%0 Journal Article %A Schnittger, Arp %A Folkers, Ulrike %A Schwab, Birgit %A Jürgens, Gerd %A Hülskamp, Martin %T Generation of a Spacing Pattern: The Role of TRIPTYCHON in Trichome Patterning in Arabidopsis %D 1999 %R 10.1105/tpc.11.6.1105 %J The Plant Cell %P 1105-1116 %V 11 %N 6 %X Trichomes in Arabidopsis are single-celled hairs that exhibit a regular spacing pattern. Here, the role of TRIPTYCHON (TRY) in the generation of this spacing pattern is studied. By using genetic mosaics, we demonstrate that the formation of trichome clusters in try mutants is not correlated with cell lineage, indicating that TRY is required to single out trichome cells in a process involving cellular interactions. The genetic interactions of TRY, GLABRA1 (GL1), and TRANSPARENT TESTA GLABRA (TTG) in trichome patterning are assessed by determining the cluster frequency in various genetic combinations. It is shown that TRY acts as a negative regulator of GL1- and TTG-dependent pathways. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that trichome initiation in ttg-1, a strong ttg allele, is rescued almost to wild-type levels in a try background in which GL1 is expressed under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter, indicating that TTG acts upstream of GL1 and TRY. These findings are incorporated into a model to explain the generation of a trichome spacing pattern from a homogeneous population of epidermal cells. %U http://www.plantcell.org/content/plantcell/11/6/1105.full.pdf | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Toxoplasma
Toxoplasma
It is a disease caused by a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. The parasite is found in the bodies of some animals and can be transmitted to humans by eating the meat of these animals uncooked or undercooked. Or, raw meat can be passed through contact with other foods during preparation, without good washing. Of course, during the infection during pregnancy, it can also pass to the baby in the mother’s womb via the placenta and this is called congenital toxoplasma.
Its frequency in the population is not known precisely because it does not cause symptoms or gives symptoms that can be confused with other diseases. However, it is estimated that 25% of women of childbearing age have had the infection before. As the age increases, the probability of encountering the parasite in any way increases, so the probability of having the infection increases.
The probability of having an infection during pregnancy is about 1% for expectant mothers who have not had an infection before. Those who have previously been infected are considered to be immune to the infection.
What is the importance of infection during pregnancy?
This parasite, called Toxoplasma, can be transmitted to the baby during the course of the infection during pregnancy. As a result, it can cause damage to organs such as eyes, brain, liver, intestines, and may cause developmental delay.
The further the gestational week is, the higher the probability that the infection passed during pregnancy will pass to the baby through the placenta. Thus, while the probability of passing the infection to the baby in the first trimester is 25%, this probability increases to 50% in the second trimester and to 75% in the third trimester.
What are the symptoms?
Toxoplasma infection is an infection that is often passed without symptoms. The course of the infection during pregnancy without symptoms does not reduce the risk of transmission to the baby. When toxoplasma presents, it is often in the form of swelling of the lymph nodes or rashes. In severe cases, symptoms of organ infections such as infection of the retina of the eye, infection of the heart muscle, infection of the brain and membranes covering the brain may occur in individuals who have been infected.
What happens when the infection is passed on to the baby?
In the first trimester, the probability of transmitting the infection of the mother-to-be to her baby is low, but when the baby is infected, the risk of miscarriage or serious toxoplasma infection sequelae in the baby is high. As the gestational week progresses, the probability of transmission to the baby gradually increases, while the risk of sequelae of the infection to be passed on to the baby decreases. There are exceptions to this rule.
Signs and symptoms such as jaundice, growth retardation, enlargement of multiple lymph nodes, enlargement of the liver and spleen, convulsions, calcification in the brain tissue, hydrocephalus, eye infection, microcephaly, and neurological developmental defects can be observed at birth in babies who were infected before birth.
How is it diagnosed?
Despite the variety of toxoplasma diagnostic methods, the most commonly used one is the search for toxoplasma-specific antibodies in the blood. For this purpose, antibodies called toxoplasma IgG and toxoplasma IgM are searched. IgM indicates a current infection, while IgG usually indicates a previous infection. Showing that IgG increases in the blood taken after a certain period of time also indicates a recent or ongoing infection. Toxoplasma IgM antibodies can remain positive for months after infection in some people.
What to do when an infection is detected during pregnancy?
Having an infection during pregnancy does not necessarily mean that the infection will be transmitted to the baby, and if it does, a problem will occur in the baby. The transmission of infections to the baby, especially in the later weeks of pregnancy, rarely creates a problem.
A four-fold increase in cytomegalovirus-specific IgG antibody in the blood in two separate measurements or detection of IgM antibody in a single sample is diagnostic of infection. In those with previously determined IgG, elevated IgG alone makes the diagnosis of recurrent infection. However, erroneous results are also relatively common as it can cross-react. Sometimes, depending on the previous infection, the IgM level may remain high for weeks or even months. There are Avidity tests that distinguish this situation.
In some cases, this infection is suspected by detecting early growth retardation, microcephaly and/or calcifications in the brain tissue.
Is the diagnosis possible for the fetus during pregnancy?
Although toxoplasma infection during pregnancy and especially in the first months of pregnancy, the probability of passing on to the baby in the mother’s womb is 25-30%, if it passes to the baby, the probability of serious damage to the baby is around 75-80%. Therefore, in cases where it is certain that she had toxoplasmosis in the first months of pregnancy, not continuing the pregnancy is an option.
If the gestational week is between 15-22 weeks, toxoplasma antigen can be searched in the amniotic fluid by amniocentesis. If the result is negative, the pregnancy can be continued. However, since there is a possibility of transmission from the mother to the baby after the date of amniocentesis, both IgM and virus antigen can be checked by taking blood from the baby’s umbilical cord at 22nd-23rd gestational week. If it is detected, termination of pregnancy should be an option, it is not always possible to say that it will definitely protect the fetus, despite the fact that the mother has a therapeutic drug against this infection and is used by the mother.
When there is a suspicion of toxoplasmosis, Spiramycin treatment should be started immediately to the pregnant woman and if it is confirmed that she has an infection; In this case, Triple Therapy consisting of Primetamine + Sulfadiazine + Folinic acid should be started immediately and alternate treatment with Spiramycin should be applied in three-week periods.

place in such a medium at least until he could show a circulation of 15,000. At one time in the first eighteen months the magazine was nearly sel : supporting, and it is conceivable that if the original character derived from the translations had been main- tained the International might have found a permanent place for itself. Mr. Brower sunk $10,000 a year in it for six years, and in July, 1901, discontinued experimenting. Today he says:
To publish a literary magazine, three things are needed: business sense, literary sense, and money and the business sense must be that of the publishing business.
The influence of the University of Chicago upon the literary interests of the city, during the fifteen years in which the uni- versity has been one of the institutions of the community, has grown to be great. At the present time it is to be seen in many directions, and is recognized as specially direct in one of the general magazines published in the city. From the day the uni- versity opened its doors, its potential influences were regarded by men down-town as including a new force for development of literary activity. In 1893, when the professors and students on its quadrangles were living in a university atmosphere vibrant with the noise of natives of foreign lands which came to the campus from beyond the fence of the Midway Plaisance, the university's unofficial sanction was sought for Current Topics, a magazine begun in that year by a promoter of certain business schemes named David Wever, who had a publishing office for the periodicals in the Masonic Temple. Mr. Wever, as both editor and publisher, endeavored to give and, judging from the recol- lections of down-town literary workers, and also from those of some members of the faculties, succeeded in giving the im- pression that the magazine had some sort of University of Chi- cago sanction. The publishing of contributions from the pro- fessors and students of the university was the method followed in giving this impression. These were articles in the more serious vein of literary criticism, and helped greatly to fill the eighty- four pages in the rather solid-appearing journal printed in the regular magazine form, and bound in a heavy blue cover.

Talk:Non-performing loan
Rename page
IMHO the page whould be renamed NPL(Non-Perfoming Loan) and linked to all library elements, that mention NON PERFORMING LOANS. I am aware of the reluctancy to use TLS in wikipedia, but NPLs have become the acronymous for Non Performing loans. Melchisedech Talk''' 11:35, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
* Well, you did it to renamed it from Non-performing loan to NPL (Non-Performing Loan). However, it is conteversial and not in-line with naming policy of wikipedia, so reverted. Matthew_hk t c 06:45, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
Merger Proposal
The artile should be merge in NPL. The article keeps on mentioning NPA, referinng as Non Perfoming Loans, ie an investment that does not perform accordingly to it admortisation plan. In case this page can be made as a simple chapter of "indian terminology" as apparently it only apply to India My source: I manage a NNP fund Hope this helps Cheers Melchisedech Talk''' 22:59, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
* Partially agree Non-performing asset seem a related and roughly the same concept with Non-Performing Loan/Non-Performing exposure, but need more citation to tell the different / they are the same. Matthew_hk t c 06:42, 10 November 2017 (UTC) | WIKI |

Name
ST_RemoveIrrelevantPointsForView — Removes points that are irrelevant for rendering a specific rectangluar view of a geometry.
Synopsis
geometry ST_RemoveIrrelevantPointsForView(geometry geom, box2d bounds, boolean cartesian_hint = false);
Descrizione
Returns a geometry without points being irrelevant for rendering the geometry within a given rectangluar view.
This function can be used to quickly preprocess geometries that should be rendered only within certain bounds.
Only geometries of type (MULTI)POLYGON and (MULTI)LINESTRING are evaluated. Other geometries keep unchanged.
In contrast to ST_ClipByBox2D() this function
• sorts out points without computing new intersection points which avoids rounding errors and usually increases performance,
• returns a geometry with equal or similar point number,
• leads to the same rendering result within the specified view, and
• may introduce self-intersections which would make the resulting geometry invalid (see example below).
If cartesian_hint is set to true, the algorithm applies additional optimizations involving cartesian math to further reduce the resulting point number. Please note that using this option might introduce rendering artifacts if the resulting coordinates are projected into another (non-cartesian) coordinate system before rendering.
[Warning]
For polygons, this function does currently not ensure that the result is valid. This situation can be checked with ST_IsValid and repaired with ST_MakeValid.
Example: ST_RemoveIrrelevantPointsForView() applied to a polygon. Blue points remain, the rendering result (light-blue area) within the grey view box remains as well.
Example: Due to the fact that points are just sorted out and no new points are computed, the result of ST_RemoveIrrelevantPointsForView() may contain self-intersections.
Availability: 3.5.0

Falcon (comics)
The Falcon (Samuel Thomas "Sam" Wilson) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was introduced by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist Gene Colan in Captain America #117 (Sept. 1969) and was the first Black American superhero in mainstream comic books.
Samuel Wilson, known by his superhero alias Falcon, uses mechanical wings to fly, defend, and attack. He also has limited telepathic and empathic control over birds. After Steve Rogers retired, Wilson become Captain America in All-New Captain America #1 (Jan. 2015) and the leader of the Avengers. Wilson's deceased nephew was the Incredible Hulk's sometime sidekick Jim Wilson, one of the first openly HIV-positive comic-book characters. Jim Wilson's father Gideon Wilson would go on to join the Gamma Corps.
Wilson as Falcon and Captain America has made several media appearances, including in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where the character is portrayed by Anthony Mackie in the films Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015), Ant-Man (2015), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019), the television miniseries The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021), and the upcoming film as Captain America in Captain America: Brave New World (2025).
Publication history
Samuel Thomas Wilson, known as Falcon, was the first Black American superhero in mainstream comic books. The character first appeared in Captain America #117 (Sept. 1969).
Created by writer-editor Stan Lee and artist Gene Colan, he came about, Colan recalled in 2008, "...in the late 1960s [when news of the] Vietnam War and civil rights protests were regular occurrences, and Stan, always wanting to be at the forefront of things, started bringing these headlines into the comics. ... One of the biggest steps we took in this direction came in Captain America. I enjoyed drawing people of every kind. I drew as many different types of people as I could into the scenes I illustrated, and I loved drawing black people. I always found their features interesting and so much of their strength, spirit and wisdom written on their faces. I approached Stan, as I remember, with the idea of introducing an African-American hero and he took to it right away. ... I looked at several African-American magazines, and used them as the basis of inspiration for bringing The Falcon to life."
He was introduced as an unnamed former resident of New York City's Harlem neighborhood, who had adopted a wild falcon he trained and named Redwing. His own name, Sam Wilson, was not given until the following issue. When a group of men on an island "in the tropics" wanted a hunting falcon, Wilson answered the ad, only to discover that the self-dubbed "Exiles" were former Nazis in league with the supervillain the Red Skull. He escaped, but remained on the island to organize the natives to confront the Exiles, who had turned them into serfs. At the urging of Steve Rogers, whom he later learned was Captain America, Wilson took on the costumed identity of the Falcon and underwent training with Rogers to better inspire the villagers and lead the fight.
Through most of the 1970s, the Falcon and Captain America were a team in New York City. The series was cover-billed Captain America and the Falcon from issues #134–192 and 194–222 (Feb. 1971–June 1978), though still copyrighted as Captain America. In issue #186 (June 1975), writer Steve Englehart retconned aspects of the Falcon's past. Originally depicted as a former social worker, motivated by a desire to better the lives of inner-city youth, the Falcon was revealed as a mob-connected thug whose memories were altered by the reality-warping Cosmic Cube.
The Falcon briefly joined the superhero team the Defenders, appearing in issues #62–64 (August–October 1978), and was a member of the Avengers from issues #183–194 (May 1979 – April 1980). During this time he also starred in a solo adventure in issue #49 of the try-out series Marvel Premiere; however, the story was not a try-out for a Falcon series, but an intended fill-in issue of Captain America which was shuffled into Marvel Premiere when the editors objected to having an issue of Captain America with someone other than the title character as the star. He starred in his own four-issue miniseries in 1983, written by Jim Owsley (later known as Christopher Priest). Its first issue was illustrated by Paul Smith with the final three issues by Mark Bright. The series revealed that the Falcon was a mutant, although this development was later retconned in The Avengers 2001 Annual.
After regularly appearing in Captain America vol. 2 (Nov. 1996–Nov. 1997), the Falcon rejoined the Avengers in The Avengers vol. 3, #1 (Feb. 1998). This time, he remained with the team, becoming one of its most prominent members by issue #57 (Oct. 2002). Concurrently, he was also a supporting character in Captain America vols. 3–4 (Jan. 1998–Feb. 2002 and June 2002–Dec. 2004). The Falcon next appeared in the short-lived Captain America and the Falcon series, in 2004 and 2005. After the events of the storyline "Avengers Disassembled", when the Scarlet Witch temporarily restored his criminal personality, the Falcon became a supporting character in Captain America vol. 5 (Jan. 2005–July 2009). The Falcon continued to play a significant role in the series after it returned to its original numbering, beginning with Captain America #600 (Aug. 2009).
Falcon was a member of the Avengers in the 2012 Marvel NOW! relaunch.
On July 16, 2014, Marvel Comics announced that Sam Wilson would relinquish the mantle of Falcon and would become the new Captain America, succeeding Steve Rogers in the role. During this run, it is established that Sam Wilsons's "Snap" backstory as a drug dealing pimp was fake memories implanted by the Red Skull to discredit Sam through racism.
An ongoing series starring Sam Wilson as Captain America launched in October 2015, as part of Marvel's post-Secret Wars relaunch, written by Nick Spencer and Daniel Acuña.
Wilson temporarily returns to the role of Captain America in the 2017 miniseries Marvel's Generations.
Wilson resumed the identity of Falcon in a series written by Rodney Barnes that debuted in late 2017, the character's first solo series since 1983.
Early life
Samuel Thomas Wilson was born in Harlem, New York City, to Paul Wilson, a prominent minister, and Darlene Wilson. Wilson had a happy childhood and finds he has a natural affinity for birds. He takes up training pigeons, and has the largest pigeon coop in Harlem. In his teens, however, encounters with racism leave him jaded. When he is 16, Wilson refuses to join the church, believing his deeply religious parents to be ignorant for their faith. To his surprise, rather than put up a fight, his parents provide him with books on different religions and comparative theology. The next night, however, Sam's father is killed trying to break up a neighborhood fight (originally Paul was said to have been killed when Sam was 9 years old). Two years later, his mother is shot and killed by a mugger one block from their apartment. The tragic death of his parents does not stop Sam from being a respected community volunteer.
As a grown adult, Sam continued doing social work and meets Captain America on Exile Island (years later, he would say "I actually loved this place quite a bit. It's where I met my two best friends," referring to Captain America and Redwing). The once-peaceful island had been taken over by the Exiles, a group of would-be world conquerors who had collaborated with the Nazi supervillain the Red Skull during World War II. They had been betrayed by the Red Skull and were forced to remain in hiding on the island, enslaving the natives. Wilson finds and befriends Redwing, a falcon with which he feels a remarkably strong bond.
Becoming the Falcon
Wilson is an upright and cheerful social worker who is eventually lured to the Exiles' island and organizes the natives to fight for their freedom. Steve Rogers (Captain America) befriends him there and convinces Wilson to adopt a persona to inspire the natives in their rebellion. The two create the costumed persona the Falcon and train together extensively before attacking and defeating the Exiles and the Red Skull. The Falcon becomes Captain America's regular partner in crime-fighting, and briefly even takes on the Captain America costume and identity when Rogers is believed to have been killed.
Later, again as the Falcon, Wilson receives help from Black Panther, who creates a harness for him, allowing him to fly. When Rogers briefly abandons his Captain America identity, others attempt to take up the mantle, including a young man named Roscoe whom the Falcon mentors. When the Red Skull eventually kills Roscoe, Rogers again becomes Captain America.
Soon afterwards, the Red Skull tricks Sam into believing that he had a secret past as Snap Wilson, a professional Los Angeles criminal and gang member persona created out of grief and "angry at the world" following the death of Sam's parents. Red Skull makes the untruthful claim that the Cosmic Cube was used to erase the memories of this Snap Wilson past so that Sam could be used as a mole for Red Skull. Red Skull then unsuccessfully attempts to use the Cosmic Cube to make the Falcon kill Captain America. Believing in the existence of this fake criminal past but deciding to continue as a hero, the Falcon is eventually named head of the Super Agents at the espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D.
US government superhero liaison Henry Peter Gyrich then recruits Wilson, one of the few active black superheroes, to fill a mandated racial quota for the venerable team the Avengers. Resentful of being a "token", the Falcon quits at the first opportunity. He debuts a new costume when he fights the supervillain Taskmaster.
2000s
Falcon becomes a member of the new team of Avengers assembled to fight the international menace Scorpio as a United Nations peacekeeping agency. By this point, Falcon had discovered that he could extend his telepathic bond with Redwing, allowing him to control other birds and "see" through their eyes. He uses this ability to spy on Henry Gyrich (now the Avengers' liaison with the United Nations) and discovers that the United States' Secretary of Defense, Dell Rusk, has been pressuring Gyrich to spy on the Avengers and turn over their secrets. Although initially hostile to one another, Falcon convinces Gyrich to help the Avengers spy on Rusk, feeding him false information while gathering evidence to expose him. They discover that Rusk is actually the Red Skull, who has launched a biological weapon attack on the United States, intending to use the ensuing panic to gain control over America's government and start a war with other countries. Falcon is instrumental in defeating the Red Skull.
It is around this period of time that, a new "Captain America" secretly created by the Office of Naval Intelligence (O.N.I.) goes rogue and begins eliminating anything and anyone he sees as a source of terrorism. To draw out this agent (dubbed "The Anti-Cap"), O.N.I. leaks information about their involvement in a biological weapons project with the notorious Rivas Family, powerful Cuban drug lords. Reporter and social activist Leila Taylor investigates this rumor and attempts to smuggle a sample of the virus into America, but she is arrested by U.S. forces in Cuba. Falcon, who is a friend of Taylor, breaks her out of prison and investigates her claims, destroying the Rivas Family's biological weapons lab and obtaining a sample of the mysterious virus they were developing for O.N.I. Falcon is able to fly Leila back to America (although his flying harness is destroyed in a hurricane) while Captain America follows Falcon's directions and retrieves the virus sample. The Anti-Cap kills the head of the Rivas family, and pursues Leila, Falcon, and Cap, intent on obtaining the virus sample. After reuniting, Falcon and Captain America are able to barely defeat the Anti-Cap. Realizing that O.N.I.'s goal was to draw out their rogue agent to execute him, Captain America arranges to have the Anti-Cap secretly imprisoned in the Wakandan embassy until O.N.I. agrees not to kill him.
Since Captain America and Falcon now possess both O.N.I.'s rogue agent and the last remaining sample of O.N.I.'s virus, O.N.I. begins to put increasing amounts of pressure on the heroes. Falcon is especially targeted – he had broken Leila out of Federal Custody, and his alleged criminal history makes it easier for O.N.I. to create further false charges against him. Falcon soon finds himself on the run from O.N.I.
Meanwhile, the superheroine the Scarlet Witch, having gone insane, begins using her powers to recreate many of the Avengers' greatest trials and tragedies. She destabilizes the Falcon's mind, causing him to act increasingly like the "Snap Wilson" persona. He begins carrying a gun, keeps secrets from his friends, assaults Leila's boyfriend Norman when he protests they go into hiding, and uses a high power rifle to shoot at his friend Robbie Robertson (to fool Robbie into thinking O.N.I. was threatening to kill him). Although they succeed in exposing the illegal activities of O.N.I. and clear Wilson's name, Sam's methods cause his relationship with Captain America to become strained. Cap confronts Falcon about his recent actions, and Falcon, angered at what he sees as an ultimatum, terminates their partnership. As they are walking away, Norman (who blames Falcon for the end of his relationship with Leila) appears and shoots at Falcon. Captain America is seriously injured by the stray bullets, and even appears to die. The shock of watching his best friend seemingly die because of his actions has a powerful effect on Sam, who briefly gives up being Falcon and reexamines his life.
Sam Wilson reappears as Falcon in the 2005 "House of M" storyline and in the 2006–07 "Civil War" storyline. In the latter, he supports Captain America against the Superhuman Registration Act. When the Captain becomes incapacitated, Falcon temporarily assumes leadership of the "Secret Avengers" rebel group. Following Captain America's assassination by the machinations of the Red Skull, the Falcon registers with the government and is made responsible for Harlem, although he continues to maintain contact with the underground The New Avengers. He is also called upon to investigate the Captain's assassination by locating Winter Soldier and tracking down the Red Skull.
Becoming Captain America
Wilson appears in the 2010 "Shadowland" storyline as Falcon, after which he becomes an operative in the new incarnation of the Heroes for Hire team, in the book of the same name. He later appears in the 2012 "Avengers vs. X-Men" storyline, helping She-Hulk and several other Avengers contain the students at the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.
As part of the 2012-2015 Marvel NOW! relaunch, Wilson rejoins the Avengers after Iron Man and Captain America choose to expand the team's line-up. After Rogers is aged into an old man, he appoints Wilson as his 'official' replacement as Captain America. During a confrontation with the Red Skull's daughter Sin, it is revealed that the "Snap" identity was a fake memory implanted into Sam by the Red Skull in an attempt to discredit the hero through racism.
As part of the 2015 All-New, All-Different Marvel initiative, Captain America investigated the disappearance of Mexican teenager Joaquin Torres after he was abducted by the Sons of the Serpent. After fighting Armadillo and capturing the leader of the hate group, Captain America discovered that Joaquin was being used in the experiments of Karl Malus who turned Joaquin into a bird/human hybrid using Captain America's pet bird Redwing. When Karl Malus was defeated, Captain America took Joaquin in. When it was discovered Joaquin's bird/human hybrid condition wasn't temporary, Captain America learned from Claire Temple that Joaquin's condition was permanent due to Redwing being vampiric and sporting a healing factor. When Captain America was captured by the Serpent Society and thrown out the window by Viper, he was saved by Joaquin. Using his link with Redwing, Captain America telepathically sent Joaquin the knowledge on how to fight where he held his own until Misty Knight and Demolition Man showed up. After the Serpent Society was defeated, Captain America allowed Joaquin to become his sidekick, enabling him to become the new Falcon.
During the 2016 "Avengers: Standoff!" storyline, Sam, after defeating the Green Skull, is contacted by Whisperer (an alias of Rick Jones). After meeting Whisperer, he learns that S.H.I.E.L.D. never discarded the Kobik project as he thought they did. He meets with Steve Rogers, where they follow a lead to a town in Connecticut and are later picked up by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. He then meets the Winter Soldier and rescue S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Avril Kincaid from the Blood Brothers, who informs them of a super-weapon hidden in the town that Baron Zemo and the other villains are looking for. They then head to the bowling alley where Kobik uses her powers to restore Steve Rogers to his prime when he was about to be killed by Crossbones. They begin looking for Kobik again only to discover that Baron Zemo had Fixer invent a device that would help find Kobik as Kraven the Hunter rallies the villains to help with their goals. Upon not being able to successfully locate Kobik, Steve Rogers decides to rally the heroes so that they can take the fight to Baron Zemo. In the aftermath of the incident, Steve and Sam plan to keep what happened at Pleasant Hill under wraps at the time being.
After the "Standoff!" storyline, Sam begins to face public pressure to return the shield and mantle of Captain America to Steve, as does Maria Hill for the consequences of her actions on Pleasant Hill. He and Steve then begin to secretly plan for a way to get Hill to face her crimes publicly. During a press conference, Sam encounters the mercenary Chance who was about to kill Steve in the middle of his speech. After defeating him, Sam receives a hero's welcome when Steve announces him to the public as Captain America. While getting arrested, Chance tells Sam that he was on Pleasant Hill and that he didn't agree with the heroes' actions.
During the 2016 "Civil War II" storyline, Captain America attends War Machine's funeral, where he delivers an inspirational speech. He then has private conversations with Iron Man and Captain Marvel, over which side he should choose. Months later, Wilson watches a TV broadcast about former New Warrior Rage engaging in a fight with the Americops, a private police force funded by Keane Industries, in Brooklyn. Intending to stop the fight, Wilson, along with Redwing and Falcon, try to contain the situation. Sam manages to stop the fight, although not without fighting the Americops, for which he knew the media would portray him negatively. As he leaves, he is attacked from behind by U.S. Agent. After a brief argument, Captain America and U.S. Agent begin to fight, with U.S. Agent gaining the upper hand, until Sam drags him into a tunnel where the darkness and the great horned owls that reside in it allow him to win the fight. After defeating U.S. Agent and receiving an argument from Rage, Wilson returns to his headquarters where he decides to put a tiny implant in his brain that will enhance his ability to see what birds see, enabling him to transmit them into a data storage facility that converts them into images and videos. He decides to further investigate the Americops to find proof of their violent activities.
While accompanying Steve Rogers on a mission to stop Flag-Smasher from leaking America's nuclear launch codes, Wilson fails to save a senator from being shot by the villain, further compromising his current public image. This is subsequently revealed to have been deliberately staged by Rogers who has been converted to believe he is a Hydra sleeper agent since childhood. Using his greater familiarity with the shield, Rogers deliberately put Wilson in a position where he would be unable to use the shield to save the senator, with the final goal of demoralizing Sam to the point where he will return the shield to Rogers of his own free will (not wanting to kill Wilson and risk creating a martyr).
After discovering that Rage was arrested and accused of robbing a pawn shop which Man Mountain Marko and Speed Demon committed, Sam offers him professional help from other heroes, but Rage turns it down, preferring that he should be the one to prove his innocence. After consulting with his brother and Rogers, Sam posts a video on the internet showing footage of the Americops beating up Rage, exposing their violent activities. During Rage's trial, a frustrated Sam leaves the courtroom and captures Speed Demon, who confesses to his and Man Mountain Marko's involvement in the pawn shop robbery. Upon returning to the court, Misty tells Sam that the verdict was already given. While people protest over Rage's arrest, Sam tries his best to calm them. Sam leaves a letter which explains he is ending his role as Captain America and returning the shield to Steve Rogers
During the 2017 "Secret Empire" storyline, Sam has spent time alone in a desert and returns to the city where he discovers Hydra's takeover of the United States and that Steve Rogers is their leader. Sam rescues a woman and her Inhuman daughter from Hydra enforcers, Sam reluctantly helps them to safety. He reunites with Misty Knight and Demolition Man and helps smuggle other Inhumans out of the country. He helps Ant-Man smuggle his daughter Cassandra Lang then declines their offer to join the underground resistance. When Hawkeye and the Tony Stark A.I. reveal that Kobik was responsible for Steve's change, Sam agrees to help smuggle them out of the country so they can find the Cosmic Cube's fragments. Sam takes the group through an abandoned subway tunnel where they encounter Mole Man, with whom Sam strikes a deal when they are attacked by Dreadnoughts sent by Hydra. After crossing the tunnel, the group departs in a jet plane. They arrive in a mansion where Ultron resides, since he is in possession of the shard. They encounter Steve Rogers and his Avengers until Ultron captures them. After a brief battle, Ultron allows them to leave and gives the shard to Tony's team. Steve muses that he is unconcerned about who will acquire the fragments as he has an inside man in the Tony Stark A.I.'s team.
After a series of dead ends, the team returns to the hideout, where Sam reunites with Misty, until Hydra forces arrive and begin their assault on the base. During the battle, Sam helps the other heroes in protecting the refugees and battling Hydra's Avengers and a revived Bruce Banner as the Hulk until the base explodes. In the aftermath of the attack, Sam appears standing on top of the rubble as Captain America to inspire America's superheroes not to surrender. It is later revealed that Sam had a conversation with Misty Knight and Rayshaun Lucas, the new Patriot, which has persuaded him to reassume the role of Captain America, leading the resistance and wielding Rogers' original round shield as a symbol of hope. Sam uses the Cosmic Cube fragment acquired by the resistance to help destroy the Darkforce dome surrounding Manhattan and the planetary defense shield, releasing all the trapped heroes. Liberating all the imprisoned Inhumans, the Underground attacks the Capitol which attracts the attention of Steve Rogers, who arrives wearing Cosmic Cube-powered armor. During the final battle, Sam fakes surrender and gives the fragment to Steve, only for Winter Soldier to intervene and bring Kobik and the real Steve Rogers back. The restored Steve Rogers manages to defeat the Hydra Steve Rogers with Thor's hammer and Kobik restores reality back to normal.
Return as Falcon
Upon taking the second Patriot on as his sidekick, they travel to Chicago to deal with an outbreak of gang violence, unaware that Blackheart is posing as the city's Mayor.
Powers and abilities
In his earliest appearances, Wilson exhibits a close bond with his bird Redwing, which is confirmed as being a telepathic link by Professor X in Captain America #174. The Red Skull later claims that he had used the Cosmic Cube to create a "super-normal mental link" between Sam Wilson and Redwing. Falcon later recalled memories of such an experience, stating he "Hurt like hell. Being mentally fused with that falcon. Able to see through his eyes".
Wilson eventually revealed that he has been able to extend this empathic link. "I'm always psychically connected with Redwing, but through concentration, I've recently tapped into another ability - I'm able to link-up with other birds. I have over six billion pairs of eyes in the United States alone". He used this ability to quickly search New York City when the criminal Scarecrow kidnapped two children, as well as to spy on Senator Dell Rusk (actually the Red Skull in disguise) and Henry Peter Gyrich. He is also apparently able to access the memories of birds, and see things they had witnessed in the past (although birds have a different concept of the passage of time, which makes it difficult for him to know when any events they witnessed occurred).
Wilson is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant, having been trained in Judo and Karate by Steve Rogers. Wilson is also highly skilled in the use of Captain America's shield.
Uniform and flight harness
Wilson's original Falcon wing harness featured detachable jet-powered glider wings made of lightweight titanium ribbing and Mylar. The wings were covered with wafer-thin solar power receptors that convert sunlight into electricity to power miniature high-speed electric turbine fans in his uniform and boots. The wings detached and reattached to his uniform cybernetically. The harness was destroyed in Captain America and the Falcon #2 (2004). The uniform was made of synthetic stretch fabric lined with a steel-alloy mesh.
After the original flying harness's destruction in a 2004 storyline, the Black Panther supplied Falcon with a new costume and wings. An emitter array on Falcon's back creates holographic "hard light" wings with a maximum wingspan of up to 50 ft. Controlled by a cybernetic link, the wings can be instantly reconfigured into "dozens of different cruise configurations". A "magnetic drive", in turn, provides the thrust needed to get Falcon airborne. The emitter also possesses GPS jamming devices that prevent satellite tracking, while the hard-light wings interfere with infra-red tracking. A vibranium microweave was added to the costume itself, making Falcon resistant to small arms fire. The entire system is controlled mentally through cybernetic circuitry in the Falcon's mask. The costume has in the past featured a hidden "talon", a cybernetically controlled grappling line built into the gauntlets of his costume which he uses to entangle opponents, hook objects or for swinging and climbing when his wings are detached. The costume's visors come equipped with various capabilities, including infrared lenses, giving him the ability to see objects by their infrared signature at night, magnification capabilities, and remote imaging sensors that allow a full 360 degree of vision when activated. The cowl also has a wideband receiver and transmitter with an unspecified range. The suit was originally built by the Black Panther, with costume modifications by Desmond Burrell.

When World War II struck, she became one of the first black female pilots in the U.S. military. Eventually, she was recruited into Project Rebirth, and was chosen to undergo the procedure when the other candidates Bucky, Steve Rogers, and Isaiah Bradley were badly injured by Nazi agents. After this, she became Captain America, and fought the Nazis. When the Nazis attempted to summon creatures from another dimension, she entered said dimension to hold off the invading forces, un-aging in this reality for nearly 75 years. When she finally defeated them and returned to her home dimension of Earth-65, she was recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. director Peggy Carter to continue her service as Captain America as one of her agents.
* In addition, Sam-13 appears in Spider-Gwen as the male clone of Samantha Wilson and this universe's Falcon, who works as Captain America's sidekick.

Dr. Wilson first appeared in Ultimate Nightmare and then worked on the Vision, demonstrating a high level of technological understanding and confronted George Tarleton of A.I.M. aboard a space station studying a Gah Lak Tus module. He is an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. rather than an official member of the Ultimates or Reserves, but later joins the Future Foundation when Galactus invades. He has served with or under General Nick Fury, and was a member of the armed forces but retired to pursue scientific interests. This version appears to be an accomplished combatant, especially when using the sharp edge of the metal wings he wears as a weapon, which are controlled through the help of nanotechnology, with which Wilson can communicate and retrieve computer information. The wings are partially self-repairing, as referenced in Ultimate Extinction.

Cintas (CTAS) Misses Q2 Earnings, Updates FY17 Guidance
Business services provider Cintas CorporationCTAS recorded relatively modest second-quarter fiscal 2017 (ended Nov 30, 2016) results on the back of healthy top-line growth. The company's net income was $123.5 million or $1.13 per share from continuing operations compared with $115.5 million or $1.03 per share in the year-earlier quarter. Adjusted earnings for the reported quarter were $1.15 per share, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny.
FindTheCompany | Graphiq
Quarterly revenues increased 6.4% year over year to $1,296.9 million, exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,292 million. Organic growth for the reported quarter improved 5.7% year over year. The superior top-line performance was primarily attributable to the addition of new customers, strong customer retention and higher penetration of existing customers through better and innovative products and services.
Gross margin for the reported quarter was 44.1% compared with 43.3% in the prior-year quarter. Operating income was $202.9 million, up 1.3% year over year. Operating margin was 15.6%, slightly lower than 16.4% in the year-earlier quarter.
Cintas barely outperformed the Zacks categorized Linen Supply & Related industry in the last three months with an average return of 6.1% compared with 5.6% for the latter.
Segmental Performance
Uniform Rental and Facility Services revenues for the quarter improved 7.2% year over year to $1,005.6 million. The segment accounted for 77.5% of the total revenue, with year-over-year organic growth of 6.5%. Gross margin increased 80 basis points to 44.7% in the reported quarter.
Revenues from Other segment were up 3.5% year over year to $291.4 million. This segment includes the First Aid and Safety Services, and All Other businesses that comprise the Fire Protection Services and Direct Sale business. The First Aid and Safety Services recorded organic growth of 3.3%, while its gross margin increased 290 basis points to 46.1% due to improved sourcing and leverage from existing warehouses. The All Other segment recorded organic revenue growth of 2.8%, although gross margin decreased to 38.5% from 39.6% in the year-ago quarter due to macroeconomic volatility.
Financial Position
Cintas has a solid financial position with adequate liquidity. At the quarter end, cash and cash equivalents were $143.6 million, while long-term debt was $1,044.8 million.
Net cash from operating activities was $301.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2017 compared with $265.0 million in the prior-year period. Capital expenditures in the quarter were $76 million. Free cash flow for the first half of fiscal 2017 increased to $146.5 million from $143.2 million in the year-ago period.

Separation and behavior of nonspherical particles in sedimentation/steric field-flow fractionation
Ronald Beckett, Yong Jiang, Guangyue Liu, Myeong Hee Moon, J. Calvin Giddings
Research output: Contribution to journalArticle
22 Citations (Scopus)
Abstract
Sedimentation/steric field-flow fractionation (Sd/StFFF) is an elution separation technique capable of measuring the size distribution of 0.3–100µm spherical and near-spherical particles with advantages including high resolution, fast analysis, and the ready collection of narrow size fractions. In this study we investigate the applicability of Sd/StFFF to various nonspherical particles including the doublets of spheres, rod-shaped glass fibers, compressed latex discs, and quartz particles (BCR 67 and 70) with complex mixed shapes. Some fractionation, retention, and selectivity features of these particles are defined and measured in relationship to those of spheres (latex beads), which are better understood. While the relative behavior of these two particle types depends on many factors, especially the distance of the particle from the Sd/StFFF channel wall, in most cases the nonspherical particles are eluted before spheres of equal volume and they often display higher selectivity than spherical particles. However, when retention of nonspherical particles is compared with that for spheres whose diameter is equal to the particle length, elongated particles (doublets and rods) eluted after the sphere while flattened particles (discs) eluted earlier than spheres, an observation that might assist in shape discrimination by Sd/StFFF. Thus, when latex microspheres are used for calibration to obtain size distribution curves, the diameter obtained for any given subpopulation will be less than the length of rods but greater than the diameter of discs. For complex particles such as the quartz particles, the diameter of a particle provided by classical sedimentation using spherical calibration is less than the equivalent spherical diameter of the particle in question whereas Sd/StFFF yields a diameter somewhat greater than the particle length. Thus, these two techniques will yield size distribution curves displaced from one another along the diameter axis. The difference in diameters can be eliminated by using a diameter correction factor of 2.7, which brings the distribution curves for quartz obtained by these two techniques into concurrence.

The Thought Behind the Action - Potency: What it is and what it means
Part One
Ann Jerome Croce, PhD, CCHNewcomers to homeopathy have a lot to contend with. Remedy names may seem like Greek (they're Latin), "the simillimum" may loom as inviting and secure as a floating iceberg, and taking a thorough case may feel like fishing for back-fence gossip material. Then there are all those numbers with C's and X's after them, and once you find out what they mean, you feel certain you're off the deep end once and for all. Understanding the law of similars and the single remedy requires something of a conceptual leap into what homeopathy is all about, but grasping the full meaning of potentization takes us to the deepest core of its profound significance and its healing power.
The Process: Potent medicines
Potentization is the process by which homeopathic remedies are made. It is a series of dilutions and agitations. First, the substance from which the remedy derives is either dissolved into a tincture or ground into a powder from which a tincture is made. Then begins the process of potentization, which is what distinguishes homeopathic medicines from herbal tinctures, mineral suspensions, and other natural medicines made with whole substances. In potentization, one part of the tincture is mixed with either nine (for an X potency, X being the Roman numeral 10) or ninety-nine (for a C potency, C being the Roman numeral 100) parts of a solvent such as water or alcohol, depending on the solubility of the substance. The newly diluted mixture is then shaken vigorously, which is called succussion; now that it has been both diluted and succussed one time, the result is called 1X or 1C, depending on the proportions used in the dilution. Then one part of the 1X or 1C mixture is diluted with nine or ninety-nine parts of the solvent and succussed again, producing a 2X or 2C potency. The process continues in this same way, with each step using the product of the preceding one as the basis for the next dilution. A 10X potency, for instance, has undergone ten dilutions and succussions, with the dilutions at the ratio of one part to nine; a 30C results from thirty dilutions and succussions, the dilutions being one part to ninety-nine. Remedies with higher numbers along with their X or C are more dilute and are referred to as higher potencies because they have gone further in the potentization process.
Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, developed potentization as a way to create gentler medicines. Since his time, homeopaths have created higher potencies and found that the process remains dependable. Today, homeopathic pharmaceutical companies in this country produce potentized remedies under FDA supervision and according to the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States, which sets the standards for their manufacture. Some homeopathic pharmacies employ machinery and some still create remedies by hand as Hahnemann did, but the process of serial dilution and succussion remains the same. Potencies commonly used for home care are those up to 30C; professionals may employ remedies on the X or C scale up to 200C, or higher. Past 1,000C, potency is often indicated by the Roman numeral M which stands for 1,000; 1,000C is the same as 1M.
The Paradox: Potent questions
Perhaps the most remarkable fact about potentization is that remedies become more powerful as they reach higher potencies. In other words, the more dilute a remedy, the stronger it is. However, "strong" has a different meaning here than it does with conventional medicines. As Hahnemann discovered while experimenting with potentization to create gentle medicines, potentized remedies act differently from those that remain in their original material form. The healing that a potentized remedy initiates is far more profound and inclusive of the whole person; it can, depending on the individual, heal mental and emotional problems and even chronic diseases. Rather than simply eradicating a particular physical problem, it can stimulate a higher level of health overall, so that the person becomes more resilient mentally and emotionally as well as physically. We are accustomed to thinking of "strong medicine" as that which may cause upheaval and even damage while it is serving its intended purpose, but this is a very different kind of strength. The strength of a potentized homeopathic medicine is not that of a linebacker but that of an archer: quiet, subtle, focused, and profoundly accurate.
How is all this possible? In a world where "extra strength" painkillers and cleansers crowd the shelves in stores and homes, it seems preposterous to assert that something so dilute could act so powerfully. The key is not in the dilution but in the combination of dilution and succussion. Experiments have shown that dilution alone does not produce a potentized medicine; nor does succussion alone. In fact, to characterize homeopathic remedies as "dilute" is a distortion, because they are not merely dilute. They are qualitatively different from their original state.
There is no other process that is fully analogous to potentization, but it may be helpful to compare it with distillation. Distilling a liquid removes certain of its components and retains others, creating a product which is in some ways similar and in some ways different from its source. The potentization process is like distillation in that certain properties of the original substance are gradually winnowed away while others are retained; in potentization, though, the aspects of the substance which remain are changed and even intensified by the process. Specifically, the material structure of the substance fades away while its energetic aspect is magnified.
Potentization, like much of cutting-edge science today, challenges the modern conception of matter. Generally, a remedy above the 12C potency contains no molecules of the substance from which it was made, and yet it has properties which stimulate healing and which are unique to that remedy alone. In other words, even without the molecules that identify it in its material form, the remedy still has qualities that belong to it and not to any other remedy. Moreover, the more highly potentized the remedy, the more clearly these other qualities come through, both in provings and in healing. We can infer that there is something other than molecules that makes substances unique, something that becomes stronger in the process of potentization. This has been described as the energetic aspect of the substance, and sometimes homeopaths use the analogy of electricity or resonance to explain its action, saying that the remedy works by "conveying a charge" to the patient or by matching the patient's "resonant frequency."
Partly because of this analogy, homeopathy has come to be known as "energy medicine."
Implications: Potent meanings
The observation that potentized medicines actually do work is a challenge to our accustomed ways of thinking. Culturally schooled in the twentieth-century concept of nature as essentially mechanistic, we have tremendous difficulty believing that such "dilute" medicines can work, even when we have experienced their power ourselves. If potentization makes credibility difficult for those who have seen homeopathy's effectiveness, it poses an enormous challenge to homeopathy's wider introduction in health care. At the same time, exploring its implications can lead us not only to a much deeper understanding of health but also to new questions about the nature of reality.
Ever since Descartes, western culture has accepted the idea of dualism, that mind and body—or spirit and matter—are two separate things, that they operate by different rules and mechanisms and that they have entirely different properties. By this reasoning, it seems preposterous that a non-material entity such as a potentized remedy could have any effect on the material body. How can a medicine with no detectable molecules of anything but water cause swelling to recede, bleeding to stop, high blood pressure to come down, and depression to vanish? And yet these experiences and others like them are commonplace in homeopathy.
They happen because the potentized remedy speaks the same language as the vital force. Instead of acting directly on the material body as material medicines do, potentized medicines stimulate the vital force to create material results. Measurable changes such as normalized white cell count, improved hormone levels, and shrinking cysts may follow the administration of a remedy, but not because the remedy has produced them directly. The remedy addresses the vital force, which is the power that animates the whole organism and which is no more "material" than the remedy itself.
In a sense, potentized medicines are a bridge between the physical and the metaphysical. Beginning in material substances and ending in the realm of the vital force, they span the two sides of the universe that the twentieth century saw as irreconcilably divided. Behind the fact that potentized remedies can stimulate such profound healing, behind the fact that they address the whole person, is the even more significant suggestion they make: that matter and energy, body and spirit, are not so far apart from one another after all.

viii "Sri" is written at the top of all Hindi writings; the meaning of the word is "prosperity;" it is put as a title of respect before proper names; frequently they write the same word twice over ("Sri, Sri,")—or they write "Sri Gănésh." The Muhammadans, in a similar manner, dedicate their writings to God by a character on the first page, which, as in short-hand writing, implies a whole sentence.
The history of Gănésh is as follows:
Parvutī, the mountain-born, the daughter of the Himalaya, the mountain goddess, the mother of Gănésh the wisest of deities, on the birth of her son, charmed with his beauty, and proud of the infant, in the presence of the gods assembled in council, requested their congratulations on the happy event.
Shivŭ the destroyer, although he paid the compliments necessary on the occasion, ever avoided looking upon the child. The mother naturally reproved him; Shivŭ, annoyed at the rebuke, gazed upon the infant, whose beautiful head instantly withered away beneath a glance which none can endure and live.
Indra, the abode of the gods, resounded with the lamentations of Parvutī, who, struck with dismay, was inconsolable.
Brahma, having pity on her distress, bade her be comforted, and commanded Shivŭ to bring the head of the first animal that he should find lying with its head to the north.
This sleeping with the head to the north is unlucky, and ever to be avoided, it being forbidden by the Shăstr, and the penalty thereof death.
Shivŭ went forth: the first animal he encountered in the above-mentioned unlucky position being an elephant, he cut off its head, and, returning to the assembly of the gods, fixed it upon the body of Gănésh. Seeing this, the mother became | WIKI |

Should I get a prenatal genetic screening test and what can I expect?
By: Cristela Hernandez, MD Maternal-Fetal Medicine
Pregnant women commonly ask their doctor, “Will my baby be healthy?” While the vast majority of babies are born healthy, all pregnancies are at risk for birth defects and genetic diseases. Two to three percent of babies are born with birth defects and 1 in 150 live births involve a chromosomal abnormality. Prenatal care involves screening for chromosomal abnormalities, genetic syndromes, and birth defects. Genetic screening is offered to all women during the first or second trimester of pregnancy. Subsequently, the doctor will review the mother’s results to determine, with as much accuracy as possible, whether a specific birth defect or genetic condition is present in her baby. Certain conditions can increase the mother’s risk, such as maternal age over 35, or a family history of birth defects and genetic disease. Keep in mind, that although many advances have been made, it is not possible to predict all birth defects or genetic disorders.
Prenatal genetic testing initially focused on the detection of Down Syndrome because it is the most common chromosomal abnormality, but testing has expanded to a broad range of other genetic disorders. Chromosomal abnormalities include extra or missing chromosomes such as Down Syndrome, which arises from an extra chromosome number 21. In addition, chromosomes can have abnormalities such as missing or duplicated fragments, or rearrangements from one chromosome to another. Other genetic disorders are caused by mutations in single genes, such as cystic fibrosis. Lastly, mutations in the mitochondrial DNA can also cause genetic disorders. The field of genetic disorders is complex and genetic counseling is very helpful when these abnormalities are encountered.
Prenatal genetic testing generally begins with a mother’s blood test and a fetal ultrasound exam. It is considered a screening test and does not entail any risk to the pregnancy, but is not considered a final diagnosis. Diagnostic invasive testing includes chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis, and these can provide a definitive diagnosis. Chorionic villous sampling may be performed in the first trimester and an amniocentesis in the second trimester. These procedures can rarely lead to a miscarriage, so benefits and risks should be carefully considered.
Birth defects can be identified with fetal ultrasound exams and newer technology now includes 3- dimensional imaging. If a birth defect is suspected, a detailed fetal ultrasound is recommended. A referral to a Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist can be helpful to address the multiple issues involved.
All of this information, in response to a concerned mother’s simple question, “Will my baby be healthy?” may seem overwhelming. It is important for every mother to discuss with her doctor the options in prenatal screening and her individual risk of having a genetic disease or birth defect. Prenatal genetic testing provides many benefits, including: reassuring parents when results are normal, identifying conditions which can be treated with fetal therapy before birth, and optimizing care for affected newborns. Such testing may prove very useful for the mother and doctors caring for her baby. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
More and more research is being done on the stress effects on the whole body and the problems it can cause. The latest findings show that stress is being carried from one day to another and that we shouldn’t go to bad angry, lonely and overwhelmed.
Stress is not something you can sleep off as elevated cortisol levels associated with stress stay in the body and do not decrease upon waking up.
And while increased cortisol levels can be useful in so called “threatening situations” when it gives us the rush, chronic elevated cortisol levels are linked to many physical or emotional illnesses.
And while somewhat increased cortisol levels are influencing experience, experience is certainly influencing stress hormone big time.
However, it is not just anger and everyday problems that are affecting stress hormones but scientists find that loneliness as well elevated cortisol levels. They examined around 150 older adults between ages 54 and 71 in three days time to see if their high stress levels from one day affected their behaviour the next day. Besides having to write down their feelings, study participants had to have their saliva samples tested to check for hormonal levels.
Those that went to bad lonely did have high cortisol levels in the morning indicating that a few hours' rest did not wash away any stress.
Again, this can be good for some time as slightly elevated cortisol levels in the morning could provide you with the energy that day however if this keeps up for a very long time, it will eventually wear our brain as well as the body and affect our mental and physical health.
Being able to recognize and react to stress is a very important human feature and our survival may depend on it. It is these hormonal fluctuations that help us in dealing with every day challenges.
However, if stress hormones are always high, we will lose an ability to handle stress and won’t be able to recognize stressful situations and act accordingly to them.
People should take seriously all the advices about managing their stress. Luckily, things like having friends, laughing, walking, exercising and having a sense of humor helps a lot. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Objective(s)
1. Name and define the key outputs in pressure-targeted and volume-targeted ventilator modes.
2. Define the terms resistance and compliance and predict how changes in these parameters will impact key outputs on the ventilator.
3. Apply a diagnostic approach to high peak pressure alarms in a mechanically ventilated patient.
Teaching Instructions
Plan to spend at least 30-60 minutes preparing for this talk by reaching through the teaching instructions and clicking through the Interactive Board. All clickable elements are denoted with a shaded, rounded rectangle and/or a mouse icon.
Anticipated time to deliver the talk without cases or other features: 20 minutes; anticipated time with cases: 45 minutes.
Print out copies of the Learner’s Handout so they may follow along during the presentation and take notes as you expand on the decision tree and apply it through the practice cases. Begin with reviewing the objectives for the session.
The goal of this talk is to build on concepts introduced in the Ventilators on the Fly talk. It assumes basic understanding of common ventilator terminology and focuses on assessing pulmonary mechanics by interpreting key outputs from the ventilator that results from changes in two physiologic parameters: resistance and compliance. It also prompts learners to consider the underlying pathology leading to changes in resistance and compliance.
Objective 1: Name and define the key outputs in pressure and volume-targeted. (Key Outputs)
Start with reviewing the key points from Ventilators on the Fly as this talk will build on those topics. Ask your learners to identify the key outputs in pressure and volume targeted modes of ventilation. Click on each corresponding button to reveal the answer.
• In pressure-targeted modes, the key outputs are tidal volume (Vt) and minute ventilation (VE).
• In volume targeted modes, the key outputs are peak pressure (Ppeak) and driving pressure (Pdriving).
To distill this into a simple principle: when targeting volume one must monitor pressures, and when targeting pressures, one must monitor volumes.
Click on the “minute ventilation”, “peak pressure”, “plateau pressure”, and “driving pressure” buttons to reveal a depiction of each concept and review/introduce each of their definitions.
• Tidal volume is the total volume delivered each breath.
• Minute ventilation is the tidal volume multiplied by the respiratory rate. It is typically reported in L/min.
• Peak Pressure: measures the total pressure required to deliver the targeted tidal volume during inspiration.
• Plateau pressure: measures the pressure required to hold air in the lungs at the end of inspiration for a given tidal volume. It is measured during an inspiratory hold maneuver.
• Driving Pressure: the pressure difference required to achieve the desired volume. It is calculated as plateau pressure minus the PEEP.
Objective 2: Define the terms resistance and compliance and predict how changes in resistance and compliance will impact key outputs on the ventilator. (Definitions – Ppeak; Pplateau; Pdriving)
Next, it is important to learn how to interpret lung mechanics from studying the inputs and outputs measured by the ventilator. The two key concepts are resistance and compliance.
Definitions: Ask your learners to define resistance and compliance and click on the respective buttons to reveal the definitions.
• Resistance: Resistance (R) is the opposition to airflow through the airways. Because it is measured at the ventilator, the resistance in a ventilated patient includes the airflow through the ventilator tubing and endotracheal tube as well. Resistance is proportional to the difference in pressure across a circuit. In a mechanically ventilated patient, this is assessed by subtracting the plateau pressure from the peak pressure.
R ∝ Ppeak – Pplateau
If resistance is normal, this should be <10 cm H2O.
• Compliance: Compliance (C) is a measure of the “stiffness” of the respiratory system—including lungs, pleura, chest wall, diaphragm, and intra-abdominal pressure. It is calculated as:
C = ΔV/ΔP
C = VT/(Pplateau – PEEP)
C = VT/Pdriving
The stiffer the system, the lower the compliance—meaning a patient with good compliance requires smaller pressure changes to achieve the set tidal volume. In the setting of normal compliance, the driving pressure needed to achieve a tidal volume of 4-6 cc/kg of ideal body weight is <10 cm H2O.
Ask your learners what factors influence peak pressure, plateau pressure, and driving pressure sequentially. Click on “Ppeak”, “Pplateau” and “Pdriving” in the left side navigation bar to learn about how these key outputs in volume-targeted modes of ventilation relate to resistance and compliance.
What influences Peak Pressure? (Ppeak): It is dictated by both (1) resistance and (2) compliance. Other factors that influence peak pressure include (3) inspiratory flow rate and pattern, and (4) the total PEEP in the system (including auto-PEEP).
Click on the numbers as your learners guess them to reveal the factors that influence peak pressure. Point out the portion of the pressure diagram that corresponds to each of these factors to visually show how increases in each of these components leads to increases in peak pressure.
What influences Plateau Pressure? (Pplateau): Plateau pressure is affected by pressure in and around the lung parenchyma. It is measured when airflow is absent, so there is no resistance in the system. Thus, changes in the airways do not directly affect plateau pressure. Generally, plateau pressures should be <30 cm H2O. Higher values increase the risk of barotrauma.
What Influences Driving Pressure (Pdriving):
All the things that influence plateau pressure also influence driving pressure since they are inextricably linked. Compliance of the respiratory system affects how much pressure is needed to achieve a given tidal volume.
Objective 3: Apply a diagnostic approach to high peak pressure alarms in a mechanically ventilated patient. (Peak P Alarm – Step 1; Step 2; Step 3)
High peak pressure alarms are common in the care of mechanically ventilated patients managed with volume targeted modes. Applying a structured approach helps streamline the assessment of a mechanically ventilated patient with high peak pressures using the concepts introduced above.
Ask the learners to imagine they are called to a room for elevated peak pressures. For instance, they might get a message from nursing or respiratory therapy: “I am worried about the patient in room 365. Their ventilator keeps alarming that they are having high peak pressures. Can you come assess them?”
Step 1: Establish Urgency – Assess the patient at bedside immediately as some causes of high peak pressures are emergencies. Obtain a full set of vital signs and assess key ventilator outputs. High peak pressure along with any of the following findings may indicate an emergency and should prompt immediate call for backup:
• Low O2 saturation
• Low VT
• Low VE – since an appropriate VE is relative to individual scenarios, a rough guideline for a “low VE is an approximate decrease of >50%.
• Rising PCO2 on blood gas measurement (do not delay evaluation to obtain blood gas)
• Drop in blood pressure
In emergency situations, it is imperative to prioritize calling for assistance first even whilst moving to the next steps. For example, in patients with low O2 saturations, increase FiO2 to 100% in addition to calling for back-up.
The goal of steps 2 and 3 is to assess for a resistance problem and/or a compliance problem. High resistance and low compliance result can both result in high peak pressures. Remember that they can co-exist.
Step 2: Assess Resistance – Obtain a plateau pressure by performing an inspiratory hold. Resistance is proportional to the difference between peak pressure and plateau pressure. A result > 10cm H2O is concerning for higher-than-normal resistance.
• Differential?: Ask learners to consider what might cause a higher resistance (e.g., make it to be difficult for air to pass through the tubing and airways)? Click on “differential” to reveal a list of common causes of increased resistance.
A narrowing or blockage at any point in the system increases resistance:
• Kinked tubing
• Blocked tubing (e.g. mucus, patient biting the tube)
• Bronchospasm
• Large airway obstruction (e.g. mucus plugs or blood clots)
• Action?: Ask learners what actions they can take to address each of these causes. Click on “action” to show next steps in management.
• Examine the external tubing for kinking or compression.
• Deep suctioning the endotracheal tube can clear mucus plugs and establish patency of the endotracheal tube. In rare cases suctioning may need to be performed with a bronchoscope (performed by attending or fellow)
• In a patient biting an endotracheal tube, adjusting the bite block and increasing analgesia or sedation can help.
• If the above maneuvers fail, kinked, or obstructed endotracheal tubes may need replacement by a clinician trained in airway management.
• Consider bronchodilators to address bronchospasm, especially in patients with history of obstructive lung disease.
Step 3: Assess Compliance – Obtain a plateau pressure by performing an inspiratory hold. A plateau pressure >30 cm H2O is generally considered elevated and may suggest a compliance problem. Compliance is inversely proportional to the driving pressure. Assuming equal PEEP, the higher the plateau pressure, the higher the driving pressure, and the lower the compliance of the respiratory system. A driving pressure > 10 cm H2O suggests low compliance.
• Differential?: Ask learners to consider what processes can lead to a stiffer or less compliant respiratory system. Click on “differential” to reveal common causes of increased compliance.
Generally, there are two categories to consider: 1) Alveolar filling and 2) alveolar collapse.
• Alveolar filling – alveoli can be filled with blood pus or water. Cardiogenic and noncardiogenic pulmonary edema (ARDS), pneumonia, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage all lead to increased compliance.
• Alveolar collapse – Atelectasis, lobar collapse and extrapulmonary processes that cause alveolar collapse can cause increased compliance. Extrapulmonary processes may be intrathoracic (such as pleural effusions, pneumothoraxes) or extrathoracic (such as abdominal distention, pregnancy, ascites).
• Action?: Ask learners what actions they would take to further differentiate what is going on in a patient with high compliance and start to address the underlying pathophysiology. Click on “actions” to reveal next steps in management.
• Get more history. This might make one cause more likely than another. A patient with severe COPD is more likely to air trap than a patient without obstructive lung disease. The rate of increase in the peak pressure is also telling. A pneumothorax might cause an acute rise in the peak pressure over minutes to hours whereas worsening fibrosis from ARDS may present with a slower rise over hours to days.
• Perform a targeted physical exam. Worsening pneumonia or pneumothorax may have decreased lung sounds or new rhonchi. A rigid abdomen might suggest abdominal compartment syndrome. If the patient has burns on the chest or is on a fentanyl drip, stiffening of the chest wall might be to blame.
• Obtain more clinical data. CXR and point of care ultrasound can identify worsening pulmonary infiltrates, a new or worsening pneumothorax, or significant pleural effusions. An ABG can give an overall assessment of gas exchange. If the rise in peak pressure is an acute change, ordering basic labs like a CBC, BMP, LFTs, INR, and possibly a lactate is a good starting point. If you suspect abdominal compartment syndrome, a bladder pressure aids in diagnosis. Of course, the clinical scenario will dictate the most important studies.
Take Home Points
1. Peak and plateau pressures are key outputs in volume targeted modes of ventilation. Peak pressure is influenced by the resistance, compliance, PEEP, and inspiratory flow rate. Plateau pressure is obtained by performing an inspiratory hold and generally should be <30 cm H2O
2. In assessing a patient with a high peak pressure alarm, first establish urgency, then identify whether it is a resistance or compliance issue, or both.
3. Resistance represents the opposition to airflow in the airway and is proportional to Ppeak – Pplateau. Values > 10 cm H2O represent a resistance problem and are caused blockages or narrowing in the tubing or airways.
4. Compliance measures the stiffness of the respiratory system and is inversely proportion to driving pressure, or Pplateau – PEEP. Values > 10 cm H2O represent a compliance issue such as alveolar filling processes or disorders resulting in alveolar collapse.

Abu'l-Ghana'im Muslim ibn Mahmud al-Shayzari
Amīn al-Dīn Abu ʾl-Ghanāʾim Muslim ibn Maḥmūd al-Shayzarī ( 1201–1225) was a Syrian-born Yemeni adīb and astronomer.
Al-Shayzarī was born in Damascus into prominent family of mamālīk in the service of Usāma ibn Munqidh, lord of Shayzar in Syria. His father was still living in 1169. Al-Shayzarī later moved to the court of al-Muʿizz Ismāʿīl ibn Ṭughtigīn ((r. 1197 – 1201)), Ayyubid governor of Yemen. He dedicated to him an anthology of adab in twenty-five chapters, ʿAjāʾib al-ashʿār wa-gharāʾib al-akhbār, of which a single medieval manuscript is preserved, dated 1291 and now in Peshawar. In 1225, he composed another anthology in sixteen books, Jamharat al-Islām dhāt al-nathr wa ʾl-niẓām, for the Ayyubid governor al-Masʿūd Ṣalāḥ al-Dīn Yūsuf ((r. 1215 – 1229)). He included poems by himself and his son Aḥmad. The Jamharat is preserved in a single manuscript dated 1298 and now in Leiden. A second work dedicated to al-Masʿūd is the ʿĀdāt al-nujūm, known from a manuscript copied in 1665 or 1666 and now in Ṣanʿāʾ. It is an astronomical almanac similar to the Calendar of Córdoba. It was not compiled for use in Yemen.
Al-Shayzarī's date of death is unknown. | WIKI |

Missing Images?
I was reading this page today, and there are a number of paragraphs that seem to referrence images that aren't there? Such as this: "This egg case, shown on the measuring strip depicting centimeter measurements" - with no image shown or linked to. Is this a mistake? Should there be images posted, or references to images removed? I'm not wicked familiar with this species (obv why I'm checking Wikipedia!), nor with this page, so I truly hope someone who is can address this! Thanks! Kailey elise (talk) 13:19, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
Identification guide
Does anyone know of an identification guide for different kinds of mermaid's purses you find on the beach? It would be nice to include some of that info here, so people who find them can investigate. Asbruckman 02:05, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
gestation versus incubation
If you follow the gestation link, it would suggest that it is an inapplicable term as eggs incubate and gestation is reserved for vivaparity, or live-birth. Ought this be labeled "incubate"? KrisKowal (talk) 08:20, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Is this a Murmaid's Purse?
I found this on a beach in the UK, anyone know if it's a purse and possibly what to? Ryan 4314 (talk) 06:16, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Potentially Useful Resource
Hello, I found a potentially useful resource for this page. Below is a citation for an article that outlines the morphological differences between egg cases of different chondrichthyan species. The article also contains clear diagrams of varying types of egg cases, making it easy for a reader to compare structural differences discussed within this page. Please let me know if this may be helpful on this page, or perhaps for another page on Wikipedia.
Thank you!

[Various/all Distros] Numerous Performance & Rendering Issues on 390.25
I’m experiencing same issue after upgrading to 390, even Youtube videos stutter noticeably for the first few seconds.
Best way for me to reproduce the issue is to run the WebGL 2.0 test (test 5/20) of Basemarks web benchmark:
[url]Basemark Web 3.0 | Main page
With 390 the loading (black screen) takes about 28 seconds. During that time the system is almost unusable (unresponsibe), even the hwcursor stutters…
With 387 is takes less than 1 second and everything’s smooth.
My system:
Distro: Gentoo
CPU: Ryzen 1800X
GPU: GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
Kernel: Linux 4.14.20
Browser: Chromium 64.0.3282.167 (full hardware acceleration according to chrome://gpu/)
GCC: 7.3.0
Just adding my own experience, the same issues happening with drivers 390. Reverting back to 384 (haven’t checked 387 but from comments should be safe) is solving the issue.
System:
i7 2700K @ 4500
8GB DDR3 1600MHz
GTX 970 4GB Mini
Gentoo Linux
Kernel 4.15.2
Browser: Chrome 65.0.3325.51, Vivaldi 1.14.1077.45_p1, Brave 0.20.41 (all of them had the issue)
i3wm
compton 0.1_beta2
mr.matt.eastwood or moderators, please edit the topic to reflect the fact that this is NOT just a Linux Mint issue.
I’m also experiencing the terrible performance and stuttering in Chromium.
Distribution: Gentoo Linux
Kernel: 4.10.14
nVidia drivers: 390.25
Xorg server: 1.19.6
Keeping everything else the same, but reverting to the 387.34 version of the nvidia-drivers helps dramatically. Is it perfect? No, but far better.
I’ve the same issue as the OP, but on Fedora instead of Linux Mint. The videos match exactly what I’m experiencing.
Distribution: Fedora 27
Kernel: 4.15.3-300.fc27.x86_64
NVIDIA driver: 390.25
Xorg server: 1.19.6
Graphics Card: GeForce 1060 6GB
Issue happens on both Gnome 3 and i3wm with compton, but I’ve found the issue to be significantly more noticeable in Gnome.
Having the same issue too. Curious, Fedora people, how did you install the driver? I’m using Negativo17 with akmod-nvidia.
Distribution: Fedora 27
Kernel: 4.15.3-300.fc27.x86_64
NVIDIA driver: 390.25
Xorg server: 1.19.6
Graphics Card: GeForce 960 2Gb
And another log. This time while trying to run dota.

Anyone else noticed GPU usage locked to at least 14% on this new driver (seen via nvidia-smi) when idle? It’s also causing a solid 2-4% CPU usage in top as “irq/37-nvidia”. Arch on kernel 4.15.5.
Something of note regarding the “stuck at 14% idle GPU usage” issue. It only seems to happen at 1920x1080 for me:

Switching back to 1080p causes the GPU usage to go back to 14%. This only happens on the 390.25 driver. I also get really bad black tearing across the screen at times (and almost constantly if I use VNC).
In attachment there is my nvidia-bug-report while running Unigine Superposition…
nvidia-bug-report.log.gz (135 KB)
A theory: The CompositionPipeline flags are specific to metamode. Maybe the flags are only on for 1080p and the GPU is constantly compositing when those flags are enabled.
If you didn’t turn those flags on yourself, though, that’s unlikely.
I’m using…
Option "MetaModes" "nvidia-auto-select+0+0 { ForceCompositionPipeline = On }"
… so I’d expect it to be enabled regardless of resolution.
same issue + kwin crash every time when i start games or Blender…
with new Nvidia Driver 390.25

Same issue for me running Arch + kwin + quad monitors + GTX 1070. Idle GPU usage was around 15%, Chrome was very laggy, and there were flashing black boxes on 3rd and 4th monitor when scrolling. Everything returned to normal when I reverted to 387.34 and kernel 4.14.15.
I’m on Manjaro at version 390.25 and everything runs just fine here.
The only issue I have is that I get massive performance losses, sometimes even dropping bellow 50% of what should be, if I upgrade my kernel to anything past 4.9
I’m using Linux 4.9 and steam games run really well. Past that, I get a huge performance impact.
Your setting is just applied once at startup when that mode gets set, but will be gone if you don’t mention it again when changing to a different mode.
There’s a second way to enable it through a line like this:
Option "ForceCompositionPipeline" "yes"
Using this instead of ‘MetaModes’, it will get applied to all modes you set.
Thanks, useful to know. So it looks like it is ForceCompositionPipeline causing the CPU/GPU usage issues then.
Hi, I have a GTX 1050 from MSI and everything works perfectly (even games) less Chrome (and other Chromium browsers).
I have stuttering when I visit some concrete websites, like muycomputer.com, and the start page of the browser. These are the software and hardware I use:
• GeForce GTX 1050 OC Edition from MSI as GPU (identified as GeForce GTX 1050/PCIe/SSE2 after installing the official driver)
• ASUS ROG Strix X370-F GAMING as motherboard
• AMD Ryzen 7 1700 eight-core as CPU
• ASUS Xonar DSX as soundcard
• Ubuntu 17.10.1 as operating system
• GNOME Shell 3.26.2 vanilla as desktop environment, obtained from the package gnome-session (I have Ubuntu session too, but I don't use it)
• Driver 390.25 obtained from Graphics Drivers PPA
I had similar problems using Fedora 27 Workstation and the NVIDIA official driver installed from RPMFusion. So I think it’s not a problem from implementation delivered from GPU Drivers, but a problem with the driver itself. Moreover, sometimes the stuttering affects the music too when I’m listening through Audacious (an audio player) and browsing with a Chromium Browser. For tests, I recommend to have a lot of tabs opened.
It seems that the 390 branch needs to improve yet.
Sorry if my English is not fully correct.
Ah, yes, I too have experienced the music stuttering when the browser does. Same setup with regard to music player (Audacious) and browser (Chromium).
Cross post from the arch forum thread:
I don’t know if this helps, but doing a little testing between kokoko3k’s image and my own, there is a consistent stutter triggered by I/O.
In games, when new graphical assets load (e.g. when an enemy with a model that hasn’t been loaded yet is about to be rendered) there is a noticeable stutter, system wide.
Here’s a quick and easily reproducible test: Play a video in VLC, then open Chromium. The video stutters as chromium loads. (I don’t think VLC matters here, but Chromium is a definite culprit. I used VDPAU output in VLC for both tests).
The stutter doesn’t happen on kokoko3k’s image. The video plays flawlessly. (or the stutter is < 1/24th second so not to interfere with the video)
I don’t believe it’s a disk I/O issue as I’m running everything from an nvme drive. Just to rule it out, here’s a quick benchmark:
hdparm -Tt /dev/nvme0n1
/dev/nvme0n1:
Timing cached reads: 25852 MB in 2.00 seconds = 12945.46 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 8022 MB in 3.00 seconds = 2673.95 MB/sec
Playing the video from a different disk and launching chromium, same issue.
This seems to be a similar issue as described by ColdLinux above.
I also do not have unusually high GPU utilization. Idle on the desktop it consistently 0-1%. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Atlantic and Yadkin Railway
The Atlantic and Yadkin Railway was a short line railroad within North Carolina from 1899 to 1950. It ran from Mount Airy southeast to Sanford, primarily serving the Piedmont region. Some of the rails are still in use as of 2006 as parts of the Yadkin Valley Railroad.
History
This railroad's short lifespan covered 1899 to 1950, but some of its rails were laid down in the 19th century as part of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railway (CF&YV) which ran from the Atlantic port of Wilmington, North Carolina, all the way to Mount Airy with a significant branch to Bennettsville, South Carolina. The Atlantic and Yadkin Railway came into being when representatives of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad (soon to be reorganized as the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad) outbid the Southern Railway for the debt-ridden and bankrupt CF&YV in an 1899 auction. The Wilmington & Weldon Railroad (W&W) had a clause in its incorporation that required any railroad purchased by the W&W to be placed under the same corporate name. The W&W did not want to own the whole of the CF&YV, only that portion which competed directly with its own lines in southeast North Carolina. So the CF&YV was sold to the Southern Railway, where it was reorganized as a new company under the name Atlantic and Yadkin Railway (A&Y). The newly created A&Y then sold back the southern half of its lines from Sanford to Wilmington to the W&W. The northern half remained a wholly owned subsidiary of the Southern Railway.
The questionable legality of the transaction regarding the split of the CF&YV meant years of legal wrangling by angry investors and interested state citizens who saw the only "trunk" line from the western mountains to a North Carolina port split between two competitors. In 1924, the North Carolina Supreme Court ruled that the sale and reorganization was legal. The Southern Railway wholly owned the A&Y, but kept it as an independent entity throughout the legal battles. The line was considered part of the Southern Railway until 1917, when the A&Y was allowed to run under its own name.
In 1924, the A&Y declared bankruptcy and was taken over by receivers. Receivership required a division of assets and separate operations from the Southern Railway. Eventually, the A&Y was returned to solvency.
The renewed profitability combined with the due date for the A&Y's $1.5 million in bonds in the late 1940s led the Southern Railway management to decide to merge the line into its own Winston-Salem Division. The Southern Railway paid the bonds and initiated a merger request. Despite some reservations by the merchants of Greensboro regarding lack of competition for rail transport in that growing city, the Interstate Commerce Commission approved the merger effective January 1, 1950. At that time, the Atlantic & Yadkin Railway company ceased to exist.
A 7.5 mile paved asphalt rail trail, the Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway, runs along the abandoned rail bed through Greensboro. | WIKI |
Las Vegas Sands Is Losing Its Grip on Macau's Gambling Market
Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS) reported another big quarter this week, dominated by the company's resorts in Asia. It's not a surprise the company grew, given Macau's gambling revenue growth and the opening of The Parisian last fall. What this quarter gave us a look at is where growth is concentrated and how the company's resorts are holding up against increased competition.
Luck is always a factor in the gambling industry as well. So results should be compared on an apples-to-apples basis against a year ago and what the rest of the market is doing.
Image source: Las Vegas Sands.
Where the money is in Macau
Overall, Macau revenue was up 23% to $1.82 billion, and adjusted EBITDA jumped 23% to $600 million. This showing compares with a 21.9% jump in Macau's gambling revenue , but remember that Las Vegas Sands has one more resort this year than it had a year ago -- The Parisian.
Here's a look at the gambling volume trends for Las Vegas Sands' resorts in operation for over a year:
Resort Q2 2017 VIP Volume Q2 2017 Mass Market Volume
Sands Macau $968 million (50.5%) $626 million (3.7%)
The Venetian Macau $5.17 billion (24.7%) $1.67 billion (2.3%)
Sands Cotai Central $2.52 billion (18.2%) $1.37 billion (9.5%)
Four Seasons Macau $2.42 billion (28.4%) $295 million (28.3%)
Data source: Las Vegas Sands Q2 2017 earnings report.
Volume fell considerably in the VIP market and fell at Sands Macau and Sands Cotai Central in the mass market as well. This is a theme for the quarter -- down big in VIP and holding steady in the mass market.
These results compare with a 35.3% jump in VIP play at Wynn Macau, Wynn Resorts ' (NASDAQ: WYNN) Macau peninsula property, to $16.02 billion, although mass-market volume dropped 9% to $1.07 billion. And Wynn Palace generated another $11.6 billion in VIP volume and $729 million in mass-market play.
The only reason Las Vegas Sands kept up with growth in the Macau gambling market is that it opened The Parisian last fall. Without that, it would have lost a lot of market share, primarily to Wynn Resorts. And with MGM Resorts (NYSE: MGM) and SJM Holdings opening properties in the next couple of years, it's likely there will be even more pressure on the company's market share.
Marina Bay Sands is still the king of gambling
The most important resort in Las Vegas Sands' portfolio is still Marina Bay Sands. And it's still performing incredibly well. Revenue jumped 17.7% to $836 million, and adjusted EBITDA was up 37.8% to $492 million, although both were helped by incredibly good luck.
VIP volume and mass-market volume were up 29.2% and down 2.7% respectively, which is a better indication of how the resort is doing. And occupancy of 94.3% with an average daily room rate of $397 shows just how in demand this property is.
Gambling's dividend leader keeps chugging along
Las Vegas Sands generated $1.21 billion in adjusted EBITDA, which is more than enough to pay its dividend of $0.73 per share . And investors owning the stock today should look at this as a dividend stock rather than a growth stock, given that there aren't any new resort developments on the horizon.
Investors should expect that gambling revenue in Macau probably won't keep up with the market as a whole as MGM and SJM open their properties. But Las Vegas Sands should still hold a profitable position in the mass market with its properties in the core of the Cotai Strip. And with Marina Bay Sands churning out well over $1 billion in cash flow every year, this is a great dividend stock to own for the long term.

Here's what you need to know in advertising and media this week
Hello,Welcome to the Advertising and Media Insider newsletter. First, a PSA: We're publishing our first list of rising CMOs later this summer, and we want your ideas. Read the criteria and how to make a nomination by August 15 here.On to the news: We're seeing the rise of direct brands impact the marketing and advertising world in new ways. For one:A leading direct-to-consumer ad agency behind upstarts including Harry's and Hims just raised $14 million to spin off into its own multi-brand DTC companyAd agencies don't want to just help bring direct brands to market anymore. One, Gin Lane, the agency behind direct-to-consumer upstarts Harry's and Hims, is relaunching itself as a company called Pattern that will make DTC brands itself. The competition's fierce, but Pattern's founders told senior reporter Tanya Dua that they believe with 10 years of experience, they know what they're doing.DTC brands are also attracting investor fever. Consumer brands have raised more than $3 billion since 2012, about half of it raised in 2018 alone, according to CB Insights data cited by Digiday. Tanya also asked investors what their hot DTC picks are.Investors from Greycroft, Science, Lerer Hippeau, and others who control millions of dollars name the direct-to-consumer startups that will blow up this year After the healthy sodas and canned booze, some of the more novel ones to me included companies that sell affordable bathing suits for people of all sizes, personalized migraine treatments, and online classes.Finally, the direct-to-consumer explosion is touching PR agencies. PR agencies are beefing up their data services to keep consulting firms like Deloitte and Accenture from eating their lunchCompanies that built themselves by selling directly to consumers on social media are entirely optimized around sales, so to get their business, PR agencies need to show their services can help lead to business outcomes. PR firms have traditionally relied on inaccurate measurement, so now they're adding data services to show their work actually delivers.Now, a fun thing: I have to plug this piece of great reporting by entertainment reporter Jason Guerrasio on movie subscription service MoviePass. Jason tells the definitive story of the company's rise and fall — and of the lasting impact it's had on the movie business.Here's the rest of the Advertising and Media Insider newsletter, where we round up the most interesting stories we covered this past week.

Longer format losing significance among youngsters - Morgan
April 12, 2018 / 11:36 AM / Updated 2 hours ago Longer format losing significance among youngsters - Morgan Reuters Staff 2 Min Read
(Reuters) - England’s limited-overs captain Eoin Morgan has said that test cricket and the County Championship hold little significance to young players who are increasingly leaning towards the shorter Twenty20 format. Cricket - England Nets - Kia Oval, London, Britain - September 26, 2017 England's Eoin Morgan during nets Action Images via Reuters/Paul Childs
Morgan, who hopes to represent Middlesex in England’s domestic four-day game for the first time in three years this season, believes that he is among the last generation of cricketers for whom the game’s oldest format is still relevant.
“I am not sure the (County) Championship matters to everyone any more,” Morgan told the Times. “I am a bit unique in wanting to return to play in it. I would say I am the last generation of people who care about it.”
Earlier this year, England opener Alex Hales and all-rounder Adil Rashid chose to play only limited-overs cricket for their counties Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire respectively.
England coach Trevor Bayliss said more players could follow if the current congested schedule is not reduced.
“The guys who play it all the time care but I am not sure it holds the same significance to the players who are now exposed to lots of different types of cricket around the world. It is now down the ladder of their priorities,” Morgan said.
Test cricket has witnessed a decline in attendances in recent years, prompting a range of initiatives to engage fans and increase viewership, including the introduction of day-night tests.
Morgan, however, offered a gloomy assessment of the future of red-ball cricket.
“Priorities are shifting. Red-ball cricket has gone backwards. It is not what people want to watch — they want to watch T20, that’s the reality,” he added.
“I don’t have many, if any, kids who come up to me and say they want to play test cricket. They want to play one-day shots.” Reporting by Shrivathsa Sridhar in Bengaluru; Editing by Toby Davis | NEWS-MULTISOURCE |
Common questions
How much differential fluid do I need Ford Ranger?
How much differential fluid do I need Ford Ranger?
The owner’s manual for the 2019 model year states 80W-90 fluid and 3.04 pints for a locking axle.
What fluid goes in a ford 8.8 rear end?
Ford revised the recommendations for 8.8s to use 75w140. Any synthetic of choice will be ok. I personally have had good results with mobil1, redline and amsoil.
What kind of gear oil does a Ford Ranger take?
Royal Purple 01300 Max Gear 75W-90 High Performance Synthetic Automotive Gear Oil , 1 Quart (32… Always use luca 80w-90 in ford ranger 2.3l, 7.5″ rear diff.
How do you check the differential fluid on a Ford Ranger?
To Check The Fluid Level:
1. Make sure the transmission is in P (A/T) or in gear on a manual, then FIRMLY set the parking brake and block the drive wheels.
2. Check under the vehicle to see if there is sufficient clearance for you to access the filler plug on the side of the differential housing.
What happens when you don’t change your rear differential fluid?
If this fluid isn’t changed in the manufacturer-prescribed intervals, then it can get dirty and thick, which could damage the differential over time.
How do I know if I have a limited slip differential?
The easiest way to tell if you have an open differential is to jack up the car and spin one of the rear tires. If the other wheel spins in the opposite direction, you have an open differential. If it spins in the same direction, you have a limited slip differential, or LSD.
How do you fill transmission fluid in a Ford Ranger?
Start the truck and let it run for 2 minutes and then, holding the brake, shift it through reverse and drive, hesitating for 30 seconds in each position. Put the transmission back into neutral. With the engine running and the transmission in neutral, check the fluid and fill as needed.
How to check front axle fluid in Ford Ranger?
The 1998 and newer Ford Ranger uses a different style front axle assembly than the 1983-1997 models. To check the fluid in these differentials, you have to remove the fill plug on the drivers side of the differential.
What kind of differential did a 1999 Ford Ranger have?
The 1999 Ranger had an optional four-wheel-drive system and a limited-slip rear differential available. When servicing the rear differential, it is important to know its capacity and the type of fluid needed to prevent damage to the axle.
What kind of lubricant do you use on a 1998 Ford Ranger?
Refill the drive axle housing using the proper grade and quantity of lubricant. Install the filler plug, operate the vehicle and check for any leaks. The 1998 and newer Ford Ranger uses a different style front axle assembly than the 1983-1997 models.
How do you change the oil in a Ford Ranger?
Although some fluid can be removed using a suction gun, the best method is to remove the axle housing cover (if equipped) to ensure that all of any present contaminants are removed. As with any fluid change, the oil should be at normal operating temperature to assure the best flow and removal of fluid/contaminants. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Getting Started: Zoom OAuth Integration
Requesting the Required Scopes
You'll need to request a few scopes on your OAuth app in order to use this integration.
If you already have an existing OAuth app and you're already having your users grant OAuth permission on Zoom, you can request the scopes on that app.
Otherwise, if you've created Zoom SDK credentials to authenticate the bot, you can request the scopes on that app. You don't need to create a separate OAuth app, as the SDK app can also provide OAuth functionality.
Select the following scopes
1. From Meeting :meeting:read(required to sync meetings) and meeting_token:read:local_recording(required to generate local recording token)
2. From User: user:read(required for retrieving user's PMI) and user_zak:read
Registering your OAuth App Credentials with Recall
Once your app is created, click the "App Credentials" sidebar tab and note down the Client ID and Client Secret.
Next, click the "Feature" sidebar tab, and take note of the Secret Token value (ZOOM_APP_SECRET_TOKEN).
You'll provide this in the webhook_secret parameter in the next step.
Create the Zoom OAuth App in Recall
The next step is to create your Zoom OAuth App in Recall by calling the Create Zoom OAuth App endpoint.
⚠️
Keep the returned ID!
Store the id returned in the response somewhere easily accessible - you'll need this later.
This is your Recall Zoom OAuth App ID.
$ curl -X POST https://api.recall.ai/api/v2/zoom-oauth-apps/
-H 'Authorization: Token YOUR-RECALL-API-KEY'
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
-d '{
"kind": "user_level",
"client_id": {ZOOM_APP_CLIENT_ID},
"client_secret": {ZOOM_APP_CLIENT_SECRET},
"webhook_secret": {ZOOM_APP_SECRET_TOKEN}
}'

{
"id":"32721c6e-3acf-4511-851c-55772cfb34b7", // SAVE THIS FOR LATER!
"kind":"user_level",
"created_at":"2023-08-03T03:48:58.187545Z"
...
}
Configuring Webhooks
In order to automatically fetch tokens for a user's Zoom meetings, Recall needs a way to stay in sync with Zoom as new meetings are created.
To do this, we have to configure our Zoom app to send webhooks to a Recall endpoint - a webhook endpoint specific to the Zoom OAuth app you just created in the last step.
ℹ️
Important: Zoom OAuth integration and bot behavior
Configuring webhooks does not cause bots to automatically join Zoom meetings. It simply gives Recall the ability to automatically fetch join tokens for any bots that you choose to send to these meetings.
To actually create a bot and send it to a meeting, they still must be created through the Create Bot endpoint or via the Calendar Integration.
The following are instructions to configure webhooks:
1. Fill out the Event notification endpoint URLs
Build your webhook URL using your Recall Zoom OAuth App ID:
https://api.recall.ai/api/v2/zoom-oauth-apps/{RECALL_ZOOM_OAUTH_APP_ID}/webhook
Do this for both development and production - these should be the same.
If your server needs to receive these webhooks:
• Enter your own server's webhook endpoint in these fields
• Forward every Zoom webhook received to the Recall endpoint constructed above
• You must include the x-zm-request-timestamp and x-zm-signature headers.
• You must not modify the webhook body in any way
2. Click the 'Validate' button
This sends a test request to the URL to verify proper functioning.
If for some reason the validation fails:
• Check that your webhook URL is correct.
• Check that the webhook_secret you set while creating your Zoom OAuth App in Recall is correct.
3. Add the webhook events
Click the "Add Events" button. A modal will show up. Select the following webhooks and then click "Done".
• In Meeting select the "Meeting has been created" event.
• In User select the "User's profile info has been updated event. This is required to keep the personal meeting ID of the user in sync.
Recall vs customer managed OAuth
The next (and final) step is to implement the OAuth flow for your users in order to actually connect their Zoom accounts.
Once a user has gone through the flow, (has "OAuth-ed"), you can either manage access and refresh tokens on your end or have Recall manage these for you.
In general, we highly recommend using Recall-managed OAuth by default, unless:
• You already have an integration with the Zoom OAuth API.
• You need to call the Zoom API endpoints for other functionality in your app. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Amongst them I recognized Redpolls and Snow Buntings. During the afternoon a Short-eared Owl, Asio accipitrinus, lit on the rigging; then it flew several times round the ship, alighting with outspread wings on the water under the lee of the vessel, rested for a minute, and then rose again and flew off. This Owl is possessed of great powers of flight, and a passage from Greenland to the shores of the American continent must be a matter of small moment to it.
October 16th, 1684 miles from Portsmouth. Kittiwakes numerous around the ship, also Fulmars.
October 18th, 1088 miles from Cape Clear. A few Fulmars and some seven or eight Kittiwakes about the ship. Lieutenant Egerton, when on watch, saw a single Little Auk, the only one observed by us whilst crossing the Atlantic.
October 19th, 965 miles from Cape Clear; wind S. Kittiwakes numerous, the majority in immature plumage; a single Puffinus major following the ship.

Hello,
The below code doesn't work.
# include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int arr[] = { 12,14,15,23,45 };
for (size_t i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
printf("%d\t",*arr);
arr++;
}
return 0;
}
But the following code work.
I just saved arr in another variable.
Why the arr variable itself doesn't work?
We should be saved arr in another variable then we could use it.
# include <stdio.h>
int main()

arr++ is attempting to increment the array. You can't do that.
The fact that the name of an array can be used like a pointer
to access an array does not mean that the name of the array is
a pointer. It "decays" - is translated into by the compiler - a
pointer, in some contexts.
You appear to be struggling with the concepts of arrays and pointers, as
used in the C language (and inherited by C++). I strongly suggest that
you spend as much time as needed to study the available tutorials and
documentation on pointers and arrays, Otherwise you will be coming back
to these forums repeatedly asking why your code doesn't work as expected.

Tyne Valley, Prince Edward Island
Tyne Valley is a rural municipality in Prince Edward Island, Canada. It is located in Prince County. Incorporated in 1966, the community is located in the township of Lot 13 at the intersection of Routes 12 and 167.
History
In 1765, the Tyne Valley area was known as “The Landing”, as lumber floated up the Trout River from the shipyards at Bideford and Port Hill. The community was named Tyne Valley in 1868, after the River Tyne in England. At that time, the community's economy was bustling, with a blacksmith, cheese factory, tannery, tailor, carriage shop, plasterer, shoemaker, grist mills, and saw mills. This geographic area's shipbuilding history is commemorated in nearby Green Park Provincial Park, in which is found the homestead of the Yeo family. This, in addition to a local theatre group and an annual folk music festival contribute to keeping Tyne Valley's cultural life rich and vital.
The 831 telephone exchange is reputed to be the last in Canada to change to rotary style telephones from the traditional operator assisted dialing systems.
Demographics
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Tyne Valley had a population of $229$ living in $92$ of its $99$ total private dwellings, a change of NaN% from its 2016 population of $249$. With a land area of 1.94 km2, it had a population density of in 2021.
Economy
Agriculture is an important economic activity in and around Tyne Valley. The area has approximately 1.8% of the total number of farms in PEI and represents approximately 1.6% of the total provincial area. Total gross farm receipts in the area were about 1.7% of the provincial total. Municipal Tax Rates for Tyne Valley in 1998 are $0.45 per $100 of assessment for commercial properties and $0.35 for non-commercial properties. The annual sewer rates are $60.00.
Notable people
Some famous Islanders hailing from, or who have hailed from, the community include 'Dambuster' F/O Vincent Sanford MacCausland, former Premier Keith Milligan, former Dean of McGill Law, Percy Ellwood Corbett, Member of Parliament Joseph McGuire, Island visual artist Charlene Williams, historic shipbuilder James Yeo, and deceased folk artist Larry Gorman.
Notable buildings
One of the island's oldest Masonic lodges exists in the area outside the community known as Port Hill. It is called Alexandra #5, in honour of Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom.
There are two churches in Tyne Valley, United and Presbyterian. Adjacent Ellerslie has an Anglican church. The local fire station is referred to by the locals as The Pig and Whistle (or simply The Pig), after the television show of the same name. The sign currently depicts a comical pig wearing a fireman's uniform. The same building houses a bowling alley and other recreation facilities.
High school students in the area attend Westisle Composite High School along with all other communities in West Prince. | WIKI |
How to match dynamic named routes in Rails 3
Hi everyone,
I've been digging pretty deeply into the new routing capabilities in
Rails 3 and have been very impressed by what I've seen so far.
However, in my exploration I haven't been able to figure out one final
piece — it's a bit complicated to summarize, so here's a short example
of what I would like to do:
Let's say I've got a simple set of forums software, with a controller
named Forum. In the data model that Forum uses, there are a bunch of
topics with subtopics:
Foo
>--- Bar
>--- Baz
>--- Rick
>--- Astley
Although that's the way the structure looks today, there's nothing
that would prevent an admin from adding topics under "Bar" at a
moment's notice — so the main point is that the structure could
change.
I'd like to be able to write a routing rule such that I could match
"http://example.com/Foo/Baz/Rick" to a specific action in the Forum
controller and know the order of the parameters that were passed in.
In a perfect world, I'd really only like to forward the request on to
the Forum controller if the path is sensible. I have some feeling
that I might be able to do something creative with :constraints, but
I'm not quite sure if I can pass in an appropriate method or proc that
would have access to the necessary data to do that check.
Can anyone out there with some better insight point me in the right
direction?
-Jury
Well in Rails 2.x you could use something like this (from the rails
guide example):
map.connect 'photo/*other', :controller => 'photos', :action => 'unknown'
this would set params[:other] to an array of the path segments following photo.
I applied this thinking to Rails 3 routing, and added a route to a
version of the AWDWR depot app (I'm once again following that example
through the new beta version of the 4th edition). I put this at the
end.
match '*path' => 'products#forum'
I then added a forum action to the products controller which just
raises an exception so that I can see what the params are, and I get
this:
{"path"=>"products/forum/a/b/c"}
So instead of breaking it down to an array it just gives you the whole string.
Some caveats.
1) Although the existing routes still work since I put this at the end
of the routes, unless this is the only controller you have you might
want to 'anchor' such urls with a first path component (e.g. forum).
2) Whether or not the fact that a 'globbed' route produces a string
rather than an array, might or might not be a bug in Rails 3.0.0.beta3
so it might change before release 1. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
Talk:Adventureland (New York)

Original research, Futrell source that can't be found and excessive details
The general references section includes two problem items:
* Employees
* New York Amusement Park, by Jim Futrell
Employees are not published sources and instead indicate content is based on original research. Wikipedia content is a summary of what published sources say about a subject. Content based on employee recollections should be removed.
Jim Futrell does have a book titled "Amusement parks of New York" but "New York Amusement Park" does not seem to exist.
Listing every ride and game available at Adventureland plus the long list of former rides and attractions seems excessive. The article should mention individual items that have independent coverage. Listing everything looks promotional. Gab4gab (talk) 15:49, 6 March 2022 (UTC)

Former name of Adventureland
While looking for information concerning the former name of Adventureland I was surprised to see that there was no mention of what I clearly remember it to be between the mid 1960s into the mid 1970s. I could still see the sign right at the foot of Route 110 in my mind today and it clearly was called Adventurer's Inn with the image of a young boy who very closely resembled Peter Pan on the sign next to the name. I was surprised that I hadn't seen any mention about that name even when they talked about the former name which included the words Route 110 but clearly nothing about what I remember it being called.

Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company v. Ohio Valley Tie Company/Opinion of the Court
This is a suit brought by the defendant in error in 1911 against the railroad company to recover for injury to business and other damages alleged to have been caused by the railroad's acts. The most important feature at this stage is that the railroad maintained and collected a higher rate for crossties than it did for lumber when they were carried between states, although the State Commission required the same rate upon both for carriage within the state, and although, as the railroad knew, the Interstate Commerce Commission repeatedly had decided that the rates for crossties and lumber should be the same. It is alleged that these and the other acts complained of were done for the purpose of getting rid of the plaintiff as a competitive buyer, and, in that sense, maliciously. The plaintiff tried to meet the higher rate by directing delivery within the state of ties intended to go beyond, which attempt the defendant encountered by refusal to carry them except on its interstate tariff, and hampered the plaintiff by declining to let its cars leave its road, by deliveries at points requiring a haul by wagon, and so forth; and, in short, it may be assumed that the railroad did other acts to further the alleged end, not necessary to be stated here.
Shortly before bringing this suit the plaintiff complained to the Interstate Commerce Commission in respect of charges collected upon ninety-one carloads of ties, and in 1912 obtained an order that the railroad pay to it $6,198 as reparation for unreasonable rates, and establish a rate for ties not to exceed its contemporaneous one for lumber of the same kind of wood. This order was pleaded by an amendment to the petition, and it appeared at the trial that the sum awarded had been paid. As the damage alleged was attributed mainly to the publication and exaction of excessive charges, the defendant insisted at the trial and before the court of appeals upon its rights under the Act to Regulate Commerce, and those rights were passed upon by the court, so that there is no doubt of the jurisdiction here, although some questions were raised that we think it unnecessary to discuss.
The defendant contended and asked for a ruling that in this action no damages could be allowed 'on account of defendant's having charged to and collected from plaintiff unreasonable rates of freight for the carriage of interstate shipments of crossties' and other rulings to similar effect. It also asked an instruction that, under the Act to Regulate Commerce, it was required to collect the rates fixed by its tariff on file and in effect. These requests were refused, and the jury were told that if they believed that the rates found by the Interstate Commerce Commission to be unreasonable were wilfully and maliciously maintained with intent to injure the plaintiff's business, and that the defendant knew them to be unreasonable, and that by its acts it tied up a part of the plaintiff's capital, and so damaged the plaintiff's business, then upon this, as well as on several other possible findings stated, they would find for the plaintiff. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for certain itemized expenses and for $50,000 damage to plaintiff's business and credit, as mentioned in the above instruction. Judgment on the verdict was affirmed by the court of appeals. 161 Ky. 212, 170 S. W. 633.
The court of appeals decided that the Act to Regulate Commerce committed to the Interstate Commerce Commission only the granting of special relief against the making of an overcharge, and that the satisfaction of the Commission's award still left open an action in the state courts to recover what are termed general damages,-such as are supposed to have been recovered in this case. In this we are of opinion that the court was wrong.
By § 8 a common carrier violating the commands of the act is made liable to the person injured thereby 'for the full amount of damages sustained in consequence' of the violation. [24 Stat. at L. 382, chap. 104, Comp. Stat. 1913, § 8572.] By § 9 any person so injured may make complaint to the Commission or may sue in a court of the United States to recover the damages for which the carrier is liable under the act, but must elect in each case which of the two methods of procedure he will adopt. The rule of damages in one hardly can be different from that proper for the other. An award directing the carrier to pay to the complainant the sum to which he is entitled is provided for by § 16. By the same section, if the carrier dose not comply in due time with the order, the complainant may sue in a state court,-which implies that if the order has been complied with and the money paid no suit can be maintained. It is to be noticed further that reparation before answer is contemplated as possible by § 13, and in that case the carrier shall be relieved of liability to the complainant, though only, of course, for the particular violation of law. The decisions say that whatever the damages were, they could be recovered (Pennsylvania R. Co. v. International Coal Min. Co. 230 U.S. 184, 202, 203, 57 L. ed. 1446, 1453, 1454, 33 Sup. Ct. Rep. 893, Ann. Cas. 1915A, 315; Meeker v. Lehigh Valley R. Co. 236 U.S. 412, 429, 59 L. ed. 644, 657, P.U.R.1915D, 1072, 35 Sup. Ct. Rep. 328, Ann. Cas. 1916B, 691); and that the statute determines the extent of damages (Pennsylvania R. Co. v. Clark Bros. Coal Min. Co. 238 U.S. 456, 472, 59 L. ed. 1406, 1413, 35 Sup. Ct. Rep. 896). We are of opinion that all damage that properly can be attributed to an overcharge, whether it be the keeping of the plaintiff out of its money, dwelt upon by the trial court, or the damage to its business following as a remoter result of the same cause, must be taken to have been considered in the award of the Commission and compensated when that award was paid.
If, at a new trial, the plaintiff can prove that the defendant unjustifiably refused cars or caused it other damage not attributable to the overcharge of freight, our decision does not prevent a recovery; but it is evident that the present judgment embraces elements that cannot be allowed.
Judgment reversed. | WIKI |

For Keeps (bookstore)
For Keeps (stylized as For Keeps!) is a bookstore in Atlanta, Georgia, that specializes in Black classic and rare books. The shop opened in 2018 and is owned and operated by Rosa Duffy.
History
Rosa Duffy was inspired to open the bookstore after reading her father's collection of the Black 1960s periodical SoulBook. Her interest in Black literature was nurtured by her parents, graduates of Spelman College and Morehouse College. Duffy began collecting Black classic books at age 18 and planned to open the store after her personal book collection began to grow too large.
For Keeps opened in November 2018 in the historically Black Sweet Auburn neighborhood of Atlanta. The location was selected because the area was under threat of gentrification and Duffy wished to contribute to the neighborhood's Black identity. Duffy found many books in the For Keeps collection at stores such as Strand Bookstore.
Founder
Rosa Duffy (born 1989) was born and raised in Atlanta. Her father, Eugene Duffy, has worked with several of the city's Black mayors. Her sister, Josie Duffy Rice, is a journalist. She attended The New School for her bachelor's degree.
Inventory
For Keeps carries used and new books, although some of the books cannot be purchased and must be read in-store. The rare book collection includes some first edition and out-of-print titles by authors like Alice Walker, Ralph Ellison, and Octavia Butler. The store also has a reading room.
Events are held at the store periodically. | WIKI |

Muslim Scholar from the Medieval period
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen
I am looking for a Muslim Scholar from the Medieval period, who travelled Europe during the medieval period. I did read his writings during my high school time, but I forgot his name. I do remember that he was appalled by the loose sexual morality he encountered in Europe, specifically about a knight who found his wife cheating him with another man in his bed and the knight challenged her lover to a duel (jousting, if I remember correctly).--2A02:120B:C3CC:FC50:9D70:B236:49A:EE60 (talk) 13:46, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
* Perhaps Muhammad al-Idrisi, Ibn Jubayr or, less likely, Ibn Hawqal, Ahmad ibn Rustah or Ahmad ibn Fadlan? At any rate they're all medieval Muslims who travelled in Europe and wrote about it. --Antiquary (talk) 14:36, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
* That sounds like a story from Usama ibn Munqidh about crusader knights in the Near East (he never went to Europe, but Europe came to him). Adam Bishop (talk) 10:25, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
* Here's what I was thinking of (Usama ibn Muniqidh, The Book of Contemplation, trans. Paul Cobb): "...There was a house belonging to a Frankish man who sold wine for the merchants...So one day, he came back home and discovered a man in bed with his wife. The Frank said to the man, 'What business brings you here to my wife?' 'I got tired,' the man replied, 'so I came in to rest.' 'But how did you get into my bed?' asked the Frank. 'I found a bed that was all made up, so I went to sleep in it,' he replied. 'While my wife was sleeping there with you?' the Frank pursued. 'Well, it's her bed,' the man offered. 'Who am I to keep her out of it?' 'By the truth of my religion,' the Frank said, 'if you do this again, we'll have an argument, you and I!'
* Usama is clearly just making fun of these weirdo crusaders and their crazy customs (the next story is about crusaders discovering the amazing practise of shaving their pubic hair), so it's like a medieval ethnic joke. Nobody ends up duelling here though, so maybe it's not what you're referring to. Adam Bishop (talk) 10:56, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
Thank you for your answers. Usama ibn Muniqidh sounds interesting, but this is definitely not the story I read.--2A02:120B:C3CC:FC50:C013:E0C6:9C92:77A1 (talk) 18:02, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
Catalog of lost books
Is there a catalogue available which lists all the lost works from antiquity?--2A02:120B:C3CC:FC50:9D70:B236:49A:EE60 (talk) 13:49, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
* No, not all, because the index of Library of Alexandria said to possess nearly half a million scrolls, Callimachus' Pinakes, was lost with the rest of the library. DroneB (talk) 14:34, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
* Though half a million scrolls is probably a gross overestimate. And Pinakes was a list of prominent men and their works, not necessarily works possessed by the library. - Nunh-huh 06:44, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
* On the face of it there seems no reason why there shouldn't be a complete list of all those lost classical works of which we have the title or some description – there is such a thing for lost Old and Middle English literature – but I haven't been able to find one. Scope for a Wikipedia article perhaps? --Antiquary (talk) 09:51, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
* And belatedly I discover that we have one, albeit far from complete. --Antiquary (talk) 10:08, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
Number of audio CD titles in print
Hi, I'm striking out on determining how many audio CD titles are currently in print (for sale new). Trying to put in perspective guitarist friend's excitement on pre-release sales ranking of 1,332 of Here We Go Love by The English Beat. Didn't find answer in quick skim of compact disk - perhaps a reliable source could be used to add this factoid to article. Thanks! -- Paulscrawl (talk) 16:21, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
* Asking for "music CD" on Amazon, it says "over 4,000,000 results". Of course, many CDs will create multiple results there. -Arch dude (talk) 18:39, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
* Thanks . I'm really looking for the audio music equivalent of Bowker's Books in Print for a citable reliable source. Appreciate your efforts. -- Paulscrawl (talk) 04:38, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
* Paulscrawl -- audio recordings never adopted the equivalent of ISBN, which makes a central registry more difficult. However, several times in early 1980s record stores, I saw a large and frequently-updated volume of the LPs/cassettes that were available to be ordered through major record companies and distributors. I have no idea what it was called, or if it still exists in any form today... AnonMoos (talk) 15:04, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
* I bet that the record-store reference was Phonolog, which no longer exists as such. That article suggests that the successor to Phonolog is Muze, but as I pursue the Muze links, it's not clear whether their products are readily available to the general public. Herbivore (talk) 13:03, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
* Thank you,, I browsed the site and conclude Muze is a commercial metadata offering for music audio vendors. It referenced using International Standard Recording Codes, a track-level ID burnt into compliant audio CDs that competes with other non-standard standards like MusicBrainzID, WannabeAmazonID, etc. Reminds me of how standards proliferate ;-) -- Paulscrawl (talk) 19:36, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
* I'm a more familiar with books than cds, but at least with books, you can't infer anything about a book's overall popularity with its momentary sales rank, which is computed multiple times a day. Amazon has millions of titles in stock, most of which sell zero copies on an average day. If on a particular day they sell 5 copies of some title (maybe because a review appeared somewhere), that small number of sales might be enough to put the book in the top 1000 for that day. But of course it will be back down in the dregs the next day. I expect it's similar with cds. I remember reading someplace some years back that around 30K new CD titles were released annually, if that figure is of any help. It's probably lower now since streaming has supplanted (some) cd sales. I wouldn't put the sales figure into the article. I edited out a session ID (privacy leak) and some other unneeded parameters from your amazon link. I don't think you were trying to spam us, but a few of us probably feel a little bit triggered anyway. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 18:56, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
* Thank you, : what a strange industry with no equivalent of ISBN. Seems my question is unanswerable.
* And, thank you for providing annual releases perspective and a helpful edit to my malformed Amazon link. It certainly was not posted as spam, but meant solely to provide access to where the number came from, as an aid to respondents. The query came from a friend who played guitar on a couple of sessions and I was attempting to dampen his expectations for significant royalties. Any impression of possible spam intent, while understandable, is belied by a glance at my spotless history here. Thanks for pointing it out. I have deleted the link.
* As indicated in original query, I had no intention of touching the article on the band or its release with a trivial sales ranking, but was referring to the # of CD audio titles for sale overall, information still unanswered (unanswerable?) in our compact disk article.
* WikiData or MusicBrainz may help. Latter is CC0 and so incorporated in WikiData. If a for sale status field is available, a query might answer question. -- Paulscrawl (talk) 23:31, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Slave prostitution in pre-Civil-War America?
I've read that in slave-holding US states, owners legally had sexual access to their slaves. To what extent was this right transferable for compensation? In other words, what restrictions if any would have prevented a slave owner from prostituting his slaves? Neon Merlin 20:02, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
* Slavery in the United States states (but with no source), "The sexual use of black slaves by white gentlemen men, either slave owners or those who could purchase the temporary services of a slave, took various forms." I remember reading somewhere they had a term for the Southern "hospitality" practice of a slave owner providing his guests with sexual access to his slaves - "nutmegging". Clarityfiend (talk) 00:12, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
* On the other hand, I am not sure that the economics of prostitution works in a slave based society. There is not much money in it for the slave owner (why would a potential customer pay to use your prostituted slave, when he can buy a slave of his own and use her whenever he wants?) Blueboar (talk) 00:49, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
* The age-old dilemma: Rent or buy? I would have thought that religious folks would have frowned on it, but according to History of prostitution, it wasn't widely made illegal in America until well after slavery was ended. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:54, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
* , please ignore 's unwarranted and unwelcome speculation and 's renewed and chronic disruptions to this Reference Desk.
* Sorry that you found my comment unwarranted and unwelcome. The intent was to give a serious answer to a serious question. Blueboar (talk) 11:27, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
* History of sexual slavery in the United States references one reliable source, which I've just updated, as the article is readily available via JSTOR and thus to dedicated Wikipedia editors like you, I hope, via a simple request at WP:RX. Copy and paste your request for knowledge there and summarize and cite to expand ours here.

They are having a hard time (not giving you a hard time). Decisions must be made, not just regarding what to do RIGHT NOW, but in the future, in case this happens again. Which, without the proper supports in place, the crisis event is extremely almost certainly to happen again.
Seeing an urgent situation by this lens takes the responsibility off the individual obtaining the crisis, and you can onto the aids in place (otherwise use up all your thereof). Whenever an urgent situation experiences happens, ask yourself such concerns:
It is personalized and you will active de-escalation tools should be knew because means by which a keen individual in the an urgent situation condition is also identify he or she is addressing an effective drama state, get a hold of a great de-escalation method, incorporate the process, and finally check how well the process did after they is peaceful once again.
With regards to the form, availability of assistance assist, additionally the comprehension of de-escalation (otherwise use up all your thereof), this “back to natural” techniques takes times, days, months, otherwise of individuals, an excellent caregiver or support people, or occurs alone.
I do not see your work mode, the fresh new communities you serve, otherwise your work name, but if you try reading this article article I need to imagine you have either knowledgeable an emergency knowledge with a consumer/student/an such like. or want to be equipped if it will be occurs.
Here I want to point out a very common misconception, which is often somewhat unsafe when individuals believe it: In the field of ABA, website subscribers exactly who showcase (otherwise features a reputation exhibiting) highly unlawful otherwise dangerous situation behaviors can be classified because appearing “severe choices”. It’s a myth you to definitely just big conclusion customers can have crisis events. That’s not correct anyway. Subscribers having non-violent otherwise less disruptive situation behaviors, under the right gang of joint products, could have a behavioural drama. Eg, let’s say their home techniques is significantly disturbed, he or she is unwell, referring to a positive change out-of medication, and now have has just already been adolescence? These function situations whenever combined, might trigger an urgent situation feel. Ergo, what is very important for benefits and you will practitioners to be properly trained and you may furnished getting crisis standards, much prior to he’s called for.
Now I want to cam specifically so you can ABA implementers (RBT’s, paraprofessionals, etc.) who do work physically with readers: When you’re coping with website subscribers your local area on a regular basis answering so you’re able to crisis occurrences or handling customers with a known history regarding drama occurrences, you need to be after the formula of one’s bodily government knowledge your acquired. If you have maybe not gotten any bodily management education, then chances are you really should not be coping with those individuals website subscribers. It is risky for your requirements, and risky to them.
If this will not occur anyway, one to generally results in emergency room visits or admittance to the an enthusiastic inpatient facility
Again, drama occurrences may potentially takes place anytime, having one visitors/student/etcetera. It might be unwise to trust “Oh I really don’t focus on really serious choices people, which means this will not apply at myself”. For your folks (handicapped or otherwise not, mental health circumstances or not) the proper gang of affairs could trigger a crisis experience.
If perhaps you were in the middle of an emergency skills, that would need helping you? Some one answering to your impulse otherwise instinct, or somebody who has come very carefully and you may properly trained to the safe de-escalation sites web de rencontrer divorcés?
If you are not regarding the position to put coverage or favor personnel courses, you could potentially nevertheless consult extra studies from your employer and you may posting them recommendations from evidence-built techniques.

Tire mileage
Tire mileage
Factors influencing tire mileage
The long-term mileage performance of your tires depends on many factors. We explain what they are, and what you can do to prolong the life of your tires.
Low to medium impact on tire mileage
There are two factors that have a low- to medium-term impact on tire mileage – tire width and overinflation.
Tire width: Wider tires have a bigger contact patch with the road. This translates into lower ground pressure, which reduces tire wear and increases the life of your tires. However, the handling behavior of the tire is also improved, so if you drive the car in a sporty or aggressive style, there will be some impact on tire mileage.
If you avoid driving or turning corners too aggressively, or accelerating and decelerating too rapidly, then you can expect higher mileage from your tires.
Overinflation: If the inflation pressure is too high for the load of the vehicle, the ground pressure will increase around the center of the tire’s contact patch, therefore increasing wear on this part of the tire.
The best practice is to check your tire pressure every two to four weeks, and to follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations for part and full loads when inflating your tires.
Medium impact on tire mileage
The mid-level factors that affect tire mileage are more diverse, but these tips for preventative maintenance can mitigate their impact.
Driven axle: Tire wear will be higher on the driven axle of the car than on the free-rolling axle. In the case of a rear-wheel drive vehicle, there is a more balanced wear relationship between tires on the front and rear axles. With a front-wheel drive vehicle, the wear to the front tires is increased by the steering forces exerted on the front axle.
The best technique to prolong the life of your tires in this instance is tire rotation, done at regular intervals through the year, i.e. when switching from summer tires to winter tires.
• For cars which are rear-wheel or four-wheel drive, rotate the tires from the rear axles to the front, and move the front tires to the opposite sides of the rear axle.
• For front-wheel drive vehicles, move the tires from the front axles to the same position at the rear, and the rear tires are moved diagonally to the opposite sides of the forward axle.
• The x-pattern is another possibility for cars with front-wheel drive, where all tires are moved diagonally to a different axle and a different position.
Please note that tire rotation patterns are more limited for tires with a directional patten; they can only be switched from the the same positions on the front to rear axles, and vice versa – not from side-to-side.
Road surface: While driving a vehicle normally, the influence of the road surface is relatively minor. However, a rough and abrasive road surface can significantly reduce the service life of your tires if you are also driving the car aggressively.
Our advice here is to avoid poorly maintained roads where possible, or not to go off road too often without the appropriate tires. If rough-surfaced roads are a regular part of your journeys, then consider fitting dedicated all-terrain tires instead.
Ambient temperature: The chemical and physical properties of summer and winter tires are optimized for specific operating temperatures. At temperatures below 45˚F, summer tires will wear more quickly. At temperatures above 45˚F, winter tires will wear more quickly.
The critical point is to fit tires that are appropriate to the season. It isn’t just a factor to prolong the life of your tires; it will maintain the performance and safety characteristics of your car all year round.
High impact on tire mileage
Now we come to the most significant factors that affect tire mileage, and here too the driver can make a difference.
Tread compound: When developing tires, there are target conflicts between wet grip, wear, and rolling resistance, which means that one property is sometimes strengthened at the expense of another (although modern premium tires are made with sophisticated silica tread compounds that help to mitigate the usual trade-off between wear and wet grip).
When shopping around for a new set of tires, it helps to research the particular strengths of the tire compound design. That way, it won’t come as a surprise when the tires show signs of wear sooner than you might previously have thought.
Driving style: Fast and sporty driving is a significant factor in the lifespan of your tires. Strong acceleration and braking – plus fast cornering speeds – increases tire wear significantly.
So long as you stay within the road safety laws, we won’t lecture you about your driving style. But if you were to drive that little bit slower or accelerate with a little less power, it would go a long way toward extending the service life of your tires.
Pressure and load: If the inflation pressure of the tire is too low for the load of the vehicle, slip can occur in the contact patch between the tire shoulder and the center. This increased slip leads to higher wear and a reduction in the lifespan of the tire.
There will inevitably be trips to the hardware store or vacation road trips where the car has to carry a full load, but at all other times, don’t keep anything more than necessary in the trunk of the car. Try to keep the weight off, and adjust the tire pressure between normal load and full load as required. Maintaining the recommended tire pressure is also a factor in better fuel economy.
Suspension geometry: Badly adjusted steering and suspension geometry has a huge impact on the lifespan of your tires and can typically be identifiable as irregular wear on the tire shoulder.
If you suspect that there is a problem with either the steering or suspension, especially after an unexpected jolt like potholes in the road or bumping into a kerb, you should visit your local garage for an inspection.
Engine power: Cars with higher power and higher torque can reduce their tire mileage over time – but this also depends on how the driver leverages the capabilities of the vehicle.
For cars with higher torque, the best option is going to be an ultra-high performance (UHP) tire, which is specially engineered to match the capabilities of an ultra-high performance car.

Sync Amazon Videos/Movies to iTunes for iPhone 5S/5C, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPod 5...
Amazon Store offers instant streaming on the Kindle Fire, as well as PC, Mac, Roku, and hundreds of TVs and Blu-ray players. All of your videos are stored in Your Video Library, so you can access them anywhere you go. Good news is that Amazon Instant Video is now playing on your iPad. Videos you've purchased or rented are already available on your iPad. However, you can not transfer Amazon Videos to iTunes for synchronizing with more iOS devices like iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPod 5, etc. The problem is that video files purchased from Amazon Instant Video are usually DRM-protected WMV (Windows Media Video) files. To sync Aamzon videos to iTunes, you may have to fix two things:
1. Since DRM limited your use on iTunes, so you'll need to strip DRM from Amazon Videos so as to play them on more non-authorized devices.
2. WMV is a not an iTunes-supported format. You'll need to convert it to either .mov, .mp4, or .m4v that is supported by iTunes.
Sync Amazon Movie to iTunes
As you see, the DRM-protected Amazon movies are not eligible for transfer or playback, but but that's expected from a non-official solution along with some help from third-party softwares. To achieve your goal smoothly, below is simple tutorial for you, guaranteed to transfer Amazon Instant Videos to iTunes for playback smoothly.
How to Get Rid of DRM restriction and Convert Amazon WMV videos to iTunes friendly format?
The quick workaround is to use the easy-to-use yet intuitive ChewTune app(or ChewTube for Mac) which lets you quickly remove DRM protection and convert Amazon Videos to iTunes-compatible formats – as well as AVI, MKV, FLV, etc. Just download it and follow the step-by-step guide to upload Amazon Videos to iTunes.
Note: Before the process, please make sure you have the Amazon Instant videos downloaded onto your computer before importing. If you don't know the detailed process of purchasing and downloading Amazon Instant Videos, please refer to how to get Amazon Videos downloaded with Amazon Unbox Player.
Step 1. Add Amazon video files to ChewTune.
After downloading, install and launch the DRM Removal Converter, then click "Add" button to import Amazon DRM WMV video files to the program. You can add multiple files at a time thanks to the batch conversion.

Step 2. Select iTunes friendly format.
You can select M4V, MP4, or MOV from "Common Video" as output format for iTunes or directly go to "iPod, iPhone, Apple TV, iPad" to get the optimized videos for playback on a certain Apple device. You can click "Settings" button to customize size, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, and audio channel to your required ones.

Step 3. Start the Amazon Videos to iTunes conversion.
When all the settings are OK, hit the "Start" button on the main interface to start removing DRM from Amazon and converting Amazon movie to iTunes.
When the conversion completes, you can add the files to your iTunes and sync the videos to your iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPod 5, iPad 4, iPad 3, Apple TV 3, etc. and just enjoy the movies on the go!

How much blood do we lose on our periods?
Every month we have our periods, bringing a tide of blood lasting roughly a week, but the amount of blood we lose may vary from person to person.

How Much Blood Do We Lose on Our Periods?
During our fertile years, our bodies are destined to constantly ride the merry-go-round known as the menstrual cycle. This cycle prepares our bodies for pregnancy by thickening the endometrium and bringing an egg to maturity, ready for fertilisation.
Discover our latest podcast
The endometrium is packed full of blood cells to nurture the fertilised egg. However, if pregnancy doesn’t occur, the endometrium sheds, rupturing the blood cells, causing 3-5 days of bleeding known as a period.
It’s not just blood in our period through; your menstrual fluid is also made up of endometrial tissue, mucus and blood clots, all of which can change the volume and consistency of your monthly.
How much blood do we typically lose on our periods?
The average person will have around 500 periods in their lifetime and lose roughly 30-40 millilitres (two-three tablespoons) each cycle. However, the span of what is considered a normal amount of period blood is vast. Some studies even suggest that up to 60 millilitres of menstrual blood (four tablespoons) is acceptable.
The amount of blood a person loses each period can often change from month to month and can be much lighter or heavier depending on several factors.
How to measure your period blood
You may not need to measure your period blood to tell if your flow is lighter or heavier than usual; however, if you’re curious, hygiene products can help you estimate how much blood you lose each month.
The easiest way to measure your period bloodis by using a menstrual cup. Some cups even contain markings for more straightforward measurement and can hold between 30-60 millilitres at a time. All you need to do is take note of how much blood is in your menstrual cup each time you empty it. Then, add up these numbers to find your total blood loss. Continue logging your period blood over three or four cycles; this should provide you with an idea of how much blood you lose on an average cycle.
Tampons, pads and period panties make it a little harder to measure your period blood. The first thing to do is take into account the product’s maximum capacity. For example, regular tampons can hold 5 millilitres of fluid. If you lose around 60 millilitres of blood, you will go through about 6-12 tampons, depending on the size used.
To measure your period blood with tampons, pads and period panties, take into account:
• The capacity of the product
• How often you change it
• How full it is when you change it
Again, tracking this over 3-4 cycles will help to determine your average blood loss.
What if you have a heavy flow?
Some people have a naturally heavier flow meaning they lose a larger amount of blood. However, a heavy flow can also be a sign of an underlying condition or a side effect of medication.
Heavy flows can be caused by:
• Interuterine devices (IUDs)
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome
• Endometriosis
• Pelvic inflammatory disease
• Uterine fibroids
• Polyps
• Adenomyosis
• Hypothyroidism
• Bleeding disorders
• Certain medications
What if you have a lighter flow?
Lighter periods than normal are not always a cause for concern. A light flow is usually characterised by minor bleeding, a shorter duration of period or light bleeding or spotting that is consistent throughout the period. A lighter period may also come with fewer PMS symptoms such as back pain, cramping and mood swings.
Lighter flows can be caused by a number of factors such as:
• Excessive exercise
• Age
• Being underweight
• Stress
• Medical conditions
• Pregnancy
• A lack of ovulation
• A side effect of birth control or other medications
When to see a doctor
While changes in blood loss are not usually worrying, if you notice that your period becomes consistently light or heavy or you miss your periods altogether, then a doctor’s consult will be required to diagnose the cause.
Tracking your menstrual cycle via an app can help you log the start and end of your periods and enable you to keep track of any symptoms. This will ultimately help a doctor to diagnose and treat any issues you may have.

Can Headphones Cause Ear Bleeding: 10 Solutions
Headphones provide an exceptional listening experience and have become a necessary part of our daily lives. Whether commuting, working out, or simply trying to relax, headphones allow us to tune into our world without interruption.
But can headphones cause ear bleeding? It is possible for headphones to cause ear bleeding, though it is pretty rare. If you experience pain or discomfort in your ears while using headphones, it is important to stop using them immediately.
Ear bleeding is a condition that can be caused by several factors, including trauma, infection, and neoplasms. In some cases, headphone use may also be to blame.
This article will explore the potential link between headphones and ear bleeding and what you can do to prevent it from happening.
Can Headphones Cause Ear Bleeding
What Causes Ear Bleeding?
Several different things can cause ear bleeding. These include:
1. Infection:
An infection in the ear can also cause bleeding. This is because the infection can cause the blood vessels in the ear to become inflamed. This can lead to the vessels breaking, which then causes bleeding. If you have an infection, you may also experience other symptoms, such as pain, fever, and discharge from the ear.
2. Trauma:
Trauma to the ear can also cause bleeding. This includes physical trauma, such as a blow to the head, and acoustic trauma, which damages the ear from loud noise. Acoustic trauma is a particular concern if you frequently listen to music loudly through headphones.
3. Neoplasms:
Neoplasms are growths in the body that can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Both types can cause ear bleeding if they grow in or near the ear.
Can Headphones Cause Ear Bleeding?
Yes, headphones can cause ear bleeding, but it is not common. The main reason why headphones could cause ear bleeding is that they can put pressure on the blood vessels in your ear.
This increased pressure can lead to the blood vessels rupturing and causing bleeding.
The vast majority of headphones are not going to cause ear bleeding. However, there are some situations where they could be a contributing factor.
For example, if you wear headphones that are too tight, they may put too much pressure on the blood vessels in your ear. This is more likely to occur with over-ear headphones than earbuds, but it is still possible.
It’s also worth noting that headphones that go into your ear canal can also increase the risk of ear bleeding. This is because they can directly impact the blood vessels in your ear.
How Can Headphones Cause Ear Bleeding?
There are a few ways that headphones can cause ear bleeding.
1. Damaging the ear canal:
Wearing headphones that go into your ear canal can damage the delicate tissues in this area. This damage can then lead to bleeding.
2. Putting pressure on the blood vessels:
As mentioned above, wearing headphones that are too tight can pressure the blood vessels in your ear. This increased pressure can then cause the vessels to rupture and bleed.
3. Buildup of earwax:
If you wear headphones that go into your ear canal, they can also push earwax further into your ear. This can then lead to a buildup of earwax, which can put pressure on the blood vessels in your ear and cause them to bleed.
4. Acoustic trauma:
Acoustic trauma is damage to the ear from loud noise. This can occur if you listen to music loudly through headphones regularly. The loud noise can damage the blood vessels in your ear, leading to bleeding.
Why Would Your Ears Bleed When Using Headphones?
If you experience ear bleeding while using headphones, it’s essential to see a doctor as soon as possible. This is particularly true if the bleeding is severe or if you have any other symptoms.
There are a few different things that could be causing the bleeding. These include:
1. Wearing headphones that are too tight:
Tight headphones can cause pressure on the eardrum, leading to bleeding. Because the eardrum is a delicate structure, even a tiny amount of stress can cause it to rupture. If you frequently wear tight headphones, it’s essential to be aware of this potential risk.
2. Volume is too loud:
If the volume on your headphones is turned up too loud, it can damage the blood vessels in your ears. This can lead to bleeding and other symptoms like tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and hearing loss. If you use headphones regularly, it’s important to know how loud it is.
3. The frequencies are too high:
Some headphones emit frequencies that are too high for the human ear. These high-frequency sounds can damage the blood vessels in your ears, leading to bleeding. If you use headphones regularly, it’s important to be aware of this potential risk.
4. Wearing headphones for too long:
If you wear headphones for extended periods, it can put pressure on the blood vessels in your ears. This pressure can eventually lead to bleeding. This potential risk should be considered if you regularly use headphones.
5. Using headphones while sleeping:
If you use headphones while you sleep, it can pressure the blood vessels in your ears. This pressure can eventually lead to bleeding. If you use headphones regularly, it’s important to be aware of this potential risk.
6. Other medical conditions:
Many other medical conditions can cause ear bleeding. These include trauma, infection, and neoplasms (tumors). If you experience ear bleeding, it’s important to see a doctor to rule out other potential causes.
How Do You Know If You’re Damaging Your Ears?
You might not realize it, but it’s possible to damage your ears by using headphones too often or at a high volume. This is especially true if you already have a condition that makes your ear vulnerable to bleeding, such as an infection or trauma.
Symptoms of headphone-related ear damage can include:
1. Ear pain: This is often the first sign that something is wrong. If you’re using headphones and start to feel pain in your ears, it’s important to stop using them immediately and see a doctor.
2. Tinnitus (ringing in the ears): This is a ringing or buzzing sound in the ear that can be caused by damage to the ear. If you start to notice tinnitus after using headphones, it’s important to see a doctor right away.
3. Vertigo (dizziness): This is a feeling of instability or dizziness caused by inner ear damage. If you start to feel vertigo after using headphones, it’s important to see a doctor.
4. Temporary hearing loss: This is a hearing loss that is usually temporary and caused by exposure to loud noise. If you start to experience temporary hearing loss after using headphones, it’s essential to see a doctor.
If you experience any of these symptoms after using headphones, it’s important to see a doctor as soon as possible. Left untreated, headphone-related ear damage can lead to permanent hearing loss.
How Can Prevent Ear Bleeding From Headphones?
There are a few things you can do to help prevent ear bleeding from headphones:
1. Use headphones that fit snugly and don’t put pressure on your ears:
If you have to wear headphones, make sure they fit snugly and don’t pressure your ears. This will help reduce the risk of ear damage.
2. Use headphones at a moderate volume:
It’s important to use headphones at a moderate volume to reduce the risk of ear damage. If you start to experience pain, ringing, or dizziness, it’s important to stop using them immediately and see a doctor.
3. Take breaks from using headphones:
If you use headphones regularly, it’s important to take breaks from them to give your ears a chance to rest. Try to limit your headphone use to two hours per day.
4. Clean your headphones regularly:
It’s important to clean your headphones regularly to prevent the buildup of earwax and dirt. This can help reduce the risk of infection and keep your headphones working correctly.
5. Don’t use cotton swabs:
Cotton swabs can cause more earwax to build up. If you need to clean your ears, it’s best to do so with a soft cloth or an ear irrigator.
6. Avoid using headphones if you have an ear infection:
If you have an ear infection, it’s best to avoid using headphones altogether. This can help prevent the spread of the infection.
7. Use caution with noise-canceling headphones:
Noise-canceling headphones can make sounds louder, putting more stress on your ears. If you use these headphones, it’s important to keep the volume at a moderate level.
8. Don’t use headphones if you have an ear injury:
If you have an ear injury, it’s best to avoid using headphones until the injury has healed. This can help prevent further damage to your ears.
9. See a doctor if you experience any symptoms:
If you experience any symptoms of headphone-related ear damage, it’s important to see a doctor as soon as possible. Left untreated, this type of damage can lead to permanent hearing loss.
10. Get your hearing checked regularly:
If you use headphones regularly, it’s important to check your hearing regularly. This can help you catch any problems early and prevent further damage to your ears.
Can Airpods Cause Ear Bleeding?
There are no scientific studies that have looked at whether or not AirPods can cause ear bleeding, but there are a few things to consider.
First, AirPods (and other in-ear headphones) fit snugly into your ear canal, which could put pressure on the delicate tissues inside. This pressure could potentially lead to trauma and subsequent bleeding.
Second, AirPods (and other in-ear headphones) can trap earwax and bacteria against the skin, leading to infection and bleeding.
Finally, if you have a pre-existing condition that causes thinning of the blood vessels in your ears (such as hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia), using AirPods could worsen the condition and cause ear bleeding.
Conclusion
Headphones can cause ear bleeding in some people, mainly if misused. If you experience any symptoms of headphone-related ear damage, it’s important to see a doctor as soon as possible.
The easiest way to prevent ear bleeding from headphones is to wear snugly fitting, pressure-free headphones, use them at a moderate volume, and take breaks from them.
If you have an ear infection or injury, it’s best to avoid using headphones altogether.

When using the Schema Registry, why do we still need old-reader compatibility checking?
My understanding is that when using the Schema Registry, consumers don’t need to be explicitly updated with a new schema (via a code/configuration change) because whenever they encounter an unknown schema ID in a message, they’ll pull that new schema from the registry.
Given that’s the case, why is it important to enforce old-reader compatibility (AKA forward compatibility)? It seems to me like there isn’t really such a thing as an old reader when using the Registry, since consumers automatically update themselves. Would you enforce old-reader compatibility just in case there are consumers that aren’t using the Schema Registry? Or is there something else I’m missing?
Keep in mind that compatibility checks happen on registering a new version of a schema, not when consuming. Compatibility checks provide assurance on the kinds of schema changes allowed, either incrementally (e.g., FORWARD) or compared to all prior versions (e.g., FORWARD_TRANSITIVE). Those compatibility guardrails imply the order in which you should update clients when a schema evolves.
In other words, the consumer code doesn’t directly care about compatibility (it doesn’t check and enforce). The consumer developer cares about compatibility because it tells them the kinds of schema changes that are allowed and the order in which to update producers / consumers when they do change the schema.

Thanks for your reply, dtroiano. I’m still not totally clear on this, though. You said, " The consumer developer cares about compatibility because it tells them the kinds of schema changes that are allowed and the order in which to update producers / consumers when they do change the schema." If my consumers are using the Schema Registry, I don’t have to do anything to update them, right? As soon as I update a producer the consumer will start receiving messages using a new schema and will automatically fetch that new schema from the registry. Why would I care that schema version 2.0 is incompatible with version 1.0 if my consumer will automatically update to 2.0 as soon as it receives a version 2.0 message?
Right
As a developer, you’d care about compatibility because your application code might depend on it. For example, let’s say you aren’t using any compatibility checking (compatibility type NONE). Version 1 of your Customer schema has an int field called birth_year. Your application expects this field and will break without it – maybe it’ll hit an exception, maybe it’ll continue to run without hitting an exception but it’ll manifest as a logic bug. Now imagine someone on the producer dev team side decides that birth_year was a bad choice and they want a less limited birth_date field instead. They update the schema with this change (successfully since there are no compatibility checks). Then they update the producer in production. The consuming app doesn’t get updated, maybe didn’t even know about the change, so it breaks in one of the ways mentioned.
Now, instead, introduce compatibility checking into the scenario. E.g., maybe you specify FORWARD compatibility. Then the person who tries to delete the birth_year field won’t be able to and they’ll have to reconsider, or discuss the problem with partner dev teams to solve it. Or, maybe you specify BACKWARD compatibility. Then the birth_year field deletion is allowed by Schema Registry, but as an org you all know that you must upgrade your consumers first because you don’t have any assurance that consuming apps will work if you were to update producers first. The first example with FORWARD compatibility is a “hard” assurance in that the new schema will fail to register, and the second example is a “softer” assurance in that it guides how developers should coordinate upgrades but it’s still up to people to abide. You don’t get any of these assurances with compatibility type NONE (or if you imagine Schema Registry compatibility checking weren’t a feature).
Does this help to clarify?

Yes, that example helped a lot! Thank you!
To put what you’re saying in my own words, FORWARD compatibility check isn’t necessarily about making deserialization safe. It’s about protecting the data contract between producing and consuming applications.
Yes that’s a great way of putting it

Biden, Poroshenko discuss need for reforms in Ukraine: White House
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko discussed the need for governance reforms in Ukraine during a phone call on Thursday, the White House said. The call came a day after Poroshenko told the International Monetary Fund he was committed to the reforms to keep Kiev’s $17.5 billion IMF bailout on track. “The vice president urged the governing coalition to quickly establish unity to allow Ukraine to move forward with reforms, in line with the commitments in its IMF program,” the White House said in a statement. The two leaders also expressed “serious concern about the worsening security situation in eastern Ukraine,” the White House said.

Potassium As a Nutrient in Drinking Water
There is a growing movement to use potassium in conjunction with sodium to treat and soften drinking water. This would cause the level of potassium in drinking water to rise. The World Health Organization (WHO) found that the level of potassium found in drinking water would present no health concerns for healthy adults; however, for certain populations with comprised renal functions, such as infants or individuals suffering from specific diseases, there is the possibility of adverse health effects.
What is Potassium?
The American Heart Association defines potassium as an electrolyte and nutrient. It is found in fruits, vegetables, dairy products and meat and is essential for the body to properly function. Potassium works with sodium to maintain the body's water balance and is also involved in nerve function, muscle control and blood pressure. According to Colorado State University, new studies have found that diets high in potassium and low in sodium may protect against hypertension. Potassium is most often consumed from dietary sources, though potassium supplements do exist. The American Heart Association's list of high-potassium foods includes bananas, cantaloupe, grapefruit, oranges, tomato juice, molasses and potatoes.
Potassium Consumption in the U.S
Potassium Chloride Vs. Potassium Gluconate
Learn More
Experts at Colorado State University state that the majority of Americans do not consume enough potassium in their diet. At the same time, according to the WHO, there is growing concern about the over-consumption of sodium. Because potassium and sodium work to maintain an equilibrium, having too much or too little of either can have severe health consequences. In the same report, the WHO reported on the growing effort to introduce methods to treat water with potassium salts, instead of just sodium, as a way to increase potassium levels and reduce sodium levels found in drinking water.
Potassium Levels in Drinking Water
The level of potassium in drinking water depends on the type of treatment used. Water that goes through potassium permanganate has lower levels of potassium than water that uses potassium-based water softener. The level of potassium found in drinking water is low enough not to be a concern for healthy individuals, says the WHO.
Susceptible Populations
Potassium Supplementation: Citrate Vs. Gluconate
Learn More
Because potassium is processed through the kidneys, the WHO has identified individuals with kidney disease or compromised renal functions as susceptible populations that may have significant adverse health effects due to increased potassium intake. In addition, the WHO also identifies infants, senior citizens and individuals suffering from heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, adrenal insufficiency, coronary heart disease, or who are taking medication that may elevate potassium levels, as groups susceptible to negative consequences of increased levels of potassium.
Over-Consumption of Potassium
In healthy individuals, increased levels of potassium in drinking water should not have adverse health consequences. In fact according to Colorado State University, increasing potassium levels should provide many health benefits. It is possible, however, to have too much potassium in the bloodstream. According to the Mayo Clinic, hyperkalemia, a rare but potentially serious condition, can occur when there is too much potassium in the blood stream. They cite kidney failure, type I diabetes, alcoholism, and excessive use of potassium supplements as common causes of hyperkalemia.
Symptoms of hyperkalemia include nausea, muscle fatigue, paralysis, weakness and abnormal heart rhythms. If you are experiencing these symptoms or are concerned about the level of potassium in your bloodstream, contact your doctor immediately.
Conclusion
As we all know, it is important to know what is going into our bodies. Over- or under-consumption of any one nutrient or mineral may have eventual health consequences. If you are concerned about how your water is being treated, contact your local water utility to find out more information.

Lab test tubes are designed for a variety of laboratory practices. The test tubes will help you store and transport solutions easily. Plastic test tubes are flexible and cheap. On the other hand, glass test tubes are durable and expensive. Most test tubes can be equipped with screw caps, caps and lids that make storage easier. If you want to retain the solution for a long time, you must make use of glass test tubes. Glass tubes made of borosilicate are less sensitive to temperature fluctuations. And, they cannot be broken easily. This is why scientists and chemists prefer borosilicate glassware over the plastic ones. And, when you buy tubes from glasstubes.eu go for the premium Pyrex ones!
Storing liquids in glass test tubes
When it comes to storing chemicals in glass test tubes, a deciding factor would be “air”. It is important to ensure that the vessel is air-tight. As mentioned previously, test tubes are now designed with air tight caps. You can use these caps to prevent the solution from evaporating. Additionally, the air tight cap protects the test tube from mold spores, bacteria, dust particles and any impurity that can affect the result of your test. Likewise, the cap prevents different gases from dissolving in your sample. Dissolved gas particles can affect the biomolecules in your sample. For example, sylfhydryl solutions react with oxygen and result in the formation of disulphides). Likewise, carbonic acid produces carbon dioxide when mixed in water. The carbon dioxide then decreases the solution’s pH value. This affects the stability of proteins and even influences on the protonation state.
Plastic test tubes come with many drawbacks. You cannot (or should not) use plastic test tubes for reactions that involve harsh chemicals. This is why you must opt for premium test tubes with caps.
The Falcon Test Tubes
If you have liquid samples that are less 50 milliliters, you will find the Falcon test tubes useful. These tubes are also known as Falcon centrifuge tubes. The falcon test tubes are designed and manufactured to handle different volumes of liquid. They are often shipped with screw caps. The falcon tube has a conical bottom that makes it easy to extract, and store small amounts of solution left in the test tube. It is important to store the falcon tubes in ideal racks. Some tubes have a free-standing design. These tubes have a plastic “skirt” at the bottom for standing. You can store falcon test tubes with plastic “skirts” on any horizontal surface.
Moving on, falcon tubes are graduated. This means, you can estimate the amount of solution in the tubes easily. Likewise, you will be able to transfer samples accurately. In any lab experiment, it is important to use samples accurately. Additionally, the falcon test tubes can be labelled easily. The screw caps have small white surfaces for labelling. Labels can be written using marker pens or printed.
The others
There are so many different types of test tubes. The falcon tubes are widely used. Likewise, you have the narrower and taller Wassermann tubes. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |

Carbocyclic nucleoside
Carbocyclic nucleosides (also referred to as carbanucleosides) are nucleoside analogues in which a methylene group has replaced the oxygen atom of the furanose ring. These analogues have the nucleobase attached at a simple alkyl carbon rather than being part of a hemiaminal ether linkage. As a result, they have increased chemical stability. They also have increased metabolic stability because they are unaffected by phosphorylases and hydrolases that cleave the glycosidic bond between the nucleobase and furanose ring of nucleosides. They retain many of the biological properties of the original nucleosides with respect to recognition by various enzymes and receptors.
Carbocyclic nucleosides were originally limited to a five-membered ring system, matching the ring-size of the nucleosides; however, this term has been broadened to three-, four-, and six-membered rings.
Natural products
The 5-membered ring carbocyclic nucleosides aristeromycin, the analog of adenosine, and neplanocin A, the cyclopentene analog of aristeromycin, have been isolated from natural sources. They both exhibit significant biological activity as antiviral and antitumour agents.
Classes
A large number of novel carbocyclic nucleosides of pyrimidines and purines have been prepared, and many of these compounds are endowed with interesting biological activities.
Pyrimidine carbocyclic nucleosides
The cyclopentenylcytosine (CPE-C) was developed as a potent antitumor and antiviral agent (phase 1 trials) and exhibited potent anti-orthopoxvirus as well as anti-West Nile virus activities. Carbocyclic (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2-deoxyuridine( (+) C-BVDU) GR95168 possesses activity against herpes simplex virus type l (HSV-1) and varicella zoster virus (VZV, chicken pox and shingles) in-vitro and in-vivo.
Purine carbocyclic nucleosides
The two guanine antiviral carbocyclic nucleosides, the anti-HIV agent abacavir and the anti-hepatitis B agent entecavir, are reverse-transcriptase inhibitors. Abacavir, was developed from racemic (±)-carbovir which was reported in 1988 by Robert Vince as the first carbocyclic nucleoside analogue to show potent activity against HIV with low cytotoxicity. The (-) enantiomer of carbovir was later shown to be the biologically active form for inhibition of HIV. However carbovir's low aqueous solubility and poor oral bioavailability, as well as inefficient central nervous system penetration prevented it from further developing as an anti-HIV agent. These difficulties were overcome by investigating prodrug analogues of (-) carbovir which lead to the 6-cyclopropylamino-2-aminopurine nucleoside abacavir, which was approved in 1998 by the FDA for the treatment of HIV infection.
Entecavir, a guanosine analog, was reported in 1997 as a potent and selective inhibitor for the hepatitis B virus, and approved by the FDA in March 2005 for oral treatment of hepatitis B infection. The fluorocarbocyclic nucleoside carbocyclic 2′-ara-fluoro-guanosine was reported in 1988 as the first example of a carbocyclic analogue of an unnatural nucleoside to exhibit greater anti-herpes activity against the herpesviruses HSV-1 and HSV-2 in-vitro than its furanose parent.
Synthesis
There are two approaches used in the synthesis of carbocyclic nucleosides. Linear approaches to chiral carbocyclic nucleosides 2 rely on the construction of the heterocyclic base onto a suitable protected chiral cyclopentylamine (1 → 2). In the convergent approach the intact heterocyclic base is coupled directly to a suitably protected functionalised carbocyclic moiety (3 → 2).

Securing Callbacks through Hashing
These settings are related to the technical integration of BitLabs.
1445
Hashing is really important to make the callbacks safe! Please do not use S2S callbacks without validating the hash.
In order to make callbacks safe, we are we append a "&hash=[HASH] at the end of each callback. This is an important feature for you to make sure that the callback, which you use as a base to reward your users, is coming from BitLabs and is not fake. This hash consists of a HEX encoded SHA1 HMAC. The whole URL is hashed with the secret key of the App. By checking the hash, you can be sure that the postback was actually sent by us and that it is legit.
Example
Inputs:
Callback URL: "https://publisher.com/complete?uid=8cc877ee-af19-488d-b28d-216fb866b996&val=500"
App Secret: "JLOIAUNMHFli7ZJOQVEzm98rzqnm9"
Hash: "dbcd6bb8ca677344592842a52b4fca9bec36cd4b"

P-Toluic acid
p-Toluic acid (4-methylbenzoic acid) is a substituted benzoic acid with the formula CH3C6H4CO2H. It is a white solid that is poorly soluble in water but soluble in acetone. A laboratory route to p-toluic acid involves oxidation of p-cymene with nitric acid.
Role in production of terephthalic acid
p-Toluic acid is an intermediate in the conversion of p-xylene to terephthalic acid, a commodity chemical used in the manufacture of polyethylene terephthalate. It is generated both by the oxidation of p-xylene as well as the hydrogenolysis of 4-carboxybenzaldehyde. In related processes it is converted to methyl p-toluate, which is oxidized to monomethyl terephthalate. | WIKI |
Blood Pressure Chart – Basics, Readings and Abnormalities
Assess the condition of hypertension before it gets out of control
High blood pressure is one of the leading problems behind the worsening health conditions in individuals across the world. With so many health complications associated with this condition, it isn’t surprising that having a predisposed knowledge about reading the blood pressure chart can ensure better prevention.
What is Blood Pressure chart
If you have been provoked on the higher risk of developing the condition of hypertension, we have all the insights to share with you about blood pressure, hypertension and how you can read the blood pressure chart.
What is blood pressure?
Before anything, it is important that one knows about the basics of blood pressure is before we proceed on to talking about the charts involved.
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by the blood circulating inside the body on the blood vessels. The same is done with respect to the way the heart is pumping the blood. It is often measured in millimeters of mercury (mm of Hg).
What are the types of blood pressure?
Under the general definition, there are two distinct categories that the blood pressure is again divided into.
The two types include:
• Systolic blood pressure
• Diastolic blood pressure
For those who aren’t aware, the systolic blood pressure is the top number in the reading of the blood pressure reading. It indicates the pressure of the blood exerted on the vessels as the heart is squeezing out to the body
For the diastolic blood pressure, it is the bottom number in the reading and indicates the pressure exerted by the blood flow in between the individual heart beats.
What are the abnormalities of the blood pressure?
Now that one has a basic understanding of what the entity of blood pressure is, it is important that they know what kind of abnormalities are bound to cross paths to get a better understanding of things while reading through the blood pressure charts.
In general, there are two different abnormalities;
• Hypertension
• Hypotension
Hypertension is the condition in which the blood pressure of the individual is more than what the normal range of the blood pressure should be which is 120/80 mm of Hg.
Hypotension is the condition in which the blood pressure of the individuals is less than what the normal range of the blood pressure should be. It is often less than the 120/80 mm of Hg.
What is the blood pressure chart?
Given that it’s often easier to avoid a disease when you know the precautionary steps, the same is the case with the blood pressure chart.
The blood pressure chart has been designed to help people know the normal and healthy blood pressure levels and the levels that they need to be concerned about.
Blood Pressure Chart
Given that our blood pressure does have direct impacts on some of the most common health risks like cardiovascular health and such, knowing the figures and managing them can actually help one lead a healthy life.
Seeing the chart itself, you would be able to point out how severe the condition is. There are several gradients in the chart which are indicative of individual risk zones. Some are on the same areas while some are definitely not on the same ones.
If your blood pressure is less than 90/60 mark, chances are that you are suffering from hypotension.
If the blood pressure is more than 140/90 mark, chances are that you are suffering from hypertension.
Anything excessively more than that is often characterized under the hypertensive category which requires immediate medical attention to ensure that it doesn’t take a turn towards something fatal.
What are the blood pressure categories according to the chart?
As mentioned before, the blood pressure categories are again further subdivided into more categories depending on the chart.
For your better understanding, it is important that you do know of the basics of the categories involved. Let us walk you through the important ones.
Normal range
The very first on the list of categories has to be normal which comprises of the blood pressure which reads less than the 120/80 mmHg mark. If your blood pressure levels are in this range, chances are that you wouldn’t necessarily have to worry about the risks of developing any serious heart condition or such that many often complain about. Maintain a healthy diet and an active lifestyle and you are good to do.
Elevated
The next in the list of the categories that one needs to focus on is the Elevated range which comprises of the blood pressure that ranges from 120-129 mmHg systolic pressure and a consistent diastolic pressure of less 80 mmHg. People who have elevated blood pressure levels are often on the risk of developing high blood pressure if the necessary mitigation methods are not adhered to.
Hypertension stage 1
The third category in the chart is the Hypertension stage 1 in which the range varies within 130-139 systolic or 80-89 mm Hg diastolic pressure. In this kind of level, the doctors are more likely going to prescribe the patients with lifestyle changes and might even prescribe medications to align their blood pressure in the normal range.
Hypertension stage 2
The fourth category is the more serious and severe version of the third category in the chart. In this stage, the blood pressure of the individual is more likely going to be around the range of 140/90 mmHg. This is the stage where the doctors prescribe the blood pressure management medication without any kind of fail to keep the individual’s blood pressure in check.
Hypertensive crisis
The last and possibly the most severe cases of them all is the hypertensive crisis in which the blood pressure readings cross the range of 180/120 mm Hg. If the readings come off as like that, the doctor is more likely going to take a few minutes buffer and measure the blood pressure again. If the levels are still high, immediate medical interference is needed.
Out of the upper and lower number of blood pressure, which is important?
When reading the blood pressure and comparing it with the chart, there are chances that you will often wonder which of the two readings is the more important one? By important, we mean which one you need to be more wary about.
Both systolic and diastolic pressures play a crucial role in your blood pressure but the systolic blood pressure or the upper number is often the one which is paid more attention to.
The main reason why that is the case is because it is often the one that poses as the primary risk behind majority of the cardiovascular conditions that take place. But, that doesn’t mean that the significance of the diastolic blood pressure is any less.
Why is the blood pressure chart important?
Having a rough idea about the blood pressure chart and the readings ensure that you wouldn’t have to worry about anything during the times of crisis.
Knowing the levels ensures that you know what kind of lifestyle is working for you and what you need to follow through to keep your health in the best condition.

Tencent Weibo
Tencent Weibo was a Chinese microblogging (weibo) website launched by Tencent in April 2010, and was shut down on September 28, 2020. Users could broadcast a message including 140 Chinese characters at most through the web, SMS or smartphone.
Introduction
Tencent Weibo was a social network that connected all users together. It enhanced communication between friends. Users could share photos, videos and text with a 140-character limit. The reposting function of Tencent Weibo was similar to Twitter's "retweeting", which was replied in @ form. In comparison, Tencent Weibo encourages users to create new topics on their own. With the support of QQ, Tencent didn't intend to launch Tencent Weibo at a strategic level, but as a marketing tactic to curb competitors.
Some Chinese celebrities were Tencent Weibo users, including, Ma Huateng, Zhou Hongyi, Liu Xiang and Jet Li.
Features
Initially only QQ users could register Tencent Weibo account corresponding to their own QQ number. Weibo accounts were not automatically registered for QQ users, they needed to log into their Tencent Weibo page for registration. Email address could be used for registration (formerly only QQ email address were supported). Posts could be shortened into an url.cn domain name. Each user could follow up to 2,000 people. Through the QQ client (Windows Simplified Chinese version of the QQ2010 Beta 3 or later version), QQ Pinyin input method, computer, smartphone (iPhone, Android OS, S60, and KJava), SMS and MMS, users could broadcast microblogging messages. In addition, photos could be inserted in all form, except SMS. Also, users could add videos (Tencent Video) and songs (QQ Music).
History
Early in 2007, Tencent launched a microblogging-like website Taotao.com. However, due to some operating problems, on January 26, 2010, Tencent announced to shut down and merge the website into the Qzone. Later in March, Qoocu.com (a blog focusing on products of Tencent) released some screenshots of the internal beta test of Tencent Weibo. On April 1, Tencent began its public beta test, people with an invitation code might take part in the test. And on the same day, Tencent released its QQ2010 version Beta3, with the microblogging feature included. In the second quarter of 2012 it had 469 million registered users. On July 23, 2014, Tencent Inc announced that it will integrate its micro-blogging service's operation team into the company's news team, after media reported that it has dismissed its micro-blogging department and will stop upgrading its micro-blogging service. In September 2020, Tencent shut down their Weibo.
Developer platform
Tencent Weibo acted as an 'open' platform for developers and users to communicate and share data widely. After signing on, developers and users could use the open API to create an application. Through the application, they could obtain information or spread new information. | WIKI |
Early age: need to wait
The primary core boot up for linux kernel start at stext, while the secondary core starts from secondary_holding_pen. The secondary core will loop in secondary_holding_pen until certain condition is met.
Middle age: finally can move on
After the primary core goes through head.S and the most of the functions in start_kernel, it will spawn a kernel thread in rest_init, which will eventually run kernel_init –> kernel_init_freeable –> smp_init.
• smp_init will call idle_threads_init to fork a swapper for each cpu, share the same PID but with different thread_info and task_struct, as shown below.

}
_cpu_up -> cpuhp_up_callbacks -> cpuhp_invoke_callback, which will call cpuhp_bp_states->startup.single, which points to bringup_cpu. bringup_cpu -> __cpu_up -> boot_secondary –> cpu_ops[cpu]->cpu_boot, which is smp_spin_table_cpu_boot –> write_pen_release.

"The rampant inflation prompted two redenominations ... another one happened on 1 October 2021 ... which removes 6 zeros from the currency without affecting its denomination"
This is confusing. How can you have a redenomination without affecting denomination? Is this saying that the currency was not renamed? i.e. both new and old currencies are the "bolívar soberano"? Pdwxbrl (talk) 15:03, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

Abstract
Four children with severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome (SCID) had evidence of circulating transfused cells detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). In two cases, the source of transfused cells was a single, unirradiated red cell transfusion and the patients developed severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In another instance, engraftment of bone marrow cells, mononuclear cells, and neutrophils was noted 9 weeks following the infusion of 111indium-labeled maternal leukocytes for localization of infection. The patient also developed severe GVHD as a consequence of engraftment of functionally active maternal cells and rejected a paternal T cell-depleted marrow infuse at a time when circulating maternal cells were present. In the fourth case, RFLP analysis was performed 2 h following completion of a leukocyte transfusion that had been irradiated with 3000 cGy prior to infusion. Third party mononuclear cells and neutrophils were transiently detected. The third party cells were of no clinical significance. The use of a limited panel of highly informative DNA probes allowed us to identify the affected circulating cell populations and source of foreign leukocytes in children with SCID without requiring a pretransfusion peripheral blood, bone marrow, or fibroblast sample.

Decoupled Architecture: Paving the Way for Flexibility and Scalability
We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.
—Winston Churchill
In the world of software development, this timeless insight from Winston Churchill rings particularly true. Just as our physical environments influence our behavior, the architecture of our digital systems profoundly impacts our ability to innovate and scale. I believe that a robust, decoupled architecture is the cornerstone of any successful digital transformation.
The Blueprint of a Modern Architecture
A well-designed platform architecture supports both the systems of engagement—the user-facing front ends—and the systems of record—the back-end operations. It also integrates the necessary data and analytics to drive digital and AI transformation. My goal is to build an architecture that offers flexibility, stability, and speed, enabling agile teams across the organization to develop and deploy solutions efficiently.
A Quick Tour of Architecture Styles
An architecture style is a family of architectures that share certain characteristics. Some common architecture styles include:
• N-tier: Traditional architecture for enterprise applications, dividing applications into layers like presentation, business logic, and data access.
• Web-Queue-Worker: A purely PaaS solution with a web front end and a back-end worker communicating through an asynchronous message queue.
• Microservices: Composed of small, independent services, each implementing a single business capability.
• Event-Driven Architecture: Uses a publish-subscribe (pub-sub) model where producers publish events, and consumers subscribe to them.
• Big Data and Big Compute: Specialized styles for workloads like large dataset processing and high-performance computing.
Embracing a Distributed and Decoupled Approach
At the heart of my architectural philosophy is the idea of decoupling—separating different components of a system so they can evolve independently. This approach allows us to break down monolithic applications into modular, reusable components. Here are four key shifts necessary to enable a decoupled architecture:
1. From Point-to-Point to Decoupled
Decoupling enables applications to evolve independently, enhancing agility and scalability. A crucial element of this shift is adopting API-based interfaces. APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) allow different teams within an organization to expose their data and functionalities to each other, as well as to external customers and partners.
Jeff Bezos famously revolutionized Amazon’s approach to software with a memo mandating that all teams expose their data and functionality through service interfaces. This mandate has become a fundamental principle for many organizations, enabling seamless integration and innovation across teams.
However, managing the proliferation of APIs is vital. While APIs simplify integration and promote modularity, an excessive number can lead to complexity. Implementing an API management platform can help streamline this process, ensuring consistency and efficiency.
For more information on API management and its benefits, you can refer to Azure API Management. Some of the key features related to this topic include:
• API Gateway: Centralized management of APIs, including routing, security, and throttling.
• Developer Portal: An interface for developers to discover, use, and manage APIs, complete with documentation and usage analytics.
• Security: Built-in features for securing APIs, including OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and IP filtering.
• Analytics: Real-time insights into API usage, performance, and issues.
• Versioning and Revision Control: Tools to manage different versions of APIs and their lifecycle.
These features facilitate the creation, management, and optimization of APIs, ensuring that a decoupled architecture remains efficient and manageable.
In addition to APIs, another powerful tool for decoupling systems is using messaging platforms. Messaging platforms provide a way for digital applications to publish messages, which other applications can then act on as they receive them. This setup ensures a smooth, decoupled flow of data within the organization.
One excellent option for a messaging platform is Azure Service Bus. Azure Service Bus offers:
• Reliable Messaging: Ensures messages are delivered in order and are durable, even in the case of intermittent connectivity.
• Scalability: Handles high-throughput workloads efficiently, making it suitable for both small-scale and enterprise-level applications.
• Advanced Features: Includes message scheduling, dead-lettering, and duplicate detection to manage complex messaging patterns.
• Security: Supports advanced security features like role-based access control and end-to-end encryption to protect your data.
By integrating Azure Service Bus into my architecture, I can further enhance the decoupling of systems, allowing for greater flexibility and responsiveness to change.
2. Leveraging a Cloud-Based Data Platform
A cloud-based data platform serves as a buffer for transactions outside core systems, pooling data for analytically intensive applications. This setup supports asynchronous data usage, enabling advanced analytics and AI applications. I leverage Microsoft Fabric to achieve this.
Microsoft Fabric offers a comprehensive suite of tools and services designed to simplify data management and analytics. Key features include:
• Data Integration: Seamlessly integrates data from various sources into a unified platform.
• Data Engineering: Provides tools for building and managing data pipelines efficiently.
• Data Warehousing: Offers scalable storage solutions for large datasets, facilitating easy access and analysis.
• Real-Time Analytics: Enables real-time data processing and analysis, critical for making timely business decisions.
• Machine Learning: Integrates with Azure Machine Learning to build and deploy machine learning models.
By leveraging Microsoft Fabric, I ensure that my data platform is robust, scalable, and capable of supporting the most demanding analytics and AI workloads.
3. Automating Infrastructure and Software Delivery
Manual provisioning of infrastructure and software deployment is not only time-consuming but also prone to errors. Leading companies, including mine, are now adopting Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate these processes. By encoding all infrastructure specifications, agile teams can provision cloud environments reliably and efficiently.
I utilize Azure DevOps and BICEP to achieve this automation:
• Azure DevOps: Provides a suite of tools for managing the entire software development lifecycle. It includes features for source control, continuous integration, continuous deployment (CI/CD), and project management, ensuring a streamlined and efficient development process.
• BICEP: A domain-specific language (DSL) for deploying Azure resources declaratively. BICEP simplifies the process of defining and deploying infrastructure as code, making it easier to manage and version infrastructure configurations.
Automation extends to software delivery as well. Automating the build, test, and deployment processes ensures that software updates are consistent and error-free, significantly improving productivity and time-to-market.
4. Evolving from Fixed to Modular Architectures
Unlike the construction industry, where preplanning is essential, digital architecture must be flexible and capable of evolving over time. A modular approach using best-of-breed, often open-source components allows me to adapt to new technologies without overhauling entire systems. This requires developing clear standards and maintaining well-designed interfaces to minimize complexity.
Decoupled Architecture as a Foundation for AI Agents
Decoupled architecture is a critical foundation for automation with AI agents. AI agents, especially those powered by generative AI and large language models, require a flexible and scalable architecture to function effectively. These agents can autonomously perform tasks, make decisions, and interact with other systems, enhancing overall automation capabilities.
AI agents benefit from a decoupled architecture by:
• Independent Functionality: Decoupled systems allow AI agents to operate independently, without being tightly bound to other components. This independence is crucial for enabling autonomous decision-making and action.
• Scalability: A decoupled architecture supports the scalability needed for deploying AI agents across various applications and environments. This scalability is essential for handling the large volumes of data and interactions that AI agents typically manage.
• Flexibility: By using APIs and messaging platforms, AI agents can easily integrate with different systems and data sources. This flexibility allows for more dynamic and responsive automation solutions.
• Real-Time Processing: Decoupled architectures facilitate real-time data processing, enabling AI agents to make timely decisions and actions based on the latest information.
For instance, agentic AI systems described in various sources, leverage these architectural principles to automate complex business workflows and provide intelligent assistance with minimal human intervention. These systems can handle tasks ranging from customer service to strategic planning, showcasing the transformative potential of combining decoupled architecture with advanced AI capabilities.

The process for meat canning was invented in the 1790s in France when Nicholas Appert experimented with heating food inside sealed glass jars. The first tinned meat was produced in England in 1820 when the instructions for opening the can began: “Cut round on the top near to the outer edge with a chisel and hammer”.
The first Australian meat canning works were opened in Sydney by Sizar Elliot. Elliot was an English-born merchant who set up in Sydney as a ship’s chandler in 1839. He was involved in various import/export businesses, including wine, lambskins and timber. He pioneered the meat-canning business in Australia as a response to a glut of livestock. At that time, many sheep were simply being slaughtered and boiled down for tallow to make soap and candles, with the meat being used as fertiliser.
At that time, all cans were hand-made from heavy tinplate, with the lids soldered on after the can was filled. They were large, commonly holding 6 lbs of meat. Elliot heated his cans in a bath of whale oil over a gas flame. Although he succeeded in selling some of his meat to whaling captains and won medals at a series of Sydney shows, he lacked capital and his meat canning venture was a commercial failure.
Later in the 1840s, other canneries were established at Camperdown, Victoria and Newcastle, New South Wales. The latter, labouring under the name of the Newcastle New South Wales Fresh Provision Preserving Company, was a venture by William and Henry Dangar. The company produced soups, beef and mutton packs and mock turtle, in cans that ranged from one to 12 lbs. Much of the meat was exported to England. However, in the 1850s, drought and the extra demand created by the gold rush pushed up the price of meat and these ventures, too, foundered. The Newcastle cannery closed in 1855.
Then, in 1865, prompted by an outbreak of cattle disease in Britain that created a demand for imported canned meat, Charles Tindal founded the Australian Meat Company in Northern New South Wales. The Melbourne Meat Preserving Company was established the following year and by 1870 was the largest meatpacking company in Australia, producing fresh meat as well as canned meats, meat extract, fertilizer, tallow, skins, and hides. By the 1870s, however, many plants were primarily canning rabbit as the introduced animals began to over-run farming areas.
In the decade 1869-79 the Australian meat preserving industry exported some 65,000 tons of preserved meats to England. English cookbooks such as Reeves Cookery (1885) began to include recipes specifically for Australian canned meat. | FINEWEB-EDU |
Station wear
Station wear often refers to the standard uniform worn by firefighters when they are around the station. It usually consists of Nomex uniform pants, a Nomex uniform shirt, and a pair of steel-toed uniform boots. The color of the uniform may differ from department to department. These are often worn under firefighting bunker gear, also referred to as PPEs (personal protective equipment), as an extra layer of protection against fires.
Most firefighter gear contains Nomex® and Kevlar® fibers. These revolutionary fibers work together to deliver proven protection, durability, and comfort from the inside out. Firefighters are already carrying a significant load; their turnout gear should not add to it.
The firefighter mask is called SCBA
A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), also known as a compressed air breathing apparatus (CABA) or simply a breathing apparatus (BA), is a device that is worn to supply breathable air in an environment that is immediately harmful to life or health. They are commonly seen in firefighting and industry.
Because synthetic materials (nylon, rayon, or polyester) would melt into the flesh under intense heat, all firemen are obliged to wear 100% cotton undergarments beneath the brush pants. | WIKI |

Olive-backed Pipit (Anthus hodgsoni)
The Olive-backed Pipit is a small passerine bird of the Pipit family which breeds across South, Central and East Asia, as well as Northeast Russia. Sometimes it is also referred to as Indian Pipit as well as Tree Pipit owing to its resemblance with the Tree Pipit. However, its back is more olive-toned and less streaked than that of species. In the local language of Bengal it is known as Gecho tulika”.

Olive-backed pipit
Where could you find the Olive-backed Pipit in Kolkata?
The Olive-backed Pipit is a migratory bird which pays a visit to the Indian subcontinent during winter. In Kolkata, you can get a glimpse of the bird at Central Park, Chintamoni Kar Bird Sanctuary, Rabindra Sarobar and Santragachi Jheel.
When should you photograph the Olive-backed Pipit?
Winter mornings are apt time to shoot the bird as the Olive-backed Pipit pays a visit to during December-January. Since the species is a shy in nature, so be cautious while approaching them. They tend to fly away if they sense slightest of disturbance. You might find it difficult to locate the bird sitting on tree branches due to its small size and olive green appearance. Try to identify the bird by paying heed to its distinctive calls.
Photographing the bird, characteristics, breeding and the necessary details:
The Olive-backed Pipit has greenish-olive plumage on its upperparts, from which it receives its common name, and white underparts speckled with brown. A broad, white line extends above the eye and a whitish spot and black patch lies by the ear-coverts. . The flight of the Olive-backed Pipit is undulating and jumpy, and it can move around trees with great agility.
The bird is usually found alone or in pairs. Its diet consists of insects, seeds.Their breeding season is from May to June. Its nest is a pad of coarse grass lined with finer grasses, concealed in a hollow under a stone.
Olive-backed Pipit call: tese and loud teaze when alarmed.
I have captured the varied images of the bird through my lenses at Central Park, Kolkata. At first, I faced difficulty to spot the bird due to its olive back and small size; sitting on high canopies.Hence, try to locate the bird through its distinctive calls as birds are rather heard than seen.
tips
• The bird is an winter visitor so best time to look for it is during December to January
• The bird is very shy and will fly away if alarmed
• spotting it is difficult due to its olive appearance, so best is to follow its call.
If the information is useful then share it.

Maztica Campaign Set
Maztica Campaign Set is an accessory for the 2nd edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game. The campaign set was co-authored by Douglas Niles and Tim Beach and published by TSR, Inc. in 1991.
Contents
The campaign set is based on the Maztica books Ironhelm, Viperhand, and Feathered Dragon. The campaign set comprises three main volumes. The first is a 96-page book called Journey to the True World with Maztican history and setting reference information. The second volume, Maztica Alive!, has additional information such as "terrain and climate, regions of Maztica, passage from the Sword Coast to Maztica, the afterlife, a short adventure, and four new monsters". The final 32-page book, Gods and Battles, includes rules and information on the Maztican gods as well as maps.
The Maztica setting is part of the Forgotten Realms, the "default" setting of Dungeons & Dragons. It is based "loosely" upon the ancient Aztec and Mayan civilizations, with "Maztica" being another name for the Aztecs. It includes two new kinds of magic that are independent from arcane and Faerunian holy magic, Pluma, which was created by the god Qotal the god of creation and freedom, and Hishna, created by Zaltec, the god of jaguars and war.
A Journey to the True World gives character generation rules for Maztican player characters. Races include desert dwarves, halflings, and humans. There are two warrior kits, the Eagle Knight and the Jaguar Knight, which receive special armor, and access to low-level Pluma and Hishna spells, respectively. Priests who receive access to Pluma or Hishna can use them, but only artisans, one of two new rogue classes, Plumaweavers and Hishnashapers, may learn the highest level of each. Also included are a description of Maztican currency, armor, weapons, and spells.
Publication history
Douglas Niles and Tim Beach co-authored the campaign set. While the Forgotten Realms Campaign Set (1987) had mentioned other continents existed in Abeir-Toril, there were no additional details. Douglas Niles had "been working to get a Mesoamerican Realms supplement on the TSR schedule for a while. It was entirely in line with his previous development work for the Realms, when he'd created the Celtic-themed Moonshae Islands as one of the first additions the Realms. It took him two years, but he finally got the OK. First up he wrote a new trilogy of novels detailing the discovery of the new world: Ironhelm (1990), Viperhand (1990), and Feathered Dragon (1991). The Maztica Campaign Set then followed three months after the conclusion of the Maztica Trilogy".
The setting describes the new continent Maztica — the name "is a portmanteau of two Mesoamerican peoples: the Maya and the Aztec". On the development of the book, Niles said it is "thoroughly researched and historically accurate". Niles' research included tours of "numerous archaeological sites such as the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, Tchitchin Itza, and Uxmal" and "multiple trips to Mexico's National Museum of Archaeology". It was important to Niles to include crusaders from Faerûn as a fictional version of conquistadors – Niles said "I'd always thought the conquistadors were the closest-thing to a real-life D&D story. I just wanted to give the story a better ending".
In 2016, a PDF edition of the Maztica Campaign Set was released on the DMsGuild. In July 2020, Wizards of the Coast added a sensitivity disclaimer to legacy products for sale digitally. The disclaimer states:"We (Wizards) recognize that some of the legacy content available on this website does not reflect the values of the Dungeons & Dragons franchise today. Some older content may reflect ethnic, racial, and gender prejudice that were commonplace in American society at that time. These depictions were wrong then and are wrong today. This content is presented as it was originally created, because to do otherwise would be the same as claiming these prejudices never existed. Dungeons & Dragons teaches that diversity is a strength, and we strive to make our D&D products as welcoming and inclusive as possible. This part of our work will never end."The disclaimer "appears twice on descriptions of D&D books that include content that resembles real-world cultures and races" such as the Maztica Campaign Set and Al-Qadim: Arabian Adventure books.
Reception
Keith H. Eisenbeis reviewed the Maztica Campaign Set in the February 1992 issue of White Wolf Magazine, giving the set an overall rating of 3 of 5. He remarked on TSR's trend of building campaigns based on its novels, noting that the set "succeeds admirably" in allowing those who have read them to continue to explore the setting. Eisenbeis also commented favorably on the description of the religious aspects of the setting (e.g., gods, priests, and afterlife). He noted as a potential problem the relatively little magic in the Maztica setting: a "group of low to mid level adventurers" imported from outside the continent could "wreak havoc". Eisenbeis concluded that the set "score[d] high for the role-player, moderately well for the problem solver and action seeker, and poorly for the power seekers".
In a retrospective review of Maztica Campaign Set in Black Gate, Scott Taylor said "Niles was challenged in this project to create a Mesoamerican world that mingles with the fantasy setting of the Forgotten Realms. In my opinion, after several so-so attempts at reading this set, he fails to deliver on what would make such a setting uniquely cool, ala demi-humans! The work tends to bog down in a kind of repetition of real-world conquistadors waging a campaign against indigenous peoples of the far south continents where the only change in the story line is that the priests actually had working magic." | WIKI |

in houses; the lower inhabited caves or holes in the earth, choosing hillsides for sites in order to escape inundations, which were then of calamitous dimensions and frequency. These cave-dwellings seem to have measured from four to six square yards in area, and to have been closed by a door four or five feet high. Common folk used them all the year round, and even princes and nobles found them comfortable as winter residences, transferring themselves in summer to huts built near the entrance of the caves. In constructing houses of the best type, the palaces of the era, flat stones were sunk in the ground to form a foundation, and on these was raised a stout upright, the "heavenly pillar" (ame no mihashira). At every corner also a pillar of lesser dimensions was erected, and between the tops of these corner pillars, as well as from each of them to the central post, beams were stretched, the whole bound together with wistaria withes. Reeds or rushes served for thatching, and heavy logs laid over the thatch prevented it from being blown away. The ends of the tie-beams projected high above the roof, a feature permanently preserved in Shintô architecture; a hole in the thatch gave exit to the smoke of the cooking-fire; the frames of doors and windows were tied in their places with stems of creepers, and the walls consisted of logs or bark, or of both combined. These edifices generally stood near a stream which | WIKI |
Jeparit
Jeparit is a town on the Wimmera River in Western Victoria, Australia, 370 km north west of Melbourne. At the 2016 census Jeparit had a population of 342, down from 394 five years earlier.
History
The area around Jeparit is originally home to the Gromiluk Aboriginal peoples prior to European settlement. The name Jeparit is believed to be derived from a Gromiluk word meaning "home of small birds". European settlement began in the 1880s when German Lutheran immigrants began to settle and grow wheat.
The town was surveyed in 1883 and gazetted in 1889, the post office opening on 31 August 1889 though known as Lake Hindmarsh until December 1889. Two earlier post offices called Lake Hindmarsh had existed in the area at various times since 1861 to serve a smaller population of graziers.
Jeparit's most famous son is former Australian Prime Minister and founder of the Liberal Party, Sir Robert Menzies, who was born in the town in 1894. He is commemorated with a spire and a memorial bust installed at the town square. The spire, topped with an ornament resembling a Scottish Thistle, is inscribed:
"This spire has been erected by the people of Jeparit and district, to honour Sir Robert Menzies. The spire symbolises the rise to world recognition of a boy who was born in Jeparit and who rose by his own efforts to become Australia's Prime Minister and a statesman recognised and honoured throughout the world."
Sport
With neighbouring townships Rainbow, Hopetoun, and Beulah, Jeparit has a football and netball club, the Southern Mallee Thunder, competing in the Wimmera Football Netball League.
Golfers play at the course of the Jeparit Golf Club on Nhill Road.
Jeparit is the setting for Peter Carey's 1985 novel Illywhacker. | WIKI |

Here are made the Blanchard churn, the Clapp traps, axe-handles, birch-bark pictures, bricks, bedsteads, brooms, brushes, carriage-springs, cigars, crackers, confectionery, excelsior, flour, furniture, lumber, mackerel-kits, meal, ploughs, salve, saws, shoes, soap, stoves, toys, water-wheels, etc.
The wholesale trade of Concord
merchants includes books, stationery, flour, grain, groceries, aside from the manufactured articles, and extends all through central, western, and northern New Hampshire and Vermont. The retail stores command a large business from neighboring towns, and large stocks in the various lines are carried. The most important is the home trade, however, for thirteen thousand people consume much food, and wear many garments. There are three well-patronized book-stores in town, several printing-offices, and two daily and five weekly newspapers, aside from. There are three national banks, three savings banks, and one private banking institution. Within the city there are several private libraries, especially rich in valuable and unique collections of books on art, history, and science.
Down towards the Lower Landing and the Concord Bridge is the mansion of the Countess Rumford, substantially unchanged since her death. By her it was bequeathed with an ample endowment-fund for a home for orphan girls,—a noble charity, which will keep her memory green for an untold period. The house was built in 1764, but it has lately been enlarged to twice its original size. Out beyond Millville, there is another orphan-asylum, conducted under the auspices of the Episcopalians.

THE GLARAJURA. 679 �By the law of Oregou (Sess. Laws 1865, p. 33 ; Or. Laws, p. 707, § 12) it is provided that any river pilot " who shall first speak any sea- going vessel ascending or descending the river above Astoria," shall be entitled to half pilotage therefor. The pilot-ground of the Coluinbia and Wallamet river pilots reaches "from Astoria to the head of naviga- tion," but from Astoria to the open sea beyond the bar is the pilot- ground of the bar pilots. Or. Laws, pp. 706-7, §§ 6, 7, 11. Asto- ria is a port of entry where foreign vessels bound to Portland stop to enter, and usually change the bar tug for a river one. �The argument of the libellant is that a competent and enterpris- ing body of pilots is necessary to the seeurity and convenience of commerce on these rivers, and to this end the law allows half pilot- age to the pilot who first tenders his services to a vessel "ascending or descending" the same, and for the same reason will permit the tender of such services to be made before such vessel has reached Astoria, and as soon as she is inside the bar of the Columbia. In sup- port of this proposition and argument, counsel cites Steam-ihip Co. v. Joliffe, 2 Wall. 456; Wilson v. McNamee, 102 U. S. 572; Horton v. Smith, 6 Ben. 264; The Traveler, Id. 280; The Georgia D. Loud, 8 Ben. 392. �It is not denied that claims for pilotage are within the admiralty jurisdiction, and that a valid oiier and refusai of pilotage service under the law giving half pay therefor establishes a claim for pilotage that may be enforced in this court. The Qlenearne, 7 Fed. Eep. 604, and cases there cited. But the necessity of compulsory pilotage between Astoria and Portland, where sail-vessels are usually towed by steam-boats with licensed pilots on board, may well be questioned. Neither do I think that the usual arguments in favor of half pilotage as a means of encouraging and maintaining an active and competent body of pilots upon and about bars and other dangerous waters in the vicinity of or immediate approach to frequented harbors and ports, apply to the pilot-grounds between Astoria and Portland. The duties of the river pilots, though requiring skill and local knowledge, are comparatively simple and free from danger. A vessel at Astoria does not require a pilot until she is ready to ascend the river, and in the mean time can remain at anchor or the dock in comparative safety, �From the nature of the case, then, I am of the impression that a tender of pilot services by a river pilot to an ascending vessel below Astoria, on the bar pilotage ground, is invalid and of no effect. ��� � | WIKI |

Maurice Rabb Jr.
Maurice F. Rabb Jr. (August 7, 1932 – June 6, 2005) was an American ophthalmologist. He is widely known for his pioneering work in cornea and retinal vascular diseases.
Early life
Maurice Farnandis Rabb was born on August 7, 1932, in Shelbyville, Kentucky. He was the only child of Maurice F. Rabb Sr., a physician and a civil rights activist, and Jewel Miller Rabb, a math teacher and treasurer of the local NAACP branch, both graduates of Fisk University. He was interested in traveling and taking pictures in his early ages. He and another member of the Boy Scouts represented their region at the Boy Scout World Jamboree in Paris. At 14, Rabb was thinking about a career in photography which led him to the field of ophthalmology.
After attending Indiana University in Bloomington for two years, Rabb transferred to the University of Louisville in 1951 when this institution was desegregated. He graduated from the University of Louisville School of Medicine in 1958. He attended Kings County Hospital for postgraduate training. He studied ophthalmology at New York University and became the first African-American resident of the University of Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary.
Career
When he completed his residency, Rabb started a private practice in downtown Chicago which focused on retinal disease.
Rabb became the medical director of the Illinois Eye Bank and Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois. He was also the director of the fluorescein angiography Laboratory at the Michael Reese Hospital. In 1977, he was a full professor of clinical ophthalmology.
He served as the chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology at Mercy Hospital, president of the Medical Hospital Mercy Staff, and medical director of Prevent Blindness America.
Rabb founded the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center at the University of Illinois (The University of Illinois Eye and Ear Infirmary) with a colleague, after obtaining a grant from the National Institutes of Health. The center was the only one in the country to diagnose and treat sickle cell eye disease. Rabb also led a research that helped prevent retinal detachment and blindness in sickle cell patients.
Rabb was recognized for his efforts to expand opportunities for doctors from underrepresented communities through the National Medical Association. Annually, the NMA awards the Rabb Venable Ophthalmology Award for Outstanding Research to students and residents for the best research presentations. Rabb also was a member of the Roman Barnes Society of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
Personal life
He was married to Madeline Murphy Rabb for 39 years. They have two sons, engineer and business person, Maurice III (1967) and politician and author Chris Rabb (1970).
Death
Rabb, a non-smoker, died on June 6, 2005, after a long battle with non-small cell lung cancer for which he was diagnosed in the winter of 2003. | WIKI |
Upstart 0.5: Job Lifecycle
Next month I am hoping to release Upstart 0.5.0, the culmination of almost a year’s worth of work on it. Comparitively the version that shipped in edgy (0.2.x) was simply an essay to figure out the basics and the version in feisty thru hardy (0.3.x) a first draft. The new version has been stripped back to the very basics and rebuilt to correct the problems we found with the earlier versions, and to make sure it can handle real world uses as simply and elegantly as possible.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be writing about the new version; both how it has improved from previous versions and how it compares to what else is out there.
Introduction
First we’ll look at how Upstart allows you to manage the lifecyle of services and tasks (collectively jobs) that you wish to manage. We’ll use the D-Bus daemon as an example service, simply because it’s a modern, well-behaved service that we’re all familiar with.
With SystemV RC, we would have had a single /etc/init.d/dbus file accepting both start and stop as arguments. They may have looked something like this:
case "$1" in
start)
start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/dbus.pid /usr/sbin/dbus-daemon
;;
end)
start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/dbus.pid
;;
esac
As you’re well aware, the simple act of starting a daemon and stopping again is not so simple this way. You nearly always end up requiring some kind of helper like start-stop-daemon to help out, and rely on accurate PID files and the like.
Upstart, like just about every other modern service manager (but strangely, not SMF), takes care of all of this hard work for you. Instead of defining how to start and stop a service you just define what to start. Here’s how you’d define the same service in Upstart:
exec /usr/sbin/dbus-daemon
Setup and teardown
Of course, we all know that no service definition is ever that simple. I massively simplified the SystemV example for the purposes of documentation. In reality, we frequently need to do various things to set up the system for the daemon and clean up again afterwards. The original start shell code probably looks more like this (and even now, I’m simplifying for space):
mkdir /var/run/dbus
chown messagebus.messagebus /var/run/dbus
/usr/bin/dbus-uuidgen --ensure
start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/dbus.pid /usr/sbin/dbus-daemon
We need a directory for socket files, etc. and to create the machine id if missing. ANd likewise to shut it down, we need to clean up:
start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile /var/run/dbus.pid
rm -rf /var/run/dbus
And this is where most init replacements fall down (especially launchd). In fact, ironically, you’ll often find the developers using their minimal service definitions when they talk about how fast their system can boot. You can boot really fast if you don’t start anything properly.
Obviously I wouldn’t be pointing this out if Upstart didn’t allow you to do this properly; we’ll extend our minimal service definition to include the set up and tear down code necessary.
pre-start script
mkdir /var/run/dbus
chown messagebus.messagebus /var/run/dbus
/usr/bin/dbus-uuidgen --ensure
end script
exec /usr/sbin/dbus-daemon
post-stop script
rm -rf /var/run/dbus
end script
Before we just defined one process in a job’s lifecycle, known as the main process. Our new definition defines two more, the pre-start and post-stop processes. We’ve chosen to define them as shell scripts embedded in the definition, we could have defined them as binaries to execute if we preferred (using pre-start exec), and we could have defined the main process as a script (using script...end script).
As their name suggests, these processes are run before the main process is started and after it has been stopped respectively. In fact, Upstart guarantees more than that:
• For every time that the job is started, the post-stop process will be run.
• For every time that the main process is run, the pre-start process will have been completed successfully first.
It might seem a little strange that the post-stop process will always run but the pre-start process doesn’t have as strong a guarantee. This is because it’s possible for the job to be stopped immediately after it is started. Should that happen, Upstart will not run the main process since there’s no need, and therefore will also not run the pre-start process; however to ensure the system is clean, it always runs the post-stop process.
These guarantees also provide sane restart behaviour. If you restart a job, the main process is killed, the post-stop process is run, then the pre-start process is run again before the main process. If you cancel a restart (by stopping the job again) after the post-stop process has been run, it will always be run again.
Spawned, Running and Killed
Upstart makes important distinctions in the state of the main process, it does not necessarily assume that just because the exec() syscall has succeeded that the process is in a suitable running state. Likewise, it does not assume that just because the kill() syscall has succeeded that the process is no longer running.
The latter is easy to understand, delivering the TERM signal to a running process normally just invokes its own termination handler which may perform any number of activities before cleanly shutting down. Upstart waits for the actual child signal signifying termination before running the post-stop script, until that point the process is considered merely “killed”. Obviously too long in the “killed” state means Upstart delivers the much more harcode KILL signal, but that’s adjustable.
The former is harder to understand since the new binary is in memory and is probably at least initialising, but that’s the point: it isn’t yet ready for other jobs to use. In the SystemV script, this wasn’t an issue, since we could generally rely on daemons (well behaved ones anyway) to follow the convention that they should not fork() until initialisation was completed successfully.
Since Upstart forks and supervises its own processes, it generally prefers that daemons do not fork() and remain as the pid they were given when started. So how do jobs signify that they are ready? There are a few ways:
• By forking as before. As I’ve talked about before, Upstart can supervise process that fork, and it will wait for that to happen before assuming the process is ready.
• By raising the STOP signal. Jobs marked with expect stop will wait for this, and once received will sent it the CONT signal and assume that it is now ready.
• By registering a D-Bus name. An early 0.5.x release will wait for a particular D-Bus name to be registered, and not assume that the job is ready until it has done so.
• By calling listen(). Again, planned for an early 0.5.x release, Upstart will use the same mechanism it uses to follow forks to watch for the listen() system call.
• With a post-start script, more on that in a second.
The last two processes
I’ve introduced the three processes that most jobs will tend to use, but there’s also another two which will be somewhat rarer but are probably the most powerful of them all. These are the post-start and pre-stop processes, and they’re interesting because they’re run while the main process is running.
The post-start process, as its name suggests, is run after the main process has been spawned and any event we were expecting (see above) has happened. The job will not be considered ready until the post-start process completes, thus a common use for it is to interrogate the daemon or send it commands it can only act on once its running.
The pre-stop process is run when a request to stop the job occurs (this means it is not run if the main process terminates on its own), and the process is not killed until it finishes. It receives information about the request, and can cause that request to be ignored (thus leaving the job running). Another common use is to send the daemon commands before it receives the TERM signal.
Next…
So that’s a look at the ways we can define the lifecycle of an Upstart job. In the next couple of posts we’ll look at the environment and session of jobs, and then at matters such as respawning and singletons.

You might consider using the term “shell” instead of “script” that would leave you the flexibilty to add, say, python scripts in there if you have something really fancy that needs doing in there.
Tks,
Jeff Bailey
2. Jeff Bailey
Actually, thinking about it, I’d go a step further than that:
I’d make “script” require an argument of what interpreter the script should be piped to.
Then make “shell” an alias for “script /bin/sh”.
I would also add an alias for “bash” to be “script /bin/bash” because there are some times when the bashisms really are worth the speed tradeoff.

That is all nice technically, but how is this going to benefit Ubuntu if we still ship with sysvrc-compat? Ubuntu has never taken advantage of Upstart. Will that change with the new version?

> there a compelling reason to have a “shell” instead?
The biggest argument is clarity. You’ve already got ‘exec’ to differentiate from ‘script’. But the popular scripting language in people’s minds shifts from year to year. A few years ago it would’ve been Perl. These days it’s Python.
Another weaker argument for having aliases is the possibility of defining them in a config file. That way if someone wants “shell” to mean “/bin/posh” on their system, they can change it in one place instead of sed’ing all of the config files.

Question:
Where can I find documentation and examples for this new world? Namely, I need and example or explaination of how to write a the ideal daemon for UpStart – should it fork, contact dbus or create a pid file?
Next how do I write a Upstart init.d file to replace a SYSV formatted file I used under Fedora, or a Debian based init.d for Ubuntu? Again, an example would be nice. I can supply an autotools package with debian|redhat.initd templates, and two versions of the same C template daemon; libc & glib based with only –userid username –version –force (pid create) –help, if that would help. Its on my sourceforge page with gapcmon. gdaemons-0.1.1.tar.bz2 https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=157888&package_id=280067&release_id=606274
I ask because I am interested in what your doing and there is a benefit for me; one init.d script for all linux platforms (WooHoo). Thus, I want to understand how the two or three daemons I have released will be advantaged by upstart. I have no problem adding dbus, although I already create a pid file. Also I always fork once, but that two can be changed. I’m looking for the book or some best practces that I can code to. Most of what i have googled on UpStart has been difficult to piece together and code to.
11. Gerhard
Thanks for a great article.
My perl script takes an –start option to start and –stop to stop. How do I tell upstart to use that input argument as start up and shut down?
thanks for the help

“For every time that the job is started, the post-stop process will be run.”
Did you really mean “started”? or it’s a typo? I’d expect post-stop to be executed for every time that the job is stopped :)

HUGHES, Ball, sculptor, b. in London, England, 19 Jan., 1806; d. in Boston, Mass., 5 March, 1868. He early showed a fondness for modelling, and procured his first supply of wax by collecting candle-ends, with which he made a bass-relief copy of a picture, representing the judgment of Solomon, that was afterward cast in silver. His father placed him in the studio of Edward H. Baily, with whom he remained for seven years. During this time he gained important prizes, including a large silver medal that was given by the Royal academy for the best copy in bass-relief of the Apollo Belvedere, a silver medal from the Society of arts for a copy of the Barberine Faun, a large silver medal for the best original model from life, and a gold medal for an original composition called “Pandora brought to Earth by Mercury.” He also executed several ideal statues, and busts of George IV. and the Dukes of Cambridge, Sussex, and York, besides a statuette of George IV., that was afterward cast in bronze. He came to the United States in 1829, and settled first in New York, where he made in marble a statue of Alexander Hamilton for the Merchants' exchange, but it was destroyed by fire in 1835. The life-size monumental high-relief of Bishop Hobart of New York, now in the vestry of Trinity church, New York city, was made by him about this time. Later he resided in Dorchester, Mass., and there made “Little Nell” and the group “Uncle Toby and Widow Wadman,” which are preserved in plaster at the Boston athenæum, but never have been carved in marble. Among his later works are a model of an equestrian statue of Washington, intended for the city of Philadelphia, a “Crucifixion,” a statue in bronze of Nathaniel Bowditch that is now in Mount Auburn cemetery, a statuette of Gen. Joseph Warren, a bust of Washington Irving, and a “Mary Magdalen.” Mr. Hughes also lectured upon art, and attracted attention by his sketches that he made on wood with a hot iron.

Erectile Dysfunction Quiz
Due to the perceived stigma that goes along with erectile dysfunction, there is a lot of bad information floating around about it. Some men are so embarrassed that they don’t even talk to their doctor about it. We put together this short video quiz to clear up some of those ED myths.
Erectile Dysfunction Quiz
Let’s start with an easy one.
1. Is erectile dysfunction just a natural process that all men go through as they get older?
Is it a) Yes or b) No?
A lot of people think getting ED is just a part of getting older, but it is not. So, the answer is B No. This common misperception can have far-reaching health repercussions and prevent some from getting the care they really do need.
2. Erectile Dysfunction doesn’t just affect older men. According to the American Journal of Medicine, what percentage of 20-39 year olds have difficulty with ED?
Is it a) 5% b) 10% c) 15% or d) 20%?
In that study by the American Journal of Medicine, 85 percent of men aged 20-39 say they “always” or “almost always” can get or maintain an erection. That means the correct answer is C 15% for those of you who are math challenged. Getting older increases your chances of experiencing ED, but it can happen when you’re younger too!
3. ED is only caused by low testosterone levels?
Is the answer a) No or b) yes?
While low testosterone levels can contribute to erectile issues, if you already have levels in the normal range, adding testosterone won’t do anything. And even if your levels are low, raising it might not help with ED. So, the answer is A No. There can be many different causes for ED.
This next one can be tricky. Let’s see if you get it.
4. Which of the following diseases is not a physical cause of erectile dysfunction?
Is it a) heart disease b) diabetes c) multiple sclerosis or d) hepatitis C?
Did you guess C multiple sclerosis? If you did, you are incorrect. The actual answer is hepatitis C. That disease can be spread through the penis, but it doesn’t harm the penis’ capability to function normally.
5. Which of the following ways is NOT a way to diagnose erectile dysfunction?
Is it a) blood test b) mental health exam c) urinalysis or d) catheter?
Considering who’s giving you this quiz, we’d hope you already know that the answer isn’t A. Actually, a blood test is one of the first thing a doctor would want from someone complaining of ED. The actual answer is D. There is no call to stick a catheter up you in order to diagnose the problem.
6. Which of the following erectile dysfunction myths are untrue?
Is it a) ED can be caused by tight underwear b) erections change naturally as men age c) men with ED have no sex drive or d) erectile dysfunction is not dangerous?
The answer is A. Tight underwear can affect fertility, but not a man’s ability to achieve or keep an erection. Not only is D true, but it can be a sign of a really serious disease as we discussed above: heart disease, diabetes, even cancer. That’s why it’s important not to chalk up ED to something that just happens.
Last question. We’ll make it an easy one.
7. You can only cure erectile dysfunction with the use of a little blue pill or similar type of medication?
Do you think the answer is a) yes or b) no?
If you’ve been paying attention to our quiz, you’ll notice that the causes can vary. Consequently, the cure can vary too. Since it’s a symptom of other diseases, managing them can also cure ED. So the answer is B no.
So, that’s it! How did you do? Let us know in the comments or on our Facebook & Twitter pages. Until next time.

Bishorn
The Bishorn (4,151 m) is a mountain in the Pennine Alps in Switzerland, just north of the Weisshorn.
The mountain has two distinct summits, separated by a 600-metre easy-angled snow ridge.
* The west and higher summit (4,151 m), first ascent by G. S. Barnes and R. Chessyre-Walker with guides Joseph Imboden and J. M. Chanton on 18 August 1884.
* The east summit (Pointe Burnaby, 4,134 m), first ascent by Elizabeth Burnaby with guides Joseph Imboden and Peter Sarbach on 6 May 1884.
Huts
Huts serving the peak are the Cabane de Tracuit (3,256 m) and the Turtmann hut (2,519 m).
Access to both huts is snow-free in summertime. The Tracuit hut is normally accessed from the Zinal valley, a long and demanding walk of around five hours from the village to the hut.
The Turtmann hut is primarily used for climbing the Barrhorn and the Brunegghorn. Note that climbing the Bishorn from the Turtmann hut requires a far longer glacier walk through sections with numerous crevasses.
Access roads
The access roads to the huts are from the Rhone valley in the north. The road to Zinal starts at Sierre, and the other road starts from Turtmann village. In both cases these are good and attractive mountain roads typical of the area. | WIKI |
Best answer: How does a pregnancy bump feel?
How do I know if its a baby bump?
You’ll likely notice the first signs of a bump early in the second trimester, between weeks 12 and 16. You might start showing closer to 12 weeks if you are a person of lower weight with a smaller midsection, and closer to 16 weeks if you’re a person with more weight.
Can you feel a lump in your stomach when pregnant?
As your tummy grows and stretches during pregnancy, the pressure on the abdominal wall increases, and tiny holes there that never caused problems before can become larger, or new hernias can form. If you have a hernia, you’ll probably notice a soft lump around your belly button, or sometimes in your groin area.
Is pregnant tummy hard or soft?
As the belly grows, it becomes rounder and harder in the lower part of the belly button and then becomes harder around the navel, and by the 5th month of gestation, the belly becomes more rounded leaving no room for doubt that you are pregnant.
Where does a baby bump start?
“At 12 weeks, your growing uterus can no longer hide inside your pelvis behind your pubic bone,” says Sherry Ross, an OB/GYN at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California. “Instead, it starts to protrude into your abdomen.” For some women, that shift translates to a starter baby bump.
IT IS INTERESTING: How do babies get rid of forehead hair?
Can I press on my pregnant belly?
Because baby is so tiny in the first trimester, there’s virtually no risk to them with abdominal contact or trauma. It’s not impossible to have a negative outcome, but it would be rare unless the injury was severe. The risk increases a bit in the second trimester, as your baby and stomach start growing more.
Can you feel a lump in early pregnancy?
Usually they’re just from the stimulation of the hormones of pregnancy, and your breasts are sort of getting ready to take on this very important job, which is to make milk that will feed your baby. So it’s very common to feel real lumpy and bumpy on both sides in a pretty even way.
What symptoms do you feel when your pregnant?
The most common early signs and symptoms of pregnancy might include:
• Missed period. If you’re in your childbearing years and a week or more has passed without the start of an expected menstrual cycle, you might be pregnant. …
• Tender, swollen breasts. …
• Nausea with or without vomiting. …
• Increased urination. …
• Fatigue.
How can I feel my stomach to see if I’m pregnant?
Your touch should be firm but gentle. Walk your fingers up the side of her abdomen (Figure 10.1) until you feel the top of her abdomen under the skin. It will feel like a hard ball. You can feel the top by curving your fingers gently into the abdomen.
Where does your stomach get hard in early pregnancy?
Second trimester
During weeks 13-27 of pregnancy, the baby (and your body) will grow a great deal. This is the time you can start feeling the baby from the outside. A hard spot on your abdomen during the early part of the second trimester is likely to be your fundus, which is the top of your uterus.
IT IS INTERESTING: Do babies get better at 3 months?
How does a pregnant belly feel at 1 month?
Your uterus is going through a lot of changes — that’s bound to cause some discomfort. Plus, remember the bloating we talked about before? That can make you constipated and gassy, too, which might make your tummy feel not so great. None of this should be intensely painful, though; it might just feel like period cramps. | ESSENTIALAI-STEM |
