Shar Pei fever

Shar Pei fever (also called familial Shar Pei fever or FSF) is a condition seen in Shar Pei characterized by recurring fever and swelling of the hocks.  It is similar to familial Mediterranean fever in humans.  The cause is unknown, but it is thought to be inherited.  Shar Pei fever can result in renal and liver failure through accumulation of amyloid in those organs (amyloidosis).

Affected Shar Pei have an elevated level of interleukin 6, and this leads to an accumulation of acute phase proteins in the body during the fevers.  The acute phase proteins are broken down to form type AA amyloid, which deposits in the kidneys and less so in the liver, spleen, and gastrointestinal tract.  This eventually leads to kidney or liver failure by the age of six years.

The symptoms of Shar Pei fever include fever, swelling, and pain in the hocks that usually resolves within two days. The swelling in the hocks is easily recognizable—the hock will resemble a flaccid waterballoon, rather than stiff swelling following a sprain or break. The symptoms can be treated with NSAIDs such as carprofen.  Kidney and liver failure cannot be treated except by the conventional manner usually used for those diseases.  Prevention of amyloidosis is sometimes used in dogs with recurring episodes of Shar Pei fever.  Colchicine and dimethyl sulfoxide are most commonly used.  Dogs taking colchicine must be monitored closely for signs of bone marrow disease.  The prognosis is guarded for Shar Pei that develop amyloidosis.

Elsa Watson

Elsa Watson is an American author.  Her first novel, Maid Marian (2005), details a history of Marian, the female companion to Robin Hood.

Watson was inspired to write about Marian because "It struck [her] as strange that [Marian's] name is so well known, yet no one has a sense of her character beyond her role as Robin Hood's consort." 

Watson is also the author of Dog Days, published in May 2012, A Christmas Tail (October 2012), and The Love Dog (January 2013).

Elsa Watson graduated from Carleton College with a degree in classical languages and now lives on Bainbridge Island.

Sunnydale High Yearbook

Sunnydale High Yearbook is a tie-in book based on the United States television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In the series, the closing shot of the 1999 episode "Graduation Day, Part Two" shows the fictional yearbook this tie-in was modeled after.

Plot summary
The Scooby Gang are coming to the end of their Senior year at High School, Buffy Summers is busy making battle plans. Willow has time to pick up the High School Yearbook for her. Once the gang could relax knowing that high school truly was over, Xander, Oz, Cordelia, Giles, Angel and others scrawled notes in Buffy's yearbook to make it special. It is now full of notes, photos and in-jokes only the Scoobies understand and appreciate, having fought on the Hellmouth for three years and survived High School.

This book was an oddity in the release of Buffy publications by Pocket Books, it was neither a novelization of an episode, nor an original novel, but instead a fictional school yearbook. It featured "inscriptions" from characters on the front inside cover; Willow, Xander, Oz, Giles, Cordelia, Angel, Anya, Wesley, Snyder, Joyce, Jonathan, Harmony, Larry, and Devon. It also included inscriptions from the crew-folk on the back inside cover. In the "In Memoriam" section Willow mentions Harmony's absence but she doesn't know Harmony is dead until "The Harsh Light of Day".

Gerard Cosloy

Gerard Cosloy (born 1964) is an American music industry executive.

Biography

Cosloy was raised in Wayland, Massachusetts, a western suburb of Boston. While he was in high school, he became involved in the local hardcore punk scene, put together many punk shows, and started Conflict, a mimeographed fanzine of underground and alternative rock and art. He continued to write and edit the fanzine during the '80s and early '90s. He never finished college though he did briefly attend the University of Massachusetts, Amherst where he contributed reviews to "Daily Collegian" the college newspaper.

In 1984, Cosloy got a job at Homestead Records an independent label created by the Dutch East India Trading Co., a Long Island-based record distributor. He moved to New York for the position. Homestead put out many of the mid-80s defining alt-rock records, from Big Black, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., My Dad Is Dead, The Membranes and many others. He continued to publish Conflict during this time.

It was via Conflict that Cosloy first heard the band Pavement, after Scott Kannberg sent the fanzine the band's first studio recording, Slay Tracks. He did some DJing at WZBC, Boston College's radio station, as well. He had a record label called Conflict Records, which issued a compilation LP called Bands that Could be God.  He also put out a 7-inch single by the Boston band The Flies. Cosloy also promoted shows in the Boston area, one of them being hardcore band Deep Wound which evolved into Dinosaur Jr.

Cosloy next worked with Matador Records. The label was started in 1989 by Dutch East employee Chris Lombardi and Cosloy joined into the partnership in 1990.

For a time Cosloy lived in London working with Matador's UK and US operations. As of Autumn 2004, he has been living in Austin, Texas, continuing his partnership with Lombardi.

He has also started the experimental record label Parallelism and the label 12XU.

Cosloy is also a musician and is a member of Air Traffic Controllers as well as working with punk singer GG Allin for a short period.  From 1992-1996, he fronted the New York quartet Envelope, while briefly filling in as bassist for the Dustdevils during Mark Ibold's tenure in Pavement.

Cosloy has a daily mostly-sports blog called Can't Stop the Bleeding.

Cosloy's house was destroyed by fire in August, 2009.  Cosloy, who worked out of his home, and another resident were awakened and evacuated around 3 a.m. by an officer of the Austin Police Department. Cosloy was quoted as saying, "There are a lot of people who have a lot less than I do who deal with a lot worse, but this is pretty bad."

Park Road Post

Park Road Post Production is an international film and television post-production facility located in Miramar, a suburb of Wellington, New Zealand. Built out of the state-owned National Film Unit (NFU), the new facility opened upon completion in 2005. Park Road is owned by WingNut Films, the production company of Sir Peter Jackson. Its premises cover some 10,200 m2 (110,000 ft²).

Post production services offered at Park Road cover full sound, picture and VFX services for feature films, television and digital and film restoration.  Full details can be found on the facility's website.

Although the facility was incomplete at the time, the final sound mix for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) took place there. King Kong (2005) was subsequently mixed at the facility; both films won an Academy Award for Best Sound Mixing.

Park Road carried out the restoration of This is New Zealand (1970) for the 2007 New Zealand International Film Festival and more recently They Shall Not Grow Old (2018), and the groundbreaking Disney+ documentary The Beatles: Get Back'' (2021).

In June 2013, Park Road closed down its film processing laboratory, citing the shift to digital capture. A downsize of the lab facilities were relocated and installed at Archives New Zealand.

Rich Karlis

Richard John Karlis (born May 23, 1959) is a former American football placekicker who played nine seasons for the Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings, and Detroit Lions in the National Football League (NFL) from 1982 to 1990. He played college football at the University of Cincinnati and is known as the last of the field goal kickers who kicked barefoot full-time in the NFL.

Karlis is best known for kicking the game-winning field goal in overtime for Denver against the Cleveland Browns in the 1986 AFC Championship Game to reach Super Bowl XXI. He had an uneven performance in Super Bowl XXI, tying a Super Bowl record with a 48-yard field goal, while missing a 23-yard attempt, the shortest missed field goal in Super Bowl history at that time.

In 1989, as a member of the Vikings, he tied a then NFL record by kicking seven field goals in a 23–21 win against the Los Angeles Rams, a record which stood until 2007 when Rob Bironas of the Tennessee Titans broke the record with eight field goals in a game against the Houston Texans.

Karlis made 172 field goals and 283 extra point attempts for 799 points in his career and also holds Super Bowl records for most field goal attempts with six, making three of them and other records including most consecutive field goals made as a rookie with thirteen in 1982.

Karlis is the creator of an instructional video for kickers.

Frank Castillo

Frank Anthony Castillo (April 1, 1969 – July 28, 2013) was an American Major League Baseball starting pitcher. Castillo played for the Chicago Cubs (1991–1997), Colorado Rockies (1997), Detroit Tigers (1998), Toronto Blue Jays (2000), Boston Red Sox (2001–2002, 2004), and Florida Marlins (2005).

Career
A sixth-round pick by the Cubs in the 1987 amateur draft, Castillo made his major league debut in 1991.

On September 25, 1995, in a 7–0 shutout victory over the St. Louis Cardinals at Wrigley Field, Castillo had a no-hitter broken up with two out in the ninth inning by inches. Bernard Gilkey hit a two-strike, line drive that fell in for a hit, despite an all-out attempt by Sammy Sosa to make a diving catch. The ball rolled to the wall for a triple, the only hit Castillo allowed. He struck out a career-high 13, including the first two batters in the ninth. Castillo was trying to become the first Cubs pitcher to throw a no-hitter since Milt Pappas against the San Diego Padres on September 2, 1972, which also was the last no-hitter hurled at Wrigley Field.

His most productive season came in 1995, when he posted career numbers in wins (11), earned run average (ERA) (3.21) and shutouts (2), while matching a career-high 135 strikeouts in 188 innings pitched.

Castillo briefly retired from Major League Baseball after receiving a World Series ring as a member of the 2004 Boston Red Sox. He pitched one game with the Florida Marlins in 2005. He returned to baseball in 2007 with the York Revolution of the independent Atlantic League and again played for them in 2008. He collected an 84–56 record and a 3.72 ERA in 14 minor league seasons spanning 1987–2008.

Death

Castillo drowned in Bartlett Lake in Arizona on July 28, 2013, at the age of 44, while boating near his home with his family. At the time of his death, the last position in baseball he held was pitching coach for the Rookie League Mesa Cubs.

65,535

65535 is the integer after 65534 and before 65536.

It is the maximum value of an unsigned 16-bit integer.

In mathematics 
65535 is the sum of 20 through 215 (20 + 21 + 22 + ... + 215) and is therefore a repdigit in base 2 (1111111111111111), in base 4 (33333333), and in base 16 (FFFF).

It is the ninth number  whose Euler totient has an aliquot sum that is : , and the twenty-eighth perfect totient number equal to the sum of its iterated totients.

65535 is the fifteenth 626-gonal number, the fifth 6555-gonal number, and the third 21846-gonal number. 

65535 is the product of the first four Fermat primes:  65535 = (2 + 1)(4 + 1)(16 + 1)(256 + 1). Because of this property, it is possible to construct with compass and straightedge a regular polygon with 65535 sides (see, constructible polygon).

In computing 
65535 occurs frequently in the field of computing because it is  (one less than 2 to the 16th power), which is the highest number that can be represented by an unsigned 16-bit binary number. Some computer programming environments may have predefined constant values representing 65535, with names like .
In older computers with processors having a 16-bit address bus such as the MOS Technology 6502 popular in the 1970s and the Zilog Z80, 65535 (FFFF16) is the highest addressable memory location, with 0 (000016) being the lowest. Such processors thus support at most 64 KiB of total byte-addressable memory.
In Internet protocols, 65535 is also the number of TCP and UDP ports available for use, since port 0 is reserved.
In some implementations of Tiny BASIC, entering a command that divides any number by zero will return 65535.
In Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac, 65535 is the highest line number that will be displayed.
In HTML, 65535 is the decimal value of the web color Aqua (#00FFFF) .

Robert Antelme

Robert Antelme (5 January 1917, Sartène, Corse-du-Sud – 26 October 1990) was a French writer. During the Second World War he was involved in the French Resistance and deported.

In 1939 he married Marguerite Duras. Their child died at birth in 1942. In the same year, Duras met Dionys Mascolo, who became her lover.

Antelme was arrested and deported on 1 July 1944.  He was at Buchenwald, then Gandersheim. After the end of the war François Mitterrand found Antelme in a terrible state while visiting the Dachau concentration camp and organised his return to Paris; Mitterrand later reported that he had almost not heard Antelme's soft-voiced call to him. Marguerite Duras looked after Antelme and wrote La Douleur about his return. She divorced him soon after he regained his health, but they remained friends.

Works
Antelme later wrote  (1947) depicting his experiences in the camps. The book related his experience of detention in concentration camps. Published in 1947, the book was more than just a memoir of the hardships of a concentration camp, it was also a philosophical reflection on humanity.

Political career
Antelme was a member of the French Communist Party. His political career did not last long as he resigned from the party upon learning of the existence of labor camps in the Soviet Union.

Death
Paralyzed in 1983 by a stroke, he died on 26 October 1990 in the hospital of the Invalides in Paris.

Perineal hernia

Perineal hernia is a hernia involving the perineum (pelvic floor).  The hernia may contain fluid, fat, any part of the intestine, the rectum, or the bladder. It is known to occur in humans, dogs, and other mammals, and often appears as a sudden swelling to one side (sometimes both sides) of the anus.

A common cause of perineal hernia is surgery involving the perineum. Perineal hernia can be caused also by excessive straining to defecate. Atrophy of the levator ani muscle and disease of the pudendal nerve may also contribute to a perineal hernia.

In humans
In humans, a major cause of perineal hernia is perineal surgery without adequate reconstruction.  In some cases, particularly surgeries to remove the coccyx and distal sacrum, adequate reconstruction is very difficult to achieve.  The posterior perineum is a preferred point of access for surgery in the pelvic cavity, particularly in the presacral space.  Surgeries here include repair of rectal prolapse and anterior meningocele, radical perineal prostatectomy, removal of tumors including sacrococcygeal teratoma, and coccygectomy.  Perineal hernia is a common complication of coccygectomy in adults, but not in infants and children (see coccygectomy).

The standard surgical technique for repair of perineal hernia uses a prosthetic mesh, but this technique has a high rate of failure due to insufficient anchoring.  Promising techniques to reduce the rate of failure include an orthopedic anchoring system, a gluteus maximus muscle flap, an acellular human dermis graft, and an acellular pig collagen graft.

In dogs and cats

In dogs, perineal hernia usually is found on the right side.  Most cases are in older intact (not neutered) male dogs (93 percent in one study).  Breeds that may be at risk include Welsh Corgis, Boxers, Australian Kelpies, Boston Terriers, Collies, Dachshunds, Old English Sheepdogs, and Pekingese.  Perineal hernias are rare in female dogs and uncommon in cats.

Dogs with benign prostatic hyperplasia have been found to have increased relaxin levels and suspected subsequent weakening of the pelvic diaphragm.  In cats, perineal hernias are seen most commonly following perineal urethrostomy surgery or secondary to megacolon.  Medical treatment consists of treatment of the underlying disease, enemas, and stool softeners.  Because only about 20 percent of cases treated medically are free of symptoms, surgery is often necessary.  Recurrence is common with or without surgery.

Several surgeries have been described for perineal hernias in dogs.  The current standard involves transposition of the internal obturator muscle.  This technique has a lower recurrence and complication rate than traditional hernia repair.  A new technique uses porcine small intestinal submucosa as a biomaterial to help repair the defect.  This is can also be done in combination with internal obturator muscle transposition, especially when that muscle is weak.

Japanese Automotive Standards Organization

The  is an organization that sets automotive standards in Japan, analogous to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in the United States. JASO also sets standards for grades of oil; the highest grade for two-stroke engines being JASO FD, and JASO MA for four-stroke engines (motorcycles).

JASO is part of the .

M 345 "2-cycle gasoline engine-lubricating oil-performance classification"

It stipulates the lubricating oil used in 2-stroke gasoline engines such as motorcycles, general-purpose machines, and outboard motors, and was established in 1994. For 2-stroke oil, lubricity, cleanliness, exhaust smoke and exhaust system blockage are evaluated by the test methods specified in JASO M 340, M 341, M 342, and M 343, and the grades are FB, FC, and FD. Performance is categorized. FA has been abolished, but the performance classification is positioned as follows.

FA It has the minimum performance for a two-stroke engine.
FB Especially excellent in lubricity and cleanliness compared to FA.
FC Low smoke type with excellent exhaust smoke and exhaust system blockage compared to FB.
FD Improved cleaning performance at high engine temperatures compared to FC.

In addition, FB, FC, and FD of this standard are adopted as EGB, EGC, and EGD, respectively, as ISO standards.

Kawasaki ER-5

The Kawasaki ER-5 is a naked commuter motorcycle produced in Japan by Kawasaki. The bike is powered by a liquid cooled four-stroke DOHC 498 cc engine based on the design used in the GPZ500.

Engine

The Kawasaki ER5 is powered by a 498CC DOHC liquid cooled, in-line, parallel twin engine which produces 49.6BHP or 37kW. The engine is fed by two carburetors, one for each cylinder.

Braking
The ER5 has a twin piston front disk brake and a rear drum brake. Unlike many modern motorcycles, with fixed caliper and floating disk, the ER5 has a fixed disk and floating caliper. 'A' models have a trailing piston which is smaller than the leading piston but the later 'C' models have identical leading and trailing pistons, dramatically improving front braking. 'A' model owners often fit caliper units from 'C' models. As for most motorcycles, another common braking upgrade is to reduce sponginess by replacing the OEM brake hose with a braided brake hose.

Suspension

The ER5 has a non-adjustable female slider front fork, with 36 mm diameter tubes on the A series and 37 mm on the C series. The rear has a dual-shock swingarm with adjustable pre-load.

Controls

The ER5 uses standard motorcycle controls; left hand clutch, right hand front brake and throttle, left foot gear stick, right foot rear brake.

Golden Hinde (mountain)

The Golden Hinde is a mountain located in the Vancouver Island Ranges on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. At , it is the highest peak on the island. The peak is popular with experienced backcountry-climbers, having been first ascended in 1913. The mountain is made of basalt which is part of the Karmutsen Formation.

Geography
The mountain is located near the geographic centre of Vancouver Island, as well as near the centre of  Strathcona Provincial Park, at the head of the Wolf River and to the west of Buttle Lake, about  east of the community of Gold River.

Name origin
The mountain took its name from Sir Francis Drake's ship, the Golden Hind, by an early fur-trading captain, who was reminded of Drake's ship as sunset hit the mountain (which is visible from the west coast of the Island) and in honour of Drake's reputed presence off the coast of the future British Columbia during the explorer's circumnavigation of the globe from 1577 to 1580 (see New Albion).

The present name was not officially conferred until 1938, but this was done after a reference to the peak in a fur-trader's log. The alternative name "The Rooster's Comb" was used by early alpinists because of the mountain's appearance.

The Last Avengers Story

The Last Avengers Story is a two-issue prestige format mini-series from Marvel Comics released in November and December 1995. It was written by Peter David and illustrated by Ariel Olivetti.

Publication history
The series was written in 1986 by Peter David, but it was shelved due to editorial meddling with the plot. David wanted a character-driven story, but his editors wanted a more action driving storyline. The series was revived when it was published as part of the Alterniverse, a subset of the What If? comic book which focused upon darker, bleaker stories.

Plot
The robot Ultron, wanting revenge on the superhero team the Avengers for constant defeats, places a document detailing their downfall in a time capsule. When the time-travelling villain Kang the Conqueror finds the document centuries later, and having been thwarted by the Avengers himself, he travels back to their time to kill the team. The old Avengers, however, have disbanded and been replaced by a less dedicated group. Kang kills the entire team by detonating a nuclear weapon over Avengers Mansion.

With many of the old Avengers such as Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Quicksilver, and the Scarlet Witch either dead or missing for years, Henry Pym reluctantly forms another team. The unit consists of his wife the Wasp; Hawkeye and his wife Mockingbird; the mutant Cannonball; sorcerer Tommy Maximoff (son of the android Vision and the Scarlet Witch); Jessie Wingfoot (daughter of She-Hulk and Wyatt Wingfoot) and two mercenaries called Hotshot and Bombshell, supposed children of the Black Knight and Hercules respectively.

In a flashback, it is shown that Wonder Man and Tigra died in a fight with a surprisingly evil Hulk, who, after Tigra tries to claw his eyes out over his treachery, promptly and brutally tears her in two right in front of her good friend Wonder Man's eyes.  In his rage Wonder Man takes on the Hulk.  After a long battle Hulk is actually able to penetrate Wonder Man's impervious skin, to the shock and amazement of both.  Wonder Man uses the opportunity to grab and hold Hulk as he ignites the radioactive fluid leaking from his chest subsequently killing both of them and blinding Hawkeye.

Together Pym's team confronts Kang—now allied with Ultron, the new Grim Reaper and a creature called Oddball—and in a battle to the death, many of the Avengers are murdered before finally killing all the villains.  Hawkeye discovers that Captain America, who was formerly President of the United States and believed assassinated, is still alive and recuperating, and had watched the entire battle.

Collected editions
The series was collected into a trade paperback () and the premiere hardcover Avengers: First To Last along with the Avengers Classic series ().

Brevik Bridge

Brevik Bridge () is one of two bridges that span the mouth of the Frierfjord. It connects the municipalities of Bamble and Porsgrunn in Vestfold og Telemark county. On the west side, in Bamble, lies the town of Stathelle, while on the east side lies the town of Brevik in Porsgrunn.

 
When the bridge opened in May 1962, it was part of the European route E18 highway. In 1996, the nearby Grenland Bridge () opened, taking over this role. Today, it is part of national road 354.

Protection
In 1997, the Norwegian Public Roads Administration and Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage were ordered to prepare a protection plan for state-owned roadworks in Norway. The final report published in 2002, National Protection Plan for Roads, Bridges, and Road-Related Cultural Heritage, recommended that both Brevik Bridge and Grenland Bridge be protected. On April 17, 2008, the Directorate for Cultural Heritage officially protected the bridges' "construction and details" in accordance with the Cultural Heritage Act.

2013 incident
On Saturday August 3, 2013, Linn Madelen Bråthen, age 33, was found dead on the shores of Sandøya. The police initially assumed the death was the result of a suicide jump from the Brevik Bridge. Several days later the police announced they had charged a police officer with providing false testimony. CCTV footage of the suspect together with Bråthen walking towards the bridge the night she died caused suspicion. The suspect was eventually charged with first-degree murder as the police thought he had pushed or thrown Bråthen off the bridge. Due to a lack of evidence the charge was changed to leaving Bråthen helpless, which lead to her death.

In Lower Telemark district court, the suspect was found guilty and sentenced to 3 years in prison. In the Agder court of appeal he was still found guilty, but the prison time was reduced by 6 months. The suspect tried to get the case heard by the Supreme Court, but they rejected the case.

Comic Potential

Comic Potential by Alan Ayckbourn is a romantic sci-fi comedy play. It is set in a TV studio in the foreseeable future, when low-cost androids (known as "actoids") have largely replaced actors.

Background

The play was Ayckbourn's second exploration into science fiction, the first being Henceforward... This play originated from the idea that the ability to laugh and the ability to fall in love are both characteristics that differentiate humans from androids, as both are illogical from an objective viewpoint, thus raising the question as to whether either of the actions in an android would be considered a malfunction. The comedy also explores the Pygmalion syndrome and competing desires for autonomy and certainty.

Plot summary

Idealistic young writer Adam Trainsmith meets Chandler Tate, a former director of classic comedies, who makes a living by directing a never-ending soap opera. The leading-role android makes a series of mistakes. Supporting role android JC-F31-333, spots his lapses and laughs.

Later on, while Adam is watching old slapstick comedy, JC-F31-333 laughs again. She is afraid that the sense of humour is a production fault. Adam sees it as an advantage. He nicknames his favourite android Jacie and persuades Chandler that they should make a comedy for her.

Regional TV director Carla Pepperbloom threatens to ruin the project. She is jealous of Adam's sympathy for talented Jacie and orders the android's memory wiped. Adam panics and decides to kidnap Jacie. While on the escape, Adam and Jacie fall in love.

Productions

Comic Potential is Ayckbourn's fifty-third full-length play. It was first performed at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough, North Yorkshire in 1998 and received its West End premiere at the Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue in October 1999. Chandler Tate was played by David Soul, and Jacie by Janie Dee, who had created the role in Scarborough. Janie's performance won her the Best Actress category of the London Critics' Circle Theatre Awards (1999), the Evening Standard Awards (1999) and the Laurence Olivier Awards (2000).
