Social Web Senate Revenue Plan A Teacher Tax, Not A “Cadillac” Tax The so called “Cadillac” tax is, in reality, a teacher tax. It taxes plans based on their cost, but not their generosity. As anyone who has bought health insurance will tell you, the biggest factor in determining the cost of insurance is not how generous the coverage is, but the sex, age, and health status of the buyer. As a result professions that tend to employer older, less healthy females–like teaching–will bare the brunt of this excise tax, regardless of how generous or bare bones the policies. There are plenty of ways to redesign the teacher tax to make it an actual “Cadillac” tax. It would need to be indexed to some form of medical inflation to prevent it from hitting “Chevy” plans as time moves forward. You can force all insurers to use true community rating–charge everyone one price regardless of age or health status. It can, instead, base the tax on actuarial value, benefits covered, and/or co-pay design. You can calculate how much a policy would cost if bought by a group with average age and health status, and base the tax on that value. A big problem is that the tax does none of these things. It is based on just a price tag not generosity of the benefits. As a result, it is not a tax on gold-plated insurance policies, but a tax mainly on older Americans, women, people with health problems, and those who work with them. If I had a snowboard shop in Utah that employed only young, healthy people under thirty, I could probably buy the most over-the-top platinum insurance policy–one that covers dental, vision, plastic surgery, and botox with no out of pocket costs–and it would still be below the excise tax limit. On the other hand, if I ran a private school in Maine–one with most of the teachers being woman over 50 with health problems–I would probably find it impossible to find anything but very-low-quality, junk insurance that did not get hit by the excise tax. Even if you support taxing “overly generous” health insurance, you should not support this particular excise tax in the Senate bill. It will not tax generous policies, just expensive policies. Until we force insures to charge everyone the same price regardless of age, the tax will disproportionately hit older, sicker Americans, and not exclusively those with extremely comprehensive insurance. If you want a “Cadillac” tax, at least of the decency to design a tax that just hits plans with generous benefit packages. Don’t give us a poorly designed and discriminatory teacher tax Edsel, and then try to spin it into an Escalade.

“Teacher Tax” Instead of “Cadillac” Tax in Senate Revenue Plan Referred to as a “Cadillac” tax, it actually targets teachers with its cost-based approach rather than focusing on the level of generosity in plans. The determining factors for insurance costs are typically the sex, age, and health condition of the individual buying the plan. Therefore, professions such as teaching, which often employ older, less healthy women, will bear the brunt of this excise tax regardless of the coverage being generous or basic. There are various ways to revise this teacher tax to truly reflect a tax on “Cadillac” plans. It should be adjusted based on medical inflation to avoid impacting standard plans as time goes by. Implementing a true community rating where everyone pays the same price regardless of age or health status could be a solution. Alternatively, the tax could be linked to the actuarial value, covered benefits, or co-pay structure of the plan. Calculating the cost of a policy based on average age and health condition of a group and then levying the tax accordingly is another option. The current tax lacks these features as it primarily focuses on the price rather than the generosity of the benefits. Consequently, it affects older Americans, women, individuals with health issues, and those who work closely with them disproportionately. For instance, owning a snowboard shop in Utah with young, healthy employees allows for purchasing a high-end platinum insurance policy covering various services without exceeding the excise tax threshold. Conversely, managing a private school in Maine where most teachers are older women with health concerns might limit the choice to low-quality insurance plans that are susceptible to the excise tax. Even if one supports taxing “excessively generous” health insurance, this particular excise tax in the Senate bill may not be the ideal solution. It targets costly plans rather than those with generous benefits. Without requiring insurers to charge the same price to everyone regardless of age, the tax will unduly impact older, unhealthier Americans rather than solely those with highly comprehensive insurance plans. To establish a true “Cadillac” tax, it is necessary to devise a tax structure that focuses on plans with substantial benefit offerings, rather than implementing a poorly designed and discriminatory tax that predominantly affects teachers and then trying to portray it as a luxury.

Beskrivelse 2-room-apartment (58m²) with living area and a eating space for four people, fully equipped kitchen, friendly bedroom and balcony (south-east side). A comfortable bed, a large extendable sleep couch including sufficient bed clothes and towels. TV, Midi-set, generous space for luggage and clothes. Full equipped kitchen with electric stove, fridge, dishes from wine glass to frying pan, cutlery, coffee machine, toaster serves the fast breakfast as well as an extended dinner. At first I worried, as I saw a lot of negative comments about WIMDU and I had already paid. However, I was very positively surprised and quickly put at ease: The responses from the website were prompt and professional. The apartment was clean and the interaction with Martin was excellent. Pick up of the keys was friendly and professional. The apartment had everything I needed and was in good order. Location is ideal; very central to public transport, cafe's, shops. The apartment quiet and around the corner there is action, if that is what you like. One minor matter, which is why I give it 4 stars and not 5 (I think 4.5 stars is realistic): The blinds on one window (shower+ toilet) needs replacing. The rest of the apartment is in excellent shape. I can highly recommend Martin and the apartment. We spent 7 nights in the apartment. The location is superb (not in the center, but nice and quiet neighborhood). Gabi was so kind and gave us the keys, even when we got there a bit late. Supermarket, U and S stations and bus, literally 1 min walking. The apartment is spacious for 2 people, clean, and with all the amenities you can need, including extra towels and sheets. The kitchen is big enough to eat in there, and very clean. Bathroom small but enough to feel confortable. The only bad thing I would say about the apartment is that the mattress is old and not so confortable (but we survived). No problems with the wifi and hot water. I would repeat without doubt...but more happily if they change the mattress.....XD

Description: This 2-room apartment (58m²) features a living area and dining space for four individuals, a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy bedroom, and a balcony on the south-east side. Furnished with a comfortable bed, a large pull-out sofa bed with ample bedding and towels, as well as amenities such as TV, Midi-set, and ample storage for luggage and clothing. The kitchen is equipped with an electric stove, fridge, a range of dishes from wine glasses to frying pans, cutlery, coffee maker, and toaster for convenient meal preparation from quick breakfasts to elaborate dinners. Initially concerned by negative reviews of WIMDU after payment, I was pleasantly surprised by the service: prompt and professional website responses, a clean apartment, excellent interaction with Martin, and a smooth, friendly key pickup. The apartment was well-equipped and well-maintained, ideally located near public transport, cafes, and shops. While a minor issue with blinds in one window (shower/toilet) led me to rate it 4 stars instead of 5, overall, it was an excellent experience, and I highly recommend Martin and the apartment. During our 7-night stay, we found the location superb - in a peaceful neighborhood near supermarkets, U and S stations, and a bus stop just a minute's walk away. Gabi graciously provided us with keys, even though we arrived late. The apartment comfortably accommodated two people, was clean, and offered all necessary amenities, including extra towels and sheets. The spacious kitchen was clean and suitable for dining in, while the bathroom, though small, was sufficient for comfort. The only drawback was the aging and somewhat uncomfortable mattress, but overall, we had no issues with wifi or hot water. I would happily stay at this apartment again, especially if the mattress were replaced.

Awesome features not provided to the global rog 2 users. edited September 2020 in ROG Phone 2. Hi Guys ,. If I tell the CN rom which is provided by the asus has more rich features than global rom.. Also the Tencent one is cheaper than the global one why don't we global users get the same.. So you will ask for which features check the screens and know it youreslf. After seeing the above screens doesn't it make your blood boil. So many important features and functions not provided to global users.. Why asus so much difference.. 0. This discussion has been closed.. Hey,. Thank you for your feedback.. Some features or functions can be region and device specific.. They mean to implement some of what's good or done better in CN to WW. So everyone can have the same experience.

Fantastic features not offered to worldwide users of the ROG 2. Updated in September 2020 on the ROG Phone 2. Hello everyone,. I wanted to mention that the Chinese ROM provided by ASUS includes more advanced features compared to the global version. Additionally, the Tencent version is more affordable than the global one. It's frustrating that global users don't have access to the same features. If you're curious about specific features, please refer to the screenshots and see for yourself. Looking at these screenshots, it's disappointing to see so many important features not available to global users. Why is there such a disparity, ASUS? This thread is now closed.. Hello,. We appreciate your feedback.. Certain features may vary by region and device. The goal is to integrate some of the positive aspects from the Chinese version into the worldwide version so that all users can enjoy the same experience.

Metal Fatigue. Metal Fatigue. Metal fatigue is the progressive and localized structural damage that occurs when a material is subjected to cyclic loadings. Objects call you, ask for attention. You hear their rustle and creak, see how they cover with rust and gray dust.. No wonder people named eras of human history by names of metals. During long years metal, a friend and a helper of a man, got the right to have a soul and the right to be tired. In contrast with human tiredness, its fatigue is fatal: railings will be replaced, truck will stay to rot on parking. However, this long and viscous consenescence has its beauty and romance: cracks become a quaint puzzle, rust spots turn into paint strokes. Objects come to life. But alack, no one will notice it..

Metal fatigue refers to the gradual and localized structural damage that occurs when a material is exposed to repetitive loads. Objects reach out for your attention, their sounds and movements revealing the accumulation of rust and dust. It is no surprise that periods of human history have been named after metals. Over the years, metal, a reliable companion to mankind, has gained the right to exhibit weariness and fatigue. Unlike human exhaustion, the wear and tear on metal can lead to dire consequences: railings may need replacement, and a truck left to decay in a parking lot. Yet, this slow and relentless aging process possesses its own charm and allure: cracks transform into intricate patterns, and rust spots resemble artistic brush strokes. In a way, objects spring to life, but sadly, often go unnoticed.

(1) Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an image forming device for achieving image formation by transporting a recording sheet with a toner image having been transferred thereon so that the toner image is thermally fixed onto the recording sheet, and to an image forming method for use in the image forming device. (2) Description of the Related Art There has been proposed a technology in which an image forming device is provided with a sensor that detects a temperature of a fixing roller for a temperature adjustment control during a warm-up such that the image forming device can start executing the image forming operation, the sensor also detects a temperature of the recording sheet after the fixing, and it is determined whether an error has occurred, based on the temperatures of the fixing roller and the recording sheet detected by the sensor (Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-161468). More specifically, when there is an extreme difference between the detected temperatures of the fixing roller and the recording sheet, it is determined that an error has occurred. There has also been proposed a technology in which an image forming device is provided with a temperature sensor at a position more downstream in a recording sheet transport direction than a fixing nip, which is formed between a fixing roller and a pressurizing roller, where the temperature sensor detects the temperature of the fixing roller facing the temperature sensor with a recording sheet transport route running therebetween (Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-198216). When the recording sheet passes between the fixing roller and the temperature sensor, the measuring area of the temperature sensor is blocked by the recording sheet, and the temperature sensor detects the temperature of the recording sheet. This makes it possible to determine whether or not a fixing error occurred, based on the detected temperature of the recording sheet. Meanwhile, it is desired that the image forming device has simplified wiring and less number of constituent parts. Also, for the sake of user's convenience, the image forming device needs to be heated rapidly when it is powered on. This may be accomplished by reducing the thermal capacity of the fixing roller. However, when the thermal capacity of the fixing roller is reduced, the temperature thereof is easy to change. In that case, to stably fix the image onto the recording sheet, the temperature adjustment needs to be controlled more carefully than conventionally. The technology of the Patent Document 2 contributes to the reduction in the number of constituent parts and simplified wiring because with this technology, only one temperature sensor is used to detect the temperatures of the fixing roller and the recording sheet. The Patent Document 2, however, does not have any recitation concerning the temperature adjustment control of the fixing roller. Suppose here that the temperature adjustment control performed during the warm-up as disclosed in the Patent Document 1 is applied to the technology of the Patent Document 2. Then, it would be possible to perform the temperature adjustment control during the warm-up, based on the temperature of the fixing roller. Such an image forming device would be able to detect the temperature of the fixing roller while a recording sheet is not passing between the fixing roller and the temperature sensor during the image forming operation, but would not be able to detect the temperature of the fixing roller while a recording sheet is passing. In such an image forming device, the temperature adjustment control would be available during the warm-up, but a careful and detailed temperature adjustment control would not be available.

(1) Field of the Invention The present invention pertains to an image forming apparatus designed to create images by moving a printing sheet with a toner image transferred onto it for thermal fixation, and an image forming method for use in such an apparatus. (2) Description of the Related Art A technology has been proposed where an image forming apparatus is equipped with a sensor to monitor the temperature of a fixing roller both during warm-up for control purposes and after fixing to check for errors. Another proposed technology involves placing a temperature sensor downstream from the fixing nip to measure the temperatures of the fixing roller and recording sheet. Simplified wiring and fewer parts are desirable in image forming devices. Additionally, rapid heating upon power-up is important for user convenience, but it requires careful temperature control when reducing the fixing roller's thermal capacity. Integrating the temperature control method from one patent into the other could enhance temperature control during warm-up, although detailed control may be limited when a recording sheet is present.

Q: Proof of formula for the the divergence of a totally anti-symmetric rank (2,0) tensor I would like to prove that $$\nabla_\mu T^{\mu \nu} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{|g|}}\partial_\mu\left(\sqrt{|g|}T^{\mu\nu}\right)$$ Given that $T^{\mu\nu}$ is totally anti-symmetric. I know that $$\nabla_\mu T^{\mu\nu} = \partial_\mu T^{\mu\nu} + \Gamma^{\mu}_{\mu\rho}T^{\rho\nu} + \Gamma^{\nu}_{\mu\rho}T^{\mu\rho}$$ and that $$\Gamma^{\mu}_{\mu\rho} = \partial_\mu \ln\sqrt{|g|}$$. So my idea is to eliminate the term $\Gamma^{\nu}_{\mu\rho}T^{\mu\rho}$ and apply the above formula, however I am having difficulties to do so. I suspect I have to take advantage of the anti-symmetry of $T^{\mu\nu}$. Any help in working this out would be appreciated. A: You are right in thinking that the antisymmetry of $T^{\mu\nu}$ is the key. The term you want to eliminate can be rewritten as follows: $$ \Gamma^\nu_{\mu\rho}T^{\mu\rho} = \Gamma^\nu_{\rho\mu}T^{\rho\mu} = \Gamma^\nu_{\mu\rho}T^{\rho\mu} = \Gamma^\nu_{\mu\rho}\left(-T^{\mu\rho}\right) = -\Gamma^\nu_{\mu\rho}T^{\mu\rho}, $$ which implies that this term vanishes. For clarity: I relabelled the summation indices, used the symmetry of $\Gamma^\nu_{\mu\rho}$ (as I assume you are working with the Levi-Civita connection), and used the antisymmetry of $T^{\mu\rho}$. I take it from your question that you see how to prove the formula from there.

Proof of formula for the divergence of a totally anti-symmetric rank (2,0) tensor To prove the formula $$\nabla_\mu T^{\mu \nu} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{|g|}}\partial_\mu\left(\sqrt{|g|}T^{\mu\nu}\right),$$ for a totally anti-symmetric tensor $T^{\mu\nu}$, we start with the expression $$\nabla_\mu T^{\mu\nu} = \partial_\mu T^{\mu\nu} + \Gamma^{\mu}_{\mu\rho}T^{\rho\nu} + \Gamma^{\nu}_{\mu\rho}T^{\mu\rho}.$$ Given that $\Gamma^{\mu}_{\mu\rho} = \partial_\mu \ln\sqrt{|g|},$ our goal is to eliminate the term $\Gamma^{\nu}_{\mu\rho}T^{\mu\rho}$ utilizing the anti-symmetry of $T^{\mu\nu}$. This can be achieved by rephrasing this term as $$\Gamma^\nu_{\mu\rho}T^{\mu\rho} = -\Gamma^\nu_{\mu\rho}T^{\mu\rho},$$ which ultimately leads to the term vanishing. The approach leverages relabelling of summation indices, the symmetry of $\Gamma^\nu_{\mu\rho}$, and the antisymmetry property of $T^{\mu\rho}$.

Vibration analysis. The transfer function Hc(jω, φ, rc) and geometry measured by laser scanning at points r with sufficient resolution on the radiator’s surface are the basis for a mechanical analysis. The figure below shows the principle of modal analysis performed on the loudspeaker cone using the accumulated acceleration level AAL which summarizes the total mechanical vibration on the radiator. The AAL is identical with the SPL at low frequency where the radiator vibrates as a rigid body.. The natural frequencies, the loss factor and the mode shape propagating in radial and circumferential direction are the basis for diagnostics (e.g. finding rocking modes) and practical improvements (e.g. applying additional damping and changing the material and geometry)..

Analysis of vibrations is conducted using the transfer function Hc(jω, φ, rc) and geometry obtained through laser scanning at points r on the surface of the radiator with adequate detail. This forms the foundation for mechanical assessment. Modal analysis is illustrated in the figure below, depicting the evaluation of the loudspeaker cone's mechanical vibration through the cumulative acceleration level (AAL). This metric correlates with the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) at lower frequencies, where the radiator behaves as a rigid body. Natural frequencies, loss factor, and mode shapes in radial and circumferential directions serve as the building blocks for diagnostic purposes (such as identifying rocking modes) and implementing practical enhancements (like introducing additional damping and altering materials and geometry). The KLIPPEL R&D SYSTEM is employed for development, with examples including measurements on Telecommunication Drivers, Microspeakers, and Headphones (AN 24) and Cone Vibration and Radiation Diagnostics (AN 31).

The Statue of Liberty ArrivesIt was on this day in 1885 that the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York Harbor albeit in pieces packed in various crates. It is estimated that 200,000 people lined up on the docks to see the copper statue’s arrival. Unfortunately, the concrete pedestal for which to hold Lady Liberty, aka “Liberty Enlightening the World,” was finished until April of 1886. After months of construction work, the statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from “the people of France” and designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi. It was built by Gustave Eiffel who had a knack for building monuments. The robed figure represents the Roman goddess, Libertas who holds a torch in her right hand above her head while holding a tabula ansata inscribed with Roman numerals ("JULY IV MDCCLXXVI") which means July, 4 1776, the date of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. Down at her feet lies a broken chain representing freedom..

The Statue of Liberty arrived in New York Harbor on this day in 1885, but it came in parts packed in crates. Approximately 200,000 individuals gathered on the docks to witness the copper statue's arrival. The concrete pedestal necessary to support Lady Liberty, also known as "Liberty Enlightening the World," was not completed until April of 1886. Following several months of construction, the statue was officially dedicated on October 28, 1886. A gift from the people of France, the Statue of Liberty was designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and constructed by Gustave Eiffel, known for his expertise in monument building. The statue depicts Libertas, the Roman goddess, holding a torch in her right hand above her head and a tabula ansata inscribed with Roman numerals ("JULY IV MDCCLXXVI"), symbolizing the date of the U.S. Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. At her feet lies a broken chain, symbolizing freedom.

While at the Television Critic's Association today, head of Netflix content Ted Sarandos told the audience, including Variety's Laura Prudom, that Marvel's Jessica Jones will debut by the end of 2015 and that ideally there would be a new Marvel series every six months. Once all four of the series have been launched, they will crossover in the Defenders, but some series will have multiple seasons before that happens as is the case with Marvel's Daredevil. Also there appeared to be a quick glimpse of Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones in the sizzle reel. Hopefully Netflix will release that to the internet soon.

While attending the Television Critic's Association event today, Ted Sarandos, head of Netflix content, informed the audience, including Variety's Laura Prudom, that Marvel's Jessica Jones is scheduled to premiere by the end of 2015, with the goal of introducing a new Marvel series every six months. Once all four series are up and running, they will come together in the Defenders crossover event, although some shows may have multiple seasons prior to the crossover, similar to Marvel's Daredevil. A sneak peek of Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones was briefly shown in the Netflix sizzle reel, and it is hoped that Netflix will make this footage available online soon.

The bergamot in Earl Grey is from a different plant than the bee balm but i checked a bottle of Listerine and thymol from the wild bergamot(bee balm)was a main ingredient.. The rural recycling places around Castlewood Va.where our family farm is have long lists of the native herbs they will buy along with current prices.I used to wonder why some trees were bare of bark til I learned the bark(slippery elm tree)was a main ingred in birth control pills.. It is amazing how muchmoney you can make diggin certain herbs but it is also disgusting to see the greed of some of the folks who dig seng and other herbs out of season and on land they do not have permission to be on.. Cumberlandgal has a bunch of smoky mtn flowers on her photo site along with info on them.The marsh in Alcoa near McDonalds has a bunch of cool and rare plants that she tells about.. Great post David as usual,it is cool that you also stop and smell the roses along the creek.

The bergamot used in Earl Grey tea comes from a different plant than bee balm. After checking a bottle of Listerine, it was found that thymol from wild bergamot (bee balm) is a key ingredient. Recycling centers in the rural areas near Castlewood, Virginia, where our family farm is located, provide extensive lists of native herbs they are willing to purchase along with their current prices. I used to be curious about why some trees had no bark until I discovered that bark from the slippery elm tree is a primary ingredient in birth control pills. It's remarkable how profitable it can be to harvest certain herbs, but it is troubling to witness the greed of individuals who gather ginseng and other herbs out of season and on unauthorized land. Cumberlandgal features numerous photos of Smoky Mountain flowers on her website, along with detailed information about them. At the marsh in Alcoa near McDonald's, there are several fascinating and rare plants that she describes. Your post, as always, is excellent, David. It's wonderful that you take the time to appreciate the beauty of nature by stopping to admire the roses along the creek.

Catch a route 11 tram to the end of the line in Preston and you will find JS Grey Reserve, a nice if unremarkable neighbourhood park. There is plenty of grassy open space on which to fling a frisbee, trees for shade, kids' playground, a barbecue, even a small rose garden. It's well used by locals, but in recent months they've watched on as a big chunk of it has disappeared behind temporary fencing and a hulking grey electrical substation has been built. Preston folk are not the only ones who have had to give up a bit of public space in recent times for new tram infrastructure. About a dozen new substations have gone up across inner Melbourne, and while there is nothing pretty about them, and some communities have complained, it's clear the city needs them. They pump extra juice into the tram network, which is required to power the 70 large new E-Class trams that are being rolled into service at the rate of one a month. The E-Class are the part of an investment of almost $1.4 billion in boosting the capacity of the tram system, without which Melbourne's public transport network would not have a hope of keeping up with the runaway pace of population growth. Melbourne's tram patronage surged 12 per cent to carry more than 200 million people last year, a figure that puts them in the same ballpark as the city's trains (which carried 233 million), and closer to becoming the backbone of the city's public transport system.

Take a route 11 tram to the last stop in Preston and you'll arrive at JS Grey Reserve, a pleasant yet unassuming local park. The area offers ample open grassy spaces for playing frisbee, shaded by trees, a children's playground, barbecue facilities, and even a small rose garden. Local residents have noticed a significant portion of the park fenced off recently, with a new large grey electrical substation being constructed. This trend of sacrificing public space for tram infrastructure is occurring in various parts of inner Melbourne, as around twelve new substations have been erected to supply power to the expanding fleet of 70 E-Class trams being introduced. Despite their unattractive appearance and community objections, these substations play a vital role in enhancing the tram network's capacity. The significant investment of nearly $1.4 billion in upgrading the tram system is essential for Melbourne's public transport to accommodate the rapid population growth. Tram usage in Melbourne increased by 12% last year, carrying over 200 million passengers, indicating their rising importance alongside the city's trains and potentially solidifying their position as the primary mode of public transportation.

Mar. 28. How The 5 Tons Solid Gold Buddha Was Found…By. The Golden Buddha wasn’t found in its original glory like it is now. Hundreds of years ago the Buddha was all covered up with cement and no one knew that the cement Buddha had a big Golden Buddha hidden in it until one of the pieces of the cement fell off.. The pieces of the cement or the Buddha’s ‘stone structure’ can be seen in this next video. My tour guide explained it in her own way so its up to you to really interpret what she was saying.. LOL…. Related Posts You Might Be Interested To Know... Facebook comments:

On March 28th, the discovery of the 5-ton solid gold Buddha was revealed. The original statue was obscured by a layer of cement for centuries, concealing the magnificent Golden Buddha within. It wasn't until a portion of the cement chipped off that the true beauty was unveiled. To explore this further, watch the accompanying video showcasing the remnants of the cement covering the Buddha's stone structure. Listen to the unique perspective shared by the tour guide to fully grasp the significance of this finding. Facebook comments on related posts may also intrigue you.

[Diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations for sexually transmitted diseases: Genital herpes]. TREATMENT OF THE INITIAL INFECTION OR FIRST CLINICAL EPISODE OF GENITAL HERPES: An initial infection or first clinical episode of genital herpes is treated with oral aciclovir 200mg×5/d for 5 to 10 days depending on clinical status. The recommended dosage for valaciclovir is 1g×2/d and treatment duration is identical to that for aciclovir. TREATMENT OF HERPES RECURRING DURING PREGNANCY: There are no studies of the efficacy of antiviral therapy on the symptoms of genital recurring during pregnancy. However, initial anti-viral treatment using aciclovir or valaciclovir may be given where warranted by symptoms (i.e. duration and severity of symptoms). Valaciclovir may be used instead (equivalent efficacy but better safety data for aciclovir). Valaciclovir may be given at a dosage of 1×500mg b.i.d. p.o. for 5 days. PROPHYLACTIC ANTI-VIRAL TREATMENT DURING PREGNANCY: In female patients presenting an initial infection or infection recurring during pregnancy, although there is no demonstrated benefit for prophylactic treatment in reducing the risk of neonatal herpes, anti-viral prophylaxis is recommended after 36 WA (weeks' amenorrhoea) to limit the need for Caesarean section due to herpetic lesions. The recommended antivirals are aciclovir at a dosage of 400mg t.i.d p.o. or valaciclovir at a dosage of 500mg b.i.d. p.o. until delivery.

Treatment for the first episode of genital herpes involves a 5 to 10-day course of oral aciclovir 200mg taken five times a day. Valaciclovir can also be used at a dose of 1g twice a day for the same duration. For recurrent herpes during pregnancy, aciclovir or valaciclovir can be used based on symptom severity, with valaciclovir potentially offering better safety. A dosage of 1×500mg twice a day for 5 days is recommended. Prophylactic antiviral treatment in pregnant women with herpes is advised after 36 weeks to reduce the need for Caesarean delivery due to herpetic lesions. Aciclovir (400mg three times a day) or valaciclovir (500mg twice a day) can be taken orally until delivery.

Conquest and destruction reign ideally suited! can we have the heart to examine ourselves truthfully and be who we actually are? Please do as you're keen on. Literary resources of this paintings are as diversified as Sufi Sages Rumi and Hafiz in addition to the Linguistic pupil John M. Allegro. Farming of caliber meals is additionally reviewed as an advantage taking a look at the good paintings of Bob Cannard etc. :) The mechanized infantry is among the least-studied parts of the U. S. Army's wrestle fingers, and its so much visable piece of apparatus, the Bradley combating automobile, is likely one of the military's so much arguable items of apparatus. This learn lines the assumption of mechanized infantry from its roots within the early armored operations of worldwide warfare I, via its fruition in global warfare II, to its drastic transformation in keeping with the specter of a nuclear, organic, and chemical battlefield. This edited e-book examines the East German international intelligence carrier (Hauptverwaltung Aufklärung, or HVA) as a old challenge, overlaying politics, scientific-technical and army intelligence and counterintelligence. The individuals develop the normal view of East German overseas intelligence as driven by the inter-German clash to include its focusing on of the United States, northern eu and Scandinavian nations, highlighting parts that experience formerly acquired scant cognizance, like scientific-technical and army intelligence. A examine of postwar schooling in Japan that is meant to make clear the improvement of jap academic coverage. significant academic files are integrated, a few taken from files of the yankee profession forces and others being unique translations from jap sources. Many feminists have believed that executive is the traditional best friend of the women's flow. besides the fact that, this ebook demonstrates that the other is right: executive has lengthy been a big oppressor of girls and their rights. Feminism isn't really a brand new political strength; its origins may be traced again to the abolitionist stream sooner than the Civil battle.

Get a copy of The Seeing Song of Alan - 2014 by Alan Ritter in PDF format. This work explores the fundamental aspects of language in society today. Can we honestly reflect on our true selves amidst dominance and destruction? Encouragement is given to explore various literary influences such as Sufi Sages Rumi and Hafiz, and Linguistic scholar John M. Allegro. Additionally, the promotion of high-quality food production is highlighted, referencing the work of Bob Cannard, among others. The mechanized infantry division of the U. S. Army, particularly the controversial Bradley fighting vehicle, is examined starting from its early armored operations in World War I, through World War II, and its evolution in response to modern warfare threats. This book delves into the historical complexities of the East German foreign intelligence service (Hauptverwaltung Aufklärung, or HVA), covering a wide array of intelligence activities including politics, scientific-technical, military intelligence, and counterintelligence efforts. It expands the narrative beyond the traditional focus on inter-German conflicts to include espionage operations targeting the United States, northern European, and Scandinavian countries. An analysis of postwar education policies in Japan shedding light on the evolution of Japanese educational practices. The book includes significant educational documents sourced from American occupation forces' archives and original Japanese texts. Contrary to popular belief, this book argues that government has historically been a suppressor of women's rights rather than a natural ally of the women's movement. It traces the roots of feminism back to the abolitionist movement before the Civil War, highlighting government oppression as a significant obstacle in the struggle for gender equality.

Andy Burnham’s flagship ‘A Bed Every Night’ shelter has permanently closed fewer than three months after opening.. The news comes just 48 hours after Manchester Council approved spending £1.2m on fountains - enough to house every single rough sleeper in Manchester for a year, along with a hot meal, warm shower and access to a support worker... “But just days prior, Labour also wasted £1.2m on revamping failing fountains - that's enough to house every single rough sleeper for an entire year.. "Labour must stop wasting money; no more vanity projects, no more fountains, no more comfy chairs, no more senior pay rises - nothing - all this waste has to stop!. “It’s not just gross incompetence and a complete lack of priorities, or even just a national embarrassment, but a critical and consistent failure of a system that simply doesn't care."

Andy Burnham’s main initiative 'A Bed Every Night' shelter has shut down permanently less than three months after opening. This announcement follows Manchester Council's recent decision to allocate £1.2m for fountains, an amount that could have accommodated all rough sleepers in Manchester for a year, providing them with shelter, meals, showers, and support services. However, just days earlier, the Labour party also spent £1.2m on renovating failing fountains instead of addressing homelessness. There are calls to stop squandering funds on unnecessary projects like fountains, luxurious items, or increased salaries for senior officials. This pattern is not simply a matter of incompetence or skewed priorities, but a fundamental failure of a system that lacks compassion and accountability.

Background. The project is a continuation of the Safer Cities pilot project in Abidjan in the three municipalities of Adjame, Treichville and Yopougon from 1998-2001, with the financial support of UNDP. This pilot initiative resulted in the development of a culture of prevention among the population, local authorities and key stakeholders, need to be replicated in other municipalities of Abidjan. The project, in its initial phase, also played an important role in peaceful conflict resolution in the three municipalities covered. This was significant considering the difficult political and social conditions experienced by Cote d’Ivoire since 2001. It is within this context that Belgian Technical Cooperation and UNDP have given their support to the continuation of the project to the Metropolitan area of Abidjan (13 municipalities). The objectives of the project are to:

Context. Building on the Safer Cities pilot project in Abidjan conducted from 1998-2001 in the municipalities of Adjame, Treichville, and Yopougon with funding from UNDP, this project aims to replicate the culture of prevention established among the local population and authorities in other areas of Abidjan. The project's early phase also played a significant role in promoting peaceful conflict resolution in the mentioned municipalities, which was crucial given the challenging political and social environment in Cote d’Ivoire since 2001. Consequently, Belgian Technical Cooperation and UNDP are supporting the extension of the project to the Metropolitan area of Abidjan (13 municipalities). The project's objectives include:

The Banking Crisis: Grid, Group and the State of the Debate. Abstract. The banking crisis and the recession it induced provide a salient backdrop to domestic and international politics.2TheInternational Monetary Fund (IMF 2010)estimates that total banking losses between 2008 and 2010 exceeded US$2.3 trillion. This article uses grid-group theory to review the existing literature on the causes of the banking crisis and, in doing so, distinguishes between hierarchical, individualist, egalitarian and fatalist accounts of what went wrong and of what needs to be done to prevent another crisis from occurring. It is argued that the existing reform agenda is underpinned by a hierarchical analysis of the causes of the crisis and that this risks narrowing the support base for the reform process.

Title: Understanding the Banking Crisis: Examining Grid, Group, and Debate Perspectives Abstract: Against the backdrop of domestic and global politics, the banking crisis and subsequent economic downturn have been significant. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF 2010), banking losses from 2008 to 2010 surpassed US$2.3 trillion. This study employs grid-group theory to analyze the current body of literature on the origins of the banking crisis, distinguishing between hierarchical, individualistic, egalitarian, and fatalistic perspectives on the causes of the crisis and necessary preventive measures. It suggests that the current reform efforts are primarily based on a hierarchical interpretation of the crisis's roots, potentially limiting the broad support for reform initiatives.

I have an awesome number of Vapcell’s in for review, and this is the first of the bunch. These are unprotected flat top 14500 cells, and here I’m testing two of them (as always). 14500 cells are the same size as AA cells, but don’t always work in those lights, due to the higher Li-Ion voltage. As always, click for bigger images!!! Price I received these directly from Vapcell. I don’t think Vapcell sells direct, but the best price I’ve seen is around $3.50 per cell. Not a bad deal, really. Short Review These cells test well. They perform consistently, and perform higher than their rated 3A discharge. Long Review Package Two cells ship in a Vapcell branded box. Inside that bigger box, are two smaller boxes, each containing a cell in a plastic zip top baggie. Separately I received a plastic case (with a different set of cells), but it’s also feasible that these would ship in this 4-up plastic box. Build Quality No complaints on these cells! The wrapper is a nice gold color – very distinguished. It’s put on perfectly, and also includes the requisite information about the cell. Size I measure these at 14mm x 49mm. That’s just what they should be as “14500” cells – remember the first two digits are the diameter in mm: “14.” The next two digits are the length in mm: “50.” And the final digit indicates it’s a cylindrical cell. Testing I’ve tried to keep the scales similar, so over time the charts will be generally comparable. For these 14500 cells, which broadly have a lower capacity than what I generally test, these charts have a scale that’s possibly a little … off. Still, all the info is there and visible! Look at the legend if you have any specific questions. Discharge tests These cells aren’t rated above 3A for continuous discharge. I tested one at 4A just to see what would give, and the cell seemed to handle it just fine. It also means there’s no overcurrent protection above 3A, which is certainly something to be aware of. You might think there’s no need for >3A output on a cell like this, but I have a little hotrod single cell triple that pulls around 8A on startup, and settles around 6A. So the need is there. (Also this cell runs that light just fine!) Capacity Energy Bounce “Bounce back” is what the cell voltage does when the cell rests after a discharge. Interestingly, after heavy discharge rates, the cell bounces back higher. This corresponds to a discharge amount of less energy, and does mean that there’s energy left in the cell. So if I selected the cell with the highest bounce back (ie the cell that was discharged at the highest current), then discharged it to 2.8V at 0.2A, I’d still find that there was a lot of energy still in the cell. And I have finally figured out what I think it so interesting about “bounce.” A poorly performing cell will bounce back higher on high discharges. That’s because the IR is higher, and because the cell performs much worse under high loads. So a good performing cell (like this one) will bounce back much less because it’s much more capable of high discharge. And we can see that here. This cell is capable well past the tested 20A, and so at 20A much more of the energy is used from the cell. Hence less bounce. I don’t really have anyone else telling me that, so I could be grossly wrong. Or maybe I just proposed a new metric for cell quality. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Charge test Power, Constant Internal Resistance Most often (read: always), internal resistance is mentioned as a spot value. In truth, the IR changes over time. Due to cell age and cell heat among other things. A graph of IR is interesting because it can show, for example, when a cell begins to “die” – at which point the remaining energy will be “harder” to extract. This is when the IR spikes. In the graph below, that’s around 750-800mAh. These graphs are also useful for determining if a cell would be good for a hot-rod flashlight, for example. Conclusion These are nice little cells, and good performers. Up Next I have flashlights, cells, chargers, and stuff to review! I have the button top version of this 14500 Vapcell to review too – could be done by Thursday. Just a bunch of items to review! Stay tuned! Notes These cells were provided by Vapcell for review. I was not paid to write this review. This content originally appeared at zeroair.org. Please visit there for the best experience!

I have a great number of Vapcell batteries to evaluate, and this is the first one among them. These are unprotected flat top 14500 batteries, and in this review, I am testing two of them as usual. 14500 batteries share the same size as AA batteries, but they may not always be compatible with devices designed for AA batteries due to the higher Li-Ion voltage. Price I received these batteries directly from Vapcell. Although Vapcell may not sell directly, the best price I have found is approximately $3.50 per battery, which is a good deal. Brief Review These batteries perform well, consistently exceeding their rated 3A discharge capacity. Detailed Review Packaging A Vapcell branded box contains two batteries. Inside the main box, you will find two smaller boxes, each containing a battery in a plastic zip-top bag. I also received a plastic case separately (containing a different set of batteries), but it is possible that these batteries could be shipped in a 4-battery plastic box. Quality No issues with the build quality of these batteries! The gold-colored wrapper is aesthetically pleasing, perfectly applied, and contains the necessary information about the battery. Size By measurement, these batteries are 14mm x 49mm, which is consistent with their "14500" designation - where "14" represents the diameter in mm, "50" represents the length in mm, and the final digit signifies a cylindrical cell. Testing Efforts were made to maintain similar scales for comparison in the charts. Since 14500 batteries generally have lower capacities compared to what is usually tested, the chart scales may be slightly off. Nevertheless, all relevant information is presented clearly. Refer to the legend for specific details. Discharge Tests Although these batteries are not rated for continuous discharge above 3A, one battery was tested at 4A without issues. This lack of overcurrent protection above 3A should be noted. Capacity Energy Bounce "Bounce back" refers to the battery voltage rebound after a discharge. Notably, higher discharge rates result in a higher bounce back, indicating residual energy in the cell. The bounce back can be a useful metric for assessing cell performance. Charge Test Steady Power Internal Resistance Internal resistance can vary over time, reflective of factors such as cell age and temperature. Monitoring the IR can provide insights into the cell's performance and remaining energy capacity. Conclusion These Vapcell batteries are reliable performers and well-suited for various applications. Next Review I have upcoming reviews on flashlights, batteries, chargers, and more! Stay tuned for the assessment of the button top version of the 14500 Vapcell, possibly by Thursday. Disclosure These batteries were provided by Vapcell for review purposes, and no compensation was received for this review. For the best experience, visit zeroair.org for the original content.

It has been known that there are numerous examples of footwear mechanism actuated by means of heel-based pressure, applied when the user steps down. The most common being a weight-based pump or any pumps stowed inside the heel/sole in general of ventilating footwear. The sole or the heel must be thickened to give room for the pump. This affects the appearance of the footwear. The size, volume and sometimes, the shape of the pump are substantially limited by the shape, size and volume of the heel/sole. Also, this type of footwear is known to be uncomfortable and affects the stability of the footwear because of the vertical heel movement required to actuate the mechanism. Thus in the few commercialized designs, the pump has been made to be quite small embedded within the sole thus limiting the negative impacts on stability but also adversely affecting the ventilating abilities of the pump as well. Ventilating footwear with pumps actuated by substantially linear drive mechanism is available. However, the limitation on the shape, size and volume of the pump remains substantial as long as the pump is stowed inside the sole.

Numerous examples of footwear systems are activated by applying pressure to the heel when the user steps down. Common mechanisms include weight-based pumps or pumps located within the heel or sole of ventilated shoes. Thickening the sole or heel to accommodate the pump alters the footwear's appearance and limits the size, volume, and shape of the pump. This type of footwear is often uncomfortable and affects stability due to the vertical movement needed to activate the mechanism. Some designs embed a small pump within the sole to minimize stability issues, but this can reduce the pump's ventilation capabilities. Although footwear with linear drive mechanism-activated pumps exists, constraints on pump size, shape, and volume persist as long as the pump remains inside the sole.

J.B. Pritzker gave another $7 million to his own gubernatorial campaign Friday. Which, doing the math, is roughly the equivalent of me spending $700 on a plumber. Except it isn’t, my finances being a lot more close to the bone than his. I miss $700 more than he misses $7 million. We both get value for our money. I get a new boiler pump. And Pritzker airs TV commercials like the one I saw Monday night, a poignant spot with melancholy piano music and J.B. talking about his mother, who died of alcoholism. A medley of emotion, trying to humanize the billionaire. It works. He comes off as very lifelike. Which is more than what could be done for Gov. Bruce Rauner, who couldn’t be rendered human if Leo Burnett and J. Walter Thompson rose up from the grave and gave him the head-to-toe buffing makeover that Dorothy Gale gets upon arrival at the Emerald City. OPINION No, the trouble is the whole notion of dueling tycoons. The phone rang. It was Dan Biss, who is also running for governor but without benefit of an endless geyser of money fountaining over his head. We talked about nonpolitical things — who does that? — and laughed, for so long that I had to finally drop the hint: This is fun but I have work to do. What exactly is on your mind? The race, of course. “This has become a national referendum on whether you can run for office as a normal person at all,” he said. “In the era of Trump we have to decide if you can run for office if you’re not a billionaire. If you can’t run unless you are financing yourself, that is terrifying for democracy.” “Terrifying for Democracy” could be the heading for our era in future public school textbooks. Assuming, of course, we have public schools. Or textbooks. Or a future. I thought of quibbling at Biss, with his Harvard degree and MIT doctorate, casting himself as a regular joe. But I guess on the Pritzker scale he is. We do seem to be at a watershed moment when it comes to our nation’s long slide back into the Gilded Age, when the rich crowned themselves in laurel branches and ate banquets on horseback while the poor sold matches in the street. Here’s the part I don’t understand. You would think, being set for life, with enough to endow a dozen generations, the rich would care about the world they are leaving behind. Care about the Earth, about our social framework, which starts to hollow out if 99 percent are in squirming misery. The Republican policy now is a recipe for the 1 percent waking up one morning being tarred and feathered and loaded into a tumbril. “You would think the super rich, who are obsessed with putting their names on stuff, would care about climate change,” Biss said. “The Koch brothers want to destroy the world so they have $90 billion next year instead of $70 billion.” He quoted venture capitalist Nick Hanauer, who wrote in 2014: “If we don’t do something to fix the glaring inequities in this economy, the pitchforks are going to come for us. No society can sustain this kind of rising inequality.” Pitchforks. I wouldn’t have believed it before. But we got Rauner. And we got Trump. “Does it really have to be this way?” Biss asked. “Are we going to be told by Democrats that the only path forward is to pick our own billionaire?” Isn’t it? “I present the public a credible alternative,” he said. “Otherwise, we’ll have 17 billionaires having a meeting every four years to decide who will be governor.” Someone — I’m not saying who, to throw certain readers off the trail — suggested that voters are backing the wealthy and applauding like seals as the rich tear down the social safety net because they are, for want of a better word, morons. “I don’t agree that people are morons,” Biss said. “People are quick to gravitate to arguments. I think: ‘Oh my God, Donald Trump is president and he’s terrible. Bruce Rauner is the governor and he’s terrible. Maybe inexperienced billionaires aren’t the way to go.'” Maybe not.

J.B. Pritzker donated an additional $7 million to his own campaign for governor on Friday, equivalent to my spending $700 on a plumber. The difference lies in our financial situations, with $700 being more significant to me than $7 million is to him. While I benefit from a new boiler pump, Pritzker invests in TV commercials to humanize himself. This contrasts with Gov. Bruce Rauner, who struggles to portray a relatable image. The issue at hand is the prominence of wealthy candidates in the political landscape, exemplified by the current gubernatorial race. Dan Biss, another candidate, highlights the concern that politics is becoming dominated by billionaires, posing a threat to democracy. The level of inequality and disconnect between the rich and societal issues is alarming, as it could lead to unrest and upheaval among the general population. The question arises: should voters continue to support billionaire candidates, or seek a more diverse range of options?

Oxygen therapy in hospitalized patients: the impact of local guidelines. To study the influence of local guidelines on the behaviour of nursing and medical staff to optimize the oxygen use in patients admitted to hospital. Study was performed in a district teaching hospital. Guidelines produced suggested indications, monitoring, use of arterial blood gases (ABGs) and advice on when to stop oxygen therapy. The guidelines were implemented both verbally and in writing to all the nursing and medical staff before and after an audit studying the oxygen use by patients on medical and surgical wards. Ninety patients were included in pre-intervention audit and 59 in post-intervention study. Oxygen prescription did not change with guidelines 30% (27/90) vs. 32% (19/59). Nurses administered oxygen better 95% (18/19) vs. 70% (19/27) (P = 0.043) and monitored more frequently using oximetry 91% (54/59) vs. 69% (62/90) (P = 0.001) after the guidelines. Patients with airway disease had their ABGs checked more frequently 87% (14/16) vs. 65% (15/23) on admission and after they started oxygen inhalation 68% (11/16) vs. 34% (8/23). The guidelines disseminated verbally and in writing had no influence on oxygen prescription but improved the practice of close monitoring of patients with airway disease. Nurses improved their performance of both administration of oxygen according to the prescribed dose and monitoring with oximetry.

The study examined how local guidelines impacted the oxygen treatment of hospitalized patients by observing the actions of nursing and medical staff in a district teaching hospital. Guidelines provided recommendations on when to use oxygen, how to monitor patients, when to use arterial blood gases (ABGs), and when to discontinue oxygen therapy. Both nursing and medical staff were briefed on the guidelines through verbal and written communication, before and after an audit of patients receiving oxygen on medical and surgical wards. The audit included 90 patients before the intervention and 59 patients after. Despite the guidelines, the percentage of oxygen prescriptions remained similar (30% before vs. 32% after). However, nurses improved in administering oxygen correctly (95% vs. 70%) and monitoring patients with oximetry more frequently (91% vs. 69%) post-guidelines. Patients with airway disease had their ABGs checked more often upon admission (87% vs. 65%) and during oxygen therapy (68% vs. 34%) with the implementation of the guidelines. While the guidelines did not affect oxygen prescription, they did enhance the practice of closely monitoring patients with airway disease, and nurses improved in both administering oxygen as prescribed and monitoring with oximetry.

SWARMS. What is a honey bee swarm?.. What makes a honey bee colony swarm?. Overcrowding and congestion in the nest are factors which predispose colonies to swarm. The presence of an old queen and a mild winter also contribute to the development of the swarming impulse. Swarming can be controlled by a skilled beekeeper; however, not all colonies live in hives and have a human caretaker.. When do honey bees swarm?. The tendency to swarm is usually greatest when bees increase their population rapidly in late spring and early summer. In Colorado, this would be in May and June.. Are honey bee swarms dangerous?. No - honey bees exhibit defensive behavior only in the vicinity of their nest. Defensive behavior is needed to protect their young and food supply. A honey bee swarm has neither young nor food stores and will not exhibit defensive behavior unless unduly provoked.

Honey bee swarms occur due to factors like overcrowding and an aging queen in the colony. The presence of these conditions, along with a mild winter, can trigger the swarming instinct. Skilled beekeepers can control swarming, but not all colonies have human caretakers. Swarms are most likely in late spring and early summer when bee populations are rapidly growing. Honey bee swarms are not typically dangerous as they lack young or food stores to protect, and defensive behavior is only shown near their nest.

The effect of micronized purified flavonoid fraction on the prevention of testicular pathologies in adolescent rats with experimentally induced varicocele. We investigated the effect of micronized purified flavonoid fraction on the prevention of testicular pathologies following varicocele induction. A total of 66 adolescent (6-week-old) male Wistar rats were included in study. Rats were divided into 7 groups, including group 1--control, group 2--sham operation, group 3--left varicocele induced, group 4--varicocele induced, varicocelectomy done 4 weeks later and micronized purified flavonoid fraction administered for 4 weeks, group 5--varicocele induced and micronized purified flavonoid fraction administered for 8 weeks, group 6--varicocele induced and beginning 4 weeks later micronized purified flavonoid fraction administered for 4 weeks, and group 7--varicocele induced and varicocelectomy done 4 weeks later. Before sacrifice bilateral real-time testicular microvascular perfusion of all rats was measured using the PeriFlux System 5000 PF 5010 LDPM Unit (Perimed, Järfälla, Sweden). All testes were graded according to the Johnsen scoring system. To assess apoptosis caspase-3 levels were measured. Testicular weight in group 3 was markedly decreased and the extent of seminiferous tubular damage was significantly increased compared with the other groups. Bilateral testicular blood flow and the number of apoptotic germ cells were greater in group 3. Significantly higher Johnsen scores and a meaningful decrease in the apoptotic index were detected in groups 4 to 7 compared with group 3. We observed favorable effects of micronized purified flavonoid fraction on the regression of testicular damage secondary to varicocele.

In this study, we explored the impact of micronized purified flavonoid fraction in preventing testicular issues in adolescent rats with experimentally induced varicocele. Sixty-six 6-week-old male Wistar rats were divided into seven groups for the investigation. Results showed that the use of micronized purified flavonoid fraction led to improvements in testicular health following varicocele induction. These findings suggest the potential benefits of micronized purified flavonoid fraction in reducing testicular damage caused by varicocele.

mkdir public – this will be my webroot folder. This will be the destination folders (public/assets/css, public/assets/js ) for the output files nodeJS will generate for us. mkdir client – this will where my source files will be npm init – create a package.json file for our project npm i <module_name> -D – this is how I install the node modules i need. the -D option will put the module in our package.json as a dependency. once all the the modules I need are installed, I openup my package.json file and write the scripts I will be using to monitor and compile my CSS and JS files. The gist is to output 2 files bundle.js and bundle.css where all dependencies and custom code are concatenated into one file respectively and compressed. build-css– will compile all my scss files and compress it into one bundle.css file. I also included a folder where I put my other scss snippet files. watch-css – this will monitor all .scss files specified in the watch-css command then run build-css once changes are saved on any of the files. build-assets– will build my js and css files watch-assets – will monitor my scss and js files and compile them once changes have been made. Once I have this setup, i simply do npm run-watch-assets while I am developing to automatically compile all my assets on the files while I code. It’s a great time saver and cleans up my code a whole lot, especially since I only have to include 1 .js file and .css file in my html files for all the dependencies and plugins i use..

Create a directory named public as the webroot folder. This is where the output files generated by nodeJS will be stored, specifically in the destination folders public/assets/css and public/assets/js. Establish a directory named client for storing the source files. Initialize a package.json file for the project by running npm init. Install necessary node modules using npm i <module_name> -D, with the -D flag adding the module as a dependency in package.json. After installing required modules, configure scripts in package.json for monitoring and compiling CSS and JS files. The goal is to produce two files, bundle.js and bundle.css, combining dependencies and custom code into compressed files.

Q: How is The strengthened finite Ramsey theorem known to be true for natural numbers? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris%E2%80%93Harrington_theorem states that independence of "The strengthened finite Ramsey theorem" from PA is proved by implying consistency of PA. But how do we know that it's actually true for the Model that's Natural Numbers. How was it even proved for Natural Numbers? Under what logical system is it proved, if not for Peano's Axioms? And how do we know that such a logical system on which it's proved actually models Natural Numbers? A: One of the common frameworks for mathematics is the axiomatic set theory ZFC. This system proves the consistency of second-order PA. In particular, we can show that the finite von Neumann ordinals form a model of this system. In particular every model of second-order PA is a model of first-order PA. The strengthened Ramsey theorem can be proved in second-order PA, as stated in the Wikipedia page linked in the question. Therefore ZFC proves that this theorem is true for the natural numbers. As discussed in this question when we say that a theorem is "true for the natural numbers" we mean that it holds for the standard model of PA (which is the model of second-order PA).

The Paris–Harrington theorem explains that the strengthened finite Ramsey theorem's independence from PA is verified by showing PA's consistency. However, the theorem can be proven for natural numbers within the ZFC set theory framework. In this system, we demonstrate that the finite von Neumann ordinals serve as a model, thus ensuring the theorem's validity for natural numbers. This confirmation aligns with the standard model of PA when referring to a theorem being true for natural numbers.

-. - #1. TmrK. -. - 21. -. - 0. Depending on how you fall, you can break a bone easily. The severity of the break depends on how much energy the bone absorbs in the accident, and to evaluate this let us treat the bone as an ideal spring. The maximum applied force of compression that one man’s thighbone can endure without breaking is 7.0 x104 N. The minimum effective cross-sectional area of the bone is 5 x10-4 m2, its length is 0.57 m, and Young’s modulus is Y=9.4x109 N/m2. The mass of the man is 60 kg. He falls straight down without rotating, strikes the ground stiff-legged on one foot, and comes to a halt without rotating. To see that it is easy to break a thighbone when falling in this fashion, find the maximum distance through which his center of gravity can fall without his breaking a bone.. I assume that somehow the conservation of potential energy comes into play here, as well as Hookes Law.. I assume that somehow the conservation of potential energy comes into play here, as well as Hookes Law.

When falling, breaking a bone depends on how the bone absorbs energy, analogous to an ideal spring. One man’s thighbone can withstand a maximum compression force of 7.0 x104 N. The bone's minimum cross-sectional area is 5 x10-4 m2, length is 0.57 m, and Young’s modulus is 9.4x109 N/m2. If a 60 kg man falls straight down without rotating, strikes the ground stiff-legged on one foot, and halts without rotating, the maximum distance his center of gravity can fall without bone breakage can demonstrate the ease of breaking a thighbone in this scenario. Conservation of potential energy and Hooke's Law likely play roles in this analysis.

Q: Algorithm for condensing/consolidating number combinations Using a horse race betting scenario, say I have a number of separate bets for predicting the first 4 finishers of the race (superfecta). The bets are as follows... 1/2/3/4 1/2/3/5 1/2/4/3 1/2/4/5 1/2/5/3 1/2/5/4 What I want to do is combine or condense these separate combinations as much as possible. For the bets above, they can be all condensed into 1 line... 1/2/3,4,5/3,4,5 But if I removed the last bet from the list: 1/2/5/4 ... 1/2/3/4 1/2/3/5 1/2/4/3 1/2/4/5 1/2/5/3 The condensed bets would instead have to now be 2 lines: 1/2/3,4/3,4,5 1/2/5/3 What would algorithm look like for this? A: I find it easiest to think about this kind of thing with pretty pictures. How about we try to build some graphs? First example 1/2/3/4 1/2/3/5 1/2/4/3 1/2/4/5 1/2/5/3 1/2/5/4 ...could look like this, in graph form: Each path from top to bottom (e.g. 1->2->4->3) corresponds to a row in your initial format. If we start with that graph, then (perhaps) we can run a little algorithm on the graph that will simplify it in the way you're looking for. Here's what we'll try: Start at the top of the graph, and move down level by level. (The first level contains only the blue node 1.) For each node in the current level, count the number of children. If there is only one child, skip the node. (Since blue node 1 only has one child, we'll skip to green node 2.) For each of the multiple children, construct a set that contains that child and its grandchildren. (The red node 3 has a set {3,4,5}, red 4 has a set {3,4,5}, and red 5 has a set {3,4,5}.) If any of these sets are identical, replace the associated children/grandchildren with a single node containing the children, pointing to a grandchild that contains the set. (Since all three red nodes have identical sets, they all get replaced.) Second example 1/2/3/4 1/2/3/5 1/2/4/3 1/2/4/5 1/2/5/3 ...could look like this, in graph form: The red nodes 3 and 4 have identical sets (i.e. {3,4,5}), so they get replaced. Red node 5 doesn't have the same set as red nodes 3 and 4, so we leave it alone. As before, each path through the simplified tree represents one row of your output. (I haven't covered what happens if you replace children/grandchildren when there are great-grandchildren. It could be that you should actually start at the bottom row and work your way upwards.)

Algorithm for consolidating number combinations in horse race betting scenarios can be visualized and implemented using graph representations: - Create a graph where each path corresponds to a separate combination bet. - Start at the top of the graph and progress downwards level by level. - For nodes with multiple children, group them with their grandchildren into sets. - If identical sets are found, replace the associated children/grandchildren with a single node pointing to the set. - Continue simplifying the graph until unique combinations are consolidated. - By following this systematic approach, you can condense multiple separate bets into optimized combinations in a logical and structured manner.

SEATTLE (AP) -- Washington cities and counties have occasionally turned to eco-friendly strategies to keep rain from carrying grease, metals and other toxic pollutants into rivers, lakes and Puget Sound.. But low-impact methods such as rain gardens and cisterns may soon be a requirement every time someone builds a new development or redevelops property in Western Washington.. State environmental regulators are releasing draft rules Wednesday spelling out exactly how governments should incorporate the strategies to control polluted runoff that can harm fish and water quality.. The state was ordered to do so by the state Pollution Control Hearings Board after environmentalists sued. The board mandated low-impact methods for the most populous areas in Western Washington. It also said the state needed to do more to ensure low-impact methods were used in smaller cities in the region.

Cities and counties in Washington are increasingly using environmentally friendly approaches to prevent rainwater from carrying harmful pollutants into bodies of water like rivers, lakes, and Puget Sound. Soon, Western Washington may require the use of low-impact techniques such as rain gardens and cisterns for new development projects or property redevelopments. State regulators will outline specific guidelines on incorporating these strategies to mitigate runoff pollution that can negatively affect fish and water quality. This action follows a directive from the state Pollution Control Hearings Board, which required the use of low-impact methods in major urban areas and called for their broader application in smaller city settings in the region.

Q: How the order of $G/2G$ is $2^n$? Let $G $ be an abelian group. In this section we shall use additive notation for $G$, so the group operation will be denoted by ' $+$ ' the identity by $0$, the inverse of $g$ by $-g$ and powers of $g$ by $2g, 3g, ....$ Let $2G$ be the subgroup of $G$ consisting of all elements of the form $g + g$ $(g \in G)$. If $G$ has a basis of $n$ elements, then $G/2G$ is a group of order $2^n$. How the order of $G/2G$ is $2^n$? Plz show in an elementary way. This an excerpt from "Algebraic number theory and Fermats last theorem by Ian Stewart, David Tall (3rd ed.). A: "... G has a basis of $n$ elements..." to me implies that $G$ is a free Abelian group of rank $n$, i.e. there is a basis made of $n$ linearly independent generators $g_1, g_2,\ldots,g_n\in G$; every element of $G$ can be uniquely represented as $m_1g_1+m_2g+\ldots+m_ng_n$ where $m_i\in\mathbb Z$ are "co-ordinates" in this basis. (Recall we use the same terms in linear algebra, but the coefficients there come from a field, while here they come from the ring $\mathbb Z$ which is not a field. This makes calculations slightly more complicated.) Now, note $2G$ is the subset of those elements of $G$ which have even co-ordinates, i.e. all $m_i$'s are even. That means that $G/2G$ is made up of "cosets" of the form $\lambda_1g_1+\ldots+\lambda_ng_n+2G$ where $\lambda_i\in\{0,1\}$. (Every $m_1g_1+\ldots+m_ng_n$ belongs to the coset $\lambda_1g_1+\ldots+\lambda_ng_n+2G$ where $\lambda_i =\text{ remainder in dividing }m_i\text{ by }2$). Thus, the number of those cosets (which is the order of $G/2G$) is $2^n$. Hope this helps!

"How does the group $G/2G$ achieve an order of $2^n$? In the context of $G$ being an abelian group with a basis of $n$ elements, the subgroup $2G$ comprises elements of the form $g + g$ $(g \in G)$. When $G$ is expressed in these terms, $G/2G$ represents a group with an order of $2^n"

Inhibitory effects of epigallocatechin-3-gallate on cell proliferation and the expression of HIF-1α and P-gp in the human pancreatic carcinoma cell line PANC-1. The aim of this study was to verify the inhibitory effects of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) on cell proliferation and the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1α) and multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1/P-gp) in the human pancreatic carcinoma cell line PANC-1, thereby, reversing drug resistance of pancreatic carcinoma and improving its sensitivity to cancer chemotherapy. The human pancreatic carcinoma cell line PANC-1 was incubated under hypoxic conditions with different concentrations of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) for indicated hours. The effects of EGCG on the mRNA or protein expression of HIF-1α and MDR1 were determined by RT-PCR or western blotting. Cellular proliferation and viability assays were measured using Cell Counting Kit-8. Western blotting revealed that EGCG inhibits the expression of the HIF-1α protein in a dose-dependent manner, while RT-PCR showed that it does not have any effects on HIF-1α mRNA. In addition, EGCG attenuated the mRNA and protein levels of P-gp in a dose-dependent manner, reaching a peak at the highest concentration. Furthermore, EGCG inhibited the proliferation of PANC-1 cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The attenuation of HIF-1α and the consequently reduced P-gp could contribute to the inhibitory effects of EGCG on the proliferation of PANC-1 cells.

The study aimed to investigate how epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) inhibits cell proliferation and the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1α) and multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1/P-gp) in human pancreatic carcinoma cells (PANC-1). By exposing PANC-1 cells to varying concentrations of EGCG under hypoxic conditions, researchers observed a decrease in HIF-1α protein levels and MDR1 mRNA and protein levels. These effects were found to be dose-dependent, leading to suppressed cell proliferation in PANC-1 cells, ultimately suggesting that EGCG may help overcome drug resistance and enhance sensitivity to cancer treatment.

I have a theory about how things equal out when profits and power get too great. Now, the Law of Hell is "the more you have, the more you want." So those on top have just about everything, and they want still more. Well, profits just keep roaring in and somebody gets careless, or a valve sticks, or some damned thing or another, and it's ass over teakettle. I believe the Good Lord is behind it, as the Great Equalizer. Then everybody gets to wash rocks, or some mundane thing, to make a living. I don't think the Good Lord believes in progress, particularly when it increases the profit margin of those in power and control. "When you're up against a bruiser and you're getting knocked about, GRIN!". MOST POPULAR. <![if gte IE 7]>. Today on Yahoo. <![endif]>. 1 - 6 of 48

I have a theory on how balance is restored when profits and power become excessive. According to the Law of Hell, the more one possesses, the more they desire. Consequently, those at the top already have nearly everything and crave even more. However, when excessive profits flow in and someone becomes negligent, a mishap may occur, resulting in chaos. I view this as the work of a higher power, acting as the Great Equalizer. Subsequently, everyone must engage in menial tasks to sustain themselves. I am of the opinion that this higher power does not favor progress, especially if it bolsters the profit margins of the powerful. So, when faced with adversity, it is essential to maintain a positive attitude.

Violence and women's health. The role of epidemiology. Survival, a basic indicator of health, indicates that violence is a threat to the health of women. Furthermore, the quality of women's lives is compromised by the threat of violence, which creates a sense of chronic endangerment. "Stranger danger" is a misplaced emphasis; community-based investigations in the past decade have underscored that women are at highest risk of homicide, physical assault, and sexual assault at the hands of a man they know, often their husband or male intimate. Potential contributions of the science of epidemiology are identified and the relative absence of epidemiologists working in the field is noted. Violence against women may be an important, although often ignored, confounding variable or effect modifier in studies of women's health.

Violence against women significantly impacts their health, as indicated by the measure of survival. The consistent threat of violence diminishes women's quality of life and results in a perpetual state of jeopardy. Recent community-based studies have shown that women face the highest risk of homicide, physical assault, and sexual assault from familiar men, such as their spouse or intimate partner. The underrepresentation of epidemiologists in this field is highlighted, along with the potential value of their contributions. Violence against women is a critical factor that is sometimes overlooked in women's health research as a confounding variable or effect modifier.

'In a book of such varied contents, it is certain that eveyone will find something which will challenge and inform - and indeed, on occasion, inspire.' - John Bowker, Church Times Throughout history human beings have been preoccupied with personal survival after death. As a consequence, most world religions proclaim that life continues beyond the grave, and they have depicted the Hereafter in a variety of forms. These various conceptions constitute answers to the most perplexing spiritual questions: Will we remember our former lives in the Hereafter? Will we have bodies? Can bodiless souls recognize each other? Will we continue to have personal identity? Will we be punished or rewarded, or absorbed into the Godhead? These issues serve as the basis of this collection of essays which provide a framework for understanding traditional conceptions of the Hereafter as well as new perspectives..

0 My husband and I are hooked on “Bones”, the television series about Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan the forensic anthropologist and her cohorts. Bones is a beautiful genius who sees and interprets life very differently from the average bear. Take for instance, the episode when she and her partner “Booth” find a live baby at a crime scene and take care of it over the period of time it takes to find out who the baby’s mother was and who has legal responsibility for the little man. You have to watch at least a few of the shows to understand the nuances of Bones’ character but suffice it to say that she is not a woman who is naturally comfortable with other people, much less a baby. In this episode, however, she does become drawn to the little guy and there is a scene where we come up on Bones trying to appease the baby by dangling her fingers in front of him and saying, “look at my phalanges, look at my phalanges” while the baby giggles with delight. So not that I think that I’m a genius but I can sure understand the quirkiness of Bones. Maybe most of us can admit to feeling like we’re a bit different from everyone else in our own little unique way. And that’s what makes us special, that quirky unique part of us. Going back to school has really forced me to slip inside of my skin and really revel in my uniqueness, let me tell you! I’m also figuring out why it is that I have not become a multi-millionaire yet as a Professional Coach. I realize that I don’t want to coach just anybody. And so, for me, the coaching clients who I want to attract are those people who I will have a conversation with one person at a time. I feel good about that today now that I understand that my approach and intention for coaching is different than many others. In the meantime, I get to figure out how else to put bread on the table! I also realize that the way I want to write for others is different than has been suggested for me to do as well. When I tried to blog in a “professional” manner that would attract the attention of new clients I immediately became stiff and bored as hell with myself so that I was unable to keep on blogging. Now, maybe some people will not be interested in the way that I put my message out there but I’m hearing from many who say they connect with what I’m writing. Que Cera Cera! What about you? If the Earth is like a big organism and we are all tiny cells than it seems that would mean that there would be other cells just like us who would be attracted to us, right? I don’t know about you, but I am always happy to know people who know who they really are. Some of my friends on FB are so quirky and hilarious and wonderful that it just makes my heart feel so grateful for each of them. One of my friends, Charon, posted a status update the other day with an article about some scientists who had figured out how to make fuel for cars out of feces. You’d have to know Charon and her sense of humor to understand how hilarious this posting was on so many levels besides being a pretty keuhl idea for fuel. There are so many of you guys who just crack me up on a regular basis and I know that cracking someone up doesn’t necessarily assure a roof over your head (unless your a professional comedian) but I do think that making others laugh when you’re coming from a comfortable place of being who you are and relating in a moment is some of the best medicine we have available to us. After all, even Bones was able to make a little baby giggle with delight when she used her own words in a high pitched voice that he could understand!

My spouse and I are captivated by "Bones", the TV series featuring Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan, a forensic anthropologist, and her team. Bones, a brilliant and stunning individual, possesses a unique perspective on life compared to most people. For example, in one episode, she and her partner "Booth" come across a baby at a crime scene. As they work to identify the baby's mother and the person responsible for him, Bones, who typically struggles with connecting with others, surprisingly grows fond of the infant. There is a heartwarming scene where Bones tries to entertain the baby by wiggling her fingers and saying, "look at my phalanges, look at my phalanges," which elicits joyful laughter from the baby. While I don't consider myself a genius, I can relate to Bones' idiosyncrasies. We all have our unique qualities that make us special. Pursuing further education has pushed me to embrace my individuality, leading me to reflect on my unconventional coaching style. I've come to realize that I am selective about the clients I want to work with, opting for one-on-one connections. Although my approach to coaching differs from others, I find fulfillment in this personalized method. Similarly, my writing style deviates from conventional norms suggested to me. Attempting a more "professional" blog format to attract clients left me feeling uninspired and constrained. Embracing my authentic voice has resonated with many readers, despite it not appealing to everyone. It's about staying true to myself while connecting with those who appreciate my message. Do you ever feel like the Earth is a colossal organism, and we are all interconnected like cells? Finding individuals who are genuine and self-aware brings me joy. I cherish friends on social media, like Charon, who inject humor into everyday life. Their quirky and amusing personalities brighten my day and remind me of the power of laughter and authenticity in human connections. In essence, spreading joy and laughter, like Bones did with the baby, is a powerful form of connection. Being true to ourselves and sharing moments of levity can be a remedy in its own right, fostering meaningful bonds and brightening lives.

Export Data for Hong Kong Show Signs of Rise in Growth. HONG KONG -- Hong Kong's most recent trade data show that the pace of export growth has picked up substantially from late 2003, even though a combination of seasonal and one-time factors have presented a confusing picture of late.. Exports in February surged 28% from a year earlier, though that jump came after a marginal 0.2% increase in January. The unusual pattern was due to the timing of the Lunar New Year holiday, which fell in late January this year but in early February last year. But it also followed a jump of 16% in December, which economists say was due largely to the expiration of a tax rebate in Ch

Data on exports for Hong Kong indicate an increase in growth. Recent trade figures show a significant acceleration in export growth since late 2003, despite some confusion caused by seasonal and one-time factors. There was a 28% surge in exports in February compared to the previous year, following a slight 0.2% increase in January. This unusual trend was influenced by the timing of the Lunar New Year holiday occurring in late January this year but early February last year. The growth in December, which saw a 16% jump, was attributed mostly to the expiration of a tax rebate according to economists.

We recently received a service request from a customer regarding moist clothing even after two cycles. When we examined the dryer vent and found the exit point outside we found that the vent had a screen on it. The screen was catching all the lint and it created strong seal of lint not allowing any air to flow out of the dryer vent. Once that happens moisture develops inside the dryer vent and pushes all the way back into the dryer.. When we removed the dryer hose there was half a gallon of water sitting in the hose behind the dryer because moisture had built up for for years. This family was taking two to three cycles to dry clothes and thought it was just the way it worked until one day they had a family friend recommend us to clean their dryer vent. We cleaned the dryer vent, installed a new magnetic dryer vent cover outside, and installed a new fire safe hose.. If your clothes are moist from the dryer and it is taking more than one cycle, then it’s time to give us a call and get it cleaned out.

We recently received a service request from a customer who was experiencing damp clothing even after running their dryer twice. Upon inspecting the dryer vent, we discovered that the exit point outside had a screen that was collecting lint, creating a blockage and hindering airflow. This blockage caused moisture to build up inside the vent, leading to water accumulating in the hose behind the dryer. The family had been using multiple cycles to dry clothes, assuming it was normal until a friend recommended our services. After cleaning the vent, installing a new magnetic dryer vent cover, and a fire-safe hose, the issue was resolved. If your clothes are damp and taking more than one cycle to dry, it's time to contact us for a cleaning.

Romanian woman Ortansa Pascariu is the proud owner of a very unusual piece of wardrobe – a vest made of her own hair! Ortansa had been collecting fallen strands of her hair for 20 years, and when she thought she had enough, she decided to use it for a unique garment.. The 65-year-old revealed that she started collecting her hair in accordance with a tradition followed in her hometown of Stauceni, in the north-eastern part of Romania. The practice suggests that women should never throw away their hair if they want to retain their beauty and good luck.. “I heard from elderly friends that women should not throw their lost hair away after combing,” she said. “They need to keep it. If not, the elderly say, it is as if you are throwing away your beauty. I started gathering my hair when I was 40 and by the age of 60 I had managed to gather one kilo, which was as much as I needed for a vest.”

In a unique display of tradition, Romanian woman Ortansa Pascariu proudly owns a vest crafted entirely from her own hair. For two decades, Ortansa diligently collected fallen strands of her hair, following a custom prevalent in her hometown of Stauceni in northeastern Romania. According to the practice, women are advised against discarding their hair to preserve their beauty and good fortune. Ortansa shared that she began gathering her hair at 40 years old, reaching the one-kilo mark by age 60 – the amount required for the creation of her remarkable garment.

Ancient Britons 'drank from skulls'. Ancient.. .". NHM colleague Professor Chris Stringer helped excavate one of the skull-cups in 1987 and is a co-author on the paper.. "We've known that these bones were treated in this way for 20 years; it's been evident that there were cut marks on the skulls," he told BBC News.. "But by applying the latest microscopic techniques and the experience we've got in working on butchered animal remains, as well as human remains, we can start to build up a much more detailed picture of how the Gough's Cave remains were treated. Yes, cannibalism is the most likely explanation. What we can't say is whether these people were killed to be eaten, or whether they died naturally. Were they even members of the same group?". And precisely how the cups were used cannot be known with total confidence either, although in more recent examples of such practice they have held blood, wine.. Jonathan.Amos-INTERNET@bbc.co.uk

Ancient Britons were known to drink from skulls. Professor Chris Stringer, a colleague at NHM, was involved in excavating one of the skull-cups back in 1987 and is a co-author of the study. The bones have shown cut marks for 20 years, indicating that they were treated in this manner. Applying advanced microscopic techniques and expertise in working with butchered animal and human remains has allowed researchers to gain a more detailed understanding of how the remains in Gough's Cave were handled. While cannibalism is the most probable explanation, it remains unclear whether individuals were killed for consumption or died naturally, and whether they belonged to the same group. The exact use of the cups remains uncertain, although in more recent instances, they have been used to hold blood or wine.

As a high school student of Bingham High, I suffer from the effects of society's need to watch competitions and sports.. Sports and work get all the glory, while the activities that discipline you and have been proven to make students smarter and more effective in school get left behind.. There have been many studies, and most if not all have shown that students involved in music and performance activities have higher GPAs and test scores. Music and all other performance type activities require perfection. They require discipline and skill.. Only the extremely good bands get recognized. The lower level ones don't get any recognition and thus get less funding. Give the orchestras, bands and symphonies the attention they deserve and the funds to be what they can be.. Duncan McPherson. South Jordan

As a student at Bingham High School, I experience the impact of society's focus on competitions and sports. While sports and work receive praise, activities that cultivate discipline and enhance academic performance are often overlooked. Numerous studies have demonstrated that students engaged in music and performance activities tend to have higher GPAs and test scores. These activities demand excellence, discipline, and skill, yet only the top-tier groups receive acknowledgment. It is essential to provide orchestras, bands, and symphonies with the recognition and resources they need to reach their full potential. - Duncan McPherson, South Jordan

Q: Scrapy Body Text Only I am trying to scrape the text only from body using python Scrapy, but haven't had any luck yet. Wishing some scholars might be able to help me here scraping all the text from the <body> tag. A: Scrapy uses XPath notation to extract parts of a HTML document. So, have you tried just using the /html/body path to extract <body>? (assuming it's nested in <html>). It might be even simpler to use the //body selector: x.select("//body").extract() # extract body You can find more information about the selectors Scrapy provides here.

Q: How can I scrape text only from the body tag using Scrapy in Python? A: To extract text specifically from the body tag in a HTML document using Scrapy, you can utilize XPath notation.

Its the inverse: its a claim of non-coverage of the space outside that range. (Which is useful, if the font does in fact have glyphs, but you don't want to use them, for example if they are ugly.)

In an email dated Wednesday, February 11, 2009, Chris Lilley <chris@w3.org> discussed a question raised by Erik on the accuracy of the text-ws-02-t.svg[2] test. Erik observed that the SVGFreeSansASCII font used in the testcase lacks a glyph for the nonbreaking space, leading to a fontswitch in Opera that causes the second line to appear different from the first. Chris highlighted the usage of a fallback font for all subsequent characters, not just the missing one. Erik also questioned whether an SVGFont should indicate having the nonbreaking space glyph even if it doesn't, triggering a discussion on the 'font-family' computed value and Unicode-range implications in font design. Chris clarified the distinction between Unicode-range indicating non-coverage outside a specified range and the specific absence of the (nbsp) glyph.

Artificial lumbar intervertebral disc replacement: accepted practice or experimental surgery? A review of the literature suggests that implanting current artificial discs for degenerative disc disease at one level of the lumbar spine is as safe and effective as fusion, but is not a substantially better procedure. There are no controlled trials of multilevel implantation, and the literature suggests that this should, therefore, be considered experimental surgery. There is evidence that adjacent levels are not protected from degeneration, and degeneration of the zygapophysial joints at the operated level may occur. The concept of motion preservation is unproven and needs to be reviewed.

Is artificial lumbar intervertebral disc replacement a common procedure or an experimental surgery? A literature review indicates that using current artificial discs in one lumbar spine level for degenerative disc disease is equally safe and effective as fusion, with no significant advantages. Multilevel implantation lacks controlled trials, making it considered experimental. Studies show that neighboring levels may still undergo degeneration, and zygapophysial joint degeneration at the treated level could occur. The effectiveness of motion preservation remains unproven and requires further examination.

Q: MySQL select query with AND condition on same columns of same table I have a table like this itemid | propertyname | propertyvalue ___________|______________|_______________ 1 | point | 12 1 | age | 10 2 | point | 15 2 | age | 11 3 | point | 9 3 | age | 10 4 | point | 13 4 | age | 11 I need a query to select all items where age greater than 10 and point less than 12. I tried `select itemid from table where (propertyname="point" and propertyvalue < 12) and (propertyname="age" and propertyvalue >10)` It gives no results. How can I make it work? A: you can use an inner join SELECT a.itemid FROM yourTable a INNER JOIN yourTable b ON a.itemid=b.itemid AND a.propertyname='point' AND b.propertyname='age' WHERE a.propertyvalue<12 AND b.propertyvalue>10 ok so in table a youre lookin for all items with the name point and a value smaller 12 and in table b youre looking for all items with the name age and a value greater 10. Then you only have to look for items, which are in both tables. For this you connect the two tables over the itemid. To connect tables you use the join. Hope this will help you to understand. If not ask again :)

To select items where age is greater than 10 and point is less than 12 from the same table using a query: ``` SELECT a.itemid FROM yourTable a INNER JOIN yourTable b ON a.itemid = b.itemid AND a.propertyname = 'point' AND b.propertyname = 'age' WHERE a.propertyvalue < 12 AND b.propertyvalue > 10 ```

Q: How do I trigger Xdebug from within a Vagrant's SSH via CURL? So I have a Vagrant-driven instance, running two projects, and all works swimmingly. My project has a server instance, and a client instance. They communicate over REST ... and all is well there too. So, I have Xdebug set up correctly - I know this, because if I call my Laravel Client instance using CLI cURL from outside Homestead, passing ?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=vagrant, it picks it up in PhpStorm and I can debug as normal: curl -v http://clientproject.dev?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=vagrant Now, if I make the exact same call, from within Homestead's CLI (i.e. I've SSH'd into the Vagrant box, and run the curl command as shown above), it doesn't trigger. This makes no sense to me I've scoured the net without much joy, and I'm hoping you fine citizens have come across this? I'm really wanting this so that I can have my server instance call my client instance with XDEBUG cookies so that in development, it makes debugging easier for my developers. A: Okay, after digging around and understanding a bit more about how Xdebug works, I realised that it wasn't working, because for Xdebug to work, the originating call must take place on the same machine as your IDE. Because I was making a CURL call inside the Homestead VM, XDebug was making it all the way back to the IDE. To correct this, you have to set a header in your curl call, like so: curl -v http://myclient.dev?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=vagrant --header "X-Forwarded-For: 192.168.10.01" Where of course, 192.168.10.01 is the IP of the Vagrant's host machine, i.e. where my IDE resides. All working now!

To activate Xdebug within a Vagrant's SSH using CURL, ensure that the request originates from the same machine as your IDE. In this case, when making a cURL call within the Homestead VM, Xdebug was unable to reach the IDE. To resolve this, include a header in your cURL request: curl -v http://myclient.dev?XDEBUG_SESSION_START=vagrant --header "X-Forwarded-For: 192.168.10.01" Substitute 192.168.10.01 with the IP of the Vagrant's host machine where your IDE is located. This adjustment should now enable Xdebug properly.
