[Link between non hypoxemic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and executive functioning in oldest old].
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) may result in cognitive disorders (mainly executive) even without hypoxemia. The aim of this descriptive study was to highlight a deficit in task-switching in non-hypoxemic patient with COPD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer disease (AD). The main judgment criterion was patients' performances on the TMTA and B. COPD patients were recruited via the database (CogDisCo) of the geriatric medicine department at Pitié Salpêtrière hospital in Paris. 7 patients had Alzheimer's disease (AD), and 11 mild cognitive impairment (MCI): they were matched for age, sex, MMSE, education level with controls subjects without COPD. There was no significant difference between the two groups. However, patients with COPD and MCI required,100 people, including myself, during the 1 in 3 Campaign’s eight-hour online speak-out. People even shared their stories at the front doors of strangers’ homes.

Many said they told their stories to highlight a different narrative about abortion, the people who have them, and what goes into the decision.

“I share my abortion experience because my lived experience is that of so many other women, particularly marginalized women,” Brittany Mostiller told me via email in December. “However, women on the margins have always been at the center of the reproductive health chopping block. We need policy change and we have to be a part of that process.”

Mostiller is now the executive director of the Chicago Abortion Fund, helping make sure other people can pay for their abortions. Her experience has


more likely to experience wage theft than men, and people of color were more likely to experience wage theft than whites.

One of the largest disparities was between citizens and non-citizens. While the data did not include information on the numbers of undocumented workers who experienced wage theft, the study found that in California, non-citizens were 1.6 times more likely to experience wage theft. Non-citizens in New York were 3.1 times more likely to experience wage theft.

Steven Greenhouse, labor and workplace reporter for the New York Times, told Marketplace that many of the people experiencing wage theft are undocumented. “Perhaps these numbers actually understate the problem,” Greenhouse said. “When the Census Department does its survey, it generally under-counts and under-interviews [undocumented workers].”

Greenhouse reported for the New York Times thisthan the GDP of Norway.

Walmart employees and labor justice groups have targeted the company for its low-wage jobs and lack of support for employees. Since 2012, Walmart workers and allies have organized one-day walkout protests, culminating in strikes during Black Friday, the largest retail event of the year, starting the day after Thanksgiving.

Democrats in the U.S. Committee on Education and the Workforce concluded in a 2013 study that Walmart’s low wages and benefits force its employees to turn to government aid and cost taxpayers between $900,000 and $1.75 million per store, every year.

Speaking out for better working conditions comes with a price; early this year, the National Labor Relations Board found that Walmart illegally fired, disciplined, or threatened at least 60 employees for complaining publicly about wages.

“The Walmart


Song Doula Services in New York City, further explained: “I don’t think doulas empower women as much as a woman empowers herself when she realizes her voice is being heard and she can make a decision [about how she wants to give birth] based in knowledge rather than fear.”

With doula assistance, women are empowered to be proactive in realizing their reproductive, health-care, and birth goals. Effectively, doulas are helping to achieve reproductive justice.

The report goes on to share that despite these proven benefits, only one-third of privately insured women knows about doula care, and only 6 percent of expectant mothers in the United States have benefited from doula care. Data from a survey of 2,400 women shows that 39 percent of the more than 300 Black women surveyedtop of their usual expenses.

“Given the challenges with reimbursement, it’s hard to expand access to doulas because it means a real out-of-pocket expenditure for a lot of women. I think the biggest thing we could do is to make it affordable by making it reimbursable,” added Strauss.

Doula care is not typically reimbursed under Medicaid, but there is opportunity within Obamacare to change that. In 2013, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a ruling allowing states to reimburse for preventive services that have been recommended by a licensed medical provider but that may be provided by a variety of professionals, including doulas. So far, two states—Oregon and Minnesota—have taken steps to reimburse doula care under Medicaid. All states should do the same.

Subject: LV valley endures blackouts

  Now here's an "unintended" consequence:  price caps cause less supply to be
available (marketers cannot sell above cap and generators must be subject to
cost filings if they do) and the result is black outs.

POWER SHORTAGES: LV valley endures blackouts
Utility officials expect supplies to stay tight as hot weather continues this
week

By JOHN G. EDWARDS
REVIEW-JOURNAL

The first rolling blackouts in Southern Nevada history hit the Las Vegas
Valley on Monday with a speedsituation, he
added, "underlines the need to build more power plants."

Monday's 114-degree high was one degree shy of the record for the date. The
heat follows the warmest May on record, said Joe Nemeth, a senior forecaster
with the National Weather Service. Temperatures are expected to stay warm but
tapering off as the week progresses and the risk for thunderstorms increases,
meteorologists reported.

Highs will stay in the triple-digit range, but drop to 110 degrees today, 105
on Wednesday, 106 on Thursday and 103 on Friday. A less than 20 percent
chance for rain exists today, a chance that increases to 30 percent
Wednesday.

Forecasters expect a 40 to 50 percent chance of rain the rest of the week.

rolls on the flange of the tray while the tray and the hot member are moving relative to each other.
With this apparatus, the hot member (heat-emitting roller) rolls on the flange of the tray. That is, the hot member rotates as it moves over the flange. Therefore, the frictional resistance between the hot member and-the film on the flange and the film is less likely to tear or develop tiny holes.
Also, it is preferable for the face of the hot member that contacts the film to be made of a resilient material (such as resin or synthetic rubber) so that firm contact can be maintained between the film and the flange even when small irregularities exist on the surface of the flange of the tray.

the Caribbean were the East Indies. Our holiday celebrates a man who was lost.

Lost or not, he immediately captured some of the natives he met, writing of the “seven [natives] which I have ordered to be taken and carried to Spain,” and further musing that “I could conquer the whole of them with 50 men, and govern them as I pleased”. In December, his ships reached Hispaniola – the island that now hosts Haiti and the Dominican Republic – where he forced the natives to provide him gold; those who didn’t had their hands lopped off. It was the beginning of a rapid decline of the island’s population; historian Laurence Bergreen estimates that there were 300,000 natives on Hispaniola when Columbus arrived; by 1550, there were just 500.of Italian American pride.

As the late, great Italian American Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra, once said: “The future ain’t what it used to be.” He was right. Let’s start reimagining that future as one that doesn’t honor Christopher Columbus.


There are multiple strategies aimed at preventing GVHD; however, there is currently no standard prophylaxis regimen ([@B4]).

Prophylactic *in vivo* T cell depletion with antithymocyte globulin (ATG), an antibody to the T cell receptor derived from either rabbit or horse sera, and alemtuzumab (monoclonal antibody against CD52), have both been effective strategies in reducing the incidence and severity of GVHD ([@B5]--[@B8]). The dosing regimens of both agents, however, are empiric and highly variable. An ideal dose should prevent severe GVHD, yet maintain graft- vs. -tumor effects, while simultaneously allowing for adequate immune reconstitution. Previous studies of high-dose ATG dosed at 10 mg/kg reduced the risk of GVHD but resulted in increased infectious complications and higher non-relapse mortality ([@B9], [@B10]). Subsequent, dose reductions to 6--8 mg/kg ([@B11]--[@B13]) decreased infectious complications,in univariate analyses (*p*-value \< 0.2) or variables which were unequally distributed across two groups for each dependent outcome variable (OS, DFS, NRM, relapse or GVHD, **Tables 2**, **3**). Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 24.0 and R 3.4.3 software. All statistical tests were two-sided, and *p*-value 0.05 was used to indicate statistical significance. We performed sensitivity analyses of the ALC count from the day of starting administration of alemtuzumab through the day of transplant, and impact on transplant outcomes. Sensitivity and specificity of optimal ALC predicting DFS were obtained using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.

Results {#s4}
=======

Demographic Profile
-------------------

In the ATG group, 76 (61%) patients were older than 52 years compared to 151 (63%) patients in the alemtuzumab group. As compared to the ATG group, alemtuzumab group had significantly


disease free survival; ALC, absolute lymphocyte count; N.E., P \> 0.2 in univariate analysis*.

Comparison of Outcomes Between ATG and Alemtuzumab
--------------------------------------------------

Overall, there is no significant difference in primary outcomes (OS, DFS, NRM, aGVHD, and cGVHD) between ATG and alemtuzumab group at all dose levels. However, the alemtuzumab group did have a lower incidence of early relapses (\<2 years post-transplant) when compared to the ATG group (32 vs. 42%, *p* = 0.04, HR-1.47), probably due to implementation of timely pre-emptive DLI in alemtuzumab group ([Supplementary Figures 1](#SM2){ref-type="supplementary-material"}, [2](#SM3){ref-type="supplementary-material"}, late merging of curves [Figure 2B](#F2){ref-type="fig"}). However, in view of inter-center differences in strategy (pre-emptive DLI for alemtuzumab) and patient characteristics this could just be a preliminary evidence suggestive of equivalence between the two strategies, highlighting the importance of carrying out furtherATG ([@B26]), surrogate markers for immune reconstitution, including NRM, infections, and cGVHD had no interaction of ALC with alemtuzumab dose ([Supplementary Table 1](#SM1){ref-type="supplementary-material"}). Lack of IR data remains a major drawback for this retrospective analysis.

The impact of other confounding interventions, such as type and intensity of conditioning regimen on ALC, remains a potential bias. We have tried to account for these potential effects by testing for the interactions between ALC and different intensities and types of conditioning regimen. Our study is also limited in that our analysis utilizes ALC, which includes both T cells and B cells, and also lacks data on PK/PD for alemtuzumab and ATG.

In summary, like ATG, there is definite but differential interaction between the recipient peripheral blood ALC and alemtuzumab dose to predict OS,


DFS, and relapses. Pre-transplant recipient peripheral blood ALC on second day of alemtuzumab administration (day 2) was strongest predictor of outcomes, with higher ALC associated with inferior DFS, and one could possibly think of reducing doses of alemtuzumab (or maybe look into CD52 expression in persisting lymphocytes) over the forthcoming days, if the ALC on day 2 is higher than 0.08 × 10^9^/lit. Our approach has the potential to introduce new paradigm to study alemtuzumab dosing. Based on such an analysis, theoretically a norm gram of ALC and alemtuzumab dose could be developed prospectively, which could help in individualizing dose of alemtuzumab as per target recipient ALC, without compromising immune-reconstitution. Also, there is a need for further prospective PK/PD modeling studies for alemtuzumab/ATG in analyzing differential days ofhe is not a part of this civil case.
    D. Ricky Bluiett’s December 11, 2009 Interview
   In December 2009, a year after Hart’s arrest and a week
before Hart’s and Swavely’s trial was scheduled to start,
Bluiett contacted the prosecutor’s office and expressed reser-
vations about his earlier identifications of Hart and Swavely.
He said he was “pretty sure but not completely sure” Hart
and Swavely were involved in the home invasion. Defendant
Detectives Jeff Breedlove and Kevin Kelly re-interviewed
Bluiett on December 11, 2009.
    The detectives asked Bluiett about his earlier identifica-
tions. At one point, they asked him whether he signed the
photo array with Swavely’s picture in it. Bluiett said yes, but
he explained: “Like I was pretty sure, but like I said, I’m not
completely sure. I


 G. The Civil Lawsuit
    After the criminal charges were dismissed, Hart filed suit
under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 bringing claims under the Fourth,
Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments against Mannina and
several other detectives in their individual capacities and
against the City of Indianapolis. The district court granted
defendants’ motion for partial judgment on the pleadings on
Hart’s federal claims for malicious prosecution and abuse of
process under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments. Re-
lying on Newsome v. McCabe, 256 F.3d 747, 751 (7th Cir. 2001),
the district court held that these claims failed as a matter of
law because Indiana tort remedies “knock out” federal
claims for malicious prosecution and abuse of process. In an
opinion issued after the district court’s decision, however, we
clarified that Indiana law does not bar these federal claims
because Indiana grants absolute                11

Amendments. Count V asserted a claim for the denial of
Hart’s speedy trial right under the Sixth and Fourteenth
Amendments. Hart appeals as to all counts.
II. The Fourth Amendment Claims
    We begin with Hart’s claims for false arrest, false impris-
onment, and malicious prosecution. If there was probable
cause to arrest, then all of these claims fail as a matter of law.
See Mustafa v. City of Chicago, 442 F.3d 544, 547 (7th Cir. 2006)
(“Probable cause to arrest is an absolute defense to any claim
under Section 1983 against police officers for wrongful ar-
rest, false imprisonment, or malicious prosecution.”). The
central issue in this appeal is whether police had probable
cause to arrest Hart. The undisputed facts


Cf. Phillips v. Allen, 668 F.3d 912, 917 (7th Cir. 2012)
(“An officer who employs the forbidden technique in order
to manufacture an identification can’t complain when a court
provides a remedy.”). But Hart has no evidence of coaching.
Mannina denied that she coached any of the witnesses, and
all four witnesses testified that they were neither coached
nor otherwise led to identify Hart in the photo array. Hart
has not produced any evidence casting doubt on this evi-
dence. Instead, he relies on speculation, which is “insuffi-
No. 14-1347                                               in requesting
the warrant and the false statements were necessary to the
determination that a warrant should issue.” Knox v. Smith,
342 F.3d 651, 658 (7th Cir. 2003); see also, e.g., Olson v. Cham-
paign County, 784 F.3d 1093, 1100 (7th Cir. 2015) (police not
entitled to qualified immunity for providing false infor-
mation in probable cause affidavit for arrest). A “‘reckless
disregard for the truth’ can be shown by demonstrating that
the officer ‘entertained serious doubts as to the truth’ of the
statements, had ‘obvious reasons to doubt their accuracy,’ or
failed to disclose facts that he or she ‘knew would negate
probable cause.’” Betker v. Gomez, 692 F.3d 854, 860 (7th Cir.
No. 14-1347


Neither fact makes the wit-
nesses’ later identifications of a photograph so unreliable
that the police could not rely on them to seek an arrest war-
rant.
    A police officer is permitted to rely on information pro-
vided by an eyewitness as long as the officer reasonably be-
lieves the witness is telling the truth. See Matthews v. City of
East St. Louis, 675 F.3d 703, 706 (7th Cir. 2012); Pasiewicz v.
Lake County Forest Preserve Dist., 270 F.3d 520, 524 (7th Cir.
2001); Jenkins v. Keating, 147 F.3d 577, 585 (7th Cir. 1998). In
real-world investigations, police often confront the limits of
human memory and facial recognition. A witness who ini-
tially expresses doubt about being able to identify a suspect
but then later tells police she recognizes a familiar face need
not be considered mistaken or           25

ful initiation of criminal or civil proceedings; it is the misuse
of process, no matter how properly obtained, for any pur-
pose other than that which it was designed to accomplish.”).
     It is not clear to us that abuse of process is cognizable as a
Fourth Amendment claim. Abuse of process is an awkward
fit for the Fourth Amendment for two reasons. First, the pro-
tections of the Fourth Amendment drop out of the picture
after the detainee has received legal process, typically an ar-
raignment. See Llovet v. City of Chicago, 761 F.3d 759, 763 (7th
Cir. 2014) (“Heck [v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 484 (1994)] and
Wallace [v. Kato, 549 U.S. 384, 389 (2007)] imply that once de-
tention by reason


evi-
dence.” On appeal, Hart does not address this allegation and
fails to designate any evidence supporting it. He relies in-
stead on the arguments we have already rejected about the
existence of probable cause and the adequacy of the proba-
ble cause affidavit.
    In any event then, and assuming for purposes of argu-
ment that a claim for abuse of process might be cognizable
under § 1983—either under the Fourth Amendment as ap-
plied to the states under the Fourteenth Amendment or di-
rectly under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment—Hart has failed to present a genuine issue of
material fact on this claim. Defendants were entitled to
summary judgment on Count IV.3

    3 There was a harmless error in the disposition of Counts III and IV.
The district court dismissed thesefacts
were neither disputed nor missing from the record.”).
28                                                         No. 14-1347

III. The Sixth Amendment Claim
    We now turn to Hart’s claim that the nearly two-year de-
lay between his arrest and the dismissal of the charges vio-
lated his right to a speedy trial under the Sixth Amendment.
We doubt that any of the defendant police officers could be
proper defendants for such a claim, but that issue has not
been presented. The district court


held that Hart’s claim
failed for two reasons: (1) Hart’s right to a speedy trial was
not violated, and (2) even if there was a violation, Hart could
not win money damages under § 1983 because dismissal of
the charges would be the only proper remedy. We agree on
the first point and do not address the second.4
    The Sixth Amendment provides that in “all criminal
prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy
and public trial.” The speedy trial right attaches when a de-
fendant is “indicted, arrested, or otherwise officially ac-
cused.” United States v. MacDonald, 456 U.S. 1, 6 (1982), citing
United States v. Marion, 404 U.S. 307, 313 (1971). Hart’s
speedy trial right attached when he was arrested on Decem-
ber 3, 2008. The charges were dismissed on October 20, 2010.

children and infants, who may develop an infection known as ‘school sores’ (impetigo) when they start attending daycare, preschool or school

people with a weakened immune system, such as those with HIV/AIDS or those taking medications to suppress their immune systems

people who regularly have medical equipment entering their body, such as during kidney dialysis or when using catheters, feeding or breathing tubes

people who have been in hospital for a long time, due to their contact with healthcare workers and proximity to other sick people.

How do I get a staph infection?

There are several different types of staph infection. Infections that occur on the skin can be passed on by air, food or contact with someone who has a staph infection, or by touching a contaminatedsurface.

Staph bacteria may cause an infection if there is an abundance of it on the surface of the skin or if it enters the body through broken skin such as wounds, cuts or grazes.

You can also become ill from staph aureus food poisoning if the food you eat is contaminated by staph bacteria.

Staph skin infections

Staph infections on the skin include impetigo, wound infection, cellulitis and staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS). You can learn more about this type of infection in the healthdirect staph skin infection article.

Invasive staph infections

Invasive staph infections are far less common than skin infections, but are usually more severe. There are many types of invasive staph infection and you can learn more by reading our invasive staph infections article.

"IM provides a means of obtaining task relevant information rapidly and with minimal disruption, allowing a worker to ask clarifying questions without the expectation of engaging in a longer conversation. Alternatively, it can be used to participate in a sustained form of low-intensity collaboration... Setting up a line of communication via IM is as easy as making a phone call, and the line can be kept open indefinitely, allowing participants to query one another infrequently on an as-needed basis and with the expectation that a response will be forthcoming at the next convenient opportunity."

Back when I was living in Boston, a musician friend of mine put together a cabaret show called “Venus as a Boy,” paying tribute to the mostly female songwriters who had informed his emotional understanding. It was the first time that I’d given the idea much thought, but I soon realized that much of my thinking about relationships—romantic and otherwise—had been shaped by writers who were also women, Joni Mitchell chief among them.

While the predecessor system was operable to perform the general type of inspection which is the subject of the system of the present invention, it was not capable of operating at sufficient capacity to provide the volume of testing desired.
Accordingly, there is a need for an improved testing system of the type generally described providing improved systems for handling of the electrodes in order to allow testing of a high volume of carbon electrodes, such as would be manufactured by a modern electrode manufacturing plant.

To confirm the effect of BDL on the biliary excretion of RLA, RLA-Na was intravenously administered (20 mg/kg, 1 mL/kg). The *C*~0~ and *AUC*~0--t~ were not different between the BDL and sham operation groups ([Table 3](#ijms-16-10105-t003){ref-type="table"}).

Secondly, the effect of α-amylase in the gastrointestinal tract was evaluated ([Figure 3](#ijms-16-10105-f003){ref-type="fig"}C,D). The activities of α-amylase were 19.3 ± 6.5, 19.2 ± 2.1 and 17.4 ± 6.2 (U/mL) at 10 min after administration of vehicle only, RLA and RLA/γ-CD without acarbose, respectively.

administered dose was retained in the stomach at 30 min, so that the *AUC*~0--t~ and *C*~max~ after oral administration was lower than those values after intraduodenal administration. These results indicate that some factors in the small intestine enhance RLA absorption by γ-CD inclusion complex.

In 2012, Uekaji *et al*. reported that coenzyme Q10, as a guest molecule in γ-CD complexes, was replaced with bile acids, was liberated and formed micelles also with bile acids as a mechanism for enhancement of absorption \[[@B36-ijms-16-10105]\]. If the same process also occurs in the rat intestine in the case of RLA, liberation of RLA molecules could be increased and absorbed effectively. However, the AUC of RLA after intraduodenal administration of RLA/γ-CD was not different between the BDL group and the respective sham operationQ:

MIgrating from legacy gwt maven plugin to new generation plugin

I'm looking to see if we can migrate from the current legacy (mojo) GWT Maven plugin to the new generation (ltgt) Maven plugin. I've read documentation such as http://www.g-widgets.com/2016/12/02/gwt-tip-working-with-maven-multi-modules-projects/ which outlines how to setup the code as separate maven (POM) modules. Considering we already have the project setup where the application has multiple  GWT modules all part of the same POM is there anyway we can work the plugin to compile the code successfully or does each module have to be separated into maven module of its own?

No need to change the structure of your project, though you would be missing out on the clean separation of client and server code via maven modules(not to mix up with

Apparently the $6 vitamin is supposed to be much like clomid. You take it like clomid 5 days at the beginning of the cycle, you get the same side effects, and apparently your chances of getting pregnant on it are similar to those who take clomid. Only thing, it's not FDA approved for fertility. With that comes, you aren't under a doctor's care as you take it. As many of you may know u/s's and b/w are a part of a clomid cycle.

Here's the kicker; I read this past week about a woman C2 of TTC, never had a baby yet, so she's brand new to the TTC thing, she's planning on taking it next cycle. Apparently it's growing in popularity amognst the newIUD out. I used to have to nap at least 1 time a day, now I'm having no problems with 1 nap a week. I can even stay awake with little to no problem on Sunday afternoons. That says a lot.

The last week or so I've been thinking that maybe I should just go on for my RN, but it's going to take a couple years longer, be more expensive, BUT pay twice as much as Surgical Tech. I mentioned it to my mom and she told me of the nurse at her pain clinic. When she told him I was going


OMGosh!!! Those girls are nuts. Many of them are so depressed and emotional because they got a BFN their FIRST cycle trying and they even tested early. Then somebody asked how many DPO everybody was and what the symptoms people had. I know I was once them, but I could gag. The vast majority were all acting pregnant with their "symptoms." Not that all are the same, but for me all I had was I felt like I was going to start my period. Until m/s came between 5-6wks. But these girls are all already feeling m/s and everything else you can think of. Now, surely they aren't ALL pregnant just like that. But still what's the most upsetting is the way people are so distraught over ONEyear old daughter, Isabel and my 4 year old daughter, Clara. My husband, Ben has to work so he won’t make it this time. I am bringing my sister, Marilyn Anderson and her 15 year old daughter, Marrissa who have recently started to home school.

I decided to homeschool our two girls just after Clara was born. I thought I would have a small Montessori classroom in our home and do it that way. I even set said classroom up and bought an expensive curriculum. Isabel and I sat down to do some of the first lessons and it became clear very quickly that the Montessori style of teaching was not going to fit our family (some things in theory are way different in practice).

Mary and Joey both love Minecraft and we will be bringing along two iPads they can use, and possibly a laptop. I know at the last conference there were several kids playing in an adjoining room, and if that is happening again they would likely happily join in on that. Our two year old, Lily, requires close, constant supervision though, and it would be most helpful to find someone willing to play with her during those times. It is also possible she might nap during afternoon sessions. We would be comfortable having someone (orQ:

White's illusion

White's illusion is a brightness illusion where certain stripes of a black and white grating is partially replaced by a gray rectangle (Fig. 1). Both of the gray bars of A and B are the same color and opacity. The brightness of the gray pieces appear to shift toward the brightness of the top and bottom bordering stripes. This is in apparent opposition to lateral inhibition as it cannot explain this occurrence. This occurs even when the gray patches in the black stripes are bordered by more white than black (and conversely for the gray patches in the white stripes). A similar illusion occurs when the horizontal strips have different colors; this is known as Munker–White's illusion or Munker's illusion.

Origins of Breast Cancer
========================

Breast cancer commonly originates in the epithelial layer of the terminal duct system (Fabian et al., 2000). It is unclear exactly how breast cancer begins or what biologic, genetic, or environmental triggers must be present to enable its growth. Most breast cancers are thought to develop in a rather slow fashion with progressive abnormal cellular changes, indicating a multistep and multipath process (Cazzaniga, Decensi, Bonanni, Luini, & Gentilini, 2009). Incidental tissue findings of atypia or lobular carcinoma in situ are recognized as biomarkers that may predict a significant increased risk of developing breast cancer; coupled with a


Introduction {#sec1-1}
============

Chronic subdural hematomas (CSDH) are usually encountered in the elderly, particularly after minor head injury. The annual reported incidence of CSDH is approximately 0.001--0.002%.\[[@ref1]\] CSDH is a common neurosurgical problem that is still associated with significant morbidity and mortality.\[[@ref2]\] Pneumocephalus is defined as the presence of air within any of the intracranial compartments. CSCHs are commonly associated with cerebral atrophy and the associated increase in potential space in the subdural area. This factor helps air collection after surgery.\[[@ref3]\] Two types of pneumocephalus exist; simple and tension types. In clinical practice, it is of significant importance to differentiate simple from tension pneumocephalus. Simple pneumocephalus is typically asymptomatic and requires no treatment. Tension pneumocephalus refers to air collection under pressure compared with the outside atmospheric pressure, when, in mostshowing Mount Fuji sign signifying tension pneumocephalus; (c) Follow-up CT scan (axial view) after simple aspiration of air through the skin incision showing marked diminution of pneumocephalus; (d) Follow-up CT scan (axial view; soft tissue and bone window) before discharge showing nearly complete resolution of pneumocephalus](AJNS-7-66-g003){#F2}

Pneumocephalus (immediate and post-operative) in relation to the midline shift

![](AJNS-7-66-g008)

There was statistically significant increase in the incidence of immediate postoperative pneumocephalus in the patients aged over 60 years as well as those presenting with a midline shift more than 5 mm in their CT scan.

All cases of simple pneumocephalus did not show any neurological deterioration and did notrequire any specific treatment. We had two cases of tension pneumocephalus; the first case was a female patient aged 60 years with a right frontopareital CSDH presented with left hemiparesis. The patient showed improvement postoperative followed by progressive disturbance in the conscious level and follow-up CT revealed tension pneumocephalus. Simple aspiration of air through the skin incision using a syringe was tried and the patient showed a favorable outcome within hours after aspiration. The follow-up CT scan of this patient at discharge showed a marked diminution of the air collection with total resolution after two months. The second case of tension pneumocephalus was a 62-year-old male patient, presenting with headache due to a right frontopareital CSDH. After surgery, the patient was still complaining from severe persistent headache associated


of CSDH was observed in 9 patients (18%). Pneumocephalus was a common finding in recurrent cases found in seven patients out of nine.

Post-operative surgical results {#sec2-7}
-------------------------------

According to the preoperative neurologic grading system of Markwalder *et al*; we had 17 patients (34%) grade 1, 20 patients (40%) grade 2, 9 patients (18%) grade 3, and 4 patients (8%) grade 4. Postoperative grading with the same system a time of discharge showed 20 patients (40%) with grade 0, 14 patients (28%) grade 1, 6 patients (12%) grade 2, 5 patients (10%) grade 3, and 5 patients (10%) grade 4 \[[Table 4](#T4){ref-type="table"}\]. Good post-operative results were considered in patients graded 0--2 and had been found in 40 patients (80%), while bad post-operative results considered in patients graded 3--4 were found ininfusion of a physiological solution as a method of cerebral re-expansion. Also, Shaikh *et al*.\[[@ref33]\] reviewed 30 cases of tension pneumocephalus reported after burr-hole surgery for chronic subdural hematoma evacuation and all the patients had to undergo emergency decompression to reduce the increased subdural pressure due to tension pneumocephalus.

Pneumocephalus and recurrence {#sec2-15}
-----------------------------

In the present study, recurrence of CSDH was observed in nine patients (18%). Pneumocephalus was a common finding in recurrent cases found in seven out of nine patients. Similarly, in Zakaraia *et al*.\[[@ref9]\] series, in the patients with pneumocephalus, the postoperative recurrence rate was 7.3%, while in patients without pneumocephalus, the postoperative recurrence rate was 4.9%. This study indicated that there was a slight increase in the recurrence rate in patients with pneumocephalus. The irrigation procedure may


results in 4 patients (14%). The two cases of tension pneumocephalus showed good postoperative results. No statistically significant difference in the outcome had been found between patients who had pneumocephalus after surgery and those who had not.

Conclusion {#sec1-5}
==========

Pneumocephalus after surgical evacuation of CSDH is a common finding in the immediate CT scan as well as at time of discharge. Pneumocephalus is commonly associated with patients over 60 years as well those presenting with midline shift more than 5 mm on CT scan. Most cases of pneumocephalus are asymptomatic and respond to conservative therapy. In the present series, persistent headache and disturbed sensorium together with Mount Fuji sign in the CT scan were diagnostic for tension pneumocephalus.

What options does Texas have left in the 2015 class at quarterback?

There are two: either land Kai Locksley and/or make the offer to Matthew Merrick to where he'll be a scholarship athlete on campus with the rest of the class this summer instead of a greyshirt. Getting Locksley would put Texas virtually in the same boat they're in with Gentry in terms of having an athletic quarterback with a nice upside as a passer who won't be ready as a true freshman to really do damage, but would be better served by a redshirt year to sit and watch.

Toxicity of disodium sebacate.
Investigations of the acute toxicity of disodium sebacate after oral, i.p. and i.v. administration were carried out on 220 Wistar rats (110 males and 110 females) and 204 New Zealand rabbits (102 males and 102 females). No oral acute toxicity was found. On the contrary LD50 +/- s.e. of 5500 +/- 830 mg/kg b.w. and 6000 +/- 850 mg/kg b.w. were found respectively for rats and rabbits after i.p. sebacate administration. When sebacate was given i.v., the median lethal dose +/- s.e. was 560 +/- 86.5 mg/kg b.w. for rats and 1400 +/- 267.2 mg/kg b.w. for rabbits. Similar results were obtained in corresponding groups of animals (in total 220 rats and 204 rabbits) given oral, i.p. and i.v. saline solutions with added glucose instruggled, while my grandparent team wandered around Taipei — oh, looks like I picked a winner in those two!!!

The work deals with tough stuff. Its protagonist, Little Girl (Monica Holeczy), finds herself bullied, dissed and extorted by Bossy Best Friend (Carlyn Armintrout). Bossy Best Friend even allows her own tomato plant to die of neglect (saying it's Little Girl's fault), then forces Little Girl through emotional blackmail to give up her healthy tomato plant, which Bossy Best Friend also kills by neglect. But then Bossy Best Friend leaves on a shopping vacation and Little Girl finds a new friend, Tomato Plant Girl (Kate Frank). It takes Little Girl a while to learn that her new friend follows her own rules, not Bossy Best Friend's (filtered through Little Girl). When this happens, however, Little Girl discovers that her own rules are better for her than BossyBest Friend's and that sometimes it's better to be a bit lonely than bullied.

The children in the audience particularly enjoyed the literal earthiness and related rowdiness Frank brought to Tomato Plant Girl, obviously identified with Holeczy's Little Girl, and viewed with horror the bad manners, vibes and worldview of Armintrout's Bossy Best Friend. As an (arguable) adult, I admired the subversiveness of the work -- "trust yourself" is a motto that children are seldom taught. Metro Theater Company, however, always has subversive, life-affirming messages for its patrons, and Tomato Plant Girl is one of its best efforts at mixing charming theater with necessary but seldom given instruction.

Cells from *Escherichia coli* strain Rosetta2 (DE3; Merck Millipore, Japan) were transformed with pDEST15-GST-Steroleosin B and pre-cultured overnight in 3-ml of LB medium at 37 °C. Flasks containing 50 ml of LB medium supplemented with 50-µg/ml kanamycin were inoculated with 500 µl aliquots of saturated culture. Cells were cultivated until the optical density at 600 nm (OD~600~) reached 1.0. The cultures were then supplemented with 1 mM isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and cultured for a further 3 h at 23 °C. Next, the cells were harvested by centrifugation at 10,000 × *g* for 10 min at 4 °C. After removal of supernatant, pellets were stored at −80 °C until purification of GST-fused Steroleosin B, as described elsewhere. Briefly, cell pellets

In Biological systems, for example, the basic information element is the nucleotide molecule, and the basic information structure is a sequence of nucleotides (e.g. a codon, or a gene). Likewise, for computer systems the basic information element is the bit, and the basic information structure is a sequence of bits (e.g. an


latter level as inheriting all of the projections that are in effect at the former level. And since this is true of projections, then it is also true of anything that is associated with or constructed from them. This aspect of system P --whereby that which is in effect at one level (or, if you will, generation) is passed on to the next subsequent level (and thus, by extension, to all subsequent levels) --will be called the inheritance rule. 3 Constructing space and time in system P Following postulate 3, let us model each projection as a one-dimensional vector; i.e. we model each pk (k = 0, 1, 2) as a one-dimensional vector going from level k to level k + 1. Thus, p0 is a one-dimensional vectorp0 from the perspective of p1 "bootstraps" the former from a one-dimensional vector into a three-dimensional space. In summary, to construct its interpretation of p0, we can think of p1 as applying postulates 3 and 4 in succession: first, by postulate 3, p0 is a one-dimensional vector; second, by postulate 4, p0 is independent of p1 --which allows the former to have a component that is orthogonal to p1, with the result that p1 sees p0 as three dimensional. Conversely, we can ask, how does p1 "look" relative to p0? Since p1 is dependent on p0, then the former is not free to have a component that is orthogonal to the latter, and so p0 sees p1 as being collinear; or, more simply, p0 sees p1 strictly as


has two dimensions as input (one dimension for p0, plus one for p1), 6 but has four dimensions as output --three for p0, and one for p1. Which brings us back to question (c) in the introduction: How are the basic information elements of the model (which at level 2 are the inputs p0 and p1) translated (or, if you will, computed) into the meaningful output that we call the physical universe? We now see that at least a partial answer is that the relations between prior and subsequent elements are what translate them into meaningful output. In the present case, the independence relation between p0 and p1 at level 2 translates/transforms the manifestation of the former from a one-dimensional entity into a three-dimensional space. We can thusgiven that time exists at levels 2 and 3, we assume (as per special relativity) that the particles at those levels possess mass; and, given that time does not exist at level 1, we assume that the single entity at level 1 is massless. Furthermore, in [5] it is shown that the objects at level 3 have internal structure, whereas the objects at level 2 are structureless. These results lead us to identify the level-3 objects as baryons, and the level-2 objects as leptons. Moreover, since time exists at levels 2 and 3, then the input of energies (E2 and E3) into those levels can be, and we assume is, time limited --yielding a finite number of baryons at level 3, and a finite number of leptons at


level 2. Recall now that p0 is native to level 1, but time is native to level 2. Thus, p0 is prior to time. By postulate 4, this means that the p0 process, which pumps energy E1 into level 1, is independent of time, and is therefore a continual process --i.e. it never stops, and so it must be happening right now. Consequently, the quantity E1 is always increasing. Moreover, since E1 is the energy of p0 at level 1, and since p0 (as seen by p1) is ordinary space, then it is clear that E1 is just the energy of space itself. Hence, an always-increasing E1 should yield a continual expansionary pressure on space. Indeed, an increase in E1 may produce an increase in the length of      if self.fset is None:

Moreover, the island airport's existing facilities are not yet even close to being maximized. Billy Bishop served a total of 2.3 million passengers in 2013. It has the capacity to serve as many as 3.8 million passengers without expanding the runway or introducing jets, as Porter Airlines has requested. So there is ample opportunity to ramp up business-related traffic, if demand requires, without transforming it into a major international airport. Of course, such an expansion would invite competition for slots, which could be accommodated only by demands for even further expansion. Porter's competitors have already publicly declared their intentions in this regard.

Second: Theones who told me that I should start a YouTube channel, but that could very well have been just so I would quit pestering them all the time about it all as I’m really the only core Gamer in my circle of friends.

How I got started was more on a whim. I had used my Christmas bonus to build myself an actual Gaming rig that January and I decided that, now that I was earning enough money from my day job, I could afford the equipment necessary. So, on a whim I ended up spending far more than I needed to on recording equipment to be able to get started. The decision to start my own channel to first video recorded took all of a week to complete


their hands dirty. I realized that there was a lot of things going on there that people needed to be made aware of and I was in a position to start doing that.

Have you ever considered making any other types of videos now you’ve got a larger fanbase? Like reviews, Lets Plays, podcasts, etc?

I still do post reviews and first impressions, but not nearly with the frequency that I would like. Frankly, those don’t get the numbers of views as my other videos, but it’s important to still get the information out there so I don’t really see myself ever stopping from doing those types of videos. As for Let’s Plays, they’re just not really my style. I might do them occasionally as some people find it quitedetermine the initial parton energy from the energies deposited in the ATLAS calorimeters. Prior to data taking, the accumulated knowledge on the detector performances and characteristics, on physics effects like initial and final state radiations, underlying or minimum bias events plus the impact of the jet finding algorithms will allow to reach a 5-10 $\%$ on the absolute energy scale [@atlastdr]. In-situ calibrations will fix the absolute energy scale through the study of known processes, taking into account in a global way the remaining inaccuracies on the knowledge on the various effects described previously.

It has been shown that an accurate absolute energy calibration of light quark jets and b-jets can be extracted from Z+jet events [@atlastdr; @lepton_zjet1], within an expected precision of about 1 $\%$. However, this calibration

The results obtained for the signal purity and overall efficiency as well for the $m_{jj}$ and $m_{jjb}$ invariant mass resolutions are in reasonable agreement between fast and full simulation, though the resolutions from GEANT are somewhat worse. In addition, the shape and amount of the combinatorial background for both the W and top masses reconstruction are also in good agreement between the two types ofrelative constraint on the two b-tagged jets. As a consequence, the $\rm \chi ^2$ is directly related to the quality of the reconstruction of the b-jets, particularly as the b-jet energy can be underestimated when FSR or leptonic decays occurs. Furthermore, the quality of the top mass reconstruction can be altered, with a mass value underestimated in correlation with the effects on the b-jets energy reconstruction. The left plot of figure \[lepton\_qual\] shows the relative difference between the b-jets and b-partons energies. The jets which belong to the tail of this distribution can be defined as badly reconstructed jets. The probability to have the two b-jets “well reconstructed” decreases when the $\rm \chi ^2$ increases (see figure \[lepton\_qual\]). The top mass dependence on the $\rm \chi ^2$ is


fast detector simulation [@atlfast]. The same analysis was repeated with a sample of full (GEANT-based) simulated events of the ATLAS detector. Figure \[highpt\_mtcone-full-ueon\] shows the reconstructed $m_{clust}^{top}$ invariant mass spectrum for a cone size of $\Delta R$=1.3. The variation of the fitted values for different cone sizes is shown in figure \[highpt\_mt-vs-rcone-full\].

Although the peak values in this case are lower than those of the fast simulation, the overall variation for the same cone size range stays about the same. The difference between the fast and full simulation can be attributed to the shower shape development which is not included in the fast simulation.

The $UE_{tower}$ was evaluated following the same procedure as before. The average $UE_{tower}$ is now 42.5 MeV [@highpt_ilias], much lower than the fast simulation. Since nowscale calibrations are not optimal anymore.

The sensitivity to initial (ISR) and final (FSR) state radiation was studied in the same way as in other analysis. Samples of high $p_T$ top events were generated with the ISR or FSR contributions switched off at the generator level, and the analysis was repeated keeping the same $UE_{tower}$ estimate and the mass scale calibration factors. Doing so, and for a cone radius $\Delta R=1.3$ a shift in the reconstructed top mass of 0.7(0.3) GeV is observed when ISR(FSR) was not present. It has to be pointed out this error is a very pessimistic approach, as the exact level of the ISR(FSR) contributions in the events will be measured and known at LHC to about 10% level and the generators will be correctly


and two jets coming from the fragmentation of the b-quarks. Taking into account the branching ratio, about 400000 dilepton events can be expected for integrated luminosity $10fb^{-1}$.

The background is coming mainly from Drell-Yan processes and $Z \rightarrow
\tau \tau$ associated with jets, and from WW+jets and $b \bar{b}$ production. Events are selected by requiring two opposite sign isolated leptons with $p_T > 35$ GeV and $p_T > 25$ GeV respectively and $| \eta | < 2.5$, $E_T^{miss}>40$ GeV, and two jets with $p_T > 25$ GeV. After event selection, 80000 signal events are left, with a signal over background ratio around 10.

Method for the final state reconstruction
-----------------------------------------

For the determination of the momenta of both the neutrino ($\nu$) and anti-neutrino ($\bar{\nu}$), it is assumed that the masses of the top$97.6 \%$ of the events). In the second case, the choice of the solution is based on the computing of weights for known distributions of various kinematic quantities of the $t \bar{t}$ decay [@dilep_vlada]. The right solution is chosen in $73 \%$ of the events.

Therefore, the reconstruction algorithm exhibits an efficiency of $97.6 \%$ with a purity of $73 \%$.

Top mass determination
----------------------

It has just been demonstrated that the entire $t \bar{t}$ decay can be reconstructed by assuming a value for the top quark mass. For the top mass determination, the reconstruction algorithm will be fed with various top masses and the corresponding solutions will be compared to the data.

### Method

The method was tested using samples of events containing approximately the same amount of events that will be collected


the curve is peaked around the generated top mass value of 175 GeV. The maximum mean weight is obtained by fitting this curve with a quadratic function, leading to a reconstructed top mass in agreement with the generated value. The error on the reconstructed value is 0.3 GeV. This error takes into account both statistical effects and effects due to the reconstruction method itself.

### Systematic uncertainties {#systematic-uncertainties-2}

The effect of the systematic uncertainties sources on the top mass determination has been checked following the methods described in section 2. For initial and final radiation, top mass shifts were determined by switching ISR and FSR off separately in the Monte Carlo, and the corresponding error was obtained by taking $20 \%$ of the mass shifts. The b-quark jets calibration was370 pb. Therefore, for an integrated luminosity of $10 \ \rm fb^{-1}$, one can expect 3.7 million $t \bar{t}$ pairs with this final state topology.

The main source of background is QCD multijet events, which arise from $2 \rightarrow 2$ parton processes ($q_{i}q_{j}
\rightarrow q_{i}q_{j}$, $q_{i}g \rightarrow q_{i}g$, $gg
\rightarrow gg$, $q\bar{q} \rightarrow gg$, $q_{i}\bar{q_i}
\rightarrow q_{j}\bar{q_j}$, $gg \rightarrow q\bar{q}$) convoluted with parton showers. The heavy-flavor ($c\bar{c}$, $b\bar{b}$, $t\bar{t}$) content in a QCD multijet sample stems from direct production (e.g. $q_{i}\bar{q_i} \rightarrow q_{j}\bar{q_j}$, $gg
\rightarrow q\bar{q}$), gluon-splitting (where a final state gluon branches into a heavy quark pair), and flavor excitation (initial state gluon splitting). In the analysis that follows, $t\bar{t}$ production was excluded from the QCD background processes. The QCD background was generated with a $p_T$ cut on the hard scattering process


where both reconstructed top and anti-top quarks have $p_T > 200$ GeV. To study this sample, $t \bar{t}$ signal and QCD background events were generated with a $p_T$ cut on the hard scattering process above 200 GeV. The corresponding cross-sections are 53.5 pb for signal and 86.1 for QCD multijet background.

### Top mass reconstruction

For the high $p_T$ sample, the same selection cuts were applied as for the inclusive sample. After the kinematic fit and the requirement that both reconstructed top and anti-top quarks have $p_T > 200$ GeV, the selection efficiencies and $S/B$ ratios are given in table \[alljet\_table2\].

The invariant mass distribution of the accepted $jjb$ combinations and for the QCD background (the shaded area) is shown in figure \[alljet\_fig2\]. Within the window 130-200 GeV the signal overthe statistical uncertainty on the top mass would approximately 0.8-0.9 GeV.

Background processes
--------------------

The major sources of background come from processes involving $b \bar{b}$ production. Potential backgrounds such as W+jets, Z+jets and boson pair productions are briefly discussed.

The boson pair production processes (WW, WZ and ZZ) have small cross-sections compared to signal [@jpsi_note]. Furthermore, all the final states topologies are different with respect to the signal (except for one particular case but with tiny cross-sections [@jpsi_note]). These processes can be neglected.

The cross-sections for W+jets and Z+jets processes are about a factor of 20 higher or similar to the signal cross-section, respectively. Here also nevertheless, the final states are different with respect to the signal. These processes can be neglected as well.

The total cross-section for inclusive $b \bar{b}$ production is approximately


             0.2
  $\epsilon_b \pm 10\%$        +0.4/0.0
  $\epsilon_b \pm 20\%$        +0.8/0.1

  :  \[jpsi\_table\] [*$M_{l J/ \Psi}$ shifts for the various systematic uncertainties sources.*]{}

The $l J/ \Psi$ invariant mass can be determined with a systematic uncertainty of the order of 0.5 GeV which translates to a systematic error on the top mass of the order of 1 GeV.

Top transverse momentum:
------------------------

The stability of $M_{l J/ \Psi}$ as a function of $p_T(top)$ has been controlled and a strong $p_T(top)$ dependence has been found, as shown on figure \[jpsi\_pttop\]. This analysis has been repeated at generator level using the following selection criteria: noare doing a really great job of uninviting a lot of kinds of people who otherwise would go there,” said Tobias Lutke, who founded the e-commerce platform firm in 2004.

Since U.S. President Donald Trump assumed office in January, he’s signed a number of controversial executive orders, including a ban on travel to the U.S. from several predominantly Muslim countries, and other measures, such as withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement.

Lutke said Shopify has been receiving many more applications from job seekers in the U.S. than before the 2016 presidential election.

“I think it’s as good right now as it ever has been,” he said of Shopify and other tech companies’ ability to bring talent up north.

Previously, Shopify had to court talent for years to develop a relationship


and convince potential employees to move to Canada, he said, but now it’s receiving unsolicited applications from all over the U.S.

Lutke, who has criticized Canadian government policy in the past for seemingly hampering firms’ ability to attract international workers, said Ottawa is creating good awareness around Canada’s value of multiculturalism.

Shopify provides services to more than 377,500 merchants from about 175 countries as the end of 2016, according to its most recent annual report.

The newest Battle of the Banks report from Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) shows that credit unions consistently outrank all the big banks on all ofthe four key areas: financing, fees, account manager experience and service.

Credit unions have a decided advantage because they have a strong local community focus, says Rob Martin, senior policy advisor with CCUA (Canadian Credit Union Association) in Ottawa. “One of the things we hear consistently is that we don’t churn account managers. Unlike the big banks, where managers move through branches as part of their career path, a local presence means business owners get to see the same person again and again. That’s a big issue for small businesses.”

As local institutions, credit unions also have a long-term commitment to their members through good times and bad, he adds. “Because we are community based, we don’t look elsewhere for opportunities if there’s a downturn. We continue to lend and

Using Math Functions in an IF statement

Hi I've just started to learn JavaScript. I'm doing the exercises on http://www.codecademy.com/. You can read it below:
FizzBuzz is a children's game where you count from 1 to 20. Easy, right?
Here's the catch: instead of saying numbers divisible by 3, say "Fizz". And instead of saying numbers divisible by 5, say "Buzz". For numbers divisible by both 3 and 5, say "FizzBuzz".
"1, 2, Fizz, 4, Buzz"...and so forth
Let's start by using console.log to print out all of the numbers from 1 and 20.
But don't type out the numbers in order—find a more awesome way!
I can get the numbers to print using a for loop but now I don't know how to replace the numbers with strings.

Question : Do most psychics know that they are being dishonest?

Almost all psychics use a method called cold reading, where they use visual clues from the person they are giving a reading to and very vague statements in order to make people think that they can tell the future or talk to the dead. Do you think most psychics know that they are using cold reading and are being dishonest? Or do you think that they are so naturally good at cold reading that they think that they are really psychic?

Answer by Jack ManiaOh no, they know how well they’re cheating you of your money.

Answer by GreenyDo most Christians know that they are being dishonest? By that I mean, do


they realize that they’re lying to themselves?

– Greeny

Answer by LanceNo, I think some genuinely feel they have a “gift” and they are probably very observant and intuitive by nature. If you really watch and listen, it is amazing how much you can learn about a person in a short amount of time.

But most are conscious frauds, yes, I believe so.

What they ALL are, is “wrong” most of the time.

Answer by your consciousI think they are so good at reading people and figuring outcomes that they honestly believe they are psychic.

Answer by -EabhaMae!-You do realise that 99% of actual psychic people don’t even use it as a money earning tool?

Answer by Jay jay Maehaha, yupp probably all of them do ….
but some might be truthful, like silvia brown ,,,,
pleaseanswer my question too.

Answer by liminal_ladyIt’s an interesting question. I suspect that many of them genuinely believe they are psychic, especially the ones who use some kind of prop like tarot cards or tea leaves, because they feel they are using their instincts (ie cold reading) to interpret a genuine psychic message. Of course many of them do know know that they aren’t psychic, especially the ones who do it professionally, but people are as good at deceiving themselves as they are at deceiving other people.

And knowing that it’s fake doesn’t even mean the psychic is a bad person or ripping people off- she may believe that she’s giving people sound information and advice. After all, a good cold reader can you give you some great insights into

of this earth. As the truth unfolds, he faces a stark choice…. kill the woman he loves, or let the demon live.”

How can you not want to listen to that — especially after reading a biography of the duo, Turquoise Moon, up to and including a tease for an unreleased album and the soundtrack to Midnight Demon 2? It’s such a perfect tease, and it sets up the music so well — which is, of course, something between sci-fi and cop flick. I’d like to think the film ends up being something similar to 1987’s The Hidden, but the score is all synths instead of Michael Convertino’s mostly strings.

MIDNIGHT DEMON by TURQUOISE MOON

Turquoise Moon’s music is pretty….well, it’s pretty. It’s that sweet-meets-heat sound utilized by so many eroticSuzy Went Missing is described in the press release as being very similar to that of a Nicolas Winding Refn film, and while it definitely sounds like a companion piece to Cliff Martinez’s score for The Neon Demon, this quote from the musician explains more so where the music came from: “With this album I wanted to continue my exploration of the dark side of human nature found on my previous releases: the fear of being alone and the depths to which certain types of personality, certain types of people, can reach in order to avoid the feelings of alienation and loneliness.”

It’s a bleak set of bangers, to be sure, but it’s so well put-together (just look at how arresting the cover art by Eric Adrian Lee is)


the description of “If My Bloody Valentine played synths instead of guitars” isn’t too far off. Tracks like “Elevator Scene” and “Luv To Haight” are big, noisy washes of sound where the fuzz is the melody, but the fact that they’re paired with more traditional ‘80s soundtrack jams like “Resistance is Underground” and penultimate cut, “Driving 80,” keeps the music from just being an exercise in noisy drone.

Plus, the midpoint cut “Cosmic Club (Starck Reality)” comes so close to Italo disco that it makes me want to throw on some neon clothes, oversized mirrored sunglasses, and pop my collar. If ever a track screamed for a remix, this is it, and it really proves just how much room Correlations has to move around in their wheelhouse.

tobacco and skin lesions was observed in the crude analysis only, but the sample size was small and the CIs wide. Further studies on larger cohorts are warranted for firm conclusions concerning the biologic interactions between various tobacco use, arsenic exposure, and arsenic metabolism. In any case, the use of various forms of tobacco should be considered in the risk assessment of arsenic and in the comparison of arsenic-related health risks among populations.

Tobacco smoking has been identified as an independent risk factor of nonmelanoma skin cancer ([@b15-ehp-118-533]; [@b21-ehp-118-533]; [@b22-ehp-118-533]), psoriasis ([@b52-ehp-118-533]), and premature skin aging ([@b30-ehp-118-533]; [@b41-ehp-118-533]), but few studies have investigated the modifying effect of smoking on the arsenic-related hyperpigmentation and hyperkeratosis. [@b8-ehp-118-533] reported a significant synergistic effect between the highest level of arsenic exposure via drinkingthis arsenic is absorbed in the lungs, the arsenic uptake from smoking is negligible compared with that from drinking water (70% of the wells had \> 10 μg As/L; [@b49-ehp-118-533]) and food ([@b34-ehp-118-533]).

Instead, we found that smoking was associated with higher %MA in urine, which is a known risk factor for arsenic-related skin effects ([@b2-ehp-118-533]; [@b9-ehp-118-533]; [@b16-ehp-118-533]; [@b25-ehp-118-533]; [@b34-ehp-118-533]; [@b66-ehp-118-533]). Elevated %MA in urine may be related to the highly toxic trivalent intermediate metabolite MA(III) ([@b20-ehp-118-533]; [@b60-ehp-118-533]) in the tissues, including skin ([@b58-ehp-118-533]). The decrease in the second step in the methylation of arsenic (to DMA) by smoking is in agreement with previous findings ([@b24-ehp-118-533]; [@b37-ehp-118-533]); however, the mechanism by which this occurs is not clear. It may be that smoking inhibits the specific AS3MT involved in arsenic

1795 for this species and Albunea symmysta. Within the genus Albunea, Albunea carabus is placed in the informal "A. carabus group" of species, alongside A. bulla and A. danai. The group also includes two fossil species – A. asymmetrica and A. turritellacola.

Antoine Risso described "Hippa caerulea"  as a new species in 1816; although this was synonymised with A. carabus by Lipke Holthuis in 1977 (with reservations), it is now thought to be an isopod of the genus Gnathia, perhaps Gnathia phallonajopsis.

from the site, it remains a magnet for disparate groups. In July 2018, anthropologists, archaeologists and geneticists who have become obsessed with the cave gathered there to share their latest finds. The conference was called ‘The Origins of the Upper Palaeolithic in Eurasia and the evolution of the genus Homo’ but it might as well have been dubbed Denisovastock.

It was Brown’s first visit, and she knew that she would be wowed by the cave that has yielded so many discoveries. She says that the surrounding landscape, lush and green, gave her a glimpse at what drew in Denny and her relatives. “You can just imagine people wanting to be there.”When I am writing for Fratellowatches or when contributing to the WatchTime website, I tend to forget that not everyone is a watch nut or has an in-depth knowledge about watches or watch manufacturers.

Though his ruffles and slinky satin dresses were undeniably feminine, he told Elle magazine, “I hate pretty. It’s a very empty word. It gives a bad name to beauty.”

His designs were a favorite of first ladies — he dressed Nancy Reagan in the 1980s and then provided inaugural gowns for Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush. Hillary Clinton introduced a recent retrospective of his designs, saying, “His name alone evokes elegance and timeless beauty. And his designs give each of us a chance to feel like we’re special, too.”

A Lesson in Talking to My Father

From this window: a neighbor’s kitchen.Girl does algebra, man flips throughan old newspaper, licks his thumb at each page.

His wife flips a burger. So this is family.A house indented from the pageof the street. Its insulation, marrow jammed

behind walls, stands strong as bones,breast milk runs through their pipeslike water. And what of the wish to saw

the legs off their table, crack their whitechina with my teeth. Ashes confettiinto the gutter as I tap my cigarette out

on the roof. The wish to burn a peephole into it, so I can peer upon my fatherbelow, slumped in the recliner, eyes dead

at the weather channel. Could he caremore for the snow in Wisconsin than for me?He is the tumor of this house, waiting to retire,
