H.262or MPEG-2 Part 2 (formally known as ITU-T Recommendation H.262 and ISO/IEC 13818-2, also known as MPEG-2 Video) is a video coding format standardised and jointly maintained by ITU-T Study Group 16 Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) and ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG), and developed with the involvement of many companies. It is the second part of the ISO/IEC MPEG-2 standard. The ITU-T Recommendation H.262 and ISO/IEC 13818-2 documents are identical.
The standard is available for a fee from the ITU-Tand ISO. MPEG-2 Video is very similar to MPEG-1, but also provides support for interlaced video (an encoding technique used in analog NTSC, PAL and SECAM television systems). MPEG-2 video is not optimized for low bit-rates (e.g., less than 1 Mbit/s), but somewhat outperforms MPEG-1 at higher bit rates (e.g., 3 Mbit/s and above), although not by a large margin unless the video is interlaced. All standards-conforming MPEG-2 Video decoders are also fully capable of playing back MPEG-1 Video streams.
The ISO/IEC approval process was completed in November 1994.The first edition was approved in July 1995 and published by ITU-T and ISO/IEC in 1996. Didier LeGall of Bellcore chaired the development of the standard and Sakae Okubo of NTT was the ITU-T coordinator and chaired the agreements on its requirements.
The technology was developed with contributions from a number of companies. Hyundai Electronics (now SK Hynix) developed the first MPEG-2 SAVI (System/Audio/Video) decoder in 1995.
The majority of patents that were later asserted in a patent pool to be essential for implementing the standard came from three companies: Sony (311 patents), Thomson (198 patents) and Mitsubishi Electric (119 patents).
In 1996, it was extended by two amendments to include the registration of copyright identifiers and the 4:2:2 Profile.ITU-T published these amendments in 1996 and ISO in 1997.
There are also other amendments published later by ITU-T and ISO.The most recent edition of the standard was published in 2013 and incorporates all prior amendments.

This section may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may interest only a particular audience. Specifically, this is not the place to explain the general concept of video compression in such detail; focus should be kept on the H.262 video codec..May 2020) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)(
An HDTV camera with 8-bit sampling generates a raw video stream of 25 × 1920 × 1080 × 3 = 155,520,000 bytes per second for 25 frame-per-second video (using the 4:4:4 sampling format). This stream of data must be compressed if digital TV is to fit in the bandwidth of available TV channels and if movies are to fit on DVDs. Video compression is practical because the data in pictures is often redundant in space and time. For example, the sky can be blue across the top of a picture and that blue sky can persist for frame after frame. Also, because of the way the eye works, it is possible to delete or approximate some data from video pictures with little or no noticeable degradation in image quality.
A common (and old) trick to reduce the amount of data is to separate each complete "frame" of video into two "fields" upon broadcast/encoding: the "top field", which is the odd numbered horizontal lines, and the "bottom field", which is the even numbered lines. Upon reception/decoding, the two fields are displayed alternately with the lines of one field interleaving between the lines of the previous field; this format is called interlaced video. The typical field rate is 50 (Europe/PAL) or 59.94 (US/NTSC) fields per second, corresponding to 25 (Europe/PAL) or 29.97 (North America/NTSC) whole frames per second. If the video is not interlaced, then it is called progressive scan video and each picture is a complete frame. MPEG-2 supports both options.
Digital television requires that these pictures be digitized so that they can be processed by computer hardware. Each picture element (a pixel) is then represented by one luma number and two chroma numbers. These describe the brightness and the color of the pixel (see YCbCr). Thus, each digitized picture is initially represented by three rectangular arrays of numbers.
Another common practice to reduce the amount of data to be processed is to subsample the two chroma planes (after low-pass filtering to avoid aliasing). This works because the human visual system better resolves details of brightness than details in the hue and saturation of colors. The term 4:2:2 is used for video with the chroma subsampled by a ratio of 2:1 horizontally, and 4:2:0 is used for video with the chroma subsampled by 2:1 both vertically and horizontally. Video that has luma and chroma at the same resolution is called 4:4:4. The MPEG-2 Video document considers all three sampling types, although 4:2:0 is by far the most common for consumer video, and there are no defined "profiles" of MPEG-2 for 4:4:4 video (see below for further discussion of profiles).
While the discussion below in this section generally describes MPEG-2 video compression, there are many details that are not discussed, including details involving fields, chrominance formats, responses to scene changes, special codes that label the parts of the bitstream, and other pieces of information. Aside from features for handling fields for interlaced coding, MPEG-2 Video is very similar to MPEG-1 Video (and even quite similar to the earlier H.261 standard), so the entire description below applies equally well to MPEG-1.
MPEG-2 includes three basic types of coded frames: intra-coded frames (I-frames), predictive-coded frames (P-frames), and bidirectionally-predictive-coded frames (B-frames).
An I-frame is a separately-compressed version of a single uncompressed (raw) frame. The coding of an I-frame takes advantage of spatial redundancy and of the inability of the eye to detect certain changes in the image. Unlike P-frames and B-frames, I-frames do not depend on data in the preceding or the following frames, and so their coding is very similar to how a still photograph would be coded (roughly similar to JPEG picture coding). Briefly, the raw frame is divided into 8 pixel by 8 pixel blocks. The data in each block is transformed by the discrete cosine transform (DCT). The result is an 8×8 matrix of coefficients that have real number values. The transform converts spatial variations into frequency variations, but it does not change the information in the block; if the transform is computed with perfect precision, the original block can be recreated exactly by applying the inverse cosine transform (also with perfect precision). The conversion from 8-bit integers to real-valued transform coefficients actually expands the amount of data used at this stage of the processing, but the advantage of the transformation is that the image data can then be approximated by quantizing the coefficients. Many of the transform coefficients, usually the higher frequency components, will be zero after the quantization, which is basically a rounding operation. The penalty of this step is the loss of some subtle distinctions in brightness and color. The quantization may either be coarse or fine, as selected by the encoder. If the quantization is not too coarse and one applies the inverse transform to the matrix after it is quantized, one gets an image that looks very similar to the original image but is not quite the same. Next, the quantized coefficient matrix is itself compressed. Typically, one corner of the 8×8 array of coefficients contains only zeros after quantization is applied. By starting in the opposite corner of the matrix, then zigzagging through the matrix to combine the coefficients into a string, then substituting run-length codes for consecutive zeros in that string, and then applying Huffman coding to that result, one reduces the matrix to a smaller quantity of data. It is this entropy coded data that is broadcast or that is put on DVDs. In the receiver or the player, the whole process is reversed, enabling the receiver to reconstruct, to a close approximation, the original frame.
The processing of B-frames is similar to that of P-frames except that B-frames use the picture in a subsequent reference frame as well as the picture in a preceding reference frame. As a result, B-frames usually provide more compression than P-frames. B-frames are never reference frames in MPEG-2 Video.
Typically, every 15th frame or so is made into an I-frame. P-frames and B-frames might follow an I-frame like this, IBBPBBPBBPBB(I), to form a Group Of Pictures (GOP); however, the standard is flexible about this. The encoder selects which pictures are coded as I-, P-, and B-frames.
P-frames provide more compression than I-frames because they take advantage of the data in a previous I-frame or P-frame – a reference frame. To generate a P-frame, the previous reference frame is reconstructed, just as it would be in a TV receiver or DVD player. The frame being compressed is divided into 16 pixel by 16 pixel macroblocks. Then, for each of those macroblocks, the reconstructed reference frame is searched to find a 16 by 16 area that closely matches the content of the macroblock being compressed. The offset is encoded as a "motion vector". Frequently, the offset is zero, but if something in the picture is moving, the offset might be something like 23 pixels to the right and 4-and-a-half pixels up. In MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, motion vector values can either represent integer offsets or half-integer offsets. The match between the two regions will often not be perfect. To correct for this, the encoder takes the difference of all corresponding pixels of the two regions, and on that macroblock difference then computes the DCT and strings of coefficient values for the four 8×8 areas in the 16×16 macroblock as described above. This "residual" is appended to the motion vector and the result sent to the receiver or stored on the DVD for each macroblock being compressed. Sometimes no suitable match is found. Then, the macroblock is treated like an I-frame macroblock.
MPEG-2 video supports a wide range of applications from mobile to high quality HD editing. For many applications, it is unrealistic and too expensive to support the entire standard. To allow such applications to support only subsets of it, the standard defines profiles and levels.
A profile defines sets of features such as B-pictures, 3D video, chroma format, etc. The level limits the memory and processing power needed, defining maximum bit rates, frame sizes, and frame rates.
A MPEG application then specifies the capabilities in terms of profile and level. For example, a DVD player may say it supports up to main profile and main level (often written as MP@ML). It means the player can play back any MPEG stream encoded as MP@ML or less.
The tables below summarizes the limitations of each profile and level, though there are constraints not listed here. Annex E Note that not all profile and level combinations are permissible, and scalable modes modify the level restrictions.:

JPEG is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography. The degree of compression can be adjusted, allowing a selectable tradeoff between storage size and image quality. JPEG typically achieves 10:1 compression with little perceptible loss in image quality. Since its introduction in 1992, JPEG has been the most widely used image compression standard in the world, and the most widely used digital image format, with several billion JPEG images produced every day as of 2015.
MPEG-1 is a standard for lossy compression of video and audio. It is designed to compress VHS-quality raw digital video and CD audio down to about 1.5 Mbit/s without excessive quality loss, making video CDs, digital cable/satellite TV and digital audio broadcasting (DAB) possible.
MPEG-2 is a standard for "the generic coding of moving pictures and associated audio information". It describes a combination of lossy video compression and lossy audio data compression methods, which permit storage and transmission of movies using currently available storage media and transmission bandwidth. While MPEG-2 is not as efficient as newer standards such as H.264/AVC and H.265/HEVC, backwards compatibility with existing hardware and software means it is still widely used, for example in over-the-air digital television broadcasting and in the DVD-Video standard.
Motion compensation is an algorithmic technique used to predict a frame in a video, given the previous and/or future frames by accounting for motion of the camera and/or objects in the video. It is employed in the encoding of video data for video compression, for example in the generation of MPEG-2 files. Motion compensation describes a picture in terms of the transformation of a reference picture to the current picture. The reference picture may be previous in time or even from the future. When images can be accurately synthesized from previously transmitted/stored images, the compression efficiency can be improved.
A video codec is software or hardware that compresses and decompresses digital video. In the context of video compression, codec is a portmanteau of encoder and decoder, while a device that only compresses is typically called an encoder, and one that only decompresses is a decoder.
JPEG 2000 (JP2) is an image compression standard and coding system. It was developed from 1997 to 2000 by a Joint Photographic Experts Group committee chaired by Touradj Ebrahimi, with the intention of superseding their original discrete cosine transform (DCT) based JPEG standard with a newly designed, wavelet-based method. The standardized filename extension is .jp2 for ISO/IEC 15444-1 conforming files and .jpx for the extended part-2 specifications, published as ISO/IEC 15444-2. The registered MIME types are defined in. For ISO/IEC 15444-1 it is image/jp2.
MPEG-1 Audio Layer II or MPEG-2 Audio Layer II is a lossy audio compression format defined by ISO/IEC 11172-3 alongside MPEG-1 Audio Layer I and MPEG-1 Audio Layer III (MP3). While MP3 is much more popular for PC and Internet applications, MP2 remains a dominant standard for audio broadcasting.
Chroma subsampling is the practice of encoding images by implementing less resolution for chroma information than for luma information, taking advantage of the human visual system's lower acuity for color differences than for luminance.
A compression artifact is a noticeable distortion of media caused by the application of lossy compression. Lossy data compression involves discarding some of the media's data so that it becomes small enough to be stored within the desired disk space or transmitted (streamed) within the available bandwidth. If the compressor cannot store enough data in the compressed version, the result is a loss of quality, or introduction of artifacts. The compression algorithm may not be intelligent enough to discriminate between distortions of little subjective importance and those objectionable to the user.
ITU-R Recommendation BT.601, more commonly known by the abbreviations Rec. 601 or BT.601 is a standard originally issued in 1982 by the CCIR for encoding interlaced analog video signals in digital video form. It includes methods of encoding 525-line 60 Hz and 625-line 50 Hz signals, both with an active region covering 720 luminance samples and 360 chrominance samples per line. The color encoding system is known as YCbCr 4:2:2.
Advanced Video Coding (AVC), also referred to as H.264 or MPEG-4 Part 10, Advanced Video Coding, is a video compression standard based on block-oriented, motion-compensated integer-DCT coding. It is by far the most commonly used format for the recording, compression, and distribution of video content, used by 91% of video industry developers as of September 2019. It supports resolutions up to and including 8K UHD.
H.261 is an ITU-T video compression standard, first ratified in November 1988. It is the first member of the H.26x family of video coding standards in the domain of the ITU-T Study Group 16 Video Coding Experts Group, and was developed with a number of companies, including Hitachi, PictureTel, NTT, BT and Toshiba. It was the first video coding standard that was useful in practical terms.
CIF, also known as FCIF, is a standardized format for the picture resolution, frame rate, color space, and color subsampling of digital video sequences used in video teleconferencing systems. It was first defined in the H.261 standard in 1988.
MPEG-4 Part 2, MPEG-4 Visual is a video compression format developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). It belongs to the MPEG-4 ISO/IEC standards. It is a discrete cosine transform (DCT) compression standard, similar to previous standards such as MPEG-1 Part 2 and H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2.
JPEG XR is a still-image compression standard and file format for continuous tone photographic images, based on technology originally developed and patented by Microsoft under the name HD Photo. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, and is the preferred image format for Ecma-388 Open XML Paper Specification documents.
Macroblock is a processing unit in image and video compression formats based on linear block transforms, typically the discrete cosine transform (DCT). A macroblock typically consists of 16×16 samples, and is further subdivided into transform blocks, and may be further subdivided into prediction blocks. Formats which are based on macroblocks include JPEG, where they are called MCU blocks, H.261, MPEG-1 Part 2, H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2, H.263, MPEG-4 Part 2, and H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. In H.265/HEVC, the macroblock as a basic processing unit has been replaced by the coding tree unit.
Program stream is a container format for multiplexing digital audio, video and more. The PS format is specified in MPEG-1 Part 1 and MPEG-2 Part 1, Systems. The MPEG-2 Program Stream is analogous and similar to ISO/IEC 11172 Systems layer and it is forward compatible.
High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), also known as H.265 and MPEG-H Part 2, is a video compression standard designed as part of the MPEG-H project as a successor to the widely used Advanced Video Coding. In comparison to AVC, HEVC offers from 25% to 50% better data compression at the same level of video quality, or substantially improved video quality at the same bit rate. It supports resolutions up to 8192×4320, including 8K UHD, and unlike the primarily 8-bit AVC, HEVC's higher fidelity Main10 profile has been incorporated into nearly all supporting hardware.
2D Plus Delta is a method of encoding 3D image listed as a part of MPEG2 and MPEG4 standards, specifically on the H.264 implementation of Multiview Video Coding extension. This technology originally started as a proprietary method for Stereoscopic Video Coding and content deployment that utilizes the Left or Right channel as the 2D version and the optimized difference or disparity (Delta) between that image channel view and a second eye image view is injected into the videostream as user_data, secondary stream, independent stream, enhancement layer or NALu for deployment. The Delta data can be either a spatial stereo disparity, temporal predictive, bidirectional or optimized motion compensation.
A video coding format is a content representation format for storage or transmission of digital video content. It typically uses a standardized video compression algorithm, most commonly based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) coding and motion compensation. Examples of video coding formats include H.262, MPEG-4 Part 2, H.264, HEVC (H.265), Theora, RealVideo RV40, VP9, and AV1. A specific software or hardware implementation capable of compression or decompression to/from a specific video coding format is called a video codec; an example of a video codec is Xvid, which is one of several different codecs which implements encoding and decoding videos in the MPEG-4 Part 2 video coding format in software.

"This album is very special to me, not only for featuring really close friends who are well known worldwide, but specially for the passion and truth I put into every single note of this album. I have to say that this might be the most honest work of my career. Having a record label of this magnitude believe in my music in such a rough moment for the whole world is a huge blessing."
As a rock singer, Alirio has fronted the band Khallice, who was signed to the prog rock label Magna Carta for the release of their debut album, “The Journey”. Alirio was also in the metal band Age of Artemis, who released two albums, one of them produced by renowned singer and producer Edu Falaschi (Angra). More recently, he joined the band Shaman as a replacement for the late Andre Matos.
Alirio has also participated in several musical theatre productions including as the lead, “Galileo” in “We Will Rock You”, a musical with songs by Queen. He was also later announced as the new lead singer for the band “Queen Extravaganza”, which led Roger Taylor to comment, “Alirio is not only a superlative singer, he is also a great showman."
Additionally, Alirio has also played the role of Jesus in the official Mexican production of “Jesus Christ Superstar”. He also played the role of Judas in the official Brazilian production of the same show, for which he was named 2014's Best Lead Actor by the “Estado de São Paulo” newspaper. This led to doors opening for him in his home country, where features on some of the main TV shows in Brazil soon followed. He performed on the biggest talk show in the country, hosted by Jo Soares, among various other TV shows including Altas Horas, Faustão, The Noite, Jornal Hoje, Jornal do SBT, Jornal da Globo, and Programa Todo Seu.

Chris Lynn’s suggestion that Cricket Australia charter a return flight for Australian players from the Indian Premier League was “very rich,” former Australian captain Mark Taylor said.
Lynn, an Indian player from Mumbai, made the request on the basis that Cricket Australia takes a percentage of the IPL earnings of its cricketers.
“I replied that as Cricket Australia wins 10 percent of every IPL contract, was there any chance we could spend that money this year on a charter flight after the tournament is over?” Lynn told News Corp, with India battling a disastrous increase in COVID-19 cases.
Lynn has a $ 408,000 IPL contract. Taylor was not impressed with his remarks.
“I think Chris Lynn’s comments were very rich, absolutely,” Taylor said on Sports Sunday.
“The 10 percent that Cricket Australia receives from a player’s contract there surely has something to do with providing the cricketer with a bit of coaching and education along the way to becoming a footballer. IPL-worthy cricket. I think his comments are quite rich. “
Australian paceman Andrew Tye returned home after the IPL, while Adam Zampa and Kane Richardson tried to return but did not beat the Australia travel ban.
Taylor said most Australian IPL participants seemed happy to continue in the tournament. Participants operate in a narrow biosecurity bubble and provide a welcome distraction to a nation overwhelmed by a deadly second wave of COVID-19.
“I have to say I was a little surprised that so many Australians went there,” Taylor said.
“Now if you’re Pat Cummins he’s on something around ($ 3 million) so it’s very difficult to go back six weeks playing cricket.
“Steve Smith was interesting to me because I think his contract was around $ 350,000, which shouldn’t be sneezed, but for a guy like Steve Smith it’s not as big a contract as he is. probably should have been. I was surprised. he decided to leave.
“But these players … [Ricky] Ponting is over there, a former player, [Dave] Warner, Brett Lee is over there. My good friends, Brad Haddin, Trevor Bayliss train there.
“I haven’t heard much from them other than that they’re here to see [out] the end of the tournament.
“A lot of players have actually said that they feel comfortable in the bubble they are in; but what they would like after the tournament is over … I think the Australian players and coaches who are over there are hoping they’ll ‘I’ll get home as soon as possible. That’s what they’re looking for at this point. “
Peter FitzSimons, a former Sports Sunday panelist, a former Wallaby, disputed this scenario if it involved a queue jump of top cricketers.
“There is no reason why they should be at the top of the line of the 9,000. If there are 9,000 Australians who are all trying to get in, you are not saying they should be at the top of the line. business class, right? ” Said FitzSimons.
Taylor replied, “I know some of them very well and they are my friends. I would love to see them come home, no doubt about that …
FitzSimons cut in, “Oh, oh, you should’ve told us! They’re buddies! I’m sorry, listen, customs – no, look, they’re Mark Taylor’s buddies. First class, and the rest of them can have slops. in the back, I want filet mignon for them in the front. Yeah, beauty. “

There’s much pleasure to be found right here, specifically the performances from Vicky Krieps and Mia Wasikowska, alongside the bold choice to blend fictional work and real life with formal ingenuity. Compact and delicate as a homemade dollhouse, Céline Sciamma’s good little movie pivots on a bit of unassuming magic. There’s never an explanation given for how Nelly (Joséphine Sanz) is ready to encounter an 8-year-old model of her mom, Marion (played by Sanz’s twin sister, Gabrielle). They simply meet out in the woods while Nelly is visiting Marion’s childhood home and strike up an immediate friendship, the way that kids can.

But there’s no denying that Bhansali conjures up gorgeous worlds. Strong heroines and stories of female ambition are still pretty rare in Hindi films, and it’s unimaginable to not cheer for the determined Michelle as she stumbles within the shadows. This story of kids dwelling on the streets of Bombay isn’t Bollywood in the traditional sense. Writer-director Mira Nair had lived and studied in the US for a number of years by the point she returned to India to make her eye-opening drama about a younger boy, Krishna falling deeper and deeper into hassle within the huge city.

On the whole, “The Disciple” is an extraordinary piece of labor which deserves extra attention for its spectacular technical features, and Tamhane, who previously made a function film debut with “Court” , certainly shows here that he’s a proficient filmmaker to look at. Quietly going by way of small ups and downs with its hero, “The Disciple” gradually immerses us into his surroundings, and director/writer/editor Chaitanya Tamhane and his crew did a superb job of filling the screen with appreciable verisimilitude. Thanks to cinematographer Michał Sobociński, we get numerous terrific photographs to be admired for thoughtful digital camera motion and exact scene composition, and I notably like a recurring long-take shot showing Sharad driving a bike at night time.

The juxtaposition of sensible setting in the hinterlands of rural India with the whimsical plotline, Bharadwaj narrates a timeless folktale, that’s endearing and for probably the most half hilarious.

A few days ago I had written an article about what Hollywood has taught the Hindi Film Industry during the first film week of March. At a first glance it’d look like I rejoiced the truth that the 2 Hindi movies that attempted to take on Logan and Kong flopped miserably. By flop, I obviously imply critically because I do not understand the intricacies of a financial success except there’s a huge margin between the price range and the collections. The movie-lover in me did rejoice but the Indian in me felt really scared and from my viewpoint, I suppose it’s understandable. The hottest knee-jerk reaction to such a state of affairs is to kill the competition by buying out many of the screens. Most manufacturing corporations have been doing that for a very lengthy time however that’s positively not a everlasting resolution.

Brangelina divorce turns nasty
Brad Pitt is reported to have hired a divorce lawyer as his split with wife Angelina Jolie turns increasingly nasty.
Jolie is demanding sole custody of the couple's six children claiming that Pitt is not responsible in taking care of them.
The couple have a £400m fortune together and now Pitt is now reported to have taken on heavyweight Hollywood lawer, Lance Spiegel.
Despite claims of irresponsible fatherhood and other claims about Pitt from Hollywood gossip-mongers, insiders insist there were multiple factors that incited the break-up.

[Approach to coronary heart disease patients at a county hospital--Zabok General Hospital].Acta Med Croatica. 2009 Feb; 63(1):93-8.AM
The aim of the study was to determine health care measures taken in coronary patients hospitalized at Zabok General Hospital in order to identify the problems and accomplishments acquired during the period of observation (2000-2006). Nowadays, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world and in this area. This fact was the main reason for monitoring patients treated at Department of Internal Medicine, Zabok General Hospital with the diagnosis of coronary heart disease. Data on all patients treated for coronary heart disease from 2000 to 2006 were analyzed. Coronary disease was diagnosed on the basis of history data, clinical examination, laboratory tests for biochemical coronary markers and electrocardiogram. Depending on the diagnosis, patients were treated at Intensive Care Unit, Cardiology Department, or were referred for emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients were analyzed according to the diagnosis, age and sex, and results were graphically presented. Considering age factor, most of the patients were older than 70 and few were younger than 50. Considering sex, there were more male than female patients. The leading diagnosis was acute myocardial infarction with ST segment elevation (STEMI) in male patients and angina pectoris in female patients. A relatively small number of STEMI patients were referred for PCI. The main reason was the fact that patients came to the hospital too late, i.e. the time elapsed from symptoms onset was too long. Another reason was rather poor organization of the invasive cardiologist teams that could perform the operation 24 hours a day. This type of the work organization was introduced in 2003 in Zagorje County, with an increase in 2004 and at the Zagreb Ring level in 2005. The treatment and approach to coronary heart disease patients at our County Hospital is the same as at University Hospitals. It has been ensured by the application of guidelines on the approach and treatment of these patients, along with the organization of invasive approach and treatment through the Croatian Society of Cardiology. Additional education of the population at large is still necessary in order to minimize the treated for coronary heart disease as our final goal.

This is the second time my husband has requested a strawberry cake. I think it is the long winter that gives him a craving for a summer taste. For his cake, I followed a recipe in a book that my brother and sister-in-law gave me called the Mystery Chef’s Own Cook Book, ©1934.
The author, John MacPherson, had one very good reason for wanting to remain a mystery — his mother. Apparently, she was “horrified” that her son had taken up the hobby of cooking. In fact, she recommended that he “keep it under his hat.” I guess cooking didn’t seem like the thing a man should be doing in the ’30s.
I like two things about this recipe. One, the ingredients were few and simple. Two, he recommends that all the stirring be done with your hands. Not by hand, as in with a wooden spoon, but with your hands. Whether this was a lack of an electric mixer, which were pricey in the 1930s, or his predilection for making a big mess, I couldn’t tell you, but I was intrigued by the idea. I’m no stranger to pushing my sleeves up past my elbows and digging in, so I gave it a try,
Squishing the butter and sugar together was kind of fun. When I added the eggs and milk, it got very sloppy. If you ever decide to go this route, I recommend a few things. First measure all of your ingredients and have them in containers that you can easily pick up with slimy hands. Or have an assistant to dump all the ingredients as you need them. Better yet, find a kid and have them do all of the mixing while you add the ingredients. I think that would be a win-win solution.
I now know that if I find myself with a hot oven, flour, butter, baking soda, eggs, milk, sugar and a bowl, but nary a spoon in site, I can still confidently make a cake. Step aside, I would tell my hapless cohorts; I’ve done this before.
Modified from the Mystery Chef’s Master Butter Cake recipe. If you are too much of a wimp to mix this with your hands, then by all means get the electric mixer out.
6 tablespoons butter
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs yolks
1 1/2 cups of sifted flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup of milk
1/2 cup of sliced strawberries (fresh or frozen)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg whites
1/2 cup strawberry jam
- Heat oven to 375.
- Butter and flour two 9-inch round cake pans
- Measure all ingredients and have them ready to use.
- Sift all dry ingredients together and set aside.
- Beat the egg yolks until they are thick and lemon in color.
- Place the butter and sugar into a large bowl and squeeze the butter with your hands until it is well mixed with the sugar.
- Add the egg yolks and continue to mix with your hands.
- Slowly add the flour mix and continue to mix with your hands.
- Add milk, strawberries and extract and mix some more. It will be a bit runny and you’ll start to question the whole mixing with your hands technique.
- If you don’t have an assistant, you will have to stop and wash your hands at this point to whip the egg whites. They can’t be whipped before hand. Whip them until they form soft peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. I found this the hardest part and probably over mixed, which resulted in a cake that didn’t rise as much as I would have liked.
- Divide the batter into the two prepared cake pans. Place pans on the middle rack and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely before frosting.
- Spread strawberry jam on one cake layer. Place the other layer on top and frost with strawberry cream-cheese frosting.
Strawberry Cream-Cheese Frosting
I tried mixing this with my hands, but quickly gave up and grabbed my immersion blender.
1 cup chopped strawberries (fresh or frozen)
3 tablespoons butter, softened
8 ounces of cream cheese
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons almond extract
Using a hand mixer or immersion blender, blend all ingredients until smooth. If your frosting is runny, either chill until it sets a little or slowly pour it over the cake and allow it to drip down the sides (that is what I did).


Even before the 7th Parliament is dissolved to make way for the 8th, there seems to be some sort of confusion in Parliament as at now.
This is due to the fact that Members of Parliament on the NDC side are already in Parliament and sitting at the right-hand side of the Speaker of Parliament.
This action implies that they believe they form the Majority in Parliament.
The confusion stems from the fact that the NPP Members of Parliament who believe they are in the Majority expect that they should have the chance to sit where the NDC MP’s have currently settled.
At a point in time , Hon.K.T .Hammond was seen ordering the NDC MPs to move from where they have currently occupied.

Finnish Army Lists
May 12, 2018 at 4:49 am #135339Eric FontaineModerator
Chat, brag, ask questions, seek advice, or posts lists here and let the community give you some feedback! Be warned, it can be good and bad.May 30, 2018 at 1:32 pm #136634PatParticipant
I am thinking of starting a Finnish but I am just not sure about the frills/thrills or let downs of them. I want to play something historical but I do not want to focus on the Winter War if possible. I have done some research and they seemed to have used a good variety of captured Soviet armor and also some German supplied items. Any suggestions, feedback would be appreciated.
SkipJune 2, 2018 at 3:01 am #136862DeaconParticipant
The Finns have a ton of variety in their army list, both from a gameplay and a historical point of view. If you aren’t interested in the winter war, there is a lot of interesting fluff in the continuation war/Lapland war to build a list around. Their army rules are very powerful, and they have access to a lot of different choices, which is sort of a rarity amongst the minor powers. Their army special rules sort of lend themselves to lots of regulars with rifles, but I am somewhat partial to the veteran Sissi squads myself. The Master of the Hunt special rule that they also share with the Finnish sniper benefitted enormously from the changes to down and ambush orders in v2. Overall, they are a very infantry centric army and work best when treated as such, but when you get bored with that there’s a nice selection of Finnish/German/Russian armour to play with!June 6, 2018 at 3:13 pm #137440PatParticipant
Thank you Deacon for the information. It is very helpful.
I actually inventoried what I have finished and unfinished so that I know what I need to do before I can start other projects for fun. Still trying to find opponents in my area; that would motivate the heck out of me!
PatNovember 22, 2018 at 2:26 am #150656GrimParticipant
In the army book in the “Transports and Tows”-section are truck, T20-Komsomolets and Artillery Tractors as transport vehicles listed.
The website shows as models for a Finnish army the RSO/01 tractor model.
The German army book mentions in the small info text as trucks the Opel Blitz and Krupp-Protze.
There is no army book entry for a tractor, but in the info text of the Sdkfz 7 it is called “…half-track artillery tractor”. RSO info texs says “…fully tracked truck” and Maultier info text “Maultier trucks…” .
So, my question is what model am I allowed to play as truck or tractor?
Maultier is my favourite choice, is it legit?

It's all happening, people. Pia Mia's music officially has a home at Interscope Records!
The label announced today the singer-songwriter will release her debut EP digitally on February 25, so you won't have to wait long for a musical collection from the social media maven.
“I want to show everyone that people from small places can achieve their dreams no matter how big they are," says Pia.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Amazon said Wednesday it plans to hire another 2,500 people across the country as demand for Internet shopping continues to grow.
The jobs involve “picking, packing and shipping customer orders” and are located in Chester, Va., Coffeyville, Kan., Columbia, S.C., Dupont, Wash., Murfreesboro, Tenn. and Petersburg, Va.
There’s been some talk over how good these jobs really are, with the repetitive nature of the work and pay that is below some other warehouse-type jobs. For example, hundreds of Amazon fulfillment center staff in Germany went on strike in December as part of a long-running dispute over pay.
Amazon says the median pay inside its fulfillment centers is 30% higher than the median retail wage — which would put the wage at nearly $16 an hour. The company also said workers get health care, paid vacation, quarterly bonuses, stock awards and matching retirement contributions.
The median wage for hand “packers and packagers” nationwide is $9.57 an hour, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The 2,500 positions the company hopes to fill come on top of 20,000 full time jobs Amazon added last year – with half of those employees starting out as part time workers.
The popularity of online retail shopping has surged in recent years. This past year so-called cyber Monday sales – the Monday after thanksgiving — jumped 20%.
But some of the growth has come at the expense of traditional brick-and-motar stores, where sales were sluggish.

Well, there are a number of reasons he might, and they all involve one deep seated issue or another, and none of them are good.
It looks like that to others around us, and of course it looks like that to us, too, during this stage of the game. The Board's headquarters in George Street, Edinburgh.

End of Game
The Celtics made 11 three-pointers and shot 50.0% on three-pointers in their Game 5 win. Boston is now 13-1 in its last 14 games (including postseason), when making at least 10 three-pointers while shooting at least 50% on those three-pointers.
Celtics guard Avery Bradley played a series-low 22 minutes in Game 5, this after playing a series-high 40 minutes in Game 4 when the Knicks nearly overcame a 20-point deficit to win. Playing Bradley less has proved beneficial for Boston. When he's on the court against the Knicks, Boston averages just 77.0 points per 48 minutes and the team shoots 28.8 percent from beyond the arc. When he's on the bench, the Celtics average nearly 90 points per 48 minutes and shot 42 percent from 3-point range.
Carmelo Anthony was in isolation on 52% of his offensive plays in Game 5, going 3 of 12 from the field on those plays. Anthony has shot 29.8% from the field in isolation this series (46.3% on all other plays).
The Knicks used isolation on 16% of their offensive plays in the regular season, the highest rate in the NBA (league average: 10%). In the postseason, though, the Knicks have upped that rate. to 27%.
The Celtics were 17-17 from the foul line in Game 5, their third-most made free throws without a miss in the playoffs in the last 40 seasons. Boston is shooting 88.5 percent from the line in the series compared to 74.2 percent for the Knicks, and made all 19 of its free throws in Game 1.
The Celtics are the 11th team in NBA history to force a Game 6 after trailing 3-0 in a best-of-7 series. Only 3 teams have forced a Game 7 and all 3 of them were at home in Game 6, like the Celtics. Home teams are 3-3 in Game 6s after trailing 3-0. Of course, no team has ever come back to win a best-of-7 series after trailing 3-0. This is the first time the Celtics have ever forced a Game 6 after trailing 3-0 in a best-of-7 series.
Kevin Garnett is the first player with a 15-15-5 game in a playoff win against the Knicks since Larry Bird.
Jason Kidd was held scoreless and had 0 assists in more than 21 minutes on the floor. He's just the 4th point guard with such a game in the playoffs in the last 20 seasons.

Math shows NCDEX's ban on castor futures may be unjustified after all, claim brokers
"Going by the math, the exchange’s claim of systemic risk if trade was allowed to continue does not seem to add up," said one of the brokers.
"Going by the math, the exchange’s claim of systemic risk if trade was allowed to continue does not seem to add up," said one of the brokers who attended a concall with the NCDEX MD & CEO Samir Shah on Thursday.
BK Sabharwal, national president, Commodity Participants Association of India, said the value of the 4.34 lakh tonnes of outstanding positions or open interest was around Rs 1400 crore on Wednesday, when NCDEX halted trading after the price of the front month contract slumped by 10 per cent to Rs 30,510 per tonne over three trading sessions. Since for every buyer there is a seller, there are Rs 1400 crore of buys and sells outstanding. If the price falls 10 per cent, the mark-to-market loss for the buy side is Rs 140 crore. Since no single member broker can hold in excess of 20 per cent of marketwide open interest, the maximum she can lose is Rs 28 crore.
NCDEX said on Wednesday that some of its members were experiencing difficulties in "meeting their MTM obligations."
But brokers are puzzled on how a small sum of Rs 50-60 crore, assuming more than one broker defaults, could cause such a risk. However, others said the exchange might have been left with little choice as some positions being held by certain large parties were as old as a year, during which time the generic contract had lost a fifth of its value.
"If contracts were allowed to run, the possibility of a further decline could have left buyers grappling for funds to meet MTM obligations and created a systemic risk," he said. "In such a situation, this (suspension) could have been the most expedient though unfavourable step."
Countering this, sellers' brokers said the exchange surveillance was duty bound to ensure that large clients had the collateral to meet their obligations.

And when Jeremiah starts hearing a voice from beyond the grave, it becomes painfully clear that the lunatics really have taken over the Asylum and he is forced to call in Batman to put down a riot. But who or what is behind the sabotage? Is it possible that the asylum itself is inflicting its own retribution on the inmates?

What slumbers inside of Arkham?
After the fall of Arkham, a son decides to take over the legacy left behind by his father. He decides to rebuild things from the ground up, too, hoping to fix the shattered minds of the inmates while also catering to the needs of those hurt by the menace of Batman. That means a cage suited for Killer Croc and a place for a man made of clay to rest, not to mention the repair of a ragged man that was ripped apart by his youth and repaired only by kiling. He even restaffed the place with some of his own people, and new rules make things run like clockwork. The only problem is that all clocks sin gotham seem to have problems, and the new Arkham seems to start ticking wrong immediately. This leaves people to wonder who is behind everything and if this project is one that is done out of love or out of the need to placate a warped mind.
When I first tuned into this mini-series, I was pleasantly happy with every turn the series took. Not only did it have a story worth looking into, but it also had the art and the the ideas to power it. That is good, too, because a rebirth of Arkham needs a masterful tocuh because, honestly, the place has suffered a lot. Releasing inmates into the world had become second-nature to this place and made readers like myself wonder what, if anything, this place was doing here. thankfully this book delves deeply into the subject matter, not only looking at the things going on behind the doors but also looking into the ways that the minds are hopefully repaired. In my opinion this was an interesting thing to look into because, if anything, the days between the murder and mayhem are left out in the cold.
for people who enjoy the dark side of Gotham, this will be an enjoyable experience. It isn't one of those books you'll just pick up and figure out, nor is it something that is singular in purpose. You have punishment in some ways as well as minds working for their own reasons, and you have criminals here that are more focused upon that the Cowled Crusader most of the time. I like that now and again, enjoying both my bat and the things that kkeep him up at night.
This is a solid 5 in my mind, keeping its secrets well into the reading.


NASA launch Boeing CST-100 Starliner
SpaceX and Boeing have been selected by NASA to build, test and launch a new generation of orbital spacecraft under the Commercial Crew Program. Elon Musk's, 49, company was the first to reach the finish line with the launch of Crew Dragon Demo-2 in May last year, followed by the first operational flight in November. Crew Dragon became the first American-built spacecraft since the Space Shuttle's 2011 retirement to fly US astronauts into orbit from US soil.
The historic launch marked a major accomplishment for SpaceX, particularly since Boeing's CST-100 Starliner capsule has not yet completed its orbital testing phase.
It comes, therefore, as no surprise that Boeing has caught the ire of SpaceX fans yesterday when the official Boeing Space Twitter account mistakenly shared a photo taken inside of the SpaceX Crew Dragon.
In a tweet that has since been deleted, Boeing shared a photo taken by astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley during the return of SpaceX's Demo-2 flight.
The image features a view of Kazakhstan through one of Crew Dragon's portholes.
SpaceX news: Boeing Space accidentaly tweeted this photo from the Crew Dragon
The tweet read: "Our perspective from @Space_Station has inspired #sustainability efforts on Earth.
"From the station's smaller, more efficient solar arrays to its global humanitarian applications, see how discoveries on-orbit help us innovate for a better tomorrow:"
The tweet also included a link to the sustainability page on Boeing's website.
Boeing Space has since deleted the original tweet and posted a new one with the same message but with a photo taken from inside of the International Space Station's (ISS's) Cupola Module.
SpaceX: Crew Dragon has a 'new car smell' reveals Cassidy
And although the tweet appears to have been a genuine mistake by Boeing Space, some SpaceX fans have rallied on social media.
One user of the /r/spacexmasterrace forum on Reddit said: "Yiiikes. Too late, damage done. On the internet, nothing is ever really gone."
Another person said: "Probably just a social media intern not reading the image description properly.
"It's not like the Boeing CEO is sitting on his computer, maliciously rubbing his hands together as he uploads a SpaceX image pretending it's his own."
A Twitter user also said: "Like the rest of us, Boeing’s view of Earth is made possible through the sheer hard work, tremendous effort, and excellent design of the SpaceX Crew Dragon."
Despite the social media mishap, Boeing is on track to send its Starliner into space this March.
Boeing and NASA are targetting no earlier than March 25 for Starliner's second uncrewed test flight.
Boeing's last attempt at orbital flight in December 2019 did not go according to plan due to the onboard clock sending burning the capsule's engines into the wrong orbit.
The second attempt, dubbed Orbital Flight Test-2 (OTF-2), will launch from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Starliner will be carried on top of a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket.
The spacecraft will rendezvous and dock to the space station and return to Earth a week later.
Boeing's first crewed mission will see NASA astronauts Mike Fincke and Nicole Mann and Boeing astronaut Chis Ferguson fly the spacecraft.

Equal Pay for Resident Assistants on Financial Aid
This petition had 1,055 supporters
The University of Chicago considers its housing system to be a cornerstone of student life and well-being. Indeed, many students find support systems and close friends in their housing communities, which are predominantly supported and cultivated through RAs. Yet, UChicago's policy towards Resident Assistants (RAs) on financial aid is such that most students on need-based grants pay the same amount when they become RAs, while their peers who are not on financial aid see their family contribution decline by about $15,000. Thus, these students are working for free as a direct result of their family's low income. This policy inherently punishes students from disadvantaged backgrounds, and must be changed. Instead, we call for Resident Assistants to be given a credit applied to their bill for the cost of housing, similar to the way a merit scholarship is applied, thus not affecting need-based grant money. College Housing has already implemented this system for Resident Master's Assistants (RMAs), and it is proven that these students on financial aid see the full benefit of their work. We see no reason why Housing cannot implement this on a larger scale for RAs.
A more detailed description of our grievances can be found in our petition letter (see below).
Today: Casey Mulroy, Michelle Gan, is counting on you

The variation observed, expressed as delta Zn-66 (delta Zn-66 = [(Zn-66/Zn-64)(sample)/(Zn-66/Zn-64)(JMC) (3-049L)-1]10(3)), ranges from+0.05 parts per thousand. to + 1.68 parts per thousand.. The overall reproducibility was found to be better than 0.10 parts per thousand. (2SD). The delta Zn-66 of andesitic rock samples are homogeneous with a mean value of +0.24 parts per thousand., which is comparable to previously reported basalt data. delta Zn-66 in the Woro furnerolic field are ranging from +0.05 parts per thousand to +0.85 parts per thousand and +1.48 parts per thousand to +1.68 parts per thousand in fumarolic gases and condensates respectively. Upon cooling from 590 to 297 degrees C, gaseous Zn concentrations decrease and become increasingly enriched in the lighter Zn isotopes, while the condensates become increasingly enriched in the heavier isotopes. Gas and condensate isotopic compositions can be explained with a Rayleigh condensation model with temperature dependent isotope fractionation factor, alpha((solid/vapor)). Over the 574 degrees C to 297 degrees C range of observations, 1000 In(alpha(solid/vapour)) C-1+C-2/T+C-3/T-2 (with C-1=0, C-2= -0.88 x 10(3), C-3 = 1.00 x 10(6) and T in degrees Kelvin), which corresponds to alpha((solid/vapor)) of 1.00033 to 1.00153 respectively at the indicated temperatures.
