I think the Academy should make an exception to its silly rule about only awarding Oscars for movie performances in the case of these four actors:
- Andre Braugher, Homicide
Have you seen Homicide? Andre Braugher's character is so intense he has a stroke!
- John Noble, Fringe
I would watch John Noble read from the phone book.
- David Tennant, Doctor Who
Just thinking about David Tennant as The Doctor makes me cry.
- Martin Freeman, Sherlock
Specifically the last scene of the last episode of season two. You would have to be a robot to not be moved by that deliciously sad scene.


A traffic collision has halted traffic travelling south on the M1 this afternoon.
It happened in the left lane through the Elanora just after 3.00pm, causing massive delays for the weekend traffic.
Witnesses reported two trucks and a car were involved in the collision, which happened just before the 19th ave overpass.

The Department of Transport and Main Roads is warning of long delays, and urging motorists to show patience.
Delays are currently back to Worongary.


The films tells the true story of a New York City heiress and socialite who longed to be a singer, but whose voice was actually terrible. Hugh Grant plays her manager who hides the truth from her and promotes her career.
Despite normally being considered a “dump month,” August has allowed Streep to flourish. Her previous hits “Julie & Julia,” “Hope Springs,” “Ricki and the Flash” and “The Giver” all opened in August, and 2008’s “Mama Mia” opened late in July allowing it to grow during the hot, summer month.
Thankfully, this release date announcement adds another female-led film to a summer scarce on women. Other female-directed or female-centric films hitting the summer break include Jodie Foster’s “Money Monster” on May 13, “Alice Through the Looking Glass” on May 27, Pixar’s “Finding Dory” on June 17, Steven Spielberg’s “The BFG” on July 1, the all-lady “Ghostbusters” on July 15, Mandie Fletcher’s “Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie” on July 22 and the Mila Kunis/Kristen Bell comedy “Bad Moms” on July 29.
Streep has never struggled to earn Oscar nominations, and we’re betting that her performance in the biopic catches the Academy’s eyes.

By GORDIE LITTLE
---- — There are no coincidences. I’ve formed that opinion after a lot of living.
There are many dots throughout our lives and we should strive to connect them. Remember those puzzle books we worked with as children? They had such memorable riddles as, “How many balls of twine would it take to reach the moon? Answer: All of them.”
I still have that book. It also contains pages full of numbered dots. I faithfully drew penciled lines from the first dot to the last and was amazed when a spaceship or giraffe was revealed.
After all these years, I’m still connecting dots — figuratively, if not literally. When I tell ghost stories, I speak of life’s dots and back up my theory with recent events that are interesting and fun. By way of example, I got a wonderful email recently from my friend Eileen Ward. She and her husband, Leo “Bud” Ward, came here with the Air Force many years ago, and serendipity has brought us together in wonderful ways; especially over the past couple years.
Here is her note: “O.M.G. Something awesome just happened and I want to tell someone who would understand; so, Gordie, of course, YOU came to mind! I was just sitting quietly on my sofa looking out at the lake when Denver (their beautiful dog) started barking as if someone had come into the room; and at the same time, a music box in the room started playing. Mind you, it hasn’t been wound up in ages. I told Denver ‘quiet’ and he stopped barking, but he was still on alert and the music box kept playing. How cool is that? This music box is my own, not having belonged to anyone else, so now to figure out who is saying HELLO! I LOVE it!”
An interesting story in and of itself, right? But there’s more. Ten minutes later, Eileen sent me an addendum: “Well! My niece just reminded me that TODAY is my dad’s birthday … he would have been 93 if he were still alive. SO, mystery solved! Happy birthday to my dad! Smile.”
That’s one of those lovely stories that needs no extra commentary.
I recently opened my Facebook site and saw a large number of nostalgic images, supplied by my nieces and nephews and several generations of my brother Jim’s family in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. They were captured from color slides, taken from the 1950s through several decades. I was enthralled to see pictures I had never seen and some I hadn’t viewed for a very long time.
Among them were views of our construction work on the St. Lawrence Seaway, camping trips at Cole’s Creek, old cars we owned and a special picture of our parents and my favorite Aunt Rae. Her love for Jim and me was showered on us in myriad ways from crib to college. She invited me for vacations in her Maplewood, N.J., home and gave me indelible memories of her 1949 Crosley automobile, visits to the local movie theater, a night at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, N.J., to see “Roberta” and so much more.
Every inch of her house at 23 Garthwaite Terrace, a dead end and beautiful street, is stamped on my brain. Every ping-pong game in the basement, the smell of her perfume and my Uncle Harold’s White Owl cigar still haunt me in delightful ways.
As Kaye and I sipped our morning coffee and viewed the slides on my computer, I was transported on the wings of angels. When breakfast was over, I told my dear friend Les Bradford about the experience and logged onto the Internet to see if Garthwaite Terrace even exists any more.
The first thing that popped onto my screen when I Googled “Garthwaite Terrace,” with no specific house number, was a large photograph of that very house and many others pictures, both inside and outside as part of a realtor’s ad selling it for well over a half-million dollars.
Coincidence? I think not.
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Don’t forget to connect the dots.
Have a great day and, please, drive carefully.

Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) founder Jack Dorsey stepped aside as CEO this week. The company handed over the keys to Parag Agrawal, and then immediately stunned the world with a significant policy change.
I have to say, I was worried about swift action to make Twitter an even less decentralized place for the sharing and consumption of media. Twitter will now ban the sharing of images or videos of private individuals without their permission.
“There are growing concerns about the misuse of media and information that is not available elsewhere online as a tool to harass, intimidate, and reveal the identities of individuals,” the company says.
Here’s the problem. The company plans to take this on a case-by-case basis, and no one has any clue what the rules are. Are you banned from sharing someone’s high school yearbook picture? If you photograph someone committing a crime and post it, is that against the policy?
What are the rules? No one knows.
But it once again highlights the company’s complicated, backward rules around misinformation. By default, this ends decentralization as a hub for news and current events.
This is a huge pile of mess that the company has entered. Without clear guidelines, it could turn into a free-for-all at a time when the company suffers enough from online trolls, bots, and anonymous actors.
I recall Twitter’s leaders attempting to address their rank political hypocrisy on Joe Rogan’s podcast a few years ago, and Dorsey was oddly a voice of reason. He might have been the only rational voice left at that organization. I think Twitter is going to become an already worsening cesspool. And I want nothing to do with the stock.
Dorsey will likely turn his attention to his other company. The fintech giant Square (NYSE:SQ) has taken a few hits in recent months along with its broader sector. But Dorsey had offered some clues about his career aspirations earlier this year.
He said that if he were not working on Twitter or Square, he would be working on Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD). And therein lies the collaboration. Square has taken more advanced steps to incorporate Bitcoin onto its platform. At the same time, what better place to be in America right now than in the financial sector.
Quite honestly, on the back of zero-level interest rates, banking can only go up. But disruption by companies like Square will accelerate a rapid shift in the industry. What’s interesting here is that politics don’t dictate Square’s direction. But political winds around the Fairness Doctrine or Section 230 do impact Twitter.
Dorsey’s making the right move by getting away from the political instability that might sink Twitter. And as Square continues to focus on disruption and crypto, that will be a winning marriage.
Square stock is trading around $208 right now. Consensus on Wall Street says that the stock is worth $307, or 47% more than today’s price. Market momentum is negative right now, and it could be a choppy next few weeks. But as Square continues to bounce due to the economic winds, this stock could be too good to pass up if it falls below $200. Add it to your watchlist.

What is Wasp Sting?
There are various types of wasps in the world. Of these, most of the common Wasp Stings that we usually come across are caused by wasps in residential areas such as paper wasps, yellow jacket wasps and hornets.
Wasp stings are quite similar to bee stings but the main difference lies in the fact that most of the wasps are more aggressive than the bees and hence tend to bite repeatedly. However, it has been observed that in case of Wasp Stings, the volume of venom is usually lesser than that of a bee sting.
While differentiating between the wasps and bees, it is worth noting that unlike honey bees that live in large colonies of honeycomb hanging vertically, wasps usually live in small umbrella shaped papery combs that tend to hand horizontally in places like eaves, attics or soil cavities.
Wasp bites or stings are quite painful. They can be healed effectively at home with the help of several home remedies for Wasp Sting natural treatment.
When dealing with Wasp Stings and Bee Stings, one should be aware of the fact that Bee Stings are acidic whereas Wasp Stings are alkaline. Knowing this useful fact can help a great deal in deciding the proper home treatment of Wasp Stings.
Causes of Wasp Sting
Wasps usually attack humans in defense when they fell threatened by human presence. Wasp Sting venom contains specific pheromones that attract other wasps in the nearby area as well.
Consequently, when faced by a wasp attack, one should try to run away from the area as far as possible. Besides, most of the cases of Wasp Stings take place during the warmer seasons. Yellow jackets, hornets and paper wasps are commonly found in temperate climates.
Wearing too bright or too dark colored clothes, particularly the ones with floral designs and wearing perfumes, sunscreens or other cosmetic items with strong smells tend to attract wasps thereby increasing the chances of Wasp Stings and bites.
Staying in proximity with isolated settings like bushes and closed wooden sheds also increases the risk of possible Wasp attacks.
Symptoms of Wasp Sting
Some common symptoms of Wasp Stings are pain, irritation, itching and swelling on the site of the bite. Sting of a paper wasp is generally more painful than a hornet or yellow jacket wasp sting.
Multiple Wasp Stings may also give rise to additional symptoms like nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fever, headache and other similar toxic reactions. Wasp venom may also trigger allergic reactions in certain individuals.
Such cases are characterized by anaphylaxis symptoms such as flushing of the skin, hives, low blood pressure, increased heart rate, swelling of the face, throat, tongue, lips and difficulty breathing due to narrowing of the air passages because of swelling, anxiety etc. The victim should seek immediate medical attention in case of allergic reactions which can prove to be fatal if not cured in time.
Natural Home Remedies for Wasp Sting
Before applying any of the following Wasp Sting home remedies, it is essential to first wash the affected area with a mild soap and water.
• Applying cold compresses is the most popular and widely used method of effectively dealing with Wasp Stings and bites.
• Placing a cotton ball dipped in apple cider vinegar is one of the best natural home remedies for Wasp Sting. The acid content of this natural remdy is useful in neutralizing the alkaline venom of the Wasp Sting.
• Applying some pickle juice also serves as an effective natural cure for Wasp Sting treatment at home. Lemon juice can also be used in the same way to heal Wasp Sting naturally.
• Placing a slice of potato on affected area can help reduce Wasp Sting related pain and discomfort considerably.
• Crush some fresh basil leaves and put the oils so released on the affected area is a highly beneficial Wasp Sting home remedy.
• Coating with the affected area with a paste of meat tenderizer and water is one of the most popular home remedies for Wasp Stings and bites.
• Rubbing aluminum based deodorant or a paste of baking soda and water on the affected area is helpful in reducing the swelling and irritation. Similarly, a copper coin can also be rubbed on the sting.
• Gently rubbing the site of the sting with a piece of onion is considered as one of the most valuable natural home remedies for Wasp Sting. Continue this therapy for about five minutes to help relieve Wasp Sting swelling, pain and redness. Garlic also helps to cure Wasp Sting in the same way.
• Simply applying some mud or green clay on the affected area for about 15 minutes is also beneficial in easing the pain and discomfort caused by Wasp Sting.
• Lavender oil, olive oil and aloe vera gel make for good Wasp Sting natural remedies as they tend to facilitate the process of healing.
Diet for Wasp Sting
The diet for treating Wasp Sting should be aimed at aiding the natural healing process of the body. Therefore, the diet should include judicious amounts of fruits vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds rich in essential vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin C and vitamin E.
Besides, take proper preventive measures when going in isolated areas with possible hidden wasp nests. Also, as far as possible, avoid Wasp Stings by not agitating an approaching wasp by swatting it.

IDPH encouraging flu vaccine
The Illinois Department of Public Health is encouraging everyone ages 6 months or older who has not yet received the seasonal flu vaccine to get it this week as part of National Influenza Vaccination Week.
Vaccination is particularly important for people who are most vulnerable to developing serious flu complications, including those with chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes and heart disease.
“This year it is more important than ever to get your flu shot to help avoid being co-infected with flu and COVID-19,” said Dr. Ngozi Ezike, director of the state health department. “Not only could being infected with both a flu virus and the virus that causes COVID-19 result in severe health complications for individuals, it also places a tremendous burden on our health care system and health care workers who are being stretched due to the increase in COVID-19 cases. If you have not already received your flu shot, get it as soon as possible to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your community.”

The increased magnification can also be helpful for activities like hunting, marine activities, and surveillance.

Some models may also feature additional features like image stabilization, waterproofing, and fog-proofing for enhanced usability in various environmental conditions.

Choosing the Right 12X Binoculars: A Buyer’s Guide
Selecting the ideal 12X binoculars involves considering several crucial factors to ensure optimal performance and user satisfaction. From magnification power and lens quality to durability and portability, every aspect plays a crucial role in enhancing your viewing experience. Understanding these key considerations will empower you to make an informed decision and choose binoculars that best suit your needs.
Optical Quality And Clarity
One should consider the optical quality and clarity when choosing 12x binoculars because these factors directly impact the viewing experience. High-quality optics ensure sharp and detailed images, allowing you to see distant objects with clarity and precision. Superior optical components also contribute to better light transmission, resulting in brighter and clearer views even in low light conditions. By prioritizing optical quality and clarity, you can enhance your observational pursuits, whether it’s birdwatching, stargazing, or enjoying nature. Investing in binoculars with excellent optical performance ensures you can fully appreciate the beauty of the world around you.
Field Of View
Considering the Field of View when choosing 12x binoculars is crucial as it determines the width of the observable area at a specific distance, vital for spotting and tracking moving subjects. A wider field of view allows for better situational awareness and easier tracking of objects in motion, enhancing the overall viewing experience. Especially with higher magnification like 12x, a wider field of view helps prevent the sensation of tunnel vision and makes it easier to locate and follow subjects, whether observing wildlife, sports events, or any other fast-paced activities. Opting for binoculars with a generous field of view can significantly enhance your viewing pleasure.
One important factor to consider when choosing 12x binoculars is the lens diameter. The lens diameter of binoculars directly impacts the amount of light that enters the device, affecting the brightness and clarity of the image you see through the binoculars. A larger lens diameter allows more light to enter, resulting in a brighter image with better detail and contrast, especially in low-light conditions. Therefore, selecting 12x binoculars with an appropriate lens diameter can significantly enhance your viewing experience, providing you with clear, crisp images for a more enjoyable and effective use of the binoculars.
Eye Relief And Comfort
One should consider eye relief and comfort when choosing 12x binoculars for a more enjoyable viewing experience. Adequate eye relief ensures that users can comfortably view through the binoculars without straining their eyes, especially for extended periods. Longer eye relief is particularly important for individuals who wear glasses, as it allows them to maintain a proper viewing distance. Additionally, comfortable eye relief helps prevent eye fatigue and improves overall viewing clarity and stability. By selecting 12x binoculars with suitable eye relief, users can enhance their viewing pleasure, avoid discomfort, and make the most of their outdoor adventures or events.
Durability And Weather Resistance
Durability and weather resistance are crucial factors to consider when choosing 12x binoculars. These features ensure that the binoculars can withstand the rigors of outdoor use, providing long-lasting functionality and reliable performance in various weather conditions. A durable construction protects the internal components from damage due to accidental drops or rough handling, while weather resistance safeguards against moisture, dust, and other environmental elements that could potentially harm the optics.

Understanding Magnification And Lens Size
When choosing 12X binoculars, understanding magnification and lens size is crucial for making an informed decision. Magnification refers to how much closer an object will appear compared to the naked eye. A 12X magnification means objects will appear 12 times closer than they actually are. Higher magnification allows for more detailed viewing but may result in a narrower field of view and shakier images unless supported by a steady hand or tripod.
In combination with magnification, the lens size of binoculars plays a vital role in determining the amount of light that enters the optical system. The lens size is represented by the second number in the binocular specifications. For example, in 12X50 binoculars, the lens size is 50mm. Larger lens sizes let in more light, resulting in brighter images and better performance in low-light conditions. However, they can make binoculars heavier and bulkier.
It’s important to strike a balance between magnification and lens size based on your intended use. If you plan on observing distant objects in well-lit conditions, a 12X magnification with a reasonable lens size, such as 50mm, would be a suitable choice. On the other hand, if you require better low-light performance or portability, you might opt for a smaller lens size, like 42mm, even with the 12X magnification. Balancing these factors will ensure you get the best viewing experience with your 12X binoculars.
Top Features To Consider In 12X Binoculars
When choosing 12x binoculars, several key features should be considered to ensure you get the best functionality and performance. Firstly, the magnification power of 12x offers a high level of zoom for detailed viewing of distant objects.

NEYMAR has said that Qatar 2022 will probably be his last World Cup.
He will only be 34 when 2026 comes round, but the mental strain is proving too much.
There is an eerie echo of Pele in all of this. After falling to injury in the early stages of 1962 and being kicked out of 1966, Pele was adamant that he would not play Mexico 70.
He relented, of course, and left the global stage on a high. He would have been approaching 34 at the time of the 1974 World Cup. But nothing, not musical pleas or government campaigns, would change his mind.
Pele remains Brazil’s all time top scorer - a remarkable achievement. South American sides have had many more games since the current marathon World Cup qualification format was introduced in 1996.
With the lone exception of Brazil, all of the South American top scorers are current or recently retired players.
And Pele, too, will almost certainly be overtaken by Neymar - perhaps in the course of the Qatar World Cup. This will seem like sacrilege to some.
But it will be much easier to swallow if Neymar can lead Brazil to their first World Cup triumph in twenty years.
The air of permanent adolescent makes it hard to believe, but the Paris Saint Germain star will be approaching 31 at Qatar 2022 - almost to the day the age that Pele was when he bowed out of international football with a pair of friendlies in 1971.
It is an uncanny statistic that highlights the difference in the two careers - and the difficulties of trying to follow in Pele’s footsteps.
Pele at almost 31 had done it all. He had won the World Cup three times. A brilliant teenager in 1958 and as a mature genius in 1970.
True, injury prevented him doing much in 1962, which is a massive shame. Back then he was at the peak of his powers - demonstrated clearly while playing for Santos in the second leg of the Club World Cup at the end of that year.
The competition, still in its early years, was taken extremely seriously.
And after only losing 3-2 in Brazil, Benfica of Portugal considered themselves as favourites back in Lisbon.
Pele ran riot, scoring and making the goals that put Santos five nil up.
In contrast, the World Cup has been cruel to Neymar. Just too young for 2010, he was forced out of 2014 by injury and, antics aside, did as well in 2018 as could have been expected on his recovery from a lengthy lay-off.
He was also injured for the 2019 Copa America and missed Brazil’s triumph.
The 2013 Confederations Cup and Olympic gold three years later are scant consolation.
Qatar 2022 will define his international career. And the problem is that the bar set by Pele’s generation is so high.
Most read in Sport
As far as the Brazilian public are concerned, there are only two possible outcomes in a World Cup; either Brazil win, or they lose.
It is a harsh perspective on a 32-team competition, but that is how it is. And, to go into the gallery of genuine greats, Neymar will have to win.
It is hardly a surprise, then, that he is feeling the strain.

Cane Corsos are large, powerful dogs that were originally bred in Italy for hunting. Today, they are still used for hunting and guarding, but they are also popular family pets. Cane Corsos are known for being loyal and protective, but they can also be headstrong and stubborn. One thing that many people wonder about Cane Corsos is whether or not they drool a lot.
It turns out that whether or not a Cane Corso drools depends on several factors, including the dog’s age, health, and diet. For example, young dogs and dogs with allergies or other health problems are more likely to drool than healthy adult dogs. And, dogs that eat a lot of wet food or drink a lot of water are also more likely to drool than those that don’t.
So, if you’re wondering whether or not Cane Corsos drool a lot, the answer is that it depends. But, in general, they don’t drool any more than other breeds of dogs.
Why Do Some Cane Corsi Drool More Than Others?
Regardless of the reason, drooling is a normal part of being a Cane Corso and is nothing to be concerned about. Another reason may be that Cane Corsos are very active dogs and may be more likely to drool when they are panting. There are a number of reasons why some Cane Corsos may drool more than others. One reason may be due to the fact that Cane Corsos have a very strong jaw, which can lead to more drooling. Finally, some Cane Corsos may simply have a genetic disposition to drooling more than others.
What Is the Purpose of Those Big Jowls?
The big jowls on a Cane Corso are there for a reason – they help to catch and collect drool. Without them, the dog’s face would be constantly wet and covered in saliva. The jowls also help to protect the dog’s face from injury when they are playing or working.
What Triggers Drooling?
Finally, if they are hot or thirsty, they may start to drool. One is when they are excited or happy. Another trigger is when they are hungry. When they see their owner or someone they love, they may start to drool. There are a few things that can trigger drooling in a Cane Corso. If they see food or smell it, they may start to drool.
Other Possible Causes of Excessive Drooling and When to Be Concerned
There are a few other possible causes of excessive drooling in dogs, including:
-Allergies: If your dog is drooling more than usual and also has other symptoms like itchiness, runny eyes, or sneezing, they may be allergic to something in their environment.
-Gastrointestinal issues: If your dog is drooling and also has other symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or loss of appetite, they may have an upset stomach or another gastrointestinal issue.
-Dental problems: If your dog is drooling and also has bad breath, they may have a dental problem like gingivitis or periodontitis.
If your dog is drooling excessively and you’re concerned, it’s always best to consult with your veterinarian. They can help you determine if there is a medical reason for the drooling and recommend the best course of treatment.
How to Deal With the Drool
They are now popular pets in the United States, but their size and strength can sometimes be a challenge for owners. Cane corsos are large, powerful dogs that were originally bred in Italy for hunting and guarding. One of the most common questions about cane corsos is whether they drool a lot.
Some cane corsos do drool a lot, while others may only drool when they are excited or nervous. The answer to this question depends on the individual dog. If your dog is a heavy drooler, there are a few things you can do to manage the mess.
Second, keep a towel or cloth nearby to wipe up any drool that does occur. A dog that is not getting enough water is more likely to drool. Finally, if your dog is prone to drooling, be sure to give him plenty of opportunity to rest and relax. First, make sure your dog is well-hydrated. A tired dog is less likely to drool than one who is full of energy.
With a little management, you can keep the drool under control. If you have a cane corsos that drools a lot, don’t despair.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do Cane Corsos drool a lot?
It depends on the individual dog. Some Cane Corsos may drool more than others, depending on factors such as health, age, and diet.
2. Why do some Cane Corsos drool more than others?
There are a few reasons why some Cane Corsos may drool more than others. One reason could be due to health issues such as allergies or dental problems. Another reason could be age-related, as older dogs tend to drool more. Finally, diet can also be a factor, as dogs who eat more soft or wet food may drool more.
3. Is it normal for a Cane Corso to drool?
Yes, it is perfectly normal for a Cane Corso to drool. However, if you notice that your dog is drooling more than usual, it could be a sign of a health problem and you should take them to the vet.
4. How can I stop my Cane Corso from drooling?
There is no guaranteed way to stop your Cane Corso from drooling. However, you can try to reduce the amount of drool by feeding them dry food, brushing their teeth regularly, and keeping their gums healthy.

Successful pregnancy after mucinous cystic neoplasm with invasive carcinoma of the pancreas in a patient with polycystic ovarian syndrome: a case report
Journal of Medical Case Reports volume 11, Article number: 188 (2017)
The incidence of invasive cancer within a mucinous cystic neoplasm of the pancreas varies between 6 and 36%. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism and anovulatory infertility. One surgical treatment that can restore endocrine balance and ovulation in polycystic ovarian syndrome is partial ovarian destruction. Successful pregnancies following preconception pancreaticoduodenectomies (Whipple procedures) and chemoradiation to treat pancreatic neoplasms have been reported rarely but none were diagnosed with pre-cancer polycystic ovarian syndrome-associated infertility. Gemcitabine is an antimetabolite drug used for the treatment of pancreatic cancer that can have profound detrimental effects on oogenesis and ovarian function. Whether the ovarian destructive property of gemcitabine could act as a method to restore ovulation potential in polycystic ovarian syndrome is unknown.
A 40-year-old white American woman with a history of pancreatic cancer treatment with a Whipple procedure and chemoradiation with gemcitabine had a successful pregnancy after years of pre-cancerous anovulatory infertility and polycystic ovarian syndrome. She received no fertility agents and delivered full term via a spontaneous vaginal delivery with no pregnancy complications.
Gemcitabine treatment for pancreatic cancer may result in resumption of ovulation in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome and these women should be counseled accordingly.
Mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs) of the pancreas comprise up to 25% of all resected cystic neoplasms [1, 2]. They originate in the pancreatic duct epithelium, are mostly slow growing, and almost exclusively occur in women . The incidence of invasive carcinoma associated with MCN varies between 6 and 36% [4, 5]. The histologic features of the invasive component may be identical to typical ductal adenocarcinoma of the pancreas, but other types of invasive carcinoma have also been reported.
The usual surgical procedure performed for primary pancreatic malignancy is the Whipple procedure or pancreaticoduodenectomy . Radiation, chemotherapy, or both (chemoradiation) may be added as an adjunctive in selected cases.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in reproductive-aged women and typically presents with insulin-resistance, hirsutism, and anovulatory infertility . The incidence of PCOS is approximately 7% of reproductive-aged women and 51% of normogonadotrophic anovulatory women . While there are a number of definitions of PCOS at least two of the three following elements must be present for a diagnosis: oligo/anovulation, hyperandrogenism, or polycystic ovaries on ultrasound. The etiology is largely unknown and treatment has included lifestyle modification , medications , and partial surgical destruction of the ovary  with wedge resection or ovarian drilling. The mechanism responsible for restoring ovulation after partial ovarian destruction is unknown.
Gemcitabine is a fluorinated nucleoside antimetabolite drug used for treatment of cancer of the pancreas and can have profound detrimental adverse effects on oogenesis . A recent report suggests gemcitabine specifically is detrimental to preantral and antral ovarian follicles as well as non-luteinized granulosa cells .
Whether the ovarian disruption associated with gemcitabine can have effects on restoring ovulation similar to partial surgical destruction in PCOS is unknown.
We present a case of a woman with a history of 14 years of PCOS-induced anovulatory infertility and MCN-associated pancreatic cancer treated with a Whipple procedure, radiation, chemotherapy, and gemcitabine who had a successful conception and full-term delivery.
A 35-year-old gravida 0 white American woman with a 14-year history of unprotected intercourse without conception secondary to PCOS and 8 pack years of smoking presented to an emergency room with a lump in her left abdomen and sharp, left-sided, intermittent pain of 2 months’ duration. She was admitted and a computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of her abdomen and pelvis showed an 18×19 cm left retroperitoneal mass (Fig. 1). Her body mass index (BMI) at admission was 29.9. She was discharged from the hospital and referred to a regional oncology service for further evaluation.
Two weeks later she underwent an endoscopic ultrasound that revealed the mass was compressing her stomach, pancreas, and esophagus. She had a fine-needle aspiration removing 60 milliliters of thick brown fluid with pathology showing only acute inflammatory cells. Staging CT scans were performed and there was no evidence of distant metastasis. A positron emission tomography (PET) scan displayed hypermetabolic activity at the periphery of the mass. Four weeks after her initial presentation, she underwent an exploratory laparotomy and decompression of the pancreatic mass yielding 2 liters of fluid. An attempt was made to resect the body of the pancreas but significant adhesions were noted and surgery was abandoned. The final pathology report was MCN and low grade dysplasia. A postoperative CT scan 2 weeks after her surgery showed the mass had increased in size to 20.3×15.1 cm with multiple septations. On a follow-up visit with her surgical oncologist her BMI was 29.1. At this point she was transferred to a centralized oncology center for surgical evaluation and management of the pancreatic mass with at least low grade dysplasia. Fourteen weeks after her initial presentation she underwent a Whipple procedure and splenectomy, removal of a retroperitoneal mass yielding 1.5 liters of mucinous material and an omental flap. Ovarian transposition was not performed. An 18 cm multiloculated cystic mass was present at the distal tip of the tail of her pancreas. Her final pathology revealed stage 1B invasive adenocarcinoma arising in the MCN with extensive high grade dysplasia (PTX N0 M0). All 37 lymph nodes were negative with negative venous or lymphatic invasion and the closest margin of 6 cm.
She returned to the regional cancer center and started single-agent gemcitabine 8 weeks postoperation. After four cycles, her post-chemotherapy CT scan showed no evidence of metastatic disease. She was started on concurrent fluorouracil (5FU) and targeted pancreatic radiation therapy 24 weeks after her definitive surgery and finished 25 fractions with minimal side effects and standard shielding. When she started her radiation her BMI was 32.4. Fifteen months after her initial presentation a quantitative beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) was obtained and returned 5783 mIU/ml. She had not changed sexual partners. An ultrasound revealed an intrauterine pregnancy with no embryonic pole or heartbeat. She had a spontaneous abortion at 6 weeks. There was no note of ovarian morphological abnormality. Her repeat CT scan 1 year later showed no evidence of pancreatic disease and she entered cancer surveillance at that time.
She first presented to our service 50 months after her initial presentation as a 40-year-old gravida 2-0-0-1-0 at 19 weeks’ gestation. She gave a history of an extensive infertility workup in the past prior to her cancer treatment which was consistent with PCOS-induced anovulation. Male factor workup was negative and she had attempted conception with the standard PCOS methods including timed intercourse after attempted medically induced ovulation without success. Weight loss did not result in conception. She did not attempt more invasive assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization. Her targeted fetal ultrasound was normal as were serial obstetric scans. Her pregnancy was uneventful and standard prenatal testing was normal. She maintained normoglycemia on orally administered hypoglycemic agents. At 38 weeks, she had labor induced and delivered vaginally a healthy baby with Apgar score of 8/9 and birth weight of 2865 grams. She was discharged with her baby 2 days after her delivery.
This is the first report of a conception without the use of assisted reproductive technology and a successful term delivery in a woman with PCOS-induced anovulatory infertility after treatment with a Whipple procedure and chemoradiation. We performed a MEDLINE search of the English language literature and found two cases reporting preconception Whipple procedure [13, 14]. In neither case was conception achieved subsequent to chemotherapy, radiation exposure, and a pre-existing diagnosis of PCOS.
One of the suggested treatments of PCOS-induced anovulatory infertility is weight loss. However, our patient had no significant BMI changes and she had not even started an exercise program during her entire post-cancer preconception treatment so it is unlikely that any modification of lifestyle was operative in her sudden ovulation. In addition, she never took metformin which is an off-label but commonly used form of treatment for PCOS infertility. She conceived twice after taking four cycles of gemcitabine which is the only chemical she ingested that is known to be consistently toxic to gonads. It is unlikely that radiation was involved in her sudden resumption of ovulation since pelvic irradiation is known to result in diminished fertility potential .
There has been one report investigating molecular markers of human fertility related to chemotherapy involving gemcitabine indirectly. Chatzidarellis et al.  reported the effects of taxane-based chemotherapy on inhibin B and gonadotropins in males. Of their study participants, 60% were also on gemcitabine. They found a significant decrease in inhibin B, which represents Sertoli cell function, an increase in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) which is suppressed by inhibin B, and decrease in bilateral testicular volume. Furthermore, one animal study concluded that the anti-metabolite cancer drug gemcitabine was detrimental to preantral and antral follicles as well as mitotic non-luteinized granulosa cells . Whether these data apply to females and ovarian changes is unknown but this is a suggestion that gemcitabine can, in fact, be associated with ovarian damage that may be consistent with the partial ovarian destruction that is a treatment method for PCOS-induced infertility . Our patient’s unexpected resumption of ovulation and subsequent pregnancies could be unrelated to the effects of gemcitabine on her fertility axis but if there is a possible related relationship then reproductive-aged women with PCOS-induced infertility treated with gemcitabine should be aware that pregnancy is possible and proceed accordingly.
In summary, women with PCOS-induced anovulatory infertility who are post-Whipple procedure and chemoradiation using gemcitabine should be counseled to use contraception if they do not desire pregnancy. Another option is a bilateral salpingectomy at the time of the Whipple procedure if they desire permanent sterilization.
This is a case of a pregnancy and term delivery following a Whipple procedure for IB adenocarcinoma of the pancreas discovered in a MCN in a 40-year-old woman. This case is very unusual because this patient had polycystic ovarian disease and anovulatory infertility for 14 years prior to her cancer. Her cancer was treated with surgery and chemoradiation. One of the chemotherapeutic agents used was gemcitabine which is known to have toxicity to ovaries. One of the treatments for PCOS infertility is partial ovarian destruction. Our patient resumed ovulation after her treatment. She had the same sexual partner, did not lose weight, and did not change her lifestyle. The important element to this case, in our opinion, is that women with PCOS who do not desire pregnancy and are scheduled for gemcitabine should be counseled about the possibility of resumption of ovulation.

Feleini-Arat Atmospheric Fighter Carrier
The Clone Wars brought about new revelations in technology which inspired
a great evolution of war machines to be created. One of the more
successful weapons of war brought to the galactic battle fields was a
joint venture by Arakyd (widely known for its droid designs) and a
somewhat established military speeder company known as Feleini-Arat
RepulsorMotors. The atmospheric fighter carriers (AFC) as it was known
would prove to be an efficiently deadly weapon in planetary maneuvers.
The AFC was extremely expensive, incorporating the most up to date
technology of the day. It was originally intended to carry four
sentient-piloted combat airspeeders safely into a combat zone but the
designers found they could carry twice that number in compact automated
Equipped with powerful shield generators designed to deflect even the
most powerful ground-based fire the AFC represents an impressive foe on
the battle field. While not armed, the AFC does carry eight Arakyd droid
interceptors which can either operate on their own or be controlled from
within the carrier itself. However, for security reasons, each droid
fighter is programmed to self-destruct if its link to the command ship is
severed, to prevent the fighter from falling into enemy hands.
Typically AFCs are positioned above a battle on the surface to provide
ground forces with adequate air support. They have been deployed in large
numbers during a number of major conflicts in which they proved to be the
deciding factor in the outcome. The droid interceptors effectively lay
down an unrelenting attack upon any and all enemy aircraft, ground
vehicles and troops.
The main downfall of the AFC is its sheer size. At nearly 79 meters in
length it is perhaps one of the largest repulsorlift vehicles to ever be
sent into combat. Its size makes it extremely difficult to transport from
planet to planet as most starships are physically unable to store the
immense machines. Due to this, the AFC was never as common of a sight
across the galaxy as the Republic wanted it to be.

Arakyd Droid Interceptor
Arakyd's droid interceptor was originally designed solely for use in the Republic's AFC combat vehicles. However, with their effectiveness when deployed on the battle field, Arakyd quickly decided to begin marketing them by themselves.
The droid itself is compact and streamlined for increased speed as well as maneuverability. Its main drive is not the repulsorlift generators but a pair of small and powerful ion engines designed specifically for it, boosting the droid up to six hundred kilometers per hour.
The droid is armed with a pair of fire-linked blaster cannons primarily intended for use against troops and light combat vehicles such as airspeeders and speeder bikes. Arakyd also incorporated a small deflector shield generator, a concept popular among the war droids used by the Trade Federation.

Senso Optics, a leader in the design, development and production of innovative thermal imaging technologies, commercial avionics, and advanced electro-optical solutions for military, paramilitary and security markets both in Israel and around the world, introduces the X-SEETM. The X-SEETM is an advanced new generation of All-Weather Thermal Miniature Mono-Scope, based on Senso-Optics' "Camera-On-Chip" (ASIC) technology, which has been introduced recently. The X-SEETM feature miniature and light-weight design, superior image quality, and ease of use.
In the past, military and law enforcement agencies used to have night vision goggles on their helmets, which were based on image intensifier tube. Since these devices amplify every single photon which hits the tube, they were sensitive to dazzle. As well as, image intensifier tubes do not enable recognition of figures which hidden behind trees or other objects in full darkness. Thermal imagers are not sensitive to dazzle, and can detect hot bodies, thus enable recognition of figures in full darkness, even if they hide behind rocks or trees. Therefore, today more and more military and law enforcements equipped the soldiers with thermal scopes. Senso-Optics' new X-SEE™ is an advanced thermal imager for the solider, Search & Rescue experts and homeland security (HLS) operators, and is a perfect modern replacement solution for AN/PVS-14 Night-Vision device, with unmatched night D.R.I ranges.
The X-SEE™ is designed to be used by the "Future/Digital Dismounted Soldier" as a Hand-Held or Helmet mounted miniScope.
X-SEE™ is the lightest and smallest thermal monoscope in the market, with dimensions as small as 110L X 38W X 57H mm. Featuring an Un-cooled bolometer with 640480, 17micron pixel pitch resolution, and best sensitivity (NETD), the X-SEE™ offers superior image quality for day/night/all-Weather operations.
The X-SEE™ has X1 magnification, 31.2º H x 23.4º V Field of View (FOV). The Viewfinder incorporate miniature display (OLED) with SVGA (800X600) resolution.
Low power consumption enables up to 10 (!) hours of work with only 2 lithium batteries. "X-SEE™ provides an outstanding image quality within a small Size, light-Weight and low Power (SWAP), with special features and extended operating time and performance system" says Jacob Dagan - President & CEO of Senso Optics. "Special care was taken for quantities and life cycle costs (e.g. consume of batteries etc.), Man-Machine interface (GUI), ease of use and handling features."

Though it's unclear what the two might discuss, Palin's camp would certainly benefit from a photo op with one of the conservative movement's most famous figures. "Palin's big hero is Ronald Reagan," a source told British news outlet the Daily Mail. "In U.S. Republican folklore Thatcher and Reagan brought down the Soviet Union between them. That's why Maggie is so important." Palin has not hinted at any plans to visit the current prime minister, David Cameron, prompting one person involved in setting up the talks to comment, “Their main interest is getting a picture of her with Lady Thatcher. I'm not sure they know who David Cameron is." No date for the meeting has been set.

Written by Ayano Hayes, SPAWN’s Watershed Biologist
The 2020 coho salmon smolt year in Marin County’s San Geronimo Creek is off to a big start!
When coho salmon are born in the freshwater creeks, they spend 1-1.5 years growing and preparing for their adult phase in the ocean, where they will spend another 1.5 years before coming back to lay their eggs in the freshwater system where they were born. The process, known as “smoltification,” prepares salmon for saltwater intake and the ocean environment—changing physiologically and morphologically, internally and externally.
SPAWN installed a smolt trap on San Geronimo Creek to gather data on the 2020 smolt class that is making their journey downstream. In the wake of COVID-19, SPAWN is social distancing, wearing masks, and taking precautionary steps to limit any shared contact while monitoring.
Since installing the traps on April 17, SPAWN has come across a little over 2,000 coho smolts, marking a significant count for this endangered species! We timed the installment of the trap following the lunar cycle, ensuring we have the trap in the creek on the darkest night of the month, April 22. The theory is that fish will take advantage of the dark night as they move downstream, in order to swim unseen by any predators. Coincidentally, the days following the new moon, we had record numbers of fish migrating since installment. On the contrary, as the full moon approaches on May 7, we have seen dwindling counts of fish migrating.
In retrospect, 2017 was the last time SPAWN recorded smolt counts. The total for the whole 2017 season was around 380 coho smolts. With our current numbers, and only being half way through the season, this is looking like a promising outmigration year. Salmon live a three-year lifecycle, so as we bid farewell to the smolts we’ve seen thus far and wish them luck in the big ocean, we hope to see them soon as adults spawning within the Lagunitas Watershed in winter 2021-2022!

Hill: Ailsa Craig
Date: Sunday 5th June 2016
Company: Myself and John
Ailsa Craig is an uninhabited island located approximately 10 miles from mainland Scotland in the outer Firth of Clyde. It is formed from the volcanic plug of an extinct volcano. The microgranite of Ailsa Craig is
relatively rare with arfvedsonite and acmite. If you are interested in the
geology of Ailsa Craig further information can be found
In the 1870s, fifty pairs of curling stones were exported annually. By 1890, this number had risen to 1,000 pairs per annum. Two types of granite are normally used for Ailsa Craig curling stones, Blue Hone and Common Green.
Anyway enough of providing some background information. A couple of months ago I put my name forward for a space on the boat to Ailsa Craig. Boats were to be chartered for trips to Ailsa Craig and Great Cumbrie as part of the annual Marilyn-bagging get together. While I would not be attending the dinner, not my
kind of thing, I was keen to get to Ailsa Craig. Thanks to Rick for organising the boats.
On Sunday morning, I left my base in Stranraer to drive 30 miles back up the coast to Girvan. On arriving in Girvan, I met up with my friend John and ten others keen to visit Ailsa Craig. As we had a full compliment of passengers for the boat, the cost was a mere £25 for the return trip. A bargain!
Once aboard the Glorious, we set sail for Ailsa Craig. The crossing was rougher than expected.
The small boat swayed from side to side as we undertook the ten mile crossing
with splashes from the swell occasionally coming in over the side.
Marilyn baggers aboard the Glorious:
It was difficult to take photos with a horizontal horizon whilst aboard the boat due to the swell.
From the pier, John and I walked past the derelict gas works where the nearby tramway was used to transport coal to the North Port
until 1911 when the lighthouse was converted to run on electricity.
Derelict gas works:
Beyond the gas works, we walked behind the small cottage to find the start of the path heading up Ailsa Craig. As far as I am aware this is the only walking route up Ailsa Craig.
Cottage used by RSPB:
The path is narrow, somewhat overgrown with bracken and heather, and quite exposed. If you don't have a bit of a head for heights, you might not like ascending/descending Ailsa Craig.
Gasworks, cottage used by RSPB and lighthouse during initial ascent:
We took care during the initial ascent as the consequences of a slip would not be good.
Looking back to the lighthouse during initial steep descent:
On switching back towards Ailsa Castle the gradient is less steep and safer as far as the castle.
Approaching the ruined castle:
The castle was built in the 1500s by the Clan Hamilton.
The section of ascent beyond the castle is the steepest and most overgrown.
Sheer terror at steep ascent
Beyond the steep ascent there is a level section of path through bracken. If you don't like walking through long bracken
it is probably best to head to Ailsa Craig in April or May. I reckoned the
risk of ticks was low as there are no sheep or deer on the island.
Path through the bracken:
Beyond the horizontal section there is another short steepish section. Beyond it
is straight-forward to the summit.
Path heading steeply upwards:
Small outcrops above:
Onto easier terrain:
The fragrance was lovely as we walked through Sea Campion, Bluebells and Cuckoo flowers.
Path heading up through Sea Campion and Bluebells:
Two people ahead on the overgrown path:
On the easier section, we passed countless gulls and a rock pipit. We also saw
the remains of a gull and two rabbits which I suspect were killed by a
Path through lots of wild flowers:
Final ascent to the summit:
On reaching the trig point, we spent around thirty minutes up there looking
around and taking photos.
Trig point located fifteen metres from the summit rock:
Foreland Point just visible from the trig point:
Myself at the trig point:
Unfortunately, views were lacking due to haze. We could just make out Arran and Holy Isle both of which we visited in May 2015. We could not
however see Ireland where Ailsa Craig is affectionately known as Paddy's Milestone.
Hazy looking north:
Liz and Peter ascending to the summit:
Our boat party at the summit:
Great black-backed gull below the summit:
Once our party had all visited the summit we made our way back down the hill.
The lighthouse and castle from above during the descent:
On reaching the castle I had a look inside.
Looking out to Ailsa Craig from inside Ailsa Castle:
We then descended to the shore and had a look around the lighthouse.
Ailsa Craig lighthouse:
Ailsa Craig lighthouse:
Ailsa Craig lighthouse plaque:
Evidence of curling stone production:
I then sat on the pier, bird and boat watching for twenty minutes. The best of Ailsa Craig was
however yet to come.
If visiting Ailsa Craig you must sail round the rear of the island. The
cliffs on the farside of the island are impressive. I have previously visited the cliffs on Foula in Shetland and have
also visited St. Kilda. The cliffs at the rear of Ailsa Craig are every bit as good!
Aboard the Glorious for a circuit of the island:
Heading round towards the west of the island:
During our sail round the island, I spotted countless gannet, guillemot, cormorant,
The gannetry on Ailsa Craig is apparently home to 36,000 pairs of gannets.
Cliffs (source of curling stone granite):
As I couldn't fit the whole of Ailsa Craig into a single photo, I took a few photos which I joined up at home using Autostitch.
Ailsa Craig panorama:
Looking back to the granite cliffs:
The smiles on everyone's faces said it all. Only the sea stacks at St Kilda top this.
Heading back round towards Ailsa Castle:
Ailsa Craig lighthouse:
One of numerous gannets:
On returning to the pier, our captain agreed to tow a broken-down RIB back
from Ailsa Craig to Girvan. This meant we had five extra passengers on board
and two dogs, so it was cozy. The drag of towing the RIB meant the return
journey took one hour longer than expected but no-one was caring.
Towing a broken-down RIB from Ailsa Craig back to Girvan:
If you get the opportunity to visit Ailsa Craig, take it.
