The Sopranos took a hit, but it didn't get whacked by the Emmy Awards
The second installment of the fourth season of Home Box Office's mob dramedy
pulled a 21.1 rating/28 share in the premium network's universe Sept. 22,
according to Nielsen Media Research data. The show attracted 7.2 million
households and 11.2 million viewers.
Squaring up against NBC's presentation of the Emmys, ratings were off 9
percent from The Sopranos' season-opener Sept. 15, which garnered a
23.3/31 share in HBO homes. With 7.9 million households and 13.4 million
viewers, that installment was the most-watched program in HBO history.
By way of comparison, the Sept. 22 show held up much better than its
counterpart during the third Sopranos season. The second premiere
installment produced a 16.7 rating, versus a 20.6 average for the twin episodes
that opened the third season.

Federated Wireless last week celebrated a milestone in the launch of its CINQ XP platform, a sort of Uber for spectrum in that it will be allocated when and where people need it.
CINQ XP is the company's first commercial product that provides a private, cloud-based network for carriers to share spectrum and it will facilitate the use of the company's proprietary Spectrum Access System once testing and certification are completed.
"We think it's a very big milestone for a variety of reasons," Iyad Tarazi, CEO of Federated Wireless, told FierceWirelessTech. For one thing, when the movement started, people were not sure that cloud and sensor technologies had advanced to the point where they can actually be part of a self-managed, high-capacity, high-throughput calculation system. "It's a massive effort to run the code," with multiple propagation, analysis and visualization models that must be constantly refreshed. "We feel pretty good about the technology maturity" that has gotten to this stage.
Federated Wireless is now ready to continue down the path of certification with the FCC. One of the exciting things about the 3.5 GHz ecosystem is the large number of developers, users, manufacturers and service providers that are interested in applying and testing it. The company is in talks with potential trial partners and is excited about the prospects, he said.
Federated Wireless has been working on developing the ecosystem and standards for the 3.5 GHz band since the FCC came out with its rules for innovative spectrum sharing in the band in April. It's been working with the FCC, other government agencies and the Wireless Innovation Forum (WinnForum). And it shares with the likes of Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) an interest in seeing the 3.5 GHz ecosystem develop. Google consistently has supported the use of interconnected SASs to manage coexistence in the 3.55 GHz bands.
Tarazi said the platform is sort of like a giant 3D planning tool. Given the uncertainty of sharing, for a lot of players, it's easier if they have a planning environment where they can run the analytics, find the spectrum they need, see how far the propagation models go and so on. The company is also collaborating with Intel through the Network Builders program, which helps extend the 3.5 GHz ecosystem in terms of chipsets, radios and cloud support.
"This system is built to be self-aware," Tarazi said. The system detects where spectrum is available on the fly, getting data from sensors that are now being tested. Federated Wireless announced in September that it was collaborating with the National Advanced Spectrum and Communications Test Network (NASCTN) on the first pilot test of an Environmental Sensor Capability (ESC) for the company's SAS.
The plan calls for deploying sensors along coasts and in areas of military use; the system is being designed to detect in real time how spectrum is being used. It's also able to get information from commercial users and it includes 3D models of buildings, streets, foliage and other environmental elements for the real-time determining of how spectrum is being used. It's all running on a version of Amazon Cloud that is built for high-security applications.
Federated Wireless started the development in 2013. Based on the FCC's schematics, the spectrum will come in three layers as part of a priority scheme. The highest priority users primarily are the existing military users that use relatively little spectrum but it's very important to protect them. The next layer in line is those who bid at auction for a priority license, and the last group consists of the general access users, where the system will minimize the interference so that it will be higher quality spectrum than a lot of today's crowded Wi-Fi spectrum.

I've already gushed about Bebel Gilberto once on this blog, so beware of more gushing here. I love Gilberto's first CD, Tanto Tempo, even though it was a bit uneven. Her second full-length CD of originals is even better than Tanto Tempo. She has found the style she is most comfortable with and made a complete album that focuses on her strengths: light, relaxed Brazilian pop/bossa nova sounds and her sexy, breathy alto voice. For the most part, the production stays away from electronica that crept into her previous release. Her gorgeous voice is put up front in the mix. That's always a gamble, put it really pays off here. If I had any complaint, it would be that there aren't enough songs sung in Portuguese. All in all, another home run for Gilberto: no filler, no crossover mess, just simple bossa. I realize it may not be everyone, but I find it incredibly relaxing.
Peak on the US Billboard Top 200 chart: #154 (June 26, 2004)
Tracks: The writers/arrangers on this CD have really outdone themselves. The lilting flute dancing atop River Song, the simple guitar accompaniment of Every Day You've Been Away, the trombone/flute duet on Winter, they all just fit. Gilberto's songwriting has gotten stronger, as evidenced by Simplesmente, a beautiful melody over a haunting chord progression. Not a weak track to be found here.
Personal Memory Associated with this CD: Every time I listen to Bebel Gilberto, I inevitably think, "I need to listen to Bebel Gilberto more often."

Cultivation of canola (oilseed rape, rapeseed; Brassica napus) in many parts of the world relies on the use of cultivars carrying resistance genes that recognise avirulence products of the major canola pathogen, Leptosphaeria maculans. However, widespread cultivation of plants with such resistance provides the potential for evolution of the pathogen population to overcome resistance by altering the proportion of avirulence v. virulence alleles. In this study, the frequencies of avirulence genes were measured for 2091 Australian isolates dating from the late 1980s to present. Frequencies of avirulence genes changed over time. Analysis of isolates from the Eyre Peninsula, where canola is intensively cultivated, indicated that changes in allele frequencies at the AvrLm1, AvrLm4 and AvrLm6 loci could be correlated with the widespread planting of cultivars carrying specific resistance genes. These data show that determining avirulence allele frequencies in L. maculans populations provides power to anticipate which cultivars will be most successful in future growing seasons.

Culver v. Wilkinson
Argued April 19-20, 1892
Decided May 2, 1892
145 U.S. 205
In a written instrument, a corporation declared that it held for the benefit of C. certain choses in action, stock, and bonds, which it described, and said: "The proceeds arising from the sale of said securities and recovered from said choses in action are to be applied to pay off said notes and interest," and the remainder was to be paid to C. or his legal representatives, "subject to the repayment of moneys expended" by the corporation "in prosecuting claims or selling the securities." The notes chanrobles.com-red
were described, and it was stated that C. was indebted to the corporation in their amount. Held that the declaration did not contain or imply any contract whereby the corporation was bound to prosecute claims or sell securities.
A receiver of the corporation, appointed by a court of New Jersey, having recovered in New Jersey a judgment against C. on notes given in renewal of those specified in the declaration, sued C. on the judgment in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and C. sought to give testimony of oral agreements whereby the corporation agreed to prosecute some of the claims, to pay the expenses of such prosecution, and to do various things in regard to the bonds, and that its failure to do so had caused damages to C., which he claimed to first apply in discharge of the judgment and then recover the balance. Held that the evidence was inadmissible and that it was proper to direct a verdict for the plaintiff.
The case is stated in the opinion.

She said other than cold weather, she enjoyed growing up surrounded by the close-knit community of Piedmont, S.D., a town of 220 people in the western part of the state.
Emme laughed when talking about her high school, home of the Sturgis (Biker) Rally.
“It was good, though,” she said. “There was a small-town feel everywhere.”
But her journey into the little-known sport of rifle began early on as a way to bond with her dad, Chris.
“My dad kind of got me into it,” Emme said. “It was kind of just a fun thing we did together. So I started doing that with my dad and then I started competing when I was eight years old. Then it just kind of went on from there to bigger matches as I went on.”
Emme transitioned to Sturgis Brown High School and added four more sports to her resume, lettering in basketball, softball, track and field and golf.
She said as she neared the end of her time as a Scooper at Sturgis High, she still was not 100 percent sure what she wanted to do after graduation, despite her 4-H smallbore state record.
“Even throughout high school I didn’t know quite what I wanted to do in college,” Emme said. “I had also been kind of looking at going to school on a golf scholarship, and then I just kind of sat back and went ‘okay, which one can I do everyday for the next four years,’ and I thought I could still shoot and still love it and get better and compete.”
Luckily for rifle Head Coach Alan Lollar, Emme decided to become a Racer. But, he was not without competition in her recruitment.
She was courted by multiple Division I programs coming out of high school, including now No. 3 Kentucky, No. 12 Mississippi and No. 4 Nebraska, but said Murray State was the only place for her.
“At the time, everything about Murray (State) just kind of appealed to me,” she said. “(Lollar) and the way he coaches helped me make that decision. Murray just really appealed to me because it had that small-town feel and that southern charm that it has. That’s what drew me here.”
The junior has been making a name for herself at Pat Spurgin Rifle Range since her arrival in Murray three years ago.
She was named to the All-OVC Smallbore Second Team and the OVC Newcomer Team in air rifle.
She also qualified to represent Murray State as the lone Racer at the 2011-12 NCAA Rifle Championships, and experience she said has been beneficial.
“(My first NCAA Championship event) has helped me even just in regular competition to see what I could do and what our team could do and where we could get to,” Emme said. “It has helped motivate me as well.”
In her second season, Emme expanded her horizons, being named a second team All-American in air rifle.
She was also an All-OVC First Team in air rifle and smallbore and she competed overseas.
Emme placed eighth in the Bavarian Airgun Championships held in Germany a year ago and said it was an eye opening experience on and off the range.
“It was a lot of fun,” she said. “You look up and you see a lot of big scores and you’re like ‘man, that’s really cool.’ Just getting to talk to those other shooters from other countries was really different.”
Now, after another award-winning year, Emme will once again be the sole Murray State representative at the NCAA Championships held at Pat Spurgin Rifle Range March 14-16.
She is ready to bring back some hardware for Murray State.
“I’m super excited, especially since it’s here, at Murray,” she said. “It’s going to be fun.”

Distracted driver sparks 3-vehicle collisionFebruary 25, 2020
From Local Sources
JASPER — Total damage topped $10,000 in a three-vehicle collision Wednesday afternoon on U.S. 231 near Indiana Street.
David R. Phillips, 41, Jasper, was northbound on U.S. 231 in a 2004 Honda CR-V at the time of the 3:24 p.m. accident, according to the Jasper Police Department.
Phillips stopped in traffic that was backed up from the traffic light at U.S. 231 and Second Street.
Police said the Phillips Honda was rear-ended by a 2016 Kia Optima driven by Harrison M. Wilson, 21, of Princeton.
Wilson told police his attention was distracted from the roadway and he failed to see the stopped vehicle.
The initial impact pushed the Phillips Honda into the rear of a 2017 Toyota Yaris driven by Edwin R. Chandler, 67, of Huntingburg.
Police estimated damage at $8,000 to the Wilson Kia, $1,200 to the Phillips Honda and $1,000 to the Chandler Toyota.
An officer cited Wilson for following too closely.

The Canadian province of Ontario just elected a new government that’s focussed on making Ontario worse. In a few short months they’ve done a lot of damage including messing with municipal elections (making them harder to participate in), removing a carbon plan at a cost of $3 billion, and defunded governmental roles that monitor effectiveness. In short, they are behaving like anarchists. Clearly, none of these things are good.
This led to University of Waterloo urban planner Pierre Filion wondering what happened. His conclusion is that the suburbs did it. The actual physical environment of the suburbs is a source of support for this destructive party to gain power. So if we want to build a better world step one might be to dismantle the current infrastructure supporting suburban lifestyles.
“When the planning solutions are put forward, they need to be put foward in a way that is adapted to the suburban lifestyle, to the people who are living in suburbs, and that really takes into consideration what is going to help them,” said Filion.
“I don’t mean to say that suburbs are totally negative to work with â€” this is certainly not the case â€” but it needs to be shown that what is going to be put in place is going to help them,” he said.

Bill Welch has adapted the HO scale Kadee brake gear and brake wheel detail parts to use in updating other models. Here’s Bill with his techniques.
I have known for awhile now that Kadee sells their assembled brake gear and wheel part direct to consumers. A phone call was recently placed to Sam Clark at Kadee and I ordered a variety of their parts even though I was not sure how I would attach them to models. I know Detail Associates offers brake wheel and gears but they are getting hard to find and they are not a finely rendered as the Kadee parts.
We hope everyone is enjoying their summer. It’s usually a time when home and family nudge modeling aside for many of us. The Resin Car Works crew thought you could use an update on our current kits and a sneak peek at some upcoming ones.
Lester Breuer has been busy building more freight cars. He shares his latest work for today’s blog post.
For my unbuilt Sunshine Models kits inventory to someday reach zero, I need to continue to have fun building. Therefore, I pulled this Milwaukee Road single-sheathed box car (Kit 47.3), series 711000 to 711999, for building. The prototype information and photos of this car are in the Prototype Data Sheet #47A provided in the kit which contains the only good photo of the “B” end I could find. Additional prototype images were found in the Steam Era Freight Cars Reference Manual, Vol. 1 (pages 70 and 71), and several color photos are in the Milwaukee Road Color Guide, Vol. 2 (page 7). A diagram of the car is in The Milwaukee Road Freight Cars – Official Employees’ Shop Diagrams for 1937 book (page 16).

Moving all drivers and the compositor to the service process brings many advantages to the previous in-process model. For this input and rendering needed to be sent over our new IPC infrastructure. With a separate render loop, now independent of the OpenXR client, the compositor can provide a constant frame rate, even when the application doesn't deliver frames on time. This is required and the foundation of future reprojection work, where old frames can be transformed with new tracking data for a smoother experience if the client lags behind. In addition, the obvious advantage of an out of process compositor is that the compositor can be started asynchronously to the application and run on its own without any application. This is also required for running multiple clients in the future and for implementing OpenXR extensions like XR_EXTX_overlay.
Amongst other small improvements to the compositor we improved support for direct mode on NVIDIA by recognizing more display identifiers like the Valve Index and the Oculus Rift series of HMDs.
Furthermore we improved the compositor's performance, which has a boost of up to 2x the received frame rate in certain conditions under GPU load. A small benchmark using Blender's OpenXR functionality can be seen here.
We would very much like to thank Pluto VR for sponsoring this work.
The ability for a relatively small software consultancy to contribute at this level demonstrates a fantastic improvement in vendors' mindset…

Millets are a group of grains belonging to the grass family Poaceae. People with diabetes can eat millets as part of a healthful, balanced diet.
Millets are an excellent source of fiber and contain a number of important nutrients.
This article outlines the nutritional content of millets and the different types of millets available. It also covers some research into the potential health benefits of millets for diabetes.
There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.
In people with type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce any insulin. In people with type 2 diabetes, the body either produces very little insulin or is less sensitive to its effects.
Diet plays an important role in the management of both types of diabetes.
People with diabetes can eat millets as part of a healthful, balanced diet. A registered dietitian or nutritionist can help a person develop a nutritious meal plan that incorporates millets.
What types of millets are there?
Millets are small-grained cereals belonging to the grass family Poaceae.
There are several different types of millets. Some of the most commercially available types include:
Sorghum, or great millet
How can millets benefit diabetes?
The findings of one 2018 study suggest that foxtail millet may help control blood glucose.
The study involved 64 participants with impaired glucose tolerance. Each participant ate 50 grams (g) of foxtail millet per day baked into bread. The participants ate the bread alongside their usual diet for a period of 12 weeks.
After 6 weeks, the participants’ fasting blood glucose levels decreased by 5.7%, on average. In addition, there was a 9.9% decrease in the participants’ mean 2-hour (h) glucose levels. This figure denotes a person’s blood glucose levels 2 hours after consuming glucose.
Fasting blood glucose levels and mean 2-h glucose levels remained low to the end of the 12-week study period.
The researchers suggest that the glucose-lowering effects of foxtail millet may be due to its ability to:
increase concentrations of the satiety hormone leptin
decrease insulin resistance
The researchers conclude that the consumption of foxtail millet may improve glucose control in people with type 2 diabetes. They also suggest that other whole grains could have similar effects.
One cup of cooked millet contains the following key nutrients:
6.11 g of protein
1.74 g of fat
41.2 g of carbohydrate
2.26 g of fiber
Millets are also a good source of the following nutrients:
The glycemic index and load of millets
The glycemic index (GI) is a measure of how quickly certain foods release glucose into the bloodstream. The GI scale begins at 0 and goes up to 100, with 100 representing pure glucose. Foods with lower GI scores cause a slower rise in blood glucose levels.
The glycemic load (GL) is a more accurate measure that takes into account how much glucose is available per serving of food.
Nutrition experts have differing views about the usefulness of these measures. Some experts believe that people should pay attention to both GI and GL scores. However, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommend monitoring the total carbohydrate content of foods.
A 10-year prospective study assessed diet and diabetes risk in 37,846 adults. The findings indicated that diets high in GI, GL, and starch and low in fiber were associated with an increased risk of diabetes.
Millets are an excellent source of dietary fiber, which can help slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
One 2015 study found that ready-to-cook little millet flakes had a medium GI of 52.11 and a low GL of 9.24. Due to the nutritional content of the flakes, the study authors suggest that they may be beneficial in the management of metabolic conditions.

A leading member of the FIFA Council, Amaju Pinnick, says the future of Ghana football is bright under the leadership of Kurt Okraku insisting the key stakeholders must continue to lend the necessary support to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to help the country to return to the top of world football.
The representative of the Anglophone countries on the FIFA Council launched the passionate defence of the GFA President in the wake of the attacks following the Black Stars group phase exit from the ongoing African Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
The Nigerian national expressed worries over two press statements from the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ghana in the wake of the Black Stars unimpressive showing following their group phase exit exacerbated by the defeat at the hands of the lowly Comoros Island.
Pinnick, who is also the President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), will be travelling to Ghana next month on an official visit to meet with key stakeholders as he seeks to engage them to help further stabilise the federation that recently came out of a period of normalisation.
The top football administrator says the GFA must not be judged by the performance of the Black Stars at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon revealing that the new initiatives being undertaken under the new leadership of Okraku has received overwhelming praise from his peers on the continent.
Pinnick revealed that Okraku commands 'big respect' among his peers on the African football continent which resulted in the decision of making him the President of WAFU B which points to the fact there is trust in the Ghanaian's ability to send Ghana back to the top of world football.
"We have read various media reports of statements by the ministry and if it is true, I would urge patience in the way these things have been done. There should be cooperation among the stakeholders and mutual respect among them for the betterment of Ghana football," Pinnick said on the sidelines of the 2022 World Cup playoff draw in Douala on Saturday.
"Football results are difficult to take in all aspects - from the ministry, the FA and the Ghanaian public but the key thing is that we must all come from the same page to help fix whatever went wrong and to continue to improve. We must never give an image of friction or conflict.
"As the representative of the Anglophones on the FIFA Council, I will be travelling to Ghana after the AFCON to meet with the stakeholders to help smoothen relationships and listen to concerns so we can find last solutions if there are any problems.
"We as African FA President and all our peers at CAF and FIFA have a big respect for Kurt for the work he is doing in Ghana. Ghana is a very important member of the African football family that needs all the stability after just coming out of Normalisation.
"The work Kurt has done from the grassroots level, to the domestic leagues and women's football in just two years is admirable that's why we all respect him and expect very big things of him. It is for this reason that we all agreed to make him the President of Wafu B because we have seen his qualities and know he will help to take Ghana football back to the top of world football again.
"Please let's not rock the boat. Let all the stakeholders in Ghana work together and let's all help to take Ghana football back to where it belongs with Kurt as the leader of the GFA."
The GFA has been under pressure since the Black Stars crashed out of the AFCON with the Sports Ministry calling for the sacking of coach Milovan Rajevac and his backroom staff.
The four-time champions were eliminated in the group stage at the African Cup of Nations with a 3-2 loss to tournament debutant Comoros in a shocker that eclipsed a series of big surprises already in Cameroon.
In a tumultuous game, Ghana fell behind in the fourth minute, had captain Andre Ayew harshly sent off in the 25th and was 2-0 down in the 61st.
The Ghanaians leveled with two goals in 13 minutes late in the game, only to concede again when Ahmed Mogni swept in his second in the 85th minute to give Comoros undoubtedly its biggest soccer moment ever
The killer blow for Ghana came with Ayew's red card. He slid in when Comoros goalkeeper Salim Ben Boina spilled the ball and did get a toe to the ball, but also sent his boot crashing into the keeper in his follow-through.

Psychological factors — Psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, guilt or fear can sometimes cause sexual problems. At one time, these factors were thought to be the major cause of impotence. Doctors now know that physical factors cause impotence in most men with the problem. However, embarrassment or "performance anxiety" can make a physical problem worse.
The somatosensory pathways for erections originate in the penile skin, glans and urethra. Glans afferent sensory free nerve endings are 10-fold more than their corpuscular receptors, and are derived from Aδ and unmyelinated C fibers. The nerve endings coalesce to form the dorsal penile nerve along with other sensory nerve fibers. Through the pudendal nerve they enter the S2-4 nerve roots to terminate on spinal neurons and interneurons. The dorsal nerve is not purely somatic, however. Nerve bundles within the dorsal nerve contain nitric oxide (NO) synthase, found typically in autonomic nerves, and stimulation of the sympathetic chain can leak to evoked potentials from the dorsal nerve and vice versa (10-12).
One of the first steps is to distinguish between physiological and psychological ED. Determining whether involuntary erections are present is important in eliminating the possibility of psychogenic causes for ED. Obtaining full erections occasionally, such as nocturnal penile tumescence when asleep (that is, when the mind and psychological issues, if any, are less present), tends to suggest that the physical structures are functionally working. Similarly, performance with manual stimulation, as well as any performance anxiety or acute situational ED, may indicate a psychogenic component to ED.
Take an ED drug. Such drugs can help men maintain erections for several hours at a time. They work by enhancing the effect of nitric oxide, which the body produces naturally to relax and increase blood flow to the penis. If you're interested in taking a drug specifically geared toward treating ED, talk with your doctor about getting a prescription.
Common medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure are associated with an increased risk of developing erectile dysfunction. Thus, optimal management of these diseases may help prevent the development or progression of erectile dysfunction. Lifestyle modifications to improve vascular function, including smoking cessation, losing weight if overweight, and exercising regularly, may be helpful.
These are not currently approved by the FDA for ED management, but they may be offered through research studies (clinical trials). Patients who are interested should discuss the risks and benefits (informed consent) of each, as well as costs before starting any clinical trials. Most therapies not approved by the FDA are not covered by government or private insurance benefits.
Can erectile dysfunction be reversed? Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a very common issue, and it can usually be reversed with lifestyle changes, counseling, medications, or surgery. While short-term treatments are available, addressing the underlying cause will usually resolve the condition. Learn about causes and effective methods of reversing ED here. Read now
This is similar to magnetic resonance imaging. Magnetic resonance angiography uses magnetic fields and radio waves to provide detailed images of the blood vessels. Doctors may inject a "contrast agent" into the person's bloodstream that causes vascular tissues to stand out against other tissues. The contrast agent provides for enhanced information regarding blood supply and vascular anomalies.
Impotence is the inability to get and keep an erection hard enough to have sex. Many men experience difficulties getting an erection when they are tired or stressed. This is normal and it doesn’t require treatment. However, if you encounter problems that persist, you may be suffering with a degree of impotence. Impotence is a very treatable condition and help is available either when you visit your local GP or an online doctor.
The next new treatments for erectile dysfunction will probably be improvements in some ED drugs already being used. "A dissolvable form of Levitra that you put under your tongue is coming that may work more quickly than the pills we have now," says Feloney. A new form of alprostadil may make it possible for you to rub it directly on the penis instead of inserting or injecting it. And newer phosphodiesterase inhibitors that last even longer and cause fewer side effects are being developed. Stay tuned!
Oral PDE5i remains the first line treatment for NED from SCI. Three of the four PDE5i currently available in the U.S., avanafil excluded, have been investigated in the SCI, and all of the more recent studies have shown improvements in erectile function based on IIEF score compared to placebo when included (59-63). Other studies have also shown significant improvements in the IIEF score when compared to baseline (64-69). Furthermore, treatment efficacy when compared to placebo occurs despite LOI or American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) score characterizing impairment related to the injury (59,61).
All devices that are currently approved by the FDA are considered safe for use in magnetic resonance imaging environments. However, 2 previously approved devices–the OmniPhase and the DuraPhase penile prostheses–are not considered safe in this environment. Other surgical procedures–including venous ligation to limit penile venous outflow and penile revascularization procedures–are rarely successful and are not recommended.19 These surgeries are only indicated when a patient demonstrates recent-onset ED and an occlusive lesion seen on angiogram or magnetic resonance angiography and should be performed only in centers of excellence for ED.
This is another useful and interesting tip on how to treat impotence naturally at home that I would like to introduce in this entire article and want you and my other readers remember to learn and make use! Pelvic floor exercises can also help to refresh and boost the erectile function of gentlemen's who are suffering from impotence. Pelvic floor exercises, according to a BJU International research conducted in 2005, can bring about a long-term treatment for impotence. They can help to enhance the muscle development located at the penile muscle's base.
According to a review of all randomized controlled trials evaluating sildenafil by the American Urological Association (AUA) Consensus Panel on Erectile Dysfunction, 36% to 76% of patients receiving the drug were "able to achieve intercourse" during treatment. For tadalafil, four randomized controlled trials revealed that 11% to 47% of patients were "able to achieve intercourse." Similar efficacy has been observed with vardenafil, although studies are fewer.19 A meta-analysis published in 2013 clearly demonstrated increased efficacy over placebo for all PDE5 inhibitors.24 Head-to-head comparison suggested that tadalafil outperforms sildenafil on validated measures of erectile dysfunction, including the international index of erectile function and sexual encounter profile-2 and -3.
The neurovascular events that ultimately occur result in the inhibition of adrenergic tone and the release of the nonadrenergic, noncholinergic neurotransmitter, nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is believed to be released from nonadrenergic, noncholinergic nerves and endothelial cells. It subsequently stimulates the guanylate cyclase enzyme system in penile smooth muscle. This results in increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and ultimately in smooth muscle relaxation, enhancement of arterial inflow, and veno-occlusion, producing adequate firmness for sexual activity.
What happens is that the blood vessels of the penis are rather small, and a small amount of plaque in the penile arteries is going to result in erectile dysfunction. You need more plaque before the person’s actually symptomatic from a heart problem, but they’re linked. And so when anybody, any man has an erectile issue, it’s incumbent upon the physician to make certain that their cardiac status is healthy.
In 1983, Brindley injected the corpora of several SCI men with phentolamine (85). Two out of the three men had a sufficient erection produced. Since then multiple reports on the efficacy of intracavernosal therapy have been published using, phentolamine, papaverine, prostaglandin, vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP), and these medications in combination (86-90). These medications have been found to be extremely effective for neurogenic ED due to their ability act locally and essentially bypassing neuronal pathways. Local therapies are usually considered second-line after PDE5i fail to elicit a desired response which can occur in about 25–30% of men with ED, in general (91). Furthermore, the locally delivered medications can be quite dangerous if not used appropriately as priapism and significant pain with injections can occur. These specific occurrences have been suggested as a reason for high discontinuation rates with intracavernosal therapy (92).
SD in MS can be classified into three categories. Primary SD is due directly due to MS-related neurological deficits, secondary SD is related to physical impairments and symptoms or drugs used for MS treatment, and tertiary SD is due to the psychological, social and cultural problems attributed to MS (38). These classifications are important, and underscore the importance of addressing all the issues leading to SD not just the neurologic impairment.
The Latin term impotentia coeundi describes simple inability to insert the penis into the vagina; it is now mostly replaced by more precise terms, such as erectile dysfunction (ED). The study of ED within medicine is covered by andrology, a sub-field within urology. Research indicates that ED is common, and it is suggested that approximately 40% of males experience symptoms compatible with ED, at least occasionally. The condition is also on occasion called phallic impotence. Its antonym, or opposite condition, is priapism.
Six herbs for treating erectile dysfunction Erectile dysfunction can be an embarrassing condition that can leave men unable to achieve an erection or a full orgasm. This MNT Knowledge Center article talks about six different herbal supplements that could help people with erectile dysfunction, including ginkgo biloba, horny goat weed, and red ginseng. Read now

Vacuum devices for ED, also called pumps, offer an alternative to medication. The penis is placed inside a cylinder. A pump draws air out of the cylinder, creating a partial vacuum around the penis. This causes it to fill with blood, leading to an erection. An elastic band worn around the base of the penis maintains the erection during intercourse.

Cannabis advocates and researchers have slammed a decision to delay the findings of a major two-year report into marijuana by the World Health Organization as “farcical” and “politically motivated”, kicking hopes of widespread decriminalisation into the long grass.
The WHO held a closed door meeting in November, and was due to report back to the United Nations on Friday, but a spokesman addressed the crowd and said the report would remain confidential and not be released until further research had been carried out, giving no set date of any further update.
Despite rescheduling some synthetic cannabinoids and the opioid painkiller Tramadol, the WHO said it needed more time to complete the evaluation process of its review of cannabis.
“In a word: farce,” said Peter Reynolds, president of CLEAR, the UK’s longest running drug policy reform group. “It’s ridiculous because cannabis is one of the most researched substances out there. All the evidence is there for them to make a decision, and to reschedule it into a much lower schedule or descheduled entirely. It must be political.”
Reynolds told Cannabis Law Report he would not be surprised to hear the conspiracy factory rumour mill go into overdrive as a result of the decision, as the decision makes “absolutely no sense”.
Earlier this year, the WHO Expert Committee on Drug Dependence (ECDD) published its initial research which contained several positive, evidentiary findings.
The drug has never proved fatal, researchers said, and it is proven to help treat pain, and ease symptoms in terminal and other life-threatening illnesses, cancer remission, and Multiple Sclerosis.
The findings formed the basis of a wider critical review, which is the last step before a potential rescheduling of any narcotic, and campaigners riding a wave of optimism expected the WHO to come out in favour of reclassifying cannabis.
However, it will remain a Schedule 1 narcotic, alongside cocaine, heroin, and LSD. The committee said it needed more time “for clearance reasons,” according to the International Drug Policy Consortium, with rumours swirling at the venue the decision would be on ice until January at the earliest.
Cannabis has not been on the agenda at the WHO since 1954, when it initially triggered worldwide prohibition under the UN drug control Treaty framework.
Campaigners said in 60 years of the UN discussing drug policies it was the very first time that data, requested by the UN and countries, was left out of the special hearing, and almost three years after the review was first announced, it was “difficult to understand” further delays.
NGOs, cannabis policy reform advocates, industry representatives, patients, doctors and scientists travelled from every corner of the globe to witness the historical UN session, but were left visibly shaken by the outcome.
Representatives from think tank For Alternative Approaches to Addiction, Think & do (FAAAT) gave evidence to the panel at the WHO meeting, and were in attendance at the UN meeting in Vienna to hear the decision.
“We are terribly disappointed that yet again the World Health Organization has decided not to obey their own rules and guidelines”, said Kenzi Riboulet-Zemouli, head of research at FAAAT.
Michael Krawitz, senior advisor to FAAAT added the decision to withhold the results “appears to be politically motivated”.
“The WHO has been answering many questions about cannabis legalization, which is not within their mandate, I hope the WHO shows courage and stands behind their work on cannabis, findings we expect to be positive based upon recent WHO statements and their other actions today,” Krawitz said.
The decision to reclassify opioids was particularly galling for some campaigners, and Reynolds said, in the wake of the UK’s decision to allow specialist doctors to prescribe medicinal cannabis to sufferers from November 1.
“I’ve been working with medicinal cannabis since 1983 and there is no drug mentioned more to me which causes the most horrendous side effects than Tramadol,” he said. “It motivates people to look for alternatives such as cannabis for one.”
CLEAR has reported feedback from sufferers of disease that pain consultants remain unconvinced of the benefits of medicinal cannabis and remain reluctant to prescribe it.
“For anyone as well educated as doctors have to be, to have a view in comparing cannabis to the addictiveness levels in opioids is staggering, the ignorance is horrifying, frankly.”
He said the CLEAR would redouble its efforts in 2019 towards educating the UK’s medical profession.
“Doctors have been subject to the same propaganda as the rest of the public, predicated on this myth cannabis is highly dangerous and toxic,” he said. “It’s depressing there is so much ignorance and prejudice there is amongst the medical profession.”

A leading cause of death in pediatric patients is accidental tracheostomy dislodgement (decannulation) which occurs when a tracheostomy tie is too loose or when a patient coughs, pulls, or tugs on it. When the tracheostomy tube dislodges, the stoma may close and lead to asphyxiation of the patient. If the dislodgement is noticed before the stoma fully closes, the caregiver may be able to insert a smaller size tracheostomy tube to keep the airway open and then seek emergency care to replace the smaller tracheostomy tube with the original size.
Since most pediatric patients with tracheostomy tubes are non-verbal, they are unable to alert the caregiver when a decannulation happens, especially if they are not in the same room. Given this unmet need, a tracheostomy decannulation detection device is needed to alert caregivers when a decannulation event is occurring. With an adequate response time by the caregiver, such a device will allow the caregiver to reinsert the tracheostomy tube before the stoma closes, decreasing the chance of death by asphyxiation.
FastTraCS worked with the ENT physician to determine the key features of the device. The following are design features identified prior to, or during intake design meetings:
FastTraCS designed and prototyped two separate sensor mechanisms to detect decannulation: a contact switch approach and a light-detection approach.
The contact switch approach integrates a "pogo-pin" into the tracheostomy flange and remains in contact with the tracheostomy dressing, sending out an alert when contact is broken (decannulation, dislodgement). The spring pin can accommodate varying anatomy and small movements, such as breathing and coughing, without breaking contact and sending out a false positive signal. Multiple configurations for the pins and detection circuitry were generated that can be used to provide redundancy.
By contrast, the light-detection method can take two embodiments: one that uses an active light source (such as an LED) and another that makes use of ambient light. In either embodiment, a light-detection sensor is used to monitor for the presence or absence of light. If the amount of light hitting the sensor climbs above a threshold indicating partial or complete dislodgement, the circuitry will notify the user(s). The approach using an active light source provides a more robust detection method as filters and wavelength selection can be used to reduce the probability of false positives or false negatives. Active light source provides the additional safeguard for low-light conditions (e.g. night time, dark room, or clothing blocking ambient light).
Both techniques demonstrated the ability to detect partial and complete tracheostomy dislodgement.

Different preparations should be put in place to successfully manage a crisis during the implementation stage. The emergency response plan is one of the plans that apply to my organization; there is a need to design a strategy to protect property, people, and the environment (Emergency Response Plan, 2017). In this situation, the plans should include sheltering in place, lockdown, and evacuation, as well as contingency plans for other types of threats identified during risk assessment. Another type of plan in the organization is the crisis communication plan; essentially, a plan has to be set up to communicate with the customers, workers, stakeholders, and news media. Business has to be in a position to accurately, confidently, and promptly respond to a crisis within the hours or days that follow (Hale, Dulek & Hale, 2015). A large number audience has to be reached with information that is specific to their needs and interest (Crisis Communications Plan, 2017). The business’s image can either be negatively or positively impacted by the public perceptions of dealing with the incident.
The next plan is the business continuity plan, and in this case, this involves developing a plan that encompasses the recovery strategies intended to overcome the business disruption. Fundamentally, this plan comprises four steps, and the firsts step is to perform a business impact analysis with the aim of identifying critical or time-sensitive business processes and functions and the required resources to support them (Whitworth, 2016). The second step in to identify, record, and implement to improve business processes and functions. The third step is to form and business continuity team to manage any business disruption. The final step is to train the members of the business continuity team and to evaluate the recovery strategies, as well as the plan (Business Continuity Plan, 2017).
The other one is the IT Plan; which is a plan intended to help in recovering computer hardware, electronic data, and connectivity to support the critical business functions and processes. Businesses create and manage huge volumes of electronic data or information, and much of it is important (IT Disaster Recovery Plan, 2017). The impact of losing the data could be great, and thus, it is essential to put a plan in place for data backup and to restore the electronic information.
One of the programs employed in my organization during the implementation stage of crisis management is the preparedness program. The steps involved in the development of this program include planning, managing, implementing, testing, and improving the program. On this line, there are opportunities for improving the program after the occurrence of an incident. There is a need to perform a critique to evaluate the response to such incident. Consequently, the lessons learned can help in identifying the needs for making changes in the preparedness program. Moreover, the instructional guidance and best practices published by the professional societies, government websites, trade, and trade associations can be helpful resources in evaluating and improving an organization’s preparedness program. The deficiencies and gaps identified in the course of the review ought to be documented and addressed via a corrective action plan. In this case, the corrective action program ought to document the information concerning the deficiencies. Precisely, in this plan, there is a need to include a complete account of such deficiency; the action, which has to be taken; the required resources to handle the deficiency; and a rationalization for the need to have the deficiency corrected (Program Improvement, 2017). Markedly, the action regarding the deficiencies ought to be assigned to the department or person who is best suited to handle the issue. Furthermore, a due date has to be assigned, and there is a need to review the corrective action database on a regular basis with the intention to track progress (Corrective Action, 2017). Finally, there is a need to update the status column up to the time the deficiency has been effectively addressed.
There is a need to identify and assess the required resources for responding to risks, on-going business operations, and communicating in the course of and following an incident. Apparently, there several resources needed in my organization for the preparedness programs and these include facilities, people, warning and communications technologies, life safety and protection systems, equipment, pollution control systems, funding, supplies and materials, information regarding hazards, and special expertise.
A business should conduct a needs assessment to determine the required resources. The resources might come from within the organization such as trained workers, protection and safety systems, and communication facilities and equipment leased or owned by the business. Moreover, over resources that come from outside sources encompass business partners, public emergency services, contractors, and vendors. In this regard, the capability and availability of these resources have to be determined. Considerations of logistics are an imperative component of the preparedness program to make sure that the resources will become available where and when needed.

www.bootifulturkey.com - Hickory Farms Turkey. Purists beware.You might well not enjoy what it is you're about to learn as it comes to the conventional Thanksgiving Turkey. While toaster roasting a turkey gets it cooked, grilling that chicken results in a fish that's cooked using immense flavor.

Propaganda Prints reviews the history, the cultural diversity and the legacy of art produced in the service of social and political change from ancient times to the present day.
The images speak of state control, opposition, revolution, advertising, politics and self-promotion. They evoke some of the dreams and concerns which have driven humanity through the last five thousand years. The Ancient Mesopotamians are there with the Romans, the Crusaders, the Normans, the Victorians, the Suffragettes, the Nazis and the Hippies. The American, French, Russian, Mexican, Chinese and Cuban revolutions all contribute, as do far too many wars. From Gutenberg's printing press to You Tube, from Alexander to Obama, this review of propaganda art reflects the best and the worst of us, and offers the pictures by way of consolation.

I was born in De Witt, IA. My parents are big music fans and musicians, themselves. I’ve been listening to music as long as I can remember. Dad is also a collector, as I am. We love vinyl! It’s THE best way to really enjoy listening to music. We both have lots of records. I also collect CDs, reels, cassettes, 78s, etc. If it has music on it, I want it!
I became interested in music as a kid. Listened to Spike At the Mike on, what was then, KIIK 104 FM, in Davenport. He went on to greatness and became a broadcasting legend at the big WGN in Chicago. When I found him on Facebook, I “friended” him and told him that he was my inspiration to become a broadcaster. He then, politely, apologized for doing so.
I worked my first gigs in the Quad Cities. Top 40 morning show, overnights and weekends at a rock station, briefly on an Adult CHR, then to a Classic Hits format. I got out of radio in 1996 after my first child, a daughter, was born.
While being in retail management for about 10 years, I was still listening to radio. Iowa, Arizona, Minnesota stations. I always heard myself saying, “I can still do that! I’m better than that guy!” Well, whether I was or not, I still loved radio for what it was. The history, the sound, the music – everything.
After having 3 kids ( 1 girl and 2 boys), and then starting another relationship, I married my best friend. We dated 11 years earlier and lost touch for ten years. Fate played it’s hand and we had another child, a boy.
I decided to try getting back into radio broadcasting in 2008, while living in Marion. I sent in my info and air-checks and was offered a position here, on 105-7 KOKZ! I’ve been here ever since doing any and all shifts and loving every minute of it! My life is pretty great now! Great wife, kids and career!
Thanks for listening along! I appreciate it!!
In 1984, in a fit of “artistic pique”, Tom Petty punched a wall hard enough that a four-hour operation had to piece his hand back together. This is equal to me smashing my mouth into a brick wall, because I stuttered on air. Good thing I don’t ever stutter, huh! 😉 Tom Petty Broke His…read more »

Are all seeds in an apple genetically identical?
Fleeting. The art of grafting fruit trees has allowed growers and breeders to have a say in how long of an appearance a particular apple variety makes on this planet, but the principle remains the same: inside each apple seed of every single apple that has ever existed, lies the potential for uniqueness.
Why are apple seeds genetically different?
Most apple seeds are formed when pollen from one apple cultivar pollinates the flower of another cultivar. This results in the combination of two different genetic parents and results in an offspring (seed) that has a different genetic code.
Is it possible to buy apple seeds?
Big Pack – (500) Red Delicious Apple – Malus pumila Tree Seeds – Very Cold Hardy in Zones 3-8 by MySeeds.Co (Big Pack – Paradise Apple)
Why are apples not true seed?
Apples do not come true from seed. Actually about 1 in every 80,000 apple trees grown from seed is quality factors good enough to even be considered for evaluation. Most of the time you end up with a tree with small or inferior fruit and its nothing at all like the parent.
Why do apples not grow true to seed?
The main reason apples aren’t grown from seed is that they don’t “come true to seed.” Just like humans, the offspring may have some resemblance to their parents, but with their own flavor and habits.
Are apple seeds genetically modified?
New apple varieties emerge when genetic changes are allowed to occur. Traditionally, new apples are produced by cross-breeding existing apple varieties. This reshuffles the genetic makeup of seeds, which are then planted to see if they grow into trees that produce delicious new apples.
Why are apple trees not true to seed?
Apple trees don’t grow “true-to-type,” as WSU tree fruit breeder Kate Evans explains. That means that if you were to plant, for instance, Red Delicious seeds in your backyard, you wouldn’t get Red Delicious apples. Instead, planting and breeding means matching a scion to a rootstock.
Why are fruit trees not true to seed?
Most trees, especially wild trees or non-domesticated trees, are not true to seed because of the high genetic diversity in them and that most trees must be cross-pollinated to bear fruit.
How long does it take for an apple tree to produce fruit from a seed?
between 7 to 10 years
Also, it takes a long time to grow an apple tree from seed— it takes between 7 to 10 years before you will be able to tell if your tree will have good fruit.
How do you know if an apple is GMO?
For example, if the PLU number is 4130 for a standard grown apple, (all accepted fertilizers and fungicides used conventionally) If it was organically grown, it would read 94130. If the fruit is genetically altered (or GE or GMO) it will have an “8” prefaced to the four digit code. As in 84130.
Which apple trees grow true from seed?
Sometimes called ‘The People’s Apple’; the trees grow true from seed and produce a low sugar, late fruiting apple that is great for pies and cider! This is a great rootstock apple tree with fruit that is ideal for cooking.
Do Antonovka apples grow true to type?
Sometimes called ‘The People’s Apple’; the trees grow true from seed and produce a low sugar, late fruiting apple that is great for pies and cider! This is a great rootstock apple tree with fruit that is ideal for cooking. *Many modern apple varieties do not grow true-to-type from seed, but Antonovka Apples DO!

Recent years have seen tens of thousands of foreign speculators buying houses and driving up prices in various cities of New Zealand causing prices of properties to increase much higher that the salaries of New Zealanders, making the possibility of owning their first home out of reach for more and more New Zealanders.
New Zealand house prices have surged in recent years, driving the average value in biggest city Auckland to more than NZ$1 million (S$932,000) and putting property out of reach for many younger Kiwis. The law change will bring New Zealand into line with other countries including neighbour Australia, where non-residents are also restricted from buying homes unless they are newly built.
Current investors who owns existing properties in New Zealand may receive a lower valuation in their properties as cash rich foreigners will no longer be able to buy these existing properties from early next year and these investor sellers can only sell to the locals in New Zealand.
In particular are speculators and property buyers from mainland China who poured in more than NZ$10 billion over the last few years to snap up vast plots of land, houses and buildings. In fact, other than New Zealand, Chinese money has pushed up home prices around the world, stoking concern among locals in cities from Vancouver to Sydney.
New Zealand is considered as one of the favoured country for the rich to buy an oasis to retreat to annually. The New Zealand government believes this policy will solve a political problem and put a cap on rising home prices in New Zealand.
The new government, being less than a month old plans to introduce the foreigner property legislation before Christmas and pass the law early next year, before the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) is ratified. She said it then won't breach any trade agreements expect the Singapore Closer Economic Partnership, which would be worked through with Singapore as the proposed change means New Zealand can move its focus away from land issues at the negotiating table at Apec.
New Zealand still has concerns about Investor State Dispute Settlement clauses in the TPP, as these confer "greater rights on multi-national companies investing in New Zealand than a New Zealand company has" and the government plans to amend the ISDS provisions of TPP and oppose ISDS in any future free trade agreements.
