Nicolás Maduro has won a razor-thin margin in the most disputed presidential elections in decades. His failure to secure a large victory has denied the heir of Venezuela’s transformational socialist revolution and of a defining populist movement in Latin America of the solid mandate that is required to implement urgent reforms to render the country economically and politically stable.
Most attention has been placed on serious accusations of election fraud by the Social-Democratic opposition led by defeated candidate Henrique Capriles and the subsequent street violence, and on US and European reluctance to recognize the new election results. However, the fact of the matter is that Maduro was sworn in Friday as president of Venezuela until 2019 with international legitimacy to spare.
Maduro is the handpicked heir of Hugo Chávez, who imposed a broad revolution but died of cancer before completing an embryonic correction phase that Maduro in fact was already spearheading. Capriles lost by as few as 270,000 votes—less than 2%—a stunning result considering Maduro had the advantage of a sympathy vote from the dramatic death of Chávez a little over a month ago, and of massive state expenditure ahead of the elections.
The electoral authorities have not only ratified the vote, but insisted that an audit currently under way and that will take about a month to complete will not change the results. The fact that Maduro has sworn in a new cabinet, and that most Latin America governments, including all the important ones, have recognized the new government. China, Russia, and dozens more have recognized Maduro’s leadership as well—not to mention the overarching government control over most of Venezuela’s institutions. This makes any reversal very unlikely.
THE MARKETS validate that forecast. Even after rating agency Standard & Poor’s changed its outlook on Venezuela’s debt to negative from stable on Friday, citing the election results and political instability, bond rates and yields inched up this week and the cost of insuring debt fell.
Maduro’s biggest challenges stem not from the fraud claims, but from the extremely polarized country and testy political instability that he will have to manage, precisely when Venezuela needs to implement serious reforms to fix its unsustainable economic model.
There is no evidence of mass fraud—that much is clear—but it is undeniable that Venezuela is split two ways, between Chavistas and anti-Chavistas. The government and the Chavista block are also internally fragile, as pragmatists and the more radical left battle for control. Whatever the case, Maduro will face strong headwind from all sides.
That said, Venezuela has no other option but to implement urgent reforms. Maduro has already made that clear. He will lead “a revolution within the revolution,” he said in his inauguration speech Friday. This week, after swearing in his new cabinet, he said, “We are starting a new cycle of the Venezuelan revolution…. A government of the streets.”
Indeed, this is called a counterrevolution, and revolutions tend to have them eventually. China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, and countless others had them. What is uncertain is how they turn out. Revolutions can consolidate and correct themselves, or they can implode from within.
IN VENEZUELA, it was Chávez who began that corrective counter-revolution. Maduro picked up in 2012 as Chávez was treated for cancer in Cuba. The unexpected election results this month loosened his grip on power.
The question now is whether Maduro can quickly garner the political and popular support to consolidate his government.
Most people are not optimistic. They expect Maduro to implement more of the same failed policies, demagoguery, and corrupted horse-trading and instability—but they underestimate the resilience of populism when it comes to reinventing and correcting itself.
Maduro knows the only hope for the survival of Chavismo is to pump more oil to offset falling crude prices, while cutting public spending and putting the country’s finances in order. He must do this without triggering popular backlash. Oil revenue is falling even as resources are squandered in mismanagement, corruption and inefficiency.
Reforms have already begun. In January, Venezuela devalued its currency 32%, a long-expected move that was an inevitable step in balancing rising government spending, but which will also hike inflation and dampen economic growth while only postponing more manipulative currency measures. “We have to learn to do a lot with a little, more with less,” Maduro said the day his provisionally-led government announced the devaluation.
He reinforced his reform-minded signals when naming his new cabinet. Most belong to the previous government, no doubt to secure Chavismo unity, but he introduced some pragmatism when he named Nelson Merentes, a pragmatic central bank governor, as his new finance minister.
“Mr. Merentes’s appointment suggests that there will probably be more flexibility in terms of foreign exchange policy, and potentially in other areas, though political constraints will likely continue to limit the degree to which Mr. Maduro can be more moderate in economic policy,” political risk consultancy Eurasia Group said.
MERENTES IS MARKET-FRIENDLY while remaining Chavista to his core, which is ultimately the kind of left-to-center transition that Venezuela needs to attract foreign investment while easing the societal polarization that threatens instability. Markets are anticipating a relaxation of currency restrictions.
The priority, though, is the oil sector, which has been the bread and butter of Venezuela for decades. Oil analysts, starting with the International Energy Agency, OPEC and the Energy Information Administration, calculate Venezuela is already running up a deficit, with estimates of its breakeven price requirements to finance public spending ranging between USD 100 and USD 120 a barrel.
Venezuela has failed to reverse falling production from depleted wells and to efficiently develop its huge resources in the Orinoco Belt, the single largest oil treasure in the world. The technology and knowhow are there, but Venezuela has diverted much-needed resources that state-owned oil and gas company PDVSA needs to finance his populist programs—not to mention politicized what was once one of the world’s biggest and most influential oil companies.
Production remains stuck at below 3 million barrels per day, despite ambitions plans and raucous contract signings with foreign companies that aim to double production by the end of the decade. There are more than enough international partners willing to pour their billions into Venezuela to extract that oil, yet most projects remain in the planning phase. The reason: PDVSA, which by law owns 60% of all oil ventures, does not have the means to put up its share of the money.
“We need to overturn the culture in which historically, because of oil, we’ve done little with a lot,” Maduro earlier this year when he still had Chávez to support him. Now, alone and with only legacy to hang on to, he will have to prove to international markets, investors and governments—as well as to all Venezuelans—that he will be able to deliver stability.

The OCULUS Pentacam is a corneal topographer that images both the front (anterior) and back (posterior) surface of the cornea to assist in the diagnosis of various corneal conditions. The data collected from the topographer is also used to monitor the progression of these conditions by comparing to previous scans performed. This instrument is not only important in corneal management but it can also be utilized in our specialty contact lens fittings which help improves the vision for patients with some of the previously listed corneal conditions.
A corneo-scleral profiling device allows an accurate collection of data from both the cornea and sclera for patients. This instrument it often utilized to aid in getting a more precise fit with specialty contact lenses. If there irregular bumps on the white part of the eye (sclera), then the image considers those areas when making a patient’s custom specialty lens.

Background. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent complication after cardiac surgery and can cause considerable morbidity. Low-energy cardioversion (LEC) using biatrial epicardial wires implanted during surgery has been shown to be effective and safe in conscious patients, but has not been directly compared with medical treatment so far. We therefore prospectively studied the efficacy of LEC in men 60 years of age and older. Methods. Sixteen patients (mean ± SD, 66.4 ± 5.4 years) were randomized to LEC and 32 patients (66.3 ± 5.0 years) to standarized medical treatment in the event of postoperative AF. Age, comorbidity, and surgical variables did not differ significantly between the groups. Results. After cardiac surgery, AF occurred in 6 patients (38%) assigned to LEC and in 11 patients assigned to medical treatment (34%; p = NS). Low-energy cardioversion restored sinus rhythm in all but 1 patient, and 1 patient in the LEC group had early recurrence of AF. All other patients in the LEC group had prompt and stable restoration of sinus rhythm. Medical treatment was associated with the restoration of sinus rhythm in all patients. Although the total time in AF was decreased significantly by LEC (median 5 minutes versus 22 hours; p = 0.037), the length of postoperative hospitalization was not (5.1 ± 1.4 days for the LEC group compared with 5.3 ± 1.6 days for controls). Conclusions. Low-energy cardioversion significantly decreased the amount of time cardiac surgery patients spent in AF after the operation. Larger studies are needed to determine whether this new treatment modality has the ability to decrease morbidity associated with postoperative AF and is cost-effective. © 2003 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.

A new bombshell report from Politico found that House Speaker John Boehner had several days of secret negotiations with Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, the recently emboldened former Speaker, leading up to his decision to flip-flop and fund President Obama’s executive amnesty—including a pre-hashed out deal to use the hoopla around Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Tuesday address to Congress over Iran’s nuclear ambitions as political cover to sneak in the extraordinarily controversial vote. Even with the bombshell report, however, Boehner's office continues to deny any deal took place.

Lou Silver Harrison was an American composer. He was a student of Henry Cowell, Arnold Schoenberg, and KPH Notoprojo (formerly called KRT Wasitodiningrat, informally called Pak Cokro). William (Bill) Colvig was an electrician and amateur musician who was the partner for 33 years of Harrison, whom he met in San Francisco, California in 1967. Colvig helped construct the so-called "American gamelan“, a full Javanese-style gamelan, modeled on the instrumentation of Kyai Udan Mas at U.C. Berkeley. Harrison lived for many years with Colvig in Aptos, California. They purchased land in Joshua Tree, California, where they designed and built the Harrison House Retreat, a straw bale house. Harrison died in Lafayette, Indiana, from a heart attack while on his way to a festival of his music at The Ohio State University. Harrison is particularly noted for incorporating elements of the music of non-Western cultures into his work, with a number of pieces written for Javanese style gamelan instruments, including ensembles constructed and tuned by Harrison and his partner William Colvig.

Harrison House is the straw bale "composer’s cave" that Lou Harrison completed in 2002 on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park. Of his chosen construction method Lou Harrison noted, "America grows enough straw in one year to satisfy all of its building needs." The design, inspired by the great Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy, is a unique structure featuring a vaulted hall that measures 36' X 12' with a sixteen foot ceiling-- proportions chosen by Harrison to create a superb and intimate sound environment for acoustic music. Harrison had one year to visit and enjoy his studio retreat where he worked on his final musical composition "Scenes from Nek Chand" for custom-made steel guitar. This structure is a special integration of design, form, materials, light, acoustics and history. The experience of being inside has been likened to a chapel, mosque or temple. It is a special gem of approximately 1,000 square feet. The vaulted main room is flanked on both sides by three equal-sized spaces. To the north are three outdoor patios separated by rounded buttresses. To the south is a "monkish" bedroom, a bathroom with all fixtures built into the corners, and a fully equipped kitchen in which Harrison’s long-time friend, and renowned artist/choreographer, Remy Charlip painted the cabinetry. Artists who have been in residence have continued to adorn the house with their work. Harrison chose Joshua Tree as the location for his retreat because the dry desert air agreed with him, the stark beauty and desert ecology attracted him and he delighted in taking his friends on tours of the area. A rich cultural history, surreal geological features and a fascinating variety of plants and animals describes the area in and around Joshua Tree National Park. The arts also hold a place in its history, including prehistoric petroglyphs and historic murals painted on buildings throughout the nearby town of Twentynine Palms. Artists have been visiting the Joshua Tree desert for decades to nourish their creativity and this burgeoning arts community continues to flourish.

However, this plan may exclude essential nutrients, and it might not be a sustainable long-term weight-loss strategy. Although the idea of substantial weight loss within a short period may seem attractive, the GM diet does come with risks. People can eat the same foods as days 1 and 2, avoiding bananas and potatoes. The GM diet plan has several associated benefits and risks. It recommends that you drink 8–12 glasses of water each day to stay hydrated throughout the diet. Below, we explain the basic outline of the GM diet and provide possible meal plans: People can eat a range of fruits, especially melons and citrus fruits, but should avoid bananas. The plan recommends 2–3 glasses of water with each meal. People in the United States generally eat and drink more sugar than is healthful.

Building on the success of the annual triathlon, Hale Reservation is introducing a 5K race series, which kicks off on April 30, 2011. Thanks to sponsorships from the Bostonian Group, Needham Bank, Roche Bros, Dedham Institute for Savings and Dunkin Donuts, 100 per cent of every registration fee goes to supporting children attending Hale Reservation. In addition, Hale has partnered with The Rodman Ride for Kids in a joint fundraising initiative. The result is an additional 10 per cent from the Ride for Kids. A runner’s $20 registration fee means $21 for children at Hale Reservation.
Eight years ago, Hale Reservation began planning for its first triathlon. The result is a unique, annual event that attracts hundreds of participants and has succeeded in raising over $100,000 for Hale’s campers’ programs. Expanding on that, Hale Reservation is instituting a 5K race series.
“It was really a collaborative idea. We have enjoyed the success of the triathlon and we believe that outdoor fitness is very important for people. Creating the series will hopefully encourage more people to get out and explore the woods, enjoy fresh air and stay healthy,” said Eric Arnold, Hale’s executive director.
Arnold runs the trails two or three times per week at Hale and knows them well. He offers this advice for those interested in trail running. “It takes much more concentration. You have to be very aware of your footing. I find it to be much better for my knees and back. I enjoy the variety of pace, changing stride, and softer landing on the ground instead of pavement. Ultimately it is better for the body.”
The course has been set for the first 5K and subsequent races (June 25, July 27, August 28, and October 23) will feature different routes. With twenty miles of trails at Hale, each race in the series will offer different challenges for runners. The Hale Triathlon is scheduled for September 11, 2011.
To sign up for one or all the races in the series, visit www.HaleReservation.org.

The amount of decorating time put into each cake is the main element impacting the price of it. A smaller cake will not necessarily be less expensive than a larger one if the same number of decorating hours is required to create both cakes, which is why we seldom make cakes smaller than 15 servings.
Another factor to consider for a sculpted cake is that the number of servings is used only as a reference for what the minimum amount of cake you require. However, the shape and design will actually determine how much cake we need to work with to achieve your desired result. This is why we charge per project rather than per serving.
We don’t have a set price list for our cakes, but here is our starting prices:
Single-tiered cakes from $200
Two-tiered cakes from $350
Three-tiered cakes from $550
Four-tiered cakes from $750
Sculpted (3D) cakes start at $300; car-shaped cakes start at $400
Miniature wedding cakes (see photo 11 of our wedding cakes gallery) from $16 with a minimum order of 48 units
Hand-modelled Sugar Figurines
Bride & Groom from $200/pair
Adults and characters from $75
Children from $60
Animals from $50
Once we have discussed all the details of your design, we will provide you with a proper quote. Considering the starting prices, you can also determine your maximum budget and we will explore other cake design options within that budget.

I painted my home and also the office location of BBDS Design on this old painting. Many times, we are so busy working in the office that we even forget how beautiful our surroundings are. I feel very lucky to have these trees and plants accompanying us; they are so green and grow wildly in the summer. I will never get tired of looking at them. Now, this painting hangs in my office.

Identifying Self-Conscious People and Dealing With Them
Self- consciousness is being conscious about oneself. If I hesitate to look into the mirror or go in front of someone or avoid being in their presence because of the thought that I am not as rich as him, it is self-consciousness. Fear of negative judgement of others is what makes me feel self- conscious. It is the inability to understand that others are none to define us and it does more harm than good.
Such a feeling arises when you have doubts about your own ability or looks. When you are haunted by such thoughts you have to find out a way to come out of that and lead a peaceful life.
Identifying self-conscious people are so simple. If a person is a man and he talks as if there is no end to it or looks at the mirror to comb his hair or constantly works on his belt to tighten it are some of the clues to find out whether a man is self-conscious or not.
If it is a woman she will wear a revealing dress and moves her hands swiftly to catch the attention of others. If she is worried about her tummy, she will place her hand on it. These are all the symptoms that she is self-conscious. As the saying goes Old habits die hard, it is very difficult to get rid of such a feeling at least initially. We have to find a way to vent out all these negative feelings in us.
Dealing With People
But how to deal with or help such people to break out of the shell of poor esteem? Is there an ideal way for it? Yes, just praise the person for wearing a good dress. Rave about his good looks and make him feel in cloud nine.
Radom comments like the dress he is wearing are very nice or it looks good on him would help sometimes. Usually, guys feel insecure about their looks and need some boost from outside. This will have a positive effect on them. It is the people around such people who can lift up the good spirit in them.
Another way to deal with them is to advise them to resist their negative thoughts. Simply ask them not to accept the negative thoughts. But, advise them not to reject them altogether. Help them to understand that he himself is his first pal or best buddy.
Such a thought will bring a big mental makeover in your friend. For example, If your friend feels his nose is unexceptionally big, convince him that his eyes or lips look extremely attractive and he is handsome because of his eyes and lips. This will help to build a lot of self -confidence in him.
?It is a fact that friends can help a lot to overcome the self-consciousness in yourself. It is equally true that you have to make your mind understand that confidence can be built effectively with your own efforts. It can be practiced and improved just like any other skill. The moment you understand this fact and ride herd on your mind, you will be able to get rid of being self-conscious and be successful.

Particularly since the introduction of straight-wall-only states, rifles chambered in 350 Legend and .450 Bushmaster have become increasingly popular for hunting. In response to this trend, Styrka
now offers two affordable scopes to its S3 line, designed specifically for these calibers. These are the S3 3X-9X-40mm Plex
, with a 350 Legend Ballistic Turret, and the same scope with a .450 Bushmaster Ballistic Turret. While both these scopes come with the aforementioned Kenton custom ballistic turret, in either 350 Legend or .450 Bushmaster, they are shipped unattached in the box, as the scopes come with factory elevation dials preinstalled. The consumer then uses the factory dial to zero the rifle, before swapping it out for the custom turret.
The S3 3X-9X-40mm Plex is constructed around a 1-inch, 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum tube, with a fully multi-coated optics group. Waterproof to one meter for 30 minutes, the scope is also nitrogen-purged to prevent internal fogging. Finally, 1/4 MOA windage and elevation adjustments pair with a fast-focus eyepiece for effortless precision.

Pride of Place ceremony celebrates Cork’s community spirit
Friday, November 09, 2018 - 12:00 AM - Pride of Place Awards 2018, Irish Examiner newspaper."
Celebrating community spirit Dubbed the Oscars of the community sector, this year’s Pride of Place ceremony takes place on Leeside for the first time with over 800 entrants vying for glory, writes Helen O’Callaghan
Dubbed the Oscars of the community sector, the all-island Pride of Place Awards will be presented this month. And the awards ceremony takes place for the first time ever in Cork.
Pride of Place acknowledges the work communities are doing on both sides of the border, celebrating those who come together to shape, change and enjoy all that’s good about their community and environment. In particular, it rewards specific initiatives with long-lasting, positive community impacts.
Here we profile four of the Cork entrants among the 800 plus community groups vying to win Pride of Place gongs on November 17 in Cork City Hall.
Cork Street Pastors
“If it was our kids, we’d want them to get home safely,” says David Hoey, a volunteer with Cork Street Pastors, a multi-denominational organisation caring for people socialising on Saturday nights between 10.30pm and 4am.
In the late-night entertainment areas of Cork – as in any city – young revellers emerging onto the streets can suddenly find themselves in vulnerable situations. Cork Street Pastors help – with flip-flops, bottles of water, blankets and brushes and pans to sweep up broken glass.
“In the past six years, we’ve picked up just under 21,000 whole glasses and bottles on Saturday nights – which can then no longer be used as weapons and they’re not there for people to fall and cut themselves on,” says David.
The group has handed out just under 3,000 flip-flops to girls who come tottering out of night clubs and – unable to stay on high heels – try to pick their way barefoot amid broken glass and pools of urine. “Flip-flops help girls walk safely to a taxi and get home.” Cork Street Pastors has 18 volunteers from eight Christian churches – they provide their night-time assistance in teams of three to five.
Pastor is another word for carer. We want to express our faith without being overt about it, just by doing something practical in the community.
The group is also on the streets on special occasion nights: UCC Rag, Freshers, Leaving Cert results night. Each volunteer has a rucksack with thermal blankets (“for someone lying on the street, the alcohol has worn off and their temperature is dropping”), bottles of water for the dehydrated and lollipops, which have been known to defuse a fight if given at the right moment (“it takes 30 seconds to open the wrapper – sometimes just enough to calm things”).
Cork Street Pastors get feedback: “People come back to us, saying ‘thanks for looking after me – I was in a bad way last night.

the skin with silk suture. After the line insertion, the site was
covered by a dry sterile gauze occlusive dressing for 24 h then
changed by a sterile, transparent, semipermeable dressing. No
topical antibiotic ointment or creams on insertion sites were used.
Hand hygiene procedures, either by washing hands with conventional soap and water or with alcohol-based hand rubs (ABHR),
were performed before and after palpating catheter insertion sites as
well as before and after accessing, repairing, or dressing catheters.
The percutaneous entry sites were examined on a daily basis for
presence of local inﬂammation and purulence by the ICU nurse in
charge of the patient and the doctors on their daily round. Catheter
dressings were changed every 48 h, or sooner if the dressing was
contaminated. The administration sets were changed every 48 h in
patients not receiving blood, blood products or fat emulsions.
Tubing used to administer blood, blood products, or fat emulsions
were replaced within 24 h of initiating the infusion.
In handling venous lines and when changing the dressing on
catheters, health care professionals wore clean gloves. All injection
ports of the CVC were cleaned with a pre-packed alcohol wipe
before accessing the system.
Catheters were removed when they were no longer needed or if a
systemic or local complication occurred and when the patient was
transferred from the unit. Otherwise, a scheduled catheter replacement was made every 7 days in accordance with a local unit protocol.
The catheters were removed using a sterile technique by physicians.
For the new catheter, the insertion site was always changed.
Data collected from the medical charts of the patients and from
the treating physicians included gender, age, Acute Physiology and
Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE)II score, reasons for hospitalization, CVC insertion site, insertion and removal dates, total duration of catheterization, cause of CVC removal, CVC maintenance
details (insertion site dressings, change of connecting lines),use of
total parenteral nutrition (TPN), total duration of hospitalization,
site of infection, species identiﬁcation and antimicrobial susceptibility of the pathogen, mechanical ventilation, any antimicrobial
therapy administered up to 30 days prior to recovery of the isolate,
and ﬁnal outcome. In addition, the following comorbid conditions
were documented: heart disease (coronary disease, arrhythmias
and hypertensive cardiopathy), respiratory disease (chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease -COPD, asthma and pneumonia),
solid organ neoplasm, diabetes mellitus, renal insufﬁciency
Exclusion criteria were burn or dermatitis at the insertion site,
or when catheter was used as vascular access for hemodialysis.
2.2. Microbiological procedures
The following specimens for culture were obtained from all
1) The distal 4e5 cm of the tip after CVC removal.
2) Tow blood samples, drawn from the catheter and a peripheral
3) If a blood sample cannot be drawn from a peripheral vein, 2
blood samples were drawn through different catheter lumens.
The deﬁnitions of catheter colonization (CC) and CRBSI published by IDSA were used .
CC was deﬁned as the growth of 15 colony forming units
(CFUs) in cultures of catheter tips prepared by the semiquantitative roll-plate method or 1000 CFU by the quantitative
culture. Criteria for the diagnosis of CRBSI were deﬁned as the
presence of either one of the following situations in a patient with
accompanying clinical signs and symptoms of bloodstream infection without any other apparent source:
1) The isolation of the same organism from the colonized catheter
and at least 1 peripheral blood culture.
2) When the culture of 2 blood samples, one from a catheter hub
and the other from a peripheral vein, meet the CRBSI criterion
for quantitative blood cultures: a colony count of microbes
grown from blood obtained through the catheter hub that is at
least 3-fold greater than the colony count from blood obtained
from a peripheral vein. Differential time to positivity (DTP),
deﬁned by growth of microbes from a blood sample drawn from
a catheter hub at least 2 h before microbial growth in a blood
sample obtained from a peripheral vein, is not being used
routinely in our hospital.
3) When 2 quantitative blood cultures of samples obtained
through 2 catheter lumens in which the colony count for the
blood sample drawn through one lumen is at least 3-fold greater
than the colony count for the blood sample obtained from the
When blood cultures were plated out to measure 3-fold difference in colony counts they are done at the same time in agreement
with the microbiologist.
All microorganisms recovered from the cultures were identiﬁed
by standard microbiological procedures. Antibiotic susceptibility
testing, depending on species identiﬁcation, was performed using the
disk-agar diffusion method according to the European Union Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) . The
antimicrobial agents tested were as follows: Ampicillin, Ticarcillin,
Piperacillin ticarcillineclavulanate (TiceClv), PiperacillineTazobactam(PipeTaz), Cefazolin, Cefotaxime Ceftazidime, Imipenem,Ciproﬂoxacin, Amikacin, Tobramycin, Gentamicin, Colistin, Tigecyclin
and trimethoprimesulfamethoxazole (TMPeSMX). All susceptibility
results were evaluated according to the EUCAST criteria.
2.3. Statistical analysis
Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0 statistical
software. Patients with CRBSI were designated as group A, patients
with CC were designated as group B and patients without CC or
CRBSI were designated as group C. Continuous variables are
expressed as mean standard deviation, while categorical variables
are expressed with absolute and relative frequencies. The normality
assumption of continuous variables was evaluated using the KolmogoroveSmirnov criterion. For the comparison of continuous
variables between the three groups one-way analysis of variance
(ANOVA) was performed. Data were modeled using multiple logistic
regression analysis. Odds ratios and 95% conﬁdence intervals were
computed from the results of logistic regression analysis. Two
multiple logistic regression analyses were performed with dependent variables those deﬁned from groups B/C and A/C, using stepwise backward elimination with a signiﬁcance level for removal of
P ¼ 0.10 in order to ﬁnd the best model ﬁtting our data. All reported P
values are two-tailed. Statistical signiﬁcance was set at P < 0.05.
Among 363 patients admitted in the ICU during the study
period, 282 have required CVC insertion for a duration greater than
48 h. Of the 282 eligible patients, only 260 were included because
data in twenty-two patients were incomplete. The number of CVCs
was 482 and the global duration of days of catheterization was
4670. The ratio of exposure to CVC was 77% and the mean duration
of catheterization was 9.6 6.2 days. CVC insertion sites included
the subclavian (58%), the internal jugular (33%) or the femoral vein
(9%). Overall, 32 (12.3%) patients were classiﬁed as having CRBSI

...to keep you active, healthy and optimisitc during the winter!
Winter offers lots of opportunities to stay active, strong, optimistic and fit. Through alternative cross-training activities, you add spice to your training in addition to your normal running, walking, cycling or swimming activity. Below, in no particular order, are our top 10 ideas.
In many ways, how you handle the final two weeks leading up to your big race is just as important, if not more so, as the months you spent training for it. You will hear the word ‘taper’ thrown around this time of year. Taper refers to the rest period before your hardest effort, whether a triathlon, marathon, half marathon, or other distance race/event. Here are a few suggestions to guide you through this subtle, but vital stage of your race preparation. These simple suggestions will help ensure that race day is a celebratory culmination of the work you put in, and not a disappointing ride on the struggle bus.
The cushioning system on a shoe is designed to absorb the impact of your body's force striking the ground, it does this by compressing under load andrebounding as you take the weight off the shoe. A typical person's foot will strike the ground approximately 1,600 times when walking or running a mile.
Each foot strike requires the cushioning system to compress and rebound and after about 200 miles the cushioning system in most shoes has started to lose its resiliency. As the cushioning system wears, the body begins to absorb more of the impact force, this puts additional wear and tear on the joints, ligaments and tendons. Paying attention to the lifespan of your shoe's cushioning system is important to avoid an overuse injury and keep your body healthy so you can enjoy the lifetime benefits of an active and healthy lifestyle.
There are several variables that could alter how long your shoe will last. For example, running on a soft surface such as a trail or treadmill will be easier on your shoes than running on hard surfaces such as roads or sidewalks. Also if you wear your shoes for exercise only they will last a lot longer. Alternating between two pairs of shoes is another good way to increase the life of the shoe.
Most running shoes will last up to 500 miles. If you know on average what you typically run a week the chart below will help you figure out roughly when it will be time to invest in a new pair. Be sure to check with a member of our experienced staff to see what shoe best fits your unique foot!

Whether you are a first timer or experienced half marathoner, you’ll benefit from fueling your body before and during your half marathon. Practicing your fueling plan during training will help ensure you know what your body needs and what works best to keep your muscles fueled for the duration of the event! We’ll help make sense of the options and provide advice to help you succeed on event day!

The super-rich, whose net worth has risen significantly in the past six years, have become less philanthropic, while retail givers—or individuals who give less than ₹1.5 lakh per year per head—have grown in number and contributions.
The philanthropic contribution by ultra-high net worth individuals (UHNIs or people with a net worth of more than ₹1,000 crore) has reduced by about 40% over the last six years, says the India Philanthropy Report 2022 released today. In the same period, however, retail giving has increased from ₹21,000 crore in 2015 to ₹28,000 crore in 2021. The segment that has kept the growth of private domestic philanthropy steady, however, is contributions under corporate social responsibility (CSR) mandates, which have increased.
Overall, the report observes, total private philanthropic funding is expected to grow at 12% in the next five years, as compared to the flat growth of 8-10% it’s been clocking for the last few years, and touch ₹180,000 crore by 2026. The annual report brought out by consulting firm Bain & Company and Dasra, a non-profit venture philanthropy fund, gives an overview of social sector funding and the contribution of various stakeholders.

Although absolute UHNI spends on philanthropy have increased in the last two years, the allocation in comparison to net wealth has reduced, the report says. Former Wipro chairman Azim Premji is the only exception to this. Family philanthropy, or giving through family foundations set up by UHNIs and HNIs, has reduced to one-third of total private giving from 37% in FY2015 to 11% in 2021.
“In the last two years, during the pandemic, there was a feeling or a subjective sense that a lot of giving was happening. Everyone has been trying to help either at the community or the individual level. So, I would have expected a far more significant increase (in numbers),” says Neera Nundy, co-founder, Dasra.
Agreeing with her, Radhika Sridharan, partner at Bain & Company, adds that the contribution from UHNIs has fluctuated year-on-year and there was lack of consistency. “We have seen a lot of fluctuation in giving year-on-year in this space. The funding allocation goes from close to ₹2,000 crore a year to ₹20,000 crore; that’s the kind of deviation the category has seen from individuals over the last six years. The category comprises about 100 UHNIs,” says Sridharan.

The reason for this, she explains, is individuals’ tendency to give a large chunk of money at one go, and not follow up later on. Since UHNIs tend to donate in a large amount—an average of ₹5 crore a year—they may donate one year and not come back to donate for, say, the next two years. “There is no consistency in who is giving and the number of givers. The amount they donate can varies quite substantially every year,” Sridharan says. About 50% of UHNIs have been consistent in their giving, while others “go in and out”, she adds.
There is also a gap between giving as a percentage of net worth, and the gap is especially stark as the net worth of most UHNIs has increased substantially over the last six years. “We haven’t seen giving numbers substantially go up in line with the increase in net worth,” Sridharan says. Each of the 10 UHNIs donate between ₹50-100 crore each year, while the rest, on average, donate ₹15 crore each per year.
On a global scale, the contributions of Indian UHNIs ranges from 0.1% to 0.15% of their net wealth. This is far less than what UHNIs in other countries, including China, have been giving, where the contributions have ranged from 0.5% to 1.4%.
Though individuals may not be giving as much as expected, the report is optimistic about performance of family philanthropy, and predicts a 13% year-on-year growth till 2026. This is likely to be led by technology entrepreneurs and NowGen (belonging to multigenerational philanthropic families) philanthropists.
Uptick in CSR giving
CSR contributions have grown to 23% in 2021 from about 12% in 2015, in terms of total philanthropic contribution as well as the contribution amount. Of course, the 2% legal mandate introduced by the government in 2014 has had a huge role to play in this. (All companies are legally bound to allocate 2% of their average net profit earned over the last three years to CSR).
Over 70% of companies gave less than ₹50 lakh, though there has been a 15% increase in the number of companies in this bracket. A miniscule 3% contributed above ₹10 crore in 2020.
“In 2015, the contribution of BSE 200 companies was more than 50%. It’s reduced now as we are seeing a greater number of smaller companies contributing to the CSR pie,” says Sridharan. According to the report, the contribution from CSR is expected to reach 19% and form 32% of total private giving by 2026.
Unlike family philanthropy, Indian CSR contribution has witnessed steady growth. In fact, in the US, CSR as a proportion of total private giving is not more than 15%, whereas it’s more than 25% in India, Sridharan points out.
In terms of fund distribution, CSR funding was largely focused on health and the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund last year. In fact, 2020-2021 saw a five-fold increase in CSR spend at ₹9,225 crore as compared to ₹1,815 crore in 2019-2020.

Prior to the covid-19 pandemic, CSR allocation showed greater diversity as compared to family giving. Between 2018 and 2021, 70% of CSR funds went to causes relating to education, healthcare, rural development, environmental sustainability and poverty. The rest went to “lesser attractive sectors” like sports, art and culture, animal welfare and women's empowerment. In comparison, family philanthropy and retail (individual givers) fund allocation have largely been biased towards education and healthcare.
In terms of the spike in retail giving, the report observes that a rising middle class, growing popularity of crowdfunding and ease of payments have fuelled this trend. “The opportunity for retail giving is phenomenal. However, we need to strengthen the formal funding system to increase this base. Most of the retail giving still happens in informal space,” says Nundy. “Informal giving doesn’t get captured in this report. The sentiment of the wealthy and average middle-class person wanting to contribute was phenomenal during covid-19. We need to capitalize on that with stronger systems where they can participate,” she says.

Some parents ignore to teach their children when they were young. It cause many children don’t care their behavior and they will get the wrong worldview. I like this book because that is a good advice for children and parents, it can help parents teach their children keep a good behavior when they were young. How to listening to the other people, that is a serious problem for children, especially for parents. Now, more and more children don’t like to listen to the other people.
People who own guns need to keep them put away and out of the reach of children. Parents cannot think that because they taught their children all about guns that it is ok to keep the guns accessible to all. Parents needs to understand themselves how much peer pressure a child gets and what peer pressure will cause someone to do something they knew was wrong, but they still wanted to be in the cool bunch of kids. Or the only way someone will like me is if I pretend to shoot my best friend. So truly it is about the training of guns not the
It derives from a passage in the Bible which states, “He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.” Proverbs 13: 24 Discipline shows a child that they are not above reproach and that they are responsible for their own actions. Children are born instinctively with the understanding of “I am right, you are wrong, and I will do what I please”. But as parents it our sole purpose from the child’s very first breathe to imbed all of what we know and believe to be right in order to survive and flourish in the world around us into them. The Bible also states, “Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod will drive it far from him.” Proverbs 22:15 I myself am a believer in the Christian faith and what I have learned from my belief I firmly stand by. A “spanking” is not the only form of punishment I use, but I feel it is appropriate in times of clear defiance.
First, parents shouldn’t substitute their time with their children with gifts. They should try as much as they can to spend as much time as possible with them. They should show their kids, not just tell them. “No means no. That’s final.” These parents should help their kids distinguish between wants and needs.
Although it seems like one is bribing the child, soon they will be able to cooperate on their own. The reward would be unknown, and treated as a simple an act of kindness. In conclusion, spanking is an ugly way of punishing a child and a terrible attempt to get them to listen. Parents do not realize that they are modeling an aggressive response to misbehavior and so their children learn to use an aggressive response when they are frustrated (Rambsung). Once the child gets older, the child will learn to hide or lie about problems in order to avoid being hit resulting in the connection between the child and parent to be lost forever.
The teachers also should have stepped in when they saw the fight happening and not just stood there. It teaches us students that we should stand up for kids, and teachers are not always the good person in the situation and there could be favoring. In conclusion, I think that The Chocolate War was a very good book that taught very interesting lessons. It always makes me think twice but saying, “no” to something that I should do. I think the lesson here is to just plain out respect everyone and you will not have any problems.
According to Coles, parents have difficulty explaining ethics to their children because they don't want to shatter their kids innocence. They tend to keep them in a bubble so their kids don't grow up with bad experiences, yet they tell them what to believe in. “In many homes parents establish moral assumption, mandates, priorities. They teach children what to believe in, what not to believe in. They teach children what is permissible or not permissible” (61).
In addition, children will learn to argue with each other the same way their parents do. So a good parent must behave in order for his kids to do the same. Secondly, a good parent must have a good attitude. I believe that a reasonable attitude makes a child feel pleasant about the teaching of his parent. For example, when a child acts in a harmful manner, a good parent tells him that such behavior is unacceptable, suggest alternatives, explains this to him and avoids statements such as “You were bad”.
Picture a scenario where two parents/guardians are irritated with the decision of their child. If that boy or girl were to go to their room, weep, and dream of a scenario where their choice was accepted or they could do it over again, nothing in the real world would change, and in turn their dreams would worsen the situation. The truth is, dreams and imaginary fantasylands do not hide the inevitable darkness that is reality. One must wake up from these dreams, and realize they must do something in the real world to obtain
Being a strict parent doesn’t meant that they will be inrespecfull or abuse towards their child, not at all. When I talk about children’s having strict parents, I refer that now in this day’s kids need attention, support from their parents to make sure that the fill the expectations that later they will need in life. Let’s be realistic, when kids have a good foundation in the house and they have a lovely environment, kid’s tent to become respectful and lovely with their parents and others outside the household. Being a strict parent can be very upset and annoying for children’s growing up, but eventually when they grow old they will appreciate it. Page 2 A soft parent that is never home, because she/he is a single parent and they are too busy working or too tired to spent time with their child, this child is not going to know many of the basics for taking care of her/him self.

They call themselves Team 3rd Generation and they have been walking together to find the cure for breast cancer for over 10 years. Four of them make up 3 Generations of breast cancer survivors. Mary, Dorothy, Janet and Jill have a combined 69 years of survivorship. Jill, my niece started her battle at the tender age of 25. We are a family struck by genetic breast cancer. We dream of creating a world free of breast cancer so that our daughters and granddaughters do not ever have to hear the words “you have breast cancer”.
So, for today I will bake.
I will bake for my beloved Mary, who has battled this disease three times. Her strength, courage, and beautiful spirit inspire us all each and every day.
I will bake for Jill my niece and our advocate, who has single handedly raised tens of thousands of dollars to help find a cure. She continues to fight the good fight each and every day.
I will bake for Janet, who is our rock, even when everything around us is falling apart; she pulls us through it all.
Mostly though, I will bake for my precious mother-in-law Dorothy, who in 1976 had a breast removed because of cancer, to find out last year, at age 84, it had returned, this time in the other breast.
Last week she celebrated her 85th birthday.
If you haven’t already, do me a favor and get checked.
It just seems as women, we put just about everyone and everything above ourselves.
If you are at that age, get a mammogram. If not, do a self-check. If you don’t know how, ask your doctor.
It may save your life.
So here is my recipe.
Peace be with you,

The holy month of Ramadan has dawned upon us again. Ramadan is special to me as it always brings me back to the time when I was a student at a local public university. I stayed in a hostel dorm and I remember an occasion when I had to go over to my Muslim course-mate’s room to rush an assignment for class.
We worked late into the wee hours of the morning and at one point my course-mate told me to stop as it was time for “Sahur”. I honestly did not know what “Sahur” was at the time and only found out after my course-mate explained it to me that it was the early morning meal before fasting starts.
What tugged on my heart strings was that all the other Muslim inhabitants of the dorm told me to join them for “Sahur” by sharing the packed food they bought just a few hours before. They made me feel the warmth of family when I was far from home. In hindsight, they were actually the only family I had at the hostel.
So I find myself again reminiscing about the times when I was with the only family I knew in my hostel. It didn’t matter that we practised different religions. The “Sahur” experience, in my opinion, amplified the Malaysian values of moderation, peace, respect, and, above all, unity. To me, it turned friendship to kinship and forged a lifelong unbreakable bond.
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed things this time around. Merrymaking might be toned down or muted and this is evident as some states are not allowing Ramadan bazaars while some are allowing them to operate under strict standard operating procedures.
However, do not let your festive spirit be hampered. I call on everyone to let the holy month of Ramadan serve as a guide for all of us to do more good and to help each other.
We are, after all, a brotherhood of men, and it is our sense of togetherness and unity that will see us through these trying times.
