The use of robotics in medicine is transforming the way surgeries are performed and improving patient care and outcomes. At the same time, technology is increasing operational efficiency.
Locally, Novant Health New Hanover Regional Medical Center was recently named a Robotic Surgery Center of Excellence, and Wilmington Health became the first to perform a robotic-assisted sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass at Novant Health NHRMC.
Other regional examples include EmergeOrtho’s Brunswick Surgery Center, an outpatient orthopedic surgery center in Leland, which has robot-assisted systems for patients undergoing joint replacement surgery. And Dosher Memorial Hospital in Southport this summer began offering Stryker’s Mako robotic arm-assisted total hip replacement procedures.
The scope of robotic technology in clinical services is wide.
According to Brandon Hill, business director of surgical services at Novant Health NHRMC, gynecology was where robotics volume began and flourished for many years and remains the highest volume robotics service. General surgery is the fastest growing area in the da Vinci Surgical System used by the hospital. Da Vinci’s newest platform, the Xi, provides greater versatility allowing procedures such as colorectal procedures to be performed using the robot. In addition, general surgeons often perform gallbladder, hernia, appendectomy, and bariatric surgeries.
“Local providers began performing primary and revision knee and hip procedures at Novant Health New Hanover Orthopedic Hospital this spring,” Hill said. “At Novant Health New Hanover Regional Medical Center, we have four Xi robots. Common procedures in urology include prostate and kidney procedures. Gynecology volume is driven by hysterectomies, and the robot is especially helpful with minimally invasive pelvic floor reconstruction for patients with pelvic organ prolapse and gynecologic cancer.
“With each evolution of the robot,” added Hill, “the capabilities have increased, expanding the horizon of available procedures and patients that can be treated robotically.”
Jayme Stokes, a Wilmington Health board-certified general surgeon, is the bariatric surgeon who performed the first robotic-assisted sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass at Novant Health NHRMC.
“The robotic device has been around in some form for 20 years or more. Just in the last five years, general surgery has embraced the technology, and in the last two or three years, there has been a rapid uptake of bariatric surgery,” Stokes said.
Bariatric surgery, originally performed with a large incision and then laparoscopically in the early and late 1990s, has progressed to robotics.
“With each evolution, patients have benefited significantly from less pain, shorter surgical times, shorter hospital stays, quicker returns to work and activities, and fewer complications,” Stokes said.
He said technology is one of the drivers behind the use of robotics in surgery. While robotic surgery is still a laparoscopic case performed through four or five incisions, the robot, which is attached to a tower with robotic arms controlled by the surgeon, provides 3D visualization with greater magnification and clarity. A finer dissection allows surgeons to tackle more complex cases with greater confidence.
Timothy Chase, chair of the robotics steering committee at Novant Health NHRMC, is a urogynecologist at Novant Health Glen Meade OB/GYN who uses robotics to perform complex pelvic reconstruction surgeries. Chase sees many of the same benefits.
“Some of the main advantages of robotic surgery over traditional laparoscopic surgery are improved visualization and dexterity,” he said. “Improved visualization comes from high-definition 3D displays, and improved dexterity comes from robotic instrument design. I can move the instruments like a human wrist and hand, unlike laparoscopic instruments that simply open and close in one plane. This allows for more precise manipulation of the tissue, which reduces postoperative pain and improves the recovery process.”
Hill said many new surgeons are robot-trained, and when they look for jobs, they look for hospitals that can provide the latest technology, including robotic access.
Stokes said efforts are currently underway to expand the use of robotics to other surgeries, such as breast and thyroid.
“There is great interest in future robotic platforms that overlay CT scans and X-rays to guide more precise surgery,” he said, noting that robotics are moving into both planned and emergency surgeries.
Wilmington Health plans to add robotic surgery in the practice’s ambulatory surgery center in mid- to late 2023, spokeswoman Desirae Hrynko said.
“Robotics is the way of the future,” Stokes said. “It is growing and expanding. More and more surgeons are gaining experience and offering the technology to their patients.”

Lorne Michaels has helmed “Saturday Night Live” for 40 years, but in the entertainment business that might as well be an eternity. So how has Michaels kept ‘SNL’ current and fresh after all these years?
One way he’s accomplished this is by having complete control over the show. Except for an absence in the early ‘80s—when the show was nearly cancelled—Michaels has been the main decision maker for the duration of SNL. Whether it’s who is chosen as a cast member, whether or not a joke works, or who gets let go, ultimately Michaels has that decision.
Saturday Night Live first aired in October 1975, becoming a shining star in the dark landscape of television at the time. Its premise was simple: a late night sketch comedy show broadcast live across the United States once a week. Expectations for the show lasting past its first season weren’t set particularly high, especially by Michaels himself. In an interview with The New York Post, he said, “At the end of the first season I’d written everything I’d wanted to write several times over. I thought of it as ‘That Championship Season.’ I didn’t know what I would do for a second season.”
But SNL survived a second season, then a third and a fourth, and last month it celebrated its 40th season on the air. An anniversary special was aired for this occasion, which brought back cast members from the last four decades.
Michaels uses a specific formula for his show, and will combat anyone who tries to change it. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Michaels describes a few instances when a guest host or the network tried to change that formula. When a network exec tried to cut music from the show, Michaels relented for a few episodes, but ultimately Lorne got his way. Another issue he’s run into is hosts trying to push the envelope of what’s appropriate, but Michaels and his crew have been through it all before, and know when something works and when it doesn’t.
Ratings for this show were the best SNL—or NBC for that matter—has seen in years. According to Variety, Nielson ratings garnered 23.1 million viewers from 8 to 11 PM for the February 15 celebration. That’s the highest number of viewers for an NBC primetime show since the Frasier finale in 2004. This is clearly a huge success for the network as well as the show, and proves that to this day SNL has remained a relevant television staple.
When asked if SNL should go on without him, Michaels—who will be 71 this year—replied, “I don’t know. I’m going to keep doing it as long as I possibly can because I love it and because it’s what I do.”
Lorne Michaels has kept SNL alive by keeping to a strict formula and maintaining control of his production by overseeing all parts of it, from casting to writing to the format of the show. Saturday Night Live is truly a Lorne Michaels production.
What will the future hold for Michaels and SNL? Do you think the show will celebrate a 50th anniversary?

I've read several books by Julie Klassen at this point and I can say that this is one of my favorites. I think it was the mystery that really drew me in. It reminded me a lot of The Tutor's Daughter in that aspect. Although I wasn't sure about a few of my guesses until they were revealed, I did figure out all of the mysteries.
Though a bit long (this is her longest book to date), I found it hard to put down. I liked reading about all the characters. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the Parson being a love interest at first, but he was humble and not overly preachy which was nice. There was the irritating trope of characters thinking the one they love is in love with someone else that runs prevalent in these Regency romances, but I was able to overlook it.
Minor spoiler here...I did feel like the message of not seeking worldly treasures was a little heavy handed near the end with the way things end up for the character Miles. I was kind of sad and disappointed about that. I really thought he was going to come around and find happiness.

The stunning Perception Bar at the W London Hotel, just minutes from Leicester Square Underground Station, has a wonderful Tea Total Afternoon Tea on at the moment, which contrary to what the name may suggest, is a playful and very colourful selection of alcoholic shots paired with sweet treats, a selection of sandwiches and scones.
Soon arrived our Afternoon Tea selection, presented in a sleek box complete with pull-out draws and hidden doors, reminding me of a dolls house, only much more upscale. Accompanying the box was a colourful selection of shots.
圣arting with door one, we had the Spring Planter, which is a mint-chocolate mousse-filled flower pot with popping candy dirt and sprouting micro cress. This was paired with the Banana Republic shot containing Belvedere, sage, lime, apricot jam, cinnamon and banana. This had a jelly like texture and best eaten with a spoon!
In the next section was Queen Bee, with fresh flavours of avocado, lemon thyme, pistachio, bee pollen and local honey locally sourced from Walthamstow. This was paired with Hayfever, a drink I had tried before when I experienced the Dining Series.
The Tea Total Afternoon Tea is great fun, a fantastic idea for a boozy Afternoon Tea with friends, or for anyone seeking something unique and different. We really enjoyed it, and it was fun to open the various doors and see what was hiding in each of them. The presentation was wonderful and we had a fabulous time.

He took them on a tour of the great football cathedral last Friday. It was quiet and empty then.
Tommy Armstrong has seen Memorial Stadium like this many times during his Husker career, but this time was different. This time, for the first time, his mother and sister were looking around in wonder at it with him.
"Whoa, it looks smaller on TV," said his mother, Nadine. "All these seats gonna be filled tomorrow?"
Yep. Completely full, the Husker senior quarterback told her.
The next day, the silence gone, Armstrong threw for 377 yards, ran for a touchdown and threw for three others, giving him 57 career touchdown passes, more than any Nebraska player before him.
In the postgame locker room, Husker head coach Mike Riley gave Armstrong the first game ball he's ever received at Nebraska.
But part of being the Husker quarterback is that criticism still finds you even on a day when you receive a game ball and throw for all those yards.
Because in that 52-17 win against Wyoming, Armstrong also made one throw he knows he can't afford to make in bigger games, like the one this Saturday against Oregon. On a first-and-goal from the 5-yard line, pressured and rolling to his right, he forced a pass instead of throwing it away. It was intercepted.
"Totally unnecessary," Riley said of that turnover after the game.
For a quarterback who has heard for eight months about the 16 interceptions he threw a season ago, it takes only one mistake like that for critics to point at as cause for concern.
This, sophomore left tackle Nick Gates suspects, is the life of a quarterback at many places, not just Nebraska.
"If the game is going good, they're going to get the shine and if the game is going bad they're just going to rain on him, so it comes with the job," Gates said.
Armstrong, whose performance against Oregon this week will no doubt bring out many dramatic opinions, is plenty used to it by now.
He puts the focus on what his coaches and teammates think about his performance each week.
"Because those are the guys that grade me on how I play, and they make the final decision of what plays I have to do," Armstrong said. "At the end of the day, people say this or that, and it's easy to say that on a computer or behind a phone.
"You don't put in the work we do. You don’t wake up at 5 o'clock in the morning and go through 12-to-13-hour days six days out of the week, and then turn around and just have three hours of a day that all of a sudden could determine if you're good, you're bad, or if they just don't want to watch you at all."
The words read strong, but not untrue as to how it is. The quarterback said all of this in an even tone.
He watched Taylor Martinez take many arrows before him, and he knows that whoever follows him at the position next year, be it Tanner Lee or Patrick O'Brien, will take their own criticism after their first mistake in a game as a Husker.
His advice to them: Don't pay close attention to social media, for one. And find some close relationships with at least a few players on the team.
He mentions Jordan Westerkamp, Brandon Reilly, Tre Foster and Alonzo Moore as guys who have helped him. He's also maintained a close connection with former Husker O-lineman Jeremiah Sirles, now with the Minnesota Vikings.
"You're not going to be friends with everybody on the team, but you have a select few that you're really close with and that at the end of the day, you guys are going to stay together," Armstrong said. "I think that having a relationship with certain guys that know exactly how it feels to be in that situation helps.
"And I know that Tanner and Patrick have guys that are older like myself and Brandon that they're friends with that they'll learn from and understand that. Hey, you may be praised right now, but once you get in there and that first mistake happens, how are you going to handle that situation?"
The support of teammates can lift you up even after the worst game of your life, the quarterback added.
"You go to the locker room and they say it’s going to be all right, 'Let that go, we've got another game next week.' That's how I handle criticism. My brothers got my back, and I know at the end of the day they're going to support me no matter what."
Such support is always critical, but especially on Saturdays like this one, when every decision made by Armstrong will be placed under heavy analysis.
Fair or not, people are going to make big statements one way or another on how they think his senior season will go based off his performance in a big game against the Ducks.
"It's a tough position to play," said the senior wide receiver Moore. "If I was in that position, I probably wouldn't handle it so well as he does, but he's a tough guy for doing that."
For whatever criticism that's come, Armstrong is the only active FBS quarterback with more than 7,000 career passing yards and 1,000 career rushing yards. With 24 career wins, he is six victories from moving ahead of Turner Gill for No. 3 on the NU chart for most wins by a QB. Eric Crouch is tops with 35, and Tommie Frazier has 33.
You have to have staying power to be on that list. You have to be able to not let the noise bog you down.

A Mediterranean diet might save your life, study says2/26/2013
Get ready to pour on the olive oil. A comprehensive new study strongly links the Mediterranean diet with heart health, suggesting it could prevent up to 30 percent of strokes, heart attacks and heart disease deaths. The findings were so strong, in fact, that researchers concluded the study earlier than planned because the results were so obvious. The diet consisted of three servings of fish per week, an equal amount of legumes and five servings of fruits and veggies per day. And though processed foods (like "commercially made cookies, cakes and pastries") were verboten, not all indulgences were off limits: Study participants got to enjoy seven glasses of wine per week.

Clinical and economic impact of statin therapy compliance on hyperlipidemic patients with concomitant CHD risk factors
AuthorSamant, Navendu Dinanath
AdvisorShaya, Fadia T.
MetadataShow full item record
AbstractIn cholesterol management, a common and widely used class of drug is 3-hydroxyl-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitor (statin). These drugs lower cholesterol by slowing down the production of cholesterol and by increasing the liver's ability to remove LDL cholesterol already in the blood. Statins are well tolerated, and serious side effects such as liver problems, muscle soreness, pain, and weakness are rare. Compliance to prescribed medication is an important component of appropriate pharmacotherapy. Maryland Medicaid managed care (MCO) data were used to examine risk factors of patient non-compliance to statin therapy and its impact on healthcare utilization and the risk of having a new cardiovascular event among patients with hyperlipidemia and one or more CHD risk factors. The sample included Maryland Medicaid MCO patients who were diagnosed with hyperlipidemia and an additional CHD risk factor and were statin drug users. The proportion of patients compliant to statin therapy was 38 percent. The average age of the sample was 50. Over half of the sample was African American (50.69 percent), the rest Caucasian (41.54 percent) and Others (7.77 percent). Results for predictors of statin therapy compliance indicated that age and race had a significant impact on compliance. Although statistically non-significant, compliance was higher among patients with higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) scores. The probability of being compliant to statin therapy increased with age. African Americans (odds ratio = 0.662, 95 percent CI = 0.580-0.756) and Other race (odds ratio = 0.689, 95 percent CI = 0.549-0.865) groups were less compliant to statin therapy than Caucasians. The cost model indicated that compliant patients did not differ in cardiovascular disease (CVD) related medical costs from semi-compliant or non-compliant patients. The results of the CV risk model indicated that patients who were compliant to statin therapy had lower risk of a cardiovascular event than patients not compliant to statins and the findings were statistically significant. In conclusion, the study did not find significant evidence to prove that compliant patients would have lower CVD related costs. Risk of CV event was lower in compliant patients and was statistically significant. The study was conducted from January 1, 2002 through June 31, 2005. Future studies could examine the impact of compliance over a longer period of time in the Medicaid population.

A federal agency has scheduled public hearings next month to discuss a plan to sell New York’s Plum Island.
The island off the eastern tip of Long Island is home to the country’s only laboratory that studies infectious animal diseases that could affect the livestock industry.
The General Services Administration released a draft environmental impact statement on the proposed sale this summer. The agency recommends selling the 840-acre island. No price has been set.
The Department of Homeland Security is moving forward with plans to open a new $1.14 billion laboratory in Manhattan, Kan. to replace the Plum Island facility.
The GSA hearings will be held at 6 p.m. on Oct 17 in Old Saybrook, Conn., and the following day at Greenport High School on Long Island.

|Abstract||The seasonal patterns of nitrification, denitrification and dissimilatory ammonium production (DAP) rates were studied in the sediment of 2 stations in the Thau lagoon (south of France). The station ZA was located within the shellfish farming zone and the station B was the reference site. A marked effect of shellfish fanning on bacterial activities was observed. Spatial differences were associated with discrepancies in the organic content and the reduction state of sediments, i.e. highest reductive processes (denitrification and DAP) were noted in shellfish farming area, whereas the oxidative process (nitrification) was predominant outside the farming zone. At both stations, the DAP activity increased in September (autumn) concomitant with an increase of the C/N ratio in the sediment due to the sedimentation of the summer phytoplanktonic production. Nitrification and denitrification rates exhibited maxima in November (winter) corresponding to dissolved inorganic nitrogen inputs from the surrounding land. In the shellfish farming site, 98 % of nitrate was reduced to NH4+ and 2 % to N2O showing that the most of the NO3- was reduced to ammonium and remained available for the ecosystem.|

In order to speed up reactions or to increase the solubility of a compound, chemists often times reflux reaction mixtures. This step implies that the reaction mixture is brought to a boil. The lowest boiling compound in the mixture determines the temperature when this occurs, usually the solvent. It condenses and returns into the reaction vessel.
The picture below shows a reflux setup for a macro-scale experiment used in upper division laboratories e.g. Chem 144 and Chem 174. It consists of a round bottom flask, a reflux condenser (water-jacketed) and heating source (here: heating mantle). The entire setup is connected to an inert gas line since the used starting material or products are air sensitive in this case.
Even though the micro-scale setup is a little smaller, it still contains similar components: a conical vial (or small round bottom flask), a condenser (air condenser or water jacketed depending which course you are enrolled) and a heating source (most of the time a hotplate/Al-block).
Independent of the scale that you run the reaction, keep the following things in mind:
Make sure that the reaction vessel is not more than half filled to allow enough room for expansion and boiling.
The entire setup has to be clamped at the neck of the flask (using a proper sized clamp) or at the air condenser in micro-scale using compression caps. It has to hold the entire weight of the entire setup.
If you use an air condenser, you will have to cool the condenser using a wet paper towel.
The inlet of the water is on the lower end of the condenser, the outlet at the upper end independent if the condenser is used for reflux or distillation. This way you will require a lower flow rate for cooling, because the outer jacket of the condenser will fill up with water first before it reaches the outlet at the top.
Usually a hotplate is used together with an Al-block. Make sure that the vial or flask fits decently in one of the holes. If it fits too tightly, it might get stuck upon heating. If you don't have an Al-block, you can manufacture a pouch from Al-foil which often does the same job.
The heating mantle should fit the flask size. A heating mantle that is either too small or too big, has a poor contact with the flask, which damages the heating mantle. In addition, the temperature is very difficult to control. The lack of contact causes the heating mantle to overheat and burn out. A heating mantle that is slightly to big can be filled with sand to improve the heat transfer. Most heating mantles have no temperature/power control. An external device has to be attached to control the power input. Never plug the heating mantle directly into a wall plug!!
6. General Warning
If you heat a system, you need to have an 'overpressure valve' somewhere in your setup. It doesn't matter what you heat, the media always will expand (more or less) and will ultimatively build up a significant pressure, which can cause heavy explosions, followed by a fire if you heat flammable or pyrophoric materials.
For a better seal e.g. to perform vacuum distillations, the ground glass joints should be lightly lubricated. The high vacuum grease is usually stable up to ~150 C.
8. Other important issues
Don't forget to add a spin vane, boiling stone or a spin bar to your flask in order to agitate the solution during the reaction/reflux.
A simple reflux setup for a recrystallization consists of an Erlenmeyer flask with an watch glass with some ice cubes on the top (see below). The solvent will boil and condense at the cold watch glass and drip back into the Erlenmeyer flask.

Report: Regulators Knew Glyphosate Caused Birth Defects
Don Huber, an emeritus professor at Purdue University and retired U.S. Army Colonel, was virtually ignored after writing a letter in January to Tom Vilsack, head of the USDA, about the environmental and animal health dangers associated with the use of glyphosate and requesting a moratorium on deregulating crops genetically altered to be immune to Roundup.
Dr. Huber was sent a polite letter in response, and, less than three weeks later, the Obama administration approved 2 new Roundup Ready® GMO crops, intended to be planted this past spring (though a U.S. Supreme Court ruling should, ideally, be holding up that process).
In his letter, Huber commented on the herbicide itself, saying, “It is well-documented that glyphosate promotes soil pathogens and is already implicated with the increase of more than 40 plant diseases; it dismantles plant defenses by chelating vital nutrients; and it reduces the bioavailability of nutrients in feed, which in turn can cause animal disorders.”
Now we’re learning that regulators have known as early as 1980 that glyphosate, the chemical on which Roundup is based, can cause birth defects in laboratory animals. A report released yesterday by international researchers at Earth Open Source, titled “Round-up and birth defects: Is the public being kept in the dark?”, says that regulators misled the public about glyphosate’s safety and as recently as last year, the German Federal Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety- the German government body dealing with the glyphosate review- told the European Commission that there was no evidence glyphosate causes birth defects.
Although glyphosate was originally due to be reviewed in 2012, the Commission decided late last year not to bring the review forward, instead delaying it until 2015. The chemical will not be reviewed under more stringent, up-to-date standards until 2030.
“Our examination of the evidence leads us to the conclusion that the current approval of glyphosate and Roundup is deeply flawed and unreliable,” write the report authors in their conclusion. “What is more, we have learned from experts familiar with pesticide assessments and approvals that the case of glyphosate is not unusual.”

Do you love me for me... or for yourself? Watch this X
We all want to love and to love, but love is the one thing that can bring the most misery and unhappiness.
It's ironic how we human beings feel so empty and lost without love, yet we can also feel so upset and tortured by it.
Perhaps the problem is how readily we accept the suffering that love brings. When someone treats us badly, or wants to keep the relationship secret, or loses their temper easily, we accept it as part of the suffering that we have to go through for love.
Hurt and pain is part of life, but it isn't normal when it is hurt and pain that is constantly inflicted by someone who says they love you.
Anyone can love greatly and passionately, but not everyone can love genuinely. A genuine love is where you allow your love to drive your actions, instead of letting your emotional state dictate what you do.
Love is kind, even when there is anger or frustration, love is still kind. And kindness doesn't hurt, it doesn't intentionally cause pain. Love is not how huge our regret is, love is not how we vow to be better the next time. Love is being able to consider another human being, and not just our own desires and emotions.
Love is hard, because it goes beyond feelings, it goes beyond what we feel at that moment. Love isn't without mistakes, but it is without the intention to make someone feel bad. Love is not controlling, it inspires change through acceptance.
People say that love makes us put someone else before us, but that is not true. We are only able to love someone genuinely when we can fully accept and love ourselves, because that is when we are not in a relationship to take, we are in a relationship to give.
When we love someone; we don't love them for what they can give us, but for what we can give them. We're human, and we'll have expectations, but true, genuine love is one that chooses to bring joy, and not suffering, to the people we love because we would want them to be happy, always.

I think that’s all for now. In other news, in what was probably a financially unwise decision (but one that hopefully will be good for the soul), I put an expensive plane ticket on my credit card this morning. I’ll be going home for Thanksgiving.
It has been almost one month since my last post, and I have some updating to do. The Lebanese lentils and quinoa dish above is taken from Sarah B.’s My New Roots. Sarah B. recommends pairing the lentils with roasted cauliflower. But earlier today, I found some Japanese eggplant and fresh shiitake mushrooms (picked just this morning, I was told) at a nearby farmer’s market. I decided I really couldn’t wait until tomorrow to eat them.
This second dish is roasted butternut squash with pan-fried grilling cheese and dukkah on massaged kale. I’ve been fully embracing Sarah B.’s autumn foods — despite the 80/90-degree weather. I’m hoping it will cool down soon. Britton’s dukkah recipe calls for coriander, cumin, black peppercorns, sesame seeds, and hazelnuts:
The third autumn recipe I’ve tried from My New Roots is a red onion lentil soup with Manchego toasts. This was my first time using black beluga lentils. They hold their shape so very well during cooking. I’m thoroughly impressed.
These last two — also from Sarah B. — are from a few weeks ago. First, a blueberry chia pudding:
And second, a roasted red pepper walnut dip that I made the day my new food processor arrived in the mail.
All in all, these dishes make for 35 completed recipes from Sarah B.’s My New Roots. There’s only 75 more to go.
And also: These stuffed cabbage rolls below were the main course for my last dinner in Wisconsin last August. I can’t believe a month has passed already. Time really should learn to slow down a bit.
My brother came over for dinner last night. We made a small fire in the pit outside and roasted a few marshmallows before enjoying these two dishes from Amy Chaplin’s At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen: a late summer stew with white beans and parsley pistou and a coconut custard tart with a toasted coconut crust. The late summer stew was even better than expected. I love when that happens.
These two dishes are our 46th and 47th recipes from Chaplin’s book.
Our latest dish from Sarah B.’s My New Roots is this “trippy tie-dye soup.” We prepared two soups for this dish (a white bean one and a beetroot one) and then swirled them together to make, in Sarah B.’s words, “one mind-bending bowl of soup.” Eating this was total fun. We thought it would be especially great as a starter for a dinner party.
Over the past two months, we’ve made 30 dishes from Sarah B.’s book, which means we’ve made over 28% of her recipes. Job well done, I’d say.

In my final Isle of Skye blog I’ll be reviewing Cafe Sia, a place that had been recommended to me as a sensible eating experience while in Broadford.
I’m not a great one for recommendations but the opportunity of a bit of Haggis pre-race filled me with a childish glee and you’re right I don’t normally bother with food reviews on my running blog because it’s a running blog but when somethings worthwhile, well it’s worthwhile and I think this is worth sharing.
All in all I ate four times at Cafe Sia across a four day period with the whole of Saturday being taken out by the Skye Trail Ultra and Sunday lunchtime taken out by being asleep.
The setting for Cafe Sia is a little way back from the main through road of Skye with around 60 covers. There’s some pleasant bench style seating on the exterior and the inside is an eclectic mix of dark wood and soft furnishing – it’s cosy and stylish but not at the cost of being friendly. Perhaps the word I’m looking for is cosmopolitan but that’s not right either, perhaps it’s best described as ‘uniquely itself’ and all the better for it.
When I first arrived I was offered the choice of the available tables and I took one near the rear of the building next to a door with a gentle breeze and a clear view of the kitchen. On the main bar there were staff hanging out, delivering orders and operating the large wonderful smelling coffee machine, to the far side was a collection of delicious looking cakes. I browsed the menu – supplied on a clip board – just gimmicky enough to be cute but retain its practicality. I chose the thing on the menu I had come here for – The Highland Melt and dipped up to counter to order.
I ordered my sandwich alongside a thick tasty chocolate milkshake and soon I was greeted by the sight of bread, cheese and haggis served on square slate plates with a small but perfectly formed dressed side salad. This was the Haggis elevated to a new level of delight. Being hungry I devoured the lot in mere seconds, thanked my excellent hosts and departed but I’d be back.
Post race briefing I decided I needed something for dinner before I grabbed some sleep in preparation for the Skye Trail Ultra. I did check out the fish and chip shop but didn’t fancy anything on offer – although it did smell delightful. Instead I meandered back to Cafe Sia and ordered the fabulous Raspberry Ripple milkshake and what was pleasantly misleading described as a fish finger sandwich. I sat alone outside on the decked seating area and again enjoyed the surroundings and my food. I’d only wanted something light and this was perfect just a few hours before the race.
It would be another 38hrs, a 74 mile race and a Flash Gordon adventure before I would return and it was a triumphant return. I ambled in with my hiking poles – which although I couldn’t use them in the race I could use to get me round Skye – and was offered one of the few seats remaining, it was a nice window seat with more than enough room for me to spread out and also quietly observe the busy restaurant around me. Even on a busy night like this and on my own I didn’t feel uncomfortable or unwelcome.
Service was as excellent as my previous visits and I ordered the hottest pizza on the menu with scotch bonnet chilli and spicy Scottish sausage with thick tasty tomato sauce and enough cheese to make it feel hearty. I added a large portion of potato wedges because I felt I’d earned them and an ice cold Irn-Bru (otherwise known as the drink of champions).
What surprised me was just how hot and spicy the pizza was yet retaining all the flavour I was hoping for, this was a considered flavour combination and I hoovered the pizza up with my post race runger – I knew I’d had something special, plus I’d eaten like a king for less than £20.
I went back to my accommodation that night, my hunger truly sated.
Having packed up that evening I realised that my bus stop for the journey back to Inverness started outside Cafe Sia, I therefore took the opportunity to dip inside and enjoy a leisurely breakfast. I was asked very politely if I’d mind leaving my gigantic rucksack outside in the porch area, which I happily did as you really don’t want to be tripping over bags.
I settled on the Eggs Benedict and a flat white – the smell of the freshly ground coffee had been luring me in all weekend. Of course I added in a final chocolate milkshake too and I sucked deeply on the milkshake straw and as I did the events of the weekend flooded back in my mild head freeze.
Skye had been amazing and Cafe Sia had played a significant part in that.
As you might expect giving my glowing experience of Cafe Sia the eggs benedict lived up to my expectations – they were a freshly cooked class act. I shan’t attempt to convey the taste but if I simply say ‘Yum’ you probably get the meaning. A second cup of the delicious coffee followed and my culinary journey in Skye was complete.
In conclusion I can say, without reservation, that food in Scotland, or at least at Cafe Sia is a delight. The Isle of Skye has a little gem that is as popular with the locals as it is with the visitors such as myself. If you’re in Broadford then the foody delights at this hotspot could power you up some hilly climb, help you recover from your exertions or simply serve you some outstandingly delicious nosh.
Now importantly, while the food was exceptional there was a thing that bettered it – the service. During my various visits the service was always warm and welcoming but also professional – let me assure you many a decent London restaurant could learn a thing or two from Cafe Sia regarding service.
So what are you waiting for? I’ve given you three great reasons to visit the Isle of Skye – ultra running, great food and Flash Gordon – enjoy!
N.B. During high season its recommended to book for the evening meals but believe me it’s worth the booking. Bon appetit!

text: Writing under the pseudonym ""John Helforth,"" H.D. published this slim book in a limited edition during her lifetime. Its republication, together with the recently published novels HERmione and The Gift, provides overwhelming evidence that the highly accomplished imagist poet possessed almost no narrative skill whatsoever. This ""novel"" pretends to be a found manuscript: Helforth provides a lengthy introduction to the literary remains of one Natalia Saunderson, who committed suicide by following ""two straight lines to infinity."" That is, she skated to her death on thin ice in the middle of a vast lake, leaving her muff and a watch by the shore--a gesture supposedly fraught with meaning. Helforth, who works for a publisher of ""semi-popular scientific brochures,"" never took Nat (as she was called) seriously, ""and didn't really like her."" He nevertheless now offers up her surviving work as a bit of automatic writing--12 prose pieces, each written immediately after nights spent with her young lover, David. This illicit affair, prompted by her husband's unfaithfulness with another young male, is also a change from her usual flings with women, including her husband's sister. A virtual merry-go-round of promiscuous sex, these couplings are re-created in the most voluptuous prose--metaphorically overripe and orgasmically incoherent. When it is clear, it reads like pretentious porn (""His rooted-stalk would push down. Those other lips would be penetrated by the slow poison of that beating earth flower. . . He would work into her, fertilize, invoke that flower""). The point of all this feverish rambling seems to be that reality is never as good as our dreams--H.D. was full of her recent experiences with analysis. In her introduction, H.D.'s daughter, Perdita Schaffner, commits a forgivable error: impressed by her mother's overly lush renderings of ""erotic experimentation,"" she assumes that others will be too.

Stage I Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma, like other types of cancer, is staged at the time of diagnosis. The stages include I, II, III, and IV, with I being the earliest and IV being the most progressed stage of the disease. Staging is important because it guides treatment and helps give patients a more accurate prognosis. Stage I is the earliest stage of mesothelioma, but diagnosing it this early is rare.
Because mesothelioma is difficult to diagnose, because it is rare, because it mimics more common illnesses, and because it has a long latency period, stage I diagnoses are not as common. This cancer, which attacks the mesothelium that lines most organs in the body, is aggressive and moves quickly. Most patients get a diagnosis at a later stage, but those that get a stage I diagnosis have more treatment options and a better overall prognosis and hope for a cure.
TNM Staging for Mesothelioma
There are multiple systems for staging cancer, but the TNM system is most common and most often used for mesothelioma. While diagnosing the cancer, doctors, pathologists, and specialists will also try to stage the disease accurately. This involves looking at the cells in the tumor, the extent of the tumor, and any metastasis or spreading of the original tumor to the lymph nodes or any other part of the body. Doctors use biopsy samples and imaging scans. In some cases they may need to do exploratory surgery, although this is invasive and avoided if possible.
The T in TNM describes the extent of the primary tumor, how big it is, how much it has grown into surrounding tissue. N describes any spread of the cancer to lymph nodes. These are cells in the immune system and often the first place cancer spreads. M describes the extent to which the cancer has metastasized or spread to other organs and tissues in the body.
Stage I Mesothelioma According to TNM
Stage I mesothelioma is diagnosed if the TNM assignments are T1, N0, and M0. T1 means that the original tumor has not spread very far from its original location. With pleural mesothelioma, the most common type of this cancer, T1 describes a tumor that exists in the pleura—the tissue that surrounds the lungs—on just one side of the chest. It may have penetrated the pleura around the diaphragm, which is the muscle underneath the lungs, or the pleura in between the two lungs. An assignment of N0 means that the cancer has not yet spread to any nearby lymph nodes and an assignment of M0 means that there has been no metastasis.
Treatment for Stage I Mesothelioma
Because there has been no spread of the cancer to lymph nodes or other organs, stage I mesothelioma has the most treatment options. Mesothelioma is almost always considered incurable, but for those at stage I there is hope and a possibility of going into remission. As long as a patient is healthy and able to withstand it, most doctors will recommend aggressive and multimodal treatment at this stage.
One of the most important distinctions between stage I and later stage mesothelioma is that it is most likely resectable. In other words, surgery to attempt to remove all or most of the cancerous tissue is a possibility. When the cancer has spread to other locations, surgery becomes a less viable option. For most stage I patients a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy gives the best hope of survival.
For surgical treatment there are a couple of options. A pleurectomy and decortication removes all of the pleura on the side of the chest with the tumor that surrounds the lungs, the diaphragm, and the space between the lungs. More radical is an extrapleural pneumonectomy, which removes the pleura, but also the lung and the diaphragm on the side where the tumor is found. This surgery is only recommended for health patients and is only performed by specialists. Surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible is also an option for peritoneal mesothelioma. That surgery may remove the abdominal mesothelium as well as the omentum, a layer of fat that hangs over the abdominal organs.
Chemotherapy is medication that targets fast-growing cells in the body and radiation is a beam of high-energy waves that can be aimed at a tumor to kill cancer cells. Each of these are often used before or after surgery in patients with stage I mesothelioma. Chemotherapy may be used before surgery to shrink the tumor and either may be used after to kill any remaining cancer cells and to prevent a recurrence.
Stage I Prognosis
Patients getting a stage I diagnosis for mesothelioma are rare. This stage of the disease comes with the best prognosis and an average survival time of nearly two years. That is compared to a survival time of one year or less for stage IV patients. Some stage I patients have actually beaten mesothelioma and remained in remission for years and even decades. The average is only a guideline and the actual prognosis for a patient depends on many individual factors.
Aside from the stage of the cancer, other factors that improve the prognosis are a younger age, good overall health, positive lifestyle habits, like not smoking, and aggressive and early treatment. Getting treatment for mesothelioma almost always extends life expectancy, and in stage I it actually has a chance of curing the cancer. If you have been diagnosed at this stage, you may want to take an aggressive approach to give yourself the best prognosis possible.
Most people with mesothelioma were exposed to asbestos at work through materials they used on the job. Years of exposure has led to thousands of cases of this devastating cancer and too few receive a diagnosis early enough to have much hope of surviving it. Even if you are a stage I patient with hope of beating it, you still have legal rights to sue and seek compensation for your illness. Let a mesothelioma lawyer help you decide what to do next and what steps to take to get justice.

Several secondary phases were identified in the Mn4Si7 matrix: Ge1-xSix (0.1 < x < 0.9) solid solution precipitates with Ge concentration ranging from 5 at. % up to 93 at.%, MoSi2 platelets, MnSi and Mn5Si3 precipitates. Their morphology, structure and crystallographic relationships with the HMS matrix were determined. Mostly local strains in the matrix and precipitates due to lattice misfits at interfaces derived from crystallographic relationships were found two orders of magnitude higher than deformation induced by thermal expansion mismatch. Only a few exceptions of specific relationships were found when the lattice misfit and thermal mismatch have close values. The largest misfit of about 22% was observed between MnSi and Mn4Si7 what led to big and numerous cracks in crystals. Therefore, doping can improve the material performance (1) by preventing the formation of MnSi precipitates with metallic properties and (2) by reduction of cracking and crack propagation because of larger MnSi/Mn4Si (7) lattice misfit compared to Ge1-xSix/Mn4Si7 or MoSi2/Mn4Si7 misfits.

Lindsay Lohan's Lifetime Movie 'Liz & Dick' To Premiere November 25
"Lifetime announced Monday its new Lohan flick `Liz & Dick` will premiere Sunday, Nov. 25.
Lohan stars as Elizabeth Taylor in the flick about Taylor`s tumultuous affair and two marriages to Richard Burton, played by Grant Bowler who, Lifetime noted, is a graduate of the esteemed Australian drama school, NIDI but, really, who cares.
It`s Lohan`s `highly anticipated comeback movie role,` that has made `Liz & Dick` the most talked about movie of the year,` as Lifetime noted modestly in Monday`s scheduling announcement."
Sometimes A-List stars will deign to star in prestige films for HBO or Showtime, but no actress worth her salt will have anything to do with a Lifetime Network flick.
Lohan`s Lifetime movie is of interest only to cocaine dealers who are thrilled that now she will have enough money to spend on coke.
The bar has been set almost as low as limbo bar for Lohan, what a joke to call a Lifetime Movie a "comeback."
Lohan`s Lifetime movie should premiere on Thanksgiving Day, because it`s destined to be the biggest turkey of the year.

A pattern process in San Francisco confirmed glyphosate-critics: The weed killer from Monsanto is to blame for the lymph glands cancer of the plaintiff. The verdict fueled the discussion of whether glyphosate should be banished from Fields and gardens.
Normally, court processes and judgments in the United States have no meaning for the people in this country. Thus, a Federal district court in San Francisco is busy, however, represents an exception. At the Golden Gate Avenue is negotiated, whether or not glyphosate is a cause of Cancer. The verdict could change the future assessment of the Weed killer. The discussion splits today physicians and health policy makers in Germany.
30 years of glyphosate – Edwin Hardman’s cancer?
The 70-year-old Edwin Hardeman from Santa Rosa had sprayed his large plot for almost 30 years regularly and intensively with “Roundup”, the globally distributed weed killer Monsanto. The most effective herbicide in the agricultural industry as popular as in the case of hobby gardeners. Meanwhile, Monsanto is feared-invention from the ‘ 70s, but also because the active ingredient glyphosate, a cancer lurks risk.
Whether it is dangerous to humans, is debated among scientists. The Californians Edwin Hardeman is convinced that glyphosate is to blame for his cancer of the lymph nodes. He wants Monsanto assumes the responsibility – or the German chemical group Bayer has bought the seed producers from St. Louis, Missouri, in the summer of 2016 for 55 billion.
Jury convinced that glyphosate is “an essential factor for lymph node cancer of the Edwin Hardeman”
A six-member Jury in San Francisco unanimously came to the conclusion that the active ingredient glyphosate, “an essential factor for the lymph glands is cancer of the Edwin Hardeman”.
The plaintiff now has a good chance on a multi-million dollar compensation and Bayer bad cards, out of the thing with a blue eye.
More than 11,000 lawsuits – that will be expensive for the Bayer subsidiary
For Bayer, the case Hardeman is so explosive, because he is one of a plurality of Patterns, and thus the direction of for additional upcoming processes. Across the USA 9000 of similar cases should be pending. Until the end of January Monsanto over 11,000 complaints were.
Take the case of Dewayne Johnson in the summer of 2018 as a benchmark, to come on Bayer’s subsidiary company, Monsanto billion in receivables. The former janitor of a California school, a court had reduced to $ 289 million, and later to 78 million for Pain and suffering, and compensation awarded: 25 years of green care with “Roundup” would have led to his cancer of the lymph nodes, Monsanto would not have been adequately warned of in front of it. Reuters/Josh Edelson , The plaintiff in the first glyphosate-process, Dewayne Johnson
No cancer by glyphosate – the chemical insists group
The manufacturer of the Weed killer saw and sees no need to. Monsanto and Bayer are convinced according to his own statements, that glyphosate causes cancer.
Actually, the exact causes for Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas are still not clear, as the two previous applicants. There is a risk factors, primarily viral infections, such as with the Epstein-Barr or HIV and other immunodeficiency diseases.
Monsanto held studies or risks concealed?
Important for the accusation to glyphosate: various chemical substances, can promote the emergence of a Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In addition to organic solvents, which are widely used in industry, wearing killers and the common way of dealing with Weeds, or in the case of glands insecticides in agriculture an increased risk for lymphatic cancer.
The Jury in the California Federal court were sufficient and the Edwin Hardeman, to see a causal link between glyphosate in Monsanto’s “Roundup” and cancer. It is unclear how much of the sentiment against Monsanto played a role. The group is said to have held unpopular studies back and put pressure on scientists to be exercised. The Hardeman-defense had brought the contrary to the statement by judge Vince Chhabria in the process.

In principle, carcinogenic – but it is also dangerous for people?
In General, the reviews of the health risks of glyphosate are inconsistent, even in Europe, even in Germany:
Although the world health organization (WHO), glyphosate 2015, as a “likely carcinogen” had been classified, approved by the EU in the 2017 a registration of the substance for a further five years. The European food safety authority, Efsa did not want to follow the WHO.
The Argument of the glyphosate-supporters: The cancer Agency of the WHO had assessed the fundamental ability of glyphosate to cancer. This does not mean that the amount of the people in case of proper application in contact, would be sufficient, causing cancer.
WHO against Efsa and the EU court of first instance against Efsa
What is it that makes the glyphosate-opponents are skeptical: The Efsa did not want to make your positive judgment, all studies on glyphosate to the public. An EU court judgment from the beginning of March has just said that the authority now.
Glyphosate promotes the bees are dying
Glyphosate is also often brought to die in connection with the Insects. There is no clear evidence. It is obvious, however, that the conventional agriculture with the use of pesticides to bees and other insects, also birds, removes the basis for life.

Shape of combustion chamber plays a major role in controlling combustion process and emission characteristics occurring inside internal combustion engines in general and diesel engines in particular. To optimize a combustion chamber for diesel engine applications, suitable design modifications are required that meet both emission norms as well as acceptable engine performance. In this context, experimental investigations were carried out on a single cylinder four stroke direct injection diesel engine operated in single fuel mode using Mahua oil methyl ester (MhOME) and neem oil methyl ester (NOME). Different combustion chamber shapes were designed and fabricated keeping the compression ratio same for the existing diesel engine. The existing engine was provided with hemispherical combustion chamber (HCC) shape. In order to study the effect of other combustion chamber shapes on the performance of diesel engine, cylindrical (CCC), trapezoidal (TrCC), and toroidal combustion chamber (TCC) shapes were designed and developed. Various engine parameters such as power, torque, fuel consumption, and exhaust temperature, combustion parameters such as heat release rate, ignition delay, combustion duration, and exhaust emissions such as smoke opacity, hydrocarbon, CO, and NOx, were measured. Results revealed that the TCC shape resulted in overall improved performance with reduced emission levels compared to other shapes tested. Total hydrocarbon emission (THC) and carbon monoxide (CO) were also decreased significantly compared to other combustion chambers.

Buffalo Bills players read mean tweets about themselves and get crushed
Football players get bullied too.
It's no secret that people on the Internet can be pretty brutal, as seen on many of Jimmy Kimmel's 'Mean Tweets' segments before. So the Buffalo Bills decided to have a little fun with their haters by recreating the hit segments in their own hilarious way.
Rex Ryan laughed, Sammy Watkins looked tortured and Richie Incognito, well, he agreed. But all of them handled their aggressors nicely.

Antique furniture is hard to find and most times you’re duped into buying furniture that’s not worth your money and troubles.
But worry no more the amazing people at The White Elephant Trading Co. got you covered. They have delightful pieces that fill your heart with so much joy. I got to talk to Chris Payne and this is what he had to say.
1) What is the White Elephant trading company and how did it all begin?
White Elephant imports and antique & vintage furniture & accessories from Europe and lovingly restores them here in Nairobi.
As an interior designer of 10 years I became increasingly frustrated with the lack of any unique / antique pieces of furniture available on the market. The only shop in Nairobi selling “antiques” was Amazing Bazaar of Odds and Ends and all their furniture comes from India. I couldn’t see anything European available in the local market and so began buying up odd pieces of furniture from countryside auction houses in the UK for our projects. Through our network of skilled craftsmen in Nairobi we were able to completely restore pieces that were worn out and unwanted. Once here we’re able to sand, polish,repair, re-stuff & re-upholster these beautiful old pieces making them new again.
We finally decided to bring in a container of furniture and have a sale at my home here in Karen. We sold out in 4 hours. So we had another, then another….and finally we decided to start up White Elephant as an on line store in July last year. We decided to be on-line because it’s so much easier for our customers to follow what is newly out of the workshop. Our collection constantly changes – and we never stop uploading new pieces. Once it’s sold -that’s it! We’re unlikely ever to find the same thing twice. Having all of this on-line is so much easier than having a shop. Clients can easily reserve pieces on the website and come over to look at the piece in person when it’s convenient.
F&B: You are passionate about antique furniture. Kindly tell us more about it .
An old piece of furniture has history. It’s been touched by hands over (sometimes) hundreds of years and this gives them a completely different energy to newly made furniture. In addition to this, the craftsmanship of these pieces is beautiful – as are the lovely woods made to manufacture them – English pine, oak, elm, walnut, mahogany, & cherry to name a few.
We also strongly believe that giving this furniture new life – to last say another 100 years – is helping to save the planet. Our resources are dwindling and up-cycling furniture is helping, in a small way, to save our environment. It takes 16 x the carbon emissions to create a new chest of drawers (for instance) than to buy an vintage one.
There is such a HUGE variety of antique furniture out there! Every time we go on a sourcing trip we find new and amazing pieces. As a designer this is a complete joy – to be endlessly surprised as to what I will find. Then my great challenge is how to re-love it. Paint it? Distress it? Just take it back to it’s original wood? Upholster it in velvet, cotton, linen, vintage West African Ewe, Asoke, Nupe or Turkish Embroidered Suzani, Hungarian sack cloth, Egyptian silk….the list is endless and each and every piece speaks to me in a different way.
F&B: You hosted the special collection exhibition on the 28-29th last month. What was the purpose of that?
To showcase our furniture to a new market. The company is young and we need to try and take our product to different areas of Nairobi for people to experience first hand what we do.
F&B: How was it received?
Fantastic. Everyone who came really loved what we do – and were pleasantly surprised by how reasonable our furniture is.
F&B: Parting shot?
When buying we try and create collections that have huge variety both in terms of style and price. From something as small as a candlestick to grand dining room tables we really hope that there’s something for everyone!
F&B: There you have it guys, Antique furniture is for everyone, you just have to find what speaks to you.
