The present invention is related generally to control circuits for radio frequency (RF) signal power amplifiers, and more particularly to improved automatic power output control circuitry for RF signal power amplifiers having a wide dynamic range.
Generally, radio frequency power amplifiers are operated at one output power level, and such power amplifiers are adjusted during manufacture to the desired output power level. In some applications, it has been desirable to have two power levels, a high and a low level. The RF signal power amplifier for such applications would have one setting for the high power level and another for the low power level. In many instances, these power amplifiers have control circuitry which prevents an excess of high applied voltage from the power supply, a large antenna mismatch, or an extreme of environment from destroying the active devices which comprise the power amplifier.
Recently, it has become advantageous to reuse radio channels in some radio communications systems. In order to avoid interference between two RF signal power amplifiers using the same frequency, it is desirable to have many different selectable output power levels, one of which is chosen for optimum communication efficiency of each RF signal power amplifier with a minimum of interference to other power amplifiers. For example, four power levels are available in the RF signal power amplifier employed in the mobile radio telephone described in Motorola instruction manual no. 68P81039E25, entitled "Advanced Mobile Phone System", and published by Motorola Service Publications, 1301 E. Algonquin Road, Schaumburg, Ill. 1979. The four power levels produced therein are achieved by varying reference voltage which is applied to an automatic output control circuit.
Additionally, RF power amplifier having eight power levels and an associated power control circuit has been disclosed in U.S. patent application No. 491,499 filed in behalf of Walczak et al. on May 4, 1983 and assigned to the assignee of the present invention. Since the absolute level of each of the eight power levels employed therein must be maintained relatively constant, the control circuitry must be temperature compensated to prevent drift of the power level of each power level over extremes of temperature. This temperature compensation has been achieved by the use of separate and discrete temperature compensating elements which add to the complexity of the control circuit.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved automatic output control circuit for an RF signal power amplifier which accurately maintains a selected power output over a wide range of RF signal frequencies and temperatures without the added complexity of a temperature compensation network.
It is a further object of the present invention to enable selection of one of a plurality of power output levels in response to control signals.
Accordingly, the present invention of an automatic output control circuitry achieves these objectives. The present invention controls the magnitude of an RF signal amplified by an amplifier having a variable output. A sample of the RF signal is obtained and nonlinearly amplified before being employed by a power magnitude signal generator to generate a power magnitude signal related to the amplified RF signal. The power magnitude signal is adjusted by an adjustment factor selected by the control signals and the variable output amplifier is varied in response to the adjusted power magnitude signal to produce a corresponding RF signal output magnitude.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the automatic control circuitry, the final amplifiers, and the coupling therebetween.

FIG. 5 is a detailed schematic diagram of the automatic output control circuitry employed in the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is illustrated an RF signal power amplifier which may advantageously utilize automatic output control (AOC) circuitry. An RF signal power amplifier is typically part of a radio transmitter, such as that described in the aforementioned instruction manual no. 68P81039E25, that includes an RF signal power amplifier for amplifying a modulated RF signal which is radiated by an antenna. The RF signal power amplifier in FIG. 1 includes two cascaded blocks of amplification, drivers 102, and final amplifiers 104. The output of final amplifier 104 is coupled via isolator 106 and filter 108 to antenna 110. The output power level developed by final amplifiers 104 is proportional to the drive current applied by AOC circuit 112 thereto and may amplify an input modulated RF signal from approximately 1/4th watt to 5 or more watts.
AOC circuitry 112 in FIG. 1 determines the magnitude of the RF signal from final amplifiers 104 and varies the drive current applied to final amplifiers 104 for maintaining the magnitude of the final amplifier output at one of several predetermined magnitudes selected by a plurality of AOC signals. In the preferred embodiment, three AOC signals are used to select one of eight different output power levels ranging from 8 milliwatts to 5 watts, a dynamic range of 28 dB. The AOC circuitry of the present invention accurately controls the output power level over a wide range of RF signal frequencies and over the commercial environmental range.
In FIG. 2, further detail of the block diagrams of the final amplifiers 104 and automatic output control circuitry 112 are revealed. In the preferred embodiment, final amplifiers 104 comprise three solid state active devices in a conventional RF configuration. The gain of the first final amplifier 201 is conventionally a function of the applied supply current. The amplified RF signal is then applied to final driver 202 and then to final amplifier 203 which applies a fixed gain to the variable output of final 201 thereby generating the RF output power for the final amplifier 104.
A sample of the RF output from final amplifier 104 is derived by coupling capacitor 205 and the sample signal, which may have a signal magnitude 12 dB less than the magnitude of the RF output magnitude, is coupled to automatic output control circuitry 112. (Coupling may be achieved by other means, such as a directional coupler or energy field probe, and the method used need not limit the scope of the present invention).
The automatic output control circuitry 112 consists primarily of the three functions shown in block diagram form in FIG. 2. The sample signal is applied to amplifier 207 (which in the preferred embodiment is a logarithmic amplifier) which provides a nonlinear gain function such that low level magnitudes of the sample signal are amplified more than high level sample signals. Thus, the output of amplifier 207 provides an output which is logarithmically related to the magnitude of the input sample signal thereby providing a compression of the dynamic range of the sample signal. The detector 209 is thus presented with an amplified sample signal having a compressed dynamic range. It should be noted that the function of logarithmic amplifier 207 may be achieved by other signal compression means and the invention described herein is not limited thereto.
The detector 209 converts the amplified and compressed sample signal to a direct current signal representative of the RF power output which can be termed a power magnitude signal. The power magnitude signal is coupled to a level controller 211 which employs the power magnitude signal and AOC control signals to produce the current control signal applied to amplifier 201 to control its gain.
A detailed circuit schematic for amplifier 207 and detector 209 is shown in FIG. 3. Logarithmic amplifier 207, is realized using two transistors 301 and 303 in a differential pair configuration. In the preferred embodiment, these transistors are a MMBR901 available from Motorola, Inc., but may be equivalent transistors which are compatible with the frequency of operation. The sample signal is input to the base of transistor 301 and the logarithmically amplified sample is differentially output from the collectors of transistors 301 and 303. Base bias is supplied to the differential pair transistor 301 and 303 from Vref via resistors 305 and 307, respectively. Collector supply is via resistors 309 and 311. Current source 313 stablizes the amplifier and may be a resistor or a transistor arranged in current source configuration. Detector 209 is a differential pair full-wave rectifier comprising transistors 315 and 317 (which may also be MMBR901 transistors). The full-wave rectifier of transistors 315 and 317 is stablized by current source 319 and the direct current produced by the rectified sample signal is filtered by resistor 321 and capacitor 323 to become the output power magnitude signal. The dynamic range compression available from amplifier 207 enables the operation of full wave rectifier 209 in a range which eliminates the need for specific temperature compensation circuits.
Amplifier 207 may be modified as shown in FIG. 4 for operation at high RF frequencies. This modification requires the addition of reactive elements for RF bias as shown. Inductors 401 and 403 and capacitors 405 and 407 in the collectors of transistors 301 and 303 provide conventional RF signal blocking. Additionally, inductors 409 and 411 provide RF signal block for the base reference voltage. These reactive elements may further be realized by transmission line techniques if desired by the designer.
A detailed schematic of the automatic output control circuitry of the present invention is shown in FIG. 5. Here, the amplified RF signal is coupled to logarithmic amplifier 207 by a directional coupler 500. The logarithmic amplifier 207 and the detector 209 employ transistors as current sources 313 and 319. The current bias for the current sources is developed by transistor 501 and applied to the base of transistors 313 and 319. (These transistors may be any general purpose NPN silicon transistor such as a 2N3904). Supply for transistor 501 is through resistor 503. Inherent in the design of a differential amplifier with any current source is a natural shift in DC current with temperature. This DC current shift may be advantageously used to partially correct any effect of temperature on detector 209. For the preferred embodiment of FIG. 5, for example, if resistor 503 were selected to be a value of 2,400 ohms and resistors 309 and 311 were designed to 2,200 ohms each, the self correction with temperature is (0.5) (2,200/2,400) or 45.8%.
A detailed diagram of the AOC circuitry 112 is also shown in FIG. 5. Three AOC signals are coupled to analog multiplexer 505, which in the preferred embodiment is an MC14051 available from Motorola Inc., to select one of eight different resistors coupled to the X0 to X7 terminals of the analog multiplexer. Depending on the binary state of each of the AOC signals, one of the resistors is coupled through the analog multiplexer to ground. The selected resistor, working against resistors 507 and 321, forms an incrementally variable attenuator to attenuate the power magnitude signal by an amount equal to the ratio of the selected resistor and the series combination of resistors 507 and 321. AOC signals can be provided by a signal source such as the radio control circuitry described in the aforementioned instruction manual no. 68P81039E25.
The output of the variable attenuator is input to conventional operational amplifier 509. The operational amplifier is used as a comparator and controls the current amplifier 511 by way of base drive transistor 513. The drive current signal from current amplifier 511 is coupled to final amplifiers 104 for varying the power output of final amplifiers 104. The power output of final amplifier 104 is increased as the drive current signal increases, and vice versa.
The noninverting input of comparator 509 is coupled to a reference voltage provided by two resistors and variable resistor 515. During manufacture of the RF signal amplifier, variable resistor 515 is adjusted to enable the final amplifier 104 to provide the desired power output for the highest power level selection. Selection of other resistors by analog multiplexer 505 decrease the attenuation of the power magnitude signal thereby increasing the power magnitude signal available at the inverting input of comparator 509. In operation, the comparator 509 current control signal output varies the drive current signal from current amplifier 511 to maintain the magnitude of the attenuated power magnitude signal (at the inverting input of comparator 509) substantially the same as the magnitude of the reference voltage applied to the noninverting input. Because the magnitude signal has a compressed dynamic range, only the comparator op amp 509 is needed for level translation and the op amp 509 operates in a condition of continuously reducing its output signal.
The loop response time of AOC circuitry 112 is on the order of one millisecond. The loop turn-on time is primarily determined by the circuitry coupled to the base of transistor 513.
In summary, an improved automatic output control circuitry for a wide dynamic range RF signal power amplifier having a plurality of output power level steps has been described. The complexity and direct current amplification gain required for conventional RF power detection and control has been eliminated by the use of sample signal compression circuitry. The improved AOC circuitry of the present invention can be advantageously utilized in any suitable application where it is desired to accurately maintain the output of an RF power signal amplifier at a selected one of several output power levels. Therefore, while a particular embodiment of the present invention has been described and shown, it should be understood that the invention is not limited thereto since many modifications may be made by those skilled in the art. It is therefore contemplated to cover by the present application any and all modification that fall within the true spirit and scope of the basic underlying principles disclosed and claimed herein.

A report into the collapsed prosecution of six protesters accused of trying to shut down a power station has criticised Nottinghamshire police of 'collective failings'.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said the sharing and recording of information about an undercover police officer hadn't been well handled.
The IPCC also concluded that the actions of individual officers did NOT amount to police misconduct.

Translated by H. F. Cary With an introduction by Claire Honess. Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) is one of the most important and innovative figures of the European Middle Ages. Writing his Comedy (the epithet Divine was added by later admirers) in exile from his native Florence, he aimed to address a world gone astray both morally and politically. At the same time, he sought to push back the restrictive rules which traditionally governed writing in the Italian vernacular, to produce a radically new and all-encompassing work. The Comedy tells of the journey of a character who is at one and the same time both Dante himself and Everyman through the three realms of the Christian afterlife: Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. He presents a vision of the afterlife which is strikingly original in its conception, with a complex architecture and a coherent structure. On this journey Dante's protagonist - and his reader - meet characters who are variously noble, grotesque, beguiling, fearful, ridiculous, admirable, horrific and tender, and through them he is shown the consequences of sin, repentance and virtue, as he learns to avoid Hell and, through cleansing in Purgatory, to taste the joys of Heaven.

Officials report gunfire as unknown attackers battle security forces in Afghan capital
An explosion has hit the centre of the Afghan capital Kabul and unidentified attackers appear to have entered a multistorey building housing the communications ministry where they were battling security forces, officials have said.
Gunfire could be clearly heard by witnesses in Kabul on Saturday, but the area around the site was cordoned off by security forces.
The interior ministry spokesman, Nasrat Rahimi, confirmed there had been gunfire around the ministry of communications and information technology but provided no further details.
The attack followed several months of relative calm in Kabul, which coincided with talks between US and Taliban officials aimed at opening the way for formal peace negotiations to end more than 17 years of war in Afghanistan.
One security official, who declined to be identified by name, said the initial blast appeared to have been caused by a suicide bomb at the entrance to the ministry. There was no confirmation from Afghan police and no militant group has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.

To win in Christ is to Win in Life!
We are approaching the Day of Atonement. This has been God’s special day of connection with His people, every single year, for thousands of years. Yom Kippur 2020 will begin in the evening of Sunday, September 27 and ends in the evening of Monday, September 28
The time to Return to God and cleanse ourselves!
It is a time to Humble ourselves, call upon the name of the Lord and seek his face. Repent of our sins and consecrate our life to God. Resolve and determine to obey God . Ask the Holy Spirit to enable us to walk in that narrow and straight path of righteousness.
I believe this word will help us look more like Him.
I believe this message will help us ladies represent Christ well on earth.
James 1:26 (NLT) If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless.
Proverbs 13:3 (NLT) Those who control their tongue will have a long life;
opening your mouth can ruin everything.
Getting the tongue under control is one of the most difficult and important tasks in the Christian life. An uncontrolled tongue has the power to ruin a life.
According to James if our tongue is out of control, then our religion is worthless.
1 Corinthians 11:31 (AMP) But if we evaluated and judged ourselves honestly [recognizing our shortcomings and correcting our behavior], we would not be judged.
Characteristics of an Uncontrolled Tongue
Gossip: - casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.
Proverbs 16:28 (NLT) A troublemaker plants seeds of strife;gossip separates the best of friends.
Proverbs 20:19 (NIV) A gossip betrays a confidence;so avoid anyone who talks too much.
2. Recklessness: - lack of regard for the danger or consequences of one's actions
Proverbs 12:18 (NIV) The words of the reckless pierce like swords but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
Are your words reckless or wise? Do you usually hurt or heal?
3. Deceit: - the action or practice of deceiving someone by concealing or misrepresenting the truth.
Proverbs 15:4 (NIV) The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.
4. Lies: Proverbs 6:16-17 New International Version
There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
Proverbs 12:19 New International Version
Truthful lips endure forever,
but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
5. Flattery: - excessive and insincere praise, given especially to further one's own interests.
Proverbs 28:23 (NIV) Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favor rather than one who has a flattering tongue.
How to Tame Your Tongue:
1. Realize you are accountable to God for your words.
Matthew 12:36 (NIV) But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty/careless word they have spoken.
2. Dedicate your tongue to God.
Psalm 19:14 (NIV) May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
David realized that there was a connection between his words and his heart, so he prayed that God would be pleased with both.
3. Fill your heart with God’s word.
Matthew 12:34-35 (NIV) You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.
So what comes out our mouth is stored in us.
4. Listen before you speak.
James 1:19 (NIV) My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,
5. Speak words of grace and life.
Colossians 4:6 (NIV) Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Proverbs 18:21 (NIV) The tongue has the power of life and death,and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Injection molding is a manufacturing process accomplished by forcing raw, uncured rubber into a heated mold using a reciprocating screw. The material is formed and cured under heat and pressure, then removed to cool as a custom shape.
Compression molding uses a pre-measured amount of raw rubber material that is placed into a heated open lower mold cavity. The top cavity is then forced closed, causing the raw material to flow through the shape of the mold.
In transfer molding, rubber is measured, heated and forced into chamber. A plunger is used to force the material into the mold using a system of runners and channels to thoroughly fill the closed mold. The mold is heated to cure the raw material.

MOORHEAD, Minn. (5/29/18)---Head coach Terry Horan continues to add to his legacy as a top-tier recruiter. After consecutive 50-plus recruiting classes Horan announced the largest group in the history of the program.
Horan will have 55 fresh faces for the 2018 season as the class of 2022 is the largest in the history of the program. The incoming class is two larger than the 53 Horan brought to campus in 2016. Last year Concordia featured 50 first-year players.
"The tradition and academic strength of the college continues to draw large numbers of recruits to look at Concordia as a place to continue their athletic and intellectual growth," said Horan. "It is an exciting time for the program and the college as we continue to post quality incoming classes."
Concordia continued to excel in recruiting student/athletes from Minnesota and North Dakota. The Cobbers will have 42 first-year players from the two adjoining states.
"Local and area kids have always been the backbone of our recruiting classes," added Horan. "You look at the great teams we have had and the core of those teams are from Minnesota and North Dakota."
Concordia is coming off a year where they went 8-2 in all games and finished 6-2 in MIAC play. The eight wins mark the fourth time in the past six years that Concordia has eight victories in a single season. It is also the fifth time during that six-year stretch that CC has won six league games. The Cobbers are now 46-14 in all games in the last six seasons and 35-13 in conference games. Concordia finished in third place in the final league standings and has now posted a Top 3 MIAC finish in six straight seasons.
The record-setting number of recruits can be linked to the amount of student/athletes from outside the Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana and South Dakota area. The Cobbers have 11 recruits from non-traditional areas for Concordia. The incoming class will have four student/athletes from Arizona as well as two from Louisiana. CC will feature one student/aathlete from each of Colorado, Nevada, Texas and Washington as well as an international recruit from Canada.
"I am very excited about the way our numbers from outside the area has jumped up," Horan said. "The story of Concordia is starting to reach all over the country and that is in large part to our assistants who have done an incredible job of expanding our recruiting base."
A closer look at position breakdown of the 55 Cobber recruits shows that the offensive line and linebacker are the two most populated positions. By position group the class of 2022 includes 11 offensive lineman, 10 linebackers, nine wide receivers, seven defensive backs, five defensive lineman, four fullbacks, four running backs, three quarterbacks and two tight ends.
Concordia will have the same non-conference opponents to start the 2018 as they did in 2017 when they went 8-2 but the locations will be flipped. The Cobbers will host Neb. Wesleyan on Sept. 1 and then travel to Whitewater to play 6-time national champion Wis.-Whitewater on Sept. 8. CC downed the Prairie Wolves 34-14 in Lincoln and then recorded a 25-17 victory over Whitewater in the 2017 home opener.
The Cobbers will open play in the MIAC when they play at Augsburg on Saturday, Sept. 15.

I thought I had more time, but apparently the countdown to USDC, a.k.a. Nationals, has begun. Teacher comes to me at the beginning of our lesson on Wednesday and says “Ok! Two months to go! We need to schedule them! Double lesson on Friday! And then next week…!!” The man was pumped up! And he didn’t slow down once through the whole lesson as he whipped out brand new Viennese waltz and foxtrot silver routines, raced through showing me the steps while also coaching me on the arm styling and shaping, danced them once or twice with me, skipped across the studio to put music on to dance them to music, and then, with a big smile on his face, said “Perfect! How did that feel?”
Uuhh, not perfect. What was the first step again?

These six Queen Anne rowhouses arguably make up the most beautiful such row in the Mount Morris Park area. The stoops and first stories are clad in rough-cut and carved brownstone, while the upper stories are a textured mix of red brick and highly ornate red terra cotta. Architect Francis Kimball was known for his highly detailed use of terra cotta, and these buildings attest to his talents. Kimball also designed several skyscrapers in Lower Manhattan, including the landmarked Empire Building located at Rector Street and Broadway and the Corbin Building on John Street and Broadway. The West 122nd Street rowhouses are not in the existing historic district.

Top-line results from the Phase 3 study showed that patients treated with sotagliflozin had mean A1C reductions from baseline of 0.39% on 200mg once daily sotagliflozin dose (p<0.001) and 0.37% on 400mg once daily sotagliflozin dose (p<0.001) as compared to a reduction of 0.03% on placebo after 24 weeks of treatment, meeting the study’s primary endpoint. This statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in A1C for both doses of sotagliflozin was achieved with a favorable overall safety profile in the study, including rates of severe hypoglycemia similar to placebo and low overall rates of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
“These top-line results confirm the results we announced earlier this year from our first pivotal Phase 3 study of sotagliflozin,” said Lexicon president and chief executive officer, Lonnel Coats. “We are extremely pleased with the results in both of these Phase 3 studies and are enthusiastic about the potential benefits that sotagliflozin may bring to people with type 1 diabetes.”
“The inTandem2 study demonstrated a compelling safety and efficacy profile for sotagliflozin in adults living with type 1 diabetes,” said Thomas Danne, M.D., Head of the Center for Children Endocrinology and Diabetes at the Children’s Hospital on the Bult in Hannover, Germany and primary investigator for the inTandem2 clinical trial. “The potential to significantly lower A1C levels without an increase in hypoglycemia would represent a major shift in the treatment paradigm for type 1 diabetes.”
The double-blind, placebo controlled, Phase 3 study known as inTandem2 randomized 782 adult patients in Europe and Israel with type 1 diabetes on insulin pump or multiple daily injection therapy who had an A1C level entering the study between 7.0% and 11.0%. The three-arm study evaluated two doses of sotagliflozin, 200mg and 400mg, each taken once daily before the first meal of the day, against placebo. Prior to randomization, insulin was optimized for all patients over a six-week period, with the objective of improving glycemic control using insulin alone. After completion of this optimization period, patients were maintained on optimized insulin and randomized to one of two doses of sotagliflozin or placebo, and their baseline, post-optimization A1C was measured. The mean baseline A1C levels after the six-week optimization period were 7.80%, 7.74% and 7.71% for patients randomized to the placebo, 200mg and 400mg arms, respectively.
The primary endpoint of the study was change in A1C from baseline after a 24-week period of treatment. The trial has a double-blind long term extension of 28 weeks, with a total treatment duration of 52 weeks. There were 257 patients in the placebo arm, 261 patients in the 200mg dose arm and 263 patients in the 400mg dose arm. The overall mean placebo-adjusted A1C reduction at week 24 was 0.36% in the 200mg dose arm (p<0.001) and 0.35% in the 400mg dose arm (p<0.001).
Sotagliflozin was generally well tolerated. Across all three dose arms (placebo, 200mg, 400mg), the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) were 51.4%, 55.9% and 54.4%, respectively; the incidence of serious AEs (SAEs) were 3.5%, 4.2% and 4.2%, respectively; and discontinuation due to AEs were 1.6%, 1.9% and 3.0%, respectively. There were two deaths in the study in the placebo arm and no deaths in either sotagliflozin arm.
Two primary safety concerns for patients with type 1 diabetes are severe hypoglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The number of patients with severe hypoglycemic events during the 24-week treatment period was seven (2.7%), ten (3.8%), and six (2.3%) in the placebo, 200mg and 400mg dose arms, respectively. The number of patients with DKA events during the 24-week treatment period was none (0.0%), one (0.4%), and three (1.1%) in the placebo, 200mg and 400mg dose arms, respectively.
Lexicon is conducting a third Phase 3 clinical trial in type 1 diabetes patients, inTandem3, which is studying approximately 1,400 patients treated with sotagliflozin 400mg once daily or placebo on a background of any insulin therapy, but without insulin optimization prior to randomization. Sanofi is responsible for conducting the Phase 3 clinical trials for sotagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Discovered using Lexicon’s unique approach to gene science, sotagliflozin is a first-in-class, oral dual inhibitor of two proteins responsible for glucose regulation known as sodium-glucose co-transporter types 1 and 2 (SGLT1 and SGLT2). SGLT1 is the primary transporter for absorption of glucose and galactose in the gastrointestinal tract, and SGLT2 is primarily responsible for glucose reabsorption by the kidney. Sotagliflozin has been shown in a Phase 2 study to improve glycemic control in people with type 1 diabetes while reducing their need for mealtime insulin.
Lexicon entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Sanofi in November 2015 under which Lexicon granted Sanofi an exclusive, royalty-bearing right and license to develop, manufacture and commercialize sotagliflozin. Lexicon is responsible for all clinical development activities relating to type 1 diabetes and retains an exclusive option to co-promote and have a significant role, in collaboration with Sanofi, in the commercialization of sotagliflozin for the treatment of type 1 diabetes in the United States. Sanofi is responsible for all clinical development and commercialization of sotagliflozin for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in the licensed territory and is solely responsible for the commercialization of sotagliflozin for the treatment of type 1 diabetes outside the United States.

I have recently submitted a thesis for a masters of philosphy, entitled: The Design and Validation of assessment tools for use with Junior Doctors in Applying Clinical Pharmacology. Part of this work has been written up and will be published in the next edition (June 2010) of the peer reviewed academic journal British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology.
Entitled: The performance of junior doctors in applying clinical pharmacology knowledge and prescribing skills to standardised clinical cases. This paper builds on the fact that safe prescribing is a core competency in undergraduate medical education. That a large proportion of undergraduate medical students and recently graduated doctors in the UK are not confident in their ability to effectively and safely prescribe and that errors are common in all healthcare settings and prescribing errors are the most common type.
This study produced twelve valid and statistically reliable assessments of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (CPT) knowledge and prescribing skills in areas that pose a high risk to patient safety. The findings show that a large proportion of Foundation Year 1 (FY1) doctors fail to demonstrate the level of CPT knowledge and prescribing ability judged by a subject matter expert (SME) panel to be required at this stage of their careers. My co-authors (Prof Nicky Britten & Dr David Bristow) suggest strategies and areas where teaching can be focused to improve the safety and effectiveness of FY1 doctors’ prescribing.
If this is an area of interest then below is the abstract related to the article and a link to the journal.
Recent studies suggest a worryingly high proportion of final year medical students and new doctors feel unprepared for effective and safe prescribing. Little research has been undertaken on UK junior doctors to see if these perceptions translate into unsafe prescribing practice. We aimed to measure the performance of foundation year 1 (FY1) doctors in applying clinical pharmacology and therapeutics (CPT) knowledge and prescribing skills using standardised clinical cases.
A subject matter expert (SME) panel constructed a blueprint and from this twelve assessments focussing on areas posing high risk to patient safety and deemed as essential for FY1 doctors to know. Assessments comprised six Extended Matching Questions (EMQ) and six Written Unobserved Structured Clinical Examinations (WUSCE) covering seven CPT domains. Two of each assessment types were administered over three time points to 128 FY1 doctors.
The twelve assessments were valid and statistically reliable. Across seven CPT areas tested 51-75% of FY1 doctors failed EMQs and 27-70% failed WUSCEs. The WUSCEs showed three performance trends; 30% of FY1 doctors consistently performing poorly, 50% performing around the passing score, and 20% performing consistently well. Categorical rating of the WUSCEs revealed 5% (8/161) of scripts contained errors deemed as potentially lethal.
This study shows that a large proportion of FY1 doctors fail to demonstrate the level of CPT knowledge and prescribing ability required at this stage of their careers. We identify areas of performance weakness that pose high risk to patient safety and suggest ways to improve FY1 doctors’ prescribing.

Why: Water with lemon has amazing health benefits and also helps promote weight loss. Surprisingly, this simple incorporation of lemon water into our lifestyle will help our digestive system clean out toxins, internal waste, and can even boost our metabolism.
How: Lemon is a known natural antiseptic that reduces the possibility of infection, sepsis or putrefaction. The pioneer of natural herbal remedies, Jethro Kloss, in his book Back To Eden, pointed out that “Lemon is an antiseptic, or is an agent that prevents sepsis [the presence of pathogenic bacteria] or putrefaction [decomposition of tissue]. It is also anti-scorbutic, a term meaning a remedy which will prevent disease and assist in cleansing the system of impurities.”
Lemon is also rich in Vitamin C, which will help boost our immune system and provides strength to the liver enzymes, which allows us to rid our body of toxins.
Fashionistas let’s take this water with lemon challenge with First Class Fashionista and work towards detoxifying our bodies while promoting weight loss.

staying motivated... even when the scale isn't moving
Saturday, April 06, 2013
i am well aware that plateaus exist, but until now i had been fortunate enough to never encounter one... but apparently my lucky streak is over. in the past, if i was eating in my spark calorie ranges and exercising regularly my weight would go down. ALWAYS. this past month, as i've adjusted my goals to include very serious fitness achievements (a 10K race at the end of april, another in june, and a half marathon in october), i expected the weight to drop off faster than ever. i am up to running over 20 miles a week, plus cross training, plus the regular active life i lead. so it came as a very unpleasant surprise to me to see that even though i am burning more calories than i ever had, and eating in my recommended calorie range at least 6 of every 7 days, my weight hasn't gone down at all... in fact, it even had the audacity to go UP briefly!!!
now the obvious conclusion could be that i'm gaining muscle mass, which is 3 times as heavy as body fat, but i don't think this is the case. hoping to be proved wrong, i busted out my giant rubbermaid bin of my 'skinny clothes' (stuff that started to fit me the last 2 times i was at the 220 lb mark, size 16 and 14), only to find that very little of it fit :(
i am trying very hard to focus on the fact that my fitness is improving and we are eating healthier as a family, and all those other positive things, but i would be lying if i didn't admit that it is VERY, VERY demotivating to not see the scale go down as a reward for all of my hard work

We Have Made It Nonetheless
It is all over and President Akufo-Addo has been sworn in alongside Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia for another four-year term at the helm.
The event, colourful and significant as it was yesterday, came against the backdrop of threats by some political killjoys to abort it.
Audios were disseminated on social media intended to send fear among Ghanaians about a pending bloodshed to dwarf the occasion. This regrettably has brought to the fore the crazy investment made towards creating an atmosphere of instability in the country.
We have as a nation learnt lessons from the events leading to yesterday's activity and the occurrences it attracted in the House of Parliament.
Some developments which occurred yesterday although nasty and avoidable have unfortunately been recorded in the annals of the country.
It is unfortunate that the other side of the House refused to take part in the ceremony, a national activity. We would have expected them to join in the constitutional procedure as they await the outcome of the adjudication on the case they lodged with the Supreme Court.
With a House near even in terms of numbers, it behooves members who cherish more the growth of this country than winning the next elections to work together to push forward the Ghana agenda.
It is our hope that sense will dawn upon the sulking MPs and they will review their opprobrious action which under the circumstances is incompatible with their promise to their constituents to serve as their representatives in the august House.
We are encouraged by some important highlights of the President's inaugural speech in Parliament, which we urge the deserters to embrace for national development and growth.
Of particular importance is his call on Ghanaians to be up and doing.
The task of nation-building is a shared responsibility to be borne by both the government and the governed.
For the people to be up and doing, they must understand the policies being laid out by government.
The missing link between policies and their comprehension by the people is responsible for the challenges faced by such projects in some instances.
We encourage government to consider as a matter of urgency the incorporation of education of the public about policies which are by and large intended to better their living conditions.
While the benefits of some policies are unconcealed as in the case of the free SHS, others need explanation for comprehension, acceptance and support.
The sincerity of President Akufo-Addo attribute, which other politicians lack and therefore giving politics a negative image, is what stands him apart from others.
It is on this score that his promise of addressing the infrastructure deficit facing the country is a matter of excitement.
All said and digested, a constitutional requirement of an election and inauguration have both been accomplished and Ghana's democracy has been enriched.

Hi, I’m Margaret. You can find me on a tractor plowing the garden, repairing a barbed wire fence, or spreading hay for the livestock. But the most fun is sitting in front of the computer drawing!
I’m an artist interested primarily in graphic design and illustration. During my tenure at a college teaching graphic communication, I also established several websites, which allowed me to pursue different areas of interest within the confines of graphic illustration.
If you visit our patterns2quilt.com site, you’ll find over 40 applique quilt patterns. Our site, chiseledincloth.com is the place to find portrait quilts, and digiditto.margaretbucklew.com is the site for digital stamps and clip art.
We also have several children’s books and quilt books on Amazon.com.
For a little more insight into my background, you might read my post, A Quilter’s Introduction to Country Life.
BTW, that’s not really me, but a caricature I drew of the “wannabe” me. 🙂

The growing prominence of ad blocking is proving a major headache for online publishers that rely on advertising to finance their businesses. And with every new person that downloads an ad blocking software, the problem only becomes bigger.
Well, Swedish publishers may have found a means by which to stop the software from undermining their ability to sell ads—and it comes in the shape of teamwork.
Around 90 percent of the digital publishers in Sweden have banded together to block Adblock users from using their sites.
This practice is not unusual, with several publishers across the globe already blocking users who have adblocking software activated. However, when individual publishers take this leap, they risk losing the reader or viewer to a competing site.
By forming a united front spearheaded by the IAB of Sweden, publishers in the country make it virtually impossible for local readers to gain access to local content while their ad blocking software is active.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that for publishers to take on major digital challenges, they need to collaborate.
Locally, we’ve also seen this trend in the formation of KPEX—through a partnership between Fairfax Media, MediaWorks, NZME and TVNZ—in a bid to tap into the lucrative programmatic market that’s currently being dominated by Google.
It now seems that for the local publishers to win the battle against ad blockers, they will again have to sit together and develop a collaborative defence strategy.

Our past always runs with us
We know and recognize things because we remember them. Without memory we would have a hard time finding our way in the world.
You could say that we mainly live in a “remembered present”, to use a familiar phrase from Gerald Edelman. In psychotherapy you therefore always work with things from the past: emotions, beliefs, body sensations and behaviour that are reactivated in the here and now. All therapy considered in this way is regression therapy.
Regression” literally means “going back”. In the context of psychotherapy we mean by this that someone relapses in behaviour and functioning. This compared to what you would normally expect from her/him. A person reverts to behaviour from an earlier period in her/his life, usually childhood. A brief example to illustrate: an employee who performs excellently in her work does not get out of her words during a performance interview. She feels insecure, nervous and confused. People don’t know her like that. During this conversation her behaviour is very different than expected. The competent employee seems to have turned into an insecure and nervous child. In this case you can think of regressive behaviour.
Regression therapy is very suitable if you respond “out of context”, that is, if your behaviour, your emotions and thoughts are very different from what would normally be logical and appropriate in the situation in question. In everyday terms, we speak in this case of an overreaction. Your behaviour, emotions and your physical response then lack a logical connection with the stimulus (also called trigger) that activates you. Often you know that it is an old kind of feeling and behaviour, something you have experienced much longer and more often. We consider these kinds of overreactions in our psychotherapeutic work as involuntary trances, also called natural trances.
Usually, with an “out of context” response the whole person is in an uproar. We explore all responses with the client. For example, in a regression therapy session we first look at the situation and context in which you showed the regressive behaviour, and we investigate the possible triggers that triggered this behaviour and how you reacted to it. We then pay attention to what you do, what you experience in your body and how it makes you feel. Obstructing beliefs and self-judgments also often come to surface.
Consciously “regress” to let an involuntary, natural trance dissolve
The above reactions, the mental, emotional and physical reactions of the client, are the building blocks of a session. With all of these responses we build a “bridge” between the “out of context” experience of the here-and-now and underlying memories of there-and-then, earlier in the client’s life. By focusing your attention on this, the involuntary, natural trance is deepened. This way memories from past situations can be activated and you can see situations again or relive feelings from there and then. With the conscious attention of the here-and-now you can process old feelings, let go of pent-up tension and pain, and revise old judgments about yourself. This conscious attention and feeling the connection with your adult capacities and insights, together with the safe guidance of the therapist, ensure that you can distance yourself from the traumatic experiences.
This method appears to be very suitable for processing traumatic experiences and PTSD. Traumatic events are often unexpected, overwhelming and therefore confusing. Your body experiences everything, but your conscious mind is not able to register everything clearly. That is why traumatic memories are often unconscious and implicit: the sensory impressions, emotions and body sensations are registered unconsciously. The conclusions, judgments or generalizations that you have ever drawn from this loaded or confusing situation have also arisen unconsciously.
The explicit, conscious, memory storage is completely or partially blocked. According to neurological researchers, the hippocampus (part of your brain, responsible for your sense of self and time) is completely or partially turned off during a traumatic situation due to an overload of adrenaline or cortisol in your body.
Working with emotions, body feelings, mental conclusions and beliefs
During a regression session we first pay attention to what you have carried with you physically and emotionally, you make contact with it and feel it. This gives your emotions and your body an opportunity to express or complete those things that were inhibited or blocked at the time of the traumatic experience. This has a beneficial effect. You “shake” the traumatic experience out of your body, as it were.
We also track down the limiting beliefs that you have taken with you as conclusions from the loaded situation and you develop healthier beliefs for the here-and-now. This generally happens in the integration phase of a session in which you as a client look with adult eyes at what you experienced as a child.
Integration in your memory and with your life story
An important beneficial effect of regression therapy is memory integration. We store our experiences in different layers of our memory:
- The first layer, implicit memory, begins in the womb and is dominant during the early years of life. This part of your memory is also dominant during traumatic experiences as a result of the (partial) shutdown of the hippocampus.
- Later in life you acquire an explicit memory, where factual and autobiographical information is available.
Memory integration comes about because you gain more insight into the implicit puzzle pieces from the past. If these can become explicit and you therefore know them, you are able to live more in the present and you can make choices about how you want to live your life.
In a broader sense, regression therapy can contribute to narrative integration. We speak of “narrative integration” when you can consistently tell your own life story. We also derive this term from the more neurologically oriented view of psychotherapy. We gain insight into the meaning of our life by connecting the storyteller of our left hemisphere with the storage of autobiographical memories on the right. More information? Click here!
