Texas is an increasingly attractive target for cybercriminals across the globe with its 28 million residents and target-rich environment of energy, technology and hospitality companies.
The state, in fact, suffered the highest number of malware attacks in the U.S. during the first quarter of last year, according to data released in June from security firm Malwarebytes. While that fact may not have been known, it certainly wasn’t lost on the patients of San Antonio women’s medical practices Northeast OB/GYN Associates and the Institute for Women’s Health. They received the startling news in August that hackers may have stolen some of their personal information or credit or debit card data.
The San Antonio obstetrics practices, both under the same parent company Consultants in Women’s Health, said a so-called keylogger virus was installed on their networks on June 5. The virus was discovered July 6 and the practices took action to remove it “from the majority of all network computers and terminal servers by July 11, 2017, resolving it completely by July 13, 2017,” both said in statements at the time.
It’s a growing problem for big and small companies alike as hackers grow more and more brazen — and skilled at their jobs. It’s particularly challenging for smaller businesses that don’t have a dedicated staff or big enough IT budget to guard against attacks. The increasing threat has given rise to the need for cyber insurance for small companies — a type of protection once reserved for big corporations with significant IT budgets.
“Cyberattacks oftentimes have severe consequences for small businesses, including in many cases precipitating bankruptcy, just due to some of the lack of resources,” said Patrick Thielen, senior vice president of financial lines at Chubb Limited, which offers cyber insurance.
Only about 40 percent of medium- and small-sized companies buy the coverage, according to a report released in November by Argo Group International Holdings Ltd., a Bermuda-based underwriter of specialty insurance and reinsurance products that has a large presence in San Antonio.
Employees at both Northeast OB/GYN and the Institute for Women’s Health said Thursday in nearly identical emailed statements that their practices had cyber liability insurance in place before the incident, and continue to carry such coverage. While cyber insurance policies differ, they generally cover lost revenue as well as the cost of recovering data from an attack.
“This kind of insurance should be considered as part of any business plan in this day and age,” wrote Nancy Villa, IT director for the Institute.
Both practices also said they had security measures in place, such as “network filtering and security monitoring, firewalls, antivirus software and password protection” prior to the attack, but implemented additional safeguards after the keylogger virus infiltrated their system.
Large companies like Equifax, which suffered a massive data breach that exposed sensitive data on almost half of all U.S. consumers in July, are constantly at risk for cyberattacks. The WannaCry ransomware attack, which has been blamed on North Korea, took down computers at organizations of all sizes from Russia to Taiwan in May. But smaller companies, especially those in Texas, are increasingly attractive targets for hackers, according to a June report published for the first quarter of 2017 by the security firm Malwarebytes.
Texas consumers and businesses reported losing about $77.1 million to internet criminals in 2016, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s annual Internet Crime Complaint Center report released earlier in 2017. More than $4.5 million was lost that year in the state just to corporate data breaches, according to that report.
“Texas is a primary hotbed for malware activity,” Malwarebytes warns, with its combination of a large population, highly-targeted industries and sheer number of malware incidents.
Argo Group, which surveyed 200 organizations in the U.S. and U.K. in September, found that a little more than 60 percent of the small- and medium-sized organizations experienced some kind of cyber incident in the last 12 months.
The women’s practices aren’t the only local companies that have recently been hit. Medical office Seguin Dermatology said in 2016 that hackers accessed their confidential patient data, including their names, social security numbers and billing codes for medical services.
Cybercriminals installed ransomware on the medical office’s computer system in Sept. 2016. While the ransomware — which locks computer files until a ransom is paid — was removed, it wasn’t before hackers walked away with some sensitive data, owner Dr. Robert Magnon said at the time. Magnon declined to comment last week.
While a large company may be seen as “more of a target for the hacking community,” due to the large amounts of data they collect, it doesn’t mean small businesses are safe from cyber criminals, said Simon White, senior vice president of cyber for Argo Group, which offers the coverage.
“A lot of these hackers want to potentially get to the larger insureds via infiltrating a smaller business,” White said. “So for example, a vendor’s got a relationship with a large national entity, and the hackers think: well we can actually utilize the lack of security on the smaller firm side to get to the larger.”
To further complicate the issue, small businesses aren’t investing as many resources to secure their business against attacks, White said.
Brett Piatt, CEO of San Antonio data security firm Jungle Disk, said that can make it difficult for small businesses to qualify for cyber insurance.
“It’s really complicated to go through the underwriting process right now to fill out an application. And then when you fill out an application, a lot of them get rejected because they’re not doing the technical things that they need to be doing in order to be able to be insurable,” Piatt said.
When a small business tries to start the process to get cyber insurance, they are sent a questionnaire anywhere from 10 to 25 pages long where they are expected to explain their “IT processes, controls and systems,” Piatt said.
“Small businesses don’t have answers to all of these questions,” Piatt said. “And if they go through and get a consultant to come in and help them answer all of these, then they basically end up with a risk profile where the insurer basically says I can’t underwrite insurance for you until you go do all of these things you’re not doing.”
He used an analogy of running a restaurant and having slippery floors because they are covered with castor oil.
“Your general liability insurance person is going to be like, you need to clean that up or I’m not going to insure you for slip and fall. And a lot of small businesses are running their IT in that way,” Piatt said.
Andrew Kellett, an analyst at digital research and consulting firm Ovum, said small businesses increasingly need cyber insurance to protect themselves from both financial and regulatory damages.
“I think it’s still reasonably early days, especially when you’re looking at the smaller end of the marketplace, because those sorts of organizations are probably just starting to look at the costs and the budget issues that would be involved in doing something like that,” Kellett said. “In terms of do they need to do it, yes they probably do need to do it for a number of reasons, for their protection when things go wrong, for the regulatory issues that probably will start to push back.”
Kellett wrote a white paper commissioned by FICO last year that looked at businesses’ cyber readiness.
“One thing that came back from the company side of things was that only a small percentage believe that the cyber risk insurance industry was clear and transparent in its approach to gathering information, pricing and the structure of the offer,” Kellett said.
Thielen said Chubb has been doing a variety of things to streamline the underwriting process for small business owners.
“Within the past couple of years Chubb has launched a small commercial insurance division through which we provide all kinds of insurance products, but one of them is that we’ve made available to small businesses the same robust set of cyber protections that we’ve been providing to large enterprises for about two decades,” Thielen said.
In the early days cyber insurance customers tended to be “larger, more complex risks,” he said, which meant the underwriting that went into the policy may have been very detailed.
A 20-page application that “asks a lot of technical questions about IT security controls is not a realistic way to transact business,” Thielen said. “And so we really try to scale all our transactional process including the application, the number of questions we’re going to ask, the requirements that we might have from an underwriting perspective, all of that stuff should be scalable depending on the industry, the size of risk you are.”
Whatever kind of experience small business owners might have had five to ten years ago, if they pick up the phone today, Thielen said they will be “pleasantly surprised” by how approachable cyber insurance has become.
According to Argo Group’s report, small- and medium-sized businesses don’t buy cyber insurance for three main reasons: “that they believe their in-house security is adequate, they think insurance is too expensive and there is a lack of interest by senior management or the board of directors.”
David Dilling, who owns San Antonio filter manufacturing company Filtration Products and online home filter delivery service Filters4Air, said he hasn’t secured a cyber insurance policy because the company uses a third-party vendor to process credit card information.
“We don’t want our people liable for handling credit card numbers and sensitive information,” Dilling said, later adding, “People hacking and getting credit cards, and the Target problems would just give you a headache. And plus since we’re an online company we can’t afford to have a problem like that, especially just starting out a year and a half ago.”
The company uses Authorize.Net for credit card transactions, a product owned by CyberSource Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Visa.
Two of Filters4Air’s 10 employees work on the company’s IT system, but are not full-time, Dilling said.
“I think it’s becoming more and more important all the time,” Dilling said of having IT professionals on the payroll. “And yes, it’s very expensive for small businesses to get into. And so I think it’s critical for us, just because the fact is we have an online business.”
While small businesses may think they are doing enough, hackers are coming up with clever new ways to gain access, and certain kinds of attacks such as ransomware are becoming more popular. The data collected for the Malwarebytes report, for example, showed that ransomware incidents increased 231 percent from the first quarter of 2016 to the first quarter the following year.
And the financial impact of a cyber incident — such as ransomware — on a business is not well-understood, Thielen said.
“You may read an article about a particular strain of ransomware, for example, demanding a few hundred dollars or a few thousand dollars in exchange for data to be provided back,” Thielen said as an example.
But what often goes unsaid is the associated cost of dealing with the ransomware, he said.
“In addition to that extortion payment the legal fees, the forensics fees, the data restoration costs, the loss of revenue and earnings and extra expenses that businesses might incur to deal with an interruption in their operations, typically those cost components dramatically outweigh the actual extortion payment itself,” Thielen said.
Highly-publicized attacks such as WannaCry and Equifax have created an unexpected benefit: increased awareness around these problems, the industry professionals said.
“They start thinking about well if that can happen to a consumer can that impact my business?” White said of Equifax. “Certainly it does generate a lot of interest and awareness.”
Thielen said Chubb has seen a “significant uptick” in the number of its small business customers who are either asking for or buying cyber insurance.
“And the conversation, oftentimes now appropriately resides around not just the insurance itself but also hey what should I be doing to protect myself and what should I do in the event of a breach?” Thielen said.

Steven Spielberg’s latest film, the autobiographical drama The Fabelmans, has been garnished with several Oscar nominations but has still flopped commercially, making back barely half its $40 million budget at the box office so far. His previous film West Side Story also did not make its costs back. Where once Spielberg prided himself on knowing what audiences wanted, he is deemed either to have lost his touch or is aiming to be a filmmaker for critics and the elite, rather than ‘ordinary’ people.
His next film is said to be a semi-remake of the Steve McQueen crime film Bullitt, with Bradley Cooper starring which does not sound as if it would generate Jurassic Park queues round the block.
He was born 18 December 1946 6.16 pm Cincinnati, Ohio, with a hard working Sagittarius Sun conjunct Mars in his 6th, an entertaining and can-be-frivolous Moon, Jupiter, Venus in Scorpio and Mercury in Sagittarius in his performing 5th; and a heavyweight Saturn Pluto in Leo in his financial 2nd house.
At the moment and since 2020 he’s been soaked in Neptunian influences. First tr Neptune started to move across his Midheaven and then across his 10th house of career to stay for many years. It could be said to favour the movie business but is often not ego-supportive in terms of personal glory though can be creative and healing. His Solar Arc Neptune was conjunct his Sun in 2022 and tr Neptune then squares his Sun in 2023/4, before moving on to square his Mars in 2025. So the next three years look a touch lacklustre.
Where his Solar Returns indicate a return to great success wouldn’t be till 2027 when he has cleared Neptune off his Sun and Mars. Though by that time tr Pluto is on the cusp of his 8th which might suggest darker subjects or restrictions in his life.
It’s a tough business to stay consistently at the top.

I love to read. When most people say they love to read, they usually mean they love putting their feet up on their deck and reading for a while. Or taking a book to the beach. Or reading a chapter or two before bed. When I say I love to read, I mean I love to read in the sense that I am often tempted to forgo food, drink and caring for those I am responsible for if I am in the middle of a good book. My Mother's Day dream gift is a gift card to the book store, where I will stop and buy a book before checking into a hotel room where I can stay and read uninterrupted until check out the next day.
I read a lot and I read across all genres. I am always looking for something new to read and am always open to any suggestions/recommendations. But today, I am going to share just a few of my favorites with you.
1. Favorite Kid's Book
This book was a gift to my daughter from my godparents. I loved it. She loved it. It is now the book I give to anyone who is having a little girl. You should too. My daughter has wanted to dress as The Paper Bag Princess for Halloween, but no one ever knows who we are talking about. And that is a shame.
2. Favorite Book I Read While Teaching
3. Favorite Required Reading From High School
Fell in love with my husband all over again when he turned to me shortly after my first son was born and said "Hey Lennie, careful with the puppies" while I was smooching Conor's chubba cheeks a bit vigorously.
4. Favorite Thriller
If I was forced to stick with one genre from this point forward it would be the Mystery/Thriller. This is always the section I check out first at the library or on Amazon. I debated between two books to pick as my all time favorite thriller. But in the end, Watchers by Dean Koontz narrowly beats out The Stand by Stephen King.
5. Favorite Bandwagon Read
I try not to look a gift horse in the mouth and to me, anything that gets more kids and more adults reading is a good thing. No, its a great thing. But I do often find that I am disappointed with the quality of writing. Not so in this case. The Hunger Games was a great book, as were its follow ups.
6. Favorite True Crime
If you think you know the Andrea Yates story, you are probably wrong. This is an amazing read. Again, I was torn between two books for this category. But the story of Andrea Yates beats out Columbine by Dave Cullen. Both were fascinating as they detailed the real story verses what was reported as well as the lack of follow up by the media to correct misreports. You won't go wrong if you were to chose either of these books.
7. Favorite Current Read
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn is getting a lot of attention this summer. If it is half as good as Dark Places, I am excited to read it. I'm not sure what year Dark Places was first released and why it didn't generate more interest. I am now on the waiting list at my library for both Gone Girl and Sharp Objects.
8. Favorite Series and Characters
I was introduced to Robert B. Parker's books and characters while in the ICU in Boston. A nurse brought me some books once I was well enough to read. I devoured them and when I was released, I soon requested each book, in order of publication, and enjoyed the stories, the character development, and the introduction of each new character. I was upset upon learning of the passing of Robert B. Parker and thought that would be the end of Spenser, Hawk, Susan and others. But, Robert B. Parker's estate, headed by his wife Joan (the inspiration behind Susan) hired Ace Atkins to continue writing the series and I was not disappointed with his first Spenser book. I don't think you will be either. Easy reads, with well developed characters, plots and dialogue.
What are you reading this summer? What are some of your favorites? Again, I am always open to recommendations and suggestions.

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. The 2024 Black History Month theme is “African Americans and the Arts,” spanning the many impacts Black Americans have had on visual and performing arts, literature, fashion, folklore, language, film, music and other forms of cultural expression.
African American artists have used art to preserve history and community memory as well as for empowerment. Artistic and cultural movements such as the New Negro, Black Arts, Black Renaissance, hip-hop, and Afrofuturism, have been led by people of African descent and set the standard for popular trends around the world.
Penserra celebrates Black History Month as a way to remind everyone of where America has been as a society, and to give all of us the courage to move forward.

Georgia On My Mind
Big time snow in the east over the weekend, I hope this is an indication of more to come!
I received a comment from ‘Bosco’ asking my thoughts on ‘what-if’ Yamaha moved snowmobile production to North America: “I know you probably can’t comment but was just thinking about the impact on the industry if the sleds get built in Georgia with the ATV’S. It looks like Yamaha is really starting to align them self’s with the aftermarket suppliers and bringing them into their product development. It would seem that building them here and keeping corporate out of it over there would ramp up new product to market. Thanks for the great effort here! (BLUE FOREVER!)”
This subject has been kicked around as long as I can remember. First off, what would be the impact to the industry? Probably not much. I think the impact would be realized more internally based on the assumption that the Yamaha sled division would become more profitable. We would be able to purchase cheaper parts from North American manufactures who are already supplying Cat, Doo and Polaris. We would also be saving the costs of shipping crated units from Japan.
Now if this additional money was invested into development and technology then the industry would feel the impact with Yamaha raising the ‘competitive advantage’ bar more frequently. On the other side of the coin, Yamaha snowmobiles are manufactured using proprietary techniques developed for large volume quality control and consistency. Our CF die-casting and automated assembly lines are a couple of examples. It would be a great challenge to move the current manufacturing process to Atlanta and I’m guessing here, but it would probably be very cost prohibitive based on the small number of snowmobiles we produce, this being a relative quantity compared to our motorcycles and marine products.
Now I don’t think we would ever leave ‘corporate’ out of the picture as Bosco suggests but having NA production would most likely impact product planning and allow quicker response to market changes and requirements. To that end, maybe the factory in Georgia would not be the ultimate location in lieu of a facility a bit farther north> I elect we build a new factory in Muskoka!
Another factor, Yamaha is first and foremost, an engine builder. If we moved our snowmobile production to Atlanta, our engines would still be built in Japan as there is no engine plant in North America, so it really boils down to chassis and assembly. We know there are certain advantages we could enjoy with North American production, but there are also some major draw-backs, mostly in the costs associated with the start-up, that pretty much negate the opportunities.
The one factor that could really swing the vote is found in the roots of the industry and that is growth. With the economy in recession and the industry showing no signs of increasing sales, we are faced with competing for the same slice of the pie year after year. Making things more difficult; we have the costs of meeting environmental conditions, climate change ‘doomsayers’ warning of a December malaria epidemic in the Arctic and a crusty demographic of aging motor-heads demanding more performance every season (Hey CR, why don’t you guys bring back the Snowscoot?) 😉 . It’s my hunch that the directors and share holders of the company would not be easily convinced of the investment potential in pulling up stakes and moving to America.
All that said, I don’t think our snowmobile production has been based on strong business fundamentals and ROI in a very long time. Our past three presidents have all enjoyed sleds and shared in the passion for our sport. It’s a deep connection we all maintain with the thrill of winter riding, the beauty of frozen nature and the common bond, shared with other sledders. Come to think of it, maybe we should move to North America damn-it!

So, here’s the thing. I’m an experienced and pretty confident knitter. I adjust patterns all the time to create garments that will fit me the way I want them to – shorter sleeves, adequate busts, buttons where I want them, all kinds of modifications.
Even though I can and usually do take my actual body’s measurements into account when I’m knitting, until now, I’ve only ever knit mittens that are too big for me.
I really have no explanation for this. I tried them on as I went. I could see that probably they would be “a little bit long”. But I still finished them.
Exhibit A: a basic mitten recipe, and handspun that I got at one of Victoria’s yarn stores.
The cuff is WAY too long. The wrist-to-fingertip portion isn’t too bad, but the too-long-cuff means it never sits quite right. Also notice the lobster claw thumb, which is weird and wrong but I love it.
Exhibit 2: Beautiful cabled mittens out of Brooklyn Tweed’s Shelter yarn, which is unique and gorgeous.
WHO HAS ARMS LIKE THIS?! (Just to be clear – the birth mark on the left of the photo is about 1″ away from the inside of my elbow. Is there a name for “inside elbow part”? Inbow? Brb googling… “Antecubital Fossa”.) Pattern, you crazy. Sarah, you also crazy for not realizing you made a mitten sleeve, and then MAKING ANOTHER ONE. So beautiful, so too long for me.
Exhibit III: Okay fine, these pretty much fit. But the button loop at the end makes them a little bit impractical… or at least a little bit quirky. (The pattern is by the super talented Ysolda Teague.)
Finally, enter New Favourite Mittens That Fit And Also Have Nostalgic Childhood Resonance!
Following another Raveller’s modifications, I eliminated several sections of the (very nice, and very free) pattern, in order to shorten the cuff, the palm, and the thumb, substantially. And behold! A my-hand-sized mitten! It’s made out of 100% angora, which is BANANAS soft.
When I was a kid, I had a pair of plain white angora mittens and a matching hat that were super super soft, and only for special occasions, and I treasured them. They weren’t handknit, or cabled, but they were soft and pretty and made appearances on the kind of days when my sister and I had to wear matching dresses my mom had sewed with crinolines and too tight sleeve elastic. I’m pretty stoked about the new, adult version, that I can wear anytime I want :)

The number of cases reported so far this year has reached its highest level in 25 years, officials announced Wednesday.
61 new cases have appeared since late last week, according to New York City health officials. That year, this year’s count in the U.S. beyond the 667 total reported instances of the disease for 2014, making 2019 the worst year for measles since 1994, according to The Associated Press.
NEW YORK CITY’S MANDATORY MEASLES VACCINE ORDERS TRIGGER LAWSUIT FROM PARENTS
The uptick of cases reportedly stems largely from the spread of misinformation that has discouraged parents from vaccinating their children.
The measles are very contagious and can be transmitted through the air following a cough or sneeze. All Americans above age 1
are encouraged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to get vaccinated.
New York State has been home to about three-quarters of the reported 2019 cases in the US, with a large portion of them presented in unvaccinated individuals

In 2000, the disease was all but had been eliminated in the country, decades after a vaccination was made accessible. But the spread of misinformation about the vaccination has caused concern and triggered low vaccination levels in certain areas. The immunization is believed to be safe and highly effective.

She is from the past, locked inside a world within a world.
He is from the future, haunted by her death.
A sensible young nobleman and his fiery sister live in an experimental medieval village. Sealed inside this biodome since infancy, Leaf and Willow have been groomed by The Code to build a sustainable world, one devoid of Outsider interference. One that believes death will give way to life.
All is ideal until their father bequeaths a family secret with his dying breath, placing an invisible crown of power on Leaf’s head. Now everyone in their quiet town is suspect. Risking banishment, the siblings search for clues, leading them to Fillion Nichols, an Outsider with a shocking connection to their family. Their encounter launches Fillion into battle with his turbulent past as he rushes to decode the many secrets that bind their future together–a necessity if they are all to survive.
Cultures clash in an unforgettable quest for truth, unfolding a story rich in mystery, betrayal, and love.
Are you ready to discover what is real?
Guys I got absolutely wrapped into this book. The author has a real knack for world building. It’s completely different from any other dystopian/scifi book I’ve ever read. Leaf and Willow ( or Oaklee) are in a biodome which they think is an experimental civilization on Mars. Turns out, it’s basically a LARP-ing reality tv show in the US, the original members knew but the younger generations have no idea.
Leaf and Willow discover one of their fathers secrets, what they think is a portal is really a computer and they meet Fillion. I instantly loved Fillion. He is snarky and a bit goofy and sarcastic.
The teens and twenty-somethings lives are so incredibly close to our current society. Too smart but too young to get good jobs, so they turn to drugs to escape the depression of life.
Not only does this book have a cool cover, it has pages scattered throughout the book that are snap shots of what the scenery looks like in the New Eden biome.
The words and world in this book are absolutely beautiful. Any fan of sci-fi and dystopians, even fans of Warcross, are sure to enjoy this book!

A friend of mine has a 95 vmax 600. The outer sheave cracked the other day when his son was riding it. I have been looking on ebay for a primary but haven't had any luck fining one for the vmaz. I see alot for the vipers and some other models. do you guys know if these will fit the vmax? I know we will have to change the weights and spring but I was concerned that they would't fit on the crank.
50% wanted change, 100% got screwed
is It been awhile... Feels good
to be back!
I think a Yamaha exciter one will fit as I am pretty sure (99%) they have same crank so yea and if you do find out it would would work I have 3 old clutches 2 that stick open around 80 and one has cracked casing id call it let me know pm if your intrested in one if you wanna one we could work out a price
any yamaha snowmobile yxr clutch from 94-current models will fit, including the 4 stroke models, as long as you change the tuning components, but you knew that part. i would avaoid the 94 clutch. 94-97 ran a different sized pin for the rollers so keep that in mind as your rollers may not interchange. there are 4 different sizes of rollers and they do considerably affect performance.

Quoted FAQ question from the.. FAQ page. Reading through the FAQ, this quote and another has me confused. So, my situation as an example: I have a PS4 account where I played from launch for Season 1 and parts of Season 2, got some awesome stuff in the unlocks. Then had more friends on PC get the game when it came out. Also, preferred playing on the PC anyhow. What I want to know is, now that I've set up Cross Save with my PS4 account connected but my PC account as the main, will I be able to grab stuff from my collections that I unlocked on my PS4 account? In other words, will I now have all of the unlocked stuff in my collections? Or is it only going to show my collection of what I unlocked on my PC account? "If I don’t own specific game content on one platform, can I use the gear associated with that content that I earned on another platform? Mostly, yes. Players keep all their Forsaken gear/progress while playing on platform where they own Base D2 and not Forsaken. Exception: PlayStation Exclusives. Those can only be used on PlayStation until Shadowkeep launch. After launch, that restriction goes away. Also, users can’t play any Forsaken gated activities and new rewards will drop at the D2 Base power cap while playing on the platform that doesn’t own Forsaken."
cross save will let you take the collections/progress of the active save with you, it does not merge anything between saves.

Predictive Diagnostics of Tube Mill and Roll-Forming Equipment
Project Lead: Case Western Reserve University
Partners: Rafter Total Mill Solutions, Banner, Atlas Steel, Tenneco
Member % Cost Share: 50%
CESMII % Cost Share: 50%
Duration: 6 Months
Mill systems are not operating efficiently due to lack of preventative maintenance and emergency downtime.
Increase efficiency by minimizing emergency downtime and creating targeted preventative maintenance through the use of a sensor network and algorithms that track the vibration signature of bearings at key mill locations to detect incipient bearing faults, diagnosis these faults and provide prognostic indicators and alerts to mill personnel that can assist in minimizing downtime.
Data-driven algorithms that enable the incipient detection, fault tracking and prognostics will make mill personnel aware of maintenance requirements to ensure that the necessary parts are available and maintenance can be schedule before a catastrophic failure to reduce impact on production and further damage to the mill. The monitoring system developed will provide reports showing potential areas of failure and recommended responses maximizing uptime; a targeted approach to preventative maintenance minimizing unnecessary part replacement and maintenance tasks.
- Complete vibration dataset collected from Rafter (industrial partner) production equipment for model development and validation
- Developed predictive model for vibration monitoring and fault detection
- Implemented fault detection algorithm on the Smart Manufacturing Innovation Platform
- Smart Mill Monitoring App for rotary equipment
The mill monitoring system will provide end users the capability to pinpoint maintenance problems and address them prior to a catastrophic failure helping to maximize uptime. The monitoring system can track the life expectancy of bearings and other consumable parts and reduce part replacements. The data from the monitor can be used to develop proactive maintenance programs and increase operational efficiency. The end users will benefit from the efficiency increases from minimizing downtime and replacement parts cost. The industry can benefit from the analytics of mill run time, motor loads and vibration of equipment to manufacture more efficient solutions in the future.
Rotating machines are essential equipment to most manufacturing process and the ability to use the SMIP for predictive diagnostics will create value for CESMII and the CESMII members.

At first glance, the Onda V919 3G Air tablet might seem like a shameless iPad Air 2 ripoff, and that’s because it is. Even so, taking a peek under the hood reveals a pretty decent Windows 8.1 tablet with some interesting functionality, originally spotted by PhoneArena.
Onda takes some cues from Asus by allowing the V919 to dual-boot Android 4.4 KitKat and Windows 8.1. Users can switch between the two operating systems with the press of a button. Of course, since the tablet has two different operating systems onboard, its 64GB of internal storage might sound rather meager. However, the Onda tablet has a MicroSD card slot that accepts cards up to 128GB in size, so you shouldn’t run out of storage too quickly.
A 2.16GHz, 64-bit Intel Bay Trail Z3736F quad-core processor, coupled with 2GB of RAM, powers the tablet. In addition, 3G connectivity is available and you can even make calls from the V919 while browsing the Web. In case you want to take a few pictures, Onda slapped on a 5-megapixel back camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera.
Onda rounded out the package with an aluminum unibody design and a 9.7-inch screen with a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio. The end result is a tablet that looks very similar to the iPad Air 2, but has a few surprises hidden inside. Regardless, for less than $200, you seem to get quite a bit out of the V919.

As a writer of cozy mysteries, I’m certain I am supposed to say my favorite part is the mysteries themselves. Don’t get me wrong, I do love them, the twist and turns, the big murder solved in every book, the little mysterious threads which go from installment to installment that tie the series together. Those are all great. They’re not my favorite thing, however. Without a doubt, and the thing that keeps me coming back over and over and over again to my most beloved cozy series are the characters who feel like family. The kind of characters you think about, characters you miss between books. Ones you can’t wait to catch up with at the next new release. Even the loud, bossy, annoying characters that make you roll your eyes in the back of your head so hard you almost sprain something (you know the ones). After a few installments, you realize you’re in love with them too, and when they enter a scene again only to be cantankerous, disapproving, or too nosy for their own good, you’re excited to see that they’re still there, comforted that you can roll your eyes at their shenanigans.
That was my goal, front and center, as I crafted and planned and daydreamed over my new Twister Sisters series. I want the mysteries to be tight, compelling, and shocking. But more than that, I want you to fall in love with the people who make up Willow Lane. I want you to fall in love with our three Twister Sisters.
This goal seemed even more important as the three main characters of the series are women whose ages are rarely represented on page. Cordelia and Wanda are both sixty-six, and Pamela is fifty-nine. It’s these three women who make the business of Twister Sisters--delivering their casseroles to the townspeople in need, and, as luck would have it, discovering dead bodies and solving their murders.
These women have lived full, dynamic, and meaningful lives. With over six decades of life experience and relationships built in their cozy little town, there’s a lot of history to pull from. You’ll get to travel along with them through their explorations of those relationships, both with family and friends. Find out why Minnie Wells, the master knitter, is always so cantankerous. Discover what makes Pastor Trout so worried about her teenage son. Help Cordelia uncover some of the relationships she thought she understood her whole life are actually sinister puppet masters, who’ve wielded more control over the events of her town than anyone ever imagined.
That’s the other thing about these three women--often when characters of a certain age are featured, it only deals with the past, what they did, who they were. Life doesn’t end at sixty. These women are still doing, they are still becoming, and they are changing their town of Willow Lane and the lives within one casserole and one mystery at a time. Along with them, are the people and characters who have traveled life’s journey with them side-by-side. Wanda’s assistant baker who dreamed of Hollywood but stayed in the little Ozark town. Pamela’s son who overcame addiction and came home to start anew. And Cordelia’s first love, who moved back to Willow Lane after fifty years away. Everywhere you turn, there’s a character to fall in love with, be suspicious of, and make you laugh and cry. Characters you’ll be excited to catch up with in the next book!

Not the easiest thing to do but the easiest thing to understand. Manifestation starts with the body. Yes this is just like all the other manifestation post and teachings your probably familiar with, or is it.
Manifestation starts with the body. You are a consciousness in a body, and all of your actions and reactions are not from your mind, yes they were put there by your mind but they are from you body. Let’s take an example, I recently went through some deep heartache. It hurt me deeply and burned so much and yet my mind felt completely fine.
A Simple Understanding
I asked myself all the questions that I knew the answers to and still didn’t stop the fire. Like I said you are a consciousness in a body and your consciousness is unbound. Your body is what puts up barriers. When I say your body I’m talking about your Brain as well. I did a few days in a dog training class, and what I learn added to what I believe I understanding in other areas.
The dog will never listen if you are not firm, no matter how you feel. No matter how much you want to do these certain Things, you must try to do less or you fear the risk of untraining them. This doesn’t mean not to do them, just try to do at the appropriate times to make a clear distinction. Lastly the most important, you must always repeat. All life grows through some form of repetition and these lessons, I believe, was the reason I was in the class.
You have to do something to make mental changes physically. This is what I mean by manifestation. You want the body, the mind, the life, the friends, the wealth. This happens because you put the effort into doing something not wishing that something would happen.
STEPS TO MANIFEST
1. To start all this you need the energy to do it. The brain receives 20% of the blood in your body. Deep breathing affects this dramatically, this topic I could write a whole subject on breathing, but I am laying out guide lines only.
2. After or during your breathing. You have to continually bring your mind back to what is your focus or you will run down a trail of familiarity, and not always is this the best path to follow, as we all know. This path is were some depression stays and you follow it only because it feels right at the moment.
3. Repeat. There are the keys to true manifestation. You cannot give up because you believe it’s not right, you cannot give up because it feels better, and you cannot give up because of the burn. If you knew your whole life and still lived it the same, why would you allow depression other than it feels right. Please drive through the flames, I do everyday.
Like, share, and comment because you never know who may have needed to hear this.

Once an imaginary weapon on Star Wars, the electromagnetic gun is now reality.
The railgun, which made its debut at the US Navy's Science and Technology expo early this year, fires a projectile faster, farther and with greater impact than a gun that uses gunpowder.
In development for years, the weapon is able to fire a projectile at Mach 7, or 8,700kmh, hitting targets 180km away.
The massive railgun that needs just one sailor to operate relies on the electromagnetic energy of the Lorentz force - the combination of electric and magnetic forces on a point charge - for power. The Navy likes the weapon for several reasons, not least of which is its range of 180km and the fact that it does not require explosive warheads.
That makes it far safer for sailors, and cheaper for taxpayers. According to the US Navy, each 18-inch projectile costs about US$25,000 (S$35,400), compared to US$500,000 to US$1.5 million for conventional missiles.
The US Navy has been talking about using railguns for the past 10 years. The Office of US Naval Research launched a prototype programme in 2005, with an initial investment of US$250 million committed through 2011. The US Navy anticipates spending about that much more by 2017.
"It will give our adversaries a huge moment of pause to go: 'Do I even want to engage a US naval ship?'" US Rear Admiral Matt Klunder told reporters. "Because you are going to lose."
"Frankly, we think it is the right time for them to know what we've been doing behind closed doors in a Star Wars fashion," he added.
"It's now reality, not science fiction."
2.5km per second (Mach 7.5) − almost twice as fast as conventional guns.
Target 400km away could be hit in six minutes. Conventional guns have maximum range of 80km.
Destroys target by kinetic force, eliminating need for explosive warhead.
HOW IT WORKS
1. The projectile is held between two metal rails inside an armature − the central core of a massive dynamo.
2. Electric current is passed through the rails, creating opposing magnetic fields that propels the armature forward at great velocity.
3. The shell detaches from the armature at speeds of up to seven times the speed of sound to a distance of 180km.

One of Clackamas County’s five Republican members of the Oregon House, Vic Gilliam, resigned his seat two days before the legislature was set to convene Feb. 1. He is 63.
Rep. Gilliam, of Silverton, has been very ill with ALS, reportedly unable to leave his home to campaign in the Republican-dominated House District 18 when he ran against Democrat Tom Kane last year. Regardless of his efforts, he was easily re-elected. Continue reading
Clackamas County will seat four new legislators in January with the replacement of Representatives Brent Barton, Shemia Fagan, John Davis, and Kathleen Taylor. Taylor is advancing to the Senate, and the other three are retiring.
Clackamas has 10 members in the lower house, five Democrats and five Republicans, and five senators. But Democrat Taylor marks the only change in the Senate as Democrat Diane Rosenbaum is retiring. Taylor beat John Sweeney in the primary and there is no Republican candidate in Senate District 21, which includes Milwaukie and part of Southeast Portland.
Replacing Taylor, who did one term in the House, will most likely be Milwaukie City Councilor Karin Power, a Democrat. She was unopposed in the House District 41 primary and faces Republican Tim McMenamin (trying for a third straight election) in November. This seat has long been held by Democrats, and Power should retain it for the progressives. She amassed 10,338 primary votes to McMenamin’s 2,747. He is a pharmacist. She is an attorney.

The current law is weighted in favour of the big unions who constantly threaten to strike. You don't need a union to guarantee you are treated well in a job - most people aren't members of unions and unions are no longer a necessity to ensure job security.

With effective treatment, people with HIV live longer. But as they age, they face higher rates of age-related comorbidities and hospitalizations, according to a recent study of hospitalized patients.
Policymakers will need to allocate resources, train providers and plan ways to manage chronic diseases, such as diabetes and cancer, in geriatric HIV patients, according to the authors.
“There will be more [HIV] patients with age-related chronic conditions at an earlier age who will use or have a unique need for [healthcare for] these geriatric conditions,” said first author Khairul A. Siddiqi, PhD, University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville, in an interview with Medscape Medical News. “Ultimately, this can increase resource utilization and inpatient costs.”
The study was published online June 8 to HIV medicine.
Aging with HIV
Analyzing the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) from the Health Care Cost and Utilization Project, the authors compared the characteristics and comorbidities associated with hospital stays among people living with HIV ( HSWH) to those related to hospital stays in people without HIV (HSWOH).
The NIS is a database of hospital records that captures 20% of discharges in the United States and covers all payers. The data for this analysis covered the years 2003 to 2015.
Among HSWH, patients aged 50 or older accounted for an increasing proportion over time, rising from less than 25% in 2003 to more than 50% in 2015, according to the authors. The 65-80 year old subgroup increased from 2.39% to 8.63% in 2015.
The authors also studied the rates of eight comorbidities, called non-AIDS-associated conditions (HANA): cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, neurological and renal diseases; Diabetes; cancer; and bone loss.
The average number of these conditions among HSWHs and HSWOHs has increased over time. But this change was disproportionately high among HSWHs aged 50 to 64 and those aged 65 and older.
Over the study period, among patients aged 65 or older, six of the eight age-related conditions studied by the researchers increased disproportionately in HSWH compared to HSWOH; among those aged 50 to 64, five conditions made it.
The researchers are now building on the current HSWH study by looking at utilization rates for resources, such as MRIs and procedures, Siddiqi said.
Limitations of the study included a lack of data from long-term facilities, potential bias by patients hospitalized multiple times, and inherent limitations of administrative data.
A unique group of seniors
Among people living with HIV (PWH) in the United States, nearly half are age 50 or older. By 2030, this group is expected to represent approximately 70% of PWH.
“We have to be careful about what we know about aging in general. It’s also important to study aging in this particular population, because we don’t necessarily know that much about it,” said Amy Justice, MD. , PhD, Professor of Medicine. and public health at Yale University, in an interview with Medscape Medical News. Justice did not participate in the study.
The HIV epidemic has disproportionately affected people of color, men who have sex with men, and people with a history of injection drug usesaid the judge.
“We don’t know how to grow old with [a] history of injection drug use. We don’t even know much about aging with Hepatitis Cnecessarily,” she said. “There are therefore many reasons to pay attention to this population to try to optimize its care.
Moreover, compared to their HIV-uninfected counterparts, these individuals are more susceptible to HANA comorbidities. They may experience these conditions at a younger age or more severely. Chronic inflammation and polypharmacy may be to blame, Justice said.
Given the burden of comorbidities and polypharmacy in this patient population, Siddiqi said, policymakers will need to focus on developing chronic disease management interventions for them.
However, Justice added that the risk of multimorbidity is higher in people living with HIV throughout the age cycle: “It’s not like I’m 50 with HIV and all of suddenly all the wheels came off. There are ways to successfully grow old with HIV.
Need for expertise in geriatric HIV
Justice called the study’s analysis a useful addition to the literature and noted its implications for training.
“One of the biggest challenges with this big bowl of people aging with HIV,” she said, “is how much care should they be taken by the people who cared for them – largely infectious disease doctors — and to what extent should we really shift their care to people with more experience with aging.”
Another key issue, Justice said, relates to nursing homes and assisted living facilities, whose staff may lack experience caring for HIV patients. Training them and hospital providers is crucial, in part to avoid key mistakes, such as missed antiretroviral doses, she said: “We really need to think about how to bring non-HIV-positive providers up to speed.
It can start simply by making it clear that this population is here.
“Ten years ago, HIV-positive patients had shorter life expectancies, so all HIV studies used 50 years as the cut-off point for [the] older population,” Siddiqi said. “Now we know they live longer.
Justice added: “Previously, people thought that aging and HIV were not coincidental discoveries.”
The study was funded by the Office of the Vice President for Research at the University of South Carolina. The authors and Justice have disclosed no relevant financial relationship.

Publisher: Feiwel and Friends
Fifteen-year-old Billy joined the army and is being sent off to fight the Turks in Gallipoli. On the way there, he meets a boy named Captain and his donkey, Hey-Ho, who are in the service corps and are sent along with Billy’s platoon. They move from battle to battle, experiencing the horrors of war, but amidst all the fighting, Captain and Hey-Ho are always there providing relief to the troops, especially Billy. Captain and Billy develop a close friendship as they are both far underage. Two years later, fatigued and delusional, Billy accidentally shoots Captain and it almost destroys him. His soul is ravaged with memories from war and of Captain. After it’s all over, Captain finds Billy and they are able to head home together. The end of the war brings peace to the world, but only Captain can bring peace to the inner war in Billy’s mind.
At first this book may seem confusing and dry, but as the story develops readers will find that it is emotionally moving and thought-provoking. The writing is fairly complex and might be hard for young readers to follow. The book is detailed, but it is still hard to get a clear picture of exactly what is happening. This style communicates the confusion of war and the detrimental effects it has on all involved; however, it does make it difficult to hold some of the story together in your head. Regardless, the themes of friendship and loyalty that run throughout the book make the story worthwhile. Additionally, it confronts the issues of war and PTSD head-on through the Billy’s experiences. Readers develop a strong connection with Billy and Captain and will long for the peace and solace that the characters yearn for as well. Although it is slow-moving, it is an excellent read that examines strong themes of both friendship and hardship.

Following the rising cases of kidnapping of school students in some parts of Northwest Nigeria, all boarding secondary schools across Yobe State have been shut down indefinitely.
The Yobe State government is said to have ordered the schools’ closure over the fear that Boko Haram insurgents may launch another assault on students in the state.
DAILY POST learned that the closure only affects only boarding secondary schools, as all government day secondary schools remained open in the state.
Some boarding students who were about taking a commercial bus home in Damaturu told our correspondent that their school management ordered them to vacate the hostels and go home immediately without giving any explanation.
As of the time of filing this report, Yobe State Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Dr. Mohammed Sani Idriss was not available to comment on the development.
Recall that armed bandits have recently intensified attacks on schools in the region, traumatising students and teachers in schools,
Though the students may be safer in their homes, there is a consensus among analysts that the situation has further plunged the education sector in northern Nigeria into uncertainty.
The abductions of secondary schools students in Chibok, Dapchi, Kankara, Kagara and Jangebe have raised many questions about the state of security and education in Nigerian northern schools.

Why does my dog always carry something in her mouth? As a Golden Retriever owner, I’m no longer surprised whenever I see Sherlock with something on his mouth. As a retriever, it’s Sherlock’s nature to collect things. And since canines don’t have hands, he will have to put it in his mouth.
However, if your dog isn’t a retriever, the reasons below will explain why it loves carrying anything in his mouth.
Why do dogs always have something in their mouth?
Dogs are pretty much like kids. They will put anything in their mouths, no matter how dirty or toxic it is. It’s their way of exploring the world and passing the time when they are bored. If you’re wondering why your dog loves carrying and mouthing things, the following reasons will explain it:
1. Your dog is teething
The most common reason why dogs carry things in their mouth all the time is teething. Puppies that are within their first six months of life will undergo teething twice. The first one is when they milk teeth sprout, and the next is when the puppy teeth are replaced with the adult set.
During this phase, your dog’s gums will be sore and painful. And to appease the discomfort, your puppy will chew things. This is the reason why you’ll see your pup carrying things in its mouth all the time.
Safe to say, this is normal behavior. However, you should divert the puppy’s chewing into proper chew toys. This will prevent mouth injuries in case the pup mouths very stiff or sharp objects.
2. Dogs are natural hunters
Dogs are natural hunters, so it’s normal for them to carry things in their mouths. In the domesticated setting, this could be a dead bird, chicken, rat, and so on. While your dog may not eat their catch, they take satisfaction from hunting and bringing it around.
In the wild, canines evolved into hunters to survive. There’s no one to scoop them some kibble, so they have to look for food on their own. And even as they get domesticated, canines retained this instinct.
Aside from its instinct, a dog will be forced to hunt if it’s not fed well. If you’re not consistent with your pet’s feeding schedule, don’t be surprised if it will bring dead animals home and consume them.
3. It’s in your dog’s breed
Another reason for your dog’s affinity for carrying things is its breed. Like I mentioned earlier, my dog Sherlock is a Golden Retriever. As the breed name suggests, Golden Retrievers were bred to retrieve things.
Golden Retrievers were bred to be gun dogs and companions of hunters. Their main job is to retrieve the waterfowl that their masters shoot. After being domesticated, Goldie’s kept the strong retriever instinct. My Sherlock will retrieve socks, toys, rugs, and just about anything that’s on the floor.
Aside from Golden Retrievers, breeds like Labrador Retriever, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Flat-coated Retriever, Poodle, and Irish Water Spaniel love retrieving things. These canines are bred and trained to become companions and assistants, so it’s second nature for them to carry things in their mouths.
4. Your dog wants your attention
Another possible explanation here is that your dog wants your attention. My Sherlock would often bring a toy to me through his mouth to initiate playtime. This can be the case with other dogs as well.
However, some canines realize that their owners give them attention when they mouth things. For example, a dog owner will yell at his pet if it carries a slipper or sock in its mouth. Over time, the dog realizes that mouthing such things solicit attention or reaction, regardless if it’s negative.
5. Your dog is giving you gifts
Dogs are pack beings. Those who are tasked to hunt will bring their catch into the pack to feed everyone. This might be the reason why your dog is carrying things in its mouth and giving them to you. Your pup considers you as a member of the pack. And as the alpha, they respect your authority to eat first.
Aside from food, dogs will carry any item they consider valuable and give it to you as a gift. It’s a show of love and devotion to you as the master.
My dog Sherlock loves bringing me branches and leaves whenever I let him out. It’s normal behavior, but you have to watch out over the things they bring into the house.
6. You reward the behavior
Your dog will keep carrying things in its mouth if you reward him for it. You’re probably petting the dog or giving any kind of response to the behavior. This will make your dog realize that mouthing is good and somewhat rewarded, deliberately or not.
7. Your dog is anxious
Anxious dogs often let off steam by chewing and mouthing things. As the anxiety becomes stronger, the more destructive the canine becomes.
If your dog has separation anxiety, it’s imperative to address it with training right away. This will save your belongings from damages and your dog from excessive stress.
8. Your dog is possessive
Possessive dogs often carry their resources around. It could be their favorite toy, food bowl, bed, or just about anything they consider valuable. This happens a lot if there are visiting pets that your dog finds intimidating.
Take note that possessive dogs can have aggressive tendencies, especially if the other animal tries to touch their belongings. Desensitization is an important process here, so your pet will relax and stop carrying things around.
You have to teach your dog that it’s okay to leave their belongings. Positive reinforcement using food rewards is very effective here.
9. Your dog likes the taste
Lastly, your dog probably likes the taste of the item he’s putting in his mouth. It could also be the smell, especially if the object came outdoors. This could be your shoes, socks, comb, clothes, and so on. As long as the object is non-toxic, I don’t think there will be a problem here.
How to stop your dog from carrying things in its mouth
It can get really annoying when a dog mouths and carries things all the time. This makes many dog owners, including me, worry about the possibility of choking and poisoning. To help fix the problem, the following tips will help:
Stop encouraging it
The very first thing you should do is stop encouraging the dog to carry things. Avoid giving any form of reward, especially attention. Instead, you should train your dog with the ‘Leave it’ command so it will know how to drop the object when instructed.
If your dog has symptoms of separation anxiety, you should address it right away. Train your dog to calm down and identify its triggers. You should also reduce anything that can cause stress on your dog.
For very nervous dogs, you can consult with a vet to discuss calming aids. It can be a sedative or an over-the-counter treat with calming ingredients.
Redirect your dog’s attention
If you don’t want your dog carrying random things in its mouth, you should offer an alternative behavior. Give your dog more exercise and playtime to keep its mind off mouthing objects. Draining the dog’s energy will also discourage it from looking for objects to put in its mouth.
How do I get my dog to release something from its mouth?
One friend of mine once joked that you’d never see something run faster than a dog who’s asked to drop whatever is on its mouth.
Training is the most effective solution if you want your dog to drop whatever object it’s carrying. Food is always an excellent choice since many canines are food-driven. The smellier the lure is, the more irresistible it will be. In no time, your dog will drop the object to enjoy the treat.
In emergencies when the dog won’t drop a toxic object, pet owners are compelled to force-open the canine’s mouth. You should do this as gently as possible in case you’re facing the same dilemma.
You can also enlist the help of a trainer if your dog doesn’t follow commands. Your dog likely needs a different approach to yield to the training.
Why does my dog always carry something in her mouth? This is a very common behavior among canines. They do this out of boredom, curiosity, seeking attention, or merely because of instinct. As natural hunters, it’s not surprising to see dogs carrying something in its mouth. Just make sure that you manage it by offering an alternative activity.

Red blood cells have complex chemical substances on their surface. These substances are different for each blood group. The blood group system, which is important in transplantation, is known as the ABO system. Within the ABO system people can be one of four types – O, A, B, AB.
Structures usually proteins, which can be detected by the immune system. If the body is exposed to foreign antigens, for example from a blood transfusion or a pregnancy, it can start an immune (fighting) response and form antibodies.
This term is used for donors who intend to donate a kidney to someone that they do not know.
Antibodies are proteins present in the blood that detect a foreign antigen. If the foreign antigen is detected at a later time the body is ready to destroy it.
This is done in the laboratory. The serum (the clear liquid in blood) of the potential recipient is mixed with white blood cells of a potential donor. If there are antibodies in the serum that damage the cells then this potential donor would be unsuitable for this recipient.
Computer tomography enables images of the inside of your body to be obtained harmlessly and painlessly. The specially designed system has a rotating xray source, moving around the body, emitting a narrow xray beam.
An ECG is a recording of heart electrical activity. Electrodes, pads with wires linking them to a recorder, are put on the chest, arms and legs. These electrodes pick up the electrical signal from the heart, transfer it to the recorder and a graph is printed out. It is a painless test.
Human Leukocyte Antigens are found on the surface of white blood cells. They are there to help the body regulate its immune response and are important for the body to survive. They also indicate whether a transplanted kidney is likely to be tolerated or rejected. A half set of HLA antigens is inherited from the mother and a half set from the father.
A scan that is performed in the Radiology Department. Ultrasound is high frequency sound that is beyond the range of human hearing. A probe is moved over the skin, sending and receiving ultrasound signals, which are changed into images of the kidneys and bladder. This is a painless procedure.
