While the world eagerly waits to catch her looking all kinds of dreamy in her next film, Harry Potter star and UN Goodwill Ambassador, Emma Watson played the role of book fairy for a night – dashing around the London Underground to hide books for passengers.
This adorable star who runs a feminist book club called Our Shared Shelf, partnered with an organization called Books on the Underground to leave about 100 copies of Maya Angelou‘s “Mom & Me & Mom” in train stations across London along with a super cute handwritten note. She wrote that she hoped the reader would enjoy her November pick and urged them to pass it on and leave it on the Tube for other readers to find.

WASHINGTON -- Stuart Levey, Treasury's undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, will run Treasury pending the confirmation of Timothy Geithner, whose nomination as secretary has run into trouble over the disclosure that he did not pay certain taxes for several years.
The Senate plans to hold a confirmation hearing for Mr. Geithner on Wednesday, a day after President-elect Barack Obama is sworn in as president. It's unclear how quickly the Senate may vote on Mr. Geithner's confirmation and the Obama team has asked Mr. Levey to fill in until Mr. Geithner is confirmed.
Mr. Levey, a Bush administration appointee, has spent his tenure at Treasury focusing on financial terrorism and has little expertise in the financial crisis now roiling the markets. He is expected to consult heavily with the Obama administration and serve essentially as a caretaker during the interregnum.
Mr. Levey, an attorney, came to Treasury in 2004 from the Justice Department, where he dealt with counterterrorism efforts.

Free radical generation and oxidative stress with ageing and exercise: Differential effects in the myocardium and liver
Abstract:Reactive oxygen species and other oxidants are implicated in the mechanisms of biological ageing and exercise-induced tissue damage. The present study examined the effects of ageing and an acute bout of exercise on intracellular oxidant generation, lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation and glutathione (GSH) status in the heart and liver of young adult (8 month, N=24) and old (24 month, N=24) male Fischer 344 rats. Young rats ran on treadmill at 25 m min–1, 5% grade until exhaustion (55.4 ± 2.7 min), whereas old rats ran at 15 m min–1, 5% until exhaustion (58.0 ± 2.7 min). Rate of dichlorofluorescin (DCFH) oxidation, an indication of intracellular oxidant production, was significantly higher in the homogenates of aged heart and liver compared with their young counterparts. In the isolated heart and liver mitochondria, ageing increased oxidant production by 29 and 32% (P < 0.05), respectively. Acute exercise increased oxidant production in the aged heart but not in the liver. When nicodinamide dinucleotide phosphate (reduced), adenosine diphosphate and Fe3+ were included in the assay, DCFH oxidation rate was 47 and 34% higher (P < 0.05) in the aged heart and liver homogenates, respectively, than the young ones. The age differences in the induced state reached 83 and 140% (P < 0.01) in isolated heart and liver mitochondria, respectively. Lipid peroxidation was increased in the aged liver and exercised aged heart, whereas protein carbonyl content was elevated only in the aged heart (P < 0.05). Although our data using DCFH method probably underestimated cellular oxidant production because of time delay and antioxidant competition, it is clear that oxidative stress was enhanced in both heart and liver with old age. Furthermore, aged myocardium showed greater susceptibility to oxidative stress after heavy exercise.

Understanding Blood Clots
What Are Blood Clots?
Blood clots, medically known as thrombi, are gel-like masses that form in your blood vessels. They are composed of platelets and fibrin, a protein involved in clot formation. While blood clots are a natural part of the body’s healing process, abnormal clotting can occur and lead to various health issues.
Types of Blood Clots
There are two primary types of blood clots: arterial and venous. Arterial clots develop in arteries and can obstruct blood flow to vital organs, potentially causing heart attacks or strokes. Venous clots form in veins and are associated with conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism.
Causes and Risk Factors
Common Causes of Blood Clots
Blood clots can form due to several reasons, including prolonged immobility, surgery, injury, or underlying medical conditions such as cancer or clotting disorders. Smoking, obesity, and hormonal contraceptives can also contribute to clot formation.
Risk Factors to Consider
Certain factors increase the likelihood of developing blood clots. These include a family history of clotting disorders, advanced age, pregnancy, and a sedentary lifestyle. It’s crucial to be aware of these factors and take appropriate preventive measures.
Identifying Blood Clot Symptoms
Symptoms of blood clots depend on their location. For instance, a deep vein clot may cause swelling, pain, and warmth in the affected leg, while a clot in the lungs can lead to shortness of breath and chest pain. Being able to recognize these symptoms promptly is essential for seeking timely medical help.
When to Seek Medical Attention
If you experience sudden and severe symptoms like chest pain, difficulty breathing, or unexplained swelling, don’t delay seeking medical attention. Timely intervention can prevent complications and even save your life.
Complications and Consequences
Potential Complications Arising from Blood Clots
Untreated blood clots can lead to serious complications. An arterial clot can result in tissue damage due to reduced blood flow, while a venous clot can travel to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism. These scenarios can be life-threatening and require immediate medical intervention.
Even if blood clots are successfully treated, they can have long-term effects. Chronic pain, post-thrombotic syndrome, and the increased risk of recurrence are potential consequences that patients need to be aware of and manage.
Prevention and Management
Preventive Measures to Reduce Blood Clot Risk
To reduce the risk of blood clots, doctors advise maintaining an active lifestyle, staying hydrated, avoiding prolonged sitting or standing, and quitting smoking. For individuals at higher risk, doctors might recommend blood-thinning medications or compression stockings.
Treatment Options and Management
When blood clots are diagnosed, doctors will tailor treatment based on the clot’s location and severity. Medications like anticoagulants are commonly used to prevent further clotting, while procedures such as thrombectomy can be performed to remove large clots.
Blood clots are a serious medical concern that requires awareness and prompt action. By understanding the causes, symptoms, and preventive measures associated with blood clots, you can take steps to protect your health. Remember, timely medical attention is crucial if you suspect a blood clot, as it can make a significant difference in outcomes.

Embracing Island Culture: Experiencing Traditional Fiji On Your Vacation
Nestled in the heart of the South Pacific, Fiji offers more than just a picturesque vacation spot. While it boasts azure waters, sprawling sandy beaches, and breathtaking landscapes, Fiji’s true essence is embedded in its rich culture and traditions.
This island nation, comprised of more than 300 islands, is a mosaic of fascinating rituals, ancient practices, and warm-hearted people waiting to share their stories. As you plan your Fiji holiday, consider how you can fully immerse yourself in the island’s heritage.
This article is your guide to diving deep into the cultural tapestry of Fiji, ensuring you don’t just visit but genuinely experience the island’s traditions.
The Beat Of The Meke Dance
The rhythmic beats, vibrant costumes, and captivating choreography of Fiji’s traditional performances will captivate any traveler. The Meke stands out, weaving tales of love, legends, and ancient battles through its harmonious blend of dance and song. Attend a performance, and you’ll be swept away by the emotions it evokes.
In your Fiji holiday itinerary, earmark an evening for a live Meke performance. Villages and resorts often host these events, allowing visitors to glimpse the folklore and stories that have shaped Fijian culture over centuries.
Savor The Taste Of Kava
Upon setting foot in Fiji, you’ll soon discover the significance of kava in daily life and ceremonies. This traditional drink, prepared from the kava plant’s root, is more than just a beverage; it symbolizes unity and camaraderie. The ritual of sharing kava binds communities together, reinforcing social ties and respect.
Venture into a village or participate in a traditional ceremony, and you might be offered a bowl of kava. Accepting it is seen as embracing Fijian customs. As you take a sip, you’ll taste the drink and the island’s deep-rooted traditions.
Embody The Bula Spirit
In Fiji, “Bula” resonates everywhere. More than just a friendly greeting, it represents the island’s spirit of warmth, joy, and hospitality. It’s an embodiment of the Fijian way of life, a reflection of its people’s genuine smiles and open heartedness.
As you traverse the islands, from markets to tranquil seaside spots, “Bula” will accompany you. Engaging with locals and reciprocating this greeting will make you feel welcome and enrich your understanding of the Fijian ethos.
Dive Into Traditional Craftsmanship
The skill and artistry of Fijian artisans shine through in the islands’ traditional crafts. From masi (bark cloth) and woven mats to intricately designed pottery and wooden sculptures, the items reflect Fiji’s heritage and the tales of its people.
Exploring local markets or artisan workshops offers an in-depth look into these crafts. Beyond just purchasing a souvenir, you’ll acquire a piece of Fiji’s history. Additionally, your purchase aids in keeping these ancient art forms alive and supports the local economy.
Revel In Nature’s Bounty
Fijians have always maintained a symbiotic relationship with their surroundings. The islands offer abundant resources, and the locals have mastered living in harmony with nature. Traditional villages epitomize sustainable living, using age-old farming and fishing methods.
Consider joining a guided village tour. Not only will you witness these sustainable practices in action, but you’ll also gain insights into the Fijians’ profound respect for the land and sea. It’s an eye-opening experience, revealing how traditional ways can offer lessons for modern living.
Fijian Myths And Legends
Deep within the cultural fabric of Fiji lie its myths and legends, tales passed down through countless generations. These stories often explain the islands’ origins, the forces of nature, and the intricate connections between humans, gods, and the environment. Listening to a village elder narrate these tales under a starlit sky is an unforgettable experience.
While some tales revolve around powerful deities and their exploits, others tell stories of brave warriors, cunning tricksters, or forbidden love. They not only entertain but also provide insights into the Fijian people’s values, beliefs, and societal norms. Engaging with these narratives allows a deeper appreciation of the islands’ rich tapestry of history and spirituality.
Experience The Serenity Of Fijian Temples And Sacred Sites
Fiji is dotted with temples, churches, and sacred sites that stand as testaments to the spiritual depth of its inhabitants. These places, some hidden amidst lush forests and others perched on hilltops, provide solace and are central to community life. Many of these sites have histories that date back centuries and are integral to understanding Fijian spirituality.
During your Fiji holiday, set aside time to visit these sacred spaces. Even if you’re not spiritually inclined, these places’ architectural beauty, serene ambiance, and historical significance are bound to leave an impression. Always show respect by dressing modestly and following local customs when entering these spiritual domains.
Embracing Fiji’s traditional culture is more than just an itinerary checkbox during your vacation. It’s about forging connections, understanding the heartbeats of the islands, and immersing yourself in a world that offers abundant warmth, beauty, and wisdom. Make your Fiji holiday more than just a trip; make it a journey of discovery.

A frittata sandwich done in Bobby Flay style, filled with bold flavours, a blend of textures and beautiful colours.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Put the pancetta on a baking sheet, leaving a few inches of space between slices, and sprinkle with pepper. Bake until crispy, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
Preheat the broiler. Heat the oil in an 8-inch nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds longer. Season with salt and pepper.
Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Whisk in the goat cheese and herbs. Add the egg mixture to the pan with the onions and garlic, and stir just until soft curds begin to form. Sprinkle with some salt. Transfer the pan to the broiler. Broil until the frittata is lightly golden brown and just set, 3 to 5 minutes. Invert onto a platter and let cool slightly or to room temperature, then cut into 4 pieces to fit the rolls.
Spread some hot pepper relish on the bottoms of the rolls. Top with a piece of frittata, 2 slices of pancetta, some arugula, and the roll tops.

Banksy's self-destructing painting might be worth twice as much now
If you want to make money, destroy things
Funny bloke, that Banksy, ain’t he? Likes to pull a silly gag now and again, that’s for sure. And his latest was no different - his iconic painting ‘Girl With Balloon’ was sold at Sotheby’s auction house on Friday, for a whopping £1,042,000.
That’s newsworthy on its own, but what happened next was what really mattered - immediately after being sold it self-shredded in front of the crowd at the event. Look at these priceless faces:
Very funny, that, if you ask us. Would have loved to see the face on whoever bought it - they must’ve dropped a couple of pounds on the spot. But then again, those pounds will have swiftly been returned because it looks like the half-destroyed painting is now worth twice as much. Yep, twice as much as a million goddamn quid.
Alex Branczik, Sotheby’s European Head of Contemporary Art, said:
“You know what, I’ll be quite honest. We have not experienced this situation the past… where a painting spontaneously shredded, upon achieving a record for the artist. We are busily figuring out what this means in an auction context.”
Regardless of this confusing situation, it’s probably good news for the buyer - Joey Syer, co-founder of www.MyArtBroker.com said:
“Girl with Balloon is one of the most iconic images of recent times.
“It’s seen some of the sharpest price increases over previous years with signed / unsigned prints and canvass showing an average of +20% yoy. Prices now are regularly exceeding £115,000 for signed authenticated prints.
“The auction result will only propel this further and given the media attention this stunt has received, the lucky buyer would see a great return on the £1.02M they paid last night, this is now part of Art History in its shredded state and we’d estimate Banksy has added at a minimum 50% to it’s value, possibly as high as being worth £2m+.”
Ridiculous. Brilliant, but ridiculous. Here’s how he did it, in case you want to do it with your CV at your next job interview or something:
As to the identity of the man, that’s still a mystery, although the leading theory is that it’s Robert Del Naja from Massive Attack (more info here), mainly because DJ legend Goldie basically let it slip on the Distraction Pieces podcast. Have a listen to the sound of someone suddenly realising they’ve made the worst mistake of their life:
That is the sound of panic distilled to its purest form.
Erm, JAZZ MUSIC!

CROSS LANES, W.Va. — The father of a murdered Kanawha County teenager filed a message on Facebook Tuesday urging parents to monitor the online activity of their children.
Police said David Wayne Brown’s 16-year-old daughter Ericka was killed in Meigs County, Ohio. Police have charged Ernest Michael Roach, 36, of Racine, Ohio, with both having sex with Brown and killing her. Investigators said the two met after Brown posted a message on Craigslist seeking relationships with men.
David Brown’s Facebook message to other parents urged them to know what their children are doing.
“Make sure you know what sites they are on. Children can be so private and that’s a dangerous place to be. I don’t want any other family to have to go thru the pain my wife and me are going thru,” he wrote.
David Brown lamented he could no longer hug his daughter.
“Please hug your children tonight and tell them what they mean to you, [If i just] had the opportunity to hug and tell Ericka how much she meant to me one more time.”

DigiYatra Explained: What Is Contactless Passenger Processing System? How It Works?
With travel volumes significantly on the rise, the Centre’s DigiYatra initiative has been rolled out (soft launch) at the Delhi International Airport, operated by GMR.
The beta version of DigiYatra has been rolled out for Google Android users.
The passenger procession system runs on facial recognition technology, which has began its operations at Delhi airport, with infrastructure previously set up at Terminal 3 of the airport.
To use the platform, passengers at the airport will have to download the DigiYatra app on their Android phones, while iOS users can wait for sometime to use the feature, as it will be available to them in the coming weeks.
The main purpose of the Govt application would be to establish the identity of a passenger at airports without any paper or contact processing. The whole experience truly will be contactless.
The traveler will have to pass through set (multiple) checkpoints at the airport, including security check areas, entry into the airport and aircraft boarding point, among others, using the facial recognition technology, the DigiYatra app will establish the identity of the passenger linked to the respective boarding pass.
Once a user has downloaded the DigiYatra app on their Android phone, they will have to register on the app through their Aadhar credentials, proceeding then with a selfie with the Aadhar card.
Following this step, since the app is used in the travel and hospitality sector, the user will have to put in their vaccination details through the CoWin credentials on the app.
The traveler will then have to scan their boarding pass with the QR code, post which their travel details and credentials will be shared with the airport authorities.
To enter the airport too, the traveler will have to scan their boarding passes at the e-gate and look directly into the facial recognition system camera installed at the entry point.
This same thing will be repeated at every DigiYatra checkpoint.

I am a professional writer with a bachelor's degree in creative writing and a minor in grammar. I have also attended several years of classes and workshops in screenplay writing at the Los Angeles Screenplay writer's Expo.
I love suspenseful, action-adventures and clean, young adult, romance stories. I was born and raised in a small town in Idaho. I am the second out of six children. When I was in my early 20's my mother was killed by a drunk driver. This one incident drastically changed my life. I have always had a passion for reading and writing fiction. Owing to a life long struggle with Dyslexia, early teachers discouraged me from pursuing a career in writing.
As I have spent over twenty-five years transforming my language disabilities into professional writing skills, God has honed my insatiable passion into an incredible vision.
My Christian upbringing has instilled within me the belief that "...with God nothing shall be impossible" (Luke 1:37). This has sustained me through the hard times. Because of my dyslexia, I have had to learn the structure of the English language like math, syntax building block upon syntax building block.
I am grateful for this weakness because it has developed in me a skill and love for diagramming sentences, which unfortunately is becoming a lost art.

Jason Tanner’s dad has invented a hologram machine. (Think Star Trek—I always wanted one of those!) In order to protect the technology until it can be patented, the family has remained very isolated. Jason and his brother are homeschooled and don’t interact with anyone in the neighborhood. But both are intrigued by Boston, the girl that has moved in across the street.
Bruce is a detective, and is the expert on the Comfort Killer in the department. He is determined to catch the serial killer. His investigation brings him to the Tanner’s home. Now he must determine how Jason fits in with the Comfort Killer’s plans.
I liked the idea of the story. The author kept me guessing as to what was real and what wasn’t. I had a hard time getting into the book, though. It moved along ok, but I just found myself wanting to put it down and go do something else for a while. I never really connected with the characters. The story is told from three points of view: Jason’s, Boston’s and Bruce’s. It seemed like a surface telling, though. I didn’t feel what they were feeling or become invested in how things affected them. It did get a little better in the last couple chapters.
I was given a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

DiSemblance is a teen sci-fi book about boy, his brother, his father (who is the inventor of a secret hologram machine), the girl across the street, a serial killer, a detective, and how all of their lives are intertwined. The concept of the story is great. The layout of the story is good. The characters feeling like real people fall a bit short. The cover of the book makes you think the book is about the girl of the story but the main character seems to be the boy. The story jumps from first person view of one character to other frequently which is interesting but doesn't seem to help the story. The story had some good points but at times it was difficult to go on. I received this book in exchange for a fair review.

If something stinks these days, it’s either millions of salmonella-tainted eggs or Recovery Summer. Michael Ramirez, the indispensable editorial cartoonist of Investors Business Daily, puts the two together in what should be the poster for Joe Biden’s ridiculous PR campaign for Obamanomics, perhaps the most misguided political operation from the Oval Office since Gerald Ford’s Whip Inflation Now buttons. As always, Ramirez rewards those who pay close attention to the details:

Small turned box with top top
Here is a fun project to make and behold. The picture shows three of these boxes made from sugar maple.
The top of each box is a spinning top. Hence the title: Box with a top top.
In the picture the box on the right is actually upside down with the top spinning on the bottom of the box. Hope that is clear??
In a (much) earlier post I described how I made the tops. Each top takes about five minutes to make to completion.
The box takes longer as it must be measured as it is turned. Every time that the lathe is stopped it takes time.

The Main Line
The Main Line region was long part of Lenapehoking, the homeland of the matrilineal Lenni Lenape Native Americans (the "true people", or "Delaware Indians"). Europeans arrived in the 1600s, after William Penn sold a tract of land, called the Welsh Tract, to a group of Welsh Quakers in London in 1681. This accounts for the many Welsh place names in the area.
During the 19th century, the Pennsylvania Railroad built its main line as part of the Main Line of Public Works that spanned Pennsylvania. Later in the century, the railroad, which owned much of the land surrounding the tracks, encouraged the development of this picturesque environment by building way stations along the portion of its track closest to Philadelphia.
The benefits of what was touted as "healthy yet cultivated country living" attracted Philadelphia's social elite, many of whom had one house in the city and another larger "country home" on the Main Line.
In the 20th century, many wealthy Philadelphia families moved to the Main Line suburbs. Part of the national trend of suburbanization, this drove rapid investment, prosperity, and growth that turned the area into greater Philadelphia's most affluent and fashionable region.
Estates with sweeping lawns and towering maples, the débutante balls and the Merion Cricket Club, which drew crowds of 25,000 spectators to its matches in the early 1900s, were the setting for the 1940 Grant/Hepburn/Stewart motion picture The Philadelphia Story.
The railroad placed stops about two minutes apart, starting with Overbrook. The surrounding communities became known by the railroad station names which started at Broad Street Station in Center City Philadelphia and went on to 32nd Street Station (replaced by 30th Street Station in 1933), the 52nd Street Station (decommissioned), and then the Main Line stations: Overbrook, Merion, Narberth, Wynnewood, Ardmore, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Rosemont, Villanova, Radnor, St. Davids, Wayne, Strafford, Devon, Berwyn, Daylesford, Paoli.
At least five of these station buildings, along with the first Bryn Mawr Hotel, were designed by Wilson Brothers & Company.

Russia, Argentina Sign Nuclear Deals During Putin's Visit
Russia's President Vladimir Putin struck agreements on nuclear energy cooperation with Argentinian counterpart Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
Under the deals, the Russian company Rosatom is to take part in the construction of Atucha NPP's Unit 3.
Relations between the two countries are "strategic" ones, Argentinian daily Clarin quoted Putin as saying.
During a joint statement of the two leaders, he added Moscow and Buenos Aires "share a common vision on world development and international affairs".
The Russian President described the country as "one of [Russia's] main partners" in Latin America.
Kirchner, for her part, declared Argentina's desire "to deepen relations with Russia" and described the documents signed in the field of nuclear energy as "creating the basis for a solid cooperation".
Putin met Kirchner in Argentina's capital Buenos Aires as part of a his trip to Latin America.
He is also due to meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Brazil, as Merkel's spokesman was quoted as saying in a press conference.
Their "brief talks" might take place on the sidelines of the World Cup final on Sunday.
Apart from Russia's role as the next country to host the FIFA World Cup in 2018, another reason for Putin to stay in Brazil is the forthcoming BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) summit in the city of Fortaleza, which is to be held after the last match of the tournament.

Schizophreniform disorder is a psychotic disorder that impacts the way you think, act and express emotions.
It lasts for between one and six months, and following the conclusion of the sixth months, a patient is typically diagnosed with schizophrenia if they still demonstrate symptoms.
Example of schizophreniform disorder
A person with schizophreniform disorder may present symptoms in myriad ways. Common to all these presentations are a delusional mindset, jumbled communication, and a warped sense of reality.
A fictional example reads as follows. John, a 25-year-old professional, begins to experience significant changes in their thoughts, emotions and actions. The following behaviors are indicative of the potential presence of schizophreniform disorder.
- John starts to feel his friends and colleagues are conspiring against him.
- John experiences auditory hallucinations. These imaginary voices deride him and demand he exhibits negative behaviors, which overwhelms and distresses him.
- John’s speech becomes slurred and difficult for others to follow. He jumps between unrelated topics and can seem unhinged.
As a result of these symptoms, John may withdraw away from his friends, family and colleagues. His performance at work may suffer, and those close to him might encourage him to seek help. Following a consultation with a mental health professional, John is diagnosed with schizophreniform disorder.
Further consultation and observation are required to establish the appropriate treatment plan  for John. Treatment plans are usually comprised of a combination of antipsychotic medication, other drug treatments and psychosocial therapies.
If symptoms resolve, John will continue his treatment for a further 12 months, whilst being closely inspected for any return of psychotic symptoms.  If symptoms persist, a diagnosis of schizophrenia may be issued.
What symptoms are required for an official diagnosis of schizophreniform disorder?
The symptoms of schizophreniform disorder are similar to those experienced by sufferers of schizophrenia, however they persist for a shorter duration.
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), the diagnostic criteria for schizophreniform disorder include the following symptoms:
- Delusions: The person may hold strong and irrational beliefs that are not based on reality. For example, they might believe that they have special powers or that they are being persecuted by a specific group.
- Hallucinations: They may perceive things that are not actually there. Auditory hallucinations, such as hearing voices, are common in schizophreniform disorder. These voices can be critical, commanding, or conversational.
- Disorganized speech: Their speech may be disorganized and incoherent, making it difficult for others to understand them. They might switch topics abruptly or speak in a way that seems unrelated or nonsensical.
- Social withdrawal: Individuals with schizophreniform disorder may become increasingly isolated and withdraw from social interactions. They may lose interest in activities they once enjoyed and have difficulty connecting with others.
- Impaired thinking: They may have trouble focusing, concentrating, or organizing their thoughts. They might also experience difficulties with memory and decision-making.
- Negative symptoms: Negative symptoms refer to a reduction or absence of normal behaviors and emotions. These can include decreased motivation, stunted ability to experience pleasure, reduced speech output, and a dearth of emotional expression.
It’s important to remember that a person’s experience with schizophreniform disorder may vary, and a comprehensive evaluation by a qualified mental health professional is necessary for an accurate diagnosis.
Can schizophreniform disorder be prevented?
Currently there is no known way to prevent schizophreniform disorder. The cause of the disorder has not yet been verified, though it is considered to arise from a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Genetic factors may play a role, as there is some correlation between familial ancestors having schizophreniform or schizophrenia and diagnoses in successive generations. However, having a family history of schizophrenia or schizophreniform disorder does not guarantee that an individual will develop the condition.
Environmental factors, such as prenatal complications, exposure to certain viruses or infections during pregnancy, and psychosocial stressors, may also contribute to the development of schizophreniform disorder.

Longtime Free State teacher Nancy Hopkins looks back on 44 years in Lawrence schools
Nancy Hopkins doesn’t care much for convention. Never has.
While growing up a “tomboy” in Emporia, conventional wisdom dictated that girls shouldn’t play sports. Hopkins did anyway, matriculating to Emporia State University and playing outside hitter and shortstop for her school’s volleyball and softball teams.
After graduating from Emporia State, Hopkins took a job as a physical education teacher at West Junior High in Lawrence. Her young female students had no athletic outlet aside from cheerleading, so she broke again from conventional wisdom and, with the help of her colleagues, helped to bring girls’ sports programs to Lawrence’s middle schools at a time — 1973, a year after the passage of Title IX — when there were none.
That first year, Hopkins’ volleyball players wore their gym uniforms with the numbers taped on, because they had no official team uniforms. They were a ragtag bunch — Hopkins and her colleagues accepted anyone who wanted to be on the team — but she and her “smiling” girls didn’t care much, “just because we wanted to play,” she says.
“I think I’ve done a lot of things that give me a sense of pride,” says Hopkins, 65, who retires this summer after 44 years teaching in Lawrence Public Schools.
“That’s one of them, certainly, because those are opportunities that I didn’t have,” Hopkins says of creating the district’s first sports programs for middle school girls, efforts she led with fellow junior-high PE teachers Carol Church and Donna Largent, nee Wooden.
Of all the faculty members retiring this summer from Lawrence Public Schools, Hopkins has had the longest tenure in the district. With her long career finally winding down, the former Free State High School volleyball coach and PE teacher says she’s “getting a lot of love right now.” After 44 years, Hopkins says, “I’ve come into contact with a lot of people.”
Her first ninth-graders at West Junior High are in their late 50s now. A scary thought, Hopkins admits jokingly.
“And I’ve had second-generation students for years, and even third-generation,” she says, reflecting on her career at Free State. “Every year, there’s kids who come up to me and say, ‘Do you remember so-and-so? That’s my mom,’ or, ‘That’s my dad,’ or, ‘You had both my mom and dad.’ Maybe that’s a sign you’ve been here too long.”
Or maybe it’s a sign that Hopkins has made an impression on her students over the years, in her own no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is teaching and coaching style that has continued to defy convention in her time at Free State.
Hopkins, who retired two years ago as Free State’s longtime volleyball coach, knows well the “good ol’ boys system” that dominates the sports world. It was around when she was a little girl in Emporia, and it’s still around now, even amid a generation of young women who grew up playing competitive sports, Hopkins says.
“And sometimes as a coach, even as a female coach, you can kind of become engrained into that good ol’ boys system,” she says. “But I kind of kept my distance, because I don’t want to be one of the good ol’ boys — I want to be somebody who accepts everybody.”
In her 44 years in the Lawrence district, that’s what Hopkins has done.
When one of Hopkins’ students, a girl living with cerebral palsy, couldn’t do sit-ups on her own, Hopkins patiently held the student’s feet and helped her through the exercises until she could do it herself. On Fridays, while everyone else ran 2 miles, that student only ran 1 — but, Hopkins says, “she would do it” on her own, and because she wanted to. That “awesome” girl, Hopkins says, “is now a teacher of cerebral palsy kids just like her” in Lee’s Summit, Mo. Hopkins knows because she still receives a letter from her former student every Christmas.
Another student, who was deaf, played volleyball under Hopkins at West before competing on Lawrence High School’s softball team and then for her college’s team. Fifteen or so years later, Hopkins received a Christmas card — are you guessing a theme here? — from that student, telling her she’d since become the head softball coach at Fordham University.
And when one student contacted her after several years, saying he’d be in Lawrence for a few days and wanted to grab lunch, Hopkins heard a story she’d since forgotten. One day, as Hopkins tells it, she was walking through the hall when she overheard one student using a gay slur against another. “You ripped him a new one,” the kid recounted to her years later while at lunch.
“And I said, ‘I did? I don’t even remember that,’ and he said, ‘Oh, I’ll never forget it,” Hopkins recalls. “And he said, ‘You showed me that there was an adult in the building that was on my side.'”
“That’s because I’ve been there,” Hopkins, who is openly gay, remembers telling the student. Though outspoken when it counts, Hopkins prefers to think things over thoroughly before speaking, she says. But the longtime educator also has “no qualms,” she says, about being there for her students — and relating on a personal level — when it counts.
One of her proudest achievements while at Free State, she says, has been establishing an LGBT section in the school’s library, which she did in 2015. It was initiative Hopkins led herself, emailing authors asking if they could help. Soon, the donations began pouring in, and Hopkins had received so many books — more than 500, by her count — that she ended up with duplicates, which she later gifted to Lawrence High.
“I wanted them to feel accepted, and I wanted them to have characters in their books that they could relate to,” Hopkins says of Free State’s LGBT students. “I wanted them to have more information about themselves, because that wasn’t available to me.”
Those in the Free State community might also recognize Hopkins’ go-getter spirit in the school’s cardio room, which basically functions as a small fitness center — complete with treadmills, elliptical machines and a small fleet of shiny yellow stationary bikes — for students and staff. Hopkins raised the money to renovate and equip the room all on her own.
Years ago, the space existed as a meeting room for the school’s football team, who would gather there to watch game footage. It was filled with couches brought from players’ garages and basements, and it permanently “stunk,” Hopkins says, with the smell of sweat that had seeped into the grungy furniture. The room also became an overstuffed storage closet for surplus athletic gear, she says, some of it broken.
“It just became a junk pile,” Hopkins says. “So, I thought, ‘There’s got to be a better use for that room.'”
When administration said there weren’t any funds to pay for the renovations and equipment Hopkins proposed for the space, she began to raise the money on her own by reaching out to former volleyball players and their parents. That helped, and so did the estimated $22,000 to $30,000 Free State, under the leadership of then-principal Ed West, eventually put toward the cardio room.
But it wasn’t enough, and Hopkins soon began an ambitious campaign to secure the necessary funds. She reached out to celebrities, receiving donations — often in the form of autographed memorabilia — from athletes such as Tiger Woods, Barry Sanders and Joe Namath, and Hollywood power players such as Elizabeth Taylor, Denzel Washington and Jim Carrey. Hopkins seems especially proud of the gift she received from Yoko Ono: an iPod engraved with a message of peace and love from Ono herself.
After auctioning the items in 2012, Hopkins estimates she’s raised about $70,000 total for the cardio room.
“It’s pretty amazing,” she says, especially seeing the students who otherwise might be intimidated by fitness learn to love it. “We have classes in there every day. And I’ve had kids in that class tell me that they’ve quit smoking, that they’ve lost anywhere from 10 to 30 pounds in a semester. I’ve had pregnant kids in there working out until the day they had their baby. But they’re getting exercise. Isn’t that what it’s all about?
“To me,” she says, “that’s a success.”
Hopkins says she’s known the difference it’s made to her students. But last week, during a staff luncheon at Free State, Hopkins says she felt truly validated when her peers presented her with a plaque — “Nancy Hopkins Cardio Room,” it read. Because of her efforts, the sign now hangs in that room.
After retirement, Hopkins plans to do some substitute teaching. Not very often, she says, but enough to keep her hand in, when she’s not hitting the links. Hopkins knows she’ll miss “the kids,” as she lovingly refers to them, the most.
She’s accomplished a lot in her 44 years, and she’s proud of that. Because of her efforts, girls now have a chance to play sports competitively in the district’s middle schools. Athletes and nonathletes alike have the chance to get healthy in the Nancy Hopkins Cardio Room. And young LGBT students can now see themselves represented in the books they read in their school library.
All are points of pride for Hopkins, she says, in a career well spent. But, above all else, “I think I’m just proud of the fact that I chose a profession that, to me, is very satisfying,” although not financially, Hopkins says, “and has afforded me relationships that I will have for the rest of my life.”
“Those two things are worth way more than money,” Hopkins knows. “So, I’m good.”
“I have loved it,” she adds. “For 44 years, I’ve loved it.”

Coronavirus: USA could never handle Wuhan-like outbreak since only 35% hospital beds are available daily
If a Wuhan-like outbreak were to happen in an American city, the hospitals would be too overwhelmed to handle the crisis. That is the chilling conclusion of a new study by US researchers.
The first case of COVID-19 in the US was announced on January 21, 2020, in Washington. Since then, the numbers have gone up significantly across the country. According to figures updated till March 11, over 1,300 have fallen sick, and at least 38 have died.
“If a Wuhan-like outbreak were to take place in a US city, even with strong social distancing and contact tracing protocols as strict as the Wuhan lockdown, hospitalization and ICU needs from COVID-19 patients alone may exceed current capacity,” says the researchers in their findings, a pre-print version of which has been published.
They add, “even after the lockdown of Wuhan on January 23, the number of seriously ill COVID-19 patients continued to rise, exceeding local hospitalization and ICU capacities for at least a month. During the peak of the Wuhan epidemic in February, nearly 20,000 COVID-19 patients were hospitalized simultaneously, with 10,000 in severe or critical conditions.”
The team includes experts from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston; Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland; Harvard Medical School, Boston; and Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China.
On any normal day, the occupancy rate of hospital beds in the US is about 65.5%, shows an estimate by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Matt Boyce, a senior research associate at the Georgetown University Center for Global Health Science and Security, who was not involved in the study, agrees with the study’s conclusion.
“Yes, should a Wuhan-scale outbreak occur in any city — including those in the US — the local healthcare system would likely be overwhelmed,” Boyce told MEA WorldWide (MEAWW).
He said that many hospitals try to plan for something called “surge capacity,” which is an important part of preparedness for responding to emergencies and disasters. It essentially focuses on the ability of a healthcare system to provide medical care with sudden increases in the number of patients.
“The implementation of non-pharmaceutical interventions such as canceling or altering large public events or closing schools and businesses can work to reduce the burden felt by healthcare systems. Though unlikely to immediately halt an outbreak, they can reduce the number of patients presenting at the same time so that systems can adequately address the public health emergency. Lessons from past outbreaks suggest that these interventions can be especially effective when implemented quickly and in combination with other interventions,” Boyce told MEAWW.
In the current study, the team describes the intensive care unit (ICU) and in-patient bed needs for confirmed COVID-19 patients in two Chinese cities (Wuhan and Guangzhou) from January 10 to February 29 and compares the timing of disease control measures in relation to the timing of COVID-19 community spread.
“We estimated the peak ICU bed needs in US cities if a Wuhan-like outbreak occurs. Describing and comparing the resource needs in both cities may serve as benchmarks to help other large metropolises in the world prepare for potential outbreaks,” they explain.
The analysis shows that in Wuhan, strict disease control measures were implemented six weeks after sustained local transmission of COVID-19.
The analysis shows that COVID-19 accounted for a total of 32,486 ICU-days and 176,136 serious in-patient days between January 10 and February 29. This is an average of 637 ICU patients and 3,454 serious in-patients on each day over those 51 days.
The researchers explain that during the peak of the epidemic from mid to late February, a maximum of 19,425 patients (24.5 per 10,000 adults) were hospitalized, 9,689 patients (12.2 per 10,000 adults) were considered to be in “serious” condition, and 2,087 patients (2.6 per 10,000 adults) needed critical care per day.
The team says in Guangzhou, strict disease control measures were implemented within one week of case importation. COVID-19 accounted for a total of 318 ICU-days and 724 in-patient-days between January 24 and February 29. This is an average of 9 ICU patients and 20 in-patients during that 37-day period.
“During the peak of the epidemic (early February), 15 patients were in critical condition, while 38 were hospitalized and classified as serious. Unlike Wuhan, where patients with mild COVID-19 disease were isolated in quarantine centers and not in designated hospitals, all confirmed patients in Guangzhou were hospitalized until cure. The maximum number of hospitalizations in Guangzhou on any day was 271 patients,” says the study.
According to the research team, based on these findings, the projected number of prevalent critically ill patients at the peak of a Wuhan-like outbreak in US cities ranges from 2.1 to 4.0 per 10,000 adults “when we took into account the difference in age distribution.”
“The projected number of prevalent critically ill patients at the peak of a Wuhan-like outbreak in US cities ranges from 2.6 to 4.9 per 10,000 adults when we took into account the differences in comorbidity (hypertension) prevalence,” says the team.
The researchers further say if a Wuhan-like outbreak were to happen in a US city, the need for healthcare resources may be higher in cities where there is a higher prevalence of vulnerable populations (age and comorbidity) than in Wuhan.
“Exceeding healthcare capacity may increase the community spread of SARS-CoV-2,” they say. The team explains because of the exponential increase in the number of patients who developed serious illness but could not be hospitalized due to capped capacity, secondary transmission in the community continued as patients and their household contacts moved between hospitals seeking care.
“Exceeding healthcare capacity may also lead to decreased quality of care, such as not being able to get access to a ventilator, which would lead to an increased case fatality ratio,” says the study.
Some alarming numbers
According to Liz Specht, associate director of science and technology at The Good Food Institute, the US can expect that it will continue to see a doubling of cases every 6 days.
“This is a typical doubling time across several epidemiological studies. Here I mean actual cases. Confirmed cases may appear to rise faster in the short term due to new test kit rollouts. We’re looking at about 1M (million) US cases by the end of April, 2M by about May 5, 4M by about May 11, and so on. Exponentials are hard to grasp, but this is how they go,” she tweets.
Specht explains that as the healthcare system begins to saturate under this caseload, it will become increasingly hard to detect, track, and contain new transmission chains.
To explain what does caseload implies for the healthcare system, she analyzed two factors — hospital beds and masks — among several other things that are expected to be impacted.
“The US has about 2.8 hospital beds per 1,000 people. With a population of 330M, this is about 1M beds. At any given time, 65% of those beds are already occupied. That leaves about 330k beds available nationwide (perhaps a bit fewer this time of year with regular flu season, etc),” says the expert.
Let’s trust Italy’s numbers and assume that about 10% of cases are serious enough to require hospitalization. (Keep in mind that for many patients, hospitalization lasts for weeks — in other words, turnover will be very slow as beds fill with COVID-19 patients).
Specht argues that according to this estimate, by about May 8, all open hospital beds in the US will be filled. “This says nothing, of course, about whether these beds are suitable for isolation of patients with a highly infectious virus. If we’re wrong by a factor of two regarding the fraction of severe cases, that only changes the timeline of bed saturation by 6 days in either direction. If 20% of cases require hospitalization, we run out of beds by about May 2,” says Specht.
She adds, “If only 5% of cases require it, we can make it until May 14th. 2.5% gets us to May 20. This, of course, assumes that there is no uptick in demand for beds from other (non-COVID-19) causes, which seems like a dubious assumption.”
The expert warns that as the healthcare system becomes increasingly burdened, people with chronic conditions — which are normally well-managed — may find themselves slipping into severe states of medical distress, requiring intensive care and hospitalization.
“Undeserved panic does no one any good. But neither does ill-informed complacency,” Specht says.
“We've dealt with natural disasters and high casualties many times before. Our health system can adapt. But in most of these cases, we adapt by bringing in resources and personnel from unaffected cities, states, even countries. It becomes much, much harder to compensate for a sudden increase in caseload when this is happening simultaneously not only in every major city and state in one country, but also across virtually every country globally now,” she says.

Anaerobic digestion is one of the most widespread technologies for sludge treatment, the by-product of wastewater treatment, in which a methane-rich biogas stream is produced. When scaled-up, transport phenomena become more important and the relation between full-scale flow patterns and biogas yield is still not well understood. Since the digester sludge behaves as a non-Newtonian fluid, ensuring homogeneous properties in the whole full-scale digester becomes a challenge and recent literature suggest that it might be not optimal for biogas production.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling techniques allows us to develop a more in-depth understanding of full-scale systems by studying its flow field. Additionally, it enables for the first time to simultaneously study the interaction between (bio)chemical reactions and hydrodynamics. In the first part of the project, a sludge rheological mimicking fluid (Carbopol) will be used to study in-depth the mechanisms of energy dissipation in general non-Newtonian fluids. In the second part, a full-scale CFD model will be built to study the flow behaviour of an existing cylindrical digester in a Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF).
Within this project, special attention is paid to
Properly calibrating and evaluating all CFD submodels (density, viscosity, type of turbulence, etc.) for a hydrofoil mechanical mixer.
Evaluate the CFD model performance by comparing the results with Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) hydrodynamic data at different locations around the impeller.
An important outcome of this project is to assess the quality of the data and to give quantitative reasons for CFD submodel selection. The project will work with OpenFOAM® (an open-source CFD toolbox) and all the results will be available in the UGent project repository (on GitHub) that will allow the users to valorise code.

KITH simply opened a sprawling 5,500 sq. foot house on Rodeo Drive that’s its second Los Angeles location. Understandably, it was additionally the inspiration for its spring assortment. “If you happen to take a look at the shop, you’ll see lots of travertine and these totally different shade marbles,” KITH’s inventive director Ronnie Fieg defined over Zoom the day after the shop’s opening social gathering. “The monochrome really feel of the gathering, the beige, the lighter colours, and textures, however extra importantly, the luxe really feel of what we did on Rodeo actually speaks to the attire.”
For just a few seasons now, Fieg has positioned an emphasis on KITH’s materials and supplies to intently replicate his personal private pursuits and mirror his private model. “When folks take into consideration me and the model, I really need them to begin listening to the materials, and for us to be identified for our materials,” Fieg stated. “I by no means need to cost for the emblem.”
This was evident within the Bulgarian pinstripe double weave material, which the model has been working with for just a few seasons now. Fieg considers it to be a part of KITH’s “suiting” vary—and it’s proven to full impact within the final look of the gathering. A brief sleeve shirt and matching trousers was made in a black with grey pinstripes. The shirt was worn open, as a jacket, over a white t-shirt and a vest. It’s all a really relaxed magnificence.
Patchwork was an enormous theme this season, and was most profitable within the knitwear, together with the cardigans constructed from panels of various knit gauges: skinny ribs, cable knits, and so forth, one in shades of tan, oatmeal, and off-white, and one other in a delightful palette of sunshine aqua, lime, and grey. Elsewhere, a patchworked suede jacket had been handled to realize a rib texture that appeared like corduroy at first look. “It’s the identical suede imported from the UK that’s used for Clarks; they use this suede on their wallabies, so we took that material and utilized it to the jacket,” Fieg defined. “It’s most likely essentially the most luxe piece of outerwear within the assortment.” Clarks has lengthy been a collaborator with KITH, and this season, Fieg took that collaboration a step additional by bringing Adidas into the combination. His tackle the ever-popular Adidas Samba shoe options Clarks’s trademark crepe sole.
Paisley prints are a go-to in KITH collections and there have been a lot of them right here. A light-weight jacket and matching shorts constructed from quilted light-weight cotton poplin (worn beneath a utilitarian jacket for a little bit of edge) was printed with a kind of overcrowded paisley, like a vine left unattended.

Beneath, a navy and white intarsia knit additionally showcased the signature curvilinear shapes of a paisley print, pushed even additional into new territory.

I've eaten here before for dinner and enjoyed the food, recognizing it as a value product well worth paying a premium for. When I visited yesterday 11/9/13 for lunch I expected the same value but was seriously unimpressed. For some reason the "hot off the grill" menu was covered up so they were only serving sandwiches and soups/salads. As I was reviewing the menu the waitress advised my ordering their most popular "nutty chicken salad" (for now $9.75) sandwich. My brother ordered the Tuna Salad Sandwich ($7.5), coming to around $18.27 with tax. The cold sandwiches served with chips(pickle) were just average size (both tuna/chicken salad), nothing special with preparation so it's hard to understand the large price premium especially when one could buy a large tuna/chicken salad hoagie at Kellel's Korner for only $7.25. Overall, I will not visit nor recommend to our renters a trip there for lunch again.
