Family Photos on The Beach | Juno January 4, 2013
When I hear the words, “family”, “photos”, and “beach” used all together, I cringe. All I can think of is matching outfits, pleated pants and footprints in the sand. However, if I could guarantee every family I photographed on the beach was as adorably stylish as the one above, I would change my name to Jessica Lorren Organic Family Photography on The Beach. It’s would be a mouthful but it would be worth it. I seriously loved every single minute I spent photographing this little family of three (soon-to-be four). Could they be any cuter?

Cuthbert-Flynn pulling on Olympic experience
Like she did during her second Olympic Games in Seoul in 1988, Juliet Cuthbert-Flynn is approaching her second general election with a sense of composure.
Cuthbert-Flynn, who won two silver medals at the Barcelona Games in 1992, told The Gleaner that the experience she garnered in 2016, when she brushed aside the People’s National Party’s then incumbent Paul Buchanan by 2,225 votes, has been useful in her battle with exciting new contender Krystal Tomlinson.
“Having won the last time, I got the chance to prepare for this election, and like every Olympic cycle, I didn’t just show up at the Games and run. I prepared for four years, and that is what I have done in the constituency of West Rural St Andrew,” Cuthbert-Flynn said. “The work I would have done is try to meet the needs of the people in my constituency and the things that I said that I would deliver.”
She continued: “Not everybody is pleased, but my experience in track and field also enables me to be comfortable with that, because not every training session went the way that we planned. I got injured along the way, and sometimes it was raining and I couldn’t train as I wanted to, but you have to make the adjustment.”
Cuthbert-Flynn’s experience as a former athlete is also helping to deal with Tomlinson who, with her popularity and youthfulness, has been making waves on the campaign trail.
“I am approaching this new challenge the same way I dealt with any new person who was trying to come and take my spot at Olympic trials. We have heard a lot of time that this person is going to be the next Merlene Ottey, and it never came to past. So, it is the same thing; people will come up and you have to know their strengths and their weaknesses, and you work along those lines,” she said.
Although she is composed, Cuthbert-Flynn says that she is still experiencing pre-race jitters as she is eager to continue the work to bring comfort to the people of the constituency.
“The Jamaica Labour Party and Prime Minister Andrew Holness has a lot of work to do and I am doing my best to make sure that the needs of my constituents are met,” she said.

A panel of EU privacy watchdogs has demanded changes to a pact meant to govern cross-Atlantic data transfers.
The group urged the US and European Commission to revise and clarify several points in the proposed Privacy Shield agreement in order to safeguard EU citizens' personal information.
The Privacy Shield is meant to replace an earlier data transfer pact called Safe Harbour.
Safe Harbour was invalidated by a court decision last year.
The Article 29 Data Protection Working Party said it was still concerned about the possibility of "massive and indiscriminate" bulk collection of EU citizens' data by the US authorities.
It added that it wanted further guarantees about the powers a US official would have to handle complaints from EU citizens.
"We believe that we don't have enough security [or] guarantees in the status of the ombudsperson and in their effective powers to be sure that this is really an independent authority," said Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, the chairwoman of the group.
The group's recommendations are not binding on the EU or US, but should prove influential as the watchdogs can suspend data transfers they are concerned about.
"I am grateful to the experts for their thorough analysis," responded Vera Jourova, European Commissioner for Justice.
"[They provided] a number of useful recommendations and the Commission will work to swiftly include them in its final decision."
The European Court of Justice effectively brought an end to Safe Habour in October when it ruled that the pact did not eliminate the need for local watchdogs to check that US firms were protecting Europeans' data.
The agreement had been used for 15 years to allow American firms to self-certify that they were carrying out the necessary steps.
But a privacy campaigner challenged the process after whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed details about US authorities spying on foreign citizens' data held in the country.
The EU privacy regulators are concerned that a similar challenge could be brought against the proposed Privacy Shield unless its language is toughened up.
Earlier in the week, Microsoft had endorsed Privacy Shield on the basis that the US could take "additional steps" to protect data at a later point.
One US-based lawyer expressed concern that the matter had not been resolved.
"The working party's opinion today can really be summed up in two words: transatlantic chaos," said Phil Lee from the law firm Fieldfisher.
"If the Privacy Shield doesn't get adopted, countless US businesses will be left scratching their heads in wonder as to how they can continue to service their EU customers lawfully.
"The working party's opinion creates a real problem for the commission. Does it go against the view of the working party and adopt the Privacy Shield anyway? Or does it go back to the drawing table with the US Department of Commerce and try to negotiate a better deal?"
An Edinburgh-based lawyer echoed his concern.
"The reality is that international transfers of data are vital to economic growth and there needs to be a pragmatic solution adopted by the courts, policy makers and data protection authorities to recognise this," said Kathryn Wynn, a data protection expert at the law firm Pinsent Masons.
But Max Schrems - the campaigner who challenged Safe Harbour - welcomed the latest development.
"I personally doubt that the European Commission will change its plans much," he said.
"There will be some political wording, but I think they will still push it through.
"Given the negative opinion, a challenge to the Privacy Shield at the courts is even more promising. Privacy Shield is a total failure that is kept alive because of extensive pressure by the US government and some sectors of the industry."

Paris Jackson's acting dreams are creating a family nightmare!
Janet Jackson is "furious" that her late brother Michael Jackson's daughter, 14, accepted a role in the 2014 film "Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys," a source tells Us Weekly.
"She feels it goes against Michael's wishes to keep his kids out of the limelight until age 18," adds the insider. "Janet thinks Paris should enjoy being a kid and possibly go to college."
But Paris is "hoping for more roles," says the source. "It's a huge dispute!"
The "Nasty" singer reportedly told her niece, "You're only a child once."

High efficiency Cement mill, 1)reduce consumption by 30% 2)40 years experience 3)increase capacity by 15-20% 4)OEM
Usage of cement mill:
Cement mill also named as , raw material mill, material grinding mill and clinker mill, is the key equipment for grinding after the crush process, which is widely used in the manufacture industries, such as cement, silicate, new building material, refractory material, fertilizer, ferrous metal, nonferrous metal and glass ceramics, and can be used for the dry and wet grinding for all kinds of ores and other grind-able materials.
Structure of cement mill:
Cement Mill is composed of feeding part, discharging part, turning part and driving part (reducer, small driving gear, electric motor and electric control). The quill shaft adopts cast steel part and the liner is detachable. The turning gearwheel adopts casting hobbing process and the drum is equipped with wear-resistant liner, which has good wear-resistance. The machine is with stable and reliable working condition. Moreover, according to different materials and discharging methods, there are dry ball mills and wet ball mills for choice.
Cement Mill Features:
1)It is an efficient tool for grinding many materials into fine powder.
2) The ball mill is used to grind many kinds of mine and other materials, or to select the mine
3) Ball mill is widely used in building material, and chemical industry.
4) There are two ways of grinding: the dry way and the wet way.
5) Ball mill can be divided into tabular type and flowing type according to differentexpelling mine
6) To use the ball mill, the material to be ground is loaded into the neoprene barrel that contains grinding media.
7) As the barrel rotates, the material is crushed between the individual pieces of grinding media that mix and crush the product into fine powder over a period of several hours.
8) The longer the ball mill runs, the finer the powder will be.
9) Ultimate particle size depends entirely on how hard the material you're grinding is, and the time how long the ball mill runs.
10) Our ball mills have been used to grind glass, powder food products, create custom varnishes, make ceramic glaze, powder various chemicals.
Cement mill Working Principle:
The cement mill is a horizontal rotating device transmitted by the outer gear. The materials are transferred to the grinding chamber through the quill shaft uniformly. There are ladder liner and ripple liner and different specifications of steel balls in the chamber. The centrifugal force caused by rotation of barrel brings the steel balls to a certain height and impact and grind the materials. The ground materials are discharged through the discharging board thus the grinding process is finished.

Four times the size of California, off the coast of Hawaii.
In a move that is being hailed as cementing his conservation legacy, Obama has, with the stroke of his pen, expanded a national marine monument off the coast of Hawaii to over 582,578 square miles. This move will, however, destroy commercial fishing and potential drilling and mineral collection in a vast expanse of our waters.
President Obama on Friday morning created a massive national monument off the coast of his native Hawaii, the world’s largest protected area.
The declaration expands more than threefold the size of the Papahānaumokuāke Marine National Monument, surrounding the outlying northwestern Hawaiian islands.
The move in Obama’s final months further cements his legacy of using unilateral executive authority to protect far more land and water as national monuments than any other president.
“The expansion provides critical protections for more than 7,000 marine species, including whales and sea turtles listed under the Endangered Species Act and the longest-living marine species in the world — black coral, which have been found to live longer than 4,500 years,” the White House said early Friday morning.
To give some perspective on the size of the newly expanded monument, Pew Charitable Trust explains that the newly protected area is almost four times the size of California.
Some Hawaiian Democrats are thrilled with the move.
The Hill continues:
The announcement came two days after Obama created a massive new national monument in Maine’s north woods.
The boundaries for the protected area, along with rules allowing some recreational fishing, research and education there, were proposed by Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii).
“This is one of the most important actions an American president has ever taken for the health of the oceans,” Schatz said in a statement. “Expanding Papahanaumokuakea will replenish stocks of ‘ahi, promote biodiversity, fight climate change, and give a greater voice to Native Hawaiians in managing this resource.”
Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) also praised Obama.
“President Obama’s efforts to enhance protections for our ocean ecosystem will help to combat climate change, preserve biodiversity, and honor cultural traditions,” she said. “As part of his announcement, I appreciate the President’s recognition of the importance of commercial fishing to Hawaii’s way of life and our shared goal of supporting Hawaii’s sustainable pelagic fisheries.”
The following video provides further information about the expanded marine preserve.
Touting the move as not only a means of protecting marine life, the White House explains that this will also provide scientists a place to study the “impact of climate change.”
Not everyone is thrilled, however, because this move will effectively end all commercial and limit recreational fishing in the vast expanse of ocean, as well as any mineral or oil, etc. collection or extraction.
“The expansion provides critical protections for more than 7,000 marine species … [and] will allow scientists to monitor and explore the impacts of climate change on these fragile ecosystems,” the White House said in a statement, citing the support of Sen. Brian Schatz and “prominent Native Hawaiian leaders.”
But the decision drew sharp criticism from the fishing industry and even fellow Democrats, as it will drastically expand the area where commercial fishing and drilling is banned.
Former Democratic Gov. George Ariyoshi said at a rally last month that it came down to the question of who actually owned the ocean.
“The ocean belongs to us,” Ariyoshi reportedly said. “We ought to be the ones who decide what kind of use to make of the ocean.”
Representatives from the fishing industry warn the move will increase prices and imports, The Honolulu Star Advertiser reported. All commercial extraction activities will be prohibited within the area, though non-commercial fishing is allowed by permit.
Regarding the many touting this as an important contribution to Obama’s legacy, the chairman of the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council says it serves Obama’s “political legacy” rather than one based in conservation.
Fox News continues:
The regional council that manages U.S. waters in the Pacific Islands said the decision “serves a political legacy” rather than a conservation benefit.
“Closing 60 percent of Hawaii’s waters to commercial fishing, when science is telling us that it will not lead to more productive local fisheries, makes no sense,” said Edwin Ebiusi Jr., chairman of the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council. “Today is a sad day in the history of Hawaii’s fisheries and a negative blow to our local food security.”
With this move, Fox News reports that Obama “will have created or expanded 26 national monuments. The administration said Obama has protected more acreage through national monument designations than any other president.”
As with the designation of “the world’s largest marine sanctuary,” Obama’s creation, two days earlier, of a massive monument in the Maine woods was met with resistance and concerns about American jobs and local economies.
Fox News continues:
The announcement came after Obama used his executive authority to create the National Park Service’s newest national monument at Katahdin Woods and Waters in Maine. The new monument was created as part of the 100th anniversary of the creation of the National Park Service.
The White House said the monument will protect 87,500 acres and will bolster the forest’s resilience against the impact of climate change.
The monument’s creation, though, was opposed by state lawmakers and critics who warn it will hinder efforts to rebuild a forest-based economy in the region.
“President Obama is once again taking unilateral action against the will of the people, this time the citizens of rural Maine,” Republican Gov. Paul LePage said. “The Legislature passed a resolution opposing a National Monument in the North Woods, members of Maine’s Congressional delegation opposed it and local citizens voted against it repeatedly.”
The move also was opposed by Sen. Susan Collins and Rep. Bruce Poliquin, both Republicans.
“Our local job creators—not Washington bureaucrats—know best how to use our working forests and provide proper access for industries to create more jobs including those in the outdoor recreation businesses, like snowmobiling, hunting, rafting, camping and so on,” Poliquin said in a statement.

After a quiet, relaxing Christmas morning, Attila and I were ready for action! And action is what we got. Luna, Janus, and the Grandbabies arrived for Christmas dinner. They stayed until yesterday morning, but truth be told, it felt as if they came and went in just a few hours, the time passed to happily and swiftly.
Imp and Elf and Tink liked the gifts we gave them, which always feels good. One of the gifts was a $10 gift card for Walmart. So on Boxing Day off we went to Walmart to see about spending the $10. The trip turned out to be more of a lesson on how little one can buy for $10! Imp found one small item that she liked, on which to spend a portion of the $10. Elf could find nothing he wanted in the $10 range. Tink had some of her allowance to spend as well, so she found a craft kits that she liked, and bought it.
Of interest to Attila and I, is that the toys at Walmart were very “junky” compared to those at the Mastermind Toys Store where we bought their Christmas Presents, were mostly cheap plastic, and most of them cost, for one item, the same amount of money that we spend on food for the week. We will definitely be visiting the Mastermind Toys Store again!
Imp remembered that we tried to make paper airplanes to throw into the bonfire earlier in December at Luna’s place. We didn’t have much success, as none of us had a pattern. Imp must have done some research to surprise me! She asked me for a piece of paper, and this is what she left for me!
Tink enjoyed drawing with chalk on the chalkboard. She drew a beautiful butterfly for us! She also drew a great caterpillar.
On Boxing Day morning Elf was curious about what I do on the internet. So I showed him this online journal. He wanted to write something in the journal, so he dictated and I typed. I corrected three instances of grammar, and other than that, these are his very words.
Elf: On Living in Ireland last summer.
One day a family was hiking up Mount Donegal. It was a rainy day. We were starting to walk beside a river. The water was very very clean and there was birds and all that. We would hop on the rocks when there was lots of rocks. We had so much fun jumping on the rocks.
One time I saw a bridge, it was very cool and went over the river. It was very rocky. I think we could see rocks like sand in the river from years and years of the rock going away. We couldn’t see the top of the mountain, it was so cloudy at the top.
So we climbed up more of the mountain, and it got beautifuler and beautifuler. You could see more and more of the water in the ocean. When we got up to a place, we had to stop because we didn’t have very much trail left. So we decided to walk on the rocks on the river for half the hike. I would do a whole bunch of silly stuff on the rocks, like meditating, and saying “it’s my teensy island”.
On the way up we could see a quarry where people used to mine. There were little old cabins made of cobblestone. A river would flow into the quarry. It was cool.
The more we got up the mountain it got foggier and foggier and boggier and boggier. We had lunch at a very long and big wall, that went all the way over the twelve bends. We went to almost the top, until one of us needed to use the loo, so we had to go down. But is was a glory to see all the things we saw on our trip.
We all had a lovely time!

The Children’s Hour
Between the dark and the daylight,
When the night is beginning to lower,
Comes a pause in the day’s occupations,
That is known as the Children’s Hour.
I hear in the chamber above me
The patter of little feet,
The sound of a door that is opened,
And voices soft and sweet.
From my study I see in the lamplight,
Descending the broad hall stair,
Grave Alice, and laughing Allegra,
And Edith with golden hair.
A whisper, and then a silence:
Yet I know by their merry eyes
They are plotting and planning together
To take me by surprise.
A sudden rush from the stairway,
A sudden raid from the hall!
By three doors left unguarded
They enter my castle wall!
They climb up into my turret
O’er the arms and back of my chair;
If I try to escape, they surround me;
They seem to be everywhere.
They almost devour me with kisses,
Their arms about me entwine,
Till I think of the Bishop of Bingen
In his Mouse-Tower on the Rhine!
Do you think, o blue-eyed banditti,
Because you have scaled the wall,
Such an old mustache as I am
Is not a match for you all!
I have you fast in my fortress,
And will not let you depart,
But put you down into the dungeon
In the round-tower of my heart.
And there will I keep you forever,
Yes, forever and a day,
Till the walls shall crumble to ruin,
And moulder in dust away!!

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 04/07/14 -- Caledonia Mining Corporation (TSX:CAL)(OTCQX:CALVF)(AIM:CMCL) ("Caledonia") announces gold production from its 49 per cent owned subsidiary, the Blanket Mine ("Blanket") in Zimbabwe, for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. All production numbers are expressed on a 100 per cent basis and are based on mine production data and are therefore subject to change following final assay at the refiner.
-- 10,607 ounces of gold were produced during Q1 2014 (10,472 ounces in Q1 2013), representing a 7.2 per cent decrease on the gold produced in Q4 2013 (11,429 ounces). -- As advised in the 2013 results which were released on March 31, 2014 gold production in the first quarter of 2014 was affected by the achieved grade being lower than the targeted grade of 3.83 g/t Au. This was due to a sub-horizontal fault which was encountered at the AR South ore body between 680 and 695 meters below surface and which had displaced the ore zone to the west and south. Production on these panels was stopped and re-development was required to establish other panels at the required grade. Management believes that the above measures have been successful and that an average head grade of between 3.60 to 3.83 g/t Au is expected to be maintained, and closer attention will be paid to grade control in future. Production in February 2014 was also adversely affected by an unstable mains power supply and by the unscheduled requirement to replace the winding rope on No. 4 Shaft. -- Targeted gold production for 2014 is maintained at 48,000 ounces

Diamond Maintenance Award for Air Evac Lifeteam
Air Evac Lifeteam has staked its claim as now being the largest Part 135 aviation operator to receive a Diamond Maintenance Award from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA’s St Louis Flight Standards District Office presented the award on 14 March at the air ambulance provider’s corporate headquarters in O’Fallon, Missouri, US.
Seth Myers, president of Air Evac Lifeteam, commended the helicopter mechanics on the outstanding accomplishment: “This award demonstrates the commitment and dedication our maintenance professionals have. Air Evac benefits from this commitment every day.”
DJ Bates, assistant director of maintenance for Air Evac Lifeteam, said that all 166 of the company’s mechanics completed 100 per cent of the training required to achieve the Diamond Maintenance Award. Bates added: “To receive the Diamond award, our mechanics first had to complete core courses. They went above and beyond, and completed more than 40 hours of training to achieve the Silver Award. In fact, three mechanics [Greg Glover, Ian Jenkins, Ronald Wilkes] achieved the Gold Award.”
Willie Heredia, manager of the St Louis Flight Standards District Office, said he is proud of the collaborative efforts between Air Evac’s maintenance department and the FAA Safety Team: “This Diamond Award certifies that 166 maintenance professionals met a perfect 100 per cent of the Aviation Maintenance Technician Award training goals. This accomplishment shows Air Evac’s continuous commitment to safety.”
CareFlight’s rapid response rescue helicopter was tasked to Blacktown shortly after 14:00 hrs.
Following a natural disaster, one of the IAF’s main missions is evacuation of injured civilians.

- Impact of Mechanical Activation, Scar, and Electrical Timing on Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Response and Clinical Outcomes. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- J Am Coll Cardiol 2014 Feb 24.
Using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), we sought to evaluate the relative influences of mechanical, electrical, and scar properties at the left ventricular (LV) lead position (LVLP) on CRT response and clinical events.CMR cine displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) provides high quality strain for overall dyssynchrony (circumferential uniformity ratio estimate [CURE, 0-1]) and timing of onset of circumferential contraction at the LVLP. CMR DENSE, late gadolinium enhancement, and electrical timing together could improve upon other imaging modalities for evaluating the optimal LVLP.Patients had complete CMR studies and echocardiography before CRT. CRT response was defined as a 15% reduction in LV end-systolic volume. Electrical activation was assessed as the time from QRS-onset-to-LVLP-electrogram (QLV). Patients were then followed for clinical events.In 75 patients, multivariable logistic modeling accurately identified the 40 (53%) of patients with CRT response (AUC=0.95 [p<0.0001]) based on CURE (OR 2.59/0.1 decrease), delayed circumferential contraction onset at LVLP (OR 6.55), absent LVLP scar (OR 14.9), and QLV (OR 1.31/10 ms increase). The 33% of patients with CURE<0.70, absence of LVLP scar, and delayed LVLP contraction onset had a 100% response rate, while the 31% with CURE≥0.70 had a 0% CRT response rate and a 12-fold increased risk of death, and the remaining 36% had a mixed response profile.Mechanical, electrical, and scar properties at the LVLP together with CMR mechanical dyssynchrony are strongly associated with echocardiographic CRT response and clinical events after CRT. Modeling these findings holds promise for improving CRT outcomes.
- Adenosine sensitivity of retrograde fast pathway conduction in patients with slow-fast atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia: A prospective study: Fast pathway's adenosine resistance. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Heart Rhythm 2014 Feb 27.
It is suggested that adenosine resistance of retrograde fast pathway in slow-fast atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) confirms the participation of a concealed retrograde atriohisian pathway, rather than conventional fast pathway in the arrhythmia circuit of slow-fast AVNRT.We prospectively assessed the retrograde fast pathway response to the intravenous administration of adenosine in patients with typical AVNRT and the control group.Electrophysiologic parameters and adenosine sensitivity of retrograde fast pathway were studied in 21 consecutive patients (18 women, age 57±10 years) with slow-fast AVNRT and 24 patients (11 women; age 46±16 years) as control group.Fifteen patients (71%) with AVNRT and 18 patients in control group (75%) developed transient VA block after intravenous administration of adenosine (P=0.79). Among patients with slow-fast AVNRT female gender (P=0.003), longer VA interval during right ventricular pacing (P<0.001), and longer tachycardia's cycle length (P<0.001) predicted transient VA block after intravenous administration of adenosine. Among patients in control group shorter VA interval during fixed rate right ventricular apical pacing (P=0.009) and presence of dual AV nodal physiology (P=0.002) were associated with adenosine resistance of retrograde fast pathway.The prevalence of adenosine resistance of retrograde fast pathway's conduction is comparable between patients with and without slow-fast AVNRT. This finding can be explained better by the existence of an insulated intra nodal tract with Purkinje-like properties or a superior atrionodal connection to the nodo-hisian region of the AV node, rather than presence of an atriohisian pathway.
- Channelopathies. [REVIEW]
- Korean J Pediatr 2014 Jan; 57(1):1-18.
Channelopathies are a heterogeneous group of disorders resulting from the dysfunction of ion channels located in the membranes of all cells and many cellular organelles. These include diseases of the nervous system (e.g., generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus, familial hemiplegic migraine, episodic ataxia, and hyperkalemic and hypokalemic periodic paralysis), the cardiovascular system (e.g., long QT syndrome, short QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia), the respiratory system (e.g., cystic fibrosis), the endocrine system (e.g., neonatal diabetes mellitus, familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis, and familial hyperaldosteronism), the urinary system (e.g., Bartter syndrome, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease, and hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia), and the immune system (e.g., myasthenia gravis, neuromyelitis optica, Isaac syndrome, and anti-NMDA [N-methyl-D-aspartate] receptor encephalitis). The field of channelopathies is expanding rapidly, as is the utility of molecular-genetic and electrophysiological studies. This review provides a brief overview and update of channelopathies, with a focus on recent advances in the pathophysiological mechanisms that may help clinicians better understand, diagnose, and develop treatments for these diseases.
- Relation of the Unipolar Low Voltage Penumbra Surrounding the Endocardial Low Voltage Scar to Ventricular Tachycardia Circuit Sites and Ablation Outcomes in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol 2014 Feb 27.
MR-imaging has shown that infarct scars causing VT can extend deep to and beyond bipolar low voltage areas (LVA) and may be a source of ablation failure. We hypothesized that the size of the unipolar LVA 'penumbra' beyond the overlying bipolar scar may predict outcome of endocardial VT ablation.Twenty consecutive patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy who underwent endocardial VT ablation were retrospectively reviewed. Bipolar (30-500 Hz) LVA defined as <1.5 mV and unipolar (0.5-500 Hz) LVA defined as <8.3mV were reviewed on an electroanatomic mapping system. VT isthmus sites were identified from entrainment mapping, VT termination by ablation, or pace-mapping with abolition of VT inducibility by ablation.All bipolar LVAs (70.5±20cm2) had unipolar LVAs that surrounded the bipolar LVA (147±47cm2). Only 58% of the induced VTs could be mapped and ablated. During a 3-month follow-up 8/20 patients had VT recurrence. The size of the LVA penumbra was not different for those with (88±47cm2) vs without (69±35cm2) recurrences. However, all (8/8) of the group that recurred had isthmus/exits in the bipolar LVA border compared to only 3/12 that did not recur (100%vs25%;p<0.05). Furthermore, 5/8 patients who recurred harbored VT isthmuses in the unipolar LVA penumbra than 1/12 who did not recur (63%vs8%;p = 0.01).In ischemic cardiomyoapthy, unipolar LVA penumbra of varying size surrounds endocardial bipolar LVA, indicating intramural/epicardial scar. Although the size of this area did not predict early recurrence after endocardial ablation, frequent recurrences after VT ablation at scar periphery suggests deeper substrate towards the infarct border.

- [Cardiovascular diseases during pregnancy and delivery]. [English Abstract, Journal Article]
- Med Pregl 2013 Nov-Dec; 66(11-12):507-13.
Nowadays, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in the current obstetric practice. PHYSIOLOGICALLY ADAPTED MECHANISMS OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM IN PREGNANCY: It is normal that during pregnancy some physiological adaptive changes of the cardiovascular system occur and they may contribute to the deterioration of the clinical cardiac status of a patient with preexisting or acquired cardiovascular disease. The most prominent adaptive mechanisms include the increase of circulating blood volume, decrease of peripheral vascular resistance and decrease of plasma colloid-oncotic pressure. MOST FREQUENT DISEASES OF THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM IN PREGNANCY: Due to these changes, pregnant women are prone to tachycardia, palpitations and peripheral edema. Maternal counseling is obligatory for each pregnant woman in order to decrease the maternal morbidity and mortality. The most important predictors of maternal mortality for pregnant women with cardiovascular diseases are severity of pulmonary hypertension, hemodynamic significance of valvular lesion, cyanosis and functional status in heart failure. Cardiovascular diseases in pregnant women may be congenital or acquired. The most frequent congenital cardiac diseases are atrial and ventricular septal defects as well as persistent ductus arteriosus. These diseases are mainly diagnosed and corrected before the pregnancy, or left untreated if hemodynamically insignificant. The most frequent acquired cardiovascular diseases during pregnancy include arrhythmias, ischemic heart disease, rheumatic mitral stenosis and insufficiency, arterial hypertension and aortic dissection.In all cases of pregnancy associated with cardiovascular diseases, early recognition of cardiovascular disease is crucial, as well as correct diagnosis and referral to a tertiary centre equipped for a multidisciplinary approach of specialists experienced in high-risk pregnancies and deliveries in order to prevent maternal mortality.
- Ventricular tachyarrhythmia after coronary bypass surgery: incidence and outcome. [Journal Article]
- Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann 2013 Oct; 21(5):551-7.
Ventricular tachyarrhythmia after coronary artery bypass graft is common and the occurrence has been described, but the incidence and risk factors are not well defined.To evaluate the incidence of arrhythmias and to detect high-risk populations.In this prospective study, 856 consecutive patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft were monitored for new-onset ventricular tachyarrhythmias: non-sustained monomorphic ventricular tachyarrhythmia, sustained monomorphic ventricular tachyarrhythmia, sustained polymorphic ventricular tachyarrhythmia, and ventricular fibrillation. Detailed analyses of the clinical, demographic, echocardiographic, and surgical findings and arrhythmias occurrence was carried out during 6 months of follow-up.The incidence of ventricular tachyarrhythmia was 26.6% (17.6% non-sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia, 5.5% sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia, 0.8% sustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, and 2.7% ventricular fibrillation). The strongest degrees of statistical significance were for low ejection fraction (p = 0.01) and ischemic heart disease (p = 0.02). The incidence of ventricular fibrillation (61%) was greatest in the first 48 h after surgery. Postoperative myocardial infarction (p = 0.03) and hemodynamic instability (p = 0.05) were also predictors of arrhythmia occurrence. Recurrence of arrhythmia was highest in the ventricular fibrillation group (52%). The correlations between tachyarrhythmia, age, sex, electrolyte disorders, body mass index, and systemic or pulmonary hypertension were not significant.In view of the strong relationship between ventricular arrhythmias and low ejection fraction, ischemic heart disease, coronary artery disease severity, postoperative myocardial infection, and hemodynamic impairment, continuous monitoring is necessary, especially in the first 48 h after coronary artery bypass surgery.
- Prevention of sudden cardiac death beyond the ICD: Have we reached the boundary or are we just burning the surface? [REVIEW]
- Indian Heart J 2014 January - February.:S120-S128.
Preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a major unsolved problem in contemporary medical practice. As the most common cause of SCD, treatment for ventricular arrhythmias is the target area of interest in research field. While implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) effectively decreases death from ventricular arrhythmias in highly selected patients, risk of inappropriate shocks, mortality from frequent therapy, chance of failing in abortion of arrhythmias despite having a defibrillator, and our inability to recognize which of several hundreds of thousands of patients at risk for sudden death but do not meet current criteria for defibrillator, limit ICD effectiveness. In this article, a brief review of mechanism leading to SCD, the existing evidence for a defibrillator and the lacunae in present guidelines for patients clearly at risk for sudden death but without proven benefit from a defibrillator are presented in Section I. Following this, interventional approaches, both catheter-based and general measures that may serve as adjuncts to a defibrillator in preventing this all too common catastrophic end event, are summarized in Section II.
- Cardiac arrest and ventricular tachycardia from coronary embolism: an unusual presentation of infective endocarditis. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Anadolu Kardiyol Derg 2014 Feb 4.
- Cardiac Electrophysiology and the Susceptibility to Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia in Intact, Conscious Mice. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
- Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 2014 Feb 21.
Cardiac electro-physiologic dysfunction is a major cause of death in humans. Accordingly, electrophysiological testing is routinely performed in intact, conscious, humans to evaluate arrhythmias and disorders of cardiac conduction. However, to date, in vivo electrophysiological studies in mice are limited to anesthetized, open chest or closed chest preparations. However cardiac electrophysiology in anesthetized mice or mice with surgical trauma may not adequately represent what occurs in conscious mice. Accordingly, an intact, conscious murine model of cardiac electrophysiology has the potential to be of major importance for advancing the concepts and methods that drive cardiovascular therapies. Therefore, we describe, for the first time, the use of an intact, conscious, murine model of cardiac electrophysiology. The conscious mouse model permits measurements of atrio-ventricular interval, sinus cycle length, sinus node recovery time (SNRT), SNRT corrected for spontaneous sinus cycle, Wenckebach cycle length, the ventricular effective refractory period (VERP) and the electrical stimulation threshold to induce sustained ventricular tachy-arrhythmias in an intact, complex model free of the confounding influences of anesthetics and surgical trauma. This is an important consideration because anesthesia and surgical trauma markedly reduced cardiac output and heart rate as well as altered cardiac electrophysiology parameters. Most importantly, anesthesia and surgical trauma significantly increased the VERP and virtually eliminated the ability to induce sustained ventricular tachy-arrhythmias. Accordingly, the methodology allows for the accurate documentation of cardiac electrophysiology in complex, conscious mice and may be adopted for advancing the concepts and ideas that drive cardiovascular research.

“Hospital gave my mother ‘electric shock therapy against her will’ says Zac Goldsmith’s former aide” ran the headline in yesterday’s London Evening Standard.
The story concerned a woman who was given electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) without her consent at Tolworth Hospital in Surbiton. Her daughter was quoted:
“My mother was very unwell. A nurse told me she’d had electro-shock therapy,” said Ms Rahman. “We thought there would be a care meeting to discuss any plans like that. It is a huge decision. We had no idea this was going to happen. I was very angry.”
The article also include comments from Jane Harris of the charity Rethink Mental Illness:
“Many health professionals do not properly understand the rules around confidentiality and mistakenly think they can’t involve the family.
Close family members can play a key role in keeping their loved one well and, where appropriate, should be treated as partners not problems.”
The article said that the family is planning legal action. Presumably section 58a of the Mental Health Act was used. This allows psychiatrists to give ECT to patients who are considered incapable of giving consent if they get permission from a psychiatrist from the Care Quality Commission (who very seldom withhold permission). It would not be the first time that South West London and St George’s Mental Health Trust have been called upon to defend their use of ECT on non-consenting patients, as this 2003 news item from the BBC shows:
“A High Court test case examining the legality of forcing severely depressed patients to have electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been halted by a judge.
It was decided the case could go no further after it was revealed the woman at its centre, known only as K, had improved and no longer needed the treatment.”
It did not say which hospital was concerned. In 2003 it was still legal to give ECT under section 58 of the Mental Health Act to capable non-consenting patients, that is, people who could make a decision and decided they didn’t want ECT. When challenged by the patient’s lawyers, the hospital decided that the patient had improved and no longer needed ECT. The lawyers wanted to continue with the case as a question of principle, but Mr Justice Stanley Burnton declined their request.
The law was changed in 2007, and since the change came into force in 2009 ECT cannot be given under section 58A if someone, like the person in the 2003 case, is considered to be capable of making a decision and says no.


text: The use of technology, such as e-mail and the Internet, has grown in importance in many workplaces. This is especially true in academic workplaces as the use of computers and technology has become ubiquitous in today's academic environment. However, despite the proliferation of electronic communication, little research has been done to examine the effect that email communication and job satisfaction have on the higher education community overall. The present work explores these factors and also investigates how email usage varies across different types of campuses. Furthermore the book examines how email usage varies across professional versus support staff. Overall, this work helps to clarify and address the role that email plays in the workplace behavior and attitudes of higher education employees. It is a must read for all administrative-level employees who wish to understand how today's main instrument for communication (email) impacts both administrative and non-administrative employees and their level of job satisfaction in the academic environment.

Crocker Partners buys large Atlanta office building
Send this story to a friend
Crocker Partners has bought Atlantic Center Plaza, a 500,000-square-foot, Class A office tower in the heart of Atlanta’s Midtown.
Atlantic Center Plaza, built in 2001 and with the Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold certification, is one of several assets Boca Raton-based Crocker Partners previously owned and recently re-acquired. There were no brokers involved with this transaction.
Among the largest Class A office landlords in the Atlanta market, Crocker Partners owns the 18-story, 432,000-square-foot Prominence office tower in the Buckhead, Ga. submarket and an adjacent 6.4-acre land parcel proposed for 700 high-rise residential units. It also owns Cumberland Center II, three buildings in the Alpharetta, Ga. submarket totaling 333,000 square feet and a 3.7-acre parcel for future development in the Central Perimeter market.
"Atlantic Center Plaza has tremendous value-add potential," Partner Chris Eachus, who directs Crocker Partners’ Atlanta regional office, said in a statement. “We’re excited to reinvest in a trophy asset, in a premier submarket, at a time when metro Atlanta is experiencing significant absorption and job growth.”
He said Atlantic Center Plaza is well positioned to attract relocating and expanding companies, with one of the largest contiguous blocks of Class A space in the market. Additionally, it is located within a designated Opportunity Zone, which provides significant tax incentives to existing and new tenants at Atlantic Center Plaza for each job they create.

Obama comes out Swinging
President Obama went after Mitt Romney on his "47%" comment and had a moment when they compared pensions.
Obama attacked Romney based on his "47 percent" of Americans comment whom Romney said were "dependent" on government.
The president insinuated Romney’s tax proposals were a "sketchy deal" for the American people, and sought to tie the GOP nominee to George W. Bush.
Obama’s attacks extended into personal territory, too, as he frequently made reference to Romney’s immense personal wealth to make the broader case about Romney and "top-down economics."
"No, I haven't looked at my pension," he said in one exchange with Romney, "It's not as big as yours, so it doesn't take that long."
Here is the debate in its entirety:

Once you have added a catchy hook at the beginning of the essay introduction, followed by you could include a topicâs background info and a thesis statement. Starting with a charming anecdote is a classic method to get your readerâs attention and start thinking of the way it applies to your essayâs subject. Everyone loves an excellent story â as lengthy as it doesnât take too lengthy to inform it. Try beginning your essay with a story written in first-person narrative. Talk about the clouds within the sky as your rocket flew previous the tops of the pines and wound around the fringe of the forest.
However, in case you are writing for a particular audience, then thatâs a special story. In this context, general information or apparent information aren’t counted as âinterestingâ. Thesis statement- It is your main declare or a short abstract of your arguments/essay. Generally, it is positioned at the end of the introduction. However, it can be even be written firstly.
Finding free instructional sources on-line and gaining experience with the assistance of video tutorials might sound unprofessional. Still, you may be stunned what number of consultants hired in several fields only acquired this sort of schooling. Though, it better be a brief paragraph or maybe a sentence. The common size of an essay hook must be 3-7 sentences, relying on the topic. In an argumentative essay, the opening paragraph should be similar to that of a trial.
When writing a school software essay or a private assertion, you might be allowed to make use of this kind of hook. Hooks are a useful device that may assist to achieve writing. It does not matter whether it is a hook for an essay or one other sort of written content. But hooks alone will not grant you a perfect score on your paper. Students should also bear in mind to be precise with describing the subject of their assignment. Keep it simple but exciting and price your readers’ time.
Mainly, it should ignite the curiosity throughout the readers and naturally drive them to read the entire content material. Taking the time to set a detailed scene will help your reader have a transparent image in their minds and create an efficient hook.

The hook is a narrative introduction and tells a couple of totally different story written by one other person earlier than. So, you must choose fastidiously if you begin writing the introductory part of your essay. A good hook sentence for a persuasive essay will hardly work well with a story piece.
A hook is a gap assertion in an essay that attempts to grab http://asu.edu the readerâs attention in order that they need to learn on. I like the fact/statistic hook a lot too, and youâre proper it is a great one for analysis papers. I assume the beginning point with beginning a blog is determining your niche/focus, goals and your perfect readers.
But when you use any statistics or facts as a hook, bear in mind to say the source. Avoid incessantly mentioned statistics that your readers are aware of. Give preference to new and unknown fascinating facts relevant to the essay subject.

A study by researchers at the Wake Forest School of Medicine shed some light on why rural seniors often forego treatment. They questioned 478 adults aged 60 or older in rural North Carolina, and found that the most common answer was "I should not need help." Other frequently cited reasons were not knowing where to go, distance to access treatment, mistrust of counselors or therapists, not wanting to talk about private matters with a stranger, and stigma.
The relative lack of anonymity in rural areas and small towns could contribute to a rural senior's refusal to seek treatment for mental health issues. Dennis Mohatt, vice president of the behavioral mental health program at the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education and director of its Center for Rural Mental Health Research, told Gurnon, "Your neighbors don’t have a clue in a city if you’re going to go get some help. But everybody [in a small town] will know if your pickup truck is parked outside of the mental health provider’s office."
Some seniors may believe that seeking help for mental illness may signal to others that they are weak or unable to be self-reliant. A study of rural veterans, half of whom were seniors, found this to be a potent barrier to seeking mental health treatment. The veterans rated independence and self-reliance very highly, and cited an emphasis on stoicism and concern about stigma as reasons that would make them less likely to seek help.

Kingdom of Arms Crusader Medieval War SwordBe the first one to write a review
FREE SHIPPING IN THE USA
5160 Spring Steel Replica of an actual crusader period War Sword from the Arsenal at Alexandria. MSRP $736.00
Crusader Era Medieval War Sword - The First Crusade took place between 1096 and 1099. Led by the Roman Catholic church, under Pope Urban II, as a military expedition. The goal was to regain the holy lands lost to Muslims in the conquest of Levant (632-661 A.D.).
It is not an exact replica of this antique sword from history that was in the Arsenal in Alexandria, but you can see it is a very close replica.
As such, there is no doubt that this is truly a sword from the time of the Crusades. This Oakeshott typology type XII sword will do better than the 3 previous ones attempted before.
Here is what is in the article concerning this Alexandrian Arsenal sword..
"A rare medieval sword taken from the Mamluk Arsenal at Alexandria was the top item in Bonhams sale of Antique Arms and Armor on November 28th in London. The medieval Crusader Italian-made sword was given as a gift to the Mamluk rulers of Alexandria by the Christian ruler of Cyprus and Jerusalem, King Peter I as part of a gift sealing a treaty. King Peter I, the King of Cyprus and Jerusalem, launched the last Crusade in 1362 against the Muslim Mamluk Empire in the region. A fleet set out from Cyprus and proved victorious, taking the city of Alexandria with immense amounts of plunder returned to Cyprus, including this sword. Such was the treasure and weapons taken from the captured city that many of the overloaded ships had to jettison cargo."
David Williams, Head of Bonhams Antique Arms and Armor Department, says: "The fascination of this sword is that it has survived some six centuries having been gifted by a Christian King to a Muslim ruler and kept in the famed Alexandrian armory and then taken by force by Crusaders and returned to Europe. It is a remarkable survivor of the Crusader period."
The elite Kingdom of Arms Crusader Medieval War Sword features a hand hammered 5160 carbon steel blade as the originals were made, full tang, heat treated and tempered as the originals, for a strong yet flexible blade that will hold a very sharp edge, with a leather wrapped handle and blued pommel with brass cross inset in the pommel, and blued quillons. Comes with a wooden scabbard with leather accents and with hangers attached.
