Hillary Clinton has been in public office for the better part of 30 years. As a first lady, senator, secretary of state and presidential candidate, she served with a level of efficiency and strength that is all too rare in the nation’s capital. In 2016, Clinton became the first female nominee for president of a major U.S. political party, breaking a glass ceiling and inspiring women across the country — like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in New York — to run for office and win. With the midterms largely wrapped up, all eyes have turned to the 2020 presidential election. According to an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal by Andrew Stein and longtime adviser Mark Penn, Clinton will be among the crop of Democrats vying for the nomination — but such a move would be a historic disservice from one of our nation’s most prolific public servants.
Speaking broadly about the 2020 election, Democrats have reason to be optimistic about their chances. In 2018, they made major inroads in dismantling the conservative stranglehold on the federal government. As of Nov. 26, the Democrats flipped 38 House seats with three races still outstanding. The Democrats did what they were supposed to do in 2018 by taking control of the House; it wasn’t a home run, but it was a welcome sight. But clear visions of greener pastures and a Trump-free White House become muddied the moment Clinton enters the race.
According to a Gallup poll in September 2018, Clinton’s favorability rating is at 36 percent — lower than her would-be opponent, President Trump, whose favorability sits at 44 percent. However, 2020 hopeful and former Vice President Joe Biden has recorded favorability as high as 57 percent. The country seems to be growing tired of Trump’s circus given the midterm results, but based on this data, they would rather keep those circus tents upright than call Clinton Madam President. Her inability to connect with the public, along with her politics, ties to money and the sexism she endures from the public and her colleagues all contribute to her record low favorability ratings.
Clinton will simply not be able to galvanize voters and create enough energy to stall the Trump train. Early voting for 18–21 year olds increased 188 percent from the 2014 midterm elections. During the 2016 presidential election, primary candidate Bernie Sanders garnered 2 million votes from people under the age of 30 from the 21 states that voted by June 1, 2016. Trump and Clinton combined won just 1.6 million votes from people under the age of 30 at the same point in the race. Issues of climate change, gender equality, healthcare and gun control have mobilized youth to make them a powerful voting bloc. We need a candidate who can tap into a frustrated and gunned down generation of youth to secure victory at the polls. Hillary “Chillin’ in Cedar Rapids” Clinton is simply not that candidate.
Stein and Penn’s attempt to forge a new path to victory for Clinton, as described in the Wall Street Journal op-ed, is unrealistic. They tell the nation to get ready for “Hillary Clinton 4.0,” a new and improved version of the politician — and guess what? She’s a progressive now. They paint Clinton as a woman on an unstoppable mission to the White House. If this story sounds familiar, it’s because it’s been told time and time again. Her breeze to the nomination in 2008 was thwarted by a young upstart named Barack Obama, and a disheveled 75-year-old socialist from Brooklyn gave her a fight during the 2016 primary before a combination of Trump and Russia beat her on election night.
But alas! She has found the magic formula. She will be likable, yet firm. She will be progressive and unapologetic. She will have guts and determination. She will avenge her defeats. Except we all know, she won’t and she can’t. The real problem with a Clinton candidacy is not with Clinton but with America. If she tries to be likable, they’ll say she’s pandering and disingenuous; if she tries to be firm, they’ll say she bossy; if she tries to attack, they’ll say she’s out for revenge.
Democratic voters and the Democratic Party need to keep it simple. The strategy for 2020 should be described by one word: win. Clinton is not a candidate the Democrats can win with, but someone like Biden is. A recent CNN poll showed that 33 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents preferred Biden to be the nominee in 2020. Presidential hopefuls like Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Corey Booker, Sanders and Biden were all shown to be able to defeat Trump in a recent poll.
Democrats picked up big wins in Midwestern governors races during the 2018 midterms because they ran likable, moderate, issue-focused candidates who connected with the voters. Biden has the name recognition, the experience and the charisma to flip vital states like Wisconsin and Michigan back to the Democrats in 2020.
The window for Clinton has simply passed. America does not need a new and improved version of Clinton. They need to her to be the advocate, trailblazer and role model she has been for so long — but this time, just from the sidelines.

Great news for point lovers. A new campaign lets you earn extra SAS EuroBonus points with Hedvig insurances. Members earn 5000 EuroBonus Extra points as a welcome bonus when buying one or more insurances with a total premium of at least SEK 200 per month.
In addition to the welcome bonus, you get a monthly bonus each month you pay the invoice. In total, you can score up to 10.000 EuroBonus points.
The promotion is only valid for new customers or people who haven’t been customers for the last twenty-four (24) months before taking out a policy. It’s also not possible to combine the SAS Eurobonus offer with other discount codes at Hedvig (with the exception of Hedvig Forever).
What is Hedvig?
Hedvig is a digital insurance startup based in Sweden that has been in business since 2018. Hedvig AB is registered as an insurance broker with the Financial Supervisory Authority and brokers insurance on the Swedish market on behalf of Hedvig Försäkring AB and Eir Försäkring AB.
Key highlights about Hedvig
- Digital-First Approach: Hedvig offers a digital-first experience for insurance, allowing customers to buy insurance, make claims, and manage their policies, all through a mobile app or online interface.
- Type of Insurance: Initially, Hedvig began with home insurance but it expanded its offerings with over 10 different policies as of 2023
- Business Model: One of the unique propositions of Hedvig’s model is its transparency. They take a fixed fee from the premiums to cover their costs; the rest covers claims. Money that isn’t used for claims is donated to charitable causes.
- Claims Processing: Hedvig has a fast claims process, often leveraging technologies like chatbots to streamline claims and provide quick responses.
- Mission and Values: The company emphasizes transparency, simplicity, and a user-centric approach. They aim to make insurance more straightforward and fairer for consumers.
How To Get 10.000 SAS EuroBonus Points With Hedvig
- Take out insurance. Take advantage of the offer by taking out insurance with Hedvig at the top of this page.
- Register your EuroBonus number. Enter your member number on the thank you page after purchase or in the Hedvig app.
- Get the points. Your points are paid three months after your first policy has been activated, then monthly.
SAS EuroBonus members earn one hundred (100) EuroBonus Extra points in monthly bonus (per calendar month) per active policy taken out via Hedvig’s website or app. SAS members can earn a maximum of four hundred (400) EuroBonus Extra Points monthly. This applies only to new Hedvig customers who have not had active insurance in the last twenty-four (24) months, and the insurance(s) must have a total premium of at least SEK 200 per month.
The welcome bonus and the earned monthly extra points are paid to the SAS EuroBonus member’s account three (3) months after the first insurance is activated. After the first three months, the monthly bonus is paid out after each calendar month.
There’s no commitment period. Your insurance can be canceled at any time. If you choose to cancel an insurance policy, you keep your paid EuroBonus points.

What did the Archbishop say?
Dr Williams said that it “seems unavoidable” that some aspects of Sharia would be adopted in Britain. He urged that the law do more to accommodate the religious convictions and practices of other faith groups .
Why have his comments prompted such a furore?
Sharia is controversial in the West because – as the Archbishop put it – it calls up “all the darkest images of Islam”. He added: “What most people think they know of Sharia is that it is repressive towards women and wedded to archaic and brutal physical punishments,” such as stoning, flogging and amputation.
Timing is another factor: his comments come during heightened tensions over fundamentalist Islam’s link with terrorism, along with growing concern that English…

2014 has been pretty dire for investors in Blinkx (LSE: BLNX). After all, the company has begun a transitional period from focusing almost exclusively on desktop to now concentrating on mobile in regard to future earnings growth. Clearly, this is a major change for the business and it is, therefore, perhaps unsurprising that Blinkxs bottom line has moved into the red, with its share price falling by 88% this year as a result.
Of course, Blinkx can turn things around and, crucially, it has the cash to do so. However, it could take a lot longer than just one year to do so and, as a result, 2015 could be another disappointing year for investors in the company. As such, it may be worth keeping an eye on Blinkx, but keeping your powder dry for the time being.
With a blue-chip client base, major corporations as shareholders, and a superb product, it seems as though Monitise (LSE: MONI) is destined for success. However, what it lacks at the moment is profit and, looking ahead to 2015, its unlikely that it will come along before the year is out.
While thats not a major problem for long term investors, since Blinkx operates in a relatively young industry that has excellent long term potential, it means that the companys share price may fail to perform well over the next year. Certainly, a fall of 60% (as has been the case this year) may be unlikely, but similarly strong gains may not occur until Monitise can move into the black, which is not likely to happen until 2016 at the earliest.
With shares in Lgo Energy (LSE: LGO) having risen by an incredible 515% in 2014, it has bucked the trend in regard to a declining oil price hurting the vast majority of its sector peers. A key reason for this has been continued upbeat updates from its Goudron field in Trinidad, where Lgo Energy has just this week confirmed that oil is flowing better than it had previously expected.
Looking ahead, much of the companys future potential could now be reflected in its share price and, although its latest updates have been very encouraging, its unlikely for them to continue to be positive in perpetuity. As a result, and while Lgo Energy undoubtedly has considerable future potential, it could be worth waiting for a keener share price before buying a slice of it.
While Lgo Energy, Blinkx and Monitise may not be worth buying at the moment, the analysts at The Motley Fool have uncovered 5 companies that they think have stunning long term futures.
As such, they’ve featured them in a free and without obligation guide called 5 Shares You Can Retire On. The 5 companies in question offer exciting growth prospects, super-low valuations, and dependable dividends and, as a result, they could make a real difference to your portfolio returns in 2015 and beyond.

In a context completely unrelated to computers or my work, someone gave me a copy of one of those “word a day” calendar entries for the word “mortmain”. You can see the fuller definition here, but one definition is:
The oppressive influence of past events or decisions.
Only after I tacked it up in my office did people start pointing out to me the irony.
As a medium of communication, blogs have their strengths and weaknesses. The informal nature of the communication makes it incredibly easy to communicate information on an ongoing basis. The down side, of course, is that the very informality of blogs can also trip you up if you don’t pay enough attention to follow up. I’ve certainly been guilty of that on this blog (there are still some loose ends I think haven’t really been tied up), and we’ve been guilty of that as a team.
One thing we haven’t always done a good job of is keeping people apprised of feature decisions that we’ve made as the VB 2008 product cycle has progressed. As a result, there has been some confusion as to what features are in and which features are out of the product. So let me start by giving a reasonably concise list of the feature set for VB 2008…
- Friend assemblies. We now pay attention to the InternalsVisibleTo attribute.
- Relaxed delegates. As long as there is a way to map one delegate’s parameters to another, you can now convert freely between delegate types. (I’d wanted to see this extended into full delegate currying, but that will have to wait for a future release.)
- Runtime agility. The ability to compile without a VB runtime, or targeting another VB runtime.
- Calling Object members on interfaces. Minor feature, but useful in some situations.
- Ternary operator. A short-circuiting conditional expression like C’s ?: operator.
- Improved generic type inferencing. In VB 2005, we would not infer a type for a type parameter that had multiple inferred types (i.e. a parameter T matched two arguments typed as Integer and Long). In VB 2008, we will now pick the wider of the two types. (Actually, it’s more complex than this, but you get the idea.)
- Local variable type inferencing.
- Anonymous types.
- Extension methods.
- Nullable types.
- Query expressions. This is the From…Where…Select… expression.
- Object initializers. For VB 2008, we will only support initializing read-write fields of non-collection objects (more on this further down).
- Expression trees.
- Lambda expressions. For VB 2008, we will only support expressions in lambdas, not statements.
- Partial methods.
- XML literals.
- XML members.
- XML namespaces.
I think most everything on this list has so far been discussed, with the exception of the omissions from object initializers. Our original plans, going back to PDC05, included several more features for object initializers, such as being able to write to read-only properties, as well as collection and array initializers. In the end, the schedule for VS 2008 was not sufficient to implement these features with a high degree of confidence. Which unfortunately means that they will have to wait to a release beyond VS 2008.
It’s hard to believe it, but 6/21/2007 marks the 15th anniversary of my permanent arrival in Seattle. I’d spent the summer before in Redmond interning, but in June of 1992, I graduated from college, bought a car, packed up my stuff, and headed out to Seattle. When people would ask me how long I expected to work at Microsoft, I said, “I don’t know… I guess I’ll stay three to five years and then figure out what I’m going to do with the rest of my life.” Tomorrow, of course, marks the 15th anniversary of starting work at Microsoft.
On the one hand, an incredible amount has changed at Microsoft and in my life since then. On the other hand, I’m still working with the person who had the office next to me when I joined. Life, I guess, is funny that way.

Classic Athens Revival concept
Athens, a dream among wonderful ruins, as described in a phrase by the French landscape painter, sculptor, architect, and archaeologist Louis-François Cassas. Athens at that time was a city that survived raids and invasions since Persian Wars, but its last century’s threat was the sack of its archaeological treasures, especially during the Ottoman period. When westerners firstly visited Ottoman occupied Athens, Romanticism came down to Philhellenism, following neoclassicism, ancient Greek Revival, and absolute trade of antiquities. Their Athens neoclassical route was simple: Thisseio, Tower of the Winds, Pnyx, Ancient Agora, and definitely Acropolis, until the modern neoclassical building will appear in the Attic land.
One of the most famous Philhellenes, Lord Byron (whose statue is at Zappeion today) wrote a poem about the destruction of the Parthenon from Elgin, named the Curse of Minerva, a fantastic dialogue between him and goddess Athena. The business of Greek antiquities was the other side of the coin of the Greek Revival in architecture, and it was a global network. In order to successfully trade Greek antiquities, new companies were created, one in Italy in 1807, by Charles Robert Cockerell, an English architect, smuggler, and writer, who arrived in Athens the same year as Lord Byron did, 1811. In order to excavate Greece and send antiquities to the European market, involving English, French, Germans, Austrians, and more. Their goal was basically Aegina, Olympia, and Figalia. Their initial base was in Athens, at the home of Louis François Sébastien Fauvel who was selling items but also guiding people around and providing information.
The famous painting of Fauvel’s house from Kirristou street house showings antiquities shows the dark side of the Grand Tour. Consequently, Greek Antiquities were finally protected in 1827 by law and the Athens National Archaeological Museum opened its gates in 1866.
Dupré visited Greece in 1819, which had still been part of the Ottoman Empire, and recorded his time there with drawings and descriptions of the people from the different levels of society. Therefore, his personal travel diary, named Voyage à Athènes et à Constantinople, was produced a few years later after his travels, in 1825. It was released in France after Greece had begun to rebel against the Ottoman Empire. His travel book consists of forty illustrations and is accompanied by fifty-two pages of text.
Athens as an independent city
Athens suffered a lot once again from wars with the Ottomans. After liberation, architects and foreigners of all professions helped to reconstruct a city that was ruined. All this effort is today under the term of neoclassical Athens.
You can explore this part of Athens’s history at the Athens University’s history museum.
Athens today hosts events such as Athens Marathon, Olympic Flame Ceremony, Athens Festival, and more international events that show the city’s cosmopolitan character.

Neural networks and evolutionary computation for real-time quality control
MetadataShow full item record
Quality control in general and automated quality control in particular are assuming major importance in modem society as technological SNStems are becoming increasingly complex and highly interconnected. Traditional statistical process control techniques are inadequate to address control problems in automated processes because of the high degree of data correlation characterized by such processes. Classical process control methods depend on simplifying assumptions of plant linearity and time-invariance to make the problem analytically tractable. They are therefore limited in effectiveness of the control of complex, nonlinear, multivariable processes. This dissertation attempts to overcome some of the limitations and shortcomings of traditional quality control methods through the integration of two technologies, neural networks and evolutionary computation. An autonomous control system prototype has been developed to control (maintain quality variables within desired limits) a process by providing high level adaptation to changes in the plant, environment, and control objectives. This technology utilizes memory and learning techniques to overcome limitations of traditional control methods, namely data autocorrelation, requirements of simplifying assumptions, and requirements of a priori information about the process. The robustness and applicability of this integrated technology is demonstrated though results obtained from tests involving simulated processes of varying degrees of complexity.

Music Program at Private Boarding School Encourages Self-Expression in Girls
By Jess Clarke
Students at New Leaf Academy, a therapeutic boarding school for girls in Hendersonville, N.C., engage in art sessions, yoga, sports, equine therapy, minibike programs, and other activities regularly each week. Starting this summer, they can add singing to the list.
New Leaf, a private school for girls ages 10 to 14, is introducing music into the curriculum in response to requests from parents and students. The new program will start this summer and could become a year-round addition.
“As a school that has students from all over the United States and with parents wanting us to do it, we’ve always wanted to do it, but our schedule is packed,” academic director Bryan Tomes says. “If it goes well, I think that will provide the incentive to do it all year.”
Choral Music, Piano, Drums, and Guitars
The three-day-a-week program will include choral music and a baby grand piano and possibly drums and guitars. A theater element may be added eventually.
In the past, New Leaf has offered music history and music appreciation courses and guitar instruction. But the new music program will offer expanded opportunities to explore musical interests as well as more focused instruction.
For girls who come to New Leaf with experience singing or playing an instrument, the program will give them an opportunity to continue to pursue their talents. For students with no music background, the program will expose them to a possible new passion.
“We feel it will not only make current parents happy, but prospective parents will be excited to know it’s an option. We get a number of students who have had strong musical backgrounds,” Tomes says.
Providing a Therapeutic Outlet, Nurturing Talent
For girls who may be struggling in some areas, extracurricular activities can be therapeutic and provide opportunities to excel in other areas.
“We recognize that people have innate talents and weaknesses,” Tomes says. “Any time we can add more opportunities for girls to recognize their talents, we can attack their weakness more effectively because we can make them recognize the diversity that’s there. They can have 45 minutes a day to just belt it out. They get a chance to be creative without the constraints of testing. Art is relaxing and calming; likewise, music can provide that for our girls.”
The music program is part of New Leaf’s approach to nurturing well-rounded students.
“There are real-world skills you learn from performing and learning how to read music,” Tomes says. “The music program is a way to boost self-confidence, access a different type of therapeutic outlet, or develop a new skill they didn’t know they had.”
Playing individual drums in a circle, for example, builds teamwork and teaches students the coordination of how to maintain a rhythm.
And music sets the groundwork for a potential theater program at New Leaf. “It’s a first step to theater, which offers many of the same benefits,” Tomes says. “The arts offer real benefits. We all know that. We just don’t always have the time to pursue it.”

Friends of Cary Robuck's daughter are putting together a fundraiser, which is now being supported by the Racine County Sheriff's Department and they are hoping the community will show its support.
A number of friends are rallying around Cary Robuck’s family as they cope with the gruesome reality of her death by holding a fundraiser in her honor. Robuck was the 35-year-old mother of Horlick High School cheerleader Mariah Sturm, and she was very close with her boyfriend’s daughter Kira Scheffler, who is also a cheerleader. Cary was killed when Radcliffe Haughton, 45, opened fire Sunday morning at the Azana Salon in Brookfield. Thomas Stark, a senior at Horlick High School, Mariah Sturm, and Kira are friends. Stark started planning the fundraiser shortly after the news of Robuck’s death. Robuck’s family has asked that their friends not speak to the media for now. However, Fiona Murphy, said Stark has the support from Robuck’s family …

Abigail Lyon reviewed her classmates' high school career, from awkward freshmen to confident seniors at their Sunday graduation ceremony.
Abigail Lyon offered this speech to her classmates on Sunday, June 10, as she spoke at Horlick High School's graduation ceremony. Good afternoon. I am humbled and honored to be speaking to you all today and I’d like to express my deepest gratitude for all of the staff and administrators who have poured countless hours of dedication into the success of our graduating class of 2012. I’d also like to thank all of the parents, grandparents and guardians out there for supporting and providing for us – even during the roughest of times. But most importantly, I’d like to thank the graduating class of 2012 for the unforgettable past four years and for the opportunity to be a part of such an intelligent and inspiring group of young adults.

In a Sunday afternoon ceremony, Horlick High School graduates concluded their high school careers.
Prinicipal Angela Ress Apmann shared her first day at Horlick High School with the freshmen who would become the class of 2012. At Sunday afternoon's graduation ceremony, she told students she would always remember their first day at the school, because it was her first day, too. "This is an amazing journey you and I have shared together," she said. "I remember asking you to stand for teh pledge, and you did, but you kept talking through it. I thought, 'Oh, no. You can do better.' We did it again, and you did." She presented two students with the Principal Leadership Scholarship — Brianna Murray and Angel Cuellar — and she recognized Salutatorian Renee Shields and Valedictorian Abigail Lyon. Lyon gave the Farewell Address. She talked …

The school won a concert from KISS FM and the students had a great afternoon listening to the Wanted, Meghan and Liz and Tom Fiss.
RACINE - 2.3 million votes told three pop bands just how committed the students at Horlick High School are to an anti-bullying campaign, which is the reason why the bands -- The Wanted, Megan & Liz, and Tom Fiss -- rocked their gymnasium on Thursday afternoon. The three bands came to visit the school after they had won a contest by being the top vote getting school. Each voted represented a promise to not bully their classmates. The contest and concert was sponsored by the radio station KISS FM 103.7. And the student body held up their end of the bargain. The girls proposed marriage to the members of the British boy band The Wanted and Tom Fiss, the boys invited Megan & Liz to come down front for a chat and a photo. The screamed, the sang…

Tag archive for ‘rum’
The world of rum is a diverse one. And, thanks to there being no unifying authority, the types of products that are called rum vary widely in their flavour profiles. There are, loosely speaking, a few different styles of rum that drinkers can identify. They’re based on old geographical and cultural roots and it is remarkable how these styles have come down the ages.
Building on the success of Bundaberg Select Vat Rum, Bundaberg Distilling Company’s Master Craftsmen have hand selected the next vat to be used in the premium series.
In 1682, rum was big business in the American colonies. So much so that, when faced with the imminent arrival of a “hundred or more” heretic Quakers, Puritan clergyman Cotton Mather thought he could sell them for rum. “Much spoil can be made by selling the whole lot to Barbadoes [sic],” he wrote, “where slaves fetch good prices in rum and sugar”. Such was the appeal of rum – the New England colonists were crazy for it.
Bundaberg have added again to their range with the release of this new premium rum.
Bundaberg’s carefully crafted rum is now available through Diageo…
Meet Bacardi Lion’s new spiced rum, Oakheart…
Fancy adding this delicious bottle of Mount Gay Extra Old rum to your liquor cabinet?
Australian history is awash with rum – that characterful sugarcane spirit the golden hue of good, fertile Aussie soil. And if you distill the history of Bundaberg Rum and you’ll find a heady mix of traditional Aussie values.
Baranows Emporium’s best selling, five star rum – Diplomatico Reserva Exclusivo – is a perfect match for a high end cigar.

Berlin’s defunct airport is a mecca for fitness buffs, with old runways now providing the perfect slick surface for biking, skating, and of course, a relaxing jog (which actually isn’t pronounced with a silent “j” in German, as one might expect). During the summer it’s an especially charming site with picnickers, outdoor grilling stations, and colorful kites peppering the sky. Considering there’s very little shade, this route is best saved for a slightly overcast day (but as we know in Berlin, there are plenty of ‘em).
Grünewald is the heavyweight of Berlin runs, with over 100 miles worth of paths. While it’s much less crowded than Tiergarten, some of those trails are quite rugged and patchy, so you’re best to GPS a solid route and stick to it. You can’t go wrong circling around the lakes Grunewaldsee and Schlachtensee, but if you’re up for a challenge, hit Teufelsberg, or in German, “Devil’s Mountain” (it’s actually less intimidating than it sounds). It’s Berlin’s second-highest mountain made totally out of World War II rubble, with a former NSA spying station perched on top.

The Pomeranian originated in the snowy
wastes of the Arctic Circle, where its thick luxuriant coat kept it warm. From
there the history can be traced to Pomerania in Germany and from there to
England. Pomeranians are now popular all over the world. English Pomeranian
breeders favoured a small dog and developed the dainty dog that we know today.
of breeds of dogs.
Pomeranians make good house pets and need
only a small yard. They make good watch dogs.
Daily brushing helps to keep the Pomeranian
looking good. They make a good lady's dog. When the coat is fluffed up they look
like a powder puff. They are often called "Toy Poms," or "toypoms,"
as a nickname. Their correct name is "Pomeranian."
Children should be supervised when playing
with Pomeranian puppies, as they are small and vulnerable. Puppies need peace to
sleep during the day, and should be left alone at meal-times.
Pomeranians are classified in the Toy
Group. They come in a variety of colours.

Adults that have been released from prison have an increased risk of unnatural death. However, there is a scarcity of publicly available information about the numbers of deaths occurring around Australia. This paper aims to contribute the post-release mortality research by understand what publicly available data about post-imprisonment deaths are available in each Australian jurisdiction and ascertain how we can fill in the gaps in knowledge. How do governments conceptual post-release deaths? What influence does post-release supervision have on the risk or likelihood of unnatural death? Does the type of support accessed (voluntary post-release support or involuntary post-release supervision) impact on risk of death?

Fortnite fans could be in for a treat as it looks like a sequel could be on it’s way, the rumors have came from a number of job listings that have been posted on the developers website. Fortnite is a live service game and receives a stream of regular updates to keep the game fresh and relevant, so in theory the game can keep going for many years to come.
Complaints have started coming in from fans that the game is starting to feel stale, changes to the game and live events have been enough to keep the game interesting for years, but maybe now fans are looking for something different.
There are a number of listings on the website, including one looking for a Concept Artist who will have the role of creating “alternate skin designs for approved hero characters”.
Another listing calls for an Experienced Design Lead who will need to “help shape the Fortnite ecosystem for the future”, the candidate will also need to be able to design events and brand experiences.
There is number of other job listings that are on the website also, so with the right additions to the team it looks as if the game could have a complete overhaul. Of course, with no official announcement for a second game, we can only speculate that this is what the job listings are for.
It looks as if fans will have to hang on and see what is in store for the future of Fortnite, but in the meantime be sure to check back with us at Gamerficial for the latest news and updates.

If you are like me you consider your dog part of the family. It seems more and more that certain police officers view them as target practice.
In Salt Lake City, hundreds of people have protested in from of the SLPD against the summary execution of lovable Geist the Weimaraner.
You might be saying to yourself that perhaps we here at Bullets First are getting too soft hearted and cannot accept that a dog had to be shot. That’s not the case here. Geist wasn’t a roving dog attacking children, not a trained fighter who would snap at anyone, not a rabid monster.
No, Geist was a lovable family pet whose only “crime” was being in his fenced in and locked yard.
It was there in his fenced in backyard that the gray Weimaraner was was shot dead by a police officer who was searching for a missing boy.
Police said the dog was shot after he approached the officer in an “aggressive manner.”
The boy was later found sleeping in his home.
Let me dissect all that FAIL in that above three sentences.
First, at no point do I hear anything even coming CLOSE to probably cause that would allow a police officer to trespass on someones private property. He didn’t hear any boy cry out, didn’t notice anything that could have given him the slightest inkling that trespassing would have gained him anything in finding the boy.
Secondly, the dog approached the officer in an “aggressive manner.” To me that sounds about as truthful as when a cop shoots an unarmed man and says he was going for a gun…that never existed. The aggressive manner was probably Geist coming over to see what was going on…it tears at my heart to imagine that Geist was wagging his tail as the cold blooded murderer laughed while finally getting a chance to kill something.
Thirdly, THE BOY WAS FOUND SLEEPING IN HIS HOME. That is some crack detective work there Salt Lake Police Officers. Did no one think to…I don’t know…CHECK THE HOUSE, before they went on their dog slaughtering ways.
Of course this is all compounded by the flippant and disdainful way the police have responded to the incident.
Sgt. Joseph Cyr stated in regards to the canine killer “We entered the yard looking for a lost child. He was threatened by the dog and shot the dog. That’s as simple as it gets.”
I knew a women with an irrational fear of dogs…does that mean she can go ahead and start murdering them at will…because she feels threatened by them all…regardless of any danger.
The dogs owner, Sean Kendall, in response to Sgt Cyr’s cavalier tone responded:
“So I get to bury my dog because an officer couldn’t back up and close the f—— gate.”
These are the types of situations where a police officer needs to be fired. The unnamed officer is guilty of one of two things. Either he has an itchy trigger finger and likes to kill things OR he doesn’t have the nerve to respond according to a situation at which point any person who finds themselves on the wrong side of his gun may be shot on sight for no reason than the appearance of a threat…or rather the irrational perception of a dysfunctional police officer.
But by all means…let’s continue to militarize our police departments while disarming the populace…because Bob Barker’s spaying and neutering is not controlling the pet population enough for the Government’s liking.

Today, I'm going to reference time. Music lives. Especially in improv. You know how I know? Because in one moment it exists, it expresses, it breathes, it makes mistakes, it falls apart, it builds up, it speaks, it evolves and unfolds. And then, it's over. And what happened in that moment of living never happened before, and will never happen again. It's a translation of the soul, and is as unique in its moment as any of us, or any other thing in nature. Even a recording is just a photograph of what happened in that moment, and what we have in that photograph is just a memory.
What happens in a moment of music will never happen again the same way, just as you and I will never happen again once we pass. Yet somehow, during the course of a piece of music (and even throughout the evolution of music as a whole), what happened then is essential to what happens now, and to what will happen in the future. And what happens in the future depends entirely on what is happening now, which depends on what happened already. It is predetermined, and its not. Once a choice has been made, it's very difficult to go back and try to reroute onto a different path. It's not impossible, but getting back there entails yet another path. One of the scary things, and honest things, about music is that you can't take back anything. There are always consequences. And since this is the truth about how the world/universe/evolution/humanity works, you can see why I would say that music lives. Fwew. I'm rereading this, and it's just a conundrum of wordplay. Let's leave it to the experts.
An excerpt from a poem by T.S. Eliot. I won't put the entire thing here, because no one wants to read an entire poem in a blog. I'll just write the title so that you can look it up if you want to.
An excerpt from Four Quartets: Burnt Norton:
Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction
Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present.
Here we go, Day 4: https://ia902701.us.archive.org/35/items/Improv81811/Memo-5.mp3

It took a few years of logistics, but last summer our rain garden was dug and planted. The garden above was built 2015 in cooperation with UNH Soak Up The Rain New Hampshire program and is located to the right of our store. It did in fact sustain several trials of filling to the brim during a few downpours. The employees of Rolling Green Nursery eagerly offered a report of the water level as they travelled to and from the office. [We have an 8′ long transom window in the stairwell offering a birds-eye view.] Success! The problems of flooding between our garden store and the employee parking lot were resolved for the most part, even though the water breeched during a few storms there’d be no more rafting to our cars. The overrun did dissipate rapidly too. So lets flip the story to the other extreme, a rain garden is designed to endure – drought. Plant selection is key, as they have to withstand extremes from heat and drought as well as endure flooding, absorb large amounts of water as well as minimize erosion. We have a good selection of rain garden plants listed and available here at the nursery.
Surely we are in agreement that this summer will be historic as one of the hottest and driest. As you can see the plants look great for September first and thriving with minimal waterings by our staff. Salt marsh hay was applied mid summer to control weeds, preserve moisture and discovered it does not float on top of the water unlike bark mulch. It stays submerged no matter how much water fills the garden. This summer we have enjoyed watching the battle of the hummingbirds as they dual as to ‘who’s cardinal flowers are they?’ – really! Of course the flowers are visited by all kinds of pollinators as well. If you are interested in rain gardens come in and see ours, ask questions, we are a great resource for anything rain garden.

TOM Cruise's kids Isabella, 28, and Connor, 26, have followed in their father's footsteps and reportedly become "rock stars" in the world of Scientology.
Rising up the ranks of the religion, Isabella has taken a new role as an auditor - effectively a counsellor to other members that helps them with "spiritual distress".
In a church newsletter, she wrote: "This IS what I had been searching for.
"The missing piece.
"Suddenly everything began to make sense."
Training to become an auditor reportedly involves four to six months of classes, and can cost anywhere between £15,000 and £25,000.
In the past Isabella has appeared on promotional materials for the church, suggesting that she is ready to step into the spotlight and be proud of her involvement.
She claims that Scientology saved her life after she was "drowning in problems".
'CONOR IS THE STAR JOCK'
Connor, Isabella's younger brother, is said to be dating Silvia Zanchi, a young star within the Scientology movement who is a prolific recruiter for new members.
Zanchi is based in Clearwater, Florida, the church's power base, where Connor is said to live.
She is known as a powerful force within the religion and has allegedly already taken steps to advance to "operating thetan" level - the highest order of the church.
Reports circulated last year that the pair was engaged, but the rumours were debunked by Connor himself on Twitter.
An "insider", Aaron Smith-Levin, 38, who left the church in 2013, told Page Six that Connor is a popular member of the church.
He said: "The local scientology community is like a big high school, and Connor is the star jock.
"Everybody knows him and wants to go out on his big-ass fishing boat."
The star himself has taken a step back from promoting the religion and gone relatively quiet about his involvement.
But Tony Ortega, author of Battlefield Scientology: Exposing L. Ron Hubbard's Dangerous Religion, said the actor's children are "doing their part" in his place and actively promoting the religion to send support to the leaders.
Both Connor and Isabella are adopted children of Cruise and Nicole Kidman, who divorced in 2001.
Kidman was declared a "suppressive person" by Scientology leaders and rarely had contact with her children who were raised by the church.
MOST READ WORLD NEWS
In November last year, she made a rare public statement about her children's involvement with the religion.
She told Australia's WHO magazine: "They are adults.
"They are able to make their own decisions."

Title: Mirror, Mirror on the Wall
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail
Exhausted. She was exhausted. Having to deal with everything that had happened today. She had dried tears on her cheeks as she slowly walked into her room, closing the door behind her and leaning against it.
They had said their final farewells a week ago as Jellal was taken away. Erza later sits alone and cries for who knows how long; she was so broken, so broken. She didn't understand why.
"Jellal…" It had been exactly a week…or maybe two since he was taken away from her. And yet she was still mourning? This wasn't healthy… at least that's what she thought.
Her stomach tightened as she bit her lip. Why was this happening? why was she feeling like this? everything hurt. Her heart, her throat and her head.
"Such beautiful scarlet hair….Why don't we call you 'Erza Scarlet'? It's the color of your hair, that way, I won't forget it!"
Erza quickly stood up straight and went into her bathroom. She gripped the sides of the sink as she stared into the mirror. She saw just how she expected herself to look. Ugly. she hated how she looked after crying. it made her feel weak and useless.
"I'm revolting…" she hissed as she leaned her head down, unable to stop the tears from falling down her face. a small sob left her mouth as she suddenly heard a voice. a very familiar voice.
"Don't say that Erza…You're beautiful."
Her breath hitched. Her heart dropped. Her pupils dilated as she slowly looked up into the mirror. "J-Jellal… ?" she whispered in a shocked tone. sure enough it was Jellal. In the mirror; But that wasnt the case, he wasn't IN the mirror, he was behind her.
"Why are you crying… ?" The blue haired male asked as he gripped Erza's wrist, pulling her around to face him. His hand came up to cup her face. "Don't ever say you aren't beautiful…because you are." Erza felt her face heat up as she took small gulps of air. Still shocked he was here.
"J-Jella-" He cut her off as he silenced her with a kiss. Erza's legs felt like Jello as she was lost in the moment, she was so happy. However she believed this was a beautiful lie. As she closed her eyes she felt tears fall. because once she opened her eyes he was gone.
Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?
You are, You are the fairest of them all…

Barcelona-based Heavy & Epic Doom Metal band Black Lotus release the first single from the upcoming album 'Sons of Saturn'. The album is released in October 19th 2018 by Inverse Records.
Watch the music video 'Sons of Saturn' here: https://youtu.be/lay83_1GJ9w
Black Lotus is founded by Hug Ballesta in 2015. After finding a proper line-up they headed into the Moontower Studio at the end of 2017. The album is recorded and mixed by Javi Félez and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, Portland, Oregon.
Hug Ballesta comments:
"We have chosen Sons of Saturn as the first single because it represents by itself the key sounds we search for as a band. We are lovers of both the classic bands and the new sounds and styles in metal: rawness, heavy-doomy-slow tempos, but at the same time catchy melodies that can equally transport the listener to apparently opposed moods. We are delighted that Inverse Records helps us spread our music... can't wait for the feedback!"
Black Lotus' sound is grounded in the diverse influences of the band members. Traditional Heavy Metal is the common factor and driving force of the band, but alternative sounds of the 90s, Stoner Rock, Doom Metal and post metal genres are also colours in their palette. Their compositions are embracing all those influences without limitations or dogmas. Likewise, lyrics are eminently symbolic, expressing a dystopic vision of society and their view of the world. Classic mythology, occultism, and personal experiences and visions are the sources for their compositions.
"Sons of Saturn" is available on all digital platforms worldwide.

Plenty of WWE Superstars over the years have competed in UFC, including Brock Lesnar and CM Punk. Haas’ mentor Kurt Angle has also expressed how he wished UFC was bigger during his prime as he would have loved to try it.
Here is what Charlie Haas had to say on the matter:
Would I have tried it? Probably yes, because I love that kind of sport. And with amateur wrestling there’s only you on the mat. That’s why I got into amateur wrestling. So I would have probably tried both and stuck with whatever I was better at. But at the time, like you said UFC wasn’t big yet, Pride was just ending and the Monday Night War was the hottest thing. So wrestling is where you wanted to be, it was the coolest thing at the time. I always wanted to be in it. SO at the time ECW was hot, WCW and WWE were huge at the time and I was on the East Coast. Wrestling and the independents were smoking out there. We came at the right time for pro wrestling. If I wanted to be a UFC fighter I would have been a pioneer like Randy Couture, those people that really paved the way for UFC.
The full interview can be found here.
How do you think Charlie Haas would have fared in the world of UFC? Would he have had a successful career like Brock Lesnar did, or would he have been a disappointment like CM Punk? Let us know in the comments!

The term circuit technology usually refers to the various techniques used in the manufacture of electrical circuits. A large number of devices that are used today make use of printed circuit boards (PCBs). These devices provide mechanical support for the various components present within the given device and the components’ electrical connections.
The electrical connections present on the PCB are made out of copper sheets laminated on a non-conducting material. Initially, a large copper sheet is laminated on the board, and then the sections that are not required are removed. Various techniques are used for the removal of unwanted copper. Some of them are:
- Silk Screen Printing: In this technique, an etching-resistant ink is applied to those required areas, and the remaining part is etched off.
- Photoengraving: Here, a photomask of the circuit required is prepared using the desired software, and then it is applied to the blank PCB. After this, the portions that are not required are etched off.
- PCB Milling: In this technique, a mechanical milling system that can work on 2 or 3 dimensions is used to remove the copper. The milling system is controlled by software.
In some other techniques, only the required copper is added to the board.
After this process, holes are drilled on the PCB as required. Again this process is controlled by computers to attain the necessary accuracy. In some cases, printed circuits are present on both sides of the board. The two sides of the boards are interconnected by hale with copper plating on their surface.
The boards’ surfaces where the components are to be mounted are coated with specialized materials as copper tends to oxidize at a quick rate.
After the completion of the etching process, the boards are coated with a layer of tin. This helps in maintaining their solderability even after storing them for a few months. The information about the various components present in a PCB can be printed on its surface using screen printing. New digital techniques have been developed for screen printing that can accurately print bar codes on the surface.
Before the connections are mounted on the board, every connection present on the board is tested. Various techniques may be used for the same. Specialized tests such as the “Bed of Needles” test are used in the case of PCBs that are mass-produced.
After the testing process is completed, the various components are mounted on the PCB. By using some techniques, the pins of the devices are inserted into the holes present on the PCB. This completes the manufacturing process of the PCB then, it needs a safety certification and then, it can be introduced into the market.
There are many examples of PCBs. For example, the motherboard present on the computer, the RAM, etc., is PCB. They are also used in various other devices such as remote controls, calculators, etc.

All of Chip Hanauer's boat-racing idols are dead: Jerry Bangs, Bill Muncey, Dean Chenoweth. All were killed driving unlimited hydroplanes. You've probably seen the pictures. One minute the 6,000-pound, 2,600-horsepower machines are skimming along at 160 mph, the next they are flipping over backward in what is called a blowover. So dangerous is the sport that Jim Murray of the Los Angeles Times once wrote, "In addition to the perils of crashing, burning, exploding, disintegrating, you can add the exhilaration you might also drown."
Hanauer, 38, narrowly avoided the last fate in 1981 after the first of his four career blowovers. He was thrown from the cockpit and pulled underwater when the parachute he was wearing to cushion a fall became tangled in the wreckage. Hanauer freed himself and bobbed to the surface, and now he has risen to the summit of this perilous pursuit. On Sunday on the Detroit River, Hanauer won his ninth Gold Cup, the Indianapolis 500 of hydro racing, at the wheel of Miss Budweiser. That victory gave him the record for the most Gold Cups, one more than Muncey won before he was killed in a 1981 race in Acapulco. "I am extremely fortunate to have survived [my early days] in racing," Hanauer says. He shrugs off accidents as "part of the sport," yet he helped pioneer the now mandatory closed cockpit, which was introduced in 1985.
After dominating the sport through the '80s, Hanauer felt burned out and left hydroplanes after the 1990 season to dabble in the comparatively safe world of auto racing. He drove well in IMSA's Firestone Firehawk series, but when he couldn't get sponsorship for a car in '92, he reluctantly returned to the hydros. He won seven of nine races last year, and the two he lost came after he suffered blowovers in practice. Despite breaking 13 ribs, Hanauer found he was once again enjoying himself on the water. "I had gotten sucked into tying up too much of my self-worth in trying to win boat races," he says. "I still want to win boat races—it is a passion—but it is much less of who I am."
He is, in fact, a 1976 cum laude graduate of Washington State who uses his degree in education to teach emotionally disturbed children in Seattle. He is also a bachelor and something of a loner—the night before the Gold Cup he attended The Will Rogers Follies by himself—and he still grabs a car ride when he can. Last January he drove a shift at the 24 Hours of Daytona. After 16 years in hydro cockpits, Hanauer could walk away with his 44 career victories and six national championships. But he chooses to chase the ghosts of his departed idols. "Chip has always struggled between boat racing and doing something significant, such as working with children," says his friend Lowell Cauffiel. "But the boats always call him back."
"I guess," says Hanauer with some resignation, "it's just part of me."
The thinking-man's daredevil drove his unlimited hydroplane, Miss Budweiser, to a record ninth Gold Cup victory.

According for the National Climate Assessment, we’re in big trouble. Their newest report is out, and we can expect temperatures across the country to rise two to four degrees over the next few decades, and three to five degrees by 2100. Less optimistic predictions say the temperature change will be more like five to 10 degrees higher by then. On top of that, we can expect more extreme weather along the east coast and more heat waves and droughts throughout the western states.
Of course, this all depends on emissions over the next few years. If we start tightening our fossil fuel belts, the outlook isn’t quite as grim, but we’d have to cut those emissions by something like 70 percent.
Otherwise we’ll be seeing more days over 100 degrees this summer:
And more heat-related deaths, something Chicago has unfortunately seen a lot of before…
The report also predicts we’ll have fewer hard frosts in the Midwest, more rain, and fewer cold events.

If you guys haven’t heard about Insomniac Games’ Sunset Overdrive yet, then consider this me filling you in. Exclusive for Xbox One, this is the craziest game I’ve seen in a while. It’s set in a fictional open world called Sunset City, where you play as an employee of FizzCo (this energy drink that’s turning people into orange blobby mutants) and fight said mutants with an array of crazy ass modified weapons – Teddy Bear grenade launcher, Vinyl Slingers etc. There are zip lines and grind rails, tones of Parkour and ridiculous amounts of bouncy objects to jump on. It’s Infamous meets Just Cause. It looks shit hot.
For those of you who have heard of the game, and are as excited as I am to get your hands on it, you need to check out the bundles that are becoming available. At Game you can get the Overcharge Delerium XT Edition bundle, which comes with the game and a whacky hoody. The hoody looks as insane as the game; half orange, half multi-coloured, with cans of FizzCo and cross hairs covering it. Ok, so maybe it’s a little out there, but it works out at about a tenner which is a bargain – the bundle is £54.99 and the game on its own is £44.99.
Another awesome bundle is the White Xbox One bundle. This is the first time the White Xbox One has become available to the public, and it comes with a copy of Sunset Overdrive thrown in. The bundle contains a 500GB Xbox with a matching white wireless controller. You can get it for £309.97 at Gamestop. It will go on sale on 31st October – the games release date.

Running recovery food/drink recommendation
Does anyone know of any decent recovery foods or drinks to take after a marathon? I have a pretty tight schedule coming up and I want to make sure that I give myself a fighting change of recovery.
I have heard that chocolate milk after running is a good idea but I went to a Nike spikes event recently and one of the coaches there said that it contains too much fat to be taken regularly after training.
Re: Running recovery food/drink recommendation
Lots of carbs, some protein, generally no/low fat and fiber. A banana or banana smoothie usually works well. Bread and pasta in some cases. Potatoes.

I know the importance of commitment and hard work and thought that business had to be a very serious environment…that was until we found Maui Wowi.
McAllen, Texas (PRWEB) March 25, 2015
Maui Wowi Hawaiian welcomes father-daughter team Alejandro Hinojosa and Pamela Hinojosa-Arce as the company’s newest franchisees. Located in South Texas, the Hinojosas plan to bring paradise to the Rio Grande Valley and open up new avenues for success and growth with this family built business.
Alejandro is the owner of a successful electrical contracting business and has grown it over the past 13 years with the help of his daughter. Pamela’s dream was to become a lawyer but after working in the industry, she realized she wanted to be involved with something that made her happy and would provide her with the flexibility to raise a family. She and Alejandro make a great team and say they understand what it takes to run a business.
“I know the importance of commitment and hard work and thought that business had to be a very serious environment…that was until we found Maui Wowi. We are so happy to have found a business that can be a balance of hard work and family time,” says Alejandro. “Maui Wowi offers a work environment where we can be happy and that is the most important thing in life.”
Their plan is to open a kiosk near South Padre Island; an area where the warm weather and laidback culture thrive. During the process of opening a kiosk, the Hinojosas don’t want to waste any time. Alejandro and Pamela will also operate a mobile event unit, known as the Ka’anapali Cart that can go to events, venues, festivals, and more all across the Rio Grande Valley and beyond.

Report on parking garage lighting
During winter 2012 shopping center Linjuri, located in Salo, southern Finland, parking garage lights were changed to Easy LED light fixtures. Technicians from Easy LED factory went on the spot before and after to measure lighting levels and to take reference photographs. Download full reports from links below.
After the installation energy consumption lowered by 5 kW, counted with full power. With dimming function savings are even more. If the lights were turned on 24/7 around the year, this would mean energy savings of 44.000 kWh, even without dimming of the lights.
Salo city chief of facilities Markku Kuusinen describes the project as “truly tremendous by quality of light and cost-effectiveness”. Plan is to follow the consumption numbers and possible maintenance operations in future, to get documented data on these matters.

Christine McCartney, an English language arts teacher at Newburgh Free Academy and graduate of the Master of Arts in Teaching program at SUNY New Paltz, has won a Distinguished Fulbright Award in Teaching.
The Fulbright scholarship program is a U.S. government international education exchange that promotes “mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries of the world,” according to their website.
McCartney was awarded the scholarship to meet with professors and observe classes at the University of Tempere in Finland.
McCartney was looking for a way to enhance her teaching practice over the summer, and said she found the application to the Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching program online.
She said the application process was an extensive one.
“It took me about three months to prepare,” McCartney said.
As a part of her bid for the scholarship, she said she had to make contacts in Finland and find someone who would agree to work with her.
“In what I considered a long shot, I wrote to Pasi Sahlberg [Finnish educator] and explained what I wanted to research and why and he put me in contact with a friend of his. I think that really increased my chances,” she said.
Save for one exam that students take at the end of high school, there are virtually no standardized tests in the Finnish education system, which McCartney said intrigued her.
“[They] train their teachers in a much more comprehensive way, in my opinion, and they trust teachers to do their jobs,” she said.
The autonomy that Finnish teachers hold in their classrooms is an aspect of schooling that McCartney said is lacking in “the states,” where standardized testing is overused. She said she hopes to bring some of those practices back with her.
McCartney arrived in Finland in March and will stay until June. In that time, she must attend two graduate courses and complete an “action-based” research project.
She said she plans to visit the arctic circle and spend time at rural schools in Inari with the help of a friend who is recording videos of her interviews, which she will use in her final project.
During her time in Finland, McCartney said she has observed a lot that can inform American education, in particular, student choice.
“Vocational schools are highly respected and many students enter them instead of traditional schools,” she said. “They are able to pursue the field they are interested in and intrinsically motivated to learn about.”
Upon her return, McCartney said she would like to design courses for teachers to conduct their own research in the classroom.
McCartney works with the Hudson Valley Writing Project (HVWP) and will be helping to facilitate the HVWP Summer Institute when she comes back.
“[The Summer Institute] is always such a rich learning environment, so I am sure my ideas for how to share my work with educators will grow tenfold out of that experience,” she said.

Nevertheless, HBsAg-based response-guided therapy is a valuable tool for optimization of PEG-IFN therapy, and can help with achieving higher response rates for every therapy course completed. Early AZD2014 purchase identification of nonresponders
may help make this treatment modality more acceptable to patients, physicians, and healthcare policy makers and possibly increase the cost-effectiveness of PEG-IFN in HBeAg-positive CHB. Limitations of the current study are that a subset of patients was treated with a combination of PEG-IFN + LAM. We have therefore performed separate analyses in patients treated with PEG-IFN alone, as shown in Table 4. We enrolled a majority of patients with HBV genotypes B and C compared with A and D, and further confirmation of our findings may therefore be required in the latter groups. Since only a limited group of patients achieved HBsAg loss, further studies may be required to confirm Neratinib mouse the high NPVs observed for this endpoint, particularly for patients with HBV genotypes
B and D. Previous studies have shown that patients with HBV genotype D respond poorly to PEG-IFN therapy and PEG-IFN may not be an optimal choice for some of these patients given the low rate of response we observed in the current cohort. In conclusion, the current study shows that HBsAg levels can be confidently used to guide therapy decisions in HBeAg-positive patients treated with PEG-IFN. Discontinuation of PEG-IFN treatment is indicated in all patients with HBsAg levels >20,000 IU/mL after 24 weeks of PEG-IFN therapy.

“Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection 上海皓元医药股份有限公司 is the major cause of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) worldwide, especially in the Asia–Pacific region. Several hepatitis B viral factors predictive of clinical outcomes in HBV carriers have been identified. The Risk Evaluation of Viral Load Elevation and Associated Liver Disease/Cancer-HBV (REVEAL-HBV) study from Taiwan illustrated the strong association between HBV-DNA level at study entry and risk of HCC over time. In this community-based cohort study, male gender, older age, high serum alanine aminotransferase level, positive hepatitis B e antigen, higher HBV-DNA level, HBV genotype C infection, and core promoter mutation are independently associated with a higher risk of HCC.


text: (Deutscher Text unten) In these days I keep asking myself, what relevance does my blog have at all? What relevance does my very personal (and maybe unilateral) view have considering what else is happening in this world. The terrorist attacks in Paris and also in Beirut (to be mentioned here equally) gave me a lot food for thought. Left me shocked, angry and sad at the same time. The attacks made me feel powerless – because I can’t stop the IS on my own, can’t stop the murdering. And I ask myself what can I do to give the world that we live in another hue. Another colouration than the hateful-power-hungry-mindless-egocentric deep black of the IS that threatens to devour the Middle East like a tar slick.

With all the talk about 5G, MWC didn’t disappoint with exploring different avenues to deploy 5G. Developed by Ericsson, China Mobile, and OceanAlpha, a 5G unmanned boat was revealed at a live Broadband IoT demo.
The demo showcased an environmental smart vessel that could quickly resolve water pollution by collecting water quality monitoring data, identify the potential cause of the pollutant with HD cameras, and take the necessary actions to rectify the pollutants.
The demonstration showed the OceanAlpha 5G unmanned boat in a pool, located outside the exhibition hall, and visitors could then issue an automatic driving instruction to the boat to drive the unmanned boat remotely through the console. Visitors could then interpret the driving environment information with the HD video returned by the boat camera and other real time information.
According to Ran Zhang, general manager of OceanAlpha, “Relying on 5G communication technology, OceanAlpha’s unmanned boat can conduct water area monitoring, VR back-end demonstration, water quality monitoring, remote application control, and autopilot. This will completely change the traditional operation of the hydrological survey, water quality sampling & monitoring, environmental law enforcement and other water ecological environment monitoring and supervision by effectively enhances data accuracy, reduces costs and improves work efficiency.”


The Peace region is sending resources to the fires in Fort McMurray. The Grande Prairie Regional Emergency Partnership has sent RCMP officers and emergency management team personnel. More staff and equipment will be dispatched if asked for by the Provincial Operations Centre.
At the same time, GPREP is making sure enough resources stay in the area, as both the city and county have issued outdoor fire bans. For community members who want to help, donations of material goods are not being accepted as they could distract from higher priority needs. All donations should be monetary through the Red Cross.
The Grande Prairie Fire Department remains on standby. There is no evacuation centre in the city.

|I am researching Peter LAWSON of Hawkins Co, TN.I have a copy of his marriage certificate to Martha Helton on 11/13/1874 in Hawkins Co, but I can find no earlier information on him or his ancestors. He died around 1930 in Scott Co, VA.|
Also researching the BLEDSOE, GIBSON, and BARNETTE families of the NE Tennessee/SW Virginia region I have traced these lines to Abraham BLEDSOE (b. abt. 1785), Burley Leander GIBSON (b. abt. 1875), and James BARNETT/BARNETTE (b. abt 1820), respectively. These are my father's lines.
In my mother's line I am seeking information on Kathryn MORGAN of Ohio. She was born 10/10/1885 and married my g-grandfather Frederick Raymond HALE on 8/12/1905 in Cuyahoga Falls, OH.
For my wife's line I need information on her g-grandfather, Henry Dashield BURROUGHS, b. abt. 1895. All the information we have for him is that he had a son of the same name, born in 1919, who worked for the Associated Press in Washington, D.C. during the 40's, 50's, and 60's.
Also need information on Elizabeth ANDERSON, born abt. 1920, possibly in Louisiana. She married Henry Dashield BURROUGHS Jr. abt. 1940 and died in the summer of 1962 in Rockville, Maryland.
