WAR! GOOD GOD Y’ALL! What is it good for? Ripping great yarns, massive movies and some of the finest cinema you’ve ever seen, that’s what! Here’s ten such movies that proved that war may have been hell for anyone involved in it, but heavenly to watch.
- The Great Escape
I don’t even need to describe this gripping tale of a World War 2 prisoner of war escape movie. Hell, the signature theme tune which is remarkably easy to whistle to, speaks mountains more of this classic movie.
When it comes to cult movies, Platoon would easily be at home on any top ten list. Willem Dafoe’s iconic death scene is seared into the brain of anyone who has seen the flick, as director Oliver Stone painted an unflattering image of the Vietnam war that cost the lives of many American soldiers in the most pointless conflict of the 20th century.
- Full Metal Jacket
If you’ve ever watched Full Metal Jacket, you most likely won’t remember more than the grueling boot camp scene which real-life drill instructor R. Lee Ermey acted several shades of improvised crap out of. Hellish and tormenting, Stanley Kubrick filmed a masterpiece that detailed how a human being was broken and rebuilt into a perfect killing machine, before being shipped off to Vietnam in order to be solicited by cheap sex workers.
- The Bridge On The River Kwai
Say what you like about the British, but when it comes to building a bridge for the Axis forces while being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment, those tea-sipping warriors are at the top of their game. With no chance of escape and morale dwindling, British colonel Alec Guinness uses an order to build a mighty bridge from camp commandant Sessue Hayakawa to not only keep his men in line, but subtly vie for power in a tense game where the stakes are far, far too high.
- Three Kings
It may have depicted a war in the movie houses where it was shown, but the battles behind the scenes of David O. Russell’s Gulf War epic were the stuff of legend as the director often clashed with star George Clooney.
But the payoff was so worth it, as Three Kings wasn’t only a gritty wartime film with heart and savvy political commentary, but packed with off the wall comedy as well.
- Saving Private Ryan
Drama, authentic action and a Normandy beach invasion that’d make you heave your guts. Not only was Stephen Spielberg’s wartime movie a grand and epic event, but it was also intimate at times, as audiences got to know the soldiers of the squad sent in to save one lone private during the height of the Allied offensive against the Axis forces. Grabbing you right from the start, the film equaled its impressive opening with a climax that saw soldiers die and a small European village reduced to even more rubble at the end.
- The Thin Red Line
Talk about bad timing. Chalked up as a poor clone of Saving Private Ryan, Terence Malick’s The Thin Red Line was an equally impressive movie when you actually sat down to watch it. Adapting the James Jones’ novel about the Battle of Guadalcanal in WWII’s Pacific theater, the tone was bleak, thought-provoking and a far cry different from the more kinetic film from senor Spielbergo.
Plus it had some rather fantastic action set-pieces that were sadly overlooked, as audiences didn’t flock to invade cinemas to see this particular wartime drama.
- Empire Of The Sun
Had your fill of World War 2 soldiers battling to come to grips with the horrors of war? Well how about a Batman origin story instead that finds a young caped crusader growing up in a Japanese prisoner of war camp instead? Well, that might be a bit of a stretch, but Christian Bale still brought plenty of fire to another Steven Spielberg movie set in WW2.
With the Allies having abandoned Shanghai, a 12 year old Bale has to survive several years in a POW camp that slowly chips away at his resolve, as he learns firsthand that in war, nobody wins.
- The Dirty Dozen
Chances are that if you’ve ever seen The Dirty Dozen, it was due to your dad badgering to sit down and watch it with him. And you know what? Your daddy was right! A dozen misfits banding together, ready to take on a suicidal mission is a great premise on its own, but chuck in the star power of actors such as Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson and Donald Sutherland, and you’ve got a recipe for an action movie starring a bunch of lovable bastards.
- Starship Troopers
Wait what? You’re telling me that the Earth/Klendathu conflict makes for one of the finest movies of all time? Hell yeah it does! Starship Troopers had it all: Propaganda, thinly-veiled fascism and some of the best action scenes this side of a blitzball match.
Paul Verhoevern was in fine form when he shot this flick, asking audiences if they wanted to know more and then dropping them into a bloody conflict that saw the body count soar while limbs and heads were severed. It’s most likely the only film on this list that’ll make you pump your fist in the air and yell “f*** yeah!”.

It was with great interest that I read this morning's article (Aug. 2 edition of the Parma Post) on the Parma City Schools. Another tax levy? What happened to the $13 million in excess funds that were "found" this past spring? There was no mention about the "found money" in this article. Are they hoping taxpayers won't remember?
The school board has got to stop depending on the taxpayers to pay all their bills. Find another way to finance the school district.

Due to the fact that the omicron variant was formed in the body of people with immunodeficiency and due to the fact that there are many such people, it is now easily tolerated. At the same time, according to the pulmonologist Sergei Puryasev, this is actually always good, since the human body does not seem to notice this virus. However, in the treatment of coronavirus, this feature can help, because with a strong immune response to an infection, the body can even kill itself, and this does not happen with a weakened immunity.
As “Life” reports with reference to “Izvestia”, the head of the Research Institute of Viral Infections at the “Vector” Center of Rospotrebnadzor, Alexander Semyonov, the recently discovered strain is able to cause pneumonia faster – already 3-5 days after infection. However, the WHO has not yet reported a single case of death due to omicron. According to the South African Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not a single infected person has yet been connected to a ventilator.

Scrikss Fountain Pens
Scrikss, a Turkish pen manufacturer established in 1964, boasts a flourishing legacy spanning over 50 years. The Spanish word 'Scrikss' is derived from the word 'Escriure,' which means 'writing' in the Catalan language, hints at their dedication to the craft.
The legendary SCRIKSS Fountain pen 419, has gained the great appreciation of pen lovers all around the world. It is being re-produced in limited edition to create a pleasant nostalgia. For what was once only a household name in Turkey, has now become a much-loved global brand among pen lovers and collectors of fine stationery.
These are some of the best pens for moleskine and tomoe river paper notebooks. If you find yourself having a little ink accident with one of these fountain pens and handmade leather bound writing journal, don't fret. We're created a guide on how to remove pen ink for times such as these.
The History of Scrikss
During the Spanish Civil War that ended in 1939, Scrikss, known to have started producing fountain pens in Albacete, Spain, sold his name right to Mowe SA, a Swiss company, in the late 50s. All rights related to the brand was then sold onto the Turkish company Scrikss Maden ve Plastik Sanayi A.Ş.
Since 1964, the company has been producing Scrikss ballpoint pens in its own factory building at Bahçelievler, Old London Asphalt.
The first Turkish fountain pen was produced in 1966 under the Scrikss brand. Except for the tip of this pen, code number 17, everything was manufactured domestically.
In 1974, a meeting with the French brand Waterman was held. Waterman's world-famous boss, Francine Gomez, agreed on a deal to licence production of the Jif-Waterman fountain pen to the Scrikss company in Turkey.
Scrikss commenced the production of Jif-Waterman fountain pen cartridges and ink.
The company celebrated its 45th anniversary in 2009 and produced special items to mark the special date.
In 2020, Scrikss re-produced their iconic 419 model fountain pen with new colors, a piston filler acrylic resin fountain pen.
Today, Scrikss continues to be a beloved pen brand, especially for their iconic 419 model reintroduced in 2020 with vibrant colors and a piston-filling mechanism.

It's that time of year when bloggers and social networkers churn out predictable lists of goals and aims for the coming 12 months.
Why should I buck tradition?
I'm not going to include the boring "become a better person", "lose weight" or "learn to paint" articles. They never happen, anyway. I'm 36 and still fat, unskilled and reprehensible.
Instead, here's what I intend to do with my gaming this year, and related topics, in no particular order. (that's clearly a lie. They appear in the order I thought of them)
Use the hundreds of interesting pictures I've downloaded over the past year. No, not porn. I already use those. I refer to the pictures of murder, monsters and weird shit I've stumbled across.
Run Pathfinder, Trail of Cthulhu, Changeling: the Lost and Mage: the Awakening this year, amongst others.
Blog with more regularity. I found a link to this blog listed under dead, irregular and (something else) blog's earlier today.
Probably true, but an uncomfortable truth.
Get a new, decent laptop. I broke our Samsung laptop earlier in the year, and my wife bought herself a netbook as a replacement, which is incredibly shit. Remarkably shit. And tiny.
So I'm putting money aside every month to get myself something worth having, which I will use for gaming prep, writing and blogging.
Invest in my gaming group. I would really like to build up my gaming group, attract new players and give a wide range of gaming options to our players.
Improve as a GM. I think I'm pretty good at running games, but not perfect. I've only just started saying "yes" more than I say "no", and I'm still pretty weak at preparation.

Re: Deleting objects from all maps
No. Synchronization is the process by which ipmap makes the map database match
the topology database and ipmap can only be

In My Humble Opinion, 8 maps is too many but that is your choice to make. You

WASHINGTON - The No. 10/9 Georgetown University women's lacrosse squad (1-0) will face the No. 20/19 Towson University Tigers (1-0) in a Saturday afternoon matchup at Unitas Stadium in Baltimore, Md. This contest kicks off a three-game road swing as the Blue & Gray travels to No. 17/15 Princeton and No. 5/6 Duke next week.
The Hoyas opened the season on a good note Saturday with a 19-11 victory over the University of Delaware Blue Hens at Multi-Sport Field.
Sophomore attacker Corinne Etchison (Eldersburg, Md./McDonogh School) and senior midfielder Hannah Franklin (Phoenix, Md./McDonogh School) both had four goals and an assist on the afternoon for five points apiece. Freshman attacker Colleen Lovett (Wantagh, N.Y./Wantagh) added the hat trick in her debut on the Hilltop, while senior midfielder Kelyn Freedman (Newtown Square, Pa./Radnor) and junior attacker Caroline Tarzian (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City) both notched two goals and two assists each.

Senior midfielder Katie Leech and junior defender Michelle Dufault had a pair of caused turnovers each to lead the defensive efforts. Junior Kelsea Donnelly made eight saves to earn the win in goal.
Georgetown is 10-7 all-time against the Tigers and 3-2 on the road. The Hoyas have won the last 10 meetings, but only one has come under current Head Coach Ricky Fried. Last year, GU won at home, 13-10, behind five goals from Tarzian as well as three points from both Freedman and Franklin.
The opening draw is scheduled for 3 p.m., at Unitas Stadium in Baltimore, Md. Live stats and a webcast will be available through www.GUHoyas.com. The game will be the second in a doubleheader as Georgetown's men's lacrosse squad will face the Tigers in the first game of the afternoon.

I rented several SUP brands and looked for over 6 months for a board until I chose this one which came with everything. My SUP is fantastic Great value - Super steady glides right along comes with three fins and you can easily have a dog or child with you on this board, much better than most boards which only have a 200 lb capacity and are too low in the water for enjoyment NOT this board capacity is over 300 - The size is perfect for anyone I received the board quickly, it fit in my trunk easily and took it straight too the lake - SUP comes with a super light three piece paddle so good for me, my adult kids and grandchild s height . The pump was super easy and the board was blown up and ready to use in less than 5 minutes.

What’s In A Name?
By Ben Stout
Ever wonder about the “lava” in Lava Lake Lamb? The closest neighbor to our ranch is the Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve, an area dominated by volcanic rock. This volcanic rock forms the natural lake bed at the edge of the main ranch headquarters, thus the name Lava Lake Lamb.
Last summer, I had the privilege of working for the National Park Service at Craters of the Moon, surveying biodiversity and conducting weed control. Each day, I brought my camera along, hoping to capture some of the beauty of what Calvin Coolidge, who designated the Monument in 1924, described as “a weird and scenic landscape peculiar to itself.” Below are some of my best shots from Craters of the Moon.
This summer I am again lucky enough to work in the field, this time for Lava Lake, gathering data on plant community health and managing invasive species. In my short time on the job, I have found that, in many ways, Coolidge’s words apply to the area surrounding Craters of the Moon, particularly the land on which Lava Lake operates. Rest assured my camera will be along for the ride as my work takes me far afield in our 900,000 acre operating area. I can’t wait to see the results!

The project is shaped by the fundamental act of digging into the earth and carving it, this act creates two spaces that shape the site of the Cultural Centre, that is, a bund formed by the earth scooped out, along three sides of the site, and a courtyard around which the functions of the institution are organized.
The building is sited on the upper level of the site and the lower level is offered as a garden. The bund dissolves the sharp boundary line between the site and the town, and simultaneously creates a protective armature around the site. Gaps in the bund offer multiple entries to the cultural centre and space within. The main vehicular entrance is a large ramp, starting from the south-west corner of the site, and leading down to the courtyard which is sunk 5 mts. below grade.

Yesterday afternoon a live broadcast announced the biggest blockchain deal in history so far, and one that could destroy barriers to opportunities in the african continent and power African economic growth in the years to come.
In partnership with Ethiopia's Ministry of Education, Input Output will create a blockchain-based digital identity for 5 million students and teachers. This is the biggest blockchain deployment anywhere in the world. Using Cardano with Atala Prism, this technology will create a national attainment recording system; to verify grades, monitor school performance, and boost nationwide education.
This is just the first step to realising Cardano's goal of becoming the World Operating System. Their technology is capable and scalable to provide Identity services to millions of people, and thus enabling banking the unbanked, another worthy goal that the organisation is working towards.
To allow access to online services people need to have connection to the internet first, as internet service providers do not serve remote and rural communities because of the high cost of providing the service. To alleviate this and ensure that internet access is available cheaply and reliably to everyone, Input Output, the company that created the Cardano blockchain (now fully decentralized), has partnered with World Mobile. Input Output's partnership with World Mobile will lay the infrastructure foundations for a totally connected Africa. Using Cardano blockchain technology to help empower remote and hard-to-reach areas across the continent. So everyone gets an equal chance to access services and opportunities, no matter where they live.
As there are only around 100 million cryptocurrency users across the world at the moment, this deal brings a fresh and young 5 million new users, which will represent 5% of the existing user base. With deals in the pipeline with Tanzania and numerous other African countries, there is a case for believing that the impetus for the growth of the Crypto user base will come not from the industrialized nations, but from places, like Africa, parts of Asia, Eastern Europe, South America, where Crypto is not a curiosity and an investment vehicle, but a necessity to transact and store value and access education and financial services. Just think of what difference, for example, access to crop failure insurance could do to agricultural communities. It could really mean the difference between being able to feed your family or not in case of a bad harvest.
You can watch the recording of the announcement below, and maybe be inspired to explore blockchain technology to make a difference to projects close to your heart. https://youtu.be/yRjj662kJsk
Please share your comments below on what you believe the biggest impact you can foresee being triggered by this announcement, and join me in the Crypto Investor Circle https://app.geniusu.com/mentor_circles/1544?a_aid=luca , where we can discuss the wonders of this new technology and how to take advantage of it for true impact investing.

§ 880-X-3A-.06. Revegetation: Surface Coal Mine Operators
The following regulations are adopted in lieu of 30 CFR 715.20 of the Federal Interim Program.
1. The permittee shall establish on all land that has been disturbed, a diverse, effective, and permanent vegetative cover of species native to the area of disturbed land or species that will support the planned postmining land uses of the land approved according to 30 CFR 715.13. For areas designated as prime farmland, the reclamation procedures of 30 CFR 716.7 shall apply.
2. Revegetation shall be carried out in a manner that encourages a prompt vegetative cover and recovery of productivity levels compatible with approved land uses. The vegetative cover shall be capable of stabilizing the soil surface with respect to erosion. All disturbed lands, except water areas and surface areas of roads that are approved as a part of the postmining land use, shall be seeded or planted to achieve a vegetative cover of the same seasonal variety native to the area of disturbed land. If both the pre- and postmining land use is intensive agriculture, planting of the crops normally grown will meet the requirement. Vegetative cover will be considered of the same seasonal variety when it consists of a mixture of species of equal or superior utility for the intended land use when compared with the utility of naturally occurring vegetation during each season of the year.
3. On Federal lands, the surface management, agency shall be consulted for approval prior to revegetation regarding what species are selected, and following revegetation, to determine when the area is ready to be used.
(b) Use of introduced species. Introduced species may be substituted for native species only if appropriate field trials have demonstrated that the introduced species are of equal or superior utility for the approved postmining land use, or are necessary to achieve a quick, temporary, and stabilizing cover. Such species substitution shall be approved by the State Regulatory Authority. Introduced species shall meet applicable State and Federal seed or introduced species statutes, and shall not include poisonous or potentially toxic species.
(c) Timing of revegetation. Seeding and planting of disturbed areas shall be conducted during the first normal period for favorable planting conditions after final preparation. The normal period for favorable planting shall be that planting time generally accepted locally for the type of plant materials selected to meet specific site conditions and climate. Any disturbed areas, except water areas and surface areas of roads that are approved under 30 CFR 715.13 as part of the postmining land use, which have been graded shall be seeded with a temporary cover of small grains, grasses, or legumes to control erosion until an adequate permanent cover is established. When rills or gullies, that would preclude the successful establishment of vegetation or the achievement of the postmining land use, form in regraded topsoil and overburden materials as specified in 30 CFR 715.14, additional regrading or other stabilization practices will be required before seeding and planting.
(d) Mulching. Mulch shall be used on all regraded and topsoiled areas to control erosion, to promote germination of seeds, and to increase the moisture retention of the soil. Mulch shall be anchored to the soil surface where appropriate, to ensure effective protection of the soil and vegetation. Mulch means vegetation residues or other suitable materials that aid in soil stabilization and soil moisture conservation, thus providing micro-climatic conditions suitable for germination and growth, and do not interfere with the postmining use of the land. Annual grains such as oats, rye, and wheat may be used instead of mulch when it is shown to the satisfaction of the State Regulatory Authority that the substituted grains will provide adequate stability and that they will later be replaced by species approved for the postmining use.
(e) Methods of vegetation.
1. The permittee shall use technical publications or the results of laboratory and field tests approved by the State Regulatory Authority to determine the varieties, species, seeding rates, and soil amendment practices essential for establishment and self-regeneration of vegetation. The State Regulatory Authority shall approve species selection and planting plans.
2. Where hayland, pasture, or range is to be the postmining land use, the species of grasses, legumes, browse, trees, or forbs for seeding or planting and their pattern of distribution shall be selected by the permittee to provide a diverse, effective, and permanent vegetative cover with the seasonal variety, succession, distribution, and regenerative capabilities native to the area. Livestock grazing will not be allowed on reclaimed land until the seedlings are established and can sustain managed grazing. The State Regulatory Authority, in consultation with the permittee and the landowner or in concurrence with the governmental land-managing agency having jurisdiction over the surface, shall determine when the revegetated area is ready for livestock grazing.
3. Where forest is to be the postmining land use, the permittee shall plant trees adapted for local site conditions and climate. Trees shall be planted in combination with a herbaceous cover of grains, grasses, legumes, forbs, or woody plants to provide a diverse, effective, and permanent vegetation cover with the seasonal variety, succession, and regeneration capabilities native to the area.
4. Where wildlife habitat is to be included in the postmining land use, the permittee shall consult with appropriate State and Federal wildlife and land management agencies and shall select; those species that will fulfill the needs of wildlife, including food, water, cover and space. Plant groupings and water resources shall be spaced and distributed to fulfill the requirements of wildlife.
(f) Standards for measuring success of revegetation.
1. Success of revegetation shall be measured on the basis of "adequate vegetative cover" which shall be defined as a vegetative cover capable of self-regeneration and plant succession, and sufficient to control soil erosion. In establishing adequate vegetative cover, the permittee shall recommend as part of its reclamation plan, and the satisfactory reclamation plan shall prescribe, in the following conditions:
(i) A planting of the affected area upon completion of contouring and/or soil preparation at the earliest possible time within the next growing season appropriate to the vegetative plant species used.
(ii) The permanent planting of any of the plant species in the following table. Revegetation shall not be restricted to these species; where an operator desires to use other species, he shall so provide in his proposed reclamation plan or proposed amendment thereto. The suggested species table shall be:
Longleaf pine Tall fescue
(Pinus palustris) (Festuca arundinacea)
Loblolly pine Common bermuda
(Pinus taeda) (Cynodon dactylon)
Virginia pine Bahia
(Pinus virginiana) (paspalum notatum)
(a) Sycamore Weeping love grass
(Plantanus occidentalis) (Eragrostis curvula)
European black alder Redtop
(Alnus glutinosa) (Agrostis alba)
Sawtooth oak (a) Johnson grass
(Quercus acutissima) (Sorghum halepense)
Slash pine Deer tongue
(Pinus elliottii) (Panicum clandestinum)
Shrubs Cereals and Annuals
Autumn olive Abruzzi rye
(Elaeagnus umbellata) (Secale cereale)
Bristly locust Brown top
(Robinia fertilis) (Panicum ramosum)
(a) Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)
Legumes* (a) Sorghum-Sundangrass
Vulgar X S. sudanese
(Lespedeza bicolor) (a) Sundangrass
Crownvetch (Coronilla varia)
Vetch (Vicia sativa)
Sericea (Lespedeza cuneata)
Kobe (Lespedeza striate)
(a) Sweet clover (Melilotus alba and Melilotus officinalis)
(a) Alfalfa (Medicago sativa)
* All legumes must be treated with the proper inoculum.
(a) Suitable for alkaline soils
(iii) Permanent vegetation shall be deemed adequate vegetative cover if the vegetation has survived two growing seasons, and if the following standards are observed:
(I) Legumes and perennial grass must cover at least 80% of the affected soil surface. Areas of less than 80% cover shall not exceed one-fourth acre in size nor total more than 20% of the area planted.
(II) Tree and shrub species shall be at such a density to provide a minimum of 435 established seedlings per acre of mine soil. A minimum of 200 seedlings per acre will be allowed on one-half (1/2) acre within each five (5) acres of planting. Additional seeding or planting must be performed to make up any deficiency.
(III) Where this provision relative to revegetation would be inconsistent with the proposed use, the reclamation plan shall be reviewed and acted upon in accordance with the approved use. In any event, the reclamation plan must provide for expeditious stabilization of the area.
2. Exceptions may be authorized by the State Regulatory Authority for --
(i) Previously mined areas that were not reclaimed to the standards required by this Chapter prior to the effective date of these regulations. The ground cover of living plants for such areas shall not be less than required to control erosion, and in no case less than that existing before redisturbance;
(ii) Areas to be developed immediately for industrial or residential use. The ground cover of living plants shall not be less than required to control erosion. As used in this paragraph, immediately means less than 2 years after regrading has been completed for the area to be used; and
(iii) Areas to be used for agricultural cropland purposes. Success in revegetation of cropland shall be determined on the basis of crop production from the mined area compared to the reference area. Crop production from the mined area shall be equal to that of the approved reference area for a minimum of two growing seasons. Production shall not be considered equal if it is less than 90 percent of the production of the reference area for any significant portion of the mined area.
3. Species diversity, distribution, seasonal variety, and vigor shall be evaluated on the basis of the results which could reasonably be expected using the methods of revegetation approved under paragraph (e) of this rule.
(g) Seeding of stockpiled topsoil. Topsoil stockpiled in compliance with 30 CFR 715.16 must be seeded or planted with an effective cover of nonnoxious, quick growing annual and perennial plants during the first normal period for favorable planting conditions or protected by other approved measures as specified in 30 CFR 715.16.

Notes from the Field: Outbreak of Infections Caused by Shigella sonnei with Decreased Susceptibility to Azithromycin — Los Angeles, California, 2012
In May 2012, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health's Acute Communicable Disease Control Unit and Environmental Health, Food, and Milk Program investigated an outbreak of shigellosis associated with a private bridge club. This investigation documented the first known transmission of Shigella sonnei with decreased susceptibility to azithromycin in the United States.
Cases were defined as an illness clinically compatible with shigellosis in a patient or S. sonnei isolated from stool of a person with an epidemiologic link to the bridge club during May 22–26, 2012. Investigators attempted to interview all bridge club workers and members who had visited the bridge club during the week of May 22; they collected stool specimens from workers who handled food and from workers and members with diarrhea who had not already submitted a stool specimen for culture at a health facility. Thirty-nine cases were identified among club members with diarrhea and four among club workers; of the four workers, two, including one who handled food, reported no symptoms. The average age of affected persons was 75.3 years (range: 54–98 years); 55% were female. Among those with symptoms, the duration of illness averaged 5.9 days (range: 1–14 days). Common symptoms included diarrhea in 95% of patients, abdominal cramps in 70%, and fever in 56%. Thirty-one (72%) persons sought medical care, and 10 (23%) were hospitalized. No specific exposures implicated a source for the outbreak.
Among the 43 cases, 14 were culture-confirmed; 10 isolates underwent pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), yielding indistinguishable patterns. Four isolates submitted to CDC's National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) displayed resistance to streptomycin, sulfisoxazole, tetracycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Unlike most Shigella isolates tested by NARMS, these isolates also showed elevated azithromycin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of >16 µg/mL (1) and harbored a plasmid-encoded macrolide resistance gene, mphA (2).
CDC's PulseNet identified two additional isolates indistinguishable from the outbreak PFGE pattern. One was from a man in Pennsylvania aged 23 years who had visited Los Angeles in April, and the other from a man in Hawaii aged 53 years who visited Los Angeles during April and May; both men were hospitalized with diarrhea. Neither case was epidemiologically linked to the bridge club or to each other.
Although sporadic cases of shigellosis caused by Shigella strains with increased azithromycin MICs have occurred, this is the first outbreak documented in the United States and might indicate increasing circulation of such strains (1). Illnesses in this outbreak tended to be severe; however, the affected population was much older than the general U.S. population. Clinical management of such illnesses is likely to be complex; although azithromycin currently is recommended for treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant Shigella, options for alternative treatment among children with such infections primarily include parenteral antimicrobial medications (3,4).
Guidelines for azithromycin susceptibility testing and criteria for interpretation of MICs for Shigella species have not been published. Clinicians are urged to report azithromycin treatment failure among shigellosis patients to public health authorities and to retain Shigella isolates from such cases for further analysis.

For our free coronavirus pandemic coverage, learn more here.
All Australian states and territories will begin testing hotel quarantine staff daily and quarantine international aircrew amid fears a highly infectious British variant of the coronavirus could spread locally.
The premiers and chief ministers also agreed to pre-flight testing and masks will be made mandatory on all international and domestic flights.
Other leaders pushed for weekly testing of hotel quarantine workers, but finally agreed to daily testing, the Victorian government has confirmed to The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald.
NSW Health announced this week that all staff working across the state's hotel quarantine program would be screened daily by the end of February.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said national cabinet had decided to take "a number of actions" that relate to quarantine and flights to "reduce and debulk the risk in terms of exposure to the new strain".
Caps on international arrivals in NSW, Western Australia, in Queensland will be reduced by 50 per cent until February 15, and travellers to Australia must now return a negative COVID-19 test result prior to their departure.
"There will be exemptions in extenuating circumstances. This could include for seasonal workers from amber-risk countries where there is limited access to testing," he said.
"Individuals - including travellers and staff - must undertake measures for infection prevention and control for international travel," Mr Morrison said.
The Prime Minister also said the Commonwealth had declared Brisbane a hotspot after the new, more transmissible strain of the coronavirus was detected in a quarantine hotel cleaner. He said 80 per cent of Australians registered overseas are now in countries where the new strain of COVID-19 is evident.
"The situation in Brisbane is a serious situation... It moves so quickly - far more quickly than previous strains of the virus - and that means we need to give our contact tracers that head start to ensure that they can track down and run down all of the contacts from this individual and ensure that they can be identified," he said.
The Victorian government had been pushing for the rest of the country to adopt its strengthened hotel quarantine procedures, with Premier Daniel Andrews cutting short his leave to press the state's case at national cabinet.
Before the 10am meeting, Mr Andrews told reporters he expected the federal government to endorse Victoria's proposal and that he believed his state and territory counterparts would adopt it.
"I'm very confident that we will see issues like pre-flight testing, issues like flight crew being tested when they get here, being treated in effect as they were a returned traveller, a whole range of measures that we've pushed and advocated for particularly in light of the UK strain, I believe they'll be adopted by national cabinet," Mr Andrews said on Friday morning.
"Given the extremely infectious and contagious nature of this UK variant, it is very, very important that we do everything we can, never making it 100 per cent risk free, but each additional layer is about keeping each of us safe."
During his press conference, Mr Andrews urged his state and territory counterparts to learn from Victoria's "bitter experience" of the state's second wave of the coronavirus pandemic, which infected more than 20,000 people and killed about 800.
"Victorians would urge and recommend to every single government across the nation: our plan, the way we're doing it is the best way to go," he said.
"Test every day, and then test their family weekly, and advance contact trace their family so you don't have someone who's working in aged care sharing a house with someone who's working at a hotel site."
The Victorian government forced Melbourne into one of the world's strictest and longest lockdowns to contain the second wave of the pandemic after it escaped hotel quarantine.
An inquiry into the bungling of the scheme uncovered poor infection control processes and found the Andrews government did not adequately consider the risks of the program.

Dogs take the lead when it comes to winning human empathy
Two years ago Harrison’s Fund, a medical research charity, tried an experiment. It printed two adverts, both of which asked: “Would you give £5 to save Harrison from a slow, painful death?” The only difference was, in one of the adverts Harrison was a human, in the other he was a dog.
Would anyone be surprised to learn that Harrison the dog got significantly more clicks than Harrison the human? Certainly not the researchers behind a recent study into human-dog empathy. They found that people are consistently more distressed by reports of dogs being beaten up than they are by the same reports about adult humans.
For their research, published in the journal Society & Animals, they presented 240 students with a fake newspaper

Introduction: Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN) is an uncommon but fatal cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The complex pathophysiology of the disorder provides multiple points for intervention. Therefore, it is important to discuss the many multifaceted aspects of the disease. Methods: A scoping review was performed using PubMed, Google Scholar, and ClinicalTrials.gov. We reviewed literature from 1990 to 2021. The keywords used were ‘acute esophageal necrosis’, ‘upper GI bleed’, ‘pathogenesis’, ‘EGD’, ‘prognosis’. Results and conclusions: The review summarized findings of 46 studies. AEN usually targets older males who have underlying cardiovascular disease. The middle part of the esophagus is commonly involved. The pathogenesis of AEN depends on conditions that increase risk of mucosal damage such as ischemia, lack of mucosal protection and excessive gastric reflux. Some medications are also responsible for the disease. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy is usually the gold standard for diagnosis. Findings suggestive of AEN include darkened, sharply demarcated circumferential areas. Supportive measures, including bowel rest, fluid supplementation and proton pump inhibitors are the cornerstone of therapy. A high index of suspicion should be maintained in patients with chronic health problems presenting with signs and symptoms of upper gastrointestinal bleeding because AEN can carry an unfavorable prognosis in these patients.

If I have an application which is using .NET Remoting, so I have a remoting host, which is an exe, I have a client who’s is going to launch remote objects. Also I’m going to have them in separate exes. I can normally run only 1 Exe at a time within the same solution. And so typically what I have to do is after I launch the client I have to go to the host and explicitly start the host to get the second exe I need to work with and then the two are actually going to be talking with each other.
Now this is kind of tedious. What I can do instead is I could go to the solution properties, select multiple startup projects and select the projects I want to start, in which case I want to start the host and I want to start the client. I can even change the order in which the client or the host are going to be started. Now when I click okay if I click the go button VS.NET is going to launch the two exes and it’s going to attach itself to them so I’m going to have the same debug session for both exes. Very handy and useful when dealing with multiple exes.
2. If I try to compile a new project and deliberately add some compilation errors to i. After trying to build, If I look at the task list I'm going to see that the errors of compilation is being added as a task for me to fix. I can also explicitly go and add a task in my task list. Now you can also do // and type to do. And it turns out that to do is a recognized token by VS.NET and the moment you say to do it would add that line to the task list. And you can actually your own constants and your own token to the task list. If you go to tools, options, task list you can add your own custom Task List. Having your own custom task list will be helpful when you’re looking for other things to do in your project you don’t have to literally do a search in all files and look for to dos. Just look at the task list, it will show you all the things you need to do.
3. In C# only there’s something called pre and post build action. This allows you to run a command line before and after a build. I want to do some pre and post-build action in that class library. So if I go to the project properties I have build Events. This command line, the pre-build defense is going to be executed before the build starts. A typical thing to do in the prebuild is to do a clean build, meaning remove all bin folders. A post-build allows you to run something after the build. A typical thing you want to do is you’re going to maybe install this class library in the GAC on every build.
I read these tips from an MSDN article by Jual Lowy the Great(yup ... a Software Legend too). I found it very useful.

Comparison of the Formal Specification Languages Based Upon Various Parameters Dr. A.K.Sharma, Monika Singh Mody Institute of Technology and Science (MITS), Lakshmangarh, Rajasthan
Abstract:This paper focus on various Formal method and Formal specification languages and choosing the appropriate one for a particular problem. It describes how a particular specification language is used for a specific problem. A comparison of different formal specification languages is done taking various parameters. Keywords:Formal method, Formal specification language, schema.
One of the major problems with software intensive system is the inadequacy of system and software specification. The requirements should usually define the major functions of the system and/or software adequately, but many of the details which should be drawn out, cleaned up, and solidified in a more detailed specification are not addressed. This causes inconsistencies and misinterpretations which consequently cause problems in later stages of design and implementation. These problems are often recognized in the integration stages of system. There are software development methods based on graphical techniques, such as data-flow diagrams, finite state machines, and entity relationship diagrams which are proved helpful in developing better specifications, but these lack precisions in details of the specification, and a smooth way in developing a design and implementation. The formal specification methods overcome these problems. They specify the system precisely, and provide a smooth way from specification through design to implementation. There are successful applications of formal methods to real-life, complex software specifications for example, CICS work at IBM , and the oscilloscope work at Tectronix. There are a number of formal specification languages such as Z notation, OCL, VDM, LARCH etc. Basically all these formal specification languages include – formal specification, refinement, and verification which in term consist of set theory, logics, and algebra etc. The primary goal of our current endeavors is to compare these formal specification languages on the basis of their syntax.
Z notation is based on typed set theory and first-order logic. Z provides a construct, called a schema, to describe a specification‘s state and operations. A schema groups variable declarations with a list of predicates that constrain the possible value of variable. Some Z notation concept Data Invariant-A data invariant is a condition that is true throughout the execution of the system. State-In Z specification, the state is represented by the system‘s stored data. Operation-Operation is an action that takes place within a system and read or writes data. Three types of conditions are associated with operation: Invariant-an invariant define what is guaranteed not to change. Precondition- a precondition defines the circumstances in which a particular operation is valid. Postcondition- postcondition of an operation define what is guaranteed to be true upon completion of an operation. This is defined by its effect on data. For example, Block handler – maintains a reservoir of unused blocks and will also keep track of blocks that are currently in use. When blocks are released from a deleted file they are normally added to queue of blocks waiting to be added to the reservoir of unused blocks. Now in Z notation , this has been depicted schematically as follow: BLOCKS- a set BLOCKS will consist of every block number. ALLBLOCKS- is a set of blocks that lie between 1 and MAXBLOCKS. The state will be modeled by two sets- used and free. The state can be described as Used, free: BLOCKS BlockQueue: seq P BLOCKS The above description tells that used and free will be sets of blocks and that BlockQueue will be a sequence, each element of which will be a set of blocks. The data invariant can be written as www.iosrjournals.org

Comparison Of The Formal Specification Languages Based Upon Various Parameters Used ^ free = null Used U free = AllBlocks The precondition and postcondition is also verified like this, mathematically. In Z specification language we use the set theory, logics, and algebra.
OCL (Object constraint language)
The Object Constraint Language (OCL) is an expression language which describes constraint on object-oriented languages and on other modeling artifacts. OCL is part of Unified Modeling Language (UML) and also play an important role in the analysis phase of software lifecycle. Traditional graphical model, like class models are not enough for a precise and unambiguous specification. For that we need to implement some additional constraint on the objects. But the problem with the traditional formal method is that one have a good grip on mathematics, hence are difficult for average business or system modeler to use. To fill this gap, OCL has been developed. It has been developed as a business modeling language within the IBM Insurance division. Since OCL is an expression language, the state of the system will never change by imposing constrain on the object. It just limit their range. The state of the objects in system cannot change during evaluation. Some of the OCL notations are given below: Some OCL notation Cf() – Apply the built-in operation f to collection C. X.Y – Obtain the property Y of object X. C1 includesAll(C2) —True if every element of C2 is found in C1. CisEmpty() – True if C has no element. Csize() – The number of elements in collection C. S1intersection(S2) – The set of those elements found in S1 and also in S2. Block Handler, for example the very first step for using OCL  is to develop a UML model (class diagram), which specifies many relationship among the objects involved; however we should also add OCL expression to ensure that implementers of system know more precisely what they must ensure remain true as the system runs. For Example:-No block will be marked as both used and unused. Context BlockHandler inv: self.usedintersection(self.free)) isEmpty() Here, context indicates the element of the UML diagram that the expression constrains. And the keyword self refer to the instance of object (in this case instance of BlockHandler). Self.a defines the ‗a‘ attribute or property of object.One of the plus point of using OCL is that it is more friendly to people who are less mathematically inclined. Also it is more easily processed by computer. But it makes OCL a little wordy in places.
Vdm (Vienna Development Method)
VDM refers to a collection of techniques for formal specification and development of computing systems. Basically it includes specification language called VDM-SL, rules for data and operation refinement, and a proof theory. VDM-SL is a model-oriented specification language. i.e a specification in VDM-SL consists of a mathematical model built from simple data types like sets, lists, and mappings, along with operations which change the state of the model. For example, a specification of a hotel reservation system would contain a mapping from room number to names and addresses of occupants (modeled as character strings), along with the operation to add and remove guests and rooms occupation dates etc. A formal Model in VDM is composed of Basic types,Defined types (with many useful constructors),Invariant of those types, Explicit function definition (include precondition), and Implicit definitions (postcondition).There is also tool available for VDM specifications. SpecBox is such an industrialized tool for inputting, checking and printing VDM specifications [4, 5]. It is used in industries of avionics, civil nuclear, railway, security applications and in academic applications.
SDL (Specification and Description Language)
SDL is an object-oriented formal language which is defined by The International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunications Standardization sector. SDL basically intended for specification of complex, eventdriven, real-time, and interactive applications involving many concurrent activities that communicate using discrete signals. Instead of schema in Z notation or Class model in OCL, SDL  system consists of a set of extended Finite State Machines (FSMs) that run in parallel. A SDL system consists of following components: Structure- system, block, process, and procedure hierarchy, Communication- signal with optional signal parameters, Behavior- processes, Data- abstract data types (ADT), www.iosrjournals.org
38 | Page
Comparison Of The Formal Specification Languages Based Upon Various Parameters Inheritance- describing relations and specialization. The above mentioned components are described briefly below: System- The overall design of the software product is called the system. The universe outside the system is called the environment. Blocks- Blocks are the primary divisions of the system. Dividing the system into blocks thus enables the pictorial representation of all the essential components of the given system. Process- When the system is divided down to the simplest block, the way the block fulfils its functionality is described by processes. Basically a process is the code that will be executed. The complete syntax in process symbol is: <Process name> [(<number of instances at startup>, <maximum number of instances>)] Communication- SDL has two basic communication mechanisms: asynchronous signal and synchronous remote procedure calls. Inheritance- Since SDL is an object-oriented, which provides the user the powerful tool for structuring and reuse.
Larch is an ongoing project at MIT‘s laboratory for Computer Science and DEC‘s system Research Centre. Basically it support a two tired specification, each of which has two component written in two language named as LIL( Larch Interface Language) and the other one is LSL ( Larch Shared Language ). LIL [7, 8] is designed for a specific programming language. It is used to describe the observable behavior of the component and is language dependent.
Here we are trying to describe the differences in specification languages by the means of the following parameters: Process-oriented – These are designed to describe concurrent networks of communicating component‘s behaviors, and since most of the language describe system in term of process, so it is called as process-oriented. Sequential-oriented – It provide the appropriate way to describe the input-output behavior of sequential system. Model-oriented – The language which fall in this category provide an abstract model of system and the operation are specified by either state change or by event affect the model. Property-oriented – These focus on the property desired by the system being specified and on data type instead of services/ functions that the system provides. Mathematics used—Algebra, logic, set theory. All the specification languages discussed here differ in the following: Z–sequential-oriented, property-oriented, uses set theory and logic. VDM–process-oriented, model-oriented, uses the set theory and logics. Larch – sequential-oriented, property-oriented, and uses algebra and logics SDL-process-oriented, property-oriented OCL—model-oriented, sequential-oriented, and uses set theory and logic.
The use of Formal specification language in software development process do not force you to invest a significant cost or time overhead across the entire development, rather it is helpful for understanding the system being developed and preventing error from being propagated through the early stage of lifecycle to the later one.

text: The medical outcomes of women infected with HIV are typically worse than those of HIV-positive men. HIV-positive women report high rates of intimate partner violence, and there is evidence that traumatic events have a negative impact on health status. In addition, African American women make up 1 of the fastest growing groups of HIV-positive individuals. A study recently published in Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy examined the impact of intimate partner violence on HIV medication adherence, HIV-related physical health outcomes, and health-related quality of life in 40 HIV-positive African American women. The results were that women who had experienced intimate partner violence had worse HIV-related health as indicated by reduced CD4 counts and increased HIV viral load. In addition, posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms were related to both intimate partner violence and health-related quality of life. Lastly, HIV medication adherence mediated the relationships between intimate partner violence and the HIV-related health outcomes. Implications for further work and clinical interventions to address intimate partner violence, medication adherence, and health-related quality of life in this population are discussed by the authors.
