Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open wheeled auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motor sport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name is a set of rules which all participants and cars must meet. The F1 world championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual World Championships, one for drivers and one for constructors.
Over the history of Formula One the race cars have evolved a great deal. Modern Formula One cars are single seaters with an open cockpit, they are mid-engined and open wheeled. Made largely out of carbon fibre composites, the chassis is extremely stiff and strong but very light. Formula One cars including driver and fluids weighs only 605kg, this is the minimum weight set by the regulations. The cars are often so light that they need to ballaster up to meet this minimum requirement, taking advantage of this the teams place most of this extra weight at the bottom of the chassis to make the centre of gravity as low as possible. Racing at speeds of up to 200mph and cornering up to 5Gs, the cars' performance depends greatly on the aerodynamics, electronics, suspension and tires.
Formula One's traditional centre is Europe which is where around half of the races take place, and which is also where all the teams are based. In recent years Formula One has expanded significantly with Grand Prix now held all over the world. This has resulted in a drop of events for Europe and Americas in favour of Bahrain, China, Malaysia, India and Singapore.
Formula One circuits usually feature a stretch of straight road on which the starting grid is located. The pit lane is normally situated next to the starting grid, and is where the cars refuel and change tires during the race. The rest of the circuit layout widely varies, but in most cases the circuit direction will run clockwise. Of the current circuits, most are constructed for competition use, but some of the circuits can be completely or partially laid out on public roads.
Some of the circuits used in Formula One include Silverstone which currently holds the British Grands Prix, one of the oldest continuously staged Formula One world championship Grands Prix. Other circuits are the Autodromo Nazionale Monza in Italy, Circuit de Monaco, Hungaroring in Hungary and Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Canada.
In the early 2000s Formula One went through a difficult period with viewing figures dropping and loss of interest due to the dominance of Ferrari and Michael Schumacher. In 2005 after Michael Schumacher retired and Ferrari lost dominance, viewing figures started to see sign of improvement.

Beauty & personal care continue to drive India's ecommerce growth: report
The beauty and personal care category was followed by footwear, eyewear, fashion and accessories as people started stepping out more often, said the report.
"Many digital-first brands have emerged over the last two years in the beauty and personal care segment, which provides tough competition to traditional players," the report said. “Interest from investors and the rising number of ‘House of Brands’ further support growth in the segment."
Meanwhile, gross merchandise value (GMV) grew by 73.6%, outpacing order volume growth. This showed that consumers were more confident of spending on discretionary items in FY22 than in FY21, when the GMV growth was just 37.2% and volume growth was 44%.
The faster GMV growth has resulted in a 2.5% increase in average order value, the report said.
The beauty and personal care category was followed by footwear, eyewear, fashion and accessories as people started stepping out more often, it said. Footwear, fashion and accessories have traditionally been the biggest contributor to overall ecommerce order volumes over the years.
Other segments that were non-existent prior to the pandemic but have grown significantly in the last two years are FMCG & agriculture, and health & pharmaceuticals, the report said. The FMCG & agriculture segment reported 61.7% order volume growth, while order volumes for health & pharmaceuticals grew by 62.4%.
The pandemic accelerated the shift online and many traditional brands have built ecommerce capabilities, the report added.
“The FMCG industry is a great example of traditional focused brands moving online," it said. "Leading brands such as HUL, Emami, ITC, and Marico built extensive digital presences to capture newer opportunities. The online sales channels of these industry leaders cater successfully to the needs of new-age online shoppers."
Despite clocking strong year-to-year growth in FY22, ecommerce is seeing consumption growth moderating across categories thanks to rising inflation, especially in segments considered to be discretionary, ET reported on July 25.
D2C vs marketplaces
Brands across segments are building a strong online presence and focussing on selling directly to consumers. Sales on brands' websites grew by 80% in FY22 compared to 59% growth on marketplaces like Amazon and Flipkart.
“Companies have realised that it’s important to invest in strong brand website operations to develop a connection with consumers,” the report said. “Brands focus on delivery of an elevated shopping experience for consumers using the brand website. Shoppers are now aware of the potential deals on various channels and prefer to shop accordingly.”
The report said a key reason behind the rise of direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands is the rising acceptance of supply chain and logistics platforms, which ensure a seamless post-purchase experience.
“Brand websites ensure strong growth for the health & pharmaceuticals segment (84.8%) as well as fashion (89.5%),” it said. “Consumers prefer marketplaces for the footwear segment, as it offers wider shopping options. Having said that, marketplaces are yet to make significant inroads into the eyewear space, which explains the significant growth rate.”
In India, SoftBank-backed Lenskart continues to dominate the eyewear segment online. It was recently valued at $4.5 billion after raising $200 million in a funding round led by Alpha Wave Global.

The eight ethical principles outlined in the draft consultation guide the development of professional and practice standards regarding the research and deployment of machine learning (ML) systems and artificial intelligence (AI) tools in medicine, specifically with regards to clinical radiology and radiation oncology. These tools should at all times reflect the needs of patients, their care and their safety, and they should respect the clinical teams that care for them. These principles are intended to complement existing medical ethical frameworks (see appendices), which are insufficient for the emerging use of machine learning and artificial intelligence in medicine.
In order to bridge this gap, the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) has developed an additional eight ethical principles to guide the following:
- development of standards of practice for research in AI tools.
- development of standards of practice for deployment of AI tools in medicine.
- upskilling of radiologists and radiation oncologists in ML and AI.
- ethical use of ML and AI in medicine.

Yes, I know that in most snooty, fashionable minds, animal print is SO OUT. Like remember those awful giraffe print purses with the red faux leather straps that were so popular in 2010? Kinda makes me gag a little.
Contrary to popular belief, leopard print can be done tastefully and can even be pretty classy. You’re not gonna take my word for it? Okay, challenge accepted. Here are the top 5 ways this print is killing it.
1. The heel
2. The jeans
3. The sweater
4. The clutch
5. The chair
So, here’s the moral of the story. If you’re a bold person – you probably already like leopard print anyway. You just keep doing what you do. If you’re not so bold, there are subtle ways to incorporate this trendy print into your wardrobe and home.
A few tips:
Keep the shapes of the item classic and simple, so that the leopard print won’t overwhelm.
Use the print in easily removable places, like a clutch or shoe. Not that there’s anything wrong with leopard carpet.
Don’t be afraid to experiment – just don’t use a bunch of different leopard prints in the same outfit.
Of course, the best advice I’ve ever received about style and decorating was to ignore all the rules and just go for what you love!
And it’s also ironic that I’m being Miss Fashion Advice Expert – yet I’m currently wearing a sweatshirt and jeans 2 sizes too big. Not a leopard spot in sight.

Arterial stiffness, hypertension, and rational use of nebivolol
Enrico Agabiti-Rosei, Enzo Porteri, Damiano Rizzoni
Clinica Medica, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Brescia, Italy
Abstract: Arterial stiffness plays a key role in the pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system. Some indices of arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, characteristics of central blood pressure waveform) may be presently calculated and evaluated in the clinical setting. Age and blood pressure are the two major clinical determinants of increased arterial stiffness, while molecular determinants of arterial stiffness are related to fibrotic components of the extracellular matrix, mainly elastin, collagen and fibronectin. Increased arterial stiffness has been consistently observed in conditions such as hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes. Arterial stiffness evaluated by means of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity yielded prognostic significance beyond and above traditional risk factors. A more favorable effect of calcium channel blockers, diuretics and ACE inhibitors compared with β-blockers on indices of arterial stiffness was observed in several studies. It is conceivable that newer β-blockers with additional vasodilating properties, such as nebivolol, which has favorable effects on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, as well as on endothelial function and on oxidative stress, may have favorable effects on arterial stiffness, compared with atenolol. In fact, in recent studies, nebivolol was demonstrated to improve artery stiffness to a greater extent than older β-blockers. Because endothelial dysfunction and increased arterial stiffness play an important role in the early atherosclerotic processes and are associated with poor outcomes and increased mortality, independently of blood pressure, the ability of nebivolol to enhance release of endothelium-derived nitric oxide, and consequently improve endothelial function and arterial stiffness, may have significant clinical implications for the use of this agent in the treatment of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.
Keywords: arterial stiffness, hypertension, nebivolol

Four students sat down with the College Tribune to talk about their experience with sexting,nudes, and revenge porn. Humans have always found ways to communicate. Be it through saucy letters or lewd paintings, we have always had a way to express our lust and desires for someone. In fact Irish teenagers are some of the most prolific sexters in Europe with 1 in 4 claiming to have sent some kind of sext. The growth in the popularity of sexting can be partly attributed to the boom of new social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Messenger, Tinder and Snapchat. Photo-sharing has never been easier and quicker in our day to day lives, so naturally it will feed into the world of the sexual.
But, I am finding that many districts have not yet detailed in their discipline codes exactly what it is, how it will be investigated, who will be involved, and what bidding happen to those who participate. This is unfortunate because experience shows us that when formal policies and procedures have not kept pace with the rapid changes of technology and their use by kids and teens, discipline administrators struggle when attempting to acceptable wrongful behavior. We have to accomplish sure that clear guidance and administration is available when a sexting argument comes to the attention of discipline administrators. Moreover, in order to certify compliance with response protocols and en route for avoid legal pitfalls, administrators have en route for be proactive. They must specifically analysis and improve current policies and procedures before a situation arises, develop additional policies in concert with technology specialists and law enforcement agencies, and be in contact such policies to educators, staff, after that students at their school. It should highlight that such images and videos often constitute child pornography, and so as to creating them, possessing them, or transmitting them is a felony offense area of interest to criminal prosecution. That is, students who send a naked or semi-naked picture of themselves to others are subject to punishment. In addition, students who disseminate naked or semi-naked images of other students are also area of interest to punishment. Finally, students who accept a naked or semi-naked image of another student needs to report the incident to a counselor or basic immediately.
But your child has sent a bare, what steps should you take after that what support can you expect as of local agencies? Our experts provide close on this and more about the law, sexting and tips to administer the situation. Most schools will accomplish a judgement on whether to absorb outside agencies such as the constabulary but it is important that parents are involved in the discussions after that whether support, further education or castigation is most appropriate. Each sexting clash is different and it is central that schools deal with them aptly on a case by case base. This is down to a whether the school chooses to involve the police and b whether the constabulary decide it is in the broadcast interest to record the incident at the same time as a crime or, in serious cases, move to prosecute.

Sound — 10
I play rock and blues. I have a champ 15, serial number 0000052. This amp rocks. I have no problems with the noise. Also, the five way works great, as well as the tones and volume. As most of people frown on this guitar, I must of lucked-out, as this guitar has a healthy SNARL. I don't plan to change anything on this axe. I did put a set of strap locks.
Overall Impression — 10
I'm very lucky in buying this particular guitar. I'm an experienced player, with no back up at the present time. I play the Clapton blues, and the Pink Floyd rock. This guitar is just awesome. If someone stole this guitar, I'd find the thief, and get it back. Also, I'd leave a lasting IMPRESSION for the thief. One more thing, to you folks who guzzy-up your Squiers with Fender stamped necks, and new three ply pick guards, I have no problem with owning this guitar, and I'll never take the Squier name off it. This guitar has much better sound than most MIM STRATS.
Reliability & Durability — 10
I no longer play in a band however, I'd have NO PROBLEM playing a live gig with this guitar, with NO BACK-UP. The baltic blue finish pops on this guitar. I'm not a fan of the worn down look, I polish this with the polish trick. Gives a healthy shine. I've put a set of strap locks on her, aside from strings, I can't see replacing anything else.
Action, Fit & Finish — 10
Again, being this guitar was owned by a gal who NEVER played it.there are about three scratches on the pick-guard. I cannot find anything wrong with this axe. I have put new Martin strings on it. The three single coil pick-ups are righteous. I've played my Squier jamming with others, and she keeps up with my buddies MIA. I've had a couple guys play this guitar, and they're blown away.
Features — 10
I have a 1999 Squire Strat, hand crafted in Indonesia. It has twenty-one frets, and three single coil pick-ups. The body is alder, BTW, the classic fenders are also made of alder. This is a string thru body, the color is a deep rich baltic blue. I bought an old school Fender tweed hard case.

Serious head trauma, what a barrel of laughs, eh? In this somewhat tasteless rip-off of Groundhog Day, the rom works, but the com doesn't. As a result, the first half is exactly like every other crass Adam Sandler vehicle (ie irritating and unfunny). Only when the romance blossoms with the endearingly sweet Drew Barrymore does it engage at all. But not once did it make me laugh.

50 First Dates" is about a guy named Henry Roth (played by Adam Sandler) who’s got it all, a good job, great friends and the skills to winning any girl he wants. Problem is; he's afraid of commitment. He meets a girl, scores and then makes an excuse to break up with them. Then, one day, he meets Lucy and they hit it off. Henry believes he has found the girl he can finally settle down with. The problem is she's got short-term memory loss that lasts about 24 hours and everyday she forgets she ever met Henry.
So now Henry must devise a way to make Lucy remember him and win her over every single day which he does by initiating a series of wild and imaginative stunts. The premise is unrealistic, obviously, but the characters are so colorful and likable that you are willing to suspend …

"Henry Roth" (Adam Sandler) meets the girl of his dreams (Drew Barrymore), but she doesn't remember meeting him over-and-over due to a head injury that has destroyed her short-term memory. He falls madly in love with her and gets her family and friends to realize how wrong they are in keeping her reliving the last day she remembers over and over again.
This movie is a unbelievable love story with a few laughs. To the best of my knowledge, there is no documented cases of people who lose their memory when they go to bed every night.
The only ones who have any character development are Sandler's and Barrymore's. All the others are just there for the most part to advance the amnesia plot. You would think that they would have tried to help her regain her memory instead of a stranger …

The acting administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) was put through the wringer by lawmakers on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, pressed repeatedly to answer questions about the federal agency’s outdated marijuana policy.
Here’s a roundup of exchanges between DEA Acting Administrator Robert Patterson and members of the House Judiciary Committee during a hearing on the opioid epidemic.
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN)
“The DEA has always been in a position of great importance—and it’s important that the DEA administrator stay current with what the people have shown by their actions and their statements what they believe is the right priorities for the DEA,” Cohen started.
In short, the people don’t think marijuana should be a federal law enforcement priority, he said. He then asked Patterson why marijuana is classified in the same drug scheduling category as more harmful drugs such as heroin.
“The reason why it remains in Schedule I is the science,” Patterson said.
“The science?” Cohen responded. He later added, “I’m happy to hear that you believe in science, that’s refreshing.” But Cohen wanted to know what the DEA official’s personal views on marijuana scheduling were, and Patterson delivered: He said that he was worried the country was “going down a bad path with marijuana” and that all of the national conversations around reform mainly had to do with revenue.
Cohen pushed back, arguing that adults also care about racially disproportionate arrests for non-violent marijuana offenses, for instance. Patterson said he didn’t see a link between prohibitionist marijuana policies and mass incarceration, then went into a rant that concluded:
“At what point did we determine that revenue was more important than our kids?”
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA)
Johnson began his questioning by asking Patterson how many Americans died from opioid-related overdoses among the 64,000 drug overdose deaths recorded in 2016.
Patterson knew that figure, responding that about 44,000 deaths were the result of opioid-related overdoses. But when asked a follow-up question about marijuana-related overdose deaths, the DEA official said that he didn’t believe there were any officially recorded in 2016, but that he was “aware of a few deaths from marijuana.”
(The DEA itself said there were no known deaths attributed to a marijuana overdose in a 2017 report on drug abuse.)
“You are aware of a few deaths from marijuana?” Johnson asked. At that point, Patterson said that he didn’t have materials in front of him to reference, but that he believed these deaths were caused by “adulterated” cannabis and said he ultimately understood the congressman’s point: that in terms of risk of overdose, marijuana and opioids are “not comparable.”
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA)
Swalwell used his time at the hearing to talk about the struggles of families he’s met whose children have either fatally overdosed on opioids or suffered from addiction. He asked Patterson what can be done to prevent and address youth substance abuse.
The DEA official discussed the importance of early education drug prevention programs—and then pivoted to marijuana.
“I hate to do this, but I’m going to do it to you—and this is what concerns me about marijuana because those same stories I hear all the time, I generally hear marijuana introduced,” Patterson said. But he then made a surprising admission, telling Swalwell that he’s “not going to compare” drugs like marijuana and opioids, and also that he wouldn’t “say [marijuana is] a gateway [drug].”
That caveat was significant, Don Murphy, director of conservative outreach at the Marijuana Policy Project, said in a statement to Marijuana Moment. “When the head of the DEA rejects the gateway theory, he’s a witness for an end to prohibition,” Murphy said.
Patterson did go on to say that “the problem is that these things all seem to dovetail together, and my concern is—and again, I’ll take my DEA hat off for a second is as a person in the United States—what message we send as we try to navigate this space in terms of that, and I think that’s problematic.”
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL)
Gaetz wanted to know whether it is “the position of the DEA that democratizing access to medical marijuana will add to the substance abuse problem in this country.” Patterson said he feels “it’s a conversation that we have to have.”
But that question appeared to set Gaetz up for an extensive back-and-forth during which the DEA head demonstrated a stunning lack of knowledge about the existing scientific literature concerning marijuana’s health benefits and its potential use as a substitute for dangerous pharmaceuticals, including opioid painkillers.
Was Patterson familiar with a 2017 report from the National Academies of Science that found “conclusive or substantial evidence” that cannabis and cannabinoids effectively treats chronic pain—a condition that is traditionally treated with opioid painkillers? No.
Was he familiar any of the numerous patient surveys from states where marijuana has been legalized, showing significant reductions in pharmaceutical use correlated with cannabis reform? No.
OK, was he aware of any studies that showed the opposite? That marijuana use was associated with increased use of dangerous illicit drugs? Again, no.
So then, going back to his first question, why is it that the DEA cannot speak to its official position as to whether marijuana legalization would add to the country’s substance abuse problem if its acting administrator can’t defend that argument based on any “evidentiary standpoint,” Gaetz asked. A flustered Patterson reaffirmed the agency’s support for research into medical marijuana and also pinned blame on the lack of DEA-approved research grants for medical marijuana research on international treaties that he claimed were being deliberated by the Justice Department.
Gaetz said he appreciated the agency’s support for research and asked whether the DEA would commit to partnering with lawmakers in their efforts to expand federal marijuana research.
“We’ve been consistent in that message,” Patterson said.

Some personality traits, especially neuroticism, has been found to be associated with suicide attempt (SA) in mood disorder patients. The present study explored the association between personality traits and SA using polygenic risk scores (PRS) for personality among patients with mood disorders. We also investigated the effects of a variety of psychosocial variables on SA. Patients with bipolar disorder (BPD, N = 841) and major depressive disorder (MDD, N = 710) were recruited from hospitals in Taiwan. Lifetime SA and information on psychosocial factors was collected. We calculated the PRS of neuroticism and extraversion. A trend test for SA was performed across quartiles of the PRS for neuroticism and extraversion, and logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the associations between psychosocial factors and SA, accounting for the PRS of personality traits. The prevalence of SA was higher in MDD than in BPD patients. The risk of SA was elevated in MDD patients with a higher quintile of PRS in neuroticism and a lower quintile of PRS in extraversion. The multiple regression analysis results demonstrated that later age of onset, higher family support and resilience, and lower overall social support were protective factors against SA. From the perspective of suicide prevention efforts, strengthening family support and conducting resilience training for patients with mood disorders may be beneficial interventions in clinical settings.

‘From Granada to Berlin: The Alhambra Cupola’ by Anna McSweeney
This new book by Dr Anna McSweeney – From Granada to Berlin: the Alhambra Cupola (Verlag Kettler, 2020) – tells the long history of the Alhambra palace through the prism of one of its most extraordinary survivors: the Alhambra cupola, a carved and painted Islamic ceiling from the palace which is now in the Museum of Islamic Art in Berlin.
Through a close examination of the cupola, it traces the long history of the palace from its Islamic origins, to today. The loss of the cupola from Granada, its move to Berlin and the complex reasons behind this loss are central to the biography. Through a focused study with extensive new research on this unique object and the societies through which it moved, this book cuts across academic and geographic boundaries to reveal a new perspective on the legacy of Islamic art in Europe and its continuing relevance today.
From Granada to Berlin: the Alhambra Cupola is a Connecting Art Histories in the Museum publication by the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz, and the Max-Planck-Institut.
Dr Anna McSweeney is lecturer in medieval and Islamic art history in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.

Cytotoxicity studies of lasalocid and silibinin in rat hepatoma cell culture
The cvtoprotective effect of silibinin in course of cytotoxicity induced by lasalocid had been measured in rat hepatoma FaO cell line. In the course of the study, MTT test (cellular metabolism), coomassie brillant blue binding test - CBB (total cellular proteins), and LDH release test (membrane integrity) were applied. In addition, changes in the cell morphology after 24 h treatment were observed by light microscopy. The effective concentrations, EC₅₀ were quantified for each compound alone, whereas the nature of their co-action was assessed by isobologram plotting. Lasalocid EC₅₀ ranged from 4 to 10 µM and microphotographs showed significant morphological changes of the cells after 24 h exposure. Silibinin EC₅₀ ranged from 40 to 42 µM for MTT and CBB assays, and 63 µM for LDH assay, and no significant morphological changes occurred. When lasalocid EC₅₀ was used in combination with silibinin in 1-250 µM concentrations, the EC₅₀ values were plotted at 36 µM and 72 µM in MTT and LDH assays, respectively. Thus co-actions of the two drugs led to significant diminishing of lasalocid cytotoxicity in respect to cellular metabolism and membrane integrity. The isobolograms showed remarkable antagonistic effect of silibinin in the course of lasalocid cytotoxic action. Although a considerable interaction was concisely relevant to hepatoma cell line FaO, the promising results incline to extend the study on other in vitro models (primary hepatocytes), as well as to investigate in vivo the cytoprotective effect of silibinin against lasalocid in target animals.

(C2-1) Religious Politics in Ancient Persia: Cultural-Comparative and Legal-Historical Investigations of the Situation of the Jews in the Multi-Religious Society of the Achaemenid Period
In the first instance, the project aims at sifting through the research results of the past decades regarding the religious politics of the Achaemenides in Mesopotamia (particularly in Babylon), Asia Minor (Halikarnassos), Egypt (Elephantine) and Palestine (Samaria, Jerusalem). In doing so, evidence of both the interests of the Persian Empire and the respective local interests in self-assertion and in upholding their identity on the religious field are to be elaborated and, as the case may be, historical developments shown. In the second phase of the period investigated, the characteristics of the Judaean situation and of the Second Temple will be analysed anew based on the results of the overall picture gained. Particular attention will have to be paid to the legal history and to early forms of agreement under international law as well as to the cultural markers of identity and distinction in the areas of dietetics and of ideas of purity.

Limit on the Electric Charge of Antihydrogen
The ALPHA collaboration has successfully demonstrated the production and the confinement of cold antihydrogen, H̅. An analysis of trapping data allowed a stringent limit to be placed on the electric charge of the simplest antiatom. Charge neutrality of matter is known to a very high precision, hence a neutrality limit of H̅ provides a test of CPT invariance. The experimental technique is based on the measurement of the deflection of putatively charged H̅ in an electric field. The tendency for trapped H̅ atoms to be displaced by electrostatic fields is measured and compared to the results of a detailed simulation of H̅ dynamics in the trap. An extensive survey of the systematic errors was performed, and this work focuses on those due to the silicon vertex detector, which is the device used to determine the H̅ annihilation position. The limit obtained on the charge of the H̅ atom is Q = (−1.3 ± 1.8 ± 0.4) × 10−8, representing the first precision measurement with H̅ .

|Illustration of a child with gastroschisis|
|Classification and external resources|
Gastroschisis represents a congenital defect characterised by a defect in the anterior abdominal wall through which the abdominal contents freely protrude. There is no overlying sac or peritoneum, and the size of the defect is usually less than 4 centimetres (1.6 in). The abdominal wall defect is located at the junction of the umbilicus and normal skin, and is almost always to the right of the umbilicus. The defect occurs 5–8 weeks after conception, most likely due to a disruption of the blood supply to the developing abdominal wall.
Widespread use of antenatal ultrasound examination and maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (MSAFP) screening has made the detection of gastroschisis possible in the second trimester of pregnancy.
Omphalocele is another congenital birth defect, but it involves the umbilical cord itself, and the organs remain enclosed in visceral peritoneum. With omphalocele the defect is usually much larger than in gastroschisis.
Gastroschisis is believed to be caused by a disruption of the blood supply to the developing abdominal wall from the omphalomesenteric duct artery by the eighth week of gestation. It is not exactly known what causes this blood supply disruption, but various factors have been shown to increase this risk. Incidence of gastroschisis appears to be higher in areas where surface water atrazine levels are elevated especially when conception occurs in the spring, the time when atrazine, the commonly used herbicide, is commonly applied.. Numerous clinical studies have linked aspirin, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pregnancy category D drug, as an increased risk factor, and according to large scale study by the California Department of Public Health aspirin quadruples the risk of gastroschisis.
A change in paternity (childbearing with different fathers) has been implicated as a risk factor in a recent study, suggesting that the immune system of the mother may play a role in the development of gastroschisis. It is most commonly seen in young mothers. Newborns are often smaller for gestational age due to their abdomen not expanding because the bowels (and sometimes other organs) are outside of the body. Whether the intrauterine growth retardation can facilitate the apparition of gastroschisis or the abdominal wall defect impairs fetal growth is not clear yet.
Gastroschisis as a stand-alone congenital defect, like many birth defects when isolated, exhibits multifactorial determination with a 2-3% recurrence risk for subsequent pregnancies. Rarely, gastroschisis has clustered in families and exhibits autosomal recessive or dominant inheritance.
Genetic counseling and further genetic testing, such as amniocentesis, may be offered during the pregnancy, as this and other abdominal wall defects are associated with genetic disorders. If there are no additional genetic problems or birth defects, surgery soon after birth can often repair the opening.
At least six hypotheses have been proposed:
- Failure of mesoderm to form in the body wall
- Rupture of the amnion around the umbilical ring with subsequent herniation of bowel
- Abnormal involution of the right umbilical vein leading to weakening of the body wall and gut herniation
- Disruption of the right vitelline (yolk sac) artery with subsequent body wall damage and gut herniation
- Abnormal folding of the body wall results in a ventral body wall defect through which the gut herniates
- Failure to incorporate the yolk sac and related vitelline structures into the yolk sac
The first hypothesis does not explain why the mesoderm defect would occur in such a specific small area. The second hypothesis does not explain the low percentage of associated abnormality compared with omphalocele. The third hypothesis was criticized due to no vascular supplement of anterior abdominal wall by umbilical vein. The fourth hypothesis was commonly accepted, but it was later shown that the right vitelline artery (right omphalomesenteric artery) did not supply the anterior abdominal wall in this area. More evidence is needed to support the fifth hypothesis.
During the fourth week of development, the lateral body folds move ventrally and fuse in the midline to form the anterior body wall. Incomplete fusion results in a defect that allows abdominal viscera to protrude through the abdominal wall. The bowel typically herniates through the rectus muscle, lying to the right of the umbilicus.
The general procedure for gastroschisis is to simply tuck the protruding organs back into the opening and apply a belly band pressure until the wound heals itself. New advances have been pioneered in repairing the protruding bowel by placing a protective "silo" around the intestine outside the abdomen, then slowly pressuring the herniated intestine into the abdominal cavity. This new procedure allows for the bowel to return to its intended shape and location without further traumatizing the infant's viscera with undue internal pressure. The main cause for lengthy recovery periods in patients is the time taken for the infants' bowel function to return to normal.
Current advances in surgical techniques and intensive care management for neonates have increased the survival rate to 90%, in adequate settings. The possibility of prenatal diagnosis either through echosonogram or any other method available allows the mother to be referred to an adequate center where a caesarean section or induced natural birth can be performed before term (as natural birth is recommended and just as safe as with a normal baby), preferably within 2 weeks of term, and allow the immediate surgery to be performed on the newborn.
The morbidity is closely related to the presence of other malformations and complications of the wound or the intestine.
The malformation is slightly more frequent in males than females. The frequency of gastroschisis is associated with young maternal age, low number of gestations, alcohol, tobacco and NSAID use, and infections. This abnormality was historically reported as having a ratio of 1:10,000 and is usually detected before birth. It has been reported that the incidence of gastroschisis has increased in recent years. The CDC currently estimates that about 1,871 babies are born each year in the United States with gastroschisis.
There is an increased incidence when the mother has a history of cigarette smoking, use of recreational drugs, alcohol consumption, low body mass index, or increased frequency of genitourinary infection.

In March 1815 the fledgling Netherlands state saw its existance threatened by the escape from Elba and return to power in France of the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. Without hesitance a field army was mobilised of ultimately 30,000 men strong to defend the newly acquired southern territories in Belgium.
This history explores in detail the unique perspective from the Netherlands field army for the period of mid-March 1815 up to the outbreak of war on 15th June, when it faced the French Imperial army for the first time at the village of Frasnes close to Quatre Bras. This history offers both the perspective of the highranking Netherlands governmental officials and generals, as well as those of the lower military ranks. The initial ideas and memorandums for a strategy to defend Belgium are presented, which were drafted in 1814 by the Dutch General Staff and conflicted with those of the Duke of Wellington and other British officers sent to inspect Belgium, but would have great relevance to the events in June 1815. Especially the contingency plans drawn up in May 1815 by the command of the Netherlands field army, which had a significant impact on the field operation for 15th and 16th June.
Furthermore in this history the build-up of the field army is explored in its various aspects as it settled in cantonments in Belgium to prepare for the invasion of France, as well as the troubled relationship between King Willem and the Duke of Wellington over the command of the Netherlands troops and the various fortress garrisons. Similar awkward relations are presented between the French royalists in exile in Belgium and the Netherlands government. Finally the operations on 15th June are described in close detail for the field army forming part of the Anglo-Allied 1st Corps, such as the early knowledge in the morning about a French offensive, the rapid concentration of the army corps, the visit of the Prince of Orange at Brussels to alert the Duke of Wellington and of course the fighting in the evening around Frasnes.
This volume draws almost exclusively from archival sources of the Dutch army from 1815 and presents numerous hitherto unpublished or unknown contemporary documents, including private accounts from Netherlands veterans, to recreate the history of the Netherlands field army during the campaign of 1815.
This volume presents a number of portraits and other paintings from the Dutch-Belgian perspective previously unknown to the iconography of the Waterloo campaign. The maps in this volume are hand drawn.

Now the music video has finally dropped.
Have a look at this weird music video.
Love the song but the video just abit bizarre.
Maybe that is why I prefer Oblivion since it had that Montreal feel and before she exploded.
The big news coming out this week was Motnreal’s Grimes being signed to 4AD.
This is a big surprise for fans of her music.
I would say 2012 will be a big year for Grimes.
Genesis is the second single taken from the upcoming Visions.
Visions drops on February 21st (The day after my birthday) in the USA through 4AD and Canada on Arbutus Records.
I remember hearing Genesis live at Mission Santa Cruz during Pop Montreal 2011.
It was part of the Arbutus Records showcase.
When she played Genesis live, I couldn’t stop dancing to its dreamy dance-pop beats.
Have a listen to Genesis.
I can’t stop listening to this song!

Controversies in a F1 season are normal. Despite the 2019 season ending and teams are moving forward for their 2020 plans, let’s take a look back at the biggest controversies of the 2019 F1 season.
Renault had a decent haul of 9 points at the Japanese Grand Prix, with Daniel Ricciardo finishing 6th and Nico Hulkenberg finishing 10th. Drama continued after the race. Post race, Racing Point lodged a protest, claiming that Renault utilized a pre-set automated brake bias system. Renault protested the decision.
The investigation of the FIA led to a disqualification of the Renault’s results of the Japanese Grand Prix. It cost them 9 points. It also let Racing Point’s drivers move up the ranking and score 6 points that race.
Speaking after the race, Renault F1 released a statement:
“Considering the subjectivity of the qualification of a system as a driver aid and the variability of the associated penalties in recent cases, Renault F1 Team will consider its next course of action within the timeframe laid out by the FIA.”
Highlighting the big financial constraints plaguing them, Williams made a highly controversial decision. With resources more than likely being dedicated to 2020, the team retired Robert Kubica’s car to conserve parts for the remainder of the season. This came a lap after George Russell crashed to a brake failure.
Dave Robson, Senior Race Engineer commented
“We opted to retire Robert soon afterwards in order to conserve parts ahead of the intense flyaway races which end the season. It’s a very disappointing way to end two weeks on the road.
Qualifying first at Sochi, is not the best position. The long run to turn 2 benefited Sebastian Vettel who started 3rd. Taking the slipstream of his team mate, Sebastian Vettel roared into the lead at Sochi.
It seems that there was an agreement that Ferrari would swap the cars later on in the race. Much to Charles’s surprise and frustration Sebastian replied: “Well, tell him to close up.” Under stably Charles was irate “You put me behind, I respected everything… We’ll speak later, but now it’s difficult to close the gap, obviously.”
In fairness, at the time Sebastian was the faster car at the time. However, Charles got the undercut and came out ahead of Sebastian Vettel after the German made his pitstop. There was no further battle, as Sebastian suffered a MGU-K failure.
All the German could say: “Are you serious? Bring back those f**king V12s.”
A move that was coming, but still took everyone by surprise given previous comments. Pierre Gasly, promoted to replace Renault bound Daniel Ricciardo, had an underwhelming start to his Red Bull tenure. Consistently off the pace of Max Verstappen, Red Bull were soon no longer fighting Ferrari for 2nd in the Constructors.
Prior to the Belgian Grand Prix, news came in that Alex Albon, a rookie in his debut season with Torro Rosso has been promoted. Gasly was demoted back to Torro Rosso. It’s not the first mid-season change made by the Austrian team.
The biggest slap in the face, was immediately after the German Grand Prix, Marko had said Gasly will see out 2019. His future was to be decided after the season ended. Christian Horner had said that there was no intent to replace Pierre, but he was ‘not in the mix’.
At least, he got a podium with Torro Rosso instead of Red Bull, showing he belongs on the grid.
A company that has a history for being outspoken. A short tempered Team boss. It’s not too surprising that Haas F1 and their title sponsor, Rich Energy came to social media blows this season. The controversy between the two dragged on all season.
Immediately after the British Grand Prix, Rich Energy announced a termination of the deal. Citing Haas F1’s poor performance. Haas F1 was shocked while shareholders of Rich Energy tried to counter the decision they deemed of a ‘rogue individual’.
Finally, after the Italian Grand Prix, the parties announced their separation from their partnership. The insults did not end there, as following the race, Rich Energy ridiculed the final position of Haas F1’s team.
