Hepatectomy for liver metastasis from carcinomas of the distal bile duct (BDC) and of the papilla of Vater (PVC) has not been studied in detail. The purpose of this study is to analyze risk factors of liver metastasis and to evaluate outcome of hepatectomy for liver metastasis.
Risk factors of liver metastasis were analyzed in 122 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for BDC or PVC. In addition, 13 patients who underwent hepatectomy were reviewed.
Liver metastasis after pancreaticoduodenectomy occurred in 33.8% of BDC and 26.3% of PVC patients. Multivariate analyses revealed that microvenous invasion was a significant risk factor common to BDC and PVC (p ≤ 0.05). However, 4 of the 13 resected cases survived more than 5 years (5-year survival rate, 44.9%). All four long-term survivors underwent margin-negative hepatectomy for a solitary metastasis and were given postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Margin-positive hepatectomy in four patients resulted in early re-recurrence of tumor. Limited hepatectomy (three cases) provided margin-positive surgery.
Hepatectomy for a solitary metastasis is the treatment of choice even after pancreaticoduodenectomy, but indication of hepatectomy for multiple metastases is still limited. The combination of surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy should be studied further to improve survival rates.

50-bedded integrated AYUSH Hospital inaugurated in Manipur
Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and CM Biren took part in a presentation on phytopharmaceutical mission to promote the documentation, scientific, validation and evaluation of traditional healthcare practices of NE India at Indian Medical Association (IMA) Hall, Lamphelpat in Imphal.
Updated on 5 Dec 2021, 3:43 pm
Union Minister of Ports, Shipping, Waterways and AYUSH Sarbananda Sonowal and Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Sunday virtually inaugurated a 50-bedded integrated AYUSH Hospital at Moreh, Manipur.
The two leaders took part in a presentation on phytopharmaceutical mission to promote the documentation, scientific, validation and evaluation of traditional healthcare practices of NE India at Indian Medical Association (IMA) Hall, Lamphelpat in Imphal.
Speaking at the occasion, Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal stressed on the need to integrate AYUSH and traditional methods to enhance the healthcare system of the country.
Stating that Manipur has a huge wealth of medicinal plants, the minister observed that there is need to establish scientific validation if the state has to earn dividends from this resource.
The Union minister said that the Northeast region has been able to demonstrate its potential ever since Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister.
"Soon after he assumed charge, PM Modi expressed his strong commitment to develop the Northeast region. Likewise, N Biren Singh had also worked hard to bring Manipur on the path of peace and development," the Union minister said.
Sonowal opined that the finest gift that the N Biren Singh-led Government has presented to the people of Manipur is peace.
"As a peaceful atmosphere is there, work culture among people grows on its own, putting the state on the track of progress," Sonowal observed.
Appreciating N Biren Singh for introducing Chief Minister-gi Hakshel-gi Tengbang (CMHT) for the needy people, Sonowal said that it is the right example of service to humanity by the state government under N Biren Singh’s leadership. He also congratulated the state government for successful implementation of CM’s Health for All scheme.
Sonowal also assured to extend full support to the state government in the AYUSH sector.
Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister N Biren Singh also stressed the need for formulating a scientific plan to systematically grow indigenous medical plants for large scale production. The chief minister mentioned the need to explore the skills and knowledge of traditional healers like Maibas and Maibis in a more scientific manner.
"A joint deliberation of the scientists and officials of Institute of Bio-resources and Sustainable Development (IBSD), Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and Directorate of AYUSH will be convened soon," CM Biren said.
The chief minister also appreciated the staff of the Directorate of AYUSH for their contribution in combating COVID-19 pandemic. He observed that the virus is now almost overcomed in the state with the joint efforts from different sections. However, he also cautioned the public to be careful as the Omicron variant has started spreading in different countries, and some cases have been detected in India as well.
Screening of passengers had already begun at Bir Tikendrajit International Airport in this regard, CM Biren said while adding that Jiribam would be rewarded for becoming the district of the state to achieve 100 per first dose cent vaccination.
Union Minister of State for Education and External Affairs RK Ranjan Singh, Advisor to Chief Minister (Health) S Ranjan Singh and Additional Chief Secretary (Health and Family Welfare) V Vumlunmang also attended the function as dignitaries.

What comes to mind when you think of music from Greece? The Sirtaki dance, maybe Greek folk music, and Mikis Theodorakis as a composer. Then that’s usually the end of it. But wind band music in Greece? Most of you will say: never heard of it. It’s hard to believe, but brass music has a long tradition in Greece!
During the Greek Revolution 200 years ago, wind ensembles from abroad were introduced into Greek musical life for the first time, and they were gradually incorporated into Greek culture. Although in some regions of Greece the spread of wind music began much earlier (Ionian Islands), the activities of the foreign wind ensembles strongly influenced the music and musical life of Greece.
In Thessaloniki, Nikos Astrinidis was born in 1921, who later became an internationally celebrated composer, pianist and conductor. It was also he who for many years led one of the most famous orchestras in Greece, the Thessaloniki City Wind Orchestra. His artistic greatness influenced not only the development of the orchestra itself, but also the music for wind ensembles in the city and in Greece more broadly. Nikis Astrinidis died in 2010.
So, on these occasions, 200 years of the Greek Revolution and 100 years of Nikos Astrinidis, the “Wind Ensemble Laboratory” (PN.O.E.S.) of the Faculty of Musicology and Arts of the University of Macedonia, in collaboration with the “Hellenic Philharmonic Society” and the “Friends of Nikos Astrinidis Association”, is organising the 6th International Conference of Greek Symphonic Orchestras entitled “Wind Ensembles: Historical Review, Journey and Transition in Times of Pandemic”. International Conference of Greek Symphony Orchestras entitled “Wind ensembles: historical review, journey and transition in times of pandemic” in the city of Thessaloniki, between 25 and 27 June 2021.
Due to the pandemic, this conference will be held online and there will be virtual presentations for participants, as well as some live concerts on site that will be streamed. More information is available at this link.

The second, and perhaps most anticipated, character in the newest Fire Emblem Warriors DLC is the Dark Mage Tharja.
Before the introduction of Camilla in Fire Emblem Fates, Tharja stood uncontested as the most unexpected Fire Emblem design choice. This is Nintendo after all…
In an ironic twist of Fate, Tharja plays much like her beloved Robin. The main differences would be her specials, her skills, and the way she holds a book.
The Awakening Pack is included with the Fire Emblem Warriors Season Pass ($19.99) or can be purchased as separate DLC ($8.99). Fire Emblem Warriors is available for Nintendo Switch and New 3DS.

Spotify intends to raise subscription prices in France due to a proposed levy targeting music-streaming services in the nation.
Three months after promising to start divesting in France, the corporation has taken action by withdrawing backing from two events, hinting at more to come.
Implemented on January 1, a tax of 1.2% will be applied to Spotify and competing services like Deezer, Apple Music, and Google’s YouTube Music. The funds collected will be sent to the Centre National de la Musique (CNM), which was created four years ago to assist the French music industry. Spotify has been the most vocal in criticizing the new regulation since it is the largest company in the nation.
Spotify has not disclosed the exact amount of the price increase. However, it said that from now on, French consumers would have the highest membership costs in the European Union (EU). The company intends to notify subscribers about the upcoming price increase gradually. It appears that part of the strategy is to generate enough consumer concern to influence those in authority. However, with the law already in effect, it is unlikely that there will be any immediate changes.
In a blog post today, the business stated:
“With the creation of this new tax, Spotify would be required to give approximately two-thirds of every euro it generates to music to rights holders and the French government. Of course, this is a massive amount and does not allow for a sustainable business. As we have long said, we simply can’t absorb any additional taxes.”
According to a Spotify official speaking to, the company is informing consumers about an upcoming price increase in an effort to be honest. Despite their efforts to prevent it, the price raise was unavoidable.
The most significant aspect of this whole situation is the crucial role that France plays in Spotify’s commercial success. Its reaction here varies somewhat from its reaction to a similar discussion in Uruguay, which is likewise in the midst of enacting new legislation that guarantees “fair and equitable” compensation for all artists participating in a recording. Spotify initially announced its intention to completely withdraw from Uruguay due to concerns that a new law would require it to pay royalties twice for the same songs. However, after receiving assurances from the Uruguayan government that music-streaming platforms would not incur additional expenses because of the law, Spotify decided to reverse its decision to pull out.
Spotify is expressing significant dissatisfaction with the increased tax in France, similar to its reaction in Uruguay, but has not shown any intention of leaving the nation. Despite claiming to be effectively compensating artists twice, comparable to Uruguay, Spotify prefers to raise its pricing rather than threaten to leave the nation.
Spotify announced in December that it was discontinuing its financial and resource support for the Les Francofolies de la Rochelle and the Printemps de Bourges festivals. Spotify is raising its subscription pricing to cover the expenses of a tax, stating that this price rise would help achieve that goal.

Lapco has recently released a M4 Style Magazine for the Tippmann A-5. The placement of this magazine is set closer to the trigger guard giving it the most authentic M4 Magazine look on the market. This magazine is made of a high grade polymer that will not weight you down yet maintains strength and toughness.
The Lapco A5 air through M4 Mag is newer, so it should be commonly available, both new and used.
car collapsable stock.

Looks like its suposed to be there
Hahaha..... Oh.... you were serious?
As soon as my delivery guy put this beast into my hand I lifted it up in the air (I thought it was going to be heavier). As soon as this thing was put on my gun my jaw dropped. It looked amazing! I hit it, threw it and tried to bend it but this thing held strong Thing is a good product and i will be supporting Lapco in the future. Bravo Lapco.
Yes i would recomend this to a friend, I serious. Buy it....... now

NcSTAR 4 Reticle Red Dot Sight
Liberty Collapsible Stock
Looking to complete my 416 I needed a quality magazine that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg and still look cool. This was really the only magazine that matched what I needed as other magazines sit too far in front of the trigger to look authentic AND they're more expensive.
When I received the package I wasn't too surprised, it was loosely packed in a zip-lock bag with everything you need ('cept for allen keys). The instructions are very simple and practically redundant, though it's a nice touch to complete the package anyways.
Just as I said above, installation is very simple. The magazine replaces the two pushpins around the tombstone as well as the foregrip, though you can actually remove the bracket that attaches to the foregrip nut so you can still use it. Anyways, the magazine just slides over the tombstone and braided steel line and then you feed the attachment screws through and tighten, that's all there is to it.
The one problem that I find with this, though, is that you can't remove the tombstone and trigger frame without complete removal of the Lapco magazine first. It's not much of an issue but it's worth noting.
Not much to say here other than it's very tough. The magazine showed no sign of wear after a few games at various locations, and I was not babying it at all. It also doesn't add any noticeable weight to your A-5 which is a HUGE plus on it's part!
I recommend this magazine to anyone looking for the authentic M4 look, or just a really nice magazine. It's cheap compared to the alternatives, very lightweight, and very strong so you know it'll last.

Looks. Thats what it was made for, and it does the job
Does not make paintball into heat seekers :(
I bought the Lapco mag because it was the most realistic one I saw.
All the other mags I looked at attached in place of the handle, in front of
the triggerguard, and only attached to the one nut.
The Lapco mag, attaches to the body of the marker, and is positioned
in a much more realistic location.
As far as durability, I've dropped it, taken t off multiple times. And other
than scratches, its fine. The bolts have not stripped out or broken.
Bossman A5 clip add-on, this Lapco mag sites against the trigger guard giving the marker a more realistic look. The bossman mag sits a little further in front of the tombstone on the A5.

The installation is very easy, with or without the provided instructions. The Mag installs quickly with the provided 2 bolts as well as the front bolt (which screws into the A5 front handle nut). All screws and bolts come with the Magazine.
Gives your marker a more realistic look. That's all it's for, it does not provide any function at all for the marker.
It feels very solid once installed, I can not attest for it's durability during play as I have only tested the product, but it seems to me that the ABS Plastic that it's made from will not flex or crack under normal playing conditions.
going for a realistic looking M4 conversion on the A5? This add-on will be well worth it in the realm of looks. This is one of the only M4 mags for the A5 that fits over the tombstone and looks like it should be there.

Schoolchildren in the Northern Virginia and Washington D.C. metropolitan areas have an opportunity to improve their literacy by reading books to shelter cats through the Paws and Read program, which will launch on March 2 to coincide with Dr. Seuss’ birthday and to celebrate his world renowned book, “The Cat in the Hat.” The Paws and Read program is an Animal Welfare League of Arlington educational initiative designed to help children improve and enhance their reading skills, while at the same time provide shelter cats with socialization and TLC.
Unlike human listeners, the cats are nonjudgmental, and animals can be a source of comfort and support for children as they learn. According to a study conducted by Tufts University Paw for People Visitation Team, “Kids who did this improved their reading skills compared with those who read to human volunteers.”
“Children that have difficulty reading are often self-conscious when reading in front of other classmates,” said Jennifer Pickar, director of community programs, AWLA. “Having a playful, purring companion around can make reading more fun and help to build the child’s self-esteem.”
The Paws and Read program benefits the shelter cats as well. Each year AWLA receives about 900 cats with an average length of stay of 35 days. With no time limit for any of its animals, some cats may live at the shelter for months before finding permanent homes.
“Cats are inherently social creatures and enjoy human interaction,” said Kevin Simpson, director of behavior and adoptions, AWLA. “The rhythmic sound of a child’s voice can be soothing and provide our shelter cats with an outlet for human socialization while they await adoption.”
There are plans for the Paws and Read program to expand to include dogs and small companion animals. But for now, children in kindergarten through fifth grade are invited to participate, for free, in 20-minute reading sessions with shelter cats on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 1-5:20 p.m. Parents must accompany their children to the reading sessions. Children may choose a book from AWLA’s selection of stories or bring their own. AWLA will feature Dr. Seuss books in March to honor the late author’s birthday. Cats participating in the program are identified with “Purrrfect Reader” signs on their cages.
“It is satisfying to see the children engaged with the shelter cats in a relaxed and fun environment, where they don’t have to worry about someone telling them they pronounced a word wrong or skipped part of the story,” said Pickar.
To register for the Paws and Read program visit, www.awla.org or 703-931-9241 ext. 213.

A nod… Or is that a turd? Anyway, when I originally clicked this CVG article, I had Halo 2 on my mind, so I wasn’t at all surprised to find it there amongst the other sad sack endings for titles like Fable. But Super Mario Bros.? I guess I never really associated grandiose endings with first generation NES titles, but CVG makes a good point. After slogging it out through eight worlds over a few hours, that hapless princess tells you to start all over again! Women.
But as I sat typing this and watching the New England Patriots manhandle the Jets, I got to thinking about endings. One of my favorite NES games, Life Force, gives you a three second exploding planet scene before it throws you back into the mix all over again. With the success of Wii Sports, and the mass salivation that has started thanks to the approaching Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, are endings going to feature into the really good Wii games? The focus now, it would seem, is entirely upon getting the control scheme to pop. As developer costs skyrocket for the other systems, I can easily see endings being sacrificed due to budget constraints in those mediums as well.
Could some Infendo readers weigh in on the endings for Wii’s current slate of titles? I’m not talking spoilers at all, I assure you, but was there, you know, an ending in every sense of the word? When you guys were playing away from Nov. 19 to the present, did you find yourselves more focused on the game play, ending be damned?
I’m a sucker for a great ending when I’m playing RPGs, but I get the distinct feeling that the epic endings of old might just stay that way, in the past.

Every year on Jan. 26, Australia Day commemorates the 1788 landing of the First Fleet in Sydney Cove, effectively becoming the country's national day.
And much like those first 11 ships that comprised the First Fleet explored the coasts of Australia more than 200 years ago, cruise ships nowadays give adventurous travelers the chance to discover the Oceanian country.
With more than 20 cruise lines sailing the waters of Australia throughout 2023 and beyond, itineraries abound. And along with finding the right voyage, snagging the right deal can make your Australian dream a reality.
In the spirit of Australia Day, we round up some of the best cruise deals to the land Down Under, so you may embark on your very own voyage of Aussie discovery.
Note: Prices fluctuate daily. It's likely that the prices quoted in this article have changed since time of publication and should be viewed as an estimate. Visit Cruise Critic's Find a Cruise Page to get up-to-date pricing.
Unsurprisingly, the lowest Australia cruise deals are found on short 3-day itineraries departing from Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane or Adelaide. Most of these itineraries consist of one-way journeys linking Australian cities or short roundtrip voyages.
You can find fares between $167- $184 person for an inside cabin on cruise lines like Princess, and we’ve seen deals for balcony cabins on these itineraries for $277 per person. Some last-minute deals can go as low as $114 per person for an inside cabin (or $132 per person for an outside cabin).
Similar deals on longer 5- or 6-night cruises are not unheard of. These can range between $377 to $450 per person for an inside cabin on lines like Princess, Royal Caribbean or Celebrity. We've even come across a deal for as low as $268 per person on an inside cabin on a 5-night itinerary sailing on January 2024 from Adelaide to Melbourne aboard Grand Princess.
A country as vast as Australia beckons travelers to embark on longer journeys of exploration. Luckily, enticing fares are also available on weeklong cruises.
You can score deals for just under $400 on Princess Cruises or $450 on Royal Caribbean on 7-night Australian itineraries, which comes down to about $57 and $75 per person per night, respectively.
But the deals don't end with weeklong cruises; you can also find enticing value on itineraries that are twice as long.
We came across a deal on Holland America's Noordam for $679 per person for an inside cabin (or $764 per person for an outside cabin). Similarly, we found a 13-night cruise onboard Celebrity Solstice for $699 for an inside cabin and $899 per person for an outside cabin.
The ongoing wave season also presents a great opportunity to score some great deals on cruises to Australia, particularly if you're looking for additional perks beyond the allure of a low fare.
Cunard's 'Treat Yourself on Us' Wave Season deal, for instance, offers discounts of up to 30% on fares for voyages booked by March 28, 2023, as well as up to $2,000 of onboard credit.
Similarly, Holland America's Time of your Life wave offer applies to Australia itineraries. The deal includes a free stateroom upgrade, fare discounts, free fares for kids and reduced deposits, and is combinable with Holland America's 'Have it All' premium package, which also includes tours, beverages, specialty dining and Wi-Fi.

Most of the buildings you’ll see are worn down and roughed up, but then you get a peak at an amazing piece of architecture like the Taipei 101 building. The majority of your “Kodak moments” involve people — and there are a lot of them (people, not “Kodak moments”) in Taipei. At night, you’ll get a variety of lights and colors.

University leaders consider cutting another sport
April 1, 2015
A year after the UW-River Falls swimming and diving team was cut, the university is going through a similar situation with the possibility of women’s golf or tennis being cut from UWRF.
After Gov. Scott Walker proposed his $300 million UW System budget cut, which will take away approximately $4.9 million from UWRF, the university is forced to look into cutting things as efficiently as possible. The participation numbers in tennis and golf are low, which make them the easier to cut because it wont affect as many people.
Student Senate President Tony Sumnicht is involved with some of the ideas to help reduce the budget at UWRF and showed some insight about what the budget cut may do to the university.
“There is some general concern among the university that there is a perception that there is not going to be the same university next year, but we are making cuts strategically and we are trying to have as little impact as possible on academic programs," Sumnicht said. “The priority is to protect the academics, at a Div. III school most students come for academics and not the athletics.”
The idea to cut a women’s sport was just brought into discussion last week, and the athletic department is yet to release a statement on the matter so it did not comment.
Sumnicht said that the wheels are turning to cut a sport and was expecting some sort of statement in the coming weeks.
“They’re in the process of eliminating a sport. It is something that is broadly being considered, because the athletic department has not made a recommendation yet,” Sumnicht said. “The decision is ultimately left up the Chancellor and then it’ll be reviewed by a Faculty Senate committee.”
Sumnicht commented and said that cutting a men’s team would not be possible, because the WIAC has a minimum number of sports that must be offered for each gender and UWRF is at the minimum for men’s teams.
Another factor that needs to be considered is Title IX. Title IX rules state that the ratio of men and women athletes participating in sports, needs to be very close to the ratio of men and women students. Golf and tennis both do not have large participation numbers so it will not break Title IX rules if one is cut.
Around the UWRF campus the idea of cutting a women’s sport does not bother most of the students.
“I don’t think it will be a problem if tennis or golf gets cut, I don’t think there are many people who pay attention to them anyway, other than the athletes,” said UWRF student Alex Boyer. “I think it will be interesting to see how UWRF changes next year after they address the new budget.”
This historically large cut will be stretching the university thin next year and Sumnicht hopes that they do a good job addressing it. It will be interesting to see how the university changes in the upcoming months.

From the rugged steep peaks of the Organ Mountains to the largest rock etchings in North America, the stunning contrasts of southern New Mexico can be viewed at any time of year. Plains meet craggy alpine peaks and the white sands roll across the northern horizon. Visit the nearby Mescalero Cultural Center, International Space Hall of Fame, or Alamogordo just outside the Lincoln National Forest. Explore the Chihuahuan Desert and find history, plentiful shopping, and a giant sandbox for kids of all ages. This road trip through New Mexico is exploring the southlands through the Land of Enchantment.
How long? If you include side trips, it’s around 298 miles, about six-and-a-half-hours. Of course, this assumes you don’t stop at any of the destinations. It’s a doable one-day trip if you start early in the morning and plan to spend all day driving, visiting the sites, and then heading back to Las Cruces. It might be a fun weekend trip if you spend the night in Ruidoso or at the Inn of the Mountain Gods (I highly recommend doing so).
Time of Year? This road trip can be done year-round. Summer temperatures can get toasty, but that’s to be expected. April, May, October, and November are prime months to visit.

Start out at the Mesilla Plaza and visit outdoor shopping areas, musicians playing in the gazebo, and traditional architecture. Also, like hot food? The Walk of Flame Green Chili trail will lead you to places where you can sample everything from green chili ice cream to green chili hot dogs. The fertile Mesilla Valley has also been growing wine back to the late 1500s. Sample a glass of wine at the Rio Grande Vineyard and Winery and other wineries around the city.
Pre-American, New Mexican, and American history can quickly be seen as you cross this steep mountain range that rises above the desert. The Dropping Springs Visitor Center has an array of interactive displays about the geography and ecology of the area. During the rainy season, the nearby Dripping Springs Natural Area is transformed into a gushing waterfall that you can hike to. The La Cueva rock shelter was occupied for thousands of years and you can hike from the visitor’s center to view the site. While it is illegal to disturb or remove any artifacts, you can still view them as you walk along the trails.
As you continue down NM-70, you’ll quickly spot the dunes of the White Sands National Monument across the northern horizon. Known for its rare white gypsum sand dunes, these 230 square miles of the preserve is one of the world’s most beautiful sandboxes. Walk down the Dune Life Nature Trail for interactive exhibits on the wildlife that survive in the area.
The eight-mile Dunes Drive loops around from the White Sands Visitor Center to the dune field and then loops back around. The heat in the summer can exceed 100 degrees so plan accordingly. You can simply stay on Dunes Drive and see the area without ever leaving your car (or AC). Otherwise, bring more water than you think; one gallon (four liters) per person per day is recommended by the National Park Service.
The next portion of the drive will take you through Alamogordo, New Mexico, and up a steep ascent on Route 82 into the Lincoln National Forest and Cloudcroft. The increased elevation brings a decrease in temperature and greener landscape. Pine trees and apple orchards can be seen along the route. Stop at Tunnel Vista overlook to see both the forested mountains and the desert floor that you are rising above. Cloudcroft is a city perched at 8,700 feet and is a popular winter destination. Stop at the popular Big Daddy’s Diner on James Canyon Highway for a bite to eat and to sample the local ambiance.
If you’re a fan of astronomy and want to take a side trip, take the 17-mile Sunspot Scenic Byway and head down to the National Solar Observatory. You’ll pass evergreens and an array of wildflowers on your way up to the National Solar Observatory. While there, walk around the telescopes and view exhibits about the history of the observatory. Park and get a first-hand look at solar flares and sunspots.
As you snake through the mountains, you’ll venture into the mountain resort town of Ruidoso. This town is great in the summer as you can keep cool while visiting many of the towns unique shops and centers. Mechem drive is the main drive. You can buy jewelry at Apache Trading, visit pottery shops, or go for a walk. Many of the roads are two lanes and get crowded fairly fast during the day. Look for the public parking signs, park, and then walk from there while exploring downtown. It’s not that big and you’ll spend less time sitting in your car when the traffic makes you feel like you are in Estes Park in June.
Feeling whimsical? Visit the Hondo Fairy Garden about 24 miles east of Ruidoso near Hondo. It can be a lot of fun, especially if you have children (or are a child at heart).
Located in the heart of Capitan, the Smokey Bear National Historic Park is a place where visitors can learn all about the orphaned little bear cub with burned paws to rose to fame as an icon for forest fire prevention. Once he passed away, he was laid to rest in his hometown and his burial site can be viewed within the park. His legacy was then passed on to another orphaned black bear from the Lincoln National Forest. [If you need a good cry, look at the pictures of the baby cub with Judy Bell, a little girl who was instrumental in getting him to eat after he was rescued as a cub.] At the visitor’s center, take a tour to learn about the area, forest health, wildfires, and fire ecology. You can also explore information about the state’s natural resources. Capitan’s original train depot and a playground can also be found at the site.
Approximately 5,000 years ago, Little Black Peak volcano erupted and flowed 44 miles into the Tularosa Basin. From the Valley of Fires Recreation Area, you can view the barren rock that solidified into tiny peaks. Tenacious drought-resistant plants surround the area and a short ¾-mile loop trail will take you across a cracked terrace onto the solidified lava flow. A variety of birds, such as owls, hawks, cactus wrens, sparrows, and eagles can be found in the area. It’s a short little side stop just four miles west of Carrizozo. It has picnic shelters, tables, potable water, and vault toilets throughout the park.
Carved centuries ago by the Jornada Mogollon people, the Three Rivers Petroglyph Site is unique for the being one of the largest rock art sites in the Southwest. Scattered over 50 acres in the northern part of the Chihuahuan Desert, there are more than 21,000 petroglyphs of humans, animals, birds, fish, geometric, abstract, and other designs. View a small pueblo ruin and hike up from the visitor’s center to have a grand view of the Sierra Blanca in the east, the San Andrews Mountains in the western horizon, and the White Sands to the south.
Continuing south on NM-54, you’ll finish in the city of Alamogordo in the heart of the Chihuahuan Desert. Space development is local history in this area, so you can find a variety of sites and museums to cool off in the desert heat. At the International Space Hall of Fame, you can take a simulated walk on Mars and view exhibits that talk about space exploration from the earliest rocketry experiments. The New Mexico Museum of Space History is also nearby and not too far from New Mexico’s space center.
From Alamogordo, continue your way back down NM-54 towards Las Cruces or even further south to El Paso. Carlsbad Caverns is a solid three-hours east of Alamogordo, but it’s another great place to visit and cool off in the underground caves.

This is the oldest municipal building in continuous use in Texas. Beneath its extensively remodeled exterior are arched openings that were once open for commerce, but now are enclosed as office space. Despite its altered appearance, the building survives as a Brownsville icon, with its Mission Revival domed tower of 1949 incorporated into the official seal of the city.
The old City Market was a belated attempt by the Brownsville Town Company in 1850 to create a public space by carving an entire city block to place the facility at its center. Once completed, the new square acted as a magnet for the construction of several residential-commercial compounds that showcased examples of the more intricate late-nineteenth-century version of the Border Brick style.

Victoria’s New “Text Alert” System for Beachgoers
The Victorian Government will be implementing a new warning system designed to give beachgoers an SMS message with updates on shark activity on the nations beaches. It will specifically help those that go to unpatrolled beaches.
2015 has seen an increase in the number of shark attacks on Australia’s beaches with the number of unprovoked attacks increasing to 22. Because of this the organizations around the country are looking at finding better ways to alert people of shark activity early.
Some of these include shark spotting planes and drones as implemented by the NSW government or this recent early warning “text message” service by Life Saving Victoria.
The new Beach Safe App is another example of where technology is trying to beat the sharks to the swimmers and keep them safe.

Chauvet Teamely. Bathrooms Cabinets. January 10th , 2018.
As a storage option, tall bathroom cabinets are optimal for bath spaces. They can be used to store everyday items like linens and bath supplies for family members, but they also provide a convenient option for storing accessory and supply overflow, as well as extra supplies for guests.
Black bathroom vanities can add a stylish and striking design element to your bath space, accentuating other colors in the room or contrasting with bright whites in your design. Black bathroom vanities generally fall into a few common categories. The first encompasses a traditional, romantic or "old world" approach. Black bathroom vanities that fall into this category tend to feature the ornate, intricately designed and elegant style of Victorian or old-world European bath spaces. Plush cushions on seating, oval tabletops with ornate trim, and gilded mirrors with intricately designed frames are common.
Cabinet storage for bathrooms comes in many forms, from standalone cabinet pieces to bathroom vanities that include a sink as well as drawers and cabinets. Depending on the size and configuration of your bathroom, integrated or standalone cabinet storage may be more appropriate. If your bathroom often hosts two users in a small space, for example, integrated storage with equally divided, symmetrical storage can be a great solution. That way, both users can store and access their bath supplies easily.
Plumbing fixtures are the main event in the bathroom: toilet, sink, shower and tub. In each of these categories, you can splurge and take the bathroom (and your budget) to resort proportions. Or you can stay within a slim budget and choose value-engineered fixtures that will get the job done. The best way to begin selecting these essentials is to visit a bathroom showroom where you can see and try-and ask questions. Your designer will guide you through the selection process and make recommendations, as will a professional in a plumbing showroom who is well-versed in the latest technologies.

Psychiatrists say too many young people are dying from eating disorders whose lives could have been saved with early treatment and help.
New guidelines for all healthcare professionals in the UK explain how to spot the signs of people at risk and how best to treat them.
Hospitalisations for people with eating disorders in England have increased by 84% over the past five years.
Charities say they are very concerned about the impact on all age groups.
Royal College of Psychiatrists’ guide to medical emergencies for eating disorders All medical professionals, no matter where they work, are increasingly likely to come into contact with people with severe eating disorders who need urgent care.
The Covid pandemic has exacerbated an already growing problem of eating disorders among young people, with mental health charities saying lockdowns in particular are having a devastating effect on the most vulnerable.
Latest data from the NHS It showed 24,268 people were admitted to hospital for eating disorders in England in 2020-21, up from 13,219 in 2015-16, with the largest increase in people aged 18 and under.
The vast majority of those affected were young women, but hospital admissions for young men more than doubled during this period.
“It was horrible to hear the staff didn’t know how to help”
James Downs, 32, developed anorexia at 15 after a series of mental health problems – but it took him almost seven years to see food from a cardiac arrhythmologist, Because where he lives in South Wales it doesn’t.
“No one has the specialized skills to help me,” he said.
When James ended up in the general ward, staff told him publicly that no one knew what to do.
“I’m already in a crisis and I’m very scared, but hearing about it scares me even more,” James said.
“If they panic, that’s pretty scary to me.»
James’ health has deteriorated over the years, and although he appears healthy, he has been admitted to the hospital more than 20 times. These are often dangerously low potassium levels or heart problems — two consequences of malnutrition.
“It shouldn’t be necessary,” he said.
Often, medical professionals are unsure of the language used around eating disorders and often dismiss their problems.
He found it “tiring and really difficult” to navigate the healthcare system while having to repeat his story to countless different people.
“It comes down to training and awareness. Getting help early could prevent so many people from being admitted to hospital.
“We need informed care, not negative experiences. »
People with eating disorders can look healthy even when they are seriously ill.
To help identify those at risk, the guide contains practical tools and treatment advice for everyone from nurses to physiotherapists, A&E doctors, GPs and nutritionists, as well as caregivers and patients.
Psychiatrists began updating the guidelines in 2019 after discovering the “tragic cases” of three young people, including 19-year-old Avril Hart, who died of anorexia in 2012 after collapsing in her college apartment .
Eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating affect people of all ages and genders and are not a lifestyle choice, said Dr. Dasha Nicholls, a child and adolescent eating disorder psychiatrist who led the work on the guidelines.
“These are mental health disorders and we should not underestimate their seriousness.
“Although anorexia nervosa is often considered the deadliest mental health condition, most deaths can be prevented with early treatment and support,” she said.
Dr Nichols said the new guidelines needed to be urgently made available to medical professionals if the eating disorder epidemic was to be stopped “on its track”.
Tom Quinn, from eating disorder charity Beat, said he hoped the advice would “make a huge difference” because the sooner they got help, the better their chances of avoiding hospitalisation and making a full recovery.
But he said he was “very concerned” about the increase in hospital admissions for eating disorders across all age groups.
He said the pandemic had had a huge impact on services already under pressure.
“Frontline workers work tirelessly to support as many people as possible, but they can’t do this without adequate staff and funding, and the government must prioritise this,” he said.
Health and Social Care England said it would invest £53 million in services for children and adolescents with eating disorders to increase the capacity of 70 community support teams across the country.
A further £79 million has been invested in children’s mental health services so that at least 2,000 more children and young people have access to eating disorder services, he said.

Menaquinones, a type of vitamin K, have been studied extensively in the past few years. They are found in fermented foods such as natto (fermented soybeans), sauerkraut, and hard cheese.
One of the two main categories of Vitamin K is the group of substances known as menaquinones. They are bacterial products that contribute about 50 percent of the body’s needs. They differ from phylloquinones in structure, containing between four and ten isoprenoid units. Bacteroides produces MK-10 and MK-11. Fermented food products, such as cheese, contain longer chain menaquinones.
Although menaquinones make up about 25% of the vitamin K intake, little is known about their absorption and utilization. In contrast to phylloquinone, menaquinones differ in their chemical structure and pharmacokinetics. This variation may affect their bioavailability and metabolism and affect health outcomes. Although phylloquinone is the most widely consumed form of Vitamin K, menaquinones are not included in the DRV. There is still much more research to be done to determine their specific roles in the body and what they may do.
Foods containing menaquinones include some green vegetables and cheese. However, the amounts of these substances vary depending on the type of food and the processing methods used to produce it. Intestinal microflora may provide some of your daily requirements. Intestinal menaquinone intake is correlated with many dietary characteristics and lifestyle factors. For example, the higher levels of menaquinones in cheese are associated with a lower incidence of lung and prostate cancer, and the higher intake of menaquinones is linked with a lower risk of cancer.
The four isoprene residues of menaquinone-4 make it the most common form of vitamin K2 found in animal products. It is synthesized from vitamin K1 in certain tissues of animals.
While menaquinones are derived from the plants, the phylloquinone found in some plant oils are more bioavailable than those obtained from green vegetables. Natto, a Japanese fermented soy food, is the richest dietary source of menaquinones. However, it’s not as well-known outside of Japan. The Japanese food natto contains high amounts of MK-7.
The dietary intake of MK-4 is lower than that of other forms of vitamin K, including phylloquinone. However, dietary phylloquinone converts into MK-4 in the body, preventing deficiency in some species. Since MKs are not absorbed or utilized in humans, the daily amount of MKs produced by gut microflora is higher than the nutrient requirements of humans.
In addition to clotting, vitamin K has several other functions. It regulates bone metabolism and promotes heart health. The body uses these substances in a variety of ways, but little is known about their functions. The most common uses of vitamin K are for treating blood clotting and for reverse-acting warfarin. Cenforce 100mg can also help in athletic performance. But, unlike vitamin K, menaquinones are not well-absorbed in humans.
In a recent study, Gast et al. studied the intake of menaquinones among a large cohort of Dutch women for 12.1 years. The results showed that menaquinones were associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke. They also found a relationship between menaquinones and total energy intake. And because they were associated with total energy intake and other dietary factors, menaquinones may be linked to osteoporosis and atherosclerosis.
Vitamin K is important in the production of bone-building collagen, osteocalcin, and matrix-Gla protein. It is necessary to consume a high-quality vitamin K diet to maintain bone health. Vitamin K supplements often contain synthetic vitamin K1 (Vitamin K1), while MK-7 is a natural form that is readily available in most health food products. It is not known how much menaquinone-7 is effective in bone-building.
A recent study also found that circulating MK-4 levels in older adults at risk of developing cardiovascular disease were not associated with all-cause mortality. This was not the case for phylloquinone-containing foods, however. In this study, circulating dp-ucMGP levels were associated with lower risks for CVD, heart disease, and osteoarthritis. But this study’s authors noted that a low level of vitamin K could be linked with cardiovascular disease and osteoarthritis.
While some research has found no link between vitamin K and bone health, there are several studies pointing to a correlation between these two nutrients. A study in women with lower levels of vitamin K1 showed a 30% higher risk of hip fracture than women with higher levels. And a study that followed 72,000 women for 10 years found a link between vitamin K1 and age-related bone loss. These studies show that the antioxidant properties of vitamin K1 play an important role in preventing bone loss and increasing bone strength.
If we are to get the benefits from the latest breakthroughs in the field of vitamins, we must first understand what these are and how they function. Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin synthesized by bacteria in the intestine. It plays a number of important roles in our bodies, including regulating blood calcium levels and bone health. Vitamin K is also known as phytonadione.
In humans, menadione is a precursor to vitamin K, a compound that is converted to the active form of Vitamin K2, menaquinone. While menadione is not commonly used as a nutritional supplement, it is known to be toxic and isn’t recommended for human use. Despite its beneficial properties, menadione is currently banned for human consumption in supplement form, which is why it’s also known as Vitamin K3. Vidalista 20 mg Tablet is a phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor used for the treatment of impotence (ED), also known as the inability to get a hard erection, in men.
Recent studies have shown that menadione is associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease in humans. In fact, researchers from the University of California, San Francisco, and Harvard Medical School published two reviews about menadione and vitamin K1 in J Nutr. And in the prestigious journal of nutrition, Hart JP and Goldin BR have published studies examining the role of menadione in the prevention of osteoporosis.
There are a number of different types of vitamin K. Vitamin K1 and vitamin K2 are both naturally occurring compounds, while menadione is synthesized from menaquinone. The latter can interfere with glutathione, the body’s antioxidant, in a variety of ways. Furthermore, menadione has been linked to toxicity in some people and jaundice, hemolytic anemia, and rupture of red blood cells. Sadly, menadione is no longer recommended as a vitamin K supplement.
Menaquinones are produced in the human body primarily by bacteria in the colon. They are also found in fermented dairy products, such as cheese and curds. Animal livers contain long-chain menaquinones. They are only available in a limited number of food composition tables, and their contribution to our vitamin K intake is still unknown. This vitamin K is primarily synthesized by bacteria in the colon and large intestine, and up to 50% of the Vitamin K we ingest is produced in our body.
The menadione molecule has already received FDA approval to be the next super vitamin for Vitamin K. This man-made vitamin can be found in foods like broccoli, spinach, and carrots. But it is also synthesized in labs by scientists. It is currently being researched and a few people have already taken menadione and are excited about its benefits. This is great news for consumers as we know that vitamin K is essential for healthy bones.
This compound is part of the Vitamin K family and is essential for the biosynthesis of blood clotting factors. The compound also has cytotoxic activity against cell culture lines. It can increase superoxide radicals and peroxide radicals, and induce apoptosis in cultured cells. Menadione is an activator of enzymes and a phosphatase inhibitor. It is also a possible oxidative injury inducing agent.
This new compound has already received FDA approval, and it also carries a high level of antioxidant activity. It has a protective effect on arteries, preventing them from hardening. It has also been linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart disease. It is important to note that menadione is the next super vitamin for Vitamin K, and the benefits are worth it!

The cooperation between the University of Luxembourg and the NUOL with the Faculty of Law and Political Science (FLP) organised its second Legal Research Seminar from 4th-7th of September 2018.
This was the first event organised by the newly arrived Liaison Officer Dr. Perrine SIMON, replacing Dr. Heleen De Geest. She welcomed with the FLP a delegation composed by Professor Stefan Braum accompanied with a team of four Post Graduate researchers from the University of Luxembourg. who will deliver seminars on legal research at the Faculty over the next three days.
The week-long workshop focused on legal methodology and on how to structure and write a research paper. The last legal research seminar was very well received by the lecturers of the FLP. The workshops were highly appreciated by the teachers, which was reflected in their dynamic participation allowing significant interaction between the seminar leaders and them.
Some of 50 lecturers from the Faculty of Law and Political Science, National University of Laos were awarded certificates after participating in the three-day seminar on legal research led by Professor Stefan Braum and researchers from the University of Luxembourg. The lecturers also received some thank you gifts from the FLP.


THE Sea Eagles revitalised their minds as well as their bodies ahead of Friday night's showdown with Des Hasler's Bulldogs at Fortress Brookvale by taking part in an intensive yoga session yesterday.
With all the pressure and hype surrounding this week's clash, the ancient Indian discipline could prove the secret weapon that gives the Sea Eagles the edge they need.
This exclusive photograph shows some of the squad being put through the routine by instructor Troy Abraham in the plush new Premier Health and Fitness Centre at the Manly Leagues Club.
And in what could be an omen for Friday's game, one of the yoga moves they performed is called the Downward Dog.
"We like to introduce new things all the time and yoga was investigated," Sea Eagles head strength and conditioning coach Don Singe said.
"It really has proved to be quite significant in the training."
After a weights workout the players then had a change pace by entering the yoga zone.
"We do it mostly with them as recovery and a more mellow practice," Abraham told the Manly Daily.
"We do it a couple of days after games as flexibility training and so they can clear their minds.
"We start with a little bit of strength but for the most part we give them a lot of relaxation."
His company Power Living has been working with the club for three years.
"Yoga has been absolutely fantastic for us," Singe said.
"It's not only for the flexibility, but yoga has quite a few strength and circulation elements about it too," he said.
"Working from the inside out, learning how to relax, at the same time learning how to switch the entire muscle on.
"It's been quite a revelation."
Singe said the club has yoga sessions twice a week during the pre-season and usually once a week during the premiership.
In a good sign ahead of Friday's game the vibe among the players was very positive as they freely interacted with the other gym patrons.
There was no indication they felt under the pump ahead of the game.
