I like Marisa de los Santos’ books. So when I heard she had a new one coming out, I couldn’t wait to grab it off the shelf. I’d read her other two novels a few months ago and was pleasantly surprised by what a good writer she is. “Falling Together” is about three people who share an intense and very exclusive friendship during college. After graduation, Pen, Cat, and Will all move to the city, but when Cat decides to get married, they make the decision to go their separate ways. Their reasoning is that admitting another person into their circle would inevitably degrade the friendship, and they’d rather have nothing than less than what they had. So, Pen has a daughter, Will becomes a famous children’s author, and Cat gets married. Pen and Will see each other again at their college reunion after having received an email from Cat asking them for their help. What follows is their attempt to find Cat.
I’ll admit, I can’t say that I enjoyed de los Santos’ novel quite as much as her first two. Here’s why:
- I actually didn’t really like any of the characters. This is a problem for me – it’s why I loathe “Crime and Punishment.” If I can’t like at least one of the characters, I’m not going to like the book. The story is mostly told in Pen’s voice, and I found her snobbiness to be increasingly annoying. Cat simply came off as a selfish, needy person, who didn’t care how her choices affected others. Will was harmless and underwhelming. And I’m a little tired of precocious children who always get their way because they’re just so charming and cute, which is why I didn’t like Pen’s daughter.
- One of the main themes of the books is friendship, and I found the main characters’ friendship to be incredibly annoying by the end. One of the reasons why I like de los Santos’ novels so much is that she adds these very intimate details about people and their interactions with each other so that you feel like you know them. Her relationships are always very rich and beautiful, something to which the reader can aspire. However, this friendship just came off as being selfish, unbelievable, and excessive. The really good friendships should elevate you, and this one didn’t seem to do that.
- Marisa de los Santos usually creates these worlds that you’re either “cool” or not. Now, she probably wouldn’t use the world “cool,” but there’s a clear delineation between the characters who “get” it and those who don’t. Either you’re quirky and witty and like old movies or you’re a bumbling moron (as portrayed by Cat’s husband, Jason, whom Will and Pen dislike greatly). Her characters are just sometimes too extreme for my taste, and that was definitely the case here. Jason gets frustrated with the different language that Pen and Will speak, but so does the reader!
Now, all that being said, I have to say that one thing I do appreciate is that de los Santos is one of the few contemporary novelists who actually portrays families as being happy together. According to writers today, no one is happy, and no one seems to actually like their family very much. I also particularly enjoy the way she portrays maternal love – it’s poetic and lovely and puts into words something that I imagine is very hard to express.

The Future of Agriculture: Soil Sensors and Precision Farming
Agriculture is a critical industry that provides food and resources to people across the globe. However, the traditional methods of farming may not be sustainable or efficient enough to meet the growing demands of the population and the planet. It is time for a change, and the future of agriculture lies in soil sensors and precision farming.
Soil sensors are technologies that measure various parameters in the soil, such as moisture, temperature, nutrient content, and pH level. These sensors provide farmers with accurate data to make informed decisions about fertilization, watering, and other critical aspects of crop production. By using soil sensors to collect real-time data, farmers can optimize their farming practices, reduce waste, and improve crop yields.
Precision farming is a farming technique where farmers use technology to tailor their practices to specific areas of land instead of applying them uniformly over the entire farm. This allows farmers to apply the right amount of inputs like fertilizer and water to each plant, which maximizes crop yield and reduces waste. By combining soil sensors with precision farming, farmers can achieve better results while minimizing environmental impact.
One of the benefits of using soil sensors in precision farming is more efficient use of water. Over-watering a plant is as bad as under-watering it, so farmers need to know exactly how much water each plant needs. Soil sensors provide real-time data on moisture levels, allowing farmers to apply water only where and when it is needed, reducing water usage and preserving groundwater resources.
Another benefit of soil sensors is reducing the usage of chemical fertilizers. Over-fertilization can cause environmental problems and waste resources. Soil sensors can provide farmers with information on the nutrient content of soil, allowing them to tailor the application of fertilizers to minimize waste and maintain soil health.
Additionally, precision farming techniques can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture industry. By optimizing crop production and limiting wasteful practices, farmers can reduce their carbon footprint while still producing the necessary food and resources to feed the world’s growing population.
Soil sensors and precision farming are also allowing for greater automation in agriculture. With the use of soil sensors, drones, and autonomous tractors, farmers can gather data, make informed decisions, and take action quickly without the need for manual labor. This can lead to reduced labor costs and increased efficiency in farming practices.
Despite the many benefits of soil sensors and precision farming, there are challenges to their widespread adoption and implementation. One such challenge is the cost of implementing the technology. However, as the technology becomes cheaper and more accessible, it will become more common in agricultural practices.
Another challenge is providing training and education to farmers on how to use the technology effectively. Soil sensors and precision farming require a level of technical expertise to manage properly. The development of training programs to help farmers learn the necessary skills is essential to its widespread adoption.
In conclusion, the future of agriculture lies in soil sensors and precision farming. By using these technologies to gather real-time data on soil moisture, nutrient levels, and other critical parameters, farmers can adjust their practices and optimize crop production. As technology continues to evolve, agriculture will become more efficient, sustainable, and capable of feeding the world’s growing population.

Nigel Farage has been accused of helping whip up antagonism against foreigners by Liberal Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable.
But the Brexit Party leader hit back insisting he was “far from racist”, in a heated face-to-face clash with the former cabinet minister.
In a debate organised by the Daily Telegraph ahead of Thursday’s European Parliament elections, Sir Vince told Mr Farage: “You have played a role in whipping up this antagonism to foreigners.
“In the referendum you told us that next year, 2020, Turks are going to be free to come to come to this country. A lot of people were alarmed by something that is patently untrue.
“You put out that advertisement, the hoarding, showing immigrants who had dark faces. I welcome people with dark faces. I was married to one.
“But people coming in from Europe are Europeans. It was giving a totally false picture of what immigration actually amounts to.”
Mr Farage insisted he is more internationalist than people who want to stay in the EU.
He said: “I’ve taken terrible stick on this. When Romania joined the European Union with full access I said this is a huge mistake.
“It was a country that had not made the full transformation to Western democracy and I believed that quarter of a million would come from Romania.
“And I was screamed and shouted at – ‘how dare I scaremonger’ – the last figure I saw was 411,000.
“All I have ever argued with immigration is that we should have a free, fair system that stops discriminating against India and against Australia in favour of Romania, or anywhere else.
“I utterly reject the idea that I am trying to stir anything up.
“Far from being racist, actually, we really are more internationalist than those who want our whole future decided by the EU.”
Mr Farage also attacked the “militant Remainer-type” who he claimed felt “morally superior” to people who voted Leave.

State officials working with the Legal Aid Society obtained a $1.5 judgement in a mortgage rescue fraud case while also helping a Waianae couple who were scammed get their property back.
Hawaii’s Office of Consumer Protection said that in 2011, Hep Yanez Guinn, also known as Hephzibah Yanez Lusica, solicited the victims with mortgage assistance relief services through her company, HYL Consultants LLC.
The couple were facing foreclosure and had hired Guinn to help with a loan modification.
When Guinn was named as a defendant in the foreclosure suit refiled in 2019, the Office of Consumer Protection at the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs learned Guinn tricked the couple into signing over the deed to their property to temporarily make mortgage payments on their behalf, the state agency said in a news release today.

Welcome to the market new vendor, Slice of Heaven Farm
I first met Marieta in a class we are both currently taking together. As we introduced ourselves, we both learned that she was a farmer and I was a farmers’ market manager, what were the chances as we sat right next to each other in class? We both soon realized that she had already applied to my farmers’ market the week prior! Mere chance or coincidence? I think not. It was definitely a match made in heaven! Really, as the name of her family farm is Slice of Heaven Farm.
Brandon and Marieta Easley are new to East County. They moved to Sandy, Oregon a year in August from Louisiana; where they farmed previously. Brandon and Marieta raise their family on the farm with grass-root ideals and farming methods. The family will bring an assortment of vegetables to the market along with their adorable children.
Please give Slice of Heaven Farm a warm welcome to the Gresham area as you visit them at the market every Saturday. They will be excited to meet you and share with the community a piece of Heaven from their farm!

Market Manager, Gresham Farmers Market

SEATTLE, Washington — Naturally, the suffering caused by COVID-19 in any country, despite its development status, is immeasurable. However, developing countries are struggling to cope with COVID-19 exponentially more than developed nations due to pre-existing complications. For example, the U.N. projects Africa will have a total of 300,000 deaths by the end of the year, over twice as high as the global total of 143,744 as of May 2020. The World Bank is aiding developing countries amid the COVID-19 pandemic in order to help economies regain footing and survive the global health crisis.
The World Bank Aids Developing Countries
The situation is bleak, but there is no shortage of ways that the world is helping itself heal. The World Bank, for instance, is a strong advocate for providing financial support to countries with weak economies. The World Bank is aiding developing countries amid the coronavirus pandemic by giving $160 billion in financing over the next 15 months to help nations, specifically with the health and economic tribulations caused by the pandemic. The aid from the World Bank is distributed globally and includes countries like Argentina, Ecuador, Egypt and Afganistan, among others.
Since February 2020, the World Bank has been implementing a combination of short and long-term aid for developing countries:
- Limiting Local Exposure – This funding includes increased and improved laboratory equipment (gloves, masks, and portable ventilators), surveillance systems and additional training for first responders.
- Clinical Facilities –Funding will go toward building and/or expanding upon intensive care facilities including ones specifically meant for quarantine.
- Vaccines – Increased funding will go toward additional medical professionals to research and develop a vaccine to combat the coronavirus.
While these changes will not be immediate as the 15-month distribution of the money implies, the World Bank has already begun funding developing countries. Senegal and Ghana received $20 million and $35 million respectively for surveillance systems and laboratories.
Addressing the Critics
From as far back as the 1970s, critics like P.T Bauers have criticized foreign aid and likened it to an act of faith. In more recent years, critics cite the original list of “Least Developed Countries” by the U.N. in 1971 and how of the current 48 countries, 21 have been on the list since its conception.
Yet, it is important to note that to effectively support impoverished countries long-term solutions need to be implemented to create self-sustaining environments.
CARE, for example, is an NGO that teaches the importance of nutrition and health workers in decreasing child mortality rates, which has decreased by 50% over the past 70 years. Short-term methods are meant to be temporary solutions to an immediate problem.
During the pandemic, a mixture of these solutions is necessary to ensure that people can live through the novel coronavirus and that their countries can survive economically in the long run. These methods are very apparent in how the World Bank is helping impoverished nations. In Tunisia, for example, $100 million was relocated to sponsor small businesses and social benefits. Now, Tunisia’s citizens can be more assured in their fiscal futures once the pandemic ends.
Creating a Stronger, Equal Future
As the former Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, put it, “We need to stop viewing [charity] as aid. It’s an investment.” For example, Libya has an annual GDP growth rate of 17.8%. Foreign countries are potential markets for American businesses and its future stability can boost the U.S. economy.
The World Bank aids developing countries, giving nations the opportunity to develop financial security and lowering the number of people living under the global poverty line. Right now, as important as it is for people to be worried about their own countries, working to help other nations as well will create a stronger, equal future across the globe.

text: A simple printing technique to make a beach bag for your teacher or yourself. Materials Blank canvas bag (you can purchase these at craft stores) Bubble wrap (re-use it from packaging or purchase at a post office) Various colours of blue fabric paint Two craft trays (you can use one to apply the paint or use a large tile as we did) Brayer or paint brush Large piece of cardboard (the size of the bag) Scissors Fabric pen Smock Printout of the gift tag “A Beach Bag for You!” BeachBag Directions Don a smock (especially as you don’t want to get fabric paint on your clothes!) Cut a large piece of cardboard to go into your bag (so the paint won’t seep through to the other side) and insert it. Cut your bubble wrap into wave shapes or for younger children long, thick strips. Pour one colour of your fabric paint into a shallow tray. We used a brayer (rolling it over the paint several times in the tray to get a thin, even coat) to apply the paint to the bubble wrap or you could brush it on or simply dip the bubble wrap in. Apply your bubble wrap to the bag carefully and slowly (as you will have to flip it over and may require assistance with this). Allow your first set of waves to dry overnight. Repeat the process with additional colours of blue, overlapping your waves. Or if you don’t mind some mixing, apply the second set consecutively. Create waves on the other side of the bag, should you like, using the same idea. (Once the front side is completely dry.) In the inside hem of the bag, write your name and the date. Fill the bag with a set of nice shampoo and conditioner, body wash etc., a towel or things you think your teacher may enjoy on the beach- magazines, snacks, drinks etc. Attach the provided gift tag. Purpose Thinking of others, exploring printmaking techniques. Safety Notes Be sure to wear a smock when you use fabric paint. As with all plastic wrapping materials, keep out of reach from children 0-3 and use with supervision.

THE INTER-American Commission for Human Rights (IACHR) wants details of the conditions at the state-controlled quarantine facility at the heliport in Chaguaramas, as well as information on the deportation of Venezuelan asylum-seekers.
A release from the Caribbean Centre for Human Rights (CCHR) on Friday said it had submitted a request to the IACHR for precautionary measures in July.
It said it received a response on Wednesday, and was told that the IACHR had written to the Government of Trinidad and Tobago for information on the CCHR’s request for precautionary measures; the number of asylum-seekers and refugees registered with the government; the deportation of Venezuelans; and conditions at the heliport.
The IACHR has also asked for information on measures taken by the Government to comply with the principle of non-refoulment, as well as the measures taken to protect the asylum-seekers’ and refugees’ right to life, personal integrity and health in the deportation process.
The release said the Government was given five days to respond to the IACHR’s request.
Precautionary measures are mechanisms issued by the IACHR in emergency situations to protect victims of human-rights violations from imminent danger and threats to their safety and security.
Organisation of American States (OAS) members are obliged to comply with precautionary measures and obliged under international law, the CCHR release said.
On Wednesday, the IACHR issued protection orders for six Venezuelan children who were part of a group who returned to TT last month. The international human rights body asked TT to adopt the necessary measures to guarantee the rights to life to the six by refraining from deporting or expelling them to Venezuela until authorities have assessed the risks they face.
Of the 25 Venezuelans, mostly women and children, applications for interim relief were granted for 19 of them, while the State gave an undertaking that itwould not deport three. As a result 22 of them who are protected from being deported at least until their claims in court are determined.

Although there really are no instructions for this project, the pictures on the The Woman Wolf weblog actually are self explanatory. Most martial arts colleges I’ve visited in my space have little to no full contact sparring which I’m advised is essential. But I might start with Muay Thai and BJJ /Sambo first or MMA classes, get into martial arts and then do AJJ/JJJ and Krav Maga.

The next James Bond film will be named today, just over a year before its release date of November 9, 2012 and Daniel Craig will return for his third outing as 007.
Dame Judi Dench is tipped to return as M and Pirates of the Caribbean actress Naomie Harris is also thought to have been cast for the 23rd film of the franchise, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year.
Bond 23 - widely tipped to be called Skyfall - is being directed by Sam Mendes, who won an Oscar for American Beauty in 1999. Reports from last month claimed that Mendes will tone down the action sequences - with some suggesting he will remove them altogether.
However, this is unlikely, with action scenes, car chases and explosions have featured heavily in James Bond films since 1962's Dr No.
Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem has confirmed that he will play a villain in the film.
The James Bond franchise will be celebrating its 50th anniversary next year, and it is 50 years today since Sean Connery was announced as the first Bond in Dr No.
The new Bond film will mark the end of a four-year gap when it is released next November; the last Bond film, Quantum of Solace, was released in 2008. The franchise was put on hold and production of Skyfall was halted in April 2010 because of uncertainty over MGM's future.
MGM applied for bankruptcy protection in November 2010 and a rescue deal was constructed which saw Spyglass Entertainment take control of MGM.

The application of underfill materials to fill up the room between the chip and substrate is known to substantially improve the thermal fatigue life of flip chip solder joints. Nowadays, no-flow underfill materials are gaining much interest over traditional underfill as the application and curing of this type of underfill can be undertaken before and during the reflow process and thus aiding high volume throughput. However, there is always a potential chance of entrapping no-flow underfill in the solder joints. This work, attempts to find out the extent of underfill entrapment in the solder joints and its reliability effect on the flip chip packages. Some unavoidable underfill entrapments at the edges of the joint between solder bumps and substrate pads are found for certain solder joints whatever bonding conditions are applied. It is interesting to report for the first time that partial underfill entrapment at the edges of the solder joint seems to have no adverse effect on the fatigue lifetime of the samples since most of the first solder joint failure in the no-flow flip chip samples during thermal cycling are not at the site of solder interconnection with underfill entrapment. Our modeling results show good agreement with the experiment that shows underfill entrapment can actually increase the fatigue lifetime of the no-flow flip chip package.

WHAT IT IS: A near relative of the Porsche Taycan, the E-Tron GT RS is Audi’s new all-electric powered activity sedan and the flag-bearer of their electrical E-Tron lineup. With styling obviously inspired by the RS7, this huge, gorgeous four-doorway will take on the Tesla Model S and other all-electrical supersedans like the Lucid Air.
WHY IT Matters: Three items stand out about the Audi E-Tron GT RS: its drool-inducing styling, its zero-emission all-electric drivetrain, and its blistering functionality. Audi statements a -60 time of 3.1 seconds, but in our travel of a German-spec prototype, what knocked us out (practically practically) was the E-Tron GT RS’ capacity to quickly introduce its driver’s noggin to the headrest from any speed. Exactly where the GT RS falls down is array, with an believed 232 miles from its 93-kWh battery pack. The standard consensus is that a overall performance EV requires at the very least 300 miles of array to be a serious player. Tesla is previously presenting a lot more than 400 miles, and Lucid is promising upward of 500.
Platform AND POWERTRAINS: The Audi E-Tron GT RS rides Volkswagen Group’s J1 system, which it shares with the Porsche Taycan (and quite possibly other potential autos from VW Group’s luxurious brand names). The E-Tron GT RS employs two electric motors, one particular at each and every axle, with the rear motor using a two-pace planetary transmission that shifts without the need of the need to have for, or possibility of, driver intervention. Electric power output is 590 hp, with bursts to 637 hp through an “overboost” function. Audi will give a lesser two-motor GT model with 469 hp. Both of those variations share the identical 93-kWh battery pack, so having benefit of all that electrical power (which is practically impossible not to do) is bound to shorten the Audi’s range even more.
Approximated Selling price: The E-Tron GT RS will be priced at $141,540 to get started, and it will be attainable to selection the auto to nicely outside of $165,000. The non-RS products will be more reasonably priced: $100,945 for the E-Tron GT Premium Furthermore and $108,145 for the GT Prestige.

flop to the floor: a performance lecture follows the Study Room Residency undertaken by artist and researcher Jude Browning at LADA in June 2019. This live event looks at notions of female vocality and expectations of formal public address and will begin with a new performance by Amelia Barratt.
Jude Browning will present a performance lecture, with sections of the script taken from her PhD thesis Mouthwork: Staged Presentation and Laboured Expression and drawing on Karen Finley’s 1966 performance It’s My Body and Lydia Lunch’s satirical screenplay Psychomenstrum (1989/93). Browning has worked with choreographer Janice Parker on the movement for this performance, looking at the physical gesture of ‘the flop’ as a means to undermine the conventions of Western power dynamics performed in public speaking.
Drinks and refreshments will be served.
LADA is wheelchair accessible, and provides gender inclusive bathrooms.
Amelia Barratt is an artist based in London working with writing, performance and drawing. She studied at The Glasgow School of Art and Slade School of Art, and has recently shown work at: Cubitt Gallery, London; Drawing Room, London; Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, London, The Museum of London and Glasgow International Festival.
Jude Browning is an artist and researcher based in Glasgow. Her work examines acts of writing and performance in formal contexts of public address. As an artist she uses text to explore how writing may initiate the staged display of a figure to be observed. She has recently shown work as part of the Artist Moving Image Festival at Tramway (Glasgow), Leeds Art Gallery and The Whitworth (Manchester).

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between mode of delivery and maternal complications, based on a retrospective cohort of all births at a public hospital in 2003. Complications included: infection, hemorrhage, hysterectomy, uterine rupture, lesions in adjacent organs, deep venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. The analysis used odds ratio (OR), chi-squared test, and Fisher's exact test, besides logistic regression. Fifteen complications were identified. Taking vaginal delivery as the reference, an association was found between cesarean section and overall complications. Analysis of confounding showed an association between hypertension, HIV, placenta previa, and abruptio placentae. After controlling for these variables, an association remained between overall complications and cesarean section (OR = 9.7; p = 0.04). Another analysis comparing elective cesareans and vaginal deliveries also showed an increased risk for cesarean (OR = 4.7; p = 0.02). Finally, comparing elective cesareans with trial of labor, we found an increased proportion of complications in elective cesareans, with borderline significance (OR = 3; p = 0.058). We concluded that cesarean section is associated with maternal morbidity, even after controlling for confounders.

“A vote of confidence.”
Are you someone who quietly sets out to reach her goals or are you someone who tells the world exactly what you’re up to, loud and clear?
Either way, it’s great. You’re focusing on a new life ahead. But if you tend toward being the quieter type, why not take some time today to tell at least one person how proud you are of yourself for making this commitment to reach a valued goal?
There’s got to be one person with whom you could share your journey. A coworker? A neighbor? A friend?
So, speak up! Tell someone about it. Make your effort even more real by hearing yourself talk about it out loud. It will solidify your commitment that much more, and could just be the vote of confidence you need!

Currently on view at Sean Kelly’s spacious Chelsea exhibition space, photographer Alec Soth is presenting a body of new works. Comprised of recent large-scale color portraits and images of interiors, the exhibition, “I Know How Furiously Your Heart Is Beating,” focuses on Soth’s depiction of the individual, posing questions about what these images reveal about both the sitter and photographer.
Alec Soth, Ute’s Book. Odessa, 2018 (2018) Via Art Observed
Celebrated as one of the most important American photographers working today, Soth’s work is known for his attentive and animated perspective on the modern landscape of the United States, producing iconic photographs concentrating on the people and landscapes of suburban and rural communities. Traveling through the heart of the country, the artist produces attentive and energetic depictions of his subjects, incorporating their personal interests and moments of pause or reflection to create contemplative mise-en-scene combining both philosophical and deeply emotive portraits of the world he moves through.
That mode of contemplation takes a far more expressive mode here, offering a departure from the artist’s more animated productions from past bodies of work. These images were produced after an extended hiatus during which the artist stopped traveling and photographing to reflect upon and reconsider his creative process. Unlike previous series, which offer a more documentary account of particular locations or individuals, Soth’s new body of work is far more personal, photographing individuals in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and Eastern Europe. All of the pictures are portraits of subjects taken in their own homes or interior spaces. Influenced by the openness of Peter Hujar’s photography, these sensitive images disclose a higher degree of subjectivity and intimacy than is typically found in Soth’s work.
Featuring a range of subjects hitherto unknown to the artist who were introduced to him through third parties, the sitters include artists, writers and choreographers, the majority of whom the artist met on his travels. These are simple images, relying on the artist’s sense of space, and the expressive characteristics of his sitters to open up new dialogues on the conception and construction of the photograph.
The artist’s work is on view through April 27th.

Profile of diabetic complications amongst diabetics attending internal medicine outpatient department and family medicine outpatient department in Dora Nginza Hospital, PE hospital complex
Thesis (MFamMed)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction: Diabetes is the most prevalent endocrinology problem encountered in primary care practice. If recent trends showing a dramatic increase in prevalence (believed to be a consequence of a decline in physical activity and excessive caloric intake) continue, then the condition will soon affect nearly 20 million people in the U.S a reflection of the global trend. Effective management requires care that is thoughtful and meticulous, incorporating intensive patient education. Euglycemic control, with the level of glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) kept below 7.0mmol/L, has emerged as a major treatment objective because of its association with a marked reduction in the risk for micro vascular complications. The primary physician is in the unique position to provide comprehensive care to the diabetic patient. Setting: The aim of this study is to evaluate the profile of complications arising due to diabetes mellitus among adult diabetics attending internal medicine outpatient department and family medicine/primary care outpatient department in the Dora Nginza hospital, PE hospital complex. Method: The study is a descriptive retrospective study in which names of patients were collated from clinic records of both clinics, files sought at the records department covering the period between Jan 2007 and Jan 2008 inclusive. Prevalence of statistical variables was generated using frequency tables, bar graphs, cross tabulations and chi square test. Results: Hyperglycemia was the major complication which predominantly was associated with high haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels. However, some hyperglycaemic cases were also found to be associated with normal HbA1c. Complications were found to be more in type 2 diabetics. Patients with hypertension, obesity, smoking and alcohol use were observed to have a higher risk of developing diabetic complications. The findings on retinopathy in this study was inconclusive in view of the fact that patients sent for fundoscopy did not return with documented results from the sister hospital PE provincial hospital. Family Medicine outpatient department overall did better in patient care compared to the Internal Medicine outpatient department. Conclusion: The challenge for the primary care physician is to design a therapeutic program that is safe practical and acceptable to the patient. The ultimate goal of therapy is the prevention of micro vascular and macro vascular complications, consequence of diabetes that makes the condition a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, stroke, visual impairment, renal failure, impotence, peripheral neuropathy, limb loss and ultimately death. These can be averted through appropriate education of both hospital staff, patients and their care givers. The recommendations made are based on the findings of the study.

Three games highlighted the SCRC schedule this weekend but the marquee game was between Kentucky and South Carolina. The Wildcats put the rest of the conference on notice with a 32-15 victory over the Gamecocks. It was the first loss that South Carolina has been dealt by a team other than Tennessee in several years.
The teams traded penalties to open the game but Kentucky scored two unconverted tries and another penalty to take a 20-3 lead going into the break. Despite having limited possession, the Wildcats made most of their opportunities and game plan.
“We know South Carolina’s game plan, they try to get it wide to the backs, do a lot of offloads. Our game plan was to try to press up real hard on defense the best we could and get them to make some sloppy passes,” said UK coach Gary Anderson.
South Carolina fought back in the second half with two tries to cut the lead to 20-15 but Kentucky weathered the storm. The Wildcats added two late tries to seal the 32-15 victory. It was a strong defensive effort from the Wildcats, who spent most of the game without the ball.
“We didn’t play much offense. I don’t think we had 10 go forward phases but I think we scored on four of them and had some penalty kicks. We didn’t get a lot of offense, South Carolina kept us on defense,” said Anderson. “When we did get the ball in space we were able to move it and put some scores in.”
It was a huge win for the program and puts Kentucky in prime position for a playoff spot. The Wildcats will take on Tennessee in several weeks, in a game that in all likelihood will decide the eastern division. It was the first time Kentucky has beaten South Carolina in at least six years.
“We are pretty happy with it. We have been working towards this for six years and we got all the pieces in place to pull it off. We are pretty excited about it,” Anderson said of the win.
The other two games on the docket saw Alabama move to 3-1 with a win over Ole Miss and Florida claim a 28-0 forfeit win over Auburn.

Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh.
Recently I was feeling a bit down. All the news has been sad and depressing and I needed to read a book that would be sure to make me laugh out loud (actual laughing—not LOLing) and make me forget all the other stuff in the world. I was given a number of recommendations from friends but the one that came up the most was Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh. With no idea what it was—so little of an idea that I looked for an audio version—I promptly put a hold on it at my local library, with no idea what I was even getting.
What I got was a unique blend of personal narrative and hilariously crude illustrations, all chronicling the formative moments of Allie Brosh’s life, from the opening story about finding a note written to future Allie from 10-year-old Allie to the story of her insanely stupid (but greatly loved) dog. Each story is complemented by a number of pictures done in Brosh’s telltale stick-figure style. The stories on their own are funny and interesting but the pictures push it to a whole new level of hilarity.
But not all the stories are flat-out funny. As one who has struggled with depression, she provides a startlingly honest look at her bouts with depression and her attempts to be understood and to deal with it. Even this is oddly funny, mostly due to her ability to see clearly where she is being unreasonable and holding, at times, hilariously unrealistic expectations.
I read this book in bed every night and couldn’t get enough. My son was super interested in it too, partly due to the fun pictures but probably mostly because I told him it was totally inappropriate for children, mostly because of language. We did let him read the story about cake. The cake story is okay for kids.
If you need some levity in your life without compromising on a smart read, read this book. Or, if you can’t wait, hit up her blog where it all began: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/

Shark-like BMW 850i is the epitome of old-school cool
With BMW working on a new 8-Series, Waldo Swiegers looks back at what made the 850i of the sexiest cruisers to come out of Bavaria in the early Nineties
Pop-up headlights are cool. The Cord 810 was first to feature them back in 1936, so it's not just an '80s car thing. It was all in the name of aesthetics. It had aerodynamic advantages, but in general cars with pop-ups are just cool! The BMW 8-Series (officially known as the E31) had pop-up headlights, and it is one of the coolest cars to come out of Bavaria, despite being a commercial flop.
The 8-Series was first shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1989. It was at this event that the original owner of the car we are sampling here fell in love with it. He promptly ordered this black 850i with a 5.0l V12 engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission. Germany only built 98 right-hand drive 850s with a clutch. South Africa's Rosslyn plant produced another four. This car was imported from Germany.
The owner's handbook states that the pre-delivery inspection was done on November 21 1991 by BMW South Africa. Just eight days later, the running-in inspection was done at Modern Autohaus Service Centre in then Pietersburg, now Polokwane, with 1,487km on the odometer.
It has spent its life north of the Limpopo. It has been kept in Harare since new. That is something, since the technology in these luxury coupes are often "dealer-only" items when it comes to fixing them. Harare doesn't have a dealership that can service it.It had all the bells and whistles. Dual climate control, electric seats, heated seats, electrically adjustable steering wheel and even an early stability control and traction control system. In the early '90s these things were state of the art.
It was also the first production car to feature an electronic drive-by-wire throttle system, with two throttles providing air to the aluminium V12. The throttle response is anything but brisk. There is a noticeable delay in pushing the accelerator and the engine responding. The engine produces 220kW and 450Nm, but thanks to long gearing and a close on two-ton kerb weight, it never feels like a sportscar that wants to crush your senses with acceleration forces and speed. The suspension wasn't sportscar-like either. It was the first BMW to feature a multi-link rear suspension setup.
The engine is buttery smooth - from the moment one turns the key and it breathes into life, all the way to the red line on the tachometer. It doesn't scream, but it hums with the open road. That is where this car makes the most sense. It's a Grand Tourer in every right. This car was bought by the current (and only second) owner in 1995 and it was used to get to Pretoria and Durban in the quickest, most comfortable manner. It eats up the road.On a trip to Durban in 2006 the fan didn't come on in traffic, the engine overheated and it blew the head gaskets. Besides that, nothing major has ever gone wrong with the car. It still has its original clutch. The car is maintained by a mechanic in Harare and has done close on 200,000km. Some electrical gremlins do pop up: these cars are prone to that. It has two big batteries in the boot to power all circuitry. The instrument cluster stopped working in 2011, and that is not the easiest thing to find a replacement for or to fix.
But the 850i is beautiful. The coupe lines are reinforced with the lack of a B-pillar between front and rear. The rear features big red lights and the front is shark-like.
It is rare to find these V12 beasts these days. The 850CSI is the ultimate incarnation of the 8-Series, and is more sought after, thus more expensive than the 850i, but it owes a lot to the original. The V12 engine in the 8-Series also served as the basis for McLaren F1's engine.
With BMW working on a new 8-Series, we can only hope that it embodies all the good, but none of the bad, of these '90s cruisers. Right now I feel like hitting the long road in the original 850i though.

#BackToSchool: Give kids a fresh start to the school day
When the kids return to school, it doesn’t mean the family have to resume all their old routines and habits.
Working parents will know it’s tough to get school-going children to sit down every morning and have a meal. The allure of sugary cereals and their cartoon character mascots doesn’t support parents in a healthy breakfast mission, either.
But, it’s a new school year and there is no better time to start a healthier morning routine than right now.
In fact, that is one of the first tips a friend was given when she decided to put in a bit more effort with her Grade 3 daughter before shuffling her off to school.
If you start a new routine you must have the stamina to maintain it, which means weekends are no exceptions.
Y ou can’t allow the kids to eat sugar-laden treats on a Saturday and Sunday morning and then expect their attitudes to change on weekday mornings.
Of course, trying to prepare breakfast the night before is an obvious piece of advice, but it’s also not practical.
Few working parents will be able to keep up a routine of filling yoghurt cups at 9pm after a tiring day at work. So keep things simple and as fresh and nutritious as possible.
Fruit is your friend in this regard and there are many ways to keep the new breakfast menus exciting and tasty.
This recipe from Checkers help serve some of that inspiration which will hopefully energise both parents and school kids to make the new breakfast menu a year-long success.
Breakfast Cups ( Serves 6).
6 slices white or wholewheat bread
1 tbs sunflower oil
250 g streaky bacon
6 large eggs
Salt and pepper
Heat the oven to 180 C.
Grease a muffin pan and set aside.
Grill the bacon until crispy and set aside.
Cut the crusts off the sliced bread and flatten each slice using a rolling pin.
Mould the flattened bread into the greased muffin pan and lightly brush with sunflower oil.
Place in the oven for 10 minutes, or until slightly crispy and golden brown.
Add two pieces of bacon to each crispy bread cup and crack an egg over the bacon.
Season with salt and pepper.
Place in the oven for 8–10 minutes for a soft egg, or 10–15 minutes if you prefer your eggs well done.
Allow to cool slightly before removing.
Note: For a vegetarian option, substitute bacon with cooked mushrooms, spinach or tomatoes.

10 public-interest groups have asked the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate Facebook's various business practices. This demand comes right after two similar ones this week: two US congressmen asked the FTC to investigate how Facebook's cookies behave, and Ireland's Data Protection Commissioner has agreed to conduct a privacy audit of Facebook. Given that the social network's international headquarters is in Dublin, the latter is the more serious one as the larger majority of the site's users could be affected.
The consortium of US consumer and privacy groups wants the FTC to look into allegations that Facebook tracks its users even after they log out of the social network, an issue the company says it has since fixed. They are also concerned about its "frictionless sharing" feature that is available on the newly launched Ticker and the upcoming Timeline and Open Graph rollout announced at f8 last week. Last but not least, the agency is being told to examine whether the new Ticker and Timeline features boost privacy risks for users by combining biographical information in an easily-accessible format.
If you want more information, one of the members of the group, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) is hosting the full 14-page letter (PDF) that was collaboratively written to the FTC. Alternatively, this excerpt from the introduction should give you the general gist:
Facebook's tracking of post-log-out Internet activity violates both the reasonable expectations of consumers and the company's own privacy statements. Although Facebook has partially fixed the problem caused by its tracking cookies, the company still places persistent identifiers on users' browsers that collect post-log-out data and could be used to identify users. "Frictionless sharing" plays a leading role in the changes Facebook announced at the recent f8 development conference, and works through the interaction of Facebook's Ticker, Timeline, and Open Graph. These changes in business practices give the company far greater ability to disclose the personal information of its users to its business partners than in the past. Options for users to preserve the privacy standards they have established have become confusing, impractical, and unfair.
The Electronic Privacy Information Center ("EPIC"), The American Civil Liberties Union, The American Library Association, Bill of Rights Defense Committee, The Center for Digital Democracy, The Center for Media and Democracy, Consumer Action, Consumer Watchdog, PrivacyActivism, and Privacy Times recommend that the Commission investigate whether the changes recently announced by Facebook are consistent with the policies and representations that were in place when consumers provided their personal information to Facebook or whether they constitute unfair and deceptive trade practices, in violation of consumer protection law in the United States.
This past weekend, self-proclaimed hacker Nik Cubrilovic accused Facebook of tracking its users even if they log out of the social network. He explained that even after logging out of the service, whenever he visited a website that had a Facebook plugin, information including his account ID was still being sent to Palo Alto.
The company responded by denying the claims and offering an explanation as to why its cookies behave the way they do. The company explained that it does not track users across the Web and its cookies are used to personalize content. As for the logged-out cookies, Facebook said they are used for safety and protection.
After a long technical discussion, Cubrilovic confirmed Facebook made changes to the logout process, and that the cookies in question now behave as they should. They still exist, but they no longer send back personally-identifiable information after you log out. The company also took the time to explain what each cookie is responsible for.
Cubrilovic offered the following conclusion to the whole fiasco:
Facebook has changed as much as they can change with the logout issue. They want to retain the ability to track browsers after logout for safety and spam purposes, and they want to be able to log page requests for performance reasons etc. I would still recommend that users clear cookies or use a separate browser, though. I believe Facebook when they describe what these cookies are used for, but that is not a reason to be complacent on privacy issues and to take initiative in remaining safe.
Facebook engineer Gregg Stefancik made this concluding statement in a comment on this blog:
I'm an engineer who works on these systems. I want to make it clear that there was no security or privacy breach. Facebook did not store or use any information it should not have. Like every site on the internet that personalizes content and tries to provide a secure experience for users, we place cookies on the computer of the user. Three of these cookies on some users' computers included unique identifiers when the user had logged out of Facebook. However, we did not store these identifiers for logged out users. Therefore, we could not have used this information for tracking or any other purpose. In addition, we fixed the cookies so that they won't include unique information in the future when people log out.
I have contacted Facebook for more information about this issue and will update this article if I hear back.
