Autism Spectrum Disorders: Tier 1 Biochemical Panel
Condition Description
Genetics of Autism Spectrum Disorders
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders which include autism, pervasive developmental delay-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), and Asperger syndrome. ASDs are characterized by impairments in social relationships, variable degrees of language and communication deficits, and repetitive behaviors and/or a narrow range of interests. The age of onset is prior to age 3 with a variable clinical presentation, ranging in severity both amongst individuals as well as amongst the various subtypes of ASDs. Additional clinical features may also be observed in individuals with an ASD, such as intellectual disability (up to ~50%) and seizures (~25%).
Known genetic causes of autism include cytogenetically visible chromosome abnormalities (3-5%), copy number variants – which include submicroscopic deletions and duplications (~6-7%), and single gene disorders (~5%).
EGL Genetics's integrated testing strategy allows for a comprehensive cytogenetic, metabolic, and molecular analysis of ASD in your patient. For a summary of autism testing at EGL, please click here.

This test is indicated for:
- Confirmation of a clinical diagnosis of autism or an autism spectrum disorder.
- Carrier testing in adults with a family history of autism or an autism spectrum disorder.
Urine Organic Acids: Qualitative and quantitative determination performed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.
Plasma amino acids: Quantitative ion exchange chromatography, reported as micromoles/L.
Smith-Lemli-Opitz Screen: Isotope dilution method by LC-MSMS
Urine Oligosaccharides: The traditional one-dimensional thin-layer chromatography method for urine oliogsaccharides analysis has limited specificity and sensitivity and provides no structural information that is often needed for diagnoses. This test provides a sensitive screening method for structural analysis of urinary oligosaccharides, glycan and glycoamino acids by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry using quadrupole - time of flight detection.
GAGS: Dimethylene Blue Binding Quantitation and Thin Layer Chromatography
Detection and Reference Range
Urine Organic Acids: Test results can be influenced by the age and eating status of the patient. A second test (amino acids analysis/acylcarnitine profile) is typically required to confirm a diagnosis.
Plasma Amino Acids: This test is very sensitive for specific amino acid disorders, but detection can be sensitive to the age and eating status of the patient
Lysosomal Storage Disease Screen: This test provides a comprehensive tool for initial screening of lysosomal strorage disorders. The combination of urine oligosaccharide/free glycan and urine quantitative and fractionation of GAG's increases the sensitivity and specificity of urinary screening for lysosomal storage disorders. Due to the extreme sensitivity of the MALDI-TOF/TOF method, the urine oligo/free glycan profiles can detect lysosomal dysfunctions due to the accumulation of charged storage material such as glycosaminoglycans. While the quantification and fractionation of glycosaminoglycans provides additional information that differentiates between the different types of mucopolysaccharidosis. Abnormal results should be confirmed by enzyme and molecular analysis.
Urine Organic Acids:Will be included in report
Plasma Amino Acids: Will be included in report
Smith-Lemli-Opitz Screen: Reporting will be normal or abnormal based on the value of 7-dehydrocholesterol
Lysosomal Storage Disease Screen: Interpretation of the urinary oligosaccharide and free glycan profiles is by pattern recognition.
Specimen Requirements
2-5 ml
Sample should be collected while fasting or 2-4 hours post prandial. Centrifuge to separate plasma and freeze.
15-30 ml
Freeze sample. Fasting or first void sample is preferable.

A NORTH East photographer is beating the extreme weather conditions after setting up a team of professionals she can call on from the Scottish Borders down to County Durham.
Angela Carrington set up The Bigger Picture to provide specialist PR and marketing images for clients and her photographs have appeared in the regional, national and international media.
Initially from Lancashire, Ms Carrington came to the region when she studied photography at Northumbria University 13 years ago, and she based her business in the Biscuit Factory art gallery in Newcastle.
To grow her brand she decided to use the agency concept, so she has experienced professionals available when required.
And she also invested in a four-wheel drive so she can get through the worst of the North East weather.
She said: "I did a job in rural Northumberland recently that was in two locations and the shoot was on a day when many roads were flooded.
"I was so pleased to have my Toyota truck as it not only got me to the shoot on time but I was also asked to ferry my clients there too.
"I realised quite early on that I can't be in two places at once but my brand and my photographic style could be.
"Now my clients don't need to worry if I am not personally available as they will have the confidence to know that anyone of my team can deliver the results needed to help with their PR or marketing needs. For my clients it will be like having their own in- house photographer but without the high costs."

Maternal Depression
Having a baby can be one of the biggest and happiest events in a woman's life. While life with a new baby can be exciting and rewarding, it can also be stressful at times. Many physical and emotional changes can happen during pregnancy and after having a baby. These changes can make pregnant women and new mothers feel sad, anxious, overwhelmed, or confused.
These feelings are very common. For many women, these feelings will go away quickly. When these feelings last for several weeks, or get worse over time, you may need professional help.
Maternal depression can happen during pregnancy ("prenatal depression") or after the baby is born ("postpartum depression"). With treatment, maternal depression is a temporary mental health problem – it is not the same as depression.
The "baby blues"
Many women may have minor symptoms of depression during the first two weeks after delivery. These "baby blues" affect up to 4 out of 5 new moms. Symptoms can include:
- Tiredness and exhaustion, even after getting sleep
- Feeling overwhelmed or anxious
- Frustration or irritability
- Sadness or crying
- Mood swings – going from happy to sad for no apparent reason
- Difficulty concentrating
The baby blues usually go away in a couple of weeks without treatment. Talking with friends, family, other mothers, or your health care provider can help.
Six Things to Know about Maternal Depression
One. Maternal depression is quite common.
- Up to 1 in 7 new moms has some sort of pregnancy-related mood or anxiety disorder.
- Maternal depression can affect any pregnant woman or new mom, regardless of age, income, race, ethnicity or education.
Two. There are many possible symptoms.
Symptoms vary from person to person, and how strong they are. Some symptoms include:
- Feeling sad
- Feeling overwhelmed or anxious
- Feeling guilty or inadequate
- Mood swings – highs and lows
- Not enjoying things that used to be enjoyable
- Changes in sleeping and eating habits
- Excessive worrying about the baby
- Hallucinations – seeing or hearing things that aren't there
- Thoughts of harming self or the baby
More intense feelings, like hallucinations, thoughts of harming yourself or the baby, or suicide, are signs of a serious emergency. If you or a loved one have these thoughts, call 911.
Three. Symptoms can appear any time during pregnancy and up to a year after delivery.
- Prenatal depression happens during pregnancy.
- The "baby blues" typically happen shortly after delivery, and can last up to a couple of weeks.
- Postpartum depression happens after delivery. It can last several weeks. Without treatment, postpartum depression can get worse over time.
Four. Maternal depression is not your fault.
- Maternal depression is common and treatable.
- Your medical history and how your body reacts to stress or hormones can cause maternal depression.
- Friends, family, and co-workers can provide support for you and your baby and help you through maternal depression.
Five. Getting treatment sooner is better.
- Your physical and emotional health affect your baby's health and development.
- Treatment options include therapy (talking with a trained professional) and various medicines (including medicine that is safe during pregnancy or while breastfeeding).
- In addition to therapy and medicine, some women find that support groups, meditation, physical activity, and healthy eating can help them cope with stress and reduce symptoms of maternal depression.
Six. Help is available.
- If you have thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, or if you are hallucinating, this is a medical emergency. Call 9-1-1.
- Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
- Start by talking with your health care provider or OB/GYN. They can connect you with trained professionals to help get you through what you are feeling.

The Differences Between POP and IMAP
An IMAP client synchronizes the e-mail on your computer with the contents of your account on the e-mail server, while a POP account simply downloads the inbox.
IMAP copies messages from the server instead of deleting them; when you use IMAP, an e-mail message is only removed from the e-mail server when you choose to delete it. Instead of moving messages from the server to your computer, IMAP synchronizes your computer with the e-mail server. With a POP account, if you download a message and move it to another folder within your Mail Client, it is still in your webmail, marked as unread.
If you were to check your e-mail from three different computers via IMAP, all three of those computers, and the e-mail server, would contain all of your e-mail. If you chose to delete a message from computer A, it would also be removed from computer B, computer C, and the e-mail server.
Common questions when using IMAP:
Why are there lines through my emails when I move an email to a folder or delete it?
When using IMAP deleting or moving an email to another folder puts the message in queue to be deleted or moved. Therefore it places a line through the email so you know that something has been done with that particular email. Typically this requires you to purge or expunge these emails in order to completely delete them. This is similar to emptying the recycling bin. Consult your software's help documentation for further assistance.

AceShowbiz - T.I., wife Tiny a.k.a. Tameka Cottle and others were bidding farewells to the rapper's older sister Precious Harris, who died after a car crash, at her funeral. However, instead of holding it like any other funeral, T.I. and his family opted to do it in an extraordinary way.
They appeared to choose to remember Precious by throwing a homegoing that looked like a big birthday party. Featuring lavish decorations, it offered attendees fancy food, drinks as well as music to dance to.
Instead of black, many of the attendees arrived in red as they paid tribute to Precious. Tiny herself was also seen going wild and dancing with T.I. at the funeral. "Wow amazing your a great brother she would be so happy, but she is in heaven smiling down," a fan commented on the video. "I hope you all will air her celebration. She has fans too. We love her like we love you all Again, we are so sorry for your loss, and we'll miss seeing here on family hustle. She got her wings," another comment read.
One other, meanwhile, wrote, "Thank u for sharing Precious home going Service we are going to miss her smile and sweet personality on TV May God continues to watch over the family A Angel just enter the gates of heaven."
Additionally, she posted a video featuring more insights into the funeral which she posted alongside a lengthy, loving message for her sister-in-law. "I didn't play about you when u were living sis & we didn't play with u taking u out of here," she wrote in the caption. "U went up the strong way @preciousharris1913 u would of been like Whuuuutt!! I'm a superstar! Your home going just showed how special of an individual u are!! U woulda been proud."
She went on saying, "Your brother did an amazing speech about u, your son too! @kamayadaplug Stepped up & made sure u everything u was suppose to have. I sang for you.. all your @officialxscape girls did! @keke_wyatt tore the house downnnnn!! @tiffanybleu opening it up, sing Missing You.. the perfect song for your celebration!! Shine on sis!! & throw some of that shine down on me!! Till we meet again...R.I.H."
Additionally, Tiny shared a video of her and T.I.'s son King taking the stage to perform. "Yes King. better then most rappers today. Get it from pops," one fan gushed over his stage. Echoing the sentiment, another fan added, "He's pretty good, and knows his verses well. No paper, no phone rapping all on his own."

2016 was A Tire Fire.
2016 was The Worst.
2016 was Literally Hitler.
2016 was a bad-ass mother who don't take no crap off of nobody!
2016 was a lot of things to a lot of people. A lot of awful things did happen in 2016. Big political asteroids like Brexit and Trump left a crater in everything many of us believed possible. Our faith in others was shattered and the "Us vs Them" mentality crevasse widened to a gorge. A lot of people died. From the horrific deaths of Syrian refugees to the brutal violence committed on the black population of North America, 2016 was a pedestal for atrocities perpetrated through power imbalances. So many dead beloved celebrities. People who gave us hope and inspiration passing away in rapid-fire succession. So much grief, processing, acceptance.
2016 was also the opposite of doom and gloom in many ways. New discoveries, environmental reclamation, aid for those suffering. While there were infinite instances of sexism, racism and gender based conflicts both online and throughout society, isn't it amazing that this discourse is finally making it to the mainstream? Five years ago did the vast majority of society even know of non-gender binary as a concept? Had "rape culture" joined our vocabulary? I'm not saying that we're past any of this stuff. There's a long road between awareness and acceptance. Many of the conversations we're having now won't pay off for years yet. Still, at least we're having them. That's gotta be worth something.
I wonder how much of 2016's "worst-ness" was defined by social media. It feels uncommon to witness this much suffering in one rotation of the sun, but then again have we ever been this interconnected? The concept of online life as an echo chamber is not new. The notion of negative news drawing more attention than the alternative certainly isn't either. Still, something's gotta be up when we only hear that "world hunger reached its lowest point in 25 years" in an article basically telling us 'not to jump'. In times of crisis, social media has become emotionally draining. It's one thing to wallow in a puddle of grief, it's quite another when you dive into an ocean of pooled tears. Fear, anxiety and sorrow amplified by a deafening chorus of voices. While it should be comforting that people share your views, it often instead doubles down on them, adding an inescapable weight. It's hard to find hope when you're surrounded by dense darkness. This isn't to negate or downplay the seriousness and validity of people's emotions at all. I have my doubts (shameless plug) over how much it helps.
For me, 2016 like most years had its ups and downs. Work was a low point. Still stuck in a job that feels menial and draining, things have only gotten worse. The defining factors of a job I could phone in (namely amazing benefits, supportive work culture, excellent location and a quick commute) have all taken a nosedive. No part of my job in 2016 has improved and everything has declined. Fingers crossed I get a new position in the new year. On the flip side of that, things with my girlfriend have been flowing along nicely. She moved in nine months ago and we haven't looked back. Tomorrow we're getting on a plane to travel half way across the world. She'll meet my family, friends and see the country in which I was born. While my job has been a bust creatively, I finally took a leap I'd spent years pining for. As anyone who's read at least one other entry this year will know, I started a podcast. A Pawdcast to be more exact. It's been a learning curve, a lot of work and at times, trying. It's also put me back in touch with my audio editing roots and made me approach the format from a number of different angles. It's been my biggest accomplishment this year by a large margin and a journey I'm proud to have embarked upon.
If it's any consolation, 2017 is bound to be far worse than 2016. The world may have voted in Brexit and Trump, but we haven't begun to see what they can do when they're actually in power. 2016 was the beginning of a dark trilogy. We've merely finished the First Act. Expect 2017 to drive us to the edge of extinction, with salvation coming in the dying hours of 2018. I don't make the rules, just calls 'em like I sees 'em.
Optimistically Yours.

|My Painting on Inner pain or Struggle ..
Teacher is a definition of culture design. A teacher is a real builder of a strong conceptual social structure of human life . in our Indian history teacher was up to god . here I am remembering a very old poem it is on right teacher . it is in Hindi ( Guru Govind Dono Khade kake lagu panv , balhari guru aap ne jo govind diyo milaay ) it mean a student is saying to his teacher , teacher and god is still in front side of myself and whose to I give first respect by touch to his feet? But thanks to my teacher because he give me a way of real meeting to god by his guide line . I mean a student is always giving respect to his or her true teacher in our world . it is natural because a teacher is giving real life way for time design to his or her students .
But in my education time I were saw some wrong teachers or I were faced some negative role from my teachers . I know some time right teacher take negative action for positive result from student but some teacher live always negative because they have forget his real duty and image .
It was my real painful time in art collage , I were in master education a very senior student of my art collage . I were not participated in any tour of my art collage but in master education I were joined to our education tour as a art student . kind your information our art collage have plan for study tour . so one day my two junior came near myself and they were requested for join to our one day education tour . I said I will join to you but in my art history I have not participated in any education tour you can see our art collage tour record.
I though for that tour that was time design for my painful time . On tour day in morning time I were went to art collage from my rental room after taken only one cup tea . in a one bus I got sit that was specially for senior students so I were in that bus . our new principal was wanted sit with us in bus of senior students but one Teacher MR. Narendra Yadav ( tour comity member of art collage ) said to him no sir we have fixed your sit in next bus . Our Principal was Mamtma Ghandhi concept Follower so he was went in other bus like a simple child . but when mr. yadav stop to our principal , in that time he was said to our Principal sir our boys are very naughty they all will kidding in this bus so you sit in other bus , our principal was reply to Mr. yadav , he said no problem I will get kid condition in myself and I will enjoy to students kidding condition for fun. But mr. yadav was not permitted to him And I were noticing emotion of my principal , he was very new and a very silent person so he went in other bus. When he was going for other bus in that movement Mr. yadav said in joke style , he said to other teachers I have send to junior in juniors bus hahaha.. that was a live joke on my new principal of Art collage .
After some time our collage bus's were started and running on the high way . in that journey some junior girls were started pass- pass game by a cloth .i were not participated in that game because I were busy in visit of outside landscape from our bus. When game was started then noise was naturally started that was noise of fun mood of students but nothing was wrong in that movement. After few minutes Mr. yadav got angry on students that was killing motion of fun mood of art students . I were felt wrong because all students were got silent after words of Mr. yadav .
I were demanded that same cloth from my junior hands, he gave me and I were said I am going to play who will play with me . I were called to my graphic studio teacher late Mr. Vijay Joshi and through that cloth on him but there time was changed the angle of that cloth by air and I saw that cloth was on mr. yadav .again all were in silent mode. Mr. yadav was Stand up to his sit and move back or asked to all who through it on me , all were in fear , I were up my hand and said very confidently I have through it but not on you it was came on you by air.
He was listened my words and got lots of angry . he came near myself and caught my neck and told me very ruf word " HARAMJADA " Idiot . I will beat you . I said why you will beat me we are playing by cloth , this cloth came on you by mistake , may be in your view we all are wrong so I am accepting my mistake . after acceptance why you will beat me , and why you saying ruf word, you are teacher sir teacher. But he was not listened my words and he was not leaved my neck . I were requested to him leave my neck I don't want to take a negative step against you because you are teacher. I am respecting of yours but he was not ..ha ha
In that movement late Teacher Mr. Vijay Joshi came for control to our angry condition . he was very friendly teacher of our art collage. So I were got cool mood but I said to Teacher Joshi ji, sir when he can say to me HARAMJADA then I can go on his Family ,over all joshi ji controlled to that hot conversation of us.
After some time our bus was stop on our tour spot. There tour comity was gave some brake fast to all students but I were not taken that . ha , how to I can take after listen that very hard word.
All day I were live upset and some junior students too. In that case my other teachers asked to me about that conversation then I were reply to them sir I can give my DNA report to him but can he give to me ?
When our toue was got completed we all were came near our bus's I were sited on the road and wrote in Hindi by white stone HARAM all were reading that after some time I were added a vowel sound AE then that was converted in HERAM ..!
In mid way of bus stop , I were walking and I saw Mr. yadav and My Principal were walking both so I went near them . I were said pranam to my Principal , and got permission for ask a question . he said ok ask, then I were asked to him sir tell me when a student accept his mistake in front of his teacher after acceptance of his mistake, teacher is catch his neck and say to him HARAMJAADA IDIOT . so my sir tell me who is wrong ? my principal said teacher is wrong student is not . in same time I said mr. yadav done it with me in mid way of this tour journey in bus. Students were playing pass pass game through cloth by luck that cloth went on mr. yadav and he got angry . in that movement he could not converted his self like a kid in mid of kids .
My principal said to Mr. yadav , Mr. yadav ji you said Sorry to yogendra just now . Mr . Yadav said Sorry to me, I said ok but my eyes was wet , I were hurt very much from his one words .
My some juniors served me food in that tour I were not taken food of our art collage comity .ha
After that tour one day I were busy in my class room mr. yadav and late mr. Vijay Joshi was came in class room and again said to me sorry for that tour mistake , I said sir I were gave sorry to you on same day when you were demanded to me sorry in front side of our principal .i have forgot that and I don't want to remember that painful seen again ..( but today that seen again came in my vision so here I am sharing with you . )
In holidays I were came at home but inside a one word was vibrating to my soul and vision for a critical answer to mr. yadav by artistic way. So I were started research and done a documentation of family tree by format of family tree .
I were worked on my family history , you can say it was my real art work for a critical dialogue . in 15 to 30 days I were got complete history of my family tree with name of my late family fathers . I were converted that research in a book format with some message for happy family . I were registered in that family tree book, our seven generation of family, past to present . I were counted we all are 1000 something today . with one title MADKOTDI PUROHIT PARIWAR .
I were created 30 copies of that book for my family or one for mr yadav. After completed that family tree book work I were went to My collage . there I were submitted a copy of my family tree book in hand of Mr. yadav and said this book is gift to you from my Grandfather Mr. Bulaki Das Ji Purohit . he want to come for meet to you and he want to give this book gift to you from his hand but I were stop to him because he is very old . I were stop to him. Sir ..
When mr. yadav listen my words and then saw to our family tree book he was speech less . I were noticed his face expression .here I have no words for his face expressions of that movement ..
I were gave a right answer to him for future and I sure after me he was not told that very ruf word HARAMJADA IDIOT to any art students of my art collage . I were done that art work because a teacher said to me idiot …..

Is HBO Go, HBO Now Down or Not Working? Streaming Platforms Crash Ahead of 'Game of Thrones' Season 8 Premiere
Game of Thrones fans were caught off guard when HBO's live streaming platforms, HBO Go and HBO Now, appeared to be down ahead of the Season 8 premiere. The outage proved winter is really here, bringing frozen televisions instead of snow.
According to Down Detector, an outage website, HBO Go was behaving correctly earlier on Sunday, hours ahead of the series premiere. However, as the 9 p.m. airdate aproached, reports of user issues began to increase. Most users reported problems logging in to the HBO Go website, followed by apps and Smart TV apps.
The Game of Thrones premiere was wildly hyped, as fans of the series last saw a new episode in 2017. Not only was the premiere episode anticipated, but the season as a whole, being the last of its kind, was promised by actors to be spectacular in only six episodes.
Kit Harrington, who plays Jon Snow on the series, spoke of the television show's ability to bring streaming into a new era. "These six episodes are going to change the way you look at TV," he told Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest on Live With Kelly and Ryan Tuesday. "I think they're gonna be sensational. They're huge. The one thing I feel right now is we put everything we could into this. We're just proud."
Fans have a handful of theories for how the series could end. Not many are presented without devastating character deaths and giant battles. Some theories claim previously killed characters may be revived, either in the army of the dead as white walkers, or in a sense that they have not been dead the whole time.
Other theories focus on individual characters, like Bran Stark and his ability to see the future and visit the past, or in relationships like that of Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow, who is a Targaryen after all.
Conversations on Twitter Sunday morning questioned how fans could stream Game of Thrones live. The only ways to stream the show live are through a cable subscription on live television or on HBO Go or HBO Now. The premiere episode can also be watched live on Hulu with an added HBO subscription. Otherwise, viewers will be forced to wait until Monday to stream the episode either On Demand, on Hulu. They can also replay the episode on HBO's streaming platforms.
Past series premieres have caused the HBO Go and HBO Now apps to crash, including the premiere of True Detective Season 3 in January.

People are human.
I know that seems a bit redundant, but let me explain from the context of relationships. I know you are probably flawless, but most humans have the capacity to be sad, angry, scared, liars, too honest…even the most prayerful and perfect people fall short.
When we are in love we tend to expect our partner to embody our vision of perfection every moment of every day.
When they fall a little short, we "try" to live with their flaws.
In the biblical definition of love, patience is the first requirement. Before you express your love for someone, it's important have an understanding of the human parts of them.
Like you, the one you love is well aware of their shortcomings. If they are, like most humans, they are probably trying to work on their shortcomings, like we all are.
When faced with the shortcomings of the one you love, consider handling challenges gently, with love in the way you might want to be treated if you fall short one day.
Love is patient! or at least it should make an effort to be.

Most of the patients stuck in a hospital have no idea of what the numbers around them mean. Therefore, we wanted to create a system that would allow the patients access to simple and comprehensible information about their health status.
The interface was built to give them access to many other small things like a list of medicine they are prescribed for their next meal, an option to be able to request a customized meal from a list of given options, be shown heir discharge date if it has been decided, as well as have access to a list of visitors that came by when the patient was resting. The interface also has a call for help button which in theory is to alert the administration of the hospital that the patient is in need o help. This would remove the requirement of someone watching over the patient at all times and could allow them a little more privacy.
Another part of the module is for the administrators to be able to edit the options available to the patient, as well as access information such as meal choices submitted by them.
Challenges faced
The biggest challenge for us was to get the project done within time as we had come up with the idea late. It was also a fair amount of challenge to make a program with databases that needed to be accessed from different perspectives and used for specific purposes in each.
Scope of the project
We feel that this is an idea that can be implemented in major hospitals for building a better relationship with their patients using choice based meals, transparency about medicines etc. Patients should also be able to have one private time as they do not need someone to be watching them all the time as a "call for help" button is implemented in the system. The interface could definitely be improved if done in a different language and could be a lot more appealing and more options like basic information about the medicines, and other systems connected to the patient can be added.

What is physics?
Physics is the science that describes the behavior of the physical world. It is the most basic of all sciences and as such is responsible for the interpretation of fundamental physical processes which support many other scientific disciplines. Advances in technology are providing above-average job growth in areas that require strong proficiency in science and mathematics, making the choice of a degree in physics and astronomy a wise one.

Baked Stuffed Zucchini
Savory cremini and nutty porcini mushrooms, along with cheese, soft bread crumbs and herbs, fill zucchini to make a hearty dish for a meatless Monday.
Place mushrooms in a medium bowl. Pour 2 cups boiling water over mushrooms; let stand for 15 minutes. Drain, discarding water. Coarsely chop soaked mushrooms; set aside.Advertisement
Preheat oven to 350°F. Meanwhile, in a medium skillet cook bread crumbs in 3 tablespoons of the hot butter about 3 minutes or just until beginning to turn golden brown. Stir in one clove of the minced garlic; cook and stir about 1 minute more or until garlic is fragrant. Remove from heat; stir in parsley. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper; set aside.
Trim ends of three of the zucchini; cut each of these zucchini in half lengthwise. Using a melon baller or a small measuring spoon, scoop out and reserve pulp, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells. Coarsely chop pulp and the one remaining zucchini; set aside.
For sauce, in a small saucepan melt 4 tablespoons of the remaining butter over medium heat. Stir in flour. Stir in milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Reduce heat to low. Stir in Parmesan cheese and 1/4 teaspoon of the remaining salt. Set aside.
For filling, in medium skillet melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add the chopped zucchini, chopped soaked mushrooms, fresh mushrooms, and onion; cook about 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Stir in thyme, the remaining two cloves garlic, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook and stir for 30 seconds. Remove from heat. Stir in 2/3 cup of the bread crumb mixture.
Spread sauce in a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Place filled zucchini shells on top of the sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining bread crumb mixture. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover. Bake about 10 minutes more or until sauce is bubbling and zucchini are tender when pierced with the tip of a small knife. Serve hot or warm.

8x8 Claims Top Spot in UCaaS Scorecard for Third Consecutive Year, IHS Says
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (May 10, 2016) – IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), the leading global source of critical information and insight, today released excerpts from its 2016 UC as a Service (UCaaS) Scorecard: North America, which identifies the Unified Communication (UC) service providers currently leading the UCaaS market and those best positioned to succeed long term. The ratings are based on criteria such as installed base of seats, financial stability, market strategy, service capabilities and support options.
The UCaaS market in North America is marked by a large and dynamic provider landscape. Mergers and acquisitions continue as providers look to gain scale, new capabilities and long-term survivability. The top providers have been fairly consistent over the past few years, but compared to the prior year's UCaaS Scorecard, there has been some shifting in the rankings.
For 2016, the top 10 North America UCaaS leaders are 8x8, Vonage, West, RingCentral, Mitel, Verizon, Star2Star, Broadview Networks, Fuze and Nextiva.
"8x8 is the leader in the UC-as-a-Service market for the third year in a row," said Diane Myers, senior research director for VoIP, UC and IMS at IHS Technology. "8x8 maintains its leadership due to its large installed base of UCaaS seats, financial position and continued execution on its market strategy. 8x8 has consistently been near the top of our Scorecard and is a long-standing stalwart of the hosted PBX and unified communications market, with a strong position with small businesses and up-market growth."
Vonage and West follow 8x8 in the rankings, with Vonage edging out West to take second place in this year's Scorecard.
"Vonage jumped to second place by accelerating its customer base through yet more acquisitions in 2015—namely Simple Signal and iCore Networks," Myers said. "Vonage has been vocal in its plans to pursue acquisitions and has spent the past year integrating the acquisitions and getting all the companies working as one through a common provisioning system and sales and marketing channels."
RingCentral, holder of the largest UCaaS installed base, came in just below West to claim fourth place. Said Myers, "RingCentral's been the most innovative provider on the product front, integrating with team collaboration software Glip and keeping its delivery and pricing models clean and simple."
Notably, privately held UCaaS service provider Nextiva made its first showing on the Scorecard, making the top 10 thanks to its installed base of seats. Landing just outside the top 10 were Comcast, ShoreTel, Cox, CoreDial and Windstream.

Penn and Teller
Bill and I just had to see Penn and Teller at the National Arts Centre. We brought Joel and some friends as well, and some Bill and Joel drama occurred, which I think I defused by poo-pooing it firmly. It was quirky, funny, bewildering and cool. Penn did more preachy talking than I thought, as a fanatical materialist. After the show, we were amazed to see Penn and Teller were standing outside in the hall signing autographs. We waited for some time. I was surprised that Teller (the little one) was a few inches taller than my 5'8". He talked, too. Penn is really staggeringly tall at 6'6". I wanted to have something perfect to say to him, but could only say "It's a good thing you aren't a preacher!" despite time to plan something good.

of our customers rated this property good or excellent.
the hotel was spotless, the rooms are modern and felt the space was good for 3 adults sharing. food was just as usual for an all inclusive hotel - repetitive and same food all week burgers, chicken and chips. would recommend this hotel to families as this is who the hotel is aimed at with day time / evening activities staff brilliant at keeping the kids busy. would not recommend for adults / couples / groups (unless families) brilliant location near the beach and shops / bars nearby
We have used this hotel several times before, but the hotel is now in dire need of refresh, it's tired looking and somewhat dirty. This hotel is 3* however I would struggle to give 2*.
Very good location and very clean hotel. First time at turkey and loved it, will be back :-)
Fantastic location. Hotel dated but kept very clean. Staff friendly. Food good. Would go back to golmar. Very disappointed with gym as it had very little equipment not enough to call it a gym.
I believe we were in the employers part they gave us a tiny twin room with a make shift shower and dirty old carpets which I was allergic to and suffered swollen eyes. the food for the first 7 days was worse than slops with no choice and I was submitted to having to walk over dirty laundry filling the landing several times to get to my room . The cleaners lived next doors to us and I would put this a 1 star. I will be putting in a formal complaint as I visited other hotels at the same cost and the comparison was immense .
For 4 or more rooms please call our Groups Team on 0800 408 4037.

Topic Page: Morpheus (Greek deity)
In Greek and Roman mythology, Morpheus was originally the guardian of dreams. A son of Hypnos (Sleep) and Pasithea, the oldest of the Graces, he was generally depicted as a rotund, sleeping child with wings. It was only much later that poets began to identify him as the god of sleep.
The name Morpheus is derived from the Greek word morphe, meaning "shape." Morpheus and his brothers were said to have been the originators of the shapes and figures that appear in dreams. Morpheus could take on the form and behavior of any human; one of his brothers, Phobetor, could assume that of any other creature; and another, Phantasos, that of any object. They lived in dark, cavernous places near the entrance to the underworld, the land of their uncle Thanatos (Death), the brother of Hypnos.
The earliest existing reference to Morpheus occurs in Metamorphoses by Ovid (43 BCE–17 CE). The poet tells the story of how Ceyx and Halcyone, the king and queen of Trachis (an ancient city in Thessaly, central Greece), were so happy that they referred to themselves as Zeus and Hera, the supreme king and queen of the gods. For this act of pride they were punished terribly. Ceyx was washed away in a storm at sea, and Hera ordered Hypnos to convey the bad news to Halcyone. The god of sleep sent his son, Morpheus, into the queen's dreams, where he assumed the form of the drowned Ceyx and announced his own death. Halcyone, overcome with grief, committed suicide by jumping off a cliff into the sea. Finally the gods took pity and turned Ceyx and Halcyone into kingfishers, or halcyons, and calmed the winds during their breeding season. This is the origin of the phrase halcyon days, meaning a period of peace and tranquillity.
Although Morpheus himself does not appear until the work of Ovid, the idea that dreams contained important messages from the gods was a common feature in Greek literature from centuries earlier. There, deities might appear in the form of individual humans in order to warn, threaten, or impart information to the dreamer. The information thus conveyed may have been literally true or it may have been cryptically deceptive. Either way, the mind of the dreamer was being infiltrated by a god who meant to influence the course of events in the world of mortals. Thus in the Odyssey by Homer, Greek epic poet of the ninth or eighth century BCE, the goddess Athena appears to Phaeacian princess Nausicaa in a dream in the guise of one of Nausicaa's friends. Athena's intention was to stir the princess to action so that she would meet the shipwrecked Odysseus in an apparently chance encounter and give him the help he needed to set out on his final journey home. By contrast, in the same author's Iliad, Zeus sends a deceptive dream to Agamemnon, leader of the Greek army besieging Troy, to mislead him into taking the wrong course of action.
Dreams also featured prominently in certain ancient Greek religious practices. There were numerous oracles whose responses to questions were transmitted through dreams, and at many healing centers patients seeking cures slept out in the holiest areas of the sanctuaries in the hope of dreaming about their treatment and recovery.
Interpreting dreams has been practiced for millennia. Ancient Egyptians and Babylonians, who recorded dreams and their interpretations, believed dreaming was a method of communication with the gods; prophetic dreams are alluded to in many west Asian texts, notably the Bible. Most ancient Greeks believed that dreams served a predictive function, but Greek philosopher Aristotle (384–322 BCE) perceived dreams to be more expressive of the dreamer's senses and emotions than future events.
Morpheus rarely appeared in the art of antiquity and the Middle Ages. However, the god became more prominent in western Europe after the Renaissance. He is alluded to in the poem "Il Penseroso" by English author John Milton (1608–1674) and in various songs by English composers Henry Purcell (c. 1659–1695) and Georg Friedrich Handel (1685–1759). Morpheus became even more popular with the Romantic movement of the 19th century, and his name was often invoked as a figure representing the whole world of sleep and unconsciousness as well as dreams. Association of the name Morpheus with an entity that exercises powerful control over the human mind, especially in a narcotic state, led Friedrich W. A. Sertürner (1783–1841), the German pharmacist who first extracted the juice of the poppy seed in 1805, to name his pain-relieving product "morphine."

Characteristics of olive harvester
Distance between heads
Minimum Friction
All leafs, branches and olives vibrate strongly between the two heads of the sea urchin, thus giving high productivity without damage to the fruit or the tree. This is due to the ideal distance between the two heads of the harvester.
The set of 24 stick on both heads of the urchin is evenly distributed. This avoids the tangle of the branches around them and simultaneously minimizes the vibration transfered from the heads to the tissue, making it effortless to use the stick.
The distance between the tissue and each head is the minimum in order not to engage the branches and leafs with all the unpleasant consequences of this.
The distance between the vibrating head and drive end of the piece is so small so that the leaves can not penetrate and cause problems in the operation of the Harvester
Ensuring minimum friction between the moving parts of the harvester we created a harvester that offers:
Less vibration Less noise Fuel saving
The metal gears of the head ensure the product longevity without problems.
The carbon fiber rod material combines the minimum weight and the rigidity even in the height of 3.2 meters. As an economical solution we propose aluminium as rod material with the maximum height of 2,8m.
The end of the cable connecting to the controller is enhanced with a curling cover from special plastic material to prevent the free oscillation of the cable, protecting it from the easy break.
Around the surface of the controller small holes can be found, which ensure the necessary input and output of air to cool the electric motor.
The controller surrounds the specifically designed for this application electric motor. Thereby we reinforced it and simultaneously minimized its weight.

About Us
Our founder, Dr. Shawn Kari, DVM, has over 30 years of veterinary ultrasound and over 5 years of generalized veterinary practice experience.
Dr. Kari has been practicing veterinary medicine in southern California since his graduation from Colorado State University in 1989 where he received both his Bachelor of Science in Biology and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degrees. In 1997 he founded VetImage, Inc., a mobile veterinary ultrasound business that currently services 300 hospitals in the southern california area.
For many years, Dr. Kari has also provided individual ultrasound training for veterinarians and installations of ultrasound machines nationwide and in Canada. He has instructed Basic Ultrasound, Advanced Doppler Echocardiography and Advanced Soft Tissue short courses for Sound Technologies in Carlsbad, CA and Arlington TX. Dr. Kari has served as a Problem Based Learning Facilitator for Western University of the Health Sciences School of Veterinary Medicine located in Pomona, CA and is one the Veterinary preceptors accepting fourth year veterinary students for their 30 day externship rotations for Western University. Currently, VetImage, Inc. strives to help your veterinarian provide next step advanced diagnostics for your pet.
Ultrasound gets images similar to those obtained via CT scan. The only real clinical differences between ultrasound and CT scans are patients are moving with ultrasound because they are not anesthetized and artifacts occasionally get in the way with ultrasound, limiting results. Ultrasound is much cheaper and less invasive than CT scans though. For the most part, ultrasound is like doing surgery without a knife or cutting and often gets answers or tells what to do next in order to obtain definitive answers.

If you have been on Malaysian road as often as I do, this would sound familiar…..The continuous flashing of the car lights?. This irate driver accelerated as he approached the tollbooth behind me while I like every conscientious driver was doing just the opposite –slowing down. What is it with these guys? If they are not flashing their lights, they are flashing their…."little brother". We ladies flashed if we have nice things to show off. Like we flashed our 24k diamonds on our little middle finger, our super ACURA RSX 2006 on the road, our36-24-36 statitics.
They do the same at traffic lights. You could be following a driver who drives like he owns the whole road or behaving as though he's on a sight seeing tour of our beautiful highways. I could walk faster than he drives. See!See! as soon as he spot a traffic light turning yellow, swoosh…. he changes from a saint to a hell-rider to beat the red light.
If you are forced to choose between life and death, that required immediate action. But definitely not this lorry driver. He makes a snap decision to change lane, cutting in front of me without warning, forcing me to apply my emergency break. Why? Just because of a pretty face in the tollbooth. As he rolled down the glass window and poke out his head, he is all nice and smiley putting on his gentleman manners exchanging pleasantries as though he just found his long lost girlfriend! Hey, this is no place to make a date.
One weekend while returning to Klang from Seremban , this tanker driver drove thro' a no-entry lane for payment and got stuck between two toll-booths. Fortunately the tollbooth operator escaped in the nick of time before one of the booth came toppling down. So we got stuck in a long jam while highway operators ran helter skelter searching for fire extinguishers in the event fire break out.

Singer Adekunle Gold has just opened up on his relationship with Singer Simi during a listening session of his recently released About 30 album, he revealed that their relationship is just on the music business and nothing more.
The two singers, Adekunle Gold and Simi are known to share a strong chemistry that has produced powerful emotion-filled music but it is unsure whether their chemistry also exists in the form of romance and they both have not help matters by refusing to confirm it, leaving speculations to swell on the topic.
However, Adekunle Gold was willing to share stories about their music relationship. He took a moment to appreciate the Joromi singer for her support in his music career, especially because she mixes his music and help him the area of song composition.
He even said that he learnt song writing from Simi and that he seeks her validation before putting out his material. The hype on Simi was that much and we understand.
Adekunle Gold, the urban high life music revolutionist, recently released his sophomore album titled About 30 and there's enough hint that suggests it is a classic.
The lead single of the album – IRE has had so much impact that it has been dubbed 'the Nigerian prayer anthem of 2018.'
As expected, Simi had a hand in the album preparation process. She mixed majority of the songs on the album and also played a role in the area of song writing.
Even though their love lives remains private, their music relationship at least, has been a thing of beauty.

Women do invest differently from men, says Manisha Thakor. They have some inherent advantages — including a skeptical tendency to ask questions about investment ideas they don't understand, and a tendency to gravitate toward "buy and hold" investing that saves on the trading cost of higher churn.
Still, as a group, women are way behind where they should be financially, says Thakor, a Harvard MBA who gave up a successful 15-year career on Wall Street to launch a second career as an expert on women and money. She's written two books on the subject and founded the Women's Financial Literacy Initiative, which is now offering an online financial course taught by Thakor.
It's well known that women work fewer years over their lifespan, earn less for their work, and live longer than men. Here are some of the other unpleasant realities of female finances today:
- Women start to save for retirement on average 2 years later than men according to TransAmerica's Center for Retirement Studies – which shaves off a remarkable 15% of their retirement nest egg over the life of an average career. *
- Fewer women with a 401(k) option participate (70% of women v. 82% of men) and those who do, contribute less (6% v. 7% by men), according to the same study. Also: fewer women save for retirement independently.
- The majority of female executives — 62% — fear they won't have enough money to retire, according to a separate MetLife study.
The good news is that women are expected to continue to grow as an economic force, and as an investor class. Boston Consulting Group has estimate that $5 trillion in new income will be earned by women globally over the next five years.
So how can women do a better job saving for their own future goals — whether it's a child's education or their own golden years?
Thakor teaches that:
- A woman needs money of her own if she's going to really have choices, so even if they are more interested in other topics (careers, children,etc.) they need to spend some time on their financial health.
- Women need to be less conservative with their investments, partly because they're prone to take too little risk, and partly because they are likely to live longer than they may expect. "If you plopped on your bed for 20 years and didn't move, when you stood up finally you would fall over because your muscles would have atrophied. It's the same thing when you put your money in cash," says Thakor, who compares the impact of inflation on long-term investments to "termites eating away at the foundation of your house."
- Women need to start saving smart younger. "If Jane starts saving $5,000 per year in her 20s and gets 7% return, and Joe starts at 40 and gets the same return, Jane will have almost five times more money than Joe at retirement," notes Thakor. **
- After paying off any double digit student loan or credit card debt, you should begin to split your free cash putting half into paying off lower-interest debt and half into your investments. "Otherwise it's like saying I'll start exercising when I lose weight. When you go to the gym and start lifting weights and you first see that first cut of muscle, it's motivating. (When you start putting money into investments) It's building that saving muscle," says Thakor.
- Put college savings into a good 529 plan (Thakor likes Vanguard's) and all your other long-term savings into Target Date Funds (again she recommends Vanguard's for the asset classes they include and how they evolve over time.) Unless you are committed to spending 15-20 hours per week on research you should not buy individual stocks or bonds or actively managed mutual funds. Though she spent years building portfolios for a living, Thakor herself now puts all her savings into Target Date Funds. "It's the financial equivalent of the chicken rotisserie: "set it and forget it." I'd rather focus on my work than research individual stocks or think about tactical risks. I'm giving up the possibility of some potential upside, but would rather give that up for the simplicity of knowing I'm getting 90% of that anyway."
- Any money you'll need in the next 5 years should be in money markets, CDs, or savings accounts.
Lessons learned, mothers need to start educating their own daughters (and sons). Thakor herself started thinking about saving at the kitchen table. When she was 11 or 12, she remembers her father, a CPA who later worked as a corporate Chief Financial Officer, sitting her down with a Hewlett Packard calculator to show her the power of compounding. If she could save $2,000 a year into an IRA from her lawn mowing and babysitting businesses, he argued, she could have a huge jump on building a nest egg. Thakor didn't quite get that much saved as a teen, but she did open an IRA, and gain a taste for finance that stayed with her through her college years at Wellesley. While spending her junior year at Oxford, she remembers reading Virginia Wolf's A Room of One's Own. Thakor describes her own mother as "a bra burning feminist" but it was Wolf's argument that women can't have "the mental space to create if they don't have money of their own" that finally sealed her path. Three years after graduation she went to Harvard to study for her MBA.
Thakor's own smart savings allowed her to leave her traditional Wall Street career and pursue a new path that leaves her "happy as a clam".
For those curious about the math behind some of Thakor's examples:
* "Say Joe starts saving $5,000 a year for retirement at age 28 (average for men to start retirement savings per TransAmerica study) whereas Jane starts at age 30. Say they both get 7% returns. At age 65 Joe will have $801,687 while Jane will have $691,184. So simply starting a mere 2 years later can shave off 15% – and that assumes the woman saves every single year whereas many women opt to take some years out of the paid workforce to raise kids or tend to elderly parents, thus making the impact of that 2 year delayed start even larger than 15% if there savings stop at any point along the way."
** "Say Jane starts saving $5,000 a year at age 21 and gets 7% returns, she will have $1,330,604 at age 65. Say Joe starts saving $5,000 a year at age 41 and gets a 7% return, he will have $290,993 at age 65. So Jane has 4.57x more money."
