The Duskfall + Soulash Discography (1999-2007)
ShteveJerbz posted a topic in MusicThese are rather hard files to come across now-a-days. I grabbed these off BTJunkie back in the day and haven't seen them uploaded in good quality since. What you're getting is The Duskfall's complete discography consisting of their first four albums before they broke up, their demo which was re-released as bonus tracks on the dual re-release of Souce/Frailty, the bonus track on Source/Frailty "Unspoken" (which is a recording from an HQ rupload of Youtube video that someone sent me of the song), and the very rare demo tracks they recorded as 'Soulash' that aren't found anywhere else but here. There's only two people that have them collected and the other person is TheDuskfall'sNo1Fan, which I sent to him to upload as I found them scattered across the web. [Hidden Content] Bio: The Duskfall are a melodic death metal formed in Lulea, Sweden in the early 2000's by lead guitarist Mikael Sandorf after his previous project, Gates of Ishtar, split. With Mikael switching from guitar/vocals to drums he recruited Par Johansson on vocals, Tommi Kuno on bass, Glenn Svensson on lead, and Johnny Alghren on rhythm. They jammed together for a bit before forming together as Soulash releasing their first demo: Tears Are Soulash (which can be found here). Sometime in 2001, Par left the band and Mikael was able to get Deathchain/Monsterspank/ex-Deathbound vocalist Kai Jakkola to take up vocals for Soulash while losing Johnny and Tommi shortly after Par. Sometime in 2001, Mikael was able to fill drums again with ex-Gates of Ishtar drummer Oskar Karlsson and filling bass with Kaj Molin. As The Duskfall, they released their first demo: Deliverance. Shortly after, they were picked up by Black Lotus Records and released their first full album in 2002: Frailty. In 2003, The Duskfall released Source and signed on to Nuclear Blast records. Shortly after the release of Source, the band lost Glenn but signed Lambs/Monsterspank vocalist and guitarist Antti Lindholm was their rhythm guitarist. Shortly after Glenn's departure, Koj left the band as well. 2005 saw the band sign to Nuclear Blast records and they released of Lifetime Supply of Guilt. In 2006, the band gained ex-Inrage/ex-Lost Souls bassist Matte Jarnil and released Lifetime Supply of Guilt in 2007 on Massacre Records. After years of line-up changes and lost checks in the mail, Mikael officially left The Duskfall. Without their lead guitarist and songwriter, the banded decided it best to offically break-up in 2008. From 2008 to 2013, the band members did their own projects: Matte and Mikael joined the rot'n'band Helltrain in 2009, who already had Oskar on drums, Kai went back to Deathbound and joined Deathchain, and Antti went back to the bands he had formed with his brothers: Lambs and Monsterspank. In 2013, Mikael decided it was time to revive The Duskfall. The Duskfall signed over to Apostasy Records. The band gained Jonatan Storm on bass, Fredrick Andersson on drums, Ronnie Endlund on guitars, and ex-Engel vocalist Magnus Kalvborn on vocals. In 2015, Mikael was left as the sole member of The Duskfall and recruited bassist Anton Lindback, Perfect Chaos/ex-National Napalm Syndicate vocalist Aki Hakkinen, Sebastian Lindgren on drums and Autumn Death guitarist Jakob Bjornfot. In late 2016, the band entered the studio to begin recording their sixth studio album: The Everlasting Shadows.

Chris Christie: There Should Be 'Balance' On Whether to Require Vaccinations
CAMBRIDGE, England—New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said there should be "balance" on whether to require parents to vaccinate their children from communicable diseases, remarks that come as other U.S. officials are blaming slowing vaccination rates for a recent resurgence of measles.
A recent outbreak of the measles virus tied to the Disneyland park in California has brought the issue to the forefront. Health professional say vaccinations are important as a public health measure and cite years of studies saying they are safe, while opponents believe vaccines could trigger complications such as autism in children.
In New Jersey, schoolchildren must be up to date on vaccinations for diseases including measles, mumps and rubella. An exception can be made for students on valid medical or religious grounds.

Major U.S. banks are in for another round of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks at the hands of Muslim extremist group Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Cyber Fighters, who vowed last week to renew their operations against the financial sector after having ceased attacks for nearly a month.
"The past week's attacks, showed our ability in doing wideness attacks so efficiently and of course this is not all of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam's ability," the group stated in a Pastebin post. "The attacks will be persistent till eliminating injustice and stopping the insults to the prophet of mercy and removing the offensive film, and we are sure that we will reach to our goals."
The attacks last week targeted U.S. Bancorp, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, PNC Financial Services Group and SunTrust – all of whom were previously targeted in the first round of the group's protest of a controversial YouTube video. HSBC, Ally, BB&T, Wells Fargo and Capital One have also been the subject of attacks, which began in mid-September.
"The attacks of this week will be as wide as previous week. The 5 major US banks will be attacked and we subsequently suggest that from now on they prepare their context of sorrowfulness to the customers of banks because of inaccessibility," the group stated.
The Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC) issued an advisory warning institutions that the latest wave of DDoS attacks could be more severe than those conducted earlier, and that member organizations have been sharing data on the attacks in order to assist in defending against the tactic.
"Targeted institutions have been working together with members of the security community and with government partners to help defend against the attacks. Information pertaining to tactics and techniques has been shared among these parties and with the broader FS-ISAC membership. FS-ISAC has provided best practices to its members to mitigate risk from these types of attacks," FS-ISAC stated in the advisory.
"Financial institutions should ensure they have reviewed their distributed-denial-of-service detection and mitigation plans, as well as recent threat intelligence shared by and through the FS-ISAC. FS-ISAC is working with its members, its partners and government agencies to monitor this threat, share information and support members under attack," the memo advises.
Stephen Gates, Security Evangelist at Corero Network Security, notes that today's traditional technologies like firewalls and IPS solutions were not designed to stop application layer DDoS attacks, and that many of the attackers know this. In fact, in some DDoS attacks, network disruptions may not even be the end goal, as the attackers may be seeking to create a diversion in order to penetrate a network and carry out a more serious attack. Gates says that in order to do that, they may actually target the network's firewall.
"What organizations put in place to protect them actually is being used against them," said Gates. "A new first line of defense has to be put in place to stop unwanted traffic before it hits the firewall and IPS – allowing those technologies to do the jobs they were built to do."
Those concerned about their organization's potential for exposure to DDoS attacks are encouraged to take a free DDoS preparedness assessment test, which provides a customized evaluation and subsequent recommendations based on answers to a short questionnaire. The DDoS assessment, which employs a series of analytical algorithms, can be conducted in a matter of minutes by following the instructions here: DDoS Preparedness Test.

Along with learning how to recognize and identify emotions, facial expressions, voice tone, and body language within himself and others, Liam is working on understanding figurative language. It's something I've been more casual about, caring more about expressive and receptive language, self and social awareness. (A huge reason why I love homeschool). A few months ago, I decided to work figurative language more deliberately into lessons. We were able to use the Inside Out Emotions Sensory Bin and Emoji Sensory Bin to learn about most of these struggles but this is how I take advantage of figurative language and autism teaching moments.
A Misunderstood Compliment
Although Liam's receptive to some things and absolutely gets my sarcasm (and is sarcastic just like me), he's still having issues with understanding other people and new scenarios. Sometimes, people (mostly old people and ignorant people) will jokingly tease him and of course that doesn't go over well and honestly pisses me off. Other times, it's well-meaning strangers trying to be nice.
Just the other day, Liam and I were at a busy Starbucks on MSU campus. Liam was wearing his super cute Rudolph fargo hat. (This detail is important). I had to wait for my order but Liam got his immediately. Although it was busy, I had a clear line of site to where he was wanting to sit so I gave a go ahead nod.
A few minutes later, I was still waiting but we made eye contact and I signed, "you okay?" My name was called but I waited for his thumbs up. I grabbed my drink and as I was preparing my straw, I saw a lady make verbal contact with Liam and I could see he was upset. I forcfully excused myself past about a dozen people in line, making my way toward Liam. The lady had left by the time I got there but I asked Liam to give me the play by play. "SHE CALLED MY HAT A ROCK, MOM! IT'S NOT A ROCK! IT'S A HAT!"
A Teaching Moment
This hat is really fucking cute. Every time he where's it, he gets a slew of compliments. I knew she didn't call it a rock. She, undoubtedly, gave a compliment that he didn't understand. I asked if she said "your hat is a rock" OR "your hat rocks."
We sat and I explained the difference between the two statements and what the saying means. I asked him to think about some awesome things he could see while looking around Starbucks and use "rocks" in a sentence. He pointed out a Sparty (MSU mascot) logo on the wall. "Sparty rocks!" "This cozy chair rocks!"
Mom Intervention
We have these situations with strangers often. Mostly because Liam is incredibly social and finds himself in constant interaction with someone. When I intervene, I never announce that he has autism. It's irrelevant and not a moment for autism awareness. I'm always more focused on Liam than I am others.
I try to intervene before the person walks away because I want this to be a teaching moment for them too. Typically, I walk up and say "Who did you meet?" A while ago, I taught Liam how to appropriately greet people so I know he's already exchanged names. I do this to pull his mind out of being confused and upset. He introduces me and then I'd repeat what unfolded in a way that he could understand. We all make small talk for an easy transition. Then, I announce our departure, we say goodbye to the stranger and Liam thanks them for the conversation. If I feel like the issue needs more attention, we'll talk more about it privately but a situation, such as walking away from u-scan check out while people are waiting, may call for an accelerated chat.
I don't filter what I say or how I talk to Liam. In fact, most times, I'll purposely use figurative language as an opportunity to chat about it more naturally. It's been feeling like spring here, in Michigan. I turned down the radio to tell Liam, "crack the window, son." I could see his confused face in the rearview mirror and I asked, "what's the holdup?" I'm proud (and thankful) to say he hesitated to smash the window and instead admitted, "I don't understand." THAT! That kind of self-awareness and self-advocacy is more important than understanding figurative language. It's the first time he said it without prompting and the ultimate goal is he'll be able to say this to someone else. Although we'll continue to learn figurative language, we're goin' balls to the wall with self and social awareness. (See what I did there)?

Canvas Boards
We offer canvas boards which can be used for painting, making collage, and other craft projects. Discover our wide range of canvass here at Spotlight.
8 items found.
Need to Buy Canvas? Discover the Most Suitable Option for You with Our Handy Guide!
Nowadays, artists can use many mediums to paint or draw on. Of course, this does not make the decision any easier for the budding artist. To help artists find their way in the world of canvas, we decided to create a useful guide to point you in the right direction. So, if you wish to learn more about canvas boards, stretched canvas, or other types of canvas that might be suitable for your artwork, be sure to read our guide below.
What Are Canvas Boards?
One of the most popular options you can find at Spotlight is the canvas board. Canvas boards tend to be most affordable for artists, especially artists who are just starting out and need to get all those expensive supplies in. Fortunately, you can count on Spotlight to provide you with an affordable range of canvas boards.
Naturally, canvas boards have their specific advantages, just like any other canvas you could acquire these days. Nearly all canvas boards are flat and solid panels, which means they do not have the bounce of a stretched canvas. However - this does make it a little easier for the beginning artist, who wants to work his way up to stretched canvas and other mediums.
Since the canvas board does not have the bounce of the stretched canvas, it does mean you do not have to sit upright to create your artwork. You can place the canvas board on a table, or another flat working surface to create your artwork.
What Is Pre-Stretched Canvas?
Pre-stretched canvas is probably one of the best-known types of canvas, since this one is commonly used by artists around the globe for their masterpieces. In most cases, the canvas is stretched over a wooden frame.
Naturally, pre-stretched canvas can be made from a variation of materials. The most popular material for pre-stretched canvas currently is cotton duck. Of course, material is not the only thing to consider, because the weight of the canvas may affect its properties.
There are three grades of pre-stretched canvas - this includes fine, medium, and rough. The fine grade of canvas is commonly used for portraits, while the medium grade is popular for almost all artwork projects. Rough grade also has its applications though, since landscapes could certainly benefit from using a rough-grade canvas.
Artists who want to take it one step further than cotton duck could use the more expensive material currently available, more specifically linen. Even though we don't recommend linen for smaller painting projects, linen could be more flexible for those big pieces of art.
What Is Homemade Canvas?
Many beginning artists often don't realise that homemade canvas is an option. In fact, many are surprised to learn that some artists prefer to make their canvas as well as their artwork from scratch. Naturally, creating your own canvas can be a little more budget friendly, but you will still need the material to make the canvas in the first place.
When you buy canvas that has not been stretched yet, you might notice it has a brown appearance. Before you can use it, you will need to apply animal extract glue - this to stiffen the material's surface. Then, you can stretch the canvas over your preferred wooden frame.
Additional preparation is required once the canvas has been applied on the frame, since several coats of primer must be applied to it. In most cases, artists will use a white acrylic primer - this will prevent the oils from the paint soaking through the surface of the material. To ensure a proper seal for your canvas, you will need at least three coats of primer.

What is Balcony Plunge Bra?
A balcony bra is the one style that suits almost everyone and all breast shapes. It is versatile and the most popular shape. It is designed to give a natural rounded shape and will give good coverage with subtle cleavage. The Balcony Plunge on the other hand will give you the shape along with more cleavage. The plunge aspect means that the wire is lower in the centre gore which increases cleavage and allows for lower necklines. This in turn reduces its adaptability as your breast shape will determine whether this is a winner style for you too.
Breast Shapes:- The balcony bra is perfect for all shapes. The balcony plunge bra can also be suitable for most shapes though the fullness and perkiness will determine whether this is a winner for you.
Lingerie Care:- Warm hand wash only. Wash colours separately.

- Internal market – fair trading within the EU through laws controlling competition, better standards and the free movement of goods, labour, services and capital funds.
- Common agricultural policy (CAP) – regulations regarding food products, food health, improving food production and supply.
- Regional development – poorer regions of the EU can get money to create jobs and improve the quality of life for people living there.
- Education and training – there are special programmes to help people broaden their education and to train, or retrain, for employment. (Socrates, Leonardo...)
- External trade – trade agreements between the EU and other countries of the world
- Laws on employment condition (including health and safety)
- Research and development
- Transport policy
- Development of an IT policy and a telecommunications policy
- Environmental protection
- Consumer protection
- Public health legislation and campaigns
- Energy policy
- Developmental aid to the Third World
Governing the EU
Like any government, The EU is a system for making decisions and spending money on a joint rather than individual basis. The Member States of the Eunominate members of the Commission and judges to the Court of Justice. Representatives of each government sit in the Council of Ministers, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) elected by the voters in each country sit in the EP.
The European Council
- council or summit consists of the Heads of State or Government of each Member State, who usually meet twice a year to give overall direction to the EU´s programme.
Under the treaties Europe is managed by five different institutions:
- the European Commission - each state has one commissioner (our republic - Věra Jourová)
- the Council of Ministers
- the European Parliament (751)
- the European Court of Justice (in Luxembourg)
- The Court of Auditors

Fault Grounds
Most states have some grounds for divorce that require the person filing for divorce to prove that his spouse committed some kind of marital misconduct, such as adultery, cruelty or abandonment. If you file for divorce based on one of these fault grounds, you must prove that the marital misconduct occurred, and your spouse has the right to defend himself against your accusations. He can deny that the misconduct occurred, or he can offer a defense such as condonation, which means that you condoned – or approved – his actions. If his defense is successful, the court will deny the divorce because you failed to prove the fault ground you alleged.
Procedural Dismissal
A divorce could also be denied because of procedural errors. For example, if you don't meet residency requirements in the state where you file, the court cannot grant your divorce and must dismiss the case. Or, if you fail to properly serve your spouse with divorce papers, the court cannot grant your divorce until your spouse is properly served.
When a divorce is dismissed or denied, the court will usually dismiss it "without prejudice." If so, the court isn't saying that you can never be granted a divorce. Instead, the court is simply saying that the current case is terminated, but you are free to start all over and file for divorce again.
All states now recognize some type of no-fault divorce, such as "irreconcilable differences," which removes the requirement to prove a fault-based ground in order for the court to grant your divorce. If you filed originally under a fault ground, you can refile using the no-fault option, which typically does not require proof of wrongdoing or marital fault on the part of a spouse. The court will eventually grant the divorce if you refile under no-fault grounds and follow all procedural requirements, even if your spouse doesn't want the divorce.

Know Your Nuggets: Endowed Progress
You're almost done reading this article
June 25, 2018
Editor's Note: We love testing and experimentation here at PeopleScience. Love it, love it, love it. But one of the challenges of experimentation is making sure you get scientifically significant results. One of the challenges of that is making sure you've tested enough subjects, i.e. that you have the right sample size. This isn't just a challenge in scientific testing, it's a challenge in political polling (I'm not going to survive the 2020 election campaign, am I?), product design, event planning and the creation of any program – loyalty, rewards, compensation – that involves a lot of people, i.e. everything. So our latest Know Your Nuggets piece explores sample size. Good luck!
A customer emails and writes, "I won't visit your store any more, the temperature is simply too cold." You might race to the thermostat, but hopefully you pause for a moment and think: "Well, that's just one person's opinion. "Overreacting to a single complaint, or an isolated incident, can cause serious missteps and overcorrections.
But what if a second person mentions the cold? Then a third? Is it time to crank up the heat? Are you just dealing with a few cranky customers?
Or, if you are thinking like a social scientist, you pose the question this way: Do I have a small sample size problem?
Humans are wired to see patterns, to see clusters, even when there isn't nearly enough information to do so. An old newsroom joke is that three anecdotes make a trend story. Remember when "4 out of 5 dentists" recommended a certain brand of gum? That pitch was true, even if only five dentists were asked. Consumers are often fooled by such statements, which prey on a phenomenon called sample size insensitivity.
People tend to react to the immediate - that's why thermostats go up and down all day long in some offices. In baseball, fans boo when a star player goes three games without a hit, even though everyone pretty much agrees he'll end the season with a .300 batting average. Web designers are told to change "buy" button colors from blue to red only a few hours after the launch of an e-commerce site, even if the launch took place at midnight. Workers sometimes earn promotions based on one successful project, and only later do executives find an underling really did all the work.
"Jumping to conclusions" is natural, and often immediately satisfying – everyone likes to believe in the clusters they see – but basing decisions on small sample sizes can be a big problem.
Sample size insensitivity is perhaps the most bedeviling problem all scientists face. Rarely can we run an experiment on an entire population. Whether testing a new drug, planning a re-branding campaign, or surveying customers about store heat settings, we are forced to examine some kind of sample and extrapolate to the rest of the population. This leads to errors. Asking too few people about store temperature is just one of the many ways that sample selection can go awry.
It's tempting to think, in our age of Big Data, that the solution to the small sample size problem is ... a large sample size. Tempting, but wrong. Large samples can fail, too. The classic example comes from the 1936 election, when the largest public opinion poll in U.S. history to that point – run by a magazine called Literary Digest – predicted FDR would lose the presidential race.
That poll suffered from something called "ascertainment bias," or uncoverage bias. Literary Digest tried to be inclusive. It sent sample ballots to 10 million people it found in phone books, association rosters, and so on. About 2.4 million were returned. But that method skewed the sample to middle and upper class Americans. Even though the magazine theoretically asked one in four voters to participate in its poll, an entire section of the population was underrepresented. The results were disastrous. Literary Digest predicted a 14-point victory for Republican Alfred Landon, but Roosevelt won by a whopping 24 points.
During the same election, George Gallup correctly predicted the outcome using a much smaller, 50,000-voter sample. Gallup was far more deliberate about the group he chose to poll. Selecting a sample that is truly generalizable and representative of the entire population is a delicate exercise that continues to challenge scientists (and political pollsters and corporate executives) today.
Sample selection can go south in so many ways. Survivorship bias might be the most relevant to business owners. It's a bit like the cognitive bias version of opportunity cost. We tend to quiz only people who "survive" the various filters we place around us when asking questions. Those who fail to reach us are entirely discounted. Jordan Ellenberg, in a book called How Not to Be Wrong, tells the story of a World War II effort to improve fighter planes by studying those that survived combat. Statistician Abraham Wald spent a lot of time convincing engineers to change tactics, and study planes that had been shot down instead.
Think back to our store temperature problem for a moment. Sure, three people have complained. But how many found the store environment perfectly pleasing? You likely have no idea, because those happy customers don't say anything.
Not knowing what you are missing in your sample might be the hardest problem to solve. Companies collect a lot of data about what they sell, and try to react to trends. Many fail to collect data on what they don't sell – where real opportunities can lie. Think of a bar with poor customer service. Customers frequently walk in, look around, are not greeted, and then they leave, never to be seen again. When that bar surveys customers, it will never learn about the wishes of those who walked out the door – the retail equivalent of planes that didn't survive combat.
Samples fail for more mundane reasons, too. Convenience sampling is the most obvious. You turn around and ask three customers standing near the register, "Hey, is it too hot in here?" Convenient, yes. Representative? Maybe not.
There's also volunteer bias, or non-response bias. You might be tempted to send an email asking customers your burning question. Only those who have free time will volunteer to respond. They will likely not be representative of all consumers.
If the situation sounds desperate, don't overreact. Finding, or creating, a good sample is hard work. So hard that even well-funded medical research projects often fail to do it. The search costs for finding and representing every point of view in your research are tremendous.
The solution: Don't think of samples as either good or bad. Think of them as having a margin of error. Use the information you glean from them commensurate with how confident you are in the sample. The theory of bounded rationality tells us that it's impossible to consider every possible data point when making a decision: There's just too much to think about.
So use surveys, polls and research to inform your choices. Use them to challenge conclusions and conventional wisdom in your workplace. But don't be seduced by the seeming science behind every survey or poll that's presented to you. Always challenge the samples used when reviewing research and drawing conclusions.
By the way, does anyone else think it's cold in here?

Ty-Meer Brown, a three-year starting safety who injured his neck last season, will no longer be able to play football. He remains with the program and is on scholarship and his schooling won't count against the 85 scholarship limit. Another player, senior QB Scott McCummings, is also not with the team this spring. McCummings injured his Achilles Tendon last summer and was out for the year. He is on track to graduate this spring.
As for the rest of the roster, there was some player movement with Ruben Frank and Cole Ormsby moving from DE to LB for the 3-4 scheme. Frank and Ormsby are undersized 4-3 DEs, and pass rushing LBs in 3-4 settings. UConn and ?head coach Bob Diaco will run the 3-4 defensive scheme, though most college defenses change fronts and schemes as the gameplan dictates. UConn did play some 3-4 under former defensive coordinator Don Brown, who is now at Boston College.

NOT GONE IN 60 SECONDS A bungling young car thief in Norway found one vehicle too tempting, and also too difficult for his (lack of) skills. The man managed to break into a Volvo saloon but then discovered to his horror that not only was he unable to start it, he was also unable to get out of it. The car's smart central locking system was too advanced for him. So admitting defeat, he used his cellphone to call the local police to come and rescue him. The officers duly came to his assistance and freed him from the vehicle, before charging him with the attempted theft.
STOP THIEF Police in the UK are trying to trace a man seen walking away with some blue lights, which were stolen from a police car parked outside a railway station. Officers have not accused the man of the actual theft but say he could help them with their enquiries. Quite what anyone would want to do with the lights from a police car is unclear.
PLANE DRIVING A trainee pilot in the US was making a state-to-state journey by aeroplane to visit his family when the aircraft suffered engine trouble. Seeing a large highway close by, the pilot managed to keep the Cessna airborne long enough to reach Interstate 20, then landed successfully, also avoiding any of the vehicles usingthe route. As the aircraft came to a halt, he opened the door and jumped from the Cessna so that he could urinate by the roadside. The drama of the incident was caught on video by a passing vehicle occupant, who also continued recording as the pilot relieved himself at the roadside.
BAD HABITS? Monks in Japan recently started a protest after one of their own was stopped by police for driving while wearing traditional clothing. The charges were that the monk's attire was not safe for driving. Immediately after, Japan's monks began posting a series of videos online showing them carrying out such activities as skateboarding, fencing with light sabres, juggling, cycling and skipping, all in compete safety, and all the while wearing traditional attire. The monk in question also said he had been driving for 20 years and had never had a crash.
STEEPEST SLOPE A town in Wales has been competing with the city of Dunedin in New Zealand over which has the steepest street. Both claim to have the steepest streets that can be used by motor vehicles. Baldwin Street in Dunedin was given the Guinness Book of World Records accolade as having the steepest gradient of any at 35%, however, residents in the North Wales town of Harlech have claimed that the street of Ffordd Pen Llech is actually steeper at 36.3%. It is worth noting that current photographs reveal both streets to have poor surfaces. Quite how an asphalt paver and asphalt trucks would negotiate the streets is open to question.
SIGN SAFETY A woman in Melbourne was lucky to escape serious injury when driving along a major highway. A gantry sign fell onto her car, crushing the roof. The incident was captured on the dashcam of the vehicle following behind. Luckily the car's structure protected the driver sufficiently for her to escape massive injuries. She was taken to hospital but is expected to recover. The cause of the incident has not so far been revealed but an investigation has been carried out.
MOTORWAY SLIP Police in Scotland recently stopped a man who was stumbling along the hard shoulder of a motorway. The officers quickly realised he was drunk due to the smell of alcohol on his breath and his slurred speech. The man had abandoned his car after it broke down on the motorway stretch, due to problems with the clutch. He was breathalysed and found to be several times over the limit for alcohol and was charged accordingly. He subsequently lost his licence for 18 months.
OH DEER A cyclist riding down a descent near Tucson, Arizona suffered a nasty spill recently. Crouched low over the bars, the cyclist was unable to avoid a deer that bounded out from the undergrowth by the side of the road. The cyclist was catapulted from his bicycle, suffering a broken foot and road rash after sliding along the road surface. His bicycle meanwhile bounced end over end to the side of the road. After the incident, the deer bounded off into the brush and has not since been available for comment.
SWANS WAY Traffic on the UK's busy M3 motorway was disrupted recently by a pair of swans. The two birds ignored the fast flowing traffic to cross the road. Emergency services rushed to the scene to provide assistance as the two birds were halted by the centre lane barrier. One of the swans had an injury and was unable to fly, which is why the birds were walking across the route. The birds were removed from the motorway by a specialist swan rescue team without further injury and taken to a more suitable riverside location. Meanwhile commuters in Glasgow suffered delays recently due to the presence of a swan on the M8 motorway. Police officers quickly appeared at the scene and stopped their car in one lane to protect the bird from the traffic. However, the stubborn swan proved somewhat reluctant to depart from the roadway. Eventually, they were able to persuade the bird to exit from the motorway.
BLOCK PARTY A group of enthusiasts in Germany used around 400,000 LEGO blocks to construct a full-sized model of a VW T2 camper bus recently. The model weighs around 700kg and was displayed at a trade fair event in Munich, having taken six weeks to construct. The team managed this in the tight timeframe, despite a shortage of some 20,000 transparent blocks for the windows, by working into the night. Measuring 5m long by 2.9m wide, the model also features the lift up top of the camper and is around 2m high when in the down position and nearly 3m high when it is fully unfolded.
DRUNK IN CHARGE A man in the UK was banned from driving recently after crashing his car in a construction zone. Officers were called to the scene after the crash, finding the car with severe damage after colliding with a construction machine in a work zone. The driver had abandoned his vehicle and run away. He was later traced and tests showed he was three times over the limit for alcohol. The man was banned from driving for 46 months and fined heavily, as well as being jailed for eight months.

Love Is Lust First
An Autobiography of Passion
Passionate poetry enhances the sincerity of this memoir about thwarted love.
David Amadeus Panckeri's memoir, Love Is Lust First, is labeled by the author as "an autobiography of passion" and contains a combination of autobiographical prose and poetry. In a spirited introduction, Panckeri writes:
I publish this book solely to WARN others against wasting 30 years or even 30 minutes following their heads and minds and brains and thereby forfeiting (perhaps forever, as I may have done with Alessandra) the joy and passion that comes with encountering a partner your heart and soul will love forever.
A large portion of the book deals with the strained, sad relationship between Panckeri and Alessandra, a woman twenty-seven years his junior. This relationship developed as Panckeri's wife of thirty-one years was in a coma, dying. Perhaps the strangest and most intriguing aspect of the relationship is the detail and passion that is ascribed to Alessandra in both the autobiographical sketches and the poems, particularly since the two have never met face to face.
This, almost shockingly, becomes the book's obsessive trope: Panckeri's search for a woman whom he fell in love with over the phone very shortly before his wife died. "It turns out," Panckeri writes, "that out of the hundred thousand game players that evening on Yahoo and out of the six billion people on earth, I met Alessandra and she changed my life forever." After chatting with her online, Panckeri speaks to her on the phone, a moment he describes as being "transported somewhere else to some other time in my forgotten past life."
The book's message, albeit unevenly detailed (we never get much information abut why Panckeri disappears after setting up a date with Alessandra or what exactly his "stupid mistakes" were) is sincere in its profound declarations. At a certain point, however, it becomes hard not to be slightly disturbed about how passionate Panckeri is about a woman he's never met, and about the pictures he includes of her in the book, especially when taking into account how spare he is about the mistakes that led up to him never meeting her. In one of Panckeri's interludes, he writes, "Ally and I talked fitfully in January and into early February 2005, seemingly incapable of resuming our former level of constant contact and mental intimacy. … I left messages via email and IM and called her beseeching her to call me back. I filled up her voice mail box again and she left it full, a very bad sign." These kinds of episodes happen throughout, and Panckeri, by the epilogue, hopes that "this book can somehow serve to facilitate our finally meeting."
In his poetry, most of which is addressed to Alessandra, a conversational tone and short lines accentuate his passion and sincerity, as in "Serendipity": "I came to you / as a recluse from joy, / my heart weary / from thirty years / of broken dreams." These poems are voiced well, but paired with the autobiographical material before them, they become a part of the narrative in a way that, while certainly enhancing it, also lessens their ability to surprise and speak for themselves. The poems that fill the second half of the book deal with a variety of subjects, including music, Panckeri's life as a father, his relationship with his late wife, and literature, but the undercurrent of his relationship with Alessandra trumps these subjects, if only because of the lengths to which the author goes to describe and justify it as real and sincere.

The latest buzz doing the rounds in Tamil cinema industry currently is that actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu is set to romance actor Surya, albeit on screen. The new project is going to be directed by director Lingusamy. With this movie, Samantha is back with bang in Kollywood, although her movie with director Gautham Menon and actor Jiiva, Neethane En Ponvasantham is still to hit the screens.
Samantha did not shoot for a couple of months and did not involve in any movie activities because of her ill health according to the sources close to her. It is because of her health issues, she missed many great offers in Tamil cinema, which includes Mani Rathnam's Kadal and Shankar's I. However, it now seems as if the young actress is happy after signing this project, which seems to be increasing her market value day by day in Kollywood. As per the sources, Samantha has also signed on in a Telugu movie project, which also stars Junior NTR as the protagonist.
Coming to the Lingusamy's movie, the shooting would go on floors from the second or third month of next year, according to the sources close to the movie unit. Right now, the lead actor Surya is busy with his current project, Singam 2, and once he is free from that commitment, he would join director Lingusamy it seems.
The director is already basking in the success of last his outing, Vettai, and he is busy right now with the pre production works for the new Surya project. It seems actor Surya got very impressed with Lingusamy's script. Names like Kajal Aggarwal and Hansika Motwani had been discussed but finally Samantha has now been signed for the female lead role. The sources also reveal that the movie is touted to be a pure action entertainer just like the director's earlier movies!

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Maybe Warren Buffett was on the line with his philanthropic partner, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, when Sergey Brin and Larry Page tried to call last week.
Or maybe the two Google Inc. founders who once publicly vowed to run their company the way Buffett runs Berkshire Hathaway have decided they no longer need to emulate the Oracle of Omaha, who famously buys assets on the cheap.
How else to explain the $3.1 billion in cash Google agreed to fork over for DoubleClick, the Internet ad services firm?
The price and cash terms that Google agreed to beg the question of who's minding the corporate bank account.
Measured by price-to-expected sales ratio -- the typical metric used by investment bankers to value small companies with little history of profits -- the DoubleClick acquisition is rare indeed.
DoubleClick is expected to post revenue of about $150 million this year, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. If that figure is accurate, the transaction has a price-to- expected sales ratio of just over 20.
Several weeks ago, this column explained how Cisco Systems Inc., CSCO, -0.84% the most-experienced strategic acquirer of tech firms, had opened its wallet wide when it paid just over seven times expected sales for WebEx.
Cisco agreed to pay $3.2 billion for the provider of Internet business services, such as hosting Web-based video conferences, which sells into markets growing faster than most of Cisco's own. Read the WebEx column here.
If Google GOOG, +0.57% were buying into a market that was growing faster than its primary one of selling text-based search ads, the DoubleClick price might somehow be justified.
This is the Internet sector after all, where Yahoo Inc. once agreed to pay more than $5.5 billion for Broadcast.com, a deal whose main achievement was to make Mark Cuban a professional sports mogul.
Depending on whether you count the $1.5 billion in incentives that eBay Inc. promised Skype when it agreed to buy the Internet phone provider in September 2005, that deal was worth between $2.6 and $4.1 billion.
Skype's 2006 revenue expectation at the time, according to eBay and Wall Street analysts, was $200 million.
Excluding the incentives, then, eBay EBAY, -0.51% paid as much as 8 times the following year's revenue expectation. Including the incentives, eBay paid even more - 21 times expected sales.
Viewed in that light, the DoubleClick valuation can be rationalized.
But eBay at least managed to get Skype's backers to accept the incentive clauses, as well as $1.3 billion in eBay stock, as payment, thereby forcing Skype investors to accept the risk that if eBay shares fell, the deal would be worth less.
By paying all cash, on the other hand, Google and its shareholders assume all the risk in the deal. And what the return on this cash investment may be is anybody's guess.
Google's board of directors was determined not to see DoubleClick fall into the hands of Microsoft MSFT, +0.05%, which reportedly also was in the bidding, even if they had to pledge most of the company's bank account to do it.
Hopefully for Google investors, the return on investment of the deal will justify its lofty price.
The value of the DoubleClick purchase is worth almost as much as Google's cash position of $3.54 billion, as of Dec. 31, and Google's $3.58 billion in cash from operations last year.
In other words, every last dollar that Google's search ad business generated last year will soon be in the pockets of private equity investors and a few dozen lucky employees of those two startups. For Google's shareholders, that money is gone out the door forever.
The Skype deal, which has so far been little help to eBay's bottom line, at least pushed eBay into a new market, namely the one for Internet phone services.
Google's purchase, on the other hand, is largely a defensive move.
While Google will no doubt be able to better serve its ad clients thanks to DoubleClick's ad industry connections, it was ALREADY winning the lion's share of revenue growth from the online ad business.
Google leads the fastest-growing online ad market, the one for text-based search ads, and it's expected to post sales growth of more than 60% when it reports quarterly results this Thursday.
By contrast, Yahoo Inc. YHOO has been among the leaders in the display advertising market that DoubleClick has focused on, and its top line is expected to grow just 11% when it reports on Tuesday.
The acquisition therefore puts Google into an adjacent market that is currently growing slower than the one it already dominates.
The DoubleClick deal's main purpose has to be seen as a way to prevent Microsoft from positioning itself deep into the market for Internet display ads.
That's playing defense.
And given the valuation Google paid, the DoubleClick transaction will likely go down as one of the most expensive defensive plays ever for a tech firm.

The winter coat is the best thing about the frosty season and is without doubt the most important purchase you will make between now and March. Forget the Christmas day outfit with its one-wear destiny and the New Year's ensemble doomed to the spillage of drinks. Your coat will be a permanent fixture for the next four to five months, and as far as first impressions go, it's the outside that counts.
Selecting a new coat, then, is a very important business and getting it wrong can be catastrophic. Opinions will be formed while your frozen fingers are still working on the top button, with your coat characterising your entire existence. You may think I'm exaggerating, but does anyone know Red Riding Hood's real name?
This season has seen the rise of the oversize, and the coat is no exception. Voluptuous coats dominated the runway and extra-roomy super snuggly styles are the next best thing to a winter blanket.
The oversized boyfriend coat is a huge trend that will carry on well into spring. After the boyfriend jean and the boyfriend blazer, it's not surprising that outerwear would be the next garment we'd steal from the boys. The most evolved piece to come from boyfriend style, the coat emulates not only the loose fit but also the structured cut associated with men's tailoring. Nonchalant and slightly too wide, you'd never actually find something so stylish in your boyfriend's wardrobe, in fact, who even needs a boyfriend to keep you warm when you've got the coat? Wear with skinny jeans, slim cigarette pants or a pencil skirt to balance out any bulk and keep the look streamlined.
Once the winter uniform of chav's everywhere, the humble puffa coat has had a high end makeover this season. Everyone from Peter Pilotto to Giambattista Valli sent models down the runway in sophisticated puffa styles and never has the Michelin Man silhouette looked so good. The alpine-chic look is best kept minimal; a bracelet sleeve will elegantly expose the wrist and jacket collars should be left undone to expose a long neck. Belt your puffa at the waist for a more ladylike figure.
In fashion, you're never 18 months away from a military revival, and the AW12 military coats do not disappoint. With the likes of Salvatore Ferragamo, Alexander McQueen and Marc by Marc Jacobs digging out the khaki greens and the brass buttons, a military cover-up will get you an instant promotion up the fashion ranks. Best approached with authenticity, the military coat is a sure fire way to stay on trend this season. Think lapels, pointed collars and epaulettes in traditional military hues for a sharp take on winter fashion. Speaking of Marc by Marc Jacobs, in the meantime (while you're waiting for the military jacks to kick-in again) take a look at the knitwear I found on the Jules B site.
The minimalist coat is a super-sleek option that will go with the majority of your wardrobe and never date. Outerwear at its most luxurious, Haider Ackermann, Maison Martin Margiela and Jil Sander have championed the minimalist coat with collarless necks, batwing sleeves and cleverly concealed fastenings. Opt for sleek lines and straight silhouettes for a classic cover up that oozes chic sophistication.
Last but not least, no fashionista's wardrobe is complete without the practical parka. The utility trend is huge for AW12 with, Altuzzara Alexander Wang, and Jason Wu (my favourite) favouring luxe versions of the parka in their fall ranges. The parka is the ultimate coat for keeping you warm and dry and is the best investment coat to see you through the seasons. Whether it's the tried and tested khaki, classic black or this season's burgundy favourite, the parka is a perfect mix of sensible and stylish.
The time has come to get layered up, belted and buttoned and take on the winter cold like a man/chav/soldier. You and your coat are going to be inseparable this winter – so make sure you find your cold weather best friend.

(March 13, 2019)--Jessica Nines and Lindsay Heinze combined for five home runs to lead Mount St. Mary's to a doubleheader sweep over visiting Maryland Eastern Shore in the Mount's home opener at Our Lady of the Meadows Field on Wednesday afternoon. Nines went 4-for-6 with three home runs and five RBI while Heinze was 4-for-6 with two home runs and four RBI in the two games. Amanda Berkley tossed a two-hit shutout in the Mount's 11-0 win in game one while Jordan Weaver struck out 10 in a three-hit shutout in a 5-0 victory in game two. The Mountaineers stretched their win streak to four with the sweep to improve to 9-12 on the season.
GAME 1: Mount St. Mary's 11, Maryland Eastern Shore 0
Nines and Heinze were unstoppable in the opening game of the doubleheader, combining to go 6-for-6 with six runs scored, six RBI and three home runs in the 11-0 victory. Heinze went 3-for-3 with two doubles, a home run, three runs scored and three RBI in the win while Nines was 3-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored. Amanda Berkley allowed two hits while striking out three in the five-inning complete-game win.
Heinze got the Mount on the scoreboard with a two-run homer in the bottom of the first. Kaylee Stoner singled with one out, and stole second base to move into scoring position. Heinze then hit a line drive home run over the left field fence to put the Mount ahead, 2-0. Nines hit the first of her three home runs on the day in the bottom of the second to put the Mount ahead, 3-0. Lexi Donovan added a two-out base hit, and she moved into scoring position by stealing second base as well. The Mount's leading hitter, Shelbee Holcomb, followed with a two-run homer to left to give the Mount a 5-0 lead. Holcomb, the reigning Northeast Conference Player of the Week, leads the Mount with a .419 average this season.
Mount St. Mary's continued to add to the lead with a pair of runs in the bottom of the third. Heinze doubled to lead off the inning, and after a pair of outs, Nines singled to put runners on the corners. Heinze came home to score when Kaia Bonshock reached on a error, and Donovan followed with an RBI single to center to give the Mount a seven-run advantage.
The Mountaineers sealed the win with four runs in the bottom of the fourth. Morgan Alisauckas drew a one-out walk, and pinch runner Erin Meagher came around to score on Heinze's second double of the game. Emilee Kirk got into the action with a two-base hit to plate Heinze to give the Mount a 9-0 lead. Nines rounded out the scoring with a long two-run homer to left center field to put the Mount up, 11-0.
Stoner went 2-for-3 at the plate for the Mount while Donovan was 2-for-2 in the win. Berkley's improved to 3-7 on the season with her fourth complete game of the season.
GAME 2: Mount St. Mary's 5, Maryland Eastern Shore 0
Jordan Weaver matched a career-high by striking out 10 batters while allowing just three hits in a complete-game three-hit shutout to pace the Mount to a 5-0 win in game two. Heinze and Nines each hit home runs a four-run fourth inning to propel the Mount offense.
Heinze got the Mount on the scoreboard when she belted a home run to center field to lead off the bottom of the fourth to break the scoreless tie. Kirk drew a walk, and Nines belted her third home run of the day, a long blast over the scoreboard in left center field to put the Mount ahead, 3-0. Kate Wade kept the rally going with a single, and she moved to second with a stolen base. Wade then advanced to third on a wild pitch, and then scampered home when the throw to third by the catcher went into left field.
The Mount rounded out the scoring with a run in the bottom of the fifth. Kirsten Mumma walked and stole second base, setting the table for Morgan Alisauckas, who singled through the left side to make it a 5-0 game.
GAME NOTES: A senior, Heinze now leads the Northeast Conference with seven home runs this season...The seven homers are a career-high for Heinze, who hit six home runs in each of the past two seasons...Nines has homered in each of the past three games for the Mount, totaling four over that stretch...She had one career home run before the three-game power surge...Weaver's 10 strikeouts match her career high...She previously had 10 stikeouts against Buffalo on March 22, 2017...The Mount has outscored the opponents 37-to-8 during its four-game win streak...

◼ The Scottish tennis player announced his retirement from the next tournament after being eliminated by Fernando Verdasco in Quarterfinals in Wuhan.
Former World No. 1 Andy Murray, who had planned to play the Beijing Tournament next week, declared himself unfit for that tournament and finally decided to end his season, several British media reported.
"I need to spend more time training and in the gym to be stronger and in better shape," said Murray, 311st in the world, after losing against Verdasco.
Murray suffers a sore ankle after his quarterfinal match in Wuhan that he lost to Spaniard Fernando Verdasco this Friday.
The three-time winner of a Grand Slam tournament, which returned to the competition at the beginning of the European summer after a year of absence due to a hip operation, will close the season with six disputed tournaments.

A recent study in welfare kennels showed that there are noticeable peaks in dogs showing stress when site is open to visitors and that 90% of kennelled dogs were showing this!
Therefore, as of 1st January 2019 after a successful trial, we will be introducing a new procedure for the viewing of dogs by appointment only. In line with other major animal welfare organisations we will no longer allow public access to our kennel runs.
Viewing will be by appointment only and suitable dog(s) will be brought up for you to meet. We request that other visitors do not walk around the kennels; all other areas will be open as usual to visitors.
We are hoping that this will not impact on the numbers of our dogs finding new homes but having spoken to other similar organisations this has not been the case, and a tremendous difference has been made to the dogs' welfare.
All dogs that are adopted from Woodside have to have a pre home visit before going out. The Trust do not home to a property with no or communual garden. A garden will need to be fully enclosed with 6ft fencing before a dog is rehoused.
Dogs available for adoption include:

Since I finally got the final document that will allow me to go to Germany and get married (!!!! Excited!!!!) ....my visa!!! so I will tell you (initially a bit but now when I start writing seem like there're a lot of things to be told.) This entry is really about all the documents and process that we need to go through in order to marry in Germany and get it accepted by the law so I can live there with my love one.
The process can be summed up like this :
1. Get the permission to marry in Germany
2. Use the permission document to apply for visa.
As simple as that!!!! But….no.... don't let it fool you!!! Before I can understand the process clearly like this…I have to try and get the hands on by myself
Process number one is the hard one because you cannot just easily write some forms and ask for permission. The first process can be breakdown to…..a few steps.
First: Gather all required documents which are : Your birth certificate, a document from your home district state that you are truly single!!, a document from the central office state that you are totally single and belong to no one!! (They need two documents to really make sure you are available ) and the last one is your home registration. This process take me a few weeks…it's just that I have to go to work and don't have that much free time….so if you are free…it take you 2 days. I will not get into detail how to get each document….some are pretty easy like you birth certificate or home registered. (Time: started 8 Oct 2012, Cost : 30 THB for issuing documents and copy)
Secord: Get all the documents to be 'legalized' by the German embassy. The way they do it is to send a letter to the office who issued the document to confirm that they actually done it by reply the embassy mail. A copy of your passport need to be legalized too but it take only the embassy staff to do it in one day. One big spot point ….make sure that if your document has been corrected you must make sure that the one available at the office who issued it has been corrected too!! Like my birth certificate…..it's been corrected a few times for my real name and address by different distric offices….I already took the copy I have to the embassy but I have to take it back because each point of correction must be confirmed by each office who corrected it i.e. the embassy need to contact 3 Thai office….and you can imagine how long it could take to get all to reply. The only way is to make sure that the actual document at the district office who issued my original birth certificate is corrected too. So I have to go to the district office …contacted the staff to see my real birth certificate and get it corrected. So I end up needed 2 trips to the embassy and one additional trip to the district office. This legalization process normally need 6-8 weeks depends on how long the Thai office needed to reply….it can even get longer than 8 weeks……. For me it took only around 5 weeks because in my "single certificate" from the district office state that the document is valid for 90 days…..so the embassy was kind to expedite the process for me. But…don't worry that the document will be expired…as long as it is not older than 6 month by the time it reach the court in Germany, it will be fine. (will be explain in the next step) (Time : Document submitted end of Oct, get it legalized early Dec, Cost : around 6,000 THB for legalization)
Oh…...I think only these 2 steps is too long already …so let finish this later with part 2…3 …or may be 4
Even though these process seem to be hard…annoying…it's also a good experience…without this sweet fortune (to meet my hubby to be) I will not know the nice and cozy Goethe institute….don't know how it works there in the embassy…may be I have a happy goal in my mind that is why I have made all steps happily (even with the heavy heart wishing that all step going well )
Cheers!! See you in the next part(s).
With a lot of LOVE
Pia & Richard

Salivary gland cancer is a type of head and neck cancer that involves in the abnormal growth of cancer in the salivary glands. It is not as common as the other types of cancers. There are three major salivary glands in the mouth. They are parotid, sublingual and submandibular. Cancer usually develops in the parotid gland which is present in front of the ear.
Salivary gland is made up of different types of cells. Acinic cells help in releasing saliva, mucoepidermoid cells line the salivary gland.
People suffering from salivary gland cancer may experience the following symptoms.
Salivary gland cancer is caused when a few cells in the salivary gland develop mutations in the DNA. These mutated cells divide and grow rapidly which lead to the formation of a tumour. The cancerous cells damage the organ and invade by spreading the disease to the other parts of the body. The exact cause of the salivary gland cancer is unknown, however, a few risk factors are mentioned which increase the risk of developing the disease.
The following are the main treatments of breast cancer.
Surgery is performed to either remove a part of the tissues from the salivary gland or the entire organ.
Chemotherapy is a drug used to kill the cancer causing cells. It is either given orally or intravenously. It is usually used after a surgery to remove the presence of any left-over cancerous cells in the body. Chemotherapy can also be given to treat the cancers that spread to various other parts of the body.
Radiation therapy is usually given along with chemotherapy before a surgery. This therapy also kills the remains of any cancerous cells in the body.
This video is an informative animated presentation that explains in detail about Stem cell therapy. Stem cell transplant is a procedure that uses stem cells to treat a disease or condition. Currently, stem cell therapy only treats diseases and cancers of the blood.
This video discusses the HIPEC treatment used to fight Cancer in the abdominal cavity. First the doctors perform a cytoreductive surgery to remove tumors. All visible tumors on the liver, stomach, small intestines, colon, rectum, uterus, and ovaries.
Watch the video by Dr. Somashekhar S P to know the role of HIPEC in advanced ovarian and colorectal cancer. HIPEC treatment along with cytoreductive surgery can increase the chance of survival in the patients who are suffering from advanced colorectal cancer. However, the combination of these two procedures is the only treatment option for advanced ovarian cancer.
Few of the differences between HIPEC and IV/ Oral chemotherapy are: HIPEC: • HIPEC is a kind of chemotherapy that is used directly to peritoneum, whereas, oral/IV chemotherapy is used through oral or veins. • HIPEC requires single dose, whereas, oral/IV requires multiple doses orally or intravenously. • Unlike oral, there is not any systematic toxicity in HIPEC. Watch the video by Dr. Somshekhar S P to know how HIPEC is different from intravenous or oral chemotherapy
HIPEC is a method of cancer cure that works mainly in the peritoneal cavity What kind of cancers can be cured by HIPEC? The types of cancers and conditions it can be used to cure are: Mesothelioma Ovarian Cancer Colorectal cancers with peritoneal spread. HIPEC can also be sued for other carcinomas with a peritoneal spread as it functions mainly in the peritoneal cavity.

Kayla Gerdes describes addiction that led to deadly Hempstead crash
A Freeport woman — driving while high on narcotics and pot in 2010 when she struck and killed a physician mowing her Hempstead lawn — said Thursday she has kicked a drug addiction.
And now Kayla Gerdes, 24, is urging other addicts to do the same.
Gerdes told a gathering at a Hempstead social service agency Thursday about her drug dependence on the day in April 2010 she ran over Dr. Rebecca Twine-Wright.
What followed for Gerdes was more than two years of court hearings before her July 2012 sentence and incarceration.
Her battle with drug addiction and its life-altering consiquences should serve as a cautionary tale for others in similar circumstances, Gerdes said.
"I think it's important to share my story no matter how dark, ugly or painful it might be for other people to hear it or for me to relive it," Gerdes told an audience of close to 100 at an open house held in Hempstead by the Family & Children's Association. "because if there is a person right now in that same state of mind . . . they can see who I am now."
Gerdes said she said she earned a college degree and has been sober for the past five years.
She described herself said as "a selfish person" on the spring day she jumped a curb in a van and killed Twine-Wright, but "I wasn't a mean person."
She said she "took somebody's life because I was high on drugs and driving a vehicle."
Gerdes pleaded guilty to second-degree manslaughter and other charges in 2012 and a judge sentenced her to 3 to 9 years in prison. She was released on parole last October after serving more than three years in prison, according to state records
Gerdes told the Hempstead group she was using alcohol and marijuana by the time she was 11. She said she often fought with her parents and eventually went to live in a group home. She also described sleeping under an elevated train in Brooklyn after a drug spree.
At her sentencing in July 2012, Gerdes apologized to Twine-Wright's son, Chauncey Twine, and told him she would trade her life "to give your mother back her life."
Twine refused at the time to accept her apology. More than four years later, Gerdes' life is on the upswing but Twine, 36, of Roslyn Heights, was still not ready to forgive.
"Forgiveness is more than just a word. It's actions," Twine said Thursday. "It would take a very, very long, concerted effort for her to earn forgiveness. I hope she's turned her life around. It doesn't benefit anybody for her to continue to do drugs."
