With today being Election Day, our first and most important message is get out and vote. Voting is a right and of course key to a democracy.
Now that we told you how important it is to go out and vote, let's take a look at the other side. When it comes to stock market performance, we would argue that election outcomes are not particularly important. Regardless of the election's outcome, the S&P 500 Index has been positive during the 12 months following the midterm election 18 straight times going back to 1946. "While many think gridlock is good because it generally takes political extremes off the table, stocks have staged a relief rally of sorts after elections regardless of the results," explained John Lynch, LPL chief investment strategist. No matter who controls the House and Senate for the next two years, we think stocks are a good bet to move higher over the balance of 2018 and probably through 2019 as well.
That doesn't mean policy-sensitive sectors and industries won't react to the outcome. We will offer some of our thoughts on post-election winners and losers here tomorrow and in upcoming publications. Bottom line, for those voting Democrat, we wouldn't sell stocks just because the Republicans may sweep. And for those voting Republican, we wouldn't sell stocks because the Democrats sweep. Note that the latest polls suggest the Democrats will take the House and Republicans will hold the Senate, but given political surprises in recent years, we would not be shocked by any outcome.
Considering the deep domestic political divide, as well as the ever-present global challenges, we believe investors should prepare for further bouts of market volatility in the year ahead. As always our focus will not be on political headlines but rather will emphasize the solid fundamentals supporting economic growth, the direction of interest rates, and the impact of record corporate profits on the financial markets.

Allegation of likelihood of confusion rests on erroneous assumption of secondary meaning of lapsed mark
Trademark Confusion
New brand introduction in healthcare industry results in consumer confusion
In a case involving elements of forward as well as reverse confusion, Mind/Share provided expert services during trademark opposition proceedings as well as when the federal suit was filed. Mind/Share provided a critical assessment of the research conducted by the opposition expert concerning likelihood of confusion. Subsequently Mind/Share conducted its own likelihood of confusion study and provided a report detailing the evidence of consumer confusion found. The results, in part, indicated a likely presence of reverse as well as forward confusion. The parties settled the case prior to trial.

Aim: The Japan Diabetes Society and The Japan Geriatric Society made a joint committee and published a new glycemic target in May 2016. Because reports on the state of glycemic control in elderly diabetic patients are insufficient, we investigated the state of glycemic control in this population before the new glycemic target was established.
Methods: We enrolled patients older than 65 years of age who had been prescribed antidiabetic drugs and hospitalized in the geriatric department of Nagoya University Hospital from April 1, 2015, to March 31, 2016. We investigated the participants' HbA1c, prescription of antidiabetic drugs carrying risks of severe hypoglycemia (risk drugs) at hospitalization, cognitive function, basic activities of daily living, and instrumental activities of daily living.
Results: A total of 63 patients were enrolled. Thirty-five patients were male, the mean age was 83.1±5.9 years old, and the average HbA1c was 7.6%±1.5%. The numbers of patients assigned to categories I, II, and III were 10, 12, and 41, respectively. For prescription of risk drugs, 6 participants were assigned to category I, 8 to category II, and 22 to category III. Prescription of risk drugs was associated with the HbA1c. Approximately one third of the patients using risk drugs had a lower HbA1c than the target value.
Conclusions: Risk drugs was not significantly associated with the established categories or age. Many of the patients who were prescribed risk drugs had a lower HbA1c than the target values.
Aim: To comparatively investigate whether dynapenia and sarcopenia, as defined by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS), are associated with fear of falling in elderly patients with diabetes.
Methods: The subjects were outpatients with diabetes who were at least 65 years of age when they visited our hospital. Sarcopenia was evaluated based on the AWGS definition. The cutoff values for the appendicular skeletal mass index (multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance method), grip strength, and walking speed were, respectively, 7.0 kg/m2 for men and 5.7 kg/m2 for women, 26 kg for men and 18 kg for women, and ≤0.8 m/s for both men and women. Those with grip strength of less than or equal to the cutoff value were considered to have dynapenia. Fear of falling was assessed by a self-administered questionnaire survey with the Fall Efficacy Scale (FES) Japanese version. A multiple regression analysis was conducted using the FES score as a dependent variable and dynapenia or sarcopenia and moderators as explanatory variables.
Results: A total of 202 patients (male, n=127; female, n=75) were analyzed in this study. The FES scores of the patients with and without sarcopenia did not differ to a statistically significant extent in either male or female patients. The multiple regression analysis revealed a statistically significant association between dynapenia and the FES score in men (P=0.028).
Conclusions: In elderly outpatients with diabetes, no association was found between sarcopenia and the fear of falling in either men or women. In contrast, a statistically significant association was found between dynapenia and fear of falling in men. This suggests the importance paying attention to the fear of falling when examining elderly male diabetes patients with dynapenia.
Aim: The present study examined the effects of individual pain coping-skills training (PCST) on knee pain, pain coping strategies, physical functions, and daily physical activity among older outpatients with osteoarthritis.
Methods: Twenty-five older adults who suffered from knee pain and had been diagnosed to have knee osteoarthritis (men: n=4; 75.4±6.3 years) were assigned to either a PCST group (n=13) or a general health education group (n=12) according to their wishes. Both groups attended 20-minutes sessions once a week for 8 weeks. At the baseline, the basic attributes (e.g. gender, age, duration of knee pain, and medical history), BMI, and the severity of knee osteoarthritis were obtained. Additionally, knee pain and limitations in mobility, pain coping strategies, pain self-efficacy, exercise self-efficacy, lower muscle strength, mobility, accelerometer -based time spent in physical activity and sedentary behavior were assessed before and after the 8-week intervention period. Analyses were performed using an intention-to-treat principle. Differences in each variable between the groups were examined using an analysis of covariance. Each participant's baseline value was used as the covariate.
Results: Even after controlling for the baseline attributes and values, only the PCST group exhibited a significant improvement in pain self-efficacy (p=0.005), exercise self-efficacy (p=0.042), lower muscle strength (p=0.004) and mobility (p=0.027). Furthermore, the PCST showed a significant increase in moderate-to vigorous-intensity physical activity (p=0.052) and a decrease in medical behaviors as one of pain coping strategies (p=0.073).
Conclusion: The present study showed that PCST therefore appears to be a feasible and effective therapeutic strategy which improves self-efficacy for controlling knee pain, which may also result in increasing the self-efficacy for exercise, physical functions, and daily physical activities.
An 82 year-old male was referred to us because of a nodule in the upper lobe of his right lung, which was incidentally found by computed tomography (CT) carried out in the course of treating pneumonia. The nodule was identified as non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma of the lung by bronchoscopy. A close investigation revealed the tumor to be cT1bN3M1b, clinical Stage IV. Although we only adopted a wait-and-see approach because of his age and his suspected myelodysplastic syndrome, the nodule had regressed on CT images after a year. Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography showed apparently decreased uptakes in the lymph nodes and adrenal gland. We considered this to be a systemic observation of spontaneous regression of carcinoma.
A 71-year-old woman with a 9-year history of Parkinson's disease was admitted to our hospital emergently because of consciousness disturbance. Her consciousness level was 200 on the Japan coma scale (JCS), and she presented with tenderness and distension of the lower abdomen. Brain computed tomography showed normal findings. Blood tests showed an increased ammonia level (209 μg/dl) with normal AST and ALT levels. We catheterized the bladder for urinary retention. Five hours after admission, the blood ammonia level decreased to 38 μg/dl, and her consciousness level improved dramatically. Corynebacterium urearyticum, a bacterial species that produces urease, was detected by urine culture. Therefore, she was diagnosed with hyperammonemic encephalopathy resulting from urinary tract infection caused by urease-producing bacteria. In this case, urologic active agents had been administered to treat neurogenic bladder. We suspect that these drugs caused urinary obstruction and urinary tract infection. It is important to recognize that obstructive urinary tract infection caused by urease-producing bacteria can cause hyperammonemia. Neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, tend to complicate neurogenic bladder. This disease should be considered in elderly patients with Parkinson's disease who are receiving urologic active drugs.
A 70-year-old woman was diagnosed with chronic rheumatoid arthritis and treated with methotrexate and prednisolone. She visited our hospital to determine the cause of her continuous fatigue and fever for the past three weeks. She consumed no food orally and was provided antibiotics because free air was found on computed tomography (CT). Intraperitoneal small lymphadenopathy and swelling of both adrenal glands was also found on CT, and MTX-associated lymphoproliferative disorder (MTX-LPD) was suspected. Am adrenal gland biopsy showed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) associated with MTX-LPD. The causes of gastrointestinal perforation with collagen diseases have been reported to be functional gastrointestinal disorders with collagen diseases like amyloidosis, gastrointestinal infections in immunocompromised patients, and side effects of medication, such as steroids or NSAIDs and MTX. MTX-LPD is an uncommon side effect of methotrexate. To ensure its appropriate diagnosis and treatment, it is important to improve the degree of recognition of MTX-LPD, and a prompt response is needed.
Enteral nutrition is often performed in elderly patients with dysphagia. Choledocholithiasis is a disease that is common in elderly patients. Gastrointestinal hemorrhaging can occur in association with endoscopic sphincterotomy, and subsequent enteral nutrition must be carefully resumed. We herein report our experience using Mermed Plus containing sodium alginate after endoscopic hemostasis. The patient was an 88-year-old woman with an onset of gallstone cholangitis during rehabilitation after cerebral infarction. On day 2, endoscopic sphincterotomy and biliary drainage were performed, and the cholangitis was ameliorated. The degree of arousal and swallowing function were unstable, and a liquid diet via the nasogastric tube was initiated from day 6. Anemia progressed on day 7, and melena was observed; as a result, the intravenous administration of a proton pump inhibitor was initiated. On day 8, endoscopic hemostasis of the ulcer proximal to the papilla was performed. From day 10, we focused on the mucosal protective effects of sodium alginate, and Mermed Plus was initiated. No recurrence of hemorrhaging was observed. On day 13, the endoscopic findings revealed that the vicinity of the papilla was covered with solidified liquid diet, and the ulcer had healed. The postoperative course was uneventful, and swallowing training and rehabilitation were performed. On day 26, oral ingestion became possible. Many patients seem to be at risk of developing a gastrointestinal mucosal disorder when receiving enteral nutrition. In such cases, a liquid diet containing sodium alginate as dietary fiber is easy to use and may be useful for resuming enteral nutrition without delay.

Ten years ago, social mobility wasn't really a thing. Well, it was, but no one talked about it. It was an accepted, rarely challenged fact of work life that people from more affluent backgrounds went to university and, in turn, nabbed the best jobs. Thank goodness times have changed. Or, at least, are changing.
And thanks to the Social Mobility Foundation, along with their sponsors the City of London Corporation, we now get access to what's believed to be the world's only Social Mobility Employer Index each year.
In this 2018 index, over 100 employers from 18 sectors (who employ some one million people), entered the 2018 Index. They came from a variety of sectors – from banks, to law firms, and from Government departments, to engineering firms, retail firms and technology companies. The survey assesses employers across seven areas, including the work they do with young people, their recruitment and selection processes and how people from lower income backgrounds progress within their organisations. Alongside it, over 11,000 people also took part in a voluntary employee survey.
And whilst we kind of gave the game away in the headline, KPMG came top this year (knocking the previous number one – Grant Thornton UK – to the number two slot).
Rightly so, the KPMG spokesperson Deputy Chair Melanie Richards is proud of this ranking. "Being recognised as the leading employer in the Social Mobility Employer Index is an immense source of pride to us and will spur us on to do even more together to drive forward this agenda at every level in our business. For us, social mobility is an integral part of the future of our business and the future of UK plc which is why we will be collaborating with the wider business community to build on this success. Over the coming months we will be redoubling our efforts to take this work forward to create a fairer firm, pushing for a fairer industry and increasing opportunity for all within it."
For a business that was well-known (along with the other big consultancies), for actively pursuing large number of graduates from the Russell Group universities, they have come very far. Hats off to them.
As for the rest of those companies who are doing well, you can see the top 50 here.
The tide is definitely turning for the better, with the research showing that social diversity is now a priority for 3 in 4 employers surveyed, with the majority of employers of the 1.1 million people they represent now asking new staff questions about their background.
Here are just some of the ways in which companies are beginning to assess social mobilty. 53% of employers asked their new employees whether or not their parents went to university, with 51% asking what type of school they attended. 4 in 10 also asked their current employees these questions. Whilst 30% asked if their employees had been eligible for Free School Meals and 12% asked questions around the occupations of employees' parents and the postcode they grew up in.
When it comes to finding more diverse undergraduates, there's a slight shift here too, with Birmingham and Warwick universities being visited by participating employers more than Oxford this year. There were also significant increases in visits to other universities in large cities. And whilst Oxford and Cambridge are still visited more than 75 universities combined… this is down from over 110 universities combined in the 2017 Index.
Employers are also making key changes to the recruitment processes to counter bias (both unconscious and conscious). 42% of the employers analyse their recruitment process to see where those from lower socio-economic groups fall down. And now 25% of employers remove the candidate's name from the application/screening stage of recruitment, whilst 20% remove the university attended.
There's a lot to be celebrated in the survey, yet the reality is that we're still in our infancy when it comes to social mobility and how to ensure that someone's background does not hinder their employment or progression. For despite all these great measures, those from private schools remain over-represented at all levels in most of the UK's leading firms. But let's applaud what has been achieved and look forward to more positives to come, shall we?
David Johnston, Chief Executive of the Social Mobility Foundation said, "We have been very impressed by the efforts employers are making to ensure their organisation is open to talent from all backgrounds. We can really see organisations taking a whole host of actions to try and ensure that they have a diverse workforce in terms of socio-economic background as well as in terms of gender and race; they in turn are benefitting from accessing a much wider talent pool than they have traditionally recruited from. All entrants should be praised for broadening their approach."
Catherine McGuinness, Policy Chairman at the City of London Corporation said, "Improving the UK's social mobility record requires action by employers and the Index is creating a real momentum. Many leading businesses are showing real ambition in their approach to tackling the UK's social mobility problem and it is important that firms continue to prioritise this area to help remove the barriers holding back the best and brightest in our society.
"Giving young people experience of the work environment and helping them gain skills can boost their career prospects and open up a wide pool of talent for businesses. Everyone has the right to a good career regardless of background and we must remove hurdles for young people who have the talent, but may lack the network of guidance, support and connections to get ahead. They are the future workforce which will make sure that the UK prospers in the long term."
Sir Nick Clegg, Chairman of Social Mobility Foundation said, "I'm delighted that so many organisations chose to participate in the Social Mobility Index this year. Improving social mobility across society is a collective endeavour – with Government, schools, colleges, universities, families and businesses all pulling in the same direction.
"This year's Index shows that there is a growing appetite for employers to play their part – I warmly congratulate all those who did so, and I hope they will be joined by more employers in next year's Index."

New order replaces old in admin suite
He there, I urgently need to resolve this issue. I've got a couple of carts live at the moment and have found that if a customer places an order on say 2 consecutive days the second order replaces the first in the admin suite. I'm guessing I need to clear sessions somewhere along the line. One site is payments standard and the other is payments pro.
The other issue I have is that when someone selects and pays with the express checkout option, their delivery address details are being stored in the database, but not their names. the value that is being stored in the database on the pp_confirm.php page is this: <?php echo ((isset($_POST["shipping_firstname"]))?$_POST["shipping_firstname"]:""); ?>.
Is this correct?

Here is a list of updates and changes you can easily and inexpensively enact on a regular basis.
Domain Name Horror
Not too long ago I had a client (we'll call her Sarah) who ended up in a pickle with her website and domain name. Long story short, Sarah originally set up her business website hosting and domain registration through a small company. After many years that company was going out of business. The guy that … Continue reading Domain Name Horror

Fixed Bridges
A bridge, or fixed partial denture, is a small row of durable prosthetic teeth meant to replace teeth that are missing. They are called bridges because one prosthetic tooth is placed between two crowns, bridging the gap between your teeth. If you have missing teeth that you would like replaced, ask Kensington Dental Clinic if a bridge is right for you.

Alkylation of c-17alpha specifically protects the steroid molecule from metabolism by the enzyme 17beta- hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17beta-HSD). This enzyme normally oxidizes a steroid's 17beta-hydroxyl (17beta-ol) group, which must remain intact for the drug to impart any anabolic or androgenic effect. Oxidation of 17-beta-ol is one of the primary pathways of hepatic steroid deactivation. Without protection from this enzyme, very little active drug will survive the first pass through the liver and reach circulation after oral dosing. Alkylation of c-17alpha effectively protects the steroid from 17beta-HSD by occupying a hydrogen bond necessary for the breakdown of 17beta-ol to 17-keto. The compound must be metabolized through other pathways as a result, and immediate hepatic deactivation is prevented. The process allows a very high percentage of the steroid dose to pass into the bloodstream intact, but it also places some strain on the liver in the process.
The exact mechanism of hepatotoxicity induced by alkylated anabolic/androgenic steroids remains unknown, but it is speculated to be due in large part to the natural activity of androgens in the liver. This liver possesses a high concentration of androgen receptors, and is responsive to these hormones. With hysiological androgens such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, however, only a moderate level of activity is permitted in this organ. This is because the liver is normally very efficient at metabolizing steroids, which mutes their local activity. But with the liver unable to easily deactivate alkylated steroids, however, a far greater level of hepatic androgenic activity is allowed. The concentration of steroid in the liver is also very high after oral administration, as the digestive tract delivers the drug directly to this organ before it can reach circulation. The fact that the most potent steroid ever given to humans on a mg-for-mg basis is also the most liver toxic, also supports a close association between androgenic potency and hepatotoxicity.
Early liver toxicity is usually visible in blood test results for hepatic function before physical symptoms or dysfunction develop. This is most likely to include elevations in aminotransferase enzymes AST and ALT, also called serum glutamic-oxalocetic transaminase (SGOT) and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), respectively. The cholestatic enzymes alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) may also be elevated, along with other markers (see: Understanding Blood Tests). Screening for abnormalities in hepatic markers is regarded as the most effective way of preventing liver damage from steroid administration. Should asymptomatic toxicity go unnoticed and without a change in drug intake, it is likely to progress to more severe hepatic strain, injury, or hepatic dysfunction. Immediate cessation of anabolic/androgenic steroid use and a full assessment of liver and full-body health is advised should any signs of unacceptable liver toxicity become apparent.
The most common form of actual liver dysfunction caused by the administration of oral anabolic/androgenic steroids is cholestasis. This describes a condition where the flow of bile becomes decreased, usually because of obstruction of the small bile ducts in the liver (intrahepatic). This causes bile salts and bilirubin to accumulate in the liver and blood instead of being properly excreted thorough the digestive tract. Inflammation (hepatitis) may also be present. Symptoms of cholestasis may include anorexia, malaise, nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal pain, or pruritus (itching). The stool may also change to a clay color (alcholic stool) due to the reduced excretion of bile, and the urine may become amber. Cholestatic jaundice may develop, which is characterized by a yellowing of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes due to high levels of bilirubin in the blood (hyperbilirubinemia). Intrahepatic cholestasis may also coincide with hepatocellular necrotic lesions (death of liver tissue).
Intrahepatic cholestasis will usually resolve itself without serious injury or medical intervention within several weeks of discontinuing all hepatotoxic steroids. More serious cases may take several months before normal hepatic enzyme levels and functioning are restored. Hepatic lesions are likely to heal over time as well, at least partially. In some cases physicians have initiated supportive treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid (ursodiol), which is a secondary bile salt known to possess hepatoprotective and anti-cholestatic effects, in an effort to hasten recovery. The exact value of using this medication to treat steroid-induced cholestatic jaundice remains unknown, however. The liver is highly resilient, and intrahepatic cholestasis is unlikely to continue degrading after drug discontinuance unless additional pathologies are present.
More serious hepatic complications are rare, but have included peliosis hepatis (bloodfilled cysts on the liver), portal hypertension with variceal bleeding (bleeding caused by increased blood pressure in portal vein related to obstructed blood flow), hepatocellular adenoma (non-malignant liver tumor), hepatocellular carcinoma (malignant liver tumor), and hepatic angiosarcoma (aggressive malignant cancer of the lining of blood vessels inside the liver). Some of these pathologies can be very insidious at times, developing quickly and without clear early symptoms. Although many of these potentially life-threatening side effects have often been attributed to very ill patients receiving steroid medications, a growing number of case reports are now involving otherwise healthy young bodybuilders abusing these drugs. Additionally, there are at least two case reports of a previously healthy bodybuilder developing liver cancer after taking high doses of oral anabolic/androgenic steroids, and one confirmed death.

The first week of May was a thrilling one for the people of Vintage Dream Factory, a Belgian non-profit organization established with the aim to preserve and fly the North American Mustang P-51 SCAT VII.
Scat VII is the sole airworthy P-51 based in Belgium and is a rare combat survivor. It served with the 434th Fighter Squadron, 479th Fighter Group where she was the personal aircraft of Major Robin Olds in World War II. Robin Olds would go on to become a triple ace and scored his 5 last kills of the War whilst flying Scat VII.
During the Vietnam War, Robin, a Colonel by then, would go on to make fame whilst flying the F-4 Phantom with the 8th TFW when he came up with Operation Bolo and destroyed 4 MiGs.
Vintage Dream Factory had the pleasure of welcoming both the daughter and granddaughter of Robin Olds, Christina Olds and Jennifer Newman, to spend some time with them and the aircraft Robin flew in over 70 years ago.
For Christina it was also a long awaited reunion with the very same aircraft her dad flew in over our occupied skies in World War II.
On Wednesday, May 4th, pilot Lieven Lavaert paid a visit to the Belgian Air Force base Kleine Brogel with Christina in the backseat. For Christina it was a very emotional flight aboard her late father's Mustang, especially flying it over the same skies he had fought in during WWII.
Once on the ground, Christina would give a lecture about the life of her father.
The event was given great coverage by both the Belgian written press and national TV channels.
On Saturday, May 7th, Vintage Dream Factory organized a unique and fabulous event at Kortrijk Wevelgem airport where Christina met with a select group of aviation enthusiasts and moved everyone with the stories of her father's life and to share the memories of a great leader, pilot and above all a wonderful man!
Off course Scat VII was also present and people had the opportunity to get up close and personal with the Mustang, talk to Christina and have their personal copy of the Robin Olds biography signed by Christina.
Did you know that you too can be a hero for a day? Become a member and fly Scat VII from the backseat! For more information please visit www.vintage.flights
For more detailed information about Robin Olds or Scat VII, please have a look at the Robin Olds biography page on our website or the P-51 Scat VII page.

Why socialist ideas persist
In this series we will publish weekly cutouts from the book by Kristian Niemietz
In this series we will publish weekly cutouts from the book by Kristian Niemietz
In the 70's, Chile was a country devastated by Salvador Allende's interventionist policies. The socialist government had destroyed the economy and destabilized society, leaving the nation in a complete socio-economic ruin which was compounded by the lack of individual freedoms. Given the worrying situation, not surprisingly, the Chilean economy was moribund and other Latin American countries such as Mexico, Venezuela, and Argentina easily surpassed their standard of human development.
Sixty years ago, while thousands of Cubans were celebrating the fall of the regime of Fulgencio Batista, a fevered atmosphere filled with a mixture of hype and hate was taking over Havana. Few foresaw what was coming next. On January 1, 1959, the Republic of Cuba was killed.
Fifteen thousand Cuban intelligence operatives and 'military advisers' bar the path to democracy in Venezuela. Luis Amalgro, Secretary-General of the organisation of American States, has described them as "an occupation army that teaches to torture, to repress, to do intelligence tasks, civil documentation, migration."
The first time I couldn't buy food at the grocery store, I was 15 years old. It was 2014 in Caracas, Venezuela, and I had spent more than an hour in line waiting. When I got to the register I noticed I'd forgotten my ID that day. Without the ID, the government rationing system would let the supermarket sell my family the full quota of food we needed.
Many speak of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as being a force of the future – unaware that these intelligent beings are already manifesting themselves in their daily lives. These human-like machines are undoubtedly here to stay, and they will continue to grow, become more intelligent and have a greater influence in our day-to-day lives.
Can we call the legitimate will of the Venezuelan people to recover their country's freedom and democracy a "coup"?
On Tuesday, April 30, Venezuelans woke up with a surprise on social networks, the interim President of Venezuela Juan Guaidó and the political leader of Voluntad Popular (center left) Leopoldo López called on the armed forces to execute the definitive cessation of usurpation , the first step of the political strategy that aims to conquer freedom in the country and then p
Last month, when the Venezuelan opposition leader, Juan Guaidó, was briefly detained by Maduro's intelligence agents less than 48 hours after proclaiming himself the new interim President of the country, many saw on that a
There are two Venezuelas: the Venezuela of yesterday, prosperous and thriving, and the Venezuela of today: poor, corrupt and in the dark.

Hold shelf end date and notice to next requestor
- Article Type: General
- Product: Aleph
- Product Version: 20
Desired Outcome Goal:
[From Annie Chan, Open University of Hong Kong Library, via Global Aleph Users list:]
Configure Aleph to send out hold request notice to the next requester only when the hold shelf expired item has been transferred to the pickup library and scanned in at Circulation Counter. (Additonal problem description under Additional Information.)
[From Theo Engelman, Utrecht University:]
You can choose to use another mechanism to inform the patron about the availability of the item that has been requested.
Therefore we don't use the hold_request_filled email, we always use the Return_Hold functions for that.
You will need to setup this up only for workstations (or Aleph profiles if you use the Aleph Networked GUI) that you use to check-in hold items, putting them on the hold-shelf after check-in.
These are the steps:
1. Take care to make a template hold-request-letter-XX that has all the information in it that you want to send to the patron to inform the item is ready for pickup.
2. Take care to make a template hold-request-slip-XX that has all the information it you want to have on the slip you want to put in the item that will be stocked on the hold-shelf.
3. Take care the XX in these templates correspond, they need to be exactly the same.
a. Using different numbers for hold-request-slip-XX enables you to differ between
i. the actual hold-request-slip your employees use for order-picking the item (if you use this function)
ii. the actual hold-request-slip your circulation desk wants to put into the hold item when putting in on the hold-shelf
We make this distinction for the hold-shelf is public accessible and we don't want as many personal information on the slip in the item for privacy reasons
4. Take care you setup the ..\circ\tab\print.ini for circulation desks you use to check-in hold items having a line like this:
ReturnHold01 XX N M rethold.prn 'PRINTER1' 'PRINTER2'
The ReturnHold01 function invokes two printouts:
a. The hold-request-letter to the patron, informing the item is ready for pickup
b. The hold-request-slip for the circulation desk to put into the item on the hold-shelf
• XX in column 2 determines which version of the templates I mention in my list above will be used
• Y/N in column 3 determines whether or not the printer device setup window should be displayed or not when using this function
• M/P/B in column 4 determines the output to be emailed. If a patron doesn't have an email address, the output will be printed of course.
• 'PRINTER1' (and you should not use quotes and place this exactly under column 6.1 in the file) determines where the hold hold-request-letter would be handled. You can use a print ID to have it handled by a Print Daemon (which we do), leaving this column empty uses the Windows default printer
• 'PRINTER2' (and you should not use quotes and place this exactly under column 6.2 in the file) determines where the hold-request-slip would be handled, which is normally a slip printer in the neighborhood of or attached to the circulation desk workstation. Obviously you don't want this to be emailed but printed, to be ready to put in the hold item on the hold-shelf.
As we use a Print Daemon to send all letters to patrons and Print Daemon handles the emailing or printing to patrons based on whether or not they have an email address in their Aleph address record, our print.ini looks like this:
ReturnHold01 01 N P rethold.prn centraal
!ReturnHold01 01 N P rethold.prn centraal NO-PRINT
The upper line is active on Aleph profiles (we you use the Aleph Networked GUI) we use to check-in hold items. 'centraal' is the Print ID we use for the Print Daemon that handles all letters to patrons, column 6.2 is empty, so the slip is printed on the Windows Default printer.
The second line (which is not active, therefore starting by an exclamation mark) is activated and (and then of course the first line should start with an exclamation mark) on all other Aleph profiles, where we do not want slips to be printed.
For further reference, more information is to be found inside the Aleph documentation.
Additional Information
Additional problem description: After setup of a new branch library this year, we have set up sublibraries to handle check-in, check-out and pickup of hold items for these 2 libraries. We have also configured our Aleph (v20) to generate hold request email notice to requestor when the hold-filled item has been transferred to the pickup library. However, problem is found when hold shelf period has ended for an hold item. Hold request notice is sent out to the next requestor that night after Library closing on Hold End Date. If the pickup library for the next requestor is at the other library, it takes time to transfer the hold shelf expired item to the other library. The next requestor on receiving the email notice may come to the pickup library before the item is arrived.

Medical Marijuana and Driving in Florida: Here is what you need to know
Most people know that it is illegal to drive while under the influence of marijuana, alcohol, and other drugs. However, if you live in Florida or any other state that has legalized marijuana for medical uses, it's easy to think that as long as you follow the medical marijuana rule carefully, you can still drive while on medication. In Florida, this isn't the case. Impaired motorists are unsafe drivers no matter the reason for the impairment even if it's medication.
Any driver understands that drunk driving can result in accidents. Besides, you can be arrested and charged with DUI if our BAC (blood alcohol content) is 0.08% or more. What about weed and other similar drugs? What are the legal limits for these drugs?
Any trained and experienced DUI lawyer in Orlando understands that determining the level of intoxication of marijuana and other similar drugs is not easy. This is because these drugs affect the body differently and there is no specific way of measuring what amount of a given drug is in your body. Now that Florida State has legalized the use of medical marijuana, lawmakers are still trying to find an effective way of determining the level of THC in the blood.
One of the major challenges in determining the amount of THC in one's blood is that the level of THC builds up as you continue using marijuana. Additionally, marijuana doesn't produce higher levels of THC when ingested. Thus, it might not make sense to use the level of THC in one's blood to determine if they should be charged with a DUI.
The Florida Law
According to the Florida Statutes Section 316.193, you can be guilty of a DUI if you are in actual physical control of a vehicle or driving while under the influence of alcohol or other controlled substances. It's easy to determine alcohol intoxication through blood, breath, and urine tests. What about weed and other drugs? What does the law say?
According to the current Florida State law, the only way to gauge the level of drugs in your blood (intoxication) is impairment of your normal faculties. This encompasses your ability to perform various physical and mental activities of daily life including seeing, walking, hearing, talking, making judgments, and more.
Some prescription drugs cause drowsiness and lack proper judgment. Therefore, it's important to know the side effects of the medication you might be taking and take caution when driving. If a law enforcement officer finds you driving erratically even after taking a prescription drug, you can be arrested and charged with a DUI.
If it's your first-time DUI conviction, you will pay a fine of up $10,000 and spend six months in jail. Your driver's license will be suspended for about 12 months. Besides, you will have to perform a minimum of 50 hours community service and your vehicle immobilized for ten days after you have served your jail term.

Stumbling Toward The Cliff
This blog post was originally published on "Back in the Black," the blog for the Committee for Economic Development's Fiscal Health Initiative.
Some time ago, I wrote a post to explain why the Congress, beyond not taking action on the "fiscal cliff" before the election, was likely not to act in any meaningful way even in a "lame duck" session at the end of the year. Sometimes, you don't want to be right. But congressional actions leading up to the August recess confirm that concern.
The fiscal cliff was put there – to the extent that there was any constructive intent – to create a deadline that would force the Congress to act. Now, the Congress is disassembling the cliff, and moving it piece by piece further down the road. (The can that the Congress is serially kicking moves with the cliff.) The latest development is a tentative agreement on a continuing resolution (CR) that will extend funding for the agencies of government for six months – from the end of the current fiscal year (September 30, 2012) to March 31, 2013. (Without appropriations, we have the classic "government shutdown.") Before the emergence of that agreement, the smart money had said that the Congress would pass a CR only to the middle of November, adding one more reason why Congress would have to reconvene for a lame-duck session and address all of the other issues constituting the fiscal cliff. Now, that one more reason is gone. (The motive for this agreement apparently was that neither side wanted to bear the political or the substantive costs of a shutdown.)
The rest of the cliff remains: the tax cuts expire; the "doc fix" expires; the alternative minimum tax (AMT) expired at the beginning of this year; the new taxes in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) trigger on; and the automatic spending sequester hits. In addition, the Treasury will begin soft contact with the debt limit sometime around the end of the calendar year. And in one sometime forgotten element, the statutory authorization for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program (TANF) – the reformed version of "welfare," per the 1996 law – expires on September 30 of this year.
It may be surprising, but many on both sides of the aisle want the Congress to ignore the cliff. The motive for Democrats is fairly clear: They believe that the Republicans want the upper-bracket tax cuts so much that their expiration on January 1, 2013 will yield bargaining leverage (see the speech by Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), and the column by former Governor Jennifer Granholm (D-MI)). However, even Republicans are speaking affirmatively, but quietly, about the prospect. The Republican motive also is clear: They believe that they will sweep the White House, the Senate, and the House in November, and that (per the explanation in my earlier post) they will be able to finesse the drop off the cliff in early January, and quickly thereafter will be able to solve the budget problem all their way. From that perspective, declarations in early November, immediately after the election, will de-fuse public concerns about the cliff, and head off economic damage.
This is a game of high-stakes poker – and standards of behavior in this town have deteriorated so much that you cannot win at poker anymore unless you are willing to put your children on the table. Democrats potentially would have to allow the substantial tax cuts for low- and moderate-income families – an increase in the child tax credit, for example – to expire. Even TANF payments, for families of even lower income, could suffer.
At least on the Republican side, this brinkmanship is based on a hope for an election sweep. As I explained in the earlier post, even a narrow Senate majority could – with party discipline – pass a bill that would include much of that majority's budget agenda. With a president who would sign it, and retaining control of the House, the Republicans could enact sweeping changes into law. The Democrats could do the same, assuming what the pundits likely would say is a less probable sweep for their own candidates.
Given CED's belief that both spending cuts and tax increases are necessary to solve the budget problem (and our policy recommendations to do so), no my-way-or-the-highway approach is attractive. Is there a plausible scenario for a happier ending? Yes, but it requires behavior that is somewhat beyond recent standards.
Assume a split decision in November: Neither party controls all three levers of the Executive and Legislative branches. And assume that the leaders of both parties read the handwriting on the wall, as dust-covered as it is, and conclude that the can cannot be kicked down the road for one more election. In particular, the party that loses the White House realizes that it must wait four years, not just two, before its bargaining position can be significantly stronger. So those congressional and executive leaders realize – and say publicly, in however muffled and guarded terms – that the problem must be solved in 2013, by the players then on the field, and that neither side possibly can claim a political win over the outcome. The lame duck Congress prepares the field, understanding that there is no further advantage to be gained by allowing the tax cuts to expire and the automatic spending cuts to occur. The financial markets take the hint, and give the newly elected policymakers breathing space well into 2013. The negotiators bargain a painful and unsatisfying – but economically successful – deal over the course of the next calendar year, and we all optimize happily ever after.
No one will write a ballet to this scenario. (An opera, maybe. Are you reading this, John Adams?) It will not be good for Democrats or Republicans. But it might be good for America.
In later posts, I will explain what the lame-duck Congress will have to do to make this happy ending come true, and what the economic consequences might be. Enjoy your summer.

GIGABYTE's not a huge name in the peripheral business, at least on these shores, but it hopes that will change in the near-future. To help kick things off, it recently released its first gaming keyboard as part of its Aivia line-up, and in addition to sturdy construction, it features unique color choices, macro capabilities and an excellent feel.
Whenever I take a new mouse or keyboard for a spin, I'm always a little bit wary, for what I'm sure are obvious reasons. Peripherals seem like a simple thing, but the fact of the matter is that you could use two keyboards that look quite similar, but feel completely different. And after having used a particular setup for a while, moving to another model is always a bit strange at first.
With the K8100, though, I was actually quite amazed at how quick it felt "just right". For well over the past year, I've been using a simple Logitech Internet keyboard, so the two aren't alike at all. But still, this one just felt right, with everything from the layout to the feel of the keys.
For gamers, the most important thing about a keyboard is its feel, and I'm certain what GIGABYTE has done here will please many. This isn't a mechanical keyboard, but it almost feels like one. The keys are very responsive, and though there's no defined "click" with each button press, you can hear them just fine as you type – if that's your thing.
The fact that the K8100 allows a large number of simultaneous key presses is huge, although not totally uncommon. It's a feature I appreciate quite a bit as I've run into many situations where I've pushed too many keys at once with my cheapy keyboard, and the PC would react in strange ways. The most common side-effect is broken button input, forcing you to close your game and reboot. I even had this occur a couple of times while playing through Medal of Honor, and it's only a five hour game!
That kind of thing just won't happen with this keyboard, and as mentioned before, even though it doesn't seem to live up to its statement of 20 keys (I'm still waiting to hear back on this, since it could be an isolated "issue"), it did manage to continually deliver 10, which should be more than enough for anybody, hardcore gamer or not.
Another major plus that the K8100 has is its reliable and easy-to-implement macro functions. The UI for the software is, not surprisingly, ugly, but after you spend a couple of minutes with it, you'll be using it like a pro. There's no scripting support, so if that's important to you, you might want to look elsewhere. Like the 20 simultaneous keys feature, I'd have to imagine that true scripting for macros is not a feature many people look for.
Though I'm limited in testing out macros since I can't even think of advanced ones to create (perhaps macros are best-suited for MMO gamers), the macros I did create executed without issue whatsoever. They were completely reliable, and if there was any issue at all, it was attributed to a fault in the macro setup itself, and could be corrected.
There are two things I haven't mentioned up to this point, that I will here before wrapping up. First, the keyboard's backlight LEDs can be turned off via a button in the top right-hand corner. It's hidden, for no other reason that it might not be used all too often. Also, there is a USB port on both sides of the keyboards, near the back. These are also hidden, but are easily accessible.
At $70, the competition for this board is fierce, with both Logitech and Razer offering comparable and possibly even more feature-packed options. For those who don't care about brand, but just need a reliable keyboard, and perhaps even happen to like the retro styling of the K8100, I'm confident you won't be upset with it. It's become my main keyboard, and I expect it to stay that way for a while.
One thing I will say, and I have to give thanks to a friend for pointing this out, is that this red version almost looks like the perfect backdrop as a themed board for my favorite footy team, Arsenal FC. Even the emblem looks to follow almost an identical shape!

Service Record — Edmund Maurice Downing Fitzgerald
1 Oct 1867 Staff Assistant Surgeon.
13 June 1868 Assistant Surgeon 56th (West Essex) Regiment of Foot.
18 May 1870 Assistant Surgeon 18th (The Royal Irish) Regiment of Foot.
1 Mar 1873 Promoted Surgeon.
1 Oct 1879 Promoted Surgeon–Major.
Malta 13 Aug 1882 Arrived from Southampton in the twin screw SS Tower Hill. The idea of a Base Hospital, surgical and medical, at Gozo and Cyprus respectively during the Egyptian Campaign of 1882, was entertained as early as July. Some of the medical staff for the hospital at Gozo left Southampton on 4 August arriving at Malta on 13 August.
Brigade-Surgeon Tippets Alfred Malpas was in charge of the Base Hospital at Gozo. His second in command was Surgeon-Major Fitzgerald Edmund Maurice Downing. By the 23 Aug, the Commissariat Staff under a Sgt with stores and four nursing sisters moved to Fort Chambray Gozo, which was adapted as a hospital. Five medical officers including an apothecary and a subaltern from the Durham Light Infantry commanding a detachment for guard were located in the former Governor's house, which had been unoccupied since the abolition of that appointment. This was adapted as a small mess and officer's quarters.
Mgarr Harbour Gozo served as a landing for small boats and farther out to sea afforded anchorage for the old Indian troopships, two of which put in at different times in Sep with wounded from Egypt. With the collapse of Arabi's army at Tel-el-Kebir only two batches of wounded with less than a 100 men had arrived at Gozo.
The role of the medical staff at Gozo was limited to the care and surgical treatment of the wounded which arrived in Sep 1882. On 10 Nov, the convalescents were discharged and the hospital was demobilised and the medical and nursing sisters and stores dispatched to Egypt to take part in the aftermath of the war at the large base and general hospital near Cairo and Alexandria.
Malta 18 Nov 1882 Left for Egypt. On arrival at Alexandria on 23 Nov, the personnel of the Gozo Hospital were dispersed.
June 1885 The leave to Australia on medical certificate granted to Surgeon E. M. D. Fitzgerald MD was extended to 29 October 1885.
26 Apr 1888 Died in Ceylon, aged 42 years.

Sensors and Connectivity series: How can rail exploit the increasing availability of geospatial data?
A Geographical Information System (GIS) is software designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyse and present geospatial data. The location dimension gives GIS an additional capability over more conventional analytics. GIS can increase the capabilities of other technologies and systems.
Latest update: May 2019
What is GIS?GIS is a computer system built to capture, store, manipulate, analyse, manage and present geospatial data - information with a geographical component such as GPS data, satellite imagery and geotagging. Ordnance Survey estimate that 80% of all information globally contains a geographical component, hence the location dimension of GIS can add another layer to conventional analytics. GIS allows users to perform calculations and analysis on geospatial data, edit the data in maps and presents results. Key applications of GIS are spatial planning, decision-making and asset management.
How will GIS impact the rail industry?GIS based asset management systems can be used to improve the safety, reliability and efficiency of operations for rail. For both static and dynamic infrastructure, GIS can determine the potential impacts of an asset's location and scale, as well as its proximity to other assets. For example, the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines on the London Underground (LU) have linked their GIS and Enterprise Asset Management System (EAMS) to provide a clear view of works and assets. Geospatial information is used to plan maintenance work packages, optimising use of limited maintenance windows overnight and saving both time and money.
Data integration: GIS provides a platform to integrate layers of data using the common geographical component. Layers can be adjusted according the user's requirements and can show changes over time. Ordnance Survey data, or other contextual data, can create good quality background mapping. Operators can establish a comprehensive GIS to maintain current and accurate location-based representations of their networks.
Geospatial data can improve the relationship between disparate information systems, such as Computer Aided Design (CAD) and asset management. Likewise, Building Information Modelling (BIM) can be geographically enabled using GIS. Projects are using GIS to provide greater visualisation at each stage including planning, operation and reporting. Crossrail created map-based reporting directly from the Tunnel Boring machines. Up to date information is accessible to all parties via mobile devices, creating more informed decisions throughout.
Flood risk prediction models: A GIS-based model was created by the LU Comprehensive Review of Flood Risks (LUCRFR). Flood hazard maps can be produced automatically, and flood risks and assets are easy to search for. Real-time weather data is beginning to be incorporated to further enhance the functionality.
What other industries are using it?Emergency services create crisis maps by collecting data from sources including satellite imagery, remote sensors and crowdsourced data. GIS is being used to generate a common operational picture of incidents in shared databases, helping to coordinate responses. For time-sensitive decisions, accurate, real-time geospatial data is important, and a greater volume of data can improve accuracy and precision.
Uber uses GIS to track the changes in demand at locations throughout the day and notifies drivers to maximise revenue. A large volume of data can be managed by the intelligent algorithms, classification and predicative capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI). Geospatial artificial intelligence (Geo.AI) combines AI with GIS. Traditional GIS are primarily outdoor focused and plotted in 2D. Indoor wayfinding can help plan for maintenance and emergencies. Building-wide maps enable the user to navigate through the indoor environment without physically entering it. Furthermore, a 3D GIS enables the user to depict additional detail in a third dimension, which could be geographical height, or location characteristic.
What is the current state of R&D?
- A pilot Geo-Referenced Safety Risk Model (GeoSRM) was developed by RSSB and the University of Southampton in 2016 as part of the project T972 Piloting a geo-reference safety risk model for the rail network in GB. It covered 10% of the GB rail network and created localised risk estimates of three Safety Risk Model hazardous events (train derailment, suicide, and slips, trips and falls), by considering local features.
- The Rail Infrastructure Network Model (RINM) project uses aerial surveying and LiDAR to construct a picture of the railway network for surveillance. After a successful pilot, it is aiming to add real time GIS data to the model.
What challenges remain for GIS?The accuracy of GIS is affected by data sources. To be effective, GIS needs up-to-date, reliable geospatial data, to accurately represent a situation. Reliable data is also essential for an AI system.
To enable real-time updates, data architectures will need to support the quantity and variety of incoming information. Geo.AI is one solution to GIS data management. Furthermore, a large volume of visual data requires significant computational power and storage. As commercial software and cloud-based solutions can be expensive, users are transitioning to open data sources such as OpenStreetMap (OSM). Users should be aware of open data policies and consider cybersecurity risks.
What should the rail industry do?
Rail could expand/improve GIS applications in the following areas:
- Develop appropriate methods to manage the quality, accuracy and availability of the data used. For example, Crossrail created a Spatial Data Infrastructure as an extension to its GIS.
- GeoSRM could be expanded to model a larger set of hazardous events and a greater geographical area.
- Incorporate weather susceptibility mapping into the GIS for a better understanding of extreme weather conditions and impacts on rail infrastructure. The LUCRFR project could be used to learn good practises for flood risk mapping.
- New industry datasets could be made suitable for use with GIS.
Rail could investigate applications where GIS can be integrated to increase the capabilities of other technologies. LiDAR could be used in conjunction with satellite observations to manage both weather and climate related risks and for general track surveillance. Augmented reality could be combined with interactive GIS maps to better visualise topography and weather conditions, such as expected snowfall across the network.
