Message from Principal
Dear Wildcat Family,
Words cannot express how fortunate I have counted myself these last five years to serve as the principal at Fairview Alpha elementary. It seems like only yesterday when the Fairview Alpha students, faculty, and parents embraced me as the new principal. Everyone's positive attitudes and enthusiasm for the students' education has amazed me. The dedication of everyone has surpassed my expectations that I held when I first joined the Fairview Alpha community. Every day I find myself smiling as I observed the children's growth as a result of their own hard work and determination and their teachers' and parents' dedication and commitment.
Fairview has a unique community whose supportive environment and resources ensure that no one is afraid to strive towards reaching his or her full potential. There is no greater satisfaction than watching each and every student thrive.
I look forward to serving many more years as the principal at Fairview Alpha Elementary.
Brooke Williams
Fairview Alpha Elementary/Jr. High School

Skeletal muscle injury is one of the most common injuries in sports-related traumas.
The standard therapeutic methods for treating skeletal muscle injuries such as muscle fragmentation generally use conservative therapy that mainly involves resting of the damaged site. However, recovery can take over several months depending on the extent of skeletal muscle damage (Garret, 1990; Huard et al., 2002; Lehto and Jarvinen, 1991; Peterson and Renstrom, 2001). This is a serious problem for athletes eager for an early return. Even though significant clinical efforts are being made to improve the current treatment of skeletal muscle injuries, it is not easy to establish the treatment of accelerated recovery.
The regenerative process of injured skeletal muscle is highly coordinated and complex phenomena. Skeletal muscle-specific stem cells, so-called muscle satellite cells, are well known to be responsible for repair and regeneration of adult skeletal muscle tissues (Best and Hunter, 2000; Grounds, 1999; Hill et al., 2003; Saito and Nonaka, 1994; Seale and Rudnicki, 2000). Injured skeletal muscles in genetically developed mice lacking muscle satellite cells exhibited a severe depression of regenerative potential (Seale et al., 2000a). However, the regulatory mechanisms for the regenerative potential of injured skeletal muscle are still unclear. It has been reported that the proliferative stimuli for satellite cells is stimulated by extracellular stimuli, such as mechanical (Morioka et al., 2008) and heat (Kojima et al., 2007) stresses, resulting that such stresses facilitated the regeneration of injured rat tibialis anterior and mouse soleus muscle, respectively. On the other hand, unloading reportedly impairs the regenerative potential of atrophied soleus muscle (Matsuba et al., 2009). These observations suggest that the proliferative potential of injured skeletal muscle might be sensitive to extracellular stimuli.
Microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulation (MENS) was developed as a physical therapy modality delivering current in the microampere range. It has been reported that MENS has several physiological effects such as pain relief (Larner and Kirsch, 1981) and facilitation of tissue repair including tendon injuries (Nessler and Mass, 1987; Owoeye et al., 1987), skin ulcers (Gault and Gatens, 1976; Wolcott et al., 1969), wounds (Byl et al., 1994; Huckfeldt et al., 2007), bedsores (Carley and Wainpel, 1985) and ligament injuries (Miyazaki et al., 2007). Recently, we have confirmed that the regrowth of unloading-associated atrophied mouse soleus muscle is stimulated by MENS (Ohno et al., 2013). Previous studies (Curtis et al., 2010; Lambert et al., 2002) have suggested that MENS facilitates a repair of injured skeletal muscle and shortens the recovery period. However, it is still unclear whether MENS has stimulating effects on activation of regenerative potential in injured skeletal muscle.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of MENS on the regeneration process of injured skeletal muscle and to investigate whether satellite cells in injured skeletal muscle are activated by MENS. Evidences from this study suggest that MENS shortens the recovery period through the activation of satellite cells in injured skeletal muscle.
Animals and grouping
All experimental procedures were carried out in accordance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals as adopted and promulgated by the National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, MD) and were approved by the Animal Use Committee of Toyohashi SOZO University. All procedures adhered to the American College of Sports Medicine animal standards.
Male C57BL/6J mice, aged 7 weeks old, were used (n = 30). Mice were randomly divided into two groups: (1) cardiotoxin (CTX)-injected (CX, n = 15) and (2) CTX-injected with MENS treatment (MX, n = 15) groups. Five mice of both groups were housed in a home cage (20 x 31 cm and 13.5 cm height) in a clean animal room controlled at approximately 23[degrees]C and at 55% humidity with a 12/12 hours light-dark cycle. Solid diet and water were provided ad libitum.
Initiation of necrosis-regeneration cycle
In mice of both groups, 0.1 ml CTX (10 [micro]M in physiological saline (PS); Sigma, St.Louis, MO, USA) of Naja naja atra venom was injected into the proximal, middle and distal part of the left tibialis anterior (TA) muscle, using a 27-gauge needle under anesthesia with sodium pentobarbital (50 mg x [kg.sup.-1] body weight, i.p.). Injection of CTX was performed carefully to avoid the damage in the nerves, blood vessels (Conteaux et al., 1988; Fletcher and Jiang, 1993). This treatment causes the initiation of necrosis-regeneration cycle (Conteaux et al., 1988; Fletcher and Jiang, 1993), and used as a muscle injury model in previous studies (Kojima et al., 2007, Morioka et al., 2008).
MENS treatment
Forty eight hours after the CTX-injection, the left hindlimb of mice in MX group were treated with MENS (10 [micro]A, 0.3 Hz, 250 msec) by using an electical stimulator (Trio300, Ito Co., Ltd., Tokyo) for 60 min a day and 3 days a week for 3 weeks under anesthesia with i.p. injection of sodium pentobarbital (50 mg x [kg.sup.-1]). Mice in CX group were also anesthetized for 60 min without MENS treatment. Before MENS treatment, the epilation of mouse hindlimb was performed using a commercial hair remover for human. Then, two electrodes were placed on the distal anterior side of the knee joint and the proximal anterior side of ankle joint, respectively. In the present study, no muscle contraction in hindlimb of mice was observed during MENS. The condition for MENS was set by accounting the body size of the experimental animal and the duration of MENS treatment compared with humans which are clinically treated with MENS (Morinaga, 2007).
TA muscles of left hindlimb in both groups were dissected 1, 2 and 3 weeks after the CTX-injection under anethsesia. TA muscles was trimmed of excess fat and connective tissues, weighted, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80[degrees]C until analyses.
Histochemical and immunohistochemical analysis
TA muscles were cross-sectionally cut into halves at the middle of the long axis. Serial transverse cryosections (7 pm thick) of the distal region of frozen TA muscles cut at -20[degrees]C and mounted glass slides. The sections were air-dried and stained to evaluate the pathological stages by using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and the profiles of Pax7-positive nuclei by using the standard immunohistochemical technique (Kojima et al., 2007), respectively. General pathological observations including centrally located myofiber nuclei were based on H&E staining. The cross-sectional area (CSA) of muscle fibers was also analyzed.
Briefly, monoclonal anti-Pax7 antibody (Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank, Iowa, IA, USA) was used for the detection of muscle satellite cells (Asakura et al., 2002; Hawke and Garry, 2001; Morgan and Partridge, 2003; Seale et al., 2000b; 2001). Cross sections were fixed with...

Last summer during eight overnight and six day camp sessions, more than 1600 campers, summer staff and volunteers came together at Barefoot Republic Camp, representing 40 different ethnicities. This summer, Barefoot anticipates 25% growth due to two new day camp session venues, a new treehouse village and increased camper enrollment for two sessions at Amy Grant's farm in Franklin, TN.
After one of her daughters attended a week-long overnight session at Barefoot's overnight camp, Grant fully caught Barefoot's vision for Christ-centered, multi-cultural camping ministry and invited Barefoot to host day camp sessions on her 450-acre property in 2015. "Hosting Barefoot at the Farm last summer were two of the most amazing weeks of my life...we are excited to have the campers back this year," Amy Grant shared. This week, "Barefoot at the Farm" began for K-7th graders and will take place June 6-10 and next week June 13-17. It is anticipated that over 50% of the 450 campers will receive financial assistance through Barefoot's "Counting the Kids" Annual Scholarship Fund.
Tommy Rhodes, Executive Director of Barefoot Republic, said, "I am grateful for Amy's heart, generosity and desire to host 'Barefoot at the Farm' on her family property again this summer. We're so excited to see Barefoot continue to grow and serve more children through this beautiful setting in the heart of middle-Tennessee. This unique location allows Barefoot Republic to offer more traditional outdoor programs such as horseback, tree climbing, fishing, mountain biking and archery that we cannot provide at other day camp venues. The farm will also host other classic Barefoot programs like team sports, music production, STOMP, dance, photography and more."
In addition to seven overnight sessions in KY and one in Southern California, Barefoot's day camp dates and locations are as follows:
Barefoot at the Farm I: June 3-10 in Franklin, TN at Amy Grant's Farm
Barefoot at the Farm II: June 13-17 in Franklin, TN at Amy Grant's Farm
Day Camp I: June 20-24 in in Nashville, TN at Christ Church
Day Camp II: June 27- July 1 in Franklin, TN at Christ Community Church
Day Camp III: July 5-9 in Old Hickory, TN at First Baptist Church
Day Camp IV: July 11-15 in Brentwood, TN at Brentwood United Methodist Church
Day Camp V: July 18-22 in Nashville, TN at West End Community Church
Day Camp VI: July 25-29 in Nashville, TN at Brentwood Baptist Church - Woodbine

The lunch break is an important moment for your relaxation, exercise and social contacts. Not only at the office, but also at home. What is a good lunch break when you are working from home? And why is a lunch break so important?
Relaxation, movement and social contact
Structure is important, especially when you are working from home. Not only the structure in your tasks, but also structure for planning your breaks. A lunch break with relaxation, some exercise and a social chat will contribute positively to your productivity and vitality.
Set reminders
Set an alarm or set a notification on your laptop or digital calendar to remind you of the lunch break. In this way you don't work too long. After the break you are energized to go back to work.
Switch environment
Have lunch in a different room than your workplace. By changing your environment, you really switch from worksetting to relax setting. A good excuse to have lunch in the garden when the sun is shining.
Lunch together
Are your children or is your partner also at home around the lunch break? Or do you have a roommate that is also working from home? Have lunch together at fixed times. No other home workers in the house? A digital lunch meeting is the solution for social contact. There are various tools (for example Microsoft Teams) with which you can easily connect with colleagues or friends.
Agree a time and encourage each other to really take a break.
Do lunch roulette
Yes really! Are you with more homeworkers at home? Rotate who takes care of the lunch. Everyone takes turns preparing lunch. Also alternate with dishes, such as soup, pancakes, sandwiches or salads. That makes lunch a surprise.
This is also possible for your online lunch appointments? Every day someone else is responsible for a recipe. This way everyone makes the same dish themselves.
Exercise completes your lunch break
Give your work day a boost with some exercise. Did you know that exercising lowers stress, improves your mood and increases your productivity? So go for a walk during your break, take an online yoga class or put on music for a dance session. You can also call someone during a walk: social contact and you are on the move.
Stay productive and eat a healthy lunch
If you work from home, you have your entire kitchen close to you. That makes it tempting to make double grilled cheese sandwiches or other greasy snacks. It is not good for your body or your productivity. Take this crisis to develop healthy habits. Now is the time, because you have everything at hand! Try out new recipes, make salads or a well-filled soup.

How to post vinyl records
With vinyl LPs making a surprising comeback in today's digital age, lots of people are wondering just how to prepare, package and post records. Whether you're sending a single record to a friend, or a couple as part of an online eBay business, our handy guide will teach you how to do just that. Plus, you'll be able how to avoid some of the mistakes other people make when sending vinyls in the post.
Get delivery quotes for posting vinyl records
To get prices for posting vinyl records, enter your parcel size and weight into our quote form to compare delivery prices from different couriers.
Preparing vinyl records for posting
So that your record doesn't get bent or damaged in the post, start by taking it out of its cover and remove the internal paper sleeve. Then lay the record on top of the cover jacket and place the internal paper sleeve on top – forming a 'sandwich'. You can then place the sandwich inside a plain plastic sleeve for extra protection. This not only protects your disc, but also the album jacket itself, which is important to keep the artwork in pristine condition in transit. If you don't have a plain plastic record sleeve, you can use bubble wrap to cover your sandwiched record. Another reason why it's best to remove the record and inner sleeve from the jacket cover is to avoid the disc edge cutting through the jacket.
If you're sending a vinyl disc without an original sleeve or jacket, use a plain plastic sleeve (or bubble wrap with tape) and two cardboard inserts to sandwich and protect it.
Choosing the right packaging for vinyl records
Once you've prepared your vinyl by sandwiching it between the paper sleeve and cover, or using bubble wrap, the next step is to find the right packaging to send it.
The best packaging for sending vinyls in the post are cardboard LP Mailers – which are made specifically for posting vinyl records. If you send lots of vinyl records it's worth investing in some of these. However if you're just sending one vinyl record you can make do by finding an unused pizza box or other similar shaped cardboard box. Remember to fill any empty spaces in your box using bubble wrap to prevent the vinyl from sliding around inside mailer during transit.
If you're sending a lot of records, then you can use a larger box and lay the 'sandwiches' on top of each other. You should fill the gaps at the sides and top of the inside of the box with scrunched up newspaper or packaging chips to keep the box firm and provide cushioning.
How much does it cost to post a vinyl record?
Now that you've got your LPs securely inside the box, you'll need to get out your weighing scales and measuring tape to find out how much it will cost to post them. Note down the weight, length, width and depth of your parcel then head over to My Parcel Delivery and use our price comparison tool to see which couriers offer the cheapest or fastest delivery service for vinyl records. If you're unsure of the exact dimensions and are estimating, have a look at our handy guide to weighing and measuring.
Our cheapest delivery services begin at £3.46 (£2.88 ex VAT) with Hermes Drop Off, and with UPS you can get it there next day from £8.10 (£6.75 ex VAT). If you're still in need of some advice on the best option for posting plants, our customer service team are on hand to help, get in touch now.

Two English Premier League clubs - Manchester United and Newcastle are keeping a close watch at Lille striker Victor Osimhen ahead of the January transfer window.
Osimhen has been in the center of transfer rumors in the past weeks following a bright start to the 2019/2020 Ligue 1 season.
"Barcelona and Manchester United, in particular, follow him regularly," a report in the French newspaper, La Voix du Nord, reads.
According to the English tabloid, Chronicle, Newcastle coach Steve Bruce has been handed enough war chest to boost the squad in the coming transfer window.
"Newcastle United scouts are therefore keeping tabs on Osimhen. The club's winter talent search is well underway as head of recruitment Steve Nickson and his team looks to compile a list of options for Steve Bruce in the next couple of windows." The Chronicle said.
Osimhen has been in top form since joining Lille from Sporting Charleroi for €12m in August, scoring eight goals and providing two assists in 12 appearances for Lille.

Not unlike how the Giants always draw the Packers on their off-day, the Redskins seem to always catch New York at a bad time. The G-Men played one of their sloppiest games in recent memory. While they did not commit any turnovers, they did get flagged nine times (for the first time since 2010). Their run defense turned out to be painful to watch; they were allowing an average of 6.7 yards per pop. Despite fumbling once, Alfred Morris had a nice game when he rushed for 124 yards. While the 'Skins defense left a little bit to be desired, they did well enough to only surrender one touchdown. That is pretty impressive when facing the New York Giants.
For the majority of this game, the Giants dominated in time of possession. They were piecing together long drives whereas the Redskins were concluding their drives rather quickly. Eli Manning was precise and made some good throws. Of course, it helps out when the offensive line can keep his jersey clean for an entire four quarters. On the one sack he did take, it almost appeared as though he thought a whistle blew. He seemed lethargic when pressure was right in his face on that particular play. Anyways, New York moved the ball well. The only problem is that they had to settle for a field goal four times (one was missed). That has been the story of the year for these guys: they move the ball with ease inside of the twenties, and then their drives sort of stall out right around the red zone. They also committed a lot of penalties that forced them to play from second and third and long situations. It does not matter how good of an offense a team has, they will not overcome constant obstacles such as 3rd and 14 or 2nd and 20.
The brilliance of RGIII showed during the final quarter of play. He ran the ball phenomenally all game, but in the final frame Griffin was lights out. He was reading the defense well, making spectacular play action fakes, and keeping plays alive like a champion. Osi Umenyiora and Jason Pierre-Paul were duped into the play fakes and crashed quickly at times. That is when Griffin broke contain and made big plays. His execution of the four minute drive was perfect- he stayed in bounds on a scramble he had, he handed the ball to Morris after assigning him the correct hole to run into, and he made a beautiful play fake to Morris and threw the ball over the top to Pierre Garcon, which essentially ended the game. Kyle Shanahan deserves a lot of credit for the game-plan he put together for this one. He and the Redskins offense were one step ahead of New York for the entire game. Washington won this game because of superior play-calling combined with a sloppy effort from the Giants.
This win was huge for the Redskins. With it, they make the leap to 3-1 within the division and now have a 6-6 record overall. This puts them only one game behind the Giants (at 7-5) who own a 2-3 division record. Also, New York could just as easily be 0-5 within the division had it not been for a couple of breaks in their games vs. Dallas and the first match-up with Washington. The 'Skins draw Baltimore next week in a game that will be very difficult to predict. As they play, the Giants will be making preparations for a late-window game against the New Orleans Saints. This will not necessarily be a must-win game for them, but it is certainly one the G-Men would like to have with the Redskins and Cowboys breathing down their neck in the NFC East.

EUR/USD: plan for the European session on July 2, 2019
To open long positions on EURUSD you need:
Euro buyers began to enjoy good data on unemployment in the eurozone, but after a slight correction, the bears returned to the market. At the moment, it is best to look at long positions on a false breakdown around 1.1273, with confirmation of divergence on the MACD indicator. Or open long positions immediately to rebound from a low of 1.1239. The main task of the bulls will be a return to the resistance of 1.1307, which may lead to an upward correction of the euro to the area of a high at 1.1338, where I recommend taking profits.
To open short positions on EURUSD you need:
Given that today there is no planned release of important fundamental data for the euro area, the pressure on the euro may continue in the first half of the day. The main task of the sellers will be the breakthrough of the support of 1.1273, which will increase the pressure on the pair and lead to a low of 1.1239 and 1.1207, where I recommend to lock in the profit. In the scenario of an upward EUR/USD correction in the first half of the day, only a false breakdown in the area of a resistance of 1.1307 will be a signal to open short positions. In a different scenario, you can sell on a rebound from a high of 1.1338.
Indicator signals:
Moving averages
Trade is conducted below 30 and 50 moving average, which indicates the formation of a bear market.
Bollinger bands
In case of an upward correction, the upper limit of the indicator in the area of 1.1340 will act as resistance.

Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) have continued their spread within inland lakes and rivers in North America despite diligent containment and decontamination efforts by natural resource agencies and other stakeholders. Identification of newly infested waterways by early detection surveillance programs allows for rapid response zebra mussel eradication treatments in some situations. Previous eradication treatments have occurred over a broad range of water temperatures which have influenced the efficacy of molluscicides. Natural resource managers will benefit from knowledge regarding the impacts of water temperature and exposure duration on the toxicity of molluscicides to zebra mussels. In particular, temperature specific data are needed to inform the selection of an effective molluscicide and the proper dose that will induce 100% zebra mussel mortality. We evaluated the influences of temperature and exposure duration on the toxicity of two U.S. EPA-registered (EarthTec QZ and Zequanox) and two nonregistered (niclosamide and potassium chloride) molluscicides to zebra mussels at water temperatures of 7, 12, 17, and 22 °C. Our results indicate that treatment options for the eradication of zebra mussels in waters ≤ 12 °C include 336 h or longer treatments with EarthTec QZ and KCl as well as treatments with niclosamide ≥ 24 h in duration. In waters ≥ 17 °C, multiple toxicant and exposure duration combinations are potentially effective for zebra mussel eradication. On-site or in situ zebra mussel bioassays are a useful tool for the evaluation of treatment efficacy.

Study to Evaluate Current Trends in Appropriate Usage of Tread Mill Exercise Testing
Non-invasive tests are used to diagnose and prognosticate Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) patients and also in pre-operative evaluation and rehabilitation. Millions of these tests are performed worldwide in these situations. However, previous studies have shown inappropriate use of these tests.
The study was to evaluate the appropriate use of treadmill exercise test.
The present retrospective study was done in Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital, Raichur and Institute of Medical sciences and RKB Super Speciality Clinic, Raichur, Karnataka, India. Tread Mill Tests (TMT) which were done between November 2013 and February 2016 were included in the study. A total of 600 tests were evaluated for appropriateness. Demographic, clinical and risk factors, indications were studied.
Overall 298 (49.66%) tests were found to be inappro-priate. Younger age, female sex, pre-operative evaluation, evaluation in master health check up and insurance were predictors of inappropriate use (p<0.05) in this study.
The treadmill exercise testing appears to be particularly vulnerable to overuse in clinical setting due to its wide availability, affordability and awareness. The inappropriate use of the method, however, may result in additional unnecessary cost to health care system.
The annual direct and indirect cost of cardiovascular disease and stroke in the United States is an estimated 320 billion dollars. Annually more than 10 million stress tests and approximately one million diagnostic cardiac catheterizations are being performed in US alone [1].
The most frequent indications for exercise testing are to aid in establishing the diagnosis of CAD, determining functional capacity, and estimating prognosis. The indications continue to evolve, with some that are uniformly accepted and others that are more controversial [2].
Earlier studies and meta-analyses reported accuracy of TMT for the diagnosis of CAD as defined by the gold standard of cardiac catheterization [3–6]. The sensitivity of TMT for detecting CAD is only modest, approximately 70%, while specificity is good (75%-80%). Addition of myocardial imaging to standard exercise testing increases sensitivity. These tests are used to diagnose and prognosticate CAD patients and also in pre-operative evaluation and rehabilitation. Millions of these tests are performed worldwide in these situations. However, previous studies have shown inappropriate use of these tests [7–10].
In an effort to respond to the need for rational use of these tests in the delivery of high quality care, guidelines have been proposed. Appropriate use criteria publications reflects an ongoing effort to critically and systematically create, review, and categorize clinical situations where tests and procedures are utilized by physicians caring for patients with cardiovascular diseases. The process is based on current understanding of the technical capabilities of the procedures examined, evidence base, and clinical experience [11]. ACC/AHA has earlier published exercise testing guidelines update [12].
Earlier study from Brazil has reported that the vast majority of TMT referrals in the assessment of CAD to be inappropriate. In their study, 78% of TMTs were rated inappropriate [13].
Appropriate use criteria in patients undergoing exercise treadmill testing has not been reported in Indian patients earlier. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of inappropriate cardiac exercise stress testing.
This study was conducted in Rajiv Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital, Raichur Institute of Medical Sciences and RKB Super Speciality Clinic, Raichur, Karnataka, India.
A retrospective study was undertaken, TMTs done between November 2013 and February 2016 were included. All were evaluated for demographic profile, clinical indications and risk profile. All TMTs were divided into three-groups. Group 1 was symptomatic with chest pain and was sub divided into known CAD (previous MI or unstable angina or revascularization), not a known CAD. Group 2 was asymptomatic group and was sub-divided into those undergoing for insurance purposes, master health check-ups and others. Group 3 was patients who were referred for pre- operative evaluation. The assessment of Cardiovascular (CV) risk was defined according to risk prediction of the WHO based on sex, age, blood pressure, presence of diabetes and smoking. Participants were then classified as low if CV risk was estimated to be <10% in 10 years, intermediate if between 10% and 20%, and high if above 20% [14]. Appropriate use criteria were adopted from ACCF/AHA/ASE/ASNC/HFSA/HRS/SCAI/SCCT/SCMR/STS 2013 multi modality appropriate use criteria for the detection and risk assessment of stable ischemic heart disease. Based on this, each test was classified as appropriate or inappropriate [11].
The primary analysis was the rate of inappropriate tread mill testing. Pre-specified sub-analysis included clinical predictors of inappropriate testing, continuous variables were compared with a t test and categorical variables were compared with Fisher's exact test. A p-value < 0.05 was considered significant.
A total of 600 TMTs were done during the study period, 200 in Group 1 (symptomatic), 310 in Group 2 (asymptomatic) and 90 in Group 3 (pre-operative evaluation). More males in Group 1 and 2 and more females in Group 3 were noted. Inappropriate usage was 20% in Group 1, 60% in Group 2 and 80% in Group 3 Overall 298 (49.66%) tests were found to be inappropriate [Table/Fig-1].
Characteristics of TMTs.
Younger age, female sex, pre-operative evaluation, evaluation in master health check up and insurance were predictors of inappropriate use (p<0.05) in this study [Table/Fig-2]. Presence of chest pain and multiple risk factors (male sex, dyslidemia, diabetes, hypertension, tobacco use) was more in appropriate use (p<0.05).
Appropriate and inappropriate usage of TMT/exercise testing.
NS= Not significant.
In this study we described the prevalence of inappropriate use of TMT. It appears half of the testing was inappropriate in our study which is consistent with earlier reports. Orsini et al., have reported inappropriate testing in their 960 prescriptions. The appropriateness was only 27% for exercise stress testing which was inferior when compared with vascular echography and echocardiography. They also noted appropriateness was better when diagnostic investigations were recommended by cardiologists [15]. Also another Italian study by Lorenzoni et al., have similarly reported that less than half of the prescriptions for non-invasive diagnostic tests were appropriate, appropriately prescribed exams were more often abnormal and useful [16].
In our study younger age, female sex, pre-operative evaluation, evaluation in master health check up and for insurance purpose were predictors of inappropriate use. In younger age population pre-test probability is low or very low and hence, they are more often inappropriate. Majority of patients in pre-operative evaluation were females having non-specific ECG changes. Most of the annual master health check-ups appear unnecessary, routine stress testing every year in relatively healthy population contribute to inappropriate testing significantly. We have also studied persons recommended for TMTs before medical or life insurance. The insurance companies rely on the premiums before recommending for TMT. Higher premiums are associated with recommendation for TMT and in this group the TMT are generally normal.
The multivariate model by Silva et al., showed that only being from the private health system was an independent predictor of inappropriate use of treadmill exercise test [13]. Neither the CV risk nor the presence of co-morbidities tested the logistic regression models remained significant after adjusting for health system.
Though it is encouraging to note that the prescriptions of cardiologists were more appropriate in earlier studies [15,16], but majority of diagnostic cardiac non invasive investigations are prescribed by treating physicians or family physicians in India. Even surgeons recommend non-invasive investigations pre-operatively to asses risk profile which in most studies appears inappropriate. The recommendation for a particular test appears to be dependent on its easy availability, cost and interpretation.
Irrational use of diagnostic complementary methods directly impacts health care spending. It was estimated that inappropriate use of treadmill testing added 3 million dollars in 2012 in Brazil's health expenditure [13].
The American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology Exercise Task Force have determined several categories of test indications drawn from a large body of published literature on exercise testing. Exercise testing should not be used to screen very low risk asymptomatic individuals because the test has limited diagnostic and prognostic value in this situation, and the resultant undesirable consequences of a false positive exercise test result might include unnecessary follow-up, additional procedures, anxiety, and exercise restriction [2].
There are limitations regarding generalization of our study. This is a single centre study with small sample size, representing local reality. There is need of multi centric large sample to represent national trends.
Non-invasive and invasive tests are available for diagnosis and prognostication of CAD. However, each test may be underused or overused if appropriate guidelines are not followed. Non-invasive tests like TMTs are available widely and are more prone to be used beyond the recommended guidelines due to lack of awareness about appropriate use criteria. There is urgent need to create awareness among referring physicians and to follow the recommended clinical practice guidelines and appropriate use criteria.

When I first started making more money than I was spending, I asked my partner to recommend someone to help me do my taxes. "You should speak to Sid," he told me. He does my taxes and he's good. Plus, he got rich as an accountant, and that's not easy to do."
Sid was his father-in-law. He must have been in his 60s back then, in the early '80s, but he looked older. He was tall and gaunt with an angular face and thin gray hair. He was shocked when he discovered how little I knew about money.
Perhaps for that reason he adopted an avuncular attitude towards me. He advised me on taxes, but that was just the beginning. He quizzed and lectured me on sales and marketing and business communication. And he advised me on investing, too.
"Why are you spending all that money on art?" he would exclaim. "It's just decoration! Just pictures on the wall!"
He failed to dissuade me from collecting art, but he was a big influence in helping me develop a philosophy of wealth building. "You're making good money now, kid," he said after I received my first big dividend. "But if you're not smart, you can lose that much and more with a single stupid move."
Sid had been a very aggressive businessman (as was his son-in-law). But when it came to investing, he was a conservative as one can be. He bought for himself and recommended to me only two asset classes: triple-A municipal bonds and Treasury bonds.
"What about stocks?" I frequently asked him.
"Stocks are for shmendriks and schmucks," he'd howl. "Bonds! Buy bonds!"
The Corona Economy, Part IV
War, Debt, and the Eve of Destruction
"I found this national debt, doubled, wrapped in a big bow waiting for me as I stepped into the Oval Office." – Barack Obama
In Part I of this series, we looked at our government's financial situation the way an investor would look at the financials of a business. The conclusion: From a P&L and balance-sheet perspective, it looks awful.
In Part II, we saw how much worse those financials are going to be at the end of this year: a bigger deficit (by $6+ trillion), a smaller GDP (by about 20%), a much larger debt (around $30 trillion).
In Part III, we rued the fact that these facts are not understood by 98% of the voting public, and are misunderstood and/or ignored by 80+% of our elected officials and the media that report on what they're doing.
And in case you'd want to be one of the 2% of the population that does have at least a basic understanding of how money works at that level, we provided an introduction to US fiscal and monetary policies (as we understand them). Today, we continue where we left off.
The Idiot's Guide to Monetary and Fiscal Policy in the US (continued)…
When our government spends more money than it takes in, it covers the difference (the deficit) by borrowing money. It does that through its Treasury, which sells bonds (government IOUs) for the dollars it needs for its overspending.
Treasury bonds are attractive to savers and investors for two good reasons. (1) They are generally considered risk-free because they are "backed by the full faith and credit of the US government. And (2) as "fixed-income securities," they provide the investor (bond buyer) a guaranteed return paid out on a predetermined basis.
Guaranteed returns by the world's largest and "strongest" economy? Of course there will be a big demand for T-bonds. Individuals want them. Banks want them. Pension funds want them. Even foreign countries want them. Not necessarily as a primary investment, but as an asset they can count on when everything else is in flux.
Whether the bond buyer is a retired plumber or a sovereign nation, Treasury bonds promise a solid foundation for any portfolio, providing a sense of security that's the next best thing to gold. Think about it. Holding T-bonds is like owning a share of America! So long as America doesn't declare bankruptcy, those IOUs will pay off.
A Wee Bit of History
The history of US debt is the history of its wars. Before the Civil War, the national debt was relatively modest, because before then there was no income tax. Wars were funded with sales taxes and the like.
The Civil War changed that. Between 1860 and 1866, the debt rose from $64.8 million to more than $2.7 billion, approximately $42 billion by today's standards. To keep the nation whole, President Abraham Lincoln pushed debt to nearly 30% of gross domestic product and introduced the first income tax in American history.
After that, every war led to ever-higher debt levels. WWI elevated the national tolerance for federal debt, bringing it to $27 billion. More importantly, Woodrow Wilson changed the way debt was approved. Congress's previous approach was to approve each bond sale individually. Wilson introduced the "debt ceiling," whereby the US Treasury was told how much it could borrow overall and the administration was allowed to manage the sale of individual rounds of debt. This law has remained in place ever since.
President Franklin Roosevelt made a big "contribution" to raising our debt through the New Deal, elevating borrowing to over $40 billion to fight the war against the Great Depression — nearly doubling the national debt when he took office.
WWII was the next big step in the history of US debt, with the government spending more than $323 billion ($5.8 trillion in today's money) to defeat Germany and Japan. Much of that money was borrowed. And between 1940 and 1946, US debt climbed from $42 billion to $269 billion, much of it held by individual Americans in the form of Treasury bonds.
But between 1965 and 1978, two more "wars" dramatically boosted the national debt. One of them, from 1965 to 1975, was the Vietnam War. The other one began in 1966 when Lyndon Johnson signed the Medicare program into law. Like the Vietnam War, it was a battle we would not win. But unlike the Vietnam War, the costs of fighting it have never ended or even diminished.
Since then, the national debt has not stopped growing. It grew under President Reagan and under George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. (Although the rate of growth slowed considerably after Clinton got Congress to enact tax increases early in his first term.) In the year 2000, our government went into the new millennium with a debt of $5.65 trillion.
Debt slowed a bit in the 1980s and 1990s. Then, on Sept. 11, 2001, President George Bush Jr. spearheaded yet another war – the war on terror. But the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq were not funded by additional taxes. They were funded by debt, growing at a rate of $400 billion to $500 billion per year.
The Great Recession of 2008 brought deficits beyond the $1 trillion mark. And under Obama, that continued, although it did diminish by more than half during the second half of his presidency.
Then, in 2018, Donald Trump was elected president. Many hoped he would reduce spending, but that didn't happen. Instead, he oversaw a deficit increase to $1.3 trillion during his first full year in office.
And now we have the war on COVID-19.
Bartering for Dollars
All of these wars since the Civil War have been funded by government debt. Initially, it was private citizens and businesses (and wealthy industrialists) that bought that debt. But in recent decades, it was foreign countries – countries like Germany, Japan, Saudi Arabia, and China – that were producing budget surpluses and looked at Treasury bonds as a safe haven for their extra dollars.
Germany was an early buyer of bonds. Japan became one soon thereafter. As the years passed, other countries became big buyers. When Saudi Arabia discovered it was sitting on an ocean of oil, it could think of no better way to save its excess dollars than by parking them in T-bonds, backed by the full faith and credit of the USA. After China abandoned government ownership of all businesses, it rapidly became a net surplus economy as well. And it, too, invested its extra dollars in US Treasury bonds.
Which is why you've probably heard some people say that the US dollar (and, actually, the American economy) has been supported in the last two decades by Germany, China, and Saudi Arabia.
But surpluses come and go. And about 6 years ago, China changed its priorities vis-a-vis saving its surplus wealth. It continued to buy Treasury bonds, but it also began to buy large amounts of gold. And perhaps more importantly, it began a massive investment in its own infrastructure and overseas ambitions.
"Luckily" for our government, large financial institutions (and particularly hedge funds) began buying (and trading) billions in US debt at the time. This increased the supply of dollars bidding for the T-bonds and, thus, kept the rates down to reasonable levels.
But in the last year, this supply of dollars diminished. That, and the continuing reduction in demand from China, put the Treasury in a terrible situation. If the supply got too small – less than the demand for dollars (our deficits) – it was possible that the Treasury couldn't keep up with its payments. That would mean a literally bankrupt USA. And that would mean the end of the world's economy, as we know it.
In Greek tragedy, the hero is sometimes saved by a deus ex machina – i.e., an intervention by the gods. For America, that came in the form of the Federal Reserve. To make up for the reduced demand from bonds from our traditional buyers, the Fed began buying bonds itself.
Now you may be wondering how the Fed can afford to buy bonds. After all, it is a semi-autonomous central bank that is required by law to balance its books.
Here's how Tom Dyson explains it:
"The Fed doesn't 'inject' money supply into the economy. Instead, it 'trades' it or 'swaps' it via transactions with the entities it's giving the money to. So, for example, if the Fed wants to give the government some fresh money, the government must give it some Treasury bonds. If the Fed wants to give a bank some fresh money supply, the bank must give it something in return."
It's called "quantitative easing." And that's how the Fed balances its books. It sits on a pile of collateral representing every dollar it has printed and "traded" for something.
Tom again: "Basically, the Fed is a bank that makes huge loans and takes collateral. And the collateral serves as its capital base."
That is all good and dandy so long as the Fed can unwind these trades when the economy has stabilized by returning the collateral and receiving the dollars back. But recently, the Fed has moved into uncharted territory – making loans whose collateral is questionable, at best. For example, the Fed has recently started accepting the equivalent of junk bonds as collateral. There's even talk of the Fed purchasing equities with its printed money.
Quantitative easing, as it was done after 2008, was a way for the Fed to help the banking system and lift the stock and bond markets. Back then, the Fed was giving dollars to banks and helping them grow. This was great for the banks and for Wall Street, but it wasn't good for the economy because the great majority of those QE dollars remained within Wall Street.
About a year ago, the Fed began doing something it hadn't done since April 1942. It agreed to monetize the government debt. The government's need for dollars was at all-time highs. But because the usual buyers of T-bonds (foreign countries and, more recently, hedge funds) were reducing their buying, a crisis developed in the Repo Market – a critical market where the government finances itself with short-term loans. There was a "shortage of dollars," as many analysts put it. A dangerous thing.
So what the Fed did was step into the gap and start buying T-bonds. Billions and billions of T-bonds daily to prevent interest rates from skyrocketing, which would then skyrocket US debt payments and put the Fed on the verge of bankruptcy.
As Tom put it:
"There are no more lenders. So the Fed is now being forced to assume the role of 'lender of last resort' to the Treasury… financing the US twin deficits and monetizing the Treasury's debt. All with printed money!"
Quantitative easing is problematic for many reasons, but it didn't erode the value of the dollar after 2008 because the stock market went bullish and stayed bullish until this year. The world and its economists, its politicians and its journalists took the rise of the stock market and the modest (3%) rise in GDP as a sign that the US economy could be trusted again. But what the Fed is doing now is different. It is not trying to save Wall Street. It is trying to save the Treasury itself. As Tom put it, this new strategy is "Project Argentina." [See "Worth Reading," below.]
On Friday, I hope to finish this series of essays on The Corona Economy. I'll talk about how this new desperately-seeking-recovery strategy will put our government in an impossible situation that can only be resolved by a miracle or a long and devastating economic depression. And how you can both gird yourself against economic disaster and, at the same time, invest in the miracle that could be.

This was a very important event in the history of Current 93, being the first actual appearance of the band (albeit under the Dogs Blood Order moniker) as well as being the point where David Tibet first met Steven Stapleton. Nurse With Wound was to play here as well, but pulled out of the show. Coil were also scheduled to play this show but did not. A collective called Produktion organised this event, and released the Equinox Event cassette tape of some of the music from the performance, including Dogs Blood Order (the track was entitled "Cease To Exist"). The Dogs Blood Order material also showed up on the Dogs Blood Order 10" bootleg. The performance was released officially much later on the Current 93 present: Dogs Blood Order EP.

Nice thin material but totally squat proof. Doesn't have very much compression like they advertise but still very nice. Swift leggings are better for my tiny waist, these I have to pull during workout. But still one of the best leggings I have ever had! Sadly it takes 3-4 weeks!!! to ship to Finland (they promise max 2 weeks)...
When I took the leggings out of the package, I was certain I ordered the wrong size. They looked tiny! I thought they weren't going to go above my knees nevermind my somewhat sizable thighs and bum. I gave it a go... and they fit perfectly! Super stretchy and sqaud proof. They stay in place and are very comfortable!
Black Signature Tights
The Tights are a little long me as I'm 5'5 or in Norweigen 164 but I made them work. They are perfect for running as they kept my legs warm. 100% squatproof. I now have 7 pairs of BARA tights that are my favorit tights now!!!
Sitter som støpt på kroppen, sklir ikke ned og er ikke gjennomsiktig 🙏🏻♥ elske denna ♥

It's always smart to remain vigilant when using an ATM. Regardless of the hour, mishaps do occur that can bring immediate danger…or in this particular instance, confusion.
Earlier this week, a man flagged down a police officer in Corpus Christi, Texas, with a strange tip: Along with dispensing money, a local ATM was also spitting out handwritten notes with the plea, "Please help."
This wasn't an actual tip, the responding officers thought. It had to be some gotcha joke, and if they fell for it, they'd suffer the brunt of the teasing. Nevertheless, they had a job to do, even if it made them seem foolish.
On their arrival at the Bank of America branch, they inspected the ATM and all appeared normal…until the machine started talking.
"Sure enough, we can hear a little voice coming from the machine," said Corpus Christi police officer Richard Olden.
