A 23-year-old girl presented to our department with a 1 month history of an embedded tick on her right clavicle. The patient had no fever, chills or other systemic symptoms. Physical examination revealed a live tick that was stuck very firmly to the skin of the right clavicle area and was seen to swing its feet [Figure - 1]a. Erythema was noticed around the attachment site [Figure - 1]a. Initial laboratory investigations were unremarkable. To avoid leaving the mouthparts of the tick embedded in the skin, a limited skin surgical excision including epidermis and dermis of diameter and depth of 4 mm to 6 mm of the entire area around the bite was performed to remove it completely. Histopathological examination showed a tick body full of blood with the mouthpart embedded in the upper dermis, with necrotized skin tissue around it [Figure - 1]b. Vessel dilatation and neutrophil infiltrate in the dermis were also observed [Figure - 1]b.

Ticks are blood feeding external parasites which can cause local and systemic complications, including Lyme disease, tick-borne-encephalitis, tick-borne lymphadenopathy, secondary bacterial skin infection, reactive manifestations against tick allergens and granuloma formation. [1] During 3 months of follow-up, our patient did not show any systemic symptoms indicating that she just suffered a tick bite but did not acquire any tick-transmitted diseases.
Any tick found should be immediately and completely removed alive. Many methods of tick removal have been reported in the literature. Topical application of 2% erythromycin and 3% tetracycline preparations are ineffective in eliminating Borrelia burgdorferi from the tick bite site or in preventing dissemination to other tissues. [2] Limited surgical excision is an appropriate and safe tick removal technique and could remove the tick completely [3] without provoking the escape of infective body fluids from the tick into the wound site.
Persons who have undergone tick removal should be monitored for up to 30 days for signs and symptoms of tick-borne diseases. Tick numbers and tick-borne diseases should be regularly monitored in areas with a high risk of tick attacks.

Fever (1999) is a modern psychological thriller with the mood of a noire film. The story centers around Henry Thomas, starving artist and adult ed art teacher, who lives in a dump of an apartment building. When he finds that his landlord was brutally murdered during the night, he is not completely sure he didn't do it while sleepwalking. As more murders are committed, he increasingly looses his grip on reality. We see the world through his point of view, which is very claustrophobic, and frequently muddled and confused. Some of the shots of New York are very nice. It was written and directed by Alex Winter (Bill of Bill and Ted), and mostly succeeded. I found the ambiguous ending a little disappointing. Critical opinion was divided. IMDB readers have it at $5.6 of 10. After brief attempts at the festival circuit, it went to VID.
The exposure is provided by Marisol Padilla Sánchez ( L.A. Confidential / Traffic / Dementia) as his figure model and girlfriend, where she shows all three Bs. It must have been my mood, but I was totally caught up in the story, and trying right along with the character to figure out exactly what was going on. Your mileage my vary. C.
Left Luggage (1998) is an oddity, in that it did very well on the festival circuit winning several awards, then bombed with the critics, but found a popular audience with IMDB readers giving it 7.3 of 10. The story concerns several Holocaust survivors and their children living in Antwerp. The main character is Chaya (Laura Fraser), a young college student, and every bit the modern girl. Her parents did not raise her to be religious. HE father turned his back on his heritage after the war and tried to forget, while her mother buried herself in baking cakes, and weaving to forget. A wise Jewish friend gets her a job as nanny for a Hasidic family, thinking it would be a valuable learning experience for her.
She has a hard time putting up with the rules of the house, but falls for their 4 year old son, who has not yet spoken. She sticks it out, and finds a way to get along with the mother, played brilliantly by Isabella Rossellini. The experience had something of the desired effect, as she gained understanding of her heritage. This was clearly seen in a scene where she and her best friend go skinny-dipping. In the course of the conversation, her friend finds out that she is Jewish, after making some rather rude anti-Jewish remarks, and instantly becomes an ex best friend. Both she and the girlfriend (Heather Weeks) show all three Bs in a quick and mostly blurry swimming scene. The title comes from the fact that her father put everything important to him in two suitcases, and then buried them, when escaping the Nazis. Only now, he would like to find them again, as he is ready to remember the past, but he can't find the location. The title is also symbolic, of course, for the emotional baggage that the families portrayed are carrying around.
It is a slow paced, gentle story, and the character of Chaya, and several others are quite likeable, so the story involved me emotionally, so the tear jerker ending had full effect on me. Admittedly, not for everyone, but if you like character driven drama and have any interest in the culture, you might want to try this one. C+
Forbidden (2002) is a straight to vid softcore that mostly got it right. The plot is typically simple. At his bachelor party, the grooms best friend hires two strippers, but he declines to have sex with them. He sneaks out of the party, meets a young woman outside the hotel, and ends up having a night of perfect sex with her. Cut two years into the future. He and his wife are obviously not still in bliss mode. The are to spend a few days with the same best friend and his date. Who is the date, but the same girl he has never forgotten from his bachelor party night. He wants the girl, she want shim, and his wife, it turns out, wants lots of men, and has had several.
There are two naked strippers in the opening scene in poor light that I did not bother with, but Renee Ria as the dream girl, Tracy Ryan as the wife, and Inari Vox as a flashback first lay for is friend all show the three Bs. IMDB doesn't seem to have discovered this one as yet. The film has naked women on screen in good light for most of the running time, and some of the sex scenes sizzle. The sound track is not as overpowering as is the norm, and they used very little fancy camera work and reasonably normal lighting. The only real problem was lots of motion blur, and some focus problems, but with the constant exposure, there were plenty of clear frames to choose from. Plot, D, but overall, the film delivers what we watch soft-cores for, so C.

A Russian film. A region 5 disk, although it also plays on my region 2 dvd-rom drive. Now you're probably thinking how did ICMS come up with that. Well, about six weeks ago on a Russian nude celebs site I stumbled upon some vidcaps of a naked actress in some very intriguing situations. The film was this year's "Vojna" (war) and the actress was Lithuanian born Ingeborga Dapkunaite. Some of you may recognize her from Seven Years in Tibet and Mission Impossible starring Tom Cruise. The film only premiered in Moscow on March 14, so I had practically no hope of finding it on DVD already. But then I found Russian "internet-magazin" www.rushall.ru and they had it on their opening page ! Although the website is in Russian only and I don't understand a word in Russian I finally did manage to click all the right buttons and the DVD arrived at my doorstep straight from St. Petersburg. Now let's take a look what the film is about.
So "Vojna" means war in Russian and we're dealing here with the war in Chechnya between the Russians and the Chechens. The movie starts with soldier Ivan Yermakov (Aleksei Chadov) telling us his story in flashbacks in what looks like a prison room. We see him arrive in a Chechen camp just when the Chechens are cutting off another soldier's head. We see how the Chechens mistreat their prisoners continuously and hold them captured in very bad conditions. Then we see John (Ian Kelly) and Margaret (Ingeborga Dapkunaite), a British couple, brought in. They're Shakespeare actors and were captured near the border with Georgia. They're put in the same hole in the ground as the other prisoners, among them a from the waist down paralyzed Russian army captain and a Jewish businessman, where they all have to answer nature's call in the same bucket in the same place. Luckily this is not shown explicitly in the film.
Our soldier is also the only one who speaks English and therefore Chechen warlord Aslan needs him to surf the net on his laptop, another proof that Al Gore didn't invent some mind numbing thing but something that stretches the mind. We also find out -and this is for me the most interesting part of the movie- why the Chechens are fighting the Russians. We learn that the Chechens have their spies in all places in Russia and have people abducted for ransom to finance their war. At this point Aslan realizes he won't get much money for a simple soldier and an actor and decides to set Ivan and John free so they can raise the money. If they're not back in two months he says he'll rape Margaret and then cut her head or ears off.
We then witness how Ivan and John each go their own way. Ivan returns to his hometown in Siberia after having visited the captain's family in St. Petersburg. John goes to England to the Ministry of We don't give a damn about our Citizens and ends up selling everything he owns to raise the money. He also accepts money from a TV-station and in turn he has to film the whole deal. Those are the black and white images seen throughout the movie. Then he goes back to Moscow and heads for a ministry there but they refuse to help him as well. Ultimately he heads for Ivan in Siberia and pays him to help liberate Margaret. Together they travel trough Russia where we get a picture of corruption on every level in that country. I sincerely hope it isn't as bad as pictured here. But worse, they find no-one willing to help them on their mission.
So our two men decide to take on the Chechen rebels on their own armed with only one shotgun. They coerce a Chechen to help them, so our trio is now ready to free Margaret and the captain. They succeed in doing so but on their return they're attacked by the Chechens and nearly defeated. Then it's time for the deus ex-machina thing, a satellite phone with which they call the Russian army for help. This army was pictured as not very effective earlier in the movie, but this time they're here in a tick to assist our little group successfully. By now the film that had started more or less as an analysis of the Chechen war and a sociological study of Russian society has turned into an full scale action movie with explosions and helicopters everywhere. It is fully clear that the director, Aleksei Balabanov, has become a true Russian patriot and there is is no longer room for the Chechen POV, "all Chechens are bandits".
While he's at it the director also gives a huge sneer to our "justice" societies. Ivan is well and truly in prison as we suspected from the start. The reason: when he fought the Chechens with John he was no longer a soldier but a civilian. And we can't have civilians taking the law into their own hands, can we. He ends up as the accused and the accusor is the Chechen whom he coerced to help him. We see that the other side can abduct people, beat and mutilate them and rape Margaret in total impunity. When he does similar things to liberate hostages after having asked in vain the authorities for help, he becomes the bad guy in our system. You know what I read in the paper the next morning after I watched this movie? "Husband of pestered teacher threatens pupils and faces court action". I wasn't surprised. Fiction and reality came together.
The movie lasts 120 minutes and although at times more of a caricature, I was never bored and wanted to know the outcome. As you can see in the raw vidcaps the pictures are all nicely composed and well lit. The action scenes in this sometimes violent movie are always realistic. There are no holes in the plot either and the actors all do a more than decent job. The film is rated 8.3 in the IMDb with only 23 votes. I would rate it around 7.3 or B.
The Nudity:
Ingeborga Dapkunaite has two nude scenes and not much else. In her first nude scene she had previously asked for a bath. Now the Chechens didn't have much bathing facilties in their camp, so they dragged her to a whitewater river and pushed her in the icecold stream with a rope around her neck. We hear her crying in terror but by the look on Ingeborga's face I had the impression she liked it. She is apparently a respected stage actress turned movie actress, so one can only admire that she accepts such a minor role with practically no dialogue in which she has to be stark naked in a chilling mountain river. Her second nude scene occurs near the end when she's liberated from the hole. Apparently the Chechens had just raped her and she is found still very weak but stark naked covered in mud and some fake blood under a blanket with the army captain on whom she had a crush. Our heroes drag her out of the hole naked as jaybird of course. A real trooper our Ingeborga. I can't wait for a remake set in Afghanistan with Julia Roberts playing Ingeborga's part.
Viktoriya Smirnova plays Ivan's girlfriend in Siberia and shows breasts and buns while getting out of bed.
The DVD itself is a splendid anamorphic widescreen transfer with beautiful menus. The picture is clear and sharp, the sound is DD 5.1 and DTS and there's even an audio commentary by Aleksei Chadov in DD 5.0 ! The commentary track however, like the extra's, has no (English) subtitles, so I couldn't understand a word of it. There's also a copy protected Sony CD with the soundtrack that refuses to play on your computer. The only downsides are the lack of English subtitles on the commentary and the extra's and the exorbitant price, certainly for Russian standards. Shipment included I paid over 40 Euro for this DVD and other DVD's aren't much cheaper in Russia. I would have expected quite the opposite in a country where people's wages aren't exactly high.
That's it for now. I hope that my little incursion into Russian cinema was interesting enough to please you.

Rehearsing for a career
Growing up in a century where it sometimes seems everyone wants to be a star, to find 15 minutes of fame via YouTube or reality TV, the stark truth remains: Not everyone can make it. There's only so much room at the top.
But there's a vast network of pyramid supporting those at the pinnacle. Within the wide world of entertainment, lucrative and rewarding careers can be found around and behind the scenes, operating tech equipment, writing and playing the songs, designing decor, aiming cameras and microphones at focal points.
The Tuscaloosa Fine Arts Academy, going into its second year, offers a number of paths for students hoping to work in creative fields, whether they're heading to college after high school, or right into a career, but it's not just a bunch of kids singing and dancing down the halls, a la "Fame."
It's a logical outgrowth building on success of the Alberta School of Performing Arts: Those graduating the K-8 school can continue studies. The Tuscaloosa Fine Arts Academy is an alternative for those who might have otherwise transferred to Birmingham's Alabama School of Fine Arts, but don't want to move, or can't handle that school's tuition.
"Our goal is to try to connect students into something arts-related, if that's their choice," said Jeff Schultz, fine arts coordinator of Tuscaloosa City Schools. "We wanted to make sure there was a pathway for them in high school, providing high-level training and focus, with lots of variety and experiences in the arts."
Raising public awareness
The Tuscaloosa Fine Arts Academy, housed at Paul W. Bryant High School but open to students within the city school system, focused on starting students down paths in music, dance, theater, writing and visual arts for its first year. For 2018-19, raising public awareness will be among priorities. Musical or performing ensembles, especially from the commercial music track, will seek chances to play age-appropriate venues such as the Druid City Arts Festival or Live at the Plaza, to show off the students' progress, and raise the Tuscaloosa Fine Arts Academy profile.
"Not a whole lot of people know it's there," Schultz said. "We moved so fast, we're running to catch up."
Located on the southwest of town past Woodland Forrest, Bryant High doesn't enjoy center-of-the-city sort of visibility.
"It's a difficult thing, because we want the public to be involved, but it's hard to get anybody but families to come to school events. So we think we'll take them out to the public," Schultz said.
Most Tuscaloosa Fine Arts Academy faculty are full-time certified within the school system, stemming from varied backgrounds in the arts. Thomas Furlough, who runs the recording technology track, gigged his way through college, and later with the Army.
"Right now, there's a huge amount of resistance in doing commercial music," he said. "A lot of people don't think there's any academic validity to it. But there are keyboard and guitar players in Nashville just as musically sound as any horn player coming out of school."
Furlough paid tuition and other costs of living playing bass, working studios, and with famed musicians including the Temptations, Brian McKnight and Lee Greenwood. He's spanned symphonic scores in concert halls to contemporary church services at First United Methodist to Dixieland-style jazz with local trio the Voodoo Saints.
"I couldn't have done that playing clarinet," he said.
He works with Lauren Brown, who came to Bryant as a band director, but who developed guitar and songwriting skills while "living her dream," Schultz said. Between them, Furlough and Brown helped create Studio 106 for recording work. Opened in 2003, Bryant High was built with a 500-seat theater, classroom attached. For the Tuscaloosa Fine Arts Academy, they've added on visual arts suites and a dance studio, and made modifications to the instrumental rehearsal room. The school's vocal/choral class moved into the hallway the Tuscaloosa Fine Arts Academy populates.
"Last year being the first year, it was not the guinea pig that people kind of assumed it was," Furlough said. From Brown's and his pro experiences, "We knew knew exactly what we had to do, as far as curriculum and equipment were concerned. We worked on getting students in the right places, then we hit the ground running."
Focusing on fundamentals
The inaugural Tuscaloosa Fine Arts Academy year enrolled about 90, most zoned for Bryant. The upcoming year should instruct about 160, with some recent graduates from Alberta, and Eastwood Middle School. Students take Tuscaloosa Fine Arts Academy classes in blocks, with each of the four year-long programs stairstepping students along. For example, musicians focus on commercial instrument performance in the first year, then step up to songwriting and music theory for the second.
"We'll teach them how, whether they're listening to Mozart or Bruno Mars, there are fundamentals across the musical world," Furlough said. "Some call it formula; we call it rules."
Then third-year musicians will focus on recording and studio techniques, with fourth and final years revolving around compiling portfolios, preparing to share that with the world, whether it's to segue into a college program, or seek work.
"It's what musicians would call the hustle: getting your music out there," Furlough said.
Along the way, they'll learn how to set up sound systems, run light shows, and be conversant with other tech in the field. Those in the dance track will train not only in varying styles, but learn choreography, and management of companies and studios.
"There are additional components built into every layer," Furlough said. A friend of his works running monitors for country star Luke Bryan, earning a healthy living from it. He's an excellent guitarist himself, and can and will step up on stage during setups to bolster on-stage sound, but his day -- and night -- job is running monitors.
'I only come to school for this class'
Beyond purely vocational, practical aspects, the Tuscaloosa Fine Arts Academy meets the needs of students who might not be athletes, or more typically studious. One of Furlough's seniors shared with him a joking but truthtful statement: "Man, I only come to school for this class."
In preparing Tuscaloosa Fine Arts Academy, Schultz and others studied members of the Arts Schools Network to see how they handle currciula and schedules, how they track learning progress.
"(Arts schools) seem to be kind of a national phenomenon, but with Alabama not holding arts education in high regard, our educators work on groundswell advocacy," Schultz said.
About a decade back, as the economy tanked, already-sparse state funding for the arts shaved even tighter, he added.
"As a teacher, I remember feeling the arts were not at all important to the school system. I remember feeling arts as a whole were just going to get cut," he said. Despite the cuts, arts educators pushed forward, hoping visible results will begin to bring public opinion, and thus funding, back around to healthier levels.
"When you see what (arts education) does for the students, it's hard to deny the need," Schultz said.

Most cellular behaviors and functions rely on cell signaling. A direct approach to detect this event is to record cellular electrical potentials that are associated with various ionic kinetics during signal processing. It has been shown that a wide range of high profile diseases, such as epilepsy, episodic ataxia, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's, may result from dysfunction of voltage-gated sodium, potassium, and calcium channels. Although qualitative knowledge of the motions of these ions has been well studied, a quantitative understanding is still missing because of the lack of tools that would allow high-spatiotemporal-resolution sampling of ion motions inside cells. My group is dedicated to developing a soft electronic interface for cells and tissues. This synthetic electronic interface will have similar mechanical properties to the biology, and can organically fuse with the target cells and tissues, which will not only result in higher signal to noise ratio but also longer recording time than conventional rigid and bulky recording systems. This five-year project aims to develop an innovative cellular interface that is composed of an array of highly sensitive three-dimensional field effect transistor (FET)- based sensors on a stretchable substrate. We use this innovative cellular interface to test the hypothesis that ionic kinetics, including the speeds of ionic diffusion through ion channels in the cell membrane, ion drift driven by ion pumps, and inter-cellular signal propagation, entail crucial quantitative information associated with disorders of electrogenic cells, such as neurons, cardiomyocytes, and electrically excitable endocrine cells. The sensors can simultaneously record different positions of a single cell or among different cells in a cellular network, thus enabling us to measure and calculate the time- or speed-related kinetic factors of the ions (i.e., the time at which the ions move in or out of the cell membrane and the speed at which they do, respectively). Also, using an FET design, we can amplify the recorded signal directly at the targeting location, realizing as much as ten-fold signal amplification. Furthermore, we can differentiate the specific ionic species that are actively functioning inside and outside of the cells by coating the surfaces of the FET sensors with phospholipid bilayers that have the corresponding ion channels, allowing the specific ions to permeate the cell membrane, which would result in a change in electrical potential that could be recorded by the FET sensors. The information acquired will help gain new insights in cellular communications, with profound implications for brain sciences, cardiac physiology, and clinical practices. !
Conventional intracellular electrical signaling tools are not designed for sensing cellular activities either at different positions of a single cell or among different cells in a cellular network, which is essential for deciphering the propagative and communicative behaviors of electrogenic cells' (e.g., neurons) signals and determining the mechanism and treatment of progressive neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease. To overcome these challenges, we propose a 3D array of intracellular sensors featuring a field effect transistor configuration that is highly sensitive, accurate, and scalable to record both intra- and inter-cellular electrophysiological events in a cellular network. !

This program, originally called simply The Youth Involvement Program, is the brainchild of AAA Board member Marilyn O'Neil. Created in 2011, the program pairs young accordionists between the ages of (roughly) 13 and 25 with peers who play other instruments. The non-accordionist youth are recruited from the area where the AAA's annual festival is held.
Music is distributed ahead of time. The youth come together at the festival to rehearse and perform at the awards ceremony. The group's primary focus has been jazz. It has given all of the young musicians an opportunity to expand their musical experience and learn how their respective instruments sound when performed in unison.
Since 2011, the group has performed under a number of esteemed conductors, including Eddie Monteiro, Joe Cerrito, Don Gerundo, Vladimir Mollov, and Bob Vitale. For the last 2 years, a former young participant and new AAA Board member, Mitch Guido, has taken up the baton and has been designated as permanent Conductor.
Last September, the program was renamed in honor of Waterbury native, jazz accordionist Bob Vitale, an active accordionist until his death in 2017. Bob was a beloved music teacher to hundreds of Waterbury area students, including Marilyn O'Neil.

The AAA Junior Orchestra was created in 2012 at the request of one of our youngest competition participants in 2011 - Cody McSherry. At the Farewell Breakfast meeting, he wanted to know why there was no orchestra for kids!!
Well, that sparked Mary Tokarski to organize the first-ever Junior Orchestra for the Festival in 2012. It was a smash. The Repertoire ever since has included movie themes, rock and roll, to accordion classics and classical, and we have had participants from around the world (New Zealand, Canada, Lithuania) in addition to our students from all over the United States. Each year, the participation has increased . . . not only in numbers, but in the quality and excellence of the final performances. After just 2 one-hour rehearsals (and sometimes 3), the orchestra has wowed the audiences at the Awards Concert each year since 2012.
The program continues, and we are expecting even more surprises in the next years, so stay tuned!

Do you've gotten an previous Nintendo Wii sitting round amassing mud? At the very least do you've gotten a Wii Nunchuk Adapter for the Wii-mote? You would possibly be capable of get just a bit extra use out of it due to merchandise just like the Pi Zero 2 W.
In the Raspberry Pi subreddit, Redditor tonystark29 determined to share a enjoyable little undertaking he is taken benefit of with a Pi Zero and the Nintendo Wii Nunchuk accent. A battery-powered mouse! It's a neat little undertaking that does not really look too laborious to do with the proper gear and gear set.
"… I used one of those small Rii brand keyboards, but it's a PITA to carry my phone, the PiChuk, and the keyboard all in my pockets, " tonystark29 defined within the Reddit thread.
Admittedly, yeah, carrying all that stuff in your pocket only for a single utility on a tool like that may be a bit overkill. What he did find yourself utilizing it for is only a easy mouse interface for scrolling via information and Reddit posts, which is way extra sensible. Likely the identical factor we would do, particularly if we went searching via our lengthy record of nice retro-related articles.
While the Reddit person did say he wrote his personal mouse drivers in Python, the {hardware} for meeting is fairly accessible, even when you should 3D print a brand new case. The following is the record of the mandatory {hardware}.
- Wii Nunchuk
- Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W
- Adafruit Powerboost 1000C
- Holy Stone 2 x 3.7V 750mAh Lipo Battery
- HDMI ribbon cable meeting
- Female customary HDMI
- Male Mini HDMI
- 10 cm Ribbon Cable
Using thes, the directions, and 3D mannequin you'll be able to print that's out there from Thingiverse, and you can also have a neat new mouse refurb of your Wii Nunchuk. Note that as a result of provide chain shortages which have existed in electronics worldwide Pi Zero 2s are extraordinarily laborious to come back by. However, that is nonetheless completely possible with the earlier technology Pi Zero, the one actual distinction being that the Pi Zero is barely bigger than the Pi Zero 2. This innovation and utility is simply the most recent within the lengthy line of many very cool tasks we have seen come from the micro-computing and maker area. We like to see the ingenuity of individuals and hope to see far more sooner or later!

(Bloomberg) — Some of the world's biggest derivatives brokerages criticized plans to offer bitcoin futures and options on U.S. exchanges, telling regulators that the contracts have been rushed to market without proper consideration of the risks.
The Futures Industry Association, whose members include Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:GS)., JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM). and Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C)., detailed its concerns in a letter to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Wednesday. The association said there should have been more discussion about margin levels, trading limits, stress tests and clearing before the contracts were given a green light.
CME Group Inc. (NASDAQ:CME) and Cboe Global Markets Inc. were the first bourses to approve bitcoin derivatives, paving the way for mainstream investors to participate in a volatile and largely unregulated market that some have called a bubble. Cboe will start trading futures on Dec. 10, while CME's contracts are set to debut on Dec. 18. The exchanges were allowed to offer the products after pledging to regulators that they comply with the law, and the contracts will be subject to CFTC oversight…

YouTube was started in 2005 by three former PayPal employees namely, Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. Originally, YT was designed to become a dating site platform. It was intended to upload videos to tell about what is a person's ideal partner.
The idea of YouTube came also from the desire of these trio founders to make video sharing online easier. The name "YouTube" means "You" refers to the users and "Tube" which is an old term for television. Their inspiration to create this project was the videos of Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction and the tsunami in the Indian ocean.
It was Valentine's Day of 2005, that YouTube trademark, logo, and domain registered. Eventually, the purpose of YouTube then became a video uploading site for the users to introduce themselves and their interests without any restrictions. However, it was later on developed to broadcast more general topics and information.
Now YouTube has become the biggest and foremost video distribution platform on the internet.
Notable timeline of YouTube's history
- The first video uploaded on the site was "Me at the Zoo" by Jawed Karim himself in April 2005. In this clip, he shared the characteristics of elephants.
- The beta version was launched in May 2005.
- In September 2005, the first video to hit 1 million views was a Nike promotional video.
- In December 2005, Sequoia Capital, a venture capital company, invested $3.5 up to 11.5 million to YouTube which had greatly helped it to develop more features.
- In June 2006, YouTube included its content verification program to ensure that there will be no copyright infringements be committed.
- It was in June 2012 that YouTube was merged with Google Video.
- In December 2012, the Gangnam-style video was the first clip to hit 1 billion views.
- The free-ad access to content which is the YouTube Premium was started in November 2015.

We present the second of two articles on the small volume fraction limit of a nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard functional introduced to model microphase separation of diblock copolymers. After having established the results for the sharp-interface version of the functional ([8]), we consider here the full diffuse-interface functional and address the limit in which e and the volume fraction tend to zero but the number of minority phases (called particles) remains O(1). Using the language of G-convergence, we focus on two levels of this convergence, and derive first- and second-order effective energies, whose energy landscapes are simpler and more transparent. These limiting energies are only finite on weighted sums of delta functions, corresponding to the concentration of mass into 'point particles'. At the highest level, the effective energy is entirely local and contains information about the size of each particle but no information about their spatial distribution. At the next level we encounter a Coulomb-like interaction between the particles, which is responsible for the pattern formation. We present the results in three dimensions and comment on their two-dimensional analogues.

Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is widely used as treatment option for brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVM), however the extent of it's role remains undefined. Research to date is gathered collectively from groups which consider SRS, embolisation and microsurgery as a single interventional technique or from reports in which SRS is provided as a secondary treatment. The evidence for SRS is representative of an accumulation of techniques and thus inconclusive for the individual contribution of SRS. The aim of the systematic review was to establish the role of SRS as a primary treatment in the obliteration of AVMs. An extensive literature search was conducted on Embase, CINAHL and Pudmed databases. This was followed by a rigid, pre-defined screening of the collected literature. For all included studies SRS was provided as a first and primary treatment for multiple grade BAVMs in an adult population. Statistical analysis was completed using Comprehensive meta-analysis software and was also accompanied by tabular summary and narrative analysis. 11 Studies were included in the final analysis. Despite an I² statistic of 71.87 for heterogeneity results indicated a trend supporting the role of SRS as a treatment, particularly for the obliteration of smaller BAVMs. Due to a small sample size in result analysis it was advised to interpret results with caution. Considering the non-invasive approach of SRS it may also hold a major advantage in treatment of large, deep BAVMs (IRSA 2009). The review identified the need to establish correct dose contributions for various BAVM sizes and grades. It also revealed that consistent reporting is strongly advised particularly for considerations such as age and pre-treatment embolisation. Future research is vital and necessary to establish the therapeutic advantage SRS may play in AVM obliteration and to compare its efficacy against alternative treatment modalities such as embolisation or microsurgery. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z A COMPARISON OF SOFT TISSUE AND BONE TO VERIFY TREATMENT POSITION FOR LUNG CANCER PATIENTS RECEIVING RADICAL RADIOTHERAPY. https://eresearch.qmu.ac.uk/handle/20.500.12289/9633 2021-03-11T14:35:04Z 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z A COMPARISON OF SOFT TISSUE AND BONE TO VERIFY TREATMENT POSITION FOR LUNG CANCER PATIENTS RECEIVING RADICAL RADIOTHERAPY. Introduction Two-dimensional (2D) kilovoltage (kV) imaging is currently used in the department for positioning lung cancer patients prior to non-stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR). With enhanced visualisation of soft tissue using three-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), its use in non-SABR lung radiotherapy is highly recommended. Prior to its introduction in the department, matching to bone, carina and tumour was assessed retrospectively in CBCTs collected as part of a service evaluation and compared to the current 2D kV protocol of matching to bones. This determined which anatomical landmark provided the optimum treatment accuracy. The feasibility of introducing CBCT imaging as routine protocol was also assessed. Method In this quantitative study, five radiographers conducted automatic and manual matches to bone, carina and tumour in 88 CBCTs of 20 patients. For each of the 2600 match positions, couch shifts were recorded in the anterior/posterior, left/right and superior/inferior directions. Tumour coverage was graded at each match position according to target volume margins. The level of agreement between automatic and manual matches and the percentage of couch errors out with clinical tolerance (5mm) were calculated for each matching method. The feasibility of CBCT imaging was assessed by examining inter-observer reliability, reporting difficulties in the matching process and comparing the time taken to match to CBCTs compared with 2D kV imaging. Results Paired t-tests demonstrated a highly significant difference in the couch position when tumour was matched to instead of bone (P<0.001). Tumour matching detected the highest proportion of set-up errors out width tolerance (26.1%), followed by carina (19.05%) and bone (18.41%). Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated tumour matching had the lowest levels of automatic and manual matching agreement. Using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), all matching methods demonstrated either good or excellent inter-observer reliability (ICC 0.871-0.957). Problematic matches were reported in 20% of matches and timings were comparable (four minutes) with 2D kV imaging. Conclusion This study supports the introduction of CBCT imaging and matching directly to tumour as routine protocol for all non-SABR lung cancer patients. Visual inspection of the tumour is highly recommended after automatic matching to ensure target coverage, with the use of the carina as a guide when problematic matching occurs. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z TURNING THE CORNER: A MIXED METHODS INVESTIGATION INTO THE RADIOTHERAPY INFORMATION NEEDS OF GPS https://eresearch.qmu.ac.uk/handle/20.500.12289/7711 2021-03-11T13:31:34Z 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z TURNING THE CORNER: A MIXED METHODS INVESTIGATION INTO THE RADIOTHERAPY INFORMATION NEEDS OF GPS Background: NHS cancer strategy emphasises delivery of integrated care across primary and secondary environments. However, previous studies highlight a radiotherapy knowledge gap amongst GPs. Aims: To identify the radiotherapy information needs of GPs and explore how these needs can best be met by a large regional cancer centre. Methods: A 10-item questionnaire developed by the researcher was distributed via email to all 123 practice managers in a single health board. A subsequent email to practice managers was used to recruit volunteers for semi-structured interviews to add depth and detail to questionnaire findings. Results: 93 valid questionnaires were received in the four week data collection period. Although 95% had cared for a patient undergoing radiotherapy, only 4% agreed that radiotherapy information was easy to access. Confidence in indications for emergency radiotherapy (65%) and indications for palliative radiotherapy (64%) were highest, while confidence in how radiotherapy interacts with other treatments (2%) and in managing acute side effects beyond skin reactions (14%) were lowest. 70% of GPs reported having radiotherapy education, and this was correlated with confidence in explaining radiotherapy (p= 0.013), discussing long-term side effects (p= 0.036) and indications for palliative radiotherapy (p=0.02). GPs emphasised a preference for easily accessible electronic information, and suggested the addition of radiotherapy information to an existing platform. However, they also emphasised a perceived division between specialist and primary care. Conclusion: The integrated care outlined in NHS cancer strategy is challenged in practice by lack of knowledge and an underlying perception among GPs of fragmentation of care. This affects patients and should be addressed as a matter of priority both with straightforward electronic information provision and more complex strategic interventions. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z CAN IN-VIVO DOSIMETRY ENHANCE CURRENT PRACTICE IN VMAT HEAD AND NECK TREATMENT? A retrospective service evaluation assessing the use of in-vivo dosimetry as a tool to assist in the implementation of an interventional rescan. https://eresearch.qmu.ac.uk/handle/20.500.12289/7712 2021-03-11T13:32:16Z 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z CAN IN-VIVO DOSIMETRY ENHANCE CURRENT PRACTICE IN VMAT HEAD AND NECK TREATMENT? A retrospective service evaluation assessing the use of in-vivo dosimetry as a tool to assist in the implementation of an interventional rescan. Background Patient positioning during a course of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) can be verified and corrected on a daily basis using image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) which can account for patient misalignment but not for dose discrepancies due to anatomical changes. The use of adaptive radiotherapy (ART) where the plan is adapted to the anatomical changes during the course of treatment due to these changes could be enhanced by utilising computed tomography (CT) geometrical data and dosimetric data. This retrospective service evaluation aims to address this by assessing the use of in-vivo dosimetry as a tool to implement ART. Methods The methodological approach to this small scale service evaluation was quantitative. Random sampling technique was applied as the subjects were chosen from a population who received treatment to head and neck using VMAT technique. Retrospective in-vivo dosimetry analysis was carried out on patients who underwent an interventional re-scan during treatment to their head and neck. Deformable image registration was applied to the weekly cone beam computed tomography (CBCT's) in order to assess the dose to the 'actual' patient anatomy. The dose was calculated as a percentage dose difference (%DD) between planned and actual anatomy for comparative purposes in this study to assess the evaluation outcome. Results The %DD between the planned anatomies as measured by the in-vivo software versus the dose calculated using the treatment planning system at all reference points for each of the eight patients were calculated. The resultant means of patients 1-5 (rescanned and not re-planned) versus patients 6-8 (re-planned) were analysed for significant difference at all reference points. The resultant p-value at reference points C1 and C3 was 0.08 and 0.07 respectively. C5 position compared similarly to the isocentre position with a value of 0.25 whereas C7 was poorest with a value of 0.62, due to the poor accuracy of DC at this point. Conclusion Statistical results proved a weak relationship between the %DD of the deformed (changed) and planned (presumed unchanged) anatomies meaning ART could not be implemented based on these results. Whether in-vivo dosimetry can be used to aid the decision to implement a rescan was proved to be ineffective. There was no significant difference detected between the rescanned and not re-planned patients and the re-planned patient. 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z
