After a stroke the brain tries to protect itself by blocking all inflammation. However, this also makes the patient highly susceptible to infection which can lead to death. Researchers have now discovered the mechanism behind this response and how to possibly treat it.
The research is published this month in the journal Science.
Using a mouse model, scientists at the University of Calgary's Faculty of Medicine have discovered Natural Killer T-cells (NKT) are the immune cells that get activated in the patient after a stroke. The cells suppress the immune system as the body tries to prevent inflammation to protect the brain. The researchers have also found a new drug that can stop the NKT cells from suppressing the immune system, stopping the infections.
"When we discovered that these novel NKT cells are important in fighting infection in stroke, we were able to specifically target them. This means that infections can be controlled without having to administer high levels of antibiotics," says Paul Kubes, PhD, senior author of the study and director of the Snyder Institute at the University of Calgary. "This in its own right is important to avoid over-usage of antibiotics leading to development of anti-biotic resistant strains of bacteria."
Early indications are that NKT cells in humans behave very similarly to NKT cells in mice making this highly relevant to human stroke.
"The research does not cure the stroke itself," says Connie Wong, PhD , also a co-author of the study and member of the Snyder Institute at the University of Calgary , "But by providing novel therapies it holds the promise to significantly decrease death rates associated with stroke."
This research publication has recently been recognized by Faculty of 1000, a website for researchers that identifies and evaluates the most significant articles from biomedical research publications.
The research was supported by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR). Paul Kubes' research is also funded by Alberta Innovates -- Health Solutions.

You hear about the energy that fills that arena during a WWE show, and you think "oh of course" as did I, but thinking about the experience is completely different from actually being there. The moment you walk into that building the feeling you get being around all these other wrestling fans is beyond amazing. The way your heart jumps when that pyro goes off is fantastic and the atmosphere when the superstars and divas come out is unbelievable. I have been to two WWE shows so far. Monday night raw back in April and Friday night smack down in July. Being apart of these events, to me, is huge. It's something that I love to talk about, because lately WWE has become everything to me. WWE events are like none other. You are surrounded by everyone who is as much in love with something as you. You might not like the same people and you might not share the same opinions but you share the love for the sport. From the beginning i have been a huge supporter of wrestlers like John Cena, Randy Orton, Natalya, Edge, Bret Hart, Beth Phoenix and Maryse. The feeling that I got when i saw them in the ring is the same feeling I would get on Christmas morning as a kid. Excited, anxious, heart racing. These divas and superstars have become role models to me. I admire and respect them for everything that they do. John Cena has given me the mind set to never give up. The divas have reminded me that just because we are females does not mean we can't kick as much butt as the guys. I cannot think of any other time when i truly felt happy then when i am watching a WWE event and especially when I am inside an arena at a WWE event.

André-Jean Cuoq
Philologist, b. at LePuy, France, 1821; d. at Oka near Montreal, 1898. Jean Cuoq entered the Company of Saint-Sulpice in 1844, and two years later was sent to Canada. In 1847 he was put in charge of the mission at the Lac des Deux-Montagnes. So ambitious was he to fulfil well the duties of his ministry that in a short time he acquired a perfect knowledge of the Iroquois and the Algonquin dialects. His numerous works, all published at Montreal, gained him admission to many scientific societies of Europe and America. We have from his pen: "Le Livre des sept nations" (1861); "Jugement erroné de M. Ernest Renan sur les langues sauvages" (1864); "Etudes philosophiques sur quelques langues sauvages" (1866); "Quels étaient les sauvages que rencontra Jacques Cartier sur les rives du S.-Laurent?" in "Annales de philosophie chrétienne" (1869); "Lexique de la langue iroquoise" (1882); "Lexique de la langue algonquine" (1886); "Grammaire de la langue algonquine, insérée dans les mémoires [IX-X] de la société royale du Canada" (1891-92); "Anoct Kekon" (ibid., 1893); "Nouveau manuel algonquin" (1893). He wrote also many other works destined to further the christianization of the Indians.

Responding to Apple's most recent legal agreement governing the way apps are developed for the iPhone. Some popular apps have been written in Adobe Flash and converted to work on the iPhone; this is cumbersome, but at least it lets designers use the Flash skills they already have. I have no love of no love for Adobe, but I don't want a bigger, more powerful bully to beat up the annoying bully. I just want the bullying to stop.
This concept of what language something is written in is an insidious concept and strikes at the core of product development and of computer science in general. Everything is built on other stuff, the language provenance of which is often unclear. This language is fundamentally unreasonable, and un-enforceable.
Trying to control where something is originally done is attempting to control the thought process that yields a given result. Because if you thought of it in Java, and wrote it in java, and then, whether by hand or by tool, converted it to C, you are now outside the bounds of 3.3.1. —Hank Williams

A few weeks ago I started a series on Nehemiah. It is a favorite Old Testament book, but what stood out to me were the evidences of what a godly leader is and does as evidenced in the text. I will add three more posts and finish the series.
If you have been following along in this series about Nehemiah, you will likely recall that when we left the story Ezra had read from the book of the Law to remind the exiles of who they were and how they were to be living. When they heard about the level of their sin, the people became sorrowful. Nehemiah, however, reminded them of the need to be joyful and celebrate the truth they had learned and they set about celebrating the Feast of Booths. (Ezra also continued to read for seven more days!)
After the feasting and celebration, the leaders now focus on the sins that had come to light as a result of hearing the Law. What did they do? They led them in a confession of those sins before God. The lengthy prayer began with them praising God and then specific confession of their sins and the sins of their fathers. They made no effort to blame or shift the responsibility for what they had done and failed to do on God or anyone else. How hard that can be for us so many times.
It seems quite evident that hearing the truth of God and seeing His character evident in His mercy and loving-kindness brought them into a much keener awareness of their sin.
God's Word has a way of adjusting us to the right standard of His truth when we take time to read it. We should never look at the Word as a buffet we can pick and choose from to adjust it to our preference.
When the exiles heard God's words to them, they saw His everlasting love and were reminded of His promises of love.
When we first come to know the Lord personally, we are acutely aware of our sinfulness and find it relatively easy to confess those sins to Him. What may not happen as often is how we attend to daily time in God's Word and how that should not only lead us to worship Him, but also cause us to confess our sins that we can ignore or slough off without thought.
What we read informs our conscience of His love, mercy, and grace, but also His justice. What we read reminds us that our lives are meant to increasingly look more like Him and that can only happen when we are keeping short accounts with Him.
In this series, we have identified 5 characteristics of a godly leader so far. Here they are again:
- A godly leader prays
- A godly leader acts
- A godly leader faces opposition
- A godly leader cares
- A godly leader turns people to God's Word
The part of the story we have looked at today gives us a sixth characteristic to add to the list:
A godly leader confesses his sins and leads his people to confess their sins.

Now the Fed has little choice but to tighten policy by aggressively hiking rates to curb inflation. That materially increases the risk of pushing the economy into a full-blown recession.
For the average investor, it's hard to find a place to hide. Recessions are usually accompanied by outright bear markets, with stocks falling by well over 20%, and often by much more. And with the Fed now hiking rates aggressively, the bond market is no safe haven. Equities and bonds are riskier than usual, and surging inflation means that even cash under the mattress is losing its purchasing power.
What can Americans do? One answer may be to do nothing, and just try and ride out the volatility without trying to time the market. For those willing to lock up some money for at least a year, inflation-protected Treasury bonds could be part of the mix.
Consumers might consider cutting back on non-essential spending, especially avoiding splurging on big-ticket items. With recession storm clouds looming, it is a good idea to sock some money away for a rainy day.
And for job seekers, because recessions lead to major job losses, now is the time to update the resume and make any career moves while the job market is still hot. Keep in mind: The relatively secure jobs are with companies whose products or services customers need day in and day out — even during a recession — making such firms less vulnerable to the economy's troubles.
There will be more difficult economic news to come. And prudence calls for skepticism about any soothing words from the Fed, the Biden administration or Wall Street bulls about a hoped-for soft landing. But preparing ahead of time can help soften the blow.
Having missed the opportunity to raise rates last year, the Fed is now risking recession in order to tame inflation. As a result, realistically and objectively, it's time to be on guard.
Correction: An earlier version of this article misstated the direction in which the Federal Reserve must move on interest rates in order to curb inflation.

What can I Expect After Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty is an elective eyelid surgery often used to enhance the appearance of the eyes. Blepharoplasty is most commonly used to remove bags from under the eyes, reduce puffiness around the eyes, and improve the appearance of droopy or baggy eyelids. Though blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure, it requires a recovery period, like any other surgery. Though it may take weeks to fully recovery from the surgery, the first ten days after blepharoplasty are critical. During this time, patients may experience inflammation, dry eyes, light sensitivity, and blurry vision, along with the general effects of any type of surgery.
Blepharoplasty allows a cosmetic surgeon to remove excess fat, skin, and muscle from the eyelids both above and below the eyes. The procedure itself usually takes between one and two hours to complete. Blepharoplasty patients may be asked to spend a night in the hospital, depending on their cosmetic surgeon's preference.
After blepharoplasty, you may experience inflammation around the incisions. Excessive tearing, dryness of the eyes, and blurred vision may occur. You may also find that your eyes are sensitive to light immediately after the procedure.
In the first few days after blepharoplasty, you may need to apply ointment to your incisions to keep them moist. Cold packs can be used to reduce inflammation and eye drops can keep the eyes moist.
Patients are generally advised to avoid activities that lead to eye dryness and fatigue for at least ten days following the surgery. Reading, wearing contact lenses, watching television, and using a computer are all activities that surgeons recommend foregoing in the first ten days after blepharoplasty. The head should generally be kept elevated to minimize swelling and bruising after blepharoplasty. Stitches are usually taken out about seven days after surgery. Normal activities may often be largely resumed after the initial ten days of recovery have passed.
Your surgeon may recommend protecting your eyes with dark sunglasses for at least two weeks after blepharoplasty. Your eyes may become easily fatigued and you may need to take short naps often. You will probably be advised to avoid physical exercise during the entire recovery period. Crying, lifting, bending, and other activities that can augment blood flow to the area around the eyes should generally be avoided during recovery from blepharoplasty.
A full recovery from blepharoplasty may take several weeks. You may be able to minimize your recovery time by following your surgeon's instructions precisely, avoiding eyestrain, and resting the eyes often. Refraining from strenuous physical activity and crying can hasten recovery. You should be able to resume most of your normal activities ten days after surgery.
Discussion Comments
How long will it take for the tightness around the eyelid to go away after the surgery?

This week saw the signing of a variety of bills that came out of the Orca Task Force, put together by Governor Inslee to identify issues that could theoretically help save the resident Orca pod from extinction. While these bills are not the radical (yet realistic) idea of breaching the Snake River dams as many (including this blog) would like to see, they do address a group of problems that are facing recovery and protection of the Salish Sea.
Senate Bill 5135 was written to allow Department of Ecology to ban certain PCBs and PFAs which cause cancer and are found in high amounts in Orca bodies. They may be hampering the ability for them to have healthy offspring and also may impact their health. Toxic-Free Future was a champion of this bill. Congratulations to them and their supporters. This has been a long hard fight for many years.
Senate Bill 5577 pushes boats farther away from whales, mandating 300 yard exclusion zones. This is not as far as many in the Orca task force wanted, but is at least better than it is currently. There is huge pressure from whale scientists to push back even further, but the whale watch industry is too powerful for Inslee to override.
The bills digest is as follows:
Finds a person guilty of a natural resource infraction if the person causes a vessel or other object to: (1) Approach within four hundred yards of a southern resident orca whale; or(2) Exceed a speed greater than seven knots over ground at any point located within one-half nautical mile of the whales.
Prohibits commercial whale watching operators from approaching or intercepting within six hundred fifty yards in the direction of the whales.
Requires a commercial whale watching license for businesses engaged in commercial whale watching activities.Requires the department of fish and wildlife to implement a limited-entry whale watching license program for the inland waters of the state for all whale species.
What you don't see is an implementation of even greater enforcement in this bill. It is understood though that Fish and Wildlife may be getting a bigger budget do that.
House Bill 1578 – This bill strengthens our oil-spill prevention portfolio. As some may remember, this author and many dozens of other environmentalists helped push through the rescue tug at Neah Bay in the last decade, with the help of then Representative Van de Wege. This time, Representative Tharinger was part of the sponsors of the new bill. It's digest reads:
Creates new requirements designed to reduce the current, acute risk from existing infrastructure and activities of an oil spill that could: (1) Eradicate our southern resident killer whales;(2) Violate the treaty fishing rights of federally recognized Indian tribes;(3) Damage commercial fishing prospects;(4) Undercut many aspects of the economy that depend on the Salish Sea; and(5) Harm the health and well-being of residents.
Declares an intent to spur international discussions among federal, state, provincial, and industry leaders in the United States and Canada to develop an agreement for the shared funding of an emergency rescue tug available to vessels in distress in the narrow Straits of the San Juan Islands and other boundary waters.
Currently tankers bigger than 125k dead weight tons are forbidden inside the Strait, past Dungeness Lighthouse. Tankers from 40 to125K tons dead weight are allowed to operate with tug escort. Currently a huge threat is to tugs towing bunker and other fuels. Some have sunk, such as the barge that spilled out on the coast near Neah Bay some years back.
The new law forces these tankers and tug towing barges to have escort tugs starting in 2020. If the tug or tanker is empty, they do not need an escort tug.
The bill also strengthens the existing work being done on oil spill preparedness and establishes a new oil spill emergency response system with coordination between the State, U.S. Federal, Tribal and Canadian agencies. While there has been coordination before, this system is new.
There is a new reporting regime for oil processing facilities receiving crude oil shipments by rail, which will require them to report to the state these shipments and their routes. This may end up getting taken into court by the oil industry, as it's unclear to this author whether the State has authority to require this under current Federal law.
Bill 1579 – While part of this bill allows greater catch limits on predator fish:
The commission shall adopt rules to liberalize bag limits for bass, walleye, and channel catfish in all anadromous waters of the14state in order to reduce the predation risk to salmon smolts.
The real teeth in this bill is the work done by Sound Action and other environmental and tribal lobbyists, along with the Department of Natural Resources to implement much stronger rules and penalties for implementing bulk heads along the nearshore of the Sound. (full disclosure: this author is Board President of Sound Action as of this writing).
The conversion of shoreline to bulkheads has been going on with little scientific understanding of the scope of damage to the spawning habitat of forage fish. Forage fish are food for salmon and other larger fish. Sound Action has existed specifically to challenge improper or incomplete Hydraulic Permit Applications (HPAs) from DNR that affect this habitat.
UPDATE BASED ON GOVERNOR'S VETO OF ONE SECTION: While The bill was also helped through by a section on a series of three 'demonstration' projects inserted by Senator Van de Wege on behalf of farmers coping with flood plain issues in Watcom, Snohomish and Gray's Harbor County. Governor Inslee decided that these projects did not come out of the Orca Task force recommendations and were not in alignment with the needs of protecting fish habitat, but rather protecting farm land and exploiting river gravel. His veto of that section was in alignment with the opposition by environmentalists and Tribes because of the stated intention of the backers of the language to 'extract gravel' from these rivers. What is needed in the future to address these problems should involve something similar to a version of the highly successful Dungeness River Management Team, which brought together all the stakeholders on that river for the last 20 years to identify and then come up with appropriate solutions rather than leap to conclusions not based on science.
Anyone wanting to understand the work that the Dungeness River Management Team has done can view the short video I did for them a few years ago, on their 20th Anniversary.
The language that the proponents of Senator Van de Wege's bill wanted, was to simply move to solution, based on assumptions and not science. They need, as the governor pointed out in his veto to at least have to go through the process to create a team of stakeholders, not just from the farm community, but from individuals and state scientists to come up with appropriate solutions.
So all in all, congratulations to the organizations that spent hundreds of hours in the Orca Task Force, and thanks to Governor Inslee for getting this done and helping drive these key bills into law! We still have a long way to go to save the resident pod, and there is no guarantee any of these bills will actually turn the tide to restore them to health.

Breaking Gendered Boundaries in our Bones & our Crimes
The Moveable Feast returns for the spring, and we hope you'll join us for the first of our 2020 lectures/performances (Thursday, March 5 at 6:00pm at the Temple Mickve Israel), where Drs. Virginia Estabrook and Kate Perry will challenge us to examine how expectations about gender influence profound judgements about the political and personal worth of others. Dr. Estabrook will focus on Savannah's own Casimir Pulaski, exploring anthropologists' forensic attributions about Pulaski's gender–attributions that seem to have been unearthed with the very bones of this Revolutionary War general. Dr. Perry will shift the focus to contemporary issues and outline the experiences of women involved in human trafficking–discussing women as victims, perpetrators, law enforcement officers, NGO workers, and academics. Together these scholars will ask us to reconsider the worlds that are possible when we break the boundaries of gender.
If you have never visited the Temple before and would like a brief guided tour through this beautiful space and its museum, meet Dr. Daniel Skidmore-Hess at the Temple's side door entrance at 5:30 p.m. that same evening.
A reception will follow the lecture.

I'm on Talk Radio tomorrow morning just after 9am chatting to Paul Ross about this item.
People who only watch BBC shows on catchup will be legally required to have a TV licence from 1 September, when new legislation to close the so-called "iPlayer loophole" comes into force. Though the vast majority of households own a TV licence, those without one who only watch catch-up content and not live broadcasts were technically exempt from paying the £145 a year charge. The government had promised to close the loophole, which already costs the BBCabout £150m a year and is likely to increase, during negotiations last summer that also saw the corporation agree to shoulder the £750m burden of free licence fees for the over-75s.
Wonder what your thoughts are? I can understand why the BBC want to close the loophole on a commercial basis and that seems fair to me. But the actual License Tax is the problem. It MAY or MAY NOT be seen as good value but it is not a choice. What say you?

CMS Newsletter 6/10 (June 2010)
- A seminar was held by China MSA and local MSA in Shanghai.
- The representatives from shipowners, fuel suppliers and clean-up contractors attended the seminar.
- CMS sought advice on queries and comments raised by the IG as well as presenting our
own comments on the Regulations.
Dear Sirs
A seminar on draft Regulation of the PRC on the Emergency Prevention and Handling
Management of Marine Environmental Pollution from Ships was held by China MSA and
Shanghai MSA in Shanghai on June 13, 2010.
The participants included China Shipping, COSCO, Sino Chemist Stolt Nielsen, Dingheng
Shipping, two fuel suppliers, four Shanghai local clean-up contractors, China Marine
Services Co., Ltd and MSA people from China MSA and different local MSAs.
The common views hold by both shipowners and clean-up contractors are as
1. China MSA should release a model OSRO contract.
2. China MSA should have some guidance on the rate under the OSRO contract. The
rate should relate to the risk of different vessels such as oil tanker, chemical tanker,
LNG, LPG and bulk carrier.
3. The requirement on pre-contracting with OSRO in different levels should depend on
the risk of different vessels.
4. Long-term contract is recommended for the ports regularly visiting.
Moreover, the shipowners hope there is at least one clean-up contractor in each port who
can cover all the water area in one port.
Some clean-up contractors expressed that the requirement on the OSRO capability
should be higher.
CMS sought advice on queries and comments raised by the IG as well as presenting our own
comments on the Regulations
On the above-mentioned comments, China MSA's reply is as follows:
1. Model OSRO contract with essential terms will be released by China MSA.
Negotiation between shipowner and OSRO on the other terms is allowed.
2. It seems to be hard for China MSA to guide the rate under the contract.
3. Some articles in the draft Regulation only govern vessels with Chinese flag. For
example, Article 8 (emergency plan), Article 11 (anti-pollution material and
equipments) and Article 50&51 (revoke or temporarily withhold crew's competency
certificates or other relevant certificates)
4. The lists of approved OSRO, high pollution risk ports, poisonous hazardous liquid in
bulk will be released after assessment.

Construction Law
Roofing Contractors: Prepare to Answer These 4 Questions
The Orlando construction attorneys of Cotney Attorneys & Consultants are well-versed in construction roofing law. We have defended countless roofing professionals in construction-related disputes. We know how vital it is for roofers to be professional as well as competent when conducting business publicly and privately. Before your next client meeting, be prepared to answered the following four questions.
1. Are You Qualified?
Qualified roofing contractors are licensed, bonded, and insured. Never conduct construction business without a license, unless exempt. Contracting without a license puts you at risk for hefty fines and penalties. Get familiar with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), the agency that handles licensing and registrations for businesses and professionals. It is also important to have a list of credible references that can vouch for your qualifications.
2. Can You Provide a Written Estimate?
Be prepared to give written estimates. A detailed breakdown of the work you will do is critical. You will need to specify the terms and conditions, total project duration, cost, and the materials you will use. You should know what your fixed and variable costs will be which includes labor and supplies.
3. Will Subcontractors Help You Complete the Work?
Transparency is the key to avoiding unnecessary disputes. If other construction professionals will be helping you complete the project, you should be ready to disclose who they are. Owners will want to know who your subcontractors and suppliers are since they can be held responsible if the contract is breached.
4. Do You Provide Warranties?
Providing warranties is a wise way to do business. With the rise of defect claims, clients want to feel secure about what they are investing in. They want to know that you are willing to back up your work for a period of time should anything go wrong. Determine if you will offer short-term or long-term warranties to backup your workmanship, materials, and labor.

Radial Keratotomy
System Of Precise Predictable Keratorefractive Surgery, Correcting Astigmatism, Possible Side Effects
Radial keratotomy (RK) is a surgical procedure that reduces myopia (nearsightedness), or astigmatism (diminished focus) by changing the shape of the cornea—the outermost part of the eyeball. The procedure is particularly attractive to individuals who want to avoid wearing glasses or wish to be rid of the inconvenience of contact lenses. RK is a quick, relatively painless procedure that takes less than 30 minutes to perform; it is done on an outpatient basis. But while vision can improve immediately, the results may change, sometimes for the worse, over the following several months or years. RK was first attempted in Japan in 1939, then refined during the 1960s and 1970s in the Soviet Union, and first performed in the United States in 1978.
The cornea, the clear cover of the eye, and the lens work together to focus light rays entering the pupil onto the retina, the light sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. The cornea has a natural curve, and the greater the curvature, the greater its refractive power, that is, its ability to bend light so it focuses on the retina.
Normally, pressure inside the eyeball pushes the edges of the cornea forward slightly, flattening the central few millimeters of the cornea and reducing the amount of curvature. Candidates for RK have either excess curvature of the cornea or elongated eyeballs, both of which cause light rays to focus in front of the retina causing myopia. This makes objects at a distance appear blurry.
Astigmatism occurs when the surface of the cornea is not spherical in shape, but has an irregular contour. This makes it difficult to focus clearly on an object, causes a doubling or "ghosting" effect.
Keratotomy, which refers to cutting the cornea, corrects both of these problems by reducing the natural curve of the cornea and slightly flattening it. The reshaped cornea focuses light rays directly on, or very near, the retina, producing a sharper image.

Understanding Your Parallel Application with the Profiler and Scenario MarkersFriday, August 27, 2010 – 12:13 PM
I've been playing around with the Visual Studio Profiler top see if I could understand exactly where the bottlenecks in my application were and what was causing them.
The application (as usual) is my N-Body modeling code. In order to discuss profiling there's very little you need to know about N-body models. Suffice to say once the user starts the application it updates the model and periodically displays the results on the screen.
In order to keep the UI responsive and to ensure the best possible performance the application makes extensive use of the Task Parallel Library (for .NET) and Parallel Patterns Library (for Visual C++). This means that there are lots of threads running at once.
What are they doing and are they doing it efficiently? What follows is a short story as to why Scenario Markers are really, really useful…
The first challenge with any profiler is making sense of the deluge of information that is presented to you. The Visual Studio profiler is no exception.
Click on the image to see the full Visual Studio IDE. You'll see I've removed all but the threads which appear to be running my code. The highlighted block has a call stack which is in a call to DomainModel::MagnitudeSquared (my code).
But… there real problem here is not just the amount of information. When I'm profiling the basic question I'd like to answer is… what's the application doing (from a user perspective), what code executes as a result and how efficiently is it doing so?
From the profiler output as is I can see lots of work is being done but not how it relates to the individual model updates.
That's where Scenario markers come in…
What's a Scenario marker?
"A Scenario object is a highly-accurate timer that logs ETW events (Event Tracing for Windows) when you start and stop it. It's designed to be used for performance instrumentation and benchmarking, and comes in both C# and C++ versions."
Simply put its a way to add flags to your profiling data. Scenario markers are the Debug.WriteLine of profiling. Like WriteLine, adding scenario markers is very straightforward:
#if PROFILER
Scenario.Scenario marker = new Scenario.Scenario();
// Code...
#if PROFILER
// Code to include in this scenario...
#if PROFILER
marker.End(_domainModel.Size, "Application_ApplicationController_Initialize");
// More code...
The marker can take a long denoting the size of the scenario and a string as it's name. The name will appear in the profiler window when you mouse over the grey bar. I've placed my marker code inside if/endif blocks so I don't get it compiled into my final binaries.
That's about it. Now when you re-build and re-profile the application the threads view contains new information that provides more context as to what's going on.
In this example I added two markers one to show me calculation steps (the upper blue bar) and the second to show when it updates the display (the lower bar). If you look at the full screen shot (click on the image) you'll see this in more detail. I also used the measuring tool to get the length of a calculation, 32.8ms.
The problem is pretty obvious. The bottom set of bars denotes screen updates. These are relatively quick and occur more frequently than the calculation steps. In fact, on average I'm doing two screen updates for every calculation step!
Scenario markers have made a potential performance issue very clear. Doing a second screen update then the model hasn't changed is wasted work. I might as well skip that update completely as the model hasn't changed. Any saved processor cycles can be devoted to calculation instead.
Now if you look at the profiler thread view you'll see that the screen updates are happening much less frequently, roughly once per iteration.
This is just the start… Clearly there's a lot going on here and the worker threads seems to spend par too much time not doing useful work (i.e. not enough green). At least now it's possible to see what happens when in relation to each update of the model.
I've already made some improvements there by replacing some heavy weight code using Handles and Waits with lock free code which relies on .NET's atomic read/write guarantees and Interlocked.CompareExchange. This also improved the number of updates per second the UI could handle. Like the book says, "Locks are the gotos of parallel programming".
You can find out more about the using the profile and scenario markers at:
The scenario marker binaries are available on MSDN Code gallery.

Are You Sure That's Going To Fit?
We've posted photos on both our website and our Facebook page showing the VCI-300 nestled snugly inside the Remix backpack, so we couldn't understand his frustration when, with his voice pitched one notch below hysteria, Bob told us, "This thing doesn't fit my VCI-300. You lie."
"You must have Photoshopped them. It doesn't fit. You lie. This is false advertising." Bob's anger now escalating.
Not wanting to even get into the subject of why it would be stupid of us to lie about whether or not a certain piece of gear would fit into our bags, we asked him to follow along with us and we would get his controller into the bag within 60 seconds. Bob was still disbelieving but willing to play along.
There was a moment of silence, then "Oh… I didn't know there were hinges or that you could lay it flat. Never mind… thanks."
How cool is that?
We know… And this is just one of a plethora of practical and unique features about our bags that make our customers say, "Namba Gear rocks!"

L. Neil Smith's
Number 209, February 3, 2003
Frankly My Dear ...
Exclusive to TLE
My 13-year-old is home schooled.
My wife and I have always tried to supplement whatever education she receives from the online institution of learning that she attends cybernetically, with whatever else we believe is valuable. Last month, for example, I formally introduced her to Mr. Marion Michael Morrison, beginning, for reasons that seemed right and proper to me, with True Grit. I'm working up the courage to show her The Cowboys and The Shootist. This month it was Gone with the Wind, which we were happy to find on an inexpensive double-sided DVD in a bargain pocket at Wal-Mart. Just to put things in perspective, it was produced in 1939, in the same year, and at the same studio, as The Wizard of Oz. And like The Wizard of Oz, it stands up to six decades with very few signs of aging.
I hadn't seen the movie myself, not from end to end, for more than 30 years, when a mid-1960s revival brought a very scratched and grainy print to a townie theater during my bright college days. I think there were scenes in this version I didn't see back then. I was surprised at how much of it I remembered (extended stretches of dialog verbatim, for example) as I watched it this time. Then again, I've always believed it to be the best -- meaning the most complete -- movie ever made.
Notice I didn't say "film", a genre reserved for pretentious and boring black and white European wastes of celluloid you have to sit through at the student theater if you expect to receive the attention from female liberal arts majors that you, er ... crave, at the party afterward.
I know, with regard to history, that Gone with the Wind has its faults. I've never read Margaret Mitchell's celebrated novel. (I began to, once, while on vacation, but got interrupted by the invasion of Grenada.) I'm sure it tells the reader more about what happened and why. The movie makes no mention I noticed of the real reasons for the War Between the States. There are allusions to northern insults on the south, and enough blather defending slavery to satisfy even the most uncritical Ken Burns fan. But nothing of tariffs, or the right to free trade, or that fundamental human exercise of free association we call secession. Blacks eagerly toil for their homeland, but none of them in uniform.
We never see the massive earthworks and siege engineering that wrecked the countryside around the great southern cities the way Saruman destroyed the countryside around his own establishment. We never see northerners descend on the south like the Nazi hordes they presaged.
Nevertheless, for a long time, it was the best picture Americans had -- short of Matthew Brady and D.W. Griffith -- of the unprecedented carnage the world's first total war produced. I watched my daughter, instead of the screen, when we got to the shot of Scarlett O'Hara when the camera pulls back and back to reveal more and more dead and dying bodies, until the entire picture fills, from top to bottom and side to side with war casualties and the tiny handful of Samaritans attending them.
My daughter reacted as I thought she would, her horror profound but thought- provoking, rather than mind-numbing. I'm not sure why, but it made a difference to her that they were all human beings up on that screen -- extras -- rather than the figments of industrial light and magic that she's acquainted with from other, more recent blockbuster movies.
At the end of the shot, I said, "Abraham Lincoln did that," and my daughter nodded, well aware of the revisionist struggle I've involved myself in over the last decade, to properly identify the 16th American President as the spiritual predecessor to Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler that he was, and to categorize Grant and Sherman with Himmler and Eichmann. Brought up the way she has been, she doesn't need to be told (as some adult scholars and writers apparently do) that preserving an imaginary political construct isn't worth the loss of a single human life.
For me, the most interesting part is watching Scarlett, from the first third, where we learn to despise her for the shallow, selfish, self-destructively obsessed little animal that she happens to be (you keep saying to yourself, "I can't believe she really did that!" like you do with Julia Roberts' character in My Best Friend's Wedding), until she grows something resembling a character in the school of hard knocks and we discover that we respect her energy and courage, even if we never quite come to like her. If I were religious, which I'm not, I could easily wake up every morning thanking God that I'm not married to a woman like Scarlett O'Hara, but I do find the character endlessly fascinating.
My daughter was surprisingly unmoved by Clark Gable -- she's more the Viggo Mortensen type. The limp and languid Ashley Wilkes always makes me want to toss my cookies -- er, make that pralines. This time around, speaking of excessive sweetness, I found Miss Melanie a bit of a pain in the ass. So, I think, did my daughter. But I was proud when I asked the inevitable, "Do you think Rhett went back to Scarlett?", she answered, in effect, "Not enough information -- but who would want to?"
My daughter loved True Grit and managed to stay up extra late through Gone with the Wind. I have sometimes been known to lament my hubris in having brought a happy, beautiful child into what often seems an increasingly crappy world, one in which I haven't yet been able to make a significant difference. Once, when I said that during a convention, the kindly and thoughtful Butler Shaffer pointed out that, like his own daughters, mine has not been raised to be anybody's helpless victim, and that she'll doubtless go on to make her own damn difference.
More and more I believe he's right.
Over the past decade, I've gradually come to see that the only way any of us will ever see anything resembling a free country again begins with utterly destroying the paralyzing myth of the "Civil War" (it wasn't) and the "Great Emanicipator" (he certainly was not). The real pity is that the only place today, within popular culture, where kids can get anything remotely resembling the truth about the most significant event in American history is in a 64-year- old romantic tragedy.

I am particularly interested in VHF propagation under Sporadic-E conditions. Sporadic-E is a mode of propagation via the ionosphere that like its name implies is sporadic in nature. Normally the E-layer of the ionosphere only permits fairly low frequency operation. But when sporadic-E conditions prevail VHF communications can be made by single hops of 700 - 1500 miles even though this part of the ionosphere is normally unable to sustain such high frequency communication. Through interpretation of data in the findings of amateur experimenters, I have hypotheisized that the sporadic-E mode of propagation owes its existence directly to clouds of micrometeoritic particles that are orbiting the sun, basically following the same paths as comets. The meteoritic hypothesis has not been successfully challenged. But neither has it been universally acclaimed.

Add color with Kantha
These one-of-a-kind embroideries are created with material and thread from castoff saris and dhotis. Usually layered in three plies, the cloth has a quilted feel that adds to the surface interest of the designs. And the fine stitchery in geometric patterns and folk motifs makes each piece a true work of art.
No two examples of kantha cloth are exactly alike, because each stems from the inspiration and skill of an individual artisan. So when I include kantha in a chair or sofa, I'm creating something that is not only visually and texturally fascinating but also completely exclusive. No one else can have quite the same thing.
I love to include a bit of foreign intrigue in my designs. And few places exude more exoticism than Bengal, India where the women have been sewing original kantha cloth designs for centuries. Often used for shawls, blankets, or covers for boxes and mirrors, kantha also makes brilliant upholstery fabrics.
By adding kantha to a pillow, ottoman, or even a larger piece, you can spice up a furniture grouping or a whole room. I think of it as the special ingredient in a great recipe. And like any intense flavor, even a little can go a long way. So try a dash yourself, and you may find it's just to your taste.
Kantha brings the cultural heritage of a faraway place close to home. As a world traveler myself, I appreciate the cosmopolitan stamp it puts on furnishings. And whether you're a genuine globe-trotter or an armchair adventurer, it can be your passport to a different look, a different style, a different world.

Driving for Better Communication Leads to Better Courier Routes
Get to work, pack up deliveries, drive (a lot!), make deliveries, finish the day. Repeat. With a job that keeps you constantly on the go, it is difficult to find time to talk through issues with team members. Courier drivers in the Northwest experienced ineffective communication, low morale, and low UBT effectiveness. The need to revamp routes to increase efficiency brought to the forefront these underlying issues. Through improved communication and collaboration, the team was able to create a healthier work environment and optimize courier routes.
Here's What Worked
- Brainstorming ways to encourage use of email system, including instructing and coaching one another on the system
- Diversifying its communication methods, including the creation of a communication board with information about the projects the team is working on, notes from UBT meetings and a copy of the department's weekly e-newsletter, "Heads Up"
- Changing from a representative UBT to a general membership UBT with regularly scheduled meetings throughout the region, so that all employees are able to participate
What can your team do to give all UBT members a voice? What else could your team do to encourage personal and team growth?
Read the Full Story
improvement in morale within three months. Perception of communication improved by 48 percent and UBT effectiveness by 21 percent

Newly-leaked surveillance footage from the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi appears to show a man walking around in the writer's clothes in Istanbul after his killing.
CNN aired the footage on Monday, citing a Turkish official as describing the man as a "body double" and a member of a 15-man Saudi team sent to Istanbul to target the writer.
CNN said the man walked out of the consulate via its back exit with an accomplice, then took a taxi to Istanbul's famed Sultan Ahmed Mosque, where he went into a public bathroom and changed back out of the clothes and left.
The state-run broadcaster TRT later also reported that a man who entered the consulate building was seen leaving the building in Khashoggi's clothes.
Earlier, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman called Khashoggi's son to express condolences for the death of the journalist killed at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul by officials that allegedly included a member of the royal's entourage.
King Salman similarly made a condolence call as international pressure on the kingdom continues to rise, even after it acknowledged on Saturday that the Washington Post journalist was killed October 2 at the consulate under still-disputed circumstances.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that he will "go into detail" about the Khashoggi case in a speech in parliament on Tuesday.
Saudi Arabia's explanation that Khashoggi was killed in a "fistfight" and 18 Saudis have been detained has been met with international scepticism and allegations of a cover-up designed to absolve Prince Mohammed of direct responsibility.
Turkish media reports and officials said a 15-member Saudi team flew to Istanbul, laid in wait for Khashoggi at the consulate and then cut off his fingers, killed and dismembered the 59-year-old writer.
"Why did these 15 people come here? Why were 18 people arrested? All of this needs to be explained in all its details," Erdogan said.
The state-run Saudi Press Agency announced the calls to Khashoggi's son, Salah, early on Monday morning. Statements from the agency said both King Salman and Prince Mohammed express their condolences for his father's death.
The call comes after a leaked photograph apparently taken from surveillance footage shows Maher Abdulaziz Mutreb, a member of Prince Mohammed's entourage on trips to the United States, France and Spain this year, at the consulate, just ahead of Khashoggi's arrival.
Mutreb's name also matches that of a first secretary who once served as a diplomat at the Saudi Embassy in London, according to a 2007 list compiled by the British Foreign Office.
Saudi Arabia so far has not acknowledged or explained Mutreb's presence in Istanbul - nor that of a forensics and autopsy expert, also on hand for Khashoggi's arrival at the consulate.
Turkish news agency Anadolu Agency reported Sunday that Khashoggi's fiancee, Hatice Cengiz, has been given 24-hour police protection.

Russia's most active protesters may be its least active voters, according to a new study.
Of the 10 Russian regions where the highest percentage of the overall population took part in the March 26 anti-corruption protests, nine had a voter turnout below the national average during the Sept. 2016 parliamentary election. In other words, the lower the turnout was for last year's vote, the more people came out to protest on Sunday.
These conclusions come from a new report by the Sigma Expert agency. To measure the number of protest participants in each city, the company's researchers took the Interior Ministry's protest turnout data, combined it with the turnout estimates from the protest organizers themselves and then worked out the mathematical average between the data sets. They then compared the figures with electoral turnout data.
The researchers found the cities with the largest protest turnout (as a percentage of the local population) to be Makhachkala, Smolensk, Komsomolsk-on-the-Amur, Chita, Vladivostok, Perm, Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, and Novosibirsk.
All had below-average electoral turnout, with the exception of Makhachkala. The North Caucasus city – capital of Russia's Dagestan republic – had an 88-percent turnout in September.
The appearance of anti-corruption protests in Makhachkala came as a surprise to many observers. The republic is hardly known as a bastion of political freedom. Nonetheless, according to the study's estimates, 350 people took part in the local protests.
However, the Makhachkala anomaly may be explainable, according to elections expert Andrei Buzin. Dagestan's local authorities are known to have artificially increased electoral turnout in several instances, he told the Vedomosti newspaper.
Sigma Expert also measured how the protesters were mobilized. The company found that the March 26 protests differed significantly from the Bolotnaya anti-government protests in winter 2011-2012.
During the Bolotnaya protests, Facebook – a platform preferred by educated, urban residents – was the main mobilizing tool. In 2017, Vkontakte, Russia's most popular social network, became the center of mobilization.
Of the 20 cities with the largest protest turnout on March 26, only half had Facebook groups dedicated to protest mobilization. All 20 had Vkontakte groups. Moreover, no top bloggers – excluding opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who called for the protests – promoted the rallies.

The Screen Hotel Kyoto
September 15, 2017
A quasi-hipster hotel in Kyoto? Why not. Due to refactoring dates we decided to stay at the Screen during our first night in Kyoto. We were not disappointed.
We arrived by Shinkansen.
Lobby design is a strong point at the Screen. In fact, design plays a major role everywhere on the property.
Room 202 is a special category room with a nice layout.
Sadly the shower has a shower curtain. Alas.
For dinner, NPS decided to dine on some Italian pizza at Pizza Salvatore which has outstanding pies made the Italian way. Pizza has cheese. Cheese is good (as are truffles and prosciutto). The staff yells "Buona sera" when you walk in.
On our way back home, we stopped by a local bar for some Shochu. Yoshi and his bandmate were fun company indeed. Drink Local!
The next day, we visited Fushimi Inari. Japanese shrines are incredible, and this one is top of the heap.
We also had some outstanding ramen near the Nishiki Market.
Four showerheads and a glass shower upgrade for the Screen Hotel in Kyoto.

Discover the Pearl of Africa; today Uganda Safaris and Tours have opened a new Africa Safaris chapter in world tourism and Uganda, the undiscovered pearl of the African Continent, pure and unaffected by mass tourism; is a favorite hot spot of tourist destinations for Gorilla trekking / Gorilla tourism, safari holidays, wildlife tours, cultural tours, walking & nature safaris, vacation holidays for adventure and Luxury travel packages.
Many people refer to Uganda as the 'real' Africa and it is easy to see why. Stunning scenery, friendly people, primates and fantastic activities combine to make Uganda holidays an exciting prospect for adventure travelers. The country is also a gateway to Rwanda – home of the magnificent yet endangered mountain gorillas. A cruel legacy of internecine warfare had left Uganda with bleak tourism prospects; however, the firm government has made the country a jewel in East Africa's tourism crown. The source of the White Nile, Lake Victoria provides one of the best one-day white-water rafting on this or any other continent. And there's a good infrastructure too, which makes traveling easy despite the distances being long. 4DAYS TREK MOUNTAINS

In the old days, I could've just driven a jar over for you Rand, but I resist having to get a passport to go to Canada. I could try tossing one over the border?ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh I can just hear the air force alert now, "Incoming pickle!" lolDelete
I love it!! Great blog!ReplyDelete
O Linda, I never knew you were a pickle girl like me! My mouth is watering...I wish I was closer as I would be round to test them.... I have always loved pickles but when I was pregnant with the kids I had a total craving and used to get up in the night, open the fridge and munch through a few! I love the idea of using the vinegar from a shop bought pot. You have been my "teacher" today and your drawing is brilliant. Love this post! Have a sunny weekend, we're getting up to 30c today..wahoo!ReplyDelete

I find that old people make a lot of stuff up.ReplyDelete
Very cool illustration, though.
Thank you for teaching how to make pickles! ;-)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousAugust 18, 2012 at 10:03 AM
I love those old guys who can toss you a comment so out of nowhere. As you say the ones who have lived a little while do have a lot we others can learn from. What a saying, lifting one's weight in wild cats. I am sure he would appreciate a jar of those pickles. Thanks for the recipe - and have a nice weekend!ReplyDelete
Great line...makes me think it would've been great to stay awhile longer and have him explain that statement! But wow, what a great post about pickles! I am bookmarking this, Linda. You've taught us well. Also, thanks for your keen eye today..I am grateful!ReplyDelete
That is a great line. My garden failed this year and a I had a crazy, really hungry rabbit to deal with, so no pickles this year. I like bread and butter pickles, they remind me of my grandmother. I usually make refrigerator pickles, but your bread and butter brine looks yummy. I'll have to give it a try. Looks like I'll have to get cucumbers from the farmers market this year ;)ReplyDelete
Haha Linda, yes I was reading that and I thought gee I am salivationg - especially when I figured out what 'cukes' were. I nevere ever ever knew that. (That they made me hungry) See visit Hensely and see what you learn, You know, I went to a freind's sixtieth the other night - there were all groups of his friends there. Ther was the 'artr' crowd, the uni crowd and the 'rich' crowd. You could tell the rich crowd because all the wives had interesting faces - kind of swollen and wrinkless and aged about 26 - but they were stuck on necks and heads and bodies that belonged to sixty year olds. So what can you learn from old people - don't have plastic surgery :)ReplyDelete
Hey your fishing ties are beautiful and delicate http://www.artbyhensley.com/Fine_Art.html
see you soon
ahh sorry about the typos - that's just so you know it was me :)ReplyDelete
Thanks everybody! Between a deer and a groundhog, I didn't get very much from my garden this year so I had to buy my produce, but it's kind of fun to buy from old guys like this. And thanks Andrew. I'm feeling kind of happy that my parts are aging in unison. It's good when we can think of good things about not having money!ReplyDelete
I had absolutely nothing for teacher. I can usually dig something up. Thanks for teaching us about pickles. And passing on the recipe. I have some super spicy homemade dills in the fridge right now.ReplyDelete
I'd wager that old guy might be able to lift his weight in wild pickles... They're much less squirrelly.ReplyDelete
You, yourself seem to know quite a lot as is evidenced by your weekly posts... ~~be careful you don't turn into an old guy by surprise!
thanks for the pickle lesson.
"Lift my weight in wild cats..." hmmmm.....a colorful statement, just like that beautifully rendered cucumber! Another great post! Have missed your blog since the new format if IF - but I'm all subscribed-up now!! There'll be no getting rid of me! ;)ReplyDelete
There can never be enough pickles in the world, right?! Thanks for the comments everyone!ReplyDelete
I'm happy you found me again Mit, and thanks for the follow!!
Yes, you should definitely go back and give him a jar of pickles, and maybe hang out a little bit and talk.ReplyDelete
I didn't feel much like writing about teachers either, or do anything with art related to teachers. My "excuse", if I needed one, which I don't, is that I AM a teacher, and I'm too busy this week because school just started, and I have a ton of planning, and already stacks of things to read, and I don't even know half of my student's names yet.
But next week......
Special pass given to teachers this week! I appreciate your work and wish you well this school year. Though I'll be looking forward to what you do next week Coreopsis :)ReplyDelete
Quite the excellent rendering of the pickle, Linda! Thanks, too, for the recipe :)ReplyDelete
Mmmm, bread and butter pickles! So summery! Love your w/c cuke- Thanks for sharing your pickle recipes! :o)ReplyDelete
Happy to spread pickles around. Thanks for the comments!ReplyDelete
