There are many stories, theories and possible locations about the lost continent of Atlantis.
But Atlantis is not the only ante-diluvium world that disappeared in the sea.
In accordance with other stories there was another continent or island that sunk in the ocean in ancient times called Lemuria or Mu.

1. Timaeusand Critias, two of Plato's dialogues, are the most prominent ancient records which specifically refer to Atlantis. Plato wrote several dialogues conversations between Socrates, Hermocrates, Timeaus, and Critias.
The story of Atlantis was conveyed to Solon by Egyptian priests. Solon passed the tale to Dropides, the great-grandfather of Critias. Critias learned of it from his grandfather also named Critias, son of Dropides.
2. The Oera Linda Bookfrom Holland (Frysia) is said to be one of the oldest books ever found. It tells of the destruction of the large Atlantic island by earthquakes and tidal waves.
" During the whole summer, the sun hid itself behind the clouds, as if unwilling to shine upon the earth. In the middle of the quietude, the earth began to quake as if it was dying. The mountains opened up to vomit forth fire and flames. Some of them sunk under the earth while in other places mountains rose out of the plains... Atland disappeared, and the wild waves rose so high over the hills and dales that everything was buried under the seas. Many people were swallowed up by the earth, and others who had escaped the fire perished in the waters."
3. Ancient writingsfrom the Aztecs and Mayans like the Chilam Balam , Dresden Codex, Popuhl Vuh , Codex Cortesianus, and Troano Manuscript were also translated into histories of the destruction of Atlantis and Lemuria.
4. Diodorusthe ancient Greek historian wrote that thousands of years earlier Phoenicians had been to the immense Atlantic island (where Plato wrote Atlantis was.
5. Phoenicianhieroglyphics have been found on numerous ruins in the South American jungles that are so ancient that the Indian tribes nearby lost memory of who built these ruins.
6. Ammianus Marcellinusthe Greek historian wrote about the destruction of Atlantis.
7. Plutarchwrote about the lost continent in his book Lives.
8. Herodotus, regarded by some as the greatest historians of the ancients, wrote about the mysterious island civilization in the Atlantic.
9. Timagenusthe Greek historian wrote of the war between Atlantis and Europe and said tribes in ancient France said that was their original home.
10. Bright paintingsin caves in France clearly show people wearing 20th century clothing: one painting led to an underground pyramid complex. French historian and archaeologist Robert Charroux dated them at 15,000 B.C.
11. Claudius Aelianusreferred to Atlantis in his 3rd century work The Nature of Animals.
12. Theopompos- a Greek historian - wrote of the huge size of Atlantis and its cities of Machimum and Eusebius and a golden age free from disease and manual labor.
13. The tablet from Lhasa, Tibet and also from Easter Island make It is clear from ancient writings that belief in Atlantis was common and accepted in Greece, Egypt, and Mayax {Mayan and Aztec Empires) by historians.
14. The Basquesof Spain, the Gualsof France, the Celts of Scotland and Ireland, the tribes of the Canary and Azoresislands, a tribe (Frysians ) in Holland, and dozens of Indian tribesall speak of their origins in a large lost and sunken Atlantic land in which they all believe.
Through the ages and eras these stories about Atlantis became more and more a legend for most historians.
There is even enough evidence that Atlantis once existed in ancient times.
In 1882, Ignatius Donnelly, a U.S. congressman from Minnesota, brought the legend into the American consciousness with his book, Atlantis the Antediluvian World . In 1883 he wrote another book about Atlantis, Ragnarok the age of fire and gravel .
James Churchwardwrote several volumes of books documenting ancient writings he claims to have translated in Southeast Asia concerning Atlantis and Mu, while geologist William Niven claimed to have excavated identical tablets in Mexico.
Dr. George Hunt Williamson, who authored several books on his Atlantean-Lemurian research in the 1950's, was an anthropologist explorer once listed in Who's Who in America. Williamson wrote how descendants of the Incas led him to an ancient manuscript in a temple in the Andes Mountains that told of the destruction of Atlantis and Mu, which had an advanced technology, by earthquakes and tidal waves. Williamson also visited dozens of Indian tribes in the United States and Mexico that told him of Atlantis and Mu, including the Hopi Indians.
and many others.
Many researchers believe that Atlantis is near the Azores Islands. The Azores are a group of islands belonging to Portugal located about 900 miles (1500 km) west of the Portuguese coast. Some people believe the islands are the mountaintops of the sunken continent of Atlantis.
By Egyptian record, Keftiu was destroyed by the seas in an apocalypse. It seems likely Solon carried legends of Keftiu to Greece, where he passed it to his son and grandson.
Plato recorded and embellished the story from Solon's grandson Critias the Younger. As in many ancient writings, history and myth were indistinguishably intermixed. Plato probably translated "the land of the pillars which held the sky" (Keftiu) into the land of the titan Atlas (who held the sky). Comparison of ancient Egyptian records of Keftiu identifies a number of similarities to Plato's Atlantis. It seems likely that Plato's Atlantis was a retelling (and renaming) of Egypt's Keftiu.
When Plato identified the location of the land he named Atlantis, he placed it to the west-in the Atlantic Ocean. In reality, Egyptian legend placed Keftiu west of Egypt, not necessarily west of the Mediterranean. In describing Atlantis as an island (or continent) in the Atlantic Ocean, we suspect Plato was merely wrong in his interpretation of the Egyptian legend he was retelling.
More significantly, there is another Atlantis-like story that was closer to Plato's world, in terms of time and geography... and it is based in fact. The Minoan Civilization was a great and peaceful culture based on the island of Crete, which reigned as long ago as 2200 B.C. The Minoan island of Santorini, later known as Thera, was home to a huge volcano. In 1470 B.C., it erupted with a force estimated to be greater than Krakatoa, obliterating everything on Santorini's surface. The resulting earthquakes and tsunamis devastated the rest of the Minoan Civilization, whose remnants were easily conquered by Greek forces.
Perhaps Santorini was the "real" Atlantis. Some have argued against this idea, noting Plato specified that Atlantis sank 10,000 years ago, but the Minoan disaster had taken place only 1,000 years earlier. Still, it could be that translation errors over the centuries altered what Plato really wrote, or maybe he was intentionally blurring the historical facts to suit his purposes. And there exists yet another strong possibility: that Plato entirely made Atlantis up himself.
Regardless, his story of the sunken continent went on to captivate the generations that followed. Other Greek thinkers, such as Aristotle and Pliny, disputed the existence of Atlantis, while Plutarch and Herodotus wrote of it as historical fact. Atlantis became entrenched in folklore all around the world, charted on ocean maps and sought by explorers.
Note : In my opinion was Keftiu (Crete) so called by the Egyptians not the same spot as the Atlantis story by Plato.
As told in India, Egypt and several others
As told by the Frysians and the Celts
The Germans and the Nordic Scandinavians spoke of a vanished continent in the North Atlantic Ocean called Thule with the civilization of Hyperborea located on it. Thule reportedly stretched into what is now the northern polar ice cap where it is buried underneath miles of ice so we cannot see it.
As told in Africa, Greece and others
Edgar Cayce (1877-1945)
Edgar Cayce became the U.S.'s most prominent advocate of a factual Atlantis. Widely known as The Sleeping Prophet, Cayce claimed the ability to see the future and to communicate with long-dead spirits from the past. He identified hundreds of people -- including himself -- as reincarnated Atlanteans.
Cayce said that Atlantis had been situated near the Bermuda island of Bimini. He believed that Atlanteans possessed remarkable technologies, including supremely powerful "fire-crystals" which they harnessed for energy. A disaster in which the fire-crystals went out of control was responsible for Atlantis's sinking, he said, in what sounds very much like a cautionary fable on the dangers of nuclear power. Remaining active beneath the ocean waves, damaged fire-crystals send out energy fields that interfere with passing ships and aircraft -- which is how Cayce accounted for the Bermuda Triangle.
His story began to unfold for him around 355 B.C. He wrote about this land called Atlantis in two of his dialogues, Timaeus and Critias, around 370 B.C. Plato said that the continent lay in the Atlantic Ocean near the Straits of Gibraltar until its destruction 10,000 years previous.
Plato described Atlantis as alternating rings of sea and land, with a palace in the center 'bull's eye'.
Plato used a series of dialogues to express his ideas. In this type of writing, the author's thoughts are explored in a series of arguments and debates between various characters in the story.
A character named Critias tells an account of Atlantis that has been in his family for generations. According the character the story was originally told to his ancestor Solon, by a priest during Solon's visit to Egypt.
According to the dialogues, there had been a powerful empire located to the west of the "Pillars of Hercules" (what we now call the Straight of Gibraltar) on an island in the Atlantic Ocean.
The nation there had been established by Poseidon, the God of the Sea.
Poseidon, god of the sea, sired five pairs of male twins with mortal women. Poseidon appointed the eldest of these sons, Atlas the Titan, ruler of his beautiful island domain. Atlas became the personification of the mountains or pillars that held up the sky. Plato described Atlantis as a vast island-continent west of the Mediterranean, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. The Greek word Atlantis means the island of Atlas, just as the word Atlantic means the ocean of Atlas.
The capital city of Atlantis was a marvel of architecture and engineering. The city was composed of a series of concentric walls and canals. At the very center was a hill, and on top of the hill a temple to Poseidon. Inside was a gold statue of the God of the Sea showing him driving six winged horses.
About 9000 years before the time of Plato, after the people of Atlantis became corrupt and greedy, the Gods decided to destroy them. A violent earthquake shook the land, giant waves rolled over the shores, and the island sank into the sea never to be seen again.
Atlantis was governed in peace, was rich in commerce, was advanced in knowledge, and held dominion over the surrounding islands and continents. By Plato's legend, the people of Atlantis became complacent and their leaders arrogant; in punishment the Gods destroyed Atlantis, flooding it and submerging the island in one day and night. Although Plato was the first to use the term "Atlantis," there are antecedents to the legend. There is an Egyptian legend which Solon probably heard while traveling in Egypt, and was passed down to Plato years later. The island nation of Keftiu, home of one of the four pillars that held up the sky, was said to be a glorious advanced civilization which was destroyed and sank beneath the ocean.
Note : In my opinion are all the above places mixed up from ancient times and the stories scattered throughout the eras were more or less put together by scientists.
In my book I will explain that there were at least 3 sunken continents (islands) in ancient times :
1. Atlantis, situated in the Atlantic Ocean, about 9,000 BC.
2. Lemuria (Mu), situated in the Pacific Ocean, about 20,000 BC.
3. The Egyptian Keftiu, situated in the Aegean See (Santorini, Thera), about 1,600 BC.
Those who actually take part in the dialogues:
Timaeus - there is no historical record of him.
Critias - Plato's great grandfather.
Socrates - Plato's mentor and teacher. He was condemned to death by authorities
in Athens for "corrupting the moral of Athenian youth"; He lived from 469 to 399
Hermocrates - statesman and soldier from Syracuse.
Those mentioned in the dialogues:
Solon - Athenian traveler, poet, and lawgiver who lived from approximately
638-559 BC. According to Plato it was he who learned of the story of Atlantis
from an Egyptian priest.
Dropides - Critias' great grandfather who was told the story of Atlantis by
Solon, a distant relative and close friend.
Critias - Son of Dropides and grandfather of the Critias who takes part in
the dialogues. It was he who related the story of Atlantis to the Critias of the
Timaeus. How thankful I am, Socrates, that I have
arrived at last, and, like a weary traveller after a long journey, may be at rest!
And I pray the being who always was of old, and has now been by me revealed, to
grant that my words may endure in so far as they have been spoken truly and acceptably
to him; but if unintentionally I have said anything wrong, I pray that he will impose
upon me a just retribution, and the just retribution of him who errs is that he
should be set right. Wishing, then, to speak truly in future concerning the generation
of the gods, I pray him to give me knowledge, which of all medicines is the most
perfect and best. And now having offered my prayer I deliver up the argument to Critias, who is to speak next according to our agreement.
Critias. And I, Timaeus, accept the trust, and as you at first said that you were
going to speak of high matters, and begged that some forbearance might be shown
to you, I too ask the same or greater forbearance for what I am about to say. And
although I very well know that my request may appear to be somewhat and discourteous,
I must make it nevertheless. For will any man of sense deny that you have spoken
well? I can only attempt to show that I ought to have more indulgence than you,
because my theme is more difficult; and I shall argue that to seem to speak well
of the gods to men is far easier than to speak well of men to men: for the inexperience
and utter ignorance of his hearers about any subject is a great assistance to him
who has to speak of it, and we know how ignorant we are concerning the gods. But
I should like to make my meaning clearer, if Timaeus, you will follow me. All that
is said by any of us can only be imitation and representation. For if we consider
the likenesses which painters make of bodies divine and heavenly, and the different
degrees of gratification with which the eye of the spectator receives them, we shall
see that we are satisfied with the artist who is able in any degree to imitate the
earth and its mountains, and the rivers, and the woods, and the universe, and the
things that are and move therein, and further, that knowing nothing precise about
such matters, we do not examine or analyze the painting; all that is required is
a sort of indistinct and deceptive mode of shadowing them forth. But when a person
endeavours to paint the human form we are quick at finding out defects, and our
familiar knowledge makes us severe judges of any one who does not render every point
of similarity. And we may observe the same thing to happen in discourse; we are
satisfied with a picture of divine and heavenly things which has very little likeness
to them; but we are more precise in our criticism of mortal and human things. Wherefore
if at the moment of speaking I cannot suitably express my meaning, you must excuse
me, considering that to form approved likenesses of human things is the reverse
of easy. This is what I want to suggest to you, and at the same time to beg, Socrates,
that I may have not less, but more indulgence conceded to me in what I am about
to say. Which favour, if I am right in asking, I hope that you will be ready to
Socrates. Certainly, Critias, we will grant your request, and we will grant
the same by anticipation to Hermocrates, as well as to you and Timaeus; for I have
no doubt that when his turn comes a little while hence, he will make the same request
which you have made. In order, then, that he may provide himself with a fresh beginning,
and not be compelled to say the same things over again, let him understand that
the indulgence is already extended by anticipation to him. And now, friend Critias,
I will announce to you the judgment of the theatre. They are of opinion that the
last performer was wonderfully successful, and that you will need a great deal of
indulgence before you will be able to take his place.
Hermocrates. The warning, Socrates, which you have addressed to him, I must also
take to myself. But remember, Critias, that faint heart never yet raised a trophy;
and therefore you must go and attack the argument like a man. First invoke Apollo
and the Muses, and then let us hear you sound the praises and show forth the virtues
of your ancient citizens.
Crit. Friend Hermocrates, you, who are stationed last and have another in front
of you, have not lost heart as yet; the gravity of the situation will soon be revealed
to you; meanwhile I accept your exhortations and encouragements. But besides the
gods and goddesses whom you have mentioned, I would specially invoke Mnemosyne;
for all the important part of my discourse is dependent on her favour, and if I
can recollect and recite enough of what was said by the priests and brought hither
by Solon, I doubt not that I shall satisfy the requirements of this theatre. And
now, making no more excuses, I will proceed.
Let me begin by observing first of all, that nine thousand was the sum of years
which had elapsed since the war which was said to have taken place between those
who dwelt outside the Pillars of Heracles and all who dwelt within them; this war
I am going to describe. Of the combatants on the one side, the city of Athens was
reported to have been the leader and to have fought out the war; the combatants
on the other side were commanded by the kings of Atlantis, which, as was saying,
was an island greater in extent than Libya and Asia, and when afterwards sunk by
an earthquake, became an impassable barrier of mud to voyagers sailing from hence
to any part of the ocean. The progress of the history will unfold the various nations
of barbarians and families of Hellenes which then existed, as they successively
appear on the scene; but I must describe first of all Athenians of that day, and
their enemies who fought with them, and then the respective powers and governments
of the two kingdoms. Let us give the precedence to Athens.
In the days of old the gods had the whole earth distributed among them by allotment.
There was no quarrelling; for you cannot rightly suppose that the gods did not know
what was proper for each of them to have, or, knowing this, that they would seek
to procure for themselves by contention that which more properly belonged to others.
They all of them by just apportionment obtained what they wanted, and peopled their
own districts; and when they had peopled them they tended us, their nurselings and
possessions, as shepherds tend their flocks, excepting only that they did not use
blows or bodily force, as shepherds do, but governed us like pilots from the stern
of the vessel, which is an easy way of guiding animals, holding our souls by the
rudder of persuasion according to their own pleasure;-thus did they guide all mortal
creatures. Now different gods had their allotments in different places which they
set in order. Hephaestus and Athene, who were brother and sister, and sprang from
the same father, having a common nature, and being united also in the love of philosophy
and art, both obtained as their common portion this land, which was naturally adapted
for wisdom and virtue; and there they implanted brave children of the soil, and
put into their minds the order of government; their names are preserved, but their
actions have disappeared by reason of the destruction of those who received the
tradition, and the lapse of ages. For when there were any survivors, as I have already
said, they were men who dwelt in the mountains; and they were ignorant of the art
of writing, and had heard only the names of the chiefs of the land, but very little
about their actions. The names they were willing enough to give to their children;
but the virtues and the laws of their predecessors, they knew only by obscure traditions;
and as they themselves and their children lacked for many generations the necessaries
of life, they directed their attention to the supply of their wants, and of them
they conversed, to the neglect of events that had happened in times long past; for
mythology and the enquiry into antiquity are first introduced into cities when they
begin to have leisure, and when they see that the necessaries of life have already
been provided, but not before. And this is reason why the names of the ancients
have been preserved to us and not their actions. This I infer because Solon said
that the priests in their narrative of that war mentioned most of the names which
are recorded prior to the time of Theseus, such as Cecrops, and Erechtheus, and
Erichthonius, and Erysichthon, and the names of the women in like manner. Moreover,
since military pursuits were then common to men and women, the men of those days
in accordance with the custom of the time set up a figure and image of the goddess
in full armour, to be a testimony that all animals which associate together, male
as well as female, may, if they please, practise in common the virtue which belongs
to them without distinction of sex.
Now the country was inhabited in those days by various classes of citizens;-there
were artisans, and there were husbandmen, and there was also a warrior class originally
set apart by divine men. The latter dwelt by themselves, and had all things suitable
for nurture and education; neither had any of them anything of their own, but they
regarded all that they had as common property; nor did they claim to receive of
the other citizens anything more than their necessary food. And they practised all
the pursuits which we yesterday described as those of our imaginary guardians. Concerning
the country the Egyptian priests said what is not only probable but manifestly true,
that the boundaries were in those days fixed by the Isthmus, and that in the direction
of the continent they extended as far as the heights of Cithaeron and Parnes; the
boundary line came down in the direction of the sea, having the district of Oropus
on the right, and with the river Asopus as the limit on the left. The land was the
best in the world, and was therefore able in those days to support a vast army,
raised from the surrounding people. Even the remnant of Attica which now exists
may compare with any region in the world for the variety and excellence of its fruits
and the suitableness of its pastures to every sort of animal, which proves what
I am saying; but in those days the country was fair as now and yielded far more
abundant produce. How shall I establish my words? and what part of it can be truly
called a remnant of the land that then was? The whole country is only a long promontory
extending far into the sea away from the rest of the continent, while the surrounding
basin of the sea is everywhere deep in the neighbourhood of the shore. Many great
deluges have taken place during the nine thousand years, for that is the number
of years which have elapsed since the time of which I am speaking; and during all
this time and through so many changes, there has never been any considerable accumulation
of the soil coming down from the mountains, as in other places, but the earth has
fallen away all round and sunk out of sight. The consequence is, that in comparison
of what then was, there are remaining only the bones of the wasted body, as they
may be called, as in the case of small islands, all the richer and softer parts
of the soil having fallen away, and the mere skeleton of the land being left. But
in the primitive state of the country, its mountains were high hills covered with
soil, and the plains, as they are termed by us, of Phelleus were full of rich earth,
and there was abundance of wood in the mountains. Of this last the traces still
remain, for although some of the mountains now only afford sustenance to bees, not
so very long ago there were still to be seen roofs of timber cut from trees growing
there, which were of a size sufficient to cover the largest houses; and there were
many other high trees, cultivated by man and bearing abundance of food for cattle.
Moreover, the land reaped the benefit of the annual rainfall, not as now losing
the water which flows off the bare earth into the sea, but, having an abundant supply
in all places, and receiving it into herself and treasuring it up in the close clay
soil, it let off into the hollows the streams which it absorbed from the heights,
providing everywhere abundant fountains and rivers, of which there may still be
observed sacred memorials in places where fountains once existed; and this proves
the truth of what I am saying.
Such was the natural state of the country, which was cultivated, as we may well
believe, by true husbandmen, who made husbandry their business, and were lovers
of honour, and of a noble nature, and had a soil the best in the world, and abundance
of water, and in the heaven above an excellently attempered climate. Now the city
in those days was arranged on this wise. In the first place the Acropolis was not
as now. For the fact is that a single night of excessive rain washed away the earth
and laid bare the rock; at the same time there were earthquakes, and then occurred
the extraordinary inundation, which was the third before the great destruction of
Deucalion. But in primitive times the hill of the Acropolis extended to the Eridanus
and Ilissus, and included the Pnyx on one side, and the Lycabettus as a boundary
on the opposite side to the Pnyx, and was all well covered with soil, and level
at the top, except in one or two places. Outside the Acropolis and under the sides
of the hill there dwelt artisans, and such of the husbandmen as were tilling the
ground near; the warrior class dwelt by themselves around the temples of Athene
and Hephaestus at the summit, which moreover they had enclosed with a single fence
like the garden of a single house. On the north side they had dwellings in common
and had erected halls for dining in winter, and had all the buildings which they
needed for their common life, besides temples, but there was no adorning of them
with gold and silver, for they made no use of these for any purpose; they took a
middle course between meanness and ostentation, and built modest houses in which
they and their children's children grew old, and they handed them down to others
who were like themselves, always the same. But in summer-time they left their gardens
and gymnasia and dining halls, and then the southern side of the hill was made use
of by them for the same purpose. Where the Acropolis now is there was a fountain,
which was choked by the earthquake, and has left only the few small streams which
still exist in the vicinity, but in those days the fountain gave an abundant supply
of water for all and of suitable temperature in summer and in winter. This is how
they dwelt, being the guardians of their own citizens and the leaders of the Hellenes,
who were their willing followers. And they took care to preserve the same number
of men and women through all time, being so many as were required for warlike purposes,
then as now-that is to say, about twenty thousand. Such were the ancient Athenians,
and after this manner they righteously administered their own land and the rest
of Hellas; they were renowned all over Europe and Asia for the beauty of their persons
and for the many virtues of their souls, and of all men who lived in those days
they were the most illustrious. And next, if I have not forgotten what I heard when
I was a child, I will impart to you the character and origin of their adversaries.
For friends should not keep their stories to themselves, but have them in common.
Yet, before proceeding further in the narrative, I ought to warn you, that you
must not be surprised if you should perhaps hear Hellenic names given to foreigners.
I will tell you the reason of this: Solon, who was intending to use the tale for
his poem, enquired into the meaning of the names, and found that the early Egyptians
in writing them down had translated them into their own language, and he recovered
the meaning of the several names and when copying them out again translated them
into our language. My great-grandfather, Dropides, had the original writing, which
is still in my possession, and was carefully studied by me when I was a child. Therefore
if you hear names such as are used in this country, you must not be surprised, for
I have told how they came to be introduced. The tale, which was of great length,
began as follows:-
I have before remarked in speaking of the allotments of the gods, that they distributed
the whole earth into portions differing in extent, and made for themselves temples
and instituted sacrifices. And Poseidon, receiving for his lot the island of Atlantis,
begat children by a mortal woman, and settled them in a part of the island, which
I will describe. Looking towards the sea, but in the centre of the whole island,
there was a plain which is said to have been the fairest of all plains and very
fertile. Near the plain again, and also in the centre of the island at a distance
of about fifty stadia, there was a mountain not very high on any side.
In this mountain there dwelt one of the earth born primeval men of that country,
whose name was Evenor, and he had a wife named Leucippe, and they had an only daughter
who was called Cleito. The maiden had already reached womanhood, when her father
and mother died; Poseidon fell in love with her and had intercourse with her, and
breaking the ground, inclosed the hill in which she dwelt all round, making alternate
zones of sea and land larger and smaller, encircling one another; there were two
of land and three of water, which he turned as with a lathe, each having its circumference
equidistant every way from the centre, so that no man could get to the island, for
ships and voyages were not as yet. He himself, being a god, found no difficulty
in making special arrangements for the centre island, bringing up two springs of
water from beneath the earth, one of warm water and the other of cold, and making
every variety of food to spring up abundantly from the soil. He also begat and brought
up five pairs of twin male children; and dividing the island of Atlantis into ten
portions, he gave to the first-born of the eldest pair his mother's dwelling and
the surrounding allotment, which was the largest and best, and made him king over
the rest; the others he made princes, and gave them rule over many men, and a large
territory. And he named them all; the eldest, who was the first king, he named Atlas,
and after him the whole island and the ocean were called Atlantic. To his twin brother,
who was born after him, and obtained as his lot the extremity of the island towards
the Pillars of Heracles, facing the country which is now called the region of Gades
in that part of the world, he gave the name which in the Hellenic language is Eumelus,
in the language of the country which is named after him, Gadeirus. Of the second
pair of twins he called one Ampheres, and the other Evaemon. To the elder of the
third pair of twins he gave the name Mneseus, and Autochthon to the one who followed
him. Of the fourth pair of twins he called the elder Elasippus, and the younger
Mestor. And of the fifth pair he gave to the elder the name of Azaes, and to the
younger that of Diaprepes. All these and their descendants for many generations
were the inhabitants and rulers of divers islands in the open sea; and also, as
has been already said, they held sway in our direction over the country within the
Pillars as far as Egypt and Tyrrhenia.
Now Atlas had a numerous and honourable family, and they retained the kingdom,
the eldest son handing it on to his eldest for many generations; and they had such
an amount of wealth as was never before possessed by kings and potentates, and is
not likely ever to be again, and they were furnished with everything which they
needed, both in the city and country. For because of the greatness of their empire
many things were brought to them from foreign countries, and the island itself provided
most of what was required by them for the uses of life. In the first place, they
dug out of the earth whatever was to be found there, solid as well as fusile, and
that which is now only a name and was then something more than a name, orichalcum,
was dug out of the earth in many parts of the island, being more precious in those
days than anything except gold. There was an abundance of wood for carpenter's work,
and sufficient maintenance for tame and wild animals. Moreover, there were a great
number of elephants in the island; for as there was provision for all other sorts
of animals, both for those which live in lakes and marshes and rivers, and also
for those which live in mountains and on plains, so there was for the animal which
is the largest and most voracious of all. Also whatever fragrant things there now
are in the earth, whether roots, or herbage, or woods, or essences which distil
from fruit and flower, grew and thrived in that land; also the fruit which admits
of cultivation, both the dry sort, which is given us for nourishment and any other
which we use for food-we call them all by the common name pulse, and the fruits
having a hard rind, affording drinks and meats and ointments, and good store of
chestnuts and the like, which furnish pleasure and amusement, and are fruits which
spoil with keeping, and the pleasant kinds of dessert, with which we console ourselves
after dinner, when we are tired of eating-all these that sacred island which then
beheld the light of the sun, brought forth fair and wondrous and in infinite abundance.
With such blessings the earth freely furnished them; meanwhile they went on constructing
their temples and palaces and harbours and docks. And they arranged the whole country
in the following manner:
First of all they bridged over the zones of sea which surrounded the ancient
metropolis, making a road to and from the royal palace. And at the very beginning
they built the palace in the habitation of the god and of their ancestors, which
they continued to ornament in successive generations, every king surpassing the
one who went before him to the utmost of his power, until they made the building
a marvel to behold for size and for beauty. And beginning from the sea they bored
a canal of three hundred feet in width and one hundred feet in depth and fifty stadia
in length, which they carried through to the outermost zone, making a passage from
the sea up to this, which became a harbour, and leaving an opening sufficient to
enable the largest vessels to find ingress. Moreover, they divided at the bridges
the zones of land which parted the zones of sea, leaving room for a single trireme
to pass out of one zone into another, and they covered over the channels so as to
leave a way underneath for the ships; for the banks were raised considerably above
the water. Now the largest of the zones into which a passage was cut from the sea
was three stadia in breadth, and the zone of land which came next of equal breadth;
but the next two zones, the one of water, the other of land, were two stadia, and
the one which surrounded the central island was a stadium only in width. The island
in which the palace was situated had a diameter of five stadia. All this including
the zones and the bridge, which was the sixth part of a stadium in width, they surrounded
by a stone wall on every side, placing towers and gates on the bridges where the
sea passed in. The stone which was used in the work they quarried from underneath
the centre island, and from underneath the zones, on the outer as well as the inner
side. One kind was white, another black, and a third red, and as they quarried,
they at the same time hollowed out double docks, having roofs formed out of the
native rock. Some of their buildings were simple, but in others they put together
different stones, varying the colour to please the eye, and to be a natural source
of delight. The entire circuit of the wall, which went round the outermost zone,
they covered with a coating of brass, and the circuit of the next wall they coated
with tin, and the third, which encompassed the citadel, flashed with the red light
of orichalcum.
The palaces in the interior of the citadel were constructed on this wise:-in
the centre was a holy temple dedicated to Cleito and Poseidon, which remained inaccessible,
and was surrounded by an enclosure of gold; this was the spot where the family of
the ten princes first saw the light, and thither the people annually brought the
fruits of the earth in their season from all the ten portions, to be an offering
to each of the ten. Here was Poseidon's own temple which was a stadium in length,
and half a stadium in width, and of a proportionate height, having a strange barbaric
appearance. All the outside of the temple, with the exception of the pinnacles,
they covered with silver, and the pinnacles with gold. In the interior of the temple
the roof was of ivory, curiously wrought everywhere with gold and silver and orichalcum;
and all the other parts, the walls and pillars and floor, they coated with orichalcum.
In the temple they placed statues of gold: there was the god himself standing in
a chariot-the charioteer of six winged horses-and of such a size that he touched
the roof of the building with his head; around him there were a hundred Nereids
riding on dolphins, for such was thought to be the number of them by the men of
those days. There were also in the interior of the temple other images which had
been dedicated by private persons. And around the temple on the outside were placed
statues of gold of all the descendants of the ten kings and of their wives, and
there were many other great offerings of kings and of private persons, coming both
from the city itself and from the foreign cities over which they held sway. There
was an altar too, which in size and workmanship corresponded to this magnificence,
and the palaces, in like manner, answered to the greatness of the kingdom and the
glory of the temple.
In the next place, they had fountains, one of cold and another of hot water,
in gracious plenty flowing; and they were wonderfully adapted for use by reason
of the pleasantness and excellence of their waters. They constructed buildings about
them and planted suitable trees, also they made cisterns, some open to the heavens,
others roofed over, to be used in winter as warm baths; there were the kings' baths,
and the baths of private persons, which were kept apart; and there were separate
baths for women, and for horses and cattle, and to each of them they gave as much
adornment as was suitable. Of the water which ran off they carried some to the grove
of Poseidon, where were growing all manner of trees of wonderful height and beauty,
owing to the excellence of the soil, while the remainder was conveyed by aqueducts
along the bridges to the outer circles; and there were many temples built and dedicated
to many gods; also gardens and places of exercise, some for men, and others for
horses in both of the two islands formed by the zones; and in the centre of the
larger of the two there was set apart a race-course of a stadium in width, and in
length allowed to extend all round the island, for horses to race in. Also there
were guardhouses at intervals for the guards, the more trusted of whom were appointed-to
keep watch in the lesser zone, which was nearer the Acropolis while the most trusted
of all had houses given them within the citadel, near the persons of the kings.
The docks were full of triremes and naval stores, and all things were quite ready
for use. Enough of the plan of the royal palace.
Leaving the palace and passing out across the three you came to a wall which
began at the sea and went all round: this was everywhere distant fifty stadia from
the largest zone or harbour, and enclosed the whole, the ends meeting at the mouth
of the channel which led to the sea. The entire area was densely crowded with habitations;
and the canal and the largest of the harbours were full of vessels and merchants
coming from all parts, who, from their numbers, kept up a multitudinous sound of
human voices, and din and clatter of all sorts night and day.
I have described the city and the environs of the ancient palace nearly in the
words of Solon, and now I must endeavour to represent the nature and arrangement
of the rest of the land. The whole country was said by him to be very lofty and
precipitous on the side of the sea, but the country immediately about and surrounding
the city was a level plain, itself surrounded by mountains which descended towards
the sea; it was smooth and even, and of an oblong shape, extending in one direction
three thousand stadia, but across the centre inland it was two thousand stadia.
This part of the island looked towards the south, and was sheltered from the north.
The surrounding mountains were celebrated for their number and size and beauty,
far beyond any which still exist, having in them also many wealthy villages of country
folk, and rivers, and lakes, and meadows supplying food enough for every animal,
wild or tame, and much wood of various sorts, abundant for each and every kind of
I will now describe the plain, as it was fashioned by nature and by the labours
of many generations of kings through long ages. It was for the most part rectangular
and oblong, and where falling out of the straight line followed the circular ditch.
The depth, and width, and length of this ditch were incredible, and gave the impression
that a work of such extent, in addition to so many others, could never have been
artificial. Nevertheless I must say what I was told. It was excavated to the depth
of a hundred, feet, and its breadth was a stadium everywhere; it was carried round
the whole of the plain, and was ten thousand stadia in length. It received the streams
which came down from the mountains, and winding round the plain and meeting at the
city, was there let off into the sea. Further inland, likewise, straight canals
of a hundred feet in width were cut from it through the plain, and again let off
into the ditch leading to the sea: these canals were at intervals of a hundred stadia,
and by them they brought down the wood from the mountains to the city, and conveyed
the fruits of the earth in ships, cutting transverse passages from one canal into
another, and to the city. Twice in the year they gathered the fruits of the earth-in
winter having the benefit of the rains of heaven, and in summer the water which
the land supplied by introducing streams from the canals.
As to the population, each of the lots in the plain had to find a leader for
the men who were fit for military service, and the size of a lot was a square of
ten stadia each way, and the total number of all the lots was sixty thousand. And
of the inhabitants of the mountains and of the rest of the country there was also
a vast multitude, which was distributed among the lots and had leaders assigned
to them according to their districts and villages. The leader was required to furnish
for the war the sixth portion of a war-chariot, so as to make up a total of ten
thousand chariots; also two horses and riders for them, and a pair of chariot-horses
without a seat, accompanied by a horseman who could fight on foot carrying a small
shield, and having a charioteer who stood behind the man-at-arms to guide the two
horses; also, he was bound to furnish two heavy armed soldiers, two slingers, three
stone-shooters and three javelin-men, who were light-armed, and four sailors to
make up the complement of twelve hundred ships. Such was the military order of the
royal city-the order of the other nine governments varied, and it would be wearisome
to recount their several differences.
As to offices and honours, the following was the arrangement from the first.
Each of the ten kings in his own division and in his own city had the absolute control
of the citizens, and, in most cases, of the laws, punishing and slaying whomsoever
he would. Now the order of precedence among them and their mutual relations were
regulated by the commands of Poseidon which the law had handed down. These were
inscribed by the first kings on a pillar of orichalcum, which was situated in the
middle of the island, at the temple of Poseidon, whither the kings were gathered
together every fifth and every sixth year alternately, thus giving equal honour
to the odd and to the even number. And when they were gathered together they consulted
about their common interests, and enquired if any one had transgressed in anything
and passed judgment and before they passed judgment they gave their pledges to one
another on this wise:-There were bulls who had the range of the temple of Poseidon;
and the ten kings, being left alone in the temple, after they had offered prayers
to the god that they might capture the victim which was acceptable to him, hunted
the bulls, without weapons but with staves and nooses; and the bull which they caught
they led up to the pillar and cut its throat over the top of it so that the blood
fell upon the sacred inscription. Now on the pillar, besides the laws, there was
inscribed an oath invoking mighty curses on the disobedient. When therefore, after
slaying the bull in the accustomed manner, they had burnt its limbs, they filled
a bowl of wine and cast in a clot of blood for each of them; the rest of the victim
they put in the fire, after having purified the column all round. Then they drew
from the bowl in golden cups and pouring a libation on the fire, they swore that
they would judge according to the laws on the pillar, and would punish him who in
any point had already transgressed them, and that for the future they would not,
if they could help, offend against the writing on the pillar, and would neither
command others, nor obey any ruler who commanded them, to act otherwise than according
to the laws of their father Poseidon. This was the prayer which each of them-offered
up for himself and for his descendants, at the same time drinking and dedicating
the cup out of which he drank in the temple of the god; and after they had supped
and satisfied their needs, when darkness came on, and the fire about the sacrifice
was cool, all of them put on most beautiful azure robes, and, sitting on the ground,
at night, over the embers of the sacrifices by which they had sworn, and extinguishing
all the fire about the temple, they received and gave judgment, if any of them had
an accusation to bring against any one; and when they given judgment, at daybreak
they wrote down their sentences on a golden tablet, and dedicated it together with
their robes to be a memorial.
There were many special laws affecting the several kings inscribed about the
temples, but the most important was the following: They were not to take up arms
against one another, and they were all to come to the rescue if any one in any of
their cities attempted to overthrow the royal house; like their ancestors, they
were to deliberate in common about war and other matters, giving the supremacy to
the descendants of Atlas. And the king was not to have the power of life and death
over any of his kinsmen unless he had the assent of the majority of the ten.
Such was the vast power which the god settled in the lost island of Atlantis;
and this he afterwards directed against our land for the following reasons, as tradition
tells: For many generations, as long as the divine nature lasted in them, they were
obedient to the laws, and well-affectioned towards the god, whose seed they were;
for they possessed true and in every way great spirits, uniting gentleness with
wisdom in the various chances of life, and in their intercourse with one another.
They despised everything but virtue, caring little for their present state of life,
and thinking lightly of the possession of gold and other property, which seemed
only a burden to them; neither were they intoxicated by luxury; nor did wealth deprive
them of their self-control; but they were sober, and saw clearly that all these
goods are increased by virtue and friendship with one another, whereas by too great
regard and respect for them, they are lost and friendship with them. By such reflections
and by the continuance in them of a divine nature, the qualities which we have described
grew and increased among them; but when the divine portion began to fade away, and
became diluted too often and too much with the mortal admixture, and the human nature
got the upper hand, they then, being unable to bear their fortune, behaved unseemly,
and to him who had an eye to see grew visibly debased, for they were losing the
fairest of their precious gifts; but to those who had no eye to see the true happiness,
they appeared glorious and blessed at the very time when they were full of avarice
and unrighteous power. Zeus, the god of gods, who rules according to law, and is
able to see into such things, perceiving that an honourable race was in a woeful
plight, and wanting to inflict punishment on them, that they might be chastened
and improve, collected all the gods into their most holy habitation, which, being
placed in the centre of the world, beholds all created things. And when he had called
them together, he spake as follows-*

Immunizzare – Capsules
Is a unique combination of 4 immune-boosting ingredients of Yeast fermentate, Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Zinc in the form of single dose sachet. It helps in boosting the immunity of children and adults.
- Yeast fermentate modulates the immune system and influence antioxidant levels in the blood; hence shows scientifically proven immune boosting benefits including a reduction in cold and flu-like symptoms in non vaccinated individuals, a reduction in the incidence and duration of cold and flu symptoms who had been vaccinated and an improvement in allergy-like symptoms like a runny nose.
- Vitamin C boosts immunity through its involvement in many parts of the immune system. It helps encourage the production of white blood cells known as lymphocytes and phagocytes, which help protect the body against infections. Moreover, it helps these white blood cells function more effectively while protecting them from damage by potentially harmful molecules, such as free radicals. Also, Vitamin C is an essential part of the skin's defense system. It is actively transported to the skin where it can act as an antioxidant and help strengthen the skin's barriers, hence shortening wound healing time.
- Vitamin D: in addition to its classic effects on calcium and bone homeostasis. Vitamin D can modulate innate and adaptive immune responses. Deficiency in vitamin D is associated with increased autoimmunity as well as increased susceptibility to infection.
- Zinc is found in cells throughout the body. It is needed for the body's defensive (immune) system to properly work. It plays a role in cell division, cell growth and wound healing. Recent information from an expert review on zinc supplements showed that it may reduce the risk of becoming sick with the common cold and may reduce how long the symptoms last and make the symptoms less severe.

I used to be unaware that there were other English keyboard layouts that people used. But two years ago, I ran into an article about the Dvorak keyboard layout.
I switched my layout and started learning it. I enjoyed it, but my appetite was whetted. I researched other layouts, and I switched to the Colemak layout. Then, my restlessness got the best of me, and I switched to an optimized layout from the Carpalx site. (I switched to their "QGMLWY" layout, to be specific. Those are the first six letters from the left on the top row of the keyboard. It's a shorthand way of referring to keyboard layouts.)
I used the QGMLWJ layout for almost two years. I liked it, but I didn't like the rarity of it. If I want to use it on a computer, I had to generate a customized keyboard layout file and load it. t recently decided to return to the Colemak layout. It comes as a standard option in most Macs and Windows computers. Switching to the Colemak layout is as easy as going to the System Preference or Control Panel and changing layouts.
The new layouts are designed to make typing more comfortable, more ergonomical, and faster. But is that enough to justify changing? I thought I would write a short post to give a few reasons to switch.
- Geekiness. Okay…this is the main reason to switch to an optimized keyboard layout. There is a geeky interest in increased productivity, as the endless number of personal productivity blogs shows. And the promise of increased productivity is too much of a lure to pass up. Plus, there is just something about learning and using a keyboard layout of which no one has ever heard.
- Ergonomical benefits. Alternative layouts reduce the amount your fingers have to move when typing. Some people with carpal tunnel syndrome claim that their symptoms have been reduced by switching to a different keyboard layout. Some websites will calculate the distance your fingers travel when typing. They show you how much less your fingers will move typing the same texts with different layouts. (See this site, for example.) My experience is that typing in an alternative, optimized keyboard is more comfortable that the traditional QWERTY layout.
- Computer security. If you change your keyboard layout, almost no one will be able to use your computer easily. (This is especially true if you do not relabel your keys with the appropriate letters. In this case, looking at the keyboard is no help.) This adds an added level of security to your computer. This played no role in my decision to change keyboard layouts, but it seems to be a factor for some of the people I've read about online. If you want to keep people from using your computer without your permission, you might try this, though password protection seems to be a better option.
- Faster typing. If typing effort is reduced with an alternative layout, then you should be able to type faster. But if you're proficient with the standard QWERTY layout, then it will take you a while to reach those speeds again. I typed around 80 WPM (Words Per Minute) on the standard QWERTY layout, and after a week of practice I reached 40 WPM on the new layout. So I initially slowed down a lot, which was frustrating. But everyday is noticeably better. Whenever I switch to a new layout, I reach my old speed of 80 WPM within a month or two.
- To challenge your mind. Whenever I see articles telling the elderly how to avoid the loss of cognitive abilities as they age, they always said that you should learn a new skill. This certainly counts. Learning a new keyboard layout is a challenge and mentally straining. I suppose it would be helpful in keeping your mind sharp.
I know that few of you are even remotely interested in changing your layout. That's fine. QWERTY is sufficient, as its widespread usage shows. That doesn't mean, though, that a few eccentric people shouldn't toy around with new layouts. And who knows, maybe a few of you are eccentric enough to try a different layout.

The brainchild of visual artist/guitarist/growler Tom Denney, at its best the music on Nagual Sun borders on sludgy, hard-charging post-metal like Neurosis on acid: at worst, it's a cacophonous mess of fragmented ideas (just like that artwork, which honestly looks like Denney spent about two minutes in Photoshop.

This past December I joined the Orange staff as an XP3 Orange Specialist. Prior to joining Orange I was working for another company on their sales team, but I would still volunteer at The Orange Conference. Not out of need but out of the desire to grow, learn, network and for pure enjoyment. As a small group leader of students I found great value in spending quality time with many of the speakers, vendors and Orange staff. Even while working behind-the-scenes to make this exciting week happen, I found that they would make time to talk and laugh with me. After several years of volunteering, I love that I now get to be on staff and be a part of all of the behind-the-scenes activities, and I don't have to take a week vacation to do so!
Why did I volunteer my time?

Diabetic Ketoacidosis And Pediatric Stroke
THE CASE: A 6-year-old previously healthy right-handed girl presented with a 3-day history of progressive epigastric abdominal pain, polydipsia and secondary nocturnal enuresis and a 2-week history of weight loss of 5 kg. Her initial assessment revealed tachypnea with Kussmaul's respiration, tachycardia and moderate dehydration, with an estimated fluid deficit of 6%– 9%. The girl was hyperglycemic (plasma glucose level 43.4 mmol/L) and acidotic (pH 7.13, bicarbonate level 3.8 mmol/L), with urinalysis revealing ketonuria and glucosuria. After admission, appropriate fluid resuscitation and insulin treatment were started. The patient's diabetic ketoacidosis resolved over 20 hours, at which point a diabetic diet was introduced along with subcutaneous insulin therapy. On the morning after admission, the patient was found by the nursing staff to be irritable, lethargic and intermittently combative. Twelve hours later a right hemiparesis and aphasia became evident. A cranial CT scan showed an evolving infarct in the left basal ganglia. Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography and magnetic resonance angiography showed occlusion of the proximal left middle cerebral artery (Fig. 1). Echocardiography showed 2 thrombi, measuring 11 х 9 mm and 1 х 1 mm respectively, on the underside of the anterior mitral valve leaflet. There was no associated congenital heart disease. Because of a high risk of further thromboembolic events, heparin infusion was begun, and open thrombectomy was performed on the third day. Pathological examination revealed inflammatory cells and an organized thrombus. Blood cultures and prothrombotic studies yielded negative findings. Intensive rehabilitation therapy and low-molecular-weight heparin (enoxaparin, 30 mg subcutaneously every 12 hours) were started after Continue reading >>
Pediatric Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Pediatric Diabetic Ketoacidosis Authors: Katia M. Lugo-Enriquez, MD, FACEP, Faculty, Florida Hospital Emergency Medicine Residency Program, Orlando, FL. Nick Passafiume, MD, Florida Hospital Emergency Medicine Residency Program, Orlando, FL. Peer Reviewer: Richard A. Brodsky, MD, Pediatric Emergency Medicine, St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, Assistant Professor, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA. Children with diabetes, especially type 1, remain at risk for developing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). This may seem confounding in a modern society with such advanced medical care, but the fact remains that children who are type 1 diabetics have an incidence of DKA of 8 per 100 patient years.1 In fact, Neu and colleagues have noted in a multicenter analysis of 14,664 patients in Europe from 1995 to 2007 that there was no significant change in ketoacidosis presenting at diabetes onset in children.2 In children younger than 19 years old, DKA is the admitting diagnosis in 65% of all hospital admissions of patients with diabetes mellitus.3 This article reviews the presentation, diagnostic evaluation, treatment, and potential complications associated with pediatric DKA. — The Editor Introduction The overall mortality rate for children in DKA is not unimpressive: The range is 0.15% to 0.31%.4 Besides death, one of the most feared repercussions of DKA in children is cerebral edema, an entity that occurs approximately 1% of the time.5,6 Cerebral edema, with the exception of a few case reports in some young adults, has largely been a complication of treatment in the pediatric population, and the exact factors have yet to be completely determined. The mortality associated with cerebral edema may approach 20% to 50%, and the incidence of neurologic morbidity is significant and Continue reading >>
Prime Pubmed | Current Variability Of Clinical Practice Management Of Pediatric Diabetic Ketoacidosis In Illinois Pediatric Emergency Department
This study aimed to investigate the management of pediatric patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) presenting to emergency departments (EDs) participating in the Illinois Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Facility Recognition program. In 2010, Illinois EMSC conducted a survey (including case scenarios) and medical record review regarding management of pediatric patients with DKA. Data were submitted by 116 EDs. Survey response rate was 94%. Only 34% of EDs had a documented DKA guideline/policy; 37% reported that they did not have hospital adult or pediatric endocrinology services. Case scenarios identified a high percentage of respondents given an intravenous (IV) isotonic sodium chloride solution of 10 to 20 mL/kg during the first hour. However 17% to 21% would use an alternative choice such as administering initial IV solution of 0.45 sodium chloride, initiating an insulin drip before fluids, or waiting for more laboratory results before giving fluids or insulin. A total of 532 medical record reviews were submitted. In 87% of records, patients received an initial IV isotonic sodium chloride solution within the first hour. In 74%, patients received IV insulin infusion/drip (0.1 U/kg/h) after the initial fluid bolus. Of the patients, 51% were transferred to another facility; 22% were admitted to an intensive care unit. Best ED practice management of pediatric DKA includes establishing a specific guideline/protocol and ensuring access to a pediatric endocrinologist. Both were identified as improvement areas in this project. Illinois EMSC has developed an educational module and provided direct feedback to all participating EDs, to improve their management of pediatric patients with DKA. Barrios, Ellen K., et al.

High Fidelity Simulation Case: Teaching Diabetic Ketoacidosis With Cerebral Edema
High Fidelity Simulation Case: Teaching Diabetic Ketoacidosis with Cerebral Edema To view all publication components, extract (i.e., unzip) them from the downloaded .zip file. Editor's Note: This publication predates our implementation of the Educational Summary Report in 2016 and thus displays a different format than newer publications. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a common complaint throughout the emergency departments of the United States. However, the subsequent development of cerebral edema is a rarely encountered and critical clinical entity. Though residents and medical students have a great deal of exposure through their clinical time to diabetic ketoacidosis, very few have the opportunity to witness the development of cerebral edema and aid in its management. It is for this reason that this simulation has been developed to prepare the learner for the actual disease process should it occur. This simulation case goes through the recognition and management of this challenging condition. The learner should demonstrate expected competencies in the management of both clinical entities however the primary focus is in the simulation of the development and subsequent management of cerebral edema. This curriculum has been used by emergency medicine residents at SUNY Upstate in order to model a rare clinical entity to prepare them for their actual clinical encounters. The simulation case has been used by 30-33 residents with good success and very positive feedback. Continue reading >>
25-40% Of Newly Diagnosed Cases Present In Dka
Case Scenario #1 What is your assessment? DKA exists when: Venous pH < 7.3 Serum bicarbonate < 15 mEq/dL Blood glucose > 300 mg/dL Presence of ketonemia/ketonuria How much fluid would you administer as a bolus? Would you administer bicarbonate? How much insulin would you administer? What IVF would you start? At what rate? * 10 - 20 cc/kg bolus of NS would be adequate. Though the patient is dehydrated (dry lips), his hemodynamics are good, with acceptable vitals and good perfusion. There would be no reason to administer more than 20 cc/kg fluids. While this patient is clearly acidemic, he is NOT in impending cardiovascular collapse and therefore there is no justification for the administration of bicarbonate. In fact, administration of bicarbonate has been associated with the development of cerebral edema. The "true†serum sodium is 143 133 + 0.016[700-100] Insulin is generally started at 0.1 u/kg/hr. Therefore, in this 30 kg patient, an insulin infusion of 3 u/hr of regular insulin should be initiated. IVF of NS should be started at ~ 2400 cc/m2/day, which is approximately 1.5 x maintenance Continue reading >>
Acute Management Of Pediatric Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Acute Management of Pediatric Diabetic Ketoacidosis To view all publication components, extract (i.e., unzip) them from the downloaded .zip file. Editor's Note: This publication predates our implementation of the Educational Summary Report in 2016 and thus displays a different format than newer publications. Introduction: This educational tool is a PowerPoint presentation that allows providers to quickly access guidelines for acute management of pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). It was created after a chart review of pediatric patients with DKA determined that guidelines of DKA management were being incompletely followed. Methods: The resource contains recommendations from the American Diabetes Association guidelines, as well as a learning module consisting of a case scenario and three questions, each of which highlights important aspects of the care of pediatric patients with DKA.Session length should be no longer than 15 minutes. Results: Data are currently being collected on the reach of this educational tool. Discussion: The resource is limited by its short duration. It was deliberately designed to be readily accessible in a time-limited situation for initial care. Part of the education focuses on the complexity of pediatric patients with DKA, in the process making it clear that the three questions highlight only the most immediate clinical need. As a tool to be used in an acute care setting, this resource is adequate; however, a more comprehensive module with more detailed recommendations could be constructed for learners with less clinical experience.

Pediatric Diabetic Ketoacidosisclinical Presentation
Pediatric Diabetic KetoacidosisClinical Presentation Author: William H Lamb, MD, MBBS, FRCP(Edin), FRCP, FRCPCH; Chief Editor: Timothy E Corden, MD more... When diabetic ketoacidosis occurs as a first presentation of diabetes, symptoms are likely to develop over several days, with progressive dehydration and ketosis. In a small child wearing diapers and with naturally high fluid intake, polyuria and polydipsia are easily missed. When diabetes is developing, the stress and symptoms of another illness may precipitate diabetic ketoacidosis, as well as mask the underlying problem. Diabetic ketoacidosis can develop very rapidly in a patient with established diabetes, particularly when insulin therapy has been forgotten, deliberately omitted, or disrupted, as with children on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusions or using the newer analogue insulins. Under these circumstances, diabetic ketoacidosis may present with relatively normal blood glucose levels (ie, 250 mg/dL, 15 mmol/L) or less. Symptoms of hyperglycemia include the following: Polyuria - Increased volume and frequency of urination Polydipsia - Thirst is often extreme, with children waking at night to consume large quantities of any available drink Nocturia and secondary enuresis in a previously continent child Weight loss - May be dramatic due to breakdown of protein and fat stores Symptoms of acidosis and dehydration include the following: Abdominal pain that may be severe enough to present as a surgical emergency; for children with a failure of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, this may be the first presenting sign, along with vomiting Shortness of breath that may be mistaken for primary respiratory distress Confusion and coma in the absence of recognized head injury [ 1 ] Presentation of cerebral ede Continue reading >>
Diabetic Ketoacidosis: An Emergency Medicine Simulation Scenario
DOI: 10.7759/cureus.1286 Cite this article as: Addison R, Skinner T, Zhou F, et al. (May 29, 2017) Diabetic Ketoacidosis: An Emergency Medicine Simulation Scenario. Cureus 9(5): e1286. doi:10.7759/cureus.1286 Abstract Simulation provides a safe environment where learning is enhanced through the deliberate practice of skills and controlled management of a variety of clinical encounters. This is particularly important for core cases and low-frequency, high-stakes procedures and encounters. Competency-based medical education has seen widespread adoption in the field along with ongoing work in the areas of undergraduate and postgraduate training. Similarly, effective professional development activities stand to benefit greatly from a more stringent integration of simulation and competency-based approaches. This particularly makes sense when considering the goals of patient safety and achievement of optimal clinical outcomes. The current report describes a simulation training session designed to acquaint emergency medicine residents with the presentation and management of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) through the use of simulation.

Pediatric Dka | Em Sim Cases
Peer-reviewed simulation cases for Emergency Medicine programs available in FOAMed spirit. This case is written by Dr. Donika Orlich.She is an Emergency physician practising in the Greater Toronto Area. She completed her Emergency Medicine training at McMaster University and also obtained a fellowship in simulation and medical education during her training. DKA is a reasonably common presentation to the ED. However, it requires several important steps in its management in order to prevent harm. This is especially true in children, where the rates of cerebral edema are higher. This case highlights several important features in the management of Pediatric DKA, including: That there is no role for an insulin bolus. That the precipitant of DKA must always be considered (in this case, it is appendicitis) That cerebral edema is a known complication of DKA and must be managed immediately with a reduction in the insulin and fluid rates as well as with either mannitol or hypertonic saline We have previously published a case of Pediatric DKA on emsimcases. Todays case is unique in that it begins with the learners providing advice over the phone to a physician who is less comfortable managing DKA. We have chosen to publish on this topic a second time as a way to emphasizes how cases on the same topic can be designed with different objectives in mind. The objectives (and therefore the case design) can lead to very different learning experiences. We have no doubt that this new case will also lead to excellent debriefing and evidence review with learners it certainly does when we run it for our senior residents at McMaster University! The learners receive a call from a peripheral hospital about transferring an unwell 8-year-old girl with new DKA. She has been incorrectly managed, re Continue reading >>
Case Based Pediatrics Chapter
This is a 9 year old boy who has enjoyed his usual state of good health until his polyuria started 2 months ago. He began to lose weight and reported worsening nocturia over this same period. His appetite increased although lately he has more episodes of stomachaches. Today, he had a noticeably sweet smell to his breath and he was breathing faster than usual so his mother brought him to his pediatrician. Exam: VS T 37.0, RR 44, P 92, BP110/60, oxygen saturation 100% on room air. His weight was 25 kg (25%tile). He is alert and cooperative. His skin is warm to his wrists and ankles. His oral mucous membranes are tacky. His capillary refill is 3 seconds over his chest. His skin was otherwise normal. His thyroid gland is approximately 1.5 times the normal size. His heart rate is regular. He is slightly tachypneic with clear breath sounds. His reflexes are normal. His abdomen has normal bowel sounds has no tenderness. His genitalia and pubic hair are in Tanner stage I. The rest of the physical examination is unremarkable. His pediatrician suspects new onset diabetes mellitus. A urine dipstick in the office shows 4+ glucose and 2+ ketones. No other dipstick abnormalities are noted. He is clinically stable. He is hospitalized for further management and treatment. His initial lab studies show Na 132, K3.3, Cl 99, bicarb 11, glucose 380, BUN 21, creatinine 0.4. He is started on an IV fluid infusion and subcutaneous insulin. Prior to the purification of insulin, type 1 diabetes mellitus was uniformly lethal. Although we have made significant strides in the evaluation and management of diabetes, it remains a significant health problem in the general population. In the pediatric subset of the population, type 1 diabetes mellitus is especially challenging since so many factors need Continue reading >>
Current Variability Of Clinical Practice Management Of Pediatric Diabetic Ketoacidosis In Illinois Pediatric Emergency Departments

Episode 63 – Pediatric Dka
Pediatric DKA was identified as one of key diagnoses that we need to get better at managing in a massive national needs assessment conducted by the fine folks at TREKK – Translating Emergency Knowledge for Kids – one of EM Cases' partners who's mission is to improve the care of children in non-pediatric emergency departments across the country. You might be wondering – why was DKA singled out in this needs assessment? It turns out that kids who present to the ED in DKA without a known history of diabetes, can sometimes be tricky to diagnose, as they often present with vague symptoms. When a child does have a known history of diabetes, and the diagnosis of DKA is obvious, the challenge turns to managing severe, life-threatening DKA, so that we avoid the many potential complications of the DKA itself as well as the complications of treatment – cerebral edema being the big bad one. The approach to these patients has evolved over the years, even since I started practicing, from bolusing insulin and super aggressive fluid resuscitation to more gentle fluid management and delayed insulin drips, as examples. There are subtleties and controversies in the management of DKA when it comes to fluid management, correcting serum potassium and acidosis, preventing cerebral edema, as well as airway management for the really sick kids. In this episode we'll be asking our guest pediatric emergency medicine experts Dr. Sarah Reid, who you may remember from her powerhouse performance on our recent episodes on pediatric fever and sepsis, and Dr. Sarah Curtis, not only a pediatric emergency physician, but a prominent pediatric emergency researcher in Canada, about the key historical and examination pearls to help pick up this sometimes elusive diagnosis, what the value of serum Continue reading >>

Diabetic Emergencies, Part 5: Dka Case Studies
Case Study 1 A 32-year-old male with type 1 diabetes since the age of 14 years was taken to the emergency room because of drowsiness, fever, cough, diffuse abdominal pain, and vomiting. Fever and cough started 2 days ago and the patient could not eat or drink water. He has been treated with an intensive insulin regimen (insulin glargine 24 IU at bedtime and a rapid-acting insulin analog before each meal). On examination he was tachypneic, his temperature was 39° C (102.2° F), pulse rate 104 beats per minute, respiratory rate 24 breaths per minute, supine blood pressure 100/70 mmHg; he also had dry mucous membranes, poor skin turgor, and rales in the right lower chest. He was slightly confused. Rapid hematology and biochemical tests showed hematocrit 48%, hemoglobin 14.3 g/dl (143 g/L), white blood cell count 18,000/ μ l, glucose 450 mg/dl (25.0 mmol/L), urea 60 mg/dl (10.2 mmol/L), creatinine 1.4 mg/dl (123.7 μ mol/L), Na+ 152 mEq/L, K+ 5.3 mEq/L, PO4 3−2.3 mEq/L (0.74 mmol/L), and Cl− 110 mmol/L. Arterial pH was 6.9, PO 2 95 mmHg, PCO 2 28 mmHg, HCO 3−9 mEq/L, and O 2 sat 98%. The result of the strip for ketone bodies in urine was strongly positive and the concentration of β-OHB in serum was 3.5 mmol/L. Urinalysis showed glucose 800 mg/dl and specific gravity 1030. What is your diagnosis? The patient has hyperglycemia, ketosis, and metabolic acidosis. Therefore, he has DKA. In addition, because of the pre-existing fever, cough, localized rales on auscultation and high white blood cell count, a respiratory tract infection should be considered. The patient is also dehydrated and has impaired renal function. Do you need more tests to confirm the diagnosis? Determination of the effective serum osmolality and anion gap should be performed in all patients presenti Continue reading >>

Apartment blocks for doctors
current function
Bárdošova, Bratislava
Konček Ferdinand, Skoček Iľja, Titl Ľubomír
Pozemné stavby Bratislava
1967 – 1973
Placed on a sloping site, the complex is formed from a number of separate blocks arranged along the roadway, divided further into sections that touch at the gable walls. Directly in contact with ul. Bárdošova are the garages, which form a plinth below the mass of the apartment blocks. The actual apartments are shifted away from the road, and on the roof of the garages are terraces that serve as a semi-public space for the residents. Surrounding the complex is a strip of greenery; a children's playground is in the section north of the buildings. The blocks are relatively small, of only three storeys. The southern street facade is formed by relatively deep balconies, reaching into the actual mass of the buildings; their full railings, covered with glass mosaic tiles, run along the entire section of the building and reinforce the sense of horizontality. Inside, the blocks contain a mixture of traditional and maisonette flats. The maisonettes do not have on floor directly above the other, but are shifted transversely with the upper floor running along the entire width of the buildings.
Apartment blocks of a similar character by the same three designers are also found in ul. Jančova in Bratislava. The overall concept of the massing, the human scale of the proportions, the sensitive situation in the landscape, the involvement with public or semi-public spaces in the vicinity, and the artistic, indeed sculptural approach to the formation of the masses all make these two projects attractive and still-inspiring examples of contemporary urban residences.

Razzberry Kush Delta 8 THC Cartridge
Additional Product Information
- Suggested Use: 1–2 puffs to establish individual tolerance
- Ingredients: Delta 8 distillate and terpenes
What is Delta 8 THC?
Delta-8 THC is an isomer of CBD, is derived from hemp and CBD, and is a psychoactive cannabinoid that packs several benefits. The unique cannabinoid is different, chemically, from its close relative, Delta-9 THC. It only differs from a few atomic bonds. However, it occurs in small concentrations and is Hemp derived making it Hemp compliant because it contains less than 0.3% of Delta 9 THC as required under the 2018 Farm Bill.
Will Delta 8 THC get me high?
All of our Delta 8 THC is psychoactive, which means it has the ability to get you high. Therefore, we don't recommend you operate heavy machinery as Delta 8 THC might impair your judgment. In addition, we strongly recommend not to consume Delta 8 THC while pregnant or breastfeeding. The onset effects of Delta 8 THC might be delayed for up to 15 – 30 minutes after using a cartridge.
Delta 8 THC Indica Strains
The 3 primary strains in Delta 8 THC are Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid. When you think of Indica, think of "in the couch" because Indica tends to be associated with relaxation. Also, Indica is best to use at night or if you have a couple of hours to relax. The potency of Indica is the same as Delta 8 THC Sativa or Hybrid strains.
Is Delta 8 THC Potent?
Although Delta 8 THC is not as potent as Marijuana (Delta 9 THC) this doesn't mean that it's not potent. In fact, if you take too much Delta 8 THC at one time you might not enjoy the type of experience that it produces. Therefore, we recommend going off the suggested use that's located on the back of the label of each product.
Delta Extrax Original Collection
Our Original Collection features premium Delta 8 THC which was the original cannabinoid that started the popularity of Hemp-derived THC. In our Original Collection you will find different types of strains and methods of use. Although some products tend to be a little stronger than others, the best Delta 8 THC product comes down to your preference. All of our cartridges in the Original Collection are among our best sellers and if you subscribe you will get a special discount.
