A preparation for something else, or a work in progress.
It means I know this is less than perfect. It means the piecemeal composition is acknowledged, should be applauded.
"And to my horror (for I had read the books which now all but crowded us out of the apartment) I discovered I knew nothing whatever about the grueling, mundane business of making form out of fragments." -- Frederick Exley, "A Fan's Notes"
"Form connotes and carries with it expectation." -- Ander Monson, "Fragments: On Dentistry"
It means this is less than perfect, and hence more real. The crude shape a virtue. The rough edges. Texture over all.
In Laurie Sheck's novel, "A Monster's Notes" (Alfred A. Knopf: 544 pp., $28), Victor Frankenstein's creation is alive and well and living in New York.
Mary Shelley's creation has come unstuck in time. He lives in New York or did until recently. He passes Tower Records, a Duane Reade drugstore. He takes notes on the news, developments in science. He reads abandoned books, is privy to whole correspondences, is a historian of his own loneliness.
The novel's first part is "Ice Diary"; the second is "Dream of the Red Chamber"; the last is "Metropolis/The Ruins at Luna." But the best parts of the book are in the "notes" -- lyric essays on time, space, leprosy, art. On Albertus Magnus, on John Cage. The sinews of this odd and unwieldy creature.
"I didn't seek to find her," Sheck writes in her preface, "wandered instead within and among her fragments of language -- notebooks, drafts, journals, fictions, letters, essays, and found there whole worlds spinning like planets, lived in their cold light and burnings light, wondering where I was, where they might take me. Curious, I heard a monster's voice, and out of some sharp need I followed."
Mary Shelley's stepsister Claire's letters, invented, real. Hesitant, aborted:
"So even liberty is a prison xxxxxxx and xxxx"
Much in that manner.
Writing is revision, or a kind of madness. Claire's cross-outs (xxx) resemble the stitches on the monster -- they are words left suspended in the air of the page.
When does a poet (Sheck is one) become a novelist? Sensationally great novels by poets: James Lasdun, "The Horned Man"; Robert Kelly, "The Scorpions"; John Ashbery and James Schuyler, "A Nest of Ninnies"
Ashbery and Schuyler trading off lines initially.
"On the first notebook's pages," Sheck writes in the preface, "she penciled in a left-hand margin, and there Percy Shelley left his comments and marks. Picture two hands moving side by side, she writing 'creature,' he (in some impulse of tenderness, kindness?) crossing it out, replacing it with 'being.'
Reading "Frankenstein" afresh: I see it as a commentary on (and twisted how-to kit for) the novel, that magpie form. A restlessness of form. A series of letters by an Arctic-bound explorer to his sister gets taken over by Victor Frankenstein's life story (a tangled affair in itself), which dissolves the artifice of correspondence for most of the book. And, at one point, Frankenstein's narration gets dominated by a soon-to-be one-sided dialogue with his creation.
We unthinkingly refer to the monster as "Frankenstein," understandable when the frame is so crooked, and creature and creator present themselves with equal eloquence.
Sheck embeds texts or, rather, lets them slip into and out of the pages; she compounds the vertigo. Characters write letters about books that they're translating; they quote passages, which are in fact like passages from one world to another.
The text as body.
Any line could serve as a metaphor for Sheck's project and process, such as:
"[Lady Su Hui's 'Xuan Ji Tu shi' is] a poem composed of 841 characters woven into a five-colored tapestry and arranged in a perfect square. Reading it, there's no need to start at the beginning or move straight to the end. Instead, it can be entered anywhere."
"Of Archilocos we have not one single work entire and most of the context's fallen away".
As the monster explains: "You worked to make the parts of me combine to form a new, amazing being."
More where that came from.
A commonplace book, a cover version of "Frankenstein," a epistolary novel. A commentary on revision, translation -- what lives in the margins.
"Where do you end and I begin?"
The fiction of "A Monster's Notes" is framed (as a found text) by a letter, dated June 30, 2007: "This is to inform you that the final closing on your building at East 6th Street was successfully completed . . . [Y]esterday afternoon as I made my last walk-through, I found on the second floor a shorter note, a manuscript wrapped in a rubber band, and an old computer. . . ."
It's the monster's handwriting. He muses: "And Clerval, that gentle man who everyone thought dead -- in fact he traveled east as he wanted. Even now I sometimes picture his hand moving in patient transcription as day after day he translated the 'Dream of the Red Chamber' in his house at the foot of Xianghan Hill. . . . " Clerval was Victor Frankenstein's faithful friend, destroyed by the monster in Shelley's novel, but here living in China, translating "The Story of the Stone," or "A Dream of Red Mansions," or "Dream of the Red Chamber."
"Dream of the Red Chamber," 18th century. Unfinished by the author, who is Cao Xuequin, or is he. Commentary by "Red Inkstone," who might also be Cao.
Originally published anonymously.
Unfinished by the author and hence potentially perfect, endlessly expandable in the mind.
Question for the reader: Why start what cannot stop?
Partial list of books never completed by their authors but published: Charles Dickens, "The Mystery of Edwin Drood"; Robert Musil, "The Man Without Qualities"; Walter Benjamin, "The Arcades Project."
"Those days in the graveyard I traveled across many pages which frequently ended in mid-sentence -- the books I found were mostly torn -- so my travels were wayward, random, disrupted, though maybe the mind mostly travels in this way."
"The whole issue of the unfinished is a living idea," writes the monster.
"[S]omething unfinished changes," he continues. "That means it's in a certain way alive."
As Sheck demonstrates, the lyric essay is a kind of Frankenstein's monster, equipped with parts sliced out of others, stitched up with genius and white space:
"Claire. Air. Care. Clear. Claire."
"If I could see intervals as well as objects. . . ."
"How slowly the time passes here, encompassed as I am by frost and snow!" -- "Frankenstein"
"Architecture of oblivion, its drifts."
"Winter darkness pulls over like a monk's cowl, enclosing us in worlds where strange things take place, where anything can happen, where the mind goes where it's never gone before, and stays." -- Gretel Ehrlich, "The Future of Ice"
I started this review before finishing the book, in the form of notes. I didn't know I was writing the review yet. I have another file just as long.
Fungibility of the notebook mode. Juxtaposition is easy, at times even arbitrary; effects perhaps no less revelatory or pungent.
"As the minuteness of the parts formed a great hindrance to my speed, I resolved, contrary to my first intention, to make the being of a gigantic stature; that is to say, about eight feet in height, and proportionally large. After having formed this determination and having spent some months in successfully collecting and arranging my materials, I began." --"Frankenstein"
Cut and paste.
When am I writing this sentence?
Page 271, in its entirety: "The monks in their patchwork rags . . . and I a patchwork . . . the workings of each mind a patchwork, each self roughly stitched as you stitched me."
The energies of "A Monster's Notes" are not incompatible with those of the Web. Thought for future development: Unruly, genre-leaking books like Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's "Dictee," Ishmael Reed's "Mumbo Jumbo" and David Markson's "Wittgenstein's Mistress" might seem merely reflexive today, when we write in fragments, when our blogs and Twitter feeds and Facebook pages are de facto lyric essays, Frankenstein creations.
The intricacies of Shelley's life (who was Claire?) unclear to me till I went to Wikipedia. Sheck also embeds into her book Wikipedia, Google searches, Unknown Hosts, Redirections. All this webwork.
"The dissecting room and the slaughter-house furnished many of my materials; and often did my human nature turn with loathing from my occupation, whilst, still urged on by an eagerness which perpetually increased, I brought my work near to a conclusion. . . . With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet." --"Frankenstein"
R. e-mails me that our friend J. has to take blood pressure medication because she drinks too much coffee, which makes me laugh. But also that J. "had this horrifying story about recently running into a crime scene near her house where a man had been cut into little pieces in a box." Which makes me think I will never get to sleep. I do, but in the middle of the night a storm centers itself overhead. I am not dreaming and now I understand the term "rolling thunder," the noise caroming like a ball in a roulette wheel, a ball the size of 20 baseball stadiums, a wheel with a diameter the length of Manhattan. Car alarms go off. I silently count the seconds before, or is it after, lightning penetrates the armor of the venetian blinds, to scrape my eyes and shock the bedsheets silver.

For such a small cluster, this will most likely mean making sure each host has an entry in the /etc/hosts file of each host. Also, is there a reason you're still running Red Hat 7.2? Red Hat is no longer putting out updates for it, which means there are probably quite a number of security vulnerabilities in it. Since the entire UNC system has a RHEL site-license, I'd recommend upgrading to RHEL3.

Subject: Take the prozac--more on energy
I just read Twilight in the Desert, by Matt Simmons, an investment banker for the energy industry. I had the pleasure of meeting him several times last year at industry conferences. The 450 page tome discusses the state of the Saudi oil fields and I learned a lot from this book--where is that prozac?
The Sauds are apparently playing a PR shell game. They keep mentioning fields they can bring online to replace Ghawar (the world's largest oil field). The thing I didn't know was that many of these fields have already been produced and found wanting. Consider what Simmons says about Qatif(which has high H2S content and lies beneath a populated area)
"In 1951, following production startup, oil production at Qatif fluctuated between 15,000 and 40,000 barrels per day through 1966.
In 1979, the field reached its highest output of 150,000 barrels a day.
By 1982, the last time it was reported, Qatif's production had fallen to 40,000 barrels per day, despite the fact that Saudi Arabia was straining to keep its total oil production at all-time high levels." Matthew R. Simmons, Twilight in the Desert, (New York: John Wiley & Sons, 2005), p. 216
"Just the fact that Saudi Aramco selected Qatif for its next investment project, following its complicated and expensive Shaybah field development, is further evidence of the limited potential of the almost 90 oil and gas fields 'found but never produced' that clutter the company's asset portfolio." Matthew R. Simmons, Twilight in the Desert, (New York: John Wiley & Sons, 2005), p.217-218
To claim that one will bring on line a field which has already produced for years is shear fantasy. An UK company went broke this year trying to bring Ardmore field back online in the NOrth Sea.
Simmons also pointed out why the southern part of Ghawar doesn't have many wells in it. The average permeability of the rock is around 13 millidarcies (for the uninitiated, really good fields have perms of over 1000 millidarcies. The lower the millidarcies the less fluid can move out of the rock into the borehole). What this means is that the reservoir model on the bottom of my web page http://home.entouch.net/dmd/ghawar.htm actually covers the sweet spot (Uthmaniya area) in this most important of fields. And it shows that there isn't much oil left which puts a sharp point on the comment of my reservoir engineer friend who, upon seeing that model, said, "Kiss your lifestyle goodbye, its over!" (more prozace needed).
Simmons notes that Uthmaniya accounts for 4.4 of the 5 million barrels per day of production out of Ghawar (p. 379). There isn't much left to it.
Right now I am listening to CNBC and Puru Saxena (an analyst) is saying that over the past 200 years every commodity boom has been associated with a war cycle Commodities of all varieities have been rising quite nicely over the past couple of years.
What a fun century we will have. But not all is doom and gloom. John Bloom's talk at the ASA caused me to re-evaluate solar. The August National Geographic had an interesting article on energy (but said that oil would peak in the next several decades--a hopelessly optimistic view). Like John's experiment with solar this article says:
"At present levels of efficiency it would take about 10,000 square miles of solarpanels—an area bigger than Vermont-to satisfy all of the United State's electrial needs. But the land requirement sounds more daunting than it is: Open country wouldn't have to be covered. All those panels could fit on less than a quarter of the roof and pavement area in cities and suburbs." Michael Parfit, "Future Power," National Geographic, August 2005, p. 18
But back to the doom and gloom, the article also notes of nuclear:
"The readily available uranium fuel won't last much more than 50 years." Michael Parfit, "Future Power," National Geographic, August 2005, p.26

A research firm called One Touch studied Hulu from August 12 to 17 and then put together a handy chart showing what you get for your ten bucks a month from ABC, FOX, NBC when you subscribe to Hulu Plus over plain, old-fashioned Hulu:
I already pay for the cheapest Netflix subscription ($9/mo), basic HD cable ($80/mo), MLB.TV ($150/yr) and the occasional iTunes rental for trips where my iPad is out of the wi-fi range needed for the Netflix app ($4/rental). We can't imagine a scenario in which these shows would entice us to sign up for Hulu Plus. You?

Tom Mowery needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 55 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
This design is for a team that has been together for a long time and were looking for a new change. The last logo was something like this in words. The 1 was a pole with a long fishing line across the top of the logo with a hook. The 1 also was a golf club.I would like it to be alittle more crazy but have a cool look. Would like it to have an aggressive appearance and stand out.
19th hole
I do not want it to have any pastals (colors). The color of the boat is a light blue hull with a ocean blue T-Top. The rest of the boat is white. The engine color is metallic grey. The team consist of three guys that are simple but we enjoy having fun.
Keep the colors close in the color of the boat. No rainbows or sissy colors. An aggressive style.
I answered that above but I also don't want all capital letters. Maybe using the font nyala or something unusual.

This Month in HIV: State-of-the-Art: HIV/AIDS Medications for the Treatment Experienced
April 2007
To help us learn more about dealing with multidrug resistance, I contacted Dr. Eric Daar, the chief of HIV medicine at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles and a professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine. He has been an active HIV physician and researcher since the 1980s, and is an authority on multidrug resistance.
Dr. Daar, I was wondering if you could tell me a little bit about what you do.
Sure. I'm a clinician scientist. I work at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center, where we take care of about 800 to 900 HIV-infected individuals in our clinic. We have largely a Ryan White-funded program, and take care of a very diverse patient population. We're dealing with many of the complexities of both [patients'] life and HIV disease. We have a very active research program -- primarily clinical research -- as well as research to better define how HIV actually causes disease. We study people, looking at novel ways to treat, or optimize therapy, as well as to further understand what's going on with the interaction between the person and the virus.
How has the treatment of people who are treatment-experienced changed over the years? Are we in a new era now?
Yes. I don't think there's any question about it. Things have evolved over the last five years or so, and continue to evolve, particularly with the emergence of new drugs and new classes. We have, for a long time, realized that when people don't do well on their initial regimen that they can develop drug-resistant virus. In the early era of combination antiretroviral therapy, often that first regimen was the best shot at full suppression, and after that it became very difficult.
With new drugs, with new characteristics, we have had better success in people who have failed perhaps their first, or even second, regimen, with viral rebound. I think what we're finding now is that, even for people who are on their third, fourth or fifth regimen, we have a reasonable chance of achieving our goal, which has now evolved to being complete viral suppression -- even in these people who are more treatment experienced with multidrug-resistant virus.
Could we define treatment-experienced? If someone has a resistance test and they're resistant to almost everything, does that mean that they're now a treatment-experienced or rescue patient? What if someone only took one or two regimens; does that mean that they are suddenly in that category of "treatment experienced"?
Yes. Really, at least when I talk about somebody being treatment experienced, I'm thinking of the person who, for any one of a variety of reasons, has had difficulties with their first, early regimens, whether that's because they've experienced viral rebound with drug-resistant virus, or because they've not tolerated existing agents; I think of them as treatment experienced.
"... we don't just look at the results from the current resistance test right now; we'll also want to go back and look through the patient's medical record and perhaps look at previous drug resistance tests to further define what kinds of resistant virus they'd selected for in the past."
Then, from the perspective of resistance, we can further characterize them as having limited treatment options, being highly drug resistant -- or, perhaps, those who have a lot of options, because they don't have a lot of resistance but maybe have had some difficulties with their earlier regimens because of tolerability, or their ability to take the medications consistently.
So we really hate to put everybody in the same group, and we're thinking about a range of individuals who have been on treatment in the past and are looking at subsequent regimens, some of whom have many options as far as available treatments, and others who are more limited.
In terms of dealing with a resistance test that shows that someone is resistant to everything, what are the first things that you do?
One of the more complicated situations is in people who have a lot of drug resistance. The current guidelines have recommended for the last year or so, that our goal still be to see if we can come up with a new regimen that would allow them to have complete viral suppression, or get their viral loads to levels that are undetectable. The reason we do that is partly because, obviously, we think they'll do better. But even more importantly, it's because we believe if we can do that, we can prevent their virus from becoming resistant to the new drugs, as well. That's why it's our goal.
I'll preface this by saying that, while that is our goal, it's not always achievable in everybody. It's not to suggest that if you can't achieve that goal right now, all is lost -- because that's clearly not the case. It just means that we need to redefine the goals and be strategic.
Let me tell you how we work through a patient like this, who comes to us, who has perhaps been on therapy in the past and has experienced viral rebound on that treatment. The first thing we'll do is that we'll try to get a sense as to which group they fall within. Are they the kind of person who is treatment experienced, with minimal drug-resistant virus, or a lot of drug resistance? You mentioned a patient who has the more extensive resistance pattern. But it can really be everything in between.
We'll look at their drug resistance, usually with a drug resistance test, whether it be a genotype or a phenotype -- but one of these tests that can be performed in the clinic and will give us the sense as to which drugs their virus may still be susceptible to.
In addition (and this is extremely important), we don't just look at the results from the current resistance test; we'll also want to go back and look through the patient's medical record and perhaps look at previous drug resistance tests to further define what kinds of resistant virus they'd selected for in the past. We'll also look at their treatment history. Sometimes that will give us clues as to which drugs may or may not be active.
So then it's really important that patients keep a copy of their medical records.
It's extremely important that patients keep a copy of their records, particularly in the current era, where people do move around a lot, or their insurance changes and forces them to seek out medical care in another environment. So as proactive as the patient can be in making sure that they have access to all their medical records, the better since it will assist their new provider in coming up with the best regimen.
Could you define viral rebound?
Yes. Viral rebound: What we're talking about in the most obvious case is somebody whose viral load went to undetectable, or below the limits of detection with the current assays [tests]. Then, while they're taking treatment, suddenly it's noted that their virus rebounds, or comes back up to detectable levels. We realize that sometimes that can happen at low levels, and it's meaningless. You simply repeat the results and it's back down to undetectable, in which case there's no problem. But in the people where it's persistently detectable, we think they have had viral rebound.
That can occur for a variety of reasons. The obvious one, and the one we're focusing on is that the person has actually developed resistance to their drugs. But there are other times where that may not be true. It may be because they are simply not taking their medications consistently.
"If you don't achieve that goal of getting an undetectable viral load -- that is our optimal goal -- then it's inevitable that some resistance or increasing resistance will occur."
Is HIV drug resistance always a consequence of someone not taking their meds?
No. Resistance can occur for a lot of reasons. One of the big risk factors for it occurring is not taking the medications consistently. But it can also occur if the regimen that's selected is not sufficiently potent or doesn't have enough active drugs within the regimen to get the virus down to undetectable. If you don't achieve that goal of getting an undetectable viral load -- that is our optimal goal -- then it's inevitable that some resistance or increasing resistance will occur.
Walk me through this. If someone has an undetectable viral load and they get the results of their most recent viral load test and their viral load is now detectable, how quickly should something be done? What should be done? Is it at that point that a drug resistance test should be taken?
I think the first step is to make sure the person's taking the medications consistently. This requires a very open dialogue between the patient and the provider. Because we really want our patients to feel comfortable sharing with us any problems they are having with taking their medications. This is a group effort. This isn't something that needs to be left to the patient alone. If they are having difficulties, whether it's because the medications make them sick, or the way the medications are given -- is it a bad time of the day for them, around their work or schedule, or other factors -- or if the person is using drugs, or depressed, or binge drinking on the weekends and missing their doses. The best thing that the patient can do is share that with their provider, so that we can work together to figure out what to do next to try to avoid the development of resistance.
So that's the first step. The next step is to make sure that that rebound in virus is consistent. So we'll generally repeat the test. I don't think there's any urgency -- meaning, days or minutes -- but over the next week, or month, these things need to be sorted out so a decision can be made as to whether to do a drug resistance test, and then how, or if, to modify therapy based upon those results.
So what's the timeline for all this? Let's say I get back a viral load test that is detectable. Then am I immediately given another test? Or do you wait a week or so?
I don't think there are hard and fast rules. I wouldn't wait three months. But I think, over the next week or several weeks or a month, depending on convenience for the patient, I don't think a lot is going to change over that period of time. But you don't want it to go on much longer than three to six weeks.
So you get another viral load test. If that test shows that you're still detectable, then is that the point when a resistance test is given?
Yes. I think that would be the right time [to give another resistance test]. There are some caveats. In people whose viral loads are low -- for example, less than maybe 1,000 -- there can be difficulties in doing drug resistance testing. So sometimes they need to be followed more closely, or occasionally decisions need to be made on changing therapy without resistance testing. That requires a more detailed discussion.

The intent of Test-Script module is to provide a series of basic
tests for 80% of the testing you will need to do for scripts in the
script (or bin as is also commonly used) paths of your Perl
distribution. Further, it aims to provide this functionality with
perfect platform-compatibility, and in a way that is as unobtrusive
as possible.
This requires: perl-IPC-Run3, perl-Probe-Perl

text: Hello, we are interested in flashing a BIOS image and in manipulating the NVRAM of the motherboard automatically. Unfortunately, using certain vendors, the access to the NVRAM is not straightforward. These vendors are offering DOS tools only, to write in the NVRAM, hence, we have to boot a DOS image and here starts the trouble. Optimally, using the DOS environment does following things: * flashes the BIOS * sets the NVRAM * sends a message to the install server The last point is necessary to prepare pxeboot for the installation process. It also means, we need networking under DOS. In particular, we are looking for a DOS-DHCP client. Everything needs to be packed on a 2,9M floppy image. Has somebody experiences with this? In the worst case, the DOS environment is working autonomously and the install server is 'guessing' whether the BIOS is flashed or not on the clients, e.g., by analyzing the DHCP logs, but this is not what we really want.

Hackensaw Boys
- Knoxville, TN
- 12/01/2017
For touring musicians, the road is a harsh mistress. It takes an iron will to survive and a hard-headed love for music so deeply ingrained that the mere thought of a missed gig makes you nauseous. For 19 years, the Hackensaw Boys have plowed the asphalt, bringing their raw, gritty version of American roots music to the venues and streets that originally inspired them. Born in Virginia, along the same routes as fellow road warriors/street buskers Old Crow Medicine Show, the Hackensaw Boys have at times operated more as a collective than a band, sometimes boasting up to twenty members. What's kept them together is a burning hot vision of American roots music brought kicking and screaming into a new age, fueled as much by a rowdy punk spirit as by the traditional masters that first inspired them. The Hackensaw Boys have always had more in common with bands like The Clash, who celebrated the working class roots of their own music, than they did with an overly-polished Nashville mainstream. As evidenced in the Hackensaws' history, their music fit as easily as the backing band for Charlie Louvin as it did in backstage jams on tour with Modest Mouse or the Flaming Lips.
Stalwart roots group Hackensaw Boys to stop at Barley's on Dec. 1
Hot off a recent string of dates supporting G. Love & Special Sauce, Hackensaw Boys will make a stop at Barley's in Knoxville, TN on Dec. 1. In their 18th year as a band, Hackensaw Boys still deliver the spirited, rowdy live show that's come to be expected, performing both old favorites and new tunes from Charismo, out now on Free Dirt Records.
Charismo is the Hackensaw Boys record you've been waiting to hear. The 11-track album feels like the zenith release of the band's 18 years, gathering their diverse life experiences and myriad of roots influences, and crystallizing them into a magnum opus on the Hackensaw way of being. Traditional Appalachian and Delta music lay the groundwork, but it's injected with a heavy dose of the contemporary, good-times-roll kind of spit and vinegar the band has become known for over the years.
Produced by Larry Campbell--who has lent his talents to Bob Dylan, Levon Helm, and countless others--Charismo sees the band reeled in and slightly refined, though still as spirited as ever. The songs (all written by longtime Hackensaws David Sickmen and Ferd Moyse) are tinged with an attitude of scrappy resilience, spinning tales and metaphors of everyday, working class struggles and triumphs. With Campbell's production, the Hackensaw's somewhat casual, porch-front aesthetic is sharpened around the edges, focusing in on the simple beauty of their melodies and the earnestness in their delivery.
Transcendent of the parts that make up its whole, the record has a collective feel that reflects the band's rambling history; the Hackensaws have been a home for dozens of musicians over the years, but have steadfastly endured through life's many changes. With Charismo, the Boys don't let down on providing their signature ever-present, feel-good energy. It's the kind of intangible presence that reminds us of our connection to other people and to our history, to the idea that we are a part of something much larger than ourselves.

These disorders may occur in any organ innervated by the autonomic nervous system, since overactivity or underactivity of that system as a result of stress appears to trigger the disorder. See also disease, psychosomatic.
disorder(s), visual,
n.pl disorders that may result from injury or disease to the eyeball and its adnexa, the retina, or the cornea (e.g., contusions of the orbit and eyelids, opacities of the lens, corneal scars, vascular changes to the retina). These peripheral disorders are effective in causing partial or total loss of vision in one or both eyes. They are simple, concrete, and fundamental. One sees or one does not see, and gray visions are generally quantitative differences that affect the perception of light and shadow and color and form. They may also result from injury or disease to the optic tract fibers, optic chiasma, cerebral pathways, and visual cortex in the occipital region of the cerebrum. These are qualitative deviations from normal, and the symptoms include visual field defects such as tubular vision found in hysteria, complete blindness in one or both eyes as a result of optic nerve injury, and hemianopsia, in which vision may be lost in one half of the visual field of one or both eyes. Others include night and day blindness, color blindness, and the serious visual agnosia that results from trauma, tumor, or vascular disorders in the visual cortex of the cerebrum.
disorder(s), cognitive impairment,
n.pl the mental disorders distinguished by a limitation of mental functions (e.g., memory, comprehension, and judgment).
disorder(s), dissociative,
n.pl the mental disorders distinguished by the psychologically induced, distinct partition of separate mental functions from normal behavior or consciousness (e.g., dissociative amnesia and depersonalization disorder).
disorder(s), factitious
n.pl the mental disorders distinguished by the self-induced creation of artificial physical or mental symptoms to assume the role of a sick individual.
n.pl the mental disorders distinguished by the self-induced creation of artificial physical or mental symptoms to assume the role of a sick individual.
disorder(s), feeding,
n.pl conditions distinguished by an inability to eat sufficiently, a continual need to consume abnormal items of food or substances lacking nutrients, or frequent vomiting episodes without any indications of a gastrointestinal infection.
disorder(s), impulse control,
n.pl the mental disorders distinguished by an uncontrollable tendency to commit an unplanned behavior (e.g., pathologic gambling, kleptomania, and pyromania).
disorder(s), sexual,
n.pl disorders of sexual performance or desire, which may include sexual dysfunction, feelings of discomfort about one's gender, and perverse sexual urges or activities. Also called paraphilia.
disorder(s), sleep,
n.pl conditions characterized by a disruption in normal sleeping patterns, which may be the result of serious medical conditions, including breathing difficulties or thyroid disorders, or external factors such as stress or substance abuse. Manifestations include insomnia, sleep apnea, and narcolepsy.
disorder(s), somatoform
n.pl disorders characterized by symptoms that seem to suggest the presence of an illness, but for which there is no physical proof. Often may be attributed to unresolved emotional conflicts. Types include conversion disorder, hypochondriasis, body dysmorphic disorder, and pain disorder.
disorder(s), substance-related,
n.pl conditions or illnesses that may be directly attributed to overuse of drugs, alcohol, nicotine, or caffeine and may also include nutritional deficiencies, cardiovascular disease, oral lesions, liver disease, and sleep disorders.
disorder(s), tic,
n.pl conditions characterized by involuntary and sometimes violent muscle spasms, including Tourette's syndrome and chronic motor or vocal tic disorders.
a derangement or abnormality of function. Used as a euphemism when it is not certain that the abnormality is in fact a disease, or when public relations suggest that the word disease is likely to be inflammatory or upsetting.
Patient discussion about disorder
Q. My sister has this disease and she works at a daycare.Can this disease be airbourne? Children come to the daycare sick. Some of her co-workers were out from work because they got sick from some of the children.
A. I don't know which disease you are talking about specifically, but certainly viruses and bacterias from sick children can infect people around them, especially close contacts like workers in a day-care center. The best way to avoid infections are usually washing hands multiple time a day and after holding the kids, this also helps to not infect the other kids around.
Q. Mood- disorder? What will happen to the people who refuse treatment? I know someone whose mother got diagnosed with "mood- disorder" and now this person says that she don't have it. But all her brothers and sisters have this, and are on medication. Is there a way to save our family heritage?
A. well done, i will start to collect with the agreement of Iri possible causes for disorders (bipolar, mood, whatever you want to call it) to help people to recognize themselves. they all can start in the moment we are in the embryo. parental conflicts, aggressions, sexual behaviours, drugs, alcohol, smoking in abondance can affect us from this moment on.
Q. Whats schizoaffective disease its a mental disease
A. Schitzoaffective is a mental disease that causes symptoms of schitzophrenia and symptoms of bi-polar. patients see things, hear voices, are moody,etc.Patients go into a high mania and a low mania.More discussions about disorder

By Rep. Jim Cox (R-Berks)
People are amazed when I tell them that something as seemingly small and insignificant as a penny could help to completely replace school district property taxes in Pennsylvania. However, if this is to happen, it will be because taxpayers across Pennsylvania shared their "two cents" on the issue. Let me explain.
I recently unveiled the Property Tax Independence Act at a Capitol news conference in Harrisburg. The legislation – House Bill 76 and Senate Bill 76 – would completely replace local school district property taxes with a combination of state revenue sources.
For example, under the plan, when you spend $1, or 100 cents, at a retail store in Pennsylvania, you would have to pay an additional one penny through the state sales tax. If you have a job, you would have to pay approximately one penny (well, actually 1.27 cents) more through the state Personal Income Tax for every 100 cents you earn.
The plan also would use existing revenues from legalized gaming in Pennsylvania and would close some special interest loopholes in the sales tax. Together, all of these revenues would be used to replace on a dollar-for-dollar basis the funding that schools currently receive from local school district property taxes.
We know the plan will work because the Independent Fiscal Office, a non-partisan government agency, conducted a thorough analysis and provided us with the information we needed to craft the legislation.
The concept is so simple and straightforward, many homeowners wonder why it is taking so long to make its way through the state Legislature.
Unfortunately, there are several high-powered special interest groups that oppose the legislation. Meanwhile, homeowners and taxpayers don't have a paid lobbyist in Harrisburg.
Despite these obstacles, I'm certain the Property Tax Independence Act can be passed into law.
While I introduced the Property Tax Independence Act, it is by no means "my" legislation. It is the taxpayers' legislation, drafted with the input of a coalition of 76 taxpayer advocacy groups scattered across the Commonwealth. It is grassroots legislation.
If this bill makes it into law, it will be because Pennsylvanians demanded it.
If you support this plan to use something as simple as a penny to replace school district property taxes, you need to add your "two cents" to the public conversation. Contact your state representative and senator. Engage in a conversation through your local newspaper's website and editorial page. Post on your state legislators' Facebook pages.
My colleagues and I who embrace this idea will continue our work on the inside. However, an engaged and outraged public may be the only power capable of forcing a majority of lawmakers to do what is right. The good news is we have seen it work before.
Rep. Jim Cox is the prime sponsor of the House version of the Property Tax Independence Act (House Bill 76).

Known as "Americas Finest City", elegant and sunny San Diego is truly a city with something for everyone. In town, a whole day or more could be spent in Balboa Park, playing golf, touring the world-famous San Diego Zoo or visiting a museum. Just outside of town, Torrey Pines State Reserve offers a somewhat wilder terrain where visitors can view rare birds and the stately trees the park is named for. Children, and in turn parents, will be delighted with the city's wide range of family-oriented activities. From SeaWorld to the historic Gaslamp Quarter, there are events and exhibits to keep even the most hard-to-please happy. San Diego boasts an array of fine and trendy restaurants covering a melting pot of cuisines, world-class shopping and hotels from lavish to budget. San Diego is the eighth largest city in the United Sates and the second largest city in California. Relatively free from smog and byzantine freeways, San Diego, set around a gracefully curving bay, represents the acceptable face of southern California. Although it was the site of the first mission in California, the city only really took off with the arrival of the Santa Fe Railroad in the 1880s, and in terms of trade and significance it has long been in the shadow of Los Angeles. However, during World War II the US Navy made San Diego its Pacific Command Center, and the military continues to dominate the local economy, along with tourism and the Biotech Industry. San Diego is also home to one of the 2009 top ten beaches in the US. Coronado beach has just moved up from the number 8 position to number 4. You can enjoy the 100 year old Hotel Del Coronado visited by Kings, Presidents and movie stars behind you while taking in the ships and sail boats in front of scenic Point Loma.

How to Model Electrochemical Resistance and Capacitance
Scott Smith August 24, 2016
Resistive and capacitive effects are fundamental to the understanding of electrochemical systems. The resistances and capacitances due to mass transfer can be represented through physical equations describing the corresponding fundamental phenomena, like diffusion. Further, when considering the resistive or capacitive behavior of double layers, thin films, and reaction kinetics, such effects can be treated simply through physical conditions relating electrochemical currents and voltages. Lastly, resistances and capacitances from external loading circuits can easily be represented in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software.Read More

The numerical analysis of fluid flow and temperature fields can offer valuable insight in many engineering applications. Efficiency, of course, is important when performing such simulations. Here, we'll discuss the various formulations for fluid flow equations in the COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software and when it's best to use each option, paying particular attention to how this selection influences heat transfer analyses. We will also cover how to set up both natural and forced convection simulations using these formulations.Read More
Caty Fairclough August 18, 2016
Does your simulation take a large amount of computational time to solve? One potential reason for this is that your mesh is using too many elements. In cases such as this, you may want to switch to user-controlled mesh to manually build and edit the meshing sequences available in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software as an alternative to using the default meshing sequence. As we'll highlight with a tutorial example, this can help reduce memory requirements while providing accurate results.Read More

Realistic gear geometries are useful for multibody dynamics simulations when coupled with other physical phenomena. Rather than manually building these geometries, we can use built-in parts available in the Part Library. With these highly parameterized gear parts, we can build a wide range of parallel and planetary gear trains and learn how to use different aspects of the built-in parts to create a realistic gear model in the Multibody Dynamics Module.Read More

Like many crops, the quality of dates is heavily impacted by agronomic practices. In Tunisia, for example, such elements have caused these soft edible fruits to become drier in nature. One approach to improving the quality of these dates is thermal processing, where the key unit of operation is hydration. Combining the power of experimental studies with simulation analyses, a team of researchers sought to optimize the hydration process in order to foster greater efficiency and reliability.Read More

Extending our discussion on modeling the harmonic excitations of linear systems, we will now shift focus to nonlinear systems. We will look at problems where the loading on the system has some sinusoidal components as well as cases where the material properties or loads and constraints depend directly on the solution. As you will see, COMSOL Multiphysics can address these apparently nonlinear cases with some very efficient solution algorithms. Let's find out how.Read More
Walter Frei August 10, 2016
In many engineering situations, we can assume that excitations on the system of interest and the responses are sinusoidal over time. When this assumption holds, we can use a so-called frequency-domain analysis, which leads to some very efficient solution techniques. Let's go over a few basic concepts and the conditions under which we can make this assumption, while exploring various solution approaches to take.Read More

We rely on power transformers for everyday tasks, but these devices also create a loud buzzing or humming noise. This sound comes from vibrations in different parts of the transformer and is impossible to eliminate completely. To reduce the noise, a team of engineers at ABB Corporate Research Center simulated the acoustic, electromagnetic, and mechanical behavior in their transformer systems with the COMSOL Multiphysics® software.Read More

Imagine a vehicle where you could simply plug in a destination and arrive without ever having to touch the steering wheel. Fully autonomous cars would revolutionize society, benefiting those who already drive and increasing the mobility of those who can't. While technological advancements have brought us closer to such a reality, there are still many challenges to overcome. Today, we'll explore the future of autonomous cars and what needs to happen before they can become a viable option.Read More
