Approaching the Limits of Acalculous Cholecystitis
1Tulane University Health Sciences Center, New Orleans, LA
Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2015, March 29-April 1, National Harbor, Md.
Abstract number: 503
Keywords: Clinical Vignette Abstracts — Adult
Case Presentation:
A 40 year-old woman with HIV (CD4 268) on antiretrovirals and pulmonary MAC on treatment presented to the hospital with abdominal pain and diarrhea. She was subsequently admitted to the intensive care unit with sepsis secondary to campylobacter gastroenteritis. Initially, patient's total bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase were both mildly elevated and ultrasound did not show gallstones, stranding, or gallbladder wall thickening. In the ICU, she was partially stabilized with early goal-directed therapy and imipenem/cilastatin targeted against C. jejuni after no response was noted with ciprofloxacin. She was stepped down to the medical-surgical unit on hospital day 4 with continued abdominal pain, now localized to the right upper quadrant, and fluid-responsive hypotension.
On hospital day 5, in the setting of increased abdominal pain and worsened hypotension, a repeated ultrasound revealed a thickened gallbladder wall of 6 mm. While total bilirubin remained elevated but stable, alkaline phosphatase continued to rise from the low 200s to 945. Gastroenterology and surgery were consulted and she underwent a cholecystotomy and was transferred back to the ICU with a biliary drain in place. Cultures from the drain grew heavy Candida albicans.
After cholecystotomy, she completed a two-week course of fluconazole (stopped for thrombocytopenia with workup negative for other causes) and micafungin and a 14-day course of imipenem/cilastatin for her initial campylobacter gastroenteritis. On hospital day 30, she developed fever, tachycardia, and recurrent diarrhea. She also developed seizures attributed to hypocalcemia, renal failure requiring continuous renal replacement therapy, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium bacteremia, and respiratory failure requiring intubation. She subsequently expired from overwhelming sepsis on hospital day 37. Autopsy revealed intestinal hemorrhage and acalculous cholecystitis (ACC).
Only eight cases of ACC with C. albicans as the exclusive organism have been reported, and only one previous case in a patient with HIV/AIDS. Candidal ACC has severe clinical sequelae in critically ill patients with an associated mortality of 40 percent. Risk factors include immunosuppression, prolonged ICU stay, and antibiotic therapy – all of which were applicable to this patient. Ultrasound is most accurate for diagnosis with gallbladder wall thickening of 3.5 millimeters or greater making ACC more likely. In critically ill patients with abdominal complaints, a high index of suspicion, early diagnosis, and timely intervention are essential. The mainstay of intervention in ACC is cholecystotomy and has shown improved survival when performed promptly. However, in a retrospective study in patients with severe sepsis and shock, cholecystotomy has been shown to be associated with higher mortality as compared to cholecystectomy. Therefore, discussion with the consulted surgical team should also include cholecystectomy as an option in severely ill patients.
Risk factors for Candida acalculous cholecystitis include immunosuppression, prolonged ICU stay and prior antibiotic therapy. In unstable patients with this fungal infection, cholecystectomy may be the preferred method for treatment as it may improve patient survival.

Organisations could benefit from the improvements in collaborative learning and increased control gained by the use of open source software. EtherPad enables simultaneous updates on a shared document from remotely located participants. We discuss the adoption life-cycle of this open source tool in the context of a strategic intervention, with a focus on a learning agenda to guide the installation and configuration processes, and to reduce the learning curve involved in the adoption experience.
Software Product Line (SPL) and Open Source Software (OSS) haveemerged as successful modes of developing software. Although they appear todiffer in terms of development principles and processes, researchers andpractitioners have been increasingly emphasising the need to achieve synergiesby exploiting the ever growing repositories of OSS components for developingSPLs. While there have been calls for the SPL community to accelerate thewidespread use of OSS in SPL, less attention has been paid to how OSScommunities could increase the use of OSS components in SPL. Sincearchitectural issues are considered critical in the SPL community, we proposethat an increased attention on architectural aspects of OSS components mayprovide the confidence that organizations need in order for them to choose anduse OSS components in SPL. We identify a number of architectural practiceswhich are followed by the SPL community and discuss the possibilities for andpotential benefits of incorporating those practices in OSS developmentprocesses.
Distribution is a multifaceted concept and one aspect concerns the adoption of ideas from a combination of methods for project management. Such distribution imposes new demands on project management and coordination since the project management aspect is an integral part of information systems development methods. This paper reports from a case study of coordinating project management practices in a commercial development method and an in-house method for project management. In order to conduct the study of how methods are combined and utilized, one of the researchers followed a development project for six months. The general aim of the project under study is to replace the numerous system registers in use with one general register, which will aid in making system maintenance more efficient. The project also has two organisational goals: to give the team members an opportunity to use RUP in a real project setting; and to introduce new technology and a new development tool. The study highlights the importance of taking a start in current work practice as opposed to focusing on the new method as such. In summary, we stress the importance of taking a start in the work practice in terms of a method in use as opposed to method proponents' push for new methods. Any long term change in work practices has to be internalised by the stakeholders in the practical context of method use. Hence, the case study presented here adds to the body of knowledge which distinguishes between the method as used and the method as prescribed by its proponents.
Software interoperability is commonly achieved through the implementation of standards for communication protocols or data representation formats. Standards documents are often complex, difficult to interpret, and may contain errors and inconsistencies, which can lead to differing interpretations and implementations that inhibit interoperability. Through a case study of two years of activity in the Apache PDFBox project we examine day-to-day decisions made concerning implementation of the PDF specifications and standards in a community open source software (OSS) project. Thematic analysis is used to identify semantic themes describing the context of observed decisions concerning interoperability. Fundamental decision types are identified including emulation of the behaviour of dominant implementations and the extent to which to implement the PDF standards. Many factors influencing the decisions are related to the sustainability of the project itself, while other influences result from decisions made by external actors, including the developers of dependencies of PDFBox. This article contributes a fine grained perspective of decision-making about software interoperability by contributors to a community OSS project. The study identifies how decisions made support the continuing technical relevance of the software, and factors that motivate and constrain project activity.
The majority of contributions to community open source software (OSS) projects are made by practitioners acting on behalf of companies and other organisations. Previous research has addressed the motivations of both individuals and companies to engage with OSS projects. However, limited research has been undertaken that examines and explains the practical mechanisms or work practices used by companies and their developers to pursue their commercial and technical objectives when engaging with OSS projects. This research investigates the variety of work practices used in public communication channels by company contributors to engage with and contribute to eight community OSS projects. Through interviews with contributors to the eight projects we draw on their experiences and insights to explore the motivations to use particular methods of contribution. We find that companies utilise work practices for contributing to community projects which are congruent with the circumstances and their capabilities that support their short- and long-term needs. We also find that companies contribute to community OSS projects in ways that may not always be apparent from public sources, such as employing core project developers, making donations, and joining project steering committees in order to advance strategic interests. The factors influencing contributor work practices can be complex and are often dynamic arising from considerations such as company and project structure, as well as technical concerns and commercial strategies. The business context in which software created by the OSS project is deployed is also found to influence contributor work practices. CCBY
Professionals contribute to open source software (OSS) projects aspart of their employment. Previous research has addressed motivationsof individuals and the ways they engage with OSS projects.However, there is a lack of research which examines and explainswork practices used by companies in their engagement with projects.Work practices used by companies to contribute to five establishedOSS projects are investigated through examination of the actions ofemployees in public communication channels and draw on our experienceswhen analysing engagement with the same projects. Wefind that companies utilise work practices for contributing whichare congruent with the circumstances and their capabilities thatsupport their short and long term needs. We find that companiescontribute to OSS projects in different ways, such as employing coreproject developers, making donations, and joining project steeringcommittees in order to advance strategic interests.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International IFIP WG 2.13 International Conference on Open Source Systems, OSS 2016, held in Gothenburg, Sweden, in May/June 2016. The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics related to free, libre, and open source software, including: organizational aspects of communities; organizational adoption; participation of women; software maintenance and evolution; open standards and open data; collaboration; hybrid communities; code reviews; and certification.
The publication and preservation of doctoral dissertations is fundamental to progression of research in a field. It allows future generations to 'stand on the shoulders of giants'.
Archiving dissertations requires to store them in a way that they will be accessible even when technologies change. Classical paper publications fulfill those requirements but have disadvantages such as the need for physical storage or distribution. An increasingly popular alternative is to store dissertations as electronic documents such as PDF files.
In this study, we analyze the extent to which electronically available doctoral dissertations published in Sweden fulfill the basic requirements of standard conformance and applicability for long-term archiving.
We find that only a small proportion of dissertations' electronic publications follow the Swedish National Archive's requirements to conform to standards made for long-term archiving. Only at one Swedish university, a significant number of electronic publications does conform to PDF/A-1b. Interestingly, conformance to PDF/A-1b correlates to properly setting the title of a PDF document and choosing a paper format different from A4 (ISO 216). This suggests that the consequences of missed compliance for long-term archiving are not commonly known and authors have to make a conscious choice for PDF/A-1b compliance.
Introduction. The study describes the conditions for long-term preservation of the content of the institutional repositories of Swedish higher education institutions based on an investigation of how deposited files are managed with regards to file format and how representatives of the repositories describe the functions of the repositories.
Method. The findings are based on answers to a questionnaire completed by thirty-four institutional repository representatives (97% response rate).
Analysis. Questionnaire answers were analysed through descriptive statistics and qualitative coding. The concept of information infrastructures was used to analytically discuss repository work.
Results. Visibility and access to content were considered to be the most important functions of the repositories, but long-term preservation was also considered important for publications and student theses. Whereas a majority of repositories had some form of guidelines for which file formats were accepted, very few considered whether or not file formats constitute open standards. This can have consequences for the long-term sustainability and access of the content deposited in the repositories.
Conclusion. The study contributes to the discussion about the sustainability of research publications and data in the repositories by pointing to the potential difficulties involved for long-term preservation and access when there is little focus on and awareness of open file formats.
Digital signatures are important in order to ensure the integrity and authenticity of information communicated over the Internet involving different stakeholders within and beyond the borders of different nations. The topic has gained increased interest in the European context and there is legislation and project initiatives aiming to facilitate use and standardisation of digital signatures. Open standards and open source implementations of open standards are important means for the interoperability and long-term maintenance of software systems implementing digital signatures. In this paper we report from a study aiming to establish the availability and effectiveness of software provided under an open source license for digital signing and validation of PDF documents. Specifically, we characterise the use of digital signatures in Swedish Governmental agencies, report on the interoperability of open source and proprietary licensed software for digital signatures in PDF documents, and establish the effectiveness of software provided under an open source license for validation of digital signatures in PDF documents.
Many organisations have requirements for long-term sustainable software systems and associated communities. In this paper we consider long-term sustainability of Open Source software communities in Open Source projects involving a fork. There is currently a lack of studies in the literature that address how specific Open Source software communities are affected by a fork. We report from a case study aiming to investigate the developer community around the LibreOffice project, which is a fork from the OpenOffice.org project. The results strongly suggest a long-term sustainable community and that there are no signs of stagnation in the project 15 months after the fork. Our analysis provides details on the LibreOffice developer community and how it has evolved from the OpenOffice.org community with respect to project activity, long-term involvement of committers, and organisational influence over time. The findings from our analysis of the LibreOffice project make an important contribution towards a deeper understanding of challenges regarding long-term sustainability of Open Source software communities.
Over the years, a number of open standards have been developed and implemented in software for addressing a number of challenges, such as lock-in, interoperability and longevity of software systems and associated digital artefacts. Understanding organisational involvement and collaboration in standardisation is important for informing any future policy and organisational decisions concerning involvement in standardisation. The overarching goal of the study is to establish how organisations contribute to open standards development through editorship. Specifically, the focus is on open standards development in W3C. Through an analysis of editorship for all W3C recommendations we contribute novel findings concerning organisational involvement and collaboration, and highlight contributions from different types of organisations and countries for headquarter of each organisation. We make three principal contributions. First, we establish an overall characterisation of organisational involvement in W3C standardisation. Second, we report on organisational involvement in W3C standardisation over time. Third, we establish organisational collaboration in W3C standardisation through social network analysis.
Open source software (OSS) projects are provided under different open source licenses and some projects use other conditions (in addition to licensing terms) for contributors to adhere to. Licensing terms and conditions may affect community involvement and contributions, and are perceived differently by different stakeholders in different OSS projects. The study reports from an exploratory analysis of licensing terms and other conditions for 200 widely used OSS projects, and an investigation of the relationship between licensing terms and other conditions for contributing. We find that strong copyleft licenses are most common and are used in the majority of the projects. Further, a clear majority of the OSS projects use no specific other condition for contributing in addition to the license terms. However, a clear majority of the OSS projects supported by foundations use other conditions for contributing in addition to the license terms. Finally, use of no specific other conditions in addition to the license terms is more common for projects using strong copyleft licensing compared to projects using non-copyleft licensing.
Over time, a number of open standards have been developed and implemented in software for addressing a number of challenges, such as lock-in, interoperability and longevity of software systems and associated digital artefacts. An understanding of organisational involvement and collaboration in standardisation is important for informing any future policy and organisational decisions concerning involvement in standardisation. The overarching goal of the study is toestablish how organisations contribute to open standards development through editorship. Specifically, the focus is on open standards development in the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Through an analysis of editorship for all W3C recommendations we contribute novel findings concerning organisational involvement and collaboration, and highlight contributions from different types of organisations and countries. We make five principal contributions. First, we establish an overall characterisation of organisational involvement in W3C standardisation. Second, we report on organisational involvement in W3C standardisation over time. Third, we establish how different organisations, organisation types, and countries are involved in W3C technologies. Fourth, we report on organisational involvement in relation to standard development time. Fifth, we establish how organisations collaborate in W3C standardisation through social network analysis.
Legacy file formats is an increasing concern for organisations. Therefore it is important for any company to develop sustainable strategies for data curation in order to maintain valuable digital assets. In this paper we report from a case study conducted in a company context aiming to investigate the feasibility of using Open Source approaches for curation of corporate digital assets kept in proprietary legacy file formats to open file formats. We consider different aspects of openness in a corporate strategy for maintaining digital assets. An important aspect concerns activity and company influence in an Open Source tool-chain, another concerns support for data curation of digital assets actually offered by the tool chain. We find that organisational concern over legacy file formats continues to be an issue, and that strong commercial influence on Open Source projects is no guarantee for success.
Many organisations are dependent upon long-term sustainable software systems and associated communities. In this paper we consider long-term sustainability of Open Source software communities in Open Source software projects involving a fork. There is currently a lack of studies in the literature that address how specific Open Source software communities are affected by a fork. We report from a study aiming to investigate the developer community around the LibreOffice project, which is a fork from the OpenOffice.org project. In so doing, our analysis also covers the OpenOffice.org project and the related Apache OpenOffice project. The results strongly suggest a long-term sustainable LibreOffice community and that there are no signs of stagnation in the LibreOffice project 33 months after the fork. Our analysis provides details on developer communities for the LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice projects and specifically concerning how they have evolved from the OpenOffice.org community with respect to project activity, developer commitment, and retention of committers over time. Further, we present results from an analysis of first hand experiences from contributors in the LibreOffice community. Findings from our analysis show that Open Source software communities can outlive Open Source software projects and that LibreOffice is perceived by its community as supportive, diversified, and independent. The study contributes new insights concerning challenges related to long-term sustainability of Open Source software communities.
Context: It is widely acknowledged that standards implemented in open source software can reduce risks for lock-in, improve interoperability, and promote competition on the market. However, there is limited knowledge concerning the relationship between standards and their implementations in open source software. This paper reports from an investigation of organisational influences in software standards and open source software implementations of software standards. The study focuses on the RDFa standard and its implementation in the Drupal project.
Objective: The overarching goal of the study is to establish organisational influences in software standards and their implementations in open source software. More specifically, our objective is to establish organisational influences in the RDFa standard and its implementation in the Drupal project.
Method: By conduct of a case study of the RDFa standard and its implementation in the Drupal project we investigate organisational influences in software standards and their implementations in open source software. Specifically, the case study involved quantitative analyses of issue tracker data for different issue trackers for W3C RDFa and the Drupal implementation of RDFa.
Results: The case study provides details on how and to what extent organisational influences occur in W3C RDFa and the Drupal implementation of RDFa, by specifically providing a characterisation of issues and results concerning contribution to issue raising and commenting, organisational involvement over time, and individual and organisational collaboration on issues.
Conclusion: We find that widely deployed standards can benefit from contributions provided by a range of different individuals, organisations, and types of organisations either directly to a standardisation project or indirectly via an open source project implementing the standard. Further, we also find that open processes for standardisation adopted by W3C may also contribute to open source projects implementing specific standards.
The health of an Open Source ecosystem is an important decision factor when considering the adoption of Open Source software or when monitoring a seeded Open Source project. In this paper we introduce responsiveness as a qualitative measure of the quality of replies within mailing lists, which can be used for assessing ecosystem health. We consider one specific metric of responsiveness in this paper, and that is the response time of follow-up messages in mailing lists. We also describe a way for characterising the nature of communication in messages with short and long response times. The approach is tested in the context of the Nagios project, and we particularly focus on the responsiveness for contributors acting in their professional roles as core developers. Our contribution is a step towards a deeper understanding of voluntary support provided in mailing lists of OSS projects.
The health of an Open Source ecosystem is an important decision factor when considering the adoption of Open Source software. In this paper we assess ecosystem health of the Nagios community using an approach involving analysis of social networks derived from mailing lists. Our investigation focuses on the extent to which core developers act as mediators between participants of the mailing lists.
The health of an Open Source ecosystem is an important decision factor when considering the adoption of an Open Source software or when monitoring a seeded Open Source project. In this paper we assess the ecosystem health using approaches involving domain analysis and social network analysis of mailing lists for the Nagios project. We elaborate approaches for how involvement of different roles can be analysed through quantitative analysis, specifically focusing on core developers and professional providers. Our contribution is a step towards a deeper understanding of professional involvement in professional Open Source ecoystems.
Model Driven Development (MDD) is widely used in the embedded systems domain, and many proprietary and Open Source tools exist that support MDD. The potential for sustainability of such tools needs to assessed prior to any organisational adoption. In this paper we report from a case study conducted in a consultancy company context aiming to investigate Open Source tools for MDD. For the company it was interesting to explore the two Open Source modelling tools Topcased and Papyrus for potential adoption. The focus for our case study is on assessing the health of the ecosystems for the two investigated Open Source projects by means of quantitative analysis of publically available data sources about Open Source projects. The health of ecosystems is an important prerequisite for a long term sustainable OSS (Open Source Software) tool-chain in the MDD area, which can aid strategic decision making for potential adoption within a company context. We have established details on the extent to which developers and users are active in two specific OSS ecosystems, and identified organisational influence for both ecosystems. We find that the investigated tools are promising regarding the health of their ecosystems, and a natural next step for the company would be to proceed with a pilot study in order to analyse the effectiveness of the investigated tools in company contexts.
Libre software is a new world in itself, for both companies and professionals. As the use of libre software products becomes more widespread in the software industry and in other sectors which are heavily dependent on software for their activities, it is becoming increasingly important to understand how to make the most of this new world. In this article we explore some of the new issues that emerge when approaching libre software, and how companies are addressing them.
Model driven development has several advantages over traditional development, including simplified maintenance. We demonstrate an architecture which, through model driven engineering, allows heterogeneous distributed development of components in a mechatronics application. Key to the approach is an architecture which allows automated and dynamic component integration, together with model sharing through the transformation of XMI files.
XMI is a standardized format for model interchange between tools. However, XMI-based interchange currently has one great disadvantage: an XMI file exported from one tool is unlikely to import correctly into a different tool. This makes XMI unusable for moving models around in a heterogeneous development environment, leading to increased maintenance problems. We suggest using specialized XSLT transformations to bridge between the XMI dialects of tools, and report on an industrial case study in which the technique has been successfully applied.

Abishabis or Small Eyes (died 30 August 1843) was a religious leader of the Cree First Nation who became the prophet of a millenarian religious movement that swept through the Cree communities of northern Manitoba and Ontario during the 1840s. The religious philosophy of this movement was an admixture of Christianity and Cree beliefs. However, after losing much of his influence, Abishabis murdered a First Nations family living near York Factory. Following his arrest and imprisonment at Fort Severn, a group of three irate Cree forcibly removed him from his jail cell and took their revenge by smashing out his brains with an axe and burning his body.

Sleeps 2
Shepherd's Hut in Devon: Stop right now! If you're looking for peace, quiet, tranquillity and solitude, your search is over. Stargazy Sky is the perfect spot for a getaway. It's time to recharge your batteries.
In a magical, off-the-beaten-track location, our gorgeous shepherd's hut sits in its very own meadow next to a copse of mature trees and near a tiny brook with a small herd of Ruby Red Devon cows grazing in the fields around. Talk about picturesque. High up above Devon's Axe Valley, and just a few miles from the Jurassic Coast, it has incredible views over lovely countryside as far as the eye can see.
A superbly crafted, hand-made beauty with all the glamping luxuries you'd expect (and probably more) Stargazy Sky boasts a super-comfy double bed, a fab ensuite shower room - with a flushing loo, proper hot shower and even a heated towel rail - and a cute kitchen-area that boasts an induction hob, combination microwave/grill and a fridge with an ice box (comes in handy for that gin and tonic). There's even a quirky, spring-fed outdoor shower for anyone brave enough to try. At Stargazy Sky there are no demands on your time: you can slow right down and snuggle up next to the log burner, watch TV or a box set, lose yourself in a book or wrap up in a blanket and spend a romantic evening by the fire-pit outside. When in season, you can buy packs of the Owner's own beef or pork to cook up a feast of a BBQ (fruit, veg and eggs are often available, too). While you grill, sit back, listen to the birdsong and watch in wonder as the stars come out one by one in the huge sky above you. Perfect.
Out and About
There's so much to do near Stargazy Sky, both nearby and just a little bit further afield. Right next door is the amazing Trinity Hill nature reserve, and within walking distance are the renowned River Cottage, home to cookery classes, festivals, fairs and fabulous dining, and the 300-acre organic Trill Farm, where you'll find lunches and suppers, a shop, courses and a range of special events. Hop in the car for the short trip to elegant Lyme Regis, or pack your bucket and spade and set off to the pebbly beach at Seaton or any of the classic Devon seaside towns of Branscombe, Sidmouth, Beer and Budleigh Salterton.
Steps up to open plan living-room with kitchen, dining and bedroom areas with wood-burner, TV/DVD player, 2 ring induction hob, combination oven (microwave and grill), fridge (with ice-box), toaster, kettle, radio and double bed. Shower-room with shower, WC and wash-basin.

Red Monsoon (2014)
Red Monsoon
It is hard for Karuna to believe that her husband Krishna is seeking gratification in someone else's arms, and when her friend Anushka suggests as much, she resists. Chetana, battling her own feelings of loss, reaches out for Krishna's extended hand. Against the clamorous backdrop of the age-old Machhendranath festival, a thoroughly contemporary drama plays out in the bylanes and courtyards of Patan town. Through the characters, we glimpse a society in transition, where individuals are left to fend for themselves in the anonymity of the city. The film is steeped with the angst of uncertainty created by an economy in the doldrums, with the anger of youth, and with the befuddlement of elders, as protagonists try to adjust to new realities, some with a care for ethics and some without. This is where Krishna finds himself at the end, as Chetana and Karuna decide for themselves. The air is pregnant with possibilities, but the rains do not arrive in Red Monsoon.

Enter the total force, radius of the applied force, and the angle at which it is applied to calculate the total torque on an object.
Torque is a force that is applied along a radius that causes and object to rotate. Force, just like velocity is a vector quantity meaning it has a magnitude and direction. With that said, the direction of the torque is often ignored in some calculations, especially in your introductory physics classes.
Toque Formula
Torque can be calculated through the following formula:
(t) = (r) * (F) * sin (theta)
- Where t is torque in
- r is radius
- F is force
- and theta is the angle between
This can also be written as a cross product of two vectors, but we will not go that deep in this article as it's a little more advanced and harder to write out. Torque causes an object to rotate and as a result, it will make this object accelerate in an angular motion, and give it momentum. This will cause the object to have a velocity after some period of time, and in tern will have a kinetic energy. This can be calculated through the following equation:
Energy = torque * theta
Where theta is the total angle rotated by that object.
How to Calculate Torque
Let's take a look at an example of how to calculate torque in a real world sending. Let's assume we are looking at car. In that car there is a motor which applied a force to a gear. That gear is at some radius which is then attached to an axle.
- First, we must calculate the total force produced by the engine. This is usually given as a specification on a car, but for our example we will assume a force of 3000N.
- Next, we must determine the radius of the gear. This can be done simply through hand measuring it. For our example we will assume a radius of .25m
- Next, we need to determine the angle at which that gear applies force to the axle. In this case the force is always applied at a 90 degree angle, and the sin of 90 = 1, so it simplifies the equation.
- Finally, enter all of the information into the equation or calculator above. T = 3000N * .25 * 1 = 750 N*m of torque. Not bad for a small car!
These types of torque problems become increasingly more difficult if the force is not applied at a 90 degree angle, and there are other forces involved. For instance, in the example above, there is actually friction acting against the movement of the gear and axle, therefore the net torque the car can output will actually be less that what we calculated above.

By Janice Bremec Blum
In my hand are a dozen helium balloons clunking me on the head and a peach cobbler is teetering in the crux of my arm. I'm struggling to get the key in the front door of my bookstore, The Book Bin. The balloons will decorate the outside sandwich board announcing today's book signing event. Barton Wallace, the number one male author in the romance genre will be here to autograph his latest book, My Woman. I've been a fan of Barton ever since his first book, Together, We, hit the New York Times best seller list. I've read that book a gazillion times and with every read, I fall in love all over again. He speaks to me like he knows me. We haven't actually met in person but we've sure met in my fantasies. I go to bed at night with his book jacket picture under my pillow. His grass green eyes say, I love you, Emma. Well, that's what I think they say. I'm on top of all his fan sites and so far, it looks like he's still single even though he's always surrounded by gorgeous women, the kind that grace the covers of his books. He hasn't tied the knot with any of them so it makes me think that the door may still be open for me! But I have to face it, plain Jane's like myself seldom, if ever, get random hoots and hollers from men let alone get asked out by someone of Barton's stature.
"Yo, yo, yo, Emma!" I hear from behind me. It's not a random hoot and holler, it's my employee, Scooter.
"Yo, Em! I'm here on time today!" Scooter is a nice kid with hopes of being the next, great, sci-fi author. He grabs the cobbler. "Yummers! When do we get to dig into this?"
"It's not for you, Scooter. But if you're really help me out today, I'll bake you one. You take the balloons and give me the cobbler."
"These remind me of an idea I have for a novel about a utopian society that lives on helium. Everyone on the planet's voice is like ten octaves higher than normal and when they all talk at the same time, they break the sound barrier creating total and massive annihilation. Cool idea, huh?"
"Scooter, you keep cranking out those ideas and sooner or later something's bound to stick." I always try to be supportive even though half the time his ideas are sophomoric but, who am I to judge? Me, the dork who sleeps with a book jacket cover.
Now in my little shop, I flip on the lights and have Scooter tie the balloons to the sandwich board and align the chairs for Barton's reading and book signing. I ordered fresh flowers that should be arriving any moment. I want my shop to look perfect, as perfect as Barton. Every time I say his name to myself I get a shiver up my spine and a smile spreads across my face. I imagine him as the hero in his books and I am the heroine. Timid and shy toward his advances but a willing participant to his ultimate seduction where we make wild, passionate love by a roaring fire. The thought makes me blush. I hide the peach cobbler in my office.
"Delivery!" There's a shout from the front door and I hear the little bell that I have tied to the handle tinkle as the delivery man enters. I specifically ordered white amaryllis, that's what the male character in Together, We, gives to his love symbolizing her splendid beauty. I'm hoping it will show Barton what a true fan I am and who knows, maybe it will spark a little "je ne sais quoi" between us. The thought makes me giggle as I sign for the flowers.
"What you laughing at boss lady?" Uh oh, caught by Scooter.
"Just line up those chairs and never mind about me. And when you're done, make sure there's an ample stack of My Woman along both sides of the autograph desk as well as Together, We. I want Barton to feel at home, I want Barton to feel welcomed, I want…"
"… Barton!" Scooter snorts while he laughs.
"Ok, ok, knock it off Scooter." I hand him the vase of flowers, "put these on the autograph desk, please." I head back to my office.
Scooter's right. I would LOVE for Barton to be in my pants! Closing the door behind me, I take a deep breath and try to pull myself together and back into reality. Dream all you want to Emma, but Barton is way out of your league. I've always been the skinny girl. No boobs, no ass, mousey thin brown hair and glasses. I'm a book nerd and I look it. I've tried contact lenses but I blink so much my vision gets limited to just the ends of my eyelashes. I've tried eating hot fudge sundaes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner only to watch the scale slip down another notch. I permed my hair once. That was a disaster. It took me almost a year to grow out the frazzled tresses. I'm a popsicle stick with cornhusk hair. You don't see much of my kind gracing the covers of a Barton Wallace romance. The phone rings breaking me out of my pity trance.

Learning, achieving, working together
Year 5 and 6 Cross Country
On Wednesday 21st October, the children from Year 5 and 6 went on a trip to Cavendish Secondary School to participate in a Cross Country competition around their field. There were 10 other schools taking part in the races which were split into Year 5 girls, Year 5 boys, Year 6 girls and Year 6 boys.
Despite the torrential rain, everyone succeeded in finishing the races, with some people showing great perseverance. Jack from Year 6 came second overall in the Year 6 boys race and Zoe 10th in the girls race. The best runners might now be invited to compete in the district finals.
Well done to everyone who took part!

Target "PreBuildEvent" skipped, due to false condition; ('$(PreBuildEvent)'!='') was evaluated as (''!='').
Some of you, might see this message in every build output of AVR Studio 5.0. I mention some of you because this depends on the build output verbosity level set in Studio 5.0. This is neither a warning nor an error. This is just a diagnostic message displayed by studio build system, to notify that it tried to run pre build events of the project but there is no such configured, and it evaluated to false. This is the same for the post build event also.
Edited : Use the build verbosity level "Normal" to have enough information from build output. Also note that this won't affect the output verbosity of the underlying tool chain.

Why Choose One Of Our Wall art Pieces?
That 30″ x 24″ canvas gallery wrap of your pet is a one off, no-one else is going to own one of those.

Close your eyes. Imagine a little girl. This little girl is trapped in a small room surrounded by other people who, like her, have been arrested. She is likely terrified. And she is only in there because she stood up for what she believed in.
Now imagine the man who put the little girl in that room. And he put her there only because he stood up for what he believed in.
Most people consider long-time Birmingham Police Chief Eugene "Bull" Connor as evil, or at least unquestionably wrong. "The villain," says Laura Anderson, archivist at the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute.
"He is the excuse for lots of other people's bigotry. He is just the ringleader."
But others believe the most pivotal events of the Civil Rights Movement would not have transpired without him. His legacy may be for using intimidation tactics against non-violent activists, but his inadvertent contributions to end segregation cannot be overlooked.
"Dr. Martin Luther King and others have said Bull Connor may have been the best friend the Civil Rights Movement ever had," said former U.S. Attorney Doug Jones. "Because of Bull Connor, people took notice."
Jones was the prosecutor who reopened the case against two of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombers decades after the crime. He argues that Connor's more extreme measures were pivotal to the Movement's progress.Connor hadn't acted the way he had, we don't know if Birmingham would have had the same success."
Connor was an influential member of his community who had, through Alabama politics, gained a great deal of power and was not shy about wielding it. Bull Connor (1897-1973) served as Commissioner of Public Safety in Birmingham from 1937-1952 and 1957-1963 and was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention for the state of Alabama. A Ku Klux Klan member in his early 20s, Connor gained notoriety as a successful sports broadcaster in the 1920s and '30s. Connor's popularity culminated in a representative seat in the Alabama House, and he led the famous 1948 Democratic National Convention southern states walkout that nearly cost Harry Truman his reelection.
During Birmingham protests in 1963, Bull Connor's measures to defend segregation were notably violent. When the Freedom Riders stopped in Birmingham, Connor allowed a mob of the KKK to beat the Riders with relative impunity for 15 minutes. And when asked why officers did not report to the scene, said because it was Mother's Day, officers were spending time with their moms.
Perhaps most memorable because of their horrific nature were his actions in response to the Children's Crusade — unleashing police dogs on nonviolent protesters, many of them children, and blasting them with fire hoses. These graphic events gave photographers and journalists an important tool to convey the gravity of what was happening in a way that stirred others to action.
The Children's Crusade cast the city into the global spotlight, where the images of fire hoses and dogs outraged people around the world. This attention reinvigorated the civil rights movement after it had faltered after Martin Luther King, Jr. and his colleagues failed in their efforts to enforce desegregation in Albany, Ga.
"That was really the tipping point in a tipping year," Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Civil Rights historian Taylor Branch told the PBS program "Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly." Thanks to the publicity of Birmingham's summer of 1963, Connor became the face of bigotry in the segregated South, and was an easy figure to hate — and to rally against. By providing a common enemy for activists, he galvanized their fight for Civil Rights.
Even today, members of the Birmingham community consider the police commissioner one of their most infamous citizens.
"He was a complete bigot," said Veronica Wiggins, director of operations at Cornerstone Christian School in Birmingham. "One of the worst people this city had produced. We have pictures hanging of him in the church that burned down next door, Woodlawn United Methodist Church, and those need to be taken down. Now."
The attributes that made Connor so hated, may have also been those which were most helpful in furthering Civil Rights efforts.
"I think that Bull Connor was not a very bright man, and had no clue what he was doing and up against," said Prosecutor Jones. "He was acting out of emotion and bigotry, and it played right into the hands of Dr. King and Reverend Shuttlesworth and others."
Most people agree Bull Connor may have not been the best person, but he was a necessary evil. Without him, the Civil Rights movement may not have succeeded. In the defense of the institution he ardently believed in, he contributed to its undoing. After his actions in response to the Freedom Riders and the Children's Crusade, he was ousted by the city government from his position as Commissioner of Public Safety, through a ruling from the Alabama Supreme Court.
Anderson said the complicity of the community is what kept Connor in office.
"This man had such tight control on Birmingham that they had to change the government just to get rid of him."

A trip to Paris with kids is a very different vacay compared to one sans children. However it makes for a wonderful and memorable city break all the same. Recently our family traveled to Paris for a long weekend. This is the 6th time that I have visited the city of love and I think I am finally starting to get the hang of it. I must say, Paris can be a difficult city if you don't speak French and don't know your way around. But there is so much culture, romance and food to indulge in that it is worth the challenge. Keep reading to hear my insights, tips and tricks for enjoying a holiday in Paris with kids.
We caught the train from York to London King's Cross which is approximately 2 hours (depending on the service). From there we caught the Eurostar from St Pancreas to Gare du Nord which is approximately 2.5 hours. I must say, this type of travel is fabulous and easy with a young family.
London's King's Cross Station is across the road from St Pancreas so the transition between trains is seamless. There are plenty of shops and eateries at both stations such as Boots and Marks & Spencers to buy supplies for the journey. On both trains you are permitted to take your own food and alcohol and they also have food bars for you to purchase refreshments on the train.
From Gare du Nord we caught the Metro to our hotel in the 1st arrondissement. It is easy enough but we are always guided by our friends whom know Paris well. You may find it tricky if you have a lot of luggage and small children as there are several sets of stairs and a change of train. It's also easy to travel by Uber or taxi, but may be busy during rush hour.
This hotel is located in the 1st arrondissement and is a very short stroll to the Lourve and Jadrin des Tuileries. The modern Scandinavia designed lobby was instantly inviting and the staff on reception were very helpful. The rooms are quaint but tastefully decorated and the bathrooms are modern and appear recently renovated. We had a very comfortable stay and the room included a mini fridge and ironing board. Some of these little luxuries are not common in Paris accommodation. They also provided a crib for our daughter free of charge. I really enjoyed this hotel and will be booking here again in the future.
If you are looking for something a little more budget friendly then this hotel is perfectly acceptable. The rooms are very basic, but it is all you really need with the city on your doorstep to explore. They have an elevator (which is not always a given in Paris) and baby cribs available for an extra charge. I have noticed that cribs in Paris accommodation are harder to come by for some reason, so always make sure you email the hotel in advance.
Good to Know:
- Metro Stop – The closest metro stop to both hotels is Pyramides. It is an easy commute from Gare du Nord, however it is accessible only by stairs with no elevators. You can purchase carnet tickets on the Eurostar for use on the Metro.
- Monoprix – There is a Monoprix supermarket between the Metro station and the hotels. This is the best place to stock up on any supplies you might need during your stay.
When it comes to eating and drinking in Paris, we take guidance from our friends whom have been UK living for over a decade, and been to Paris more times than they can recall. They introduced us to all of these eateries that are within walking distance of the hotels. Obviously there is an abundance of coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants and bars in Paris … more than enough to write a book! But these are a good starting point if you stay in the vicinity.
When I think Paris I think bread and pastries (plus cheese … and wine!) So we were very pleased when we were introduced to this little bakery. It has everything you will want to satisfy your cravings, from baguettes to croissants to chocolate eclairs.
This unassuming coffee shop is the epitome of Parisian lifestyle. Standing room only to enjoy your espresso and croissant. My very basic and broken French can order me a coffee and the barista can show me how much I owe on the calculator.
We stopped here for burgers one lunchtime after walking a ridiculous amount of steps one morning. They have plenty to offer on the menu but the burgers were excellent, and devoured within minutes by all.
A lovely little ramen bar serving icy cold beer and delicious noodles. The food is relatively inexpensive and its great for a quick and easy meal. I also highly recommend the Gyoza.
Should you find yourself lucky enough to have a babysitter, this restaurant is perfect for a romantic dinner for two. The intimate setting will not disappoint with its traditional french cuisine and I love that you can watch the chef cooking away. You must book in advance and I would not recommend it for small children – there is limited space and no high chairs.
You don't need me to tell you about all of the well known and obvious tourist sights in Paris. There is an endless list of historical landmarks to uncover such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre Dame, Champ Elysees and Arc de Triomphe. So here are a few of my fave things to do during your trip to Paris with kids:
Aquarium de Paris
Located a short stroll from the Eiffel Tower, the Aquarium is a nautical oasis in the middle of this bustling city. Mackenzie particularly enjoyed the fish tank where the little ones are allowed to pat the giant koi fish. Once you have finished at the Aquarium, why not take your little ones on a carousel ride and indulge in a Nutella Crepe? And to complete the perfect family day out, take a selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower.
Race Day at Hippodrome de Chantilly
We have been horse racing enthusiasts for a number of years and the Prix de Diane Longines at Chantilly is the perfect race days for families. Take a picnic and enjoy the races in this super relaxed environment. There is entertainment for the childre and the stunning castle in the backdrop. It is a race meet like no other!
Eiffel tower to the left, Louvre Pyramids to the right, and a picnic on a balmy Parisian summers night. It doesn't get much better than that. And with a restless toddler in tow, it makes for the perfect dinner setting as they can run around and make friends. During the day there is a cafe in the park as well as a playground – an ideal place for some downtime if you need to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
Disneyland Paris
We visited Disneyland on our first trip to Paris with Mackenzie when she was 6 months old. And believe it or not, it snowed! Now that is pretty magical. Many of the rides were shut and we only stayed for a few hours, however it was worth the journey for the merchandise. I cannot wait to return when she is a little bigger and we can enjoy more of what it has to offer.
Considering a holiday or city break in Paris with kids? I hope my debrief has swayed you into booking those tickets sooner rather than later. If you are looking for more inspiration for Euro Trips, why not check out Travel Diary | Budapest or Family Travel Diary | Mallorca, Spain. These two holidays destinations are very different to Paris, but fabulous in their own rights. Happy travels – Shell x

It's the final installment to The Hunger Games trilogy! Of course Kelly & Lauren are excited for it. Melissa will have to catch up within the next year or so.
Lauren's super excited for this action packed sci-fi film! The others would like to read the novel first.
Melissa is wicked excited for this twist on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice! She's been anxiously waiting since she heard Matt Smith is in the film. She even convinced Molly to save the date and go see the movie with her. She has plenty of time to read the book too.
We're excited for part 1 of the two part adaptation of Allegiant Veronica Roth. Well Melissa not so much, but Lauren and Kelly are!
We all loved growing up with Harry Potter here on the blog. So there's no doubt that we'll be seeing this movie the first week it comes out in theaters.
This is one of the films Kelly is most excited for next year. Learning Samuel L. Jackson is supposed to star in the film has piqued Melissa's interest.
There's some mixed feelings about this film releasing. Kelly is completely on board while Melissa is skeptical. Lauren hasn't read the books yet. We'll just have to see.

Mission Statement
We view chemical dependency as a progressive disease that affects the mind, the body, and the spirit of the individual. We believe the highest level of client accountability, along with education and skill development, will interrupt the disease and lead a person to a happy, hopeful, and productive life. We are certain that every person, regardless of income, age, gender, or ethnicity, has a right to be free from the bondage of addiction.
It is our treatment philosophy that chemical dependency is a disease that impacts the addicted individual as well as their families and the entire community. Our approach to treatment involves the family and encourages the affected individual to work towards becoming a productive member of society. We have learned that addicts can recover in an environment that offers consistent directive therapy in an appropriate level of care. Directive therapy guides the client's recovery by teaching firm boundaries and a high level of accountability.
Family members can be shown how to encourage and love the affected individual in a way that will support and enhance a strong recovery.
Becoming chemically dependent doesn't happen overnight and neither does recovery. Each client has a unique life experience and a treatment plan should only be decided after a complete assessment that reveals the individual's needs. Treatment for chemical dependency can last up to two years depending on the severity of the disease and execution of the treatment plan.
We strive for success using evidence-based practices, such as Motivational Enhancement Therapy Cognitive and Dialectal substance abuse therapies, and Behavioral therapy. We encourage 12-step interaction combined with abstinence-based treatment. We strongly defend and practice the disease model of therapy.
Recovery Unlimited provides services to the diverse individual population affected by the disease of addiction. Certified and licensed professionals facilitate group, individual, couples and family therapy sessions to the highest standards of practice. Our treatment team implements evidenced based curricula and continually upgrades training and certifications for each curriculum facilitated to include advanced professional practices by continuing education and treatment upgrades.
We provide all-encompassing behavioral health services for adults and adolescents. Individuals are screened for behavioral health issues and prescribed medication. Individuals are assessed regularly to assure an appropriate and minimal individual requirement of medication management for behavioral health concerns while constantly monitoring and communicating with the individual's possible experiences of negative side effects. Individuals will address both their behavioral health and substance abuse needs simultaneously.
