Gatsby had hoped that his wild parties would attract an unsuspecting Daisy, who lived across the bay, to appear at his doorstep and allow him to present himself as a man of wealth and position. The characters based on the Murphys were originally named Seth and Dinah Piper, and Francis was intended to fall in love with Dinah — an event that would help to precipitate his disintegration.
Her choice between Gatsby and Tom is one of the central conflicts in the novel. She hits her ball and continues on, as the men alternately praise or criticize her beauty and forward behavior. How was the hypothermia brought on? Dick toys with the idea of having an affair with Rosemary.

It has variously been interpreted as a symbol of Gatsby's longing for Daisy and, more broadly, of the American dream. Nick encounters Jordan Baker at the party and they meet Gatsby himself, an aloof and surprisingly young man who recognizes Nick because they were in the same division in the Great War.
Yes, we've missed a few of the flourishes, but once you start holding people indefinitely without trial and torturing them to death, matters of style and fashion don't really matter that much, do they?

Nick organizes an unsettlingly small funeral for Gatsby which none of Gatsby's associates, only one of his partygoers and his estranged father Henry Gatz, attend. Legal critics within the Administration had been allowed to think that they were engaged in a meaningful process; but their deliberations appeared to have been largely an academic exercise, or, worse, a charade.

To define optimal thromboprophylaxis strategy after stent implantation in superior or total cavopulmonary connections.
Stent thrombosis is a rare complication of intravascular stenting, with a perceived higher risk in single-ventricle patients.
All patients who underwent stent implantation within superior or total cavopulmonary connections (caval vein, innominate vein, Fontan, or branch pulmonary arteries) were included. Cohort was divided into aspirin therapy alone versus advanced anticoagulation, including warfarin, enoxaparin, heparin, or clopidogrel. Primary endpoint was in-stent or downstream thrombus, and secondary endpoints included bleeding complications.
A total of 58 patients with single-ventricle circulation underwent 72 stent implantations. Of them 14 stents (19%) were implanted post-superior cavopulmonary connection and 58 (81%) post-total cavopulmonary connection. Indications for stenting included vessel/conduit stenosis (67%), external compression (18%), and thrombotic occlusion (15%). Advanced anticoagulation was prescribed for 32 (44%) patients and aspirin for 40 (56%) patients. Median follow up was 1.1 (25th–75th percentile, 0.5–2.6) years. Echocardiograms were available in 71 patients (99%), and advanced imaging in 44 patients (61%). Thrombosis was present in two patients on advanced anticoagulation (6.3%) and none noted in patients on aspirin (p = 0.187). Both patients with in-stent thrombus underwent initial stenting due to occlusive left pulmonary artery thrombus acutely post-superior cavopulmonary connection. There were seven (22%) significant bleeding complications for advanced anticoagulation and none for aspirin (p < 0.001).
Antithrombotic strategy does not appear to affect rates of in-stent thrombus in single-ventricle circulations. Aspirin alone may be sufficient for most patients undergoing stent implantation, while pre-existing thrombus may warrant advanced anticoagulation.
Abnormal Ca homeostasis has been associated with impaired glucose metabolism. However, the epidemiological evidence is controversial. We aimed to assess the association between circulating Ca levels and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or abnormal glucose homeostasis through conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis. Eligible studies were identified by searching electronic database (PubMed, Embase and Google Scholar) and related references with de novo results from primary studies up to December 2018. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed to estimate the weighted relative risks (RR) and 95 % CI for the associations. The search yielded twenty eligible publications with eight cohort studies identified for the meta-analysis, which included a total of 89 165 participants. Comparing the highest with the lowest category of albumin-adjusted serum Ca, the pooled RR was 1·14 (95 % CI 1·05, 1·24) for T2DM (n 51 489). Similarly, serum total Ca was associated with incident T2DM (RR 1·25; 95 % CI 1·10, 1·42) (n 64 502). Additionally, the adjusted RR for 1 mg/dl increments in albumin-adjusted serum Ca or serum total Ca levels was 1·16 (95 % CI 1·07, 1·27) and 1·19 (95 % CI 1·11, 1·28), respectively. The observed associations remained with the inclusion of a cohort study with ionised Ca as the exposure. However, data pooled from neither case–control (n 4) nor cross-sectional (n 8) studies manifested a significant correlation between circulating Ca and glucose homeostasis. In conclusion, accumulated data from the cohort studies suggest that higher circulating Ca levels are associated with an augmented risk of T2DM.
Background: The Endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) has become increasingly popular in the treatment of suprasellar meningiomas, which often cause visual symptoms due to compression of the anterior optic apparatus. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review on patients who underwent EEA optic nerve decompression and resection of suprasellar meningiomas between January 1st 2005 and December 1st 2018 at McMaster University. Results: The mean age of our patients was 59.8 years. We treated 9 male and 23 female patients, with a mean follow up of 6.29 years. 23 patients (71.9%) presented with visual symptoms, with a mean duration of 8.65 months. In our patient cohort, 95.5% had stable or improved visual acuity postoperatively. Less than six months of visual decline was more likely to be associated with postoperative improvement of visual acuity, with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.0222 (95% CI: 0.0017–0.289, p<0.05); as well as visual field (OR:0.0625; 95% CI, 0.0042–0.915, p<0.05). Additionally, the absence of RAPD was associated with improved postoperative visual acuity (OR: 0.0675; 95% CI, 0.0354–0.706, p<0.05). Conclusions: Endoscopic endonasal approach can achieve good visual outcome in patients harboring suprasellar meningiomas. Symptom duration of less than six months and absence of RAPD were positive predictor of postoperative visual outcome.
To determine the factors related to multiple ventilation tube insertions in children with otitis media with effusion.
A retrospective review was performed of 126 ears of 81 children aged less than 12 years who had undergone insertion of a Paparella type 1 ventilation tube for the first time between August 2012 and March 2018.
Mean age at the first operation was 4.0 ± 2.2 years, and the mean duration of otitis media with effusion before the first ventilation tube insertion was 5.4 ± 4.5 months. Among 126 ears, 80 (63.5 per cent) had a single ventilation tube insertion and 46 (36.5 per cent) had multiple insertions. On multivariate logistic regression, tympanic membrane retraction, serous middle-ear discharge, and early recurrence of otitis media with effusion were independent predictive factors of multiple ventilation tube insertions.
Tympanic membrane retraction, serous middle-ear discharge, and early recurrence of otitis media with effusion after the first tube extrusion are associated with multiple ventilation tube insertions.
Given the challenges in accurately identifying unexposed controls in case–control studies of diarrhoea, we examined diarrhoea incidence, subclinical enteric infections and growth stunting within a reference population in the Global Enteric Multicenter Study, Kenya site. Within 'control' children (0–59 months old without diarrhoea in the 7 days before enrolment, n = 2384), we examined surveys at enrolment and 60-day follow-up, stool at enrolment and a 14-day post-enrolment memory aid for diarrhoea incidence. At enrolment, 19% of controls had ⩾1 enteric pathogen associated with moderate-to-severe diarrhoea ('MSD pathogens') in stool; following enrolment, many reported diarrhoea (27% in 7 days, 39% in 14 days). Controls with and without reported diarrhoea had similar carriage of MSD pathogens at enrolment; however, controls reporting diarrhoea were more likely to report visiting a health facility for diarrhoea (27% vs. 7%) or fever (23% vs. 16%) at follow-up than controls without diarrhoea. Odds of stunting differed by both MSD and 'any' (including non-MSD pathogens) enteric pathogen carriage, but not diarrhoea, suggesting control classification may warrant modification when assessing long-term outcomes. High diarrhoea incidence following enrolment and prevalent carriage of enteric pathogens have implications for sequelae associated with subclinical enteric infections and for design and interpretation of case–control studies examining diarrhoea.
Toca 511 (vocimagene amiretrorepvec) is an investigational, conditionally lytic, retroviral replicating vector (RRV). RRVs selectively infect cancer cells due to innate and adaptive immune response defects in cancers that allow virus replication, and the requirement for cell division for virus integration into the genome. Toca 511 spreads through tumors, stably delivering an optimized yeast cytosine deaminase gene that converts the prodrug Toca FC (investigational, extended-release 5-FC) into 5-FU within the tumor microenvironment. 5-FU kills infected dividing cancer cells and surrounding tumor, myeloid derived suppressor cells, and tumor associated macrophages, resulting in long-term tumor immunity in preclinical models. Data from a Phase 1 resection trial showed six durable CRs and extended mOS compared to historical controls. The FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for Toca 511 & Toca FC in the treatment of patients with rHGG. Toca 5 is an international, randomized, open-label Phase 3 trial (NCT02414165) of Toca 511 & Toca FC versus SOC in patients undergoing resection for first or second recurrence of rHGG. Patients will be stratified by IDH1 status, KPS, and geographic region. Primary endpoint is OS, and secondary endpoints are durable response rate, durable clinical benefit rate, duration of durable response, and 12-month survival rate. Key inclusion criteria are histologically proven GBM or AA, tumor size ≥1cm and ≤5cm, and KPS ≥70. Immune monitoring and molecular profiling will be performed. Approximately 380 patients will be randomized. An IDMC is commissioned to review the safety and efficacy data which includes 2 interim analyses. Enrollment is ongoing.
Coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and viral hepatitis is associated with high morbidity and mortality in the absence of clinical management, making identification of these cases crucial. We examined characteristics of HIV and viral hepatitis coinfections by using surveillance data from 15 US states and two cities. Each jurisdiction used an automated deterministic matching method to link surveillance data for persons with reported acute and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections, to persons reported with HIV infection. Of the 504 398 persons living with diagnosed HIV infection at the end of 2014, 2.0% were coinfected with HBV and 6.7% were coinfected with HCV. Of the 269 884 persons ever reported with HBV, 5.2% were reported with HIV. Of the 1 093 050 persons ever reported with HCV, 4.3% were reported with HIV. A greater proportion of persons coinfected with HIV and HBV were males and blacks/African Americans, compared with those with HIV monoinfection. Persons who inject drugs represented a greater proportion of those coinfected with HIV and HCV, compared with those with HIV monoinfection. Matching HIV and viral hepatitis surveillance data highlights epidemiological characteristics of persons coinfected and can be used to routinely monitor health status and guide state and national public health interventions.
In this brief report, computed tomography perfusion (CTP) thresholds predicting follow-up infarction in patients presenting <3 hours from stroke onset and achieving ultra-early reperfusion (<45 minutes from CTP) are reported. CTP thresholds that predict follow-up infarction vary based on time to reperfusion: Tmax >20 to 23 seconds and cerebral blood flow <5 to 7 ml/min−1/(100 g)−1 or relative cerebral blood flow <0.14 to 0.20 optimally predicted the final infarct. These thresholds are stricter than published thresholds.
The overall objective of our work is to assess the relative contributions of plant enzymes and rumen microbes to rumen degradation of freshly-ingested herbage. In situ techniques have been used extensively to compare rumen degradation characteristics of feeds, though there remain technical problems associated with microbial contamination of residues after incubation. We hypothesised that techniques to study microbial contamination might also provide insights into microbial colonisation. Our earlier studies (Lee et al., 1999) identified distinctive odd-chain fatty acids that could be used as microbial markers. A dacron bag study was conducted to examine the influence of dacron bag rinsing techniques on DM disappearance and microbial contamination in residues from fresh grass, assessed using odd-chain fatty acids as markers.
Whether monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twins differ from each other in a variety of phenotypes is important for genetic twin modeling and for inferences made from twin studies in general. We analyzed whether there were differences in individual, maternal and paternal education between MZ and DZ twins in a large pooled dataset. Information was gathered on individual education for 218,362 adult twins from 27 twin cohorts (53% females; 39% MZ twins), and on maternal and paternal education for 147,315 and 143,056 twins respectively, from 28 twin cohorts (52% females; 38% MZ twins). Together, we had information on individual or parental education from 42 twin cohorts representing 19 countries. The original education classifications were transformed to education years and analyzed using linear regression models. Overall, MZ males had 0.26 (95% CI [0.21, 0.31]) years and MZ females 0.17 (95% CI [0.12, 0.21]) years longer education than DZ twins. The zygosity difference became smaller in more recent birth cohorts for both males and females. Parental education was somewhat longer for fathers of DZ twins in cohorts born in 1990–1999 (0.16 years, 95% CI [0.08, 0.25]) and 2000 or later (0.11 years, 95% CI [0.00, 0.22]), compared with fathers of MZ twins. The results show that the years of both individual and parental education are largely similar in MZ and DZ twins. We suggest that the socio-economic differences between MZ and DZ twins are so small that inferences based upon genetic modeling of twin data are not affected.
Holstein-Friesian steer beef production is renowned globally as a secondary product of the milk industry. Grass feeding is a common practice in raising Holstein steers because of its low cost. Furthermore, grass feeding is an alternative way to produce beef with a balanced n-6 to n-3 fatty acids (FAs) ratio. However, the performance and meat quality of Holstein-Friesian cattle is more likely to depend on a high-quality diet. The aim of this study was to observe whether feeding two mixed diets; a corn-based total mixed ration (TMR) with winter ryegrass (Lolium perenne) or flaxseed oil-supplemented pellets with reed canary grass haylage (n-3 mix) provided benefits on carcass weight, meat quality and FA composition compared with cattle fed with reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) haylage alone. In all, 15 21-month-old Holstein-Friesian steers were randomly assigned to three group pens, were allowed free access to water and were fed different experimental diets for 150 days. Blood samples were taken a week before slaughter. Carcass weight and meat quality were evaluated after slaughter. Plasma lipid levels and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), creatine kinase (CK) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities were determined. Diet did not affect plasma triglyceride levels and GGT activity. Plasma cholesterol levels, including low-density and high-density lipoproteins, were higher in both mixed-diet groups than in the haylae group. The highest activities of plasma AST, CK and ALP were observed in the haylage group, followed by n-3 mix and TMR groups, respectively. Carcass weight was lower in the haylage group than in the other groups and no differences were found between the TMR and n-3 mix groups. Although the n-3 mix-fed and haylage-fed beef provided lower n-6 to n-3 FAs ratio than TMR-fed beef, the roasted beef obtained from the TMR group was more acceptable with better overall meat physicochemical properties and sensory scores. According to daily cost, carcass weight and n-6 to n-3 FAs ratio, the finishing diet containing flaxseed oil-supplemented pellets and reed canary grass haylage at the as-fed ratio of 40 : 60 could be beneficial for the production of n-3-enriched beef.
Cultures obtained from pre-operative middle-ear swabs from patients with chronic otitis media have traditionally been used to guide antibiotic selection. This study investigated changes in the bacterial strains of the middle ear during chronic otitis media surgery.
Pre-operative bacterial cultures of otorrhoea, and peri-operative cultures of the granulation tissue in either the middle ear or mastoid cavity, were obtained. Post-operative cultures were selectively obtained when otorrhoea developed after surgery.
Bacterial growth was observed in 45.5 per cent of pre-operative cultures, 13.5 per cent of peri-operative cultures and 4.5 per cent of post-operative cultures. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was identified as the most common bacteria in all pre-operative (32.4 per cent), peri-operative (52.4 per cent) and post-operative (71.4 per cent) tests, and the percentage of Methicillin-resistant S aureus increased from the pre- to the post-operative period.
The bacterial culture results for post-operative otorrhoea showed low agreement with those for pre-operative or peri-operative culture, and strain re-identification was required.
Introduction: Emergency department (ED) access block is the #1 safety concern in Canadian EDs. Its main cause is hospital access block, manifested by prolonged boarding of inpatients in EDs. Hospital administrators often believe this problem is too big to be solved and would require large increases in hospital capacity. Our objective was to quantify ED access gap by estimating the cumulative hours that CTAS 1-3 patients are blocked in waiting areas. This value, expressed as a proportion of inpatient care capacity, is an estimate of the bed hours a hospital would have to find in order to resolve ED access. Methods: A convenience sample of urban Canadian ED directors were asked to provide data summarizing their CTAS 1-3 inflow, the proportion triaged to nursed stretchers vs. RAZ or Intake areas, and time to care space. Total ED access gap was calculated by multiplying the number of CTAS 1-3 patients by their average delay to care space. Time to stretcher was captured electronically at participating sites, but time to RAZ or intake spaces was often not. In such cases, respondents provided time from triage to first RN or MD assessment in these areas. The primary outcome was total annual ED access block hours for emergent-urgent patients, expressed as a proportion of funded inpatient bed hours. Results: Directors of 40 EDs were queried. Six sites did not gather the data elements required. Of 34 remaining, 29 (85.3%) provided data, including 15 tertiary (T), 10 community (C) and 2 pediatric (P) sites in 12 cities. Mean census for the 3 ED types was 72,308 (T), 58,849 C) and 61,050 (P) visits per year. CTAS 1-3 patients accounted for 73.4% (T), 67.7% (C) and 66.2% (P) of visits in the 3 groups, and 34% (T), 46% (C) and 44% (P) of these patients were treated in RAZ or intake areas rather than staffed ED stretchers. Mean time to stretcher/RAZ care was 50/71 min (T), 46/62 min (C), and 37/59 min (P). Average ED access gap was 47,564 hrs (T), 37,222 hrs (C) and 35,407 hrs (P), while average inpatient bed capacity was 599 beds (5,243,486 hrs), 291 beds (2,545,875 hrs) and 150 beds (1,314,000 hrs) respectively. ED access gap as a proportion of inpatient care capacity was 0.93% for tertiary, 1.46% for community and 2.69% for pediatric centres. Conclusion: ED access gap is very large in Canadian EDs, but small compared to hospital operating capacity. Hospital capacity or efficiency improvements in the range of 1-3% could profoundly mitigate ED access block.
Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) production has been very rare in serotype K1 Klebsiella pneumoniae ST23 strains, which are well-known invasive community strains. Among 92 ESBL-producing strains identified in 218 isolates from nine Asian countries, serotype K1 K. pneumoniae strains were screened. Two ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae isolates from Singapore and Indonesia were determined to be serotype K1 and ST23. Their plasmids, which contain CTX-M-15 genes, are transferable rendering the effective transfer of ESBL resistance plasmids to other organisms.
Previous studies have illustrated pediatric knowledge deficits among Emergency Medical Services (EMS) providers. The purpose of this study was to identify perspectives of a diverse group of EMS providers regarding pediatric prehospital care educational deficits and proposed methods of training improvements.
Purposive sampling was used to recruit EMS providers in diverse settings for study participation. Two separate focus groups of EMS providers (administrative and non-administrative personnel) were held in three locations (urban, suburban, and rural). A professional moderator facilitated focus group discussion using a guide developed by the study team. A grounded theory approach was used to analyze data.
Forty-two participants provided data. Four major themes were identified: (1) suboptimal previous pediatric training and training gaps in continuing pediatric education; (2) opportunities for improved interactions with emergency department (ED) staff, including case-based feedback on patient care; (3) barriers to optimal pediatric prehospital care; and (4) proposed pediatric training improvements.
Focus groups identified four themes surrounding preparation of EMS personnel for providing care to pediatric patients. These themes can guide future educational interventions for EMS to improve pediatric prehospital care.

Universal screening for postpartum depression is recommended in many countries. Knowledge of whether the disclosure of depressive symptoms in the postpartum period differs across cultures could improve detection and provide new insights into the pathogenesis. Moreover, it is a necessary step to evaluate the universal use of screening instruments in research and clinical practice. In the current study we sought to assess whether the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), the most widely used screening tool for postpartum depression, measures the same underlying construct across cultural groups in a large international dataset.
Ordinal regression and measurement invariance were used to explore the association between culture, operationalized as education, ethnicity/race and continent, and endorsement of depressive symptoms using the EPDS on 8209 new mothers from Europe and the USA.
Education, but not ethnicity/race, influenced the reporting of postpartum depression [difference between robust comparative fit indexes (∆*CFI) < 0.01]. The structure of EPDS responses significantly differed between Europe and the USA (∆*CFI > 0.01), but not between European countries (∆*CFI < 0.01).
Investigators and clinicians should be aware of the potential differences in expression of phenotype of postpartum depression that women of different educational backgrounds may manifest. The increasing cultural heterogeneity of societies together with the tendency towards globalization requires a culturally sensitive approach to patients, research and policies, that takes into account, beyond rhetoric, the context of a person's experiences and the context in which the research is conducted.
The Antarctic Roadmap Challenges (ARC) project identified critical requirements to deliver high priority Antarctic research in the 21st century. The ARC project addressed the challenges of enabling technologies, facilitating access, providing logistics and infrastructure, and capitalizing on international co-operation. Technological requirements include: i) innovative automated in situ observing systems, sensors and interoperable platforms (including power demands), ii) realistic and holistic numerical models, iii) enhanced remote sensing and sensors, iv) expanded sample collection and retrieval technologies, and v) greater cyber-infrastructure to process 'big data' collection, transmission and analyses while promoting data accessibility. These technologies must be widely available, performance and reliability must be improved and technologies used elsewhere must be applied to the Antarctic. Considerable Antarctic research is field-based, making access to vital geographical targets essential. Future research will require continent- and ocean-wide environmentally responsible access to coastal and interior Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. Year-round access is indispensable. The cost of future Antarctic science is great but there are opportunities for all to participate commensurate with national resources, expertise and interests. The scope of future Antarctic research will necessitate enhanced and inventive interdisciplinary and international collaborations. The full promise of Antarctic science will only be realized if nations act together.
A new approach is proposed to analyze Bremsstrahlung X-rays that are emitted from laser-produced plasmas (LPP) and are measured by a stack type spectrometer. This new method is based on a spectral tomographic reconstruction concept with the variational principle for optimization, without referring to the electron energy distribution of a plasma. This approach is applied to the analysis of some experimental data obtained at a few major laser facilities to demonstrate the applicability of the method. Slope temperatures of X-rays from LPP are determined with a two-temperature model, showing different spectral characteristics of X-rays depending on laser properties used in the experiments.
This study was conducted to determine the optimal space allowance for maximizing the growth performance of pigs at each of the following five growth stages (based on BW ranges): stage 1, 11 to 25 kg BW; stage 2, 25 to 45 kg BW; stage 3, 45 to 65 kg BW; stage 4, 65 to 85 kg BW; and stage 5, 85 to 110 kg BW. A total of 1590 crossbred (Landrace×Yorkshire×Duroc) pigs were assigned to one of four treatments at each growth stage, with three replicates each. Pen areas at each growth stage were 6, 11, 16, 19.5 and 20 m2 for stages 1 to 5, respectively. Space allowances for the four treatments at each growth stage were modified by varying the number of pigs per pen (22, 25, 28 and 31 pigs in T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively). Blood samples were collected on the final day of each growth stage. The average daily gain (ADG) decreased significantly with decreased space allowances at all growth stages, except at stage 2. Average daily feed intake (ADFI) was not significantly affected by space allowances at stages 1 to 4; however, at stage 5, there was a linear effect of space allowance on ADFI. Thus, the feed conversion ratio showed results similar to those for ADG. Serum cortisol concentrations, indicating the level of stress response, increased as space allowances decreased. The highest serum cortisol concentrations were observed in T3 at stages 2 to 5. Serum tumor necrosis factor-α levels were significantly higher in association with a small space allowance than with at large space allowance at stages 2, 4 and 5. Serum interleukin-1β levels also increased in a significant linear manner at every growth stage in pigs reared at a low space allowance, except at stage 4 (P=0.068). This study found that limited space allowance decreases the growth performance of pigs and induces stress and inflammatory responses. We confirmed that no significant effect of space allowance on growth performance and serum cortisol concentrations are observed between T1 and T2 across all growth stages. We suggest that the optimal space allowances for pigs according to their BW are as follows: 0.24, 0.44, 0.64, 0.78 and 0.80 m2/pig for BWs of 11 to 25, 25 to 45, 45 to 65, 65 to 85 and 85 to 115 kg, respectively.

Treating Acute Water Intoxication in Pets
Acute water intoxication is not common, and it generally happens during the warmer months when a pet has been at the beach or a pool. Make sure you know what to look for and the best next steps to take if a patient presents with this tricky problem.
The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center explains that initially—and in milder cases—clinical signs may include nausea, vomiting, lethargy and abdominal distention. In more severe cases ataxia, weakness, coma, seizures, hypothermia and bradycardia may occur.
Hyponatremia will be noted on laboratory tests; however hypochloremia, hypokalemia and hyposthenuria are also seen.
Treatment Options
The primary goal with treating acute water intoxication is to raise the plasma sodium concentration; typically this is done no faster than 0.5-1 mEq/L per hour, however if patients are showing severe symptoms in an acute situation, this rate may be faster.
For more mildly affected patients this may mean a mild water restriction with serial electrolyte monitoring and close observation for any neurological signs. In more symptomatic cases fluids containing a sodium concentration that is higher than what the patient shows are generally recommended.
In critically affected cases hypertonic saline, furosemide or mannitol may be considered.
Caution is advised in treating as there is potential risk for osmotic demyelination or brain dehydration from the rapid and large increase in serum sodium concentration. Unfortunately clinical signs that osmotic demyelination occurred do not become evident until 3-4 days after the correction of hyponatremia. Clinical signs may include lethargy, weakness, and ataxia that can progress to hypermetria and quadriparesis.

Our initial need is to have a GIS tool that overlays images on a map which is not facing north. In our research we have seen that only Mapbox and OpenLayers support this.
Along with that we want other functionality - zoom, easyto , scaleto, pitch etc.
We have seen that mapbox is an answer to all problems but its pretty pricey now (499 p/month). Does that price paid for mapbox as the mapping layer or for a commercial use with mapbox.js / mapboxgl.js as well?
If mapbox.js is free to use commercially, can we use it with OpenLayers as maps layer?
We tried to use OpenLayers so far but it lacks some functionality for us, and have some issues with image georeference (for example the image must be rotated in advance to face north)
Any advice?

Site visit: Cayan Cantara, Dubai, UAE
The $272m Cayan Cantara development looks set to boast a selection of impressive features, including the highest projected swimming pool in Dubai
If you're taking a stroll along Dubai Marina or enjoying a boat ride across its waters, it's impossible to miss the famous twisted Cayan Tower. The helical structure has been officially declared by the Guinness World Records as the globe's tallest twisted tower, at a height of 307m.
Cayan Group, the firm behind this tower, is an international property developer and real estate investor headquartered in Saudi Arabia. The company ventured into the UAE during the pre-recession period, and has since pushed forward with major developments across the city.
The financial crisis of 2008/09 may have persuaded Cayan to slow down its expansion in Dubai, but it didn't prevent the firm from completing its existing crop of developments.
In total, Cayan has seven developments in the Emirate, including twin tower Silverene, which was handed over in 2011. Then there is Jewels, a 20-storey twin-tower project located within walking distance of The Walk at Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR).
Dorrabay is a 22-storey residential tower with views of the beach and the marina. Its 14-storey counterpart La Residencia Del Mar is also located in Dubai Marina.
At present, the developer is focusing its efforts on construction activities at one of its flagship projects, Cayan Cantara. Located on Umm Suqeim Road, the $272m (AED1bn) development comprises a 38-storey hotel-apartment tower and a 42-storey branded residential tower. It also includes retail shops, restaurants, a spa, a glass-walled swimming pool, a fitness centre, a conference hall, and parking spaces for 780 cars. The development is being funded in collaboration with the UAE-based financial investment company, Shuaa Capital.
Ashraf Qudsiyeh, senior projects manager at Cayan Group, tells Construction Week: "The hotel apartment will have 314 keys, whereas the residential tower will have 407 units. It will feature studio, one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments with a penthouse at the top of each tower.
"We will appoint an operator for the hotel apartments; we are not going to manage it ourselves. We are currently finalising the contract and the tender is going to be awarded soon."
The towers will be connected by two shared basements, five floors above the ground, and three podiums. At level 33, there will be a connecting bridge, which is expected to cover three floors. A sky gymnasium will be suspended within the bridge, as well as a meeting room, a lounge, and other community facilities.
Construction work currently taking place at the site includes enabling, shoring, and piling activities. "The enabling works are expected to be completed in another three to five weeks. We commenced work in November 2015, and have completed almost 15% of the piling works so far," explains Qudsiyeh, who adds that structural construction will begin following the appointment of a main contractor.
Cayan is currently finalising the documents for the tendering process. Qudsiyeh says the firm will "announce the name [of the main contractor] sometime in May of this year". He adds: "Our priority while tendering and selecting the main contractor will depend on the company's reputation for previous projects and local experience."
Cayan has enlisted Turkish contractor Zetas to conduct the project's enabling works. Qudsiyeh mentions: "Having Zetas on board was a strategic decision because they have been working in the GCC for years; they have local experience, which is an important criteria for us."
The contractor is presently using test piles, at depths of 12m and 24m, to see whether they fit the design. "Progress is as per the plans," explains Qudsiyeh. "30 piles have already been completed out of 420, along with the 1.5m excavation that needs to be conducted following piling."
"When all the piles have been cast, we will conduct the final excavation, making the site ready for the main contractor.
"So far, the work has been going really smoothly; the soil is good for work as per the soil investigation reports. We did not encounter much underground water."
The concept architect for the project is Japanese design house, Nikken Sekkei. The design package, which includes structural, and mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP), is being conducted by local consultant, Dewan. Recently, the interior design package was awarded to Spanish architecture firm, Intercon.
"We also have many sub-consultants working on the project, mainly for façades, kitchen and waste, landscaping, and so on. We believe that in order to achieve the best results, we need a specialist in every [area], rather than awarding works to one who might not have enough expertise."
With completion due in mid-2018, Cayan Cantara has already witnessed a positive response from end users and investors. Phase 1 of the project sold out in under two weeks, according to the developer. The first 100 units were sold within a week, when off-plan sales were launched in April 2015.
"The off-plan sales were good; they generated a lot of interest from the market. Almost 50% of the residential apartments have been sold. Sales at the development are currently strong," Qudsiyeh claims.
He concludes: "We released a limited number of units during a pre-launch period to test the response of our investor base. We received more interest than had been initially anticipated. We believe that we are providing something new and giving our customers value for money, which is important in the current climate."

Turkish Press Review, 97-05-01
Turkish Press Review Directory - Previous Article - Next Article
From: Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs <http://www.mfa.gov.tr>
Summary of the political and economic news in the Turkish press this morning
[01] TURKEY-EU ASSOCIATION COUNCIL MEETING RESULTS PLEASE ANKARAThursday's late-night meeting of the Turkey-EU Association Council in Luxembourg has pleased Ankara with its results, despite remaining obstacles such as the continuing Greek vetos on funds owing to Turkey. The most satisfying result for Ankara is the official confirmation on the EU side that Turkey remains on course for eventual membership in the Union provided it fulfills objective criteria applicable to all prospective members. Turkish officials were also pleased at being assured that a report being prepared by the European Commission on relations between Turkey and the EU would not represent a blueprint for a new kind of relationship between the sides. /Sabah/
[02] CILLER, PANGALOS MEET IN ISTANBULTurkish Foreign Minister Tansu Ciller and her Greek counterpart Theodoros Pangalos met in Istanbul on Wednesday a day after the two countries decided to establish a committee of "wise men" who will look into the possibility of settling the seemingly intractable problems between the two countries. The two foreign ministers got together on the sidelines of a meeting of a Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSCE) forum in Istanbul. Both Ciller and Pangalos on Wednesday attended the meeting of the Turkey-EU Association Council in Luxembourg./Sabah/
[03] US: PKK IS THE MOST DANGEROUS TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONThe annual U.S. State Department report made public on Wednesday refers to Greece as a country that lends official support to anti-Turkish terrorists. "The Greek government continues to tolerate the official presence in Athens of two anti-Turkish terrorist groups - the National Liberation Front of Kurdistan, the political wing of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), and the Revolutionary People's Liberation Front. Referring to the fact that PKK attacks have noticeably decreased, the report interestingly says this is apparently not due to the Turkish army's successful campaign. The report puts PKK strength at between 10,000 to 15,000 'guerillas' and also mentions that the PKK has 'thousands of sympathizers' in Turkey and Europe. According to the report, Iran provides safe haven to elements of the PKK./Milliyet/Cumhuriyet_
[04] TURKEY AND ISRAEL TAKE GIANT STEP IN DEFENSE AREASDefense Minister Turhan Tayan, paying an official visit to Israel between April 30 and May 2, called on his counterpart Itzak Mordehay and inspected Israeli Aircraft Industries where Turkey's F-4's are being upgraded, ae well as attending two important briefings. He will be received by Israeli President Ezer Weizman on Thursday and will also meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netenyahu./Cumhuriyet/Sabah_
[05] BLACK SEA FOREIGN MINISTERS URGE TRANSPORT COOPERATIONThe foreign ministers of the 11-nation BSCE, meeting in Istanbul Wednesday, called for closer ties in telecommunications, transport, and education. "We have completed our infrastructure," Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Tansu Ciller, as term president of the Black Sea Economic Cooperative, said of the regional pact. Ciller said several telecommunications projects had already been completed to link the countries of the region. She urged the member nations to build the proposed "link corridor", a highway connecting the litorral countries of the Black Sea./Cumhuriyet/
[06] TURKISH POLICE SEIZE 48 KG OF HEROINTurkish police have seized 48 kg of heroin in the western province of Kocaeli, Anatolia news agency said on Wednesday. Police arrested four men with 48 kilo packets of the drug in an undercover operation by posing as potential buyers, the agency said.
[07] 23 TERRORISTS KILLEDSecurity Forces killed 23 terrorists during military operations in eastern and southeastern regions of Turkey. Four village guards, who involved in the operations conducted in northern Iraq, were killed by terrorists and four security forces members were wounded. Four guards were killed at the end of attacks launched by PKK terrorists in Cukurca province of Hakkari. The Emergency Rule Regional Governor's office said in a statement that 18 separatists terrorists were killed during military operations which were launched to catch them in Dargecit township of Mardin province. Nine terrorists were killed in Ovacik township of Tunceli province. Security operations continue in the region. /Cumhuriyet/Milliyet_
[08] FOREIGN POLICY UNDER DEBATE IN GERMANYGerman people and the German government are all under pressure to review German policy in connection with the status of foreigners living in Germany. Old laws from back in 1913 are still in force and they restrict the application of foreigners seeking naturalization.
A lot of the foreign people now in Germany can no longer be described as "guests" and the government is being forced into doing something about their situation even though feeling against foreigners runs high in Germany.
Turkish workers are especially interested in developments because they are the target of racist attacks because of their Turkish origins. /Sabah/
[09] CYPRIOT GREEKS THINKING MORE POSITIVELYThe Greek Cypriot community on Cyprus, led by Glafkos Clerides, is looking more positively at efforts to resolve the situation on the island. The Greek Cypriot community has noted that a seven part Russian proposal package could well lead to new ideas on the Cyprus issue. /Hurriyet/
[10] TURKISH DOCTOR APPLAUDED IN THE USTurkish doctor Sukru Emre has won the admiration of his colleagues in the US for a successful "in-situ split liver transplant" during which he saved two seriously ill patients. Doctor Emre works at the noted Sinai Research Hospital where he has already carried 800 successful specialized liver transplants. /Hurriyet/
[11] TOURISM COOPERATION WITH CYPRUSTurkish Tourism Minister Bahattin Yucel went to Cyprus two days ago to sign an "Accord for Cooperation in Tourism" which foresees the development of touristic relations between Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) to boost growing tourism potential. /Hurriyet/
[12] TURCO-GREEK DIALOGUE BEGINSA statement made at the Turkish-EU Association Council in Luxembourg said that Turco-Greek dialogue had begun and that the Foreign Relations Committee would write a report by June at the latest. The first meeting will be held in Holland with further meetings to follow in Ankara and Athens. Dialogue between the undersecretaries of the foreign ministries of the two countries, Onur Oymen and Yorgo Papandreu, will continue. In a statement to the Turkish Hurriyet newspaper, Papandreu said that he would continue to meet with Oymen and would study new formulas for the solution of all the problems between Turkey and Greece. Papandreu stated that the first meeting of the two undersecretaries would be held at the Council of Ministers of the European Council in Strasbourg in the forthcoming days. /Hurriyet/
[13] SOYLEMEZ PERSUADES WORLD BANKState Minister Ufuk Soylemez said that Chairman of the World Bank James Wolfenshon had been impressed with developments in the Turkish economy. Within the framework of his contacts in Washington, Soylemez met with US Deputy Secretary of Treasury David Lipton and said: "We underlined during our meetings that Turkey is a secular and democratic state of law". He also detailed recent economic, political and social developments in Turkey. Soylemez noted that Deputy Chairman of the World Bank Johannes Lynn would visit Turkey in June. /Sabah/

This is a guest post from Connor Wood. Read his article, co-authored with John H. Shaver, in ESIC 2.2: "Religion, Evolution, and the Basis of Institutions: The Institutional Cognition Model of Religion"
A mentor of mine happens to be an expert in Talmudic demonology. In conversation the other day, he observed that the authors of the Talmud questioned seemingly everything in Judaism, but never for a moment doubted the existence of spirits and demons. In a religious text famously filled with quibbling disagreements, the existence of the spiritual world is simply taken for granted. How could the existence of invisible spirits be as obvious to the Talmud's authors as the existence of gravity and oxygen is for us moderns?
The cognitive science of religion (CSR) tries to answer this question using cognitive and evolutionary psychology. Specifically, many CSR researchers argue that our brains were shaped by natural selection to be hyper-attentive of agency, or intentionality, in our environments, in order to avoid Type II (false-negative) errors as we navigated the harsh landscapes of our early evolutionary history.
Say a hunter hears a cracking twig in the forest. It might be adaptive to immediately conclude that it's a tiger, because the cost of falsely believing that there's a tiger nearby is far less than the cost of falsely concluding that there isn't one when there really is. As a result, the human mind has a hair-trigger sensitivity to signs of agency. We see intentionality everywhere. So, the story goes, we naturally believe in invisible beings.
The CSR story is easy to tell, easy to believe, and intuitively satisfying. But it flies in the face of what anthropologists know about actual human religion. For instance, philosopher Kim Sterelny recently pointed out that ethnography shows that ritual is nearly always the critical driver of religious beliefs, implying that religious beliefs take work to sustain. Moreover, the CSR consensus
imagines our ancestors as timid, anxious victims tip-toeing through their terrifying environment, rather than as the efficient apex predators that they were.
Moreover, empirical research has recently shed doubt on the standard CSR story about the basis of our supernatural beliefs. For example, one study in Eastern Europe found that cultural upbringing was a far more important predictor of adult religiosity than cognitive biases were. Again, religious beliefs seem to be something we acquire from our cultural environment, and which take effort to maintain.
So in our recent article in Evolutionary Studies in Imaginative Culture, my colleague John Shaver and I drew on the work of anthropologist Maurice Bloch to outline a new way of thinking about religion in an evolutionary framework. Bloch argues that human beings live in two social worlds: the transactional and the transcendental. The transactional social world is based on strategic interactions between concrete, individual people. When people get sick or die, they exit the transactional world. They're no longer strategically relevant agents. By contrast, the transcendental world is made up of social roles, which persist even as different people inhabit and depart from them. The role of "king" is part of the transcendental social world. The person who is currently king might be Edward II or Henry V. But the office of king remains even as individual kings are crowned, live, and pass on.
Transcendental roles are based on ritual—that is, predictable, templated behavior. Elders and kings only exist because people behave in ways appropriate for those roles. If no one acted like a king—and if nobody treated anyone else like a king—then there would be no kings. In short, the transcendental social world depends on social norms.
Chimpanzees lack abstract social roles, and so their groups lack a transcendental social layer. The "alpha" chimp is just the one who can intimidate everyone else. But in a human society, "leader" is a role. Thus, human leaders can be (and often are) physically weaker or smaller than those they lead—unlikely for chimpanzees.
For the vast majority of human societies, the transcendental social world and the beliefs and practices that we might call religious are "part and parcel of a single unity" (Bloch, 2008). John and I agree with Bloch that language and imagination are crucial for producing the transcendental social world, and so also for giving rise to religion. Religious beliefs therefore have a lot in common with other "imagined" entities, such as national borders, laws, and governments. None of these things could exist without language, which allows humans to communicate about things that aren't tangibly present.
Our central argument builds on top of this foundation to posit that supernatural beings—such as spirits and gods—are crucial to this transcendental unity precisely because they lack physical instantiation. A king is both a role and a person, so there's always both a transactional and a transcendental dimension to any interactions with him. By contrast, gods are (at least cognitively) pure abstract roles. To interact with them, we imaginatively behave as if they were really there.
As such, gods end up being templates for our own behavior. Making a temple sacrifice, the believer substantiates the reality of the "other" she's interacting with, but all the responsibility is on her. Just as a soldier salutes "the uniform, not the man," the worshiper attends to the imagined role of the deity, not the absence of a physical presence. And just as our treatment of a border as if it were real makes it real—political borders don't exist in the natural world—our ritualized interactions with gods and spirits are what make them tangibly present in the world we can experience and see.
Since gods and spirits lack a transactional component, they aren't strategically manipulable agents. You can't threaten them, gang up on them, or strike hard bargains with them. John and I think that this makes them important anchor points for culturally parochial social norms in general. One of the main reasons people obey social norms, after all, is that they stand to get something out of it. If I help you move this month, then you might help me move next month. There's a transactional dimension to my decision to fulfill the friendship role.
But relationships with spirits and gods don't work like that. Most prosaically, if I spend time saying evening prayers, there's no guarantee I'll get what I prayed for. Time spent fulfilling religious duties is thus a conspicuous sacrifice. It acknowledges the normative requirements of the transcendental social world without transactional incentives. Over time, we think it inculcates a reflexively deontic, or normative, stance toward social obligations. Believers in gods learn to reflexively fulfill socially normative obligations—without calculating the transactional costs.
For this reason, John and I think that the human imagination is likely to converge on supernatural agent beliefs, time and again, across cultures. Only social roles that lie beyond the strategic reach of transactional incentives can stabilize the norms and roles that are linked together in a single transcendental whole. What we call "religion" is indeed cognitively natural, then, but not because it's a byproduct of cognitive biases, nor because beliefs in gods and spirits are somehow hardwired by evolution. Rather, we're a species whose social world is always half-physical and half-imagined. Gods are a convergent solution to the age-old problem of getting people to reliably play the roles necessary to sustain the imagined half of that divide.

At noon Saturday, Oct. 14., South Carolina-Tennessee will get together at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville for the annual SEC East showdown.
South Carolina (4-2, 2-2 SEC) plays against Tennessee (3-2, 0-2 SEC) on ESPN. The Vols lead the all-time series, 25-8-2.
The Gamecocks won last year's game in Williams-Brice Stadium, 24-21.
SEC Country shares some of the 2017 game's details below.
South Carolina-Tennessee game time, details
The South Carolina-Tennessee game kicks off at 12 p.m. ET on Saturday, October 14 at Williams-Brice Stadium.
South Carolina opened as an 2.5-point underdog with the point total set for 48.
Which TV channel is South Carolina-Tennessee on?
The game will be televised on ESPN. Mike Patrick, the play-by-play man, will be joined in the booth by analyst Tommy Tuberville. Paul Carcaterra will patrol the sidelines.
How can I watch South Carolina-Tennessee online?
The South Carolina-Tennessee game can also be caught online at watchespn.com and on the WatchESPN app.
How can I listen to South Carolina-Tennessee on the radio?
South Carolina fans can listen to their game against Tennessee on radio by tuning into the Gamecock IMG Sports Network . It will also be available on Sirius channel 137 and XM channel 190.
South Carolina-Tennessee preview, keys to the game
Will Muschamp has been in the hot seat before, so he knows how uncomfortable things are right now for Butch Jones.
South Carolina's second-year coach, who spent four seasons as the head man at Florida, knows how crappy life can be when there's an angry, vocal segment of fans calling for your job. And there certainly are plenty of Tennessee fans ready to see Jones' dismissal from Rocky Top.
The topic might come up in conversation when Muschamp and Jones greet one another before the game on Saturday in Knoxville.
"I mean, you just wish them luck, yeah good luck," Muschamp said. "Not against us. I hope you play and coach really good, except against the Gamecocks."
For a coach, it's not too difficult to avoid the outside noise. It's a different story for players.
"You're not going to be able to shut off Twitter and limit or stop that negativity. That's not going to stop," Muschamp said. "I think, as a coach, you're somewhat in a bunker mentality."
Unfortunately, for Jones & Co., there's been more than a week for folks in Knoxville to marinate on the embarrassing 41-0 loss to Georgia.
"There's a lot going on that you don't know about, during the season," Muschamp said, "And you just continue to work. You keep your head down and control the control-able and just keep working."
The post South Carolina-Tennessee football: Time, TV channel, watch online for Week 7 (October 14, 2017) appeared first on SEC Country.

A discussion on the pros and cons of using standardized questions on engagement surveys vs. customized questions based on an organization's own culture
Angela Sinickas is a widely-published author. She has written a university textbook, book chapters, white papers, and regular columns for Melcrum's Strategic Communication Management, Best Practice Measurement, and Total Communications Measurement, as well as IABC's Communication World and many others.
Meaningful Measurement without Huge Investment
Some simple ways to meaningfully measure communication without devoting too much time or money.
Measuring the engagement "sweet spot"
There seems to be little overlap in how engagement is measured for employees and how leadership experts describe engaged leaders. This article proposes integrating leadership engagement concepts into employee engagement research.
The impact of dialogue vs. briefing
We all know that two-way communication is better than one-way, but why is that the case and how exactly does it make a difference? Angela Sinickas mines her survey database to find those differences and some answers.
Matching audit tools to the information you need
How to carry out a communication audit depending on your organization's need and budget, starting with observational metrics before qualitative and quantitative research.
Comparing Internal and External Research
Mirroring similar questions on surveys for employees and customers can provide highly actionable insights that lead to corrective actions
Don't Let Face to Face Be Eclipsed by Technology
Over the last 15 years, more and more employees have obtained online access to internal communication such as email, intranets, webcasts, and Web 2.0 social media. Is this a good thing? Perhaps not entirely, as Angela Sinickas discovered by comparing communication survey results from companies where all employees are online vs. those where numbers of employees do not.
Employees Prefer Intranets to Supervisors 2 to 1
In 1992 and 2004, Angela Sinickas wrote articles refuting the common misperceptionbased on well publicized but highly flawed research designthat supervisors are employees' preferred source of information on all business topics. A look at her survey database showing results for the last five years shows that supervisors are now a distant third choice behind intranets and publications.

text: Here's a Blondie song you may not have heard on the radio. Because deep cuts from 2003 don't come up through the cracks very often, not when you can keep playing the old hits. Anyhow, I thought The Curse of Blondie was a pretty great album (especially for a band that had been in and out of hiatus for nearly 20 years.) But it was definitely a weird one, thematically at least. The band was meditating on things not usually found on a pop album; aging, death, the squicky metaphysical implications of May-December romance, and the idea of reincarnation, which some people apparently find romantic.

I greatly enjoyed the way the story was written, the way it narrated a less known woman who had an intriguing past. And well, the scandal she is known for is the main plot of the novel. Nothing else.
Such as how the story narrates the tale of Anita, and the fact that she was eventually found out to be a black student. When Vassar by no means allowed them to be enrolled in the college, and the fact that Anita did something unfathomable.
But overall, the way she was portrayed as sympatthetic, and incredibly intelligent. And what will lead her to be found out. I enjoyed how the plot worked, and nonetheless liked how Anita was. She had her head in the right place for most of the time, and it proved itself here.
Such as the way that she always wanted to graduate, and some decisions were hard on her. I enjoyed how the story was, slowly letting Anita go before showing the real plot.
Somehow, it worked here to give a really heartwrenching tale. Such as how Anita dealt with the aftermath, and eventually moved on with her life.
She is mostly someone who reacts to the situation, dealing with it in a way that showed her strength. Moving on and working from there. Rather than letting it clog up her life.
I really like Lottie, until of course it revealed itself. The way that she was shown to have been different, and yet what really was underneath.
Overall, I was intrigued and entertained. That this is something that needs to be said, however I do agree that the story could have been better on some accounts, and that it has a passive main character. But here it works, it is necessary for an unfortunate situation.

Living Room Decor
Couch: Bernhardt (Similar) / Rug: Wayfair / Coffee Table: West Elm / Chairs: West Elm / Pillows : West Elm / Artwork: West Elm / Fiddle Fig: Wayfair / Bar Cart: Anthropologie / Wine Rack: Crate & Barrel
Finally sharing my living room decor. As you can probably see I took these photos a few months back and finally just getting to be able to edit and post them!
My first time moving out was in college, and it felt so nice to be able to decorate how I wanted and express myself. Well, fast forward to moving back home, getting married and then moving out for the first time with my husband, Kurt. We had to start fresh and I had to make sure I was choosing decor to match the both of us.
I chose to go with gray and navy tones since I think they compliment each other well and still keeps the room looking clean and fresh.
I will admit I did get the first time moving out high- where you want to buy everything and get it styled and assembled in a month. Why is it that furniture takes so long to order? In retrospect, I should have waited taken the time and really buy pieces that I love and can transition/last a while. Don't get me wrong I love my living room, as I spend a ton of time there, and love the way I styled it, but as you know style changes as you get older! LOL, I don't want to admit that, but its the truth.
Also, we moved a few months back and everything doesn't fit and match perfectly, but I am taking my time to really re-do the living room and keep these pieces, but transition them into different parts of the home. You will have to stay tuned for that!
