Texas Tech Medcast Reynolds Geriatrics Step2CK Prep Series: No. 41 (Kaplan USMLE Step 2CK Qbook, 2005)--Help--I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up!--But Why?
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine
The Step2CK Test Prep Series was created by fourth-year students at the Texas Tech School of Medicine in Lubbock as a project of the fourth-year geriatrics rotation. It was developed as part of the Reynolds Geriatrics Podcast series, which is supported in part by an Aging and Quality of Life grant from the D.W. Reynolds Foundation. The episodes in this series are based on questions that have geriatrics content and patient vignettes from the 2008 Step2CK Sample Exam, available from http://www.ttuhsc.edu/som/fammed/ttmedcast/gerseri.... For more information on the series, go to http://www.ttuhsc.edu/som/fammed/ttmedcast/gerseri....
This episode is based on Question 41 on page 82 of the 2005 Kaplan Step2CK QBook.
Learning Objectives: the third-year medical student studying for the Step2CK exam should be able to:
- Identify the importance of adverse drug effects on the geriatric population including reasons for variable drug effects, common drugs to avoid and the significance of the Beers list of inappropriate pharmacologic interventions
- Emphasize the types of musculoskeletal deficits in Parkinson's Disease as well as common presentations
- Discuss the cause, symptoms, and management of postural hypotension
- Identify symptoms associated with ischemia in the internal carotid distribution and differentiate them from ischemia in other areas of cerebral circulation.

League History
The League was formed following an amalgamation of the South Western Football League and the Devon County Football League in June 2007, having been in the planning stages for several years prior to that.
The initial constitution saw 51 clubs of which 20 came from the Devon County League, 18 from the South Western League, 3 clubs each from the Cornwall Combination League, Devon & Exeter League, East Cornwall Premier League & South Devon League and 1 club from the Western League. These clubs were placed in 1 of 3 divisions : Premier Division : Clubs from throughout Devon & Cornwall and placed at Step 6 of the National League System, Division 1 East : Clubs all from Devon and placed at Step 7 of the National League System and Division 1 West : Clubs of which the majority come from Cornwall and the others from West Devon and again placed at Step 7 of the National League System.
At the end of each season 1 club can be promoted from the Premier Division to the Western League Premier (Step 5), the bottom 2 clubs can be relegated to Division 1 East & West and 1 club from each of Division 1 East & West can be promoted to the Premier Division. The bottom side two sides in each of the Division 1's can be relegated to 1 of 6 feeder leagues beneath the league, each of whose member clubs can apply for promotion to the league.
In addition the league runs a knock-out Cup Competition that involves all member clubs with the first & second rounds played on a regional basis before the last 16 clubs compete over the whole 2 county area.
The league is a Limited Company (Number 06255952) and is run by a 12 man board of directors who meet regularly to govern the league. Half the board are Officers and the other half are elected club representatives. In addition we are affiliated to the Football Association in London and are both a "National League System" member and a "Supply League" for the purpose of Referee development and promotion.
The first season saw Bodmin Town crowned as both Premier Champions and Throgmorton Cup Winners with Wadebridge Town winning Division 1 West and Budleigh Salterton lifting the Division 1 East title. In the summer of 2008 the league took in an additional 5 clubs to allow a Premier Division of 20 clubs and 2 division ones of 18 clubs each. 2009 saw Bodmin Town retain both the league title and the league Cup with Division 1 East being won by Exeter Civil Service and Division 1 West by Penzance. 2010 saw the first Devon based club become league Champions with Buckland Athletic winning the title. They also completed the "double" by winning the Throgmorton Cup. East and West were both won by clubs who had joined the league since its inception with Royal Marines winning in East and Perranporth in West.
2011 saw Buckland Athletic retain the Premier crown but the Throgmorton Cup was, for the 1st time, not won as a league & cup "double" with Plymouth Parkway lifting the Cup. East was won by Liverton United whilst West was won by Camelford, for the 2nd year running both Step 7 Champions were clubs who had joined the league as new clubs rather than members of the two former leagues. 2012 saw Bodmin Town win all before them as they won the Premier Division title for a 3rd time, they also won both the Throgmorton & County Cups to complete a treble. Liverton United retained the East title but this time took promotion to the Premier and Newquay won the West and also took the step up. This season also saw the first club move up through the FA Pyramid with Buckland Athletic taking promotion to the Western League Premier Division.
In 2015 the league cup was renamed the Walter C Parson Funeral Directors Cup after the undertakers signed an initial 4 year sponsorship which has since been extended to at least 2020, the first Cup winners were Godolphin Atlantic.
Many clubs enter the FA Cup and FA Vase, with the league having some success especially in the Vase where Torpoint Athletic have reached the last 8 and in 2015 St Austell played in the semi finals.
The League is greatful to its sponsors and in particular it thanks :
CARLSBERG : Main Sponsors
WALTER C PARSON FUNERAL DIRECTORS : Cup Sponsors
MACRON : Official Suppliers of Balls and Team Wear.
PETER WORDEN : Golden Boot Sponsors
CARL THROGMORTON : Respect Award Sponsors

Australian Visa information for Japanese nationals in Australia
The Australian Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Chris Bowen, offered reassurance to Japanese nationals in Australia affected by the Japan earthquake and tsunami that visa assistance was available if required.
"I strongly encourage all Japanese nationals in Australia who are unable to fly home or are on temporary visas to contact the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) as soon as possible, either online or by telephone," Mr Bowen said.
The Australia Immigration Department will take the circumstances in Japan into account when dealing with requests for Australia visa extensions and will consider, on a case by case basis, the options for Japanese in Australia whose visas to remain here are about to run out.
Australian citizens in Japan should contact the Australia Immigration Department immediately if they wish to travel to Australia with their children if those children are not Australian citizens.
"Australian citizen parents located in Japan who have children born overseas who have not applied for, or been approved for, Australian citizenship by descent should contact DIAC to discuss the most appropriate way for their children to travel to Australia,' Mr Bowen said.
The department will also look at extending the validity of time-limited requirements for visa applicants located in Japan if the assessment of an application has been delayed by events there.
In view of the disaster in Japan, the Australian Embassy immigration staff in Tokyo will work throughout the weekend to address urgent migration issues.
The Australian Visa Bureau is an independent consulting company specialising in helping people lodge their Australia Visa application with the Australian Embassy.

The Students for Community Safety Program (SCS) oversees the Residential Security Program, the Student Safety Marshal Escort Program, and two shuttle escort services: Shuttle-U-Home and Shuttle 44.
Residential Security Program
The primary responsibility of the RSA is to monitor and control access to residence halls by checking the identification of all persons entering the residence halls, and signing in visitors and guests who are escorted by a hall resident. RSAs control access to the halls, ensuring that only residents and staff are permitted access to the hall during restricted hours.
RSAs serve as the eyes and ears of the Department of Public Safety while working, and are responsible for documenting and reporting all incidents they observe while in the hall during their shifts. RSA's are equipped with direct radio communications to contact our central Dispatch center whenever necessary. SCS program supervisors and student supervisors, as well as regular DPS officers on patrol then address any needs that arise at the residence halls.
In addition to SCS staff and DPS officers, students who reside in residence halls are vital to the successful operation of the RSP. As members of our community, student residents are DPS's eyes and ears in recognizing and reporting suspicious, illegal, or unauthorized activity in residence halls.
Five professional DPS staff members supervise a staff of almost 300 student and non-student employees. The program operates out of Watson Hall and can be reached at 315.443.3202.

5th Sunday in Easter 2018 (Cycle B)
April 29, 2018
Acts of the Apostles 9:26-31
1 John 3:18-24
John 15:1-8
How many of us have ever said to someone we know, 'Wow, what a change I see in you!! What happened, what made you change?' What kind of reply did they give you? Was it something dramatic that happened in their life? Was it something that had been working on them for a long period of time and they finally decided to make the change? Or was there something else that made them change their life? Sometimes they may never know what it was that made a change in their life.
Our first reading from Acts features someone who had a very dramatic change in their life, but the way our scriptures are laid out, we never read about that change in our Sunday readings. We are talking about the individual named Saul who was a Pharisee, a highly educated individual who followed the law very strictly. The only time we read about Saul's conversion is when we read from the daily lectionary.
I believe it is significant enough for us to comment on it so that we can have a fuller understanding of the reading from Acts we have today.
As we have learned already, Acts of the Apostles is Luke's version of how the early church began and continued to grow. Many of the early disciples played a major role of teaching the people and preaching in the name of Jesus. Some of those early leaders were individuals who had been picked to be deacons, servants to the people. Their initial role was to help with the distribution of food for the poor and widows. Stephen was one such individual, but he was also called to preach as well, At the end of chapter 7, Stephen has angered the people so much that they began to stone him. Luke writes that as Stephen is dying he asks Jesus to forgive them. One individual there encouraging Stephen's stoning was Saul. In the early verses of chapter 8 Luke says the people scattered as the persecution of the church in Jerusalem began. Saul saw this as his opportunity to make the people follow the law and he had many people arrested and thrown in jail for not following the law.
In the opening verses of chapter 9 Saul goes to the high priest to ask for letters to the synagogues in Damascus allowing him to arrest anyone following the new way and to bring them back to Jerusalem. Having received the letters, he begins his journey, but it is along the way to Damascus that his dramatic conversion takes place. Luke writes that a light flashed in the sky all around him and that he falls to the ground. He then hears a voice saying to him "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
The voice he hears identifies himself as Jesus. Jesus tells him to continue on his journey to the city where he will be told what he is to do. Blinded by the light, he has his companions take him to the city.
In Damascus there is a disciple called Ananias whom the Lord tells to go to the house of Judas and ask for Saul of Tarsus. Ananias protests until the Lord tells him that He has chosen Saul to bring the Good News to the Gentiles and that Saul would suffer for his obedience. Ananias prays over Saul and the scales fall away from his eyes allowing him to "see" (understand) once again.
Saul, now healed goes about the city preaching Jesus as the Son of God. The people have a hard time believing because of his reputation for persecution of the followers of Jesus. He finally silences the Jewish leaders with his preaching and proofs that Jesus is the Son of God.
At that point many people began to conspire against him and were planning to put him to death. His followers aware of the plot against him snuck him out of the city by lowering him to the ground form the city walls with ropes.
Saul leaves for Jerusalem where he is greeted with much skeptics who did not believe he had converted, even the disciples did not believe at first. This is where our reading begins today, when Paul tries to join the disciples. Finally, Barnabas takes him under his wing and later becomes his traveling companion.
Barnabas reports to the disciples all Paul had done and preached about in Damascus, preaching in the name of Jesus. As he begins to do the same in Jerusalem, the people there, especially the Hellenists, begin to plot against him and attempt to kill him. He is once again helped to leave town and go to his home town of Tarsus.
The reading from 1 John today talks about love, truth, believing and obedience, all critical themes that Jesus continued to preach and teach about. John weaves them together showing that by loving in deed and truth lead us to God, allow us to follow the commandments, believe in the name of His son, Jesus and to love one another.
The gospel reading from John and our second reading have a very significant theme of remaining. We know that Jesus will remain in us when we keep the commandments, and that we remain in Him even as he prunes us, corrects us.
Every good gardener understands the significance of pruning their trees, plans, bushes. Without that pruning, what ever we are growing will begin to grow wild and not show forth with fruit or flowers.
Jesus tells His disciples that He is the vine and His Father is the vine grower. He continues to say that those branches that do not produce fruit will be pruned to make way for new growth that will grow fruit.
One thing that we need to continue to remind ourselves is that Jesus was sent to the Jews first and that it was after they basically rejected Him did His mission change by telling His disciples they were to go out to the Gentiles in the world to convert them. We are those Gentiles and we have been grafted on to the original root, the Jews, and we are to be pruned just like they were.
When we don't follow the commandments, when we don't love as Jesus told us to, when we don't believe in the only Son of God, Jesus, then we are the ones going to be pruned.
But when we remain in Him, we will produce much fruit. When we remain in Him and His words remain in us, then we glorify the Lord and be His true disciples.

May 24, 2017
"I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job… I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off…"
– Quote comes from a document that summarized a meeting between Trump and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the Oval Office, one day after firing Former FBI Director James Comey.
Last week, several advancements in the Trump Administration occurred, including the firing of former FBI Director James Comey, the Robert Mueller special counsel appointment to investigate Russian ties, as well as continued steps on the Trump tax plan. With these developments in mind, many are curious about opinions and implications surrounding these issues.
This week's newsletter delves into the various opinions that Americans have with regards to these issues and how this relates to our clients' crucial reputational concerns. Finally, the newsletter delves into the political situation of the country. The data presented below is intended to serve as a source of information on these topics and what to expect as these issues come to the forefront of the national international arena. Please send us your quotes about the hot issues of the day and your opinion might be published in the next Research Newsletter!
The latest Economist/YouGov Poll among 1,500 U.S. adults conducted from May 13th to 16th indicates that Robert Mueller's recent appointment to special counsel for the investigation into the ties between Trump's campaign and Russian officials is supported by most Americans.
If nothing else, Mueller's appointment as special counsel should quell what has been a constant drumbeat against President Trump, both self-inflicted and otherwise, over the last couple weeks. It should, theoretically, abate the selective and strategic leaking of information as well. Mueller takes over the FBI's counterintelligence investigation on what Trump refers to as "that Russian thing" that's been ongoing for almost a year. Subsequently, even a lightening fast conclusion from Mueller could still take months to complete.
Monmouth University released a poll among 1,002 adults in the U.S. (conducted from May 13-17) which revealed that Trump's attitude toward Russia poses a national security threat to the U.S. Over the course of poll fieldwork, results shifted dramatically, going from 43% from Saturday to Monday who felt Trump's approach to Russia poses a national security threat, to 52% who felt this way on Tuesday to Wednesday.
Again, Mueller's appointment should bring some order for some amount of time to a situation that's seen the White House having to put fires out; some of which they've set themselves. Ironically no one benefits more from Mueller's appointment than the President. At the same time, no one has more at risk than the President as well, but what amounts to a "high risk, high reward" appointment had to be welcomed news, to some degree, by the White House.
According to the latest Economist/YouGov Poll among 1,500 U.S. adults, over one-quarter view Russia as an enemy to the United States. Due to recent news and the firing of Comey, 54% of Americans believe it is true that Russia hacked Democrats' emails in order to increase the chance of Donald Trump winning the Presidential election.
Recent polls show mounting skepticism among American Adults, across party divides, towards Russia and the nation's role in the November, 2016 Presidential election. Given this air of uncertainty, Americans were hopeful for an appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate ties between Trump's campaign and Russian officials. It will be important for next steps in this investigation to be handled carefully and to deliver a verdict that relieves concerns.
A recent Quinnipiac University survey among 1,078 voters nationwide with a margin of error of +/-3 percentage points indicates that voters are weary of tax reform, particularly sensitive to the impact it may have on the national deficit.
With most, across party lines, weary of tax reform and the impact it may have on the national deficit, this issue will certainly result in a fierce debate as Trump progresses with his tax plan. Much of the tension in Congress stems from a fundamental goal of achieving tax reform vs. tax cuts and the President will need all the political capital he can muster to get this across the finish line and on his desk. All the while, the clock indicating the midterm elections is pounding out the minutes that not only the plan is implemented, but implemented in such time for Trump/GOPers to have something to illustrate to voters.
This section explores the general view that the nation has of President Trump and the direction of the country. The data below reflects the average of the data presented in a variety of publicly released polls, thereby controlling for partisan biases that can emerge in publicly released surveys.
The RealClearPolitics average shows a dip in the mood of the country. Since early May, those who believe the country is on the "wrong track" has increased 2%.
The RealClearPolitics average shows a sizeable dip in Trump's approval rating, down by 3% since the last newsletter in early May.

Good Bye 2014
As 2014 comes to an end I celebrate by upgrading my home server(s) operating systems. A few sites are hosted locally so those rare readers out there may notice things being offline occasionally. Heh, I really doubt anyone will notice. The goal is to get all Debian hosts to at least Wheezy (7.x).
I next need to figure out what to do with the 10.04 Ubuntu host but it's sort of piece of our main infrastructure at home so some planning is required.
So this is my final 2014 post 😎. Expect the same in 2015.

Background: Paroxysmal movements in the form of tonic spasms, dystonia, choreoathetosis and hemidyskinesia have been reported in patient with multiple sclerosis (MS). Intracranial hypertension with headache and papilledema resembling idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) exceptionally occurs in patient with MS. Conversely, IIH may rarely present as movement disorder in children.
Aims of the study: Report an unusual patient with MS and intracranial hypertension anteceded by movement disorder.
Methods: Clinical examinations and ancillary diagnostic testing.
Results: A 54 year old patient presented one year earlier to her diagnosis of MS with symptoms of paroxysmal kinesigenic diskinesia (PKD). Her initial neurologic examination and brain MRI were normal. A year later her examination became abnormal and her MRI showed demyelination. Her cerebrospinal fluid contained oligoclonal bands and the opening pressure was markedly elevated, in the absence of headache and papilledema.
Conclusion: PKD may antecede MS and acephalgic intracranial hypertension without papilledema in exceptional patients.

Drug development for neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis and traumatic brain injury is challenging. One promising strategy is to target a molecule with multiple biological actions affecting divergent pathophysiological disease phases simultaneously since these diseases arise from multiple pathological phases. In recent years, we pursued this strategy with a focus on multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury and found that repulsive guidance molecule-a (RGMa) inhibits regeneration of injured CNS axons following spinal cord injury. We also found that RGMa enhances CD4(+) T cell activation facilitating CNS demyelination in an animal model of MS, mouse experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), which supports the idea that RGMa has distinct pathological actions. The multiple functions of RGMa in the CNS and the immune system would provide a therapeutic opportunity to concurrently block the autoimmune reactions and axon injury in neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases. In this article, we introduce the therapeutic potential of targeting RGMa as a novel intervention for MS and spinal cord injury.

Previous data show conflicting results regarding the association between MS and prior brain trauma. This study aims to investigate the risk for MS following a traumatic brain injury (TBI) using a population-based dataset. This study used data from the National Health Insurance Research Database. In total, 72,765 patients with TBI were included as the study cohort, and 218,295 randomly selected subjects were matched with the study cohort by sex and age as controls. We traced each patient individually for a six-year period from their index health care utilization to identify those who received a subsequent diagnosis of MS. We used the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test to compare the difference in six-year MS-free survival rates between the two groups. Stratified Cox proportional hazard regressions were computed to compare the risk of developing MS for these two cohorts. The incidence rate of MS was 10.51 (95% CI: 7.60-14.16) per 100,000 person-years in patients with TBI and 6.63 (95% CI: 5.30-8.20) per 100,000 person-years in patients without TBI. After censoring cases who died from non-MS causes, stratifying for hospitalization of cases as a proxy for severity, and adjusting for monthly income and geographic region of the community in which the patient resided, the HR of MS for patients with hospital-treated TBI injuries was 1.97 (95% CI=1.31-2.93, p<0.01) that of patients without TBI during the six-year follow-up period after index healthcare use. Our study concludes that patients with TBI are at higher risk for subsequent MS over a six-year follow-up period.

BACKGROUND: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominantly inherited syndrome. Renal disease is the main cause of death. Brain disorders are the origin of more frequent and severe problems, such as tumors, epilepsy, and mental retardation. Participation of neurosurgeons in the study and especially in the treatment of TSC patients is often required.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two types of pathological conditions mainly require neurosurgical interventions in TSC: subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SGCA) and cortical tubers. SGCA are located in the cerebral region close to the foramina of Monroe, uni- or bilaterally, and originate in hamartomas that can grow slowly as well as rapidly, even suddenly, especially in cases with intratumoral cyst, causing increased intracranial pressure (ICP) with severe risk for visual loss and life. Neurosurgeons have to participate in the follow-up of the patients as soon as the risk of ICP exists to remove the tumor when the criteria of SGCA growth are present. The other intracranial lesions that require neurosurgical intervention by are the cortical tubers.
CONCLUSION: These dysplastic lesions are associated with TSC in almost the 100% of affected persons and are the cause of epilepsy in most patients. The seizures can be resistant to antiepileptic medication in many cases in which a tuber is identified as the origin of the focal seizures after functional studies, such as EEG, MR, PET, etc. In these cases, only surgical removal of the tuber and the perituberal epileptogenic foci can cure the epilepsy. Large tubers are more epileptogenic than smaller ones.

PURPOSE: We evaluated data from a large cohort of newly diagnosed epilepsy patients from the biggest epilepsy center in West China. The aim was to determine the most prevalent etiologic factors in this region.
METHODS: From May 2008 to May 2010, the clinical data of patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy were consecutively, systematically and prospectively recorded in a database. The data were analyzed according to sex, age, seizure type, etiology, and other factors.
RESULTS: The present study examined 892 patients with newly diagnosed epilepsy. Among these patients, 346 (38.8%) were confirmed as symptomatic, with the largest constituent ratio among the elderly (63.2%). In this symptomatic group, central nervous system (CNS) infections and traumatic brain injuries (TBI) were the two most common etiologies. When analyzed according to age bracket, cortical dysplasia, mesial temporal sclerosis, and CNS infection were the most frequent causes among young patients (<18 years). On the other hand, CNS infection and TBI were the two most common causes in patients between 18 and 60 years. Stroke was the most common cause of newly diagnosed symptomatic epilepsy in the elderly (>60 years).
CONCLUSIONS: More than 30% of newly diagnosed epilepsy cases were shown to be symptomatic by medical history as well as careful clinical and laboratory examination. Detailed epilepsy assessments are essential to formulate a therapeutic plan and to improve prognosis. The etiology spectrum found in this large cohort forms a comparative baseline for future studies.

UPRIGHT Multi-Position MR scanning has uncovered a key set of new observations regarding Multiple Sclerosis (MS), which observations are likely to provide a new understanding of the origin of MS. The new findings may also lead to new forms of treatment for MS. The UPRIGHT MRI has demonstrated pronounced anatomic pathology of the cervical spine in five of the MS patients studied and definitive cervical pathology in the other three. The pathology was the result of prior head and neck trauma. All eight MS patients entered the study on a first come first serve basis without priority, and all but one were found to have a history of serious prior cervical trauma which resulted in significant cervical pathology. The cervical pathology was visualized by UPRIGHT MRI. Upright cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cinematography and quantitative measurements of CSF velocity, CSF flow and CSF pressure gradients in the upright patient revealed that significant obstructions to CSF flow were present in all MS patients. The obstructions are believed to be responsible for CSF "leakages" of CSF from the ventricles into the surrounding brain parenchyma which "leakages" can be the source of the MS lesions in the brain that give rise to MS symptomatology. The CSF flow obstructions are believed to result in increases in intracranial pressure (ICP) that generate "leakages" of the CSF into the surrounding brain parenchyma. In all but one MS patient, anatomic pathologies were found to be more severe in the upright position than in the recumbent position. Similarly, CSF flow abnormalities were found to be more severe in the upright position than in the recumbent position in all but one MS patient. Images of the MS patient anatomic pathologies and CSF flow abnormalities are provided with comparison images from normal examinees in Figures 1-15.

So last week all the local children were on half term. That didn't make a lot of difference to us except that everywhere was so busy! We were supposed to meet up with a couple of other home ed families at Moors Valley but it was so busy the car park was full and we were turned away. Instead the children and I decided to go to Avon Heath Country Park, even that was heaving but we managed to park down the road and walk in. The older girls loved playing with other children in the woods and making dens while E and little S played in the park. We had a lovely picnic and then headed to the visitor centre which has been redone since my last visit and was amazing. The children got see animals skulls, a stuffed owl, a stag beetle and lots of other things. There were buttons to press to listen to different bird song, a camera that they could move to look through the woods and at the bee hive, and also computers and puzzles. We had a really great time and will definitely be returning when other children are at school and it's a little quieter.
We've also made a cardboard box castle, made a trampoline in the living room out of cushions and quilts, sown lots of seeds, been to the swing park, visited family and played with cousins, done maths and looked at the organs of the body. We spent a little time looking at space and the planets and with almost perfect timing both Mars and Venus were visible just below the moon one evening. We even got see Orion and the Big Dipper, the children would now like to take a closer look at the constellations.
I've come to the conclusion that any calories I may have burned off with all the extra running around I'm doing will be gained with all the cakes the children keep baking. R made a particularly nice ginger cake yesterday, S made some Peppa Pig cupcakes Monday and E wants to make a lemon cake. I'm hopeful that I can get them cooking more savoury foods before long.
Today we went to home ed club, which was all Dr Seuss themed. The children made Cat in the Hat cakes and played with Gloopey Gloop. They did knitting, played Minecraft on the Xbox, ran around (a lot) climbed trees, played cars and Duplo, did lots of socialising with children from 5 months to 14 years old and all this before lunch. Then it was home for a while before dinner and swimming lessons. S is 97% through stage 1 so should complete that next week and R's front crawl is improving, her backstroke is magnificent and she is learning to dive.

Irv will have a big team helping him once he gets home. Hamilton Heart Efficiency Clinic, Nursing Home care, physio and occupational therapists, personal Support Workers, three local drs and me of course.
His meds are now constantly being reviewed and adjusted so it's important his vital signs are monitored daily even when Home.
Just before he left the hospital they changed his diet and he said the hospital food went from being "ok" to Very bland. Although Irv did say that Norfolk General has better food generally than Hamilton General.
Although the above lunch of salt free and low fat Mac n cheese didn't impress him. Lol
Biggest issue for Irv is the continued fluid restriction. Total fluid intake per 24 hr period is 1.5 litres. Sounds like a lot but when you add all liquids together it doesn't leave a lot of room for even a can of soda. (355 ml). So he is constantly dry and thirsty. That lunch above has a 125ml carton of milk (half a cup) and broth in the cup was another 125ml.
He has droppped in weight over the last 6 weeks by 10lbs. Mostly liquids being drained out but some because he isn't eating much.
Now that he's home, I am sure he will enjoy some home cooking. Lol
Anyway that's all my news for today. We don't do much else these days. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and kind thoughts. They are much appreciated.
Have a good day everybody!
Thanks for visiting today!

Ronimo Games, probably best known for their 2009 WiiWare title Swords & Soldiers and dtp entertainment, developers of Summer Challenge – Athletics Tournament and Winter Sports 2011 – Go for Gold for Playstation 3, are teaming up to bring XBLA and PSN users Awesomenauts. The game will apparently be a "Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA)" game, a term I hope catches on. I guess that means it will play like Smash Bros.? One thing is for sure, it will be full of awesome.

The Packers announced they have made a change to their practice squad by signing center Garth Gerhart and releasing Reggie Dunn.
Gerhart, a 6-foot-1, 310-pound first-year player out of Arizona State, was on Green Bay's practice squad for the final week of the 2012 postseason and remained with the Packers until being released in the final roster reduction at the conclusion of the preseason.

This page was a little bit tricky. I wish I would have taken a photo before I fixed it up so you could have seen it. I had all the purple and orange drips you can still see but for some unknown reason the page also had LOTS of black and dark gray sections. It was very morose and Halloween-esque.
So I used my palette knife and smeared gesso over the worst sections - you can see some of the dark grey stars showing through on the lower right hand page - and then once it dried I glued a paper doily (right edge) over the splotch. It was VERY white so I rubbed red and teal pan pastel over it to bring out the texture and knock down the color a bit.
Much brighter. Much better :-)

Introduction to DM Orthotics
DM Orthotics design and manufacture dynamic elastomeric fabric orthoses which are used for the management of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, MS, Stroke and Scoliosis.
Each product is individually prescribed to the specific needs of the patient. We combine the latest CADCAM technology with traditional tailoring techniques to ensure each product matches the exact measurements provided to us.
How it works
Our orthoses use strategically placed panelling which apply translation forces to position the body into improved postural alignment. This new biomechanical state combined with enhanced proprioception, stimulates and adjusts the neuro-sensory system, training muscles to work with improved tone, strength and performance.
Dynamic Movement Orthoses use elastomeric fabric which is soft, flexible and strong. The benefits of this material hold many benefits over rigid bracing, such as:
Dynamic Movement Orthoses offer a number of physical benefits to the user including:
All these benefits work towards a single goal – to improve function and encourage independence for the user.

Hints for Fall Weddings
When it comes to fall weddings you can be sure that you will have a wonderful one as the nature will help you with the details and it will provide you the symbolism all weddings require. Our target today is to give you some hints about the way in which you can make full use of the season and have an astonishing wedding.
The first very important thing to settle is the location of the event. If you plan on having it in a small church somewhere in the woods or in a park you could benefit from the advantage of the natural fall atmosphere.
The wedding reception location must follow the same tone, so, the most recommended thing to do in such circumstances is to host the party in the open air, but – just a measure of precaution – have some tents arranged too, should the weather suffer a dramatic, sudden change.
Now, let us talk a little about the details. I believe you are well aware of the fact that you must incorporate some fall elements in the invitations, the wedding favors or maybe even the bridal dress, if you are brave enough. And if you are not, then maybe you can talk to your bridesmaids and convince them to wear some fall inspired dresses. In any case, decide upon the exact details in advance, so that you will not end up with an overcrowded décor.
You should make full use of all the elements that the fall season offers. For instance, you can realize a centerpiece by using seasonal flowers, dry leaves, twigs and the like. Bowls with chestnuts, tree cones and apricots (or peaches) seeds are also a good idea for decorations. Also, as wedding favors you could opt for small satin bags filled with dried fruits.
In this way, apart from the amazing pieces of décor and the beautiful colors, you also add the taste of fall by preparing some fall delicacies. Pumpkins and chestnuts can be used to delight your guests, as well.
Speaking of the pumpkin; it represents fall better than any other element and it would be great if you just got your bridesmaids to wear dresses (or at least shoes) that bear the orange color. Of course, for a more colorful effect the dresses can be different shades of orange. You can even play around a little with the colors of your accessories as fall is a very generous theme.

Automotive Opportunities Present New Challenges for IC VerificationThursday, September 25th, 2014
By Matthew Hogan, Mentor Graphics
The automotive electronic landscape is changing. Some of the changes are being driven by an increase in the number of safety and critical systems controlled by electronic control units (ECUs) [1], while others are from the explosion in in-vehicle infotainment systems. Back in 2009, it was estimated that even low-end cars had 30-50 ECUs [2], driving not only the complexity of the underlying hardware platform, but also that of the software used to control complex user interactions.
Some plans aimed at improving safety require complex systems to interact not only within a single vehicle, but also in concert with the surrounding traffic. One such system is the upcoming proposal (requirement?) of the US Department of Transport (DOT) to mandate vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications [3] [4]. Many positioning pieces have been written on this topic, both for and against [5] [6] [7], expressing not only privacy concerns, but also technical challenges on product feasibility and implementation within such a short time. A number of established automotive partners have already begun research in this area [8] [9], working in tandem with the US government.
A common theme for these safety systems involves increasingly complex integrated circuits (ICs) and the need for exceptional reliability. While in-vehicle infotainment systems need high-reliability IC designs as well, out-of-specification performance for these ICs results in customer inconvenience (sometimes significant), but not the degree of concern felt if an air-bag controller, brake sensor, or other critical operational IC should fail. The harsh environment present in automotive electronics [10], combined with the high reliability expectations required for verification of these ICs [11], provides additional design and verification challenges that may not be of concern when designing and developing ICs used in gentler or less demanding scenarios. One common example where reliability in electrical overstress (EOS) environments plays an important role is protection and verification against time-dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB) in interconnects (often called voltage-aware DRC [12]), or providing additional protection in the form of guard rings around devices to prevent possible latch-up scenarios. Both types of issues require larger design areas to avoid failure, but both are critical to mitigate in high reliability IC designs.
Understanding the reliability needs of these ICs can be challenging, particularly for companies just entering this market. Presently, the automotive market seems very attractive, with high growth and IC requirements for multiple new application areas. Questions on which electrostatic discharge (ESD) or EOS compliance standards need to be met are often answered in standards documents. What's not exposed are the challenges, design trade-offs, and best practices used to achieve these standards. Speaking for myself, I have found that interactions with individuals who are experienced in these fields provide the greatest insight on many of these topics. IEEE conferences are one place where these experts congregate; another, somewhat less-tapped resource is that of "workshops." These are often smaller events with a narrowly focused topic field. Two such upcoming workshops include the International Integrated Reliability Workshop (IIRW) [13] and the International Electrostatic Discharge Workshop (IEW) [14] [15]. The latter deals with more than just ESD (as its name might imply), including EOS and other issues ranging from IC design, test, and implementation all the way from the device to the entire system. Full disclosure, I am the general chair of the upcoming 2015 IEW event.
This is a time of incredible change in the systems and number of ICs used in our automotive vehicles. New players entering the marketplace, together with new expectations of how cars are built and driven, present an exciting time for those involved in the design, development, and verification of the ICs used in these systems. Everything from driver safety aids to "driver-less" cars is being implemented and trialed. How fast will new capabilities emerge, and how quickly do you think we will progress? How do you see the adoption of these new systems going mainstream, given the complexity and reliability verification challenges you see ahead? It will certainly be an exhilarating and interesting time!

Google Doodle dedicated to Suffolk suffragist Millicent Fawcett
PUBLISHED: 12:29 11 June 2018 | UPDATED: 12:49 11 June 2018
A Suffolk campaigner who stood on the frontline of the women's suffrage movement has been highlighted on an international platform.
Aldeburgh-born suffragist Millicent Fawcett is the subject of today's Google Doodle to mark what would have been her 171st birthday.
The dedication is part of the company's celebrations of 100 years of women's votes.
In April, Dame Fawcett became the first woman to be honoured with a statue in Parliament Square, London.
Unlike the suffragettes, Dame Fawcett, who was a part of Suffolk's inspiring Garrett family, took a moderate line in her fight for equal rights.
Reacting to the Google Doodle, Eleanor Rehahn, coordinator for Fawcett Society Suffolk, said: "It's great, she's had quite a lot of celebration recently with the statue and it's right that she should because she was so influential in securing the vote for women in a more peaceful and perhaps less well-known way than the suffragettes did.
"It's really good to see her in the public eye and to keep reminding people that she's from Suffolk and what she did."
Helen Taylor, founder of Suffolk Feminist Society, said: "It's fantastic to see Millicent Fawcett celebrated by a Google doodle today, on her 171st birthday.
"That she came from Suffolk and made such a difference to women's rights is inspiring. Us modern day feminists can only hope to achieve such amazing progress. Trying to follow in her footsteps makes me proud to be from our county."

CEO SpotBy Chris O'Shea|April 19, 2013 ShareBy Chris O'Shea|April 19, 2013 Share AMI's top man — David Pecker — is being considered for the top spot at Time Inc. According to the New York Post, Jeff Bewkes has met with Pecker about becoming Time Inc.'s CEO when it spins off. Bewkes has indicated that he wants the new CEO in place before the summer.As you might expect, Time Inc. staffers aren't that excited about Pecker. He has kept AMI afloat for so many years through multiple, massive cuts, which won't exactly inspire confidence in him.One Time Inc. insider told the Post that if Pecker took the job, there would be plenty of people who would voluntarily depart the publishing house. The source added, "It would really rock the journalists in the company." We assume the person meant rock in the bad way, not the Slash way. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kisa7o copy Adweek Adweek

On Sunday, during an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, newly appointed White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci briefly spoke about the President's Twitter habits. As Scaramucci tried to shift the conversation to Trump's agenda — the things "he's super focused on" — Tapper interrupted: "But he's not tweeting about those things. He's tweeting about Russia and Hillary Clinton."
Scaramucci explained that it's "because he doesn't feel — he doesn't feel that he's being effectively defended in the mainstream media with the nonsensical narratives that are out there. And we're going to change that for him. We're going to — we're going to defend him very, very aggressively when there's nonsensical stuff being said about him. And he will probably dial back some of those tweets. That's the way it works."
There's some truth to Tapper's statement. In the 920 tweets posted on President Trump's twitter account between January 20 and July 7, 99 were about the Russia investigation. As we go forward, it will be interesting to see if, as Scaramucci suggested, Trump will "dial back some of those tweets."
Business Insider analyzed Trump's tweets that have been posted since he took office, from January 20 to July 7 2017, and pulled out the major themes. The Trump Twitter Archive aims to create as complete a database as possible of all of the tweets posted on the @realDonaldTrump Twitter account. Since January 27, 2017, the database has maintained a real-time collection of them, meaning even tweets that were later deleted (such as the "covfefe") are included in the database.
While these themes don't provide a comprehensive list of all the President's tweets, they give a good sense of some of the biggest topics in Trump's timeline. For example, Trump's favorite time of day to tweet is between 7:00 and 8:00 AM eastern, and his favorite topic is the media.
From the "FAKE NEWS", to the ongoing investigations of Russian interference in the election, to the GOP's attempts to overhaul the US healthcare system, here's what's been on the president's mind in the last five and a half months.
President Trump has tweeted 920 times between his inauguration on January 20 and July 7, making for an average of about 5.4 tweets per day.
This chart shows a timeline of how often the president has tweeted on each day since the inauguration. Each dot represents one tweet.
The president has been tweeting somewhat more often since the end of May, after a two-week period in the middle of that month when he was uncharacteristically quiet online.
On each of the following charts, we will take a closer look at when the president tweets and some of his favorite topics and themes, as determined by Business Insider's reading of the tweets' text.
One of Trump's favorite foils, both on the campaign trail and since taking office, has been the media. The tone of the president's tweets on the press tend to have a negative edge, and often include the epithet "FAKE NEWS," as in this January 28 tweet aimed at the New York Times:
Trump has also tweeted a whole lot about the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, with 99 tweets on the topic.
Another recurring target of the president's ire on Twitter is the ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the election and into any possible ties between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
Despite the intelligence community's near-unanimous assertions that Russia did in fact attempt to influence the outcome of the election, Trump frequently asserts that the investigation is merely a distraction by embarassed Democrats trying to shift blame for losing. An early example is this February 15 tweet, published a day after a New York Times report suggesting that members of the president's campaign had repeated contacts with Russian agents:
On May 8, former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates testified at a Senate Judiciary hearing about contacts between Trump campaign aide and former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and Russian Ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak.
Trump, as we will see again later, was more concerned with information leaks than possible collusion with Russia:
The day he fired the FBI director was a fairly quiet day for the president's Twitter account, with only three tweets published. Trump did, in a theme that he would repeat over the following days, suggest that Democrats, who had previously criticized Comey for his handling of the Clinton email investigation, were hypocrites for speaking out against the director's firing:
Overlapping with the Russia investigation is the president's concern about leaks and surveillance. On February 15, the day after the New York Times report on Trump campaign aides having contact with Russian agents, the president tweeted:
Healthcare and the Republican push to repeal and replace Obamacare are another frequent topic, with 98 tweets.
One of the core promises of the Trump campaign and of the Republican Party more broadly over the last four election cycles was to repeal and replace Obamacare. There are three main clusters of Trump tweets that pertain to healthcare, going along with big congressional pushes.
The first came in mid-to-late March, during the House's first, ultimately failed, attempt to pass the American Healthcare Act. The second was in late April and early May, when the bill successfully passed the House, and the third has coincided with the recent push to pass a bill through the Senate.
Many of Trump's tweets on healthcare decry the current law:
On the foreign policy side, President Trump often tweets about phone calls and visits from foreign leaders, and his two overseas trips so far have led to several tweets about foreign policy. Between his inauguration and July 7, Trump tweeted 83 times about his interactions with foreign leaders.
The tone of tweets about talking to foreign leaders tends to be fairly cordial:
Of course, this is not a comprehensive description of all of the president's tweets. Further, several tweets fall into more than one category. For example, this tweet, referring to a retracted CNN story about an alleged meeting between Trump supporter Anthony Scaramucci and representatives of a Russian bank, is included in both the media and Russia investigation categories:
In the early months of his presidency, as during the campaign, most of Trump's tweets came from an Android phone. By mid-March, nearly all tweets came from an iPhone.
Last August, data scientist David Robinson took a close look at the iPhone-Android tweet divide. He observed, through text analysis of the tweets, that the angrier, more inflammatory tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account tended to be posted from the Android Twitter app, while tweets from an iPhone were more neutral or positive.
A common interpretation of the differences in voice from the different devices was that Trump himself was tweeting from his own personal Android device, while campaign staff were posting from one or more iPhones.
That divide held true for the first two months of Trump's presidency. Trump's more aggressive tweets came from an Android device:
A handful of President Trump's tweets have come from other platforms, like the Twitter Web Client, Twitter Ads, and Media Studio.
These tend to be fairly neutral statements touting recent accomplishments or speeches, and generally include a video clip of an event or speech. For example, here's the president announcing a plan to reform the air traffic control system posted from Twitter Ads:
As the chart above shows, the Android device mostly vanishes in mid-March, with the final two tweets coming on March 25. The Atlantic, among others, speculated that Trump's personal Android device was too old to be properly secured, and that it was replaced around this time with an iPhone. Whatever happened, the tweets keep coming.
