[link=http://membres.lycos.fr/ouatzefeuk/xwing.jpg]X wing render[/link] X-wing mesh from scifi3d, by Mister-X, starbackground from.... don't remember. Just having fun rendering this mesh because I like it. Look great uh! Please notice I rendered it with GI, that's my personnal touch that makes it even cooler. it took me about 5 minutes (including rendering time), hard work. Edit= I forgot: I've unfolded the wings. Any constructive crits or comments are welcome. Now, Let's see how long it will take to Zoo to close this thread. Yeah I've got to much free time during holiday... I could work on Crunchy's meshes instead.
Very nice render, Dr Jones heres my best effort with it, done a few months ago now. This is still my favorite star wars mesh on the net. [link=http://www.btinternet.com/~peter.german/red.jpg] My Xwing Render[/link]
I think they both showcase the model very well. Yeah, this'll probably be locked, but it's good to know Dr.Jones is still alive. -Matt
Weird how we give the last guy who did this a bunch of crap for making the thread and then turn around and praise you. Still, nice render. GI makes it look dead sexy.
like them both too, only thing that bugs me about that model is that the nose looks fake, although the one with motion blur looks great!
this was an old render from a while ago, back when you did your Matrix/X-wing animation where the stars didn't move... I remember I got that it was a jab at someone who is being a Scrooge this Christmas season, but I didn't want to say anything.
Translation: Roughly Good! Do you have anything new to show us? (Ok, I guessed on the second part. I didn't do well in French class, that's why I had to switch to Spanish.) -Matt
You almost made it. The second part was ok, but actually "Bon alors" means "Well". Yeah that was a hard one New stuff... let me see... not really. I've got some [link=http://membres.lycos.fr/ouatzefeuk/colorbook/]2d stuffs[/link] but that's all. Those are just photoshop coloring. When the drawing isn't mine, I give credit at the bottom of the pic. "dessin de" means "art by" and then, the name of the guy. easy. So don't tell me: "Hey this is feng Zhu art" I already know that, and I noted it down. I've work on very few stuff on Max. Let me render some pic, and I'll post them Edit= here they are More work on Kyle Katarn [image=http://membres.lycos.fr/ouatzefeuk/wip/kylebody.jpg] Started the Moldy Crow, Should very very detailed [image=http://membres.lycos.fr/ouatzefeuk/wip/mc01.jpg] [image=http://membres.lycos.fr/ouatzefeuk/wip/mc02.jpg] and work on wolverine body. The head is just pasted here, no welding done yet [image=http://membres.lycos.fr/ouatzefeuk/wip/wolvbody.jpg]
Your illustration is good. Some stuff that could get you banned on these boards but good. Very sharp. You definately have established your own style at the very least. Katarn's looking good! Wolvering looks a little thin at the moment, but he's a WIP, right? -Matt

Mesoscale movements of small- and medium-sized fish in the Murray-Darling Basin
MDBA reports
Modern fisheries management is moving towards an ecosystem approach. The task of sustaining species of economic importance requires an understanding of the environmental needs of these fish and the prey species on which they depend. An aspect of the life cycle of many freshwater fish species is their need to move to different habitats to feed, breed or find refuge from desiccation.

Need a little helpI came across a speaker system while in an AAFES px in Iraq (it may sound a
bit odd, but they do take care of us) needless to say I came to get some music
and some red bull but I saw this speaker system that stood about three feet
high and had a dock built in the top. I was colored black and if I can remember
correctly had three separate towers, one which I assume housed the subs and
two that had the mids, and tweets. Anyway, now that I have a Mac and an ipod
I decided to try and buy this thing, but for the life of me cant remember the
name. Any help would be awesome.

But that doesn't stop insurers falling over themselves to sell a much wider range of "just in case" insurance policies. And if you are the worried type and buy up just about everything going, the costs for an average family can mount up to more than pounds 7,000 a year (see box).
Assuming you have got motor, home and life cover - the most essential insurance for many people - what should you buy next? You need to make a list of your priorities; for many people this might be a policy to protect your income if you are off work for a long time or become disabled.
So how do you decide what is a priority? Peter Staddon, technical services manager at the British Insurance Brokers Association, says: "The biggest investment you make is the purchase of your home, and that needs to be protected. Work out whether you need income replacement insurance.
"Also, a lot of people are under-insured on home insurance as they don't realise the value of their assets."
Under-insurance is often unintentional - you may have taken out a home contents policy several years ago and simply renewed it each year. In the meantime, you have probably acquired a lot more possessions and the value of your jewellery or antiques may have risen sharply.
Most advisers consider life insurance to be an essential buy, and many recommend that you take out enough insurance to cover between five and 10 times your annual household income.
But in fact you don't need life insurance cover unless you have dependents. If you are single and have a mortgage, some lenders insist on life insurance. If yours doesn't, you can bypass this cover if you think that the sale of your home would raise enough cash to repay your outstanding mortgage.
Mr Staddon's favourite little-known tip is legal expenses insurance, which is usually offered as an add-on to home contents insurance or motor insurance. "It only costs pounds 15 or pounds 20 and it gives you the power to take action against others - and you get a free legal advice helpline."
If you do have the money to go beyond core insurance policies, some enterprising firm will have a policy for your individual needs. At the more extreme end of the worry spectrum, Grip, an off-the-wall insurance outfit, offers cover against being converted into a werewolf or a vampire. It also has a special millennium policy.
If you choose to take out this cover, Grip will pay out pounds 5,000 in compensation should you be hospitalised because of alcohol poisoning, arrested or unable to "perform" on New Year's Eve.
These figures are based on an average family living in a four- bedroomed detatched house in Ipswich. The father is a 45-year-old IT consultant and the mother a 45-year-old receptionist. Both are non-smokers. They have three children: a daughter, aged 20, in her second year at Leeds university; a son of 17 who is in full-time education and has just passed his driving test; and another son, aged 10, who is still at junior school.
They have a Ford Mondeo, insured in the father's name and a Renault Clio, which is insured in the mother's name and has the two older children as named drivers. Both have full no-claims bonuses.

I thought this a great idea (as you can tell from my smile in the photo). There was almost something incestuous about watching stevesurf's webcast on his laptop in the same room where the event was taking place. It was stevesurf, BTW, who was shouting "Who?" during the raffle, because he was identifying the winners live on his webcast.

"stevesurf" had a live feed Webcast set up so that Head-Fi members who couldn't attend, could share in the fun.

Writing 'The Unknown Terrorist'
From the front page
I met David Hicks not long before he was released from Guantanamo Bay. He was drinking Makers Mark bourbon in a bar in Greenwood, a fading town in the Mississippi Delta. He was fatter than in the photos I had seen, and though his wavy blond hair showed only a few streaks of grey, he also appeared to be a good 20 years older. In fact, he bore no physical resemblance whatsoever to the grenade-launching young man with whom I, along with the rest of Australia, had become familiar.
In a strong, deep southern accent David Hicks, scion of an old cotton-plantation dynasty, told me how he had been unable to fly for two years after September 11, because David Hicks was on a no-fly list circulated by the US authorities. But, I objected, they already had David Hicks locked up in orange overalls, shackled to an eye bolt in Guantanamo Bay.
"Yes sir," said David Hicks, "I know that. I said that, sir. But y'all know, you cannot be too careful where national security is concerned, and that's the truth sir, yes sir, that is."
Nietzsche said individuals are rarely mad, but societies frequently are. If that's true, we've just lived through one such era of madness which is, I suspect, finally beginning to end. It's a cliché, but true, that the world was different after September 2001. I felt I had become a stranger to my own time. And like David Hicks of Mississippi, I came to accept a world so strange that it became possible for my own country to legislate for secret trials and secret imprisonments.
I found the way I had of thinking about the world didn't seem to work anymore, and the way I had written books suddenly seemed no longer relevant. And then I had an odd personal experience. This is a very small story, and I don't wish to make too much of it. But it had a large effect on me.
I became involved, largely by accident, in the debate about logging old-growth forests in Tasmania. In 2004 I wrote an article in the Melbourne Age questioning the curiously close relationship between one large company, Gunns - the world's largest exporter of hardwood woodchips, all Tasmanian - and the Tasmanian government.
All hell broke loose. For a week I was front-page news on my home island. Lies and scuttlebutt were said about me and run as news. And I had no recourse. The local newspaper refused to publish my writing. The minister for forestry - now up on a conspiracy charge - had called me a traitor in parliament, and the Tasmanian premier, Paul Lennon, now publicly declared neither me nor my writings welcome in "the new Tasmania". But it wasn't that which shocked me.
It was the way the media was more than happy to run what one company and the government would, I suspect, be pleased for them to run, and the way most people believed most of what they were told. People, I realised, thought I was who they were being told I was.
And I was far more upset by this than I could have believed possible. I felt something far worse than humiliation, a sense that something deep within me had been taken away. It's a very hard experience to convey to those who haven't experienced it.
Then I realised that what was happening to me was but a very small example of what was happening in a much larger, much more horrific way around the world. It was clear that endless lies were being told about Muslims, terrorists, Iraq, refugees, our own freedoms and liberties, and it was being done to protect power and money, and no one seemed to care. And the target of all this hate, all these lies, was always the weak and the powerless, those we once called battlers.
It became possible to say anything outrageous; and the more outrageous, the more publicity it got. Aborigines hadn't really suffered. Refugees weren't really genuine. Torture wasn't torture if Americans did it, and Australians were doing their Australian duty doing whatever Americans told them. To protect our freedoms as Australians, laws were passed here in Australia whereby people can now disappear and we will not know, and no one cared about that either.
The one thing that no longer mattered was the truth. And so when I heard a senior American official say that the three prisoners who committed suicide at Guantanamo Bay were committing an act of asymmetrical warfare, a publicity stunt, I knew it wasn't comedy but our age.
I found I didn't much like Australia anymore. Because it's my country too, and I was tired of watching it slowly being trashed and sold out. I was weary of the interminable crap about property prices and Howard's generation and investment seminars and what I should do with my super. I didn't like the racism, the materialism, the inescapable stupidity, the way in which we embraced everything American, be it another murderous war or another series of The West Wing or letting them anally rape an Australian citizen and keep him locked up in Guantanamo Bay, and I didn't like the way we'd cop just about anything now and smile as long as interest rates stayed on hold. I was exhausted by having to listen to shock-jocks and read opinion columnists and their nonsense that had created an Australia where a skinhead Nazi with a flag draped around his body on Cronulla Beach was seen to be more Australian than a Muslim or someone of Middle Eastern origin.
And I didn't like the way we stopped believing in what was unique and extraordinary about ourselves - our land, our black identity, our mongrel society, our strong democratic impulses - and lost faith in the worth of our own culture.
And so I searched for a story that might explain to myself what had happened and what it meant and what it might yet mean. I hung out in Sydney with cops around Kings Cross, with junkies and with pole dancers, with homicide and counter-terrorism police, and set about making my mirror to what we had become.
All my novels until then had been about love, land and memory, but now I wanted to write a novel about the opposite, about people for whom love wasn't sufficient and money was enough, who were lost and who had no connection to history or place, yet for whom tomorrow wasn't a promise but a growing threat.
I needed a story that would make it work. It was no good doing it about a Muslim or an Arab or anyone like that. It had to be about someone of no particular background and with no strong beliefs. I wanted people to read this book and think: It could be me they come for next. And the truth is, as I had learnt, it could be you. And if that happened, what would an ordinary person do?
I searched for a tale that would allow me to do this. I ended up with a parable about four days in the life of a Sydney pole dancer who is mistakenly identified as a terrorist.
I took this book from everywhere: radio ads, infotainment programs, newspaper headlines, pub talk. A lot of what is most disturbing in the novel are quotes from shock-jocks and politicians - no one in Australia, I felt, was doing fiction better. How could I have known that the tale I was cobbling together from such unpromising material would later be imitated in life with the Dr Haneef controversy?
The one thing I knew was that a story will always take you beyond what you know and what you think. For nothing is more secondary to a book's achievement than the intentions of its author.
And why?
Because a novel, when it succeeds, takes the writer beyond his own history and character, escapes the shackles of his politics and opinions, and in the alchemy of story there is torn out of the writer's soul that which joins one human being with all human beings. For this reason, Kipling's great stories can never be reduced to his imperialism, nor Dostoyevsky's genius invalidated by his anti-Semitism.
A few miles from where I drank bourbon that day with David Hicks in Greenwood, Mississippi, is the Tallahatchie Bridge. In August 1955, the corpse of the African-American Emmett Till was thrown over that bridge into the river below, weighted with a 75-pound cotton-gin fan tied to his neck with barbed wire. As punishment for having spoken to a white woman, the 14-year-old Till had been brutally beaten, then shot dead.
A few miles in another direction lies the grave of Robert Johnson and a different story. Through the influence of his music, the Delta-blues singer perhaps did more than any other to bridge such a horrific racial divide.
There are so many forces in the world that divide us deeply and murderously. We cannot escape politics, history, religion, nationalism - for their sources lie as deep in our hearts as love and goodness, perhaps even deeper. But at its best, art reminds us of all that we share, of all that brings us together.
And when I finished The Unknown Terrorist and I had to tour with it, I realised the novel wasn't about the things I daily told others it was about at all. It wasn't about politics or the state of the nation or the static of current affairs. It was about something else entirely: about love, about its inadequacy, about our hopeless need for it. If a writer writes a novel in order to write a single sentence, that sentence for me is, 'Love is never enough, but it is all we have.'
I had begun the novel in despair, but I concluded it taking my compass in hope. Perhaps it is a choice. Or perhaps it is a more truthful understanding of this world: after all, to reflect only on power and the powerful, on politics, is only ever to essay the worst of what we are as human beings. We may need politics, but we should not make too much of it. Politics, I wrote near the end of the novel, is the enemy of love. Could it be that the world also advances through the countless acts of individual goodness and kindness made every day by numberless everyday people? As much through unsung, unnoticed acts as through policy announcements, cabinet reshuffles and leadership battles? Such a sense of hope - it can scarcely be called an idea - is not the basis of a politics. For many that would be its unforgivable weakness. For me it is its fundamental strength.
Perhaps, in the end, I wondered if what we were living through was really a political crisis at all: perhaps it was a crisis of human nature; perhaps it was a crisis of love. It manifests itself all around us in an epidemic of loneliness, of sadness. I have been struck, reading about suicide bombers, by how they are often described as peaceful and loving young family men. What is it that leads people of love into acts of murderous evil? What is it that has led us to make a world in which people feel the only way they can manifest love is through hate?
These are questions that have as their subject human nature and not politics. And it is these questions that my novel, however inadequately, grapples with. In consequence it's not a political book, though it has been intensely read as one. And, in consequence, it's not a story that offers comfort to any point of view, Left or Right. Its portrait of Australia hasn't pleased all, neither some political standover men nor all the drones of local letters.
But I hope it may just have reminded a few readers that books matter. That books aren't just novelty items or celebrity front-list accompaniments, one more marketing platform for the famous and the powerful. That books are one of the last things that we have left that remind us that we are not alone.
Because in a world where the road to the new tyrannies is paved with the fear of others, books show us that we are neither alone nor ultimately that different, that what joins us is always more important than what divides us, and that the price of division is ultimately the obscenity of oppression.
And if my book achieves nothing more than reminding one or two readers of these truths, if it encourages but a handful more people to pick up just one more book by another author that similarly offers a defence of what it is to be human, my creditors will be, as always, disappointed, but I'll judge it a success.

Iran appoints first woman ambassador since revolution
09 november 2015, 10:57Iran has appointed its first woman ambassador since the 1979 Islamic revolution, naming foreign ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham to head its embassy in Malaysia, the foreign minister announced on Sunday, AFP reports.
"Choosing Afkham as ambassador took a few minutes but choosing her successor took four months," Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said at a ceremony in Tehran for the 50-year-old career diplomat who will be replaced at the ministry by a man, Jaber Ansari.
Iranian media first said back in April that Afkham was lined up for promotion to the rank of ambassador, but the reports were unconfirmed.
Zarif paid tribute to Afkham, who was also the first woman in the Islamic republic to serve as foreign ministry spokeswoman, saying she had carried out her duties for two years with "dignity, bravery and particular insight".
In turn, the new ambassador to Kuala Lumpur, quoted by state news agency IRNA, praised Zarif for "the courage to take such a decision" and for his "trust in women".
After his 2013 election, Iran's moderate President Hassan Rouhani called on ministers to appoint women to high posts and said his government would stand up against discrimination, naming three women to the country's 11 vice presidential positions.
Although deemed more liberal than those of many Arab countries, Iran's laws since the revolution have been criticised as unfair to women in cases of marriage, divorce and inheritance.
While women may hold key posts, including in parliament and the cabinet, they can not serve as judges and have not been allowed to run for president.

BONFIRE SHELTER. Bonfire Shelter, the oldest mass bison-kill site in the New World, lies in a deeply entrenched canyon one kilometer above its juncture with the Rio Grande near Langtry, Texas. This large rockshelter, hidden behind a massive roof fall, holds three bone deposits and at least two occupational levels, each stratum separated from the others by sterile cave fill. The lowest bone deposit contains the scattered skeletal remains of now-extinct large game animals, such as elephant, camel, horse, and bison. These species ranged the lower Pecos region at the end of the Pleistocene, about 14,000 to 12,000 years ago. The intermingling of the bones of so many species, the cut marks and breakage patterns on the bones, and the presence of large, anvil-like limestone blocks indicate that this site was used as a butchering station. The second, younger bone bed contains only bison bones of the now extinct species Bison antiquus. About 120 animals are represented by body parts. Stone tools, including Paleo-Indian arrowheads such as Folsom and Plainview, and radiocarbon assays of charcoal from small hearths date this level to 10,000 years ago, when herds of the giant bison were driven over the cliff above, killed on the rocks below, and either rolled or dragged into the shelter for butchering. Over 7,000 years later the site was again used for the same purpose, the stampeding of herds of modern bison to their death (see BUFFALO). The discarded bones, meat, and fat, the residue from butchering, apparently ignited spontaneously and reduced this bone deposit to ash and burned and brittle bone.
In the third level, among the remains of an estimated 800 bison, numerous stone tools were found, including projectile points similar to the Montell and Castroville types more common in Central Texas. Pollen (see PALYNOLOGY) and other environmental indicators support the theory that during a short mesic interlude about 2,600 years ago the grasslands of the Southern Plains extended into the lower Pecos, bringing the bison herds and their attendant hunters into the region until a return to arid conditions forced their retreat. Bonfire Shelter is thus both the oldest and the southernmost example of the jump technique of bison hunting and the only site of this type yet recorded on these margins of the Southern Plains. Its preservation can be attributed to the massive roof fall, which diverted the falling bison into the shelter rather than into the canyon, where their remains would have been washed away by flood.
Bonfire Shelter was excavated in 1963–64 and 1983–84 by the Texas Archeological Survey. Faunal remains are curated at the Vertebrate Paleontological Laboratory, and artifacts, notes, and photographs are stored at the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory and the Texas Memorial Museumqv q at the University of Texas at Austin.

Alfentanil use while Breastfeeding
Drugs containing Alfentanil: Alfenta
Alfentanil Levels and Effects while Breastfeeding
Summary of Use during Lactation
When used epidurally or intravenously during labor or for a short time immediately postpartum, amounts of alfentanil ingested by the neonate are small and would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. Alfentanil is highly protein bound which should result in less transfer to breastmilk than other opiates; however, because there is no published experience with repeated doses of intravenous alfentanil during established lactation, other agents may be preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. Once the mother's milk comes in, it is best to provide pain control with a nonnarcotic analgesic and limit maternal intake of alfentanil to a few days with careful monitoring. If the baby shows signs of increased sleepiness (more than usual), difficulty breastfeeding, breathing difficulties, or limpness, a physician should be contacted immediately. Labor pain medication may delay the onset of lactation.
Drug Levels
Maternal Levels. Nine women in the early postpartum period were given intravenous alfentanil 50 mcg initially and then 10 mcg as needed during tubal ligation surgery under general anesthesia. Colostrum was sampled prior to surgery at 4 and 28 hours after the last intraoperative dose. No postoperative doses were given. At 4 hours after the last dose, the average level of alfentanil in colostrum was 0.88 mcg/L and the highest measured level was 1.5 mcg/L. Alfentanil milk levels 28 hours after the last dose were about the same as presurgery (control) levels; however, average cumulative alfentanil dosage was not reported.[1] Using the highest measured alfentanil level in this study, an exclusively breastfed infant would receive an alfentanil dosage of 0.2 mcg/kg daily.
Infant Levels. Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
Effects in Breastfed Infants
Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk
Narcotics can increase serum prolactin.[2][3] However, the prolactin level in a mother with established lactation may not affect her ability to breastfeed.
A national survey of women and their infants from late pregnancy through 12 months postpartum compared the time of lactogenesis II in mothers who did and did not receive pain medication during labor. Categories of medication were spinal or epidural only, spinal or epidural plus another medication, and other pain medication only. Women who received medications from any of the categories had about twice the risk of having delayed lactogenesis II (>72 hours) compared to women who received no labor pain medication.[4]

Golfsmith Sees Best Q4 In Four Years; Quiksilver Eyeing Rebound
Golfsmith reported its "best fourth quarter in four years," with sales at the "nation's largest golf retailer jumping about 15% from a year ago," according to CNBC's Melissa Francis. The company's stock "is up 20% from a year ago." But CNBC's Darren Rovell noted the "golf business has been among the most challenged in this tough economic environment." Rovell asked Golfsmith President & CEO Marty Hanaka whether the company's rebound is an "economic indicator for all businesses." Hanaka said, "Our whole team has worked very hard the last couple of years to reposition the company … and a real highlight is our Web business." He noted online sales "were up 40%, our direct business was up 31%" and the company's "comp stores up 6.4%." Hanaka noted there are "several factors" for the increases. Hanaka: "The environment's better, there's less competition than there was, we've opened some new stores, and I think our people are really executing much better than in the past. Also, new products that are stimulating interest in the industry." Rovell asked if the scandal surrounding Tiger Woods last year affected business "as much as we thought he would in 2010." Hanaka: "He hasn't really affected business at all. Anything he gets is gravy, and we're seeing a changing of the guard out there. All these young, new players are exciting, whether it's Dustin Johnson, Anthony Kim, Rory McIlroy. … We don't need Tiger. We got a lot of young players" ("The Call," CNBC, 1/13.)
SURF'S BACK UP: Quiksilver Chair & CEO Bob McKnight Thursday discussed the company's rebound after its stock price dropped to under $1 a share. He said it "does feel great to actually go back to working on product and marketing and team riders and events and reconnecting with our core accounts and all those things we are now able to do, where the past 18 months have been stuck in a board room and locking down the finances." McKnight said it was "very rewarding for the company to be able to de-lever the company the last year, work on efficiencies and bring the company back to very good profitability." McKnight: "We're back to what we do best. We're going to be focusing on our brands." He noted Quiksilver has some new initiatives, and the company is "going to be working on our expansion geographically." McKnight: "Now we can really push those brands and work on the distribution." McKnight added the company's "focus is the 14-18-year-old girl/guy, and as long as we make products for them that's innovative and exciting, then we'll be cool forever" (Fox Business, 1/13).

Circumference of a Circle
Circumference and Area of a Circle
Compute the area and circumference of a circle given the radius. The input/output behavior of the program should be
Circle radius(real number)? 5.1
Area of Circle with radius 5.1 is 81.7104
Circumference is 32.0433
Union in C
Like structures, union is a collection of data items of different types. The only difference between structure and union is from the view point of storage of their members. All the members of a structure are assigned separate memory locations, but union allows you to view a single storage area in more then one way, i.e all the members of a union the same memory area.
Bubble Sort Program
Bubble sort is most popular sorting technique because it is very simple to understand and implement. The algorithm achieves its name from the fact that,with each iteration the largest value moves like a bubble to the top of the array. The bubble sort method is not efficient for large arrays.
Scanner Class in Java
Input by using Scanner Class
The Scanner Class is defined within a Java Package(java.util.*; OR Java.util.Scanner).There are more methods in class Scanner .
Creating Scanner Object
Scanner Class is available in system package java.util . You must import this package to avail the facilities contained in Scanner Class.
Infinite loop using thread in Java
A thread is just like a program, which has a single flow of control. Threads are called lightweight processes.This is because ll the threads in a main application program share the same address space in the memory.
Operations on an Array in C
In Computer Programming,an Array,also known as a Vector or List,is one of the simplest data structure.Array holds equally sized data elements, generally of the same data type.In this individual elements are accessed by index(for ex arry[0],arry[2] here 0 and 2 are the index).
Difference between Singly Linked Circular List and Doubly Linked Circular List
1)The structure of a node of singly linked circular list is as follows:-
Struct list_type
Int data;
Struct list_type *next;
Linked Lists in C
1 LINK OR POINTER: A pointer also called a link or a reference, is defined to be a variable that give the location of some other variable(point to the next consecutive node), typically of a structure containing data.

A rebel fighter runs for cover through sniper fire Wednesday in Aleppo, Syria. The embattled regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad promised Thursday to observe a U.N.-proposed truce during a four-day Muslim holiday, while rebels claimed major gains in the key battleground of Aleppo. But prospects of the cease-fire taking hold today are dim, given Assad's history of broken promises and the rebel momentum in Aleppo, the country's largest city.

Liver biopsy: blind or guided?

Benefits of guided biopsy are clear only for focal lesions
Despite advances in imaging techniques and serological investigations percutaneous needle biopsy of the liver is still important in accurately diagnosing hepatic disease. The basic technique, described by Sherlock, has changed little over the past 50 years.1 It is simple, cheap, and relatively safe and can be carried out at the bedside. In the past few years, however, ultrasonography has been increasingly used to guide the biopsy needle. A recent large survey of consultant gastroenterologists showed that 1 in 8 always used ultrasonography guidance for biopsies.2 Some consultants now believe that ultrasonographically guided biopsies are so much safer that blind biopsy can no longer be defended. Before this policy is adopted uncritically, however, it is important to examine the current evidence concerning safety, diagnostic yield, and cost.
Percutaneous liver biopsy has a mortality of 0.01%-0.1%.3 4 Death is usually due to bleeding or to biliary peritonitis as a result of puncture from the gall bladder. The incidence …

Abstract: |
We describe two siblings with a Sengers-like syndrome, who presented with congenital hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, infantile cataract, mitochondrial myopathy, lactic acidosis and normal mental development. A mitochondrial adenine nucleotide translocator 1 (ANT1) defect was detected since the ANT1 protein was not detectable by immmunoblotting in muscle samples of the patients. Additionally to these features of classical Sengers syndrome (OMIM 212350), we found that the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, measured by biochemical analysis, was severely compromised in skeletal muscle in both children. Biochemical and morphological analysis of the fibroblasts revealed normal results. The association of significantly decreased pyruvate oxidation rates, deficient energy production and decreased multiple mitochondrial enzyme-complex activities in the muscle samples of our patients is a new finding which differs from previous results in patients with Sengers syndrome. CONCLUSION: we recommend a muscle biopsy and the biochemical analysis of the oxidative phosphorylation system in patients with muscle hypotonia, cardiomyopathy and congenital or infantile cataract.


text: Trends » bling it onPosted at: Mar 18, 2017, 2:29 AM; last updated: Mar 18, 2017, 2:50 AM (IST)WELLNESSPreparing for a pauseMenopause can be a life-altering experience for many women. However, it can be tackled effectively with modifications in diet and other habits PreviousNextAnjali Mukerjee Menopause can mean different things to different women. Each woman's journey through menopause is unique. On an average women achieve menopause at the age of 50-52 years However, some women go through premature but natural menopause around the age of 40. For some women menopause is only a flutter in their biological rhythm but for a large number of women it may cause tremendous upheaval in their lives in physical and emotional terms. Women experience some discomfort around three to four years before menopause. This stage is called peri-menopause, when there is a notable decline in hormone production. This can prove to be the most difficult time for some women. The discomfort may be mild, moderate or severe. Their periods may get delayed or come early but these are erratic for sure. The periods may either get scanty or in some cases quite heavy. Some women experience depression, mood swings and reduced sex drive. This may affect their personal life and even relationships with family and close friends. Others may experience no significant changes. These are the fortunate few who live their whole lives without any discomfort. They breeze through their periods, don't have any trouble and slip into their menopausal phase without much ado. And there are those women who make a dramatic entry into menopause. They experience severe depression and anxiety, which tends to play havoc with their personal lives. Some women are awakened during sleep due to hot flushes, light sweats, etc. This can lead to sleep disturbances that further can lead to mood disorders and a constant feeling of tiredness. Memory impairment, difficulty in concentrating, lack of mental clarity are few of the other common changes experienced by women approaching menopause. In some cases there may be excessive hair growth in areas such as the upper lip, chin, around the belly button, midline of the chest etc. All these problems only add to the depressive states that exist around menopause. Fortunately, there is nothing 'serious' about these problems and the solutions are straight forward and effective. Eat rightThe most important dietary advice for all menopausal women is to increase intake of foods that are rich in phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are weak plant estrogens that have only a fraction of the strength of true estrogen. These phytoestrogens have both an 'estrogenic effect' as well as an 'anti-estrogenic effect'. Phytoestrogens are present in virtually every plant. Most fruits and vegetables like onions, apples, carrots, grapes, etc. contain small quantities of plant estrogens. Most beans contain higher quantities of plant estrogen, rajma, kabuli chana, black whole urad dal, chowli, moth, matki, sprouted moong beans are good sources of phytoestrogens. However, the richest sources of plant estrogens are soya beans, flaxseeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, methi seeds. Dietary guidelines Eat at least one phytoestrogen-rich food everyday. (e.g. soyabeans, flaxseeds, sesame seeds etc) Drink a glass of carrot juice every day. It provides you with calcium and phytoestrogen. A quarter cup of roasted soya nuts can meet your daily requirement of phytoestrogen. Eat a bowl of sprouted moong every day. Eat more whole dals, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts & seeds. A bowl of low fat curd will keep your bones healthy. Limit your intake of caffeine, soft drinks and alcohol as these leach out the much-required calcium from your body. Don't smoke. A sedentary lifestyle adversely affects bone mass. The above recommendations will require a few changes in your present lifestyle. Women should be educated about their bodies so that they are able to make the necessary changes well in advance. Fluctuating hormone levels can play havoc with some women. These suggestions may help save you of needless hormone related problems. — The writer is nutritionist, founder director-Health Total

Chris Tillman came to the Orioles in the same trade that brought Adam Jones from Seattle. This was back when Erik Bedard, who went to Seattle, was considered one of the great young pitchers in the game. Tillman was called up from Triple-A late last month and has made just two big league starts this season. In his most recent start, Friday against the Red Sox, he got only four outs.

A clinic is only as good and as interesting as what you get out of it, and also, what you are prepared to put into it. Last Saturday's Horsemanship with Heart clinic was no exception.
We had a mixed group - ponies and young people, and horses and older people (I don't mean 'old', just older than 15!). Prior to a clinic, I ask everyone to fill out a Pre-Clinic Questionnaire, which tells me a bit about them, what they think their horse's issues are, any problems that they may be experiencing, and so on.
So last week we had a mixed bag ... horses that push into people, rush through gateways, don't lead well, don't like their faces being touched, don't like their groins being touched, are nervous around people, and who have tantrums!
I keep the clinic numbers to a maximum of 8 or 10 and this gives me the opportunity to offer personal help to every person and their horse. I show ways of doing things that instill trust and confidence in a horse, being firm but gentle and offering confident leadership, which is what they all need! The most common reason that horses behave in ways we don't like is because of lack of leadership. Horses need love, yes ... but they also need leadership - it's part of their nature.
Participants learned about how to be the dominant partner in the relationship with their horse (remember, in the herd, there are no equals), which is done gently and simply, without force, fear or fuss. It's a simple, easy move that anyone can do, and I use it all the time, with every horse, to start off on the right foot, before I ask anything of them.
We practiced some leading, using body language, focus and breathing. We practiced the friendly game, with our tools and our hands, all over our horse's bodies to gain trust and confidence. We handled hooves in a polite way that encourages our horse's respect. We did some cool moves with our ropes that caused our horses to look at us with interest and respect. Then we brought out the obstacles, when participants could test their feel, focus and timing, and their horse's newfound bravery, trust and confidence.
It's always the horse that comes to the clinic with the most 'issues' that turns out to be the Star of the Day, and in this case it was 5 year old palamino Lady, who had come from an abusive background. Lady's gentle owner came to the clinic in the hopes of helping her horse become more trusting and less fearful. Turns out Lady, deemed scared and spooky, loved the obstacle course, and surprised everyone there with her cute playful antics with the tarp and coloured cones!
With strong, gentle, loving leadership, a horse's true Personal Character emerges, and it can delight you, surprise you, and enhance your relationship in so many positive ways.

As we look back over yet another fascinating year for bitcoin, it's natural to assess the individuals that helped influence the industry.
This year, of course, it's not just about bitcoin anymore: the technology underlying bitcoin, the blockchain, has taken own a life of its own, with institutional interest in blockchains almost reaching a frenzy. In a development that would have seemed almost impossible a year ago, banks and major financial institutions are starting up blockchain projects to probe the possibilities of the technology.
The industry needs influencers to point the way on technical or regulatory issues, to build awareness, to dream up revolutionary new solutions to serious global problems and to build elegant new enterprises to take this exciting emerging tech to the masses.
We had our own ideas as to who those people were in 2015 and we also asked you, the public, to give us your opinions in our reader poll.
For this year's top 10 list, we took into account the year's biggest events, the nominees' individual contributions to the community and the results of our poll.
So, who reached the top 10 this year? Read on to find out…

I had a great printing session in the silkscreen studio the other night. I came in early before teaching my embroidery class to get my bridge repeat printed. Above you can see my 2 pieces of fabric pinned onto one of our big fabric printing boards. Usually the boards are stored away in a closet, and it's a bit of a thing to prep for printing on fabric, but I'm so glad we have them.
I'm trying to figure out an easy registration system for fabric printing.Our boards don't have stops, so I tried marking out the measurements with masking tape to help me line up. My first repeat worked out pretty well mathematically, but I totally screwed up the 2nd repeat measurement.Luckily printing in navy blue made it easy to see the image through the screen, and I ended up lining up the image better the 2nd time than the 1st on my long border-style repeat.
Here's the screen I prepped for it. I've got my mandala embroidery ready to go next week on the same screen to save time. When you have small enough images you can fit 2 or more on the same screen easily. i just have to keep one blocked with tape or paper while printing the other.
I also tried repeating it vertically. This one was easier to do- I printed from bottom to top in alternating positions (1/3/5 then 2/4/6) I only goofed on the last registration- I registered vertically but not horizontally that last time!
The image started as a photo of the Ben Franklin Bridge which connects New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I've been thinking about how many times in my life I've probably crossed that bridge. I'm originally a Jersey girl, but feel more of a Philadelphian now. I'm hoping to add some embroidery to the horizontally repeated one by the end of this week. My solo show deadline looms!!!!
