Rainbow Cupcakes
For Briar's birthday I wanted to make her something bright and vibrant – so rainbow cupcakes seemed like the perfect idea! I've seen this style of icing before in my google image searches for cupcake decoration ideas so now was the best excuse to try it out.
I made my standard vanilla cupcake recipe and dyed the mixiture and icing so that when you took a bite it was coloured pink-purple-blue-green-yellow!
- 190g butter, softened
- 2 T vanilla essence
- 1 C caster sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 ½ C plain flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- ½ C milk
- Preheat oven to 190°C
- Cream butter, vanilla and sugar until light and fluffy
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition
- Sift flour and baking powder together
- Fold into creamed mixture
- Stir in milk
- Divide mixture into thirds and colour as desired
- Spoon mixture evenly into the prepared mini cupcake pan that has been lined with paper cases
- When spooing the mixture in, evenly place in the colours as desired then gently swurl with a toothpick so the mixture marbles when baked
- Bake for 15 mins or until cakes spring back when lightly touched
- Transfer to a wire tack to cool down before decorating
butter icing
- 100gbutter
- 2 T vanilla essence
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 T hot water
- ½ tsp food colouring
- 2 C icing sugar, sifted
Beat all of the above ingredients together until smooth. Divide into thirds and colour each batch as desired, this website details how to get the different colours to blend when you pipe the icing on the top
It was actually REALLY easy to do! All you have to do is spoon different colours into the piping bag and it just mixes itself!
I sprinkled yellow and green edible glitter on the top when done just to give them a bit more pazaaz!
They were delicious!

Sega & Fantendo All-Star Fighters is a fighting game that pits up characters from both Sega and Fantendo - 36 for each franchise, for a fight to the death. The game pulls inspiration from mainly Street Fighter and Killer Instinct, aswell as having it's own gimmicks that it uses. There is a 'sequel' to S&F that involves Fantendo and Nintendo characters, created not by Fuzzy, but by Sr.Wario (t∣b∣c).
Free-for-all is the normal gamemode, being the one that first pops up in mode seletion screen. Its everyone for themselves in this, with up to 8 characters fighting eachother at once. Free-for-all can either be played with a time limit or a life limit.
Teams is very similar to Free-for-all, except not. There can be up to 8 characters fighting on individual teams, and the team with the most points wins the game.
Ring Run is a 'special' gamemode, where health is replaced from Rings by Sonic, which you can collect by walking around the map. Though, if hit, you will get a major recoil and lose all of your rings, though get a few seconds of invincibility after hit. Whoever gets the most kills wins.
King of the Hill isn't about the most kills, it's about who can stand their ground the longest on the 'hill'! King of the Hill places a checkpoint in an area in the map, and your points gradually rise as you stay in that area and keep everyone else out. The person with the most time in the points wins!
Flood is a multiplayer gamemode, taking inspiration from Halo's Flood gamemode. One character will start out as a zombie, and whoever they kill will become a zombie. Zombies win if everyone is killed, and Survivors win if they survive! The first person infected with the Flood becomes the Alpha Flood, which is stronger then any other zombie.
Tower Defense is yet another 'special' gamemode, where the character you pick defends a tower, and you can send out other characters to fight the other tower! First tower to collapse loses the game.
Classic Mode is inspired by Super Smash Bros. where you fight many characters, and in the end you fight one of the Major Bosses in the game. The difficulties for Classic Mode are Easy, Medium, Hard, and Inferno.
Adventure is the 'Story Mode' of Sega & Fantendo, though not being much of a story mode, and more of a collection of stages that different players run through and fight Major Bosses.
Boss Rush takes 1-4 characters through all stages with Boss Battles, and whoever beats the most bosses wins the game.
Mining is one of several gimmicks in this game, and is the main way of earning credits. Specific badniks can be assembled and sent down to the mines to gather geodes, which can be broken open to find precious materials, which can then be sold into credits that are used in the shops. Badniks have rankings and are randomly picked when buying a 'Badnik Assembly Kit'.
To see more about mining, click here!
Credit Shop
In this game, both QT and Omochao are the owners of the Credit Shop, selling for each of there franchises. They sell extra alt costumes, stages, Badnik Assembly Kits, and for real money they sell the DLC packs! You can also befriend QT and Omochao by chatting with them about things in general, sounds stupid, I know.
At the start of the game, Unten and Sonic are the only unlocked, aswell as a choice of one Sega an one Fantendo character of the Player's choice, though they must both be rivals of eachother. As you continuously play more players will be unlocked, when unlocked you will encounter them at their home stage and fight them, unlocking them if you win the battle against them.
There are 130 stages total in the game (140 counting DLC!) that Sega and Fantendo characters can fight across. 65 stages are SEGA based, while the other 65 are Fantendo based. The first 40 for each franchise are starting (36 of them are home stages, the other ones are just random stages.) but the last 25 for each must be bought from QT in the shop with credits.
To see all the stages, click here!
- In specific Fantendo stages, there will be a plane flying in the sky, and if looked closely upon players can see the words in bright red 'VOLTDOZZ IS DEAD!'.

I don't have the answers, but I sure have a lot of questions.
Should all pupils in Germany's state schools get educated in the tenets of Islam? If so, what version of Islam is the correct one that schoolchildren must internalize? Sunni Islam? Shiite Islam? Salafi Islam? Wahhabi Islam? Ahmadiyya Islam? Sunni Islam alone has five main sub-sects (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbalites, and Ẓāhirī), and all those f(r)actions have splinters. Who will decide, for the purposes of German schools, what the proper theology is?

Tanked Matinee is the place to go for good drinking movies. What do we mean by that? Simply speaking, we evaluate and recommend entertainment media based on how much fun it is to watch with friends on the sofa and a cold beer in hand.
Everyone knows "The Godfather" is a great movie, but is it as great to drink with as "Roadhouse?" We can appreciate "Citizen Kane" as a masterpiece of cinema, but is it as good a centerpiece for your party as "Santa Clause Conquers the Martians?"
Tanked Matinee appreciates film as art, but when you're kicking back on Friday night with a tall Rum & Coke, you're not looking for art, man, you want to be entertained. We're here to recommend the best movies for your night in, whether it's a big party, small get-together, or just a quiet night alone with a bottle of wine or three.

This is the weirdest FSU team of all-time. What perplexes me weekly is the complete lack of energy, passion and enthusiasm. They play like a despot has kidnapped them and is making them play football for his entertainment. They don't even seem like they enjoy playing. Everything and every game is won with minimal effort. It's crazy. sh*t, we didn't eat the cheese. We ate that sh*t and ordered seconds.

Oline getting our rbs hurt. Not new but painful to watch. Another game with the same type of play, not new but painful to watch. The struggle is real with them and it won't change. Some how almost every game they've played this year has come at a cost and almost always the only real positive is that FSU won the game and a few outstanding individual performances. Another week and im still waiting for this team to put it together but realistically I don't think its possible now.

Three visits in eight weeks for 4-star TE
Buford (Ga.) four-star junior tight end Isaac Nauta has become a familiar face at Florida State over the past year. He was back in Tallahassee on Saturday to watch FSU take on Virginia.
It marked Nauta's third visit to see the Seminoles in the past eight weeks.
Nauta had previously attended FSU's games against Clemson and Notre Dame this season.
He announced last month that he plans to announce his decision on December 15th. He is expected to choose from Florida State, Georgia, Ole Miss and South Carolina.
On Sunday morning, following his most recent visit to FSU, Nauta stated he was still 'locked in' to that announcement date.
The 247Sports.com Crystal Ball sits at 95% for the Seminoles. South Carolina claims the other 5%.
The 247Sports.com Composite ranks Nauta as the No. 46 prospect and No. 1 tight end in the 2016 class.

Report: FSU players in hit-and-run
Two Florida State players -- starting cornerbacks P.J. Williams and Ronald Darby -- were involved in a hit-and-run accident earlier this month that resulted in two traffic tickets, the New York Times reported Friday.
It is the latest in a series of incidents involving Florida State players and Tallahassee law enforcement officials.
According to the Times, Williams, driving with a suspended license, hit a car off-campus at 2:37 a.m. on Oct. 5 -- just hours after the Seminoles had beaten Wake Forest, 43-3. Both cars were totaled. The paper reported that Williams abandoned the wrecked car and fled, along with Darby and another unidentified passenger, before returning to the scene "approximately" 20 minutes later.
The Times said Williams, the most valuable player in last season's BCS National Championship Game, was not tested for alcohol or even asked by Tallahassee police if he had been drinking prior to the accident, and that two ranking officers from the Florida State University police department, who lacked jurisdiction, arrived on the scene but failed to report the incident to the school.
Florida State told the Times that the officers' role was too minor to require a report or even to enter in their online police log.
The Times reported that -- while the case was initially investigated as a hit-and-run accident -- Williams was given only two traffic tickets totaling $392 in fines, which later didn't even show up in the Tallahassee Police Department's public online database because of a "technical glitch," according to police. The fines remain unpaid and Williams' license remains suspended, the paper reported.
Tallahassee police chief Michael DeLeo told the Times that "no one should be shown any favoritism" and that an investigation would be forthcoming. Florida State would not cooperate with the Times investigation by making anybody available for interviews.
The Seminoles, ranked No. 3 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, play Miami on Saturday.

possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when
possible and drink plenty of water. To reduce risk during outdoor
work the occupational safety and health administration recommends
scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned
environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool
and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency, call 911.

I am, as Green Day said on their last good album, a walking contradiction, and the more I think about it, the more I enjoy the fact that even I'm incapable of really categorizing myself.
Nights that I'm not at work are usually spent going to a concert or relaxing at home with something to read. On my days off I like to travel and explore, assuming I've finished all my self-inflicted household chores. I
-Finding random things at the Farmer's Market and then Googling for recipes to use them in.
-Going on crazy adventures at the drop of a hat.
-Debating politics and policies with such passion that you'd almost think they might be acted upon.
-Finding the seediest dive bar with the best drink specials.
-Dancing to ska music while stopped at a red light.
I'm not a big TV person and I hate trying to watch something one week at a time. I usually wait until the season (or series) is over so I can buy a boxed set and binge on a good show. The only things I can't miss are The Daily Show, Last Week Tonight, Real Time, and Game of Thrones. I'm also way behind on The Walking Dead and try to catch Rock and Morty and Venture Brothers when I can.
Music? Hell, this should be its own section.
-Punk (NOFX, Bad Religion, The Dwarves, Anti-Flag, Lagwagon, Dropkick Murphys, Pennywise, Strung Out, Guttermouth)
-Ska (Mighty, Mighty Bosstones, Less Than Jake, Mustard Plug, The Toasters, Reel Big Fish)
-Hardcore (Rise Against, Boy Sets Fire, Alexisonfire, Thursday)
Rock (Alkaline Trio, Foo Fighters, Cake, The Thermals)
Random stuff like Tom Waits, Emile Autumn, The Yoshida Brothers, Florence and the Machine, The Black Mages
And I have hours of female-vocal bands (Nightwish, Evanescence, Epica, The Distillers, Picture Me Broken, Icon For Hire, Amaranthine, Lacuna Coil…)
If you're a fan of extremely silly and entertaining live bands, like Peelander-Z and The Aquabats, we can definitely be friends.
Good food
Recently it's more "bored online because I'm stuck at work" which I find offensive since my boss doesn't seem to realize I can accomplish that just fine somewhere else.

The Magpies hauled themselves into 14th place in the Premier League as a result of a 4-2 victory over Southampton at St James' Park on Sunday afternoon, their third league win in four attempts.
Pardew later revealed he had told his players they would need to rediscover the form which propelled them into the European places last season prior to the first victory of that sequence at struggling Aston Villa.
It's fair to say the United boss hasn't been left disappointed by the reaction he has had from his team since setting down that challenge.
He said: "When we went to Villa, I said to the team, 'We have got 15 games to go, we have got to be in the top four in the last 15 games', and we are, probably.
"We have had three wins out of four in that period and that has set us up nicely for the run-in now. That's the form we have got to maintain for the rest of the season.
"You look at the Premier League table and we have now put ourselves in a position to attack 10th, and that was the importance of the victory.
"It wasn't about anything else for me, and that's how I tried to get the players' mindset.
"I said to them afterwards, we should attack the top 10 now, and we can with this team.
"What a considerable difference to six weeks ago it has made, the players coming back from injury and the new players."

To Use or Not to Use: Finding the Balance in TechnologyMore Related Discussions
The use of technology as a teaching pedagogy has created an unlimited source of instructional activities and strategies to enhance student learning and higher academic achievement. We are living in the age of information highways that are accessible at the click of a button. This has created a wealth of options for teaching content knowledge. I am amazed at the response by students when technology is used. They are more focused and attentive to the subject matter even if it does not particularly interest them.
The boon in technology has infused several scenarios that can be considered problematic and counter-productive to student learning. The use of technology is great until it breaks down. I teach in a developing country where power outages are frequent. The probability of getting "zapped" in the middle of a presentation is pretty high even though we have generators and backup power for our computers. I have learned through the years that when using technology, always have a backup in case it fails. I have also noticed that excessive use of technology can impede social interaction between students. They become mesmerized by the endless source of entertainment available to them on an inanimate object. Social skills are hindered when technology is over-used. I make sure to have a cooperative learning activity following the use of technology. This ensures that students work together using their minds to solve problems instead of having a computer figure it for them.
In the long run, technology serves as an important tool for students and teachers to enhance the learning experience for both parties. Finding the right balance of when to use this technology and when not to can make a huge difference in learning outcomes. It can promote community in the classroom or tear it down. It can be the difference critical thinking and robotic mimicking. It is my hope that we as teachers use technology wisely and prudently in our teaching pedagogy.

Thank you Dan for your input. What strategies do you use in teaching technology to your students? Do you work collaboratively with other teachers when they have class projects that involve technology? I find that many of my students lack the fundamentals when it comes to using educational technology. Do you agree?
Hi Joseph,
A big part of my job is to make sure the students have those fundamental in place. I do also spend a lot of time working collaboratively with teachers to plan out and implement projects that use technology. You can see some of my work at http://pineglen.info
Thanks, Dan
I will take a look at it.
I work in a school where every child K-3 and above has their own iPad. While this is wonderful, it is also very scary for a teacher who, up until working in this school, did not have her own laptop and still does not have Internet at home! I realise that I sound like I live under a rock!
As you stated, Joseph, the students are so motivated when technology is used and having information literally at your fingertips is great, especially for describing new vocabulary for English Language Learners.
As I am still learning (which the students love!), my ideas may seem archaic so I do apologise. However, I really like using Google Docs with students because, once a document is set up (and after a couple of tries the students can do it themselves), small groups can collaborate on one piece of work together. The beauty of it is, as the teacher, you can also see who is participating or taking over or sitting passively allowing you to intervene where needed.
Another benefit of Google Docs is using the presentations (like PowerPoint) because I can set up resources by putting web links behind images or text so I have control over the students' research. Many Grade 3 students still need a lot of support deciding what questions to ask a search engine so I find this helps.
We also have books and good old fashioned face to face conversations for when the technology all goes pear-shaped :0)
Hope this helps,
K8ty, if your students are using Google docs to collaborate, then you're rockin', not living under a rock. Seriously, it sounds like you're putting the technology in your classroom to good use.
On the subject of online research, there was an interesting discussion here on Edutopia about sources for young children which you might find interesting. It's located at: http://www.edutopia.org/groups/technology-tools/715081
Thank you Samer,
I've had a quick look at the discussion so will try out some of the suggestions in class. I'm new to blogging for professional development so all tips gratefully received!
Have a great weekend :0)
You're welcome, K8ty. There are a ton of great resources here and elsewhere online. If you ever need anything, just ask. We'll do our best to point you in the right direction. :-)
Thanks for your honest response, Katy. I share your view that technology can be overwhelming at times for those that do not "live" on computers. Of course, being an educator does carry the responsibility of keeping up with the latest trends and innovations in our field. I am ecstatic that you have chosen to embrace the future with open arms and use it for the benefit of the students. That's why we do what we do.
Thanks for jumping in, Samir. It's nice to have support groups available to help us upgrade our pedagogy to the latest and greatest technology out there.
We're happy to be of service. :-)

High prevalence of undiagnosed chronic kidney disease among at-risk population in Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of Congo
There is limited knowledge of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) among high risk populations, especially in the developing countries. We report our study of testing for CKD in at-risk subjects.
In a cross-sectional study, 527 people from primary and secondary health care areas in the city of Kinshasa were studied from a random sample of at-risk out-patients with hypertension, diabetes, obesity, or HIV+. We measured blood pressure (BP), blood glucose level, proteinuria, body mass index, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR by MDRD equation) using calibrated creatinine levels based on one random measurement. The associations between health characteristics, indicators of kidney damage (proteinuria) and kidney function (<60 ml/min/1.73 m2) were also examined.
The prevalence of CKD in this study was 36%, but only 12% were aware of their condition. 4% of patients had stage 1 CKD, 6% stage 2, 18% stage 3, 2% stage 4, and 6% had stage 5. 24 hour quantitative proteinuria (>300 mg/day) was found in 19%. In those with the at-risk conditions, the % of CKD was: 44% in patients with hypertension, 39% in those with diabetes; 16% in the obese and 12% in those who were HIV+. 82% of those with a history of diabetes had elevated serum glucose levels at screening (≥ 126 mg/dl). Only 6% of individuals with hypertension having CKD had reduced BP to lower than 130/80 mmHg. In multivariate analysis, diabetes, proteinuria and hypertension were the strongest determinants of CKD 3+.
It appears that one out of three people in this at-risk population has undiagnosed CKD and poorly controlled CKD risk factors. This growing problem poses clear challenges to this developing country. Therefore, CKD should be addressed through the development of multidisciplinary teams and improved communication between traditional health care givers and nephrology services. Attention to CKD risk factors must become a priority.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a worldwide health problem
This situation prompted the International Society of Nephrology Commission for the Global Advancement of Nephrology (ISN COMGAN) to make the fight against CKD one of its priorities, by promoting awareness, early detection, and effective treatment
In our recent survey
Furthermore, attention to health problems in SSA is usually been focused on infectious diseases, rather than on chronic non-communicable disease (CND) such as CKD.
Screening of specific groups for CKD, such as those with known diabetes (DM) or with hypertension (HTN), may be more cost effective than screening the general population
Nonetheless, since we found an increasing prevalence of CKD risk factors such as HTN, DM, and obesity in Kinshasa
Study design and population
The present cross-sectional study is the second part of a larger ongoing study of CKD and associated risk factors termed "Prévalence, détection précoce et prévention des maladies rénales chroniques et facteurs de risque associés (PDMRA) en République Démocratique du Congo ". The present survey was done between January 9 and May 25, 2007.
Screening sites included primary (n = 9) and secondary health care (n = 4) chosen at random among networks of healthcare areas existing in the city of Kinshasa. The choice of the networks was based on the following criteria: a high number of the patients at-risk of CKD attending the centre, agreement of the authorities and availability of the health workers in these centres to select the subjects as well as to accommodate the research workers. PDMRA screening was conducted by a mobile research team composed of nephrologists, nurses and laboratory technicians. Primary care is a term used to define the activity of a health care provider who acts as a first point of consultation for all patients, while secondary health care includes dispensation of the care, hospital admissions and quality control of the structures of primary care.
Eligibility criteria for screening were age of 18 years or older and a personal history of HTN, DM, obesity or HIV infection, or first degree relative with kidney disease.
Screening Examinations and data collection
Knowing that 12.4% of adults have CKD in Kinshasa
All participants provided informed written consent before enrolment. They were examined by the research team, which recorded information on demographics, diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, use of indigenous herbal drugs, and birth weight knowledge. Data about first degree family relatives and medical history for kidney disease, HTN, DM and current treatment were also recorded. Body weight, height and waist circumference were measured. HTN, DM, obesity and HIV infection had been diagnosed during past patient visits. These diagnoses were confirmed in writing. All HIV participants except twelve received standard weight-based dosages of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), but medications were not adjusted for kidney function. They were initiated on stavudine plus lamivudine with either nevirapine (82%) or efavirenz (4%).
Blood pressure (BP) was measured twice in the right or left arm using a calibrated sphygmomanometer (WelchAllyn, Germany) at heart level. The subjects were allowed to relax for 5 minutes in a sitting position before determination of blood pressure.
HTN was defined as a systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg and/or concomitant use of antihypertensive medications by self-report
BP was categorized according to the Seventh Joint National Committee Report on Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of High Blood Pressure
- normal, < 120 and < 80 mmHg,
- prehypertension, 120–139 or 80–89 mm Hg;
- stage 1, 140–159 or 90–99 mm Hg;
- stage 2, ≥ 160 or ≥ 100 mm Hg.
The body mass index was calculated from the measured weight (in kilograms) and height (in meters) and was categorized as not obese (< 25 kg/m2), overweight (25 to 29.9 kg/m2) or obese (≥ 30 kg/m2) according to the 2000 WHO criteria
The diagnosis of DM was established after two fasting glucose values of ≥ 126 mg/dl using fingertip blood (Accutrend glucometer) and/or concomitant use of antidiabetic medications. DM was classified as type 2 or type 1 by clinical features as follows. Illness starting after age 40 years, the presence of chronic complications at onset, and an absence of ketones determined the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, illness onset before or at age 30, and typical clinical signs (weight loss, asthenia, polyuria, polydipsia) determined the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.
The participants provided a urine sample to detect proteins by urinary strips '(Combur 7-test)". Female subjects were instructed to void a random urine specimen, remote from menstrual periods. If positive with dipstick protein of 3+ (n = 102), measurement of 24-hour urinary protein was obtained (n = 99). Because ratio of albumin to creatinine (ACR) was not available and because urine dipstick provides only a semi-quantitative estimation of proteinuria and has imperfect accuracy in diagnosis of persistent proteinuria, kidney damage in stage 1 and 2 CKD in our study was identified as 24-hour urinary protein ≥ 300 mg per day. Serum creatinine and 24-hour quantitative proteinuria were carried out according to the kinetic Jaffe (semi-automated polyphotometer Visual Biomérieux) and Esbach methods, respectively. These tests were performed in the laboratory of the Belgian medical centre of Kinshasa ''CMK". For estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) determination, the abbreviated equation from the MDRD study was used. We calibrated the creatinine results measured with the Jaffe method against a traceable isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) enzymatic method (creatinine +, Roche enzymatic diagnostics) as described
The K/DOQI guidelines
The term chronic renal failure or CKD 3+ refers to an eGFR< 60 ml/min/1.73 m2. The term "all stages of CKD" includes both kidney damage (early stage of CKD, 1 and 2) and chronic renal failure (CKD 3 or worse).
Statistical analysis
Results are presented as number and percentage or mean ± SD. 2-sample Student's t test and chi-squares were used for comparison of means and proportions, where appropriate.
The outcome under analysis was the presence of CKD, defined as above. Exposure variables that were considered included gender, age, smoking, herbal drugs use, BMI, DM, pulse pressure, family history of kidney disease (FH-KD), HTN, and HIV infection. The crude (unadjusted) relationships between the exposure variables and the presence or absence of CKD were examined in univariate logistic regression analyses. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis was then done to evaluate the simultaneous effects of various exposure variables, with adjustment for the potential confounding effects of other factors. The above approaches were applied separately for CKD stage 3+ and for proteinuria.
A multiple linear regression model was used to determine the independent association between the reduction of an eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 and continuous variables such as age, duration of DM, duration of HTN, BP, and BMI. Except chi-squares, all data analysis and calculations were performed by using a standard statistical package (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL version 13.0, 2004). Chi-squares were made in the dialog box using medcalc version 9.1.01, 2005. A

Abbreviations: CKD 3+ (eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2), CKD = chronic kidney disease, CI = confidence interval, DM = diabetes, HTN= hypertension.
However, only pulse pressure > 60 mmHg (adjusted OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.03–3.2;
In patients with DM, increasing age and duration of DM were associated with reduction of kidney function (as eGFR MDRD equation < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) in multiple linear regression models according to the following equation:
[eGFR MDRD study equation = 61.6 - 0.12 (age, in years) - 0.43 (diabetes duration, in years),
This study documents CKD among at-risk population in the health system of Kinshasa, a large city in Sub-Saharan Africa. The overall prevalence of undiagnosed CKD is high, at 36%. This prevalence is probably not real since it was based on non validated MDRD study equation. However, we think that the question of the validity of eGFR MDRD in Black race is debatable. Indeed, since the MDRD Study formula has been adequately validated in African Americans with kidney disease
In addition, our survey indicates that one person out of five in this group has proteinuria, which was occurred at all stages of CKD. Among individuals classified as having CKD stage 3, 25% had macroproteinuria. As some authors
In this present study, we found a discrepancy between prevalence of dipstick positive protein and proteinuria mainly in CKD stage 3. This difference may be due to the fact that only patients with dipstick positive protein 3+ were tested for 24-hour proteinuria. It also confirms differences in sensitivity and specificity between tests as reported recently by Konta et al.
However, despite the fact that dipstick proteinuria has limited diagnostic value, it is of a great prognostic value. Indeed, dipstick positive protein has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, including the development of HTN
As expected
However, a secondary analysis of AASK study
HTN was also common with type 2 diabetes, which was more frequent than type 1 in the present study. In addition, most patients with DM in this study had poor glucose control. Appropriate management of DM and HTN are important to both the prevention and control of renal disease
Age and duration of DM also influenced the occurrence of CKD in this present study.
Duration of DM is well recognized as an important risk factor for diabetic nephropathy
CKD can also result from transmissible diseases such as HIV infection. Our observations show that the prevalence of CKD among HIV positive people is 12%. This value is lower than the 20% found in Uganda
Among patients with a family history of kidney disease, the proportion of CKD was 8%. In addition, while Ramirez et al
Another preventable risk factor for CKD is the use of herbal remedies, which was found in our study in univariate analysis but not in multivariate analysis. Others have reported renal toxicity and other adverse effects of traditional herbal remedies
Some risk factors for CKD such as smoking or LBW, reported elsewhere
An important issue that is not resolved by this study is how to reach high-risk individuals who do not attend these clinics as well the problem of payment for antihypertensive and antidiabetic drugs.
We think that our recent model of annual screening for proteinuria and CKD risk factors
However, despite their benefits, treatments of HTN and/or DM are costly. This limits their use in SSA, where about half the population lives on less than $ 1 per day
We believe that use of anti-hypertensives and anti-diabetic treatment will reduce morbidity and mortality, but the magnitude of this benefit is not known. Still, in consideration of the combined cost of anti-hypertensive and diabetic treatment, as compared to the expense of cardiovascular disease and chronic dialysis, the cost of anti-hypertensive and diabetic treatment is cheaper. Thus, we need the support of the pharmaceutical industry as well as community support to supply developing countries with necessary renoprotective and cardioprotective drugs.
Furthermore, it is noteworthy that this study population has a very different age distribution from that of the DRC in general, the subjects of this study having an older age than that of the general population of Kinshasa. This could suggest that there will be an increasing number of such at-risk subjects in the near future. Hence, this situation is likely to worsen over the next 20 years if no effective preventive measures are taken.
All health care workers will need to be engaged in this effort. It is impossible that a few nephrologists would be able to implement detection and prevention of CKD for the whole city, let alone the entire DRC. Indeed, in 2004, the DRC counted only 0.11 physicians per 1000 population and 0.52 nurses per 1000 population
Strength and limitation of our study
The strength of our survey is that it includes patients at-risk for CKD follow-up in multiple centres of primary as well as secondary health care and that we used a random sample and standardised methods of data collection. Already, by doing this study, we have improved awareness of optimal CKD care in traditional health care system of Kinshasa.
Our study has certain limitations. It is a cross-sectional snapshot analysis with 24-hour urinary protein not measured in every patient and serum creatinine measured only once. This may overestimate CKD. It has also a relatively small size, and it relies on the MDRD equation, the validation of which is lacking among African populations as well as in those with HIV. Moreover, the inaccuracy of 24 h urine collection may also over or underestimate CKD. Finally, although all participants were chosen randomly by the local team, it is possible that the choice was made among the more affected patients having needed specialized opinion.
Despite the above limitations, our findings show the effectiveness of community based targeted health screening program, in identifying significant numbers of persons with CKD previously undiagnosed, and also in finding those with inadequate risk-factor control. This study suggests that there is a great potential for decreasing CKD as well as ESRD incidence and cardiovascular morbidity or mortality by optimizing modifiable risk factors in this high-risk population. It also suggests that the costs of treating those with CKD may be cost-beneficial, by averting the morbidity of cardiovascular disease and also the very high cost of RRT. Furthermore, our study emphasizes the urgent need for increased training of generalist physicians and nurses in CKD prevention programs as well an active collaboration between traditional health care and nephrology services.
The establishment of prevention programs in developing countries is also a political and financial challenge. This challenge could be taken up by creation of international funding assistance as exists for HIV or tuberculosis infection, the goal of which would be to support the program of prevention of CKD, and some of its risk factors such as HTN, DM and obesity.
Finally, further study is needed to improve the precision of these preliminary data and to assess the benefit of antihypertensive such as ACEI on the progression of renal disease in Black Africans. That is because studies in Afro-Americans may probably not be directly applicable to Sub-Saharan Africans and extrapolation must be made with caution.

For a weekend getaway, we chose to stay at this B&B. This was our first B&B experience. The staff made us feel welcome; it was like coming home to family. As for the breakfast, the word "amazing" does not do it justice. Each meal we had was well planned and full of flavor. This B&B is centrally located and within walking distance to all the main attractions in St. Augustine and minutes from the beach access points. The B&B also provides parking to all guest, which is rare in the City. Highly recommended.

Location is centrally located. Our room was just average. It was clean but nothing special. Lighting was harsh, mattress needs replaced (putting a memory foam topper on top does not constitute a new mattress). I now have a pinched nerve in my back because of the mattress being too soft. No robes. Stingy with bath products/lotion. For an Inn advertising for couples/romance, it is all but. No music in the sitting or breakfast areas except for head banging music one morning. Breakfast was just ok. It seemed like it was prepared first thing in the morning, then served throughout the AM instead of cooked to order waffles, eggs, etc. At least cereal and breads were also available. We toured a couple other B&Bs in the area while in St. Augustine, and they were night and day better. The grounds of this property have lots of potential, but lack attention and landscaping. The staff were friendly and helpful. Cathy was a pleasure.

What a great B&B! Suite was really. Ice, all the expected amenities & services there. The breakfasts were stellar. Service during breakfast really well done. The B&B is quiet, in a quiet area, and a very short walk to 4 nice sidewalk cafés / restaurants. We consider the Casa de Solana to now be a destination - we will return just to stay at the B&B.
5 sur mai 11, 2016
Fabulous stay and look forward to future visits! Norman and Becky
3,6 sur avril 13, 2016
This B&B is located on the oldest street in the United States. It has a beautiful garden in which one can sit. The inside is opulently furnished and decorated, and the dining room as beautiful murals painted on the wall befitting the old Spanish heritage of the city. We asked for a room on the main floor and were given a suite, with bed and living room. The bedroom was the main room of the original structure from the 18th century and the elegant shower stall was built into a niche in the bedroom which we were told was originally the kitchen of the old home. Breakfast was delicious. It was a perfect stay. We highly recommend Casa de Solana.

Casa De Solana is a treasure! My husband and I were married there 3 years ago and we will not stay anywhere else ¿¿ This is our home away from home! We recommend Casa very highly; first class all the way.
4,2 sur avril 20, 2015
Our first trip to St. Augustine and it could not have been better...unless we had been able to stay longer. The wedding ceremony was exactly what we wanted and the service by Lynn and Jeff made us feel right at home. We cannot wait to go back and already decided this is the only place we will stay when we return!
5 sur avril 11, 2015

DescriptionSimulation games can be one of many different types of simulations. What all simulations have in common is that they are more realistically modeled to real life situations and/or variables than most games. Simulation games can model a wide variety of different situations and variables, most common are:
- Business/Trade Simulations
- Construction Simulations
- Life Simulations
- Management Simulations
- Sports Simulations
- Vehicle Simulators and Vehicular Combat Simulators
- War Simulations (Wargames)
