I am hoping that my review will give a unique perspective on this puzzle as I am blind but still love puzzles. Interesting twist on the age old polycube puzzle. Instead of polyforms made of cubes, this set uses a Triangular prism as it's monoform. The 4 planar pieces correspond to the Triamond and the 3 Tetramonds while the 3-D stones include: -two prisms stacked on top of each other. -A diamond with a third prism stacked on top. -3 formed by stacking a prism on top of a triamond. -3 formed by stacking two diamonds on top of each other(two having a overhang and 1 being convex). The base in cluded is quite nice, but isn't really sufficient for storage purposes on it's own. Also, best I can tell, ther is no way to position the pieces to fill the base.

The origins of the Bresaola and Bundnerfleisch method of curing beef are very ancient, and date back to the time when the alpine populations of the Italian and Swiss region started looking for a way to preserve the meat all year round. They developed the traditional system of storing the meat for winter through rubbing, salting, and air-drying processes.
Bernina Bresaola comes from grassfed Uruguayan cattle, raised in the open, with vast fields in which to roam. Grassfed beef is up to six times leaner than grain fed beef. It is a natural source of omega 3 fatty acids, rich in vitamins and minerals with no hormones, no antibiotics, and no animal by-products.
The special surroundings of the Uruguayan region, with low temperatures throughout the year and its dry air, make it possible to use less salt in the curing process, therefore obtaining a tender beef with a delicate flavor and aroma.
This Uruguayan Bresaola is delicious when sliced thin and topped with olive oil, lemon juice, and capers, or arrange a few thin circles on a plate and top with a peppery green salad. Also excellent on hors d'ouvre trays, anti-pasto platters, or sandwiches.

Rampant discounting by advisors in pricing their services — while possibly the result of a lack of confidence in the value they offer clients — is often dressed up in the language of business grand strategy. Discounted commissions are portrayed as merely "loss leaders" that make possible the higher fee income the advisor is seeking, or vice versa.
A recent study by PriceMetrix takes a closer look at how loss-leader pricing stacks up in the advisory industry and suggests that advisors — through inconsistent pricing — might not be making up for their losses.
The Toronto-based practice management software and data services company undertook the study after hearing many advisors describe their discounting as part of a formal strategy.
"We hear advisors say all the time that they recoup revenue given up on their fee-based business through their transactional business, as well as the reverse," Doug Trott, president and CEO of PriceMetrix, said in a news release. "This could be an effective strategy, if that's what advisors really did."
To find out what advisors were doing, PriceMetrix first took a broad look at pricing of household asset management and found it to be remarkably uniform.
Narrowing its field of study to households with between $500,000 and $1 million in assets and hybrid fee and commission pricing, PriceMetrix found that 25% paid discounted commissions but nondiscounted fees; 25% paid premium pricing on both; 25% received discounted pricing on both; and 25% paid discounted fees but nondiscounted commissions.
PriceMetrix then altered the view, moving from household assets to the advisor level, and found that advisors were likelier to maintain consistent pricing across fees and commissions than they were to use loss-leader strategies (despite much anecdotal information about the prevalence of this approach).
"Examining aggregate fee and non-fee pricing for hybrid households across thousands of advisors' books reveals that 21% of advisors trade off fee revenue for non-fee revenue, and another 21% trade off non-fee revenue for fee revenue. The more frequent outcomes are for advisors to price both types of business consistently — at a premium (29%) or at a discount (29%)," the study finds.
Finally, within these various hybrid revenue models, PriceMetrix looked at how consistent advisors were with individual households and found that the percentage of households in the same quadrant as the advisor never exceeded 50%.
"Our analysis indicates that advisors are just as likely to be consistent as they are to be inconsistent in how they price from one household to another," the report finds. That inconsistency makes the efficacy of the model employed by the advisor uncertain.
The report concludes:
"Effective pricing for individual advisors can mean different things. It may mean disciplined pricing consistent across product lines, or it may mean making a conscious choice to forgo revenue in one place and reliably recoup it elsewhere. Advisors who do pursue a loss leader pricing strategy need to be certain that pricing on the other half of their business truly is performed at a premium."
The firm suspects this is not happening and recommends advisors examine their books of business very carefully in order to capture lost revenue opportunities.

More and more robots are making a variety of tasks and operations -- such as factory work, picking crops, and even noodle making -- more efficient, and mining is no exception.
Engineers have developed robots to take the human factor out of mining work and provide automation in the process, which not only makes it more efficient, but also less dangerous for the people involved. They also are developing robots that can greatly assist in efforts to rescue trapped miners, making this task also safer for those performing the rescue efforts.
The Copper Cliff Mine 114 Orebody in Sudbury, Ontario, is using a robotic conveyor system to haul materials in and out of mines developed by Rail-Veyor Technologies Global. The Brazilian company that owns the mine, Vale, has been testing and installing the system for about two years and it's now fully operational. "This investment allows us to test new and innovative mining technologies that could dramatically improve mining processes across our operations," said Alex Henderson, a Vale general manager, in a press release.
The system is compact, consisting of a dump truck-like vessel and a conveyor belt with a light rail track that is one third of the weight of an average rail -- 40 pounds versus the typical 120-pound rail, according to the company. This compact design also allows the conveyor system to fit in small places in a mine, such as under bridges and tunnels, where it can clear obstacles. This reduces the cost of underground development of the mine, according to Rail-Veyor.
Rail-Veyor's system is also nimble, traveling at grades up to 20 percent, with a turning radius of 30m. This also makes it more agile to travel in tight spaces, allowing it to go deep into mines where it may be dangerous for humans. GPS and sensor technologies can run the system automatically, though operators above the ground also can monitor it remotely, according to Rail-Veyor.
While Rail-Veyor's system can make typical mine operations more efficient, another company -- Penguin Automated Systems Inc. (ASI) -- has built a robot called the Recon Robot System that can be used in rescue operations in case of a mine collapse or other disaster-type situation. The robots, which mine administrators also can use to evaluate and determine the stability of a mine, can be deployed for rescue operations in case part of the mine caves in and possibly traps miners.
Rescuers can deploy two robots weighing 1,500 pounds each, one to navigate and perform rescue tasks -- such as removing debris out of the path to the surface -- and another as a communications hub to establish contact with operators above ground.
The robot performing work has a navigation system and a boom with an HD camera attached to collect images from the mine, which the robot in charge of communications can receive signals from operators above ground and relay them to the worker robot, according to Penguin ASI.
All told, the robots each have four cameras and batteries that provide 12 hours of life, or six if the robots work at a 45-degree angle, according to Penguin. The company has designed the wheels of the robots -- of which there are eight arranged in pairs -- to allow them to move over debris and large pieces of rock in a mine, or to be fitted with track if appropriate.
Penguin's robots are currently being deployed in a mine in Chile and also have been used to help in recovery efforts when a mall roof collapsed in Elliot Lake, Ontario, earlier this year.

OK, I admit, I tried to master the butterfly, I found an alternate solution, but as it was using force and the butterfly was hurt, it finally had its revenge on me. I was disappointed with myself for doing this and not finding the real solution by myself... If only I had tried one particular move, I might have solved it properly... I wish I forgot how this one is solved, so that I can give it a try once again. Anyway, I would say it is the perfect puzzle. I found many features on it, some of them are not used at all. But I have not found only one feature (why?) which is part of the solution, thus me failing at this one.

A very difficult puzzle, but it is largely just wires and a string tangled together with the solution not being very elegant. I used a bit of force to solve it but if you want the hardest puzzles on here I believe this is one of them.

St. John's wort is a common perennial herb of many branches and bright yellow flowers that grows wild in much of the world. Its name derives from the herb's tendency to flower around the feast of St. John. (A wort simply means plant in Old English.) The species name perforatum derives from the watermarking of translucent dots that can be seen when the leaf is held up to the sun.
St. John's wort has a long history of use in treating emotional disorders. During the Middle Ages, St. John's wort was popular for "casting out demons." In the 1800s, the herb was classified as a nervine, or a treatment for "nervous disorders." When pharmaceutical antidepressants were invented, German researchers began to look for similar properties in St. John's wort.
What Is St. John's Wort Used for Today?
Today, St. John's wort is a widely used treatment for depression in Germany, other parts of Europe, and the United States. The evidence-base for its use approaches that of many modern prescription drugs at the time of their first approval.
Most studies of St. John's wort have evaluated individuals with major depression of mild to moderate intensity. This contradictory-sounding language indicates that the level of depression is more severe than simply feeling "blue." However, it is not as severe as the most severe forms of depression. Typical symptoms include depressed mood, lack of energy, sleep problems, anxiety, appetite disturbance, difficulty concentrating, and poor stress tolerance. Irritability can also be a sign of depression.
Taken as a whole, research suggests that St. John's wort is more effective than placebo and approximately as effective as standard drugs. Furthermore, St. John's wort appears to cause fewer side effects than many antidepressants. However, the herb does present one significant safety risk: it interacts harmfully with a great many standard medications. (See Safety Issues for details.)
St. John's wort has also shown promise for treatment of severe major depression. 107,126Note : St. John's wort alone should never be relied on for the treatment of severe depression. If you or a loved one feels suicidal, unable to cope with daily life, paralyzed by anxiety, incapable of getting out of bed, unable to sleep, or uninterested in eating, see a physician at once. Professional care may be lifesaving.
Besides depression, St. John's wort has also been tried for many other conditions in which prescription antidepressants are thought useful, such as attention deficit disorder , 131anxiety , insomnia , 15menopausal symptoms , 20premenstrual syndrome (PMS) , 19,102seasonal affective disorder (SAD) , 98,99 and social phobia. 103 However, there is as yet no convincing evidence that it offers any benefit for these conditions. One substantial double-blind study did find St. John's wort potentially helpful for somatoform disorders (commonly called psychosomatic illnesses). 104
Standard antidepressants are also often used for diabetic neuropathy and other forms of neuropathy (nerve pain). However, a small double-blind, placebo-controlled trial failed to find St. John's wort effective for this purpose. 16 Another study failed to find St. John's wort helpful for obsessive-compulsive disorder. 115
St. John's wort contains, among other ingredients, the substances hypericin and hyperforin. Early reports suggested that St. John's wort or synthetic hypericin might be useful against viruses such as HIV , but these have not panned out. 17 However, there is some evidence hyperforin may be able to fight certain bacteria, including some that are resistant to antibiotics. 18Note : This evidence is far too preliminary to count St. John's wort as an effective antibiotic.
Based on weak evidence that hypericin might have anti-inflammatory properties, St. John's wort cream has been tried as a treatment for eczema , with some promising results. 100
One interesting double-blind study evaluated a combination therapy containing St. John's wort and black cohosh in 301 women with general menopausal symptoms as well as depression. 116 The results showed that use of the combination treatment was significantly more effective than placebo for both problems.
In a small placebo-controlled trial, hypericin extract showed no benefit for burning mouth syndrome , a poorly understood condition in which a person experiences ongoing moderate to severe pain in the tongue and/or mouth. 129
What Is the Scientific Evidence for St. John's Wort?
There have been two main kinds of studies: those that compared St. John's wort to placebo, and others that compared it to prescription antidepressants. A 2008 detailed review of 29 randomized, placebo controlled trials found that St. Johns wort was consistently more effective than placebo and equally effective to standard antidepressants. 133
Studies of St. John's wort (and other antidepressants) use a set of questions called the Hamilton Depression Index (HAM-D). This scale rates the extent of depression, with higher numbers indicating more serious symptoms.
Double-blind, placebo-controlled trials involving a total of more than 1,500 participants with major depression of mild to moderate severity have generally found that use of St. John's wort can significantly reduce HAM-D scores as compared to placebo. 21-28,89,105,123 In addition, continued treatment with St. Johns Wort over 6 months may be effective at preventing a relapse of moderate depression in patients who recover from an initial acute episode. 132
For example, in a 6-week trial, 375 individuals with average 17-item HAM-D scores of about 22 (indicating major depression of moderate severity) were given either St. John's wort or placebo. 89 Individuals taking St. John's wort showed significantly greater improvement than those taking placebo.
Three double-blind, placebo-controlled trials evaluating individuals with a similar level of depression have failed to find St. John's wort more effective than placebo. 27,85,106 However, three studies cannot overturn a body of positive research. Keep in mind that 35% of double-blind studies involving pharmaceutical antidepressants have also failed to find the active agent significantly more effective than placebo. 85 As if to illustrate this, in two of the three studies in which St. John's wort failed to prove effective, a conventional drug (Zoloft in one case, Prozac in the other) also failed to prove effective. The reason for these negative outcomes is not that Zoloft or Prozac does not work. Rather, statistical effects can easily hide the benefits of a drug, especially in a condition like depression where there is as a high placebo effect and no really precise method of measuring symptoms. Thus, unless a whole series of studies find St. John's wort ineffective, especially trials in which a comparison drug treatment does prove effective, St. John's wort should still be regarded as probably effective for major depression of mild to moderate severity.
At least 8 double-blind trials enrolling a total of more than 1,200 people have compared St. John's wort to fluoxetine (Prozac), citalopram (Celexa), paroxetine (Paxil) or sertraline (Zoloft). 31-33,90,91,107,108,117-118,134 In all of these studies, the herb proved as effective as the drug and generally caused fewer side effects.
In the largest of these trials, a 6-week study of 388 people with major depression of mild-to-moderate severity, St. John's wort proved equally effective as the drug citalopram (Celexa) and more effective than placebo. 118 Additionally, Celexa caused a significantly higher rate of side effects than St. John's wort. There were also significantly more side effects in the placebo group than in the St. John's wort group—presumably because treatment of depression reduces physical symptoms of psychological origin.
St. John's wort has also been compared to older antidepressants, with generally favorable results. 34-38
Like pharmaceutical antidepressants, St. John's wort is thought to raise levels of neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. 6,7
The active ingredient of St. John's wort is not known. Extracts of St. John's wort are most often standardized to the substance hypericin, which has led to the widespread misconception that hypericin is the active ingredient. However, there is no evidence that hypericin itself is an antidepressant. Another ingredient of St. John's wort named hyperforin has shown considerable promise as the most important ingredient. Hyperforin was first identified as a constituent of Hypericum perforatum in 1971 by Russian researchers, but it was incorrectly believed to be too unstable to play a major role in the herb's action. 1 However, subsequent evidence corrected this view. It now appears that standard St. John's wort extract contains about 1% to 6% hyperforin. 2 Evidence from animal and human studies suggests that it is the hyperforin in St. John's wort that raises the levels of neurotransmitters. 8-10 Nonetheless, there may be other active ingredients in St. John's wort also at work. 11,12 In fact, 2 double-blind trials using a form of St. John's wort with low hyperforin content found it effective. 13,14 The bottom line remains that more research is necessary to discover just how St. John's wort acts against depression.
A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 54 people with diabetic neuropathy or other forms of neuropathy (pain, numbness and/or tingling caused by injury to nerves) did not find St. John's wort effective for this purpose. 40
The typical dosage of St. John's wort is 300 mg 3 times a day of an extract standardized to contain 0.3% hypericin. Some products are standardized to hyperforin content (usually 2% to 3%) instead of hypericin. These are usually taken at the same dosage. Two studies found benefits with a single daily dose of 900 mg. 118-119
Yet another form of St. John's wort has shown effectiveness in double-blind studies. This form contains little hyperforin and is taken at a dose of 250 mg twice daily. 41,42 There is some evidence that this form of St. John's wort may be less likely to interact with medications. (See Drug Interactions .)
If the herb bothers your stomach, take it with food.
Remember that the full effect takes 4 weeks to develop. Do not give up too soon!
Safety Issues
St. John's wort taken alone usually does not cause immediate side effects. In a study designed to look for side effects, 3,250 people took St. John's wort for 4 weeks. 43 Overall, about 2.4% reported problems. The most common complaints were mild stomach discomfort (0.6%), allergic reactions—primarily rash—(0.5%), tiredness (0.4%), and restlessness (0.3%). Another study followed 313 individuals treated with St. John's wort for 1 year. 44 The results showed a similarly low incidence of adverse effects.
In the extensive German experience with St. John's wort as a treatment for depression, there have been no published reports of serious adverse consequences from taking the herb alone. 45 Animal studies involving enormous doses of St. John's wort extracts for 26 weeks have not shown any serious effects. 46
However, there are a number of potential safety risks with St. John's wort that should be considered. These are outlined in the following sections.
Cows and sheep grazing on St. John's wort have sometimes developed severe and even fatal sensitivity to the sun. In one study, highly sun-sensitive people were given twice the normal dose of the herb. 47 The results showed a mild but measurable increase in reaction to ultraviolet radiation. Another trial found that a one-time dose of St. John's wort containing 2 or 6 times the normal daily dose did not cause an increased tendency to burn, nor did 7 days of treatment at the normal dose. 83 However, there is a case report of severe and unexpected burning in an individual who used St. John's wort and then received ultraviolet therapy for psoriasis. 48 In addition, two individuals using topical St. John's wort experienced severe reactions to sun exposure. 84
The morals of the story are as follows: if you are especially sensitive to the sun, do not exceed the recommended dose of St. John's wort, and continue to take your usual precautions against burning. If you are receiving UV treatment, do not use St. John's wort at all; and if you apply St. John's wort to your skin, keep that part of your body away from the sun.
In addition, you might get into problems if you combine St. John's wort with other medications that cause increased sun sensitivity, such as sulfa drugs and the anti-inflammatory medication piroxicam (Feldene). The medications omeprazole (Prilosec) and lansoprazole (Prevacid) may also increase the tendency of St. John's wort to cause photosensitivity. 49
Finally, a report suggests that regular use of St. John's wort might also increase the risk of sun-induced cataracts. 50 While this is preliminary information, it may make sense to wear sunglasses when outdoors if you are taking this herb on a long-term basis.
Drug Interactions
Herbal experts have warned for some time that combining St. John's wort with drugs in the Prozac family (SSRIs) might raise serotonin too much and cause a number of serious problems. Recently, case reports of such events have begun to trickle in. 51-53 This is a potentially serious risk. Do not combine St. John's wort with prescription antidepressants except on the specific advice of a physician. Since some antidepressants, such as Prozac, linger in the blood for quite some time, you also need to exercise caution when switching from a drug to St. John's wort.
Antimigraine drugs in the triptan family (such as sumatriptan, or Imitrex) and the pain-killing drug tramadol also raise serotonin levels and might interact similarly with St. John's wort. 54,55
However, perhaps the biggest concern with St. John's wort is that it appears to decrease the effectiveness of numerous medications, including protease inhibitors and reverse transcriptase inhibitors (for HIV infection), cyclosporine and tacrolimus (for organ transplants), digoxin (for heart disease), statin drugs (used for high cholesterol), warfarin (Coumadin) (a blood thinner), chemotherapy drugs, oral contraceptives , tricyclic antidepressants , protein pump inhibitors (like Prilosec), atypical antipsychotics like olanzapine or clozapine (for schizophrenia), anesthetics, and the new heart disease drug ivabradine. 56-67,80,82,87,88,92,93,95,101,109-113,124,125,127,128 In fact, there are theoretical reasons to believe that this herb might reduce the effectiveness or otherwise interact with about 50% of all medications. 114 Furthermore, suppose you are taking St. John's wort while your physician is adjusting the dosage of one of your medications to obtain an optimum balance of efficacy and side effects. A problem may then occur if you subsequently stop taking the herb: blood levels of the drug may then rise, with potentially dangerous consequences.
Note that these proposed interactions are not purely academic: they could lead to catastrophic consequences. Indeed, St. John's wort appears to have caused several cases of heart, kidney, and liver transplant rejection by interfering with the action of cyclosporine.
The herb also appears to decrease the effectiveness of oral contraceptives120 and by doing so is thought to have caused unwanted pregnancies. 68,88
On a less dramatic level, one study showed that among people taking a cholesterol-lowering medication in the statin family, use of St. John's wort caused cholesterol levels to rise. 127 (The same would be expected to occur if you are using red yeast rice to treat high cholesterol, as red yeast rice supplies naturally-occurring statin drugs.)
Finally, some people with HIV take St. John's wort in the false belief that the herb will fight AIDS. The unintended result may be to reduce the potency of standard anti-HIV drugs.
There is some evidence that low-hyperforin St. John's wort may have less potential for drug interactions than other forms of St. John's wort. 121-122,125 Nonetheless, we recommend that people taking any oral or injected medication that is critical to their health or wellbeing should entirely avoid using any form of St. John's wort until more is known; if you are already taking the herb, you should not stop taking it until you can simultaneously have your drug levels monitored. On general principles, we also advise avoid using the herb prior to undergoing general anesthesia.
Safety in Special Circumstances
One animal study found no ill effects on the offspring of pregnant mice. 69 However, these findings alone are not sufficient to establish St. John's wort as safe for use during pregnancy. Furthermore, the St. John's wort constituent hypericin can accumulate in the nucleus of cells and directly bind to DNA. 70 For this reason, pregnant or nursing women should avoid St. John's wort. Furthermore, safety for use by young children or people with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.
Like other antidepressants, case reports suggest that St. John's wort can cause episodes of mania in individuals with bipolar disorder (manic-depressive disease). 71,72
There is also one report of St. John's wort causing temporary psychosis in a person with Alzheimer's disease . 79
Other Concerns
Certain foods contain a substance named tyramine. These foods include aged cheeses, aged or cured meat, sauerkraut, soy sauce, other soy condiments, beer (especially beer on tap), and wine. Drugs in the MAO inhibitor family interact adversely with tyramine, causing severe side effects such as high blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and delirium. One case report suggests that St. John's might present this risk as well. 96 However, other studies suggest that normal doses of St. John's should not cause MAO-like effects. 4,5,97 Until this issue is sorted out, we recommend that individuals taking St. John's wort avoid tyramine-containing foods. Since MAO inhibitors react adversely with stimulant drugs such as Ritalin, ephedrine (found in the herb ephedra ), and caffeine, we also recommend that you avoid combining St. John's wort with them.
One small study suggests that high doses of St. John's wort might slightly impair mental function. 73
One case report associates use of St. John's wort with hair loss. 74 The authors note that standard antidepressants may also cause hair loss at times.
One study raised questions about possible antifertility effects of St. John's wort. When high concentrations of St. John's wort were placed in a test tube with hamster sperm and ova, the sperm were damaged and less able to penetrate the ova. 75 However, since it is unlikely that this much St. John's wort can actually come in contact with sperm and ova when they are in the body rather than in a test tube, these results may not be meaningful in real life.
In one reported case, St. John's Wort may have interacted with the menopause drug tibolone to produce severe liver damage. 130
Transitioning from Medications to St. John's Wort
If you are taking a prescription drug for mild to moderate depression, switching to St. John's wort may be a reasonable idea if you would prefer taking an herb. To avoid overlapping treatments, the safest approach is to stop taking the drug and allow it to wash out of your system before starting St. John's wort. Consult with your doctor on how much time is necessary.
However, if you are taking medication for severe depression, switching over to St. John's wort is not a good idea. The herb probably will not work well enough, and you may sink into a dangerous depression.
Interactions You Should Know About
If you are taking:
- Antidepressant drugs, including MAO inhibitors , SSRIs , and tricyclics , or possibly the drugs tramadol or sumatriptan (Imitrex): Do not take St. John's wort at the same time. Actually, you need to let the medication flush out of your system for a while (perhaps weeks, depending on the drug) before you start the herb.
- Digoxin , cyclosporine and tacrolimus, protease inhibitors or reverse transcriptase inhibitors , oral contraceptives , tricyclic antidepressants , warfarin (Coumadin) , statin drugs , theophylline, chemotherapy drugs, newer antipsychotic medications (such as olanzapine and clozapine ), anesthetics, finasteride (Proscar) 135, or, indeed, any other medications: St. John's wort might cause the drug to be less effective. Furthermore, if you are already taking St. John's wort and your physician adjusts your medication dosage to achieve proper blood levels, suddenly stopping St. John's wort could cause the level of the drug in your body to rebound to dangerously high levels.
- Medications that cause sun sensitivity such as sulfa drugs and the anti-inflammatory medication piroxicam (Feldene) , as well as omeprazole (Prilosec) or lansoprazole (Prevacid) : Keep in mind that St. John's wort might have an additive effect.
- Stimulant drugs or herbs such as Ritalin, caffeine, or ephedrine ( ephedra ): It is possible that St. John's wort might interact adversely with them.

Other Proposed Natural Treatments
- Antioxidants ( Vitamin C , Vitamin E , Lipoic Acid )
- Glutamine
- High-Carbohydrate Diet
- Magnesium
- Milk Thistle
- Rhodiola rosea
Probably Not Effective Treatments
Acute mountain sickness is a set of symptoms caused by the lower pressure and reduced amount of oxygen at high altitudes (above 7,000 feet). The symptoms are headache, dizziness, shortness of breath, fatigue, and nausea, or, in serious cases, extreme fatigue, impaired motor control, and fluid accumulation in the brain and lungs. In general, the greater the altitude and the more rapid the ascent, the greater the likelihood of severe symptoms. Many deaths on Mt. Everest and other high mountains can be attributed to the effects of altitude sickness. However, in most cases, altitude sickness is a benign condition that afflicts people from sea level when they go on a ski vacation or hiking in the mountains.
The best treatment for altitude sickness is prevention. Individuals planning an ascent of high mountains such as Mt. Everest should take as much time as possible to acclimate to the starting elevation. Keep in mind that full adjustment to the reduced oxygen content of the air may take several weeks. In general, ascents should be gradual. One recommendation suggests 2 days for an 8,000-foot elevation gain plus 1 day for each 1,000 to 2,000 feet afterwards. 1
However, such recommendations are not practical for people who fly to a vacation destination, such as a ski resort, and must deal with the effects of reduced oxygen all at once. To prevent or treat mild cases of altitude sickness, you should drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol, caffeine, and salty foods. If severe symptoms develop, the best response is to descend as rapidly as possible.
Conventional treatments include acetazolamide or dexamethasone for prevention or treatment of mild altitude sickness, and nifedipine for people prone to pulmonary edema. 2 Ibuprofen and related drugs may help with headache.
A double-blind trial of 18 mountaineers climbing to the Mt. Everest base camp found that use of an antioxidant vitamin supplement (providing 1,000 mg of vitamin C , 400 IU of vitamin E , and 600 mg of lipoic acid daily) significantly improved symptoms of altitude sickness as compared to placebo. 8 Treatment was begun 3 weeks prior to ascent and continued during the 10 days of climbing. However, this was a very small study, and its results cannot be taken as reliable. Another small study using similar antioxidants in a similar manner found that use of antioxidants might offer benefits in the first couple of days of high altitude ascent, but that these benefits decline with acclimatisation. 13
Three small, double-blind trials enrolling a total of about 100 people found preliminary evidence that use of the herb Ginkgo biloba can help prevent altitude sickness. 3,9,14 However, a large scale double-blind study enrolling 614 people, failed to find benefit. 10 (The drug acetazolamide, however, did provide significant benefits compared to placebo.) A similarly designed smaller study, enrolling 57 people, also failed to find ginkgo effective. 15 Overall, the balance of evidence suggests that ginkgo is not effective for this purpose.
High-carbohydrate meals are sometimes recommended for preventing altitude sickness. The reasoning is that carbohydrate ingestion increases carbon dioxide production, which in turn stimulates an increased rate of breathing. 4 However, studies on this treatment have resulted in contradictory results. 5,6,7
Magnesium , glutamine , and milk thistle , alone or in combination, have been suggested for altitude sickness, but there is no meaningful evidence that they work. The herb Rhodiola rosea has also been proposed as an altitude sickness treatment, but current evidence is more negative than positive. 11 One study of the supplement arginine found that it increased elevation-related headaches. 12

Virtually no medicinal herb has been established as safe in pregnancy or breast-feeding, and even herbs that might seem safe because of their wide use in cooking could cause problems when they are taken in the form of highly concentrated extracts. For example, based on food use, it is unlikely that cookedgarlic presents much risk; however, garlic supplements contain certain rather potent and potentially toxic ingredients present only in raw garlic. Few people eat large quantities of raw garlic on a regular basis, and therefore there is no long history of use to reassure us.
Some herbs are definitely known to be toxic in pregnancy, such as blue cohosh and pennyroyal . Other herbs that are traditionally regarded with caution during pregnancy include andrographis , boldo , catnip , essential oils , feverfew , juniper , licorice , nettle , red clover , rosemary , shepherd's purse, and yarrow , along with many others. 1
Modern research has raised concerns about many other herbs, as well. For example, the herb chasteberry has shown a theoretical potential for inhibiting milk supply. In addition, herbs with estrogen-like properties make scientists worry about possible effects on the fetus; these include soy , isoflavones , red clover , flaxseed , lignans , and hops .
There are also theoretical concerns that high intake of green tea could increase risk of birth defects by interfering with folate levels . 12
Further health concerns exist with traditional Chinese herbal combinations and Ayurvedic herbal combinations . These products have been found on occasion to contain toxic heavy metals, poisonous herbs, or unlabelled prescription drugs. 4,11 For example, in one case report, a brain-damaged child born to a mother using an Ayurvedic formula was found to have the highest bloods levels of lead ever recorded in a living newborn. 11 Analysis of the formula revealed a very high lead content, along with toxic levels of mercury. In general, it is probably accurate to say that noherb can be regarded as definitely benign. 2
Supplements that are essential nutrients, such as vitamins, generally have a known maximum safe intake level during pregnancy and nursing, and these are discussed in the relevant articles in this database. However, other supplements that are not essential nutrients are in much the same position as herbs, and they could conceivably cause harm. For example, the supplement conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) appears to reduce the fat content of breast milk, with potentially harmful effects on the nursing infant, 3chitosan may cause impaired nutrient absorption, and at times may contain arsenic. (Contamination with toxic substances is also a real possibility with one nutrient supplement: certain calcium supplements have been found to contain high levels of lead.)
Nonetheless, many herbs and supplements have a high enough safety factor that researchers have felt comfortable giving them to pregnant women. For more information on a particular herb or supplement, see its entry in the Herbs & Supplements database .

East Lyme — It's happening here — and in other small towns and cities, both rich and poor, across the state and nation.
That was the message Wednesday afternoon at a community forum on heroin addiction and the need to do more to address it.
Police, town officials, school principals, residents and health representatives filled the Town Hall meeting room and candidly shared why they attended.
East Lyme has had two fatal heroin overdoses in the past year, police Sgt. Wilfred Blanchette said, and emergency personnel have responded to an overdose call at least every other week.
"We are doing what we can," he said. "Certainly, we can do more - and we need to do more. Just the fact that the community has rallied together like this shows what support we have."
Blanchette said heroin use often starts with prescription drug use that turns into an addiction. Heroin then can follow as a cheaper alternative to prescription drugs for those who become addicted.
To help address the issue, the town provides a drop box at the police station, where 500 pounds of unwanted prescription narcotics were collected last year, he said. The town also recently sponsored a youth program to build rapport with police, and also brings programs to town, through the Ledge Light Health District, to combat drug use.
Some at the forum shared personal stories to address the realities of heroin and its effects on families.
One resident, Diane, said her 18-year-old son, who has been using heroin for two years and had just admitted himself into a treatment center Wednesday night, began with marijuana and then turned to pills. He had a history of chronic pain and had been put on medication in the hospital and then released.
"I am here to tell you that it is real," she said. "Definitely watch kids that are insecure about themselves. That was one way that he could show up at a party with all sorts of things and be the life of the party. And then you find out later that those really weren't your friends."
She said heroin use reaches family members, who are not always fully aware of their loved one's drug abuse, though there may be suspicions. She added that her son was able to purchase heroin not only in cities, but also in East Lyme.
"It is real," she said, "and I just hope everyone pays close attention to it."
Calling heroin addiction a "silent epidemic," First Selectman Paul Formica said he organized Wednesday's forum to begin talking about "a problem that doesn't seem to get enough conversation in our community and in communities throughout the state."
Heroin contributed to 257 fatal, accidental overdoses in Connecticut last year. In New London County, the number of deaths related to heroin grew from 23 in 2012 to 34 in 2013.
Formica, who serves on a Connecticut Conference of Municipalities task force that addresses heroin among other issues, said he has spoken with mayors and selectmen across the state about heroin use, which is not confined to poor, urban areas, but is a problem in all cities and towns.
"It's going to touch all of us at one point or another, and it's just time to talk about it," he said, adding that he wants to raise awareness and work together to find solutions to the issue.
Formica proposed extending drug prevention programs, like D.A.R.E., which ends in fifth grade, to older students.
School administrators also spoke about building resources.
"We are seeing a rise in this issue, and we need help," East Lyme High School Principal Michael Susi said. "We need to get a better understanding of what we are dealing with and collaborate with the town and the resources that are out there and try to help some of the students."
Health agencies and clinics outlined some available resources at the forum. For example, Ledge Light, a regional provider of health services, offers prescription guidelines to doctors and speaks to high school students about not taking prescription drugs that don't belong to them.
The Southeastern Regional Action Council, a prevention and intervention program, surveys high school students about their drug use and speaks to local real estate agents about removing medications from homes when they hold open houses.
The state Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services showed a video, available online, about Narcan - also called naloxone - which reverses opioid overdoses. A 2012 law allows prescribers to write a prescription for Narcan for anyone who needs it, according to DMHAS regional manager, Rhonda Kincaid.
Assistant Superintendent of Schools Brian Reas spoke about the need to inform people about resources and where they can go for help.
Information on addiction will be available at Town Hall and on the town's website, www.eltownhall.com.

Specific Questions to Ask Your Healthcare Provider
- Is there anything in my medical history to warrant a look at and biopsy of my esophagus?
- How do I know if my heartburn is being treated adequately to prevent it from becoming cancer?
- What treatments do you recommend?
- Please explain the risks and benefits of each treatment.
- How effective are these treatments?
- What is the long-term outlook for this type of cancer?
- Can you refer me to an organized support group so I can talk to others who have had similar experiences?
- Please connect me with a pain treatment center.
- Do I need a nutritionist?
- How severe do my swallowing symptoms need be before I should seek intervention to prevent lung complications?
- How will different treatment options affect my quality of life?
- When should I consider hospice care?
- What can hospice care offer my family and me?
- When should I bring my family in for open progress reports?
- What legal considerations do I need to better manage my health?
When to Contact Your Healthcare Provider
You will be in frequent contact with your healthcare team. Arrange a time to discuss these important issues and events:
- Before choosing a recommended treatment
- When you are not maintaining your weight
- When you are aspirating (inhaling) food, liquids, or saliva
- When your pain relief is insufficient
- When care in your present situation is inadequate or an excessive burden on your caretakers

Mini Biog
I was educated at Latymer Upper School, London, and at the University of Nottingham where I eventually joined the academic staff. After 41 years service, I retired from the Chair of Organisational Psychology in 2012.
During my time at Nottingham, I became Head of what was then the Department of Psychology (1994-1998). In 1999, I established the Institute of Work, Health & Organisations as a new international postgraduate research school. I stood down as its Founding Director in 2010 and took a year's sabbatical before retiring from the University in 2012 to join Birkbeck University of London as its new Chair of Occupational Health Psychology & Management.
I was awarded a CBE in the New Years Honours List 2000 for services to occupational health. This award was largely related to my role in the development of the Management Standards approach to work-related stress and psychosocial risks to employee health. The following year, 2003, I was made an Honorary Fellow of both the Faculty of Occupational Medicine, Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (Dublin) and of the Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors. In 2008, I was presented with an award for a Distinguished Contribution to Occupational Health Psychology jointly by the American Psychological Association, the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and the US Society for Occupational Health Psychology. In 2012, I was awarded an Honorary Chair in Psychosocial Oncology by the University of Aberdeen and an Emeritus Chair by the University of Nottingham.
I founded the journal Work & Stress in the late 1980s with my colleague, Professor Phillip Dewe, and stood down as its Managing Editor some 27 years later at the end of 2013.

text: Friday, October 07, 2011 2011 APTA State Legislative Award Winners Announced During State Forum The 2011 APTA State Legislative Awards were presented September 24 during APTA's State Policy & Payment Forum in Austin, Texas. For their individual leadership on legislation advancing or defending Vision 2020 in the state arena over the past year, the 2011 State Legislative Leadership Awards were presented to Paul Gaspar, PT, DPT, CCS, of the California Chapter, and Marcia Smith, PT, PhD, of the Colorado Chapter. Gasper was recognized for his work on the successful defeat of California Assembly Bill 783, which would have nullified the current California law that prohibits physician referral for profit in physical therapy (POPTS). Smith was recognized for her leadership on the passage this year of Colorado Senate Bill 169, the new Colorado Physical Therapy Practice Act. In recognition of their long-term commitment to their chapters' state advocacy activities over several years and for consistently providing assistance in the statehouse, APTA's Board of Directors awarded the 2011 State Legislative Commitment Award to Jim Stoker, PT, SCS, of South Carolina, Emmett Parker, PT, MS, ATC, of Alabama, and Eric Wilson, PT, of Texas. Stoker, who has worked tirelessly over the last several years defending the current South Carolina anti-POPTS law from repeal, has been a key leader in improving and coordinating the South Carolina Chapter's advocacy and lobbying resources. Parker was recognized for his many years of service as legislative chair for the Alabama Chapter and his work on new initiatives in support of direct access legislation in Alabama. In his role as chairman of the Texas Chapter's Government Affairs Committee, Wilson significantly improved the chapter's legislative and lobbying efforts, resulting in considerable progress toward the passage of legislation to improve direct access in 2011, as well as record fundraising for the chapter's political action committee. This year's forum was a combined meeting of the annual State Government Affairs Forum and APTA's reimbursement chairs meeting and drew almost 200 attendees—making it the largest state forum to date. Session topics included PT co-pay legislation direct access, POPTS, using social media and PR in an advocacy campaigns, concussion legislation, silent Preferred Provider Organizations, Accountable Care Organizations, PT/PTA payment differential, and more. The successful event was co-hosted by the Texas Chapter. The 2012 State Policy & Payment Forum will be held December 1-3, 2012, in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, in conjunction with APTA's Board of Directors meeting.

Trainers Speak Out on Demand for Green Retrofit Workforce
A version of this article appears in the July/August 2009 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
July 01, 2009
The demand is there to create a new green economy, but do we have the trained workforce to begin the job?
More than 70 leading trainers recently shared views on how to meet the new demand for workers in the home energy retrofit market. Affordable Comfort, Incorporated, (ACI) hosted a Trainer Forum and a Green Jobs Day at its Home Performance Conference 2009, held in Kansas City. Both forums built on ACI's Green Workforce Development Summit and White Paper, sponsored by DOE in July 2008. Trainers across the country have been in extreme demand as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and the new policy focus on energy reduction in existing homes. Important other drivers, such as the Green Jobs Act of 2007, climate change initiatives, tax credits, and Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards, reinforce this energy efficiency focus and have stimulated the entry of a host of new stakeholders into the retrofit market. Longtime trainers agree that more trainers and training opportunities are needed immediately to satisfy the current demand for new workers across the whole range of home energy retrofit job classifications. Their work at the ACI Trainer Forum provides some guidance for new stakeholders and serves as a reminder of the resources that have grown out of 30 years of experience in weatherization and home performance retrofit. ACI ...

Native Steam on Linux
Install steam from the multilib repository.
Steam makes heavy usage of the Arial font. A decent Arial font to use is ttf-liberation or the official Microsoft Arial fonts: ttf-microsoft-arialAUR or ttf-ms-fontsAUR packages from the AUR. Asian languages require wqy-zenhei to display properly.
Steam is not supported on this distribution. As such some fixes are needed on the users part to get things functioning properly. Several games have dependencies which may be missing from your system. If a game fails to launch (often without error messages) then make sure all of the libraries listed below that game are installed. Please install libtxc_dxtn and lib32-libtxc_dxtn with mesa drivers as almost all games require it.
GUI problems with KDE
- Valve GitHub issue 594
If you are using KDE and you have problems with the GUI (such as lag or random crashes), in KDE system settings, go to "Desktop Effects" in the "Workspace Appearance and Behaviour" section. Open the "Advanced" tab. Change "Compositing type" from XRender to OpenGL.
- Valve GitHub issue 1025
To close the Steam window (and remove it from the taskbar) when you press x, but keep Steam running in the tray, set the environment variable
STEAM_FRAME_FORCE_CLOSE to
1. You can do this by launching Steam using the following command.
$ STEAM_FRAME_FORCE_CLOSE=1 steam
Flash not working on 64-bit systems
- Steam Support article
First ensure lib32-flashplugin is installed. It should be working at this point, if not create a local Steam flash plugin folder
mkdir ~/.steam/bin32/plugins/
and set a symbolic link to the global lib32 flash plugin file in your upper new folder
ln -s /usr/lib32/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so ~/.steam/bin32/plugins/
Text is corrupt or missing
The Steam Support instructions for Windows seem to work on Linux also: Simply download SteamFonts.zip and install them (copying to ~/.fonts/ works at least).
Error on some games: S3TC support is missing
Install the following dependencies:
Black screen on (Valve?) games (but audio works)
Check the Steam stdout/stderr for Error lines, some quick dependencies for reference:
- lib32-intel-dri (not confirmed as absolutely necessary)
run steam from console via primusrun steam
If using KDE, disable all desktop effects (Alt + Shift + F12) before starting Steam.
SetLocale('en_US.UTF-8') fails at game startup
Edit /etc/locale.gen in your favourite editor and uncomment the line
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8. Then run
locale-gen as root.
Launching games with custom commands, such as Bumblebee/Primus
Steam has fortunately added support for launching games using your own custom command. To do so, navigate to the Library page, right click on the selected game, click Properties, and Set Launch Options. Steam replaces the tag %command% with the command it actually wishes to run. For example, to launch Team Fortress 2 with primusrun and at resolution 1920x1080, you would enter:
primusrun %command% -w 1920 -h 1080
If you are running the Linux-ck kernel, you may have some success in reducing overall latencies and improving performance by launching the game in SCHED_ISO (low latency, avoid choking CPU) via schedtool
schedtool -I -e %command% <other arguments>
Skins for Steam
The Steam interface can be fully customized by copying its various interface files in its skins directory and modifying them.
Steam Skin Manager
The process of applying a skin to Steam can be greatly simplified using steam-skin-managerAUR from the AUR. The package also comes with a hacked version of the Steam launcher which allows the window manager to draw its borders on the Steam window.
As a result, skins for Steam will come in two flavors, one with and one without window buttons. The skin manager will prompt you whether you use the hacked version or not, and will automatically apply the theme corresponding to your GTK theme if it is found. You can of course still apply another skin if you want.
The package ships with two themes for the default Ubuntu themes, Ambiance and Radiance. A Faience theme is under development and already has its own package on the AUR steam-skin-faience-gitAUR.
Steam on Wine
Install wine from the official repositories and follow the instructions provided in the article.
Install the required Microsoft fonts ttf-microsoft-tahomaAUR and ttf-ms-fontsAUR from the AUR or through winetricks-svnAUR.
If you have an old Wine prefix (
~/.wine), you should remove it and let Wine create a new one to avoid problems (you can transfer over anything you want to keep to the new Wine prefix).
Download and run the Steam installer from steampowered.com. It is no longer an
.exe file so you have to start it with
$ msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi
Starting Steam
On x86:
$ wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam/Steam.exe
On x86_64 (with steam installed to a clean wine prefix):
$ wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/Steam.exe
Alternatively, you may use this method:
$ wine "C:\\Program Files\\Steam\\steam.exe"
You should consider making an alias to easily start steam (and put it in your shell's rc file), example:
alias steam='wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/Steam.exe >/dev/null 2>&1 &'
Consider disabling wine debugging output by adding this to your shell rc file:
export WINEDEBUG=-all
or, just add it to your steam alias to only disable it for steam:
alias steam='WINEDEBUG=-all wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/Steam.exe >/dev/null 2>&1 &'
Additionally, Source games rely on a paged pool memory size specification for audio, and WINE by default does not have this set. To set it:
wine reg add "HKLM\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Memory Management\\" /v PagedPoolSize /t REG_DWORD /d 402653184 /f
Application Launch Options
Go to "Properties" -> "Set Launch Options", e.g.:
-console -dxlevel 90 -width 1280 -height 1024
Activate the console in the application to change detailed applications settings.
Set the application's DirectX level, e.g. 90 for DirectX Version 9.0. It is recommended to use the video card's DirectX version to prevent crashes. See the official Valve Software Wiki http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/DirectX_Versions for details.
Set the screen resolution. In some cases the graphic settings are not saved in the application and the applications always starts in the default resolution. Please refer to http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Launch_options for a complete list of launch options.
Using a Pre-Existing Steam Install
If you have a shared drive with Windows, or already have a Steam installation somewhere else, you can simply symlink the Steam directory to
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/ . However, be sure to do all the previous steps in this wiki. Confirm Steam launches and logs into your account, then do this:
cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/ mv Steam/ Steam.backup/ (or you can just delete the directory) ln -s /mnt/windows_partition/Program\ Files/Steam/
steamapps subdirectory in your existing wine steam folder instead.
sudo mount --bind /path/to/SteamApps ~/.local/share/Steam/SteamApps -ouser=your-user-name , this is the only thing that worked for me with
Running Steam in a second X Server
Assuming you are using the script above to start Steam, make a new script, called
x.steam.sh. You should run this when you want to start Steam in a new X server, and
steam.sh if you want Steam to start in the current X server.
If due to misconfiguration a black screen is shown, you could always close down the second X server by pressing Template:Keypress + Template:Keypress + Template:Keypress.
#!/bin/bash DISPLAY=:1.0 xinit $HOME/steam.sh $* -- :1
Now you can use Template:Keypress + Template:Keypress + Template:Keypress to get to your first X server with your normal desktop, and Template:Keypress + Template:Keypress + Template:Keypress to go back to your game.
Because the second X server is only running the game and the first X server with all your programs is backgrounded, performance should increase. In addition, it is much more convenient to switch X servers while in game to access other resources, rather than having to exit the game completely or Template:Keypress-Template:Keypress out. Finally, it is useful for when Steam or WINE goes haywire and leaves a bunch of processes in memory after Steam crashes. Simply Template:Keypress + Template:Keypress + Template:Keypress on the second X server to kill that X and all processes on that desktop will terminate as well.
If you get errors that look like "Xlib: connection to ":1.0" refused by server" when starting the second X: You will need to adjust your X permissions.
If you lose the ability to use the keyboard while using Steam: This is an odd bug that does not happen with other games. A solution is to use a WM in the second X as well. Thankfully, you do not need to run a large WM. Openbox and icewm have been confirmed to fix this bug (evilwm, pekwm, lwm do not work), but the icewm taskbar shows up on the bottom of the game, thus it's recommended to use Openbox. Install openbox from the official repositories, then add
openbox & to the top of your
steam.sh file. Note you can run other programs (ex. Teamspeak &) or set X settings (ex. xset, xmodmap) before the WINE call as well.
Steam Links in Firefox, Chrome, Etc
To make steam:// urls in your browser connect with steam in wine, there are several things you can do. One involves making steam url-handler keys in gconf, another involves making protocol files for kde, others involve tinkering with desktop files or the Local State file for chromium. These seem to only work in firefox or under certain desktop configurations. One way to do it that works more globally is using mimeo, a tool made by Xyne (an Arch TU) which follows. For another working and less invasive (but firefox-only) way, see the first post here .
- Make
/usr/bin/steamwith your favorite editor and paste:
#!/bin/sh # # Steam wrapper script # exec wine "c:\\program files\\steam\\steam.exe" "$@"
- Make it executable.
# chmod +x /usr/bin/steam
- Install mimeoAUR and xdg-utils-mimeoAUR from AUR. You will need to replace the existing xdg-utils if installed. In XFCE, you will also need xorg-utils.
- Create
~/.config/mimeo.confwith your favorite editor and paste:
/usr/bin/steam %u ^steam://
- Lastly, open
/usr/bin/xdg-openin your favorite editor. Go to the
detectDE()section and change it to look as follows:
detectDE() { #if [ x"$KDE_FULL_SESSION" = x"true" ]; then DE=kde; #elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome; #elif `dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.GetNameOwner string:org.gnome.SessionManager > /dev/null 2>&1` ; then DE=gnome; #elif xprop -root _DT_SAVE_MODE 2> /dev/null | grep ' = \"xfce4\"$' >/dev/null 2>&1; then DE=xfce; #elif [ x"$DESKTOP_SESSION" == x"LXDE" ]; then DE=lxde; #else DE="" #fi DE="" }
- Restart the browser and you should be good to go. In chromium, you cannot enter a
steam://link in the url box like you can with firefox. The forum link above has a
steam://open/friendslink to try if needed.
No text rendered problem
If there is no text/font rendered when starting steam you should try to start steam with the parameter
-no-dwrite. Read more in the forum thread about it.
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Steam/Steam.exe -no-dwrite

Periodontal disease often refers to bacterial plaque and infections around the gum and tooth root. It can happen around one or several teeth. In some cases, the gum tissue is damaged or shrinks. In its more advanced stages, surgery to create new gum tissue (and even bone growth) can be done. There are several techniques used to encourage new gum growth using donor tissue, man-made material, or tissue from the roof of your mouth.
Periodontal Disease
Reasons for Procedure
This surgery is needed to:
- Cover tooth roots that are exposed, which can lead to bone loss and decay
- Reduce tooth sensitivity
- Even out gum tissue due to reduce further recession
Not all grafts are successful over time. The level of disease and your personal care routines will affect success.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your periodontist will review potential problems, like:
- Changes in gum appearance such as an uneven gum line
- Graft may move out of place, which can result in needing another procedure
- Bleeding, which can lead to a hematoma
- Infection
- Swelling
- Reaction to the sedation
Before your procedure, talk to your periodontist about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
- Tell your periodontist of any recent changes to your health, medications, allergies, or supplements.
- Take your prescription medications, unless your periodontist says otherwise.
- Talk to your periodontist or pharmacist if you are taking more than one drug. Some drugs can be dangerous when mixed. This includes over-the-counter medications and herb or dietary supplements.
- You may be asked to take an antibiotic before surgery.
- Arrange for a ride if you are having sedation.
Sometimes, sedative medications are used to make you more relaxed during surgery. If you are undergoing conscious sedation, you will be asked to not eat for at least 6 hours before surgery. Otherwise, you can follow a normal diet.
A local anesthetic will be used near the affected gum area.
Your periodontist may recommend conscious sedation. You will be awake, but will have no anxiety during the surgery.
Description of Procedure
This surgery is usually done in an outpatient setting. You do not need to stay overnight. If you are undergoing sedation, the periodontist or nurse will place an IV in your arm to deliver medication. Your heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing will be monitored during and after the surgery.
The periodontist will numb the affected area with a local anesthetic delivered through a needle. The periodontist will make a small cut in the roof of your mouth and remove surface and/or connective (under the surface) tissue. This is the donor tissue that will be used for the graft. This area will then be stitched closed.
The new tissue flap will be repositioned on the damaged gum line and stitched into place. A dressing will be applied. A piece of mesh is sometimes placed between the gum and tooth to encourage growth.
If there is not enough donor tissue available on you, tissue from another person or man-made materials may be used.
How Long Will It Take?
The time it takes to complete the surgery depends on the level of damage and how much of the gum areas are affected.
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
Post-procedure Care
During your stay, the staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing their hands
- Wearing gloves or masks
- Keeping your incisions covered
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
- Washing your hands often and reminding your healthcare providers to do the same
- Reminding your healthcare providers to wear gloves or masks
- Not allowing others to touch your incision
Healing will take place over the next 4-8 weeks. During this time, pain and swelling can be managed with ice packs, medication, and changes to your diet. Changes may include eating soft or bland foods. You may have to restrict activity for a few days. Be sure to follow your periodontist's instructions.
Call Your Periodontist
It is important for you to monitor your recovery. Alert your periodontist to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your periodontist:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, a lot of bleeding, or any unusual discharge from the surgical site(s)
- Pain and swelling that is not controlled with the medications given
- The dressing or stitches become loose or are uncomfortable
- Loose tissue
- Continued swelling after 48 hours
- Persistent nausea and vomiting
- New or unexpected symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Finding Charts
You are here
By default the observer will use the optical Digital Sky Survery or the 2MASS image of the field in the Position Editor to identify the target during acquisition. An additional finding chart should be provided any time there are uncertainties about the identity of the target, e.g. crowded fields or very faint sources. If in doubt, submit a finding chart!
Finding charts should be submitted to Gemini using the File Attachment tab of the Gemini Science Program component in the Program Editor.
Finding charts should follow these guidelines:
- The target position must be clearly and correctly indicated.
- Indicate if the target is a transient and whether it is actually displayed on the chart.
- The name of the file should clearly indicate the target name
- The description in the File Attachment tab should be in the format '[N1,N2, ...] Finder' where N1, N2, etc are the obsid numbers of the observations associated with that finding chart.
- North and East must be clearly indicated. It is best to follow the convention of North up and East to the left.
- The image scale must be indicated with a scale bar annotated with the length in arcseconds or arcminutes.
- The filter or wavelength range of the image must be indicated.
- Longslit or IFU finding charts should show the position of the slit or IFU field.
- The entire instrument field-of-view should be shown.
- The recommended file formats are GIF, JPEG, TIFF, and PPM (pgm, ppm, png). Postscript and PDF are also acceptable. FITS format should not be used for finding charts.
The following is an example of a good
finding chart. The bandpass and source of the image is given and
the orientation, scale, target, and offset star are clearly marked.
The following is an example of a good spectroscopic finding chart. The orientation is given and the two objects that should be in the slit are clearly marked.
The following is a poor finding chart. The target is indicated but the orientation, scale, bandpass and instrument field-of-view are not given.

There are other SEA LIFE attractions in Germany in Hannover, Berlin, Munich, Königswinter, Constance and Speyer and at Legoland Deutschland in Günzburg.
There is so much to explore at SEA LIFE Adventure Park, including the SEA LIFE aquarium, the outdoor playground, the log flume and lots of other smaller rides. Located right next door to the CentrO leisure complex in Oberhausen, it's an unforgettable day out for all the family!
SEA LIFE Adventure Park in Oberhausen offers a fantastic mix of thrilling fairground rides and mesmerising marine life. The 8.5-hectare site is split into amazing theme worlds full of adventure and discoveries, including an icy expedition to the South Pole and encounters with some lively Gentoo penguins. Explore the SEA LIFE Adventure Park from inside one of the African safari Jeeps or hop on the Shanghai Express for a journey to the Far East. Two free-fall slides and four water slides – the longest measuring twelve metres – guarantee smiles all round. It's a similar story at the adventure playground where younger guests can run wild on rope bridges, climbing frames, towers and slides or splash around in the water playground. You can also turn treasure hunter for the day – try panning for gold and see who can find the biggest piece. Reach for the sky bouncing high on the trampoline, or race to be the fastest through the hedge maze. The SEA LIFE Aquarium's 50 tanks and pools are home to more than 5,000 marine creatures – from clownfish and jellyfish to rays, sharks and seahorses. The SEA LIFE Aquarium and the SEA LIFE Adventure Park – it's a marriage made in heaven!
The park's behind-the-scenes tour takes you on a fascinating journey into the working world of the SEA LIFE aquarists. Step backstage in the huge aquarium and discover the technology behind the tropical tank, which holds 1.5 million litres of water. Take a sneak-peek at the breeding pools, where young marine creatures are cared for by the aquarists until they are big enough to join the adult species in the main tank. Your guide then takes you through to the kitchen, where all the delicious treats are prepared for the aquatic residents. Here you can look at the feed and animal snacks up close under the microscope. For an unforgettable view of the tropical ocean tank, climb aboard the glass-bottomed boat. And, don't miss your chance to meet the marine life in the interactive touchpool, where you can stroke a starfish, find out what anemone tentacles feel like and pick up a shrimp or crab in your hands!

With only two days left before the Treasury runs out of authority to borrow money, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Tuesday afternoon that a deal to raise the debt ceiling and end the government shutdown was "still far off."
Carney said during his daily briefing that while the administration was "encouraged by the progress we've seen in the Senate … we're far from a deal at this point."
House Republican leaders pulled the plug Tuesday afternoon on their own plan that they had announced only hours before. House GOP leaders said the plan they floated, which would deprive members of Congress, the president, the vice president and White House political appointees of government contributions when they buy health insurance under the Affordable Care Act's new exchanges, would likely fail to muster enough votes.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said that House Republicans had made "no decisions about what exactly we will do." Said Boehner: "We're trying to find a way forward in a bipartisan way that would continue to provide fairness to the American people under Obamacare."
The Wall Street Journal quoted a House Republican aide as saying that leaders were making changes to the proposal after getting feedback from rank-and-file members. "Some members suggested specific changes on a handful of issues that would increase support, and leaders are discussing those suggestions now," the aide told the Journal.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the Senate had been "blindsided" by the House GOP plan. He called the plan "an extreme bill [that] is nothing more than a blatant attack on bipartisanship."
Hopes were raised over the weekend that a deal was at hand as Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., were attempting to reach an agreement. Reid said Tuesday that "the measure [that was] under discussion in the House is no part of what we've negotiated here in the Senate."
Reid argued that the Republican bill would "make unacceptable, major changes to Obamacare."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down more than 100 points in midafternoon trading.
Yale economist and recennt Nobel winner Robert Shiller told CNBC on Tuesday that the fight in Congress was "not necessarily bad for the stock market."
"The Republicans want rich people to keep the money," he said. "That has to be good for the stock market. Of course, bad for the stock market is the reputational loss that this country could lose. So it's a wash."
Political Strategist Greg Valliere of Potomac Research opined in his Tuesday morning commentary that the worst-case scenario would be if "Boehner decides he can't abandon his troops – and, potentially, his job – [and] the House attaches anti-Obamacare provisions to the Senate bill or funds the government for only a few weeks, beginning a round of legislative ping-pong that could last for days, well past the Oct. 17 deadline."

PIMCO star manager Bill Gross' bond ETF may have been the biggest exchange-traded story of 2012, having gone from zero to nearly $4 billion in assets under management in a matter of months.
The infant ETF, just 10 months old, is not only asset-rich but novel in another way. It is one of the first and few actively managed ETFs, a tiny segment of the exchange-traded marketplace accounting for less than 1% of the $1.4 trillion in ETF assets.
Indeed, though the number of actively managed ETFs has risen to 53, the PIMCO Total Return ETF (BOND) alone accounts for close to 40% of that segment's $10.6 billion in assets.
But the removal of a key regulatory barrier that may have limited the growth of actively managed ETFs in the past three years could augur for growth in this corner of the ETF sphere, according to asset management attorney Richard Morris.
In an interview with AdvisorOne, Morris (right) cited the SEC's lifting of the moratorium on the use of derivatives by actively managed funds that use derivatives as one of the key developments in ETF regulation that could impact the retail level of ETF investors this year.
Announced by the SEC's director of investment management, Norm Champ, in December, the lifting of the moratorium was accompanied by a "no-action" letter, clearing the way for asset managers to expand in or enter the actively managed ETF space for the first time.
"The likely outcome of the lifting of the ban on the use of derivatives in actively managed ETFs is that we'll see new types of ETFs entering the marketplace and an expansion of the types of strategies used by ETFs," Morris says. "The change may prompt asset managers that may have been on the sidelines to enter the market."
The attorney, a partner of New York-based Morgan, Lewis & Bockius and formerly general counsel of WisdomTree Asset Management, says the move puts ETFs on more of a level playing field with traditional mutual funds with respect to use of derivatives.
"The change does not impact the ETF listing process overseen by the SEC's Division of Trading and Markets," Morris adds. "Industry participants are looking for further action to shorten the process used to list active ETFs on exchanges."
Not only does the lifting of the moratorium on derivatives use level the playing field between ETFs and traditional mutual funds, but it also levels the field between new and early entrants in the actively managed ETF space, Morris says:
"The imposition of the moratorium in 2010 created a regulatory dichotomy. Those sponsors that had already obtained exemptive relief were able to use derivatives."
While the regulatory change could alter the ETF landscape in 2013, there remains reason for doubt, according to ETFguide.com and AdvisorOne contributor Ron DeLegge.
"The ultimate question is will more active mangers opt in favor of the ETF format," DeLegge said in an interview. "If I'm an active manager, the ETF format is not something I'm interested in. The fees are brutal; you can charge more in a hedge fund or mutual funds. You also have transparency: I don't want my daily holdings revealed."
DeLegge also noted that the 2012 actively managed ETF trend in some ways is less than encouraging.
"You've only got one star—Bill Gross," he says. "The other ones are struggling."

The Unitech MS916 is the latest in their "companion scanner" series. From entering orders to doing price comparison while shopping, the MS916 allows foolproof collection of barcode data to any iOS, Android or Windows device. The Unitech MS916 paired with a phone or tablet can replace the functions of a FEDEX like delivery scanner at a fraction of the investment
The MS916 uses a conventional laser diode / vibrating mirror type line scanner. This robust and stable technology decodes barcodes with thin bars as small as 0.004" wide and decodes wide bar codes out to ranges of over 4 feet from the code to the scanner. This wide optical decoding range means you can scan "tiny" barcodes like those found inside cell phones but still use the scanner from a fork lift, scanning large pallet labels.
All this performance is packed in a light weight, easy to carry and ergonically designed case. The MS916 stores easily in your pocket and measures just 1.45" wide x 3.78" long x 0.83" thick..It is IP42 certified against dust and moisture and is engineered to withstand high vibration levels and multiple five foot drops to concrete. Rated to perform where temperatures can vary from 32ºF to 122º F, this barcode scanner is equally qualified for use inside your business or on the road. You can even store barcodes in the scanner for later download - up to 100,000 of them.
As a bluetooth 2.1 EDO device, the MS916 conforms to the HID standard, and will connect to your phone, tablet or PC like a bluetooth keyboard. When the laser lights the barcode, the decoder changes the reflected light pulse into ASCII characters that are then sent just like you pressed those keys on your soft keypad or external keyboard
