LTP-DDT Overview
LTP-DDT is a test application used by Texas Instruments to validate Linux releases.
It is based on LTP.
LTP validates many kernel areas, such as memory management, scheduler and system calls. LTP-DDT extends LTP's core Kernel tests with tests to validate Kernel drivers developed by Texas Instruments. LTP-DDT focuses on embedded device driver tests. It contains hundreds of tests that validate functionality and performance of device drivers. LTP-DDT also contains tests to validate System's use cases and overall System's stability.
LTP-DDT uses LTP's test infrastructure, such as:
- Test execution drivers (PAN)
- Top-level test scripts (i.e. runltp)
- Same Folder Hierarchy and test case definition format
LTP-DDT test cases are LTP test cases and vice-versa.
The main additions or 'enhacements' of LTP-DDT compared to LTP are:
- PLATFORM files. LTP-DDT uses PLATFORM files to identify platform hardware and software features.
- OVERRIDE mechanism. Default test case parameters are automatically overridden based on PLATFORM features.
- ATOMIC scripts. Code reuse is foster by writing scripts that implement small well-defined actions. Test scripts rely on these atomic scripts to execute their actions.
- AUTOMATIC FILTERING. Test cases are filtered based on the test requirements and the PLATFORM features.
- TESTCASE ANNOTATIONS. Test scenario files are annotated with following annotations @name, @desc, @requires and @setup_requires. The @requires and @setup_requires are used to select test cases at run time based on the PLATFORM features.
- All LTP-DDT test cases and test code reside in <testcases-root>/ddt/ and <testcode-root>/ddt/ folders respectively.
LTP-DDT Highlights
- Easy to use (automatically filter test cases not applicable for platform)
- Easy to support new platforms (just define the platform file)
- Test cases can be easily wrap or imported to Test Management Systems (Use of testcase annotations facilitates this)
- High Code Reuse (atomic scripts and test scripts are reused and parameters are adjusted on the fly)
Test Suites
LTP-DDT contains tests cases that uses other open source tools such as iperf, evtest, rt-tests (cyclictest), lmbench and others.
Test suites currently available include:
- alsa
- cpu hotplug
- crypto
- timers
- emmc
- mmc/sd
- ethernet
- fbdev
- gpio
- gstreamer (multimedia)
- hdmi

Host Platform Requirements
Linux host is required :
- for compiling LTP-DDT.
- to host the NFS server to boot the EVM with NFS as root filesystem
- to run host utilities - e.g.iperf
Host Software Requirements
- GCC Tool chain for ARM
- Serial console terminal application
- TFTP and NFS servers. NFS server is required only in case of NFS boot.
- iperf utility on the host.
Filesystem Requirements
LTP-DDT relies on other open source test tools. The following test tools must be available in the target filesystem to run ltp-ddt:
- alsa utilities
- evtest
- hdparm
- iperf
- lmbench
- rt-tests (cyclictest)
There is an Arago/OE recipe here that builds a filesystem image w/ the above tools plus:
- bonnie++
- iozone3
- ltp-ddt
Clone the project
git clone http://arago-project.org/git/projects/test-automation/ltp-ddt.git
Installation instructions are in the README-DDT file. Check sections 6) and 7)
There is also an Arago/OE recipe to build ltp-ddt here
Running Tests
- Run DDT tests the same way you run LTP tests. Use ltprun program and pass to
it the test scenario file in the runtest directory (option -f) to run and the platform (option -P) to use. For example:
./runltp -P am180x-evm -f ddt/lmbench
The platform name specified with -P option must exist in the platforms/ dir.
It is also possible to run tests without -P option, in such case the ltprun script won't filter test cases and it is possible that tests cases not supported by the platform you are running on will be called.
- In addition to selecting test scenarios using -f option, users can also
filter test cases using -s PATTERN option. These option
select test cases based on the test case TAG specified in the test
scenario file.
- The runltp script have lot of options. Some useful ones for stress tests are:
-t DURATION: Define duration of the test in s,m,h,d. -x INSTANCES: Run multiple test instances in parallel. -c <options>: Run test under additional background CPU load -D <options>: Run test under additional background load on Secondary storage -m <options>: Run test under additional background load on Main memory -i <options>: Run test under additional background load on IO Bus -n : Run test with network traffic in background.
Please refer to README-DDT file section 8) for more details.
- Running NAND Sanity Tests
-- Run all NAND sanity tests
Using below command to run NAND sanity tests.
./runltp -P <platform> -s "NAND_S_" -S skiplist
If there are more than one flash filesystem supported, say, jffs2 and ubifs and you don't run jffs2 test cases. You need create a file called 'skiplist' (this filename could be anything) and put to-be-skipped test case tag in this file. Here is the content of skiplist to skip jffs2 test cases.
@ cat skiplist _JFFS2
-- Run NAND performance test
./runltp -P <platform> -s "NAND_L_PERF" -S skiplist
LTP-DDT is an open source project.

Little Update...>>>>
All rooms are still really in the planing stages. Now the boards have arrived I can start putting in the ceilings and then fixing the walls.
I'm sort of spreading the furniture around ... sort of moving it about until I lose it!!!! LOL Lot's of it will need painting and I still need to sort out the lighting. I have a rough plan but it keeps changing... I guess that's the way it goes?
Now I'm starting on the middle section, just fixing the flooring and yet again more organizing! I'm starting to think I'm a little anal with this organizing and RE organizing thing? Been working a little on the hospital too.
Not getting very far as I'm spending a lot of time running the girls around this last week.

BDCA, round 16: Eaton claims 27-run victory over Leschenault
Round 16 of the Bunbury and Districts Cricket Association 2018/19 competition saw Eaton secure a 27-run win over second-placed Leschenault.
After winning the toss and heading to the crease, Eaton opening batsman Cory Fitt was dismissed for nine runs.
The Beavers were 2/44 after top order batsman Christoper Marrow (2) was run out by James Letchford (picking up 3/29 from 10 overs).
Fellow opener Clayton Caltsounis later posted a delightful 44 runs off 79 balls (including five fours and two sixes).
Middle order star Mick Rogers slogged 31 (including five fours), James Hillery knocked 24, and Leigh O'Mara impressed with 35.
Following the dismissal of Clint Hewson for 15, Eaton experienced a lower order collapse.
The home side was all out for a descent 173 from 47.4 overs.
After nabbing 4/34 from 8.4 overs with the ball, Leschenault opener Brody D'Agostino continued his form by posting 21 off 58.
Leschenault fell to 5/49, before Steven Denison (46) and Matt Buchanan (15) added to the Green Caps' total.
The visitors were dismissed for 146 with 4.5 overs remaining.
Hewson claimed 4/24 from 9.1, while Hillery collected 4/33 from eight.
Colts moved to second on the ladder with a 122-run win over fourth-placed Hay Park.
Wicketkeeper Jaysen Miguel made a half-century, after fellow opener Jayden Goodwin was sent packing for 12.
Colts' top order batsman Murray Goodwin stepped up – knocking a resounding 157, including 19 fours and two sixes.
Following the dismissals of Riley Miguel (17) and Joe Barningham (15), Colts suffered a lower order collapse.
Going after Colts' 5/295 total, Hay Park celebrated as Jono Whitney (54 off 66) and Michael Tassone (48 off 62) starred with the bat.
The visitors dismissed the Redbacks' middle and lower order batsmen in quick succession.
Hay Park was all out for 173 after 39.3 overs.
Bottom-placed Dalyellup Beach secured its third win of the season on Saturday afternoon.
Marist opener Sam Roots hit a commendable 31 off 79 (including four fours) early in the day.
Middle order batsmen Ben Shipley (22 off 48) and Adam Spinelli (19 off 21) then upped the Blues' run rate.
Chasing Marist's 130, Dalyellup batsmen Justin Woods (62, including nine fours and one six) and Dylan Robinson (45 off 37) formed an unstoppable partnership.
The Beach Boys reached Marist's total in just 23.2 overs.
Teams will return to the field for round 17 on Saturday, February 16.

Parenting Success is once again offering this popular worskhop on the art of saying no.
Saying no – and communicating our boundaries is an inescapable part of life with children. Yet, also one of the most difficult aspects of being a parent. In order to keep the peace you may find yourself saying yes when you actually mean no. Or feeling like you have to shout and get angry in order to be heard.
The good news is: There is a middle way. A way that allows you to be in charge – without compromising the connection between you and your child. Because children do want boundaries and feel safe in the company of parents who can communicate these clearly and respectfully.
Children are possibility seekers and like little scientists they will explore ways around a barrier with relentless perseverance. And that is exactly as it should be! Our job is to decide what is okay and what is not acceptable – and communicate this clearly and respectfully.
Easier said than done, right!?
Perhaps you can relate to one or more of these statements:
– You feel that your no is rarely respected
– Or that it is difficult to say no without feeling guilty.
– Perhaps you find that saying no is easy – but that the aftermath is difficult to tolerate (the reaction)
– Or you feel unclear about how to say no in a respectful way without losing authority.
The way we go about saying no and setting limits will have a huge impact on how our kids respond and on the actual outcome. Therefore, for us be heard – without having to take away TV for a week – we need to get clear on what increases the willingness for our children to listen to us!
In this workshop you will:
– Get clear on your own challenges around boundary setting.
– Learn the secret to saying no in ways that will make your child want to listen.
– Be shown the way to stop the endless negotiations that often follow a no.
– And learn to set limits and say no in a way you and your child can feel good about.
This workshop is for you -whether your child is 2 or 18.
Hosted in the beautiful Medicine Garden in Cobham, this interactive parenting workshop promises hands on exercises – group participation and easy to implement stratetgies that you can apply straight away.
Once we master the art of saying no in ways that does not make the other feel wrong – it is possible for both you and our child to better listen, accept and respect.
Tea, coffee, baked goods and workshop materials will be provided.
I look forward to seeing you there,
Louise Hoffmann Brooks

I've used one of these (bass version) for 2 years now and it works great. I got it in Nashville at the IBMA World Of Bluegrass Trade Show at the D'Addario booth. I use it on my acoustic bass (gut and wire wound strings)it works great! And I have used it on guitar, resophonic guitar and banjo. The guitar and reso work fine but the banjo strings might be too thin although it still works. I have since gotten another (guitar) and this too works fine!

They did promise. At some point. Something like 26 or 28°C.
But look what then happened: 9° tomorrow morning. And, woohooo, up to 17… Dad is not angry, Dad is disappointed!
Nevertheless, I'll jump on my bike tomorrow morning (and again tomorrow afternoon, I reckon). At least the wind looks manageable and after all, the weather icons are yellow and not gray. You learn to be grateful for the small scraps, too.
Had a quick bike ride this evening, too – 2 x 4 km over to my daughter and back. Mostly (*hangs head in shame*) because I forgot to stop by on my way home from work… But the 4 km, especially back with the way the hills (gentle as they are) are distributed, are really good – as it is short enough to let me drive with the cadence and the speed my brain tells me I'd like.
Not really in shape for that on the 2 x 18 km yet. With luck, I'll get there…

If you're not motivated by quotes, check out these stats about the link between employee happiness and profit.Companies with happy employees:
- Outperform their competition by 20%
- Earn 1.2-1.7% more than peer firms
- Are 2.1% above industry benchmarks
- Have a positive correlation with shareholder returns
As your startup is growing, setting a foundation for a great company culture that can scale with your company is crucial.Think of it as always harkening back to your roots. Here are a few questions to ask yourself as you begin building out your startup's culture.
1. What is your vision and mission?Your vision and mission statements are two separate ideas, grounded by the focus of your business plan. First, a vision statement should focus on where you believe your business is headed, based on your overall goals. Following, the mission statement should focus on the things your business is doing every day to achieve said goals. Vision = looking. Mission = doing. As an example, check out SupplyPike's vision and mission statements below.
2. What is "culture" to you?You can't build a culture before you've defined it, or at least decided what it means to you and your business. Here's how we define culture at SupplyPike:
"It's who we are. It's what we aspire to be. These are the values that permeate SupplyPike and influence how we make decisions as a company. These values describe our collective personality that has enabled SupplyPike to get to where it is today."

Volume 1, No. 1 (Spring 1998)
This volume of F.A. Hayek's collected works brings together chapters, articles, and reviews Hayek wrote between 1935 and 1949. The volume's editor, Bruce Caldwell, has divided the contents into three parts: market socialism and the socialist calculation debate; the economics and politics of war; and planning, freedom, and the politics of socialism. Readers familiar with Hayek's 1944 book, The Road to Serfdom, will find that its themes and arguments relate closely to the ideas expressed in the papers collected here.
Part I contains Hayek's introductory and summary chapters of the important 1935 volume he edited, Collectivist Economic Planning: Critical Studies on the Possibilities of Socialism, two journal articles, a book review, and the foreword he wrote for Boris Brutzkus, Economic Planning in Soviet Russia (1935).
In these papers Hayek traced the history and nature of the socialist calculation problem. He observed that the issue had been brought to the forefront by
the experience of the war years, when the states had set up food and raw material administrations to deal with the serious shortage of the most essential commodities. It was generally assumed that this had shown that not only was central direction of economic activity practicable and even superior to a system of competition, but also that the special technique of planning developed to cope with the problems of war economics might be equally applied to the permanent administration of a socialist economy. (p. 71)
Although Hayek credited the German sociologist Max Weber and the Russian economist Boris Brutzkus with having "arrived independently at very similar conclusions" (p. 74), he gave pride of place to his mentor Ludwig von Mises for having shown the necessity of a money price system for rational allocation of resources and, most importantly, for having presented a "detailed demonstration that an economic use of the available resources was only possible if this pricing was applied not only to the final product but also to all the intermediate products and factors of production" (p. 74). Hayek also clarified Mises's enigmatic statement that socialism was impossible: "what he meant was that socialism made rational calculation impossible" (p. 76).
Hayek described how socialist planning would fail as follows:
There is no reason to expect that production would stop, or that the authorities would find difficulty in using all the available resources somehow, or even that output would be permanently lower than it had been before planning started. What we should anticipate is that output, where the use of the available resources was determined by some central authority, would be lower than if the price mechanism of a market operated freely under otherwise similar circumstances. (p. 91)
In response to socialists who proposed that central planning required only that the planners solve the appropriate set of Walrasian equations, Hayek described the proposal as "humanly impracticable and impossible" (p. 93) and characterized its proponents as having failed to perceive the real nature of the problem. Socialist economists erroneously assumed various forms of knowledge to be "given" when in reality such knowledge is only discovered by people engaged in the competitive process. Moreover, much knowledge is dispersed and specific to time and place, and much knowledge is not transmissible but tacit, pertaining not so much to "what is" as to "how to." Socialist economists displayed an "excessive preoccupation with the conditions of a hypothetical state of stationary equilibrium" (p. 105), but actual economies are dynamic, undergoing constant change. Aiming to abolish profits, the socialists overlooked the essential role of profits as an equilibrating force. "To assume that it is possible to create conditions of full competition without making those who are responsible for the decisions pay for their mistakes seems to be pure illusion" (p. 112).
In a 1940 Economica article, Hayek took on the so-called market socialists, Oskar Lange and H.D. Dickinson. He concluded that these theorists had failed to solve the problems identified by their critics. Even if the planners were competent and completely devoted to serving the public interest—outrageous assumptions but ones Hayek was willing to make for purposes of discussion—they had no way to employ inherently dispersed knowledge or to adjust quickly to the constant changes of the real world. In addition, without a capital market, "the decision of how much to save and invest would necessarily have to be arbitrary" (p. 133).
Part 2, which deals with war-related issues, contains articles and reviews written for such outlets as The Banker and The Spectator as well as Hayek's review in the Economic Journal of John Maynard Keynes's notable pamphlet How to Pay for the War (1940).
Responding to calls for the establishment of resource priorities and rationing by government, Hayek observed that in wartime no less than in peacetime, costs cannot be ignored and rational resource allocation requires a price system: "It is a common fallacy to assume that in the conduct of war everything is needed so urgently that cost does not matter" (p. 152). He also exploded the fallacy that speedier production has no cost: "even in wartime it is rarely justifiable to think only of the effects in the shortest of periods without regard to the consequences" (p. 153).
Hayek endorsed Keynes's 1939 scheme to use forced savings to help finance the war, calling the proposal the product of "the most fertile mind among living economists" (p. 164). Hayek preferred, however, that rather than repaying the wartime takings in cash installments after the war, timed along Keynesian lines to offset the expected postwar slump, the government would impose "a capital levy on old wealth," giving the lower-income taxpayers what would amount to shares in the private capital stock. When Keynes refined his scheme in 1940, he adopted the idea of a capital levy, crediting Hayek for suggesting it. In his review, however, Hayek objected that "the purpose for which I proposed [the capital levy] was very different from that to which Mr. Keynes intends to put it" (p. 171)—namely, to finance the postwar discretionary cash repayments Keynes had proposed initially.
Part 3 contains a 1938 magazine article and a 1939 pamphlet that clearly prefigure The Road to Serfdom, two articles on how and why scientists and intellectuals tended to support socialism, and half a dozen reviews of books on central planning and related topics.
As early as 1941, in a book review published in The Spectator, Hayek had encapsulated his characteristic themes in the form of a rhetorical question:
Is it not possible that all that planning and direction, which in Germany longer than elsewhere has been universally demanded, necessarily require a "totalitarian" regime, arbitrary preferences, the use of force, and the institution of a new hierarchical order of society, and that only the most ruthless and unscrupulous are capable of satisfying the clamour of the masses for "action," while the decent falter and fail when faced with the concrete task? (pp. 174–75)
As we know, most opinion leaders rejected Hayek's argument that planning would necessarily lead to totalitarianism, arguing that democracy would protect the public from government excesses. Hayek disagreed. As he wrote in 1939, "only capitalism makes democracy possible. And if a democratic people comes under the sway of an anti-capitalistic creed, this means that democracy will inevitably destroy itself" (p. 185).
A highlight of Part 3 is Hayek's 1949 article "The Intellectuals and Socialism," originally published in the University of Chicago Law Review. Hayek argued that the intellectuals, "second-hand dealers in ideas" whom he distinguished from "the real scholars or experts," exercise great influence. "Even though their knowledge may be often superficial and their intelligence limited, this does not alter the fact that it is their judgment which mainly determines the views on which society will act in the not too distant future" (p. 225)—another instance of agreement between Hayek and Keynes, whose own statement in this regard has become a cliché. Hayek maintained that "neither selfish interests nor evil intentions but mostly honest convictions and good intentions . . . determine the intellectuals' views" (p. 227). Hence Hayek's lifelong, always courteous attempt to set the collectivist intellectuals straight. Even after fifty years, Hayek's speculations about why the intellectuals tend toward collectivism make provocative reading.
Caldwell has performed admirably as editor of this volume. His 50-page introduction provides much background and context for the collected papers and helps to clarify Hayek's arguments. His explanatory notes scattered throughout the text are also informative.
Caldwell advances interesting speculations about why forty years elapsed before these papers began to bear significant intellectual fruit in the economics profession. Of course, Hayek's views were completely out of step with the ideological (collectivist) and scientific (positivist) persuasions of most economists from 1935 to 1975. But economists did not exactly refute Hayek's ideas. As Caldwell aptly observes, "few economists ever really seemed to have understood what Hayek was saying" (p. 29). Why not?
Whether one is a neoclassical or a market socialist, one's principal goal as an economist is the same: to make one's chosen system more efficient, using the marginal conditions provided by the Paretian system as the benchmark. . . . Hayek's ultimate endorsement of markets is not based on their alleged Pareto-efficiency characteristics. Rather, a system of free markets is one among a number of institutions that are vital for the creation and discovery of knowledge and for the coordination of agents' plans in a world in which knowledge is dispersed and error is possible. By assuming away these essential characteristics of the market process, the Paretian paradigm completely obscures the Austrian message. (pp. 29–30)
Also, Hayek argued in words, but mainstream postwar economists increasingly resisted accepting any kind of argument unless it had been formalized in the prescribed mathematical fashion.
This volume makes an important contribution to Hayek's Collected Works. Many of the papers in it will be read for years to come. Scholars are fortunate to have them available in such a convenient and skillfully edited form.

Mary Berry, Executive Director of The Berry Center in Henry County, Kentucky is speaking on June 3rd, at 7:30 PM at Saint James Place (352 Main St.) in Great Barrington. The Berry Center is putting Wendell Berry's writings to work by advocating for farmers, land conserving communities, and healthy regional economies.
The talk is sponsored by the Schumacher Center for a New Economics and is intended to follow up on discussions begun at the Berkshire Community Land Trust's Annual Membership Meeting in April. At that event Matthew Derr, President of Sterling College, and Sarah Waring, Executive Director of the Center for Agricultural Economy, described the revitalization of the Hardwick, Vermont economy brought about by the cooperation of farmers, citizens, educators, non-profit organizations, community banks, and government officials in building the local agricultural economy.
A Q&A session will follow the talk to offer the opportunity to continue the discussion of how together we can support a stronger local economy in the Berkshires around agriculture and encourage other locally manufactured products.
This event is free, but pre-registration is encouraged, and donations will be gratefully accepted.
Hawthorne Valley Association is proud to be a co-sponsor of this event along with:

About Mary Berry
Mary Berry is the Executive Director of The Berry Center and a leader in the movement for sustainable agriculture. A well-known advocate for the preservation of rural culture and agriculture, she is currently working to reconnect cities with landscapes around them. Founded in 2011, The Berry Center advocates for small farmers, land conservation, and healthy regional economies by focusing on land use, farm policy, farmer education, urban education about farming, and local food infrastructure. Its goal is to establish within the Commonwealth of Kentucky a national model of urban-rural connectedness.
Berry is attempting to restore a culture that has been lost in rural America. She continues the advocacy of her grandfather, father, and uncle for land-conserving communities. When President Obama appointed her to Kentucky's Farm Service Agency State Board, she took on a public role in an effort to change policy.
For 32 years she farmed for a living— first as a dairy farmer, then raising tobacco, and later raising organic vegetables as well as pastured poultry and beef. From 2002 until 2011 she catered events at her winery.
She serves on the Board of United Citizens Bank in New Castle, Kentucky, and on the Board of the Schumacher Center for a New Economics in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. She writes for the periodical Edible Louisville and speaks widely as a proponent of small farmers.

I put in at the north end of the big lake. I hoped to retrieve some plastic debris from the shoreline, but a 15mph wind out of the south blowing over 15 miles of lake disagreed with that idea.
I headed straight into the wind and small whitecaps to round a long fishing pier. Then towards the Samammish River broadside to the waves. The spray is warm, warmer than the 60 degree air. The mouth of the river is busy with birds. Many ducks with ducklings about and a heron every 200-300 yards. I see several kingfishers also. About a half mile into the river I head up a tributary, Swamp Creek. The log jam in the photo is about as far as one can get. It has more jams upstream of this first one. I collect my garbage here, "heading it off at the pass" before it gets to the lake. It is interesting to see what Lynnwood and Bothel youth are drinking these days, mostly little one ounce bottles of liquor and cheap beer. I return downstream, paddle south on the lake shore and out of the wind for a stretch. Then I head out into the middle of the lake and downwind back to the put-in.

Palliative, analgesic treatment of previously localised bone metastases. Use of Multibone is highly recommended in the case of the bone metastases of breast or prostate cancer.
The labelling of one Multibone vial should be performed by using 2500 MBq of 153Sm precursor. The individual patient dose is 2500 MBq of 153Sm-Multibone per 70 kg bodyweight.
153Sm-Multibone should be administered slowly, intravenously to the patient.
Following the administration, the patient should drink 100 ml/10 kg of bodyweight of liquid and/or the blood circulation should be stimulated by administration of 20 ml of saline intravenously. During several hours, medical attention should be provided for the patient's benefit.
Outpatient's treatment is possible.
The use of the product is contraindicated at the age under 18 years, except when the necessity and importance of the therapy outweighs the risk coming from the radiation exposure.
Serum Creatinine:> 120 mM / litre
|White Cell Count:
|< 3 x 109
|Platelet Count:
|< 120 x 109
|Karnofsky Index:
|< 60 %
The use of the product is contraindicated in case of pregnant or breast-feeding women, or if the patient does not provide an oral or written consent of being treated with the radionuclide.
153Sm-Multibone therapy can be carried out also in case of outpatients. After administration of the preparation, the patient should be kept under medical attendance for several hours because the activity not bound to the bone lesions is excreted during this period.
None stated.
Administration of Multibone to pregnant or lactating women is contraindicated unless the necessity and importance of acquiring the information outweighs the risk coming from the radiation exposure.
The product can be administered to women of childbearing age after the possibility of pregnancy has been precluded. It is recommended to treat these women in the first 10 days after menstruation.
Multibone should not be administered to patients below 18 years of age, unless the necessity and importance of acquiring the information outweighs the risk coming from the radiation exposure.
MULTIBONE has no direct influence on these abilities.
1 – 2 hours after the intravenous administration nausea may occur.
After 2 – 3 days, temporary increase of the bone pain may occur, lasting for maximum 1 week. This 'flare-up' usually predicts the chance of the good therapeutic effect.
Palliative, analgesic treatment of previously localised bone metastases. Use of Multibone is highly remommended in the case of the bone metastases of breast or prostate cancer.
No case of overdose has been reported. In the unlikely event of overdose the vital functions of the patient should be supported.
A single dose of a patient contains 2500 MBq of 153Sm activity.
In case of 70 kg body weight, 1 MBq of the injection causes the following absorbed doses:
|Absorbed Dose
|Trabecular Bone
|Cortical Bone
|Red Bone Marrow
|Urinary Bladder
Around 1000 patients have been treated with 153Sm-Multibone injection.
The palliative effect usually lasts for 3 – 6 months. If necessary, the 153Sm-Multibone treatment can be repeated after 3 months.
Pain relief has been quantified in case of 54 patients treated with 153Sm-Multibone, by using a 10 grade pain scale. The lowest and highest score, i.e. 0 and 10 corresponded to the painless state and to the intolerable pain, respectively. Results are presented in the figure below:
ATC code: V10B X 02
47-77% of the administered 2500 MBq of 153Sm-EDTMP is accumulated in the bone and in the bone lesions. The lesion / normal bone activity ratio can be even 16:1. The non-bound activity of 153Sm-Multibone is excreted almost exclusively via the urinary tract. The beta particles of average energy of 710 keV are absorbed in bone metastases around 0.6 mm distance as average, providing the therapeutic effect of 153Sm-Multibone. The upper limit of the absorption range is 3 mm. The beta particles transmit their full energy to the tissues, bone lesions, in which they are absorbed. This energy transfer causes the palliative effect by the destruction of the tissues of the lesions.
88-90% of the administered 153Sm-Multibone activity is eliminated within half an hour and 98% of it within 4 hours. The excretion can be characterised by two parallel processes described by T1/2 values as follows:
|Quick phase
|Slow Phase
The activity needed to achieve the therapeutic effect appears in the bone lesions 1-2 hours after administration. During that time 47-77% of the injected radioactivity is localised in the bone and bone lesions, but in case of several and more extensive lesions the accumulation is greater.
The non-bound activity appears in the kidneys and the urinary bladder (70% 2 hours after being injected, 90% after 4 hours and 100% after 12 hours). A negligible quantity appears in the liver and the intestines.
Intravenous acute toxicity experiments of Multibone on mice showed that no clinical symptoms have been observed up to 50 mg/kg of body weight. One patient dose (25 mg EDTMP in one vial labelled with 2500 MBq 153Sm) corresponds to a value of 0.375 mg/kg body weight (in case of the average body weight of 70 kg ) which is equal to 0.72 % of the dose causing absolutely no symptoms. Thus, MULTIBONE is considered as a safe product.
Stannous chloride dihydrate, ascorbic acid, glucose anhydrous, sodium chloride, water for injection.
Shelf life of Multibone in vivo kit is 12 months from the day of production.
Shelf life of the 153Sm precursor is 5 days from the day of the production.
The 'on the spot' prepared 153Sm-Multibone injection should be used within 24 hours from labelling.
One paper box of Multibone in vivo kit contains 6 vials of the sterile and bacterial endotoxin-free, freeze-dried, non-radioactive components. Vials are closed with rubber stopper and tear-off aluminium cap.
153Sm-chloride precursor of activity of 2500 MBq, for preparation of a single dose of the 153Sm-Multibone injection, is supplied in BEKA type 6 ml injection vials closed with rubber stopper and tear-off aluminium cap. The labelled vial is placed in a lead container, packed in a labelled tear-off metal can, containing plastic insert (Type A packaging for radioactive materials).
One vial from the six of Multibone kit in front of its paper box (left side), as well as the packaging of a single dose of the radioactive 153Sm precursor (right side) are shown in the figure below.
Multibone in vivo kit should be stored at 2-8°C in its original paper box.
153Sm-chloride precursor should be stored at room temperature in its original container.
The 'on the spot' prepared 153Sm-Multibone injection should be stored at room temperature in lead container fulfilling the rules concerning radioactive materials.
Place one vial of the Multibone in vivo kit in a small lead container of 15 mm wall thickness. Under aseptic conditions, inject 2.0 ml of physiological saline into the vial through the rubber stopper. After complete dissolution of the powder, inject the single dose (2500 MBq) of 153Sm-samarium chloride precursor. Shake the vessel thoroughly and allow it to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. After that, the 153Sm-Multibone injection is ready for intravenous administration.
Radiochemical purity of 153Sm-Multibone is tested by using paper chromatography.
Stationary phase: 1.5 x 20 cm stripes of Whatmann ET-31 (catalogue code: 3031915)
Mobile phase: Phosphate buffer, pH=7.5
Distribution of radioactivity: 153Sm-chloride impurity at Rf = 0 – 0.1, 153Sm-EDTMP at Rf = 0.9 – 1.0.
The activity corresponding to 153Sm-EDTMP peak compared to the total activity on the strip as 100% provides the radiochemical purity, which should be not less than 95% at expiry.

AMD Radeon 7000 Leo Technology Demo
Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/30/2012 03:46 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]
The Leo demo showcases a real-time, DirectX 11 based lighting pipeline that is designed to allow for rendering scenes made of arbitrarily complex materials (including transparencies), multiple lighting models, and minimal restrictions on the number of lights that can be used -- all while supporting hardware MSAA and efficient memory usage. Specifically, this demo uses DirectCompute to cull and manage lights in a scene. The end result is a per-pixel or per-tile list of lights that forward-render based shaders use for lighting each pixel. This technique also allows for adding one bounce global illumination effects by spawning virtual point light sources where light strikes a surface.
Finally, the lighting in this demo is physically based in that it is fully HDR and the material and reflection models take advantage of the ALU power of the AMD Radeon HD 7900 GPU to calculate physically accurate light and surface interactions (multiple BRDF equations, realistic use of index of refraction, absorption based on wavelength for metals, etc).

I've recently discovered the joys of Mad Men and have spotted some similarities between the characters from Madison Avenue and those of Coronation Street. So here we go with my take on Mad Men, Weatherfield-style.
Roger Sterling is Ken Barlow. He's a ladies man through and through, hides behind his newspaper and no-one's quite sure what he does all day long.
Don Draper is Kevin Webster. Both alpha males, these two brush up a treat after a hard day at work.
Peggy Olson is Hayley Cropper. Neither of them are ready to settle for prescribed gender roles and strike out on their own to do their thing. And both have a secret son.
Joan Harris is Julie Carp, Corrie's very own sweater girl. These are the women you want on your side if you've got something to sort.
What's to say with these two? Pete Campbell is Nick Tilsley. Both have a face that deserve a thousand slaps.
And finally, the belle of the ball meets the blonde bombshell of bedlam. Betty Draper is Sally Webster. All sweetness and light on the surface but woe betide any man who messes with these ladies.
Have a look at our Sopranos - Weatherfield Style, Coronation Street meets The Flinstones and more Corrie look-a-likes here.

How Non-Attachment Can Benefit Your Relationship05.09.2018 in Personal Development, Relationships, Soulmate, Stress Management
By M. J. Ross
"You only lose what you cling to." ~Buddha
I remember one of my first mindfulness classes that pertained to impermanence. I went home in a bit of a slump.
Nothing is permanent; everything ends; "This too, shall pass." It was quite a shock to the system.
After getting over what, on surface level, seemed to be incredibly dire, I realized that this could be incredibly liberating.
Enter the principle of non-attachment, a notion that has the potential to aid in the evolving nature of day-to-day life.

At the outset, I would like to make it clear that I am not eulogizing the British rule but making a dispassionate analysis of "What would have happened if the British had not ruled India?"
The Indus valley civilization, Vedic period, Mauryan administration, Gupta administration and Mughal administration are some of the important milestones in Indian administration before the advent of the British rule in India. The peculiarity of all these administrative systems was the supreme power associated with the monarch. As we all know, monarchy is the best when ruled by a benevolent monarch. India as we see today was very different in the past with hundreds of independent rulers ruling the princely states. The centralized administration of the Mauryans, Guptas and Mughals also lacked the centralization that we see today.
The credit for consolidating India goes to the British (though their intentions are debatable). The spirit of enquiry, industrial revolution, inception of the contemporary form of democracy, etc have their roots in the west. The British were responsible in imbibing these values in Indian society. A liberal judicial system based on the principles of natural justice is also a boon for independent India bequeathed by the British. The bridges, railway lines and irrigation canals built by the British some hundred years ago are still intact while some of the flyovers built today have collapsed within a week of their commissioning. English or Hinglish has contributed to the service sector immensely which has enabled our economic growth. The modern education system also has its roots in the British rule which can be traced back to Macaulay's minutes. The democratic exercise that we all are proud of today was introduced by the British.
We can only simulate the various scenarios and will never be able to prove if the British rule was the right chapter in the Indian evolution. You can only imagine horse and elephant chariots, magnificent palaces, kings and princes indulging in lavish display of their wealth (some of them continue to do it even today), maulvis, qazis or priests administering justice as per religious laws, woman being burnt on the pyre of her husband, etc.
The changes in the west would have of course reached the Indian subcontinent but with a delay, not only because of the geographic distance but also because of the cultural diversity and resistance of these diverse cultural groups to adopt these values. So, the British rule acted as a catalyst in bringing about these changes in our social, cultural, economic and political systems. I do not want to be blamed of following a functional perspective of British exploitation in India. All that I am doing in this article is recollecting the good things about the British rule relative to the bad things that would have occurred if the British had not ruled us. I admit that we Indians were smart enough to hit the iron when it was hot. It is this smartness that has enabled us to be listed as the prospective super power of the world.

Comments Off on Taiwan selects 'The Great Buddha+' for Oscar entry
Taipei, The 2017 Taiwanese dark comedy "The Great Buddha+" has been chosen to represent Taiwan in the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 91st Academy Awards, the Motion Picture & Drama Association said Friday.
The decision was made during a recent selection meeting held by the Ministry of Culture's Bureau of Audiovisual and Music Industry Development, based on the film's whimsical humor and technical merits, according to the association.
"The Great Buddha+," a film written and directed by Huang Hsin-yao (???), tells the story of two frustrated workers on the lower social economic ladder who find themselves surrounded by businessmen and local officials throwing around more money than they could accumulate in a lifetime.
The film was Huang's directorial debut and already won in Best Film from Mainland and Taiwan at the 37th Hong Kong Film Awards in April this year.
The movie also won top prize at the 19th Taipei Film Festival in July 2017 and received 10 nominations at the 54th Golden Horse Awards in November 2017, winning Best Adapted Screenplay and Best New Director for Huang.
It was released in Taiwan's theaters in October last year.

Frederick Gingell
Frederick Gingell
Sliema, Malta
About Frederick Gingell
Born on 30th July 1946 on the mediterranean island of Malta. I took up art as a mature student in 2000. Colour is the dominant characteristic of my works. I strive to reproduce what I see with my own experiences and feelings: re-inventing old painting skills of colour, shape and form from a new perspective. Favourite themes are the female figure depicted in various moods and beautiful faces! Beauty frequently inspires great portraits. Why? The emotions that it awakes in the creative artist need to be expressed in a personal and artistic manner. A real portrait needs a strong feeling, the soul, the inner spirit of the model and a personal creative point of view of the artist. My country, Malta, has a chequered history which is reflected in its buildings. I am fond of interpreting quaint streets, corners and facades.
At a young age I studied art under various well-known local artists. As a mature student I attended at Malta School of Arts, and spent seven years under the direction of Harry Alden.
Currently exhibiting works at Cellini Restaurant, Naxxar, Malta, and a couple of works at Sistine Wines & Co, Gzira, Malta.
