Chapter 5
Arrogant Ex
Teron sat next to me—too close for my comfort, only a few inches away. I shifted my body at an angle to put some distance between us. He didn't seem to think anything of it and flashed an immense smile.
"Now, where were we," he began.
My mind was in a million places; Kadeem, the war, him holding my hand when I didn't want him to….
"I would like for us to try again, Syira."
What! This was way off of the subject we were supposed to be discussing. No, you arrogant Kadanan! I only want to be with Kadeem. But that seemed impossible.
"Um, I'm not sure that is a good idea to court with war upon us. Let's be friends for now."
"The way things are now is even more of a reason. We don't know what's going to happen. I believe everyone should seize the moment."
He shocked me by grabbing the back of my head. Then he leaned in and kissed me. It happened so fast I didn't have time to react. His lips touched mine forcefully. His hand held my head so tightly I could barely move. I heard a loud noise, and simultaneously Rose, one of our maidens, came into the room. Teron drew back and I moved as far from him on the sofa as I could.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Your Highness. I didn't mean to intrude. Would you like any refreshments?" Rose asked, blushing.
"It's okay, Rose. And yes, you can bring us refreshments." I was glad for the interruption.
Teron was sitting there looking smug. The bastard. He was happy with himself and seemed even happier that someone had seen us. I couldn't believe he had kissed me. Well, it wasn't like I responded. He'd caught me off guard, but I was not going to let it happen again. I felt guilty, like I was betraying Kadeem.
"Very well, Madam," Rose said, leaving the room rather quickly. Teron continued to grin. I wanted to roll my eyes, but somehow reframed.
"Did you hear a noise right before Rose walked in?" I asked.
"Yeah. She probably tripped over something."
Maybe, I thought. Teron inched closer to me. Ugh! I stopped him dead in his tracks.
"…Teron, I'm really worried about what is happening on our planet. Can you please fill me in? It would make me feel better."
"Sure. I'll tell you what I know. Then you can focus on us. But I'm sure our male warriors will be able to keep
Kadan safe, if it comes down to it."
I bit my lip so I didn't curse him out. What a chauvinistic pig! Women on our planet fought side by side with men equally during combat.
Teron continued and told me about different Kadanan quadrants teaming up for battle. Also that there had been several occurrences of small attacks. This was a shock. I knew of one small battle where a group of Polars had come to our planet, and had been taken out, but not several of them. When was my father planning on telling us? Then Teron told me about some of his father's fighting strategies, but I found it hard to listen now that I knew how bad things had gotten.
"Do you know why we are not in the meeting with the others?" I patiently waited for an answer.
"Well…I asked my father to ask your father for some alone time with you."
I knew it. The nerve of him. "So this was your idea?"
"Yes. I already told you, I want us to try again. We make a good team, and your father has told me I am well suited for you."
My father needed to mind his own damn business when it came to my personal life. But he was just doing what he always did; being the king, and making decisions for everyone's life. Praise Sonar I heard Shi coming down the hall. She pranced into the room with a devious expression. She knew I needed her to rescue me.
"King Julius will be finishing up shortly. Teron, your father wants you in the meeting."
"Oh, all right," he said standing up. He grabbed my hand and kissed it. "Until next time, Syira. Hopefully, that will be soon."
Don't bet on it. "Okay. It was nice talking with you, Teron." He inclined his head, acknowledging Shi. Then he strolled out of the room.
"Bout time you saved me."
"Better late than never. He really was needed in the meeting. Things are getting crazy."
"I know. I got a lot of information from Teron."
"What did you find out?"
We filled each other in about the details we had learned. A while later, I heard men's voices coming down the hall.
"I'm going to head upstairs, Shi. I've had all I can take of Teron for one evening."
"Okay. We can talk more later." She gave me a hug.
"I'm so worried now after hearing all of this. Something is telling me things on our planet will never be the same again," I whined.
"All we can do is have faith."
I was too scared of what fate had in store to reply. I snuck to my room. My mind was spinning in a whirlwind. When I finally got into bed I had a horrible headache. My brain was on overload. But, regardless of the impeding
war, I still had Kadeem. Blasphemy or not, I was in too deep. I would see him tomorrow no matter what.
I sat in the soft spot of the rocks waiting impatiently for Kadeem. It was fifteen past six and I was starting to worry that he wouldn't show. I stood up and paced back and forth. Had he gotten my messages? If he didn't, then he wouldn't know I would be here. And if he didn't come, then when would I see him again? I let out an uncontrolled whimper and then heard the swooshing sound from his teleporting. He appeared a few feet in front of me. I was flooded with relief.
"Praise Sonar you made it." I beamed at him. I thought he would stride over and scoop me in his arms as he always did. But he just stood there, glaring at me. "Hi," I said cautiously.
"Hello," he whispered. His forehead was wrinkled, and the expression on his face was one I'd never seen before. He still made no attempt to move toward me so I bravely walked up to him.
"Kadeem, what's wrong?" He shrugged his shoulders slightly. "You're scaring me. Tell me why you are upset?" I wrapped my arms around his neck and he stiffened. Huh? He'd never done that before. "Please, talk to me?"
"What do you want me to say, Syira?"
"Say about what?"
"Why didn't you tell me you were courting someone?"
"Courting someone?"
"Don't lie to me! I saw you with him yesterday at the palace."
I inwardly cringed. "Oh…Teron."
"So that's his name?" he asked, fuming and pulling away from my embrace. His eyes were filled with rage. The golden glow around his honey brown eyes blazed like fire. It was very intimidating, and I took a step back. What had he seen? Then I remembered the noise I'd heard right before Rose came in. It must have been him. Ugh! He must have seen Teron kiss me. I bit my lip, trying to think of a way to explain. But, truthfully, I was afraid of him right now.
"Syira, I have never had these feelings before and don't know how to control them. I've never been this angry. I almost didn't come today because I'm still upset. I thought you felt the same way about me."
I bravely interrupted him. "We are not together anymore."
"Anymore? Well, I saw you holding hands and him kiss you! It took all of my Polar strength not to break his neck. He was all over you."
My fears were confirmed. He had seen it all.

It is easier than ever for engineers to conduct more types of simulations more frequently than ever. These system simulations often involve material models for multiple materials, and the material data, in turn, is used for many different types of simulations. That results in different files for the same material for different simulation solvers. This abundance of material data can be difficult to track: If an engineer pulls the wrong material model into the simulation, it could skew the results and require repeated simulations or create design errors later in the process.
"There is a challenge in identifying the correct materials data to use," says Dr. Peter Cherns, product manager for Enterprise Integration at Granta Design. "If material cards are stored without context or traceability, there is a risk that the wrong data will be applied, the right data will not be found or re-testing will be ordered needlessly."
Companies often use inconsistent nomenclature for material data, which can lead to inefficient or inaccurate material selection processes. There is also a lack of consistency in the properties used to make up the material files.
This is further complicated by the fact that different teams are handling material data in isolation from each other. "What we usually see is that the people who do the material testing in the lab and the people who do material modeling in automotive or aerospace, for example, are different people," says Philippe Hébert, product manager at e-Xstream Engineering, an MSC company. "The test data is stored somewhere on a hard disk, and the then material model files are somewhere else."
"Companies put considerable effort into developing their own material property data internally and want to be sure that the data is applied consistently for all simulations," adds Hubert Lobo, president of DatapointLabs Technical Center for Materials. "If you are doing NVH [noise, vibration, harshness simulation], you need a certain type of data; if you are doing crash simulations, you need the same material, but more complicated data. Ensuring the data is used consistently is not easy, because the team doing NVH is not doing crash. They barely talk to each other. The data needs to come from a consistent source."
Material File Challenges
Materials files come in a number of different file formats, and the data contained in each has a complex relation to underlying testing and analysis. If the wrong file is used in a simulation, it can cause a number of difficulties throughout the design and simulation process.
"In the worst case scenario simulation results will be wrong due to incorrect data usage. More commonly there are issues with re-use of data due to inadequate traceability," Cherns says.
According to Hébert, users often lose track of the material data they need or lack visibility into where the material model originated. "Where did the file come from, who created it and what were the assumptions that were made?" Hébert asks. "The material model translates reality into an approximated version of that reality, and you have to be able to track the assumptions made during that translation."
Even something as simple as the name of the material file can cause hiccups in the process. For example, design teams and CAE simulation engineers may not use the same terms for the same set of data. "So a CAD drawing and bill of materials arrive at the CAE user's desk, and they have to hunt for the material file to assign to that material," Lobo says. "What the designer has called the material may not have a direct correlation to the files the CAE user is looking at. The relationship needs to be built so the CAE engineers don't have to guess."
Centralized Solutions
Although engineering companies have created ad hoc databases to help manage these files, new materials management solutions are a better way to centralize and control the flow of these files throughout the design and simulation process.
"We see companies in the past that have introduced more complex ways of managing and versioning individual files. However, we see a trend toward storage and management of the underlying data and generating card formats on the fly from this," Cherns says.
At Granta, for example, the company provides customers with a single, central source of materials data for simulation. "We then provide our GRANTA MI:Materials Gateway integrations with the major preprocessors to serve up this data on demand directly where analysts are working," Cherns says. "All data provided in this way is fully traceable back to the testing and analysis from which it was generated and can be updated automatically when changes are made."
The problem of material model management then becomes much simpler because the data is managed centrally and the files are generated from the live source.
e-Xstream's Digimat product connects the test data and material models so that users can see how the experimental data was used to create those models. "It's important to be able to connect different types of users," Hébert says.
Datapoint's Matereality product builds a central location for materials and specifications and generates master lists of materials that engineers can use.
"With a click of a button they can transmit to designers a file that can be consumed with these standard names so the designers aren't just typing in whatever they want," Lobo says. "If they have a drop-down list of materials, it removes the variability that can potentially exist."
The system reduces the risk of the simulation team working with the wrong units. The same data can be used to generate files for different solvers, and there is traceability back to a single set of experiments that is controlled by the enterprise. "You really nail the whole thing down to the floor, and that reduces the possibility of errors," Lobo says.
Having a central repository also requires users to create standard nomenclature around the material data, and makes sure end users know how those models are named and how to search for them.
"It's not always easy to get all of those departments talking to each other," Hébert says. "This really relies on deployment of a system across the full enterprise."
Change management processes are also important so that there are designated staffers in charge of adding materials and actively managing the material data. Traceability is enabled by having the material files come from a single source. "Each material file is tagged by properties and material name on which it is based," Lobo says. "That's important because material files traditionally do not contain information that gives you traceability of data that was used to make the file in the first place."
These solutions also have to protect intellectual property (IP), which is increasingly important as more companies share data with partners around the globe. "There is a strong link between material data and design choice, and customers have an enormous interest in being able to have strong IP protection of that data," Hébert says. "For example, companies that provide raw materials and composites can provide Tier One automotive users the material data for their simulations, but they don't get to see exactly what is inside that model. That way the material suppliers can support customers with advanced material data, and end users don't feel the need to spend time doing all the material testing and creating models. The key there is to encrypt and share that data with the right people."
Preparing for this type of system involves engaging material engineers, designers and other stakeholders. "Culturally, it's a matter of getting the whole thing under control," Lobo says. "Often there is resistance from the separated teams that have been operating independently for a long time. They have spent a lot of time building these material file collections, so the transition has to be managed carefully and with some degree of diplomacy. Those engineers need to be assured that the transition will be handled correctly. Losing direct control of those files makes them nervous."
Engineering Ingenuity
Chip Conrad, a Ford stamping engineer, led the design of a closed-loop recycling system that yields 5 million pounds a week of high-strength military-grade aluminum scrap. Now in use at three Ford factories, the company is now saving enough recycled high-strength military-grade aluminum alloy to build either 51 commercial jetliners or more than 37,000 new F-Series truck bodies a month.
The main environmental advantage of recycling scrap aluminum is that it takes one-tenth the energy required to reprocess scrap aluminum than it does to make new aluminum, according to the Aluminum Association.
At the heart of this closed-loop recycling system is a large, automated vacuum system and more than two miles of tubes crisscrossing the plants. Developed at Dearborn Stamping Plant, where the F-150 is built, the system is now in use at Kentucky Truck, home to Super Duty, and Buffalo Stamping, which manufactures alloy panels for commercial F-Series trucks.
As doors and fenders are stamped into shape, scrap material is shredded into chips, roughly the size of a dollar bill, which get sucked into the system and routed via a series of computer-controlled gates until the journey ends seconds later in a multi-ton pile in the back of a semi. Think of it as a long water slide ride for aluminum scrap, with a splash landing at the end.
"The system automatically knows which of the four different grades of alloy is being stamped at a given time, then it routes the material into one of four trucks standing by to send it back for reprocessing," says Conrad.

I think the M200 is probably one of the most practical fountain pens out there. It's built well, is a tolerable size, and holds a nice amount of ink. The pen is an OEM design start to finish, and it's a functional one. It has a lot going for it, and that's the reason why I've been carrying two of them for the past eight months.
The size is small. Smaller than I would like – the M600 is really the ideal size for me. I have an M800, and while it is impressive and fun to write with, it starts to feel too large – like I'm compensating for something. But the M200 while a tad small is a very usable size and is slim enough to fit in pen holders that won't tolerate larger pens. The grip is an appropriate distance from the tip of the nib, and there is a nice window for checking the ink level.
The clip is strong, although not with a lot of clearance. It will be fine in suit pockets, but I would hesitate to clip it on many jacket pockets that have thicker trim, or on a thick leather pen loop. The clip is a spring design, so it has the potential to fatigue and break over time.
Unlike the rest of the series, the M200 doesn't have the 'rust ring' just above the nib. I prefer this. I'm not always very fastidious about how clean my pens are, and I've had a Cross Townsend pit on me there. Now I worry about the rest of my pens, and worry is about the last thing I want from any hobby.
The filling mechanism is as you would expect from Pelikan – reliable, simple, and functional. I don't have to fill the pens every couple of days or even every week. They like almost any kind of ink, although the Richard Binder semi-flex nib I have in the yellow one prefers 'safe' inks that flow a little better than the boutique inks. Of course, being a piston filler it doesn't take cartridges. So if you're going on a several month trip to bush country you'd better pack a bottle of ink.
In the black pen I have an italic nib I ground from a medium steel nib that originally came with the yellow pen. Another modification I made was to roughen up the grip area on the black pen with some sandpaper. It didn't make as much of a difference as I'd hoped, and I didn't bother on the yellow pen.
The cap is screw-on, and has multiple threads so it takes just under a revolution to unscrew. This isn't much, and a few times I've either had the cap unscrew unexpectedly, or have found it with the cap off. A mental note to tighten the cap before storage has solved that problem. The cap posts perfectly – firmly attached without leaving any marks. I used to be against posting, this pen changed my mind.
This pen is a great user fountain pen. It writes very nice, is reliable, and has the looks to survive any formal encounter. But it's not made of rare materials, nor is it very expensive ($80 give or take, with nib) and between the cost, materials, and interchangeable nibs it encourages experimentation.
Highly recommended.

Ok I have no idea what is happening but I commented on 3 blogs today and none of them are showing up, so I am trying again. If you get two comments from me, Sorry!! Anyways, my original comment was along the lines of...you did amazing on whole 30!!! I have heard a lot about it but am afraid to try because I am SO PICKY. But I am thinking I should look into it to kick start my healthier eating. I need to drink more water too. I do great up through lunch, then after that I just stop. I get too busy I guess. Have a great week! Good luck!ReplyDelete
Great job on completing the Whole 30! 12.5 pounds is fantastic! You deserved a little cheat...lol. I have learned that there are certain foods for me that I do better if I just avoid them completely as well. It sounds like it was very beneficial for you. I agree it is a lifestyle change and NOT a diet. Good luck with your water and exercise goals this week.ReplyDelete

National Brain Tumor Society Public Policy and Advocacy Update
Vol. 5, No. 2
Head to the Hill Registration Deadline is April 3 - Sign Up Today
Taking Our Cause to Congress and the President: 2015 Legislative Agenda
Head to the Hill – Sign Up Today!
Taking Our Cause to Congress and the President: 2015 Legislative Agenda
The new Congress convened in January and already there has been a flurry of new bills aimed at both of these goals. Two legislative initiatives stand out in particular. Representative Fred Upton of Michigan, Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and Rep. Diana DeGette of Colorado have led a highly inclusive effort to develop legislation aimed at improving patient input into the drug development process and to accelerate drug development called the 21st Century Cures Initiative. They have included in their legislation, a proposal by Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas to help make it easier for doctors to secure not-yet-approved drugs for compassionate use. National Brain Tumor Society is working with Congressional staff to advocate for key provisions of the legislation and is urging improvements as well.
We are also encouraged by Rep. Rosa DeLauro from Connecticut and Sen. Barbara Mikulski's (MD) legislation called the Accelerating Biomedical Research Act that would create a more stable funding platform for the National Institutes of Health including the National Cancer Institute (NCI). As we have described before, even the small increases provided by Congress to the National Cancer Institute cannot keep pace with the rate of inflation, thus the number of grants awarded by the NCI has continued to decline.
Now is not the time for disinvestment in biomedical research. For example, thanks to the congressionally funded Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project – we now know about how similar certain low-grade and high-grade brain tumors can be and what that could mean for future treatment approaches.
At the Table: Our work with the Executive Branch
We will be both monitoring and reporting on key federal policy issues and advocating through letters, testimony and comments for the record throughout the year. Stay tuned for more information.

What is Probate in New Jersey?
Probate is a judicially supervised process for gathering a decedent's assets, paying taxes and claims, and distributing assets to the beneficiaries. Probate is only necessary when a person dies with assets titled and owned in his or her name individually. Assets in a living trust, revocable trust, irrevocable trust, property that is jointly owned or with a beneficiary designation does not go through the probate process in this state. Probate has a bad reputation. Sometimes rightfully so, but not always.
We can explain the pros and cons of New Jersey probate to you in simple, plain English. To learn more about probate in New Jersey, go to our page entitled "Understanding the Probate Process in NJ". You'll get a good overview on the subject.
Here's a real life testimonial – Noreika Sanderson – Weehauken, New Jersey and New York City, New York
"I was in a panic. My fiancee passed away and I was named as a beneficiary of a valuable piece of real estate in Hudson County, New Jersey under his Will. Adding to my grief was the decision of the Executor to ignore the language of his Will and then he refused to convey ownership of the real estate to me.
What were my rights? What could I do? I called various people for a referral to an attorney experienced in probate litigation. Mr. Niemann was recommended to me and immediately he took charge. He filed a lawsuit against the Executor and aggressively fought for me throughout the legal process. He would not compromise or settle for less than I deserved under the Will. A trial took place and Mr. Niemann tried the case for me to the end. He was prepared and his office and associates offered tremendous assistance to me and Mr. Niemann in getting the case ready for trial.
Today, I am the owner of the property my fiancee intended for me to have. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Mr. Niemann and his very capable office."

Let's be honest. Peak TV is a blessing and a chore. There are simply too many shows to watch, and there's also a back catalogue filled with classics that people are constantly recommending. If it all seems a bit overwhelming, then there's an easy solution. Spoil yourself, and avoid hours on the couch. The shows on this list are well worth watching, of course, but there are also other things that have to be done. Time is finite, unfortunately.
Besides, it's not like spoilers will truly ruin the experience of watching these shows. For many of them, plot is only a vehicle to deliver laughs, themes, or fairly complex ideas. Spoiling them gives you a sense of which shows may ultimately align with your tastes, and it allows you to appreciate the execution of specific moments even more. With all that in mind, here are 15 Huge TV Shows Spoiled So You Don't Have To Watch Them.
15 Westworld
Westworld set Reddit on fire with theories and predictions about the twists and turns of the show. If you didn't watch it, most of these things can be summarized fairly quickly. The show takes place inside a western theme park filled with androids designed to please their guests. Over the course of the season, a series of mysteries are set up and explained, and we eventually come to learn that one of the men (Bernard) running the park is actually a robot, and the other (Ford) has been quietly planning a robot rebellion all season.
Meanwhile, the season also follows several robots as they begin to gain consciousness and come to understand that they are being constantly used and abused by the guests of the park. All of these elements culminate in a finale in which the robot uprising begins, and Ford orchestrates his own suicide through Dolores, a robot in the park whose story is actually being told over the course of several decades rather than in the present like everyone else. Now, Westworld appears to be a world for the robots, not the humans.
14 Friends
The story of six friends living through the beginnings of adulthood, Friends' biggest spoiler comes from the relationship between Ross and Rachel, the on again/off again couple who have a child together before officially pairing off. Along the way, all of the characters fall in and out of love, and they mature in improbably spacious apartments.
In the end, Monica and Chandler wind up together, and the quirky Phoebe finds a husband as well. Ross and Rachel manage to commit to one another in the series finale, and Joey becomes the sole bachelor on the show. Monica and Chandler end up adopting children, and Ross winds up marrying three different women, including Rachel, over the course of the series. Really, though, Friends is all about growing up, and learning from the people who you care the most about. It's a show about making friends into family, and it's also a pretty solid sitcom.
13 Stranger Things
There are few shows people have been more excited about this year than Stranger Things. For a brief period this summer, it was the only thing anyone was talking about. Using the '80s as a cultural reference, Stranger Things is a monster story at its heart, one that begins after a kid named Will disappears from the small town of Hawkins, Indiana. From there, we meet Eleven, a young girl with supernatural abilities who helps the boy's friends find him. Meanwhile, his mother and the local sheriff also investigate the boy's disappearance, and discover some shady dealings within the Department of Energy.
Eventually, the characters discover that a monster has taken Will into an alternate dimension called The Upside Down, and are forced to venture into that realm to find him. Meanwhile, the monster invades the local high school, and Eleven appears to sacrifice herself in order to destroy it. The show leaves things there, promising to find Eleven during the show's second season.
12 Mad Men
The story of Don Draper's career at an advertising agency was told over seven marvelous seasons on Mad Men, a lengthy series that is admittedly difficult to spoil. As the period drama progresses, Draper loses two wives, and develops a complicated relationship with Peggy, a character who rises up the ranks of the agency as the series progresses. We also discover that Don Draper is actually a pseudonym-- one he adopted from a dead man.
Draper's history with hiding his past is played out over the course of the series, and we also see Draper start a new ad agency, which he eventually runs from as the series ends. After joining a hippie commune in 1970, (the series starts in the 1950s), the final shot shows Draper meditating before he cracks an enormous smile. For a moment, it seems like he's reached genuine nirvana, but the show quickly cuts to the "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke" ad that used a message of peace and love to sell a product. Draper didn't find comfort. He just had a great ad idea.
11 The X-Files
The X-Files took two simple television ideas: the detective show and the science fiction show, and smashed them together into a completely unique series. Using the "monster of the week" formula for which it is now well known, The X-Files told compelling stories and was hugely influential to the genre TV that followed it.
Scully was the natural skeptic, and rarely believed many of Mulder's theories about paranormal activity and extraterrestrial life. Eventually, she is forced to confront the supernatural, and becomes a reluctant believer, often using science to explain unnatural phenomena. Mulder and Scully also develop a romantic relationship as the series progresses, and Scully is eventually forced to team up with other agents after Mulder is kidnapped. Mulder also uncovers a conspiracy related to an alien invasion as the series advances, and they are eventually forced to fight against the invasion as the aliens begin to take control of the government. The two end the series as fugitives, capping off an adventure that lasted nine seasons, and a six episode revival.
10 Battlestar Galactica
Battlestar Galactica follows humanity on the brink of extinction, after they have been almost completely wiped out by the Cylons. Initially, the show was focused on humans attempting to find Earth, a long forgotten colony that promises salvation. These humans often do battle with the Cylons-- sentient machines that humans created themselves. Eventually, humanity joins forces with a faction of Cylons following a civil war within the Cylons,
The surviving humans and Cylons settle on a new planet, and decide to discard their technology and begin again. The series ends in modern day Manhattan, where it's revealed that the entire show has been a glimpse into our past, not our future. This reinforces the show's core ideas about cycles of violence, and illuminates the ways in which technological progress doesn't always correspond with a change in morals. To put it succinctly: all of this has happened before, but will it happen again?
9 Twin Peaks
Surreal from beginning to end, Twin Peaks was way ahead of its time, and probably still is. The show follows FBI agent Dale Cooper, who is sent to a strange small town to investigate the murder of Laura Palmer, a high school girl who shows up dead in the show's pilot. From there, the show spirals into insanity as the agent investigates the murder, and eventually becomes consumed by the strange goings-on in the town.
The series eventually reveals that Laura, the homecoming queen, was living a double life involving a biker boyfriend and heaps of cocaine. A number of suspects for her murder are examined and discarded, and Cooper is plagued with cryptic dreams that offer hints as to who committed the crime. Eventually, a man is found guilty, but claims to be possessed by a spirit named Bob and eventually commits suicide. Cooper is initially planning to leave Twin Peaks following the revelation, but gets possessed by Bob himself, in a cliffhanger ending. Twin Peaks was pretty weird.

8 The Wire
The Wire was a bold, unique take on the crime genre, and its five season run is certainly worth a watch. The simplest way to spoil The Wire is to explain that its larger point is about a broken system that forces good people to sling drugs and keeps cops, educators and politicians from doing their jobs properly. Omar, a thief who steals from dealers, is undoubtedly the show's standout character, which is why it came as a shock to so many when he was abruptly killed near the end of the show's run.
Still Omar's death, which is probably the show's biggest spoiler, only serves to reinforce the idea at the center of the series that the world of the show is a brutal and real one. The drug dealers aren't really bad guys, and the cops aren't really good guys. Even the most idealistic of men can be corrupted, and it's our institutions themselves that are broken.
7 How I Met Your Mother
The gimmick with How I Met Your Mother was always that this was a story we were being told. Ted, our protagonist, is explaining to his children exactly how he met their mother, and taking quite a long time to do so. Over the course of nine seasons, we watch Ted and his friends fall in and out of love, switch careers, and do all the normal things sitcom characters do over the course of a wildly popular series. It wasn't until the final season that Ted actually met the infamous mother, but the show wasn't done yet.
To the displeasure of its fans, the series ends after the mother has died, and with the kids revealing to their father how stupid he's been. The story he's been telling isn't really about their mother; it's about Robin, the girl he met in the pilot who he's actually been in love with this whole time. It's sweet in theory, but it didn't actually jive with much of the rest of the series, and actually undercut some of the character arcs that the series had worked so hard to develop throughout its run.
6 The Sopranos
The original prestige drama, The Sopranos is also a long and sprawling series that requires a hefty time commitment. It follows a mafia family living in New Jersey, and takes the time to illuminate the many personalities that inhabit the family. Over the course of the show's run, dozens of people get whacked, as is fitting a show about a mob boss.
Ultimately, what makes the show so unique, though, is the way it digs deep into the mind of Tony Soprano, who often has panic attacks as a result of his professional and personal obligations. The show's ending is also one of the most controversial ever produced, as we see Tony sitting in a diner with family, before discovering that a man has pulled up to whack Tony and his family. Instead of showing us this altercation, the camera simply cuts to black. The Sopranos biggest spoiler is one it hid even from its viewers.
5 Buffy the Vampire Slayer
A hugely influential series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer's seven seasons are a heck of a lot of content. The series follows Buffy, a chosen vampire slayer who is forced to fight against the forces of darkness while trying to lead a normal young adult existence. Typically, each season is structured around a Big Bad; an entity that must be dealt with in one form or another during the show's season finale. As the series progresses, these big bads get bigger and badder, and eventually Buffy's best friend Willow (temporarily) becomes one of them.
Over the course of the series, Buffy dies several times, and is often forced to contemplate her feelings about the world she's constantly forced to save. She also hooks up with a couple of hot vampires. Although it steers into its B movie aesthetic, Buffy also takes its characters seriously, and uses its extensive runtime effectively. The final is a knock-down drag-out between the forces of evil and an army of newly-created Slayers-- younger women across the world whose potential vampire-slaying abilities were activated by a spell Willow cast. Buffy empowered girls right until its final moments.
4 The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead should probably be a lot more fun than it often is. The show's premise uses the zombie apocalypse as a vehicle for examining the darker corners of humanity's impulses. Unfortunately, that tone can get rather dour, and there's only so much suffering a viewer can take before it becomes tiresome. Over the course of the series, Rick, the show's protagonist, kills his best friend, loses his wife, and also many other members of his group.
In recent seasons, the show has introduced mega-villain Negan, a powerful adversary for Rick and the gang who proved his dominance most recently by killing off Abraham and Glenn, one of the few characters who has been a member of Rick's group since the very beginning. Of course, Glenn is far from the first to die on the show, though he is among the show's most major deaths and the first vital character killed in quite a while. His death also led many quit the show as it was incredibly drawn out and brutal.
3 Lost
The ultimate theory-feeding show, Lost took six seasons to tell a sprawling epic tale that was often moving and occasionally rather silly. It tells the story of plane crash survivors who end up stranded on a mysterious island, and grow to love one another as they deal with the threats the island poses. Ultimately, some survivors leave the island, only to return to save those they left behind.
Ultimately, Lost is a difficult show to spoil, in part because much of its plot sounds stupider in summary than it plays out on screen. The show raises dozens, if not hundreds of questions, over the course of its run, and it ultimately ends with all of the show's major players in the afterlife, united by a mutual feeling of affection for one another. Along the way, they run into the island's native inhabitants, time travel to various points in the island's past and future, and fight a giant smoke monster and a few polar bears. It's a wild ride.
2 Game of Thrones
A sprawling series if there ever was one, Game of Thrones follows the political machinations of an entire kingdom, and looks at many of the country's most powerful players. Over the course of the early seasons, we see a struggle for the throne of power, and also come to understand that the real threat may be coming from the ice zombies that threaten humanity as a species.
These ice zombies, or white walkers, have become a much larger focus in later seasons. Of course, Game of Thrones is also notorious for killing off major characters, usually the heroic kinds, just as they seem to be hitting their stride. This started with Ned Stark, and was followed up at the Red Wedding, where Stark's wife and heir were ruthlessly slaughtered. Dozens of others have fallen over the show's bloody run, proving that this world is built, at least partially, on the shocks that it can still deliver to audiences. The recent death that got everyone talking was Jon Snow's-- the illegitimate Stark who seemed poised to be the hero of the series was betrayed and stabbed to death. The show held off on resurrecting him... for two whole episodes.
1 Breaking Bad
Breaking Bad is undoubtedly a thrilling journey from start to finish, but it can also be kind of a bummer. The show follows a high school chemistry teacher who discovers that he has terminal lung cancer, and decides to start cooking meth in order to ensure that he leaves his family with enough money to get by. Of course, as the series progresses, the cancer becomes less and less important, and Walter White, the protagonist, begins to act more and more out of greed nad malice.
The series tracks Walter as he disposes of opponents, most notably Gus Fring, and also deals with his brother-in-law, who also happens to be a DEA agent. As the series sprints towards a conclusion, many of its characters, including Walt's brother-in-law and Walt himself, are killed off. In the end, only Walt's cooking partner and better angel Jesse Pinkman is left standing, hopefully moving toward a future much less horrific than his past.
What show do you wish you'd been spoiled for rather than watching it? Let us know in the comments.

NGS Sequencing
|Test Code

|Individual Gene Price
|CPT Code Copy CPT Codes
Pricing Comment
Our most cost-effective testing approach is NextGen sequencing with Sanger sequencing supplemented as needed to ensure sufficient coverage and to confirm NextGen calls that are pathogenic, likely pathogenic or of uncertain significance. If, however, full gene Sanger sequencing only is desired (for purposes of insurance billing or STAT turnaround time for example), please see link below for Test Code, pricing, and turnaround time information.
Targeted Testing
For ordering targeted known variants, please proceed to our Targeted Variants landing page.
Turnaround Time
The great majority of tests are completed within 20 days.
Clinical Sensitivity
Clinical sensitivity is problematic to predict due to genetic heterogeneity of these disorders and the paucity of documented cases. Analytical sensitivity may be high because all ANKS6 mutations reported to date are expected to be detected by direct sequencing of genomic DNA.
Clinical Features
Nephronophthisis (NPH) is the most common genetic cause of progressive renal failure in children and young adults. NPH is characterized by polyuria, growth retardation and progressive deterioration of renal function with normal or slightly reduced kidney size (Hildebrandt et al. 1997; Hildebrandt et al. 2009). Nephronophthisis, when associated with Leber Congenital Amaurosis, is known as Senior-Loken syndrome (Otto et al. 2005; Hildebrandt et al. 2009). NPH clinical features overlap with a group of diseases known as ciliopathies, which includes Meckel-Gruber syndrome (OMIM 249000), Joubert syndrome (OMIM 213300), Bardet-Biedl syndrome (OMIM 209900), and Senior-Loken syndrome (OMIM# 609294). Situs inversus is a laterality defect where the visceral and thoracic organs are reversed from their normal positions (Sutherland and Ware 2009).
NPH is a genetically heterogeneous disorder caused by mutations in at least 14 genes, including ANKS6 (Hoff et al. 2013; Taskiran et al. 2014). ANKS6-related NPH is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. NPH is caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins involved in cilia/centrosome structure, maintenance or function (Hildebrandt et al. 2009). ANKS6 is required to localize NPHP3/NEK8 complex to the axoneme (Hoff et al. 2013). Individuals with biallelic pathogenic variants in ANKS6 are reported to have had polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Individuals with missense variants had PKD with normal sized kidneys, while those with splicing or truncating variants had PKD with enlarged kidneys and liver fibrosis, congenital heart defects and situs inversus (Hoff et al. 2013; Taskiran et al. 2014).
Testing Strategy
For this NextGen test, the full coding regions plus ~10 bp of non-coding DNA flanking each exon are sequenced for the gene listed below. Sequencing is accomplished by capturing specific regions with an optimized solution-based hybridization kit, followed by massively parallel sequencing of the captured DNA fragments. Additional Sanger sequencing is performed for any regions not captured or with insufficient number of sequence reads. All pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or variants of uncertain significance are confirmed by Sanger sequencing.
Indications for Test
This test is for patients with nephronophthisis (NPH) with or without liver fibrosis, congenital heart defects and situs inversus.

NextGen Sequencing using PG-Select Capture Probes
Test Procedure
We use a combination of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and Sanger sequencing technologies to cover the full coding regions of the listed genes plus ~20 bases of non-coding DNA flanking each exon. As required, genomic DNA is extracted from the patient specimen. For NGS, patient DNA corresponding to these regions is captured using an optimized set of DNA hybridization probes. Captured DNA is sequenced using Illumina's Reversible Dye Terminator (RDT) platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). Regions with insufficient coverage by NGS are covered by Sanger sequencing. All pathogenic, likely pathogenic, or variants of uncertain significance are confirmed by Sanger sequencing.
For Sanger sequencing, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is used to amplify targeted regions. After purification of the PCR products, cycle sequencing is carried out using the ABI Big Dye Terminator v.3.0 kit. PCR products are resolved by electrophoresis on an ABI 3730xl capillary sequencer. In nearly all cases, cycle sequencing is performed separately in both the forward and reverse directions.
Patient DNA sequence is aligned to the genomic reference sequence for the indicated gene region(s). All differences from the reference sequences (sequence variants) are assigned to one of five interpretation categories, listed below, per ACMG Guidelines (Richards et al. 2015).
(1) Pathogenic Variants
(2) Likely Pathogenic Variants
(3) Variants of Uncertain Significance
(4) Likely Benign Variants
(5) Benign, Common Variants
Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS) recommendations are used to describe sequence variants (http://www.hgvs.org). Rare variants and undocumented variants are nearly always classified as likely benign if there is no indication that they alter protein sequence or disrupt splicing.
Analytical Validity
As of March 2016, 6.36 Mb of sequence (83 genes, 1557 exons) generated in our lab was compared between Sanger and NextGen methodologies. We detected no differences between the two methods. The comparison involved 6400 total sequence variants (differences from the reference sequences). Of these, 6144 were nucleotide substitutions and 256 were insertions or deletions. About 65% of the variants were heterozygous and 35% homozygous. The insertions and deletions ranged in length from 1 to over 100 nucleotides.
In silico validation of insertions and deletions in 20 replicates of 5 genes was also performed. The validation included insertions and deletions of lengths between 1 and 100 nucleotides. Insertions tested in silico: 2200 between 1 and 5 nucleotides, 625 between 6 and 10 nucleotides, 29 between 11 and 20 nucleotides, 25 between 21 and 49 nucleotides, and 23 at or greater than 50 nucleotides, with the largest at 98 nucleotides. All insertions were detected. Deletions tested in silico: 1813 between 1 and 5 nucleotides, 97 between 6 and 10 nucleotides, 32 between 11 and 20 nucleotides, 20 between 21 and 49 nucleotides, and 39 at or greater than 50 nucleotides, with the largest at 96 nucleotides. All deletions less than 50 nucleotides in length were detected, 13 greater than 50 nucleotides in length were missed. Our standard NextGen sequence variant calling algorithms are generally not capable of detecting insertions (duplications) or heterozygous deletions greater than 100 nucleotides. Large homozygous deletions appear to be detectable.
Analytical Limitations
Interpretation of the test results is limited by the information that is currently available. Better interpretation should be possible in the future as more data and knowledge about human genetics and this specific disorder are accumulated.
When Sanger sequencing does not reveal any difference from the reference sequence, or when a sequence variant is homozygous, we cannot be certain that we were able to detect both patient alleles. Occasionally, a patient may carry an allele which does not amplify, due to a large deletion or insertion. In these cases, the report will contain no information about the second allele. Our Sanger and NGS Sequencing tests are generally not capable of detecting Copy Number Variants (CNVs).
We sequence all coding exons for each given transcript, plus ~20 bp of flanking non-coding DNA for each exon. Test reports contain no information about other portions of the gene, such as regulatory domains, deep intronic regions or any currently uncharacterized alternative exons.
In most cases, we are unable to determine the phase of sequence variants. In particular, when we find two likely causative mutations for recessive disorders, we cannot be certain that the mutations are on different alleles.
Our ability to detect minor sequence variants due to somatic mosaicism is limited. Sequence variants that are present in less than 50% of the patient's nucleated cells may not be detected.
Runs of mononucleotide repeats (eg (A)n or (T)n) with n >8 in the reference sequence are generally not analyzed because of strand slippage during PCR.
Unless otherwise indicated, DNA sequence data is obtained from a specific cell-type (usually leukocytes from whole blood). Test reports contain no information about the DNA sequence in other cell-types.
We cannot be certain that the reference sequences are correct.
Rare, low probability interpretations of sequencing results, such as for example the occurrence of de novo mutations in recessive disorders, are generally not included in the reports.
We have confidence in our ability to track a specimen once it has been received by PreventionGenetics. However, we take no responsibility for any specimen labeling errors that occur before the sample arrives at PreventionGenetics.

It's hard for the DocKtor to admit that his eyes are getting older, especially since he moonlights as a Soccer Referee, but alas I do lose track of my mouse from time to time. This happens most often when using six or so monitors. I just cannot find the cursor (or see it) on a monitor even when I move the mouse around and around. Fortunately, some folks at Microsoft appear to have the same issue so they implemented a useful setting in the Mouse Properties of the Device Manager. The DocKtor checked the box for Show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key as shown below. This makes a soft of radar like wave thing pulse for a second when I press the CTRL key, making it much easier to find the mouse pointer.

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Information about Athens State University LVN to RN program, registering for degree programs, and taking tests for free online. You can enter nursing with either an associates degree or BSN. As a licensed vocational nurse (LVN), you may provide patient care under the supervision of a registered nurse (RN). If you complete the LVN to RN program program, for example, there are a variety of concentrations that may appeal to you such as clinical research, mental health jobs, or occupational rehabilitation. Check with the nursing department for an updated schedule of classes, registration deadlines, and a list of LVN to RN program requirements. Due to advances in medical systems, there is a growing skill-shortage of registered nurses, and of qualified medical personnel in general. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Athens State University.To become a Registered Nurse (RN), you will be required to take courses in medical terminology, patient care and life sciences. Although associate degree programs provide students with adequate nursing training, the forensic nursing program provides greater clinical exposure and a stronger general education. An RN has to cope with more responsibility, and must oversee the work of LPNs and CNAs under their supervision. Job openings in forensic nursing are projected to grow 25% over the coming decade. The average salary for nurses with an associates degree was $43,700 in 2015, while forensic nurses with a bachelors degree earned $67,490 per year.
Certification requirements include board certification by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) and the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). The license period for the forensic nursing program varies by individual state, but is usually valid for either two or three years. Registered nurses (RNs) are not required to be certified in a particular specialty by state law. For example, it isn't necessary to be a Certified Medical-Surgical Registered Nurse (CMSRN) to work on a hospital forensic nursing floor, and most MedSurg nurses are not CMSRNs. There are a fixed number of credits that each state requires, and if you work in a hospital facility, an accelerated BSN program may be offered on-site.

Something that Joe Orton raised, and that I've been looking into in more detail. The copy_body function currently only supports file buckets, which specifically excludes buckets generated by say mod_proxy, or mod_cgi. From my testing, for these non file buckets, the response is downloaded and cached fully, then the client gets fed data. Initially I understood this as an optimisation specific to files, assuming that file buckets were the only buckets that could potentially exceed available RAM, but the case where non file buckets are present is currently unhandled. In theory, the copy body should be able to read from any brigade, rather than just a file brigade, in such a way that it doesn't try and load 4.7GB into RAM at once for file buckets. I am jetlagged right now and can't think straight any more today, will carry on looking at this tomorrow :) Regards, Graham --
