- I have been happily married for many years to such a tolerant easy going husband. Who has encouraged me throughout every hobby undertaken. My children have long flown the nest leaving me to have 'My Time' now. So after years of mastering every challenge I could, I finally found my niche in the world of wedding accessories for guests. I am at my happiest designing and creating, whether it be Hair Fascinators or Silk Corsages to match any colour, titivating Hats & Handbags so that they are individual or embroidering special personalized Ring Pillows. I am found most days literally buried up to my neck in feathers and all the other goodies in my treasure chest, working on the next idea

The squabs are gone. No one saw them go. To be honest, I had forgotton about them until now. But they have flown the nest. And they've left it in a bit of a state.
Newly-fledged birds flying the nest might seem the ideal jumping off point for a post on learning, and growth, and maturity. But in truth most of our students are fully-fledged long before they arrive here; our job is more like those volunteers who rescue seagulls from oil-slicks, the oil in this image being the accretion of error and bad habit, perhaps. Our students come in looking a little dishevelled and bewildered, and we scrub them up with a toothbrush (not literally!) and send them back out to their native habitat.
Not just restored, however, but better-equipped – and here my analogy breaks down, since I'm not sure how you better-equip an albatross, say, for life at sea. People, unlike squabs or gulls, are tool-using animals, and in the knowledge economy a more sprightly, less encumbered command of English counts as a useful tool.
And so we wish both our departed squabs and our out-going students not a tearful, but a proud farewell.
And I should perhaps offer up a toast. Tomorrow, for those who don't know, is World Sake Day. Here at OISE we are right behind this initiative and indeed all World Alcohol Days. Unfortunately we are unable to pursue our enthusiasm in any sort of active way here at the school (not least because sake is a little hard to come by in Cambridge; by which I mean, they don't sell it at the Co-op), which perhaps is just as well. We don't want to encumber our students' mental tool-kit any more than necessary.

Well Guarded.
Why do we need Tamper Evident & Security Packaging?
Tampering involves the deliberate altering or adulteration of information, a product, a package or system. No single solution can be considered as "tamper proof", but RollsPack offers a range of security features which can be implemented to make it as a protected as possible. Some of the security considerations we examine at RollsPack include:
- Identifying a potential offender
- Improving the tamper resistance
- Adding features to indicate the existence of tampering
- Identify methods of unauthorized access
- Considering secondary methods
- Controlling or limiting access
- Educating people on evidence of tampering
By making it as difficult to tamper with the product, package, or system in these ways, RollsPack's tamper evident bags both prevent tampering from occurring and allow you to see that it has if it occurs.
What security level suits your needs?
In order to make our process as clear as possible, RollsPack has divided our security products into 4 categories. These range from low-risk items, such as courier and express satchels, to high-risk items, including police evidence bags and highly sensitive documentation.

Aliskiren (Tekturna®)
Drug Category: Renin Inhibitor.
Indication: Treatment of hypertension, alone or in combination
with other antihypertensive agents.
Dosing (Adults):
Hypertension: Initial: 150 mg once daily; may increase to 300 mg once daily (maximum: 300 mg/day). Note: Prior to initiation, correct hypovolemia and/or closely monitor volume status in patients on concurrent diuretics during treatment
Renal dosing:
Mild-to-moderate impairment [GFR >30 mL/minute and/or Scr <1.7 mg/dL (women); Scr <2 mg/dL (men)]: No dose adjustment required. Severe impairment [GFR<30 mL/minute and/or Scr >1.7 mg/dL (women); Scr >2 mg/dL (men)]: Use caution; not studied in severe renal impairment.
Administration: Administer at the same time daily; may take with or without a meal, but consistent administration with regards to meals is recommended. Avoid taking with high-fat meals.
Supplied: Tablet: 150 mg, 300 mg
bosentan (tracleer ®)
Endothelin receptor antagonist.
Adult (usual) Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH): initial, 62.5 mg po bid x 4 weeks. Maintenance (PAH): up to 125 mg po bid. Doses above 125 mg b.i.d. did not appear to confer additional benefit sufficient to offset the increased risk of liver injury.
Monitoring: monitor liver function before and during therapy. Monitor hemoglobin levels after 1 and 3 months, then every 3 months monthly.
[Supplied: 62.5, 125 mg tablets]
clonidine (Catapres ®)
Clonidine stimulates alpha-adrenoreceptors in the brain stem. This action results in reduced sympathetic outflow from the central nervous system and in decreases in peripheral resistance, renal vascular resistance, heart rate, and blood pressure. Clonidine hydrochloride acts relatively rapidly. The patient's blood pressure declines within 30 to 60 minutes after an oral dose, the maximum decrease occurring within 2 to 4 hours. Renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate remain essentially unchanged. Normal postural reflexes are intact; therefore, orthostatic symptoms are mild and infrequent.
Acute studies with clonidine hydrochloride in humans have demonstrated a moderate reduction (15% to 20%) of cardiac output in the supine position with no change in the peripheral resistance: at a 45° tilt there is a smaller reduction in cardiac output and a decrease of peripheral resistance. During long-term therapy, cardiac output tends to return to control values, while peripheral resistance remains decreased. Slowing of the pulse rate has been observed in most patients given clonidine, but the drug does not alter normal hemodynamic response to exercise.
Tolerance to the antihypertensive effect may develop in some patients, necessitating a re-evaluation of therapy.
Other studies in patients have provided evidence of a reduction in plasma renin activity and in the excretion of aldosterone and catecholamines. The exact relationship of these pharmacologic actions to the antihypertensive effect of clonidine has not been fully elucidated.
Clonidine acutely stimulates growth hormone release in both children and adults, but does not produce a chronic elevation of growth hormone with long-term use.
The plasma level of clonidine peaks in approximately 3 to 5 hours and the plasma half-life ranges from 12 to 16 hours. The half-life increases up to 41 hours in patients with severe impairment of renal function. Following oral administration about 40–60% of the absorbed dose is recovered in the urine as unchanged drug in 24 hours. About 50% of the absorbed dose is metabolized in the liver.
Clonidine hydrochloride is indicated in the treatment of hypertension. Clonidine hydrochloride may be employed alone or concomitantly with other antihypertensive agents.
Adults: The dose of clonidine hydrochloride must be adjusted according to the patient's individual blood pressure response. The following is a general guide to its administration.
Initial Dose
0.1 mg tablet twice daily (morning and bedtime). Elderly patients may benefit from a lower initial dose.
Maintenance Dose
Further increments of 0.1 mg per day may be made at weekly intervals if necessary until the desired response is achieved. Taking the larger portion of the oral daily dose at bedtime may minimize transient adjustment effects of dry mouth and drowsiness. The therapeutic doses most commonly employed have ranged from 0.2 mg to 0.6 mg per day given in divided doses. Studies have indicated that 2.4 mg is the maximum effective daily dose, but doses as high as this have rarely been employed.
Hypertensive urgency: Initial 0.1-0.2 mg x 1, then 0.1 mg q1h prn, to a maximum total dose of 0.6 mg
0.1 mg, 0.2 mg, 0.3 mg
Apply Clonidine Transdermal Systems once every 7 days to a hairless area of intact skin on the upper outer arm or chest. Each new application of Clonidine Transdermal System should be on a different skin site from the previous location. If the system loosens during 7-day wearing, the adhesive cover should be applied directly over the system to ensure good adhesion. There have been rare reports of the need for patch changes prior to 7 days to maintain blood pressure control.
To initiate therapy, Clonidine Transdermal System dosage should be titrated according to individual therapeutic requirements, starting with Clonidine Transdermal System 0.1 mg. If after one or two weeks the desired reduction in blood pressure is not achieved, increase the dosage by adding another Clonidine Transdermal System 0.1 mg or changing to a larger system. An increase in dosage above two Clonidine Transdermal System 0.3 mg is usually not associated with additional efficacy.
When substituting Clonidine Transdermal System for oral clonidine or for other antihypertensive drugs, physicians should be aware that the antihypertensive effect of Clonidine Transdermal System may not commence until 2-3 days after initial application. Therefore, gradual reduction of prior drug dosage is advised. Some or all previous antihypertensive treatment may have to be continued, particularly in patients with more severe forms of hypertension.
Renal Impairment: Dosage must be adjusted according to the degree of impairment, and patients should be carefully monitored. Since only a minimal amount of clonidine is removed during routine hemodialysis, there is no need to give supplemental clonidine following dialysis.
Clonidine Transdermal Systems 0.1 mg, Clonidine Transdermal Systems 0.2 mg, and Clonidine Transdermal Systems 0.3 mg are supplied as 4 pouched systems and 4 adhesive covers per carton.
Renal Impairment
Dosage must be adjusted according to the degree of impairment, and patients should be carefully monitored. Since only a minimal amount of clonidine is removed during routine hemodialysis, there is no need to give supplemental clonidine following dialysis.
epoprostenol (Flolan ®)
Epoprostenol (PGI2, prostacyclin): a naturally occurring prostaglandin
with potent vasodilatory activity and inhibitory activity of platelet
aggregation. Indication: long-term intravenous treatment of primary
pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary hypertension associated with the
scleroderma spectrum of disease in NYHA Class III and Class IV patients
who do not respond adequately to conventional therapy.
Dosage - Adult (usual) Pulmonary hypertension: initial, 2 ng/kg/min IV, titrate upward in increments of 2 ng/kg/min every 15 min or longer until dose-limiting pharmacological effects are elicited or until tolerance develops.
Administration: reconstitute only with supplied diluent; do not give with other parenteral medications. Infuse continuous chronic infusion via a central venous catheter with an ambulatory infusion pump - may be administered peripherally until central catheter established. Avoid abrupt withdrawal. Anticipate need for periodic dose adjustments.
fenoldopam (Corlopam ®)
Mechanism of Action
Fenoldopam is a rapid-acting vasodilator. It is an agonist for D1-like dopamine receptors and binds with moderate affinity to 2-adrenoceptors. It has no significant affinity for D2-like receptors, 1 and adrenoceptors, 5HT1 and 5HT2 receptors, or muscarinic receptors. Fenoldopam is a racemic mixture with the R-isomer responsible for the biological activity. The R-isomer has approximately 250-fold higher affinity for D1-like receptors than does the S-isomer. In non-clinical studies, fenoldopam had no agonist effect on presynaptic D2-like dopamine receptors, or - or -adrenoceptors, nor did it affect angiotensin-converting enzyme activity. Fenoldopam may increase norepinephrine plasma concentration.
In animals, fenoldopam has vasodilating effects in coronary, renal, mesenteric and peripheral arteries. All vascular beds, however, do not respond uniformly to fenoldopam. Vasodilating effects have been demonstrated in renal efferent and afferent arterioles
Adult Patients: Fenoldopam is indicated for the in-hospital, short-term (up to 48 hours) management of severe hypertension when rapid, but quickly reversible, emergency reduction of blood pressure is clinically indicated, including malignant hypertension with deteriorating end-organ function. Transition to oral therapy with another agent can begin at any time after blood pressure is stable during fenoldopam infusion.
Pediatric Patients: Fenoldopam is indicated for the in-hospital, short-term (up to 4 hours) reduction in blood pressure (See Package insert for CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY/Pediatric Patients).
Dosage (adult): Hypertension: initial 0.03-0.1 mcg/kg/min IV; increase every 15 min by 0.05-0.1 mcg/kg/min based on response. Maximum: 1.6 mcg/kg/min. In clinical trials, doses from 0.01-1.6 µg/kg/min have been studied. Most of the effect of a given infusion rate is attained in 15 minutes. A bolus dose should not be used. Hypotension and rapid decreases of blood pressure should be avoided. The initial dose should be titrated upward or downward, no more frequently than every 15 minutes (and less frequently as goal pressure is approached) to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. The recommended increments for titration are 0.05-0.1 µg/kg/min.
[Supplied: 10 mg/ml solution]
hydralazine (Apresoline ®)
Overview: Although the precise mechanism of
action of hydralazine is not fully understood, the major effects are on
the cardiovascular system. Hydralazine apparently lowers blood pressure
by exerting a peripheral vasodilating effect through a direct relaxation
of vascular smooth muscle. Hydralazine, by altering cellular calcium
metabolism, interferes with the calcium movements within the vascular
smooth muscle that are responsible for initiating or maintaining the
contractile state.
The peripheral vasodilating effect of hydralazine results in decreased arterial blood pressure (diastolic more than systolic); decreased peripheral vascular resistance; and an increased heart rate, stroke volume, and cardiac output. The preferential dilatation of arterioles, as compared to veins, minimizes postural hypotension and promotes the increase in cardiac output. Hydralazine usually increases renin activity in plasma, presumably as a result of increased secretion of renin by the renal juxtaglomerular cells in response to reflex sympathetic discharge. This increase in renin activity leads to the production of angiotensin II, which then causes stimulation of aldosterone and consequent sodium reabsorption. Hydralazine also maintains or increases renal and cerebral blood flow.
Hydralazine is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, and peak plasma levels are reached at 1-2 hours. Plasma levels of apparent hydralazine decline with a half-life of 3-7 hours. Binding to human plasma protein is 87% Plasma levels of hydralazine vary widely among individuals. Hydralazine is subject to polymorphic acetylation; slow acetylators generally have higher plasma levels of hydralazine and require lower doses to maintain control of blood pressure. Hydralazine undergoes extensive hepatic metabolism; it is excreted mainly in the form of metabolites in the urine.
Dosing (Adult): Initial (Acute hypertension): 10 mg slow IV bolus ( maximum dose being 20 mg) every 4 to 6 hours as needed. May increase to 40 mg/dose. Change to oral therapy as soon as possible. The fall in blood pressure begins within 10 to 30 minutes and lasts 2 to 4 hours. May also be given IM.
Hypertension (Oral): Initial: 10 mg 4 times/day. Increase by 10-25 mg/dose every 2-5 days (maximum: 300 mg/day). Usual dose range (JNC 7): 25-100 mg/day in 2 divided doses.
Pre-eclampsia/eclampsia: 5 mg/dose (IM, IV) then 5-10 mg every 20-30 minutes as needed.
CHF: Initial dose: 10-25 mg orally 3-4 times/day. Dosage must be adjusted based on individual response. Target dose: 75 mg 4 times daily in combination with isosorbide dinitrate (40 mg 4 times daily). Range: Typically 200-600 mg daily in 2-4 divided doses. Dosages as high as 3 grams per day have been used in some patients for symptomatic and hemodynamic improvement.
Renal dosing: crcl 10-50 ml/min: Administer every 8 hours. crcl <10 ml/min: Administer every 8 to 16 hours in fast acetylators and every 12-24 hours in slow acetylators.
Supplied: Injection (soln): 20 mg/ml (1 ml vial). Tablet: 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg.
methyldopa (Aldomet)
Initiation of Therapy
The usual starting dosage of methyldopa tablet is 250 mg two to three times a day in the first 48 hours. The daily dosage then may be increased or decreased, preferably at intervals of not less than two days, until an adequate response is achieved. To minimize the sedation, start dosage increases in the evening. By adjustment of dosage, morning hypotension may be prevented without sacrificing control of afternoon blood pressure.
When methyldopa is given to patients on other antihypertensives, the dose of these agents may need to be adjusted to effect a smooth transition. When methyldopa is given with anti-hypertensives other than thiazides, the initial dosage of methyldopa should be limited to 500 mg daily in divided doses; when methyldopa is added to a thiazide, the dosage of thiazide need not be changed.
Maintenance of Therapy
The usual daily dosage of methyldopa is 500 mg to 2 g in two to four doses. Although occasional patients have responded to higher doses, the maximum recommended daily dosage is 3 g. Once an effective dosage range is attained, a smooth blood pressure response occurs in most patients in 12 to 24 hours. Since methyldopa has a relatively short duration of action, withdrawal is followed by return of hypertension usually within 48 hours. This is not complicated by an overshoot of blood pressure.
Occasionally tolerance may occur, usually between the second and third month of therapy. Adding a diuretic or increasing the dosage of methyldopa frequently will restore effective control of blood pressure. A thiazide may be added at any time during methyldopa therapy and is recommended if therapy has not been started with a thiazide or if effective control of blood pressure cannot be maintained on 2 g of methyldopa daily.
Methyldopa is largely excreted by the kidney and patients with impaired renal function may respond to smaller doses. Syncope in older patients may be related to an increased sensitivity and advanced arteriosclerotic vascular disease. This may be avoided by lower doses.
I.V.: 250-1000 mg every 6-8 hours; maximum: 1 g every 6 hours
Methyldopa is an aromatic-aminoacid decarboxylase inhibitor in animals and in man. Although the mechanism of action has yet to be conclusively demonstrated, the antihypertensive effect of methyldopa probably is due to its metabolism to alpha-methylnorepinephrine, which then lowers arterial pressure by stimulation of central inhibitory alpha-adrenergic receptors, false neurotransmission, and/or reduction of plasma renin activity. Methyldopa has been shown to cause a net reduction in the tissue concentration of serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.
Only methyldopa, the L-isomer of alpha-methyldopa, has the ability to inhibit dopa decarboxylase and to deplete animal tissues of norepinephrine. In man, the antihypertensive activity appears to be due solely to the L-isomer. About twice the dose of the racemate (DL-alpha-methyldopa) is required for equal antihypertensive effect.
Methyldopa has no direct effect on cardiac function and usually does not reduce glomerular filtration rate, renal blood flow, or filtration fraction. Cardiac output usually is maintained without cardiac acceleration. In some patients the heart rate is slowed.
Normal or elevated plasma renin activity may decrease in the course of methyldopa therapy.
Methyldopa reduces both supine and standing blood pressure. It usually produces highly effective lowering of the supine pressure with infrequent symptomatic postural hypotension. Exercise hypotension and diurnal blood pressure variations rarely occur.
Methyldopa is contraindicated in patients:
– with active hepatic disease, such as acute hepatitis and active cirrhosis.
– with liver disorders previously associated with methyldopa therapy (see package insert for WARNINGS).
– with hypersensitivity to any component of this product.
– on therapy with monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors.
It is important to recognize that a positive Coombs test, hemolytic anemia, and liver disorders may occur with methyldopa therapy.The rare occurrences of hemolytic anemia or liver disorders could lead to potentially fatal complications unless properly recognized and managed. Read this section carefully to understand these reactions.
TABLETS: 250 mg and 500 mg
I.V.: Methyldopate HCl Injection, USP 250 mg/5 mL (50 mg/mL).
minoxidil (Loniten ®)
Severe Hypertension: initial, 5 mg/day orally as single
dose or 2 divided doses. Maintenance (HTN): 10-40 mg/day orally daily in
1-2 divided doses (Maximum: 100 mg/day) . Acts directly on vascular
smooth muscle with selective vasodilatation of the arteriolar resistance
vessels and little or no effects on venous capacitance vessels and does
not effect the functioning of the carotid or aortic baroreceptors.
[Supplied: 2.5, 5, 10mg tablet]
nitroprusside (Nipride ®)
Arteriolar and venous dilator. Considered to be the most effective
parenteral drug for most hypertensive emergencies (except myocardial
ischemia or renal impairment). It dilates both arteries and veins, and
it reduces afterload and preload. Onset: within seconds. Duration: 2-3
minutes. Constant monitoring of the blood pressure is required.
Alternatives to nitroprusside include intravenous labetalol, nicardipine, and fenoldopam. Hypotension is uncommon with these drugs and cyanide toxicity is not an issue.
Dosing (Adults): Initial: 0.3-0.5 mcg/kg/minute. Increase in increments of 0.5 mcg/kg/minute -- titrating to the desired hemodynamic effect or the appearance of headache or nausea. Usual dose: 3 mcg/kg/minute (rarely need >4 mcg/kg/minute). Maximum: 10 mcg/kg/minute.
When treatment is prolonged (>24 to 48 hours) or when renal insufficiency is present, the risk of cyanide and thiocyanate toxicity is increased. Doses > 2 mcg/kg/min exceed the capacity of the body to detoxify cyanide. Maximum doses of 10 mcg/kg/min should never be given for more than 10 minutes. An infusion of sodium thiosulfate can be used in affected patients to provide a sulfur donor to detoxify cyanide into thiocyanate.
Supplied: Injection (Soln): 25 mg/ml - 2 ml (vial).
phentolamine (regitine ®)
Phentolamine mesylate produces an alpha-adrenergic block of relatively short duration. It also has direct, but less marked, positive inotropic and chronotropic effects on cardiac muscle and vasodilator effects on vascular smooth muscle.
Phentolamine has a half-life in the blood of 19 minutes following intravenous administration. Approximately 13% of a single intravenous dose appears in the urine as unchanged drug.
Phentolamine Mesylate for Injection is indicated for the prevention or control of hypertensive episodes that may occur in a patient with pheochromocytoma as a result of stress or manipulation during preoperative preparation and surgical excision.
Phentolamine Mesylate for Injection is indicated for the prevention or treatment of dermal necrosis and sloughing following intravenous administration or extravasation of norepinephrine.
Phentolamine Mesylate for Injection is also indicated for the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma by the phentolamine blocking test.
Myocardial infarction, history of myocardial infarction, coronary insufficiency, angina, or other evidence suggestive of coronary artery disease; hypersensitivity to phentolamine or related compounds.
Myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular spasm, and cerebrovascular occlusion have been reported to occur following the administration of phentolamine, usually in association with marked hypotensive episodes.
For screening tests in patients with hypertension, the generally available urinary assay of catecholamines or other biochemical assays have largely replaced the phentolamine and other pharmacological tests for reasons of accuracy and safety. None of the chemical or pharmacological tests is infallible in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. The phentolamine blocking test is not the procedure of choice and should be reserved for cases in which additional confirmatory evidence is necessary and the relative risks involved in conducting the test have been considered.
Extravasation - norepinephrine: 5-10 mg in 10 mL saline SC infiltrated within 12 hours into area of extravasation.
Hypertensive crisis: 5-20 mg IV.
Pheochromocytoma (diagnosis): 5 mg IV or IM.
Tissue necrosis prevention: 10 milligrams may be added to each liter of solution containing norepinephrine to prevent dermal necrosis and sloughing associated with intravenous administration of norepinephrine.
treprostinil (Remodulin ®)
Mechanism Of Action
The major pharmacologic actions of treprostinil are direct vasodilation of pulmonary and systemic arterial vascular beds, and inhibition of platelet aggregation
Indications: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in patients with NYHA Class II-IV symptoms.
Dosage: Pulmonary arterial hypertension: initial, 1.25 ng/kg/min continuous SC infusion; decrease to 0.625 ng/kg/min if initial dose cannot be tolerated. Pulmonary arterial hypertension: adjustments, increase dose in increments of no more than 1.25 ng/kg/min per week for the first 4 weeks and then no more than 2.5 ng/kg/min per week for remaining duration.
Administration: administer by continuous subcutaneous infusion to diminish symptoms associated with exercise. avoid abrupt cessation of infusion. Chronic dosage adjustments should establish a dose at which PAH symptoms are improved, while minimizing side effects. Minimal experience with doses greater than 40 ng/kg/min.

Sterling Ball Studs with Unique Tail
Etsy shop SDMarieJewelry
I really like a simple sterling earring that I can wear all the time. This earring is particularly great because you can wear it to bed and it pairs perfectly with so many other styles. It is also very unique. I made them completely with sterling silver. I melted one end into a ball and formed the rest into 3/4 a square. I gave them a matte finish. Please let me know if you would rather an oxidized dark gray color or a high shine. You can wear them two ways (see photos).

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 137266
CAN-2004-0989 multiple buffer overflows
Last modified: 2008-01-29 04:55:41 EST
The following information has been posted to bugtraq.
1]The vulnerable code occurs in the file nanoftp.c in function
xmlNanoFTPScanURL() around line 360:
while (cur[0] != ']')
buf[indx++] = *cur++;
buf is the stack buffer, and cur is the URL we control. What's funny
here, is that in other areas of the code the same mistake is avoided,
we have this:
while ((cur[0] != ']') && (indx < XML_NANO_MAX_URLBUF-1))
buf[indx++] = *cur++;
Which occurs in a similar function to the one called above.
2]The vulnerable code occurs in the file nanoftp.c in function
xmlNanoFTPScanProxy() around line 610:
while (cur[0] != ']')
buf[indx++] = *cur++;
buf is the stack buffer, and cur is the URL we control.
3]There are two different functions, with three different code
sections each containing two overflows. However I'd classify this as
two distinct bugs, not six, as two of the bugs are conditionally
compiled in only if two others are not. The first two occur in the
file nanoftp.c, lines 1110-1120, in the function xmlNanoFTPConnect().
The function getaddrinfo() is called to resolve a hostname, the
returned info is then copied into a heap buffer in a call to memcpy().
The copy length is taken from the DNS reply, rather than using the
size of the destination structure. The second set occur in
nanohttp.c, lines 1070-1080, in the function xmlNanoHTTPConnectHost().
Data from getaddrinfo() is again copied incorrectly, this time into a
local stack buffer. The third set of overflows occurs in nanohttp.c,
lines 1145-1155, in the function xmlNanoHTTPConnectHost(). This time,
gethostbyname() is called, and data is again memcpy()'d into a local
stack buffer using the DNS length instead of destination structure size.
We'll want to make sure this fix makes it into FC3.
Hum, I wanted to make a new release of libxml2/libxslt at the
end of the week, I have a lot of stuff fixed in CVS, I doubt
this can go in FC3...
libxml2-2.6.15-2 has been pushed as a FC2 security errata
libxml2-2.6.14-2 with just the fixes was released to rawhide for FC3
So I think this issue is closed now,

The behavior of children is 99% reaction and 1% action. This comes primarily from their lack of premeditation and clearly represented in my afterschool daily onslaught of victim riddled complaints. Three kids jump off of the bus smiling and, by the time they reach the backdoor, there's an argument.
I know they are the same kids that I, moments ago, viewed through the front door. Aren't they? Now they are screaming, crying and shoving as they enter. I cringe knowing whatever the heck has happened, is going to hit me in the face in the form a rumbling thunder of multiple complaints when I open the door… incidentally, there is no statute of limitations on victimhood. Some are carry-overs from the day before!
I know how small claims court judges must feel because it is now my job to give a ruling on an emotional web of nonsense. Seldom is everyone happy with my decision and, even less often, do I feel justice was served.
I don't know why I bother but I meet them with a finger to my lips and a whisper about sleeping babies.
"She got off first yesterday!" …"He tripped me!"…"She's laughing 'cuz I fell!"
Now, in theory, we warriors of justice must never, ever reward poor behavior AND never use food for a reward.
This thought is usually on my mind as a declare, "Snack time!" (I'm sorry…I am weak and it works so well! )
The snacks vary according to a sophisticated equation. I measure my strength… times the babies' needs for an uninterrupted nap… divided by the day of the week. (On Fridays, I'm a mere two hours from a glass of wine. Dealing is easier.)
Only the most desperate moments call for ice cream…usually we have P, B & J or a bowl of cereal. Thank goodness, they haven't figured this out!
Snack time now over, a hush falls gently over my kitchen…homework is pulled out…and then,
"Hey, that's my seat!" …"I LOST MY PENCIL!" …" Sue, yesterday you told me that you'd help me with my work first."
I just smile.
"Anyone for an apple?"

Slow West/
Note: a version of this review appears in Volume 7, Issue 4 of Kitchen Drawer. For more, visit kitchendrawer.net
Slow West has a short running time – a mere 83 minutes – but it makes good use of each and every one of those minutes. It's a western that plays like an adaptation of a great short story; a melancholy fable about love, loss, greed, sacrifice and the harsh realities of life in the old west. The film moves at a languid pace (thus living up to its title), but it's never dull. It's an unconventional western, but it's very much a western: a tale of two men traveling west, complete with horses, villains, cowboys, Indians and a great big shootout at a great big ranch.
Jay Cavendish (Kodi Smit-McPhee, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) is a 16-year-old Scottish lad who has traveled to America in search of his sweetheart Rose (Caren Pistorius, The Light Between Oceans). Along the way, he meets Silas Selleck (Michael Fassbender, X-Men: Days of Future Past), a veteran bounty hunter who offers to provide Jay safe passage to Rose's home in exchange for a reasonable fee. Jay reluctantly agrees, recognizing that he lacks the skills necessary to survive on his own. What he doesn't know is that Rose and her father (Rory McCann, Game of Thrones) have a $2000 bounty on their heads, and Silas intends to collect.
Fassbender offers a touching, nuanced take on a familiar sort of character: the grizzled, cynical old mercenary whose heart is slowly softened by the presence of a younger, more earnest character (recall Rooster Cogburn's gradual transformation in either version of True Grit). Eventually – and perhaps inevitably – Silas begins to experience a crisis of conscience, and wonders whether the reward is worth betraying his innocent travel companion. Rose is in danger regardless of Silas' decision, as a considerably more cold-blooded bounty hunter named Payne (Ben Mendelsohn, Bloodline) is also on Rose's trail.
This is such a visually rich movie, filled to the brim with compelling images that do more than offer mere aesthetic pleasure. First-time director John Maclean finds ways to enrich the story and characters with each new shot – sometimes in obvious ways (such as when a character simultaneously experiences the literal and metaphorical versions of "salt in the wound") and sometimes in subtle ones (such as the scene in which a character simultaneously becomes literally and metaphorically directionless). There are many compositions here that feel like living paintings, and Maclean has a knack for creating images that contrast natural beauty with man-made horror.
Slow West often recalls Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man in the way it casually wanders into episodic vignettes that enhance the movie's themes without actually advancing the plot. At one point, Jay shares a memorable encounter with a deeply philosophical German writer named Werner (clearly modeled after filmmaker Werner Herzog), who bemoans the fate of Native Americans and provides one of the film's key lines: "In a short time, this will be a long time ago." There's a brief but lovely musical interlude, a campfire story about an overambitious young outlaw and a haunting encounter at a general store located in the middle of nowhere.
The performances are lovely. Jay believes deep down that his reunion with Rose will be a happy one, but what he fails to realize is that he's living in the past while the present marches on. Based on the flashbacks we see, there is ample reason to believe that his affection for Rose far outweighs her affection for him. Smit-McPhee plays the character's heartsick yearning beautifully, and I love the way Fassbender's glares of dismissive irritation slowly transform into glances of knowing concern. Mendelsohn does a great deal with a small role, sporting a surly grin and a massive fur coat – a potent symbol of death.
Perhaps those who prefer their westerns a little more action-packed will find Slow West tedious (despite the tremendous shoot-out sequence that concludes the film), but if you're an admirer of Wes Anderson, Jim Jarmusch or The Coen Brothers, you'll find a great deal to enjoy in this film's gentle deadpan humor and precise, focused, artful storytelling. It's a treat to get any sort of western these days (America dropped its obsession with "horse operas" decades ago), but it's a real treat to get a western this rich and moving.
Slow West

It's a beautiful Sunday, thunderstorms from last night have moved on, and I'm going to go for a bike ride soon. I think I'll be spending some time catching up with pen pals I've neglected for the last two months. But first I wanted to show you a piece I finished last summer.
On a visit to the KU bookstore a couple of years ago, I came across a piece of mat board that was a gorgeous color of blue…never seen anything else like it. They only had one piece, and I've made several large and small pieces using it as background. The design on the T-shirt I talked about yesterday was one. Now I'm down to scraps. I think when I started this I anticipated cutting it up for jewelry pieces, but now that it's finished I can't bring myself to cut it up.
It's just sitting here, not matted, not framed, and nobody looks at it except for me and Miss Shiva. And she doesn't appreciate it. Sometimes you just can't get through to a cat, no matter how much culture you expose them to.
The metallic and fluorescent effects don't show up well in the photo. It's really quite vibrant.
Here it is under a black light:
Right now the price on it is $50. Do you think I should go ahead and sell it or cut it up and make something else from it?
Thank you to those of you who have shared this new blog! I appreciate you very much.

Ember Letter - September 2017Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Wed, 09/20/2017 - 05:43
To those who pray for me and those who offer me guidance and encouragement during this current phase of my journey, peace and love in our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is a tradition in parts of the Christian church for those seeking new ministries to write quarterly letters to those offering support and guidance, sometimes in formalized Ember Letters. It is within a broad interpretation of this tradition that I write this.
I will start with a comment from my previous letter, where I mentioned a friend who works for a local divinity school telling me that she did not believe I would be happy until I started seminary. I reached out to find a school that would fit my particular needs, especially around being able to work full-time and support my family while at the same time attending classes.
Church Divinity School of the Pacific accepted me into their online Certificate of Theological Studies program. The certificate requires eight elective courses and is, in a sense, a seminary postulancy. I am taking these courses as I seek a clearer sense of what God is calling me to, and whether I will continue on to an M.Div, and MTS, and MAR, or some other degree.
One of the things that I am excited about is CDSP's participation in the Graduate Theological Union and the ability to take courses at various seminaries in the Bay area. One of the courses that caught my attention was News and Religion, offered by the Religious Freedom Center which is part of the Newseum in Washington, DC. I have applied and been accepted into their program as well.
So, this fall, I am taking News and Religion and Introduction to the Old Testament. I feel greatly blessed to have these opportunities and am enjoying myself greatly as I struggle to balance work, life, studies, church activities, and civic responsibilities.
During a recent mid-day Eucharist service, our discussion veered into what I was reading for seminary. One of the books on my list which is having a big impact on my thinking is "Radical Welcome" by the Rev. Stephanie Spellers. How do we radically welcome people into the Jesus Movement including at the diocesan level as well as the parish level? How do we radically welcome those called to various ministries?
I continue to work with the region leadership team in the South Central Region and spend a lot of time thinking about how we welcome people to activities of the region. As part of this, we are recognizing that not everyone has a specific parish that they associate with. I feel strong ties to a couple parishes. Others feel ties to no particular parish. What language do we use to welcome people with varying relationships to different churches? Does it welcome all people? At our next gathering, and we have been using the word gathering instead of convocation, since gathering feels more welcoming, will include an "unconference" which is another way to welcome everyone so that all may be heard.
As I discussed the ideas from Radical Welcome during mid-day Eucharist, a friend made a comment that my seminary reading list was not for me, but it was for all of us. It was a very powerful comment that I have been thinking a lot about. It seems as if we spend too much time thinking about where a process might be leading. We spend too much time preparing people for what they might be doing in three or five years, and not enough time on what they are doing right now.
Seminary is a wonderful experience for me and hopefully will shape who I am becoming, but it needs to be a wonderful experience through me to those around me right now as well.
This relates back to the underlying themes I've written about in the past. I continue to seek, using the language from a college experience, to live each moment more fully and more lovingly than the previous. I continue to seek, using the language of Brother Lawrence, to do all things for the love of God as I practice the presence of God. I continue to ask of God, in the language of St. Teresa of Avila, "God, What do you want of me?"
I continue to be reassured by the words of St. Teresa of Avila, "God alone is enough" and the words of St. Julian of Norwich, "All will be well, and all will be well, and every kind of thing shall be well."
Over the past few months, I have continued to lead a service at a local nursing home and talk with some of the folks there. I continue to work with the dinner ministry, and I continue to talk with my friends on the street.
In addition, during the time of transition at Grace and St. Peter's, I have had a few opportunities to preach, both on Sunday mornings as well as the opportunity to deliver a homily at the memorial service for the daughter of a friend. I have also been assisting with selecting hymns for Sunday services and helping with services in any other ways that I can. These experiences, too, have been a blessing to me, and hopefully to those around me.
I thank each of you for your ongoing prayers and your words of guidance and encouragement. I continue to pray for each of you as well.
All glory to God,

Ethylene, a monomer, is derived from petrochemicals by using the process of steam cracking. It is mainly used as a raw material in the manufacture of a broad variety of chemical compounds such as polyethylene, ethylene oxide, ethylene benzene, ethylene dichloride, vinyl acetate, and alfa olefins. These compounds and their derivatives such as ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), ethylene glycol, glycol ethers, ethanolamine, and acrylonitrile are employed in end-user industries such as packaging, automotive, construction, agrochemicals, textiles, and soaps and detergents. In terms of revenue, the global ethylene market was valued at US$ 156.0 Bn in 2013 and is projected to reach US$ 234.2 Bn by 2020, expanding at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2014 to 2020.
Polyethylene, which is extensively used in the production of plastic, was the largest application segment of the global ethylene market, accounting for more than 50% share in 2013. Ethylene oxide is expected to be the fastest growing application segment of the ethylene market in the next few years. The rapid growth in the ethylene oxide application segment can be mainly attributed to the increasing consumption of its derivative, ethylene glycol, in the production of plastics for bottles. As regards to end-users, packaging emerged as the largest segment of the ethylene market with a share of more than 30% in 2013. The extensive utilization of different forms of polyethylene such as PVC, low density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), and high density polyethylene (HDPE) in the manufacture of packaging application products is expected to drive the global ethylene market in the forecast period..
The global ethylene market has been segmented based on regions into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Rest of the World (Middle East & Africa). Asia Pacific was the largest regional market for ethylene, constituting over 30% share in 2013. Increasing demand for ethylene in packaging, automotive, and construction industries is projected to drive the ethylene market in Asia Pacific in the next few years. Moreover, Asia Pacific is projected to be the fastest growing regional market in the global ethylene market during the forecast period. Rising demand for ethylene in emerging economies such as China, India, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, is likely to drive the ethylene market in Asia Pacific in the next few years. The ethylene market in North America and Europe is anticipated to grow at a moderate rate over the next six years, due to the slow but steady recovery of the economy in the U.S. and developed countries across Europe. The ethylene market in RoW is projected to expand considerably in the next few years, owing to rising demand for ethylene in the Middle East while the Latin American ethylene market is projected to record average growth during the forecast period.
Growing demand for ethylene in the rapidly expanding packaging, construction and automotive end-user segments is anticipated to drive the global ethylene market in the next few years.

By Mark John and Gérard Bon
PARIS (Reuters) - The daughter accuses the father of political suicide; the father publicly suspects she would like him dead anyway; and the grand-daughter watches in the wings, ready to pick up the pieces.
The feud within the Le Pen dynasty that has ruled France's National Front (FN) for four decades is teetering between high drama and a low farce that could emerge as the biggest threat yet to the far-right party's quest for mainstream power.
Party founder Jean-Marie Le Pen's defense this week of his view that Nazi gas chambers were a mere "detail" of war has prompted Marine Le Pen, FN leader since 2011, to demand his role in the party be discussed at a meeting FN executives Friday.
The blood line linking the two, plus the family talent for invective, make this no ordinary political row - to the glee of rivals who have seen the FN gain from the rise in support for populist parties in a Europe just emerging from recession.
"A father and daughter are ripping each other to shreds in public - the masters of Greek tragedy couldn't have staged it better," veteran leftist Daniel Cohn-Bendit, now a political pundit, said this week.
"Let's hope this runs and runs."
Marine Le Pen has sought to rid the FN of its anti-Semitic image and position it as an anti-immigrant, Eurosceptic force offering protectionist economic policies to shelter ordinary French from the vagaries of globalization.
At some point she was always going to have to find a way of silencing her maverick father, who at 86 uses his title of honorary president of the party to lob regular stink bombs into the French political debate.
The tougher is question is: How?
The trained lawyer, unanimously re-confirmed as FN leader at a congress last November, has a firm grip on the party as she prepares for a 2017 presidential election in which she is tipped to make the second-round run-off if not win outright.
A survey by pollster Harris Interactive found 99 percent of FN supporters believe she "embodies" party values against 28 percent for her father. Harris found the French most associate him with the words "racist", "old" and "trouble-maker".
Moreover a separate study by Odoxa found nearly nine out of 10 of FN supporters think it is time for him to quit politics.
Yet ejecting him against his will would be another matter: As a shrewd strategist Marine Le Pen will recall the brief but sharp decline in the party's fortunes after the messy 1998 split with its former number 2, Bruno Megret.
In a brief telephone call with Reuters on Tuesday, Jean-Marie Le Pen warned: "In times like these you should expect everything". In other words, he will not go quietly.
"It's possible that Marine Le Pen wants me dead and gone - but she shouldn't bank on me going along with that," he told French radio two days later, warning the party would "implode" if she kicked him out.
While such an implosion is unlikely given the declining personal support for Le Pen within the party he created in 1972, far-right watchers believe a move to eject him would hurt his daughter's image with grass-root members vital to her 2017 bid.
"Marine Le Pen would come across as unwilling to recognize her father's contribution to the party," analyst Jean-Claude Camus said. "The risk would be that it saps party morale."
Marine Le Pen, who last week described her father's behavior as "somewhere between scorched earth tactics and political suicide", told Reuters Thursday she had no plans to eject him. Moreover, his honorary title cannot be removed.
She will instead oppose his bid to lead the party's election list in December's local polls in the southern Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region and back his grand-daughter Marion Maréchal-Le Pen, the latest member of the dynasty, for the ticket.
Yet even that would carry risks: at 25, Maréchal-Le Pen remains a political novice despite her seat in the national parliament. Her career could be ruined if her grandfather chose to run a dissident list against her in a region he knows well.
Quoted by the Journal du Dimanche weekly on Sunday, Jean-Marie Le Pen hinted he might step aside for Marion in what would be a possible olive branch.
It is a dilemma that should come as no surprise to Marine Le Pen. The first line of her official biography is a remark her father once famously made to her and her two sisters: "You are Le Pen girls for life. It's not going to be easy, so you might as well get used to it fast."

What's with all the joking about domestic violence... Its not really that funny to make people you either beat your wife or girlfriend... They are lucky some random guy doesn't stand up for the woman and knock the guys out
ElectricEffect | 13
Let's not get carried away there love. As someone who's had to live through witnessing spousal abuse my entire childhood, even I can take a joke. His wife was just trying to be cute and playful.
MagicallyFat | 12
Yeah some couples have cute nicknames for each other, some like to prank each other. And in this case they like to joke around
Stealthed | 8
Clearly you don't have a sense of humor, I do this all the time in the shops with girls I'm with and we all have a tease at one another, doesn't mean we condone domestic violence, just means we know how to have a giggle, the problem is you know it's all shits and giggles until someone giggles then shits...
YakuzaxGeneralz | 9
If this Damn app logs me out one more time. It was a joke. I could understand if she started screaming for mercy, throwing candy at him, and clinging to the cops arm. That would be too far.
urdirtyolduncle | 15
If keyman was one of the cops, he definitely would've beat up OP.
jweezy89 | 4
Keyman is a douche and can't beat up a retarted infant. Humor is a personal thing people, you can't tell someone what is and isn't funny. Personally these kind of jokes are hilarious because I would never abuse someone, which in my mind makes it funny. So what do ya tell a bitch with two black eyes? Nothing, you already told her twice.
indianguyinuk | 12
why is op a woman?....i think this is a fake fml someone wrote after they saw the last one about the joke on women abuse

Journal Title
121st ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition
Publication Date
Thermodynamics is a difficult course for many undergraduate students due in part to the complex nature of the concepts learned. Pedagogical literature has suggested that students learn difficult concepts better when they are presented in different formats that address different learning styles (verbal, visual, etc). During the last two years a new student project called "thermodynamics in the arts" has challenged students in an introductory thermodynamics course to represent one thermodynamic concept in an art project. Each team of students selected a thermodynamic concept and a different art medium including poetry, sculpture, music, painting, drawing, photography, and creative essays. Concepts the students visualized included entropy, enthalpy, irreversibility, exergy, phase change, Carnot cycle, Brayton cycle, internal energy, work, radiation, convection, and conduction. Assessment of the artwork used a rubric that included artistic merit, but also the accuracy of the thermodynamic concept explored. A survey of the participating students was conducted to determine if the intersection of art and thermodynamics helped the students construct more concrete understanding of the concepts chosen. This paper explores the student perceptions of the project, presents examples of the student art projects, and provides an overview of the pedagogical merits of the project. Student survey results strongly support keeping the project for future classes. Student art examples demonstrate the success of the project and a nuanced depth of conceptual understanding of the material.
