Proxmox VE is based on Debian and comes with an installation CD-ROM which includes a complete Debian system ("stretch" for version 5.x) as well as all necessary Proxmox VE packages.
The installer just asks you a few questions, then partitions the local disk(s), installs all required packages, and configures the system including a basic network setup. You can get a fully functional system within a few minutes. This is the preferred and recommended installation method.
Alternatively, Proxmox VE can be installed on top of an existing Debian system. This option is only recommended for advanced users since detail knowledge about Proxmox VE is necessary.
Using the Proxmox VE Installation CD-ROM
You can download the ISO from http://www.proxmox.com. It includes the following:
Complete operating system (Debian Linux, 64-bit)
The Proxmox VE installer, which partitions the hard drive(s) with ext4, ext3, xfs or ZFS and installs the operating system.
Proxmox VE kernel (Linux) with LXC and KVM support
Complete toolset for administering virtual machines, containers and all necessary resources
Web based management interface for using the toolset
|By default, the complete server is used and all existing data is removed.
Please insert the installation CD-ROM, then boot from that drive. Immediately afterwards you can choose the following menu options:
- Install Proxmox VE
Start normal installation.
- Install Proxmox VE (Debug mode)
Start installation in debug mode. It opens a shell console at several installation steps, so that you can debug things if something goes wrong. Please press CTRL-D to exit those debug consoles and continue installation. This option is mostly for developers and not meant for general use.
- Rescue Boot
This option allows you to boot an existing installation. It searches all attached hard disks and, if it finds an existing installation, boots directly into that disk using the existing Linux kernel. This can be useful if there are problems with the boot block (grub), or the BIOS is unable to read the boot block from the disk.
- Test Memory
Runs memtest86+. This is useful to check if your memory is functional and error free.
You normally select Install Proxmox VE to start the installation. After that you get prompted to select the target hard disk(s). The Options button lets you select the target file system, which defaults to ext4. The installer uses LVM if you select ext3, ext4 or xfs as file system, and offers additional option to restrict LVM space (see below)
If you have more than one disk, you can also use ZFS as file system. ZFS supports several software RAID levels, so this is specially useful if you do not have a hardware RAID controller. The Options button lets you select the ZFS RAID level, and you can choose disks there.
The next page just ask for basic configuration options like your location, the time zone and keyboard layout. The location is used to select a download server near you to speedup updates. The installer is usually able to auto detect those setting, so you only need to change them in rare situations when auto detection fails, or when you want to use some special keyboard layout not commonly used in your country.
You then need to specify an email address and the superuser (root) password. The password must have at least 5 characters, but we highly recommend to use stronger passwords - here are some guidelines:
Use a minimum password length of 12 to 14 characters.
Include lowercase and uppercase alphabetic characters, numbers and symbols.
Avoid character repetition, keyboard patterns, dictionary words, letter or number sequences, usernames, relative or pet names, romantic links (current or past) and biographical information (e.g., ID numbers, ancestors' names or dates).
It is sometimes necessary to send notification to the system administrator, for example:
Information about available package updates.
Error messages from periodic CRON jobs.
All those notification mails will be sent to the specified email address.
The last step is the network configuration. Please note that you can use either IPv4 or IPv6 here, but not both. If you want to configure a dual stack node, you can easily do that after installation.
If you press Next now, installation starts to format disks, and copies packages to the target. Please wait until that is finished, then reboot the server.
Further configuration is done via the Proxmox web interface. Just point your browser to the IP address given during installation (https://youripaddress:8006).
|Default login is "root" (realm PAM) and the root password is defined during the installation process.
Advanced LVM Configuration Options
The installer creates a Volume Group (VG) called pve, and additional Logical Volumes (LVs) called root, data and swap. The size of those volumes can be controlled with:
- hdsize
Defines the total HD size to be used. This way you can save free space on the HD for further partitioning (i.e. for an additional PV and VG on the same hard disk that can be used for LVM storage).
- swapsize
Defines the size of the swap volume. The default is the size of the installed memory, minimum 4 GB and maximum 8 GB. The resulting value cannot be greater than hdsize/8.
If set to 0, no swap volume will be created.
- maxroot
Defines the maximum size of the root volume, which stores the operation system. The maximum limit of the root volume size is hdsize/4.
- maxvz
Defines the maximum size of the data volume. The actual size of the data volume is:
datasize = hdsize - rootsize - swapsize - minfree
Where datasize cannot be bigger than maxvz.
In case of LVM thin, the data pool will only be created if datasize is bigger than 4GB. If set to 0, no data volume will be created and the storage configuration will be adapted accordingly.
- minfree
Defines the amount of free space left in LVM volume group pve. With more than 128GB storage available the default is 16GB, else hdsize/8 will be used.
LVM requires free space in the VG for snapshot creation (not required for lvmthin snapshots).
ZFS Performance Tips
ZFS uses a lot of memory, so it is best to add additional RAM if you want to use ZFS. A good calculation is 4GB plus 1GB RAM for each TB RAW disk space.
ZFS also provides the feature to use a fast SSD drive as write cache. The write cache is called the ZFS Intent Log (ZIL). You can add that after installation using the following command:
zpool add <pool-name> log </dev/path_to_fast_ssd>

Who should install your gas logs?
Gas logs should be installed by a qualified professional. We strongly recommend you hire a HVAC installer or licensed plumber. These professionals have proven knowledge of gas fireplaces, log sets, and stoves as well as their venting systems. In addition, these specialists are fully qualified and have all of the required materials and tools on hand to make the connection safely and ensure it complies with code. Installation prices vary, usually running from $200 to $350 for a basic job, but the price tag is well worth it for the peace of mind. Support your local contractor!
What should be done prior to installation?
Clean the chimney thoroughly prior to installing your new log set, even if you have not been using your fireplace. It is truly amazing what can come out of a chimney that has not been used. It is very important that this step has not been skipped as any build-up of creosote can cause a chimney fire due to the heat that is generated with the log set. The firebox should be as clean as possible prior to installation as well. This will make it easier and much cleaner for your installer.
Clear the area around the fireplace so that your installer has plenty of room to work. They will need to lay out the logs as they are unpacked. A clutter-free area will speed up the installation so you can enjoy your fireplace sooner rather than later.
If you are installing propane, make sure that your propane tank has sufficient fuel so that the installer is able to properly check the valves and piping for potential leaks.
If the gas line is being installed at the same time as the logs, clear the areas where the line will be run prior to the installer's arrival. Make sure that they will have access to all areas of the yard, attic or crawlspace as needed.
Finally, put away the ax, firestarters, gloves, and ash pan since you won't be needing them again and enjoy your new gas logs!

The National Hurricane Center will issue maps showing potential flooding from storm surges during tropical storms and hurricanes on a trial basis during the 2014 Atlantic hurricane season that begins June 1, to warn residents of dangers other than wind associated with the storms, center Director Rick Knabb said Tuesday (Jan. 7).
Knabb made the announcement during a panel discussion on efforts by the center and the National Weather Service to move away from focusing on hurricane or tornado categories in public messages, and instead emphasizing information that helps the public understand specific risks posed by the weather systems.
The panel was part of the four-day International Disaster Conference & Expo being held at the Ernest N. Morial New Orleans Convention Center. Participants include international, federal, state and local emergency management officials.
The color-coded storm surge maps will be issued as part of six-hour forecast messages for tropical storms and hurricanes, beginning with a tropical storm or hurricane watch. That's generally 48 hours before a storm's landfall.
The colors will represent the expected height of water above ground level, with blue representing up to 3 feet, yellow indicating greater than 3 feet, orange meaning greater than 6 feet and red representing greater than 9 feet. The maps will explain that the water depth values have a 1 in 10, or 10 percent, chance of being exceeded.
The maps are likely to change as a storm's expected path changes in each six-hour forecast period before landfall.
Last year, hurricane center officials said that in the New Orleans area, land heights, including federal and local levees, will be updated each year in the computer models used to estimate water heights.
Knabb presented an example of a map, showing potential flooding during a mock hurricane in Tampa Bay, Fla. He said after his talk that an example using a location on the northern Gulf Coast may be released in a few weeks as part of a program to train local emergency managers and forecasters how to use the new maps.
Knabb said that beginning in 2015, the hurricane center still plans to issue a new package of watch and warning messages that will specifically deal with storm surges. The new watches and warnings will be issued in addition to the existing tropical storm and hurricane watch and warning messages that focus on winds.
Knabb said surge could affect different locations from the storm's worst winds, and could arrive before the winds.
National Weather Service Director Louis Ucellini said this year's test maps and next year's surge forecasts are part of the service's "Building a Weather-Ready Nation" campaign, aimed at both improving forecasts and providing the public with information useful in planning for weather hazards.
The need for such changes has been driven by an increase in weather events that cause billions of dollars in damage, and by the potential for such events to become more common as climate change occurs.
Ucellini said local weather service offices also are conducting "Are you in a zone?" education programs, aimed at getting residents and businesses in coastal areas to plan for mandatory evacuations required by storm surges.
The weather service also is relying on behavioral analysis reports of responses to past evacuations to better focus their education programs and warnings, he said.
The emergency management conference in New Orleans also is focusing on a variety of other threats, including terrorism and cyber security.
Other threats: Terrorism
FEMA Deputy Administrator Richard Serino, who formerly headed Boston's emergency medical services, told the emergency managers that the city's use of past Boston Marathons and other major crowd events in the city as exercises to train the city's fire, police and emergency health workers in responding to mass casualty events resulted in the rapid response during the April 15, 2013, terrorist attack, when a bomb set off at the race's finish line killed three people and injured more than 260 runners and spectators.
He said the decision to use marathons as training exercises resulted from the recognition that emergency managers would not be able to simulate the crowds or the use of electronics, news media demands, radio interference and overuse of cell phones that occurs during such events.
"Boston Strong was no accident," Serino said. "It was no accident that the patients were triaged and transported, no accident that no one hospital was overwhelmed, no accident that civilians were allowed to help with the response, no accident that police officers, firefighters, EMT and paramedics worked together. Those people had trained together."
Other threats: Cyber security
Former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, who now runs his own security consulting business, warned the managers that protection from attacks on Internet and computer systems, or cyber security, is one of the biggest threats faced by this nation and the rest of the world.
"Many of my friends and colleagues from the intelligence and security communities publicly and privately express concerns about the potential for a cyber Pearl Harbor. You can include me among them," said Ridge, who is co-chairing the conference, along with Louisiana Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness Secretary Kevin Davis.
"Here in the United States, our government, from the White House, Department of Defense and Congress itself, has been unable to prevent many attacks on its systems," Ridge said. "Meanwhile, U.S. companies that employ millions of Americans that operate essential infrastructure are not only attacked by criminal organizations and lone actors, but quite honestly, by nation states.
"And, as we witnessed over the holidays, data and proprietary information is being stolen from the private sector, impacting our economy and disrupting and at least inconveniencing individuals and families," he said, referring to the theft from Target of identity information of thousands of credit card users.
Ridge said many of the plans that emergency managers have put in place for traditional disasters, such as hurricanes, can be useful in the event of a major cyber security attack. But he said the nation must also agree to allow the sharing of information aimed at reducing the threat of cyber attacks with other countries and between businesses and governments.
"At the end of the day, if we are not prepared to enable governments and their partners in critical industries to share information more effectively and coordinate together to prevent major cyber attacks, we also be unprepared to respond together and to be resilient if and when a significant attack occurs," he said.
"In this sense, we are just as vulnerable to experience a cyber-Katrina – that is, experiencing a disaster on top of a disaster – as we are to realize a cyber Pearl Harbor."

In response to concerns expressed by physicians throughout the country, legislation recently was introduced in the House of Representatives that would hold Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) more accountable for their reimbursement and coverage decisions. H.R. 5721, known as the Local Coverage Determination Clarification Act of 2016, was introduced by Reps. Lynn Jenkins, R-Kan., and Ron Kind, D-Wis. It is anticipated that H.R. 5721 will generate broad bipartisan support.
The preamble of the bill states that its purpose is "to improve the process whereby Medicare Administrative Contractors issue local coverage determinations under the Medicare program … ." Specifically, the bill would require that whenever a MAC proposes to issue a local coverage determination (LCD), it must take the following steps:
1. Publish a proposed version of the LCD on its website and include a written rationale for the proposal, as well as the description of all evidence relied upon in developing the LCD.
2. No more than 60 days after publication of the draft LCD, the MAC must convene at least one open public meeting to review the draft, as well as receive comments from the public. The MAC also must secure advice of an expert panel.
3. Within 14 days of the public meeting, the MAC must post a record of the meeting minutes on its website.
4. The MAC must provide a period for submission of written public comments with respect to any proposed LCD.
The legislation has several other provisions, including a reconsideration process for specified LCDs, in which an interested party may request that the MAC reconsider any LCD determination or portion of such of new LCD. Significantly, the legislation also provides for a process in which the MACs reconsideration determination is subject to appeal to the secretary of HHS. In addition, the legislation specifically prohibits MACs from adopting an LCD from another jurisdiction without first conducting its own independent evaluation of the evidence.
The LCD process has generated significant frustration for physicians and providers across the Medicare program. Lack of transparency, inconsistent policy from contractor to contractor, and unreasonably restrictive coverage and reimbursement decisions have been a source of concern for many years. Although this proposed legislation may not solve all of these problems, it is a start. Those in favor of such reform should contact their respective congressional representative and urge support of the legislation.

AC-DC Power Supply Considerations for Home Appliances
Home appliances are generally grouped into two categories:
1. Major electrical appliances, often referred to as white goods, which include refrigerators, microwave ovens, dishwashers, dryers, washing machines, etc.
2. Small appliances, which include electric blenders, coffee makers, food processors, slow cookers, etc.
Most modern-day home appliances include electronic circuits such as micro-controllers, LCD displays, et al, which need an AC/DC power supply to provide clean and regulated DC power. The challenges when designing a power supply are to provide safe and reliable power, while also delivering high performance with low power consumption and low bill-of-material ( BOM ) cost.
Generally for low-power applications, the power switch is often integrated or co-packaged with the PWM IC. An example universal offline isolated power supply, which uses the iWatt iW1810 digital PWM IC, is shown in Figure1. It operates from universal AC input and delivers 12V/0.3A output power with better than +/-3 percent output voltage regulation over the entire operating line (85 VAC to 265 VAC), load (0 mA to 300 mA) and temperature (-20degC to +85degC) range.
Key requirements for power supplies must be maintained as described below.
Safety and Reliability
In a flyback power supply, the collector or drain of the power switch can fly up to very high voltages well above the input voltage. Figure1 shows a snubber circuit (R1, R4, C8 and D2) that clamps the collector of the example iW1810 IC's internal bipolar junction transistor (BJT) power switch to a safe level.
As seen in Figure 2, the collector voltage is as high as 532 V when input voltage is 265 VAC. Over the course of high-volume production, the variation of leakage inductance (higher is worse) will adversely affect the collector voltage. A good rule of thumb suggests that collector voltage (drain voltage for a MOSFET) must be de-rated to 80 percent of its collector-to-emitter (drain to Source for a MOSFET) breakdown voltage rating to ensure that the power supply does not experience unacceptable failure rates during volume production.
Home appliances using electric motors may have inductive kick-back-induced high voltage at the input of the power supply. In such cases, designers must be especially careful in selecting the appropriate de-rating for the power switch under worst case input voltage. In the Figure 1 circuit, the power supply IC includes a BJT with breakdown voltage rating of 800 V to provide sufficient margin in most applications. Many integrated AC/DC PWM ICs include a 700 V-rated power switch as designers must take special care and perform worst case analysis when designing power supplies for electric motor-based appliances. In the Figure 1 circuit, the IC shuts down and auto-restarts if there is a short circuit at the output. This results in very low power consumption on the order of hundreds of milliwatts to protect the system. However, in case of a short circuit at the primary side of the transformer, the wire wound fusible resistor F1 becomes an open circuit to protect the system from safety hazards. Moreover; in normal operation, resistor F1 reduces inrush current to preserve the long life time of the components on the printed circuit board (PCB).
Meet Power Supply Specifications With Sufficient Margin
Given the nature of high-volume manufacturing associated with home appliances and their high repair costs, the power supply design must not only be robust, it should also be insensitive to manufacturing processes and component tolerances. Worst case design techniques should ensure that each power supply parameter tolerance is tight and well within the specification limits; good design practice mandates six sigma limits. Key specifications are usually tight output voltage regulation, fast load transient response, and low output voltage undershoot over the entire operating line, load and temperature range. For high-power applications, efficiency may also be critical because low efficiency results in high thermal losses. In addition, if appliances must meet EMI standards such as CISPR22B or EN55022B, the power supply must have low conducted and radiated EMI with sufficient margin to ensure that a randomly sampled appliance does not fail EMI.
Digital control techniques can be used to achieve high performance and low costs for the end user. For example, the iW1810 employs iWatt's patented adaptive digital PWM control technology in which a digital feedback and control loop adjusts the IC's internal parameters on a cycle-by-cycle basis to optimize performance over varying line and load conditions. The circuit of Figure1 can achieve better than +/-3 percent output voltage regulation over the entire operating range. Moreover the output voltage undershoot is 10.9 V minimum and recovers in under 2 ms when the load transitions from no-load (0 mA) to full load (300 mA). Peak efficiency is over 80 percent. Quasi-resonant (or valley mode) switching techniques can also be used to reduce EMI. As shown in Figure 3, the circuit achieves over 10dB conducted EMI margin when compared with the CISPR22B or EN55022B limits.
Low BOM Cost
In a cost-sensitive consumer market, low BOM cost is mandatory. A simple circuit with fewer components drives down the cost. Primary side regulation can be used to eliminate an opto-coupler, a shunt reference and associated resistors and capacitors from an isolated offline power supply. Moreover; if the output power requirement is under 3 W, then the snubber circuits on the primary side (R1, R4, C8 and D2) and secondary side (C1 and R6) may be eliminated.
The total manufacturing cost for an electronic PCB not only includes the cost of the components and the PCB, it also includes the insertion cost associated with each component. The fewer the components, the lower the insertion cost and higher the throughput; i.e. number of PCBs manufactured per hour. A 12 V/0.3 A offline power supply based on the circuit of Figure 1 can be manufactured for well under $1.00 in high volumes.

2008 Mazda CX-9: The Back-Up Display in the Rearview Mirror
March 05, 2008
We've had the 2008 Mazda CX-9 in our fleet since last year and last night was my first time in it. It was also the first time that I've seen a car with a back-up camera display in the rearview mirror. Neat! Well, that was my first reaction until I realized how distracting it was.
The picture is so tiny that it's almost useless to me. I was squinting my eyes trying to make out what the little picture was telling me but then decided to just actually look at the rearview mirror instead and then look out the back window as I was backing up. You know, the "old-fashion" way.

MONTREAL — Scores of people were arrested Friday as Montreal students continued their 10-week-long protest against a planned $325-a-year tuition fee hike.
Students demonstrated outside a job fair for Quebec's Plan Nord — a major initiative to develop the province's north — and at least one student was reported injured after clashes with riot police, who used tear gas to disperse the crowd.
TV images showed protesters throwing water and projectiles at police. Riot squad officers responded by charging the assembled crowd with batons, hitting people in the legs and other areas.
"This Plan Nord project is really a plan of piracy, of misappropriation of public funds," says a statement by CLASSE, the largest anti-hike student group, on its website.
The Plan Nord Salon, where Premier Jean Charest was to speak, gathers companies and community organizations from Quebec's north involved in the $80-billion, 25-year project to develop the region's natural resources.
Elsewhere, police said students blocked traffic at certain Montreal intersections.
Plan Nord is the Liberal government's development plan for its northern territory that is aiming to lead to $80-billion in investments and 20,000 in new or consolidated jobs annually over 25 years. The effort is being likened to Quebec's massive development of the James Bay and La Manicouagan hydroelectric projects in the 1960s and 1970s.
Mr. Charest inexplicably joked about the protest, alluding to the events outside only briefly in his speech.
"The [Plan Nord] represents a chance for job seekers," he said to howls of laughter from the audience. "And so to those who knocked on our door this morning, we could offer them a job, in the North as much as possible."
"I'm angry about his jokes, it's insulting and totally inappropriate," said Martine Desjardins, a leader of one of the student groups, told the Montreal Gazette.
Students are protesting the government's plan to raise tuition fees by $325 a year over five years. Even with the increases, the cost of education in Quebec will be among the lowest in the country.
The conflict, which has seen almost daily protests of various sizes over the past several weeks, has cost $1.5-million so far in overtime pay for the Sûreté du Québec, the province's police force.

Food Allergy and Intolerance
Food allergy and food intolerance are not the same thing. With a food allergy, there is an abnormal reaction of the body's immune system to a particular food. This can range from a mild reaction to one that is severe and life-threatening (anaphylaxis).
Food intolerance happens because the body has difficulty digesting certain substances in food, or because certain substances have a direct effect on the body in some way. Food intolerance can cause symptoms such as diarrhoea, bloating and stomach cramps. However, with food intolerance there is no allergic reaction and the immune system is generally not involved.
What is an allergy?
An allergy is a response by the body's immune system to something (called an allergen) that is not necessarily harmful in itself. Certain people are sensitive to this allergen and have a reaction when exposed to it. Some allergic reactions are mild and harmless, but others are severe and potentially life-threatening (anaphylaxis). (See separate leaflets called Allergy - General Overview and Anaphylaxis for more information.)
What is a food allergy?
A food allergy is an abnormal reaction of the body's immune system to a particular food. This tends to cause unpleasant and unwanted effects (symptoms).
There are different types of food allergy, depending on which part of the immune system responds. The acute, sudden-onset reactions tend to be caused by antibodies called immunoglobulin E (IgE). These are called IgE-mediated reactions. As a result of these reactions, various chemicals are made, including histamine. Histamine causes many of the allergy symptoms and this is why antihistamines can be used to treat some allergic reactions.
There are also non-IgE-mediated reactions which tend to be more delayed and less severe. In these reactions the symptoms are not caused by IgE. Instead a type of white blood cell, called a T cell, causes the problem. Common reactions include skin problems such as rashes and eczema, and tummy (abdominal) symptoms and bowel disturbance.
It is also possible to have mixed reactions.
What is a food intolerance?
A food intolerance is not the same as a food allergy. Many people incorrectly use the words interchangeably. A food allergy is when the body's immune system reacts abnormally to specific foods. No allergic reaction takes place with a food intolerance.
People with a food intolerance may have digestive symptoms such as diarrhoea, bloating and stomach cramps. These are quite common symptoms anyway. For example, other conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), can also cause these symptoms.
In food intolerance, the symptoms can be caused by various problems. Although the immune system is not involved, it does not mean that they are unimportant or mild in nature. Food intolerance can cause considerable problems and significant symptoms.
Some examples are:
- Lactose intolerance. This causes diarrhoea and tummy (abdominal) symptoms (bloating and pain) after milk is drunk or dairy products are eaten. It happens because of a deficiency of lactase, an enzyme in the body that digests the sugar in milk (lactose). Unless lactose is broken down, the body cannot absorb it. You can be born without any lactase, or only a low level, or you can develop lactase deficiency - often after an episode of infection of the gut (gastroenteritis). See separate leaflet called Lactose Intolerance for more details.
- Direct effects of foods and additives. Certain foods and chemicals in foods may directly affect the body and cause symptoms. For example, some people find that the food additive monosodium glutamate (MSG) causes flushing, headache, abdominal pains and bloating. However, the exact way in which foods and additives may cause symptoms is often not clear.
There is controversy about whether certain additives (E numbers) are responsible for various symptoms, especially in children. Also, there is uncertainty as to whether certain foods can make symptoms worse in some people who have conditions such as IBS, migraine and eczema.
- Food avoidance. Some people, especially children, may develop physical symptoms such as feeling sick and diarrhoea if they eat, or are offered, foods they have come to dislike. Strictly speaking this is not a true food intolerance. It may, however, be difficult to distinguish between avoidance and intolerance in children.
Also, many people incorrectly assume symptoms they have are due to food intolerances when in fact their symptoms are not due to food. Consequently, people commonly cut things out of their diet that they believe to be the cause of their problems. In itself this can lead to further problems.
In summary, food intolerance often ends up being a rather vague term which is sometimes difficult to clarify.
Differences between food allergies and food intolerance
The symptoms of food intolerance occur usually a few hours after eating the food. Allergic reactions happen much more quickly.
With an allergy, even a tiny amount of the food can cause an allergic reaction to take place. Some people with a severe allergy to nuts might experience an extreme form of allergic reaction (anaphylaxis):
- After eating something made in a factory that also handles nuts; or
- After kissing someone who has recently eaten nuts.
With food intolerances you need a lot more of the food to cause the symptoms.
Food intolerances are never life-threatening. Some allergies are, as they can cause anaphylaxis.
Mouth and throat (oral) allergy
Some people get a type of allergic reaction to certain foods that only causes symptoms in the mouth and throat. It tends to cause itching, tingling, and swelling of the mouth, lips and throat. Fresh fruit, vegetables and nuts commonly cause this. It can be confused with an extreme form of allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).
It has the potential to be serious, as swelling in the mouth and throat can affect the ability to breathe; however, this is rare. The symptoms start within minutes of eating and tend to settle completely within an hour.
Note: an ambulance should be called immediately if you feel faint, have difficulty breathing or feel like your throat is closing up.
How common are reactions to food?
In the western world, 5 children in 100 and 3-4 adults in 100 are thought to have a food allergy. In the UK, 2 babies in 100 develop an allergy to protein in cow's milk. The number of people with food allergies seems to be rising. However, the severity of these allergies varies. Many people mistakenly believe they have food allergies. Only about 1 in 5 people who report a food reaction actually have a true food allergy.
Food allergy
Symptoms of an allergic reaction can include:
- Atopic eczema (classical eczema) that is seen in allergy-prone (atopic) families - often those with hay fever and asthma too.
- Being sick (vomiting) that is generally effortless (gastro-oesophageal reflux).
- Loose and/or frequent stools (faeces).
- Constipation.
- Blood or mucus in the stools.
- Redness around the back passage (anus).
- Tiredness.
- Pallor.
- Poor growth. This is often seen in children with a non-IgE food allergy. Young children, particularly those with digestive symptoms, should be regularly weighed. Weight should be plotted on a growth chart. This allows medical professionals such as GPs and health visitors to see if growth is slow.
These are all possible symptoms of a food allergy. They range from the mild reactions and chronic symptoms to the most severe and life-threatening ones.
Food intolerance
Symptoms of a food intolerance vary widely and can include:
- Bloating and tummy (abdominal) pain.
- Diarrhoea or loose stools (faeces).
- Skin rashes and itching.
Some of these symptoms are the same as those which can be caused by a non-IgE food allergy. So this shows how complicated it can be to determine whether you have an allergy or an intolerance.
Which foods cause most allergies?
Foods that most commonly cause allergy are milk, eggs, nuts (especially peanuts), sesame, shellfish and other seafood, wheat, soya and some fruits such as citrus and kiwi.
If you think you have, or your child has, a food allergy, you should seek medical advice. Usually your GP would be the first point of call.
You may be referred to a consultant in hospital (often an immunologist or an allergist). This would be for further tests to confirm the diagnosis. This would often happen if a severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis has occurred, or if a child is not growing well and has gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhoea.
If you think you or your child has a food intolerance, it depends on the severity of symptoms as to how promptly you seek medical advice. In milder, less clear-cut situations, it is often worth spending some time yourself trying to work out which foodstuff is the culprit.
Food diary
Keeping a diary of what is eaten is a simple activity that can be helpful in some cases. You need to write down everything that is eaten and any reaction that you have. A food diary does not provide a diagnosis, but it does suggest which food(s) could be the culprit(s), allowing further tests.
Specific tests
If it is thought that you have an IgE-mediated allergy, there are two main types of test that can be done:
Skin prick test
This is usually done in a specialist hospital allergy clinic. Because an anaphylactic reaction is possible, there needs to be access to resuscitation equipment including adrenaline (epinephrine). A small drop of liquid containing the food substance is placed on the skin of the forearm and a needle is used to prick the skin, through the droplet. This allows the food to enter the skin. After a period of time, the droplet is wiped off and the skin is read. This means looking to see if there has been a reaction, and how big this is. Usually there would be an itchy red area with a surrounding white raised swelling called a wheal. See separate leaflet called Skin Prick Allergy Test for more details.
Blood tests
Blood tests can detect if your blood contains specific IgE antibodies. So, if you had allergic reactions to peanuts, your blood might contain antibodies to peanuts. This test is called a radioallergosorbent test (RAST). The main difficulty with these blood tests is that they are only available for a small number of foods. They are expensive and the accuracy of different tests can vary. Results need to be interpreted carefully alongside the history of allergic reaction. The advantage of blood tests is that they are safe in people who have anaphylaxis or severe skin diseases that would make skin prick testing difficult.
Elimination and challenge
If a non-IgE food allergy is suspected, elimination and challenge can be used to try to confirm the diagnosis of allergy. This is only really appropriate when it seems clear which foodstuff is causing the problem. The food should be excluded from the diet completely for 2-6 weeks, to see if symptoms improve. After this time, the food should be reintroduced, to see if symptoms return. Dietary advice from a dietician or doctor may be required during the elimination period. This is to make sure the diet is not deficient in any essential nutrients and to provide an alternative to the food excluded.
Alternative allergy tests
You may see many commercial companies offering allergy testing, particularly on the internet. Be very wary of these.
The following tests have no medical evidence behind them - that is, they cannot be relied upon to give any accurate results. At best, these tests are a waste of money and are of no help in diagnosis. At worst they are dangerous - either by failing to pick up a significant allergy or by over-diagnosing multiple allergies. The following tests are not recommended:
- IgG blood tests. (It is IgE that is measured in reliable allergy tests performed in the NHS.)
- Kinesiology.
- Hair analysis.
- White blood cell tests - eg, a leukocytotoxic test.
- Pulse test.
- Electrodermal (Vega) test.
These tests tend to suggest long lists of foods that could be avoided unnecessarily. This can lead to the exclusion of multiple foods from the diet. Whilst this might be unhealthy for an adult, it can be positively harmful in a child or an adult with complex medical health needs. An extremely restricted diet can lead to severe nutritional deficiencies and eventually to malnutrition.
Children should not follow a restricted diet, unless supervised by a dietician. They require a well-balanced diet, containing all the major food groups, vitamins and trace elements to ensure adequate growth and development.
What are the treatments for food allergy?
Avoid the food that causes allergy but this can be difficult. A dietician can help make sure you still have a healthy balanced diet. Antihistamines medicines can be helpful. You should have an adrenaline injection with you at all times if you have severe allergy.
Allergen avoidance
The only real treatment for food allergy and intolerance is to avoid that food. This is very important if an extreme form of allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) has occurred.
It can be very difficult to avoid certain foods completely, particularly when eating out and buying food. Often foods are contaminated with traces of another food. An example would be that a factory may produce several types of breakfast cereal, including ones containing nuts. A brand that doesn't specifically contain nuts as an ingredient may contain tiny traces of nut. This is because it has picked them up from machines in the factory, perhaps used after a nutty cereal has been made. For this reason, it is crucial to check the labels on packaging. There are stringent rules for manufacturers regarding labelling.
Referral to a dietician
Dieticians are qualified health professionals. They can assess, diagnose and treat diet and nutrition problems. Nutritionists and therapists are voluntarily registered and anyone can use the title. For therapists in particular, this can mean unproven 'treatments' based on personal opinion and belief.
If you have a food allergy or intolerance, after seeking medical advice, a dietician can be a useful person to see for further help and advice. You can be referred to an NHS dietician. The advice can be particularly useful for children with food allergies, as it is vital they maintain a balanced diet for growth and development.
Antihistamines can be helpful where food allergies cause symptoms such as itchy rashes (urticaria).
Adrenaline (epinephrine) may be prescribed in an injectable form (such as Emerade®, EpiPen® or Jext®) if a person has a history of anaphylaxis. It is important that this should be carried on your person at all times, and that you are trained in its use or how to give it to your child.
Other advice
Support and education are important for people with food allergies or for parents of children with food allergies. This may be provided by your GP, practice nurse or hospital specialist. Written information and advice on how to manage allergic reactions are extremely important. There are various support groups available for people with allergies and some people like to access help themselves this way.
It is a good idea to have a medical emergency identification bracelet or equivalent if you have a history of anaphylaxis.
Outlook (prognosis)
As the immune system matures and a child gets older, many grow out of allergies to eggs, wheat, milk and soya. Adults with food allergy may also grow out of their food allergy if an elimination diet is followed carefully. About a third of adults and children lose their reactions after 1-2 years of elimination diets.
Allergic reactions to peanuts, seafood, fish and tree nuts rarely get better.
Notes related to food allergies and intolerances
A note about coeliac disease
Coeliac disease is not a food allergy, nor is it a food intolerance. It is an autoimmune disease which means that the immune system (which normally protects the body from infections) mistakenly attacks itself. Other autoimmune diseases include type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and some thyroid disorders. Coeliac disease is caused by a sensitivity to gluten. Gluten is a component of wheat, so it is found in foods such as bread and pasta. See separate leaflet called Coeliac Disease for more details.
Egg allergy and immunisations
Egg allergy is not a reason to avoid the flu vaccination, nor is it a reason for a child to miss his or her immunisations (including measles, mumps and rubella (MMR)). If there is a confirmed anaphylactic reaction to egg-containing food, it may be safer for a child to be vaccinated in hospital. However, most anaphylactic reactions to MMR are related to other ingredients in the vaccine, and not the egg. Anaphylaxis to gelatin or neomycin (an antibiotic) is a contra-indication to MMR. Children with milder reactions should definitely receive their vaccinations in the normal way.
Peanut allergy, pregnancy, breast-feeding and weaning
The latest research shows that there is no clear evidence to say that eating, or not eating, peanuts during pregnancy affects the chances of your baby developing a peanut allergy. Pregnant women need not avoid eating peanuts.
If you are breast-feeding and enjoy eating peanuts or other nuts there is no reason to avoid them, unless you are allergic to them. They can be eaten as part of a healthy balanced diet.
Nuts are a choking hazard for children so great care must be taken. World Health Organization (WHO) advice is that babies should be fed only breast milk for their first six months. However, if weaning on to solid food occurs before 6 months of age, peanuts and nut-containing foods should be avoided in case a food allergy is triggered. The same advice is also true for seeds, cow's milk, eggs, wheat, fish and shellfish. In general terms, when weaning, it is best to introduce one new food at a time. That way, if there is a problem, such as an allergy, it is easier to tell which food(s) could be the culprit(s).

MADRID (MarketWatch) — Spanish government bonds tumbled Friday, sending yields higher, rattled by reports that one of Spain's autonomous regions has asked for assistance from the government because it can't get debt financing from the markets.
The yield on Spain's 10-year government bond (10YR_ESP) jumped to 6.32%, up 0.14 percentage point from Thursday, after Catalonian President Artur Mas warned about Catalonia's finances. The comments temporarily sent the euro below $1.25 against the dollar and unsettled Wall Street.
"Although Catalonia's financing plight has been known about for some time, nevertheless it has unsettled the euro at a time when there is already acute sensitivity to the Spanish situation," said Michael Derks, chief strategist at FxPro, in emailed comments.
Speaking to a group of reporters, Mas said he is running out of options to pay Catalonia's bills, according to media reports. The central government this year allowed its cash-strapped regions to get a special credit facility via its Insitutio de Credito Oficial (ICO) to help pay its suppliers, but that facility will reportedly run out next month.
"We don't care how they do it, but we need to make payments at the end of the month. Your economy can't recover if you can't pay your bills," Mas reportedly said.
But in the wake of market furor, the reports were followed by a statement from Mas's office saying some of the remarks were taken out of context. "The government of Catalonia is meeting its strict financial program, and will honor its commitments, as expected," the statement said.
The statement said that Mas discussed a call for the government to issue so-called Hispanobonos to help the regions. The interest rate on the instruments would be determined by the average rates paid by the regions.
The cost of borrowing for Spain has remained above 6% since April, with the government managing to auction debt, but at increasingly higher prices. A report from Reuters said the region has placed patriot bonds at 4.5% to 5%.
Mas, however, the region's citizens are increasingly unable to continue purchasing the bonds, according to media reports.
The country is grappling with the highest unemployment rate in the European Union, which hovered just under 24% in the first quarter. During the first three months of year, 365,900 persons lost their jobs.
Financial markets get jittery about news from Spain's regions for a reason. Overspending by the regions are blamed for the government's overshoot of its budget deficit last year, which came in at 8.5% instead of the projected 6%. Recently, the government raised its budget deficit estimate to 8.9%, after more detailed information was reportedly given to the government by Madrid, Valencia, Andalusia and Castile-Leon.
Eurostat officials are expected to visit Spain in coming day to probe the revisions, a European Commission spokeswoman told The Wall Street Journal on Monday.
Bankia looms
News on Catalonia followed reports that troubled Spanish lender Bankia SA (BKIA) will need 15 billion euros ($18.86 billion) in fresh capital, against an estimate last week from the government that at least 9 billion euros would be needed. It's also in addition to €4.5 billion injected into the lender by the Spanish government last week, Derks noted.
Shares were suspended on Friday in Madrid ahead of an announcement by the lender's board, who are meeting to determine how much money they will need from the government.
The lender, which was partially nationalized recently, was formed out of a merger of several savings banks, which was hit hard by the collapse of the nation's property bubble.
Shares of Bankia have lost 11% this week and nearly 60% of their value year to date. Bankia shareholders have seen the value of their holdings plunge to a level of around 1.57 euros compared with the 3.75 euros it began trading at when it went public last summer.
"Such has been the loss of confidence in Spanish banks recently that numerous bank shares have had to be suspended today, amid speculation that soon many of them will need to be nationalized," Derks said.
"Greece may be the straw that breaks the camel's back, but it's the weight of Spain that will do the most damage," Derks said.

How To Abuse Furniture: aka Testing It Out
We loved Grace's suggestion to check Flickr before ordering furniture to get a full picture of what it's like. We've got to admit that we're a little old school when ordering larger pieces (we've had some bad experiences ordering stuff through catalogues!). We prefer to test out a piece in person whenever possible...
When I was considering couches from Crate and Barrel, I took a friend with me to test them out. While I don't think the sales people at Crate and Barrel were too happy, we scrambled all over the couches. We sat on the arms and on the backs. We balanced a glass on one arm. We bounced up and down on the cushions. We lay down. We pretended to sleep on them (and I considered it a good sign when my friend passed out for a few minutes and woke up refreshed). In short, we did as much as we could to see if these couches could withstand how they would be used in my house. Later, when they were delivered and my niece and nephew came over and jumped on them, I didn't flinch. I'd tested them out. These couches could stand it and still look good. Considering a bed? Bring a friend and bounce on it. Does it squeak? If it makes noise now, think of the noise it'll make when it's in your home. It's going to be your furniture. Abuse it well before you buy it.

Education is a main factor in society, as it contributes to a person's development and also the prosperity and growth of a community. It also leads to better opportunities, like personal development and financial security. Clearly, education is a key aspect of a persons life and the society at large. It is therefore important for one to invest in their growth. However, with the many challenges facing traditional education such as costly tuition fee, shortage of courses and busy course schedules has made many students look for alternative ways to study. One of this is by taking up online courses. This has become a popular avenue for many students to explore. Many companies recognize certification given online and will consider graduates from such colleges and give Course Hero work. Below are benefits why many students are preferring online learning.
Online learning
Variety of courses and programs
Online learning gives one the opportunity to study a range of different courses. One can choose any program of their liking and study it. One can also earn all their academic certification via online study. This means one can get a degree, career certification all the way to a doctorate through online study.
Lower costs
Online courses can be a more affordable option than the traditional campus setting courses. To note not all online degrees may be lower in cost in tuition prices compared to traditional colleges, but the overall associated costs are less costly. Costs like commuting to the campus and textbook course materials may be eliminated because one will not need to travel to campus and course books are usually available online.
Comfortable learning environment
Online learning has the benefit of one learning at their convenience and comfort. The fact that there are no physical class sessions enable one to be flexible and work around their study time. Lectures and learning materials are normally sent electronically to the student who will be able to easily access then read them and complete assignments.
Development of skills
Online learning enables one to develop different skills as they study. First, one gains technical skills in being able to access and study via the internet. They become conversant in browsing, use of the internet and computer technical skills. Secondly, one learns to be self-disciplined as they need to schedule their study time to be able to read, do assignments and listen to lectures. Thirdly, one also develops their time management, to be able to study and also engage in other activities.
Finally, one is able to receive high-quality tutor support. The tutors give assignments, regular tests and presentations to ensure that they deliver the best quality education to their students that they understand and comprehend the coursework. This maintenance high-quality education.

I recently completed my PhD in History at Stanford. My dissertation is on the politics, labor, and expertise of highway construction in 18th-century France, and so maps are frequently on my mind. I have been interested in the history of cartography and spatial history for many years beginning with an undergraduate investigation for the origins of the "Celtic Sea" in 18th-century maps. These days, I am interested in using databases and visualization tools to analyze quantitative and qualitative data collected by French engineers or written up by leaders in rural villages.
In 2 new projects, I have been studying the possibilities for scholarly communication via radio/podcasts, and also working on a history of archival inventories in regional French archives.
I am interested to learn more about how other historians are working with audio (as sources, and as a communication tool), what new developments there are for mapping messy historic cartographic data, and what kinds of initiatives there are for connecting archivists/librarians/historians using digital tools.

1. I am competitive. This first fact is a bit of a surprise to me, honestly. Growing up I was competitive in academics (some day I'll tell you about the no-holds-barred approach I took to ensuring I was my High School Valedictorian); despite that, I was never super competitive in athletics. Perhaps it didn't come naturally, or perhaps I just didn't have enough time to for sports between church, choir, drama, school and part time job.
2. I am persistant. During the FIRST open WOD, we had to snatch 75lbs. (after lots of burpees and snatches at 45lbs). I had only worked on snatch work a few other times…. and got no where close to that weight (75lbs). When it came time to try the lifts, many of the other girls decided to take the points they got and just keep snatching at the lower weight. For several minutes I fought that bar. Just doing anything I could to get it up. Tim, one of the trainers gave me a suggestion… and next try I got it! And I proceeded to get three more! Boom.
3. I can always push myself a little harder. One of the great things about CF is that everything is scalable. And as a novice to the sport, scaling is strongly encouraged. However, there may be times that I scale too much…simply because I have the option to do so. During the Open… there is no scaling. Getting those ever elusive "Rx" behind my name… for Five WODS… I know I should take a run at an Rx in regular classes.
4. I am capable of some pretty awesome shit. Not much more needs to be said about that! 😉 I'm lifting heavy weight, climbing tall ropes, running faster, pushing heavy things…
5. I have a lot to learn… and I love it! Every WOD presents a different challenge. Whether it's a move I've never done, a weight I should lift heavier, or movements I should complete faster.
6. I'm no longer intimidated to be in the weight room with the guys. When I'm not lifting… I miss it. And when I'm in a class with 4 others (all males) it doesn't phase me…. Until my coach tells them "don't let Kristin beat you." … Then, all I want to do is BEAT THEM! RAWR!
In the end, I faired pretty well for my first CrossFit Open. Having a few months under my belt… I'm excited to see how I fair next year!
I am the 20,192 fittest woman in the world… and I ranked pretty good in my box too 🙂

3 1/2 y/o won't use potty consistently
2 answers
I'm a young great-grandmother, raised four of my granddaughters. Worked in pediatrics for 16 years, have been around kids my entire life at home, church, etc. etc. Now I have encountered my 3 1/2 y/o great-granddaughter who has me totally stumped. She's very intelligent, talks like a 5 y/o, usually goes pee (when she's out (store, church etc.), but will still poo her pants even out - but when she is here, or at home she wets and poos her pants most of the time. We (Mom, Dad & myself) have tried virtually everything we have read, heard of and nothing has worked. Sometimes she tries (she's very independent) to clean her poo pants herself and we end up with poo everywhere. Help!
answers (2)
My daughter refused to poop on the toilet until we started giving her small lollipops as a reward. After the first one she got she had no more accidents. We had tried other rewards, including candy, but there was something about the lollipop that made it worth it for her. I don't know why, but that's the only thing that worked.
My daughter is 4 and a half now but I was in the same exact boat as you when it came to potty training. Sometimes she would go and then other times just flat out refused! We did try the rewards with candy, coins and a dollar bill even but to no luck. She's very fair so at times would rash up and honestly, telling her it would keep happening if she didn't go potty seemed to actually work. She didn't want that discomfort of going through it constantly. As of January this year, she finally started pooping in the potty and it has been smooth sailing ever since. She used to be so afraid saying it didn't go in there. When your great-granddaughter is ready it will happen - I use to not believe that phrase but honestly now I do.

Welcome To Poland First To Fight Website!
World War 2, also known as the Second World War, was the largest armed conflict in the history of mankind, spanning the entire world and involving more countries than any other war. It began on September 1, 1939 with the German invasion of Poland, which was soon after followed by the Russian attack on eastern Poland on September 17. Poland was the only country which fought in the European theatre of war from the first to the last day of World War 2 and, although at times experienced defeat, never capitulated.
The losses Poland suffered during the reign of terror under both the German and Soviet occupations were very high. Over 6 million citizens perished in German hands and about 2 million perished in Soviet labour camps and various places of execution, including Katyn. Despite this bloody contribution the post war Poles did not enjoy the freedom and independence they had fought for. With the consent of its Western Allies, Poland was left under the yoke of Russian communism. For the next 45 years the Polish nation had to suffer from an alien and brutal system, being exposed to terror and murder.
This website is dedicated to the millions of Polish men and women, soldiers and civilians who died for our freedom. We shall not forget!

Different crimes require different procedures to be followed, depending on what you are accused of, specific evidence gathering techniques, expert witness, or forensic evidence, will need to be offered or investigated.

As the seriousness of the charge against you will often depend on the value of the property that has been assessed, then it is important that this is investigated and challenged to reduce it. Additionally if you have been accused of using a weapon, then this can also be challenged. All of these matters will help reduce the severity of the charges you of facing.
In the case of weapons charges, drugs charges, or assault, these can all lead to particularly lengthy periods in jail, along with probation, and fines.
