How to be Assertive when Weddings go Wrong
No matter how many detailed to-do lists you've made, or long discussions you have had with your wedding vendors, there is still always the chance that something will not go to plan which is why you need to have the best wedding planner Essex or your local area. If something does go wrong, however, it is your right as the bride (and as the one who is paying for these services!) to demand compensation and better results! Here are some hints to give you confidence in fighting for the services you paid for and the results that you want.
One: Put Everything in Writing
No matter what it is – the kind of cake you want, the price you've agreed to play for flowers, or the measurements for your wedding dress – make sure that you write down every agreement you make while planning for this wedding. If possible, have the notes written on company letterhead for each contractor you deal with, or have them sign it. While this seems silly, it guarantees that you will have signed proof of what you ordered if something goes wrong.
Two: Ask Vendors how they've Dealt with Issues in the Past
When interviewing vendors for your wedding, make sure to ask them about their past experiences – remember that you are hiring them for a significant amount of money, so you are allowed to vet them as thoroughly as if you were hiring them for your company! Ask about their cancellation policies, their past responses to worst-case scenarios, and how compensation works if something doesn't go as planned. If you have these answers ahead of time, you will know exactly how to approach resolving any problems that happen at your wedding.
Three: Be Specific in Your Requests
Everyone is going to have an opinion for you when you are planning your wedding. From the colour of the flowers to the flavour of your cake, everyone is going to want to give you their personal opinion. Don't let yourself be easily swayed from the choices that you have already made! When you meet with a vendor, be sure to explain in detail what it is that you want, especially if your choices are different from current trends. Don't leave any room for the vendor to misinterpret your directions – a little bit of assertiveness now will save you a lot of complications later if things don't go as planned!
Four: Don't Withhold Payment
This is important – if things go catastrophically wrong, and you want your vendor to fix the problem you cannot threaten to withhold their payment. This will not encourage them to help you – it will just make them angry! Instead, politely but assertively work together to try and find a solution to the problem at hand – this may be a discount, or it may be a complete re-do of the product or a rush job on alterations. Even if your product isn't as perfect as you imagined it, the vendor still did put time and effort into it and do deserve payment – if they are good business people, they will recognize where they went wrong and will do everything possible to make it right.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a financing bill in an unorthodox manner.
Schwarzenegger vetoed the Assembly Bill 1176, which would have ultimately assisted San Francisco with financing concerns.
These types of city-specific bills are often signed without much comment from the Governor. The bill would have created specific financing districts and allowed the City to give them different financing plans.
However, Schwarzenegger returned the unsigned bill with a strange memo:
While Assemblymen were confused by his convoluted note, they soon noticed a controversial hidden message!
Was this an accident? Or did the Governor inappropriately act out?
Schwarzenegger has yet to comment on the found message.

Hey Idiots
32 comments:
Well said! These patients crowd our primary-care waiting rooms too, and they drive me nuts! Have you ever, EVER, gone to the doctor for a cold? Not me--and I had 2 colds in 3 weeks in December.ReplyDelete
One advantage we have in the office is that sometimes a patient has the good sense to call and ask about coming in, and sometimes we can talk 'em out of it.
I had a lady call 911 and demand that we give her a flu shot. I just stuck a post up about it.ReplyDelete
You waste my time and suck my soul
I feel ya.
Side note: I went to the ED for the first time in years last week. My 19yo son fell while carrying a full garbage can to the curb and gashed his forearm at 9:45pm. Thanks to my clandestine reading of this blog and others, I was not looking forward to the trip. It turned out not so bad. An hour and twenty minutes later, having never seen a doctor he left the ED with 7 stitches and some glue. The PA was great.ReplyDelete
The Bill? $975.00! $250.00 of that was my deductible. Unbelievable. I bet my insurance company and I paid for 2 or 3 of your dead-beat visits there.
I am so grateful for the existence of a flu shot; I've had asthma most of my life, and the flu makes it really scary. Fortunately, even when there are shortages, asthma patients like me get a priority, or I'd end up needing a respiratory therapy session. I tell people to get their damn flu shot, or I won't feel a bit sorry for them.ReplyDelete
But then I get the ones telling me that they won't get the vaccination because it GAVE them the flu, which is just b.s.
- Frank Drackman7:10 AM, February 07, 2008
I work in a more healthy area, so we need the colds to keep coming in to pay the bills. I prescribe the same Humibid I did in 1989 and an antibiotic unless I can reason with them. I didn't do an ER residency, but did do a month in my senior year. A grizzled attending told me 3 rules I still heedReplyDelete
1: If it hurts Xray it (see rule 3 for exceptions)
2: Noone ever got sued for putting some one on antibiotics
3: All women get a pregnancy test.
rule 3 was sort of a local variation, since 55 yr olds with ectopics were a not uncommon event
- Frank Drackman7:18 AM, February 07, 2008
Personal experience with antibiotic misuse. Some 15 years ago my Aunt suffered a minor cat scratch, Fluffy was a known quantity, shots up to date etc. Against my better judgement I offered a medical opinion that it looked pretty benign and needed only bacitracin ointment for a few days. Of course, the next day she goes to the local doc in the box, gets a cephalosporin, and some days later C. Dificile colitis, which has required a fortune in vancomycin to treat. She still thinks I'M the jerk for not treating her on day 1.ReplyDelete
- Frank Drackman7:24 AM, February 07, 2008
Dennis, the PA gave your son stitches and GLUE? The stitches I can understand, but I've never prescribed inhalants for analgesia. Wouldn't a boring opiate be more appropriate?ReplyDelete

Thank you for throwing some hate John Edwards way. If I ever hear that ambulance-chasing commie robot talk about how his dad was a mill worker again, my rapid blood pressure rise will cause blood to stream from my eye sockets.ReplyDelete
- Frank Drackman7:52 AM, February 07, 2008
Now that John Edwards has dropped out of the presidential race I'm waiting for a malpractice case to be filed against his wifes doctors. Seems pretty clear they messed up. She lost a breast and STILL has cancer. They don't need the $$$, but those doctors need to be taught a lesson or they'll keep malpracticing. I'm bein sarcastic, but a suit will be filed, mark my words.ReplyDelete
If they're knocked up, they go to L&D late at night, only to hear me say "Grandma was smarter than you think. Rest, drink some fluid and eat chicken noodle soup."ReplyDelete
And go home because you just wasted several hundred dollars to hear that advice.
Frank, antibiotics for a cold is bad medicine! I don't believe that "no one ever got sued for prescribing antibiotics"; we have an astounding number of ambulance-chasers out there who are always looking for their next meal. I have seen 2 patients with bad c. difficile enterocolitis after antibiotics, and 1 of them tooksome antibiotics she had at home for vague symptoms, without a doctor's evaluation. She ended up profoundly dehydrated, in acute renal failure, hypotensive, in the ICU.ReplyDelete
I once reviewed a medical record for a defense attorney: the plaintiff had a AAA repair and then post-op complications, and was suing for the latter I guess. But the AAA was 9 cm, and found serendipitously at CT scan after he presented to an ER with chest pain and got the CT to r/o a cardiac contusion. I thought he was a lucky SOB, frankly!
In my ED residency we were taught to remember 2 things:
1. Never carry a coffin alone-always get a consult.
2. Spend the patients money and not your kids inheritance- If there is a test available some attorney will ask you why you didn't order it.
I remember these things each day.
My momma would have a field day with the waiting room and all these colds and flu. (Emtala, Schmemtala, get your ass home and get some chicken soup..and a job)
- Neck pain didn't run smooth10:02 AM, February 07, 2008
About ten years ago I had a whiplash from a car crash. I got "checked out" right away because of altered consciouness and pain.ReplyDelete
But I gotta tell you, I was never more unprepared in my life for the agony that came over the next few days.
Apparently you get worse before you get better.
So maybe have some mercy on the MVA latecomers.
They may have believed they got away unscathed or with just some minor aches or bruises, but get alarmed when the pain and swelling begins to grow unexpectedly, instead of steadily receding like they expect.
Amen Shrodinger......purr on!ReplyDelete
- hallwayfour1:29 PM, February 07, 2008
Great rant. It has, indeed, been HORRIBLE lately in the ED with no less than 40 patients waiting at any given time. Yesterday, I had a 20 yo guy come in because he'd been diagnosed with influenza the day before, given Tamiflu, but still felt bad. What!?! Who is educating these people? Why is everyone so stupid?ReplyDelete
Due to an egg allergy, I can't take the flu shot. Thus, I tend to get the flu - working in healthcare and being exposed to it frequently.ReplyDelete
Nevertheless, I wouldn't dream of going to the doctor's office and certainly not the ED.
Which actually precipated an argument with my boss who wanted a doctor's note for my sick days. I told her if she wanted to pay for the visit, I'd go - but I wasn't wasting my money on a co-pay for a freaking virus.
Dear neck painReplyDelete
Yes you will be sore. Any person that takes control of a 3,000 lb metal object, strikes another 3,000 lb metal object and is suprised that they are "sore all over" 1-2 days later is just that, an idiot. I have only seen 1 neck fracture that was delayed, that required emergent surgery, in a non drunk patient who came in 2-3 days later, and he was an idiot motorcyclist who laid his bike down without a helmet. You most likely have cervical strain, and even if you have a herniated disc, unless you are paralyzed, shitting yourself, or can't urinate you won't get an MRI in my ED. You will be referred for follow up, prescribed toradol and a muscle relaxant, and discharged. If you aren't drunk and broke your neck or can't move, you will know it IMMEDIATELY. Not after consultation with a yellow book attorney.
- Frank Drackman2:34 PM, February 07, 2008
During my Internship I saw an elderly gentlemen there for "med refill". He produced a pill bottle with the hospital pharmacy sticker and "HT-21" in the line where the medication was supposed to be written. In those pre-internet days I went through every PDR and formulary with no sucess finding this strange drug, obviously some powerful chemotherapeutic agent or narcotic since it had no refills authorized. I even mentioned it offhandedly to a senior resident, in hopes his answer would tell me what it was. Finally, I called the pharmacy, something I still hate to do. Turns out, it was the Hospitals special placebo, only authorized for a few select patients. Ironically, where I trained was a short drive from Tuskeegee, another place known for its placebos. I did write a new prescription.ReplyDelete
- Frank Drackman2:47 PM, February 07, 2008
Shrodinger, this may be an Urban ER legend, but how do you defend yourself against the patient who comes in with the stupid minor neck sprain, leaves without an x-ray, then really does suffer a cervical fracture a few hours later doing something else stupid, shows back up the next day, now with a fracture. If you Xray everything that hurts, at least you can prove it wasn't broken the first time. Just bein a devils advocate.ReplyDelete

CAT: Great Rant! Couldn't have said it better myself....in fact I think I have said it before.ReplyDelete
Once (many moons ago before the "cock-sucking, bottom-feeding detritus-eating, low-lifed, scum-spewing, multi-goddamn-millionare John Edwards' types got wind of EMTALA) I actually got on the speaker to our waiting room and said, if you have the following symptoms.....you have the flu. We will be happy to see you when we can, but you might as well go home and get some rest because there's nothing we can do about it (this was before Tamiflu).
Wouldn't DARE do that now.
CAT, you don't practice too far from me, and I've been really surprised lately since we've been seeing a real variety of illness presenting with almost the same symptoms. We're seeing strep throat (our triage nurses swab throats...it's a long story, and subject for another post), Influenza A, atypical pneumonia, wierd sinusitis (I scanned some guy's head last night for the "worst headache" of his life in the left frontal area....and without any sinus symptoms, he had CT evidence of severe sinusitis.
So, my point is that I don't know exactly what's going on with some of these folks right now unless I do some investigation on the less obvious cases. It's wierd for it all to be out there at the same time. Y'all seeing the same variety?
I gotta add one thing to your rant (and to several of my previous rants too). Just because you're over 70, and you just "don't feel right" or "look right" is NOT an indication for you to be in the hospital! If your doctor won't put you in the hospital, quit calling 911 and trying to backdoor yourself into the f&*king hospital. We're not a goddamned hotel for old folks who "just don't feel good".
Earlier this week, our hospital was full. No beds available upstairs nor any coming available except for the occasional "celestial dismissal". We were holding 28 admits in the ER. Out of 41 total beds, more than 1/2 were admits. We pulled stretchers and chairs into the hallways to make space for 11 more patients, but we STILL had over 30 people in the waiting room. THIS SUX! I hate winter!
BTW, Dennis...I'm glad that your experience wasn't too bad. Here is the harsh reality though. Of the nearly $1,000 bill, only about $70 to $90 will make it's way to the doc. At least that's what happens in our system. In fact our average is $65 per chart.
That unfortunately very negatively affects my motivation sometimes!
Frank: love the glue comment! LMAO
ee: give the nice lady a flu shot....you bitch! (you know the sarcasm I am intending here.....)
'cat and erdoc85, same here. abso-fucking unbelievable. have you noticed... you too oldfart, that with the flu bustin' out all over that the schizophrenics are nowhere to be seen? just wondering. might be a good research project for someone smarter than me (i know that doesn't narrow it down at all).ReplyDelete
Damnit 911, you just jinxed my shift tonight. I'd managed to avoid any crazies the last few. (except for the lady with "severe fibromyalgia" who got her Norco 10mg, Soma, and Valium 10mg, "stolen". Her PCP in a nearby town "couldn't" refill them since it "wasn't time for a refill yet"! "Then what the hell do you think I'm gonna do?" I asked..."give me some from your ER stock" was the answer!!!! I sent her quickly packing, and cursing my parents, but wish I had some of Frank's special pills for her. As I told her, it's always the people like you who seem to 'lose' or have 'stolen' your Rx. It's never the Amoxil Rx!).ReplyDelete
I don't mind the whiny "my boyfriend left me" shit so much, I mind the $2,000 of useless lab tests and the 6 hours waiting to get a psych-fucking-chiatrist to call me back to transfer these "suicidal" idiots. (We don't have and I don't want a psych unit).
Then there's the argument with the psych-fucking-chiatrist about the patient. Yeah, I know the transfers are BS, but they have a 24 hour police hold placed on them, and I'm not "qualified" in my state to over ride that. (not to mention the CYA medicine here).
My favorite psych denial was because the patient had an elevated MPV (mean platelet volume) on the CBC and I couldn't explain it...hell, I didn't even know what it was!
If I get a BS psych patient tonight, I'm gonna "fart in your general direction".
The flu shot lady called my supervisor. I got written up for being "unprofessional."ReplyDelete
I was NOT unprofessional…my partner, my student and 2 cops backed me up on this. I argued with the supervisor and now I'm on paid leave. I thought: "Paid leave! He thinks this is a punishment! I'm actually going to sleep and get to spend some time with my fiancé. This is great!"
It turns out I only have part of tonight off. I have to go in at midnight. I still have to work from midnight tonight until fucking 0600 monday... AND every night next week…
EMS sucks the life out of me.
- Frank Drackman12:36 PM, February 08, 2008
The Navy Psychiatrists always tried to weasel out of seeing the few suicidal patients I thought needed their skills. They wanted us to get the patient to sign an actual "contract" where they agreed not to kill themselves, and we could actually get this contract from the psychiatry clinic. From my Perry Mason watching days I was pretty sure an illegal contract was unenforceable, so I made sure my name never appeared on one. I would just tell the Marine that suicide was a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and that seemed to work just as well as weeks of intensive psychoanalysis.ReplyDelete
ee: Paid leave? Punish me more!!! LOL! Good tidings on the long shifts ahead.ReplyDelete
Frank: No matter how many studies they do showing the uselessness of those stupid contracts...people still try to get them. If I wanna kill myself, I'll sign anything if you'll let me go.
OK, 911 not too bad of a punishment. Last night I just had a drunk, high, bipolar guy with resolved right upper abdominal pain from last week sometime who wanted his "heart arteries checked out".ReplyDelete
He was pain free when I saw him, maybe because he was fine to begin with, or maybe because of the 3 beers and 3 whiskeys (which he admitted to, there were likely more).
In any case, his biggest problem was the fact that he had shit himself and it dried all over his legs and feet (and also his sandals. Couldn't even undo the velcro since it was stooled shut).
He REEKED of cigarette smoke, and weed, drank like a fish, tested positive for coke and weed, had a cell phone covered in dried stool, and supposedly had bipolar illness (seems like that's the latest fashionable excuse for not getting a job)....but you guessed it....he "couldn't afford" a doctor!
NO personal responsibility....NONE. He even wanted US to clean up his dried poo! Can't wait 'til he take the cellular into AT&T and tries to get them to clean it!!!
Tried to call Hillary to clean him up, but the recording just asked for my credit card number.......
I hate when that happens.....ReplyDelete
We had a patient the other that we transported - seems she took most of her prescribed Ativan and Valium in one sitting, an approximate total being 20 5mg Valium and 30 1 mg Ativan. She'd been released from one of the psych facilities up here 2 weeks prior to this episode for doing the same thing.
My problems with this are numerous: first, she's putting her husband through hell as he's been doing everything in his power to get her help (unless he's co-dependent in some way, which is possible). Second, she's got both Medicare AND Medicaid, which means I'm paying for the trips. Finally, our company has a policy of not refusing to transport - in this case it was obviously necessary as she was starting to have issues with her airway - but with many of the bullshit calls we get that the subjects (NOT patients, in those cases) do not require ambulance transport. Many of my peers relate this to being a case of "you call, we haul - that's all."
At least that's what it feels like sometimes.....
Where have you guys been all my life - I thought I was living alone in my oppositional defiant world!?! But... I'm here to keep you honest in the role of the ER Doc's best friend: the Hospitalist (aka ER ex-lax). Spending my days picking up the trash & refuse that makes it through that "steel curtain" of admission criteria gives me a slightly different perspective. Today I was called multiple times for influenza admissions - yet not one had pneumonia, a low sat, mental status changes, or even serious underlying issues.ReplyDelete
In suburban Seattle (the land of hypochondriasis & Microsoft - and yes, they are inseparable) apparently we are admitting patients who are coughing (and have the flu) or feel horrible (and have the flu) or even have the dreaded fever (and have the flu). I provided some pointed educational tips to my young ED colleagues, "fuuuuck!" I haven't spent 16 years with my ass to the grindstone for this. I still love you guys though...
manchmedic: I affectionately refer to the case you present (with all of the Benzos) as an "underdose".ReplyDelete
medicaster: Happy to have you aboard! Love the inseperapable connection between the computer folks and the hypocondriasis! Though I gripe about the stupid folks...and they DO make the best stories...I'd much rather take care of a stupid appreciative patient than an intelligent hypocondriac!
I hate internet patients (especially on those rare occasions when they're right and I'm wrong).
Most Internet Patients think they have bird flu or Ebola....when I think that they have a viral syndrome or sinusitis.
Sorry to medicaster for my fellow ERMD's admitting the flu. I've had to put a few octogenarians in house because they can't take care of themselves...but I refuse to admit young otherwise healthy people.
To you and all of my hospitalist friends.....THANK YOU!
Yes, thanks to the hospitalists. We (I) don't call unless I believe someone need to be in the house.ReplyDelete

From ForensicsWiki
Although not strictly for forensic purposes, visualization tools such as the ones discussed here can be very useful for visualizing large data sets. As forensic practitioners need to process more and more data, it is likely that some of the techniques implemented by these tools will need to be adopted.

Programming Languages and Developer Toolkits
If you are building forensic tools, you probably want to start with one of these:
- Java and Swing
- Advantage: Portable and lots of good documentation out there.
- Disadvantage: Programs are a bit verbose, and only offers about 1/2 the performance of C
- Python with tkinter
- Advantage: Portable
- Disadvantage: Python is one of the slowest modern languages around.
- Python with wxWidgets
- Advantage: Portable and a better development environment than tkiner
- Disadvantage: wxWidgets is not installed by default, so you'll need to get it installed. Not as well documented as Tkinter
- Python with Qt (PySide)
- Advantage: Portable and a better development environment than tkiner or wxWidgets
- Disadvantage: Though not difficult, PySide has to be installed separately
- processing.org
- Advantage: Programming language specifically developed for visualization; compiles to java byte code
- Disadvantage: Very oddball

Italian Paintings 1250-1450
Two angels, aided by a young apostle, lower the Virgin's body into the tomb, while on the right Christ, accompanied by a host of angels, gathers her soul in his arms. Of the apostles looking on, only the bearded man with his hands clasped in prayer seems to note Christ's presence. He may be Dionysius Areopagite, the disciple of Saint Paul who, according to the Golden Legend by Jacopo da Varazze (c. 1267-77, Translated and adapted from the Latin by Granger Ryan and Helmut Ripperger ed. London, 1941, p. 451), was said to have been present at the Virgin's burial and to have given an account of it in his Book of the Names of God. If the figure is in fact Dionysius, this would account for the presence of thirteen, as opposed to the usual twelve, apostles in the panel. Saint Peter is the man on the left wearing a white stole with crosses, a liturgical garment reserved for popes. The older apostle using an aspergillum to sprinkle the Virgin's body with holy water may be Andrew, who is traditionally bearded and balding. On a rocky promontory in the upper left, the lower part of the red mantle of the kneeling apostle Thomas is visible. The rest of his figure can be seen in the upper section of the center panel in the Fogg Art Museum, which shows the Virgin giving Thomas her belt (see Cambridge, Harvard University Art Museums, Fogg Art Museum, Gift of Friends of the Fogg Art Museum Fund, no. 1920.1). 1 The two panels have been installed together and are exhibited as a unit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Fogg Art Museum on a rotating basis.
The Philadelphia and Cambridge panels constitute the center section of an altarpiece, whose lateral panels now in Lucca represent Saints Michael Archangel, James Major, and John the Baptist (see Lucca, Museo Nazionale di Villa Guinigi, inv. 287) and Saints John the Evangelist, Peter, and Paul (see Lucca, Museo Nazionale di Villa Guinigi, inv. 288).2 The three panels of the predella are the Adoration of the Shepherds in a private collection, Turin; the Adoration of the Magi (see Kansas City, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Gift of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, no. F61-60) in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City; and the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, in a private collection.3
Bernhard Berenson (1913) attributed the panel in the Johnson Collection to the Master of the Bambino Vispo, who has since been identified as Starnina. This attribution has been accepted by all authors except for Jeanne van Waadenoijen (1983) and Cornelia Syre (1979), who both thought it and the other panels of the altarpiece were by a follower of Starnina.
Zeri (1964) and González-Palacios (1971) noted that Starnina's altarpiece derives from the composition of Angelo Puccinelli's altarpiece (see Center panel: Lucca, church of Santa Maria Forisportam. Lateral panels: last recorded Radensleben, Germany, von der Quast Collection. Present location unknown) of 1386 for the church of Santa Maria Forisportam, Lucca. While there are differences between the two (for example, the Puccinelli does not include the episode of Saint Thomas receiving the Virgin's belt), the positions of the palm tree in the center and of Christ on the right instead of center are unique features of both of these paintings. These features are not found even in Giotto's Dormition of the Virgin of about 1310, which is a source for other details of the paintings.4 The iconography and composition of an earlier Dormition of the Virgin by Starnina, now in the Art Institute of Chicago,5 depart sufficiently from the Giotto to prove that it was not a preordained model. Another specific source for the Johnson-Fogg Starnina was Orcagna's relief in the tabernacle of Orsanmichele in Florence; executed between about 1352 and 1366, it was the first important work of art to combine the burial with the scene of the apostle Thomas receiving the Virgin's belt.6
The iconographical similarities of the Starnina and Puccinelli altarpieces may be tied to the spread of the Augustinian reform community of the Canon Regulars,7 founded in 1401-2 by Bartolomeo Colonna and Leone Gherardini da Carate in suburban Lucca. On October 2, 1406, the local bishop, Nicolò di Lazzaro Guinigi, dispossessed the Benedictine nuns of the Monastero dell'Angelo and replaced them with a group of reform canons,8 and two years later Santa Maria Forisportam became part of the same reform.9 From this point the two communities were closely connected, and in 1512 the canons of the Monastero dell'Angelo moved their headquarters to Santa Maria Forisportam. Starnina's altarpiece could well have been commissioned after the reform of Santa Maria Forisportam in 1408. It would not have been unusual to ask the artist to use Puccinelli's altarpiece there as a model.
A date around 1408 also accords with the style of Starnina's altarpiece, which most closely resembles his murals of 1409 in Empoli.10 The apostle Andrew in Empoli and the apostle sprinkling holy water in the altarpiece are nearly identical. As noted by Andrea De Marchi (in Filieri 1998, p. 269), another indication for the date is the resemblance of the two lower angels in Lorenzo Ghiberti's stained-glass window of the Assumption in Florence cathedral, installed by June 1405.11 The canons of the Monastero dell'Angelo may have ordered their altarpiece shortly after they took over the monastery in October 1406, or after the reform encompassed Santa Maria Forisportam in 1408. If the painting came from San Michele in Foro Lucca, it would have been begun as early as 1404. Carl Brandon Strehlke, from Italian paintings, 1250-1450, in the John G. Johnson Collection and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, 2004, pp. 391-398.
1. On this subject, see Neri di Bicci, Philadelphia Museum of Art, John G. Johnson Collection cat. 27.

At the suggestion of Federico Zeri, Eliot W. Rowlands (The Collections of The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Italian Paintings, 1300-1800.

Smoking at anytime is a harmful habit but during pregnancy it can affect the baby's health as well. Smoking has been linked to slow fetal growth, an increased risk of premature birth , and an increase in rates of health problems in infancy including death. The sooner a pregnant woman stops smoking the better. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT), with patches or gums, is a common method to help quit smoking. However, nicotine is a class D pregnancy drug. This means that it is dangerous for the developing baby, but it may be less risky than continued smoking. Nicotine found in cigarettes and NRT, has been linked to an increase in the rates of stillbirths.
The National Institute of Public Health in Denmark reviewed the records of stillbirths. The results published in the British Journal of Gynecology indicated that although smoking was associated with an increased risk of stillbirths, nicotine replacement therapy was not.
About the Study
The cohort study reviewed 495 cases of stillbirths. A death was considered a stillbirth if the pregnancy was beyond 20 weeks. Out of all the cases, eight were from women that had used NRT. When compared to nonsmoking women that did not use NRT:
- NRT use was not associated with higher risk of stillbirths
- Women that smoked had an increased risk of stillbirth
- Women that smoked and used NRT had an increased risk but lower than that of smokers
How Does This Affect You?
Smoking is harmful to you and your baby. It is best to stop before becoming pregnant. If you are already pregnant, the sooner you stop the better the outcome. There are several options and support systems to help you quit smoking. While NRT has been shown to be helpful it is not the best option for pregnant women. It should only be used if no other method helps and with your doctor's guidance.
If you smoke, talk to your doctor about methods to help you quit. If you are already pregnant, talk to your doctor before starting a nicotine replacement therapy.

Android comes with a disassembler called dexdump. The location of this tool is not intuitive, it runs on the Linux platform that hosts Android. Launch the emulator, and issue the following commands:
adb shell
In order to use the tool, one has to move the DEX file to the Android platform (e.g. adb push in case of the emulator). Then one can say:
dexdump -d classes.dex
The output of this tool is not very easy to use, however. Take for example the bytecode compiled from the following switch statement.
000418: 2b02 0c00 0000 |0000: packed-switch v2, 0000000c // +0000000c
00041e: 12f0 |0003: const/4 v0, #int -1 // #ff
000420: 0f00 |0004: return v0
000422: 1220 |0005: const/4 v0, #int 2 // #2
000424: 28fe |0006: goto 0004 // -0002
000426: 1250 |0007: const/4 v0, #int 5 // #5
000428: 28fc |0008: goto 0004 // -0004
00042a: 1260 |0009: const/4 v0, #int 6 // #6
00042c: 28fa |000a: goto 0004 // -0006
00042e: 0000 |000b: nop // spacer
000430: 0001 0300 faff ffff 0500 0000 0700 ... |000c: packed-switch-data (10 units)
The jump table used by the packed-switch instruction is not disassembled at all, it is not even dumped entirely. The same problem applies to fill-array-data tables and there are further restrictions.
I decided therefore to create a more comfortable disassembler and here is the first cut.
Access the dedexer project's page on SourceForge.
This tool is easier to use than dexdump for many reasons. For starter, it is a standard Java program that runs on the usual JVMs. Its format is much more readable and is familiar to those who know the Jasmin syntax. For example the previous fragment is disassembled like this by dedexer:
.method public calc1(I)I
packed-switch v2,0
ps418_422 ; case 0
ps418_426 ; case 1
ps418_42a ; case 2
default: ps418_default
const/4 v0,15
return v0
const/4 v0,2
goto l420
const/4 v0,5
goto l420
const/4 v0,6
goto l420
.end method
In addition, individual file is created for each class, along with the directory structure representing the package structure.
This is not a full decompiler, however. One has to know the Dalvik opcodes in order to work with the tool. This opcode list has been extended and maintained as dedexer was developed and is now in sync with the disassembler. You will see some unknown opcodes in the list. I have not encountered those instructions "out in the wild" and the disassembler does not recognize them either. If you see any of those, send me the DEX file so that I can analyse it!
This is a simple tool and is not without limitations. The most painful one is that the tool does not process the debug and annotation information in the DEX file. Array data dump could also be better. I am sure that the feature most people would like to see is a bridge toward Java class files but that is far away. Jasmin will be able to generate Java class files once the backward conversion from Dalvik opcodes to Java bytecode is provided but that's a complex task so don't hold your breath. The condition I set for myself as release condition is that the tool is able to disassemble the DEX file in framework.jar. It is able to, so I guess, the tool may be of use for others too. Enjoy!

A technical indicator to check out is the Williams Percent Range or Williams %R. Currently, Amerigo Resources Ltd. (ARG.TO)'s Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R is calculated at -25. The Williams %R can be an effective momentum indicator to help measure overbought/oversold levels. Being a bound oscillator, levels will range from 0 to -100. Typically, if the value moves above -20, the stock may be considered to be overbought. On the other end, if the indicator heads under -80, this might signal that the stock is oversold.
Another technical indicator that might serve as a powerful resource for measuring trend strength is the Average Directional Index or ADX. The ADX was introduced by J. Welles Wilder in the late 1970's and it has stood the test of time. The ADX is typically used in conjunction with the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI) to help spot trend direction as well as trend strength. At the time of writing, the 14-day ADX for Amerigo Resources Ltd. (ARG.TO) is noted at 26.89. Many technical analysts believe that an ADX value over 25 would suggest a strong trend. A reading under 20 would indicate no trend, and a reading from 20-25 would suggest that there is no clear trend signal.
Investors may use various technical indicators to help spot trends and buy/sell signals. Presently, Amerigo Resources Ltd. (ARG.TO) has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 29.91. The CCI was developed by Donald Lambert. The assumption behind the indicator is that investment instruments move in cycles with highs and lows coming at certain periodic intervals. The original guidelines focused on creating buy/sell signals when the reading moved above +100 or below -100. Traders may also use the reading to identify overbought/oversold conditions.
Taking a look at other technical levels, the 3-day RSI stands at 41.44, the 7-day sits at 51.81 and the 14-day (most common) is at 53.61. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is an often employed momentum oscillator that is used to measure the speed and change of stock price movements. When charted, the RSI can serve as a visual means to monitor historical and current strength or weakness in a certain market. This measurement is based on closing prices over a specific period of time. As a momentum oscillator, the RSI operates in a set range. This range falls on a scale between 0 and 100. If the RSI is closer to 100, this may indicate a period of stronger momentum. On the flip side, an RSI near 0 may signal weaker momentum. The RSI was originally created by J. Welles Wilder which was introduced in his 1978 book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems".
Keeping an eye on Moving Averages, the 50-day is 0.16, the 200-day is at 0.15, and the 7-day is 0.17. Moving averages have the ability to be used as a powerful indicator for technical stock analysis. Following multiple time frames using moving averages can help investors figure out where the stock has been and help determine where it may be possibly going. The simple moving average is a mathematical calculation that takes the average price (mean) for a given amount of time.

In the Newtonian view of the world, binary star systems should remain in a stable orbit in perpetuity, no matter how massive the objects or how close the orbit. But with general relativity, that changes; energy gets carried away from the system in the form of gravity waves, which gradually causes the orbit to decay, ultimately leading to a merger.
By observing binary systems of massive objects, we've determined that general relativity gets it right. These systems behave just as general relativity predicts, giving us confidence that the theory is correct. What's missing is the other half of the confirmation: gravity waves. We haven't detected any originating from these systems. In fact, we haven't detected any, period.
It's not for lack of trying. For nearly a decade, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, or LIGO, searched for gravity waves from astronomical events, like the merger of two black holes (a number of other detectors have also engaged in the search, but all have come up empty). Now, scientists are readying a worldwide network of LIGO-like detectors that should start coming online in 2017. A short perspective in Science outlines the project's plans.
LIGO's design is very simple. Laser beams are sent down long, perpendicular tunnels where they bounce off mirrors before heading back to the source. When they return, the light from the two beams is allowed to interfere, which creates a distinctive pattern. If a gravity wave passes through the observatory, it will distort the space occupied by this setup ever so slightly and, since the two beams are perpendicular, the effect will be different on each. As a result, the beams will interact differently, and the interference pattern will change.
To increase sensitivity, the LIGO project also operated two detectors, one in Louisiana, the other in Washington. Due to the large separation, the waves should arrive at each at a slightly different time, allowing some rough estimate of the direction to the event that produced them.
If LIGO didn't detect anything, there were two potential explanations. Even the most energetic events, like the merger of two black holes, produce very weak gravity waves. As a result, the LIGO detectors' four kilometer tubes would only shift by about four billionths of a nanometer when one passed. The other problem is that these events are extremely rare, with estimates that only one occurs in the average galaxy over about 10,000 years.
Both of those issues are now being addressed. Using the lessons learned from the first detector, work is underway on an Advanced LIGO that may be operational later this year. But increased sensitivity will only get us so far if the events are rare. The solution there is to look deeper into the Universe, and to do that requires more detectors. Europe already has one in VIRGO, located outside of Pisa. These detectors will eventually be joined by LIGO-India and the KAGRA detector in Japan. With three detectors in operation, their combined sensitivity will let us sense events out to about a billion light years; with all five, our reach will extend out to nearly 2.5 billion. (For context, Andromeda, the nearest galaxy, is 2.5 million light years away.)
By 2017, we should be able to detect about 10 events a year. Perhaps just as importantly, we'll have a better sense of where the events we see are taking place. With only three detectors, the errors on locating events would be about 50 degrees; with all five, that figure drops to six degrees. This result might give us a chance to point a telescope at it to see what it looks like.
Of course, to some extent, we have to know what we're looking for, and in the case of a merger of black holes, that's not necessarily obvious. The author of the perspective, Mansi Kasliwal, indicates that theoretical physicists have been busy with trying to understand the sort of energy that might be released. Initial models put the optical output of neutron star mergers somewhere in between a nova and a supernova and suggest that they will emit reddish light for hours or days. That may be enough to allow an infrared survey telescope to spot one.
For now, gravity waves remain rooted firmly in theory, with only indirect evidence for their existence. But if all goes according to plan, that status will have changed by the end of the decade.

It's been a moving and turbulent few weeks. Things are happening at lightening pace and it's taking up a lot of energy and emotions to keep up! I am keeping the trusted camera at my side at all times just so that I can capture the moments. I'll be going back when things have slowed down and sort out all the thoughts and feelings later.
My parents and brother were here last week – a great week, which climaxed in our vow renewing ceremony. What a blast – even better than any original wedding. If it goes on like this the next one in 10 years will be outrageous. LOL!
Before that however, we took a ride of a lifetime. For Tom's 40th birthday, early April, his friends and I pitched in for a hot air balloon ride. What I did not know, our friends also pitched in for me. So on Mother's Day weekend Tom and I arrived at 6 AM to the fields where we were going to be taking off from.
We were assigned our pilot and helped to set up the balloon. Not long after that 13 balloons lifted off – an incredible feeling!
I won't waste too many words on this as pictures speak louder than words – just come along with me and enjoy flying high with us!
Early in the morning – we helped the pilot and his team set the balloon up. I was so overwhelmed by the different impressions. Being so early there was a wonderful peaceful tranquility in the air. The field was still moist from the morning dew and everyone worked like clockwork to get their balloons ready for the spectacular ride.
Our pilot was a professional and has been doing this for 20 years. We took off fairly quickly to get a breathtaking view of the other balloons as they lifted off.
Once up I was stumped at the breathtaking view of the red roofed houses, churches and the yellow rape-seed fields against the green forests. The day could not have been better. not too warm and perfect blue clear skies.
It was extremely handy having an experienced pilot. He told us many stores and gave us handy tips. The best however was that he was able to guide the balloon so perfectly. which allowed me to get several incredible shots.
Tom and I have wanted to do this for a very long time now. The moment seemed perfect – looking at the beautiful country we've been living in from the top – one last time before we say goodbye.
Generally the ride was for 1.5 hours but as we chatted with the pilot and his wife we mentioned we were going to be leaving Germany, to which he kept us up for another half hour. I wish we could have been up there all day long, but all good things come to an end.
With champagne and an ennoblement of Duke and Duchess of the Yellow Fields of Apolda we ended the trip.
It's back to packing and clearing out for us. Tom's last week here in Weimar before he hands in his dissertation and heads on over to Essen to begin his new job on the 1st June. Mid June he will then take off for Doha! Time is flying too fast!
