The view of Rangitoto Island from Kohimarama beach, in Auckland Harbour.
It all started in Auckland New Zealand on the 3rd of January 1933-on the North Shore of Auckland City. Dad was a telegraphist with the Post Office and Mum was a nurse. They had a section in Selwyn Ave Mission Bay (on the Auckland side of the harbour) and built on it –with the aid of Dad's brother Norman, who was a carpenter-of course this was before WW2.
After shifting into our new house, and a couple of years later, I went to Kohimarama Primary School at the age of five.
While the building was going on Mum Dad and I lived in a house directly over the road from where our house was to be. Norman was very fussy in the materials to be used in the construction–and often was the time when he did not accept sub quality materials — especially timber. He would be laughed at today for doing such a thing–as we should know from the inferior products that are used today–built in obselescence I would call it. One thing I am reminded of at this stage — when I was 18months old I tried and nearly succeeded to drown some kittens of the next door cat—but in future got on well with the neighbours.
And the World War 2 arrived.And my sister, Annette Hannah, my only sibling, was born on December 1st. 1940. Dad was really tied up with communications, in the telegraph, as far as the War went and was on call as well as working extremely long hours at the Post Office where he was an expert on thhe morse key, and on his retirement in 1957 was the fastest morse key operator in New Zealand at 42 words a minute, and also was known for his easy to read style.
And of course when the Japanese came into the War the pressure was really on. And the tension was felt in the office and from afar.There was a real fear from the Rising Sun.Which the adults were more aware of.
As far as school was concerned there seemed to be no disruption to the routine. Most probably we ( the students ), were too young –in the early days of the war– to recognise the horror of the most devastating disruption the had ever encompassed the Earth. There were teachers with names like Miss Gezzie, Mr Atkins–Tommy–of course. The headmaster was Mr.Carr–known as Nobby.
All year long we went to school in bare feet–a great idea–but the girls had their feet covered. In the summer we went to Kohimarama Beach to swim-supervised by our teacher–the toilet there had a joke written on the wall-"Here I sit lonely hearted paid a penny and only farted".Also there was the other "Toilet Joke."–"When into this place I enter, to dispose of what I eat, place it in the center ,and not upon the seat"
One of our teachers took a very grim outlook to one of the students– Jimmy Green–and at any excuse he would give Jim a "Half Dozen". When I think of this now I think of a very sick situation. The name of the teacher was, Robert Charles Smith–R C, for short, but not for long—Arsey that is.
In 1943, I was riding my bike and in the process fell off. I hit the road with my mouth open and happened to break one of my front teeth, This required a root filling, a gold post and core and a crown, which was in that new material Acrylic. As this material was in its infancy it was not very hard, and tended to discolour. As it would happen 10 months later I was riding a friends bike, which was a fixed wheeler, riding along I forgot this and tried to stop peddaling, of course I came off again, and believe it or not broke the crown. Dad was a little upset by this and said I had to pay for the new crown myself. This was done by getting a job delivering groceries for Mr. Taylor, the local grocer, after school. This was the first job I had, aged 10.These events seemed to say that the said John was accident prone, which I was!!!. A few months later I was up the road at Jo Brown's house when I saw a birds' nest in a tree. Being me, I climbed up the said tree and out onto a branch–which promptly broke. Falling down onto the ground I received a broken arm–greenstick fracture to the radius or ulna– or both. Jo Brown was a lady who lived in a large house—she and Freddy, her husband had no children– she had some Maori Heritage in her a was a nice lady . Of course this was during the War, and in the hospital I was put into a men's ward to keep space for wounded soldiers elsewhere. The fracture was hard to set and I had a few anaesthetics during the next week. By the way the anaethesia was chloroform and ether–pleasant ? –a definite no !!
In my last year at "Kohi" school I had a job at the local Chemist, which entailed deliveries–and mixing ointments–which the apprentice thought was a good idea as it really required a lot of physical work. At the end of the day it was delivery time , on the bicycle and the Manager of the shop made sure that there were a few deliveries to do , and the further up the hills of Mission Bay the better. I remember one of the parcels was OrthoGynol and that , for sure, had to be delivered that night. The shop was on the waterfront at Mission Bay and was a great place to work, a few hours a day.
Talking in the chemical field–one of my fellow students acquired a severe infection and was one of the first in Auckland to receive Penicillin as a treatment for his condition. He had many injections and his upper arm looked like they had been wounded in battle. Also at times I delivered the "Auckland Star" newspaper.
The war effort was in fullswing and, as students we took up the task of making up camoflage nets, and of course soon became experts in fabricating knots to form the webbing of the quite large nettings. Near to Mission Bay at Glenn Innes there was, a U S Army base, and boys being boys a group of us used to go there, on our bikes, and forage through the old and used material. This was in the form of rubber inner tubes for tyres –which we used to make shanghais, and was there a lot of empty Coca Cola bottles which we lined up for Target practice with our shanghais.
A friend of mine–was schoolmate–Peter Clifton–who lived in St Heliers and went to Kohi School, often used to ask me to his home. The first time I went, aged about nine, was via the Holgate Street Steps. At the top of these steps was sign-Pedestrians Only. I mixed this word up for Presbyterians, and thought that as I was not one of those, the steps were out for me. But it did not take long for the mixup to be rectified, and I proceded down the steps with glee. There was also Norman Atkins-no relation to our teacher– Norman was a great drawer, and his images of the Spitfire aircraft were excellent–here is a photo of one —-and also the Hurricane
The war was over — after the dropping of the A Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki–in August 1945. Of course we were given the day of school and I headed to the City — where, even though I was only 12yrs old– we joined in the crowd– which blocked all the traffic in the main streets. There was the sound of a klaxon horn, which could be heard from a great distance. And the beer was really flowing–with all the other alcoholic beverages–and the girls were in great demand, for a cuddle or a peck on the cheek. And it took a few days to clean up the mess in Queen Street–and what a mess it was.Of course this was my last year of School at Kohimarama Primary—Which had the motto–Enter to Learn Leave to Serve. If my memory serves me right,I was at this school for seven years. There were many students down the years whom I made friends with — the near neighbours ! The Taylors -Patriach–Emil, Matriarch–Myrtle, and the Seven Sons
John McGeachen and David Taylor held by fathers Doug and Emil.
David, John, Paul, Max, Ian, Alan and Ralph. Their residence was up the road, by two houses, from our place. Then across the road and up a few places were the Smiths, Mr. and Mrs.—then, Iris, Joyce, Betty, Gweny, Gordon, Murray and Percy.I went to school with all these students, and I must add that there were a few Girls in the Classes but of course that was on a need to know basis.
During all these years of course there was the Saturday Afternoon at the Movies. All the school kids were given 9 pence for the "Arvo" Sixpence for the Movie and Threepence for an ice cream. There were shorts, a serial–The Green Archer–The Lone Ranger–The Shadow–etc etc. By the way if you were naughty during the week you could be banned-by your parents– from attending–a very severe penalty.
The Standard Six was the end of the Kohi School sojourn–that was in 1945–and then it was on to New Plymouth Boys' High School–in1946.

Partners in Prevention
The Healthcare Foundation of La Porte (HFL) Board of Directors has approved $2.8 million in grant funding over the next four years for Partners in Prevention, an initiative that will help schools identify, implement and sustain evidence-based substance use prevention programs. More than 13,000 La Porte County students will be impacted by curriculum that supports positive peer relationships and social competences to avoid the use of addictive substances.
HFL commissioned a study through the Center for Health Policy from the IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health that assessed the burden of opioid addiction in La Porte County and identified the community's needs or gaps in providing adequate prevention, treatment, and long-term recovery services. One of the recommendations from the La Porte County Opioid Study was to use evidence-based prevention programs in schools to combat the opioid epidemic.
School-based prevention is an effective long-term strategy to stop substance use and save lives. Schools in La Porte have an opportunity to equip students with skills that not only help them avoid drugs, alcohol, and other addictive substances but can also help improve their academic achievement, attendance, classroom behavior and social and emotional well-being. These programs can also help reduce bullying and violence.
Partners in Prevention is a grant initiative offered by the Healthcare Foundation of La Porte (HFL) to all schools in La Porte County. Schools are invited to apply for planning and implementation grants, technical assistance, and evaluation for proven substance use prevention programs. Through the first phase of this initiative, a total of $71,004 has been awarded to 11 schools for planning grants. HFL has contracted the Education Development Center (EDC) as the Technical Assistance (TA) provider that assisted schools during the planning and will help with the implementation phase of the initiative. RTI International (RTI) has been contracted as the evaluation firm who will annually, over the course of three years, evaluate programming effectiveness and delivery of programming with fidelity. HFL is interested in learning about the overall impact of Partners in Prevention, and the effects on related youth risk and protective factors. These factors determine how drug use begins and how it progresses.
In 2018, Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation committed more than $10.2 million to 151 Indianapolis schools delivering proven prevention programs to 71,112 students by the 2020-2021 school year. This funding is helping to implement evidence-based prevention programs in public (traditional, charter and innovation network) and accredited private K-12 schools in Marion County. Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation has kindly permitted HFL to adopt the main components of their initiative, and we thank them for their support.
HFL will connect grant recipients with prevention experts from EDC who will provide free, step-by-step technical assistance to help: 1) identify the proven, age-appropriate prevention program(s) that best meet(s) the needs of each applicant's students, staff and school environment and 2) help ensure planning grant recipients carefully think through the steps required for successful program implementation and continued sustainability. The technical assistance providers have been chosen by HFL due to their expertise in assisting schools implement evidence-based programs with fidelity. RTI International will determine whether the programs are being implemented as intended and whether these efforts are having the expected impact.
Schools participating in the Partners in Prevention initiative applied for implementation grants in the spring of 2019 to begin implementing their chosen evidence-based substance use prevention program. Schools have begun their selected programs in fall 2019 and will continue over the course of three years (August 2019-June 2022). Schools awarded implementation grants will continue to receive support from EDC and RTI throughout the three-year grant period to get their programs running and collect data to evaluate the impact of their programs.

The Sinking City review
Frogwares' Lovecraftian action-adventure is somewhat dragged down by its own ambition, but ultimately emerges as an enjoyably atmospheric thriller.
Observation review
Sci-fi fans will want to take a close look at this clever space station thriller in which players control the onboard artificial intelligence – or do they?
Draugen review
Red Thread's "fjord noir" adventure is a gorgeous yet haunting exploratory mystery that's undermined by disappointingly few answers.
Close to the Sun review
An otherwise decent Tesla-inspired thriller is held back somewhat by watered-down gameplay and horror elements.
Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love review

Heaven's Vault review
The only translation issues will be your own in inkle's substantial, beautifully written archeological adventure with its own ancient language to decipher.
The Walking Dead: The Final Season review
Revived from the grave itself, the four-part series by Telltale and Skybound is a welcome send-off that provides a worthy closure for its beloved protagonist's story.
The Occupation review
This real-time spy thriller will keep you busy sneaking and snooping around an hour at a time, but is tripped up by some troublesome mechanical and narrative issues.
WILL: A Wonderful World review
Holding people's fates in your hands is something of a mixed blessing in this ambitious but uneven choice-driven visual novel.
Trüberbrook review
This stunning German adventure made with real miniature sets is bubbling with charm, even if its ambitious narrative rushes a bit too rapidly to its conclusion.
The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince review
This side-scrolling PS4 exclusive is a lovely fairy tale platforming adventure that stumbles over some pacing and design issues.

Believe it or not, this charmingly surreal platforming adventure is one of the more enjoyable games you've probably never heard of.
The Council review
An ambitious attempt to assemble a compelling historical mystery with narrative RPG elements ultimately loses its way after an initially promising start.

hello my Toshiba laptop has changed all the default programs to media player so that whenever i try to open any program it brings media player opener and says this file cant be opened by media player, so how can i fix the problem.
Any restore points set prior to the date/time this happened?
If the problem is also with the lnk files on the desktop you may need to run the lnk registry fix from here:
If #3 doesn't work then try the EXE fix instead on the same website.
I've found that is usually the fix.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

Good story films are often much preferred. Many times the story of the films shows the death of the lead actors. In many films, the scene of the actor's death is filmed in such an emotional way that the tears of the fans are seen while watching. Today we are going to tell you about some such superhit films. Bazzigar The film was released in the year 1993, and the film had Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in the lead roles. It is a revenge drama film, and the climax scene of the film depicts the death of Shah Rukh Khan. This scene has been filmed in such an emotional way that the audience wept after watching this scene. Tere Naam Bollywood superstar Salman Khan's film is considered one of the finest films of his career. Towards the end of this film, the film's heroine Bhumika Chawla's death scene is filmed. At the end of the film, instead of marrying someone else, the heroine dies after consuming poison, due to which the film becomes more emotional. Kabil The film stars Hrithik Roshan and Yami Gautam in the lead roles, and the film's storyline is both the actors are blind and in love with each other. Taking advantage of the heroine's blindness, the film's villain rapes the actress, due to which the actress commits suicide, and seeing this scene, tears come in the eyes of the fans. Kesari The film, released in 2019, was based on a true incident. Akshay Kumar was in the lead role in the film. The story of the film was the story of the sacrifice of the Sikh soldiers, which made the fans emotional. Also at the end of the film, Akshay Kumar's death made everyone cry.
The post These films became super hit due to the death of the actors, fans cry their heart out at the end of the movie appeared first on NewsCrab.

Good bye Hollywood
In another of my alternative histories I have been thinking about a world without Hollywood. I am going on a no Hollywood diet, I do find most US films, full of too much cheese with contrived plots. I have been watching lots of Latin American cinema, painless way of learning a bit of spanish, they tend to be low key, little soap operas based on human relationship...they feel, they feel and this is a tough thing for somebody who is 0.3 an academic to say 'authentic', real, believable.
You can get lots of good stuff from Amazon or other dvd rental schemes, although Cuban stuff is more difficult to come across.
If you buy a multi-region DVD player, cheap now, you can watch from any region, this region thing is another marketing device....films can be released in one part of the globe and then in another with different promotion...put in a code and you can watch from any region.
I suppose one of the first I watched was 'El Topo', which my friend Christina Borgenstierna wanted to see, its wholly excellent but not run of the mill. Its a heavy duty counter culture classic loved by John Lennon, a spiritual cowboy film, very surreal and bloody.
Alejandro Jodorowsky, Chilian-Mexican, its director is pretty much a zen master...his Santa Sangre is good as well, pretty much a magical horror film....his interview on the Jonathon Ross show was fun, tells a good tale of Boddhidarma going to the Chinese Emperor.
Machuca (2004)in contrast is about the fall of Allende in Chile, when the right moved in with a coup, there is a stunning scene where the priest eats the host, declaring the school he runs is no longer a place of god, after the authorities 'reform' it!
Alea the great Cuban director has produced a load of master pieces, often pretty critical of the bad side of socialist Cuba, Guantanamera (1995) his last is a good start
Last Supper (La última cena) (1976) - Fiction, 120 minutes...about a slave revolt is a must see.
Death of a bureacrat is a bit too slapstick for me
Chocolate and Strawberry (1993) which deals with gay rights on the island, repression, conformity...sounds dull but is great, going to finish watching it after I post this.
There are a load of good films with the Mexican actor Gael García Bernal Amores perros (Love's a Bitch) (2000), Y tu mamá también (2001), El crimen del Padre Amaro (The Crime of Father Amaro) (2002), and of course, The Motorcycle Diaries (2004).
Seen them all...all great and very accessible...low on politics though, interesting how non political 'El Che' was as a youth, specially when we remember Bookchin joined the Communist Party age nine! I guess without experiencing poverty in the trip across the continent and the coup in Guatamala he would have never been a revolutionary.
Valentín is a 2002 film direted by Alejandro Agresti, very sweet, sad Argentine film, couple of clicks on amazon to watch....about a nine year old boy, whose parents are not all he desires..he finds new parents, smart lad.
Suggestions for more Latin American films please....must do a Werner Herzog post very green political in a non obvious way.

Subtitled flicks eh! And a boycott of Hollywood films - hard one that!
'Valentin' is a great little film, if a bit weepy. note the bit in the film with priest eulogising over Che Guevara to his congregation, some of whom walk out.
'Etre et avoir' is a great docu-film going through the seasons of a small French community centring on a local school.
In terms of more overtly political films, I loved 'the tin drum' and 'Germinal'.
'Morgan, A suitable case for Treatment' is a really funny 60s number with a rather slinky Vanessa Redgrave and the ultimate Irene Handel. A trotskyist artist rebels against his stalinist parents (a greasy Joe proprieter and an all in wrestler) and has some funny Jacques tati-like moments dressed as a gorrila. I haven't seen this film in 15 years and it is still strongly lodged in my subconscious.
Oh and of course there is 'Le cage aux Folles', which is of course the best film ever made!

I am not making a puritan political point here..I am just finding US output a bit tedious.
Its also interesting to see how similar films are from a particular part of the world, Hollywood looks diverse but go somewhere else and it looks pretty uniform.
I think the one virtue of a bit of university work is good film access.
The part of Valentin with the sermon on che is good...the influence of religion is a big feature also in a lot of the latin american cannon.
thanks for the film recommendations!

Latest update January 24th, 2020 12:00 AM
Mar 06, 2018 General Comments Off on Resilinc CyberSCRM™ Guards Supply & Service Chains
SAN FRANCISCO, March 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Resilinc, a global provider of supply chain resiliency solutions, today announced the availability of Resilinc CyberSCRMä, an advanced cybersecurity risk monitoring and mitigation platform to protect enterprise supply chains, including indirect services suppliers, from cybersecurity threats.
"When we looked at exposure to cyber threats in global enterprise supply chains, we found that these threats can come from any part of a multi-tier supply chain, including outsourced service providers," said Sumit Vakil, Chief Product Officer at Resilinc Corporation. "Our new CyberSCRM product will provide enterprises with an integrated, multi-tiered assessment, monitoring, alerting, and response platform, for both their physical supply chains and their third-party service providers. This new offering leverages our ability to assess across multiple tiers, monitor for cyber threats in 44 languages across more than 100,000 sources globally, and empower our clients to take a coordinated response as cyber threats emerge."
Multiple security incidents from 2016 and 2017 highlight the growing need for the new CyberSCRM product. An analysis of major breaches shows that the points of entry are often trusted suppliers and service providers in addition to breaches of purely internal systems at organizations. Given that supply chains and service chains are multi-location and multi-tier, only a comprehensive and constantly updated information base provides the full coverage enterprises require. Resilinc's new offering leverages global supply and service chain intelligence with advanced technology that constantly analyzes each customer's exposure to risk, threats and events.
"Cyber threats in the supply chain may just be one of the largest single risk areas to most organizations today and in the years to come. Resilinc designed its new solution with that single idea in mind," said Bindiya Vakil, CEO, Resilinc.
Resilinc CyberSCRM Product Description
The new cloud-based offering is a stand-alone product for enterprises needing to guard their physical supply chains and their outsourced service providers from the growing risk of cyber threats, including meeting the GDPR compliance date of 25 May 2018.
Core features:
Resilinc CyberSCRM is available immediately in controlled deployment to key customers. General availability is scheduled for April 2018.
About Resilinc
Resilinc is the leading global supplier of supply chain risk and resiliency solutions. Industry-leading companies such as IBM, General Motors, EMC, Amgen and Western Digital rely on Resilinc to plan for potential supply chain failures, and to protect revenue despite supply chain disruptions worldwide.

The Aasta Hansteen SPAR is now moored in position with 17 anchor lines:
Next the risers will be pulled in to connect it to the wells on the seabed and the Nordled pipeline to the mainlands.
On the other end of the world Nick Sloan is planning to tow ice bergs to Cape Town to slack the thirst of the population there:

Another interesting towing operation along the Norwegian coast will be performed soon:
Probably with less publicity though.

The change of tow configuration took place around 0300 hrs. this morning and resulted in an interesting track line:
Now heading for the Gjoa position.
They are out in open waters but haven't started reconfiguring or turning north yet:
I used to do this for a living you know
PS> They appear to do good without both me and Knut Lussand being there though.
A little delay occurred during the night:
But they are moving again now:
Estimated to be in open waters this afternoon and changing to 4-1 tow configuration for the rest of the 500 n.mile tow up north.

They are under the cables now!!!

In the article quoted above there is a link to previous large tows performed in Norwegian waters, from the 1970's to 1997:
These are all about tow performed for Norwegian Contractors, the builders of Condeep concrete platforms,
One major towing operation that is not mentioned is the Ekofisk Barrier which was a Joint Venture between Dutch and Norwegian companies. (PECONOR)The tow and installation was performed by Nortow and Smit together in 1989: http://newsok.com/article/2269354
Smit supplied two Towmasters while Knut Lussand from Solstad and Alf Giske from Farstad was towmasters for Nortow. (I was Project Mariner for the MWS team)
This was a more complex operation than the Gullfaks C or Troll A in my opinion. We had the same problem with deep draft and narrow fairway for the coastal tow, plus shallow water enroute in the North Sea, but not the problem with overhead cables across the fjords.
Our main problem was installation around the Ekofisk Centre while at full production, with pipeline going in and out at the subsided bottom and bridges to/from several other platforms.
The installation tolerance was also a lot more critical, at 7.5 cm. (not 50 m. as for Troll A) We got 3.5 Cm from ideal Zero.
PS> The picture of Knut Lussand in the "Command Container" at top of the article was actually taken during the Ekofisk Barrier tow, as can be seen from the drawing on the whiteboard.

Tow of Aasta Hansteen SPAR has commence.
It is kind of history in the making:
- The largest SPAR in the world and the first in Norwegian waters.
- The deepest field in Norway
- North of the Arctic Circle. (But not the northernmost field)
- The first time a SPAR is towed to field with the deck structure installed.
- The largest tow in Norwegian waters since 1995.
- A new generation key personnel performing the operation.
Here is an article from Sysla previewing the operation:
From Sysla today:
The Aasta Hansteen SPAR tow is on the way out from Stord:
Sysla will keep a running commentary with pictures and maybe some video of the towing operation as it progresses:
https://sysla.no/maritim/folg-aasta-hansteen-slepet/ They will get to the most critical point in a few hours; passing under the cable fjord crossing at Langenauen
You can follow the operation also on Marinetraffic:

FPSO BW Catcher is now in position in the North Sea, offshore UK:
The fore half of FPSO BW Catcher was built in Goseong. S.Korea and transported to Singapore for mating with the aft part, before being towed to the Catcher Field Offshore Norway on completion.
This video shows:
- World's heaviest transport by self-propelled modular transport (SPMT), with total 324 axles,
- Lunching by Floating dock ,
- Loading and transport from Korea to Singapore on HLV Osprey
Link: http://www.kctc.co.kr/eng/business/i...-logistics.asp
PS> I'm a little surprised they did not show clearly that the transporters set the cargo on blocks in the floating dock and moved off before tow-out and submerging.
PPS> I don't know much space was available at either side between the transporters and the blocks here, but I was involved in a loadout in Japan and discharging in Saudi Arabia of a 1500 m.t. module where the clearance on either side was 2".
The SPMT used in Saudi was especially impressive, since it had "balloon tiers" on all 64 axles and was able keep the bed level for roadless desert transport. It was nicknamed "Little Big Ben" and made 1.5 mph at max speed. (That was back in 1976)
The HLV used was very basic and only 2002 DWT, belonging to West India Line, West Palm Beach, Fl.
Not this one but a sister ship:

Multivessel vs culprit-only percutaneous coronary intervention among patients 65 years or older with acute myocardial infarction.
Journal Article
BACKGROUND: Older adults presenting with acute myocardial infarction (MI) often have multivessel coronary artery disease amenable to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), yet the risks of multivessel intervention may outweigh potential benefits in these patients. We sought to determine if nonculprit intervention during the index PCI is associated with better outcomes among older patients with acute MI and multivessel disease. METHODS: We examined 19,271 ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) and 31,361 non-STEMI (NSTEMI) patients 65years or older with multivessel disease in a linked CathPCI Registry-Medicare database, excluding patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting, left main disease, or cardiogenic shock. Using inverse probability-weighted propensity adjustment, we compared mortality between patients receiving culprit-only vs multivessel intervention during the index PCI procedure. RESULTS: Most older MI patients (91% STEMI and 74% NSTEMI) received culprit-only intervention during the index PCI. Among STEMI patients, multivessel intervention during the index PCI was associated with higher 30-day mortality (8.3% vs 6.3%, adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 1.36, 95% CI 1.14-1.62) than culprit-only intervention, and this trend persisted at 1year (13.8% vs 12.2%, adjusted HR 1.14, 95% CI 0.99-1.31). No significant mortality differences were observed among NSTEMI patients at 30days (3.4% vs 4.1%, adjusted HR 1.01, 95% CI 0.88-1.15) or at 1year (10.1% vs 10.8%, adjusted HR 0.99, 95% CI 0.91-1.08). CONCLUSIONS: Nonculprit intervention during the index PCI was associated with worse outcomes among STEMI patients, but not NSTEMI patients.

Bankya (Bulgarian: Банкя) is an upscale town and district[1] in western Bulgaria. It is administratively part of greater Sofia.
The district is famous for the mineral springs and baths that have been used for medicinal purposes for hundreds of years. In 1969 the village of Bankya was proclaimed a town, and in 1979 it became part of Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria.
Bankya is 7 km west of the city of Sofia. It is situated at the foot of Lyulin mountain at an average elevation of around 630–750 meters. The first people to populate the region of Bankya were Thracian tribes, over 2500 years ago. Archaeological excavations near the quarter of Ivanyane have unearthed remains of Ancient Roman buildings, walls and sewers, and bronze bracelets from the 4th–5th century. Bankya's economy depends mainly on tourism and balneological treatment.
Bankya was first mentioned as Banka in the 15th century. The former villages of Verdikal, Gradoman and Mihaylovo are part of the town itself, while Ivanyane and Klisura are part of the municipality. Bankya's name stems from the common noun bankya, "hot spring", a diminutive of banya ("baths").[2]
Former Prime Minister of Bulgaria Boyko Borisov is a native.
Bankya Peak on Graham Land in Antarctica is named after the town.

Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps arrests members of National Defense militia in Deir al-Zor
Deir al-Zor - SMART
On Saturday, the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps arrested members of the National Defense militia in the city of Albu Kamal, 120 kilometers southeast of Deir al-Zor, Eastern Syria.
The National Defense Militia is an armed militia that was formed by the Syrian government in 2012 to support the Syrian government forces' military operations in Syria. It is accused of committing war crimes against civilians.
Private sources reported to SMART that the Revolutionary Guard Corps detained more than five National Defense members and stipulated to move the members to the frontline with the Islamic State (IS) near the Euphrates River.
The sources added that the members were detained after they exchanged gunfire in the al-Dbeiah neighborhood in Albu Kamal due to disagreements over stolen objects.
On Nov. 21, 2017, the Syrian government forces and their allied militias gained control of Albu Kamal after the IS withdrew from it.

Comfort-driven advances, work difficulties, feasible nourishment rehearses, a quickly changing customer set, heightening the challenge, name it. Every one of these components (and the sky is the limit from there) has influenced the $833 billion eateries in recent years, not at all like some other time in the business' history.
The National Restaurant Association set up together a group of prognosticators to eagerly approach that very question for its "Café Industry 2030 Report." Their fundamental postulation: "The main steady will be the speed of progress, and the hyper-rivalry the eatery and foodservice industry will confront."
The meaning of eatery will grow. Hudson Riehle, SVP of the National Restaurant Association, as of late said, we're at a tipping point for the development of another plan of action for specific restaurateurs. He said that the essential worldview of what establishes a café in America today is evolving. These progressions will proceed and quicken all through the following ten years, driven by the proceeded with development in off-premise business. We're beginning to see looks at this through conveyance, just apparition kitchens, nourishment lobbies, and takeout-just models. These models, coincidentally, aren't multiplying under the surface, significant players like Starbucks, Chick-fil-An, and McDonald's are committing. As the report diagrams, Virtual kitchens could significantly change the diversifying model!
Likewise, as substantiated by Riehle, off-premise openings will drive a great part of the business' development. 60% of eatery suppers are presently devoured off-premises, and these off-premise channels are relied upon to make up around 80% of the business' development by 2025, as indicated by exploring from the National Restaurant Association. This move will influence everything from (conveyance agreeable) bundling to land site choice.

About Our Total T4 (Thyroxine) Test
Note: Fasting is not required for this test.
Our Total T4 Test measures the total levels of T4 (also known as thyroxine) in the blood. The T4 test is used to assess how the thyroid is functioning and to help detect imbalances with the thyroid, like hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. T4 is a hormone that plays a role in growth and metabolism. It is produced by Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH).
There are two kinds of T4 tests: Total T4 and Free T4 (FT4); this is the Total T4 test, meaning it measures both Free T4 (thyroxine that has not bonded to proteins in the blood) and T4 that is bonded to proteins in the blood (most T4 is bonded).
The Total T4 Test can help diagnose the follow thyroid issues:
- Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)
- Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)
- Hypopituitarism (occurs when the pituitary gland is underactive)
- Thyrotoxic Periodic Paralysis

|Quality and storage stability of provitamin A biofortified amahewu, a non-alcoholic cereal beverage
|Awobusuyi, Temitope Deborah
|Issue Date:
|Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is a major health problem in sub-Saharan Africa where maize is a staple food. Amahewu, a fermented non-alcoholic,maize-based beverage is a popular drink in southern Africa.The aim of this study is to produce a provitamin A enriched and acceptable amahewu, using provitamin A biofortified maize which can be used to alleviate VAD.
The optimal processing parameters for the production of amahewu using provitamin A-biofortified maize were determined. Amahewu samples were prepared with reference to a traditional method by boiling a mixture of maize meal and water (rato:1:7) at 90ᴼC, with occasional stirring, for 15 minutes. The resulting porridge was left to cool to approximately 40ᴼC, before inoculation and fermentation at 37oC. Processing parameters investigated were inoculum types (wheat bran (WB), maize malt (MM) and Lactobacillus mixed starter culture) and inoculum concentration (0.5,1 and 2% (w/w)) and varieties of provitamin A maize (PVAH 62 and PVAH 19). Wheat flour (at 2%) was used as reference inoculum to conform to the traditional practice. White maize amahewu samples processed in the same way as those of provitamin A-biofortified maize were used as references.
Provitamin A amahewu samples were produced using the optimized processing parameters and then analysed for nutrient composition, including carotenoids, protein, ash, amino acids, mineral profile and invitro protein digestibility. The consumer acceptability of amahewu samples was evaluated using regular consumers of amahewu (n= 54), who rated the acceptability of the samples on a 9-point hedonic scale (1:disliked extremely, 9:liked extremely). The storage stability of the provitamin A biofortified amahewu samples was assessed by subjecting the samples to different storage conditions: 4ᴼC, 25ᴼC and 37ᴼC. The microbiological quality of the stored samples was monitored by taking samples every day for a period of five days to analyse for the presence of aerobic and anaerobic bacterial spore formers, E.coli and moulds.
The provitamin A maize variety did not influence pH and Total titratable acidity (TTA) of amahewu samples during fermentation. As expected, there was a substantial drop in pH with fermentation time. After 24 hours, all the samples of amahewu, including those made with white maize, prepared using malted maize and wheat bran inocula reached a pH of 3.3-3.8 and TTA of 0.3-0.6, which were within acceptable range for amahewu. The addition of a starter culture substantially reduced fermentation time, from 24 to six hours. The inoculum of WB and MM, respectively, at a concentration of 0.5%, with or without starter culture (5%), were found to be suitable for the production of amahewu using provitamin A biofortified maize.
The total provitamin A content of amahewu samples, produced using optimised parameters (i.e one variety of provitamin A biofortified maize, 0.5% MM, WB with or without starter culture), ranged from 3.3-3.8 μg/g (DW). The percentage retention of total provitamin A ranged from 79%- 90% (DW). The lowest percentage retention was observed in products fermented with the addition of starter culture. The gross energy of the amahewu samples was approx. 20 MJ/kg. There was a slight increase in the lysine content of amahewu after fermentation. The protein digestibility (approx. 91%) of amahewu samples was slightly higher than that of raw provitamin A maize (86%). Amahewu processed using starter cultures had a slightly higher iron content than those processed without a starter culture.
Consumer acceptability data showed that amahewu samples made with provitamin A biofortified maize were slightly more acceptable (average rating for overall acceptability was 7.0 ± 1.2), compared to those made with white maize (average rating for overall acceptability was 6.4 ± 0.8). Principal component analysis (PCA) of Amahewu sensory data showed that 71% of variation was due to maize types and 18% of variation may be due to the inoculum used during fermentation. The use of a starter culture improves the taste and aroma acceptability of amahewu. Segmentation of consumers based on overall linking for amahewu revealed three clusters, named A, B and C. Cluster A consisted of most consumers (43%), who liked amahewu moderately. About 60% of these consumers were females. Cluster B consisted of most of the consumers (31%) who were undecided about their liking for the product. Approximately 52% of the consumers in this cluster were female.
Cluster C consisted of consumers (26%) who liked amahewu very much. Sixty-four percent (64%) of these consumers were female. It appeared that gender may have some influence on overall liking for amahewu, as cluster B, consisting of undecided consumers, had more male consumers compared to clusters A and C. Age did not seem to be significantly associated with the liking of amahewu.
Provitamin A biofortified amahewu samples stored under refrigerated conditions (4ᴼC) had better microbiological quality compared to those stored at 25ᴼC and 37ᴼC. Refrigeration effectively maintains the microbiological quality of amahewu for about three of days.
Provitamin A biofortified maize can be used to produce β-carotene enriched amahewu that is acceptable to consumers following the processing method that is traditionally employed for white amahewu at both domestic and commercial level. Provitamin A biofortified amahewu has the potential to make a significant contribution towards alleviating VAD among rural communities, who are the most vulnerable to VAD.

I am a single father who is currently working and paying child support. I dropped out of school due to the death of my father in 2014; I had 19 credit hours left before receiving my Bachelors Degree in Mass Communications. I currently work as a teacher assistant, and do not make enough money at my current educational level. Finishing my degree would give me the opportunity to work towards getting a provisional teaching certificate, while studying for the teacher's exam. I would greatly appreciate any assistance that I can.

It is really hard to find a job these days without some form of graduate education, and Virginia Commonwealth University is the institution that fits different careers that I am considering. Some students have a specific career in mind when applying for colleges, but many have little idea of the specific career they would like to pursue when graduated. Right now, I consider either a career in psychology or dentistry. To help me to make up my mind, I decide to double major in dental and psychology so that both options remain open. I hope that by deepening the two topics, I will understand what really interests me and where I can see myself in the future.

Let us hope that anyone keen on buying men's designer clothes would never, ever dream of going out in public wearing the unutterably hideous combination of socks and sandals. Seemingly typifying the unforgivable obliviousness to good fashion and style, this disastrous combination is only one of a number of fashion mistakes which you should aim to avoid this summer.
There's little point buying men's designer clothes if you're then going to wear them or combine them in a way which screams of disaster. So let's look at some of the most popular, or at least common fashion faux pas, along with understanding why they're wrong, and what you should do to make sure that your designer clothing works in the way the designers always intended.
For quite a number of people it seems that the rule of fashion styling is to buy good quality fashion clothing, but in fact this is only half the story. Wearing good fashionable clothing is one thing, but wearing it in a combination which works is quite another. It's like looking at a tangerine coloured Lotus Elise, deciding that the colour is stylish, and then painting your dog the same colour. Taking something which works and coupling it in a way which doesn't just makes you stand out for all the wrong reasons.
This is certainly true with socks and sandals. Sandals are stylish, fashionable and very practical in hot weather. Your socks may well be good quality and stylish, but pair the two together and it's enough to make you wince. Or at least it should do. The main reason it looks so awful is because it's the fashion equivalent of an oxymoron. You wear sandals to allow your feet to be exposed, to air, to breathe and to feel cooler, and you wear socks to cover your feet up and keep them warm. You wouldn't wear a thick jumper with shorts (no, please, you wouldn't, would you?), so why do the equivalent with socks and sandals?
The simple rule is this - if you wear sandals, so not wear socks. If you want to wear socks in summer then at least wear the invisible socks which are cut just below the top of the shoe, so that your ankles are visible. Hooray for mankles - celebrate in your bony whiteness this summer, you'll look a lot better, believe me.
The next poor combination of men's designer clothes is the jumper tied around the waist. Long ago when you were at school you were probably encouraged to do this, because children run about, and jumpers easily get lost. Yes, the British weather is such that one moment you may need a jumper, and the next you're reaching for the sun lotion, but if you have a jumper, and the weather changes enough for you to want to remove it, do not tie it around your waist. This makes you look short, with a bulging middle, and a little like you're on a school trip.
Instead put your jumper over your shoulders, with the arms tied loosely at the front. Don't knot them - just keep it loose. Unless you're going to start doing the same sort of cavorting about you did when you were nine, you should find that your jumper remains where it is, and looks very stylish into the bargain.
The third problem which people sometimes have with men's designer clothes is accessorising. The problem is that with the weather getting warmer the amount of clothing you wear reduces, and this can make your look seem a little bare. But too many people make the mistake of overcompensating for this by wearing far too many accessories. You really don't want to look as though you walked into a jewellery store wearing super glue, so basically take the advice that you should only be wearing one necklace, and no more than five accessories at most. This includes things such as necklaces, badges, neckties and bags. With a little care and thought men's designer clothes will help you stand out for all the right reasons, but it's vital to avoid these common mistakes or you'll end up standing out for all the wrong reasons.
