Andrology (men's medicine) is a field of men's health, especially genital diseases. It was established in Hungary in the early forties and was included in the field of urology. Due to growing demand, in 2004 it became an independent profession in Hungary. Andrology services are available at the LIFE Health Center.
Areas of andrology covered at LIFE include: male infertility, erectile and ejaculatory disorders, male menopause, male contraception and male infertility.
Relationships can be difficult if there is no pregnancy within a year for a noral couple with an active sex life without using contraceptive methods.
In Europe, 15% of relationships do not lead to pregnancy within a year. In 50% of childless relationships, the male is infertile.
The most common causes of male infertility are: unknown (30-40% of cases), absence of testes (acquired or congenital), genetic issues (numerical or structural differences in chromosomes), genital inflammatory diseases, tumors, systemic diseases (e.g., kidney failure), cancer treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy), sexual dysfunctions (ejaculation and erection), hormonal disorders and lifestyle factors (e.g., alcohol, nicotine, drugs).
Infertility Examinations
There are several steps to investigate men who are infertile. It begins with a questioning of the patient's health background (previous illnesses, surgeries, treatments, lifestyle factors, environmental damage) and then a physical examination of the genitals. It is important to carry out a sperm examination (semen examination under a microscope), which is optimal if no ejaculation has taken place 3 to 5 days before the test. During semen testing, the quantity, texture, number of sperms, movement and structure of the semen will be examined. If necessary, additional tests will be performed, such as: hormonal, ultrasound, genetic, immunochemical and biochemical tests.
There are cases where the cause of infertility cannot be clarified and targeted, in which case some form of artificial insemination comes into play, depending on the quality of the sperm.

Paneer Kulche at Rajiv Chowk, Gurgaon
This was another accidental found, had gone for some work in District court, actually if you live in a rented accommodation and want to save some money, you need to visit this place every year. The alternative is; you can connect with property dealer, anyway, I was lucky to find this place in 2011 and since then I have been a regular visitor.
The stall is run by three generations, majority of the times you will a young man running it and at times, the grand old man with his grandson. From the looks, it wont attract you so keep that in mind. They serve two three varieties of Chole Kulche; Paneer Kulche, Dhania Kulche and Plan Kulche and actually there is no difference between Dhania and Plain Kulcha and at times stall owner would hesitate to discuss about it.
There is no space to sit or they offer any shadow, its on the move. The strategy is to have customer move immediately after eating, customer is good, specially from dadajee, he is always smiling, the young boy is very aggressive 🙂
Preparation time is not more than 2-3 minutes, everything is ready, the Kulche just need a layer of butter on Hot Tawa and simultaneously the Chola is prepared. I didn't find the Chola to be exciting, but the Paneer Kulche takes all the attention.
Probably summers are not the best time to try, you will be sweating and fighting heat and no time to enjoy your Paneer Kulche but for a foodies, these are small issues. The final product is below, Paneer Kulche will cost you Rs 40/- and Plain Kulche Rs 30/-, enough for your breakfast.
How To Reach – Its a straight road from IFFCO Chowk, the outlet is right on the Rajiv Chowk. Right side, as soon as you turn towards Mini Secretariat.
The Burger & Gol Gappa Point, Sec-15 (Gurgaon)
Probably majority of Gurgaonties know about it but for me its a new discovery, actually the discovery happened during house hunting last year. In search of house, it was quite obvious to get hungry and these two outlets turned out to be a perfect place. Although, I didn't get house in that locality but I have been frequent visitor to this place now, reason quite obvious, The Burger Point & Gol Gappa!
The Burger Point – Probably one of the best available in Gurgaon, I would exclude the international brands here although from quality perspective, its nothing less. They use have all those the ingredient and paste which is found in top quality burger and its always added with fresh vegetables as the layer.
I usually settle down with Chicken Maharajaha, its big…really big!
The price is as decent, I would rather term it cheap, Chicken Maharaja is the costliest one here at Rs 75/-, they have the Maharaja option in Veg as well. I still haven't tried everything, have huge collection in Burger and Sandwiches!..More to come..
Gol Gappa – Also known as Paani Puri, Puchkaa and by many other names, I just love to call it 'Gol Gapp'a.
This Gol Gappa was found accidentally, I have this habit of trying it at every possible location and it lead to this found. I will be little biased when I speak about this, in NCR you would find Suzee Gol Gappa taking central stage and I cant simple understand this. Suzee Gol Gappa is completely NO for me, this may be because I was brought up in UP and their is nothing as Suzee Gol Gappa, its always Aatta (Wheat).
The presentation is exactly what you see on the streets of Kolkatta, unique for Gurgaon & NCR. The puchka isonly available in Aataa (wheat) flour and the water is completely made from Imlee (Tamarind), pure authentic touch. Priced at Rs 20/- for 5 pieces.
How To Reach: Direction from IFFCO Chowk to Sec.15 Market

Sqoop import fails on empty table
We have a batch job that looks into Teradata table and offloads delta records to HIVE based on a timestamp column.
We havent used SQOOP incremental mode, Instead we have setup views on top of teradata tables and a joined to a control table to get the delta records.
Once the offload is completed, We update the control table with MAX of timestamp record.
However, We are stuck with below issue: Import failed: com.teradata.connector.common.exception.ConnectorException: Input source table is empty
Could someone assist on the same?

NCBI Description of CBL
|This gene is a proto-oncogene that encodes a RING finger E3 ubiquitin ligase. The encoded protein is one of the enzymes required for targeting substrates for degradation by the proteasome. This protein mediates the transfer of ubiquitin from ubiquitin conjugating enzymes (E2) to specific substrates. This protein also contains an N-terminal phosphotyrosine binding domain that allows it to interact with numerous tyrosine-phosphorylated substrates and target them for proteasome degradation. As such it functions as a negative regulator of many signal transduction pathways. This gene has been found to be mutated or translocated in many cancers including acute myeloid leukaemia. Mutations in this gene are also the cause of Noonan syndrome-like disorder. Sequence Note: This RefSeq record was created from transcript and genomic sequence data to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on transcript alignments.

Travel Diary Of A Non-employed Man…
Well, for those who know me, it is rather difficult for them not be startled as they read the title of this blog 🙂
It is for the very first time in my nine-year long career that I am not working! Well, read it this way – for the very first time in my life, I have taken a long break whilst moving between jobs… and I am really not complaining, for a change, you see…
While the above picture is taken at a virgin beach at Pondicherry, where I am presently stationed, my travel started with driving Guy (my new jeep) to Lucknow. 11 hours straight! I took NH-2, and covered towns of Agra, Etawah and Kanpur to reach Lucknow. And boy, what a ride it was! With rains lashing Guy for most part of the journey, this is how it looked the next morning – the true Jeeper's Jeep:
Lucknow was a totally 'food-festival-holiday' for me – I just refused to dine at home! Zeeshan ke Shaami, Galauti Kabab aur Boti-Paraathe, Sadar ke Gol-gappe, Naushein-Jahan ki Dum-biryani, Udaigunj ke Salim ki Gosht-biryani, Chowk waale Tiwariji ki Thandai – you name it and I had it! And despite being there for four full days and even with 'highway on my plate' style of travel, I still missed a lot – couldn't eat Idris ki Imli ke Koyle waali Biryani, Ratti ke Khaste, Chaudhary Sweets ki Ras-Malai, Madras Mess ka Masala Dosa… all now parked in the menu now for the next time. Insha Allah!
Lord knows, I am a biker at heart, love riding True – my Royal Enfield Classic. And to me, what Rishad Saam Mehta, a travel writer and Bullet enthusiast, is absolutely right when he calls it "a meditative motorcycle — on a Bullet on the highway, you feel alone and happy…"
And yet, you will have to trust me, driving a Thar comes closest next to it. I was alone, and happy, while driving Guy for all those long hours. Nothing between me and silence… no phone, no email… sheer bliss of belonging to the road! An absolute marvel of a machine, I drove it for 10 hours non-stop on my journey back to Gurgaon! Only to fly off to Pondicherry…
As my wife Neha calls it, I am thoroughly enjoying my 'currently non-employed' status to the hilt! Does my grin in the picture above not say that? 🙂
Detailed travelogs will follow on Ghumakkar.com soon. I now sign off and go back to bliss!

Enjoy your well deserved break..must say I feel jealous 🙂
If I have to choose to learn just 1 thing from you, Sir, that would be – How to live life..
Sir, this is what we call life full of enjoyments, excitements and journey of adventures…
Every time when I meet some new in my life there is always something about you that I share with my new friends and colleagues and they feels that I am fortunate enough to work under such great personality who always have something which makes you learn in your life…
haha. Brilliant. And this is from someone who is in same job for last 12+ years. And to think of it, the breaks in past jobs have not been more than a week.
Look forward to your logs RRG. Make the most of un-employed-status 🙂
This is truly inspiring, the second of its kind…the first from an equally awe-inspiring boss who spoke about taking a "plunge" and finally did so (you know who Im talking about !)…and then it's you ! What's with the new fad, I wonder 😉
Everyone deserves a break from what seems to be their best life too. You need to take time out for yourself. Sometimes solitude is too peaceful. Thanks for this lovely share. I particularly loved the Guy. I am eager to take a break myself.

SummaryFour catastrophic models of destruction of polymer and composite materials exposed by uniaxial strain or compression based on phenomenological study of the process are suggested as follows: exponential, exponentially square, linear and square models. For all models dependence of deformation on strain is obtained. Calculated data and experimental data are compared and agreed..
- S.A. Zelepugin, V.B. Nikulichev, O.V. Ivanova. Simulation of solid-phase chemical reactions in porous mixtures under shock wave loading .
SummaryA phenomenological zeroth-order kinetic model for computations of shock-induced solid-state chemical reactions in porous mixtures is proposed. The kinetic relationships are characterized by a constant rate of chemical transformations under shock wave loading. The effect of component dispersity on the reaction rate is taken into account by varying the constants that enter the kinetic model. It is obtained impact velocities when the reaction in the calculated element proceeds completely. It is found out the conditions when the chemical-reaction rate gives rise to flow regimes in which the unloading wave almost stops.

What is a Dental Implant
Dental implants are anchors for permanent replacement teeth that are made out of titanium and other body friendly materials. They are anchored into the upper or lower jawbone, replacing the tooth's original root structure. The jaw actually grows around the dental implants integrating them into the structure. Once established, dental implants are undetectable to the patient, allowing them to return to a fully normal life.
Once the dental implants are integrated with the jaw, a replacement tooth, or group of teeth are custom made to attach to the implant. The teeth are shaped and colored using high tech methods to create near undetectable substitution for natural teeth. With dental implants to attach to, these replacements are more stable and comfortable than traditional dentures and other dental devices. After the replacement teeth are in place, patients can bite and chew normally, just as they would with natural, healthy teeth
Dental Implants And Jaw Health
After teeth are lost, a reduction in bone strength can happen. It can make you look older, and pain and discomfort can prevent normal activity. Your body recognizes and responds to the missing tooth. Fewer nutrients are used to support bone health in that area and are then redirected to other areas, making the problem even more severe.
The titanium anchor of a dental implant fills the area left by the natural tooth's root. This stimulates the jaw and cues the body to continue supplying the needed nutrients to maintain bone health. This helps to eliminate the risk of the jawbone deteriorating, which can lead to expensive and painful surgeries. Dental implants are the only prosthetic help prevent this.
Let us Handle Your Dental Implants
While dental implants work wonderfully for many patients, it is not the best choice for every individual. The surgical nature of dental implants makes it essential to determine if this procedure is appropriate for you beforehand.

Builders and architects reveal what's changing, or not, in their quest to deliver a dependable water, air, and thermal barrier
The tug-of-war between "We've always done it this way," and trying new building materials or construction methods probably is most active in the building-envelope category. Manufacturers continue to introduce new products and techniques for preventing air and water infiltration to a builder audience hungry for what the latest in construction science has to offer but wary of being guinea pigs, for fear of failure and expensive callbacks.
Fifty-seven percent of builders and architects in Professional Builder's survey indicated that, during the past two years, they haven't changed the building-envelope materials or construction methods they use or specify. Among those that have made a change, 27.2 percent are still assessing the outcome and 14 percent that did try something new have been pleased with the results. However, 48 percent of survey participants say that, compared with two years ago, they have dedicated more resources to attaining tighter building shells, and 43 percent have assigned more time, labor, and material to caulking and gasketing systems for sealing their homes.
Demand for building-envelope innovation is not consumer driven, as those considerations are behind the wall and out of sight for homebuyers—that is, until their home has a leak. Just 26.9 percent of participants agreed that building-envelope construction is among their customers' top considerations.

My week: Trevor Horn, record producer
Inside the day-to-day life of Britain's cultural movers and shakers
I'm organising a show for the Prince's Trust at Wembley Arena in November, featuring a lot of the artists I've worked with over 25 years in the music business.
We've got some great acts —
After lunch, cooked by Marco, our studio chef, I met up with Frankie Goes to Hollywood, who'll be playing together for the first time in 20 years. I was reminded of how much I always liked their Scouse sense of humour.
In the morning, my wife, Jill, and I did an OK! magazine photo-shoot at Hook End, our residential studio in Oxfordshire. We live in St John's Wood in north-west London, but I love spending time at Hook End because it's right in the countryside. It was exactly how you'd imagine an OK! shoot to be —
We went on a recce to Wembley Arena. There are only just enough dressing rooms for the acts, so working out where to put everyone is a real logistical puzzle. I've told them to put me in the toilets if it gets tight. In the evening, I rehearsed with the Frankies. I had a go at singing Two Tribes, which was a laugh. They said, "You've always wanted to do that, haven't you?" I said, "Yeah, of course I have!"
The day began with a big technical meeting at my Notting Hill studio. I really wanted the show to feature explosions — I like those things that shoot out fairy-dust — but I was told "no pyrotechnics".
I love our bit of Notting Hill, it reminds me of New York in a strange sort of way. It's changed a lot over the 20 years we've been here: until about 1990 it was a no-go zone for traffic wardens, so you could park wherever you wanted. Then crack cocaine came down on the area like a ton of bricks and altered the whole atmosphere.
I always get in early on a Friday because I want to get everything done by about 6.30. I put up a great big noticeboard with a list of artists and the songs they're going to play, trying to work out which order they should go on stage.

Tim Caverly and his Allagash Tails Coming to Taylor
Tim Caverly has spent his life in Maine's outdoors. Growing up shadowing his father, who was a fire warden with the Maine Forest Service,and his brother, a ranger in Baxter State Park, it was natural for him to seek a career in the outdoors.
Tim will share his experiences in the outdoors Sunday, Feb.9 at 2 p.m. at Taylor Community's Woodside Building, 435 Union Ave. The event is free and open to the public, but please RSVP by calling 524-5600, Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. or email, email@example.com.
Originally from Skowhegan, Maine, Tim began working as a ranger at Sebago Lake State Park while in college.

In an Australian first, all the hair shaved and snipped from the World's Greatest Shave events around the country will be collected by Sustainable Salons Australia and repurposed into the Hair Boom Project and local composting solutions.
Plus, we'll collect all ponytails longer than 20cm to donate to charitable organisations that create wigs for those who have lost their own hair due to medically-induced hairloss.
"Hair is such a powerful resource," says SSA MD and Co-founder Paul Frasca. "Not only does it have amazing repurposing opportunities, but it's unlimited!
"In a world where our natural resources are in steady decline, why are we dumping this valuable commodity in landfill?
"We're on a mission to reverse this, and that's why we're hugely excited to be partnering with World's Greatest Shave."
The Leukaemia Foundation is this year celebrating the World's Greatest Shave's 20th anniversary, a huge milestone having raised more than $200 million so far! During this time, upwards of 270,000 people have been diagnosed with blood cancer, making this event only more crucial each year; all the money raised supports families facing this terrible disease and funds vital research as they push towards a cure.
"Things have come a long way since World's Greatest Shave began 20 years ago," says Dave Simms from the Leukaemia Foundation.
"Now, all the extraordinary Aussies who shave their hair are not only helping people affected by blood cancer but also reducing our environmental impact. It's a win for Aussies and a win for the environment!
"It's incredible to think your hair could end up floating on the Great Barrier Reef blocking an oil spill or made into a wig to help those who haven't lost their hair by choice."
SSA will also collect all empty cans of coloured hairspray, which will be diverted away from landfill and back into recycled resources.
Are you a Sustainable Salon? Does your salon already host a World's Greatest Shave event? Do you have a staff member keen to shave their crowning glory and raise funds? Sign up your salon and join the Sustainable Salons Australia Super Team… let's see how much our network can raise together.

The other factors to consider with this diet are more concerned with your current weight. Lower calorie intake for most people will equal less fat. This is because, unless you're a full-time athlete, most people do not need the number of calories they consume each day. They don't burn that energy away, and as a result, it turns into fat. The 5:2 diet promotes lower calories on a weekly basis and high nutrient foods during the fasting days.
Drink Bulletproof Coffee: Skipping breakfast isn't easy for everyone. If an 18-hour fast sounds daunting, never fear: there's a hack for that. Instead of skipping breakfast, you replace it with a cup of fatty, satisfying Bulletproof Coffee. This simple hack keeps you in a fasted state and keeps the "hangries" away, while nourishing your body with good fats.

You'll spike your blood sugar when you eat. If you're fasting on a high-carb diet and you've powered through the cravings and lack of energy from low blood sugar, there's a good chance you'll eat a ton of carbs when you feast. You want to eat big meals when you fast to make sure you're getting enough calories, but all those excess carbs in one go will spike your blood sugar in the opposite direction, from low to high.[14] High blood sugar causes fatigue and lack of focus. That raging hunger will also cause you to binge unnecessarily, and whatever carbs you don't use will get stored as fat.
^ Bhikkhu, Thanissaro (5 June 2010). "Questions of Skill". Access to Insight. John T. Bullitt. Retrieved 7 June 2011. Each time you're about to act, ask yourself: "This action that I want to do: would it lead to self-harm, to the harm of others, or to both? Is it an unskillful action, with painful consequences, painful results?" If you foresee harm, don't follow through with it.
So wrong and inaccurate in so many levels I really don't know where to start in trying to correct such an ignorant statement. I don't know if you are being sarcastic in this post… 1st of all it is not 'simple' in any way to avoid bad foods-our primitive brain cries out for them and when we diet it cries out louder. That is the big reason dieting is soo hard to stick to, it's putting the body and mind under very unnatural conditions.
In section 106, of the same book, Yudhishthira says, "the disposition (of observing fasts) is seen in all orders of men including the very Mlechchhas..... What is the fruit that is earned in this world by the man that observes fasts?" Bheeshma replies that he had asked Angiras "the very same question that thou has asked me today." The illustrious Angiras says Brahmans and kshatriya should fast for three nights at a stretch is the maximum. A person who fasts on the eight and fourteenth day of the dark fortnight "becomes freed from maladies of all kinds and possessed of great energy."
In the religions of ancient peoples and civilizations, fasting was a practice to prepare persons, especially priests and priestesses, to approach the deities. In the Hellenistic mystery religions (e.g., the healing cult of the god Asclepius), the gods were thought to reveal their divine teachings in dreams and visions only after a fast that required the total dedication of the devotees. Among the pre-Columbian peoples of Peru, fasting often was one of the requirements for penance after an individual had confessed sins before a priest. In many cultures the practice was considered a means to assuage an angered deity or to aid in resurrecting a deity who was believed to have died (e.g., a god of vegetation).
The fasting phase of The Warrior Diet is really more about "undereating." During the 20-hour fast, you can eat a few servings of raw fruit or veggies, fresh juice, and a few servings of protein, if desired. This is supposed to maximize the Sympathetic Nervous System's "fight or flight" response, which is intended to promote alertness, boost energy, and stimulate fat burning.
There were [no statistical] differences between the low- and high- [meal frequency] groups for adiposity indices, appetite measurements or gut peptides (peptide YY and ghrelin) either before or after the intervention. We conclude that increasing meal frequency does not promote greater body weight loss under the conditions described in the present study.
If you're eating processed foods and potato chips, it's unlikely you'll reap the benefits of fasting. If that's you, I encourage you to examine your diet before trying a fast. But if you practice fasting and stick to a mostly whole food diet, rich in fruits, veggies, lean proteins, healthy fats and raw dairy, you will see changes — and those occasional splurges on chocolate or cheese won't have as big of an impact as they might if you were on a calorie-restrictive diet.
The purpose in fasting for God is not about giving up food; it is about removing the obstacles that get in the way of fully focusing on Him. Human beings are conditioned to eat, usually 3 meals a day and snacks. We are so focused on what we are going to eat next, we leave very little room in our minds for thinking about God. Removing the food will free up your mind so you can meditate on God.
Once or twice per week you can have a treat. Remember you will have 600-1000 calories to work with in the main meal. This should make it pretty easy to enjoy some of your favorite foods or go out to a restaurant with friends/family. Just make sure to not go over the calorie budget for the day. If you do end up going over the calorie budget for the day then you can compensate by slightly reducing calories the following days.
When you fast, be sure your devotion is to God. It is not necessary to tell the whole world what you are doing. If your fast is for man's praise and not God's approval, then your fast is in vain. Matthew 6:16-17 says, "When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
Fasting is obligatory for every Muslim one month in the year, during Ramadhan. Each day, the fast begins at sun-rise and ends at sunset. During this time Muslims are asked to remember those who are less fortunate than themselves as well as bringing them closer to God. This also helps to give the digestive system a break. Non obligatory fasts are two days a week as well as the middle of the month, as recommended by the Prophet Muhammad.
Prepare yourself to encounter God through fasting. When you realize that your intimacy with God is superficial and you long to experience Him more directly, respond by fasting, and you may find that you encounter God more deeply and powerfully. Through fasting, render yourself freer to hear from God through prayer than you may be when you're not fasting. Let your love for God motivate you to reach out to Him through fasting.
^ McKnight, Scot (2010). Fasting: The Ancient Practices. Thomas Nelson. p. 88. ISBN 9781418576134. John Wesley, in his Journal, wrote on Friday, August 17, 1739, that "many of our society met, as we had appointed, at one in the afternoon and agreed that all members of our society should obey the Church to which we belong by observing 'all Fridays in the year' as 'days of fasting and abstinence.'
2) A new desire for God. When we acknowledge through fasting that we need God to live, and to live more abundantly, we can begin to desire God in a new way. When we realize we need God more than we need food, we can start to understand what the Psalmist meant when he wrote, "Like the deer that pants after water, my soul longs for You." God, the sustainer of all life, wants nothing more than a closer connection with us, and through fasting we can quench that new desire for more of Him in our lives.
Fasting is practiced by lay Buddhists during times of intensive meditation, such as during a retreat. During periods of fasting, followers completely stray away from eating animal products although, they do allow consumption of milk. Furthermore, they also avoid eating processed foods and the five pungent foods which are; garlic, welsh onion, garlic chives, asana, leeks.[26] The Middle Path refers to avoiding extremes of indulgence on the one hand and self-mortification on the other. Prior to attaining Buddhahood, prince Siddhartha practiced a short regime of strict austerity and following years of serenity meditation under two teachers which he consumed very little food. These austerities with five other ascetics did not lead to progress in meditation, liberation (moksha), or the ultimate goal of nirvana. Henceforth, prince Siddhartha practiced moderation in eating which he later advocated for his disciples. However, on Uposatha days (roughly once a week) lay Buddhists are instructed to observe the eight precepts[27] which includes refraining from eating after noon until the following morning.[27] The eight precepts closely resemble the ten vinaya precepts for novice monks and nuns. The novice precepts are the same with an added prohibition against handling money.[28]

February is ending with a whimper rather than a bang. Market pricing for a Fed hike in March continues to flirt with 5-6bp while in the UK the market seems to be waiting for the government to trigger Article 50. Meanwhile the ECB is likely to stay in a holding pattern until it knows what kind of French president it will be facing come 7th May.
US ISM, income, spending, and inflation data out on 1 March could however potentially move the needle on financial markets.
I continue to expect a 25bp Fed hike in March but acknowledge that this is a low conviction forecast at this stage.
In France, the latest headline-grabber is that veteran centrist politician François Bayrou announced on the evening of 22ndFebruary that he had opted not to run for the presidency. He will instead lend his support to Emmanuel Macron, the independent centrist candidate of the En Marche! Movement.
This should have come as little surprise but markets still reacted positively, with in particular French bond yields sliding lower.
The justification for this admittedly modest market reaction is that Bayrou's electorate will now transfer its votes to Macron, in turn increasing the probability of Macron coming ahead of François Fillon and making it to a second round run-off against Marine Le Pen.
There is some logic to this argument, as recent polls suggest. Moreover, the relatively inexperienced Macron may benefit from Bayrou's familiarity with the ins-and-outs of campaigning gained over three previous presidential election bids.
But there is also some evidence that Fillon, the Republican candidate, may benefit from Bayrou's decision and it is simply too early to predict with confidence whether Macron or Fillon will make it to the second round.
The bottom line is that Bayrou's decision has increased the odds of Macron and to a lesser extent Fillon making it to the second round and further decreased the odds of Le Pen winning in the second round against either Macron or Fillon.
Meanwhile, time is running out for Socialist Party candidate Benoit Hamon to secure a second round place.

Our home, at times, feels like it has a revolving door. Whether it's friends coming over for a coffee, family coming over for dinner, or play dates for my children, we seem to always have someone over or about to have someone over. This means two things: 1. my first floor has to be clean, almost always (which is exhausting) and 2. I have to have something to offer all of these people when they're over. Please don't read this as complaining, I love being busy and I love being social, so it's a good combination. I made these cookies for a get together we were having at our house, which got cancelled, so we have a whole bunch of cookies (about 4 dozen) that we are slowly working our way through. These are good with traditional semi-sweet chocolate chips and if you don't want nuts or coconut, just increase the chocolate chips to 1 1/2 cups or use any other combination of your favourite ingredients! The real key to these chewy chocolate chunk, hazelnut and coconut cookies is not baking them too long and storing them promptly once they're cool. These two steps will ensure that the cookies stay chewy. The other key to these cookies is sharing them. This recipe makes so many cookies that you can give away dozens at a time and still have leftovers for yourself.
- 2/3 cup melted butter
- 2 cups lightly packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp hot water
- 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup dark chocolate chunks
- 1/2 cup nuts of your choice (I used hazelnuts)
- 1/2 cup coconut
- Preheat your oven to 375F/190C.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs and hot water.
- In a large measuring cup, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix into the butter mixture until just incorporated.
- Add in your chocolate chunks, nuts and coconut. Mix just until evenly distributed.
- Using a small cookie scoop or 2 tablespoons, drop small amounts of dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until just lightly golden brown – over cooking these cookies will take away their chewiness.
- This recipe make a LOT of cookies (about 4 dozen), so make sure you either have a lot of guests coming over or can take them with you somewhere for fear of leaving them in the house!

Italian lizards invade Greenwich
GREENWICH — Non-native Italian wall lizards have begun to appear in town, according to a Harvard researcher who says they may be riding the Metro-North train into Fairfield County.
Harvard post-doctoral fellow Colin Donihue has been studying their migration and plans to return to Greenwich next month as he tries to solve the mystery of how they got here and how they are surviving in a much cooler climate than they are used to.
There has been a population living in Bronx, N.Y., since a pet truck crashed and led to their escape to the urban wild in the 1960s, Donihue said. He it's possible this population has spread north using the Metro-North train lines.
"It's a really nice expressway for them to travel distances," Donihue said. "Those little guys move pretty fast."
He said the loosely packed stone beneath the tracks provides good shelter from predators and easy access to backyards full of insects and warm laundry ducts.
"It seems these little Italian wall lizards are really making use of human heat sources in order to make it through the winter," Donihue said. "It's also great habitat to hide from predators."
Another explanation could be that an area resident went on vacation to Italy, where they are very common, and brought some back to live in their garden, Donihue said. He said there are populations in Kansas and Los Angeles that are known to have started that way.
He has sent tissue samples to geneticists at the University of California-Merced to see if the lizards, which are harmless to humans and pets, found in Greenwich are related to those from the Bronx.
Donihue is trying to find more specific information about the migration patterns of these lizards. He has considered trying to put GPS chips on them like people do with their pets or larger wild animals, but all the current models are too large for the small, 4-inch body of the lizard to handle.
He has seen some backyards with as many as 15 to 20 lizards, which leads him to suspect the entire Greenwich population is in the hundreds, but somewhere shy of 1,000. Donihue said he first needs to figure out how far from the tracks they have strayed to determine a more accurate population estimate.
He is also trying to determine if they have reached beyond Greenwich's border into Stamford.
Donihue's research is focused on how animals adapt to live in human landscapes. He has been studying a sister species of the lizard in Greece for the past five years, and is interested in discerning how the Connecticut lizards are changing to thrive in such a different environment.
"It would feed into this bigger question of what makes an invasive species successful, and how can we understand how those species are evolving to live side-by-side with humans," Donihue said.
He believes their metabolisms are slowing down and becoming better regulated than their relatives in Greece and Italy to adjust to the cold, but he doesn't think that's the only thing allowing them to expand this way.
"We're starting to talk about animal personalities, so maybe these lizards right at the invasion front are more risk-taking or interested in trying out new types of food or exploring different areas," Donihue said.
The only lizard native to Connecticut is a skink, which has a blue tail that is much longer than the Italian invaders, which tend to be greener in color.
Greg Watkins-Colwell, collection manager at the Peabody Natural History Museum at Yale University, has worked in the field locating lizards with Donihue.
He said Donihue first learned about the lizards when someone posted a picture of one on Facebook.
"It's one of those odd things where social media actually made a difference," Watkins-Colwell said.
Watkins-Colwell isn't sure how far north the species will reach, but the rest of the communities along Metro-North could be fair game.
"It kind of makes sense for a lizard that is adapted to live on stone walls and archeologic ruins to use what is effectively a pile of rock as its habitat," he said. "It's interesting from a conservation perspective, because you can predict where they will be. You can start watching for them up the line."
If you have seen a wall lizard, contact Donihue at email@example.com.

Harry T. Burleigh
HENRY (HARRY) THACKER BURLEIGH (1866 – 1949) was a composer, arranger and soloist who popularized African-American spirituals and bridged cultures and races by using them as inspiration for new music.
Born in Erie, Pa., Mr. Burleigh received his earliest musical training from his mother and musical influence from his maternal grandfather, a former slave who sang plantation songs to his grandson while doing his work. In 1885, at age 18, Mr. Burleigh joined the first vested choir of men and boys at St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral, which performed at weddings, funerals and church services. To add to the family income, he also began singing with the choir of the First Presbyterian Church and that of the Reformed Jewish Temple.
Mr. Burleigh moved to New York City in 1892 at age 26 — history records he made the trip with between $25 and $30 and a letter of recommendation — to audition for the National Conservatory of Music, where his teachers included Temple Emanu-El Choral Director Max Spicker. While at the conservatory, Mr. Burleigh befriended composer Antonín Dvorák, who was the school's new director, and it was Mr. Burleigh's association with Mr. Dvorák that proved the greatest influence on Mr. Burleigh's career as a composer.
It is said that Mr. Burleigh spent countless hours singing for Mr. Dvorák the African-American spirituals taught to him by his grandfather, and it was Mr. Dvorák who encouraged Mr. Burleigh to preserve those melodies in his own compositions. It also is said that Mr. Dvorák's use of the spirituals "Goin' Home" and "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" in Symphony no. 9 in E minor ("From the New World") was influenced by his time with Mr. Burleigh. Mr. Burleigh also worked as a manuscript copier for Mr. Dvorák, which served as training for Mr. Burleigh's future work as a music editor.
In 1894, Mr. Burleigh went on what was probably the second most important audition of his life: for a position as baritone soloist at St. George's Episcopal Church of New York. Despite objections by the congregation to his being black, Mr. Burleigh was selected for the position over many other applicants, and he stayed there for more than 50 years — missing only one performance in that time. Mr. Burleigh's role at St. George's opened doors to influential persons, including entrepreneur J.P. Morgan, who arranged other engagements for Mr. Burleigh, which sparked the start of his very successful career as a singer.
Four years later, Mr. Burleigh married poet Louise Alston. Their son, Alston, was born the next year (1899), which also was the year that three of Mr. Burleigh's early songs (with texts by his wife) were published by G. Schirmer. (Over the course of Mr. Burleigh's career, it is estimated that he wrote as many as 300 songs.)
In 1900, Mr. Burleigh became the first African-American soloist at Temple Emanu-El in New York City. He remained a soloist at Emanu-El for 25 years. And, it was during his time at Emanu-El that he arranged the spiritual "Deep River" — one of his most well-known works — for our Temple Emanu-El Choir using the text from Psalm 19: "May the Words of My Mouth..."
Mr. Burleigh retired from singing in 1946 because of illness, and he died of heart failure on September 12, 1949, at age 82. More than 2,000 mourners attended his funeral at St. George's Episcopal Church, but despite Mr. Burleigh's once-great success and popularity, his name is relatively unknown today. According to the Harry T. Burleigh Society, Mr. Burleigh lay many years in an unmarked grave. On May 28, 1994, he was returned to his hometown of Erie, Pa. — 102 years after he left home for New York City.

I've been lurking here for years and finally succumbed to the urge to register. I've been posting my stories for just over a year over at http://www.fanfiction.net/~kensington, so I'll probably use this board for feedback for my Ranma/SM stories. I swear I will post at least one more chapter of Segue before the New Years! Although a damn Ranma/Setsuna parody oneshot has somehow spiraled to nearly 8k thoroughly unedited words.
Other than that - I partake in politics, law, hockey, ultimate frisbee and baseball. Well, I only watch hockey. I can't skate or rollerblade for the life of me. I'm looking forward to posting here infrequently!

A MAJOR STUDY has found that childhood sexual abuse in Ireland does enormous economic and social damage to survivors, even well into later life.
The survey, conducted by the ESRI and Trinity College Dublin, found that Irish men and women who were sexually abused as children were more than twice as likely as others to be forced out of work by sickness in later life.
Among the other major findings:
- Male CSA survivors are three times more likely than other men to be sick or disabled after the age of 50
- Both men and women abused in childhood are more than twice as likely as others to be out of the workforce due to sickness or permanent disability
- The household income of male CSA survivors is 34% lower than the average
- Men abused as children are twice as likely to live alone after the age of 50, compared to other men.
Speaking to TheJournal.ie, one of the researchers, Alan Barrett, said that the study measures, for the first time, the sheer scale and durability of the economic devastation that CSA causes among survivors.
We had had a sense that being a survivor of child sexual abuse had long-term economic consequences, but now those effects have actually been quantified.
Significantly, the research controlled for mental health problems, and socioeconomic status in early life, which could otherwise have explained why CSA survivors suffer disproportionate economic harms.
Take, for example, two comparable people, with similar economic circumstances in childhood, and who both suffer from depression or other mental health problems.What the study found is that if one is a childhood sexual abuse survivor, and the other is not, the childhood sexual abuse survivor is still far more likely to have negative labour market outcomes.And this is 30 years or more after the abuse itself.
"The Long-Term Impact of Childhood Sexual Abuse on Incomes and Labour force Status" which is published in a short summary today, found that CSA was slightly more prevalent among women than it was among men (6.7% vs 5.6% of all those surveyed.)
Some 8% of men and 6% of women aged between 50 and 64, and who were not sexually abused as children, are forced to leave the labour force through sickness or permanent disability.
Shockingly, among CSA survivors those numbers rise to 17% of men and 14% of women.
The study was based on self-completed questionnaires handed in by 8,500 people aged 50 and over and living in Ireland, between 2009 and 2011.
The full research paper will be published at a later date in the Journal of Behavioural and Experimental Economics.

Swine flu is on a rise and it thus, becomes of utmost importance to stay guarded against the many signs and symptoms of this disease. If you are living in a swine flu prone area you must know of these symptoms in which it manifests.
A highly contagious respiratory disease, swine flu is on the rise now. With a new case of the disease cropping up in Delhi and other states, it is highly recommended that people stay on guard by knowing its symptoms and getting treatment on a timely manner. So, following are some symptoms of swine flu and how they can be treated:
• Sore throat: Acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help to reduce the pain. In some people gargling with salt water can help to soothe sore throat.
• Chills, aches, and pain: Acetaminophen or ibuprofen can reduce body pain. Cover the person with a blanket to treat chills.
• Congestion: A person with flu can experience congestion in the nose, sinuses, ears, and chest and it can be accompanied by pain. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help to reduce pain. Simple decongestants may help to reduce congestion. However, it is always advisable to contact your doctor before you start any treatment. Some over-the-counter treatments can be given to children as well but it is advisable to contact your paediatrician before you start any treatment. Do not give any over-the-counter cough or cold medicine to children younger than 4 years of age.
• Stomach problems: Flu can cause stomach pain, vomiting or even loose stools (diarrhea). Give the person plain foods that are easy on the stomach along with water and clear liquids to drink. Consult a doctor if the person has severe stomach pain, frequent loose stools or vomiting.
Antiviral Treatments for H1N1
Consult your doctor if you develop influenza-like symptoms. Most people with swine flu recover with symptomatic treatment such as lots of rest, paracetamol or paracetamol-based cold remedies that treat fever and associated symptoms of cold.
Early and prompt use of antiviral medication is recommended if you are at a high risk of getting serious flu complications. If your doctor prescribes antiviral drugs for treatment, do not delay taking the medication. They are most beneficial when started within 2 days of sickness and have to be taken for 5 days.
Antivirals do not wholly cure swine flu, but aid to:
• Reduce the duration of symptoms or illness by around one day
• Reduce some of the symptoms
• Reduce the risk of serious complications such as pneumonia.
Your doctor may diagnose you with flu based on your signs and symptoms or may advise an influenza diagnostic test. At times your doctor may prescribe antivirals if he/she suspects flu, even if the test is negative.

Uber, as part of its ongoing court battle with Waymo, has obtained an order to depose Alphabet CEO Larry Page, with the principal aim of having him testify under oath about alleged conversations that he had with former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick. The company's deposition order also extends to David Drummond, Alphabet's chief legal officer, with a focus on the reasons that Waymo did not formally partner with Uber before the events that set the current court case into motion had a chance to happen. The catch is that the deposition order can be thrown out if Waymo agrees not to let Drummond testify at all during this case. The depositions have been granted, barring any complications or conflicting orders or motions. Both of the depositions requested by Uber have been granted for only four hours, though Page and Drummond can stay on the stand longer if they so wish. Additionally, a previous order for Waymo to furnish Uber documentation concerning a partnership with Lyft has been thrown out.
Though the information Uber alleges to be seeking is quite relevant to the matters of the case, Waymo has nonetheless fiercely opposed the ordered depositions. The company has stated that it does not intend to call either party as a witness on Waymo's side, but the fierce opposition to their deposition may signify a desire to keep both of the prominent and relevant Alphabet figures free to testify on Waymo's behalf at any time during the case. One potential implication of this, should Waymo successfully oppose Uber's deposition requests, would be that Page would have a chance to refute anything that Kalanick says on the stand, whereas Page ending up deposed before Kalanick testifies would not only see him answering to Uber's cross-examination, but could also give Kalanick a chance to instead contradict what Page says during his deposition.
The case thus far has seen Waymo granted a partial injunction against Uber operating self-driving car research, and has all but forced Uber to fire Anthony Levandowski, the engineer who allegedly stole trade secrets. A public relations crisis within Uber, focused on company culture, saw CEO Travis Kalanick stepping down with no clear successor as he left, leaving the company to seek out a new leader with no training from Kalanick to go into immediate active operation. While the current state of affairs looks to be stacked against Uber, the embattled ridesharing company could use today's deposition order to cast doubt upon Waymo's earlier claims of collusion between Uber and Levandowski long before the latter left Waymo.

One used to associate Disney with beautiful castles and fairy tales, but we often forget the hidden stories, legends, and myths that are hidden in these palaces and forts. The attraction of its mysteries is inevitable, so it's not a surprise to get the news that for the first time since 1948 someone will sleep in the Transylvanian fortress- Dracula's house- which became famous thanks to the novel by Bram Stoker.

So, now that we are in the spooky mood, we wanted to share with you a list of castles that contain hidden stories that will definitely surprise you. As told by Infobae.
1. Castle Eltz, Germany
The history of Eltz Castle in Germany began in 1157. Of the few rooms that are accessible to tourists arriving, the main room is absent from those- is known as the haunted room. The room used to belong to Countess Agnes, who allegedly died defending the castle from a rejected suitor. It is said that her spirit remains there, as well as her bed along with the "hatchet"she had in her room.

2. Edinburgh Castle, Scotland
One of the biggest attractions of the capital of Scotland is the Edinburgh Castle. And it's known as the most haunted castle in the entire country. Parts of its structure have more than 900 years old dungeons of the historic fort and are also the scene of alleged "visits" of colonial prisoners from the American Revolutionary War, French prisoners from the Seven Years' War, and even a ghost dog.

3. Predjama Castle, Slovenia
Built inside a cave in the middle of a cliff, Predjama Castle is one of the most fascinating in the world. Its story begins in the year 1274, and its structure remains as impressive as ever. Local folklore also adds a devilish charm to its beauty. The resident was long ago Knight Erazem Lueger, plus the castle has secret passages. Supposedly it was a site of torture and Lueger was betrayed and murdered by his servants inside, so it is believed he continues today bewitching the corridors.

4. Larnach Castle, New Zealand
Larnach was built between 1871 and 1887 and was the residence of William Larnach, a local politician. It has a ballroom that designed as a birthday gift for his favorite daughter, Kate, who died of typhus at age 26, and who allegedly still haunting the place. Visitors say they have felt a pat on their back and whispers in their ears.
5. Himeji Castle, Japan
The castle was built in 1333 and is one of the greatest examples that remain today of Japanese architecture. It's known that the folklore came in between the walls. The most popular story is from Okiku, a mythological character from ancient legends who was accused of misplacing valuable items. She was murdered and thrown into a well of the castle, and his ghost still haunting the place at night. Is said that she counts dishes, and, right after arriving to the number nine, she screams and reenters the well where she was thrown.

Frantz Fanon at the End of the World? Reading Fanon's Philosophy of History
- Author / Creator
- Balcom, Christopher D
This project seeks to answer two pivotal questions: How does Frantz Fanon think about history, and how might we critically apply his philosophy of history today? In answering the former, I devote the first chapter to a close reading of Fanon's work, arguing that Fanon offers a philosophy of history that is critically concerned with the possibility of establishing a universal human history. I illustrate that Fanon understands the violence and dehumanization of anti-Black racism and colonialism as barriers to this possibility, and as such he is concerned with establishing the material conditions where a move to the universal might be ponderable. However, I argue that while we can illustrate a certain dialectical consistency in Fanon's approach to the situations he was confronting, it is worth drawing some critical distinctions between the problems of anti-Black racism and colonialism in Fanon's work. I take this argument further in the second chapter, where I turn to three contemporary readings of Fanon: Ato Sekyi-Otu's Fanon's Dialectic of Experience, Glen Coulthard's Red Skin, White Masks, and Frank Wilderson III's Red, White & Black. I argue that while Sekyi-Otu and Coulthard bring important critical insight to bear on Fanon's work, they focus on the form of his dialectic at the expense of disentangling his problematics. As a useful corrective to this move, I argue that Wilderson's grounding of Fanon in the history and afterlife of enslavement offers a way of thinking about the more intractable problems of considering universal history in Fanon's work.
