The Ontario provincial government may soon be getting into the business of regulating apologies.
It started with a recommendation by the Uniform Law Conference of Canada to the Ontario Bar Association to urge the Ontario government to enact apology legislation. At the time of writing, a private member's bill, "Bill 59 – An Act Respecting Apologies," had received second reading and had been sent to the Standing Committee on Social Policy. The proposed legislation would effectively stipulate that an apology:
Similar legislation already exists in British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The objective of such legislation is to encourage early and cost-effective resolution of disputes and/or prevent the commencement of lawsuits where apologies are offered. This article examines the traditional role of apologies in the legal context and questions whether the intended legislation will accomplish its objectives.
In the absence of apology legislation, an apology would be considered a key admission in the course of a legal dispute. In particular instances, apologies can take on a significant role. For example, in defamation cases the plaintiff will inevitably request an apology from the defendant who committed the defamation to redeem his or her reputation. And, assuming the plaintiff is successful at the end of the day, the plaintiff could win increased damages if the defendant refuses to apologize.
Apologies are also relevant in the civil litigation context where, for example, there has been a finding of contempt of court and the offending party wishes to purge the contempt, and in the criminal context during sentencing.
If the recommended apology legislation is enacted in its proposed form, apologies could potentially play a very significant role in a variety of commercial disputes. Even though commercial disputes typically involve a dispute over money (or some form of property or business interest, which ultimately boils down to a monetary loss), invariably these disputes arise from a decision made or an action taken by a person. The person may have acted through or on behalf of a corporation, or may have acted as an individual, but that person's decision or action ultimately caused monetary loss to another person. Typically in such cases, there is also some feeling of injustice or damaged pride by the innocent "victim" which, from a litigator's perspective, often translates into the all-too-common desire by a client to litigate "out of principle" even when the economics do not justify it.
In many of these disputes, an apology could help facilitate a settlement more quickly and for less money because, while a monetary payment would compensate for pecuniary loss, it would not compensate for the intangible losses described above. There is data from 1994, for example, which shows that, in the case of medical malpractice suits, a significant percentage of patients said that they might not have filed suits had they been given an explanation and apology.
The danger, however, in enacting the proposed apology legislation is that it would eliminate the court's discretion to make a finding of liability in any way based on a clear admission of fault by the defendant. As it is presently worded, the draft Uniform Apology Act defines "apology" very broadly, such that it means "an expression of sympathy or regret…or any other words or actions indicating contrition or commiseration, whether or not the words or actions admit or imply an admission of fault in connection with the matter to which the words or actions relate." In some cases, the strongest (or only) evidence that a plaintiff may have to prove its case are admissions of fault spoken or written by the defendant. This proposed legislation would, therefore, tie the court's hands and disallow any consideration of such an admission of fault in determining liability.
This danger could be addressed by limiting the scope of the legislation to apply only to apologies or admission of fault that are given after the commencement of litigation. In other words, any such statements made by a defendant prior to the commencement of litigation could still be used as evidence of fault, whereas any such statements made after the lawsuit is commenced could not. Such a change to the proposed legislation would, theoretically, still satisfy the objective of encouraging early, non-litigious dispute resolution, but at the same time avoid the danger of disallowing important admissions of fault made at material times during the dispute.
Another concern is that apologies can become trivialized and meaningless if the defendant knows that they will not be admissible and the mere act of apologizing could either prevent a lawsuit from being commenced or reduce the amount of potential damages for which the defendant is liable.
The answer to this concern is that human nature being what it is, if the defendant truly believes he has done nothing wrong, he is unlikely to apologize; and conversely, if the plaintiff believes the apology is insincere, he is unlikely to accept it.
At the time this article was being prepared for inclusion in this publication, as noted, the private member's Bill had received second reading and had been sent to committee, but it was difficult to predict when or if it would become law.

IT'S a night taylor-made for Swifties.
Swiftogeddon, the club night devoted to celebrated American singer songwriter Taylor Swift, is to make its Southampton debut this spring.
Organiser Dave Fawbert has promised non-stop Swifty all night with deep cuts, extended mixes, fan favourites, album songs and all the hits from Taylor Swift, who has sold more than 50 million albums worldwide and is a multiple Grammy Award winner.
He told the Daily Echo: "It's a club night at which I play entirely Taylor Swift songs - ridiculous obviously, but I've been a huge fan for years and just thought 'she's got the material, why not give it a try?' if only for my own enjoyment.
"Amazingly, it seems I'm not alone. The first events at London's Moth Club and Manchester's Gorilla in August both sold out, and were absolutely brilliant fun, and it even got a shout out from Taylor Swift herself."
Taylor described the concept as 'amazing' on her Instagram feed.
Since then, there have been shows in Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Nottingham, which have all proved a huge success.
Swiftogeddon will take over the Engine Rooms on Saturday March 21.
"I cannot wait for another night worshipping at the altar of Taylor Swift," Dave added. "Join fellow fans in a celebration of the genius of the Swift – because she'll never go out of Style."
Having sold more than 50 million albums, Swift is one of the world's best-selling music artists and the highest-earning female musician of the 2010s. She has won ten Grammy Awards, an Emmy Award, achieved six Guinness World Records and is the most-awarded act at the American Music Awards (29 wins) and most-awarded woman at the Billboard Music Awards (23 wins).
As a songwriter, Swift has been honoured by the Songwriters Hall of Fame and was included in Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time list in 2015. She appeared in Time's list of the 100 most influential people in the world (2010, 2015, 2019) and was ranked first in the Forbes Celebrity 100 (2016 and 2019). In 2019, Swift placed at number eight on Billboard's list of greatest artists of all time—the highest for an act that debuted in the 21st century—and was named Woman of the Decade by the magazine and Artist of the Decade by the American Music Awards.
Tickets for the event are on sale now from engineroomssouthampton.com

Corning Cable Systems to Highlight Leadership in Data Centre Applications at the Corning Data Centre Seminar in London
BERLIN, GERMANY  Corning Cable Systems GmbH & Co KG, part of Corning Incorporated's (NYSE:GLW) Telecommunications segment, will feature its new LANscape ® Pretium® Evolved-Density, Growth-Enabled (EDGE) Solutions, high-density preterminated optical solutions for the data centre environment, at the Corning Data Centre Seminar in London on October 15.
The conference in London completes the 2009 Corning Data Centre Seminar series, which also visited Munich and Eindhoven. The London Corning Data Centre Seminar will gather professionals involved in the design, operation and management of data centres. Corning Cable Systems will be joined by other prominent vendors in a series of presentations to address critical issues facing today's IT managers, from next-generation data centre design to energy-efficient, future-proof solutions for data centres.
In its interactive product fair, Corning Cable Systems will showcase its Pretium EDGE Solutions, which allow for up to 35 percent faster deployment; enable up to 25 percent faster moves, adds and changes (MACs); and offer up to 100 percent more density than traditional preterminated solutions.
Enabled by Corning® ClearCurve® multimode fibre, Pretium EDGE Solutions feature preterminated and tested multi-fibre assemblies, or trunks, with a minimum bend radius as small as five times the outer diameter of the cable, compared to 10 times in traditional trunks. Pretium EDGE Solutions trunks are an average of 30 percent smaller than traditional trunks.
The cable can be more tightly routed around corners and bends, and extra slack can be coiled without causing attenuation that may adversely impact system performance. Pretium EDGE Solutions interconnect cables offer a minimum bend radius of up to eight times the outer diameter, meaning more cables can be routed and stored in the same amount of space without interfering with initial installation or MACs.
Pretium® EDGE Solutions Housings are available in both 1U and 4U sizes and mount in 19-inch racks or cabinets. When combined with Pretium EDGE Solutions trunks and jumpers, they provide an industry-leading LC connector termination density of 576 fibres within a single 4U housing. Pretium EDGE Solutions Housings contain 12 individually sliding trays that can accommodate as many as four 12-fibre LC modules or four 24-fibre MTP® Connector panels per tray. The trays allow for improved finger access of connectors and offer individual access without compromising the optical connectivity of other ports.

After an uneventful journey on the overnight train to Nong Khai, I met up with Nai and we decided to stay in the small border city for a few days before going to Laos. At the moment, I'm in Vientiane, and I still haven't decided whether to venture up to Vang Vieng or to go back to Bangkok tomorrow and then to either Phuket or Hua Hin to take in a few days at the beach.
Nong Khai hasn't changed all that much, unlike Bangkok, which has dozens of new buildings going up and old ones being torn down; the skyline seems to be in a constant flux, undecided as to what face it wants to show. Everything is open again, at least those places not destroyed by arson in the recent protests. There are very few signs of the trouble, though a cleaning man pointed out a couple of bullet holes in the metal railing of one of the skywalks near Central World, courtesy of the Thai army, he told me.
Vientiane is also seeing a lot of activity, with new construction going on in the city itself and along the banks of the Mekong, where a new waterfront park is slowly taking shape. It's been very dry and hot here, though we're getting a bit of rain this morning. I'm not sure where my next post will be from, but I'll certainly have more later.

One enthusiastic educator's exciting journey to teaching mastery
One enthusiastic educator's exciting journey to teaching mastery
Part 3: Teacher Burnout Prevention
First, let's acknowledge that burnout does not happen overnight. Rather, it is an exhausting process in which an individual is gradually drained of energy, progressively develops distant or cynical attitudes, and ceases to feel as if they are making a difference in their work. Wright (2003) would add that "it is a problem born out of good intentions because it happens when individuals try to reach unrealistic goals and end up depleting their energy and losing touch with themselves and others." (as cited in Espeland, 2006). Teacher burnout is a serious and complex issue with no easy solution. However, there are a lot of things we can do help prevent it from happening, whether you are an at-risk teacher, or a school leader.
Teaching: truly one of the most stressful jobs!
Teachers may often claim that they have one of the most stressful jobs. Yet this is not just another baseless complaint- it is actually grounded in academic research. Papastylianou & Polychronopoulos (2009) found that most studies demonstrate that teaching is one of the most high stress social professions, as it necessitates close relationships with other people and quick decision-making skills that may have serious repercussions on those involved, whether economic, social or other.
While I was in university working on my B.Ed., working to become a teacher, my professors would (seemingly) constantly remind us of the "4 by 4 rule": 40% of teachers will leave the profession within their first four years of teaching. At which point, students would look around at each other, trying to figure out who would stay and who would go, and leaving every individual wondering "will it be me?". High teacher turnover and teacher burnout may often be talked about, but like most mental health issues, they are shrouded in prejudice and misinformation.
I will be the first to admit I once had many prejudices about teacher burnout. Until I suffered from burnout and depression a year or so ago, there was a lot I didn't understand and know about the subject. Over the next few blog posts, I'd like to share some of what I've learned, through both personal experience and through research.
3 Tips To Keeping Your Sanity
Just yesterday, I gave much needed pep talks to not one, not two, but three truly excellent teachers! What is up with that?
I know I can be critical of myself when it comes to teaching, and I know a lot of fellow teachers who are the same. Teaching is such an important job, and we hold so much power over our students... we can influence their self-esteem, their view of school/learning, social relationships, and so much more- it's important to try to get it right!
Hi there!

This error is seemingly because Twitter servers have started rejecting Expect HTTP header with value "!00-Continue". I'm not sure if this was planned event or enough warnings were issued to developers but it would be guaranteed to drive you nuts.
The error is because of default behavior in HttpWebRequest object that adds an HTTP header called Expect with value "100-Continue" to almost every outgoing POST request. This header basically tells the server that it's going to send all the data in form in the next request instead of current request so that if server has redirects or auth then it doesn't have to resend it all over again. This is a good thing if your web form has lots of data or if you are on low latency network or most servers in the word have either redirects or auth when submitting forms but a bad thing for server performance because now it gets hit twice for each request. I think performance might be the reason Twitter has turned off support for such two partter POST requests which unfortunately happens to be the default for HttpWebRequest.
In any case, it turns out that HttpWebRequest does all these thing under the hood so to get rid of this error you will need to set a static flag in ServicePointManager class like this:
System.Net.ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false;Above statement will cause elimination of HTTP Expect header from your calls to Twitter and it will be happy again.
I'm using Yedda's C# wrapper for Twitter APIs for QckTwit so above line goes in to start of ExecutePostCommand method.

My throttle alone has 112 buttons which requires an external software(vJoy+Joystick Gremlin) to be used to limit number of commands. AFAIK IL-2 uses DirectInput. Would it be too much to increase the amount of buttons and axes etc. the game can accept? Would make it easier to map everything straight from the gam for example. DCS has support for more and it understands every single button on my throttle and stick without using any external programs. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This strategy differs from a straddle in that the call strike is above the put strike. As a general rule, both the call and the put are out-of-the-money. Strangles are less expensive than straddles, but a larger move in the underlying stock is generally required to reach breakeven.
Another variation of this strategy is the gut, where the call strike is below the put strike. Because both the call and put stike prices of a gut are usually in-the-money, at least one of them has to be, this strategy is very expensive and therefore rarely used.
Max Loss
The maximum loss is limited. The maximum loss occurs if the underlying stock remains between the strike prices until expiration. If at expiration the stock's price is between the strikes, both options will expire worthless and the entire premium paid will have been lost.
Max Gain
The maximum gain is unlimited. The maximum gain occurs if the underlying stock goes to infinity, and a very substantial gain would occur if the stock became worthless. The gross profit at expiration would be the difference between the stock's price and either the call strike price if the stock price is higher or the put strike price if the stock price is lower. The net profit is the gross profit less the premium paid for the options. There is no limit to the upside potential and the downside potential is limited only because the stock price cannot go below zero.
The potential profit is unlimited on the upside and very substantial on the downside. The loss is limited to the premium paid for the options.
This strategy breaks even if, at expiration, the stock price is either above the call strike price or below the put strike price by the amount of premium paid. At either of those levels, one option's intrinsic value will equal the premium paid for both options while the other option will be expiring worthless.
Upside breakeven = call strike + premiums paid
Downside breakeven = put strike – premiums paid
An increase in implied volatility, all other things equal, would have a very positive impact on this strategy. Even if the stock price holds steady, a quick rise in implied volatility would push up the value of both options and might allow the investor to close out the position for a profit well before expiration.
Time Decay
The passage of time, all other things equal, will have a very negative impact on this strategy. Because the strategy consists of being long two options, every day that passes without a move in the stock's price will cause their value to suffer a significant erosion of value.
Assignment Risk
None. The investor is in control.
Expiration Risk
If the options are held into expiration, one of them may be subject to auto-exercise.
This strategy is really a race between time decay and volatility. The passage of time is a constant that erodes the position's value a little bit every day. Volatility is the storm which might blow in at any moment, or which might never occur at all.

Why "like" or "follow" your air conditioning company on Facebook or Twitter? To communicate and get help in an emergency. We all learned the importance of social networks from the Derecho thunderstorms on June 29. At Polar Bear Air Conditioning, although our phone lines were powered by generator and our crews were working, our phone company did not have power and therefore our customers could not reach us through our main number, even forwarded to our cell phones. Over one million DC area residents also lost power in our homes, but many of us were able to travel to Wifi hot spots with power to recharge our devices and access the Internet.
For those customers who were able to access our website, we posted an emergency number on our homepage. Wouldn't it be great in a similar State of Emergency to receive a Tweet or Facebook post from your air conditioning and heating company, with an emergency number to reach us? Polar Bear Air Conditioning will do this in all future emergencies that involve heating, air conditioning and communication issues for our customers. But we need your help. In the coming weeks, we will be contacting our customers and asking you to like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter, or you can do that now by choosing the links on our home page. We will ask you if you only want to be contacted in emergencies, or would like to receive newsletters and special offers no more than 4 times a year. You can also opt to be contacted by email. We will never sell or share your information with 3rd parties, and you will not receive more than 4 promotional emails a year.
We hope to not experience another Derecho for several years. However, our goal is to be ready to communicate with and help our customers through all States of Emergency in all four seasons. Have a quiet and cool summer.
Your friends at Polar Bear Air Conditioning and Heating, Inc.

Never underestimate how much love and friendship a pet dog can give you. I only feel sorry for what those 'non-doggy' people are missing out on!
Sandy was a cross breed, with what..? i'm not sure, it did not matter, she was such a gorgeous dog. My dad rescued her from a customer at work, the owner's other dog use to beat her up, and he wanted rid of her as she was last in.
She came into my family a few months before I was born, apparently my mum was furious that this dog had been brought home (we already had another dog), that soon changed when she clapped eyes on this adourable little girl. All my childhood memories have her in there somewhere. It was lovely growing up with her. She parted with us when I was 14 years old.
Putting a dog to sleep is one of the hardest things we ever had to decide, but in the end we relised looking into her eyes it is the kindess, most loving things you can do for a dog that is suffering with pain and has no chance of recovery. I know they are both in a happier place now.

Concept: Dilation
Treatment of Chronic Maxillary Atelectasis Using Balloon Dilation
Balloon dilation may offer a more expedient and cost-effective treatment method compared with traditional endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic maxillary atelectasis. We sought to demonstrate the feasibility of balloon dilation of the maxillary os as a treatment modality for patients with chronic maxillary atelectasis by investigating the short-term outcomes in a retrospective case series of 4 patients representing 5 sinuses treated between 2011 and 2013. All sinuses were successfully balloon dilated without complications. Follow-up ranged from 1 week to 4 months. Aeration of the treated sinuses without restenosis was confirmed by postoperative endoscopy, sinus computed tomography, or both. All patients reported subjective symptomatic improvement. Balloon dilation of the maxillary os may be a feasible treatment option for maxillary sinus atelectasis. Longer follow-up and a larger study sample will be needed to validate the safety of this technique and determine the rate of restenosis.
Endosonography-guided transmural drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts using an exchange-free access device: initial clinical experience
- Surgical endoscopy
- Published over 7 years ago
- Discuss
BACKGROUND: Endosonography (EUS)-guided transmural pseudocyst drainage is a multistep procedure currently performed with different "off-the-shelf" accessories developed for other applications. Multiple device exchanges over-the-wire is time consuming and risks loss of wire access. This report describes the technical feasibility and outcomes for EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collections using a novel exchange-free device developed for translumenal therapy. METHODS: Between April and November 2010, 14 patients (9 men; mean age, 49.9 years) with pancreatic fluid collection (mean size, 102 mm) underwent 16 EUS-guided drainage procedures using the exchange-free access device at a single tertiary care center. The trocar of the exchange-free device was used to gain pseudocyst access. The dual-balloon catheter then was advanced over the trocar, followed by inflation of the (first) anchor balloon. Cyst contents were sampled, and contrast was injected to define the pseudocyst anatomy. The first guidewire was inserted into the cyst cavity. The cystenterostomy tract was dilated to 10 mm with the (second) dilation balloon, followed by a second guidewire insertion. The exchange-free access device was removed, leaving the two guidewires in place for two double-pigtail stents. RESULTS: The procedure was technically successful for all the patients. No acute procedure-related complications occurred. Late complications included a symptomatic leak in a patient who underwent drainage of a pancreatic uncinate pseudocyst from the second duodenum, a self-limited transfusion-dependent bleed after transbulbar drainage, and symptomatic pseudocyst infection. CONCLUSION: Pseudocyst access, cystenterostomy tract dilation, and placement of two guidewires for dual stent drainage are technically feasible using an exchange-free access device. The device has the potential to standardize, simplify, and streamline EUS-guided pseudocyst drainage with a single instrument. Comparative studies with alternative tools and methods for pseudocyst drainage are warranted.
Treatment of acquired nasopharyngeal stenosis using a removable silicone stent
- Journal of feline medicine and surgery
- Published about 6 years ago
- Discuss
The aim of this prospective study was to characterise patient characteristics and the histories of cats with acquired nasopharyngeal stenosis (ANS), and to describe the use of a removable silicone stent for treatment. ANS was diagnosed in 15 cats with clinical signs present for a median of 4 months. Clinical signs included stertor and inspiratory difficulty, nasal discharge, sneezing, dysphagia, regurgitation, vomiting and anorexia. Radiographs revealed a dorsal deviation or deformation of the caudal part of the soft palate in 10 of the cats, a soft tissue density across the cranial nasopharynx in four and no abnormality in one. The stenosis was initially dilated with a Kelly forceps in 10 of the cats and by balloon dilatation in five. A segment of a 24 Fr silicone thoracic catheter was used for the stent in five cats; in the other 10 cats a segment of a 28 Fr catheter was used. The stent was removed after 3 weeks in 12 cats and after 4 weeks in the other three. Endoscopy revealed an adequate nasopharyngeal diameter in all of the cats. At both 3 and 10 months after surgery the response was considered to be satisfactory, with complete resolution of clinical signs in 14 cats and improvement in the remaining cat. The treatment of ANS by stenosis dilatation followed by temporary stenting with a silicone stent is a rapid, safe, economical and effective procedure.
Dilated cardiomyopathy due to a phospholamban duplication

Dilated cardiomyopathy is characterised by dilation and impaired systolic function. We present the case of a child with dilated cardiomyopathy caused by a 624 kb duplication of 6q22.31, which includes the phospholamban gene. The patient also has failure to thrive and developmental delay due to complex cytogenetic abnormalities including a 5p15 deletion associated with Cri du Chat and an 11p15 duplication associated with Russell-Silver syndrome.
Pain dilates time perception
- Scientific reports
- Published over 2 years ago
- Discuss
We have all experienced that time seems stretched during unpleasant situations. While there is evidence of subjective time overestimation when perceiving external unpleasant stimuli, no study has measured the dilation of time when individuals experience an unpleasant situation in their own body. Here we measured the time dilation induced by a painful homeostatic deviance using temporal bisection task. We show that being in pain leads to an expansion of subjective time whereby a stronger increase in pain perception relative to non-painful stimulation leads to a stronger time-estimate distortion. Neurophysiological studies suggest that time estimation and the perception of self might share a common neural substrate. We propose that, along with bodily arousal and attentional capture, the enhancement of self-awareness may be critical to support dilated subjective time when experiencing pain. As other homeostatic deviances, pain may induce a focus on ourselves contributing to the impression that "time stands still".
Assessing First Stage Labor Progression and Its Relationship to Complications
- American journal of obstetrics and gynecology
- Published almost 5 years ago
- Discuss
New labor curves have challenged the traditional understanding of the general pattern of dilation and descent in labor. They also revealed wide variation in the time to advance in dilation. An interval of arrest such as 4 hours did not fall beyond normal limits until dilation had reached 6 cm. Thus the ACOG/SMFM first stage arrest criteria, based in part on these findings, are applicable only in late labor. The wide range of time to dilate is unavoidable because cervical dilation has neither a precise nor direct relationship to time. Newer statistical techniques (multifactorial models) can improve precision by incorporating several factors that are directly related to labor progress. At each examination the calculations adapt to the mother's current labor conditions. They produce a quantitative assessment expressed in percentiles. Low percentiles indicate potentially problematic labor progression.
An Automated Two-dimensional Pairwise form Registration Method for Pair-matching of Fragmented Skeletal Remains
- Journal of forensic sciences
- Published over 2 years ago
- Discuss
This study introduces an automated pairwise method for osteological pair-matching of fragmented skeletal remains using two-dimensional fragmented outlines extracted from photographs. The form data are used in pairwise iterative closest point registrations with rigid transformations. A modified version of the average Hausdorff distance is calculated to remove any coordinate correspondences with outline fracture margins, which allow the distance analysis of fragmented outlines. A dilation modification to the Hausdorff distance is proposed creating a greater separation between true- and false-pairs. The sample consists of 122 calcanei (61 pairs) from the UI-Stanford collection. Performance statistics are provided for simulated fragmented and complete assemblages. Results indicate up to 98% accuracy for fragmented and complete assemblages. The dilated Hausdorff distance performed similarly across assemblages, but showed a slight decrease in performance for the complete assemblage. This approach provides a useful short listing tool to reduce the number of visual comparisons required in large commingled assemblages.
Nasal dilation effects on olfactory deposition in unilateral and bi-directional deliveries: In vitro tests and numerical modeling
The human nose can expand either actively or passively to increase airflow. Nasal dilation may alter drug delivery efficiencies in the nasal airway or olfactory region. However, the dosage enhancement from nasal dilations has not been quantified. The mechanisms underlying the dilation-induced deposition variation are also not clear. This study aims to quantify the nasal dilation effects on drug delivery in the nasal airway and olfactory region using in vitro tests and numerical analysis. Two variants of an existing normal nasal airway model were developed with different levels of airway dilation. Airway dimensions were quantified in terms of hydraulic diameter, cross-sectional area, and surface area to volume ratio. Sectional nose casts were prepared using a 3-D printer for visualizing deposition patterns and quantifying delivered dosages. A well-validated computational fluid-particle dynamics (CFPD) model was utilized to understand the underlying mechanisms in the unilateral and bi-directional deliveries. In vitro tests show that nasal dilation lowered the total dosage in the nose but increased the dosage to the olfactory region in both the unilateral and bi-directional deliveries. Compared to the normal nose with unilateral delivery, nasal dilation enhanced the olfactory deposition by a factor of 2.2, while nasal dilatation with the bi-directional delivery increased by a factor of 4. Complementary numerical analyses revealed the growth of a recirculation zone in the middle meatus of dilated noses, which induced lower pressure and increased ventilation to the upper nose. In bi-directional deliveries, a significantly higher fraction of airflow was ventilated to the upper airway in the outflow side of the nose and contributed to the elevated olfactory dosage. Nasal dilation in combination with the bi-directional delivery is recommended over the conventional unilateral method for olfactory targeting.
Relaxin 2 fails to lower intraocular pressure and to dilate retinal vessels in rats

Recently, the vasodilator relaxin 2 has been introduced as a treatment for acute heart failure. However, its role on vessels of the eye and intraocular pressure (IOP) remains unclear though it has been hypothesized to induce a decrease IOP after intramuscular injection in humans. We aimed to test whether the hormone relaxin 2 lowers IOP and dilates retinal vessels in animals.
Glucose Dilates Renal Afferent Arterioles via Glucose Transporter-1
- American journal of physiology. Renal physiology
- Published over 2 years ago
- Discuss
Glomerular hyperfiltration often occurs during the early stage of diabetes. An acute glucose infusion increases glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The involvement of tubuloglomerular feedback response and direct effect of glucose on the afferent arterioles (Af-Arts) have been suggested. However, the signaling pathways to trigger Af-Art dilatation have not been fully identified. Therefore, in the present study we tested our hypothesis that an increase of glucose concentration enhances endothelial nitric oxide synthesis (NOS3) activity and dilates the Af-Arts via glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) using isolated mouse Af-Arts with perfusion. We isolated and microperfused the Af-Arts from non-diabetic C57BL/6 mice. The Af-Arts were preconstricted with norepinephrine (NE, 1 µM). When we switched the D-glucose concentration from low (5 mM) to high (30 mM) in the perfusate, the preconstricted Af-Arts significantly dilated by 37.8{plus minus}7.1%, but L-glucose did not trigger the dilation. GLUT1 mRNA was identified in microdisserted Af-Arts measured by RT-PCR. Changes in nitric oxide (NO) production in Af-Art was also measured using fluorescent probe when ambient glucose concentration was increased. When the D-glucose concentration was switched from 5 to 30 mM, NO generation in Af-Art was significantly increased by 19.2{plus minus}6.2% (84.7{plus minus}4.1 to 101.0{plus minus}9.3 units/min). L-glucose had no effect on the NO generation. A GLUT1 selective antagonist, STF-31, and a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-NG-Nitroarginine Methyl Ester blocked the high glucose-induced NO generation and vasodilation. In conclusion, we demonstrated that an increase in glucose concentration dilates the Af-Art by stimulation of the endothelium derived NO production mediated by GLUT1.

Zelda Versus: Best Ocarina of Time Sage Tournament — Semi-Finals — Darunia Vs. Saria
Posted on December 05 2018 by Rod Lloyd
Our best Ocarina of Time sage tournament continues with with two new characters. As Zelda and Impa duke it out in Monday's poll, Darunia and Saria enter the fray.
Darunia Vs. Saria
This is the clash I've been waiting for. Darunia enjoyed a groundswell of support during his Round 1 fight against Nabooru. The Goron chief's fans were quick to point out his endearing personality, his proficiency with hammers, and his epic dance moves. People love the dance moves. In any case, Darunia's victory was hard fought, as it took a sizable amount of persistence to overcome the surprisingly popular Nabooru. But with a solid win now under his belt, Darunia proves that he has the chops to make it all the way to the top.
Saria absolutely destroyed her competition during our last round. Earning nearly 200 more votes than Rauru, the Sage of Forest won by the biggest margin of any Round 1 bout. That's an impressive victory, for sure. Saria clearly has a lot of passionate fans rallying for cause, and it's not hard to imagine why. She's loyal, generous, and kind; all the makings of a true champion. Saria seems to have plenty of momentum going into the Semi-Finals, so let's see if she can pull off another splendid performance.
So, it's time to decide which Ocarina of Time sage is the best: Darunia or Saria
Who is the Best Ocarina of Time Sage?
- Saria (65%, 145 Votes)
- Darunia (35%, 79 Votes)
Total Voters: 224
Here's some important tournament information:
- If you receive a "Failed to Verify Referrer" message and you are logged into a version of WordPress, try logging out.
- We will post a new Semi-Finals voting page on Monday and Wednesday.
- Voting for each game will be open for exactly one week.
- On Friday, we will post a wrap-up article explaining the results of the prior week.
- Once voting pages for all Semi-Final bouts have been posted, there will be a one-week break before the Finals begin.
See you Friday!

"Back home, we bowl mixed doubles with our husbands, yet we achieved this without them even being on the lanes with us."The duo enjoyed being able to take the lead, although they admitted to being surprised by their performance. Now, they have a short wait to see if they can add a gemstone trophy to carry along back to Texas.The 2019 Women's Championships concludes June 30."This has been both fun and surprising," Tucker said. "It was just an accident."Topaz Doubles features bowlers with combined entering averages of 259 and below.Visit us on Facebook at the official USBC Women's Championships page.

Impatient racing of my heart with a dim corner for compassion,
Trying to cling onto something corporeal,
My pain getting constant and sharp,
The cries getting louder and callous,
The gloomy feeling rules my heart.
The continuum of happiness is bleak,
Tired of this illusory which I perform every day that validates my existence in society,
The hollow conscience and the eradicating morals,
Blanket of stars brings solace to this restless heart,
Millions of the just glowing in darkness.
This is God's own curse whether day or night,
The fake smile and the dreary face make it evidently clear of the fanatic cries,
Poison on my mind and the black coffin in my sight,
Abandoned by the near and dear ones,
Just throw my corpse where sadness cannot mourn,
Tired of being trapped behind this mask of despair.

6 - Colombo Dockyard, Mangala Yapa - Managing Director/CEO
Most Ven Maha Sangha, Hon Basil Rajapaksa, Minister of Economic Development, Mr Lalith Weeratunga, Secretary to the President, distinguished invitees, ladies and gentlemen,
First of all, we are very pleased and honoured to be adjudged among the Top Twenty companies of Sri Lanka, this happened to be the second occasion that we are adjudged.
Let me take a brief moment and express that Colombo Dockyard is a unique entity amongst these twenty companies. Today, we are earning almost two percent of Sri Lanka's export revenue, competing in a global market. Perhaps one company that has taken the challenge to harmonise Sri Lankan expertise, engineering skills, talents and go out to the global market and make a mark in that regard. So, we've proven ourselves to be a local ship builder who can compete internationally and bring the Sri Lankan flag across the world. So our 'made in Sri Lanka' products are now flying many international waters, bringing pride and glory to mother Sri Lanka. We are indeed grateful for all the governments, successive governments who have helped us in building this capacity in Sri Lanka, all our past clients, specially Admiral Karannagoda who is here, the Sri Lanka Navy, Ports Authority who gave us the opportunity to harness this capacity and more than anything else capability and competency within this company and to face this challenge internationally.
Mr Weeratunga spoke about environmental concerns and other aspects of global business. Shipping industry is today going through major challenges. Although many businesses have recovered after the global economic recession, the shipping industry is still trying its best to get out of the aftermath of the global economic recession. Despite all these odds, for 2009/2010 when we were adjudged to the sixth position in this top twenty companies, we came way above many of our other competitors in the region. That is because we were able to focus on people, we were able to focus on team effort, we were able to work internally as well as externally and then make a unique product with dedication and commitment. So therefore, this award is dedicated to all the people, all the teams, from our Chairman down to the last worker in Colombo Dockyard who has made it possible. I also congratulate all the winners tonight and thank the Business Today and Mathi for the wonderful efforts taken to recognise all of us. Thank you.
Sarath Amaradewa
Another day... Another nightAnother month.... Another yearAnother smile..... Another tearBut there can never be Another YOU......Departure of a Great Gentlemen....Best wishes for all your future endeavors.CONGRATULATIONS for being the CEO at NCE ......... 13.09.2014 ............

This is the formula I have used
=SUMPRODUCT(('Engineer sheet'!$L3:$L$1005="ABC")*('Engineer sheet'!$H3:$H$1005="NORTH")*('Engineer sheet'!$G3:$G$1005="TABLE"))-COUNT('Engineer sheet'!O3:O1006)
The forth array in Column O is a range of dates, some are blank cells.
I am trying to total the number dates in in Column O based on the SUMPRODUCT from the previous 3 table arrays.
I use Excel 2003
Any help will be appricated
Regards Ken
re: "I am trying to total the number dates in in Column O based on the SUMPRODUCT from the previous 3 table arrays."
I'm not sure what you mean by "trying to total the number dates".
Are you trying to have the SUMPRODUCT only return a count of ABC, NORTH, TABLE if there is also a date in Column O?
As written, your formula will first calculate the number of rows where ABC, NORTH, TABLE are all present and then subtract the number of cells in Column O that contain any value. There is no relationship between the SUMPRODUCT part of your formula and the COUNT part. They are really 2 independent calculations.
What exactly are you trying to calculate?

Thanks for time and effort. I wanted to count the dates in column P, when all the other 3 columns had the critrias mentioned
I have managed to to get the formual using
SUMPRODUCT(('Engineer sheet'!$L$2:$L$1005="abc")*('Engineer sheet'!$H$2:$H$1005="NORTH")*('Engineer sheet'!$G$2:$G$1005="abc")*('Engineer sheet'!$P$2:$P$1005<>0))

Not available
This event has already taken place. However, there´re many other events in our offer to choose from. Please use links below or our easy event search form to continue.Where to go?
Founded in 1994 by leading Czech Philharmonic players. With their set up of violins, viola and violoncello they are a unique permanent chamber ensemble not only in the Czech Republic but also worldwide.
The motivation to create sextet was not only interesting, but in contrast to the string quartet, to create a richer sound as well as the valuable compositions of the great masters that, thanks to this unusual instrument composition, tend to be performed sporadically.
In the course of its existence, Sextet has performed hundreds of concerts and received recognition and respect from listeners and professional critics not only at home but also abroad.
Irena Jakubcová, Ota Bartoš – violin
Jaroslav Pondělíček, Jan Šimon – viola
František Host, Josef Špaček – cello
Classical music in Prague
Rudolfinum is the most famous concert building in Prague and the seat of the Czech Philharmonic. Its two concert halls stage the most prominent concerts such as the Prague Spring Festival.The elegant Neo-Renaissance building of Rudolfinum was built between 1876-1884 by Česká Spořitelna (Czech Savings Bank) on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of its foundation.
The bulding was conceived as a multipurpose cultural center with a concert hall and exhibition halls. The building was taken under the patronage of the heir of the Habsburg throne, the archduke Rudolph after whom the building was named. Between 1919 and 1941 Rudolfinum served temporarily as an assembly hall of Czech Parliament.
Since then it has functioned as a concert hall, exhibition space, and a seat of the Czech Philharmonic. The intimate Suk Hall with excellent acoustics hosts chamber classical concerts, such as string quartets or piano recitals. Festive atmosphere and great concerts held in Rudolfinum will not let you forget this exceptional space.

Since the publication of, Losing the Hate, in November of 2010, (eBook), and the paperback last July, I have recieved some outstanding reviews, along with personal messages of praise for writing such an emotional book.
The book itself continues to aid the rehabilitaion of abuse victims, as well as offering an awareness for parents both in the USA, as well as England.
The thought that I have written a book which is helping others generates a joy, which I never thought would course through my veins.
With such great sales figures, I'm often asked why it's only priced at £2.99 & $3.49, which, for the most part, seems to be a trend within the indie publishing world.
Well, the answer is simple, I want the book to be read by as wide a range of readers as possible, ensuring the message it contains reaches everyone. It's not about a big fat royalty cheque, or even recognition, but moreover, I want my story heard. If one person can change their life after reading about what happened to me, if one family can maybe recognise what is going on around them . . . then I'm happy.
I have never been a great public speaker, nor have I ever wanted to be, and so, for me, the book is the easiesst way that I can strive to make a difference .

- This article is about the television series. For the series' main character, see Kotaro Minami.
Kamen Rider Black RX (仮面ライダーBLACK RX Kamen Raidā Burakku Āru Ekkusu?, Masked Rider Black RX) is a Japanese tokusatsu superhero television series produced as part of the Kamen Rider Series. The ninth show in the franchise, it was a joint collaboration between Ishimori Productions and Toei Company, and aired on the Mainichi Broadcasting System and the Tokyo Broadcasting System from October 23, 1988 to September 24, 1989 with a total of 47 episodes. The series was a direct sequel to Kamen Rider BLACK and the first to feature a team-up with the past Riders since the 1984 TV special Birth of the 10th! Kamen Riders All Together!!.
The series was adapted by Saban in North America as Saban's Masked Rider. The Americanization featured a heavily altered story and all new characters, in an attempt to fit the series in as a spin-off of 'the Power Rangers series.
This was the last installment of the Kamen Rider Series to be produced in the Shōwa period and the first to be produced in the Heisei period—Episode 11 was delayed by one week following Emperor Shōwa's death.
Half a year after the downfall of Gorgom, Kotaro Minami has gotten a job of a helicopter pilot in a business owned by the Sahara family. Kotaro is later captured by the Crisis Empire and offered a place in their group. When Kotaro refused, his King Stone was shattered and he was thrown into space where the sun's radiation mutated his King Stone and he mutated into Kamen Rider BLACK RX. With his new powers, he battles the Crisis Empire and thwarts their plans to take over Earth.

The question about finishing books that you know will never be strong enough for publication is a good one. The fact that you're even willing to ask it shows that you are able to step back and look critically at your work, which is something so many writers struggle with their whole lives. We all want every idea to be "the one" and we try to force it to be sometimes. I have a virtual drawer full of manuscripts that will never be published and I had to walk away from each of them at some point. I really believe that finishing a draft is imperative, but also knowing when to take what you've learned and realize that what it's taught you is what that manuscript's job was, and not publication, is an extremely valuable tool too. I know that's an awkward sentence, but I just woke up from a nap! Best I can do. Love your blog.
May 25, 2010 3:46 PM
Your ambition astounds me! And inspires too. I really want to go write now. 😀
I edit as I go along, but after I finish, I go back and first sort through editorial issues, such as punctuation, grammar, clarity, etc. As I go along, I make notes about dropped plotlines and messy scenes. After I finish the technical stuff, I re-write the meat of the novel. It's a bit of a clunky process, but it's the best I've found for me so far.
May 22, 2010 6:29 PM
I generally edit/re-write as I go along, so I am no help in that area. But I agree that finishing a project is worth the experience. As for encouragement, this came to mind: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmyUkm2qlhA (hint: it's from Finding Nemo)
May 22, 2010 5:03 PM
Having a practice novel of sorts is an excellent idea. I wish I'd done that. Too many of us start with an idea that we want to be perfect and are so disappointed when it's not, but it's wonderful that you're taking this book and using it to get better. That's the perfect thing to do. 🙂

Wedding at Borgo della Certosa di Pavia
The last location details in the park of the Borgo della Certosa were almost finished when I arrived about an hour or so before the ceremony.
The chairs perfectly aligned and dressed in white, the petals on the grass, and the guests who quitely approached the chairs snooping around.
Lorenzo, whose fun-loving nature I felt when we first met , is visibly excited and already preparing in a room looking to the garden.
His sister, nieces and dad where there to encourage him.
In the next room Ileana is in the hands of her most important friend.
The situation is paradoxical, Ileana was very calm while the makeup artist was almost restless.
Then arrived her mother, which I assure you had a smile that embraced us all!
Time flies and we are already at the ceremony, Lorenzo wanted to get with her mother next to him but he called also the dad at the last moment .
The words of their closest friends have slid more than a few tears.
I am often witness to these moments, I am a very lucky man.
Enjoy some pictures …
