§1412. Dumping permit program
(a) Environmental Protection Agency permits
Except in relation to dredged material, as provided for in section 1413 of this title, and in relation to radiological, chemical, and biological warfare agents, high-level radioactive waste, and medical waste, for which no permit may be issued, the Administrator may issue permits, after notice and opportunity for public hearings, for the transportation from the United States or, in the case of an agency or instrumentality of the United States, or in the case of a vessel or aircraft registered in the United States or flying the United States flag, for the transportation from a location outside the United States, of material for the purpose of dumping it into ocean waters, or for the dumping of material into the waters described in section 1411(b) of this title, where the Administrator determines that such dumping will not unreasonably degrade or endanger human health, welfare, or amenities, or the marine environment, ecological systems, or economic potentialities. The Administrator shall establish and apply criteria for reviewing and evaluating such permit applications, and, in establishing or revising such criteria, shall consider, but not be limited in his consideration to, the following :
(A) The need for the proposed dumping.
(B) The effect of such dumping on human health and welfare, including economic, esthetic, and recreational values.
(C) The effect of such dumping on fisheries resources, plankton, fish, shellfish, wildlife, shore lines and beaches.
(D) The effect of such dumping on marine ecosystems, particularly with respect to-
(i) the transfer, concentration, and dispersion of such material and its byproducts through biological, physical, and chemical processes.
(ii) potential changes in marine ecosystem diversity, productivity, and stability, and
(iii) species and community population dynamics.
(E) The persistence and permanence of the effects of the dumping.
(F) The effect of dumping particular volumes and concentrations of such materials.
(G) Appropriate locations and methods of disposal or recycling, including land-based alternatives and the probable impact of requiring use of such alternate locations or methods upon considerations affecting the public interest.
(H) The effect on alternate uses of oceans, such as scientific study, fishing, and other living resource exploitation, and non-living resource exploitation.
(I) In designating recommended sites, the Administrator shall utilize wherever feasible locations beyond the edge of the Continental Shelf.
In establishing or revising such criteria, the Administrator shall consult with Federal, State, and local officials, and interested members of the general public, as may appear appropriate to the Administrator. With respect to such criteria as may affect the civil works program of the Department of the Army, the Administrator shall also consult with the Secretary. In reviewing applications for permits, the Administrator shall make such provision for consultation with interested Federal and State agencies as he deems useful or necessary. No permit shall be issued for a dumping of material which will violate applicable water quality standards. To the extent that he may do so without relaxing the requirements of this subchapter, the Administrator, in establishing or revising such criteria, shall apply the standards and criteria binding upon the United States under the Convention, including its Annexes.
(b) Permit categories
The Administrator may establish and issue various categories of permits, including the general permits described in section 1414(c) of this title.
(c) Designation of sites
(1) In general
The Administrator shall, in a manner consistent with the criteria established pursuant to subsection (a), designate sites or time periods for dumping. The Administrator shall designate sites or time periods for dumping that will mitigate adverse impact on the environment to the greatest extent practicable.
(2) Prohibitions regarding site or time period
In any case where the Administrator determines that, with respect to certain materials, it is necessary to prohibit dumping at a site or during a time period, the Administrator shall prohibit the dumping of such materials in such site or during such time period. This prohibition shall apply to any dumping at the site or during such time period. This prohibition shall apply to any dumping at the site or during the time period, including any dumping under section 1413(e) of this title.
(3) Dredged material disposal sites
In the case of dredged material disposal sites, the Administrator, in conjunction with the Secretary, shall develop a site management plan for each site designated pursuant to this section. In developing such plans, the Administrator and the Secretary shall provide opportunity for public comment. Such plans shall include, but not be limited to-
(A) a baseline assessment of conditions at the site;
(B) a program for monitoring the site;
(C) special management conditions or practices to be implemented at each site that are necessary for protection of the environment;
(D) consideration of the quantity of the material to be disposed of at the site, and the presence, nature, and bioavailability of the contaminants in the material;
(E) consideration of the anticipated use of the site over the long term, including the anticipated closure date for the site, if applicable, and any need for management of the site after the closure of the site; and
(F) a schedule for review and revision of the plan (which shall not be reviewed and revised less frequently than 10 years after adoption of the plan, and every 10 years thereafter).
(4) General site management plan requirement; prohibitions
After January 1, 1995, no site shall receive a final designation unless a management plan has been developed pursuant to this section. Beginning on January 1, 1997, no permit for dumping pursuant to this Act or authorization for dumping under section 1413(e) of this title shall be issued for a site (other than the site located off the coast of Newport Beach, California, which is known as "LA–3") unless such site has received a final designation pursuant to this subsection or an alternative site has been selected pursuant to section 1413(b) of this title. Beginning January 1, 2011, no permit for dumping pursuant to this Act or authorization for dumping under section 1413(e) of this title shall be issued for the site located off the coast of Newport Beach, California, which is known as "LA–3", unless such site has received a final designation pursuant to this subsection or an alternative site has been selected pursuant to section 1413(b) of this title.
(5) Management plans for previously designated sites
The Administrator shall develop a site management plan for any site designated prior to January 1, 1995, as expeditiously as practicable, but not later than January 1, 1997, giving priority consideration to management plans for designated sites that are considered to have the greatest impact on the environment.
(d) Fish wastes
No permit is required under this subchapter for the transportation for dumping or the dumping of fish wastes, except when deposited in harbors or other protected or enclosed coastal waters, or where the Administrator finds that such deposits could endanger health, the environment, or ecological systems in a specific location. Where the Administrator makes such a finding, such material may be deposited only as authorized by a permit issued by the Administrator under this section.
(e) Foreign State permits; acceptance
In the case of transportation of material, by an agency or instrumentality of the United States or by a vessel or aircraft registered in the United States or flying the United States flag, from a location in a foreign State Party to the Convention, a permit issued pursuant to the authority of that foreign State Party, in accordance with Convention requirements, and which otherwise could have been issued pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, shall be accepted, for the purposes of this subchapter, as if it were issued by the Administrator under the authority of this section: Provided, That in the case of an agency or instrumentality of the United States, no application shall be made for a permit to be issued pursuant to the authority of a foreign State Party to the Convention unless the Administrator concurs in the filing of such application.

Rhetorical Analysis
Critical Reading and Persuasive Writing
For this assignment, you will undertake a textual and contextual analysis of a text (in the broad sense) that makes some kind of argument related to democracy. Although you will need to summarize some of the text, rather than being purely informational, please be sure that you use the vocabulary from the chapters we discussed to identify different elements of the rhetorical situation. While you write the analysis, remember that you are not being asked to agree or disagree with the author's position; instead, you should concentrate on interpreting how the rhetorical choices that the author makes serve to strengthen or weaken the argument (remember to make use of arguments from probability and to keep you language fairly loose). To create a believable interpretation, you will need to support your analysis with specific examples from the text that demonstrate how well the rhetorical choices made by the author work. Also, remember that there is no "correct" method for doing a rhetorical analysis. It will be up to you, the writer, to make connections and to emphasize what you feel are the most important aspects of the text to analyze. Should you find that your article lends itself more to one area of analysis than another, you can certainly concentrate your efforts.
In terms of organization, please be sure to order your paragraphs in a way that helps highlight the connections you are making. Doing so will require that your transitions between paragraphs help the reader see how, for example, the intended audience also sets limitations on the author, or how the motivation for writing the argument has an effect on what appeals the author chose to include. In the final section of your analysis, please briefly recap your analysis and offer an interpretation of the overall success or failure of the argument. Again, do not offer your opinion about the content of the argument (e.g., "this argument makes no sense"), but do offer your interpretation on how effective the argument might be for its intended audience based on the connections you discuss in the body paragraphs of your paper.
Length: 6-8 pages, double-spaced, with a 12 pt. Times New Roman font.
Below you will find some helpful questions to get you started on the rhetorical analysis, but they are by no means exhaustive. For a more comprehensive list, see chapters two and three in your textbook.
Audience: Can you define the probable readers in terms of age, gender, occupation, education, position of power? What values do target readers share with the writer (warrants/presuppositions)? What range of positions on the issue might target readers hold before reading?
Text: What features of the text seem most crucial to understand—the claim, the arrangement of arguments, the supporting evidence, the appeals, the style? What features of the essay make it a more convincing or persuasive argument? What parts of the text are most difficult to read? Why? What parts are most appealing? Why?
Writer: What do you know about this writer? What specific qualifications does the writer present to build credibility with the target audience? What appeals to the writer's character do you see in the essay? In what ways does the author identify with the readers? Does this level of audience connection help the essay? How?
Motives: – What seems to have prompted the writer to present this argument (what is the exigency)? What, if any, is the writer's history of work on this topic? Does it seem reasonable to suggest that a particular event prompted the writer? What value(s) might have inspired the writer to publish this argument in the selected venue?

I have been saying for years that the NFL needs to ban long hair, mainly for safety, but it also looks bad. Now it looks like they may actually get it done. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/nfl/03/26/bc.fbn.nfl.hair.ap/index.html?cnn=yes
I knew a coach in youth football that carried scissors and would trim kids hair at the helmet line if it was in our eyes. and the hair in the back should never go past the collar. This was in the 70's and early 80's. If you want to have long hair , fine, just keep it in the helmet, so other players cant grab it, http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/2006-10-21-long-hair_x.htm
and its not flopping all over the place. For the sake of the gods, please try and look like a professional. You are getting paid.

The ignominious defeat of British Maj. Gen. Edward Braddock's forces at the Battle of the Monongahela on July 9, 1755, had not only long-term repercussions on the course of the French and Indian War and the conduct of warfare in general, but also more immediate consequences. As conceived in an earlier meeting between Braddock and colonial governors in Alexandria, Va., the British would mount four campaigns against New France in 1755. Braddock's main thrust had clearly failed, resulting in the deaths of nearly 500 men, including the general himself. Lt. Col. Robert Monckton's early June siege of Fort Beauséjour, in Acadia (present-day New Brunswick), had succeeded. But a campaign against Fort Niagara, on Lake Ontario, led by Massachusetts Governor William Shirley, Braddock's second-in-command, was delayed by logistical shortfalls, then cancelled altogether on news of Braddock's death.
The last of the four campaigns, a colonial effort against Fort Saint-Frédéric, on Lake Champlain, was led by 40-year-old Sir William Johnson, New York's appointed Iroquois agent, whom Braddock had commissioned as a major general. Thus a man with little military experience found himself at the head of an army of 3,500 colonial militiamen and upward of 250 Mohawk warriors. By mid-July, despite manpower issues and a persistent shortage of supplies, advance troops under Maj. Gen. Phineas Lyman had marched from Albany up the Hudson River to the point below a series of waterfalls where all navigation ceased, even for canoes and rafts. There, at a portage known as the Great Carrying Place, Capt. William Eyre of the Royal Engineers—the only British regular serving in the expedition—started work on a post he named Fort Lyman. Arriving soon after, Johnson diplomatically renamed the garrison Fort Edward, in honor of the prince, a grandson of King George II and younger brother of future King George III.
While Eyre kept busy on the stronghold, with 500 militiamen at his disposal, the bulk of the colonial army under Johnson cut a road 12 miles northwest through swampy woodlands to the head of Lac du Saint-Sacrement, which Johnson promptly renamed Lake George. By early September nearly 3,000 troops were encamped along the lake, and the siege artillery had arrived. All Johnson awaited from Albany was an additional supply of small boats and enough provisions to support his army in the field for a few weeks.
To the north the governor general of New France, Pierre de Rigaud, Marquis de Vaudreuil, was also keeping tabs on Fort Saint-Frédéric, as well as Johnson's progress. The surprise victory over the British at the Monongahela and consequent capture of Braddock's papers had presented the marquis a dilemma. Prior reports had indicated Shirley was having difficulty moving men and supplies to Fort Oswego, a British trading post on the southeast shore of Lake Ontario. Thus Vaudreuil had been marshalling his forces to launch a pre-emptive strike on the fort before Shirley's army could reinforce it.
But after reading the reports of Johnson's progress and studying the maps, Vaudreuil realized he would have to set aside any thoughts of Oswego and focus on the threat at hand. Twenty-year-old Fort Saint-Frédéric, which guarded the approach to Lake Champlain from South Bay, was known to be a crumbling mess. Its masonry walls were propped up with wooden supports in places, and although it boasted more than 60 cannons, its garrison was not strong enough to repel a concerted siege. Were Johnson to capture the fort, his army would be free to sail the length of Lake Champlain with impunity. Within a matter of days, Vaudreuil shuddered to think, 3,000 British troops could be on the outskirts of Montréal.
Suspending the Oswego operation, the governor general ordered its commander, Brig. Gen. Ludwig August von Dieskau—a German-born baron and protégé of the revered tactician Count Maurice de Saxe—to proceed to Fort Saint-Frédéric with the newly arrived Lan-guedoc and La Reine regiments, numbering some 260 grenadiers, joined by a mixed force of 800 Canadians and colonial marines and some 700 Indian allies. From there Dieskau would see to the security of the fort before dealing with Johnson's army. If the British colonials, notorious for their poor conduct in battle, were anything like Braddock's regulars, the general might quickly scatter Johnson's forces and still return in time to launch an assault on Fort Oswego.
When Dieskau arrived at Fort Saint-Frédéric on August 17 he found it in ill repair, but the scouting parties he dispatched detected no immediate danger, so his men set to work. The fort seen to, Dieskau moved his force south 12 miles to the Ticonderoga peninsula. From there he could contest the passage into Lake Champlain from both the Lake George and South Bay invasion routes. Question was, which approach would Johnson use? In the interim, Dieskau dared not move forward, for fear of leaving open one of the routes to Fort Saint-Frédéric.
On September 2 an Abenaki scout returned to camp with a British prisoner. The captive informed the baron that Johnson had marched his army to the head of Lake George. He also told Dieskau that partially completed Fort Edward had yet to mount any cannons along its walls and was guarded by only 500 men. It was precisely the information Dieskau was seeking.
His plan was simple. With a force of 700 Canadians, 600 allied Indians and a detachment of French grenadiers—some 1,500 men in all—the general would continue down Lake Champlain by canoe to South Bay. There the troops would disembark and march south the 19 miles to Fort Edward. In taking the fort, Dieskau would cut Johnson's supply line, forcing the latter to fall back in order to re-establish communications with Albany. Given there were only a half-dozen weeks left in the campaign season before the weather would make any siege impractical, the action would effectively end the British threat to Fort Saint-Frédéric.
By the evening of September 7 Dieskau's force was encamped in the woods a few miles from Fort Edward. The general was arguing with his Indian allies over the plan of attack when two British prisoners were brought before him. The men stated Johnson was at Lake George with 3,000 colonials and their Mohawk allies. Furthermore, the British commander knew there was a French force in the area, but had no idea of its size or location. Convening with his Indian allies, Dieskau gave them the choice of following through with an attack on the fort or striking north to attack Johnson's camp at Lake George. Loath to attack emplaced artillery, the chieftains opted to head north, further agreeing to return to besiege Fort Edward were the expedition successful.
Later that evening Johnson, having learned from a scout that a sizable French and Indian war party was en route to attack Fort Edward, sent a courier to warn the fort and convened a council of war. After some debate, Johnson proposed sending a 500-man detachment to the aid of the understrength garrison. King Hendrick, leader of Mohawks in camp, strongly objected. "If they are to fight, they are too few," he said of the detachment. "If to be killed, they are too many." His comment made an impression on the general, who resolved to double the number. At 8 a.m. on September 8 the 1,000-man relief force, under Massachusetts Col. Ephraim Williams, marched out of camp, followed soon after by Hendrick and his 250 Mohawks. A mile down the freshly cut road to Fort Edward, Hendrick and his fleet warriors took the lead. Fearing that deploying flankers would only slow the column, Williams traded speed for security and recklessly pressed forward, unaware of the danger that lay ahead.
Unfortunately for the Massachusetts commander, what lay ahead was a perfectly set ambush. On receiving reports from his own scouts of the British advance, Dieskau had selected a spot just south of the lake where the road threaded a narrow defile. There the baron deployed his Canadians and Indians in the forested slopes to either side, while his regulars blocked the road farther back. Williams' column had entered Dieskau's trap but not yet encountered the French regulars when a premature shot rang out from one of the Canadians or Indians. The misstep spared the British from annihilation, but they still paid dearly for their lack of caution, as seconds later the tree line east of the road lit up with jets of flame from a rolling volley of musket fire. The echoes of the opening barrage had not yet faded when followed by the rippling thunder of several hundred muskets from the tree line west of the road.
The British vanguard disintegrated. Hendrick, his pony shot from beneath him in the opening volley, was bayoneted where he fell, and Williams took a musket ball to the head while attempting to secure high ground, leaving the column leaderless. Moments later a deafening chorus of yells and war whoops rang out, as hundreds of Canadian troops and Indian warriors armed with knives, tomahawks and war clubs rushed in from either side of the road. The British column convulsed and then broke into headlong flight toward Lake George. Given the bloodthirsty tide following close on its heels, the shattered column would likely have been engulfed were it not for Lt. Col. Nathan Whiting's disciplined rear guard, which delayed the enemy with a few well-timed volleys.
When the opening barrage reached Dieskau's ears, he cursed the impatience of the Canadian irregulars and Indian warriors and ordered his grenadiers to advance. His opportunity slipping away, the baron quickly formulated another plan: First, he would push the British column back on its camp and exploit the confusion created by its return to cover an assault on the fortifications. Then, once atop the colonials, he would send his grenadiers on a bayonet charge, which he was convinced would turn the undisciplined provincials into a panicked mob.
The north end of Johnson's camp abutted the lake, its flanks protected by swampy ground. The west and central portions of the position were buttressed by the three Massachusetts regiments. The remaining troops, the artillery and the bulk of the stores lay along the east side, where the road entered the encampment. No defensive works had been erected, and although the colonial troops had cleared most of the ground within the encampment, the perimeter, with the exception of an open area along the road, remained a tangled mass of brush and broadleaf trees. At the sound of approaching gunfire, the British troops scrambled to raise a makeshift breastwork, piling up felled trees, wagons and even overturned boats about the perimeter of the camp. The men also hauled three heavy cannons into position opposite the road and manhandled a fourth gun atop a hill along the camp's eastern edge. By the time Williams' panicked troops started pouring into camp, the barricade was no more than a few feet high in many places.
While the return of the British detachment had created the confusion Dieskau had anticipated, he remained more than a half-mile away, still dickering with his field commanders. The Canadians and Indians were exhausted from the running battle, and neither group was interested in attacking a fortified camp supported by cannons. Dieskau, whose family crest reportedly bore the legend Boldness Wins, was determined to press his advantage. His grenadiers would attend to the British guns, he promised the Canadians and Indians. All they had to do was rush the barricade, which, he pointed out, was "of trifling height."
Forming his regulars into a column, Dieskau sent them marching down the road against the British position, and although it took some persuading, the Canadian and Indian contingents began filtering through the woods toward Johnson's camp. While most obeyed the general's orders, it was clear many did not, and it was also clear those who did had no intention of brazenly storming the British lines.
Meanwhile, the brief pause in the fighting had given Johnson and his officers precious time to calm their frightened troops and stabilize their hastily arranged lines. Sporadic firing broke out as concealed Canadians and Indians probed the breastwork from the trees. Then came a rattle of drums, as the French regulars marched into view on the road. Johnson's officers deployed their men as Dieskau's white-coated formation advanced to within 100 yards. While terror froze many of the provincial troops, Capt. Eyre, in command of the cannons deployed across from the French formation, finally gave the order to fire. While the sound of the guns bolstered the British troops' spirits, the muzzles were set too high, and the balls sailed harmlessly into the trees beyond. French troops then opened a crashing fire by platoon on the British lines. Perhaps due to frayed nerves, their volleys, too, were poorly aimed and did little damage. Johnson's men then returned fire.
An alarmed Dieskau had noticed the paralyzing effect the sound of Eyre's guns had had on the irregulars, particularly his Indian allies. Another such barrage might send them running. Standing near the front of the white-coated formation, the French general drew his sword and cried out, "March! Let us force the place!" The baron had barely taken a step, however, when a musket ball struck him in the leg. His second-in-command, Lt. Col. Pierre-André Gohin, Comte de Montreuil, who had also been wounded, urged the general to retire, but Dieskau would have none of it. Montreuil was cleansing out the general's wound with brandy when two more balls hit the baron, in the right knee and left hip. A third ball smacked into Montreuil's cartridge box.
For the aggressors the situation was becoming perilous. While the fire from the Rhode Island and Connecticut regiments in front of them was galling enough, Eyre's gunners had finally found the range and, according to one witness "made lanes, streets and alleys" through the French formation. With his losses mounting and finding it impossible to advance in order, Dieskau ordered his men to disperse into the woods on either side of the road.
By that point the Canadians and Indians on the French left had reached the tree line in front of Johnson's encampment and opened fire from concealment on the British lines. A deadly game of hide-and-shoot took hold over the next few hours, the opposing marksmen exposing themselves only an instant in order to fire, then ducking behind whatever cover was available to reload their muskets. One Massachusetts soldier described the fight as "nothing but thunder and lightning and perpetual pillars of smoke," while another claimed the gunfire roared uninterrupted for hours, the bullets humming past his ears like hailstones.
By 4 p.m. the rate of French fire had diminished, as most of the Canadians and Indians had seen enough and returned to where they'd left their packs at the site of Williams' ambush. Unable to move, the thrice-wounded Dieskau had ordered Montreuil to take command. On being shot once more by a wary enemy scout, the baron was carried into the British camp a prisoner.
There was nothing left for Montreuil to do but order his drummers to beat the retreat. While Johnson's badly shaken force was in no condition to interfere with the French withdrawal, Montreuil's men did run into a 120-man detachment of British soldiers sent out from Fort Edward under Capt. Nathaniel Folsom, a future American general. The forces skirmished near the site of Williams' ambush for a few hours before the more numerous French broke off the engagement and set out for South Bay. By September 10 Montreuil's men were back at Ticonderoga.
While the French had suffered somewhat fewer casualties, the British claimed victory, because they held the field at the end of the day. Dieskau, who would recover from his wounds and return home at war's end in 1763, had plenty of time to brood over how so much could go from right to wrong in a single campaign. He had improvised on the fly and inflicted a major defeat on the British. Not satisfied with this, however, he had attacked an entrenched army, one that not only outnumbered him but also was largely rested and ready. It was a gamble against long odds, but true to his family crest Dieskau had cast the die—and lost.
For his part, Johnson had divided his army in front of an unknown enemy, walked into an ambush and managed to avoid annihilation only out of dumb luck, yet he was hailed as "a second Marlborough for coolness of head and warmness of heart." In appreciation, King George II made him a baronet, and Parliament presented him with £5,000 as a token of thanks. His badly shaken men, who spent the days after battle burying close to 200 compatriots, did not necessarily share this view of victory.
Although defeated, Dieskau had accomplished his task. The battle had broken the colonial army's spirit, and Johnson knew it. As the autumn rains set in, it became clear there would be no attack on Fort Saint-Frédéric. Instead, the British at Lake George spent the remaining months before winter erecting Fort William Henry, while the French at Ticonderoga built Fort Carillon. The respective armies retired to winter quarters in late November, but it was certain they would be back at each other's throats come spring.
Michael C. Laramie is the author of three books on the military history of colonial North America. For further reading he recommends his own The European Invasion of North America, as well as The Battle of Lake George, by William R. Griffith IV, and The Life and Times of Sir William Johnson, Bart, by William L. Stone.

Commvault buys software-defined storage provider for $225m
US-based data protection and information management software company, Commvault today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire software-defined storage provider, Hedvig, for total consideration of $225 million, which includes the purchase price and ongoing employee retention.
Commvault points out that Gartner expects that by 2023, software-defined storage instantiations of vendor storage operating systems running in the cloud will become the dominant method of building multi cloud storage infrastructures.
This move to cloud, and multi cloud environments, together with cloud native applications is driving competitive advantage for companies for all sizes; yet the acceleration of data fragmentation is negatively impacting business outcomes, the company says.
It adds that this rapid data growth, generated from a variety of sources stored both within on-premises environments and in the cloud will continue to create significant governance, security and management challenges.
"This acquisition demonstrates how Commvault is leading the way towards the intersection of storage and data management," says Sanjay Mirchandani, Commvault CEO. "We believe joining Hedvig's innovative software defined storage capabilities with Commvault's industry leading data protection reduces fragmentation and leapfrogs other solutions in the market."
Commvault notes that Hedvig drives operational efficiency, addresses the data sovereignty problems stemming from data governance laws, and enables hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud capabilities natively.
Operational efficiency is achieved via complete protocol consolidation (block, file, and object storage) on a single platform.
"Being completely software-based, the Hedvig platform can span multiple data centres across multiple physical geographies including disparate cloud environments," according to Avinash Lakshman, Hedvig CEO.
"This may be the most comprehensive solution ever unleashed into enterprise data centers and public cloud environments."
Hedvig was founded in 2012 by Avinash Lakshman, the inventor of Apache Cassandra and one of the inventors of Amazon Dynamo.
The proposed acquisition is expected to close in Commvault's fiscal third quarter, subject to certain closing conditions.
"Hedvig's technology is in its prime. It has been market tested and proven. We believe that the convergence of storage, multi cloud, and cloud native technologies, combined with our leadership in data management will accelerate the movement towards modern applications built on containers and microservices. Commvault will set the bar for the unification of storage and data management for the future," Mirchandani concludes.

Well, I didn't have any secrets out--well, maybe one..? can't remember--but I have multiple secrets. One of each type. And it only drew five.
What's up with that? Is it a bug, or are they going to change the card to read: "Battlecry: Put up to five Secrets from your deck into the battlefield."???

Clevedon 10 pts Weston 19 ptsWESTON were reduced to 12 players during the second half of this match at Coleridge Vale, but they managed to hang on to their nine point advantage to produce their 14th win of the season in South West 1.As Clevedon were striving for a desperately needed score, three visiting players were yellow carded by referee Stuart Turner.Alec Chase, Matthew McQuaid and Mike Lowis were all sent to the sin bin for various offences, but Weston kept their nerve, and, having scored three tries to one, their victory was just about deserved.The hosts started strongly with Jeff Durrant's charge from a line-out but Dan Hawkes was unable to convert a 25 metre penalty, and by the time the match was 15 minutes old, Weston had scored twice.Good work by McQuaid and James Reid gave a corner try to Matthew Burns and two minutes later, the 19-year-old wing was on hand to take full advantage of a fortuitous bounce to score at the posts.Reid converted the second but Neil Tucker's pack kept Clevedon on the offensive for Hawkes to kick a 38 metre penalty for an interval scoreline of 3-12.Home centres Ashley Vailes and Tom Thie were keeping Weston's defence occupied but a fumbled pass gave Paul Sprague the chance to run 50 metres to the line for a crucial try which Reid converted.But, aided by some wayward Weston kicking, Clevedon applied pressure, and the visitors' yellow cards were punished with John Pearce's try, Hawkes converting.Weston increased their efforts in the final quarter and could have added to their score, but in a match highlighted by poor goal kicking, Reid was unable to convert any of his four penalty attempts.Clevedon: S Johnson, B Ford, A Vailes, T Thie, S Johns, D Hawkes, D Filby, N Tucker, J Morgan, J Pearce, J Durrant, N Bridle, W McMillan, B Stone, S Barnes (T Lisney 57 mins).

The medical science that documents the value of exercise during pregnancy is vast. Study results indicate regular exercise minimizes the musculoskeletal discomforts that come with advancing pregnancy, improves quality of sleep, minimizes pregnancy weight gain, and even shortens labor. A new study brings even happier news - that regular exercise during pregnancy improves a woman's mood. It also gives her energy levels a boost. Additional studies indicate as many as 75% of women remain inactive during pregnancy.
This most recent study, the findings of which are published in the July 2013 online issue of the medical journal, Psychology & Health, involved 56 women who were, on average, 30 years old and at week 22.5 of their pregnancies. Each woman was inactive before the study.
Each study participant agreed to a 30-minute physical workout four times a week for four weeks. Their physical activity levels were monitored with accelerometers as their workouts varied from moderate to vigorous levels of activity.
To assess psychological well-being at the beginning of the study, each woman completed two questionnaires - the Profile of Mood States Short Form and the State Trait Anxiety Scale Trait version. Trait anxiety represents a lingering form of anxiety that lasts a long time; shorter bouts of anxiety are identified medically as states of anxiety. The psychological assessment was repeated after the four-week exercise period.
After four weeks of exercise at the recommended level, the women reported significant decreases in feelings of:
- Depression
- Anger
- Tension
- Fatigue
- Trait anxiety
They also noted significant increases in vigor. Participants who did not maintain the prescribed level of physical activity during the study did not enjoy the benefits of the exercise program as those who did comply fully.
The research team, led by Anca Gaston and Harry Prapavessis of the University of Western Ontario, Canada, notes that although postpartum depression is widely recognized in the general population, the rate of depression during pregnancy is actually higher. Feelings of fatigue and anxiety are also more common during pregnancy than after. Psychological distress during pregnancy can negatively impact the pregnancy.
This study and others confirm the value of exercise, especially during pregnancy, but caution is advised when undertaking a new physical regimen. Do advise your healthcare team any time a new fitness program is being considered, especially if pregnant. Some activities recommended for expectant mothers include walking, swimming, cycling, and low-impact aerobics for 30 minutes or more during most days of the pregnancy.

Okay, I actually knew that. But I thought maybe you'd be surprised to hear it. No? And, as I mentioned to the clerk at London Drugs the other day when my purchase was $3 less than I expected, some surprises are better than others.
Some of my favorite surprises this week?

My wife and I are currently in the process of building a new home. We have plans of moving into a neighborhood we love, into a house that we had the chance to design from the ground up. For me, my greatest concern is having to mow the lawn every week, but my wife has another worry. She has been losing sleep over the fact that she has no idea how to set her closet up. Perhaps it's a typical concern for women, or perhaps my wife is just over thinking things, but she literally has thrown out dozens of ideas for shelving systems, and none of them have seemed to meet her needs. That may have just changed though, with the introduction of an open source 3D printable design called Moidules.
Moidules are the brainchild of Milla Niskakoski, a Finnish design student currently working toward her master's degree in product design in Seoul, South Korea. She apparently also has experienced the fright and terror of having to set up shelves in a closet…or bedroom…or garage…or anywhere else that requires custom storage.
"I've been always a very hands-on person in design and I love making stuff and DIY," Niskakoski tells 3DPrint.com. "If I can make it, I don't need to buy it. That's why many of my design projects originate from a personal need for something. That's also how the Moidules project started. I live a tiny apartment in the city centre of Seoul and I wanted to design it as functional as possible to make it feel bigger and organised. I needed a very special sized shelf to make use of the space between the sink and the fridge. I could have just screwed some pieces of MDF together but I wanted to make it more interesting and got the idea of 3D-printable moidules."
So the idea was there for custom, modular 3D printed shelving, but the tricky part was designing all of the elements. Luckily for Niskakoski, she had become very familiar with 3D printing as a graduate student. She started out printing her first Moidules and then played around with their dynamics a bit. After creating several prototypes and designs, she found the perfect size that she thought would work best. As one will notice, Modidules are quite massive when compared to other available shelving modules on the market. There is actually a reason for this.
"Firstly, as they have more surface to grab the boards you don't really need any glue or screws to make the shelf sturdy," Niskakoski tells us. "Secondly, I wanted to emphasize the 3D printed parts instead of trying to hide them. As interesting as it is to have your bookshelf 3D printed I wanted them to get the spotlight in the visuals of the assembled system."
So far Niskakoski has created six different Moidules which are all free to download on Thingiverse. These include a corner piece, side piece, middle piece, and 3 different leg pieces. They allow for anyone with a 3D printer or access to a 3D printer to create shelving that meets their exact needs. Niskakoski compares them to LEGOs, and that may just be the perfect comparison. She actually designed them with hopes of cutting down much of the manufacturing process required for typical shelves that people buy at the store.
"Modular shelving systems have been around for decades, so I'm not claiming that Moidules are a new groundbreaking design," she explains. "But what is new in this is the way they are delivered to the final consumer. An ordinary bookshelf is first designed by a designer, then produced in a factory and shipped to a distribution centre. Next it's shipped to the store which can be on the other side of the world. There, the final user finally buys the bookshelf and gets it delivered to their home. Sometimes the bookshelf might have traveled around the world before standing in your living room. This consumes a lot of natural resources. 3D printers allow us to skip all the shipping and jump directly from a designer to the final consumer. This is ground breaking and is the future of designer-consumer relationship."
Moidules don't require any glue or screws, thus making assembly and disassembly a breeze. They can work quite nicely with both small and medium sized installations, and can be used with MDF, plywood, or other typical shelving materials. With tall bookshelves, Niskakoski recommends adding in an X-shaped supporting structure to the back of the shelf to make it more stable.
Niskakoski hopes to further the development of Moidules as soon as she gets some more time. However, she also wants to see others innovate upon her deign to create new Moidules and advance the system further.
"I felt like Moidules were too good to keep for myself so I decided to share them with the rest of the world. I worked a bit on branding and images to make Moidules something more special and attractive," she tells us. "I'm waiting to see pictures of assembled Moidules bookshelves from around the world, in new colours and new designs, and I hope other designers get inspired, create and share accessories and new types of Moidules to let the project I started [begin to] have a life of its own."
I know for sure, that I will certainly be building some shelves for my wife when we finally move into our new home. I have run the idea by her, and she seems very intrigued. What do you think about this intuitively designed shelving system?

I've been a little off my game just recently having undergone major surgery. For those who may have noticed my absense, I am easing myself back slowly. Whilst lying in bed reading this morning, I came across this in a favourite book that I keep by my bedside. The book is called Simple Abundance and is by Sarah Ban Breathnach The heading above is the title of the chapter upon which I opened the book.
"Whenever I prepare to write, I have a carefully crafted ritual of comfort that eases me into creating. I work from my bed with a fresh pot of tea on my bedside table and a beautiful tape of piano nocturnes playing softly in the background. Next to me is a new spiral notebook and cup full of my favo{u}rite pens, along with a revered pile of dog-eared books. You see, I am not alone but in the company of my circle of saints – beloved women writers – each of whom has an authentic voice and a special message for me. I savo{u}r the work of their hands, hearts, and minds once again to get my own creative juices flowing."
It got me thinking about the types of things I do to prepare for creativity. Because I love what I do, it is never a problem for me to spend hours in my craft room, but what is it that really inspires? I know that the kitchen must be clear and tidy. The cats must be fed and quietly sleeping in their chosen warm spot for the day. I must of course, be showered and dressed (someone might knock on the door). Just being in my craftroom provides the feeling of comfort when I know I have several hours to spend doing what I love.
What inspires you? How do you prepare to create? Do you, like Sarah, need your favourite cup and a pot of tea, or do you just wade in and get started hoping inspiration comes?
Leave a comment and go into the draw to receive a pack of paper crafting materials.

Pet owners mourn their pets more than a friend because when you need someone, pets are always there and losing them is very painful. Pets do not argue or judge you, rather they show their emotions using gestures and sounds. Furthermore, pets become part of their owner's family and perform almost every activity with them. So, you can imagine why the passing of a pet is as real and acute as losing a family member.
Pet urns help pet owners deal with the loss of their pet and come in different material, sizes and designs which hold the ashes of cremated pets. Wood urns are made from solid wood or composite material and have wood finishing of maple, oak, cherry etc and comes in different shapes. Moreover, stone pet urns are carved from jade, marble onyx and granite. The stone used in these urn gives it a unique pattern and colour which makes it stand out.
Lastly, other pet urns material include ceramic, cultured, and metal, however, the metal urns are made from brass, bronze, pewter, copper and aluminium. They come in different style and sizes so owners can choose the size and style that will perfectly house their pet ashes and also serve as a memento.

Idiopathic periodontal disease, periodontal tumor
Idiopathic periodontal disease
For idiopathic (no clear origin) of periodontal disease include a number of common diseases of various origins, in the clinical course of which one of the permanent symptoms is bystroprogressiruyuschee generalized periodontal lesion.
Common clinical signs of idiopathic (without a clear origin) of periodontal disease following:
- steady progression of the processes expressed by the destruction of periodontal tissues (gingiva, periodontal bone), for 2-3 years leading to tooth loss
- rapidly growing displacement and loosening of teeth
- original X-ray picture
The role of the therapist-dentist during examination and treatment of patients with idiopathic (not a clear origin) periodontal diseases is reduced to establish a presumptive diagnosis, referral to a specialist appropriate profile (maxillofacial surgeon), and in the future - holding symptomatic therapy.
Parodontomas include tumors and periodontitis tumor formation.
Periodontal tumor
By parodontomam include tumors and tumor formation periodontitis. Their diagnosis and treatment involved a dental surgeon. The role of the therapist-dentist in the case of diagnosis parodontomy is setting the preliminary diagnosis and referral to appropriate health-care (Maxillofacial Surgery) for examination and treatment.

Hey Mercy Street family,
We love you. We miss you. We are ready to regather. However, covid has other plans.
I am postponing our regathering at this time. We will NOT gather in person this Saturday. After consulting the lead doctor at Houston Methodist and our Chapelwood regathering taskforce, we are taking precautions to "do no harm." For the next several weeks we will worship online. Form a Group+Church with 2-3 others in our community. Zoom groups will continue. Be on the look-out for an in-person tailgate and communion sometime in July. I know how hard it is to endure this roller coaster of uncertainty. The weariness of these days compounds in our muscles, scatters our thoughts and shortens each breath. Let me encourage you to join us online for a word of hope. I'll be preaching this Saturday from the Lord's Prayer.
I draw strength from these words in Galatians 6:9-10.
Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in. So then, while we [as individual believers] have the opportunity, let us do good to all people [not only being helpful, but also doing that which promotes their spiritual well-being], and especially [be a blessing] to those of the household of faith.
May Peace find you, surround you and sustain you.
Loved you are,
Beginning July 15, join us on the third Wednesday of each month for Commuion Tailgate in the Fairhaven parking lot at 7:00PM. Bring your own food and will provide communion.
Mercy Street creates a safe harbor of hope and transformation, so all may experience the radical grace of God!
The Mercy Street Community forms a beautiful mosaic of people diverse in our experiences and background, but common in our desire to seek a closer relationship with God and with each other. Whether you have faith, struggle with your faith, or have lost faith, Mercy Street opens its doors to people seeking a spiritual community.

This contest was a blast! We got to read some truly original, sincere, and funny answers, and we're happy to choose Laura as our contest winner - her answer reminded us of why we created the watch in the first place.
Birmingham, MI (PRWEB) December 08, 2013
SwimovateUSA, in collaboration with Gametiime, recently ended their contest that gave swimmers and athletes around the country the chance to win a revolutionary Swimovate PoolMate watch. SwimovateUSA is the original creator of lap-counting watches for triathletes and swimmers, and Gametiime is a website that is quickly becoming the online hub for swimmers and triathletes to locate, plan, and sign-up for race events and triathlons.
The contest involved having entrants participate by tweeting their best reason as to why they need a lap counting watch in the pool. The winner was a woman named Laura from California. Kevin Qian, Marketing Director at SwimovateUSA said of the contest: "This contest was a blast! We got to read some truly original, sincere, and funny answers, and we're happy to choose Laura as our contest winner - her answer reminded us of why we created the watch in the first place."
Please visit either company's blog for more information and to stay up to date on new promotions and contests.
About SwimovateUSA:
SwimovateUSA is the U.S. division of Swimovate, based in the U.K. The company was formed by a triathlon-loving couple who felt that there was no good training tool on the market for swimmers to count laps, and in just a couple years, PoolMate watches have become a standard in swim training technology. While it is copied by many, Swimovate is still the original makers, and is still owned by swimmers, made for swimmers. For more information, please visit http://swimovateusa.com.
About Gametiime:

Understanding the dental patient's decision-making process
Dentistry isn't quite like any other consumer product or service and as such we must take time to understand things from the patient's perspective.
Although developed back in the 1960's, the classic stages of the purchase decision-making process are still relevant today as it is important to consider all stages of the process and not just the purchase phase.
Problem awareness/need recognition
Recognition of a need by a consumer can be caused by internal or external stimuli, for example toothache is an internal physiological need felt by a patient whereas exposure to an advert for teeth whitening seen in the waiting room is an external stimuli.
Needs can also be classified as functional or social and perhaps the best model to illustrate this is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. The theory is that the lower level needs must be obtained before progressing to the next level.
Information search
This is where the patient will 'shop' around in order to find a provider which they feel can fulfil their needs. This search will include:
• Online – search, individual practice websites, directory listings, social media pages
• Word-of-mouth recommendations and influencers
• Practice marketing – speaking to team members, printed literature
At this stage the patient will look at all of the options available and apply their own 'criteria' with which to appraise each option.
For instance, if someone is suffering with tooth pain, part of their criteria will include – which practice can see me ASAP, whereas for a patient who is considering a smile-makeover, part of their criteria may be concerned with how much confidence and trust they have in a dentist.
This is the final choice of what to purchase and from whom. This decision will depend on the information obtained from the previous steps based on the perceived value, product/service features and capabilities that the purchaser deems important.
However, at this stage, purchasers can be swayed by offers, promotions and discounts and also influenced by personnel. For instance, a new patient may have made their decision to sign up to your practice but when they get to the practice a receptionist who is despondent and surly with them will put them off and change their decision.
Post-purchase evaluation
Once the buyer has 'consumed' the product/service they then take time to digest whether or not they feel that the product or service did in actual fact fulfil their wants and needs and whether their expectations were exceeded, met or, not so.
Post-purchase dissonance, also referred to as 'buyer's remorse' is when a consumer feels a sense of guilt or fear that they made the wrong choice. This is particularly prevalent with large, more expensive purchases.
Positive influence
Depending on which treatment/service a patient is deciding on, will dictate how quickly they move through the decision-making process above.
When considering a patient's journey with your dental practice, it is important to remember that the patient may not necessarily be the decision maker and ultimate purchaser. It is often the female head of the household who conducts the research and books dental appointments and treatments for the rest of the family.
The role of marketing is to provide patients with information in order to help them move their way through the decision making process. Ensure that you are considering things from the patient's point of view and not yours. Try to be benefit-focused and not too technical; striking a balance between appealing to a rational and emotional view point.
The key is to establish trust and loyalty, to help patients make their own decisions, not to push them and 'sell hard' akin to a used-car salesman! It may be that patients need more time to make a decision so make sure that you have an efficient follow-up procedure in place. You may wish to read our blog on effective follow–ups here.

Not all retirees want to spend their golden years sitting around and watching the time pass by. Many seniors look for ways to work, either for financial reasons or because they're not ready to give it up. While working after retirement comes with benefits, it can be difficult to get a 9-to-5 job as a senior, and most seniors aren't attracted to the idea anyway. That's where starting a home-based business comes in.
Running a business from home can provide seniors with the flexibility they deserve, and it's a great way of making a concentrated use of particular skills and knowledge developed over the course of a long career. Plus, it often doesn't take a lot of capital to start a home-based business, and it can accommodate those with limited mobility. If you're a senior who wants to keep working, here are three tips for opening your own business from the comfort of your own home:
1. Make a plan
One of the first things to do when starting a home-based business is to come up with a solid game plan. This plan includes making a checklist of actions to take that will help your business get up and running:
● Determine what your business will be, including the name, products/services offered, and branding ideas.
● Research industry trends and potential competitors so that you can strategize how to set your company apart.
● Write out a three- to five-year plan of steps you will take to open and grow your business.
● Estimate the startup costs, and decide how you will finance the company. Will you use cash, take out a loan from the bank, borrow from friends and family, or use multiple methods of financing?
● Register your business name if necessary.
● Apply for any licenses and permits you need.
Once you map out these tasks, you can start with the fun stuff, like developing your products and/or services, planning how to bring them to life, and determining how to market and promote them.
2. Consider freelance
If you would rather work alone, grow at your own pace, and skip many of the financial and legal paperwork and loopholes that come with being a small business owner, going freelance may be the thing for you. Even if you want to start a small business, freelance work can be a good starting point. Fortunately, finding a freelance job that lines up with your knowledge, skills and experience is pretty seamless if you use a job board like Upwork, which works to connect businesses with freelancers who best fit the project. What's more, Upwork also allows you to chat and share files, either through your PC or mobile device.
3. Try your passion
When you're starting any kind of business, it's important to discover what your passion is. If you're doing something you're passionate about each day, it will motivate you to stay focused and pursue your goals over the long term. For some, this may be the easy part. Perhaps you've always loved giving advice to people on diet, exercise, and decision-making, and you've garnered experience and knowledge over the years; perhaps now is your chance to try your hand at being a life coach/mentor. Maybe you've pursued your passion through a hobby like woodworking or sewing for the last 30 years; consider selling your items through sites like Etsy and eBay.
For others, their passion may not be as clear. That's OK. Spend some time thinking about something you can envision yourself doing on a daily basis and that you would find fulfilling. Then, turn that idea into a game plan so that you can give it a good shot.
Starting a home-based business can be a great way to spend your golden years. Remember to develop a strong game plan, look into freelance work, and pursue what you're passionate about. Running your own business can bring joy to everyday life and give you the opportunity to accomplish new goals, and it will be more enjoyable if you plan and prepare.

November 11, 2017
Written by Krishan Banwait (class of 2017-2018)
First, I would like to thank Lucy and the amazing OR staff for the opportunity to observe surgeries and learn about how the OR functions. I learned a lot and I am eager to return for future surgery observations. I observed two surgeries, the first involved the insertion of a screw into an elbow joint, and the second involved the removal of a gallbladder.
In the first surgery I entered at around 11:15am for the start of the surgery and watched as a team (two nurses, a nurse anesthetist, an anesthesiologist, and an orthopedic surgeon attempted to calm an 89-year-old man. The man spoke Mandarin and had dementia. One of the nurses attempted to translate what the team members wanted to communicate to the patient since she was the only Mandarin-speaker in the room. The patient was very uncomfortable and due to his weak heart he had an ongoing myocardial infarction (blocked blood flow to the heart). The team decided not to intubate the patient, since this would increase his chances of death. Instead they sedated him and covered him with the blue sheets (which indicate sterile areas) and then created a hole for his right arm to go through the sheet so they could operate on it. In addition, they had already inserted a urine catheter (to gather his urine and avoid him accidentally emptying his bladder) before I entered the operating room.
The patient's right elbow was badly cut and skin was torn off the back of his right hand. The surgeon at first considered doing a skin graft by taking skin from his left calf, but decided it was not necessary and could create a higher risk of complications. Thus, the surgeon did two things: 1) physically pick out any debris in the back of the hand and in the elbow area and 2) inserted a screw in the elbow since the bone had been damaged.
After painstakingly removing every small fragment that could be found the surgeon drilled a thin hole in the patient's right elbow into the humerus bone and then inserted a single 7 mm screw. The surgeon used a thin drill bit and tools that a carpenter would use. After he finished inserting the screw, the doctor took an x-ray to test that the screw was in the proper place and the humerus was not damaged. Next, the surgeon sutured up the elbow with three long pieces of thin wire and used water to wet plaster wrap and create a cast. The reason for using plaster was because the cast would adhere to the sutures better than alternative materials. The plaster cast was meant to be temporary, thus fiberglass was not a good material to use. After finishing the cast, the doctor wrapped an ACE bandage around it.
The anesthesiologist and nurse anesthetist laced a central line (or central venous catheter) into the patient's neck vein. They had me read out to the nurse anesthetist when the computer monitor's readings dropped below 300 mL/minute, since her view of the monitor was blocked while she helped the anesthesiologist place the central line. A reading below 300mL/minute indicated catheter dysfunction. After placing the central line, a nurse noticed the patient had dentures and his lower ones were coming loose. Thus, the nurse pulled the lower ones out and put them in a container.
I joined the nurses and nurse anesthetist when they walked the patient over to the ICU. I watched for about 10 minutes just outside the room as a group of doctors and nurses from the ICU rushed into the room to learn about the patient, monitor his vitals, and decide what to do next. They also decided they would remove his upper dentures, which were firmly stuck in his mouth.
One good piece of advice- you will find the booties and hair covering in boxes in front of the administrative office on the right after you enter the first double doors into the operating room area (just past the OR board, which lists the surgeries and is located on the left of the hallway right after passing the first double doors). In the men's locker room (and likely the women's too) you can put all your items in your backpack and leave it on chairs in the locker room (other backpacks were there) since the lockers may all be full and locked. Plus, you can hang up a jacket, if you bring one, on the hooks besides the locker. Do not forget to grab your jacket before you leave, like I did. My jacket was still hanging on the hook when I returned two days later, (so you should be fine if you accidentally leave something in the locker room for a couple days).
In addition, do not forget to grab a face mask (you can use the pink-colored/clear droplet masks that are also stocked in the SDU and Med-Surg departments). They are located just outside the operating rooms, at the sink attached to the main hallway, (before you turn right in the hallway to go towards OR #1 and #2). These droplet masks will provide a clear plastic visor that protects your eyes, and are recommended although most of the staff will likely wear the yellow-colored masks that only cover the mouth area. If any x-rays are taken, remember to grab some lead-containing vests that have Velcro straps and wrap around your chest. They are necessary to limit the effects of radiation. (They are more bulky and heavy duty compared to the typical vests you wear in a dentist's office when you get your teeth x-rayed and can be found outside OR #2 in the hallway. Do not grab one that has a doctor's name printed on it).
The second surgery involved the removal of a gallbladder. I walked into the operation in OR #2 in the middle of the operation. It was a laparoscopic surgery and involved three small holes made in the patient, two holes were for tools and the last hole was for a small camera that snaked in on a thin, long wire. One of the two tools inserted had a clip on the end that held a piece of tissue away from the gallbladder so the camera had a clear vision of sight and the gallbladder could easily be accessed by the second tool. The second tool was a hook (a bent tool that had nearly a right angle) that was used to pull at loose tissue of the gallbladder and it also created a heated spark that would burn tissue and create a small stream of smoke. The hook tool was used to pick apart at damaged gallbladder tissue with the aim to create several holes in the gallbladder to help slowly break down the organ and create easy removal.
The surgical team inserted metal clips that held sections of the gallbladder together. There was a damaged thin line on the gallbladder that resembled bacon. The line was brown/white and looked dried/crusty. The team was working to separate the gallbladder from the liver to aid in removing of the gallbladder without damaging the liver. It was interesting to see the different organs and the similar reddish/orange color that each of them had. I watched the surgery for about one hour and did not get to see it finish, but I was very intrigued by the meticulous, slow process that involved using small tools to slowly snip away at the relatively large organ. It was also interesting since there were two monitors showing the same camera image and a few residents that were discussing the steps of the surgery with the attending and the chief resident.

Atherosclerosis Risk Assessment in individuals
Atherosclerosis is a disease in which the inside of an artery narrows due to the build-up of plaque. Initially, there are generally no symptoms. When severe, it can result in coronary artery disease, stroke, peripheral artery disease, or kidney problems, depending on which arteries are affected. Symptoms, if they occur, generally do not begin until middle age.
Prevention is generally by eating a healthy diet, exercising, not smoking, and maintaining a normal weight. Treatment of established disease may include medications to lower cholesterol such as statins, blood pressure medication, or medications that decrease clotting, such as aspirin. A number of procedures may also be carried out such as percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass graft, or carotid endarterectomy.
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Therapy is an open access peer-reviewed published by IMedPub LTD, scientific journal that aims to publish the latest and outstanding Research articles, reviews, and letters in the field of Cardiovascular Diseases to provide rapid and reliable source of information on current discoveries and current developments in the field of cardiovascular Diseases.
We aim to publish cardiovascular research which covers a wide variety of specialties such as: Coronary Heart disease, Stroke, Atherosclerosis, Heart Attack, Heart arrhythmia, Ischemic Stroke, Coronary Atherosclerosis, Aortic aneurysms, intracranial atherosclerosis etc.

text: Pete Collard, curator of the Design Museum, said one of his favourites was a design for a wedge-shaped package containing medical supplies which fits exactly into the spaces between Coca Cola bottles when they are delivered in plastic crates. The ColaLife design enables life-saving medicines such as anti-diarrhoea kits to be delivered in developing countries at no extra delivery cost by "piggybacking" on Coke deliveries. Simon Berry, who invented the packaging, said: "How can it be right that Coca-Cola reaches remote rural villages in Africa, yet simple lifesaving medicines for children don't? Instead of blaming Coke, we studied its success: you can get a product or service to anywhere in the world if you make it affordable."
