Body in NYC, mind in Nepal
I'm sitting in an East Village cafe, watching the corner grocery try to array produce in an attempt at a "harvest season" display. Somewhere, outside of Manhattan's concrete canyons, leaves are changing colour, chrysanthemums are blooming and roadside stands are setting out sheaves of Indian corn and piles of pumpkins. And all over Nepal, it's Dasain time - the nine-day festival dedicated to goddess Durga, in her local Nepali incarnation as Taleju Bhavani.
The narrow streets of Kathmandu's old town are crammed with shoppers buying holiday gifts, and all the accoutrement required for a Nepali Hindu holiday (special food, sweets, and lots and lots of marigolds). All this under a blazingly blue sky - weatherwise, it's the perfect season to be in Nepal.
This nine-day goddess festival ("Navratri") is celebrated throughout the Hindu world, taking on local characteristics in each region. In Maharashtra (India), the holiday is called Dussehra, marked by glowing paper lanterns. Mysore (in Karnataka, near Bangalore) has its famous Dasara procession complete with elephants, a palace glowing with oil lamps and fairy lights, and the descendant of the former Maharajahs presiding. On most every street corner in Calcutta, you will find pandals (platforms with decorated deity statues) for Durga, with ceremonies and devotional music ongoing throughout the holiday, till the clay statues are submerged in the Hooghly river on the tenth and final day. In the Kullu Valley of Himachal Pradesh, the local goddesses are brought down from their respective temples and paraded on palanquins through the town.
Nepalis having a genius for time-warping, the nine days and nights of Dasain magically extend to two weeks, even a month in some cases. Workers who have migrated from their remote villages to larger towns to find employment are packed onto rickety buses, crossing dusty and bumpy roads to make the pilgrimage home for the festival. For many, is their one chance in the year to see their family and the old home place. When a Nepali waiter, for instance, takes leave from his job to go home for Dasain, he returns whenever he returns - between over-capacity buses, unreliable vehicles, transport strikes and poor road conditions, he can't guarantee a definite date of return. Most Nepali businesses are bound (by tradition as well as the powerful Maoist-led labour unions) to give each employee a full month's salary as Dasain bonus.
Most Nepalis don't consider their Dasain complete without the sacrifice of a goat. In a traditional Hindu town like Bhaktapur, every house will have blood on the doorstep from the sacrifice, usually done on the ninth day of Navami.
As a visitor to Nepal, Dasain can be frustrating - transportation is crammed full, shops open and close erratically, most government offices (including those for trekking permits) are closed, and tourist restaurants and many hotels are running on a skeleton crew. The best way to spend Dasain is to relax, forget your goals and travel checklist, befriend some Nepalis and get invited to their home. You will enjoy the traditional foods, and receive the blessings of tikka and jamara from the family elders.
Don't forget to bring a present (almost anything is appreciated, but sweets are always appropriate), visibly relish the food that is served, and demonstrate real interest in the holiday and its traditions. For all the breathtaking mountain vistas, everyday life in Nepal is marked by simple pleasures and of course, the ever-present Nepali smile.

When neglected for long periods of time, cars may act out by sleeping in the street and consorting with tractors. Give your car attention while you're away with today's Groupon: for $11, you get three days of valet or self-parking at A1 Express Airport Parking (up to a $24 value). The facility runs a complimentary shuttle service to Tampa International Airport that takes about five minutes.
A1 Express Airport Parking's towering five-floor car citadel stores voyagers' vehicles safely during trips as staff members provide numerous helpful services to ease the stresses of travel. Clients can park in the spacious vehicle hotel personally or leave their keys in the hands of a trusty valet to nestle into one of more than 1,200 spaces complete with oil-filled minibars. A friendly staff member then helps to load any luggage onto the 15-passenger shuttle, which transports fliers to curbside check-in in roughly five minutes. The 24-hour facility is fully access-controlled, well lit, and patrolled by a security team, ensuring peace of mind for owners and constant bedtime stories for vehicles scared of the dark. Staffers can also assist with motor maladies upon a customer's return, such as fixing flat tires or jumping dead batteries.

Panasonic G3 vs GX1
Join ePHOTOzine for free and remove these adverts.
Quote: but what differentiates the four Panasonic lines - G GF GH and GX? In other words
I've put a video comparing the G3 and GH2 here . I had a quick look at a GX-1 and it's a lovely camera but for me the G3 is a better buy because of its excellent EVF. I had a GF1 which I really liked but I don't like using the LCD finder for everything, so I fitted the accessory EVF to it. The thing is, with that fitted, its size is little different form the G3.
I'd say, therefore, that if you are happy working with the rear screen, the GX1 is that bit smaller which is handy. But if you like to have an eye level finder, the GX1 with that will be a lot more expensive then the G3 and practically speaking just as big (or small, really!).
As it stands, the GH2 is top of the line, with lots of external control like a DSLR and suited to someone who wants a lighter, smaller, outfit than their Canon/ Nikon etc. The G3 is a smaller version more suited to someone upgrading from a compact with less external control and less state of the art video. The GX1 is for someone who wants the smallest camera they can without compromising quality. The GFs are the smallest of the lot, good for someone who want better results than a compact but a slight hit on image quality because of the smaller 12mp sensor than the other three with their 16mp.

The son of an insurance salesman, David Wayne attended Western Michigan University. While working as a statistician in Cleveland, Wayne became attracted to the local theatrical activity. Auditioning for a Shakespearean repertory company, he won the role of Touchstone in As You Like It, which he performed before an audience for the first time at the 1935 Cleveland Exposition. In 1938, he made his first New York stage appearance in Escape This Night. Classified 4F at the outbreak of World War II, Wayne volunteered for the ambulance corps, subsequently serving as a Red Cross driver in North Africa. His theatrical career really began to pick up steam after the war: cast as Og the Leprechaun in the 1947 musical hit Finian's Rainbow, he became the first actor ever to win a Tony Award. The following year, he created the role of Ensign Pulver in Mister Roberts, and in 1955 he was seen as Okinawan interpreter Sakini in Teahouse of the August Moon. While all of his major stage roles went to other actors in the film versions, Wayne enjoyed a substantial movie career of his own. Though he made his screen debut in 1947's [[Feature~V38772~Portrait of Jennie~portraitofjennie]], Wayne was given "and introducing" billing in the Tracy/Hepburn comedy [[Feature~V797~Adam's Rib~adamsrib]] (1949), in which he played capricious composer Kip Lurie. After playing Joe, cartoonist Bill Mauldin's mud-caked infantryman, in Universal's [[Feature~V115276~Up Front~upfront]] (1951), Wayne spent most of his screen time at 20th Century-Fox, where, among other things, he did two co-starring stints with [[Performer~P50065~Marilyn Monroe~marilynmonroe]] (1952's [[Feature~V53686~We're Not Married~werenotmarried]], 1953's [[Feature~V23621~How to Marry a Millionaire~howtomarryamillionaire]]), played theatrical impresario Sol Hurok in [[Feature~V114066~Tonight We Sing~tonightwesing]] (1953), starred as a tragedy-plagued small-town barber in the underrated [[Feature~V115818~Wait Till the Sun Shines Nellie~waittillthesunshinesnellie]] (1953) and portrayed schizophrenic Joanne Woodward's long-suffering husband in [[Feature~V49663~Three Faces of Eve~thethreefacesofeve]] (1957). One of Wayne's co-stars during his Fox years was [[Performer~P48558~Una Merkel~unamerkel]], who once remarked "I loved David Wayne. I think he's one of the finest actors we have. He's so good they don't know what to do with him."One place where they evidently did know what to do with Wayne was television, where he worked steadily from 1948 onward. Besides playing such prominent personages as Andrew Carnegie, Mark Twain and even "Old Scratch" (in a 1961 telecast of [[Feature~V13489~The Devil and Daniel Webster~thedevilanddanielwebster]]), he appeared in classic individual episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Twilight Zone, played "special guest villain" The Mad Hatter on Batman, and was a regular on the weekly series Norby (1955), [[Feature~V136628~The Good Life~labuenavida]] (1973), [[Feature~V125277~Ellery Queen~elleryqueen]] (1975, as Inspector Queen), [[Feature~V88457~Dallas~dallas]] (1978), and [[Feature~V23331~House Calls~housecalls]] (1980). In addition, Wayne appeared with New York's Lincoln Center Repertory, and was one of the hosts of the NBC weekend radio potpourri Monitor. Curtailing his activities in the late 1980s, David Wayne retired altogether in 1993, after the death of his wife of 51 years. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

- Gamo Hornet .177 cal. Air Rifle Combo is rated 4.2 out of 5 by 13.Rated 4 out of 5 by slim jim from great shooter i bought mine because it resembles my hunting rifle also its light, accurate and just looks good. i broke the spring from carrying it cocked to long so when they say dont do it they mean it, got a new spring from vortek corp. and im back in business.Date published: 2016-01-22Rated 4 out of 5 by Matt from Good Start I bought this for my son to help him with marksmanship and gun safety. We were up and shooting in no time. I am having an issue with the scope. The windage will not correct as I adjust the scope. It will not move the pattern left. Elevation adjustments worked fine. I know the scope is not "top quality" but I would have hoped for a little better performance. I will keep trying but I think I may end up having to replace the scope. The cocking of the rifle is a bit difficult but I wouldn't let that deter you from purchasing. Would be 5 stars if I can get the scope zeroed in.Date published: 2015-12-31Rated 1 out of 5 by bassman from The gamo Hornet I bought has a is very loud, also is not accurate at all I trieddifferent brands of pellets but didn't help. the trigger is horrible.I would notrecommend this product.Date published: 2015-02-23Rated 5 out of 5 by TERRY from GreatDate published: 2014-01-09Rated 5 out of 5 by CURTIS from Dead accurate, soildly built rifle.

Flame Malware entered into self-destruction process
Flame , the new Malware used in international cyber spying, has a lot to talk over the past days, and no wonder, since it seems to be the most complex computer threat of all time. And among all the features and functions it was missing the icing on the cake, which was recently discovered: it is capable of destroying itself.
Because it has been noticed that a few hours Flame began its process of suicide, and do not say so because, since it was detected that a module within the software called suicide which came running. Pretty obvious.
Apparently this module hijacked computers downloaded from servers under the control of hackers, which eliminates the 163 files and folders that houses four malicious code. Also, delete the installer and any trace of the presence of Flame is removed from the system, then overwrite the area with random values, avoiding data recovery.
So, now that the malware was discovered removed himself seeks to protect the perpetrators, the people suspected to be associated with governments of great nations. Moreover, the threat is little known by all the utility it provides, so we could say that this self-destruction and the malware is in retreat.

There is a huge claim being levied against Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby by the attorneys representing the six Baltimore police officers facing charges ranging from misconduct to second-degree murder in the death of Freddy Gray, 25, who died as a result of injuries suffered while in police custody.
The attorneys filed a motion in court on Thursday accusing Mosby of withholding information regarding a previous attempt by Gray to injure himself while in police custody, prior to his April 12 arrest. In addition, they allege that Mosby had a "private meeting" with the medical examiner, Assistant Medical Examiner Carol Allan, who conducted Gray's autopsy prior to the report being released. The defense attorneys say that Mosby has not turned over any of that information or evidence over to them.
RELATED: Baltimore State Attorney Marilyn Mosby Got Caught Telling a HUGE Whopper
According to the Baltimore Sun, the defense stated in their motion that Mosby's office withheld "multiple witness statements from individuals who stated that Mr. Gray was banging and shaking the van at various points" after his arrest April 12, as well as "police reports, court records, and witness statements indicating that on prior occasions, Mr. Gray had fled from police and attempted to discard drugs."
Mosby's office declined to comment, but previously claimed to have given the defense all the evidence to which they were entitled.
Defense attorneys also stated that they have evidence that a prosecutor in Mosby's office went judge shopping in an effort to get a warrant for the officers' cell phones. Logs from April 7, defense attorneys say, show that Albert Peisinger, assistant Baltimore State's Attorney, contacted Baltimore Circuit judge Timothy Doory to sign off of the warrant, which had already been denied by a different judge.
This is not the first time that Mosby has been under increase criticism regarding her handling of this case. Many from both the left and right side of the political aisle were critical of the charges she brought against the police officers, believing that she overcharged them and lacked the evidence to clearly build a case. The fact that she angrily announced the charges the same morning she received the autopsy report led many to question her decision.
RELATED: Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby Just LOST Big Time, and it Reflects Her Own Stupidity
In addition, when Mosby brought charges against the officers, she claimed that Gray's arrest was unlawful because the knife he was carrying, which officers saw, was legal. The reality is, while that particular knife is legal in the state of Maryland, it is illegal in the city of Baltimore.
The trial date for the officers is set for October.
At this point do you think the officers should be suing Mosby for false allegations?

Since no one really knows anything about God, those who think they do are just troublemakers.
~ Rabia Basri, 8th-century female Sufi mystic and Muslim saint.
Thank you, D., for broaching the horrific subject of FGM, and exposing it as what it really is. I confess, this subject has been on my mind as of late - for a variety of reasons - but, I've been silenced by the magnitude of my own outrage. FMG is certainly NOT the equivalent of circumcision, and I'm glad you pointed that out.
BTW, I've recently read that this practice was actually "medically prescribed" in America and various parts of Europe as late as the 1930s.
Which leads us to this quote, purportedly from Aristotle: "If the clitoris is the seat of woman's pleasure, then away with it! Women are meant to bear children; that she should draw pleasure from the sexual act is unthinkable."
Thank you for commenting, Dia. I'm grateful that my own outrage about this subject found its voice in this post, and that perhaps that voice can speak for both of us. These things do need to be spoken out, and more than anything I feel for the wrong done to those young girls who have no power of their own to resist. It is child abuse of a particularly pernicious kind, and any adults who involve themselves in it are morally culpable. That something happens to be a part of religious tradition does not by default make it right.
The quote by Aristotle is shocking, but not so unexpected. My understanding is that, with the notable exception of the city state of Sparta, Ancient Greece treated its women as second-class citizens, and Greek women were envious of the freedoms which their Spartan counterparts enjoyed. Neither would I be surprised to learn that this practice is 'medically prescribed' here in some parts of the West even today. Male fear of female sexuality can run deep.
Excellent article and I share your outrage on all these and other instances of the world in the grip of patriarchy and the use and abuse of religion as their weapon of preference. That sign on the church door are on many churches in Europe and especially the Notre Dame de Paris and the Sacre Couer in Montmartre
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting me know about the prevalence of the church sign, Hettienne. Even those who blog on these subject do, I believe, make a difference somewhere. It's a question of raising awareness of these and other issues. Male-based religions are gender-biased, and this to me is self-serving aggrandizement which has little to do with any sincere spirituality. So I'm bound to agree with your 'weapon of preference' description!

Ideal Diodes
The key function of an ideal diode is to control the direction of current-flow. Current passing through a diode can only go in one direction, called the forward direction. Current trying to flow the reverse direction is blocked. They're like the one-way valve of electronics.
If the voltage across a diode is negative, no current can flow*, and the ideal diode looks like an open circuit. In such a situation, the diode is said to be off or reverse biased.
As long as the voltage across the diode isn't negative, it'll "turn on" and conduct current. Ideally* a diode would act like a short circuit (0V across it) if it was conducting current. When a diode is conducting current it's forward biased (electronics jargon for "on").
The current-voltage relationship of an ideal diode. Any negative voltage produces zero current – an open circuit. As long as the voltage is non-negative the diode looks like a short circuit.
Ideal Diode Characteristics | ||
Operation Mode | On (Forward biased) | Off (Reverse biased) |
Current Through | I>0 | I=0 |
Voltage Across | V=0 | V<0 |
Diode looks like | Short circuit | Open circuit |
Circuit Symbol
Every diode has two terminals – connections on each end of the component – and those terminals are polarized, meaning the two terminals are distinctly different. It's important not to mix the connections on a diode up. The positive end of a diode is called the anode, and the negative end is called the cathode. Current can flow from the anode end to the cathode, but not the other direction. If you forget which way current flows through a diode, try to remember the mnemonic ACID: "anode current in diode" (also anode cathode is diode).
The circuit symbol of a standard diode is a triangle butting up against a line. As we'll cover in the later in this tutorial, there are a variety of diode types, but usually their circuit symbol will look something like this:
The terminal entering the flat edge of the triangle represents the anode. Current flows in the direction that the triangle/arrow is pointing, but it can't go the other way.
Above are a couple simple diode circuit examples. On the left, diode D1 is forward biased and allowing current to flow through the circuit. In essence it looks like a short circuit. On the right, diode D2 is reverse biased. Current cannot flow through the circuit, and it essentially looks like an open circuit.
*Caveat! Asterisk! Not-entirely-true… Unfortunately, there's no such thing as an ideal diode. But don't worry! Diodes really are real, they've just got a few characteristics which make them operate as a little less than our ideal model…

Though I haven't come anywhere close to mastering well, any of the events, I have at least participated in them, so thought I'd jot down a few thoughts.

Hidden Garden - A Design Perspective
So a few weeks ago I posted up a bit of a story on how I stumbled across The Hidden Garden jumping puzzle, and the adventures I had in exploring it and uncovering its secrets. But as I moved about the garden, I couldn't help but notice all the little designer touches here and there that made it such an enjoyable experience. I've been a game developer for some 15 years, and though I'm not a content designer by trade, I've spent more than my share of time thinking about and building zones in games. For Atomic City Adventures, I developed four entire city zones, and then had to think about the best ways to repurpose them in such a way that made sense. Because Hidden Garden is more than a jumping puzzle - it's almost a mini-zone in and of itself, it makes a great candidate to examine some of the subtle and not-so-subtle methods designers use to assist you through the level.
Let's start with when you first enter the zone. Hidden Garden has four entrances, each one from a different location within Mount Maelstrom. All of the entrances are located on the perimeter of the zone. Regardless of which way you enter the zone, two things immediately stand out. First, there's a towering hill dominating your view, in the center of the hill.
Second, you can see at least one or two of the other entrances from where you enter the zone. So already you've been given some direction. First, the tower in the center of the zone serves as a natural focal point, inviting you to explore it. You're drawn to it because it's the most prominent feature in your view. Second, because you can see the other entrances, you can see that regardless of which portal you use to enter the zone, you're going to be presented with the same grand view.
So given the large focal point in before you, you set out to make your way to the top of that hill. Regardless of which direction you come at it from, you will encounter enemies. And some of them are possibly veterans. Now normally you might think yeah, so.. enemies. All zones have them. But it's important here, because of the way you found this area. Because you teleported here from somewhere else, and it's, well, hidden, you might suspect the rules might be a bit different here. Some jumping puzzles have platforms that disappear. Some puzzles have wind traps, all sorts of things. The thing is, the designers do like to change things around a bit for the puzzles, present you with interesting challenges, and right away you are informed that this zone has challenging foes.
So you make your way up the side of the hill, and already there's a couple of little jumps and opportunities for missteps along the way. Again, you're being informed that you need to watch your step and pay attention to the terrain. About halfway up, you encounter a lone Sylvari sitting on the tree, and just beyond her a chest.
And if you didn't see the chest, well that's okay, because she promptly tells you about it.
Instructions are not the place to be subtle, and the designers know that. Through her conversation, they pretty much tell you straight up what you need to do. You need some elemental clusters to open the chest.
And if that weren't enough, of course you're going to go over and try to open the chest anyway. And it gives you more information. You need four elemental cantles to open the chest. Now, if you're like me, you probably don't know what the hell a cantle is. But you know that it has something to do with the elements. And you passed some elementals on the way in. So at least some of what you need is likely in this zone. And you need four of them. So the first thing you do is to look about for some hint as to where to go next.
And this is key. This is a crucial point for the designer, because you want the player to feel like they're exploring and finding things on their own, but you don't want them to feel directed, but you also don't want them to feel lost. And again, the designers hit it perfectly here. Because if you turn slightly to your left.. from where you are standing, whats this? Is that a jumping puzzle leading directly away? Why yes, yes it is.
The particular stages of this puzzle are again pretty straightforward. At each point along the way it's pretty clear where you need to go next. And while none of it is particularly difficult - for instance nothing is shooting at you, and there's no traps for forces trying to blow you off the leaves like there are for some puzzles, you are afforded some dizzying views that will quicken your pulse as you make your way up.
From one side, as you gaze across the incredible vista that you are afforded, observing the beautiful waterfalls, you can clearly see the cantle of water, dancing atop some cliffs below you. And on the other side, looking across to the other side of the zone, you can clearly see the cantle of wind. And then finally, and this is most important, from where you gather the Cantle of Light, you can clearly see some diving goggles. The presence of Diving Goggles is essentially a message from the designers that it's okay to jump from here. Or at least there's a smaller chance you'll die if you jump from here. So in just a very small space, you've been told where two of the three remaining cantles are, and how to get down.
Plummeting into the water below, when you go to make your way out, there's only one way out of the pond. And though you don't know it at the time, you've been dropped into a location that is quite close to the fourth cantle - earth. All you have to do is walk around to the top of the pond, in either direction, and you'll immediately discover some earth elementals, and right next to them you'll see the Cantle of Earth.
Again, none of this is by accident. The designers have gone to great length to put you in situations where you can discover what you're looking for easily, but without just telling you directly where it is.
So where you go next doesn't matter too much, you've been given clues for both of the remaining cantles. As you stand there looking up at the very obvious Cantle of Water, you can see an opening in the back of the cliffs below the cantle - behind the waterfalls. And upon entering, you find yourself in a picturesque grotto, filled with wildlife, giant plants, and sparkling waterfalls. Now, I have to admit, I didn't pick up on the giant leaves right away. For whatever reason, unlike mushroom pads, which are clearly designed for jumping pads, the leaves to me seem like something that would give when you stand on it. But a little bit of experimentation, or perhaps another adventurer chancing by, and you quickly learn that the leaves are the key to this puzzle.
Again, making your way to the top isn't too difficult, and you're given some beautiful views along the way. At each stage it's pretty clear where to go next, and eventually you emerge at the top. There is your objective, and another breathtaking view of the zone.
All that remains now is the Cantle of Air. And you've already learned approximately where it is and on which side of the zone it is. A bit of exploration on this side of the zone reveals a cave, that invites further investigation.
Now, here the designers get tricky. They're going to send you a message here, but it might take you a bit to get the message. Especially if you're a bit dense.. like me. As you enter the cave, you're immediately set upon by spiders. So of course, you begin to fight them. And you kill them. But then more appear. And then more. If you continue to fight, you are going to eventually get overwhelmed. Because here's the message. The spiders keep coming. Eventually I got the message, and I fled the cave. And again, there's a subtle bit of help here. Just outside the cave is a deep pool, and as soon as you jump into the pool, the spiders immediately drop aggro return to the cave. And over a short amount of time the spiders will despawn. So now you're faced with a decision. Either re-enter the cave, and explore more of it to learn if it's really where you're supposed to go, or to explore more of that portion of the zone, looking for an alternate route.
Well further exploration reveals no obvious ways to make your way up. So if you run past the spiders, you quickly see the very obvious beginning of the jumping puzzle, and as soon as you make your way up a short ways, the spiders quickly drop aggro and you leave them behind. So now the intent is clear. The designers put the spiders there just to make it interesting. They're not there for you to fight, but to give you a sense of urgency to move along the puzzle. It's important that you've learned this lesson, because further up, along the puzzle, you're going to encounter some more. And by now, hopefully you know not to try to stand around and fight them, but to get on with the puzzle.
Once again, once you're on the puzzle, the direction on where to go next is pretty clear. It's worth mentioning that, where jumping puzzles are concerned, this isn't always the case. Several of them have branching (no pun intended) paths along the way, and some of them require you to detour down one path before you can continue.
Once you emerge at the top, the Cantle of Air is surrounded by air elementals. This requires you to either kill them off before getting the cantle, or if you have some distraction mechanism, like, say phantasms, you can distract them long enough to perform a smash and grab, grabbing the cantle and then flinging yourself over the cliff to the large pond below - again, placed there specifically for you to land in. Which is what I did, which is why the only screenshot you see of me getting the Cantle of Light is the one of me plummeting over the cliff with my ill-gotten gains.
And you're done! With all of the cantles in your possession, all that remains is to make your way back to the chest, collect your booty, and gain your achievement. Just watch your step along the way!
So that's that. I hope you enjoyed looking at the zone through a designer's perspective. And more importantly, I hope you gain some appreciation for the hard working guys and girls that develop that content. There is almost nothing that happens in these virtual worlds in which we play that happens completely by accident. That waterfall, that sweeping view, that fortuitous pool at the bottom of that cliff, those spiders you encounter along the way - all are there for a purpose. And somewhere, someone spent an extraordinary amount of time thinking about just exactly the right way to present that content so that you can enjoy it in the most satisfying of ways.
Wherever you're gaming, I hope you enjoy!

Detailed Description:
STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION:A retrospective study in 160 Taiwanese women with HA and 165 women without HA, with medical records reviewed from 2009 up to 2012. The hyperandrogenic women were classified into four groups (TT, A4, FAI, and DHEA-S) according to independent abnormally elevated androgen measures each above its cut-off value, and the groups were compared with each other and with controls.
PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: This study was performed in the Reproductive Endocrinology Clinic at Wan Fang Medical Center in Taipei, Taiwan. Anthropometric, metabolic, endocrine, and IR components as well as lipid accumulation product (LAP) index were compared between the groups. IR was assessed with the following markers: fasting glucose and insulin levels, oral glucose tolerance test, glucose-to-insulin ratio and homeostasis model assessment of IR index (HOMA-IR).
Ages Eligible for Study: | 13 Years to 48 Years (Child, Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Female |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Probability Sample |
Inclusion Criteria:
Hyperandrogenic women who were classified into four groups:
- Total testosterone (TT),
- Androstenedione (A4),
- Free androgen index (FAI),
- and Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate(DHEA-S).
- According to abnormally elevated androgen measures each above its cut-off value, and non hyperandrogenic women (who had all androgens below their cut-off values)
Exclusion Criteria:
None of the women studied had
- Hypogonadotropic hypogondism,
- Hyperprolactinemia,
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia,
- Premature ovarian failure,
- Androgen-secreting tumors,
- Cushing's syndrome,
- or any other endocrine or systemic disease that may affect the reproductive function,
- or any disorders of the uterus (e.g. Asherman's syndrome and Mullerian genesis) and chromosomal anomalies (e.g. Turner's syndrome).
In addition, we excluded females who had
- Experienced menarche less than three years preceding the study start,
- or who had day 3 FSH > 15 mIU/ml, as well as women with insufficient clinical/biochemical records,
- and women with ovarian cysts or tumors in an ultrasonographic examination.

Churches Together in Bromsgrove (or more commonly known as CTiB) is an association of all the churches in Bromsgrove. CTiB hosts various projects and initiatives, most of which are now run by their own management teams, with their own budgets and volunteers.
Details of the projects and initiatives under the banner of CTiB can be found on this website. By joining together in the name of Jesus we have found benefits in terms of cost, volunteers and utilising everybody's strengths to achieve more. For more information about each of our projects, please click the links below.
Are you new to Bromsgrove; moving to the area; new to Christianity or do you want to see more of Christ in your life? We work together to engage our community and revive lives with the love of Jesus. To find a church that will suit you click here.
Churches Together in Bromsgrove has recently started a new project to run a market stall in Bromsgrove High Street once a month – Churches Together in the Market!
We will be selling some fair trade produce and Christian books, cards etc., but our main purpose is to offer prayer to anybody who wants it. Anyone can give us a prayer request in the street and we will pray for them together on the day. As Jesus says in Matthew 18:19-20
We want to reach out to people in our town to give hope, show what believing in Jesus is all about and bring the kingdom of God into people's lives, and this is a really exciting opportunity to get involved doing that. If you would like to volunteer to help please get in touch as there is always strength in numbers! Please contact Hilda Roxborough by email on firstname.lastname@example.com.
