In women with GDM, delivery was associated with improvement in both insulin sensitivity and insulin production within the first few days. Improvement in insulin production persisted for 6–12 weeks, but insulin sensitivity deteriorated slightly (Diabtologia)
Diabetes News
Category: Gestational
The Utility of Lower Glycemic Targets for Treating Gestational Diabetes: A Retrospective Study
Lower glycemic targets did not produce large reductions in fetal overgrowth, but they were associated with a higher rate of inductions. As there were no observed differences in maternal or neonatal outcomes otherwise, aiming for lower glycemic targets in GDM is likely not cost-effective (Journal of Diabetes Research)
The Gut Microbiota in Women Suffering from Gestational Diabetes Mellitus with the Failure of Glycemic Control by Lifestyle Modification
Blautia, Faecalibacterium, and Eubacterium_hallii_group had important characteristic changes in the gut microbiota of women with GDM2. The relative abundance of Faecalibacterium, Blautia, and Eubacterium_hallii_group can discriminate GDM2 from GDM. Gut bacteria may participate in the pathological development of GDM2 through the PPAR signaling pathway, which should be conducted for further study in the future (Journal of Diabetes Research)

The benefits and implications of life altering treatment such as termination of insulin administration are significant but little can be done without appropriate identification and referral (Primary Care Diabetes)
Modelling potential cost savings from use of real‐time continuous glucose monitoring in pregnant women with Type 1 diabetes
Routine use of RT‐CGM by pregnant women with type 1 diabetes, would result in substantial cost savings, mainly through reductions in NICU admissions and shorter duration of NICU care (Diabetes Medicine)

Testing for type 1 diabetes autoantibodies in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM): is it clinically useful?
From several epidemiological studies it appears that diabetes-related autoimmunity is not a main factor in the aetiology of GDM, accounting for less than 10% of all cases (BMC Endocrine Disorders)
Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome Follow-up Study (HAPO FUS): Maternal Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Childhood Glucose Metabolism
Offspring exposed to untreated GDM in utero are insulin resistant with limited β-cell compensation compared with offspring of mothers without GDM. GDM is significantly and independently associated with childhood IGT (Diabetes Care)

A systematic review on costs and cost-effectiveness of screening and prevention of type 2 diabetes in women with prior gestational diabetes: exploring uncharted territory
An oral glucose tolerance test per three years leads to the lowest cost per case detected, and prevention is potentially cost-effective or cost-saving.

Effect of metformin in addition to dietary and lifestyle advice for pregnant women who are overweight or obese: the GRoW randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
For pregnant women who are overweight or obese, metformin given in addition to dietary and lifestyle advice initiated at 10–20 weeks' gestation does not improve pregnancy and birth outcomes (The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)

Currently there is insufficient high‐quality evidence about the effects on health outcomes of relevance for women with GDM and their babies for many of the comparisons in this overview comparing treatment interventions for women with GDM (Cochrane Library)
Pumps or Multiple Daily Injections in Pregnancy Involving Type 1 Diabetes: A Prespecified Analysis of the CONCEPTT Randomized Trial
In CONCEPTT, MDI users were more likely to have better glycemic outcomes and less likely to have gestational hypertension, neonatal hypoglycemia, and NICU admissions than pump users. These data suggest that implementation of insulin pump therapy is potentially suboptimal during pregnancy (Diabetes Care)
Implementation of national screening guidelines for gestational diabetes: a national survey of maternity units in England
Additional resources are required for NHS Trusts to fully implement and sustain risk-factor screening, especially for women with previous GDM, BMI≥30kg/m2 and ethnic minority groups (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Midlife development of type 2 diabetes and hypertension in women by history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy

Tasteful History

Making everything for the first time
Also known as the heart-shaped man-cake. My dad turned 51 today. I promised that I would make something appropriately birthdayish to bring to work. Last night, I conked out while reading at 7:30 pm. I woke up at 4 am the next day, realized that I had made NOTHING and that I had 3 hours to make something great.
I deserted my fiancé on Skype and ran to the kitchen, wondering if I should make something new and unique or just trust older recipes. I did both, sort of. I used my mother's trusty chocolate moist cake recipe, added a caramel glaze center and marshmallow vanilla icing. Having a n00b kitchen meant that I had to improvise on borrowed portions of the recipe.
By the time my dad woke up, I was assembling the cake. He had my grandparents on Skype. It was noon in the Philippines and we talked as I worked. (Grandma Emma: "It looks too sweet. Aren't you putting too much almonds?")
The end result was a pretty, two-layer, heart-shaped cake placed in the tackiest flowered tray I could find. Now I know why this was the only tray that no one bothered to steal or keep from potluck parties: no one wanted it.
Oh yeah, I even had enough to make a little cake just for us here at home.
Chocolate Moist Cake
2 ½ cups + 2 tbsp flour
3 cups sugar
2 ¼ tsp baking powder
2 ¼ tsp baking soda
1 ½ tsp salt
3 eggs, room temperature
1 12 oz can evaporated milk (or 1 ½ cups milk)
¾ cups canola (or corn/sunflower) oil
1 cup + 2 tbsp cocoa
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 ½ cups boiling water
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Stir flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla, and salt in one bowl.
With an electric mixer, mix sugar, eggs, evaporated milk, and oil. Add flour mixture slowly and mix for two minutes. Add boiling water little by little and mix for one minute. Put mixture in a baking pan and bake for 35-40 minutes.
For me, this was enough to make two heart-shaped layers and a small square cake.
Caramel Glaze
Adapted from Smitten Kitchen
1 can (170 g) cream
1/3 cup sugar
Bring cream, sugar and a pinch of salt to a boil in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Boil for 10 minutes. Cool for 15-20 minutes before using.
Marshmallow Vanilla Icing
Adapted Smitten Kitchen
4 large egg whites
3/4 cup sugar
4 tsp water
2 tsp vanilla extract
Combine frosting ingredients with a pinch of salt in a metal bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water and beat with a handheld electric mixer at high speed until frosting is thick and fluffy, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove bowl from heat and continue to beat until it can form white peaks. Use frosting the day it is made.
Place the first heart-shaped layer on a tray, bottom up. Spread the caramel with a baking spatula. Carefully place the second layer over it, top up, so the bottom parts of the two cakes are touching. Spread vanilla icing all over and top with chopped almonds.

It's summer! It's time to bring out your swim wear, prepare your picnic basket, get out your towels and umbrellas and head for the beach! Summer just brings with it a ton of outdoor activities, loads of family gatherings, and a bunch of happy times with friends. What should be looked into though is that despite all of the fun that is yet to come, summer also brings much heat and skin damage from the sun. Yup! You read right. You better watch out for the sun during summer!
Well there was a time when protecting your skin from the sun was unheard of. Then came the time when a simple hat or shade could protect you and your skin from the sun. After which, a thin layer of SPF 15 came into play. But today, there are new rules you need to know about in keeping yourself safe from the sun and its UV rays.
Sunscreen with an SPF of 15 used to be more than enough to keep skin protected from the sun. Now that it is 2011, this has changed. As the ozone layer becomes thinner and thinner, the sun's rays are becoming more and more dangerous for the skin. Sunscreens with at least an SPF 30 are now needed to better protect the skin. Re-application every few hours is still a must though. Aside from a higher SPF, antioxidant-enriched moisturizers should now also go with your sunscreen.
The sun will dry up your skin. As it is known today, sunscreen will help keep out sun damage but will not moisturize your skin. You see, sweating and being in the heat will dehydrate the skin faster than normal. This fast dehydration will dry out skin making it look rough and withered. You wouldn't want that, right?
It is important to use not just any type of moisturizer on your skin. Unfortunately it is not that simple. The moisturizer you need to use should be rich in antioxidants. Why? Because the sun's rays gives out free radicals that destroy your collagen and elastin fibers and antioxidants help prevent free radicals from attacking. Aside from protection from free radicals, antioxidants help boost up your protection from the soon as well. Antioxidants maybe found in different foods like soy and green tea.
Argan oil is one of the best moisturizers you can use on your skin. It is highly rich in antioxidants that fight off free radicals. An oil that comes naturally from the kernels of the argan tree, argan oil is pressed in order to obtain the antioxidant rich oil. It is bottled without adding any chemicals or other ingredients. Pure as it is, argan oil gives the skin protection and moisture.
Times have changed and how you should be protecting your skin from the sun's rays has changed as well. Now that it's summer, you need to prepare your skin from the heat and harmful rays. Get the right SPF and moisturize appropriately!

DENVER – The Colorado community has answered the Problem Solvers' call for help after robbers reportedly stole a basketball hoop at a nonprofit day care.
Venture for Success serves low-income children in Denver's northeast neighborhoods. The kids were devastated to learn their favorite recess toy, their basketball hoop, was gone.
Within a few minutes of airing the story, dozens of calls and emails began pouring in asking how to help.
"When I saw the story that their basketball hoop was stolen, I was horrified," viewer Robin Fischer said.
Fischer owns a successful small business in Loveland, Action Staffing Solutions. She doesn't know the children at the day care or the owners, but she knew she needed to help.
"I was underprivileged myself and didn't have a lot so when I saw this it reminded me a lot of growing up in the inner city of Milwaukee," she said.
On behalf of her company, Fischer decided to go shopping. She bought basketballs, gift cards and a new basketball hoop, then drove it to Denver on Wednesday morning to surprise everyone at the day care.
"You broke my heart when I saw that you were angry and that someone took something that meant so much to you," she told the group of 3-, 4- and 5-year-olds.
When she announced she had a new hoop for them, everyone cheered and thanked her.
Fischer still had one surprise left. She gave owners Jacqueline and Nathaniel Cradle a card with a handwritten note. Jaqueline read it aloud through tears.
Fischer recruited two other local small businesses to help install the hoop in concrete so it can't be stolen.
"I had tears in my eyes. These children are angels," she said after seeing everyone's reaction.
Arapahoe Rentals in Loveland donated use of an auger to dig a hole in the asphalt. Trevor Hansen of CTH Renovations donated his labor to dig the hole, pour the concrete and install the hoop.
"I'm so thankful to FOX31 and I'm thankful to all of the people that reached out to us," Cradle said.
They said they are most thankful for the smiles the community's generosity brought to the young faces.
Colorado 811, Xcel Energy, Comcast, Century Link, Denver Water, Wastewater Management, Denver Parks and Rec and Denver Traffic and Engineering also went above and beyond to locate utility lines on the property to ensure crews could dig the hole for the hoop on very short notice.
The new permanent hoop will be ready to use Monday afternoon after the concrete finishes drying.

The kids might be back home for the summer, but sometimes it feels like they're just as unreachable as when they were at school. Step one to changing that might be to stop referring to them as "the kids"…they're likely not fans of the label. But we know what you're thinking—no matter how old they get, they will still always be the "kids." And even though you recognize that their checked-out state of mind is natural for their age, you're still determined to spend quality time with them over the summer. We're here to help with 7 things you and the kids can do together that will keep the eye rolls to a minimum and good times to a maximum.
The Big Assist VII
There is nothing like a sports game to bring the whole family together. Especially this one, benefiting the Obie Harrington-Howes Foundation serving local inhabitants with paralyzing spinal cord injuries. You and your kids can watch pro athletes from the NFL and NHL battle it out in this charity game on July 15th at the Terry Conners Rink, organized by veteran professional hockey player and Darien native Ryan Shannon. Visit OHHF.org for more information and to purchase tickets.
The Glass House
Nearly all colleges and universities in the U.S. offer some kind of Art History course. See if you are getting your money's worth by testing your offspring's college-level intellect on a trip to this famous architectural landmark. There's a good range of touring options, from a concise one hour focusing just on the Glass House to an three hour in-depth look at the House, Studio and Painting Gallery on the grounds. Both you and the kids will be awed by Philip Johnson's groundbreaking vision for modern architecture.
Breakfast Out at Rosie
Breakfast time is meant to be spent with the entire family. Channel the good old days of having the whole family under the same roof with a communal breakfast. Upgrade the experience by spending it at Rosie in New Canaan. Everything on Rosie's breakfast and brunch menus is crafted with care—just the kind of delicious comfort food you'd want to share with the special people in your life. Plus, the Bloody Marys are out of this world.
Shopping day on Elm Street
Ever notice that the one thing your kid is never too busy for is a shopping excursion? It never hurts to have a little extra Cha-Ching in the form of a loving parent. But don't worry, spend the day hitting up local stores like Suburban Couture, Jack Wills and Togs with a lunch break at Chef Luis (their tasty tacos and sandwiches guarantee success) in New Canaan, and you're sure to make some memories that transcend the patron-beneficiary relationship.
Post Corner Pizza
Anyone who grew up in the area will fondly recall childhood memories of this classic Darien spot, which celebrated 40 years in Darien in 2012. Let the kids walk down memory lane as they enter this retro restaurant, pausing at the wishing well where they always loved throwing pennies. You won't need to rely on nostalgia, though, for a good time; the joy of eating a good slice of pizza never fades with time. Grab a lollipop on your way out for old times sake.
Sport Around
A little family competition never hurt anyone. Tennis and golf both require only 2-4 people to play and have built-in rests, allowing for some private conversation and catching up. Plus, they let you to take advantage of the beautiful summer CT weather. With venues across town, they're also super convenient.
Rock Climbing
Disclaimer: for the more athletically inclined family. Try the "Survivor" Rock Wall at the Darien Y. This high-intensity wall, for ages 15 and up, is a great, challenging experience that will unite you and your kids in your shared efforts to succeed during this test of strength and determination. Don't forget to snap some pictures of your loved ones once they reach the top…for once there's no where to run to.
RCA Summer Music Festival
Relax at Bailey Beach or Pinkney Park while you and the kids enjoy bands like Bronze Radio Return and The English Beat playing some fun summer tunes. Don't be alarmed if you overhear one of your youngsters call a band "dope"….it's a good thing.

It's raining on a Tuesday afternoon at the Judge Business School of Cambridge University, wherein a room of business leaders are discussing the future of consumer behaviour and marketing.
Marcia Kilgore, the founder of so many successful brands captivates her audience in a description of the devious world of cosmetics. Showing her new successful flagship brand Beauty Pie, she declares "Transparency is the new Black".
This rallying cry to be open, authentic, and honest is mirrored by many of the successful disruptive founders and influencers around her. Alex Letts, the founder of Unbank, describes how he has launched a fintech company dedicated to unwinding the unethical nature of bank charges. Catherine Summers, a top fashion blogger, describes how she has forged trust with her thousands of followers through presenting her authentic self.
The theory: if we are honest and authentic then our customers will fall in love with us and our businesses will flourish, but is this true?
So are customers always authentic and transparent?
Diana Fleischman, a lecturer in evolutionary psychology, disagrees. "Successful social communication relies on unacknowledged motivations of being deeply unauthentic", her theory on 'Adaptive Trainers' insists.
In fact, it seems entire areas of our brain are dedicated to remembering others' preferences so we can buy them a great birthday present – in an attempt to manage their future behaviour. But this apparent act of generosity is undermined when you realise that effort is simply 'benevolent self-interest'.
In short, we quickly become machiavellian when we engage in any relationship we expect to recur.
Richard Summers, Chief Scientist at CrowdCat, speaks about empirical evidence from studying millions of people and their buying decisions around hundreds of products. The data show clearly that people are unaware of why they do the things they do. "When asked to describe why they make a decision, it is not that they intentionally lie, it's simply that their beliefs about their behaviour is at odds with their actual behaviour".
Although not as inflammatory as Diana's position, it is another indicator that we are not so authentic. What we believe to be true is frequently at odds with what is true.
If our customers are not authentic, then how can a brand be?
The answer might be that they are pulling the same trick as the human brain does: creating an authentic shell of beliefs about what they are doing, separate from what their organisation is actually doing. For example, a separation between management intent and organisational process
One mechanism creating this is Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning. These AI systems are computer programs that learn patterns.
By learning patterns they are able to predict things. Whether that's Netflix suggesting the movie you would like to watch next to the analytics that allow Amazon packages to leave the warehouse before the delivery address is confirmed.
AI opens up enormous possibilities, through scale, speed, and low cost. At a pace comparable to the internet, AI is touching every business process and radically effecting the products available to consumers. The Gmail app offers up appropriate responses to an email, but it's not a human that's reading the mail. Harvard Business Review cites a virtual assistant named Angie which sends about 30,000 emails a month and interprets the responses to determine who is a hot lead. Only its recommendations are followed up, the rest ignored.
The most interesting thing about AI however, is not what it can do but what it can't. AI is not self-aware, it can't tell you why it does the things it does. It very effectively learns patterns that make things work better, but nobody knows what patterns it's learning.
These same forward-thinking brands that embrace transparency are also embracing the brave new world of AI, which leaves an interesting contradiction. Often these companies appear to advocate transparency, authentically showing us what they do. However, the AI process at their core are utterly opaque.
It's not that the customer won't be told what's going on, it's that the brand can't tell them.
Is AI capable of being ethical?
As the discussion moves on into ethics and data, this theme is developed into a cautionary point of view. Ray Anderson, one of the icons of technology innovation in Cambridge, tells us "we are often avoiding our ethical dilemmas by placing those decisions in the hands of AI".
From Uber's bidding system to Facebook's edge-ranking algorithms, AI systems with seemingly benign or even benevolent purpose are delivering less-than-ethical behaviour.
Remember these systems are often the only option for companies where a human-involved process simply cannot cope. In one minute, 18,000 minutes of video are uploaded to YouTube, leaving human-only moderation implausible. It is not their design that is biased, but the human behaviour they learn and react to.
Increasingly, decisions are being made by machines which not only have no morals, but are inscrutable. When we intentionally create a policy that discriminates against disadvantaged people we create moral outrage, so what to do with AI policy if it cannot be inspected?
Could we audit AI to show transparency?
To better understand humans, we use cognitive psychology, exploring our behaviour and thought processes. DeepMind, the Alphabet think tank, considers cognitive psychology as one solution, where one is needed. A recent paper proposed a new approach to the problem that employs methods from cognitive psychology to understand deep neural networks.
By considering cognitive psychology as a potential solution to uncover this opaqueness, it begins to open up a route to audit and perhaps to reveal biases in an AI system.
It should be recognised however, that unlike the systems we have become used to, AI is continually learning and adapting. Rather than a typical IT system that gives repeatable consistent results, AI will need to multiple return audits.
And then what? If an AI system believes it has derived that female leads shouldn't be followed up, or less-educated people should be subject to greater fraud-checking, what do we do?
Are these systems deliberately opaque or purely pragmatic?
If AI becomes the new way to avoid scrutiny, this would rightly concern people. But, is it the brand or the consumer that is to blame?
Our demand for authenticity as consumers may represent an impossible contradiction for businesses that rely on machines to meet our needs.
There is perhaps an irony if, by allowing AI to do things we wouldn't intentionally do elsewhere in our business, brands mimic the human propensity for self-deception in saying one thing while doing another.
This article was authored by Richard Summers and Tim Sutton following the 2017 Cambridge University Judge Business School conference, The Science of Disruption.

Document Type
Honors Thesis
Publication Date
Spring 2015
My Honors Thesis was the research and direction of the musical Godspell at the University of Maine. Godspell was first produced in 1970. It is based on the book of Matthew which follows the parables taught by Jesus Christ. The cast, production team, and crew will be UMaine students or recent alums. I wanted to direct this show in order to have the experience in my undergraduate career and prove a student run musical can be done here. Although there have been multiple student productions produced by the theater club Maine Masque at UMaine, there has never been a full scale musical. With this project, I not only completed the usual directorial duties (such as analyze the script, cast the show etc.), but also created my own distinct interpretation of the show and applied all that I have learned in my career as a theater student at UMaine.
Experience in directing a musical is the cumulative peak of my artistic and academic career. As a theater student, I have been taught both technical theater skills, as well as performance skills. Directing blends all aspects of theater. The director is responsible for helping the cast tell the story and working with the production team to present a unified vision.
I chose to direct Godspell because it gave me the opportunity to blend theater and history (my two majors) and to better learn to create an ensemble. In order to integrate both majors, I set Godspell in 1968. I chose this year because it was the turning point of the 1960s in America both socially (with many college protests as well as the death of Martin Luther King Jr.) and politically (with the election of Nixon and the decline of support for the Vietnam War). 1968 was a time of radical citizens and conservative politicians creating the tension necessary for the actors to create their characters in Godspell and thus created a context that serves the play.
Godspell can be set in any turbulent era because the story is transcendent. Though the text is based on biblical verse, the show itself is about overcoming differences and coming together as a community much more than about religion or politics. This is what drew me to the text initially and why Godspell was so important for the School of Performing Arts. It is very rare that the dance minors, music majors (both vocal and instrumental) and theater majors all work on the same project. However, the most important component about working creatively with other people is the development of an ensemble. Godspell is unique in its dependence on improvisation making it primarily ensemble driven. The show is not about the journey of one character, like most stories, but rather the journey of the group through music, dance and text. As a result, music, dance and theater students all bring a unique perspective to the rehearsal process. In this way, Godspell is not only a great opportunity for me to expand and conclude my undergraduate career, but also a chance for the cast, crew and production team to learn more about collaboration and the value of a process where everyone is essential.
In the following thesis, I explore the directorial theatrical process from auditions to closing as well as the impact of this show at UMaine. This was a long and often difficult journey, but the end product was well worth the effort. Through these writings, I wish to explain how directing a student show works as well as give feedback about this unique experience from my point of view and the view of the student production team and cast.

text: Silicon Carbide (SiC) has a high thermal stability and for most elements temperatures in excess of 2000 degreesC are anticipated to reach reasonable diffusivities (greater than or equal to 10(-13) cm(2)/s). We demonstrate, however, that light elements, like hydrogen and lithium, exhibit a considerable mobility already at less than or equal to 400 degreesC, Technologically, the principal interest in these light elements arises because of their ability to electrically passivate shallow acceptors and donors as well as deep level defects in common semiconductors (SiC, Si, GaAs). Indeed, for both hydrogen and lithium the diffusion kinetics is shown to be strongly affected by trapping and de-trapping at boron impurities in the SiC layers. Evidence is also provided that hydrogen migrates as a positively charged ion in p-type SiC. Furthermore, similar to that in crystalline silicon, transient enhanced diffusion of ion-implanted boron is observed in SiC. The initial boron diffusivity during postimplant annealing at 1600 degreesC is enhanced by more than two orders of magnitude compared to equilibrium conditions. For Silicon Germanium (SiGe) diffusion of the n-type dopants Sb and P is studied. Comparing results from strained and relaxed SiGe layers annealed under inert and oxidizing conditions it is unambiguously shown that the diffusion of Sb is almost exclusively mediated by vacancies. On the other hand, P diffusion is predominantly assisted by Si self-interstitials and in this case compositional and strain effects in the SiGe layers are competing.

Palestinians and Israelis have long disputed the applicability of the Fourth Geneva Convention to the Palestinian occupied territories. Their differences on the matter go to the heart of the conflict. Palestinians base their claim that the Fourth Geneva Convention must apply to the territories on the fact that these are under a belligerent military occupation. Thus, those provisions of international law that deal with people under occupation should be applied.
The Israelis, on the other hand, have always refused the applicability of the Geneva Convention and many other aspects of international law because, in the final analysis, Israel has no intention of putting itself in a position of having to end the occupation: an Israeli acceptance of the applicability of the convention will lead not only to better treatment of the people under occupation, but would also embody an Israeli recognition of the occupied status of the territories and consequently the ultimate necessity of ending this occupation. This is the core of the conflict.
Israeli violations of humanitarian law concerning people under occupation go beyond the day-to-day harassments and collective punishments of Palestinians and the brutal Israeli measures including the killings, the confiscation of land, the destruction of infrastructure and the restriction of movement. There is another little-commented-upon motivating factor which plays a large role in the Israeli insistence to continue its occupation and consequently to deny the applicability of international law. One analyst suggested some time ago that the Israeli occupation might be the second most profitable project in the Middle East after oil. While this may sound somewhat exaggerated, there can be no doubt that the illegal economic benefits Israel reaps by exploiting the occupied territories are substantial.
First of all, Israel has illegally been taking most of the water resources that legally belong to the occupied Palestinian people, for the use either of Israelis in Israel or Israeli settlers in the territories. Israel has also been handsomely rewarded with tourism revenue from the many attractive religious and non-religious sites in east Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Jericho. A third economic boon of the occupation for Israel is the exploitation of Palestinian workers as cheap labor without the benefits that otherwise should have been extended. If we calculate all these different kinds of illegal economic benefits, another reason for the Israeli insistence on refusing to adhere to different components of international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention, becomes apparent.
Yet, despite the continuous Israeli refusal to implement the Fourth Geneva Convention and accept its de jure applicability, the Palestinian people and the international community have continued to insist on the applicability of the convention. They have insisted on the applicability of articles related to the treatment of prisoners, to the transfer of citizens of the occupying country to the occupied territories, or the use of the natural resources of the occupied land by the occupying power. The latest illustration of the isolation of the Israeli legal position in general was the recent finding of the International Court of Justice which, among other things, specified that the Palestinian territories under Israeli control, Gaza and the West Bank including East Jerusalem, are under an illegal occupation and consequently the occupying power has to adhere to international law in this regard.
It would be in the interest of Israel to show more respect for international law, including the Geneva conventions. After all, the very legitimacy of Israel is based on specific UN resolutions and other stipulations of international law, and Israel might come to regret its dismissive attitude toward international law upon which it may need to depend again.

Autumn is a great time to visit Georgia since it's generally warm and sunny. September and October are high season because it's less hot than in summer and the sea temperature is still pleasantly warm. In addition, the seaside is quite dry even in autumn while the eastern part of the country experiences its wettest time. September is still good for hiking in the mountains. In fact, it's even better due to the wonderful warm hues of nature. Although in some places you'll probably have to dress in layers because it might be a little chilly, and also bring waterproof or quick-dry clothes. Early autumn is also the time for wine harvest festivities in Georgia.

It's National Martini Day, hurrah! But we're doing something a little different: a popular Prohibition take on the King of Cocktails, it's the Bronx!
You really wouldn't want to drink a Martini during Prohibition unless you could get hold of some authentic imported gin which would have been very expensive. So instead you'd have to use a rough bathtub gin, which might be flavoured with turpentine or sulphuric acid (mmmm, tangy), with nothing to temper it except something labelled vermouth (very likely a mixture of grape must, sugar and more rough alcohol). No wonder cocktails with high sugar and fruit content became popular during those sad years. They would hide the taste of the alcohol.
Take the Bronx, for example. It was invented in 1906 at the Old Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York by a barman called Johnny Solon, but it came into its own when good liquor became scarce. Get hold of some orange juice, some "vermouth" and some alcohol that vaguely smelt of juniper, and you could make yourself a palatable cocktail. Especially if you served it really cold. The Bronx is basically a sweet Martini made with orange juice. No wonder the Bronx was the cocktail of the 1920s. It's the sort of thing that could be made by the bucketful for your Gatsby-esque parties.
It's rather gone out of fashion now. There's a National Martini Day and a Negroni Week, but nobody designates time to enjoy the Bronx. Poor Bronx. Perhaps it's because we now have good gin coming out of our ears. There's no need to disguise the flavour. Then there's the borough itself, which doesn't have the glamour of Manhattan or the hip of Brooklyn. Plus it's an easy cocktail to make badly with concentrated orange juice and cheap cooking vermouth. But if you use freshly squeezed orange juice, or my own favourite, blood orange juice, then it's marvellous concoction. Then when choosing your booze, think orange. I'm using Brighton Gin which has orange peel as one of its botanicals, and two citrus-heavy vermouths, Martini Riserva Speciale Ambrato and Noilly Prat Extra Dry.
To turn a Bronx into a Queens, you swap the orange juice for pineapple juice, or in some recipes combine the two, or in others add a bit of lemon to the pineapple. Or you can add a few drops of Angostura bitters in which case it is called an Income Tax (who comes up with these names?). Anyway, enough variations, let's make a Bronx:
50ml Brighton Gin
25ml Martini Riserva Speciale Ambrato
15ml Noilly Prat Orginal Dry
30ml freshly-squeezed orange juice
Dash of Fee Brothers orange bitters
Shake all the ingredients hard with lots of ice and strain into a cold Martini glass. Garnish with an orange twist and shake a wicked calf.

If you have had prior weight loss surgery and have not had a good weight loss result, or have had complications, a revision operation might be the ideal solution.
To learn more about revision surgery and whether it's right for you, attend a free, no-obligation educational consultation with Dr. Oliak in Brea or Irvine. To schedule, call or send us a contact form today!
Bariatric Revision Surgery in Orange County
Bariatric revision surgery involves either repairing an existing weight loss operation, or converting to a different operation.
Gastric banding operations (LAP-BAND®) are typically converted to a different operation, and not preserved. Gastric banding can be converted to gastric sleeve or gastric bypass.
Gastric sleeve operations can either be repaired, or converted to a different operation, most commonly gastric bypass.
Gastric bypass operations are typically repaired, and not converted to a different operation.
Gastric Banding (LAP-BAND®) Revision Surgery
Gastric banding revisions most commonly involve band removal and conversion to a different operation, either gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy.
Patients who initially achieved good weight loss with gastric banding, and did not develop severe vomiting and/or reflux complications, are typically good candidates for gastric sleeve surgery.
Patients who never achieved good weight loss with gastric banding, or patients who developed severe reflux with gastric banding, may be better candidates for gastric bypass surgery.
LAP-BAND® conversion operations to gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy can be done in either one or two operations. When done in two operations, the first one is to remove the band, and the second one (after 3-6 months) is to do the sleeve or bypass.
Two operations are generally better when LAP-BAND® complications are present – band slippage, band erosion, dilated gastric pouch, esophageal dysfunction.
One operation is often favored when there are no gastric banding complications and no (or minimal) gastric pouch dilatation.
Gastric Sleeve Revision Surgery
Gastric sleeve revision operations are done for either complications or poor weight loss. Gastric sleeve revision operations can either preserve the gastric sleeve, or convert to a different operation.
The gastric sleeve operation can be preserved if the problem is caused by an anatomic issue with the sleeve. For example, if the gastric sleeve is too large, and weight loss is not sufficient, a revision to make the sleeve smaller might be reasonable.
Another example is acid reflux due to a hiatal hernia after gastric sleeve surgery. A hiatal hernia repair with preservation of the sleeve would be reasonable.
If, however, poor weight loss, or a complication (typically acid reflux), is not due to an anatomic issue with the gastric sleeve, conversion to a different operation is generally favored.
When a gastric sleeve operation is converted to a different operation, it is most commonly converted to gastric bypass. Less commonly it is converted to duodenal switch or SADI.
Gastric Bypass Revision Surgery
Gastric bypass revision operations are done for either complications or poor weight loss. Generally the gastric bypass operation is preserved.
The goal with gastric bypass revision surgery is typically to restore gastric bypass anatomy back to normal.
Poor weight loss can sometimes be due to problems with gastric bypass anatomy, such as an enlarged stomach pouch, or a dilated connection between the pouch and intestine. These issues can be corrected surgically.
Complications that result in abdominal pain (chronic ulcer, internal hernia, etc.), or reflux/vomiting (hiatal hernia, chronic stricture, etc.), can often be resolved with a revision operation.
Why Choose Dr. Oliak?
Simple – better outcomes! Dr. Oliak's relentless focus on providing excellent surgery and patient care has resulted in a track record of great patient outcomes.* His weight loss and complication statistics (3000 operations since 2002) rank among the best in the weight loss surgery field.* And, when it comes to your health and wellbeing, what is more important than that?

Along with the current offering of mid-sized SUVs, there are other options that are less truck like but with a combo of car characteristics. These are compact crossovers like the Mazda CX-5 vs Toyota RAV4 which are the top picks for this segment. Between the Mazda and Toyota; they are both good options that are no-regret purchases because their price tag is on the expensive side.
Mazda CX-5
One of the sleekest and costlier crossovers to get; but has the SKYACTIV engine that is strong and efficient. Everything is premium and in Mazda CX-5 versus Toyota RAV4 which is why it's one of the best-equipped crossovers to get.
Mazda CX-5 SUV 2019 in-depth review
Toyota RAV4
Most of Toyota's premium cars are the best and the best-selling in most places. The RAV4 is another development of a respect crossover that has enough to make it a good option. It may not be as well-appointed; but it's a quality compact crossover, none the less!
2019 Toyota RAV4 - Review & Road Test
Mazda CX-5: The CX-5 is taller between the two, but is smaller in length and width. It's s sleeker and slimmer crossover. Toyota RAV4: It is bigger and looks more robust with a bigger length, and width compares to the CX-5.
Mazda CX5 dimensions
Verdict: It gets the first point; the RAV4 with its larger bulk compared to the slimmer CX-5.
>>> Need more info of these two crossover SUV? Check out our in-depth review:
The CX-5 is tied with the RAV4 for most of the specs and has more of the relevant specs on its side. Though is it even with the RAV4; and it is a risk what will be preferred. Now the RAV4 is just as well-equipped, but is on the level of the CX-5. There may be some deal breakers, but the lesser cost does make it a good choice too.

- Front: 16 " Ventilated Disc
- Rear: 16 " Solid Disc
- Front: MacPherson Strut
- Rear: Multi-link beam
- Front: MacPherson Strut (Coil)
- Rear: Double Wishbone (Coil)
Mazda CX5 is armed with a 2.5-liter in-line four mill with 190 hp and 251 Nm
2.5L inline-4 Dynamic Force mill is ideal for the next-gen Toyota RAV4 2019
Verdict: Either one would do, but it may come down to the cost of the unit. Neither gets the better of the other, but the diesel option of the CX-5 may tip the scales a bit.
Here the CX-5 is better because of one option. Bests the RAV4 easily and gets the point. No go here, and the RAV4 is basically missing important features.
Mazda has always been a good safe option, and the CX-5 has proven that it can muster a unit that is safe and secure. Toyota RAV4 runs second to the CX-5, but it is just as well equipped
Compared to the RAV4; Mazda CX-5 has the same level of comfort. Comfort-wise, Toyota RAV4 is just the same with no difference.
Verdict: Neither gets the better in comfort, and that's a good thing.
A spectacular arrangement in the RAV4 2019 interior is apt for a wide array of preferences and driving experiences
Overall the CX-5 gets most of the features, but the RAV4 is cheaper and with fewer premium features. In the end; the CX-5 is a better option in most specs (please check the tables for reference) which makes a difference. But the cheaper RAV4 is also a good option too! Both are good options; but they may bear down on price, not on features in Mazda CX-5 versus Toyota RAV4.

Delivering 'in-the-moment' market research to global healthcare
Published in Research World, October 2012, By John Branston, Director There have been numerous reports in the pharmaceutical and international press concerning the high rate of adoption of mobile devices amongst physicians. A survey conducted earlier this year by Manhattan Research showed that physician use of tablets for professional purposes nearly doubled last year, with 62% of doctors now using the technology. But despite advances in data collection techniques and technology over the years, pharmaceutical market researchers have not successfully developed techniques to capture immediate detailed, qualitative insights into prescription rationale at the patient level, particularly where these prescription decisions are made by hospital specialists. This is a problem that I believe mobile research is destined to overcome, because of the 'go-anywhere' functionality afforded by smartphone technology and because of the popularity of smartphones, specifically amongst physicians.A report by Jackson and Coker released late last year stated that four out of five practicing physicians in the US use smartphones, computer tablets, and other mobile devices during the course of their workday.It is a theory that I recently tested by working with pharmaceutical company Merck Serono. The organisation was seeking approval of its existing oncology drug Erbitux (currently licensed in colorectal…

Eric Jaffe
Eric Jaffe is the former New York bureau chief for CityLab. He is the author of A Curious Madness and The King's Best Highway.
A decade ago, it was unusual to design a bridge with space for pedestrians or cyclists, says Ted Zoli, National Bridge Chief Engineer for the architecture and civil engineering firm HNTB. Today it's unusual not to give these modes space—or, in some cases, the entire structure. Even bridges that seem primarily suited for vehicle traffic must include what Zoli calls, in the parlance of engineers, "shared-use path facilities"; the new Tappan Zee Bridge will have one, he points out, as will a bridge HNTB is designing on I-95.
"Now every major project I'm working on has a shared-use path—a bicycle- or pedestrian-defined path—integrated into the design," says Zoli. "I would say the future of pedestrian bridges is significant in the practice of bridge design in urban areas."
When Zoli talks bridges, people listen. He earned a MacArthur genius grant back in 2009, and in a lengthy Esquire profile that followed, was named "the engineer of the moment." (The title doubles as an inside joke, as "moment" is a physics term describing force at a given point.) He's compared bridge design to poetry in the sense that both should try to do a whole lot with very little.
Zoli describes a pedestrian bridge as "fundamentally a different facility" than a vehicular one. Oddly enough, the distinction has little to do with the weight each must bear; that's generally the same in both cases, he says. Rather, the difference comes down to three design approaches: connectivity (how to get people up and down), aspiration (pedestrian bridges should be iconic, wayfinding landmarks unto themselves), and curvature (there's far less need for straightness).
"Non-straightness has value in terms of the overall performance of the facility, but also it's more characteristic of the way we walk and maybe to a lesser degree bicycle," he says. "So there's that experiential part that's different to me."
The experience of curvature drives the majesty of the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, a 3,000-foot, S-shaped structure for walkers and cyclists that snakes between Omaha, Nebraska, and Council Bluffs, Iowa, over the Missouri River. The challenge here was finding a way to introduce curvature without blowing the budget out of the water (so to speak). Zoli met the task by using railing with no frills instead of a flashy finish, and engineering structural pieces that appear curved from afar but are actually straight at the individual level.
"The beauty of that was we didn't have to curve anything," he says. "We weren't making fancy geometry, neither in the railings nor in the structure itself."
Some of Zoli's other recent pedestrian designs include the Happy Hollow Park Bridge, in San Jose, which uses an innovative network tied-arch approach, and Squibb Park Bridge, in Brooklyn, a trail-style structure made with black locust wood to give the feeling of a "departure" from the city into nature. (Civil Engineering magazine described Squibb as "more muddy boots than designer heels.") Both designs encourage people to linger at meeting nodes in the middle, says Zoli.
They also share Zoli's zeal for cost-effectiveness. His interest in building strong bridges on leaner budgets was part of the reason he dedicated his MacArthur money toward developing high-quality rope bridges in remote areas. Synthetic rope not only costs less than steel cables, but it's easier to transport to back lands and to repair on site. He says a 210-foot pedestrian rope span in Morocco, where Zoli and a graduate student conducted an Engineers Without Borders project, cost a mere $10,000.
Given the push toward walkability and balanced transport in urban areas, Zoli only expects the prevalence of pedestrian bridges to increase over time. Cities will see fewer car-only bridge projects—Zoli says most of the ones he does today are emergency repairs on aging structures—and more car-less designs. Get used to more designs that deliver multimodal connectivity like the Tilikum Crossing in Portland (an HNTB project, though not Zoli's), a bridge that will ban passenger cars.
"Pedestrian and bicycles and mass transit inhabiting similar corridors—that's just good urban planning and sensibility," he says. "To have that occur on a bridge is notional about our future. Right?"
Will COVID-19 change how cities are designed? Michele Acuto of the Connected Cities Lab talks about density, urbanization and pandemic preparation.
Because of coronavirus, millions of tenants won't be able to write rent checks. But calls for a rent holiday often ignore the longer-term economic effects.
We must prepare for a protracted battle with coronavirus. But there are changes we can make now to prepare locked-down cities for what's next.
Some renters and homeowners are getting financial assistance during the economic disruption from the coronavirus pandemic. What about landlords?
To help flatten the curve in the Covid-19 outbreak, officials at all levels of government are asking people to stay home. Here's what's worked, and what hasn't.

Preventative maintenance is all about having an active plan to service your espresso machine and grinder on a regular basis in order to get the most from your equipment for as long as you own it. Here are three easy tips for implementing a preventative maintenance plan:
Tip 1: Ensure your machine is up to manufacturer specification
In order for you to implement an effective preventative maintenance program for your coffee equipment, your equipment either needs to be new or up to manufacturer specifications.
If you are implementing a preventative maintenance plan on a machine that is already in operation, it is recommended to ask your service provider to conduct a Minor service on your equipment and provide a condition report on what is required to bring the equipment up to manufacturer specifications.
From here, you will be able to anticipate if it is worth repairing, or whether to purchase a new machine, and commence a preventative maintenance plan.
Tip 2: Be Prepared
Having a scheduled / routine service for your coffee machine can keep your entire café operation running smoothly, and save you from last minute headaches. However, be prepared for your equipment to be down for 2 hours every service. This may seem like a large amount of time, however at least you can prepare for it!
Visualise this: a busy Sunday morning with customers lining out the door to receive their morning coffee. If your one and only espresso machine decides to stop functioning right in that peak time, what would you do?
You can call a technician on a Sunday for an emergency repair, but you can guarantee that the cost to assess, diagnose, and fix the problem will be a timely and expensive inconvenience to your business, not to mention the loss of productivity and your own increased stress. This problem may have been sold with a schedule preventative maintenance.
Tip 3: Stick to it
Now that everything is in place and ready to go, stock to the schedule! Set calendar reminders, and build a relationship with your service provider; the value of preventative maintenance is undeniable.

Creative industry tax reliefs
Creative industry tax reliefs are a group of eight Corporation Tax reliefs that allow qualifying companies to claim a larger deduction, or in some circumstances claim a payable tax credit when calculating their taxable profits.
These reliefs are:
- Film Tax Relief (FTR)
- Animation Tax Relief (ATR)
- High-end Television Tax Relief (HTR)
- Children's Television Tax Relief (CTR)
- Video Games Tax Relief (VGTR)
- Theatre Tax Relief (TTR)
- Orchestra Tax Relief (OTR)
- Museums and Galleries Exhibition Tax Relief (MGETR)
These reliefs work by increasing the amount of allowable expenditure. Where your company makes a loss, you may be able to 'surrender' the loss and convert some or all of it into a payable tax credit.
Qualifying for creative industry tax reliefs
To qualify for creative industry tax reliefs, your company must be liable to Corporation Tax and directly involved in the production and development of:
- certain films
- high-end and children's television programmes
- animation programmes
- video games
- theatrical productions
- orchestral concerts
- museum or gallery exhibitions
If you produce films, television programmes, animations or video games, you must also pass a cultural test or qualify through an internationally agreed co-production treaty. Formal certification that the production is a British film, programme or game is required to qualify.
The British Film Institute offers more guidance on the cultural test, certification and qualification.
A specialist unit within HMRC deals with most claims for creative industries tax reliefs. You can send your questions about claiming the reliefs to the Creative Industry Unit.

We strongly recommend that all students who come to study in UK to register with a doctor when they enrol at the University/College in London.
Doctors are often referred to as GPs, which means General Practitioner. All consultations are confidential so you can discuss any of your concerns with them.
You can call in, or telephone, to book an appointment to see the doctor, once you have registered with the Practice. They will try to give you an appointment on the same day if you call early in the morning.
All international students studying for six months or longer are entitled to NHS (National Health Service) treatment. All other international students taking higer education in UK for less than six months, will have to pay for any treatment other than emergency treatment. It is therefore very important that you take out medical insurance, as health care can be expensive.
These charges vary.
If you are ill you should see your GP first. He will refer you to the hospital if it is appropriate. In an emergency you can go directly to a hospital that has an Accident & Emergency Unit.
Contact the dentist and they will tell you if you can register with them, depending on how busy the practice is and whether they carry out NHS treatment.
Your doctor will have an emergency telephone number (24 hour service), which you can ring if you need treatment outside surgery hours. This should only be used in an emergency.
Fire, Police or Ambulance: Dial: 999 (free call) Only to be used in an extreme emergency where someone's life may be in immediate danger eg an accident.
When dialling 999 you will be asked which service you require, what has happened and where you are. The emergency service will be sent out to you.
The local hospital usually has an Accident and Emergency Department (24 hour service), which you can go to at any time if you need urgent medical treatment.
If you are living in University Accommodation in London, there are always staff on duty who will help you contact the medical services if you are ill.

Children's Fiction
Levine, Ellen. (1989). I Hate English!. Hong Kong: Scholastic Inc.
This text is about a young girl Mei Mei (nine or ten years old) who finds it hard to adjust to speaking English when her family moves to New York from Hong Kong. She finds English a lonely language as each letter stands on its own and has its own sound, unlike Chinese characters. She understands her teacher in class, but she never speaks English. Mei Mei loves to go to the Chinatown Learning Centre where she does everything in Chinese. She writes to her friends in Chinese, but she has to write the address in English. One day, an American teacher, Nancy, comes to the Centre to help Mei Mei with her English. Mei Mei loves the story that Nancy reads to her; she forgets that she does not like to listen to English but feels sad when she comes across words that she does not know in Chinese. The next day, Nancy takes Mei Mei out for a walk. She does all the talking, telling Mei Mei everything about herself in English. Mei Mei feels invisible as she cannot respond, and finally shouts in English, "I want to talk!" She then begins to talk nonstop in English about festivals, streets and friends in Hong Kong. From then on, Mei Mei talks in both languages whenever she wants. (FC)

You would think being half way around the world would keep the drama I left behind from following me. Nope. It reared it's ugly head. It caught back up with me and I got sucked back in. Before I launch into this, this is not me gossiping. This is about a toxic friendship that continues to haunt me.
I guess I should go back to the beginning so everything makes sense. Back in August 2014 Jeremy and I had gone to the Rib Fest in Wilmington. While we were there we, of course, were eating ribs. Seatting was limited so we weren't surprised when another couple asked to sit with us. We struck up a conversation with them. Her name was Trisha and her husband, Sean. They were from near Jacksonville too. Trisha and I seemed to hit it off as friends so we exchanged Facebook information so we could hang out sometime. I took Trisha and Sean's picture for them and they returned the favor.
At first Trisha seemed nice. A little hyper active and always wanting to do stuff but I wrote that off. Little by little she became clingier and clingier. At one point she found out that Jeremy and I had planned a special date of going deep sea fishing (something he had always wanted to do but hadn't had a chance to do yet). She and Sean invited themselves along. They showed up that night. She talked nonstop after showing up. Jeremy and I decided to go to another part of the boat for some peace and quiet. Unfortunately I ended up being really sea sick for the entire boat ride. Jeremy had fun though and caught my share of the fish too.
I followed my gut instinct and cut ties with her. I blocked her on all forms of social media because she was that much of a clinger. It freaked me out how much she was flipping out about me wanting to end this friendship. My friends knew how much of a psycho she was with how much she tried to contact us.
About a month or so after I blocked her, Facebook irrupted with posts about her. All the military groups and pages that make fun of "dependas" were going nuts over a post she made on one of the selling groups for Jacksonville. She had posted that she wanted to go to the Marine Corps Ball to "support the troops" and because her husband couldn't give her the "Cinderella experience" because he was a disabled veteran. People went crazy making fun of her. Especially when she started attacking absolutely everyone and attacking people that had nothing to do with this situation. She made a Facebook page called Catch A Bully. She claimed it was to defend service members' wives from bullying. It wasn't long at all before she started using that page to start attacking the very people she was suppose to be defending. On that page she posted about how she survived her cancer with chemo or radiation. It had only been a month or so since she told she was diagnosed.Raundi died. That was so out of left field that I stopped talking to the person that messaged me.
Then in late October I found out from someone else who contacted me (they too saw me on the "Catch A Bully Is Fake" page) to let me know that Trisha was going to be on Dr. Phil because of vlogs and live streaming videos. Jeremy and I made plans to watch the day after it aired. She was still as crazy as when we knew her. You can watch part one here. I just got done watching part two and I am speechless. I just found out that the person bullying Raundi before she died was Trisha. How can someone be so toxic that push someone to commit suicide? I feel like I should have done more to warn others of Trisha but honestly I didn't know at the time that I blocked her that she could be that toxic.
Trisha is still making her videos. She claims she tells the truth in her videos. She claims she is the Rosa Parks of the internet. She is a sick individual that needs help.
Toxic people can be hard to recognize at first but once you see their true colors, RUN. Don't let them in or listen to their excuses or lies. They will end up hurting you. Listen to your gut when something seems off with someone. Bullying is never right. It can truly mess up people's lives and push people too far into depression. If you need someone to talk to, please feel free to email me. I don't judge.

There is no spyware, viruses or other malware.

Most of the reports mention Rapport Trusteer Ltd and Kaspersky
Check for updates for both. If there is still a problem, disable both.
Hi Fred, As far as I am aware I do not have Flash pklayer inbstalled,I removed it ages ago because of bthe susepability to hacking.My Kaspersky anti virus is upto date ,as is Trusteer.There is no way I will disable either much rather do without bFirefox.Most of your reply is gibberish to me,I always use Windows update so all my drivers must be OK,I will check in DEvice Manager later.
That crash report this is listed as the most recent submitted is from 2015 and from an old Firefox version. Did you submit older reports?
The second report is from the current Firefox release (54.0.1) and look graphics related.
- Firefox 54.0.1 Crash Report [@ ID2D1DeviceContext::DrawImage ]
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Options/Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
You can check if there is an update for your graphics display driver and check for hardware acceleration related issues.
Hi Co-rel,Thanks for your reply.I have unticked Acceleration,the screenshots were i thought up to date some were dated July 2017,All my drivers are up to date and i am using the mostv up to date available/
