Four new inventions set to change the way we holiday in 2018
Get ready for noise-cancelling hotel rooms, VR space visits and hotel check in desks on your smartphone
FROM Uber to Instagram, technology is transforming the way we travel faster than ever before.
But what's next for 2018?
Here are four ways that new inventions will impact the way we holiday over the next year and beyond.
Whether it's snoring neighbours or loud traffic, too much noise is one of the top complaints when it comes to hotel stays.
To combat sleepless nights, Hilton is trialling two new technologies inside its rooms.
Their first gizmo, Solid Drive, turns any surface - a door, a table, a window - into a speaker.
Hilton is attaching the tech to the headboard near a guest's pillow with the idea that the sound bubble it creates will help you sleep tight at night.
Guests can chose anything from white noise, a podcast or calming music, controlling the device from a tablet on the nightstand.
Their other device, called a Nightingale, emits white noise on frequencies designed to mask annoying sounds.
Designed by audio engineers, the two-unit system customises its output to the unique acoustics of each bedroom.
This creates an even coverage, stopping your brain from understanding where the sound is coming from and helping it to blend into the background.
Forget losing your hotel room key ever again. Hotels.com is piloting a new mobile key that should cut down on check-in times by allowing travellers to open their door with just their smartphones.
The key, which uses technology from Zaplox, is integrated into the Hotels.com app and allows holidaymakers to check in and out of their hotel through their phone, as well as unlock their room.
While the pilot will only initially be trialled at three CABINN branded properties in Denmark, Hotels.com intends on a wider rollout to hotel partners over the next few years.
Hilton already offers a similar service in most of their hotels, so expect to see this everywhere within the decade.
Since virtual reality headset Oculus first arrived as a Kickstarter project back in April 2012, VR has struggled to convince most people that it is more than a fun gimmick.
The price and physical limitations of the technology - try playing virtual basketball in your bedroom without breaking something - has stalled widespread adoption in homes.
In travel, though, VR has found its niche.
Theme parks are already making the most of the tech, with SeaWorld in Orlando and Alton Towers both updating old roller coasters by installing VR goggles for nextlevel thrills.
And this winter, virtual tourism is finally living up to its potential, with the chance to visit a galaxy far, far away.
Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire, is a collaboration between virtual reality park designers The Void, Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic.
Running for 12 weeks from December 16 at The Atrium, Westfield in Shepherds Bush, West London, it's a cross between laser tag and fully immersive VR where you and your friends play the part of stormtroopers.
Gamers wearing untethered VR sets will be able to run around a real-world environment of walls and obstacles that are perfectly mapped to an out-ofthis-world virtual Star Wars environment.
Expect to see a lot more of these interactive attractions at theme parks the world over.
See thevoid.com for bookings.
We're all used to booking and downloading train tickets on our phones, but Trainline is taking things a step further by partnering with voice-controlled Google Assistant.
Passengers can just talk to book tickets and receive real-time updates on timetables and delays.
Available on Google Assistant for Android, iOS and Google Home, the service lets rail users tell Trainline information such as "I'd like to take a train from Manchester to London on December 15 at 9am" and then follow up with intuitive questions such as, "Are there any changes?", "What's the weather like at my destination?" or "Is this an off-peak train?"
The app also takes into account delays and the time required to walk to or from a station.
Trainline's voice app is available now - just say, "OK Google, talk to Trainline," to Google Assistant on iOS, Android or any Assistant-enabled device.

The telecom authority has released a consultation paper on M2M Communications.
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has released a consultation paper on M2M. This paper is TRAI's response to query raised by Department of Telecommunications (DoT), which on 5th January, 2016 sought recommendations from TRAI on three aspects related to M2M Communications: M2M Spectrum Requirements, M2M Roaming Requirements and Quality of Service in M2M Services.
Titled Spectrum, Roaming and QoS related requirements in Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communications, the paper touches upon various M2M issues such as regulatory aspects including policy and licensing framework for M2M service providers, various network codes, data protection, and privacy issues that need to be deliberated.
For discussing these issues, TRAI has also invited stakeholders to collaborate and share their comments and inputs. The written comments on the issues raised in the Consultation Paper are invited from the stakeholders by 15th November, 2016 and counter comments by 29thOctober, 2016.
One must note that the Government of India had released its M2M Communications roadmap last year. While announcing GoI's M2M Communications roadmap, the then telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had said that M2M has great potential to transform India and will be a key enabler for the government vision of Digital India, Make in India and proposed smart cities in India.

Hong Kong bazaar buyers want more colors, reflecting Chinese traditions
The Hinrich Foundation represented the disabled and underprivileged people in Cambodia by selling their products at the Conrad Bazaar in Hong Kong on June 3. Its volunteers observed that buyers wanted to see more items that reflect Chinese traditions and in variety of colors.
Every year we attended the charity bazaar held at the Conrad Apartment, a deluxe residential property in Hong Kong. Hundreds of booths were selling various types of products, including food and beverages, fashion accessories, jewelries, books, and other handmade products.
Our story behind the Cambodia products always attracts new customers. It's really nice to have clients come and tell us that they supported us in the previous bazaars. Some of them would even keep buying our products every time, especially the children.
More colors, themes
Despite having new ornaments, our customers have seen the same products through the years. Avid patrons were no longer attracted to our usual items. A few concerned ones suggested that we could add some new models based on Chinese traditions, such as monkey ornaments to commemorate the Chinese year of the monkey.
We featured handmade iPad and iPhone cases, and Christmas ornaments made of silk, and uniquely designed jewelries.
Some bazaar visitors would like to buy the ornaments based on the color they like. In this case, either we did not bring enough products or don't have the exact color sought for certain kind of ornaments. We realized to consider displaying all available colors for every ornament in the next events.
Broader markets
Helping the Hinrich Foundation, a non-profit organization, Global Trade Leader scholars, Sunil, Nobi, and Bibek, were proud helping to sell handmade products from Cambodia.
Every purchase of Hong Kong residents helps make a better living condition to deaf and disabled artisans in Cambodia. We believe that through this selling, we could find broader markets for their products in Hong Kong.
Through the loyal buyers and supporters of the Export Assistance Program Cambodia of the Hinrich Foundation, most craftsmen, who have polio or deaf, and from poor families, are able to earn a decent salary enough for food and shelter.
Strategic position
After discussing among scholars about the bazaar, we realized that that having a strategic position in the bazaar would help us get more customers, aside from providing more varieties of products. Through the years, our booth was in the same location, which customers easily missed out. We can try to be closer to the front gate next time.

Zika virus (ZIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) are closely related flaviviruses that cause widespread, acute febrile illnesses, notably microcephaly for fetuses of infected pregnant women. Detecting the viral cause of these illnesses is paramount to determine risks to patients, counsel pregnant women, and help fight outbreaks. A combined diagnostic algorithm for ZIKV and DENV requires Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and IgM antibody detection. RT-PCR differentiates between DENV and ZIKV infections during the acute phases of infection, but differentiation based on IgM antibodies is currently nearly impossible in endemic areas. We have developed a ZIKV/DENV protein array and tested it with serum samples collected from ZIKV- and DENV-infected patients and healthy subjects in Puerto Rico. Our analyses reveal a biomarker panel that are capable of discriminating ZIKV and DENV infections with high accuracy, including Capsid protein from African ZIKV strain MR766, and other 5 pair of proteins (NS1, NS2A, NS3, NS4B and NS5) from ZIKV and DENV respectively. Both sensitivity and specificity of the test for ZIKV from DENV are around 90%. We propose that the ZIKV/DENV protein array will be used in future studies to discriminate patients infected with ZIKV from DENV.

evFrom: "Gayle L. Nash" <email @ redacted> Subject: [IP] bad doctors At the time of my diagnosis, my MD was in his sixties and had not updated his medical knowledge in decades. I had to find this out the hard way. I was experiencing all the symptoms--blurred vision, frequent urination, clamminess, dehydration. It still had not occurred to me that I had diabetes even though I lectured on it yearly in my classes and my dad who had just died at 86 had Type II and been on dialysis. I just thought it was time to go back to the ophthalmologist and that I had a bladder infection. Dr. G took a urine sample and came back in the room and said he wanted me to go to the hospital lab. Perhaps he tested for ketones in his back room??? He said he may have bad news. It then clicked--I have diabetes! OK, now here comes the bad part. Once diagnosed, he gave me a pamphlet with a meal plan--low carb--some pills (glucophage) and had me go to the hospital lab weekly for blood work, and then 24 hours later call his office where his secretary would tell me how high my BG was and give me a message for the doctor--usually to watch my carbs, lose weight, and exercise! (evidntly, he was not aware that I could get a meter at the drugstore and do my own testing) I never actually talked to the doctor again--just his receptionist who answered the phone and relayed messages. I was an emotional wreck. I like to bicycle so I bought a very expensive 21 speed to begin my exercise program and , in fact, was at the bike shop picking it up when I made one of my calls to Dr. G. His receptionist told me if I didn't lose weight and exercise I would be on insulin shots the rest of my life--It was as if she was threatening me and it was my fault that I had not gotten my BG under control. That was it--I never called back and searched for another doctor. BTW, I later heard that Dr.G's own nurse had died of a brain tumor that he failed to diagnose. He had treated her for migraines. I found a wonderful young doctor who sent me to a class and treated me for awhile--and yes, four months after diagnosis I was on insulin, but was not made to feel it was my fault.. When I was still not under good control, she sent me to an endo. He was a fairly good doctor--just had me fax him my readings and would adjust my insulin. When I moved to Ohio this year, I was really out of control and finally got in to see a new endo. This man was the best. He is the one who diagnosed me as Type I and agreed to put me on the pump. Having been out of control for years, I am finally beginning to have some decent control. Now if I could control my eating anything and everything I have not been able to eat for 6 years. I am determined to stop that nonsense before I gain all my weight back that I have lost in the past year--diet and exercise, and simply high blood sugar! So, moral of the story--there are ignorant people passing as experts in all fields--buyer beware! Gayle dx'd in 97, pumping 512 one month - ----------------------------------------------- just because a dr is not board certified does not mean he is dumb or incompetant.there are lots of gp's who know more about managing diabetes than an internist. I have found that patients know more about their own illness than the doctors. Board certification is a meaningless qualification. In the final analysis it shows how good you are at test taking and how well you can memorize a group of unrelated usless facts. very scary spot. ---------------------------------------------------------- for HELP or to subscribe/unsubscribe, contact: email@example.com

Lynda Clemmons, VP of NRG Energy's Business Solutions group, talked with GreenBiz senior analyst Elaine Hseish and senior vice president John Davies about how NRG is seeking to give customers what they want, but also, how customers should demand access to clean energy.

~*Disclaimer: If I did own Inuyasha, I wouldn't be typing this out on Windows 95. Oh no. I'd have a brand new computer that didn't freeze on me so many times… *grumble grumble*
"…" – speech
'…' – thoughts
~*~*~ - change in scenery or time
Chapter ONE:
"What the hell did you call me for, Sesshoumaru?"
A silver-haired man sat calmly at his seat as another barged though his door and into his executive office. The businessman continued typing on his computer, ignoring the newcomer.
Still staring at the computer screen, the man demanded of the other, "Sit down, Inuyasha."
The one called Inuyasha stubbornly crossed his arms, intent on disobeying any of the other's commands. If one were to compare the two, they would find the few aspect that plainly pointed out that they were related. They both had the long silver-white hair and slitted amber-gold eyes they had inherited from their father. However, that where the similarities ended.
While the elder brother, Sesshoumaru, had two stripes on either side of his face, and a blue crescent moon-shaped marking on his forehead, the younger's face was clear. Sesshoumaru had an air of sophistication about him and a delicately shaped face that made him seem almost… feminine. He constantly carried about a furry boa on his right shoulder that had earned him the nickname, 'Fluffy' from his younger brother. Needless to say, he wasn't pleased with that.
The younger brother had a stubborn visage that was complimented by his crossed arms and defensive stance. His attitude and demeanour completely set him apart from his brother. While Sesshoumaru rarely showed any form of emotion, he wasn't afraid of letting everybody know how he was, and what he did. However, the thing, or rather, things that set them apart the most, were the dog-ears atop Inuyasha's head.
For you see, Mamoru Inuyasha was but a half-demon; a hanyou, while his brother was a full-blooded youkai. They shared the same father, but had different mothers. Inutaisho, their father, had taken a mate years before- a beautiful full-blooded dog demon. However, she had died upon giving birth to a pup. Sesshoumaru had been raised by the many servants of the household, while his father buried himself in his work.
A few years later, when Sesshoumaru had been but four years of age, Inutaisho had taken another mate, this time, a human named Izayoi. Not soon, she too, became pregnant. At first, the young dog demon had been ecstatic to have a mother and a brother, but as time passed, and Mamoru Inutaisho died, Sesshoumaru finally learned what his brother and step-mother were.
Upon discovering Inuyasha had 'inferior' human blood running through his veins, a hatred had developed. Encourage by the other full-blooded youkai at school, the dog-demon had begun to ignore his little brother, who didn't understand why 'Sesshou-chan' wouldn't play with him anymore.
Once Izayoi had died, the health of young Inuyasha had been entrusted to the servants. Throughout the years the hanyou had lived with his brother, they had ignored each other, only exchanging choice insults now and then.
When the boy had finally escaped to college, he had been only too eager to leave the hellhole of a home. The elder brother had also been enthusiastic about the move, and the two had not had contact for four years.
Which was why it had come as a surprise when Inuyasha had been contacted by Sesshoumaru one day, telling him to visit to 'settle some things'.
So here he was, in his brother's luxurious office in his business building, waiting for the pin to drop.
Sesshoumaru continued to ignore his standing sibling, calmly working at his computer.
The silence dragged on.
Finally, Inuyasha's thin patience snapped, and he erupted, "Well?! I came back here! What the hell do you want?!"
"Sit down, Inuyasha," was the repeated reply.
Glowering, the dog-eared boy sat down dropped into the cusiony chair beside him, sinking downwards. His arms remained crossed, and his eyebrows drew together in a pout. For someone having graduated university, Inuyasha really was quite childish.
After several more minutes of silence, Sesshoumaru pressed a key, and swivelled to face his brother. They stared at each other in a battle of wills, neither willing to back down. The older demon's cool eyes bore into those of the unruly hanyou.
The minutes ticked by, and Inuyasha coughed, tearing his gaze away.
The ghost of a smirk crossing the demon's face, Sesshoumaru folded his hands on his desk, and spoke, "As you know, Father was a very… rich man."
The hanyou snorted.
Disregarding him, he continued, "He had much property, and owned this very corporation. All in all, across Japan, our Father possess-"
Whipping his gaze back to his brother, Inuyasha interrupted his smooth speech, "You fucking called me out here to tell me stuff I already know?" He stood up. "Well then, I'm outta here."
The elder sibling's glance sharpened, "Sit down."
Pausing at his tone of voice, the hanyou turned around to face Sesshoumaru. "What do you have to tell me?"
"Things you will benefit from."
Raising an eyebrow, Inuyasha plopped back down into the chair. "I'm listening."
Face as expressionless as ever, Sesshoumaru resumed, "As you know, Father owned several large mansions spread across Japan. However, at his death, he instructed that most of them would be sold, leaving only three in our possession. One is here in Tokyo, in which I take residence. The second is in the Americas for business trips." He paused to make sure his brother was still listening. "The last, is in the countryside. His will explained, that upon your graduation from university, provided you attended one, this last mansion would be given to you along with everything within it."
The youkai stopped speaking, gazing expressionlessly at his brother.
His brother, whose mouth was wide open in surprise.
Opening and closing his mouth several times, Inuyasha could only gape like an idiot.
"Are you trying to catch flies?" Sesshoumaru's face held the slightest hint of amusement.
Regaining his composure, the hanyou straightened. His mouth closed with a near audible click. "I get… a mansion? Just like that?" his eyes narrowed, "Wait… what's the catch? Why are you giving it to me?"
Nearly sighing at his brother's suspicion, Sesshoumaru withdrew a document, "See here, halfling?" Inuyasha's ears went back at that comment. "This is Father's will. This line explains that the house located on the outskirts of Kyoto will be given to the younger son upon completion of university. He was to be of twenty-four years, or older. You are twenty- four years of age, are you not? There is no catch. I, myself, have never seen this place."
The younger frowned, "But you have heard of it, Fluffy?"
At this, there was an ever so small line in his forehead. "Yes."
"…and…?" Prodded the hanyou.
"Father saw it fit to give the house to you… because… he met your human mother there." His lip curled in the smallest of sneers.
Inuyasha examined his brother's face carefully. He'd thought there had been a brief flash of… sadness, but it was gone now, if it had ever been there at all. When they had been children, Sesshoumaru had loved his stepmother, and had played with Inuyasha. However, when he had discovered what a hanyou was…
Any brotherly feelings had vanished in an instant.
The full-blooded demon turned his attention back to the hanyou. He held out a small envelope, which Inuyasha took questioningly.
Swivelling back to face the computer screen, Sesshoumaru spoke one last time. His voice was soft, "That, little brother, was what I summoned you for. Now go. I have business to attend to."
He resumed typing.
Inuyasha slowly headed towards the door of the office, throwing another glance over his shoulder. The full-blooded youkai was, once again, immersed in his work.
Stepping out of the large room, he closed the door carefully instead of slamming it like he would have done.
"Leaving, Inuyasha-sama?"
The hanyou turned to his right, spotting the secretary's desk. A petit woman sat there, long hair flowing down her back, and lively eyes dancing on her face. She had been the secretary for almost seven months- a record for the longest holder of that position. All of the others had been fired long before for their incompetence.
'Sesshoumaru must really like this one.' He nodded and voiced, "Yeah. See ya next time, Rin."
She smiled, returning to her business- whatever it was, "Hello, this is Mamoru Incorporation. You have reached the office of…"
Her cheery voice was abruptly cut off as Inuyasha walked out of the main office area. His father's business, which now belonged to Sesshoumaru, produced goods, and shipped them world-wide. What it made, Inuyasha neither knew nor cared. He'd never had much of a business sense. Perhaps that's why his father had left the entire company to the elder sibling, instead of splitting it- it was a wise decision.
However, Inuyasha found that he did have an interest in mythology, history, and supernatural occurrings, delving deeper into such things in university. He wasn't an archaeologist as many assumed when they heard what he did. He just liked to investigate unusual happenings. Having only just graduated days prior, he had yet to find a job- not that he needed one, of course.
Stepping into the elevator, Inuyasha pressed the button for the 'ground' floor. Now he'd just have to wait for 45 levels to pass…
He had all the money he could ever need, and now, even had a house all to himself! That left him free to do whatever he wanted, and to study anything.
Not wanting to rely on his brother during his school years, Inuyasha had taken up teaching some of the martial arts in his spare time. Most of his students had been children from age 5 to teenagers up to 17 years of age. While not all of them trusted him- he was a hanyou, after all, he certainly did excel in that area, and was an excellent teacher, if not a little demanding at times.
The money earned had allowed the student to get by with a decent living in the school dormitories. He had shared a room with his best friend since high school, Miroku. All through university, the boy, who insisted that he had descended from a line of monks, had constantly groped every female within 10 metres of him.
Speaking of whom, how far had he gotten with Sango?
They had met Sango in their second year.
Miroku said it was love a first sight.
Well… make that love at first grope.
Inuyasha said he liked her because she hit the hardest.
After a year of being the recipient of non-stop begging, Sango had finally agreed to go out with Miroku. Ever since that date, they had been an on again, off again couple. While they really appeared to like each other, Sango just couldn't take his groping (of other women) and he…
Well, he just begged for forgiveness every time. Not having been apart for longer than a span of three days, whenever they had to 'spend some time apart', he sent a multitude of gifts, ranging from poems to stuffed animals.
She'd always forgive him.
They were a strange couple indeed.
The elevator 'dinged' as it reached the ground floor. Inuyasha stepped out of the chamber with an involuntary shudder- he'd never liked encased spaces. Maybe it had something to do with being trapped for half a night in a closet once with visions of spiders tapping here and there…
Strolling out the large front doors, the hanyou shaded his eyes from the sudden sunlight. Walking to the nearest train station, he waited for the next one that would take him to the apartment he was currently renting. Withdrawing the envelope from a pocket, the silver-haired man ignored the many gawks at his dog-ears, and tore it open.
In it was a single card that gave the address for the country estate. Turning it over, Inuyasha found nothing, and arched an eyebrow. He only got the address?
Turning the white envelope over, he shook it. Into his open palm, fell a solitary key.
He examined the key that was about as long as his index finger, and thinner than a pencil. It appeared to be pretty old, fashioned from a shiny metal. Engraved in it were two words:
"Flower Garden?"
A single car sped down an otherwise deserted road.
In the car, was the driver- a cabby. He appeared to be in his early twenties, about Inuyasha's age. With him, was a hanyou who was steadily being bored to death- the man just wouldn't stop TALKING! Over the past two hours, Inuyasha had been sitting in the backseat of a cab headed towards his new home. During those past two hours, he had been 'entertained' by the seemingly endless stories of his driver.
"…and so, my girlfriend see… love her… sister… parents… sending… college… doctor… sports…" Didn't this guy EVER shut up?
Clearing his throat, Inuyasha interrupted the monologue, "Hey, are we there yet?"
Glancing at the irritated young man through the review mirror, the driver nodded, "Yup. Just a few more minutes, and we'll be coming up to your house."
Inuyasha slumped into the backseat, sighing. There was a momentary lapse in sound. He revelled in the silence.
Damn it! His ears needed a rest!
"… You're headed towards the mansion?"
"Yeah…" was the half-hearted reply.
"What for?"
Inuyasha groaned, "I'm living there."
The taxi suddenly swerved, causing the passenger to collide with the side of the car interior rather painfully.
"What the fuck?!" He glared at the front of the car, noticing the driver's eyes on him on the mirror. "…What?"
Keeping the gaze, the cabby spoke up, suddenly polite, "Well sir, we generally don't get many to drive around too many rich people."
He rubbed his temples. "I'm not really rich. My asshole of a half-brother is. I just leech off of him. That and my lifesavings." Inuyasha shrugged indifferently. Money had never been much of an issue to him.
"And you're moving into the mansion?"
"Are there any others around here?"
"The one with the sealed garden?"
This caught the hanyou's attention. "Wait, what? Sealed garden?"
"You've never heard of it?"
The driver nodded sagely. "Okay then. Now, see, you've got the mansion- beautiful thing, she is. And behind it, is a garden that nobody's been able to enter for years."
"Well for one, there's an extremely tall stone wall that encloses the whole thing, and there isn't a door either. People have tried to break through, but it doesn't even scratch."
Inuyasha tapped his claws against the door. "Why don't they just climb over the wall?"
"They've tried. Nobody can do it. There's a sort of spell on the whole thing. Prevents anyone from even touching the stone two meters above the ground." He continued, "They've tried flying over it. Doesn't work. There's something obstructing the interior of that place from showing through the top. It's like the whole thing's covered in smoke. Anybody who tries to get in is zapped by the spell."
"…Then how do you know it's a garden?"
The cabby smiled, "Because you can see the plants that grow over the cracks near the bottom of the wall."
The hanyou snorted, "A few flowers don't make it a garden."
There was a momentary silence.
Then, "You know, some say that garden's haunted."
Inuyasha's interest was sparked. "Haunted?" he glanced questioningly to the front.
The cab driver nodded, and turned down a smaller path. "You see, there's a legend. They say that 500 years ago, there used to be village here with the most beautiful flowers. There was also a young miko guarding this village and a sacred item that was entrusted to her. They say that she fell in love with a youkai when miko were forbidden from accepting the courtship of demons. But she ignored the rules, and continued to see this youkai.
"Then, one day, tragedy struck- it turned out that the youkai had been playing the lovely priestess all the while, and he had always been planning to take the item she possessed. He destroyed the village, but before he could take the object, he was killed by the very woman he had betrayed. But the miko had been fatally injured in the fight." He paused for breath. "Now, you know how when people die, their souls move on? Well, they say that this miko's soul was too full of guilt for not listening to everybody else, and so sorrowful at her betrayed love, she remained in this world, unable to pass on.
"They say that she was the one who erected the wall, and placed a spell on it. And, the legend says that she remains in the garden to this day, forever protecting the item she had been killed over."
The end of the driver's story was met with silence. The passenger appeared to be deep in thought.
A secret garden?
A ghost?
That seemed like just the thing Inuyasha needed to spend his time on. He would get through the so-called impenetrable wall, and prove that the grove really wasn't as enchanted as it was thought to be- if it was a garden at all. People who were of true spiritual blood, such as priests and priestesses were rare these days, the blood having been mixed with other types.
Not soon, the car pulled to a stop.
"Well, we're here."
Snapping out of his thoughts, Inuyasha got out of the cab. The driver opened the trunk, and hauled out the heavy suitcases. He dropped one on his toe and yelped, jumping up and down in pain mixed with surprise. Ignoring the injured cabby, the hanyou turned around. He could only stare at the huge building that rose before him.
It was an ancient styled mansion that resembled those in the paintings from the feudal ages. It had obviously belonged to some rich lord, possibly the lord of a region. The house had obviously been reinforced through the years. Some of the walls looked newer than the others. It stretched on, and Inuyasha wondered vaguely just how many rooms there were in that place.
Surrounding the mansion was a stretch of grass that was, in turn, encircled by a thin wall that outlined the courtyard. There were several gaps in the wall large enough for several people to walk through at once. He could just make out the fabled stone wall behind the residence.
The driver, having recovered from the sudden pain, patted his passenger's shoulder. "Hey, so have fun in your new villa- lots to explore. Who knows? Maybe you'll be the one to enter the garden for 500 years."
Inuyasha paid the man for the ride, and he climbed back into his cab.
"Hey. What's your name?"
The driver looked through the opened window. "My name? It's Houjo."
The hanyou nodded absently. "Right. Bye, Hobo."
Pulling out of the courtyard and onto the dirt road, the driver shouted back, "It's Houjo!"
Inuyasha waved once and turned his attention back to his new house. Walking up to it, he discovered that there were no locks on the sliding doors. There must have been no need for them.
He shrugged.
The area was safe enough, anyway. Besides, he cracked his knuckles, if there were any intruders, he would take care of them himself.
Carrying his heavy bags easily, Inuyasha slid open the main door, and stepped inside, breathing in the musky smell of a space unused. Glancing around, he found himself in an open room with a few sliding doors leading to different parts of the residence. There'd be some exploring to do.
He dropped the baggage.
"Well… I guess I'm home."
[Yes -- I have started The Sealed Garden.
Originally "The Secret Garden", but 'Sealed' is more appropriate for the setting, ne?
I have yet to decide on the secondary genre: it's a war between Drama, Supernatural, Mystery, and [possible] Humour.
I'll just have to see how this story runs! ^-^
The legend was crudely told because… well… Houjo was telling it! ^_^;;
Till next time!]

That Sridevi has defied all concepts of aging is a well-known fact. This ethereal beauty has been proving time and again that age is just a number.
Though Sridevi has nailed every sort of outfit of late, we just cannot rule out the fact that she looks the prettiest in the Indian attire, saree. From Kanjeevaram to brocade to silk to crepe-print sarees, Sridevi has nailed them all with absolute grace.
Recently, on the sets of Nach Baliye, Sridevi was spotted in a plain beige saree. Even as she stood alongside Lootera actress Sonakshi Sinha, no prizes for guessing who out of the two looked more radiant!
The Manish Malhotra saree Sridevi wore to Nach Baliye is going to remain on our list of favourites for a few reasons--first, it is extremely elegant, because it just one colour, beige, with a really thin brown border; second, it's been paired with a purple brocade blouse, which is pure genius; third, Sridevi decided to wear a choker of emeralds and pearls with the beige-purple ensemble.
We also love the fact that Sridevi kept her makeup to a bare-minimum, adding a touch of grace with a simple purple bindi. All we have to say after looking at the actress in this ensemble is, keep redefining the image of grace for us, Sridevi!

Polo Shirts and Miracles
This past month our team had been been notified of a court warrant, and we spent many weeks searching for one child who needed to testify. We tried to ask his friends and even sent the police team to find him, but had no success. There was almost no hope. The last night before the trial, I prayed and believed that God will work his magic when it came to this uncontrollable situation. At 9.30 pm., the boy sent me a text saying 'I am hungry, can you come feed me?' I rushed out with a few staff to meet him to make sure he would be ready for court the next day. We met him and took him to eat. He was wearing a black t-shirt with a marijuana leaf pattern and had ripped jeans. He said these were the only clothes he owns. We took him to get a polo shirt, a new pair of jeans, a belt, and underwear. He lifted up the polo shirt and told us that this is the shirt he always wanted. His face broke out into a huge smile. Miracles happen!

Joe originally hails from New York City. Joe started playing professionally (drums) at the age of 12 . He soon taught himself to play the guitar, bass, & piano. He performed in various bands in the 70s (Atlantis, Reaper, Centaur). Joe also met John Lennon in June 1977 on Broadway & 52nd street in Manhattan which changed my life. He former "Rubber Soul" (Beatles Tribute) and toured up and down the east coast playing Beatles conventions, Festivals, and dinner theaters in the early 80s. Joe also began writing around this time
In 1983 after "Rubber Soul" disbanded, Joe joined "The Elevators", a new wave original pop group in Manhattan which penned and recorded original dance music. The band played The China Club, CBGB's and The Bitter End. One of the songs "Whatcha Gonna Do" was featured in the 1984 movie "Perfect" starring John Travolta and Jamie Leigh Curtis. In April 1988 Joe relocated to Houston, Texas. In 1992 he joined "Troy Hess & Dangerous Livin'" and continued on with Troy Hess in "Zebra Three". In 1999, he was offered the "Paul McCartney" role in the national Beatles tribute act "Come Together". This also lead to performing with "The Cast of Beatlemania" as their "Paul" fill in for original Broadway cast members Mitch Weissman and Lenie Colacino.
At age nine, Chuck stuck his head into a stereo speaker to better hear "I Want To Hold Your Hand", and the rest as they say is history. His first bands in middle and high school won numerous talent show prizes and played at local venues all over town. In the late 70s he moved up onto the club and party circuit with his band "Crystal", a highly sought after Top 40 band touring the southeast. Chuck then took a 20 year hiatus from music while he earned a Master's Degree and began a career & family.
In 1996 he formed the legendary North Houston band "Strange Brew" (one of Houston's Best Classic Rock Bands). Chuck joined "The Fab 5" in January 2000, and his style of guitar playing was a refreshing burst of energy to the band. He is a certifiable lunatic onstage, jumping and dancing and frequently leaving the stage to party with the dancing crowds!
Bobby comes from the "Jazz Capital " of the world, New Orleans. At a very young age, he experienced the excitement of the British Invasion, and was drawn into a musical stream.
After the family relocated to Galveston in 1967, the Texas Music scene was exploding and that would start the life long adventure that would take him to stages though out the United States. Sharing the stage with the likes of many great artists as Steve Marriott, John Waite, Cheap Trick, and many many others.
He was a founding member of the Houston Based Bands "Southern, Smokin, Toyz, Mercenary , and Almost Endless Summer ".
Bobby is a keyboardist who thrives to bring to the live stage ,the wide spectrum of sound that was only accomplished in recording studios in the past.
In 1969 musician Danny Kristensen (14 at the time) was playing in his garage band "Proper Circle" and signed with Picture records when he met Neal Witwer. The two hit it off and they soon formed with Phil Ochoa the band known as "1900 Storm" and were signed with Texas Revolution records. Throughout the next decades the "1900 Storm" became one of the most successful rock bands in Texas history. In 1976 Danny joined a group called "Circus" that had a rotating cast of characters including Richard Morant, Bruce Moody, Craig Beasley and drummer Dick Ross. Ross would later go on to play in Austin bands the Vendettas and F-Systems before a stint with Joe "King" Carrasco. From 1984 to 1991, Danny (along with Bruce Moody, Ric Plunk, and Rick Richards) formed Private Numbers. The band produced and released three albums, eleven music videos plus two television shows that featured the band's music videos as well as interviews. In 1990, the band wrote and recorded a wake-up song for the crew of NASA's Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-31) on the morning they deployed the Hubble Space Telescope. In 2012, Danny along with Boby Fossier, Richard Morant, and John McKay formed the Beach Boys tribute/classic rock band "Almost Endless Summer" and perform throughout Houston at festivals and major convert venues. The Fab 5 were thrilled when Danny joined in February 2018 and he works very hard at his craft to reproduce the lead guitar parts of those timeless Beatles tunes exactly as George did.
Rod was born in Shreveport, Louisiana. Rod's mother sang professionally at officers clubs, supper clubs--sang all styles--from big band tunes to all the popular hits of the day. Rods' family opened a musical instrument store in Houston in the early '70's. Rod began a musical career and did extensive touring around Texas and throughout the southern portions of the U.S. in the 80's to as far away as the United Arab Emirates (Persian Gulf). performing everything from country and rock to swing, blues and R&B. This versatility has led to opportunities in the studio, recording with the likes of Texas singer/songwriter/stylists "Davin James" and "Clay Farmer", along with musicians extraordinaire Paul Burnett and Robert DiBlanco. With characteristic enthusiasm, Rod says, "SHOWTIME—that's when the music comes alive!" Call him 'RingoRod' or 'ModRod', he has the uncanny ability to mimic the drummers he portrays, while keeping solid, steady time, and always flashing that Cheshire-cat grin. Rod, who joined the band in March 1991 after a phone call from a go-getter who would turn out to be 'Hullabaloo' Bill, is responsible for the bands foray into costuming as he is" The Idea Man". "The Fab 5" is so much fun, the tunes are timeless, the camaraderie is great and like-minded with years of experience. When we play, I just embody that spirit. As the drummer, its got to groove to be Groovy Baby!"

Insects and other foods the trout may be eating:
1. Blue-winged Olives
2. Little Black Winter Stoneflies
3. Quill Gordon Mayflies
4. Blue Quill Mayflies
5. Little Brown Stoneflies
6. Little Black Caddis (American Grannoms)
7. Hendricksons and Red Quills
8. Little Short Horned Sedges
9. American March Brown
10. Sculpin, baitfish and small crayfish (Imitate with streamers)
11 Midges
Cinnamon Caddis:
Another aquatic insect that should start hatching any day now is the Cinnamon
Caddisfly. Before I begin to get into this insect, I want to remind you that the
caddisfly is the most miss-understood insect that exist in trout streams. The
Cinnamon Caddis is no exception to this. As with most all of the cadddisflies, the
average angler does not recognize this hatch until it is too late to do them any good.
When you start seeing them in the bushes, in the air and on the banks crawling
around, you have already probably missed the best part of the hatch. That doesn't
mean there will not be any more that hatch, but it does mean every one you see has
already hatched and it may possibly be over completely. Unlike mayflies, caddisflies
can live a long time out of the water before mating and dieing.
Now when I say you have missed the hatch, what I mean is you have missed the
emergence. You still have an opportunity to catch trout that will feed on the egg
laying part of the hatch. The problem is the caddisflies you see may not deposit
their eggs for a day or even a week. Usually, the egg laying activity progresses at
about the same speed or rate as the hatch occurs.
The Cinnamon Caddis is the most common name used for the
species of caddisflies. In the Eastern United States, this is the most common
caddisfly you will see on trout streams. They are net spinners, which represent
about 70% of all the caddisflies that exist on trout streams. They are very similar to
the Spotted Sedges, or
species, also fairly common in the East but
moreso in the Western and Mid-western U. S. Now don't let the scientific names bug
you. I just want to make certain I qualify the particular insects I am writing about for
those that are very familiar with them. If you have been on a trout stream anytime
during the late Spring, Summer or early Fall, anywhere in the East, chances are you
have seen these caddisflies. About the only difference in them appearance wise, is
the Spotted Sedges tend to have some subdued spots on their wings and the
Cinnamon Caddis's wings are a little more of a solid color. Some species, of which
there are many, are difficult to distinguish from each other.
All in all, compared to other trout streams consisting of tailwaters, spring creeks and
many freestone streams, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park have few
Cinnamon Caddis. The reason is the generally low pH of the water. They are more
common in water that has a high pH. The reason is they exist in streams in large
numbers that have lots of algae. Algae don't grow very well in low pH streams. The
larvae of the net-spinners, they are called, make little nets and suspend them in the
current to catch their food. Abrams Creek has lots of these caddisflies. All of the
streams have some species of
, but they don't exist in large quantities.
If you fish any of the tailwaters in Tennessee or North Carolina, or anywhere else in
the East for that matter, you have seen plenty of these caddis.
If you are fishing
any trout stream in the East that has a slick bottom, there will be Cinnamon
Caddis species present and most likely, plenty of them.
In the next three or four articles, I will go over how you fish this hatch. You can catch
trout from it in all of the streams in the park from now until the middle of July. There
are several species that hatch in the park and chances are there will be some
around most of this time period.
The big deal with them is that if you can catch
a hatch just starting, you can catch plenty of trout eating their pupae
. Trout
key in on them because it is so easy for them to eat the pupae when they are
coming off. Again, most anglers miss this part of the hatch. One reason is they
simply can't see what is occurring. During the hatch, the trout eat the emerging
pupae. They do this as the pupae are accenting to the surface to change into an
adult caddisfly. All you may be able to see is a flash from a trout eating one near the
surface. Sometimes, during a large hatch, the trout will jump completely out of the
water chasing them to the surface. Most anglers don't fish the hatch until they start
seeing lots of the caddisflies, long after the majority of the hatch has occurred.
Then they usually tie on an Elk Hair caddisfly and usually get little, if any, results.
Unless the trout are keying in on the egg layers (if there are any depositing their
eggs) you would be waisting time.
You can also catch trout on imitations of the larvae. They are little worm like
creatures that hang out on their silk line dangling in the current when they are
eating. Fishing imitations of the larvae is best within the month or two leading up to
the time the hatch starts. That would have worked great during the past month and
it should work for the next month or so right now on Abrams Creek.

Two additional important elements of the well-built clinical question to consider are the type of foreground question and the type of study (methodology). This information can be helpful in focusing the question and determining the most appropriate type of evidence. Foreground questions can be further divided into questions that relate to therapy, diagnosis, prognosis, etiology/harm Knowing the type of foreground question can help you select the best study design to answer your question. You always want to look for the study design that will yield the highest level of evidence. Consult the pyramid (click the image to enlarge it) and the definitions below. To see more info on the relationship between study design and question type, check out Chapter Four "What is the Question? from the Users' Guide to the Medical Literature.

A clinical question needs to be directly relevant to the patient or problem at hand and phrased in such a way as to facilitate the search for an answer. PICO makes this process easier. It is a mnemonic for the important parts of a well-built clinical question. It also helps formulate the search strategy by identifying the key concepts that need to be in the article that can answer the question. PICO or PICOTT: PATIENT OR PROBLEM How would you describe a group of patients similar to yours? What are the most important characteristics of the patient?

P I C O: Formulate an Answerable Question
Posted: at 5:17 am
Questions often spring to mind in a form that makes finding answers in the medical literature a challenge. Dissecting the question into its component parts and restructuring it so that it is easy to find the answers is an essential first step in Evidence Based Medicine (EBM). Many questions can be divided into 4 parts: Many clinical or research questions can be divided into these four components, which we call P I C O. Try to use all four parts of the question, if possible. Different types of questions The most common type of clinical question is about how to treat a disease or condition. In Evidence Based Medicine (EBM), treatments and therapies are called interventions and such questions are questions of INTERVENTION. Not all research questions are about interventions. Other types of questions may arise: In each case the P I C O method can be used to formulate the question, as shown in the following examples. You can use the same approach to research qualitative questions about health issues of a more general nature (i.e. PHENOMENA). In this case, the question will consist of P and O only. The studies that you will need to find in the … Continue reading

About sodium picosulfate Type of medicine Stimulant laxative Used for Constipation and before some surgery or medical examinations Also called For constipation: Dulcolax Pico For before medical procedures: CitraFleet; Picolax Available as Capsules, oral solution, sachets of powder Constipation can be caused by a poor diet, not drinking enough water and not going to the toilet as soon as you feel you need to. Pregnancy, a lack of exercise or movement (such as being ill in bed) and some medicines, including some painkillers, can also cause constipation. However, many people take laxatives when they do not need to because they believe that they are constipated unless they go to the toilet every day. This is not the case. A useful definition of constipation is going to the toilet less frequently than is normal for you, and passing hard stools (poo) when you do go. Sodium picosulfate works by encouraging the muscles in your bowel to move waste products through your body. This helps you to go to the toilet. It usually has an effect within 6-12 hours. Sodium picosulfate preparations are available to buy without a prescription at pharmacies and other retail outlets. Preparations containing sodium picosulfate (in combination with … Continue reading

Retrospective cohort study – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Posted: February 11, 2015 at 6:42 am
A retrospective cohort study, also called a historic cohort study, generally means to take a look back at events that already have taken place. For example, the term is used in medicine, describing a look back at a patient's medical history or lifestyle. Retrospective cohort studies have existed for approximately as long as prospective cohort studies.[1] It is a medical research study in which the medical records of groups of individuals who are alike in many ways but differ by a certain characteristic (for example, female nurses who smoke and those who do not smoke) are compared for a particular outcome (such as lung cancer).[2] In retrospective cohort studies, a risk ratio or odds ratio gives an assessment of relative risk.[3] In the case of a retrospective cohort study, the investigator collects data from past records and does not follow patients up as is the case with a prospective study. However, the starting point of this study is the same as for all cohort studies. The first objective is still to establish two groups - exposed versus non-exposed; and these groups are followed up in the ensuing time period. In a nutshell, in Retrospective Cohort Study, all the events - … Continue reading
