- "Hide and Sleek!"
- —Trap Shadow's official catchphrase
Trap Shadow is a feline-like hunter who is one of the SWAP Force Skylanders in Skylanders: Swap Force.
Character Development
During development, Trap Shadow originally was a scary character that had a bowie knife. [1]
The finest feline tracker of his tribe, Trap Shadow was the go-to cat if you wanted something caught. He mostly keeps himself to himself. However, since becoming a Skylander, he's been trying to become a team player. You have to get up early to catch Trap Shadow out - as the wicked wizards discovered. He sniffed out their plans and trapped them before they could trap him (or Eon, for that matter). [2]
Once part of an elite tribe of hunters in a remote area of Skylands, Trap Shadow used his cat-like cunning, ingenious traps and mystical stealth abilities to catch nearly everything that could be caught. As a result, his fame around Skylands grew so much that it attracted the attention of an evil cadre of wizards. They plotted to capture Trap Shadow and use his abilities to ensnare the most uncatchable thing of all - Master Eon himself. But Trap Shadow could sense them coming from miles away. Outsmarted and outmaneuvered, each of the wizards was easily captured by Trap Shadow's bewildering array of traps and snares until they were all locked away for good. Having saved Master Eon, he quickly made Trap Shadow a Skylander.
Trap Shadow attacks by slashing enemies with his shadowy claws, and can kick waves of shadows at foes. He can also throw magical traps that snap and damage enemies, and even turn invisible by using shadows, and create an explosion of shadows when reappearing.

Character Trailers
- After purchasing his Soul Gem ability, "Shadow Striker", Trap Shadow wears the bandanna around his neck over his muzzle.
- When he turns invisible, his eyes glow purple, but in the Sneak SWAP Zone, he will fully vanish while leaving his purple aura shown at the bottom.
- His appearance has some of the features of a saber-tooth cat (long fangs), panther (facial features), and tiger (fur color patterns).
- He is the second SWAP Force Skylander with the ability to turn invisible, but only when his Soul Gem ability, "Living Shadow", is purchased. If not, enemies and bosses will spot him. Also, he stays invisible much shorter than Stink Bomb and can do so while the second attack button is held down.
- He resembles Tiger Claw from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
- He is the only SWAP Force Skylander on the 3DS with no dash attack upgrade.
- He has many abilities that would be later associated with hiding in shadows and using dark magic, later associated with the Dark Element.
- Oddly, these abilties were associated with Undead skylanders at the time of Swap Force's release, not Magic.
- Trap Shadow's Italian catchphrase is "Furtivo Ed Elegante!", which isn't a pun on anything and translates to "Furtive And Sleek!".

Tommee Tippee Review
Much to the doctor and dentist's dismay, my boys all use sippy cups. They say it makes them high risk but I stick to my belief that they'd be higher risk without them because I'd get awful tired of cleaning up the messes when they don't pay attention and tip their cups over, which only happens about twice a meal.
Thankfully, my kitchen is well equipped with Tommee Tippee cups. My boys and I love these cups and have gotten quite the collection. My favorite thing about these cups is that they are truly no-spill. As long as they are put together properly, something even B and C can do, they will not leak. This makes them the perfect cup, not only in my kitchen, but also in the car, in the diaper bag, and anywhere else we may be. It is super nice to just not worry!
Tommee Tippee cups well over a year ago and they still look almost brand new, even with nightly trips through the dishwasher. This is awesome for all of us who have more than one child because we can use them again and again.
Thank you Tommee Tippee!

~ Thor's Well ~
This natural wonder is located on the Oregon Coast. It's approximately twenty feet in diameter and about fifteen feet deep. Water enters through the bottom with an incredible amount of force and then shoots upward to heights of twenty feet, it quickly recedes down the walls and back out to sea before another large wave hits. I have been here four times and never seem to walk away with dry clothes.
I always come back to this image. When we were in Oregon, I had wanted to photograph Thor's Well, but I was just too timid to try to get down there. My loss.
Beautifully composed long exposure capture!
Extraordinary capture!
This is amazing to me on two levels. First, just for the image itself. Second for the fact that as many times as I have vacationed in Yachats, I've never heard of Thor's Well. I've seen some surge channels along the rocky coast there that force up great gouts of sea water, but this one is new to me.
I really like the comp. Thor's Well could stand alone but the sun on the horizon just knocked it up a notch. Very nice.
What a great place, I need to add it to my "list" - great shot too. Wet clothes reminder to self (me): go in warm weather. ;-)
Sounds like a Great Place to see...
(LOL about the wet clothes)
Amazing shot! I love the colors and the water movement!

We prove that if T is an omega-categorical supersimple theory with nontrivial dependence (given by forking), then there is a nontrivial regular 1-type over a finite set of reals which is realized by real elements; hence forking induces a nontrivial pregeometry on the solution set of this type and the pregeometry is definable (using only finitely many parameters). The assumption about omega-categoricity is necessary. This result is used to prove the following: If V is a finite relational vocabulary with maximal arity 3 and T is a supersimple V-theory with elimination of quantifiers, then T has trivial dependence and finite SU-rank. This immediately gives the following strengthening of [18, Theorem 4.1]: if M is a ternary simple homogeneous structure with only finitely many constraints, then Th(M) has trivial dependence and finite SU-rank. (C) 2019 Published by Elsevier B.V.
We describe all binary simple homogeneous structures M in terms of ∅-definable equivalence relations on M, which "coordinatize" M and control dividing, and extension properties that respect these equivalence relations.
Let M be ternary, homogeneous and simple. We prove that if M is finitely constrained, then it is supersimple with finite SU-rank and dependence is k-trivial for some k < omega and for finite sets of real elements. Now suppose that, in addition, M is supersimple with SU-rank 1. If M is finitely constrained then algebraic closure in M is trivial. We also find connections between the nature of the constraints of M, the nature of the amalgamations allowed by the age of M, and the nature of definable equivalence relations. A key method of proof is to "extract" constraints (of M) from instances of dividing and from definable equivalence relations. Finally, we give new examples, including an uncountable family, of ternary homogeneous supersimple structures of SU-rank 1.
Suppose that M is countable, binary, primitive, homogeneous, and simple. We prove that the SU-rank of the complete theory of M is 1 and hence 1-based. It follows that M is a random structure. The conclusion that M is a random structure does not hold if the binarity condition is removed, as witnessed by the generic tetrahedron-free 3-hypergraph. However, to show that the generic tetrahedron-free 3-hypergraph is 1-based requires some work (it is known that it has the other properties) since this notion is defined in terms of imaginary elements. This is partly why we also characterize equivalence relations which are definable without parameters in the context of omega-categorical structures with degenerate algebraic closure. Another reason is that such characterizations may be useful in future research about simple (nonbinary) homogeneous structures.
Let V be a finite relational vocabulary in which no symbol has arity greater than 2. Let math formula be countable V-structure which is homogeneous, simple and 1-based. The first main result says that if math formula is, in addition, primitive, then it is strongly interpretable in a random structure. The second main result, which generalizes the first, implies (without the assumption on primitivity) that if math formula is "coordinatized" by a set with SU-rank 1 and there is no definable (without parameters) nontrivial equivalence relation on M with only finite classes, then math formula is strongly interpretable in a random structure.
We study finite -colourable structures with an underlying pregeometry. The probability measure that is usedcorresponds to a process of generating such structures by which colours are first randomly assigned to all1-dimensional subspaces and then relationships are assigned in such a way that the colouring conditions aresatisfied but apart from this in a random way. We can then ask what the probability is that the resulting structure,where we now forget the specific colouring of the generating process, has a given property. With this measurewe get the following results: (1) A zero-one law. (2) The set of sentences with asymptotic probability 1 has anexplicit axiomatisation which is presented. (3) There is a formula ξ (x, y) (not directly speaking about colours)such that, with asymptotic probability 1, the relation "there is an -colouring which assigns the same colourto x and y" is defined by ξ (x, y). (4) With asymptotic probability 1, an -colourable structure has a unique-colouring (up to permutation of the colours).
Suppose that M is an infinite structure with finite relational vocabulary such that every relation symbol has arity at most 2. If M is simple and homogeneous, then its complete theory is supersimple with finite SU-rank which cannot exceed the number of complete 2-types over the empty set.
A systematic study is made, for an arbitrary finite relational language with at least one symbol of arity at least 2, of classes of nonrigid finite structures. The well known results that almost all finite structures are rigid and that the class of finite structures has a zero-one law are, in the present context, the first layer in a hierarchy of classes of finite structures with increasingly more complex automorphism groups. Such a hierarchy can be defined in more than one way. For example, the kth level of the hierarchy can consist of all structures having at least k elements which are moved by some automorphism. Or we can consider, for any finite group G, all finite structures M such that G is a subgroup of the group of automorphisms of M; in this case the "hierarchy" is a partial order. In both cases, as well as variants of them, each "level" satisfies a logical limit law, but not a zero-one law (unless k = 0 or G is trivial). Moreover, the number of (labelled or unlabelled) n-element structures in one place of the hierarchy divided by the number of n-element structures in another place always converges to a rational number or to infinity as n -> infinity. All instances of the respective result are proved by an essentially uniform argument.
A condition, in two variants, is given such that if a property P satisfies this condition, then every logic which is at least as strong as first-order logic and can express P fails to have the compactness property. The result is used to prove that for a number of natural properties P speaking about automorphism groups or connectivity, every logic which is at least as strong as first-order logic and can express P fails to have the compactness property. The basic idea underlying the results and examples presented here is that it is possible to construct a countable first-order theory T such that every model of T has a very rich automorphism group, but every finite subset T' of T has a model which is rigid.
We study definable sets D of SU-rank 1 in Meq, where M is a countable homogeneous and simple structure in a language with finite relational vocabulary. Each such D can be seen as a 'canonically embedded structure', which inherits all relations on D which are definable in Meq, and has no other definable relations. Our results imply that if no relation symbol of the language of M has arity higher than 2, then there is a close relationship between triviality of dependence and D being a reduct of a binary random structure. Somewhat more precisely: (a) if for every n≥2, every n-type p(x1,...,xn) which is realized in D is determined by its sub-2-types q(xi,xj)⊆p, then the algebraic closure restricted to D is trivial; (b) if M has trivial dependence, then D is a reduct of a binary random structure.

Quality is a huge determining factor when it comes to the purchase of a long-term investment item such as a bathtub. In the purchase of items such as this, it is in your best interest to assess the quality of the products to ensure that they will last as long as you expect them to. Here are three criteria to consider when making a bathtub purchase.
1. Full-bodied construction
Full-bodied construction means that the product is made of the same material throughout. If you were to cut the product in half across any axis, you will find the same material on the inside as on the outside.
An affordable and equally full-bodied material would be proprietary composites. These are stone, mineral and resin mixtures that are moulded into a single solid bathtub like DADOquartz bathtubs. These bathtubs are made of a non-porous material with no fissures, veins or other imperfections.
Some composites do not completely qualify as full-bodied. This is because they are made from material such as crushed fillers mixed with resin, set and then followed up with a gel coat. If you find that the product has differing materials in other areas it could lead to irreparable cracks or compromised structural integrity of the product.
2. Surface coatings
This criterion investigates the true surface of the product and scrutinises the thickness of the product's rim. What you can do to assess this is to have a look at the bottom and the side of the product to see that there are no colour and material variations.
If you turn a product upside down and find bubbles, veins and crevasses in the material, this should be a red flag. Bubbles show that the fibre matrix is not as stable as it should be, this could lead to cracking and product failure in some cases. It would also be possible that one of these bubbles could show up on the surface of the product at a later stage.
Most bathroomware products made from solid material are typically layered with a gel-coat finish which is equivalent to a paint finish. Although scratches on this surface can be buffed out, the gel-coat finish can become brittle and expose the material underneath, leading to cracks. This material doesn't stand up as well as proprietary composites like DADOquartz that has no additional coating on the products because of the quartz material used in manufacturing.
3. Product thickness
When it comes to the thickness of the bathtub, an easy way to compare the strength-to-weight ratio of a bathtub is to look at the thickness of the bathtub's rim and waste. Although styles and product designs may differ to accommodate details such as shape or an overflow system, material with high-strength characteristics will be able to produce very thin bathtubs without any concern. DADOquartz bathtubs are available with a rim width as thin as 10mm, an illustration of the material's strength.

Spondylosis deformans is a degenerative, noninflammatory condition of the spinal column characterized by the production of bone spurs along the bottom, sides, and upper aspects of the vertebrae of the spine. These bone spurs are simply projected growths of bone, usually grown in response to aging, or injury.
In dogs, spondylosis deformans occurs most often along the spine, in the area behind the chest, and on the upper section of the vertebrae of the lower back. Older, large-breed dogs are at highest risk for developing spondylosis deformans. In cats it tends to occur more often in the vertebrae of the chest.

Péraud still in hospital after Dauphiné crash
French TT champion won't defend title
Jean-Christophe Péraud of the Omega Pharma-Lotto is still in hospital in Lyon after pulling out of the Critérium du Dauphiné following stage three.
Related Articles
His team doctor told French newspaper L'Equipe that he is suffering from severe dehydration and stomach problems but according to his agent Michel Gros, he is suffering from blood poisoning and will remain in hospital at least until Monday.
Péraud crashed into a team car during stage one of the Critérium du Dauphiné as he was on his way back to the peloton but managed to finish the stage despite cuts and bruises all over his body. He then crashed again the next day but with fewer consequences.
The mountain bike silver medallist at the Beijing Olympic Games finished eighth overall at Paris-Nice and fourth at the Volta al Pais Vasco this year but joked after his recent crash: "Maybe I'm not made for racing in a peloton and I should go back to my dirt tracks because they don't move."
Péraud insisted on riding the individual time trial stage at the Critérium du Dauphiné but suffered and finished just 41st. His Omega Pharma-Lotto team minimised his health problems but Gros said it still not clear if Péraud would be able to leave hospital on Monday.
"The treatment will depend on which kind of virus he's affected by," Gros said.
Péraud is not expected to defend his French time trial title on June 24 in Chantonnay and questions remain about his chances of riding the Tour de France. Péraud was recruited by the Belgian squad in November after world champion Cadel Evans quit the team to join BMC.

De Beers was honored for its HIV/AIDS counseling and testing policies by the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS recently.
The company received the award at the GBC's Awards for Business Excellence gala, where the speakers included Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton, and actress Angelina Jolie, a spokeswoman for the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.
AIDS has become a serious issue for De Beers. The backbone of the company is in AIDS-ravaged Botswana, where as much as a third of the population has the disease.
De Beers was commended for its programs run in partnership with the South African National Union of Mineworkers, which has led to an increase in the number of workers being tested. In some campaigns, 80 percent to 90 percent of the workplace received testing.
De Beers said in a statement that testing is effective only if offered as part of a comprehensive program. Without being able to offer access to treatment to those who discover they are HIV-positive, there is little incentive for individuals to come forward. So the company offers free anti-retroviral treatment to employees and a spouse or life partner. De Beers also has extended the policy to retired or laid-off employees.
The company also has a peer educator program that uses employees to encourage testing by destigmatizing the disease.
"We recognize the need for a progressive and innovative approach to meet the threat posed by the epidemic to our business, our employees, their families, and the communities in which we operate," said Jonathan Oppenheimer, chairman of De Beers Consolidated Mines.

Green cleaning has been becoming more and more popular among commercial facilities and 2019 may be the year when green cleaning completely takes over in the janitorial world. But, what makes green cleaning so important? One critical factor is the potential harm that may result from the use of traditional cleaning chemicals. It is important for public facilities, such as schools, hospitals and nursing homes to understand the science behind cleaning and how the chemicals in many products may affect human health.
Properly selecting and using green cleaning products may help to safeguard the safety and health of your building occupants as well as the planet. Science has made it quite clear that the products used for cleaning can have a significant impact on building occupants. Many traditional products have been shown to contribute to health problems such as skin, eye and respiratory irritation as well as allergic and asthma reactions; all of which may lead to complaints and hurt attendance and productivity. To ensure your facility is putting their best foot forward when it comes to green cleaning in 2019, here are a few suggestions for replacing cleaning products with those that reduce potential harm.
The biggest change in your facility could be represented by what chemicals are used. One of the most important factors to consider is that a green cleaning program in 2019 will shift the focus away from the appearance of the space in favor of the health of the space and its occupants. So, a clean facility is also a healthy facility and one that looks good as well. Green cleaning products should include carpet cleaners, hard floor cleaners, general purpose cleaners, disinfectants, odor control, hand soaps and janitorial paper products. It is essential that each product meets one or more of the proper third-party certified labeling standards, which include:
Green Seal Certified
GREENGUARD certified
CRI Green Label Certified
EPA DFE Certified
FSC Certified
ECOLOGO Certified
Train Your Staff
It is important that you train your staff on the green cleaning practices you want to put in place. Although the custodial staff should be trained at their time of hire, it is essential that regular training sessions and reviews occur even after their initial hiring period. Educating your staff about the need for the change, the benefits of green cleaning and the differences between using traditional cleaners and green cleaners will help to implement the program. Make sure everyone is trained, not just those who will be using the new products and equipment. This will help to ensure that everyone understands that you are transitioning to a green cleaning program and how the processes and products will be different when going forward.
One of the components of a comprehensive green cleaning program is the cleaning equipment used. When replacing the cleaning equipment to greener products, there are three characteristics that each new piece of cleaning equipment should have:
Ergonomic design, which is necessary to minimize the vibration and noise as well as user fatigue
Safeguards, which are necessary to ensure that the building surfaces do not experience any damages during cleaning
When possible, look for equipment that has been made with recycled materials and/or materials that can be reused, repurposed and/or recycled at the end of its lifespan.
One of the most important parts of switching to a green cleaning program includes considering where your cleaning supplies will be stored. It is recommended that a locked janitorial closet be in an easily accessible location and that it includes proper hot and cold water supplies as well as a drain system. It is also important to implement the use of a cleaning log, preferably in or near the janitorial closet. The log should include when cleaning was done, the areas that were cleaned and what cleaning products were used in each area. Keep in mind that it is common for employees and janitorial staff to "slip" back into non-green cleaning habits, so it is essential that routine training classes and set cleaning standards be enforced.

NC to call CWC, Mahasamiti meetings shortlyAfter a poor show in the recently concluded elections to the House of Representatives and Provincial Assemblies, the Nepali Congress has decided to call its Central Working Committee meeting to review the poll results.
After a poor show in the recently concluded elections to the House of Representatives and Provincial Assemblies, the Nepali Congress has decided to call its Central Working Committee meeting to review the poll results. The party will convene a meeting of Mahasamiti, the highest policy making body of the party, soon after the CWC meeting, according to the party leaders.
Pressure has been mounting on the party leadership from senior leaders to call the CWC and Mahasamiti meetings to review the election results and explore a way forward for the party.
"We are holding the CWC meeting soon," said senior Nepali Congress leader Dr Shekhar Koirala. "As soon as we conclude the CWC meeting, we will also press the leadership to call a Mahasamiti meeting." According to Koirala, besides formation of the left alliance, some structural and organisational defects were responsible for the party's defeat.
"I lost the elections by merely 675 votes, while two NC candidates won the elections to the Provincial Assembly with margin of two and three thousands votes. Wasn't that a sabotage against me?" asked Koirala, who lost to UML's left alliance candidate Lalbabu Pandit in the federal parliament election from Morang-6.
Vowing to raise the issue in both the meetings, he said such saboteurs should be boycotted politically and socially.
Amid speculation that party insiders had been involved in sabotage in various districts, another NC leader claimed that many senior party leaders lost the elections due to internal sabotage while calling for a thorough investigation.
The upcoming CWC and Mahasamiti meetings will discuss a range of issues including the left alliance's impact on the polls, possible role of party leaders and cadres in sobotaging fellow party leaders, party restructure and a way forward for the party, said the NC leader.
The CWC meeting will take place in Kathmandu, while the Mahasamiti meeting is likely to take place either in Pokhara or Butwal, the leader added. "We could not hold the CWC meeting as many central members had been away from Kathmandu," said NC Chief Secretary Krishna Poudel. "We will convene the meeting as soon as all of them will be present in Kathmandu. The meeting will be called within this week."
Poudel confirmed that the party headquarters has received several complaints about cases of alleged sabotage from various districts.

Note this is a multi-part review of Arthur, with the focus in this post on the validation of marine wind gust forecasts.
Earlier this summer Jonathan posted an analysis of Hurricane Arthur's Wind Gust Factors for land locations in an effort to evaluate the performance of CSTAR related research to operations activities. This post addresses wind gust factors for marine locations using data from nine buoys off the Southeast, Mid-Atlanitic, and Southern New England coasts (see map below).
Data for this analysis were obtained from the National Data Buoy Center and follow the methodology outlined in a previous post titled "A Wind Gust Factor Database of Marine Observations from 10 Tropical Cyclones." As a reminder, only observations in which wave data were available with the wave heights less than 5 meters were included. This was done to remove any uncertainty in the quality of the wind observations in large waves. High sea states associated with high surface winds can shelter the buoy and reduce the buoy's wind sampling (Skey et al. 1995). Also worth noting is that large waves may change the vertical wind profile in the boundary layer. In addition, in strong winds, tethered buoys may be shifted out of the vertical and tilted downwind likely making the wind data unrepresentative.
A total of 331 gust factors were computed for Hurricane Arthur The average gust factor was 1.23 with a median of 1.22. The standard deviation was just 0.06 around the mean of 1.23. The wind speeds ranged from 10 to 44 knots and the wind gusts ranged from 11 to 58 knots.
A key point from this analysis is that the average marine gust factor of 1.23 closely matches the database of 10 tropical cyclones which also found a marine wind gust factor of 1.23 across the study area. Marine gust factors from Hurricane Irene were 1.24, also very similar to the values observed with Hurricane Arthur, which is interesting given the larger wind field with Irene versus the small wind field of Arthur. Future analysis comparing large vs. small wind fields may yield different results and should be explored. However, at this time these results give credence to the default gust factor value of 1.25 in the CSTAR Wind Gust smart tool for marine locations. Hurricane Arthur also demonstrated a notable CSTAR research to operation success of the new CSTAR motivated wind gust forecast methodology.

- This article is about the modern martial art Soo Bahk Do. For the ancient martial art, see Subak.
Soo Bahk Do is the name of a martial art founded by Hwang Kee of the Moo Duk Kwan based on the ancient martial art Subak. The martial art originally founded by Kee was Tang Soo Do. After he read the Muye Dobo Tongji he renamed the art Soo Bahk Do, having incorporated what he interpreted from the Muye Dobo Tongji. Soo Bahk Do, then, can be viewed as an offshoot of Tang Soo Do.

The Big Heart Disease Lie
Coronary artery disease (CAD), which results from atherosclerosis of the vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle, is a leading cause of death in industrialized countries (see Fig. 9-8). An early sign of CAD is the type of chest pain known as angina pectoris. This is a feeling of constriction around the heart or pain that may radiate to the left arm or shoulder, usually brought on by exertion. Often there is anxiety, diaphoresis (profuse sweating), and dyspnea (difficulty in breathing).
CAD is treated by control of exercise and administration of nitroglycerin to dilate coronary vessels. Other drugs may be used to regulate the heartbeat, strengthen the force of heart contraction, or prevent formation of blood clots. Patients with severe cases of CAD may be candidates for angioplasty, surgical dilatation of the blocked vessel by means of a catheter, technically called percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) (Fig. 9-10). If further intervention is required, the blocked vessel may be surgically bypassed with a vascular graft (Fig. 9-11). In this procedure, known as a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), another vessel or a piece of another vessel, usually the saphenous vein of the leg or the left internal mammary artery, is used to carry blood from the aorta to a point past the obstruction in a coronary vessel.
CAD is diagnosed by electrocardiography (ECG), study of the electrical impulses given off by the heart as it functions, stress tests, coronary angiography (imaging), echocardiography, and other tests.

Degenerative changes in the arteries predispose a person to thrombosis and sudden occlusion (obstruction) of a coronary artery. The resultant area of myocardial necrosis is termed an infarct (Fig. 9-12), and the process is known as myocardial infarction (MI), the "heart attack" that may cause sudden death. Symptoms of MI include pain over the heart (precordial pain) or upper part of the abdomen (epigastric pain) that may extend to the jaw or arms, pallor (paleness), diaphoresis, nausea, and dyspnea. There may be a burning sensation similar to indigestion or heartburn.
FIGURE 9-12. Myocardial infarction.
FIGURE 9-12. Myocardial infarction.
MI is diagnosed by electrocardiography, by measurement of certain enzymes (CK, LDH, AST) released into the blood from the damaged heart muscle and by a variety of other methods described later in this chapter.
Patient outcome is based on the degree of damage and early treatment to dissolve the clot and re-establish normal heart rhythm.
Arrhythmia is any irregularity of heart rhythm, such as a higher- or lower-than-average heart rate, extra beats, or an alteration in the pattern of the beat. Bradycardia is a slower-than-average rate, and tachycardia is a higher-than-average rate. In cases of MI, there is often fibrillation, an extremely rapid, ineffective beating of the heart. MI may also result in heart block, an interruption in the electrical conduction system of the heart (Fig. 9-13). Cardioversion is the general term for restoration of a normal heart rhythm, either by drugs or application of electric current. Several devices are in use for electrical defibrillation. If, for any reason, the SA node is not generating a normal heartbeat, an artificial pacemaker (Fig. 9-14) may be implanted in the chest to regulate the beat.
The general term heart failure refers to any condition in which the heart fails to empty effectively. The resulting increased pressure in the venous system leads to edema, often in the lungs (pulmonary edema), and justifies the description congestive heart failure (CHF). Other symptoms of congestive heart failure are cyanosis, dyspnea, and syncope. Heart failure is one cause of shock, a severe disturbance in the circulatory system resulting in inadequate delivery of blood to the tissues. Heart failure is treated with rest, drugs to strengthen heart contractions, diuretics to eliminate fluid, and restriction of salt in the diet.
A congenital defect is any defect that is present at birth. The most common type of congenital heart defect is a hole in the septum (wall) that separates the atria or the ventricles. The result of a septal defect is that blood is shunted from the left to the right side of the heart and goes back to the lungs instead of out to the body. The heart has to work harder to meet the body's need for oxygen. Symptoms of septal defect include cyanosis (leading to the description "blue baby"), syncope, and clubbing of the fingers. Most such congenital defects can be corrected surgically.
Another type of congenital defect is malformation of a heart valve. Failure of a valve to open or close properly is evidenced by a murmur, an abnormal sound heard as the heart cycles.
Still other congenital defects result from failure of fetal modifications to convert to their adult form at birth. In patent ductus arteriosus (Fig. 9-15), a vessel present in the fetus to bypass the lungs fails to close at birth. Blood can then flow from the aorta to the pulmonary artery and return to the lungs.
In rheumatic heart disease, infection with a specific type of streptococcus sets up an immune reaction that ultimately damages the heart valves. The infection usually begins as a "strep throat," and most often it is the mitral valve that is involved. Scar tissue fuses the leaflets of the valve, causing a narrowing or stenosis that interferes with proper function. People with rheumatic heart disease are subject to repeated infections of the valves and must take antibiotics prophylactically (preventively) before any type of surgery and before even minor invasive

procedures such as dental cleaning. Severe cases of rheumatic heart disease may require surgical correction or even valve replacement. The incidence of rheumatic heart disease has declined with the use of antibiotics.

Our research group studies from several years the role played by the growth factor Neuregulin1 (NRG1) in the peripheral nerve regeneration (in close collaboration with the Human Anatomy Group) and in the migration of neuronal progenitors (in close collaboration with Neuroscience Institute Cavalieri Ottolenghi).
Different isoforms of NRG1 were described which derive by alternative splicing of exons, giving rise to soluble and transmembrane proteins which can signal in a paracrine or a juxtacrine manner activating tyrosine-kinase receptors belonging to the ErbB family.
Transmembrane NRG1 isoforms are expressed by axons of the peripheral nerves and play an important role in the myelination during the development and in the remyelination following an injury. Soluble NRG1 isoforms are released by Schwann cells and play an important role in their de-differentiation, proliferation and survival after nerve injury.
During the last years we focused our attention on the different isoforms of this ligand, discriminating, by quantitative real time PCR, not only between soluble and transmembrane, but also among type α and type β, type a, b or c isoforms, which confer to the cells different signaling properties.
We demonstrated that different soluble NRG1 isoforms are highly over-expressed in the distal portion of the nerve immediately after nerve crush or after nerve transection followed by immediate repair.
Nevertheless, when the injury is more severe and the nerve gap is repaired by tubulization to bridge the proximal and the distal nerve stumps, NRG1 up-regulation is two-week delayed.
Moreover, when for clinical reasons nerve repair is delayed,thedistal portion of thenerve undergo chronic degeneration, NRG1 expression is irreversibly decreased and after nerve repair its expression level is not restored.
Because NRG1 decrease or deficiency might negatively affect nerve regeneration, we are developing new strategies to supply soluble NRG1 to the hollow tube used for immediate or delayed nerve repair. In collaboration with bioengineers, we are developing hydrogels and biocompatible fibers enriched with recombinant growth factors to be used as internal fillers of chitosan tubes.
Moreover, we demonstrated that skeletal muscle fibers release soluble NRG1 isoforms and we are successfully using this autologous material as a filler of hollow tubes to supply soluble NRG1 and compensate for NRG1 deficiency after immediate or delayed repair.
To investigate the role of NRG1 in Schwann cell response to nerve injury, in collaboration with the Molecular Biotechnology Center, we performed a RNA deep sequencing analysis, showing that soluble NRG1 regulates genes involved in Schwann cell de-differentiation from a myelination to a repair phenotype, thus suggesting that therapies with recombinant NRG1 should be restricted to the early phases after nerve injury, to promote Schwann cell de-differentiation and to not inhibit the remyelination process.
Furthermore, in an animal model of chronic demyelinating neuropathy, we found a chronic over-expression of soluble NRG1. If NRG1 over-expression will be confirmed also in human neuropathic nerves, a therapeutic approach aimed to inhibit the signal transduction pathways driven by NRG1 might be developed.
In parallel, we focused our attention also on the role played by NRG1 in controlling neuronal migration in the brain. We found that interneurons migrating from the subventricular zone to the olfactory bulb or from the median ganglionic eminence to the cortex, express different isoforms of the NRG1 receptor ErbB4 and we demonstrated in vitro that neuronal progenitors expressing different ErbB4 isoforms migrate following stimulation with both NRG1α or NRG1β.

One of my main campaign promises is the fact that I will repair the roads of Duluth. These potholes, which are seemingly omnipresent across our dilapidated roads, are dangerous to the residents of Duluth. Furthermore, they also serve as one of the first things travelers who are coming to and through Duluth are exposed to. Everyone can agree that we are all tired of having to dodge the landmines that potholes make on major arteries through Duluth. I am sure that I am not the only one that has had to change a tire, or fix an axle after hitting a hole the size of a small meteor crater. We are all tired of promises made by leaders that say they will do one thing and do another. I am not that leader. When I say I will fix the roads, I will fix the roads.
The roads are dangerous and it is irresponsible to leave them in the state that they are in. The infrastructure of our great city has been in decline for years and does not seem to be getting better. Perhaps we forget that fixing roads needs workers, workers means jobs, and jobs mean a better economy for us all.
The current leadership of Duluth has focused to heavily on pet projects. Forgetting what it means to be leaders, we are here for the people. We work for the people of our great city, we do not work for ourselves, and I believe the current leadership has forgotten that for a while now. It is now time for new leadership; time for a new leader that will keep the promises they make.
