Can someone please explain this to me? I don't understand why starting the other drug would not count as exclusion criteria?
Not sure I am understanding this question - the patient got an NSAID for RA and this decreased her prostaglandins so she developed GERD... Doc added Misoprostol to counteract the decreased Prostaglandins I the gut and an adverse reaction of Misoprostol is diarrhea .. Correct?

She has many cardiovascular risk factors and likely suffered a stroke of the basilar artery causing locked in syndrome. According to FA this can cause a lesion at the pons, medullar, or lower midbrain -- however anatomically the basilar artery runs right on top of the pons so proximity most likely makes it the right answer.
The most important hints to the question are as follows, with #2 being the most specific:
1) patient reports pain with overhead motion and reports recurrent overhead motion during work. Overhead motion can damage the supraspinatus muscle due to impingement by the acromion.
2) Pain is worst with internal rotation of the shoulder - this is consistent with the findings of the empty-can test, which indicates a supraspinatus injury.
The best I can understand, they're describing endometrial hyperplasia, a result of excess estrogen, a steroid hormone that translocates to the nucleus and binds its transcription factor.
What are we supposed to be looking at? I see multinucleated giant cells. I also see infiltrate (can't tell if this is mononuclear or not).
The patient has ATN secondary to renal ischemia. Due to tubular necorsis, the patient will have an elevated FeNa. The patient's urine will also be dilute, but this will be reflected by the low urine osmolality, not the FeNa
Patient has a fracture to the inferior orbit. This can dmg V2 or entrap the IR muscle. Only IR entrapment would impair vision.
Envelopes benefit the virus in that the virus will look like the host, facilitating fusion. However, an enveloped virus is generally less stable than a naked icosahedral virus (naked viruses are generally icosahedral).
i'm still convinced this is irritable bowel syndrome. Change my mind.
Can someone please further explain this question? What biostatistical analysis should I be thinking about?
A very similar question I have seen in Qbanks will ask why a patient with right heart failure does not develop edema and the answer is increased lymphatic drainage. I got this question wrong originally because I answered along this line of reasoning but I think in this case it all has to do with WHERE the extra pressure is coming from. In this question the pt has diastolic hypertension so you can think about the pressure as coming "forward" so constricting precapillary sphincters can prevent an increase in pressure in the capillary bed. However for right heart failure this extra fluid is coming from the OPPOSITE direction (backwards from the right heart) and constricting precapillary sphincters can do nothing (on opposite side of capillary bed) - the only way to prevent edema is to increase lymphatic drainage.
This is a type II Renal Tubular Acidosis. My Medical School Never taught this to me. Did you also go to poverty med school? I'm surprised they even gave us toilet paper.
Femfibrozil is a fibrate, used for lowering TG levels.
Hey can someone please explain this! I am not sure how to do the math, I keep getting tripped up.
Hey can someone explain the renal findings? Physio is definitely not my strong suit.
Is it because he has fluid/Na+ retention that his specific gravity and Na+ are so low? Is there a reason for those specific BUN/creatinine over the others?
Coloboma is an eye abnormality that occurs before birth. They're missing pieces of tissue in structures that form the eye.
Colobomas affecting the iris, which result in a "keyhole" appearance of the pupil, generally do not lead to vision loss.
Colobomas involving the retina result in vision loss in specific parts of the visual field.
Large retinal colobomas or those affecting the optic nerve can cause low vision, which means vision loss that cannot be completely corrected with glasses or contact lenses.
Hi guys can someone please elaborate on these findings. I understand she has lung cancer that's impeding her trachea. But how is this representative of an obstructive disorder? Aren't lung cancers restrictive if anything? Thanks
Kidney makes 1-25, hydroxy vitamin D. (calcitriol) 25-hydroxy vit D (calcidiol) is made in the liver, and hypoparathyroidism would not decrease its levels as it acts to increase 1-alpha hydroxylase in the kidney to increase calcitriol concentrations --> Ca/phosphate reabsorption from the bone and small intestine.
This is acute hemolytic transfusion reaction, a type II hypersensitivity where pre-formed IgM antibodies bind to incompatible ABO antigens on donor RBCs, which causes intravascular hemolysis. Rh incompatibility, like colonelred_ said, comes more into play with Rh-compatibility of pregnancy and it is due to IgG antibodies, which more often cause extravascular hemolysis since splenic macrophages have those Fc-gamma-R receptors to bind whatever IgG has caught. Extravascular doesn't cause that hypotension, fever, flank pain associated with hemoglobinuria since the macrophages hold on to the degraded RBCs and convert it to biliverdin, which can safely be excreted by the liver.
Requires knowing how to calculate an anion gap - look it up. In this case, it is a normal anion gap metabolic acidosis. Know the mneumonics MUDPILES and HARDASS. Renal Tubular acidosis is the only answer choice that is an example of a normal anion metabolic acidosis.
Since this patient is a non-smoker, it is less to be small cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or large cell carcinoma of the lung. Besides small cell carcinoma being from neuroendocrine origin, the one major lung cancer described by nests of well-differentiated, "regular" cells is a carcinoid tumor. Additionally, rosettes are histological features of carcinoid tumors (fun fact: rosettes also in neuroblastomas/ependymomas (in CNS), retinoblastomas, granulosa cell tumors (ovarian cancer))
I think the reason you need to inject gonadotropins in this case is because you need FSH and LH to produce sperm. FSH stimulates the sertoli cells, which line the seminiferous tubules and help the spermatogonia produce spermatocytes. Testosterone is a product of Leydig cells when they're stimulated by LH, so injecting testosterone would bypass that step but it wouldn't really help with spermatogenesis. However, injecting GnRH also doesn't doesn't really help because you need that pulsatile GnRH at night to make LH and FSH whereas long-acting GnRH analogs actually decrease LH and FSH production.
Can anybody explain this one? I put repeated tests because I assumed an 83-year-old woman is an unusual demographic for syphilis.
Does anyone have any idea on this question? Thought it was ALS.

I spy Fairfield events on the horizon
Tickets for shows at Croydon's Fairfield Halls have started to appear on events site The List.
Details are sparse but Jimmy Carr is one of a few comics scheduled to appear from October 2019.
The listing seems a fairly inauspicious announcement for gigs at what we are told will be a major new entertainment venue for South London. Nothing at all is mentioned on Fairfield's own website.
Truth be told, the Fairfield Halls website lacks very little information whatsoever and certainly nothing about opening dates or who we can expect to appear. Surely this is where news of forthcoming shows and tickets should be appearing and not third party ticketing sites?
Update December 22
InsideCroydon has run a piece today on the Fairfield story, spotting tickets on other sites including that of BHLive, the company charged with running the new venue when it eventually reopens.
It's noteworthy as BHLive had previously said a special announcement would be coming in the new year, along with a relaunch of the Fairfield website. The fact that tickets are already being promoted elsewhere isn't particularly inspiring. Does this signify yet more delays with the Fairfield website as well as with the venue itself?

AMHERST, MA – The Amherst College volleyball team hosted opening-round play of the Hall of Fame Invitational Tournament on Friday night and responded with a 3-1 win over Brandeis University and a 3-0 non-league victory over NESCAC rival Colby College. Junior outside hitter Jess Allen (Chagrin Falls, OH) paced the Jeffs – who improved to 18-3 overall – with a combined 28 kills and 40 digs in the two matches.
Amherst downed Brandeis 30-21, 30-23, 26-30, 30-22 in the opener, led by Allen's match-highs of 17 kills and 24 digs. Senior co-captain Erin Dittus (Brentwood, TN) added 15 kills, while sophomore setter Annie Hoeksma (Los Angeles, CA) chipped in with 51 assists.
The nightcap brought similar results as the Jeffs swept Colby 30-22, 30-22, 30-27. Allen and Dittus once again led the way with 11 kills each. First-year middle blocker Sara Bruggeman (Boulder, CO) posted seven kills on defense.
In addition to opening Family Weekend at Amherst, Friday evening was also senior night for the volleyball team, with Paula Yanes (Tampa, FL), Irene Lee (Fullerton, CA), co-captain Missy Mordy (Issaquah, WA) and Dittus playing the final regular season home matches of their respective careers.
The class of 2003 has helped lead the Jeffs to a 95-22 overall record in four seasons, including three straight postseason appearances, two consecutive NCAA Tournament berths and back-to-back NESCAC Championships in 1999 and 2000.
Tournament play will resume Saturday morning at nearby Smith College.

text: Malaga – Travel Guide Málaga is the second largest city in Andalusia and is one of the most visited areas of Spain during the holiday season. The city was founded by the Phoenicians in 1000 BC but it was not until it was conquered by the Moors in the 8th century that it became a key trading port. These features of Malaga's past can be seen in the ruins of Malaga's walls, Roman Amphitheatre and ancient churches. Even Pablo Picasso, the famous Malaga-born artist has left his print in the area and his museum has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city. Unlike other areas in the Costa del Sol, such as Torremolinos or Marbella, Malaga has managed to maintain its ancient charm, so make the most of your stay in Malaga and go and visit the outskirts of the city with its little white villages, extensive beaches, natural parks and wonderful monuments. eDreams lets you compare airfares and offers cheap flights to Malaga.

CHIREDZI – Villagers from Chiredzi East and Chiredzi South are appealing to Government to allow them to take their livestock into Gonarezhou Game Reserve for grazing as more cattle die from the ravaging drought.
The prevailing El Nino induced drought has so far killed 200 cattle due to lack of pastures and water.
As a measure to decrease human and wildlife conflict, Government through Zimparks and Veterinary Services Department is erecting a fence from Chipinda area to Gonakudzingwa to stop movement of animals from the park to communities.
Speaking during a tour of the area on Saturday, Member of Parliament for Chiredzi South Retired General Kallisto Gwanetsa said the communities welcomes the electric fence but the issue of drought is forcing them to seek for access to the park under supervision. He said thousands of livestock are facing death while accross the fence there is abundant pastures.
"They welcome the erection of the fence but this should be a temporary measure to save thousands of cattle which are facing death due to the prevailing drought. Their cattle should be allowed into the park under the watchful eye of people from the communities. We know there are diseases associated with wildlife like foot and mouth disease but diseases can be treated, not hunger" said Gwanetsa.
Member of Parliament for Chiredzi East Denford Masiya said it was worrisome to note that there was poor workmanship on the part of those who were contracted to erect the electric fence as most parts are now damaged. He said the issue of capturing cattle which is straying into the park should be stopped since the fence is not intact.
Tiyani Chauke of Chibwedziva said there is reduced presence of stray animals in their community due to the fence which is currently being erected. He said there are vast pastures in the park which were of their grazing lands when Government started erecting the fence.
The fence is being erected with funding from international donors who are assisting Government in reducing human wildlife conflict.

Faith, Devotion And Love Gives You Health And Happiness Too
Women and men are built and made different. Women we believe go through a lot more in life generally when compared to women. They go through monthly menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth and menopause etc which are major challenges faced by the woman. They also play so many roles in life from being a wife, a mother, a daughter, a neighbor, aunt etc all at the same time. Apart from juggling all these roles, they also pursue career goals and earn an income to support their family. A woman's life is full of challenges all the time. Woman is the anchor for the entire family and the entire society too.
With the kind of physical, mental and emotional challenges that women face, one would wonder as to how it is that she manages all her multiple facets of life and gets that energy and health from?. Well the secret lies in the woman's psyche and attitude. In fact when compared to men, women tend to suffer more both in terms of physical health as well as mental health. But then women have an indomitable spirit that enables them to rise above all circumstances.
There is a mother in every woman. As the mother she is ready to do anything and everything for the sake of her children. She raises them and protects them. Her abundant love gives her a larger heart and the tenacity as well as the perseverance to see through life. These in turn strengthen her persona both in terms of her psychological makeup as well as physical energy.
If you see the women who are loving and kind towards children and all, you will also notice that they have an unshaken faith and bond with God. They take time to be in solitude and in communion with the lord and derive strength as well as guidance from their inner conscience during their communion. This kind of faith gives them the strength too. They believe in the protection of their lord and surrender completely. Such feeling of absolute surrender helps kill the ego and allows divine grace to fill the mind and the heart. In other words they live in the light and truth.
It is this faith and devotion that gives them the strength to maintain their mental balance, to discern the truth, to face and overcome the challenges in life as well as rise above the circumstances. The fact that they have surrendered themselves in their faith and do not act with the thought of self means they do not identify with the outcome of any action. They perform the action joyously for their lord and act their role to perfection and leave the rest to the divine destiny.
Anybody who perfects this attitude is unattached to the life's successes and failure. She does not get entangled in desires and disappointments and is save from being tossed on the rough seas. The faith and devotion bring about a calm mind and a pure heart which also promote a healthy body. Thus the mothers give and serve others with love and in turn are blessed with abundance for themselves too.
Lifespan of a female is divided into three periods.
It extends from birth to puberty. During this period, primary and accessory sex organs do not function. These organs remain quiescent. Puberty occurs at the age of 12-15 years.
The second period extends from the onset of puberty to the onset of menopause. The first menstrual cycle is known as menarche. The permanent stoppage of menstrual cycle in old age is called menopause, which occurs at the age of about 45 to 50 years. During the period between menarche and menopause, women menstruate and reproduce.
This period extends after menopause to the rest of the life.

Great Exhibition
by Graham Forsdyke
ISMACS News
Issue No. 33
国厂精品114福利电影WHEN William McWilliams, the proprietor of the London-based Sewing Machine and Cycle News, decided to hold what he called the first exhibition of sewing machines in 1887, he immediately ran into trouble in the editorial columns of the rival Sewing Machine Gazette. In its report of the event, the Gazette pulled no punches in deriding its rival's exhibition.
First, it proved that even its title "first international sewing machine and appliances exhibition" wasn't even that. It pointed out that a previous proprietor of the Gazette, Mr. Messeni, had conceived the idea of an exhibition in 1881 which was held at the Agricultural Hall in Islington. What's more, he repeated the event a year later making, in the Gazette's eyes, it's rival's exhibition not the first but the third.
It then pointed out that the 1881 exhibition had had 12 sewing-machine companies exhibiting their wares, whereas the 1887 show had only seven. Even counting the smaller number of exhibitors, there were at the first exhibition 148 and only 62 at the 1887 event.
国厂精品114福利电影Asking itself why the event had been a failure the Gazette went on in these terms:
国厂精品114福利电影" The sewing-machine exhibition can only appeal to two classes: 1) dealers; 2) the fair sex. The dealers as a trade will not come to see a sewing machine and the public will certainly not pay a shilling to see a collection of them.
"The dealer has travelers calling upon him daily and can see every type of machine in the market without any traveling or hotel expense.
The public need only visit the city and they have within an arm's reach every class of machine which they can inspect under far more favorable circumstances ."
国厂精品114福利电影This third exhibition was held at the Royal Aquarium in London and it can be surmised from the gist of the Gazette's report that the area had a less-than savory reputation.
"Of all places in the world to hold an exhibition of articles intended for ladies, the Aquarium should be the last."
To bolster this argument, the Gazette tells of overhearing a conversation on a stand where a gentleman asked that if he were to buy a sewing machine for his wife, could the bill be made out so that she did not know he had bought it at the Aquarium.
The exhibitors were Biesolt & Locke from Meissen, Germany, who showed some 20 Singer look-a-like machines, and an interesting-sounding Cinderella where the handle was fitted to the front of the machine rather than at the side.
Domestic showed its range of family machines and Howe showed its new F model.
Pfaff国厂精品114福利电影 machines were exhibited in England for the first time, and received an enthusiastic mention from the Gazette's reporter.
The Vertical-Feed Sewing Machine Company was said to have had one of the best positions in the display and White's Peerless attracted the writer's attention "as a good specimen of sewing mechanism". The Automatic Machine Syndicate of Walbrook exhibited its Unicum buttonhole machine.
国厂精品114福利电影The Gazette had nothing but derogatory remarks to make about the cheap end of the market, even discounting the manufacturers from its list of exhibitors.
国厂精品114福利电影"We are forced to the conclusion that cheap machines have no future before them. Certainly they are sold at such low prices as do not allow dealers to sell them on the hire-purchase system.
国厂精品114福利电影"The cheap manufacturers do not appear to know that it costs more to sell a machine than to make one, and that the prices they sell their goods at render a permanent business next to impossible." But the Westminster Aquarium exhibition did give several of these manufacturers an opportunity to show their goods to the public.
Among those noted by the Gazette was the Dorman at 15 shillings, the Tottie, a chain-stitch model which sold at 3s 6d, the Stuart made of Victorian silver at 21 shillings. Hugo Sommerville of Long Lane, London, showed three small machines: the Flora which sold at 10s 6d, the Dorothy at twice as much and the Victoria at 31s 6d.
The article ended: "Several well-known travelers spent the exhibition fortnight in London, thereby giving the dealers a short respite. One of these .... said that his hope of meeting at the Aquarium a large number of visitors from the provinces was not realized. He estimated the number of dealers visiting the exhibition at between 12 and 14".

Prime Minister Hun Sen on Friday called on the US Congress to put its money where its mouth is and cut foreign aid to Cambodia if it deemed elections illegitimate, insinuating that the Kingdom would easily supplant it with funds from China.
Congressional hearings in Washington in June examined the possibility of cutting off financial support to Cambodia should elections fail to be free and fair, but Hun Sen maintained that he was unfazed by such ultimatums.
Analysts, however, cautioned that turning away from the US in favour of China would not be without consequences.
"This is the word from a few US congressmen and the US Senate, which is not representative of the voice of US citizens and Obama's government," Hun Sen said on Friday, before telling Congress "don't talk so much – cut it off".
The premier went on to say that the government was uninterested in the aid – which he pegged at $50 million a year – and said that the real victims would be NGOs and beneficiaries of US-funded anti-HIV/AIDS and anti-tuberculosis programs.
Hun Sen also scoffed at US military aid, which he said amounted to some $1 million per year, and recalled an incident in which the US held off on a promised shipment of 100 military vehicles over human rights concerns about a group of Uighur asylum seekers, "but when China saw it, China gave 257 vehicles instead of the US".
According to US State Department figures, total US aid to Cambodia hovers closer to $70 million, and Carlyle Thayer, a Cambodia expert and professor emeritus at the University of New South Wales, placed US military aid at closer to $6 million.
Broad cuts, he noted in an email, would "impact on the most vulnerable and marginalised members of Cambodian society", but that "aid could still be channelled to NGOs".
"Hun Sen's dare to the US Congress reflects his personal belief that he is in command of Cambodia and can maintain independence from foreign pressures," Thayer said, noting that the tough talk could have political consequences. "Hun Sen's rejection of US aid will further polarise Cambodian society."
Political analyst Lao Mong Hay expressed similar views.
"That kind of posture has contributed to the public's dissatisfaction with his rule already, as seen through the elections," he said, noting a historical parallel in Hun Sen's lambasting of UNTAC after losing UN-run elections in 1993.
Since the 1980s, he continued, "Cambodians have swung towards the West, and especially America", and despite "massive aid and investment [from] the Chinese, I think many Cambodians cannot yet wipe out from their memory Chinese assistance to the Khmer Rouge".
The situation, he added, was reminiscent of Aesop's fable of the fox who, after finding himself unable to reach a bunch of grapes, remarks that they must have been sour anyway.
"I think that might be a bit like our leader," he said.

Photos from a visit to the souks on a hazy day.
The Gold Souk
Relaxing before the shops open
I love these beautiful bright colors.
Around the Spice Souk
For such a modern city, the shipping/cargo area of the creek is unequivocally old world. In my opinion, this is the most fascinating part of Dubai and the one place I don't mind sitting in traffic or idling at Dubai's ridiculously long red lights. This area is a narrow strip of concrete lined by the water and boats on one side and a continuous flow of traffic on a major thoroughfare on the other. Refrigerators, air conditioners, bicycles, tires, diapers, soft drinks, powdered milk, mattresses, steam irons , chairs, tables, scooters and countless boxes storing who knows what are just resting there, covered by plastic tarps, waiting to be transported. It seems so easy to just go and pick up a refrigerator to take home, but I guess there is some sort of system for preventing theft.
Is there any rhyme or reason to this crazy assortment of goods?
These guys are everywhere.
The smaller boats are called abras – used for ferrying people across the creek. The larger boats on which the cargo is loaded are called dhows.
Several times, I thought I would be taking a picture of a boat when a previously busy worker would stop to smile or wave. Sometimes they would appear out of nowhere!
here's another one
Sorry for all the pictures of boats, but here are a few more. By the way, have you noticed how they love to fly the UAE flag? Just like in Texas!
According to this article in the Gulf News, the items shipped from here are usually going to other small ports in Iran, Somalia and India and are used for retail purposes. The big container ships that normally come to mind when I think of transporting goods internationally leave out of Jebel Ali or Port Rashid.
This map shows how Dubai Creek leads straight into the Persian Gulf (or the Arabian Gulf – depending on which map you look at.) You can see how the souks line both sides of the creek.
I took an abra to cross the creek. These are my fellow passengers and the driver.
Taken from my abra ride.
Textile Souk
This street is lined by buildings with wind towers. These are a common architectural feature here in the UAE and are designed to catch cool air and channel it to the interior of the building.
I was wondering why people were walking around barefoot in this part of the souks! Then I saw the sign designating this area as the Shiva Temple for Hindus.
Pretty doors

If there's one brand that has been turning heads lately, It has to be Laura Mercier, that has stayed true to their philosophy which is not about looking perfect but feeling flawless. And it's new update the Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Foundation & Concealer is something to be excited about as it claims to give long lasting coverage up 15 hours in one use. So are these two products worth going back to ? Let's find out...
Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Foundation, a 15-hour long wearing, oil-free liquid foundation with a matte finish and weightless medium to full coverage.
You'll LIKE it because it has a buildable medium coverage that doesn't feel heavy on the skin.
You'll HATE it as it's not the greatest coverage for HD makeup.
Of the many foundations out there, I'd say that this one is one of my favorite by far. First of all, don't be put off by the thickness of the formula because when you blend it out, it doesn't feel heavy on the skin at all. This might not be the best for the heavy lighting HD makeup but it makes a great dinner function kind of foundation. You can always sheered it out with a damp sponge for everyday use. The finish wise, it's not as matte as you think it is. It still carries a hint of glowy and extremely natural skin-like finish just the way I love it . As for the longetivity, I did not have it on for 15 hours and believe no one should should be having makeup on for that long but it did last for 8 hours without looking patchy, except for my oily T-zone, which looks rather greasy within 5 hours. Anyways, I do hope they will be come out with a cushion format for this foundation so a touch up on the go would be easy. Also if you are new to Laura Mercier range it's best for you to color match in their store so you don't go home with a bottle of foundation that's going to transform you into one or two shades lighter/darker than your normal skin tone.
Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Concealer, a medium to full coverage, weightless concealer that perfects, hydrates and blurs with 12 hours of crease-resistant wear.
You'll LIKE it for the creamy and lightweight formula.
You'll HATE as it's not the kind of concealer to cover-up blemishes or acne.
Ah, the formula reminds me very much of the NARS Creamy Concealer but much more creamier. So if you find the NARS Creamy Concealer too heavy or thick for your liking, then this Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Concealer is definitely your cup of tea. I personally prefer this for everyday makeup but for a heavy makeup event, go with something else. The coverage is medium-ish which is great for good skin days as it doesn't leave the skin looking glossy, just a soft matte finish. Considering it's so creamy, the longevity is pretty good and I have been using it for my, Just a note that it gets slightly drying on the undereyes towards the end of the day.

Juventus vs Manchester United :6 Things we learnt from a thrilling encounter.
Juventus 1
Cristiano Ronaldo (65)
Man Utd2
J Mata (86),Alex Sandro (89 og)
Manchester United came from behind to scored to late goals to get a memorable 2-1 comeback victory over Juventus in the Champions League group stage.
Former United man Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first Champions League goal for Juventus to put the hosts in front, hitting a superbly-timed volley past David de Gea (65) from inside the box following Leonardo Bonucci's ball.
But Juan Mata equalised for United with four minutes remaining with a fine dipping free-kick from 20 yards, before former Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba helped bundle the ball over the line via Alex Sandro for an own goal in the 90th minute.
Things we learnt from the match ????
Again, the fourth time this season Manchester United have came from behind to get points this season.
They came from behind against Newcastle, Chelsea, Bournemouth and yet again Juventus. This can be a big boost for them ahead of the Manchester Derby this weekend.
Juan Mata dropped to the bench after starting United's last match against Bournemouth, but he showed Jose Mourinho why he should be starting with an important late equaliser. Another late goal then won United the game, to leave Champions League Group H in the balance.
With Pogba making his first return to Turin following his £89.1million switch in the summer of 2016 all the headline were likely to be about the Frenchman. Yet it was the typically understated Bosnian playmaker who was pulling the strings in the midfield for the hosts.
In a star-studded team like Juventus, Miralem Pjanić is never going to be the picture of this Juventus side. He has been one of their most important players since joining the Old Lady.
He completed 70 of 76 attempted passes, no United player managed more than Matić's 52 and 16 of those were in the attacking third, the most of any player on the field. On top of that he created five chances for the Old Lady and won four of the five tackles he attempted.
Under pressure following a series of dismal performances, Manchester United Jose Mourinho pulled off a hugely important 2-1 away victory at Juventus reminiscent of his past as the "Special One" that gives United a huge Booster ahead of the Manchester derby at the weekend.
The Portuguese was in his winning element winning at the home of his former Serie A rivals, charging onto the pitch to mock the home fans in Turin by cupping his ear as United players and supporters celebrated a win gained by Mourinho's decisions from the bench.
He brought on Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini with 11 minutes remaining on the clock and United deservedly behind to a Cristiano Ronaldo wonder goal, and both were instrumental in the turnaround, Mata whipping home the equaliser and Fellaini flicking on a cross that eventually lead into the second goal.
However despite their impressive winning record, Juventus have shown weakness this season. They almost let United back into it at Old Trafford after switching off and this time they were punished for missing gilt-edge chances by a cynical away side.
Juve are still odds on to qualify for the knockout stages but if Massimiliano Allegri is to bring the club their third European Cup he will have to make sure they can keep up their impressive displays and stop being wasteful.
The Frenchman has been in sensational form, scoring five goals in his last five games, and he came into Juventus Stadium looking to carry on that streak in the toughest environment imaginable. As it turns out, he couldn't get a goal, but he did everything but.
His moves earned United the free-kick they equalised from. Pure silk.

It was a cold day in Vicenza, the historic town in north-eastern Italy, and the grandchildren, who were aged between eight and 12, wanted hot chocolate.
Mrs Rosetta, her first name has not been published, found some chocolate sachets in the back of the cupboard and made enough for her herself, her husband, her son and her grandchildren, Il Mattino reported.
The chocolate powder sachets were bought in the 1980s and were not to be used after June 5, 1990 — the year Paul Keaing announced Australia was in recession, the year Carmen Lawrence became Australia's first female premier, the year of the outbreak of the first Gulf War and the year Nelson Mandela was released after 28 years in prison.
At first everyone enjoyed the warm chocolate going down their throats, but an hour later Mrs Rosetta's husband vomited and complained of an upset stomach. He suffered diarrhoea.
Then the rest of the family complained of feeling very ill and all began vomiting and having diarrhoea.
Everyone was taken to hospital and one of the grandchildren had to be kept for treatment for 20 days, Corriere Del Veneto reported.
Despite the incident being an accident, prosecutors are reportedly considering pressing charges against Mrs Rosetta for the poisonings.

Before we start, make sure you don't prefer the recommended method of streaming S3 data - which is to setup a Lambda that will trigger when new S3 objects are created and stream them to Sophie.
To have Loom connect to your AWS S3 bucket and read the data directly from it, please first make sure that the objects (files) within every "folder" are alphabetically-ordered in alignment with the time of writing, i.e. the alphabetical sorting matches the time-ordering of the events within the objects.
Here's an example of a good "folder" structure:
|-- host1
| |-- 2019-03-18T08:31:11Z.txt.gz
| |-- 2019-03-17T11:21:19Z.txt.gz
| +-- ...
+-- host2
|-- 2019-03-17T05:30:19Z.txt.gz
+-- ...
Here's an example of a bad one:
|-- host1-2019-03-18T08:31:11Z.txt.gz
|-- host2-2019-03-17T05:30:19Z.txt.gz
|-- host1-2019-02-10T11:21:19Z.txt.gz
+-- ...
First step - granting permissions
Go to AWS console, then to S3. Open the properties of the target bucket.
Under permissions, add firstname.lastname@example.com as Grantee and give it read permissions.
If this doesn't work, replace firstname.lastname@example.com with the following and try
again: 09bf21d91fa6deeeb28e81c2d5755494adf8e0650f623ce8f63b865c7721c489
If you prefer to create a policy for an AWS Account ID, use the following:
Second step - configuring the data-input in Loom
Open Loom in your browser and go to the data-sources screen.
Click "add a new data source":
Choose S3 and fill out the form. Leave the optional keys fields empty - this will tell Loom to use its own account keys:
Click "Test & Save" - and you're done!

There was a very casual feel to the conversation between John Birmingham and Chad Taylor at the Festival Club during the Sydney Writer's Festival. The audience was rewarded with an informal chat between two blokes in armchairs, quaffing Glenffidich whiskey and talking about fireworks, literature and, inevitably, drugs.
Birmingham is probably best known for He Died with a Felafel in his Hand, a gonzo memoir of share house living in Australia. A successful freelance journalist, Birmingham has just completed Dopeland, an investigation of marijuana culture in Australia.
A follower of the New Journalism school that has the writer become part of the narrative, Birmingham "pulled cones with the people you'd expect, students and feral Nimbin types," as well as with a brace of lawyers, police, teachers and the deputy mayor of "a relatively important city".
And no, he isn't saying who.
Taylor is a New Zealand author whose latest book, Electric, revolves around a drug-riddled triangle of a data entry worker and two mathematicians, set during Auckland's Summer of Blackouts in 1998.
"The blackout was great - very organic. We're working towards another one," Taylor said. "It was a natural setting for a novel, very surreal, very metaphorical. Dangerous and strange."
While the common link between the two seems obvious - Birmingham suggested that it was because they were both stereotyped as drug writers - they also share opinions on the state of literature in the region.
"Big L" literature, as they describe it, no longer connects to the real world. It's left to "small L" literature writers, the journalists, crime writers and drug scribes, to get their fingers dirty and get the meaty stories out there."
"I really love literature, you need it like you need vegetables," said Taylor. "But it's become this timid thing".
Birmingham is slightly more diplomatic.
"That's really harsh," he said. "I agree with you, but it's a dangerous thing to say around here."
But with the bottle of whiskey rapidly running low - shared between the writers and a couple of punters in the front row - and the night growing old, honesty is somehow appropriate. And the crowd didn't mind at all.

Samajwadi Party leaves only six seats for Congress in UP
Declaring 10 more poll candidates in UP, the Samajwadi Party took the number of its nominees to 74. The party left just six seats for the Congress including Rae Bareli and Amethi.india Updated: Mar 08, 2009 18:37 IST
The Samajwadi Party on Sunday declared 10 more candidates for the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh taking the number of its nominees to 74, but left six constituencies for the Congress despite the stalemate in seat sharing talks.
Of the 80 Lok Sabha constituencies in the state, the Samajwadi Party left Rae Bareli, Amethi, Ghaziabad, Dharora, Mathura and Kanpur City for the Congress.
Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav said his party would not field candidates in these parliamentary constituencies even if there is no alliance with the Congress.
The Samajwadi Party earlier announced candidates for 64 constituencies.
The Congress and the Samajwadi Party are finding it difficult to reach a consensus on seat sharing arrangement in the most populous state of India.
Earlier on Sunday, Mulayam Singh said: "We want to contest the elections with them (Congress). Until now our alliance with them has not been finalised, but there are no disputes as well."
"But I want to tell you that there will be no bitterness with the Congress in the future," he said.

Yes it is, and a fairly serious one too. See item #4 among the four Big No-Nos in the Community Standards, which are part of the TOS. If you have proof that someone has shared chat logs without your permission, you may submit an Abuse Report. Include the evidence and point to the specific rule that you believe has been violated.
As a protective measure, talk to your partner now, before your partner hears from this person. There's nothing that deflates an emotional extortionist faster than telling a juicy story and having the other person say, "Oh, yeah. I knew that. Big deal."

Sort of an Update...
I don't really feel like it at the moment.
My manager just told me I might want to start looking for another job, because the chances that I'm keeping this one are slim.
So there's that.

Do you have proof that you were supposed to give special customers special treatment? A memo? Witnesses that heard bosses telling you to do something outside the rules? Because if so, you get to sue them when they fire you. The rules are X but your boss told you to do B. Labor lawyers live for such slam dunk cases. Even if you don't want to work for these monkeys, you at least have to report them. The person who should be fired is the person who told you... as the lowly employee... to ignore the rules. You might want to share this info with your boss. If she wants to fire you, she is going with you.

You always get you NaNoWriMo published. A novel, by the way, which we haven't even seen yet (hint, hint). Seriously though, I'm keeping such appendages as are capable of it, crossed for you. Even if they do fire you, this could be a turning point. We can just hope.

Swim lessons were a success!!! Tucker will be attending a 30-45 min session once a week for the next 6 weeks with the option to extend. He was not afraid and did very well with the young man who was his buddy. Our goals, for now, are to learn how to float on our back for emergency situations in water and water safety.
I am sorry there are no pictures as I was not sure we could be in the pool area while he was in lessons, as we would distract him. But we could and he wasn't so I will take some next week.
