We are individual actual humans who want all of us to be free from the constraints of patriarchy, including you who identify as transgender.
We support the right of humans to marry any other consenting adult they wish. I doubt you could find a DGR member who thinks it important that "sex" even be a box on a marriage contract.
We do not support violence against humans who identify as transgender, even though some of you do it to us.
We fully support freedom of gender and sexual expression, as long as it does not encompass pedophilia or non-consensual sexual behavior.
We deplore the abuses of pornography and prostitution, but also abhor punishing humans, mostly women, who are used thusly.
Our work is to encourage respect for all life, and such must start at home, with our own species.
Biological sex just is what it is, and can't be imagined away. But gender roles are damaging constructs that are hardest on women. When XY people want to be considered XX people, they ignore how hard it is on XX people who are born, bred and socialized as women, to be expected to give you top billing, because of your oppression.
We know non-conforming XY humans have a hard time of it. Because Gender is really strict. You have a penis and want to wear pink? The gender police will go after your ass.
You are XX and have zero interest in performing femininity, like me?
The gender police will go after your ass too.
We're all being victimized by this crap.
But we're also all colonized by it, including XY humans who talk themselves into female spaces and behave like gender-colonized men; sexually acting out, scaring women and girls. And yes, even raping them, when XY people with intact genitalia are housed with XX people in prisons.
This happens. We're not just making it up.
Radical feminists and allies are not out to get people who have gender identity issues. Our hopes are that you can work your way past the horrible things this culture has done to you, and understand that our goal is to free everyone from the horrible laws of gender.
But meanwhile, we work to protect women and girls, who have been sadly abused for centuries. We can't put men first, even when you have been sadly abused yourselves. We especially cannot do this if you insist on invading women's spaces.
We have so little, and men have so much. We're not just here for you to lean on. We have our own goals that often have nothing to do with supporting human males. Sometimes we even want to work to save our world from imploding into self-destruction.
Is it so much to ask of women that you let us do this?
The essay in question:
One of Xavier's comments. It's worth reading them all, he did such an excellent job of debating here.
Read them all. All the DGR radical feminist advocates, both male and female, handled this with integrity.

This weekend I got the chance to experience using a new projector. That too of a Brand that is something of which I never heard before. It is no other but AODIN M18 projector. The product is available to buy on many e-commerce sites at a discounted price of about US $400-$440. I had spent around five to six hours while testing the performance of the device with my friend who is the owner of the machine.
Therefore, this post will be dedicated to my review regarding the same. Before moving ahead, I request you to read this thoroughly. It can help you to get an overall idea about the configurations and performance aspects of the projector. That too from different facets like display, sound, build quality and many more.
An Outlook on the Quality of Display Output of M18
As per the manufacturers, the RGB LED light source that is present insidethe M18 machine can be used for minimum ten years. It has been officially specified as 30000 hours. Well, it depends on the average number of hours that a user is using the projector on a daily basis.
However, if you are busy most of the time and only watch some movies or TV programs on weekends, then I am sure about one thing. It is the fact that the LED lamp of your projector will last even more than two decades!
The AODIN M18 portable hardware supports a projection ratio of 1.2:1. Hence, a machine can be placed within a distance of 1 meter to 8 meters from the output projection object. It will result in producing a big display screen of size ranging from 40 inches to 300 inches in diagonal length. To ensure good light transmittance of M18 two pieces of resin lenses is to be added with four pieces of glass. Hence, together they can make a transparent coating lens for the machine.
The projected display screen of M18 can support to reproduce about 16.7 million Colors. The device supports a contrast ratio of 400:1. As per my experience with the overall display output of the machine I can say the projector can reproduce sharp pictures. That too with bright colors and complete details.
What are the Display Characteristics of M18?
M18 can produce projection automatic calibration screen that supports automatic vertical trapezoidal correction. To understand it simple the device is capable of Automatic keystone correction function but of only ±40 vertical. So after booting the device, the AODIN M18 projector can manage itself to adjust the output display screen accordingly. By the way, the machine is having the feature of automatic correction of images to present a comfortable viewing experience to the user.
M18 as a portable smart projection gadget has Gravity sensing technology. I think it is much helpful while installing the machine on certain setups and grounds. The color gamut that the projector can reproduce is >=120%NTSC.
I have seen pretty stable and bright projected pictures from M18 on a big display screen of size around 50 inches. It might be due to effectiveness in reducing lens color cast of the machine. The projector has the potential to project a multimedia output with clarity. After all, the device can work with an optical resolution of 1280 x 720dpi, or Full HD, i.e., 1080P.
The maximum amount of brightness that M18 can generate is around 300 ANSI ± 100%, or to say 1800 ISO lumens. So, no doubt the projector can reproduce bright pictures on a big output display screen even at daytime with curtains open.
How is AODIN M18 a Rich Portable 3D Projection Machine?
M18 portable machine does support 3D projection technology. Thus, I can say that the projector is future ready. Therefore, it has something extra as a dose of entertainment for the complete family by watching 3D movies at home. There is another impressive part to know about the device concerning the same feature.
A unique 3D button has been provided on the genuine remote controller that has been supplied with the machine. So by a single press of a button a user can enjoy watching 3D content. Hence, no wasting time to go into the settings menu and change the projection method from 2D to 3D.
Also, I would like to add here one more feature regarding the 3D technology available inside the M18. It can be said as one among the benefits that have been offered by the product manufacturers on the part of users. The projector can turn any 2D movie to be converted to produce 3D effects on the output display. All thanks to the DLP active shutter 3D imaging cinema grade technology to make it happen.
What are the Display Specifications of the Projector Hardware?
The AODIN M18 machine works well to support front, rear, and ceiling projection methods. Also, a user needs to adjust the focus of projected output manually. Now about the internal lamp of M18, I would say it is based on a green light source to protect the tender retina of a user, especially children.
A 0.3 DMD+RGBLED display chip has been used by the AODIN engineers inside the M18 hardware. After all, it is a DLP HD graphics engine based projector. The device is compatible with projecting H.265, H.264, and 1080P video source formats either on walls or any other output projection object.
A user can display a large output projected screen with different projection ratios. It can be one among 4:3, 16:9, and 16:10. M18 can withstand to project a picture to produce natural visual experience to a user. After all, the display output of the machine has 90% of brightness uniformity.
What are the Hardware Characteristics of M18 Projection Machine?
First, do let me share with you about the essential specifications of the M18 device. That hardware consists of an RK3368 Octa-core 64-bit Cortex-A53 processor chipset. It is having the frequency of up to 1.5GHz. That too it works with PowerVR G6110 GPU chipset and support OpenGL ES 1.1 / 2.0 / 3.1, OpenCL, and DirectX9.3. The internal Lamp of AODIN M18 can produce an average of 21W output power in Normal mode and 17W in Eco mode, fair enough.
The device supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz Dual Band Wifi 802.11 a/g/b/n/ac network signal. I did not find any signal interference while using the projector with a not so powerful wireless network router. Therefore, the machine can be connected to a network with more stability.
I agree to what the manufacturers are saying about the M18 portable projection machine. It is the feature that the device can support faster network transmissions. It can be possible due to the high wireless speed of a thousand megabytes. I am sure about one thing. It is the fact that the hardware can meetup the wireless data transfer needs of large data or high definition files.
A 2GB of DDR3 RAM and an internal memory of 8GB has been provided inside the M18. Not limited to it, there is a separate card slot with a maximum limit of 32GB to extend the secondary storage of machine. It is enough for an average multimedia user to store a sufficient amount of Apps, and Files inside the projector system.
What are the Convenient Features of AODIN M18 Machine?
One good news for the commuters is the fact that M18 consists of a significant internal Li-ion battery of size 12000mAh. It is having a backup power of 2.5 hours. I am impressed with the time that the battery takes to charge from zero to full. It is around 2 to 3 hours in power off condition and 4 to 8 hours when the device is in use. It is much similar to charging the battery of a Laptop.
At least, the M18 projector can be used in the backside of a house to watch a complete movie at night without the need to arrange any source of power supply or so. A red LED status light has been provided on the top of hardware to indicate that the battery is charging. Also, the indicator will be switched off automatically after a complete charge. It can help a user to plug off the power supply while charging the battery of the system.
The projector can be connected to a smart mobile or a tablet without wires with the help of Airplay and Miracast. Hence, M18 portable multimedia hardware can support screen mirroring function. A user can download and install Eshare that can be beneficial to connect either PC or an iOS gadget.
An AODIN M18 projection machine is also compatible with Bluetooth 4.0/BLE technology. It is much convenient to connect the device with any Bluetooth enabled external speakers. Not limited to this a user can also join a mouse or a gaming controller without wires to the M18.
What is inside the Company Box Packaging?
The outer box packaging of the M18 projector is of pure Black in appearance. A 'Smart Android Projector' is the only text that has been imprinted at the front surface of the Box. The total weight of the company packaging box is around 3.3 pounds. The official box packaging of the M18 projector consists of many accessories. It includes a remote controller, an adapter, a power cord, a user manual, an HDMI cable, and the main projector unit.
The net weight of the M18 machine is about 747 grams and sizes to approximately 172mm x 40mm. A user needs to provide a good power supply of AC 100-240V, at 50/60Hz input to the machine. It can produce an output of 15V-3A.
An IR based remote controller that has been providing with the M18 device is of pure black with a matte finish. The list of buttons on remote includes a red power On/Off button, a grey mute button, and an HDMI button. Also, there is a Switch 3D button, and a button to switch the remote to work as a mouse. Finally, there is a Home, a Menu, a Return, Some directional buttons with an OK button at their center, and a long horizontal volume control button.
By the way, while ordering the AODIN M18 device, you need to take care of choosing a power plug that can match to your country standards. After all, the projector comes with different plug options to select one from among US, UK, and EU plugs.
What are the Multimedia Advantages that a User can get from M18?
M18, portable multimedia machine is compatible with Android V6.0 operating system. Hence, nothing to say about it since most of the world population are already using Android smart gadgets or know the benefits of using the same. Now let me share with you some of the compatible multimedia file formats that M18 device can support to project on a big display screen.
You can play specific video formats on the projector that supports 4K VP9, H265, and H264 video decoding of up to 60fps. M18 is also compatible with projecting movies or videos. A user can run payback file based on 1080P multi-format video decoding (VC-1, MPEG-1/2/4, VP8) and 1080P video encoding. The projector supports Flash 11.1 based files.
An office user can take advantage of projecting PPT, XLS, DOC, and PDF files. They can be accessed either from internal storage or directly from an external removable storage device. Also, the compatible image formats of the AODIN M18 projector are BMP, JPG, and PNG. So the device is an excellent companion both for official and entertainment purposes. The machine can be connected with EMMC flash drive, micro TF card slot, USB 3.0 U disk and hard drive via simple plug and play.
How is the User Interface of M18 Projection System?
The user interface of M18 comes with Google Play Store. Hence, a user can search through and install many compatible Apps and Games on the system. By the way, the projector does with some pre-installed Apps. It includes YouTube and Netflix. A user can also enjoy watching some popular services like LiveTV. Direct and Kodi on a big projected display screen. That too covers more than a thousand channels.
The M18 projector comes with wireless Air mouse remote controller. A user can take the benefit of using the same that can work both as a remote or a mouse. It is possible by using a single key to turn the device into the mouse mode or a 2.4GHz Mini FlyMouse and back as a remote. It is a useful feature for a user to access the user interface of the projector system as per convenience.
The overall look and feel of the M18 user interface are clear and to the point. After boot up, a user can get a home screen with date and time displaying on the upper left portion. Also, there are some icons of connectivity options on the top right side.
There are big icons of settings, File Explorer, Google Play store, Eshare, YouTube, and access to other third party Apps. They are available on the home screen of AODIN M18 projector user interface. Also on the home screen at the bottom row, there are some small icons. They have been provided to directly access Facebook, WPS Office, Netflix, AirPlay, IMDb, Chrome, Twitter, etc.
How is the Output Sound Quality of the Projector Hardware?
An internal Stereo audio system is present inside the machine. It has been powered with two customized Full channel speakers those can generate 3W power each. Yes as the company is saying it is a fact that M18 can produce 360-degree surround sound with a balance toned quality sound output.
I can say it by considering the passive bass diaphragm that is present inside the M18 machine to provide more powerful sound effects. The output sound is layered and gives rich bass experience due to the presence of extra vibrating plates on the speakers.
The sound output from M18 is sufficient for an average sized room. However, for larger halls using external high power speakers with the projector can be the best option for you. A user can play different supportable audio formats on the device. It includes MPEG1 Layer3, AC3, EAC3, AAC, HEAAC, WMA, LPCM, and IMA-ADPCM/MS-ADPCM.
A Tour on the Overall Hardware Design of M18
The top and bottom surfaces of the M18 portable entertainment projector are white, and the side is black. You can consider it a white burger with some black chocolate in it or a spaceship of an alien! At the front side, there is a lens at the middle and a focusing gear on the left. The left and right sides of the AODIN M18 projector machine consists of some air vents to dissipate the internal thermals of the device.
At the opposite side of the lens in the hardware, there are some Interface ports. It includes two USB HOST 2.0(support Flash Drive read data), HDMI IN 1.4(480P, 576P, 720P, 1080P), a 3.5mm jack, a DC input, and a power switch.
At the top surface of M18 right at the center, there is a big rounded switch to power on/off the machine. Also, the buttons have been surrounded by an LED right that works as a status indicator of the projector for the user.
The bottom part of the device also consists of some air vents. They are in the form of small holes arranged as a group of columns arranged circularly on the outer white portion. It also includes a silicon anti-slip mat as a black portion probably at the center of the bottom that consists of Axle nuts. A 6mm hole has been provided at the bottom to connect the M18 device with a hanger or a tripod.
I am going to conclude my review article here regarding the projector by summarizing both the plus points and limitations of the device. The overall appearance of the M18 projection machine is based on Elegant Round Design with glossy finish at the top. The company designers have made Lightweight hardware on a mini-sized projector. It features delicate interior components.
There is no voice search function provided on the remote controller of the AODIN M18 device. It is otherwise ordinary on many other projector models available in the market in the same budget range. I found the internal cooling system provided inside the hardware is bit noisy but similar to that of a Desktop.
The remote controller of M18 consists of many buttons to control the behavior of the projector machine. It also works best to access the user interface and multimedia files that are stored on any internal or external memory unit.
However, the device comes with an adequate heat dissipation facility. It works well to maintain the temperature of the external hardware for a long interval of time. Unfortunately, the machine does not support the side projection, but it is not required either.
What are the High Selling Points of M18 Projector?
It is much easier to carry the M18 projector from one place to another due to the portable build quality of the machine. It is because of the presence of battery the device can be used for outdoor activities. Also, I would like to appreciate the performance of the remote controller that comes as a package with the device. It works with a good response rate with the machine.
I forgot to mention earlier regarding another beneficial feature of the M18. It is the fact that the device supports to project Ultra HD resolution pictures on a big display screen. The output display from the machine is safer for the eyes of viewers especially kids.
The projector does a Good job in producing compulsive Sound output. Also, the device does a great job to provide high brightness display output with Good daytime effects. I am happy with the complete performance of the mighty machine. And would recommend the product to others if they have a similar budget range. AODIN M18 is a Value for money multimedia portable projector!!!

Customer Reviews
My son has always been in the 90th percentile for head circumference (big head), so to have a rash guard that is a full zip is essential! These are perfect in color and fit. Fits true to size.
I ordered a 3t and returned it because it ran smaller than the 2t I bought my grandson the year before. I had to pay shipping to exchange it for a 4t. The quality looked good. Unfortunately the zipper on the 2t broke part way through the 2nd season he wore it. It was not heavily used. Hopefully, the next one will last longer or I won't be buying another.
We love swim zip rashguards!

General overview
Pegasys is a trade name for the medication called peginterferon alfa-2a which is a synthetic version of interferon produced by the body's immune system. This medication is indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C infection.
Peginterferon alfa-2a can be used as a stand alone treatment, but it can be combined with medications such as ribavirin, boceprevir and telaprevir.
Precautions when using this medication
There are certain medications which are contraindicated to be used with peginterferon alfa-2a, as well as medications which need to be used with caution when combined with it. These medications include the following:
- Telbivudine (contraindicated).
- Didanosine (when using ribavirin).
- Theophylline
- Methadone.
Patients going on this medication also need to inform their doctor if they have or have a history of certain medical conditions. This is very important since these medical conditions can either reduce the efficacy of the medication, or the medication can worsen the patient's medical condition. These issues may include the following:
- Kidney or lung diseases such as pneumonia.
- Heart or blood vessel disease including heart rhythm issues such as arrythmias.
- Eye problems such as optic neuritis.
- Chest pain.
- Bleeding problems and anaemia.
- Hyper- or hypoglycaemia.
- Hypertension.
- History of or current mental health issues.
- Active infection.
- Systemic lupus erythematosus.
- Rheumatoid arthritis.
- History of ischaemic incidences such as strokes.
- Thyroid disease.
- Liver disease (medication is contraindicated here).
- Regular visits to the prescribing doctor are important to make sure there aren't any unwanted side-effects and to make sure that the medication is working properly.
- Women using this treatment should not become pregnant as it can cause birth defects. Adequate birth control must be used by both male and female patients for up to 6 months after treatment is completed. Female patients need to have a pregnancy test done every month while on treatment and for 6 months after the last dose, too.
- Peginterferon alfa-2a can cause some people to become irritable and agitated. It can also cause some patients to become depressed and start having thoughts of suicide. The prescribing doctor needs to be made aware of this situation immediately.
- This medication can cause the white cell and platelet levels in the blood to drop which can increase the risk of infection and bleeding, respectively. It's important then to try and avoid contact with people who have active infections as well as let your doctor know if you're experiencing any abnormal or prolonged bleeding. Also, anyone who experiences passage of bloody or black, tar-like stool should seek immediate medical attention.
- Pancreatitis is another concern when using this medication. Let your doctor know if you experience signs and symptoms such as central abdominal pain which refers to the back, fever, nausea and vomiting.
The more serious and life-threatening issues have been mentioned above but it's also important to mention some issues which may worry patients. These are self-limiting problems which do tend to resolve on their own. They include the following:
- Diarrhoea.
- Back pain.
- Dry mouth.
- Scaly, dry skin.
- Reddening of the skin.
- Thinning hair or hair loss.
- Muscle or joint pain.
- Shivering, feeling cold.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Jet Core Booster is a fighter jet that the Earth Federation developed from the FF-X7-Bst Core Booster. The primary difference between the two units is that the FF-X7-Bst Core Booster is an FF-X7 Core Fighter equipped with the Bst Booster while the Jet Core Booster has been streamlined into a single unit that operates solely as a jet fighter. Both machines serve as high-speed aerial fighter units with high offensive capabilities that double as bomber units. Equipped with one machine gun at the top left of the aircraft. A military station is set up in the fuselage abdomen, where it can be equipped with various bombs and missiles, including large smart bombs.
- 25mm Vulcan Gun
- Missile Launcher
- Machine Gun
- Bombs
The Jet Core Booster was developed and produced during the latter days of the One Year War, likely to serve as the replacement for aging jet fighters such as the FF-6 TIN Cod. One of the most notable operations the Jet Core Boostertook part in was the assault on a Principality of Zeon base in the jungles of Southeast Asia, the mountain fortress being one of the last of Zeon's strongholds on Earth. A large number of Jet Core Booster units were deployed first to acquire air superiority. Once obtained the fighters' roles were switched to bombing the enemy base to cover the advance of the mobile suit assault forces.
After the end of the war the Earth Federation Forces saw that the future of combat vehicles lay with mobile suits and production of the Jet Core Booster was halted to divert resources to mobile suit research and development. The Jet Core Booster would continue service in U.C 0081, where they would be used in operations against Zeon remnants.
Action Figures
Notes and Trivia
- According to Master Archive Mobile Suit RX-78 Gundam, only 16 Jet Core Boosters were produced. However, this contradicts the depiction in The 08th MS Team. During the bombing of Zeon's mountain base alone, far more than 16 Jet Core Boosters were seen.

Netflix has been accused of tarnishing the good name of the Choose Your Own Adventure book series with its 'Black Mirror' film.
Bandersnatch was released on December 28 last year and became the streaming service's first major foray into interactive films.
Viewers were given the power to control the destiny of main character Stefan Butler (Fionn Whitehead) with the click of a button, in the style of a 'Choose Your Own Adventure' book.
Now, Chooseco (the publisher responsible for CYOA books) has slapped Netflix with a lawsuit for using their "distinctive" trademarks without permission.

"Netflix has no license or authorisation to use Chooseco's trademark and, upon information and belief, used the mark willfully and intentionally to capitalize on viewers' nostalgia for the original book series," the lawsuit filed in a Vermont federal court reads.
It goes on to say that Bandersnatch is "causing confusion, tarnishing, denigrating, and diluting the distinct quality" of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" name.
The Chooseco co-founder Shannon Gilligan said the Black Mirror film has caused great "confusion" to readers of the CYOA series.

"The misappropriation of our mark by Netflix presents an extreme challenge for a small independent publisher like Chooseco," Gilligan said in a statement.
"We have received an unprecedented amount of outreach from people who believed we were associated with the creation of this film, including parents who were concerned that we had aligned the CYOA brand they knew and loved with content that surprised and offended them," she added.

Chooseco has made comparisons between Bandersnatch and some of their iconic novels (The Abominable Snowman) and pointed out that the main character Stefan even references the series at the beginning of the film.
The publisher claims that the "dark and violent themes" in Bandersnatch have caused "reputational harm" to their brand.
Chooseco is seeking damages of $25 million US for trademark infringement, false designation of origin, trademark dilution and unfair competition.
Netflix has not yet responded publically to the lawsuit.

Love at Roades End
Book Description
Sean Newvine is looking forward to his weekend at Roades End Inn so he can review his stay there for inclusion on his travel website. What he never expects is for the owner, Hunter Roades, to capture his attention from the very start.
The only problem is Hunter thinks Sean's been sent by his brother on a blind date so that Hunter doesn't have to spend Valentine's Day alone. Once the awkward misunderstanding is resolved, Sean is charmed by Hunter's formality and hospitality. And when they have a chance to really talk, sparks fly.
A passion-filled night has them both wanting more, but Hunter pulls away knowing Sean doesn't live in town and the distance might be more than they can overcome. Sean and Hunter must figure out if they can make it work for longer than one night, or if their chance at love will end at Roades End Inn before it can begin.

For many people who go to a new country and learn a new language, there is a point in time when you are clearly comfortable enough with the language that you start dreaming in it. I am not a huge dreamer, and if I do dream I never remember it in the morning, so I'm not entirely sure whether or not I dream in French. I would like to say I do because I know many people who have been learning French for a much shorter period of time than me and yet they have been able to dream in French. That's not fair.
However, last night I had a dream that was half in English and half in French AND it would make a fantastic television game show. It would have been entirely in French, however I was in it and I was stumbling along with my not-quite-perfect speaking ability. Essentially the dream involved me partaking in a competition where I had to run around a supermarket putting items into a trolley. Yes, it was essentially Supermarket Sweep, however it was in French and we were given little electronic note pads that listed an item we had to find. Once we had found it in the supermarket and put it in our trolley, the note pad then changed to show a different item which we had to find. It was great fun!
However, I was at a slight disadvantage as the other competitors were French and therefore didn't have to translate the item they were being told to search for. However, they were both male and therefore didn't think like a supermarket aisle, something I am particularly skilled at. So when the next item was a 'measuring tape', the boys had all gone to general homewares section, where as I knew it would be in the sewing department. HA HA! Winner!
Actually, I don't know if I won because I woke up before the competition had finished. But I felt like I was doing ok. I have high hopes for coming back next week to play on for more great prizes!

Update on coeliac disease
Dr Sohail Butt provides essential advice to help GPs answer patients' frequently asked questions
How do you explain the difference between coeliac disease and wheat allergy?
People with coeliac disease have an intolerance to the protein gluten found in wheat, rye, barley and possibly oats. This intolerance is suggested by positive tissue transglutaminase or endomysial antibody tests, and confirmed by typical flattened mucosa found at small bowel biopsy and a positive clinical response to a gluten-free diet. Most people with coeliac disease can eat wheat once the gluten has been removed.
The diagnosis of wheat allergy is more difficult. A few people may develop quick-onset symptoms of anaphylaxis, urticaria, angio-oedema, bronchospasm or vomiting within an hour of ingestion of wheat.
However, there is a larger group of people who experience symptoms hours to days after ingestion of wheat products, whose symptoms respond to a wheat elimination diet.
Radioallergosorbent (RAST) tests, skin-prick tests, endoscopy and biopsy may offer additional clinical information, but are usually not in themselves diagnostic in this group
What are the symptoms and why has it affected the patient now?
People with coeliac disease may present with a range of symptoms and signs, and these can be divided into intestinal features and those caused by malabsorption. Many patients (especially those presenting in adulthood) have minimal or atypical symptoms, such as anaemia and chronic fatigue, and unless the diagnosis is considered the condition is easily missed or misdiagnosed in primary care.
If patients are diagnosed in their 40s, have they had the condition all their lives? Why do some patients face delay before diagnosis?
The peak age of diagnosis is 45. It is likely that most affected people have a genetic predisposition to the condition and that the illness is triggered by an as yet unidentified event and mechanism in childhood or adulthood. Studies suggest that most people have symptoms for many years prior to diagnosis, as these symptoms may be non-specific and attributed to other causes such as irritable bowel syndrome.
Is it likely to affect the patient's family?
Studies suggest that 3-5 per cent of first-degree family members of people with coeliac disease are affected by the condition. Genetic studies have identified specific HLA genes that 90 per cent of affected people will share.
If a patient has been avoiding gluten (because of symptoms caused) and requests a test for coeliac disease, how long will they have to resume eating gluten for serological tests to become positive?
The period of time needed on resuming gluten in the diet and the amount of gluten necessary to provoke serological immune response in susceptible individuals varies with each individual and is dependent on several factors. Studies suggest one factor is the amount of gluten eaten and another is the genetic predisposition of the individual.
Studies have shown that 0.3g/kg body weight/day of single gluten challenge causes immunological changes in the lining of the small intestine in paediatric patients on a gluten-free diet within two weeks.
However, other studies suggest the serological response is much slower with most patients developing a positive response in three months.
Using this evidence, many clinicians recommend eating the equivalent of about six slices of bread for at least three months prior to the serological tests.
However, if somebody experiences symptoms and feels unwell during this gluten challenge, I would consider carrying out serological tests earlier as well. If I obtained a positive test result, I would refer to hospital for an endoscopy and duodenal biopsy to confirm the diagnosis of coeliac disease.
Home test serological kits for coeliac disease are now available and are being promoted to the public. Evidence suggests these tests are as accurate as hospital laboratory tests.
Given the one in 100 positive serology rates in the general population, it is likely we will all be seeing patients requesting advice on interpretation of these results.
How should the patient be followed up?
Patients should be asked about dietary compliance and symptoms, have their height and weight checked, and blood taken for FBC, folate, alkaline phosphatase, and tissue transglutaminase antibodies. Tissue transglutaminase antibodies can be used to assess dietary compliance as they are raised in coeliac patients taking significant amounts of gluten in their diet. A review with a dietitian may be useful.
As patients have an increased risk of osteoporosis, I follow the Primary Care Society for Gastroenterology guidelines, which suggest coeliac patients should have a DEXA scan at the time of diagnosis, which is then repeated:
• at the menopause for women
• at age 55 for men
• at any age if a fragility fracture occurs.
Keeping to the gluten-free diet leads to improved bone mineral density of most coeliac patients.
Coeliac patients may have hyposplenism, which predisposes them to this serious pneumococcal infection. Hence, I follow the Department of Health advice and consider prophylatic immunisation against pneumoccocus in all my coeliac patients over two years of age.
There is an increased risk of coeliac disease in first-degree family members of
affected people, so I advise patients that
relatives should be assessed if they develop suggestive symptoms.
Are there any future developments imminent in treatment?
In recent years there has been significant progress in our understanding of the
pathological process that underlies coeliac disease.
With this knowledge comes the potential to devise therapies to block the process in susceptible individuals, which may in time lead to treatments that allow coeliac patients to ingest gluten-containing food on an occasional or regular basis.
Researchers in the Netherlands1 have tested the ingestion of specific enzymes with food, which suggests the gluten molecule may then be broken down in the stomach into harmless fragments that are not toxic to coeliac patients.
Researchers in Australia2 have further identified the exact fragments of the gluten chain that are toxic to coeliac patients. This team is now in early work on the development of a vaccine that may be used to de-sensitise people with coeliac disease.
US researchers3 have shown that people with coeliac disease may show greater permeability of the cells of the gut wall which may be mediated by the protein zonulin, and this has lead to research into zonulin receptor antagonists which may stabilise the gut membrane.
These therapies are all in the early stages of development, which may take many years to lead to safe and effective therapies. However, the progress to date seems encouraging.

This news is especially good for barbers in Missouri, because the cost of living in the state is one of the lowest twenty in the nation. Barbers in the 10th percentile, usually ones who are just starting out, have an average salary of $18.650 in Missouri. Barbers in the 90th percentile on the other hand make an average salary of $39,430. Barbers in the higher percentiles generally have more years of experience. These salary ranges do not include tips. Missouri is not one of the top paying states for barbers; however, the Kansas City and St. Louis metro areas are ranked as some of the top paying metropolitan areas for the barbering profession.

By Gideon
September 19, 2015
"The Israeli Air Force struck three terror targets in northern Gaza overnight after the Iron Dome system intercepted an Ashkelon bound rocket, and another rocket landed in Sderot causing damage to a house and bus." [YNET September 19, 2015]
If we are not careful, one day in the near future, we could be facing a major terrorist attack launched from the Gaza strip into Israel. Hamas doesn't need a reason, just an opportunity. Hamas keeps probing and testing the Israeli defense system, looking for a soft spot where it could bypass the multi-layer and multi-purpose barrier along the the Israel-Gaza border.
Hamas is being squeezed pretty hard by Egypt in retaliation for the role it played in the terrorist attack on Egyptian forces in July 2015 — a coordinated attack on fifteen Egyptian military outposts in the northern Sinai Peninsula, aimed to destabilize Egypt and topple the government. More than 100 militants and 17 soldiers were killed in the attack.
While Israel has caved-in under international pressure and allows construction materials to enter the Gaza strip, knowing very well that the majority of the material is being used for reinforcing attack tunnels aimed to destroy Israel, the Egyptians have taken a different approach; they are determined to seal the border between the Gaza strip and Egypt.
After clearing a kilometer wide strip along the Egypt-Gaza border by bulldozing residential houses to make it more difficult for Hamas to conceal its tunnels, the Egyptians are now laying a pipe in the sand along Egypt-Gaza border in order to flood the tunnels with seawater diverted from the Mediterranean Sea.
Israel is not sitting idle either. Most of what the IDF is doing is classified, but some information makes its way to Israeli newspapers, so we know the following:
- Most Hamas successes in the previous confrontation were the result of firing short-range mortars shells into Israel. The distance is so short that Israel's alert system was not effective. Israeli newspapers recently reported that Israel has improved its rocket alert system for near-range rocket attacks as described below:
- "The IDF's Southern Command and defense firms have recently finished installing the system, and it will likely become operational in the middle of next month. Improving the warning time has been a grave problem the defense establishment has been dealing with for many years, and particularly since last summer's Operation Protective Edge, that saw thousands of rockets rain over Israel – many of them short-range mortar shells that hit communities adjacent to the Gaza border. So far, residents in these communities only had five seconds from the moment the Code Red rocket alert siren was sounded until the rocket hit. Now, they will have 12-13 seconds to run for cover." [YNET – September 6, 2015]
- It was reported that Hamas is preparing to attack neighborhoods in Israel's southern cities Ashkelon and Ashdod in the next war. In its Hebrew version,YNET quoted yestreday the chief intelligence officer of the the Israeli navy, who stated that Hamas has combat divers. It is not difficult to guess their target: the same Israeli cities; Ashkelon and Ashdod, which are located on the Mediterranean shore, within a swimming distance from Gaza.
- Hamas and Israel may be already combating each other in the Mediterranean. If not, it will happen in the near future.
- Through its sophisticated intelligence capabilities, the IDF is most likely gathering information on specific location of Hamas' underground tunnels, combat divers, and rocket launchers. It is a difficult cat and mouse game, when the cat has to win every time and the mouse only need to win once to declare a victory.

If so, try having more fun in 2010, says John Tierney.
People who have moved to Chicago, Dallas and London get to fewer local landmarks during their entire first year than the typical tourist visits during a two-week stay, according to a study conducted by Suzanne B. Shu and Ayelet Gneezy, who are professors of marketing at the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of California, San Diego, respectively.
The Chicagoans in the study had visited more landmarks in other cities than in their own, and even their relatively small amount of local sightseeing was done mainly in the course of entertaining out-of-towners. Otherwise, the only time Chicagoans rushed to see the local landmarks was just before they were about to move to another city, when that deadline inspired sudden passions for taking architectural tours and going to the zoo.
If you're a Chicago resident, bundle up and get yourself down to Millennium Park soon.

Does thinking about big abstract concepts – instead of little concrete facts – lead to procrastination? Psyblog writes about a series of new studies on this question. From one study:
Participants were presented with one of the two pictures below just before they were asked to complete a simple survey. In the first experimental condition participants looked at the full painting of (pointillist Georges-Pierre Seurat's) La Parade and were told it is a good example of neo-impressionism in which the artist was using order and colour to invoke emotion and harmony.
In the second condition participants just saw (part of) the detail and were told that this demonstrated the pointillist technique of using contrasting points of colour to build up an image.
After this both groups completed the same survey which they were asked to return within three weeks. The survey's question, however, were essentially irrelevant, the only thing experimenters were interested in was how long participants took to complete and return the questionnaire. This was their measure of procrastination.
The results of this apparently simple manipulation were striking. Those who were thinking about the techniques of pointillism (concrete construal) returned their questionnaires in an average of 12.5 days while those thinking about emotion and harmony (abstract construal) took almost twice as long at an average of 20.5 days.
Reader Jeff Zemla thinks there's a lesson in here for choice architects trying to design procedures to avoid procrastination. Keep the nudgee's focus narrow. At least, when you put up a post-it note reminder to workout, it's better to say, "Burn 500 calories today," instead of, "Imagine how good you'll look in that new outfit."
Addendum: Is daydreaming just an exercise in "abstract construal"? Readers who want to see what La Parade looks like can go here.

Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky first proposed the term "planning fallacy" in their paper "Intuitive Prediction: Biases and corrective procedures" to describe the overoptimistic beliefs and procrastination that prevent people from doing all kinds of things on time like writing reports, filing taxes, or tackling do-it-yourself home projects. Economists Markus Brunnermeier, Filippos Papakonstantinou, and Jonathan Parker develop a theory to explain the planning fallacy in which people make poor predictions and procrastinate because the ex-ante benefit s of anticipating that a task will be easy to complete are larger than the ex-post costs of planning poorly.
Without an intermediate deadline, two features of the model lead a person to exhibit the planning fallacy. First, the person has anticipatory utility. Thus a person who initially believes that the task will be easy to complete has higher expected utility because he anticipates less work in the future. This fi rst ingredient provides an ex ante anticipatory benefit of overly optimistic beliefs. Second, the person optimizes given his beliefs. Thus a person with optimistic beliefs does little work in the present and ends up poorly smoothing work over time. This second ingredient implies an ex post cost of optimism on average: optimistic assessments lead to potentially costly delays and/or rushing at the end. Given these two ingredients, it is natural for people to exhibit the planning fallacy because a little optimism has fi rst-order ex ante anticipatory benefits and, by the envelope theorem, only second-order ex post behavioral costs.
The trio tests their theory with observational data from experiments, and find that "monetary incentives for accurate prediction ameliorate the planning fallacy while incentives for rapid completion aggravate it."

Tyler Cowen says a conference he was recently invited to exhibited a behavioral economics inspired pricing scheme.
(T)he price of registration rises by $150 for every week that passes. This encapsulates at least two principles of behavioral economics. First, it combats our natural tendency to procrastinate. Second, if you register early you feel you have won a bargain when in fact it still costs something. This is of course also a planning externality if they know the number and nature of attendees sooner rather than later.
Isn't this the same basic pricing strategy – charging more the closer it is to the event – that airlines use? One reason why airlines use this pricing strategy is to set aside a block of seats for likely last minute travelers, (ie. business travelers). Other events like concerts and New Year's Eve parties sometimes use this price strategy, actually. As do night clubs and bars that give discounts if you show up before midnight.

Dan Goldstein digs up three terrific web tools for boosting productivity.
1) Gmail is experimenting with a "Take a Break" option that prevents users from checking their email for 15 minutes and directs them to do something more productive instead.
To use it, you'll need to manually activate "Gmail Labs" inside Gmail. See the Gmail blog or if you're impatient, try Settings -> Labs from Gmail. Right now, it's only enabled in the US and UK.
2) A Windows program prevents users from opening and using any other program. Goldstein says this tool is designed to prevent opening email software or internet browser.
3) An add-on to FireFox called Time Tracker that logs how much time you waste (ahem, spend) on various sites.

Says Slate.
30 years ago, just 5 percent of Americans were self-described "chronic procrastinators"; today that number is up to 26 percent.
Blame technology (again). Men procrastinate more than women; the young procrastinate more than the old.
And what does all that procrastination get procrastinators? Nothing but trouble.
"Procrastinators tend to be more miserable, less wealthy, and less healthy than those people who don't dilly-dally," says psychologist Piers Steel.

PM Dahal says will step down within a weekPrime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said he will step down within a week.
Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said he will step down within a week.
A day after the first phase of voting for local level elections, PM Dahal told leaders of the Rastriya Janata Party Nepal (RJPN) on Monday that he was just about ready to hand over the government leadership [to the Nepali Congress] as one of the major tasks he had vowed to complete while in Singha Durbar has been completed.
A deal between Dahal's party CPN (Maoist Centre) and the NC required the Dahal government to conduct local level elections and hand over the government leadership. However, following concerns from the agitating Madhes-based parties, now largely known as the RJPN after the merger of six of them, local level elections were staggered in two phases, first of which was held on Sunday and the second one is scheduled for June 14.
Senior Maoist Centre leader Barshaman Pun said that PM Dahal would hand over the government leadership to NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba at the earliest and that the NC-led government would oversee the second phase of polls. During a recent headquarters meeting of the party also PM Dahal had said he would step down soon after the first phase of local elections. However, it is likely that the Dahal government will present the budget on May 29.
PM Dahal on Monday also tried to allay the RJPN leaders' concerns regarding the constitution amendment. The Madhes-based parties had supported the NC-Maoist Centre alliance during the prime ministerial election on August 3 following a promise that the Dahal government would amend the constitution in line with the Madhes-based parties' demand.
A revised constitution amendment bill is currently in Parliament.
According to RJPN leader Raj Kishor Yadav, PM Dahal and RJPN leaders were in agreement on approaching the Rastriya Prajatantra Party to seek the latter's support in endorsing the constitution amendment bill.
