Berlin is one of the top world cities. It is the center of commerce and culture in all of Germany. Today, Berlin has almost 800 hotels that service the needs of tourists. In 2010, there were more than nine million tourists that visited the city. Berlin ranks as one of the most visited city in the European Union.
The modern Berlin is born out of the historic city center, its sister town of Collin and the Nikolai center. The city was founded by settlements of the elector such as the Dorotheenstadt and Friedrichstadt that created what is now known as Greater Berlin in the early 20th century. The result of the evolution of the city was an overabundance of lights and sights.
Berlin has no definite center of tourism. There are patches of attractions that are all over the city. However, one should never miss during a visit in Berlin without seeing the Brandenburger Gate. The Brandenbuger Gate is originally part of the infamous Berlin Wall. It was used as the main entrance going into the city. It is the only remnant of the wall that used to symbolize a divided Germany. The Gate has been the symbol of a unified and stronger Germany. Since the fall of communism, the area surrounding the wall has been redeveloped to its old 19th century glory.
If you want to explore the history of Berlin Wall, don't fail to visit Checkpoint Charlie. The checkpoint is the famous control point between the border of East and West Germany during the height of the Cold War. You can take a walk along the wall's length by the Spree. This historical section of the city runs along the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg districts. The east side of the wall has been dedicated to street art that were preserved during the tear down of the wall.
On top of the wall is the Quadriga. The crown atop to gate was made by Johann Gottfried Schadow. This ornament is made of bronze to symbolize peace. The ornament was a symbol of victory over the French during the Napoleonic wars.
The Reichstag is the symbol of German politics. It has been the seat of the German parliament. It was destroyed during a huge fire; it symbolized the German defeat from the hands of the Soviets. This hastened the rise of Adolf Hitler who would soon grab the reigns of Germany.
Another neat lesson in history is the Holocaust Memorial. The memorial was dedicated to the numerous lives that were lost during the regime of Hitler and the Nazi party. It serves as a reminder to generations that violence will never achieve peace. You can tour the memorial anytime from 10 am to 8 pm.
If you want to have a picture for posterity; head off to the Photoautomaten that is scattered all over the city. The photo booths that still render the pictures in black and white is a reminder of the good old days and a fitting souvenir for your visit to Berlin.
When it comes to party, Berliners are the party animals of Deutschland. You can head off to the numerous dance halls in the city, especially on the weekends.
A visit to Berlin is both a fun-filled and educational. A lot of things can be learned from its history and legacy. It serves a fitting reminder of the freedom that Germany earned never came without a steep price.

Google could rule web search but that doesn't indicate it has all of the answers or it knows all methods to answer your issues, so the business has last week acquired California-based Like.com, a graphic search engine for buying.
Google's probable program with Like.com is to utilize the technologies behind the website to boost its synonymous image search works and integrate this kind of search in several goods and services. The financial details of the deal were not disclosed but reports state Google paid around $ 100 million for Like.com.
Google confirmed Aug. 20 it has acquired Like.com, whose graphic search engine assists folks match dresses and different apparel online and buy them from stores.
Financial terms were not disclosed, though TechCrunch mentioned the deal is within the neighborhood of $ 100 million.
Like.com CEO and founder Munjal Shah announced the deal found on the Like.com house page Aug. 20. A Google spokesperson told eWEEK, "We're satisfied and excited to welcome Like.com to Google, where they'll work carefully with our commerce team."
Search engines like Google and Microsoft's Bing and e-commerce websites including Amazon.com perform a fine job surfacing items including books, electronics and DVDs, commonly purchased online based on ratings and reviews.
Like.com mentioned it uses computer vision and engine understanding development to peddle "soft goods" or those that are bought based on a consumer's individual design and "whether the item matches an ensemble to active styles and opinions of the fashion elite."
"With that in your mind, we've developed technologies that lets us recognize visually what terms like 'red high-heeled pumps' and 'floral patterned sleeveless dress' mean and built algorithms to recognize whether those pumps complement or clash with that dress."
In impact, Google has acquired a graphic search engine advertising for fashionistas. While Google won't state just what it plans to do with all the technologies, the Google spokesperson dropped hints in this statement:
"While Like.com usually work its Websites individually in the close expression, we're excited about the development they've built as well as the domain expertise they'll bring to Google as we continue to work on building superb e-marketing experiences for our consumers, advertisers and couples."
Like.com's technologies might be used to Google's Product Search comparison buying Website, that is in beta, or Google's Commerce Search engine for stores.
What is certain is Google is investing mightily in computer vision technologies, which allows graphic search, for the desktop and mobile device.
Google in April acquired graphic art search engine Plink. This web advertising approach has been chosen to fortify Google Goggles, the mobile graphic search application Google introduced earlier this year.
Goggles, whose creator Hartmut Neven sold his business Neven Vision to Google in 2006, lets consumers search for information on objects and places by snapping images with their smartphone camera.
Google's venture capital arm furthermore invested in Pixazza, which assists Internet consumers buy items they see in pictures on Websites.
Like.com continues to be alive and kicking but can be shut, depending on Google's future moves.
With the more and more successful of the e-marketing newly, search engine advertising is become growing significant. I have been an expert in web advertising with experienced lucrative web advertising techniques. Should you are a webmaster of 1 sales site, I believe all these web advertising tips and secrets is useful for you.

I always spend $25 on amazon now because of the free shipping thing. I'd probably save in the long run if I didn't because I end up with more books than I originally went shopping for, but I guess I don't really care! Great choices--I like the color scheme!

I'm very interested in reading Blankets now with your glowing recommendation and I've been waiting for my library to get a copy of Shiver. I like that you color schemed your book selections!

I am on a self enforce buying freeze at the moment because I am like a kid in a toy shop when I go to a bookstore, or get on Amazon, I just can't say no. As for the library, I am borrowing, but keep having to renew renew renew. I just have too many books and not enough time to read.

Lenore & Mrs. DeRaps - I think if I had enough books in my personal collection, I'd be one of those people who arranged the spines by color instead of books by genre or author. :)
Carrie & Michelle - I really need to re-read Blankets soon so that I can share its wonderfulness with the world. That's one post that will take me a LONG time to write!
Jan - I know what you mean! And it's definitely the "Renew limit exceeded" that has me reading some books over others!

My father comes from Athens and my mother comes from Samos. Samos is a Greek island in the eastern Aegean Sea, the birthplace of the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras. When my parents met, they decided to settle down in Athens. Consequently, my life was divided into two places. As a family we used to spend the summer in Samos and the winter in Athens. I consider myself very lucky having grown up in a Greek island because those experiences in Samos have influenced and shaped my life in a very positive way.
How I ended up living in Vienna is another long story. The situation now is even worse because I feel that my life is divided in three countries, something between Italy, Austria, and Greece. Sometimes I have an identity crisis (you know, who am I, where do I belong) but I think to myself that I am just a girl who went international and it is absolutely fine like that.
There are two ways to reach the paradise aka Greek islands from abroad. Either you fly with a direct flight from your country to your desired destination, or you fly to Athens and then you take the ship from the harbor or the airplane from the airport Venizelos. Usually direct flights from abroad to the islands costs more but they are more convenient. On the other hand, taking the ferry from the Piraeus harbor to the islands takes more time to reach your desired island but it is more adventurous and you can hop the islands around. You have options; it's up to you to choose what suits you the best.
I have always been asked which Greek island tourists should definitely visit. That's a hard to question to answer for the reason that there is no correct answer. Greek islands vary and have a lot to offer. I am not able to know which one you are going to like most. They are all beautiful, each one for different reasons. It always depends on what you want and what you like. And they are so many. For romance, go to Santorini. For summer beach parties, go to Mykonos. For history, go to Crete. For the most carefree holidays that you have ever experienced, go to Ikaria. If you like small islands go to Paxi or Antiparos. For a less touristic island, go to Patmos, Skiros or Samothraki. For beautiful beaches go to Zakynthos, Skiathos or come to my paradise, to Samos.

Typically when a couple are expecting their first child they will receive great deals of presents from household and buddies. Among the presents that they are most likely to receive in all this in addition to diapers, toys and clothes will be a child quilt. Although these can be brought easily today it is much nicer if they receive one that has been made with love from someone who cares.
Any house furniture, including bedroom furniture, is indicated to be used for a long period of time and very long time indicates not simply years, but rather decades. You should try to find furniture that will not break or lose its color and shape within a short time period. If you are looking for discounted bedroom furniture, then it would be sensible to examine out some little stores and the ones that are not very preferred. However, the very best means to find an appropriate bedroom set is to buy it online. Many of them have physical places, so you should try to find an inexpensive furniture shop in your location. By doing this you will not need to pay a fortune for shipping and handling and, if anything will get harmed or broken, you can just exchange it or get it taken care of.
Whoever said that bedroom sets had to cost a great deal of cash to be comfy or appealing need to have profited from a populared name brand name furniture designer aiming to make a buck. You can discover affordable bedroom sets all over the location, many of which are perfect imitations of a few of the more expensive designs, without needing to look hard. Where are the very best places to start trying to find affordable furnishings for your bedroom? Embellishing your house with discount bedroom sets is made simple by online shops that cover the whole set into one package. While many high end furniture shops will sell products by the piece and never ever provide a price cut for bulk purchases, others will knock hundreds of dollars off the cost when you purchase the whole set. Many of these will let you include pieces to the discount bedroom sets for a very little expense too, such as a 2nd evening table, an armoire, or chest of drawers. Online shops have the benefit of conserving cash on shipping when getting several products and some will pass that savings on to you.
Quality is what you must look for when choosing a bedroom furniture set. Good quality bedroom furniture does not have to be very expensive. Almost all modern bedroom furniture comes in a combination of brown and black wood with wrought iron or chrome.
Furniture Leather beds are the ideal option for developing log cabin-inspired bed rooms. These beds have actually leather-upholstered headboards and footboards. Even the side rails can be made of leather-upholstered panels. Leather furniture is a terrific option for this rustic bed room as it's stylish yet long lasting. Leather beds made from top-grain and full-grain leather age well and develop a lovely patina.

Honda CR-V Cargo Space
One of the best features of any respectable crossover is cargo space. Crossovers are meant to be the perfect middle ground between the interior space of an SUV and the drivability of a sedan. Most deliver on that promise, which is why crossovers are growing in popularity in the Denver, Aurora, and Centennial areas faster than any other class of car.
If you're looking for one of the best crossovers in terms of cargo space, the 2018 Honda CR-V may be just what you need. Honda designed this crossover from the ground up with cargo space in mind that's not only spacious, but convenient to take advantage of. Learn more about the Honda CR-V cargo space, and discover if it's good enough for your standards.
Cargo Capacity by the Numbers
When it comes to cargo capacity, the 2018 CR-V excels beyond the competition. It has a roomy interior with plenty of legroom for passengers in the front and the back, so you might be thinking that cargo volume is limited without folding the seats down. Surprisingly enough, however, you'll have access to 39.2 cubic feet of space even with all the seats still up.
If you do fold them down, your cargo capacity nearly doubles, bringing the grand total up to 75.8 cubic feet. With that much available space inside, you'll be able to handle virtually any situation that comes your way. Thanks to the standard 60/40 split fold flat rear seat, it's easier than ever to customize your interior layout.
Smart Tailgate
Cargo space is always nice to have, but the Honda CR-V's tailgate makes it easier than ever before to take advantage of all that space. You can opt for the power tailgate, which will open and close the back of your CR-V with a simple push of a button. On the EX-L and Touring trims, this tailgate comes standard. There's even a height-adjustability feature that allows you to customize your experience further.
If you want to take things to the next level, make sure you opt for the hands-free access tailgate. All you have to do to open the tailgate with this feature installed is wave your foot under the rear bumper. This makes loading up your crossover so much easier, especially if you have your hands full. You'll find this feature standard on the Touring trim.
Additional Storage and Accessories
Inside every version of the Honda CR-V, you'll find additional storage space in your center console, door pockets, and front seatbacks. These little storage spaces are great for putting small items that you need easy access to. The center console storage is even big enough to store some laptops and tablets.
When there's no more room inside the CR-V for cargo, you still have a few more cubic feet of space available if you opt for the roof box. There are even accessories available that make storing cargo easier. With tie-down anchors, a retractable cover, and implemented area lights, you can be sure your cargo is safe and secure.
Test Drive the 2018 Honda CR-V
Considering the extensive 2018 Honda CR-V cargo space, it's no wonder this crossover has become so popular in the Centennial, Aurora, and Denver areas. If you want to give it a try for yourself, look no further than Mile High Honda. Our friendly team members are happy to show off every inch of this vehicle for you. Schedule your test drive today!

| 6.4°C Dublin
UP to 100 students whose private business school has closed will have their €250 deposit refunded or be given a place at an alternative college.
Staff and prospective students at HSI Limerick Business School -- owned by former 2fm DJ Michael McNamara -- were informed yesterday that the facility would not open for the upcoming term.
It is understood the school is closing due to a shortage of students applying for full and part-time courses.
Five full-time staff and up to 30 part-time staff were employed at the family-owned business in Limerick city.
Founded in 1951 by the McNamara family as a secretarial school, more than 80,000 students have graduated from the college. Past students included ex-Progressive Democrats TD Liz O'Donnell and poet and writer John Liddy.
Mr McNamara blamed the closure on the economic downturn. "Obviously, it is a very difficult day for me. I have worked 40 years at HSI," he said.
Students enrolling for this term will have their deposits refunded or will be accommodated by Griffith College.

text: Paul Quinnett - September 23, 2010 Lore By Paul Quinnett For those who don't recognize his name, Paul Quinnett wrote the back-page column in Shooting Times from 1988 until 1995. He earned a PhD in clinical psychology, specialized in suicide prevention, headed up the adult and elderly services department at Spokane Mental Health for 30 years, and later founded QPR Institute Inc., a suicide prevention education firm. He is the author of more than 1,000 stories, articles, columns, and essays. His books include Pavlov's Trout: The Incompleat Psychology of Everyday Fishing, Darwin's Bass: The Evolutionary Psychology of Fishing Man, Fishing Lessons: Insights, Fun, and Philosophy From a Passionate Angler, and several on the subject of suicide. As part of our year-long 50th anniversary celebration, we present this piece from the September 1994 issue of ST. It's one of my favorites!- Joel J. Hutchcroft, EditorNot long ago I read a study by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) that suggests something is fundamentally wrong with deer hunters. Deer hunters have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, so you can imagine my alarm when I learned there might be something wrong with them. And I mean mentally. Are deer hunters unstable? Are they weird? Stupid? What gives anyway? My reading of deer hunters is that they tend to be quiet, well-mannered folks who don't care to hang around shopping malls, pool halls, or politics. Off in the woods following their own rules of fair play and fair chase, you don't hear much from deer hunters. Deer hunters make it a practice to not talk too much--except back at camp after sundown where they often engage in telling stories that occasionally bear some resemblance to the facts. Meeting a deer hunter for the first time, they don't strike you as crazy. 100 Percent SuccessThe people who conducted the NSSF study of deer hunter behavior (based on deer hunting success figures nationwide) drew the curious conclusion that deer hunters achieve a "100 percent success rate" in their sport. Imagine that. One hundred percent success. You don't get a 100 percent success rate in any sport I know of. Not in basketball wins. Not in football victories. Not in stock car racing, golf, tennis, tournament bass fishing, or anything else. I know some pretty fair dart throwers, and even they can't throw bullseyes every time. So, if the animal rights activists are right (that the blood-thirsty deer hunter's only motive is to kill deer), then how do they account for the following findings?€¢ In 1993 12 million deer hunters spent over 100,000,000 days afield. The majority of these hunters failed to kill a deer.€¢ Hunting an average of 22 days for each deer taken, the average hunter kills a deer every 2½ hunting seasons. In some states the wait is an average of 10 years.€¢ Hunters spend some $14 billion (that's $40 million a day) on their sport. The amount of money they spend while not killing deer does not seem to deter them.Question: How can millions of deer hunters spend millions of days in the deer woods spending millions of dollars and not kill all that many deer? Are they slow-witted?True, a few deer hunters don't have the sense God gave a goose, but the vast majority are savvy folks. For example, I hunt deer myself and know for a fact that I have more sense than God gave a goose--provided you don't include wild Canada geese in the lineup. Well then, are deer hunters just plain nuts?Well, they surely are, unless, of course, deer hunters are after something other than deer. A day spent in the woods? An evening around a campfire limbering up tall tales? Or perhaps something even more elusive?The authors of the study suggest there is something "intangible" about deer hunting that accounts for this consistent report of having "100 percent" success on each outing. If it weren't for this intangible, deer hunters would probably quit deer hunting and take up checkers. So there has to be something else hunted and found besides deer on deer hunting trips. Why else would the average Joe or Josephine gladly spend some $850 each year on equipment, transportation, food, licenses, stamps, tags, and permits?The Lure Of LoreMy answer? Lore. What is hunted and found besides big bucks is lore. Hunting lore to be precise. Hunting lore, by my measure of it, is more valuable than a big rack or winter venison. Hunting lore is priceless.The one thing hunters can count on bringing back from a hunting trip is lore. It may be a big hunk of lore--like getting lost in a snowstorm and finding your way out again--or it may be a bit of lore no bigger than a robin's egg--like having a ruffed grouse go off under your foot and stop your heart in your throat. Hunting lore isn't like golf lore or fishing lore or football lore. Hunting lore is unique to hunting, and only real hunters can get it. You can't step into a supermarket and pick up a six pack of hunting lore. You can't rent the video. You can't ease over to a couple of deer hunters at the corner tavern, eavesdrop on their conversation, and pick up any lore that will do you any good. You can't steal hunting lore, you can't borrow it, and you can't beg it. You have to go get your own.Lore is lore precisely because it is authentic, and the only way to lay hands on the real McCoy is to get out there in the woods and look for it. Looking for lore helps, but sometimes lore just happens. Like that time my brother-in-law got caught between a sow bear and her cub. Some of the best lore comes from just barely not getting mauled, lost, or frozen stiff. Top-quality hunting lore can last a lifetime.It's interesting, too, that every real hunter can spot phony hunting lore a mile away; it doesn't smell right, ring true, or bounce the way it should. Every so often Hollywood tries to put a hunting scene in a movie, and some nonhunting writer will attempt a bit of lore he picked up on the cheap. And for every real hunter who sees the scene, the movie is ruined. If you pass it down carefully to the children you take hunting with you, good hunting lore can last several lifetimes. Campfires are lore training schools: How to look for lore, how to pick it up, and how to show-and-tell others is at the heart of the "Hunting Lore Academy." The Green Hills of Africa by Earnest Hemingway is an example of loreput in book form that will last generations. But you can't get much more than a smell for lore from good hunting books. To get your very own stock of lore, you need to actually go hunting. A lot. To different places sometimes. Back to the old haunts again and again. To keep your stock of lore fresh and exciting, it helps to mix it up, see new places, climb strange ridges, and explore far valleys.While it's true that a little lore can go a long way with strangers, you need a lot of lore to keep up with your hunting buddies. There is nothing so pathetic as a hunter at a campfire who has just shot hiswhole wad and, staring vacantly into the fire, has nothing more to add. And God forgive him if he tries to make something up.Since lore can't be ordered with a credit card through an 800 number, you can't plan for the sort of lore you're going to bag, although I suppose it helps to spend time deep in the Michigan woods or high in the Rocky Mountains or, if you can afford it, in Botswana or Kenya. Although I can't afford it, someday I'd like to try an African safari just on the chance that I could bag enough lore to fill a couple steamer trunks. A couple steamer trunks full of African hunting lore would put me on easy street if my elk-hunting party ever gets snowedin for a week.But I'll settle for any lore I can get. Even a little lore, if you take care of it, will take care of you. For example, while putting an edge on some new deer hunter's blade, you glance up and see a "U" in the top of a pine tree. You dip into your porcupine lore bag and explain to the greenhorn how porcs chew the tops of pines like that because that's where the soft wood is.How do you know that? Because on a mule deer hunt in the Fish Lake National Forest in southern Utah back in the early 1960s you once saw a porc do it. And speaking of Utah mule deer€¦But there I go, sifting through my now vast store of hunting lore and putting the poor reader at risk of yet another digression.Clearly, deer hunters are not crazy or stupid or anything else abnormal. The truth is deer hunters are like all other hunters, and all hunters hunt a great deal more than their quarry.Whether or not game is killed, the true purpose of hunting is to find lore, stories to tell, traditions to build, skills to teach, and to nurture and blend friendships and family life with a love of nature. Then, with luck and hope in your heart, perhaps you will find buck tracks in fresh snow.The hunt you then begin is not just to find and kill the deer, but to find the thing you didn't know you were hunting for until you found it.

My order was missing the Mocha Chip cookie but the team was prompt with a refund. The rest of the flavors were delicious and addictive. I am definitely ordering more!
I enjoyed my 'six-pack' of CompletEats cookies. There is a variety, so able to enjoy all of them. They are amazingly tasty without having all the 'bad' ingredients. Plant based and yummy.
My fiance and I love to try and keep healthy food in the house and we also love variety to keep things fun and interesting! Whenever we have these superfood cookies in the house, it's makes life so much easier for our active and busy work lives. I highly recommend the variety pack to indulge in the all the delicious flavors. We have shared our cookies with people in the food and restaurant industry who have more discriminating palates and seriously everyone loves them!
I've switched over to these cookies and it's helped me tremendously with my diet and sweet tooth cravings. As a dietitian there are so many healthy treats out there that taste "healthy" but this cookie is so delicious you don't know you're eating something healthy 🤣

The Colour Works' work contributes massively to building outstanding teams – developing the foundations of greater self-awareness, honesty, openness, acceptance and appreciation of different behavioural styles and needs – and although from time to time we have the privilege of working with sportspeople (Scottish Rugby, England Women's Cricket), most of these teams are office-based.
So imagine our delight in being asked to work with a group of 24 intrepid volunteers on the world-first Ice Warrior expedition to the Northern Pole of Inaccessibility.
About Ice Warrior
Ice Warrior is all about modern-day exploration using ordinary, everyday people to achieve extraordinary expeditionary feats. Their ethos harks back to the days when polar expeditions were not only pushing the boundaries of human endurance and extending the levels of the human spirit but purposeful explorations of the coldest and most remote regions of our planet.
Exhibition leader, Jim McNeill, says:
"The one thing we cannot have on the ice is any sense of split or unaired disgruntlement in the team. These guys will face all sorts of emotions on the trip and they have to learn how to deal with their own state as well as with each other. All of our lives may depend on how they do so! For that reason, I wanted to bring in the expertise of The Colour Works to help us all open up to each other and turn any possible frustrations into opportunities for growth."
The 24 – including a firefighter, a psychotherapist, a tree surgeon, a teacher and an electrician – recently came together for an intensive 12-day training programme based at the Youth Hostel at Bellever, Dartmoor. And amongst the fitness regime and skills development, including night-time hikes across the moors, rope skills and specialist equipment, came a day with Giles Miskin, MD of The Colour Works, introducing the colours and the profiles.
"A really vital piece of the jigsaw", said Jim. "This has impacted hugely positively on all concerned and most importantly given us an easy and memorable language to tackle the more difficult areas of team-working. We are looking forward to continuing working with The Colour Works to really help us bond together as an outstanding team."

More triggering options. Let's say I want to decode on a I2C protocol. A very handy trigger will be by Address or Address & Data (like most MSO have). Let's say I have more than one I2C devices on bus, and I'm interested to see only one device (address) communication, writing or reading to a particular register or command. I should expect to see only that particular event captured. Look at the most real time logic analyzers and try to implement those triggers, cause without them we will end up searching the capture, and be limited by duration of that capture.
larry_c Jul 11, 2018
Also add a feature like trace before, trace around to the current "trace after" feature.
Mark Garrison Jul 11, 2018
Hi Your flat-headness,
Our current products all trigger in software, by searching the data as it's streamed over USB. Triggering in software is tricky because ideally it needs to be done in real time, which gets limited based on the processing power of the system, and other factors. We have a basic fallback right now, which allows the product to work even if the trigger isn't running real time, but it results in significant memory usage.
However, the door is left open for searching existing captures for features, which I would like to do a lot more of. We did add the feature to let you change the trigger settings and then use is as a pattern search for an existing capture. This, combined with the measurements feature, which lets you run statistics over ranges of data on a specific channel, can be used to help find specific features in a capture. I'd love to really expand features for that though.
In the future, we'll need to start doing triggering in hardware for future product generations though, as I think we're already a little past the limit of what we can expect to do in software in real time.
Lord Dimwit Flathead (the excessive) Jul 11, 2018
Yes, yes, YES! This logic analyzer is very cute and I love the simplicity of the interface. But without more sophisticated triggering, it is little more useful on my bench than my memory O-scope. This is supposed to be a LOGIC analyzer. To anyone that has ever used an HP 124x or DAS, that means I should be able to wait for bit 0 to be low, bit 1 to be high, trigger on the nth rising edge of bit 2 and only sample state when bit 3 is low, high, rising, or falling at my discretion.
Sadly, I suspect the existing hardware will not support anything close to this level of sophistication. But you might be able to get closer with some small realtime improvements and post-capture processing..... I'll keep watching and hoping...

Purpose: The present study attempts to further validate the COPE Index on a large sample of carers drawn from six European countries. Design and Methods: We used a cross-sectional survey, with approximately 1,000 carers recruited in each of six countries by means of a common standard evaluation protocol. Our saturation recruitment of a designated quota of carers occurred by means of several channels, in identified geographical zones within countries. Interviews were carried out with primary informal carers by use of a common assessment tool. We subjected items of the COPE Index to principal component analysis and we assessed emergent components through the use of Cronbach's alpha reliability procedures. We examined factor components as summative scales for confirmatory correlations with caregiving and psychological variables. Results: Three components emerged, which we identified as the negative impact of caregiving, the positive value of caregiving, and the quality of support for caregiving. Internal consistency was good for negative impact and satisfactory for positive value and quality of support. Negative value was most consistently and strongly correlated with caregiving and psychological variables, although we did find diverse associations between these variables and the COPE Index subscales. Implications: The COPE Index is a brief, first-stage assessment of some sophistication that can enable health and social care professionals to develop appropriately targeted interventions to enhance the positive aspects of the caregiving experience and quality of support, as well as reduce the negative impacts of caregiving.

This study included all individuals attending a community-based treatment centre during a 4-year period. Patients were referred to the treatment centre from the primary health care (17%), social insurance office (8%), social workers (19%), employers (7%), prisons and probation administration (3%), on their own initiative (25%), and by other means (21%). The participants, 355 men and 164 women, all between 18 and 64 years of age, were compared with the total population in the municipality with regards to gender differences in sociodemographic characteristics. Adult life circumstances such as legal problems, broken relationships, unemployment and lower social class, in both men and women, were clearly associated with an alcohol dependence or at least of seeking help for this problem. The study also emphasises important social consequences of alcohol dependence in women, such as legal problems and drunk driving, normally associated with male alcohol dependence. The study revealed that living with an abusing partner was associated with a higher frequency of alcohol dependence in women. The findings are important issues to address when offering treatment to women with alcohol dependence. ⌐ 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for psychological disorders is becoming increasingly popular on the Internet. However when using this workstation approach, components such as training and learning relaxation skills, problem solving, exposure exercises, and sleep management guidance must be done in the domestic environment. This paper describes design concepts for providing spatially explicit CBT with mobile phones. We reviewed and analyzed a set of treatment manuals to distinguish elements of CBT that can be improved and supported using mobile phone applications. The key advantage of mobile computing support in CBT is that multimedia can be applied to record, scale, and label anxiety-provoking situations where the need arises, which helps the CBT clients formulate and convey their thoughts and feelings to relatives and friends, as well as to therapists at subsequent treatment sessions.
Drinking water disinfection byproducts have been associated with an increased risk for congenital defects including cardiac defects. Using Swedish health registers linked to information on municipal drinking water composition, individual data on drinking water characteristics were obtained for 58,669 women. Among the infants born, 753 had a cardiac defect. The risk for a cardiac defect was determined for ground water versus surface water, for different chlorination procedures, and for trihalomethane and nitrate concentrations. Ground water was associated with an increased risk for cardiac defect when crude rates were analyzed but after suitable adjustments this excess rate was found to be determined by chlorination procedures including chlorine dioxide. Chlorine dioxide appears itself as an independent risk factor for cardiac defects (adjusted odds ratio 1.61 (95%CI 1.00–2.59)). The risk for cardiac defects increased with increasing trihalomethane concentrations (P=0.0005). There was an indicated but statistically nonsignificant excess risk associated with nitrate concentration. The individual risk for congenital cardiac defect caused by chlorine dioxide and trihalomethanes is small but as a large population is exposed to public drinking water, the attributable risk for cardiac defects may not be negligible.
Identification of prognostic subgroups is of key clinical interest at the early stages of chronic disease. The aim of this study is to examine whether representation of physicians' expert knowledge in a simple heuristic model can improve data mining methods in prognostic assessments of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Five rheumatology consultants' experiences of clinical data patterns among RA patients, as distinguished from healthy reference populations, were formally represented in a simple heuristic model. The model was used in K-mean-clustering to determine prognostic subgroups. Cross-sectional validation using physician's global assessment scores indicated that the simple heuristic model performed better than crude data made in identification of prognostic subgroups of RA patients. A simple heuristic model of experts' knowledge was found useful for semi-automatic data mining in the chronic disease setting. Further studies using categorical baseline data and prospective outcome variables are warranted and will be examined in the Swedish TIRA-program.
Computer-based simulation of influenza outbreaks in local communities can help researchers, epidemiologists, and decision makers better understand the impact of the community structure on the reproduction rate of disease, and the relative benefits of different types of prevention and interventions. The goal of scenario modeling is to develop a description of scenario components, such us the disease, the community and interventions. An ontology-based representation of the scenario model together with a modeling tool, which is based on an extension to Protege assist scenario developers in formulating simulation specifications. This approach allows the exploration of new ideas by rapidly formulating and reconstructing scenarios from novel components.
Aims: To study the introduction of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccination in Sweden, and to identify factors promoting and inhibiting the process. Methods. The introduction of general childhood vaccination against Hib in Sweden in 1992-93 was studied using the Cultural Historical Activity Theory as a theoretical framework. Results: Five activity systems were found to be involved in the introduction process, the systems of vaccine production, government administration, news distribution, science, and disease prevention. The critical factors for introduction of the programme were found to be the vaccine product, conception of the disease, government economy and public decision-making. Conclusions: The results show that a broad range of non-biomedical aspects must be considered when a public health intervention such as a general vaccination programme is introduced.
There are many psychosocial aspects of chronic diseases, such as diabetes. Educational multimedia can support patients with chronic diseases and their families by communicating narratives based on social realism. The production of such socio-realistic interactive health dramas requires systematic methods, especially for the identification of significant stories. The aim of this study is to explore the use of self-documentary video in the design of an Interactive Health Drama environment to support diabetic adolescents and their families. In particular, the potential of the self-documentary video for story development in combination with qualitative interviews were explored. The proposed approach, when further developed, is intended to enable all types of chronic disease patients to work with their specific psychosocial problems in a supportive and stimulating environment adapted to their personality and preferences.
Objective: To estimate the impact of osteoporosis fractures on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in postmenopausal women. Methods: To compare the impact on HRQOL of different osteoporotic fractures, 600 consecutive women 55-75 years old with a new fracture (inclusion fracture) were invited by mail. After exclusions by preset criteria (high-energy fractures, ongoing osteoporosis treatment, or unwillingness to participate), 303 women were included, 171 (56%) of whom had a forearm, 37 (12%) proximal humerus, 40 (13%) hip, and 55 (18%) vertebral fracture, respectively, and all were investigated and treated according to the current local consensus program for osteoporosis. In addition, HRQOL was evaluated by the SF-36 questionnaire and compared with local, age-matched reference material. Examinations were performed 82 days (median) after the fracture and 2 years later. Results: HRQOL was significantly reduced at baseline regarding all SF-36 domains after vertebral fractures and most after hip fractures, but only regarding some domains after forearm and humerus fracture. After 2 years, improvements had occurred after all types of fractures, and after forearm or humerus fracture, HRQOL was completely normalized in all domains. However, 2 years after hip fracture, HRQOL was still below normal regarding physical function, role-physical and social function, while after vertebral fracture, scores were still significantly lower for all domains, physical as well as mental. Patients with one or more previous fractures before the inclusion fracture had lower HRQOL at baseline and after 2 years, compared with those with no previous fracture. Patients with osteoporosis (T-score < - 2.5 in hip or spine) had lower HRQOL than those with normal BMD. Conclusion: Vertebral and hip fractures have a considerably greater and more prolonged impact on HRQOL than forearm and humerus fractures. The number of fractures was inversely correlated to HRQOL. These differences should be taken into account when making priorities in health care programs.
Conventional smart card-based authentication systems used in health care alleviate some of the security issues in user and system authentication. Existing models still do not cover all security aspects. To enable new protective measures to be developed, an extended model of the authentication process is presented. This model includes a new entity referred to as secure server. Assuming a secure server, a method where the smart card is aware of the status of the terminal integrity verification becomes feasible. The card can then act upon this knowledge and restrict the exposure of sensitive information to the terminal as required in order to minimize the risks. The secure server model can be used to illuminate the weaknesses of current approaches and the need for extensions which alleviate the resulting risks.
The aim of this study was to investigate whether therapeutic riding (TR, Sweden) hippotherapy (HT, United States) may affect balance, gait, spasticity, functional strength, coordination, pain, self-rated level of muscle tension (SRLMT), activities of daily living (ADL), and health-related quality of life. Eleven patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) were studied in a single-subject experimental design (SSED) study, type A-B-A. The intervention comprised ten weekly TR/HT sessions of 30 minutes each. The subjects were measured a maximum of 13 times. Physical tests were: the Berg balance scale, walking a figure of eight, the timed up and go test, 10 m walking, the modified Ashworth scale, the Index of Muscle Function, the Birgitta Lindmark motor assessment, part B, and individual measurements. Self-rated measures were: the Visual Analog Scale for pain, a scale for SRLMT, the Patient-Specific Functional Scale for ADL, and the SF-36. Data were analyzed visually, semi-statistically and considering clinical significance. Results showed improvement for ten subjects in one or more of the variables, particularly balance, and some improvements were also seen in pain, muscle tension, and ADL. Changes in SF-36 were mostly positive, with an improvement in Role-Emotional seen in eight patients. Conclusively, balance and Role-Emotional were the variables most often improved, but TR/HT appeared to benefit the subjects differently.
Chronic diseases do not only manifest themselves as sets of pathophysiological factors. They bring about an equally important psychosocial impact. Unfortunately, it is difficult to account for this impact in the development of supportive technologies. This study describes and explores a method for elicitation of requirements on technologies supporting self-management including emotional aspects. The method takes advantage of a self-documentary media kit for collection of data from the everyday context of chronic disease. The resulting contextual data can contribute new insights to multi-disciplinary teams in the design of supporting technologies.
The aim of this study was to investigate the nature of chronic pain in male war-wounded refugees and to examine the relationship between chronic pain and psychiatric symptoms. A culturally heterogeneous group of 44 war-wounded refugees were investigated during hospitalization, shortly after arrival, and followed up after two years. This study is an additional follow-up after eight years. The data collection methods used were structured interviews and physical examination. The measures of outcome were: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) grading of pain, clinical categorization of pain into nociceptive or neurogenic, Hopkins Symptom Check List (HSCL-25), Post Traumatic Symptom Scale (PTSS-10). Chronic pain was found in 32 (73%) out of 44 subjects. The pain was purely nociceptive and neurogenic in 53% and 25%, respectively. The frequency of psychiatric symptoms was significantly related to the mean intensity of pain. War-wounded refugees display psychiatric symptoms and chronic pain in a complex pattern. Further research is needed as a basis for pain rehabilitation programmes suitable for this group.
The World Health Organization urges all nations to develop and maintain national influenza preparedness plans. Important components of such plans are forecasts of morbidity and mortality based on local social and geographic conditions. Most methodologies for simulations of epidemic outbreaks are implicitly based on the assumption that the frequency and duration of social contacts that lead to disease transmission is affected by geography, i.e. the spatial distribution of physical meeting places. In order to increase the effectiveness of the present methods for simulation of infectious disease outbreaks, the aim of this study is to examine two social geographic issues related to such models. We display how the social geographic characteristics of mixing networks, in particular when these significantly deviate from the random-mixing norm, can be represented in order to enhance the understanding and prediction of epidemic patterns in light of a possible future destructive influenza pandemic. We conclude that social geography, social networks and simulation models of directly transmitted infectious diseases are fundamentally linked.
A large part of the health promotion in today's society is performed as peer-to-peer empowerment in voluntary organisations such as sports clubs, charities, and trade unions. In order to prevent work-related illness and long-term sickness absence, the aim of this study is to explore computer network services for empowerment of employees by peer-to-peer communication. The 'technique trade-off' method was used for the analysis of the system design. A Critical Incident Technique questionnaire was distributed to a representative sample of trade union shop stewards (n = 386), and focus-group seminars were arranged where a preliminary set of requirements was discussed. Seven basic requirements were identified and matched to a set of 12 design issues for computer network services, allocating a subset of design issues to each requirement. The conclusion is that the systems design displays an inexpensive and potentially feasible method for peer-to-peer computing in voluntary health-promoting organisations. © 2005 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc.
Seventy-seven patients with neck pain in the primary health care were included in a prospective, randomized clinical trial and randomly assigned to general exercise, McKenzie treatment, or a control group. Seventy patients completed the treatment, response rate 93% at 12-month follow-up. All three groups showed significant improvement regarding the main outcomes, pain intensity and Neck Disability Index, even at 12-month follow-up, but there was no significant difference between the groups. In all, 79% reported that they were better or completely restored after treatment, although 51% reported constant/daily pain. In the McKenzie group compared with the control group, a tendency toward greater improvement was noted for pain intensity at 3 weeks and at 6-month follow-up, and for post-treatment Neck Disability Index. Significant improvement in Distress and Risk Assessment Method scores was shown in the McKenzie group only. The three groups had similar recurrence rates, although after 12 months the McKenzie group showed a tendency toward fewer visits for additional health care. The study did not provide a definite evidence of treatment efficacy in patients with neck pain, however, there was a tendency toward a better outcome with the two active alternatives compared with the control group.
Purpose: To gain a deeper understanding of how elderly persons experience and evaluate the care and rehabilitation process. Method: Qualitative interview data from elderly patients were analysed using a grounded theory approach. The patients were interviewed twice, at the beginning of geriatric hospital care and some weeks after discharge. Results: The patient-perceived outcome of the care and rehabilitation process reflected two dimensions, the effect on their health and the quality of the process, i.e. how their needs were met. The analysis revealed that the patients' needs differed during the care and rehabilitation process. It also indicated that patients perceived their needs and the care differently based on their previous experience of the care unit, their perceived trajectory of illness and their 'patient character' which represented the patient's definition of himself/herself and the situation. A hypothetical model of the patients' evaluation process has been derived. Conclusion: The results indicate the importance of using a process perspective in the assessment and the interpretation of patient-perceived outcome of care and rehabilitation, and that patient expectations, trajectories of illness and the patient character must be taken into consideration.
The association between low socioeconomic status and poor health is well established. Empirical studies suggest that psychosocial factors are important mediators for these effects, and that the effects are mediated by psychobiological mechanisms related to stress physiology. The objective of this paper is to explore these psychobiological mechanisms. Psychobiological responses to environmental challenges depend on acquired expectancies (learning) of the relations between responses and stimuli. The stress response occurs whenever an individual is faced with a challenge. It is an essential element in the total adaptive system of the body, and necessary for adaptation, performance and survival. However, a period of recovery is necessary to rebalance and to manage new demands. Individuals with low social status report more environmental challenges and less psychosocial resources. This may lead to vicious circles of learning to expect negative outcomes, loss of coping ability, strain, hopelessness and chronic stress. This type of learning may interfere with the recovery processes, leading to sustained psychobiological activation and loss of dynamic capacity to respond to new challenges. Psychobiological responses and health effects in humans and animals depend on combinations of demands and expected outcomes (coping, control). In studies of humans with chronic psychosocial stress, and low SES, cortisol baseline levels were raised, and the cortisol response to acute stress attenuated. Low job control was associated with insufficient recovery of catecholamines and cortisol, and a range of negative health effects. Biological effects of choice of lifestyle, which also depends on the acquired outcome expectancies, reinforce these direct psychobiological effects on health. The paper concludes that sustained activation and loss of capacity to respond to a novel stressor could be a cause of the higher risk of illness and disease found among people with lower SES.
Self-rated health (SRH) is a strong predictor for disease and death. The relations among SRH, psychosocial factors, and cortisol dynamics were tested using pooled data from the LiVicordia study of 50-year-old men in Lithuania (n = 94) and Sweden (n = 89), controlling for effect of residence. SRH was assessed by " How would you assess your own health?" A standardized laboratory stress test included measures of cortisol in serum and saliva. Good SRH related to high scale scores of decision latitude, social support at work, coping, self-esteem, and sense of coherence, to low scores of overcommitment (all p < .01) and vital exhaustion (r = -0.40, p < 0.001), to low concentrations of saliva baseline cortisol (r = -.26, p = .001), and to a strong cortisol response to stress (r = .27, p = .001). Findings that good SRH related to favorable psychosocial characteristics and to a dynamic cortisol stress response indicate a possible explanation for observed lower risk for disease and death in this state.

Discography is the only available method of directly challenging the discs for pain sensitivity. However, it is invasive, expensive and there is a debate about its clinical value. There is a need to identify clinical signs that may indicate the need for a discography examination. Pain centralization (retreat of referred pain to towards the spinal midline) has been associated with positive discography and possesses specificity between 80 and 100% depending on levels of disablement and psychosocial distress. Less than half of positive discography patients reports centralization and there is a need to identify other potentially valuable predictors. This study estimated the diagnostic accuracy of clinical variables in relation to provocation discography. In a blinded, prospective reference standard design in a private interventional radiology clinic, chronic low back patients received a detailed clinical examination followed by discography. Patients were typically disabled with high levels of psychosocial distress. Logistic regression modelling identified potentially useful clinical variables, and sensitivity, specificity and likelihood ratios were calculated for promising specific variables and combinations of variables. Of 118 consecutive discography cases, 107 had unconfounded data on discography results. History of persistent pain between acute episodes, a significant loss of extension and a subjective report of 'vulnerability' in what is termed as the 'neutral zone' had specificities of 83-92% and likelihood ratios between 2.0 and 4.1. Two combinations of variables were highly specific to positive discography, but no suitable screening test useful for ruling out positive discography was established. Three clinical variables have modest predictive power in relation to lumbar discography results and two combinations of variables were highly specific to positive discography. © 2006 Springer-Verlag.
Background: Only controlled intra-articular zygapophyseal joint (ZJ) injections or medial branch blocks can diagnose ZJ-mediated low back pain. The low prevalence of ZJ pain implies that identification of clinical predictors of a positive response to a screening block is needed. Purpose: To estimate the predictive power of clinical findings in relation to pain reduction after screening ZJ blocks. Study design: As part of a wider prospective blinded study investigating diagnostic accuracy of clinical variables, a secondary analysis was carried out to seek evidence of variables potentially valuable as predictors of screening ZJ block outcomes. Patient sample: Chronic low back pain patients received screening ZJ blocks (n=151) with 120 patients included in the analysis after exclusions. Outcome measures: Pain intensity was measured using a 100-mm visual analog scale, and responses were categorized according to 75% through 95% or more pain reduction in 5% increments. Methods: Patients completed pain drawings, questionnaires, and a clinical examination before screening lumbar ZJ blocks. History, demographic and clinical variables were evaluated in cross tabulation and regression analyses with diagnostic accuracy values calculated for variables and variable clusters in relation to different pain reduction standards. Results: At the 75% pain reduction standard, 24.5% responded to screening ZJ blocks and 10.8% responded at the 95% standard. The centralization phenomenon is not associated with pain reduction using any standard. No variables were useful predictors of post-ZJ block pain reduction of less than 90%. Seven clinical findings were associated with 95% pain reduction after blocks. Five useful clinical prediction rules (CPRs) were found for ruling out a 95% pain reduction (100% sensitivity), and one CPR had a likelihood ratio of 9.7, producing a fivefold improvement in posttest probability. Conclusions: A negative extension rotation test, the centralization phenomenon, and four CPRs effectively rule out pain ablation after screening ZJ block. One CPR generates a fivefold improvement in posttest probability of a negative or positive response to ZJ block. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Background: The tissue origin of low back pain (LBP) or referred lower extremity symptoms (LES) may be identified in about 70% of cases using advanced imaging, discography and facet or sacroiliac joint blocks. These techniques are invasive and availability varies. A clinical examination is non-invasive and widely available but its validity is questioned. Diagnostic studies usually examine single tests in relation to single reference standards, yet in clinical practice, clinicians use multiple tests and select from a range of possible diagnoses. There is a need for studies that evaluate the diagnostic performance of clinical diagnoses against available reference standards. Methods: We compared blinded clinical diagnoses with diagnoses based on available reference standards for known causes of LBP or LES such as discography, facet, sacroiliac or hip joint blocks, epidurals injections, advanced imaging studies or any combination of these tests. A prospective, blinded validity design was employed. Physiotherapists examined consecutive patients with chronic lumbopelvic pain and/or referred LES scheduled to receive the reference standard examinations. When diagnoses were in complete agreement regardless of complexity, "exact" agreement was recorded. When the clinical diagnosis was included within the reference standard diagnoses, "clinical agreement" was recorded. The proportional chance criterion (PCC) statistic was used to estimate agreement on multiple diagnostic possibilities because it accounts for the prevalence of individual categories in the sample. The kappa statistic was used to estimate agreement on six pathoanatomic diagnoses. Results: In a sample of chronic LBP patients (n = 216) with high levels of disability and distress, 67% received a patho-anatomic diagnosis based on available reference standards, and 10% had more than one tissue origin of pain identified. For 27 diagnostic categories and combinations, chance clinical agreement (PCC) was estimated at 13%. "Exact" agreement between clinical and reference standard diagnoses was 32% and "clinical agreement" 51%. For six pathoanatomic categories (disc, facet joint, sacroiliac joint, hip joint, nerve root and spinal stenosis), PCC was 33% with actual agreement 56%. There was no overlap of 95% confidence intervals on any comparison. Diagnostic agreement on the six most common patho-anatomic categories produced a kappa of 0.31. Conclusion: Clinical diagnoses agree with reference standards diagnoses more often than chance. Using available reference standards, most patients can have a tissue source of pain identified. © 2005 Laslett et al, licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

Raymond Federman was born in Paris on May 15, 1928, the son of Simon and Marguerite Federman. In 1942, when Raymond was 14, the Gestapo came to the family's door. Telling him not to make a sound, his mother shoved him into a tiny closet on a stairway landing. Raymond huddled there, listening, as his parents and sisters, Jacqueline and Sarah, were marched down the stairs.
Raymond spent the war in hiding on a farm in the South of France. His parents and sisters died in Auschwitz.
Mr. Federman came to the United States in 1947; in the Korean War, he served with the United States Army in Korea and Japan. He earned a bachelor's degree in French from Columbia in 1957, followed by master's and doctoral degrees from the University of California, Los Angeles.
Before joining the faculty at Buffalo in 1964, Mr. Federman taught at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He retired from Buffalo, where he also taught French and comparative literature, in 1999.
