Now that my Racket Web Application is up, how do I manage it?

I don't expect the Racket Web Server to go down regularly, but I don't want to be disturbed:

###If My App Takes a Dive Into Shiz Creek

I want it to restart, and continue like nothing happened.

I need something that will supervise or monitor the Racket web server process, and restart the service if it goes down. A process supervisor.

Fortunately, there are some process supervision tools available: supervisord, monit, daemontools, daemontools-encore, bluepill, perp, runit, god, eye, and s6; to name a few. I only need one.

###A Lean, Mean Process Machine
D. J. Bernstein's daemontools appears all but forgotten to those who choose their applications based on tweets, trends, stars and forks - which is unfortunate, as its got the thousand-yard stare and stoicism of a battle-hardened process monitoring and ass-kicking veteran.

I went with daemontools because its stable and proven, doesn't require me to install a new language or language tools, and includes logging.

####Installing and Configuring daemontools
Installing daemontools on Ubuntu is as simple as:
{% highlight bash %}
apt-get install daemontools csh daemontools-run
{% endhighlight %}

Configuring it took a little more work.

First, we need to create the following directories:

{% highlight bash %}
# create /etc/service
# /etc/service/trycode.io
# /etc/service/trycode.io/log
# in one fell swoop
mkdir -p /etc/service/trycode.io/log
{% endhighlight %}

Then we need to write the scripts that daemontools needs to run and log the service. My Racket web app sits in `/srv/trycode.io`, so I'll write the script `/srv/trycode.io/run`

{% highlight bash %}
#!/bin/sh

ID=`command -v setuidgid`
RACKET=`command -v racket`

exec $ID trycode $RACKET /srv/trycode.io/trycode/main.rkt
{% endhighlight %}

Create a log directory: `mkdir /srv/trycode.io/log`, then create shell script `/srv/trycode.io/log/run`:
{% highlight bash %}
#!/bin/sh

ID=`command -v setuidgid`
MLOG=`command -v multilog`

exec 2>&1
exec $ID trycode $MLOG t s10485760 n5 '!tai64nlocal' /var/log/trycode
{% endhighlight %}

Make both scripts executable:
{% highlight bash %}
chmod a+x /srv/trycode.io/run
chmod a+x /srv/trycode.io/log/run
{% endhighlight %}

The directory structure should now look like this:

Now create symbolic links to the scripts:
{% highlight bash %}
ln -s /srv/trycode.io/run /etc/service/trycode.io/run
ln -s /srv/trycode.io/log/run /etc/service/trycode.io/log/run
{% endhighlight %}

This sounds like I book I should definitely read! 2017 was a rough time for me, but at the beginning of 2018 I had several sessions with a life coach & she helped me get out of my comfort zone & accomplish my goals & the rest of the year was pretty great!
I've been stuck in such a rut for these past few years just floating along without really knowing what I wanted in life. Now I'm determined to break that down and get back into gear again, but this time without the burnout or endless desire to 'hustle'.


This is a tricky week for the wine sales rep.
Restaurants are historically a bit slow (but not always). The attention for the consumer dollar is between shopping for Thanksgiving and the looming Black Friday, leaving less time and money for eating out.
And of course, everyone will have leftovers in the fridge this weekend.
For a wine sales rep, it's a week of empathy. A week to really put yourself in the shoes of your buyers and help in any way you can.
It's not a week for selling. It's a week for helping.

Daniel Duncan McKinnon (21 April 1927 – 6 August 2017) was an ice hockey player who played for the American national team. He won a silver medal at the 1956 Winter Olympics. He was born in Williams, Minnesota.

McKinnon had been an All-Star while playing for the University of North Dakota hockey team following the Second World War. In 1951 McKinnon followed a group of friends to San Bernardino, California for a year. He played hockey for the San Bernardino Shamrocks and worked as a diesel engine repairman for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. McKinnon's hockey career came to an end in 1958. While he was out deer hunting, his gun misfired and destroyed part of his hand, preventing him from being able to hold a hockey stick properly. He retired from the sport and joined the staff of the Marvin Window Company, for which he worked for more than two decades. McKinnon died in Warroad, Minnesota.

Block Fusing is a method that many modern tailors and home-sewists use to apply interfacing to fashion fabric yardage before the pattern pieces are cut out. Have you ever struggled keeping the interfacing layer from slipping off-grain as you attempt to fuse it to your fabric yardage? Next time, try this fast, easy, and accurate method that I learned from a Master Tailor, called "SPOT-FUSING"...And it can be done right on your cutting table!
First, we need to prepare the surface of the table. The photo above shows my cutting table covered with 2 layers of HEAVY weight muslin (from Gorgeous Fabrics), and one layer of very thick wool (a heavy wool blanket will work as well..I just happen to have felted wool yardage that I use for this technique). It is VERY important that these layers be smooth and free of wrinkles, so thoroughly smooth them out before proceeding.
Next, lay out your fashion fabric on top of your "padded" table, WRONG side UP...making SURE it is smooth. What you see in the photo above is 3 yards of 60" wide silk/wool suiting fabric. The cut edge of the fabric is to the left, with the rest of the yardage hanging off the right side of my table. There is no need for weights to hold the fabric in place...the under-layer of wool holds it nicely. But if you need to, weights can be placed along the top edge (in the above photo, the (top) cut edge is to the left).
Now lay your Interfacing FUSIBLE Side DOWN on the (wrong side) of the fashion fabric, making sure it is smooth and on grain. I am using Charcoal-Black Pro-Weft Supreme Light Interfacing, one of my custom-milled professional grade interfacings available exclusively at Fashion Sewing Supply.
This is where the Spot-Fusing happens :) USING a thin PRESS CLOTH, and your steam iron set to a low-wool setting, start moving your iron over the interfacing with an UP and DOWN motion. DO NOT slide the iron, just move it all over the interfacing, pressing with steam for a few seconds, picking up the iron, moving it over an inch or so, and steam pressing again for a few seconds. I start pressing in the middle along one edge, and spot-press to one side until I reach the edge of the yardage, then begin again in the middle and work towards the other edge. I keep repeating this, working my way down and along the yardage, until all the yardage on my table has had the interfacing "tacked" (SPOT FUSED) down. Then I carefully pull the next section of fabric + unfused interfacing so that it covers the table, making sure that all is smooth and on-grain...then repeat the Spot-Fusing process again until all the fashion fabric yardage has been Spot-Fused. I can Spot Fuse a few yards of 60" fabric in about 5-10 minutes.
Please note that the object here is to just tack the interfacing to the fabric...NOT to fuse it completely..that comes later.
After removing the Muslin+Wool "padding" from your cutting surface, carefully lay your Spot-Fused fabric yardage right side up, lay out your pattern pieces and cut them out.
NOW is the time when we take our garment pieces to our "official" pressing surface (your Ironing Board or ClamShell Press), and "finish the fuse"...following the complete fusing instructions that come with your interfacing.
An Elna Press, at least 10 years old and only used about ten times ! And not just any press, but one with a Sleeve Board ! Oh happy day ! I missed my commercial steam press so much when it died last year.
But this one will be a dandy stand-in until I can acquire another commercial press.
Now that is just too cool...no pun intended :) And will save me so much time when pressing shirts, especially the final press before one of my custom shirts gets shipped to a client !
And speaking of shirts...as I promised in a post way back on December 13, I will finally be starting to sew my version of the Collette Patterns Negroni Shirt later this week. Though the pattern comes with an excellent set of instructions, I will be refining some of the steps along the way for a more professional finish. I'll snap some pics along the way, so you can see what I am dong a bit differently, and why...so stay tuned.
I have kept quiet about this new Etsy Vintage Pattern store long enough to scope out several pattern that I wanted for myself...so now I'll share ;) CoudreMode Vintage Patterns!
Phyllis, the shop owner, is a third generation sewist, (and one of the original Sewing Divas) now selling many of the patterns from her own personal collection and those of her mother and Grandmother. There are patterns in her shop dating from the 30's to the 80's....really lovely styles!
(NAYY...though I do "know" Phyllis as a 'sewing friend'..and am a big fan of her sewing and fashion blog, CoudreMODE ).


The following should be read as more like questions than it may seem. Are women's theories really seen like this? Are these factors really at play? And so on.
And I am doing this in a rush.
In my earliest days in philosophy, as one scanned the history of the subject, there seemed to be a near complete absence of women. This was scary, actually, because one seemed to be proposing that one could be one of the first to do something. And the idea that women couldn't do philosophy did seem to have some evidence, however puzzling the idea was.
Thanks to many philosophers' work, it has become clear that this picture of the absence of women in philosophy is simply wrong. But I wonder whether women's work in general is brought into mainstream thought, despite wonderful efforts by some outstanding people. This does seem to be changing a bit for contemporary women, but much, much less so for historical women.
If it is true that women's work largely remains footnotes to male philosophy, it is worth asking why. If we understand why, we might be able to mitigate it. I have three remarks to make about this. Then I have one depressing worry that there is an underlying cause that is very powerful.
1. For much of history, women's entry into philosophy (and music, the arts) was through an advocacy by their fathers that they be let into the otherwise male activity.
2. Women's work has been appropriated. I just recently saw work that claimed that Babylonian laments – most definitely the project of women – shows up finally in the choruses of male Greek playwrights' plays.
3. There is in philosophy – at least today when we are evaluating historical texts – quite a lot of hostility to original thoughts. And women's original thought may be particularly suspect. This leaves women with one alternative: accept as basic the framing of the problems in male philosophy. Otherwise, you are pretty much out on a limb which many will saw off.
If these are causes, then they point to something we can do in working with women's texts, and that have been done already. One is to try not to introduce the women's work through describing their fathers' supports. It is with just about any woman until very recently remarkable that she learned to read and that she had any contact with topics taught in men's schools. Still, this might not be the place to begin.
Since I am running out of time, let me cut to the chase. From one point of view, the facts I've mentioned may pale in comparison to another, which to some extent might be a separate cause and also something holding some of the factors in place.
This overriding cause may be: misogyny. As understood by Mann (Down Girl) one strong facet of misogyny is the deep expectation that women are supposed to serve men. So sure they can comment – maybe very well – on men's texts, but they aren't supposed to produce rivals.
In a rush, let me suggest that this would account for the remarkable appropriation of women's work that occurs. I think nearly every women I know has seen this.


Most people recognize The Progressive Corporation (NYSE:PGR) as the company that invades their living rooms with relentless "name your own price" and "Flo: The Insurance Girl" TV commercials. But for our paid Passive Monthly Income subscribers, the company has become a growing source of dividends.
Progressive's ads may look goofy. Behind the playful persona, however, stands a cutthroat business managed by some of the smartest bean counters on the planet. The company boasts a fortress-like balance sheet with $38.4 billion in assets, with a light debt load and ample liquidity.
Progressive's financial savvy and iron finances explain why management boosted the dividend in February. Executives set this year's annual payout at $1.12 per share, up 65% from last year. Based on Progressive's price at the time of this writing, that comes out to a yield of 1.1%.
That figure might not knock the socks of the most yield-hungry investors, but overlooking this stock for its low upfront distribution would be a mistake. The company uses a variable formula to calculate its annual payout, which ensures investors get a slice of the firm's growing profits. And since 2011, Progressive has nearly tripled its dividend.
You can credit much of that growth to Progressive's lucrative insurance business. The company wrote $5.6 billion in insurance premiums last year, up 16% from 2016. Thanks to a booming economy and more cars on the road, the need for auto insurance has surged.
The thing that I like most about Progressive's performance, though, is how much of that revenue makes its way down to the bottom line. Progressive paid out only $0.907 for every $1.00 written in premiums, versus $0.939 cents during the same period last year. Management credited this improvement to higher insurance prices, avoiding risky customers, and paying out fewer claims.
Now, a profit margin of less than 10% might not sound great. Most insurance companies, however, actually lose money writing insurance, and make the bulk of their profits on interest income from upfront premiums waiting to be paid out as claims. So if an insurer makes a profit on underwriting in addition to its investment income, you have a strong business on your hands.
Investors can expect another strong year in 2018. The Progressive Corporation's recent entry into homeowners insurance seems to be paying off, following a big spurt of growth in agent sales over the past few quarters. The ability to bundle auto and homeowners insurance provides a unique edge in the marketplace and should continue to drive strong top-line growth.
Moreover, the industry should benefit from higher interest rates. With yields starting to tick up across the board, The Progressive Corporation has seen profits from its investment portfolio surge over the past few quarters.
That will likely translate into higher profits–and higher dividends–in 2018.

A.1. What are the anesthetic implications of glaucoma?
With open-angle glaucoma, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) exists in conjunction with an anatomically patent anterior chamber angle. It is thought that sclerosis of trabecular tissue produces impaired aqueous filtration and drainage. Treatment consists of medication to produce miosis and trabecular stretching. Commonly used eye drops include epinephrine, echothiophate iodide, timolol, dipivefrin, and betaxolol. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors such as acetazolamide can also be administered by various routes to reduce IOP by interfering with the production of aqueous humor. All these drugs are systemically absorbed and can, therefore, have anticipated side effects.
It is important to appreciate that maintenance of IOP is determined primarily by the rate of aqueous formation and the rate of aqueous outflow. The most important influence on formation of aqueous humor is the difference in osmotic pressure between aqueous humor and plasma. This concept is illustrated by the equation:
IOP = K [(OPaq − OPpl) + CP]
where K = coefficient of outflow, OPaq = osmotic pressure of aqueous humor, OPpl = osmotic pressure of plasma, and CP = capillary pressure. The fact that a small change in solute concentration of plasma can dramatically affect the formation of aqueous humor, and hence, IOP is the rationale for administering hypertonic solutions, such as mannitol, to reduce IOP. Fluctuations in aqueous outflow can also markedly change IOP. The primary factor controlling aqueous humor outflow is the diameter of Fontana's spaces, as illustrated by the equation:
where A = volume of aqueous outflow per unit of time, r = radius of Fontana's spaces, PIOP = IOP, Pv = venous pressure, η = viscosity, and L = length of Fontana's spaces. When the pupil dilates, Fontana's spaces narrow, resistance to outflow is increased, and IOP rises. Because mydriasis is undesirable in both closed- and open-angle glaucoma, miotics such as pilocarpine are applied conjunctivally in patients with glaucoma to effect papillary constriction.
The aforementioned equation describing the volume of aqueous outflow per unit of time clearly underscores that outflow is exquisitely sensitive to fluctuations in venous pressure. Because an elevation in venous pressure results in an increased volume of ocular blood as well as decreased aqueous outflow, it is obvious that a considerable increase in IOP occurs with any maneuver that increases venous pressure. Hence, in addition to preoperative instillation of miotics, other anesthetic objectives for the patient with glaucoma include perioperative avoidance of venous congestion and of overhydration. Furthermore, hypotensive episodes are to be avoided because these patients are purportedly vulnerable to retinal vascular thrombosis.
Although glaucoma usually occurs as an isolated disease, it may also be associated with such conditions as Sturge-Weber syndrome, aniridia, mesodermal dysgenesis syndrome, retinopathy of prematurity, Refsum syndrome, mucopolysaccharidosis, Hurler syndrome, Stickler syndrome, Marfan syndrome, and von Recklinghausen disease (neurofibromatosis). Additionally, ocular trauma, steroid therapy, sarcoidosis, some forms of arthritis associated with uveitis, and pseudoexfoliation syndrome can also be associated with secondary glaucoma.
Primary closed-angle glaucoma is characterized by a shallow anterior chamber and a narrow iridocorneal angle that impedes the egress of aqueous humor from the eye because the trabecular meshwork is covered by the iris. Relative pupillary block is common in many angle-closure episodes in which iris-lens apposition or synechiae impede the flow of aqueous from the posterior chamber. In the United States, the prevalence of angle-closure glaucoma (ACG) is one-tenth as common as open-angle glaucoma. In acute ACG, if the pressure is not reduced promptly, permanent visual loss can ensue as a result of optic nerve damage. It is thought that irreversible optic nerve injury can occur within 24 to 48 hours.

A.2. What side effects and important anesthetic interactions are associated with eye drops used to treat glaucoma?
Echothiophate is a long-acting anticholinesterase miotic that lowers IOP by decreasing resistance to the outflow of aqueous humor. Useful in the treatment of glaucoma, echothiophate is absorbed into the systemic circulation after instillation in the conjunctival sac. Any of the long-acting anticholinesterases may prolong the action of succinylcholine because after a month or more of therapy, plasma pseudocholinesterase activity may be less than 5% of normal. It is said, moreover, that normal enzyme activity does not return until 4 to 6 weeks after discontinuation of the drug. Hence, the anesthesiologist should anticipate prolonged
apnea if these patients are given a customary dose of succinylcholine. In addition, a delay in metabolism of ester local anesthetics should be expected.
Although topical epinephrine has proved useful in some patients with open-angle glaucoma, the 2% solution has been associated with such systemic effects as nervousness, hypertension, angina pectoris, tachycardia, and other dysrhythmias.
Timolol, a nonselective β-adrenergic blocking drug, has historically been a popular antiglaucoma drug. Because significant conjunctival absorption may occur, timolol should be administered with caution to patients with known obstructive airway disease, severe congestive heart failure, or greater than first-degree heart block. Life-threatening asthmatic crises have been reported after the administration of timolol drops to some patients with chronic, stable asthma. Not unexpectedly, the development of severe sinus bradycardia in a patient with cardiac conduction defects (left anterior hemiblock, first-degree atrioventricular block, and incomplete right bundle branch block) has been reported after timolol. Moreover, timolol has been implicated in the exacerbation of myasthenia gravis and in the production of postoperative apnea in neonates and young infants. Patients may report feelings of fatigue and/or depression in association with the use of timolol drops.
In contrast to timolol, a newer antiglaucoma drug, betaxolol, a β1-blocker, is said to be more oculospecific and have minimal systemic effects. However, patients receiving an oral β-blocker and betaxolol should be observed for potential additive effects on known systemic effects of β-blockade. Caution should be exercised in patients receiving catecholaminedepleting drugs. Although betaxolol has produced only minimal effects in patients with obstructive airway disease, caution should be exercised in the treatment of patients with excessive restriction of pulmonary function. Moreover, betaxolol is contraindicated in patients with sinus bradycardia, greater than first-degree heart block, cardiogenic shock, and overt myocardial failure.
A.3. Should glaucoma medications be discontinued before elective surgery?
For all the aforementioned reasons, it is important to continue glaucoma medications in the perioperative period. Moreover, the anesthesiologist must be aware of which medications the patient is taking and the effects of these drugs on anesthetic management.
A.4. Is this patient morbidly obese?
Morbid obesity is defined by a body mass index greater than 40 kg per m2. This patient has a body mass index of approximately 30 and would, therefore, be considered obese. See Chapter 63, section A.2.
Bucklin BA, Fernandez-Bustamante A. Anesthesia and obesity. In: Barash PG, Cullen BF, Stoelting RK, et al, eds. Clinical Anesthesia. 7th ed. Philadelphia, PA: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins; 2013:1274-1293.
A.5. What medical conditions may be associated with obesity and morbid obesity?
A plethora of conditions may be associated with obesity and morbid obesity including diabetes, hyperlipidemia, cholelithiasis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, cirrhosis, degenerative joint and disc disease, venous stasis and thrombotic/embolic disease, sleep disorders including obstructive sleep apnea, several types of cancer, and emotional disorders. Diseases of the cardiopulmonary system are common and concerning. They include, but are not limited to, systemic hypertension, pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale, restrictive lung disease, and right and left ventricular hypertrophy.

B.1. What advantages does outpatient surgery offer?
Outpatient surgery typically offers greater convenience to the patient (less time away from home, family, and work), a more pleasant environment with less stress and emotional disturbance, and a reduced risk of infection, particularly for the immunocompromised or the pediatric patient. Additionally, outpatient surgery is more economical and enables more efficient use of operating rooms with greater flexibility in scheduling surgery. Finally, one is not dependent on the availability of hospital beds.

B.2. What are the goals of the preoperative evaluation of the surgical outpatient?
The objectives of the preoperative evaluation are as follows:
To perform medical assessments, obtain data, arrange for laboratory tests and consultations as indicated, and prescreen for relevant conditions in order to optimize perioperative outcome
To obtain informed consent
To provide information and instructions to reduce patient anxiety and improve perioperative management
Organization of preoperative screening varies among ambulatory surgical facilities throughout the country. The screening process may be organized with an office or facility visit before the day of surgery, by a telephone interview or review of health questionnaire without a visit, or by preoperative screening and visit on the morning of surgery. Each of these systems has its advantages and disadvantages. Nevertheless, the system for preoperative evaluation of ambulatory surgical patients should ensure that screening is performed far enough in advance so that preexisting disease can be evaluated, treatment optimized, and laboratory data recorded before the patient presents for anesthesia. Written instructions should be supplied to the patient in advance describing the preoperative workup, admission, and recovery periods.

B.3. In order to thoroughly screen for disease, should one put all outpatients through a full battery of laboratory testing?
No. The practice of preoperative "shotgun" laboratory screening for outpatient surgery has received much criticism. In addition to unnecessarily adding several billion dollars annually to the cost of health care, laboratory screening tests in asymptomatic patients have been shown to be of dubious value. History and physical examination are a better means of screening for disease and should serve to reduce expensive, potentially harmful, and inappropriate tests.

Chung F, Yuan H, Yin L, et al. Elimination of preoperative testing in ambulatory surgery. Anesth Analg. 2009;108:467-475.
B.4. What preoperative laboratory testing is necessary for the surgical outpatient?
Most outpatient surgical facilities consider the operative procedure and the patient's age, medical condition, medication history, and state and local regulations in determining which preoperative tests are "required." For the healthy ambulatory patient between the ages of 1 and 40 years having a minor surgical procedure, no laboratory testing may be required.
Pregnancy testing is a highly controversial issue. Many believe that pregnancy testing should be offered to all consenting females of childbearing potential. This approach, however, does not substitute for an appropriate pregnancy history and physical examination. Hemoglobin or hematocrit determination is appropriate for surgical procedures associated with substantial blood loss (unlikely in the ambulatory venue) and for patients at risk for anemia or polycythemia, such as children younger than 1 year or with suspected sickle cell disease, patients with a history of anemia, blood dyscrasia or malignancy, patients with congenital heart disease or chronic disease, women with heavy menstrual flow, and patients older than 60 years old. Additional testing depends on an individual's preexisting condition. For example, serum electrolyte testing would be indicated for a patient with a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, renal disease, or for those patients taking diuretics, digoxin, steroids, or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. Likewise, measurement of the partial thromboplastin time (PTT) and the prothrombin time (PT) would be indicated in the presence of a bleeding disorder, anticoagulant use, liver disease, or poor nutritional status. Preoperative urinalysis has not been shown to be useful as a screening test and is no longer required in a routine anesthetic evaluation.

B.5. Which outpatients should receive a preoperative chest roentgenogram?
Abnormalities in the chest x-ray in asymptomatic patients are rare, and the risks to the patient probably exceed the benefits. A preoperative chest x-ray is indicated only for patients with a history or clinical findings of active pulmonary disease. Extremes of age, smoking, stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, stable cardiac disease, or resolved recent upper respiratory infection should not be considered absolute indications for chest x-ray.

B.6. In which patients is an electrocardiogram (ECG) necessary before outpatient anesthesia and surgery?
It has not been established that information obtained from the preoperative ECG affects clinical care. Indeed, the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines published in 2007 were silent on the need for a preoperative ECG based on age alone. According to the updated 2014 ACC/AHA guideline, a preoperative ECG is "reasonable for patients with known coronary artery disease, significant arrhythmia, peripheral arterial disease, cerebrovascular disease, or other significant structural heart disease, except for those undergoing low-risk surgery." The 2014 guideline specifically states that a preoperative ECG is "not useful for asymptomatic patients undergoing low-risk surgical procedures." The 2007 ACC/AHA guidelines considered ambulatory surgery as one entity, classifying all ambulatory procedures as low-risk, with reported cardiac mortality <1%. The 2014 version, however, defines a low-risk procedure as one in which the combined surgical and patient characteristics predict a risk of major adverse cardiac event (MACE) of death or myocardial infarction to be <1% and cites as examples cataract and plastic surgery. A further refinement in the 2014 guideline was to eliminate the separate categories of intermediate risk and high risk, substituting the category of elevated risk, reflecting procedures with a risk of MACE of ≥1%. These guidelines reflect the belief that in the absence of active cardiac conditions (defined as unstable coronary syndromes, decompensated heart failure, and significant arrhythmias [e.g., high-degree atrioventricular block, symptomatic ventricular arrhythmias,
and supraventricular tachycardia with uncontrolled ventricular rate]), cardiovascular testing in stable patients would rarely result in a change in management and it would be appropriate to proceed with surgery without further testing.
Nonetheless, Correll and colleagues found that age older than 65 years is an independent predictor of preoperative ECG abnormalities. In general, a preoperative ECG should be considered in ambulatory patients in whom there is a reasonably high likelihood of cardiac dysfunction and the results of the ECG would have the potential to influence perioperative management. Clearly, the patient's history, including a thorough exploration of activity level and exercise tolerance, the physical examination, and the proposed surgical procedure are vital elements in the assessment of whether an ECG is indicated.

B.7. Would a patient's age or physical status influence the decision to perform outpatient surgery?
Even patients at the extremes of age (e.g., younger than 6 months and older than 80 years) have been managed successfully at ambulatory centers throughout the country. With the exception of the former preterm infant and newborns in the first few weeks of life, age alone should not be considered a deterrent in the selection of patients for outpatient surgery. Premature infants (gestational age at birth <37 weeks) who undergo general anesthesia during the first months of life are at increased risk for postoperative apnea for up to 12 hours. This risk is greatest for infants younger than 46 weeks postconceptional age, but some investigators have reported apnea in infants as old as 60 weeks postconceptional age. Unfortunately, the postconceptional age at which the former premature infant no longer represents an increased risk for postoperative apnea and, therefore, would be considered an acceptable candidate for an ambulatory surgical procedure is not absolutely known. Thus, at the present time, it is safest to admit to a hospital or to a 24-hour recovery unit all former premature infants less than 46 weeks postconceptional age so that they can be monitored for apnea. Many anesthesiologists are more conservative and adhere to cut-offs ranging from 52 to 60 weeks postconceptional age. If anemia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or other neonatal problems are present, this period may need to be extended. Likewise, postoperative apneic episodes have been described in otherwise healthy full-term infants who are anesthetized in the first few weeks of life. For this reason, many anesthesiologists are reluctant to proceed with outpatient anesthesia and surgery on a healthy full-term infant of younger than 2 to 4 weeks of age.
For the geriatric patient, recent clinical experience has not demonstrated an age-related effect on the duration of recovery or the incidence of postoperative complications after outpatient surgery. However, in determining the acceptability of a geriatric patient for an ambulatory surgical procedure, one must consider the patient's physiologic age and physical status, the surgical procedure, the anesthetic technique, and the quality of care that will be provided at home. Chronologic age per se is not a determinant of suitability for ambulatory surgery.
No longer is outpatient surgery restricted to patients of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I and II. ASA physical status III and IV patients whose diseases are well controlled preoperatively may be considered acceptable candidates for outpatient surgery.

B.8. What patients would be considered inappropriate for ambulatory surgery?
An individual may be classified as an inappropriate ambulatory surgery patient for the following reasons:
The existence of a condition that places an infant at risk
History of prematurity in an infant less than 46 to 60 weeks postconceptional age
Apneic episodes, feeding difficulty, or failure to thrive
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) that has required intubation and ventilatory support (may take up to a year for symptoms to resolve)
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) with any degree of significant decrease in pulmonary function or requirement for supplemental oxygen
Acute concurrent illness
ASA physical status III or IV with poorly controlled disease
Active cardiac conditions, as defined by ACC/AHA guidelines
Acute substance abuse
Morbid obesity with other serious systemic diseases, such as severe obstructive sleep apnea and ventricular dysfunction
Placement of a bare metal stent within 4 to 6 weeks of the proposed surgery
Placement of a drug-eluting stent less than at least 1 year before the date of proposed surgery
No available adult at home
Refusal to have surgical procedure done as an outpatient
Unwilling to follow instructions
The appropriateness of each patient must be evaluated on an individual basis, taking into account a combination of several factors, such as the patient's circumstances, the nature of the surgical procedure, anesthetic technique, anticipated severity of postoperative pain, and comfort level of the anesthesiologist.

Q: bind data from list to Grid control I am having difficulty getting the data to show in a Telerik Grid control.  I populate a list object GraphDetail in my ViewModel.  Then try to use Model.GraphDetail to bind the data to the grid in the view.  The project compiles and runs without error and the grid does show but it is empty.  If I step through the code I can see that the GraphDetail is being populated with data.
Here is my ViewModel:
namespace AESSmart.ViewModels
{
    public class ACVoltagesTelerikGraph
    {
        public long InverterID { get; set; }
        public string InverterName { get; set; }
        public double? voltage_ac_a { get; set; }
        public double? voltage_ac_b { get; set; }
        public double? voltage_ac_c { get; set; }
        public DateTime recordTime { get; set; }
    }

    public class GraphsACVoltagesViewModel
    {
        public DateTime startingDate { get; set; }
        public DateTime endingDate { get; set; }

        public string HCSeries { get; set; }
        public List<ACVoltagesTelerikGraph> GraphDetail { set; get; }

        public void setLists()
        {
            //Code to populate InverterGoups and Inverters
        }

        public void setSeries()
        {
            //Code to populate GraphDetail and HCSeries
        }
    }
}

My View contains the following code to display the grid:
@model AESSmart.ViewModels.GraphsACVoltagesViewModel

@(Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.GraphDetail)
    .Name("Grid")
    .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Server())
    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.Bound(o => o.InverterID).Title("InverterID").Width(25);
        columns.Bound(o => o.InverterName).Title("InverterName").Width(100);
        columns.Bound(o => o.voltage_ac_a).Title("Phase 1 Volts").Width(75);
        columns.Bound(o => o.voltage_ac_b).Title("Phase 2 Volts").Width(75);
        columns.Bound(o => o.voltage_ac_c).Title("Phase 3 Volts").Width(75);
        columns.Bound(o => o.recordTime).Title("Record Time").Width(150);
    })
    .Groupable()
    .Sortable()
    .Filterable()
    .Pageable(pager => pager.PageSize(3))
)

Here is a screenshot of the result:

As you can see from the screenshot the grid is empty.  So, how do I properly bind the GraphDetail list I have in my ViewModel to the grid?

A: I actually encountered a very similar problem.  I could not get the graph to populate based on a list.  In order to fix it I had to change the list to a collection.  Try to use the following code for your scenario:
public virtual ICollection<ACVoltagesTelerikGraph> GraphDetail { set; get; }

Also, it looks like you are building the data as part of a larger class in the ViewModel.  So, your controller is not going to be exclusively handling the creation of the model the grid is using.  So, 'server binding' probably won't work for you.  Not to mention, it looks like you are just trying to show the data to the user and not needing them to modify it at all.  So I would databind on the client side like so:
@(Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.GraphDetail)
    .Name("Grid")
    .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding
        .Ajax()
        .OperationMode(GridOperationMode.Client)
    )

A: try changing this:
@(Html.Telerik().Grid(Model.GraphDetail)
.DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Server())
to this:
@(Html.Telerik().Grid<ACVoltagesTelerikGraph>()
.DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding.Ajax().Select("ActionName", "ControllerName"))

Enthuse and the AJ Bell Great Run Series FAQs
About the partnership, market positioning, registration and support, fees and payments, fundraising, reports, and insight
Who is Enthuse?
Founded in 2012, Enthuse is a fundraising, donations and events registration technology provider that has helped thousands of charities raise millions of pounds.
Charities can customise Enthuse's solution under their own brand, and be in control of their own data. This allows charities to build and nurture a loyal supporter base, raise more funds and ultimately have more impact.
Why has Enthuse been selected?
Enthuse has been appointed as the official online fundraising platform for AJ Bell Great Run's national series of events.
AJ Bell Great Run was looking for a fundraising partner that would provide the best possible service for charities, participants and their donors. Enthuse offers an innovative fundraising platform and a transparent charging model that puts the charity's brand first and helps them maximise their fundraising.
AJ Bell Great Run thinks the Enthuse partnership will allow charities and participants to take their fundraising to the next level, as Enthuse is transforming digital fundraising for charities.
What are the benefits of using Enthuse?
Fundraising pages can be fully branded with the logo and colours of the charity that the participant has chosen to support.
Enthuse also puts the charity in control of its communications and data. The partnership means charities will have full access to real-time fundraising and donations data and insights and analytics for their supporters participating in any of AJ Bell Great Run's national series of events.
For participants, fundraising page creation will be integrated with the event registration process, making it easy to set up fundraising pages and start raising money right away.
Is Enthuse experienced in fundraising for mass challenge events?
Enthuse is proud to have powered thousands of events for thousands of good causes since 2012. Enthuse has also processed more than 3.5 million registrations for over 20,000 events and helped raise millions for charity. Enthuse is also the official fundraising partner for London Marathon Events.
Is it mandatory to use Enthuse for all AJ Bell Great Run events?
Fundraisers can choose to fundraise with alternative fundraising platforms if they wish, and it is not mandatory to use the official online fundraising partner.
Enthuse is the official online fundraising partner for each of AJ Bell Great Run's events. Fundraising page creation will be integrated with the event registration process, making it easy for participants to set up fundraising pages and start raising money for your cause right away.
Ballot entrants for AJ Bell Great Run events can choose any charity from the Enthuse charity database to fundraise for. This means charities that register with Enthuse will benefit from additional funds from participants who want to raise money for good causes, but who don't have a charity place.
If a charity wishes to be removed from the Enthuse database they can be, but they could lose out on general and ballot entry participants across all of AJ Bell Great Run's events and would have no online presence on any of the official fundraising platforms powered by Enthuse.
How does Enthuse differ from other fundraising platforms?
Enthuse is a B2B platform, which means we put charities first – quite literally with an individual charity's brand and logo at the forefront of official AJ Bell Great Run fundraising pages. We believe this is a better experience for supporters than offered by consumer platforms and means the fundraising pages that participants share with family, friends and peers create a network brand awareness effect for each charity.
Enthuse also puts charities in control of their own data and marketing communications, and never emails supporters with details of competing fundraising campaigns. It also commits to never resell a charity's data.
How can we convince our fundraisers to use Enthuse instead of setting up on other fundraising platforms?
It's a process that's been proven to maximise fundraising, where 99 per cent of participants go on to use the fundraising page they've been provided with. This makes the process faster and less onerous for participants.
In addition to this, Enthuse makes a wealth of additional features available to users. They can share updates, photos and videos with their supporters or even live-stream on their fundraising page.
Do charities have to register with Enthuse if they haven't partnered with them before?
Charities that haven't partnered with us before need to complete the onboarding process in order to receive funds raised for their causes, as well as benefit from branded fundraising pages and real-time data. There is no subscription charge for the platform for charities that hold places in AJ Bell Great Run events.
The Enthuse registration process is very simple and can be completed by filling out the form below. The Enthuse team is always happy to help with onboarding.
What's the registration process for charities that have partnered with Enthuse in the past?
Charities that have worked with us before will be able to access funds raised by participants. Please do get in touch with our team if you want a refresher on the platform or have lost access to your Enthuse account.
What's the registration process for charities that work with Enthuse now?
Charities that currently use our platform will be able to access funds raised by participants and view data related to AJ Bell Great Run events within your existing Enthuse account. Please do get in touch with our team if you have any questions.
Who do charities contact if they need support with Enthuse's fundraising pages?
Please use the chat function on Enthuse.com to talk to someone in real-time or email support@enthuse.com
Can fundraisers contact Enthuse directly or will they contact the charity for support?
If fundraisers have a technical issue with their fundraising page then the charity of the fundraiser can visit Enthuse.com and use the chat function to talk to someone in real-time or email support@enthuse.com
Who will communicate with supporters and when in the process can they expect communication?
The charity owns the relationship with supporters and donors based on its customisable marketing opt-in statement. Enthuse is a B2B brand that puts charities first, so it never emails supporters with details of competing fundraising campaigns. Enthuse may send system/transactional emails such as donation receipts.
Will my charity need to provide specific branding for pages set-up?
Enthuse will configure the branding initially based on the charity's website and details will be shared in due course on how charities can request amends.
My charity has an arrangement with another online giving provider and therefore doesn't want to be registered with Enthuse?
It is the choice of the charity if they wish to be registered to receive funds from the official fundraising platform powered by Enthuse. It is not a requirement, however the charity could lose out on general and ballot entry participants across all of AJ Bell Great Run's events and would have no online presence on any of the official fundraising platforms powered by Enthuse.
The Enthuse support team will be able to help if a charity wishes to be removed from the platform. Please contact onboarding@enthuse.com
Will my charity be featured on the Enthuse platform for the upcoming AJ Bell Great North Run ballot announcement?
All AJ Bell Great Run partner charities will be featured on the official fundraising platform later this month, alongside all other charities registered with Enthuse before February 25th 2022.
Is there a subscription fee for using Enthuse for AJ Bell Great Run fundraising?
No, there is no subscription fee.
Does Enthuse use tipping or donor cover fee?
AJ Bell Great Run and Enthuse are using tipping as default.
For each £50 donated, how much will our charity receive?
For every £50 donated with Gift Aid, you will receive £60.73, i.e., 121.5% of the donated amount.
For every £50 donated without Gift Aid, the charity will receive £48.85 (97.7% of the donation).
How long will it take for the donations to reach the charity after the fundraising event?
Payments are made on a monthly basis on the 20th of the month (or the nearest working day).
Will Gift Aid be an option during fundraising?
Yes, supporters can register for Gift Aid when they donate.
Can participants fundraise for multiple charities with Enthuse?
Participants can fundraise for one charity per fundraising page.
What do we tell our fundraisers who are looking to set up a fundraising page?
That they can very simply do this on the AJ Bell Great Run site by using Enthuse, the official AJ Bell Great Run online fundraising platform. From Feb 25th 2022, charity place participants will also be automatically offered a fundraising page when they register for the event via one of GRC's event registration platforms.
How can fundraisers use Enthuse fundraising pages to raise more for charities?
Fundraisers can take some simple steps, many of which are prompted by email reminders on the Enthuse fundraising wizard.
Upload a profile picture to raise 10 times more
Set a fundraising target and make a donation to the page to get the fundraising started
Customise the story section to explain why you are taking part and raising money for the cause
Share the page on social media, email and Whatsapp and ask others to do the same
Upload photos, videos and live stream to encourage interaction
Enthuse puts the charity's brand first, meaning more donors will remember the cause and go on to donate in the future. You don't have to lift a finger; Enthuse does this for you
What do I do if the fundraiser can't find my charity?
There will be the option for the fundraiser to ask Enthuse to add a charity to its database within the registration process. This request will go to the Enthuse team who will contact the charity in order to have them added for the fundraiser.
What happens with funds raised if the event is cancelled?
The fundraising total will roll over until the next scheduled/postponed event.
My fundraisers have started fundraising before they are registered with the AJ Bell Great Run. How can I direct them to set up a fundraising page on Enthuse before they complete their registration on the official entry console?
Charities will be given a direct link to their profile page on each official event fundraising platform, which will have a call to action where supporters can set up a fundraising page. We should be able to share the latter very soon.
From Feb 25th 2022, charity place participants will also be automatically offered a fundraising page when they register for the event via one of AJ Bell Great Run's event registration platforms.
Reports and insight
What types of reports are available?

Sometimes God's people can be so discouraging! In Psalm 4 we find David listening to people saying, "Who will show us any good?" (v. 6). David's own men were discouraged. They were going through a trial, and some were saying, "O David, this is the end. God is no longer going to help us." That's hard to take. It's rough when your associates or friends say to you, "Well, you've reached the end. Who will show us any good?"
But David called on the Lord, and God enlarged him. "You have relieved (enlarged) me when I was in distress" (v. 1). Pressure on the outside should make us bigger on the inside. The trials of life will press against us and make us either midgets or giants--either smaller or bigger. But we have to start on the inside. "You have relieved me when I was in distress." How did this happen?
David cried out to God, "You have put gladness in my heart" (v. 7). He started out with sadness and ended with gladness. He started with tears and ended with triumph. Once again he's sleeping beautifully. "I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety" (v. 8).
David discovered that what was important was not the circumstance around him but the attitude within him. Let God enlarge you when you are going through distress. He can do it. You can't do it, and others can't do it for you. In fact, others may want to make things even tighter and narrower for you. But when you turn to the Lord and trust Him, He will enlarge you on the inside. You'll come out of your distresses a bigger person because you've trusted in the Lord.
There is a relationship between our attitude inside and our circumstances outside. If we maintain the proper attitude, God will use our trials to enlarge us. Are you going through a trial today? Give your circumstances to the Lord and trust Him to enlarge you.

Icon music review: Gimme Some Truth (Box Set)- John Lennon
Reviewed by Craig Hoffman
Gimme Some Truth is a box set containing four themed discs of remastered John Lennon songs.
The box set was released along with John Lennon Signature Box Set and Power to the People: The Hits compilation to celebrate what would have been the artist's 80th birthday.
John Lennon was killed at the age of 40 on Dec. 8, 1980. Lennon has been posthumously honored with many awards. These include a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award and two special BRIT Awards for Outstanding Contribution to Music. He has been inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Rolling Stone ranked him in the Top 5 of the magazine's "100 Greatest Singers Of All Time" list in 2008.
Gimme Some Truth showcases nearly all the studio recordings released by John Lennon. Only seven tracks included on the original release of John Lennon solo albums are not on this collection. The songs have been remastered and enhanced. That is one of the key features and likely selling points of this new release.
Yoko Ono supervised John Lennon's "Gimme Some Truth" campaign. The worldwide release of eight remastered studio albums and other newly-compiled titles occurred on Oct. 4, 2020. It was a passion project for her.
"John was a brilliant man with a great sense of humor and understanding," Yoko Ono Lennon wrote in the Deluxe Edition's book. "He believed in being truthful and that the power of the people will change the world. And it will. All of us have the responsibility to visualize a better world for ourselves and our children. The truth is what we create. It's in our hands."
The CDs come in a deluxe box with a limited edition John Lennon art print and a hardbound book featuring rare photos and artwork, among the fantastic goodies included inside the set.
This is great for fans who already own the vinyls. The new album is a significant upgrade in sound clarity and quality from the original recordings. The collection clearly shows Lennon's pursuit of perfection.
"I think my greatest pleasure is writing a song-words and lyrics-that will last longer than a couple of years. Songs that anybody could sing. Songs that will outlive me, probably. And that gives me my greatest pleasure. That's where I get my kicks."- John Lennon (from the liner notes of the Gimme Some Truth collection)
The album also features great tunes from Lennon's efforts outside his time with the Beatles, including the "Plastic Ono Band," among others. "The Plastic Ono Band" was a rock band formed by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1969 for their collaborative and solo projects.
The group produced five studio albums including Feeling The Space in 1973 That album and its feminist themes, focusing on issues affecting women in the 1970s, still resonates even in 2020.
Final Take: Gimme Some Truth offers an upgrade in aural experience for John Lennon fans. The only negative is that it's not even longer than its two hour and 17 minute run time. Absolutely awesome! 5/5.

It's time to rid Iran's millennium-old brick tower of weeds
Wednesday, 04 September 2019 15:47	Mehr News Agency
Gardeners always keep an eye on weeds as they are competing with plants and lawn grass for water and nutrients, and making the garden less attractive. They are also springing up on the facades of buildings.
For years Iran's UNESCO-registered Gonbad-e Qabus millennium-old brick tower is suffering from such a common phenomenon though it has been treated time to time.
The tower is of high architectural importance as an exemplar and innovative design of the early-Islamic-era architecture. The UNESCO comments that it bears testimony to the cultural exchange between Central Asian nomads and the ancient civilization of Iran.
Director of the World Heritage site told IRNA in an interview released on Monday that "Growing plants on the Qabus tower is not a new issue, and is witnessed in all brick buildings across the country, especially in northern provinces, due to their climatic conditions.
The tower has also been facing such phenomenon for more than a thousand years, though the issue has been intensified by [heavy] rainfalls earlier this year," Abdolmajid Nourtaqani said.
The tower was already planned to be sprayed by agricultural drones to get rid of weeds and prevent them from growing, however, it was discarded after local authorities realized that such an approach inflicts serious damage to the mortar and body of the monument.
Now it's time to rid the brick tower of weeds for a long run at least for five to six years.
Financing has been done for installation of the scaffolding, Nourtaqani said, adding the weeds are planned to be removed in two different seasons to make sure they won't appear at least for five to six years.
The official also mentioned that a restoration work will be followed, in which, cracks, nooks, and crannies of the outer bricks will be plastered.
Iran witnessed weeks of extreme rainfall, starting on March 19. It caused flooding in 28 out of 31 provinces affecting 42,269,129 inhabitants in 253 cities nationwide.
The UNESCO also credits Gonbad-e Qabus as "an outstanding and technologically innovative example of Islamic architecture that influenced sacral building in Iran, Anatolia and Central Asia.
The long-lasting structure capped by an eye-catching conical roof boasts intricate geometric principles and patterns which embellishes parts of its load-bearing brickwork.
Narratives say the tower has influenced various subsequent designers of tomb towers and other cylindrical commemorative structures both in the region and beyond.
Two encircling inscriptions in Kufic calligraphy date the tower to 1006-7 CE while commemorate Qabus Ibn Voshmgir, Ziyarid ruler and literati (reigned 978–1012).
July 1 is considered a significant cultural event for Iranians to hold the anniversary of Gonbad-e Qabus UNESCO registration, and the annual celebration is organized by Gonbad Kavus municipality.
This year, people in Golestan province celebrated the 7th registration anniversary of Gonbad-e Qabus on UNESCO World Heritage list.
It is inevitable that open-air stone or brick works are facing physical decline over time, some of which impossible to eradicate. For instance, UNESCO-tagged Persepolis is suffering from increasing lichens for years.
Such issues should be well addressed by related officials and experts to meet their responsibility toward future generations.
Mount Damavand is the highest peak in Iran and the highest volcano in Asia.
Things to Know Before Trip
One of the most important things to remember is that Iranians aren't Arabs, they're Persian. They speak Farsi (and other dialects), not Arabic, and some people might feel offended if you great them with Arabic words.

Just an additional comment for my previous review now that I've worn for 8 hours.... these left crazy marks on my legs where all the texture is on the leggings! I def should have gone with a size large which is significantly bigger than what I normally wear (size 6). Just an FYI!
Ok total spanx convert here. These are glorious...I was totally skeptical as didn't want to wrestle to get tights on or feel too "compressed" post csection but these leggings are amazing! So the outside looks like faux leather but the lining of these leggings is like a breathable spandex. They were not difficult to put on (taking off required a bit more effort).The waist is a mid rise, holds all the bits in and gives the bum a flattering look! These are so on trend and look amazing with almost anything! Sizing reference: 5'9, 130# medium. Could also have gone with large as they appear super tiny when I hold them out front yet somehow they work!
I know, I own the store- But I LOVE these so much!
Ladies, I know I own Ella Bella so this is kind of cheating. But I cannot tell you how much I love these! I honestly bought a second pair so I could wear them while I was washing the others.
Why are they amazing: Well, they hug you in all the right places! I have tried so many faux leather leggings. They are either too loose in the waist and fall down, or too tight in the thigh. These are perfection! They are comfy enough to wear from morning to night, but also dressy enough you can wear them to any meeting!
Breathable? You bet! I've enjoyed a few patio days with little to no sweat!
Bonus: They have a control top!
