Ten North Louisiana middle and high school students participated in LA-SiGMA's STEM Student Experience at LA Tech July 8-12, 2013. The students had fun learning about energy in science, touring research labs, and getting to know other students interested in STEM fields. RET teachers did a fantastic job helping us to plan and lead all the activities. Thanks to everyone involved, and we hope to see you again in the world of science!


The curriculum offer is currently being updated in the light of recent curriculum changes which have taken place in KS3, KS4 and KS5 in all subjects.
The true purpose of learning a language is to be able to use it in a variety of contexts, and during Year 7 our pupils follow a varied course that challenges them, whether they have studied French before or not. Our pupils will use a wide variety of spoken and written language to develop their skills in the four main areas which include Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing, whilst also beginning to appreciate the cultural diversity between the UK and different French-speaking nations. By the end of Year 7 it is envisaged that our pupils will be able to understand listening passages made up of simple sentences. They will be expected to be able to pick out and note main points and some details as well as transcribe words with understandable spelling. It is expected that our pupils will be able to take part in simple, structured conversations which include some opinions, using mainly memorised language. They will be able to substitute items of vocabulary to vary the questions or the answers, speaking with a generally accurate pronunciation. They will be expected to use a good range of classroom language to interact in class. They will be able to understand the main points and some details from texts or dialogues taken from a few topics and understand the gist of a variety of stories or poems. Short sentences might be translated from the foreign language into English with limited accuracy. We expect our pupils in Year 7 to be able to write paragraphs from memory made up of short sentences using taught language on a few topics. Some inaccuracy will be expected in their spelling. Similarly, we will expect our pupils to translate phrases or short sentences into the foreign language with some inaccuracy.
In Year 8 our pupils will use a wide variety of spoken and written language to further develop their skills in the four main areas which include Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing, whilst also continuing to appreciate the cultural diversity between the UK and the target language country. By the end of Year 8 it is envisaged that our pupils will be able to understand main points and some details including opinions in longer listening passages which contain words they know taken from several topics and verbs in at least two different tenses. It is expected that they will be able to transcribe word and short sentences with generally accurate spelling. The expectations also are that they will be able to take part in short conversations, asking for and giving and opinions, using pronunciation which is generally consistent and accurate. They will be able to understand the main points and specific details from texts as well as understand the gist of more complex stories or poems. They will be able to translate short sentences from the foreign language into English with some accuracy. We expect our pupils in Year 8 to be able to write short paragraphs using memorised vocabulary, writing simple sentences which ask for and give information and opinions using at least two tenses, with spelling which is more accurate than inaccurate. Finally, our pupils will be able to translate simple sentences into the foreign language with some accuracy.
In Year 9 French, our pupils will follow Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 4 transition modules of work. The course builds upon the schemes and strategies implemented in Years 7 and 8, using the skills of Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing to widen our pupils' vocabulary range and increase their knowledge of grammatical constructions in preparation for GCSE. By the end of Year 9, it is envisaged that our pupils will be effectively equipped for the GCSE course through taking more responsibility for improving their own learning and performance. By the end of Year 9 it is envisaged that our pupils will be able to understand short narratives and longer extracts which cover various tenses and complex structures. They will be able to pick out main points and specific details including points of view with language spoken at normal speed. Some of our pupils will be able to infer as attitudes and emotions from the context or tone of voice of the speaker are recognised and understood. Pupils will be expected to transcribe language with increasing accuracy. The expectations also are that they will be able to take part in multi-exchange conversations, changing or adapting the language using a variety of tenses and pronouncing the language consistently well. They will be able to understand a variety of texts. They will be expected to use clues more confidently and apply their knowledge of grammar to work out the meaning of unfamiliar language. They will be able to translate generally accurately more complex sentences from the foreign language into English. We expect our pupils in Year 9 to be able to write longer paragraphs from memory which include some complex structures and extended sentences with a range of tenses, time markers, connectives and intensifiers. They will be able to express opinions, giving reasons and justifications, and ask questions with almost always accurate spelling. Finally, we expect our pupils to be able to translate longer sentences or short paragraphs into the foreign language largely accurately.


Summer is a time when the sun comes out, and more skin is revealed. As summertime reveals your silhouette more in tighter clothes and legs in shorter shorts, it's time to make sure that you've got your beauty basics covered.
It's important to feel your best during bikini season, so make sure that your beauty arsenal is full of the essential things you'll need to feel fabulous. Here are some of the most important things that you should have on your summer beauty checklist.
Since the sun is out during summer, you want to make sure that you've got your armor on. Although the sun has numerous benefits for our health, it's best in small doses. The sun will age you quickly, so it's crucial to ensure that you create a barrier to avoid its harmful rays.
Try to opt for a sunscreen which is non-oily and waterproof. That way you can comfortably go about your day without worrying about breakouts or having to reapply frequently.
Rather than shaving every day which can lead to unsightly bumps and rashes, you should opt for the alternative. Shaving is abrasive on your skin and encourages the hair to grow faster.
Although waxing may be a little more invasive and often painful, it's much more effective at inhibiting hair growth and ingrown hairs.
The more often that you wax, the less that you'll have to do it. You can do it yourself by purchasing a wax kit, or you can go to a professional who can wax you to your liking. Just make sure to follow proper care following your wax to avoid breaking out in a rash.
Experts recommend using an exfoliant and applying an antibacterial soap after the first 24 hours.
Depending on where you live, certain parts of the world can be hotter than others. If you live somewhere which is particularly humid and hot, chances are that you're sweating for most of the day.
You may want to consider permanent makeup such as eyelash extensions or microblading eyebrows. This will ensure that your features still pop, giving you a glamorous glow without having to pile on products which will sweat off.
Despite how much sunscreen you have on, the sun can still do damage if you're exposed for long periods of time. If you're at the beach often during the summer, make sure that you have a big hat which provides plenty of shade.
Your skin will thank you for it over time!
When you're wearing sandals or walking around barefoot all the time during the summer months, you want to make sure that your feet are in excellent condition! Do yourself a favor and get a pedicure with your favorite color. You'll feel much more confident poolside!

CRIME PREVENTION AND CHANGE
I HAVE A DREAM – campaign
To what extend do we dream of a future that is different, better or safer?
In August 1963 – 57 years ago – a young Martin Luther King Jr. led. the march to Washington where he gave his famous I have a dream speech at the Lincoln Memorial, a speech considered to be among the best and most powerful of all time. It was a special time; a lot was at stake for the civil rights movement and the United States as a nation. In his message, Martin Luther King Jr. expressed that the time had come for freedom, justice, and the promises of democracy to be fulfilled.
We are in a time of great upheaval in the world. Climate change, a global health pandemic, armaments, political polarization and racism are some of the challenges we must address as a society and as an individual. The year 2020 has shown us how interconnected our lives on our planet are. At the same time, we see a growing commitment to justice, peace and the environment through climate marches and anti-racism marches, lifestyle changes and increased awareness among young and old, civil society and business that offers hope. The desire and will to create something better are strong amongst many of us.
The I have a dream campaign challenges us to dream. What does my life look like if I can choose freely? What is different? What does the world look like if I get to decide?
The aim of the campaign is to explore what Norwegians dream about during this extraordinary year, and at the start of a new decade. With the I have a dream campaign, the King Institute especially wants to start a conversation with young people around Norway and capture their vision of what their lives, everyday life and the world should look like.
The campaign is running on a separate website where you can upload a picture of yourself and write down your dream in a given format. The campaign is also ongoing on social media platforms where everyone who participates can share their dream and encourage others in their network to participate and dream.
As well as collecting dreams at a dedicated digital platform for the campaign, it is also part of a research and educational project.
The campaign launches at the end of November!
Go to the campaign website and express your dream – opening soon!

www.tidesofblood.com • View topic - Hard Drive crash?
1. Computer was idling with nothing running (not even msn) for a couple hours, walked into the room to find it had blue screened.
2. Restarted computer, windows wouldn't start, instead I got some Hard Drive configuration error message.
3. Shut off computer completely including hard switch in back. Turned it back on and got a new error message that System32/Hal.dll was missing or corrupt.
4. Tried putting in windows cd to repair, it wouldn't completely boot into the cd for some reason.
5. Now this is where it gets interesting. I put in a Western Digital hard drive testing program (I've used this before) and it didn't even see my main hard drive. It saw my second one, but my windows hard drive wasn't even on the list.
6. I opened up my case, disconnected the hard drive, replugged it back in and then everything was ok. I didn't even need to repair windows or anything.
So my question is....wtf? Does anyone have any ideas as to what happened and if I should be concerned? Thanks.
Did it come with a diagnostics cd for the hard drive? If you have one you could try running that.
TBH I wouldn't worry about it until unless it happens again.

That's what this program is. I ran it again after it started working and it had no errors.
Yeah, I'm not going to worry about it too much, I was just wondering if someone had an idea of wtf happened and how physically unplugging the hd from the computer and plugging it back in would fix it.

Still from Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville
Alphaville released
A leading light in the La Nouvelle Vague (The New Wave) of French cinema, director Jean-Luc Godard tackles science fiction in his gritty detective story Alphaville. Set in a technocratic dystopia, Alphaville featured secret agent Lemmy Caution (played by Eddie Constantine) as he investigates the situation surrounding Professor von Braun, creator of the Alpha 60 computer. This computer, which has gained sentience, controls Alphaville, and Caution must battle it using his two most dangerous weapons – his handgun and poetry! Alphaville served as an inspiration for the formation of the Cyberpunk genre.
Ed Feigenbaum
DENDRAL artificial intelligence program
A Stanford team led by professors Ed Feigenbaum, Joshua Lederberg and Carl Djerassi creates DENDRAL, the first "expert system." DENDRAL was an artificial intelligence program designed to apply the accumulated expertise of specialists to problem solving. Its area of specialization was chemistry and physics. It applied a battery of "if-then" rules to identify the molecular structure of organic compounds, in some cases more accurately than experts.

Tractor-trailer runs into TDOT truck, injures 2 workers
By Kinnard, Clayton & Beveridge
A tractor-trailer ran into a Tennessee Department of Transportation maintenance truck on Sept. 4, sending two crewmembers to the hospital with injuries. The wreck happened on Interstate 24 near Manchester around 1:45 p.m. when traffic in the area was already congested due to an earlier accident in addition to the grass farther down the road being mowed.
A pair of TDOT employees observed the traffic backing up and went to their truck to turn on a flashing "move over" sign. A 63-year-old man who had been driving a tractor-trailer down the interstate apparently failed to merge to the left in time and ran into the back of the work truck. The impact sent the TDOT truck across the emergency lane and into a rock wall. Following the collision, the tractor-trailer jackknifed and also crashed into the rock wall.
The workers' trucking accident injuries required treatment at a hospital. They were flown to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and one worker was soon released and the other listed in stable condition. The driver of the truck was also injured, though he refused medical treatment. The westbound lanes of interstate had to be closed for approximately four hours while the scene of the accident was investigated and cleared.
People who have been injured in an accident caused by someone else's disregard of road or hazard signs have the right to seek compensation from the insurance provider of the at-fault driver. This compensation can include lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering. An attorney could help to file a personal injury lawsuit against any responsible parties, such as a commercial driver's employer if the employer did not require that the driver sleep an appropriate number of hours.

Summer music festivals are as varied as their wide-ranging locations. Some are exclusively vehicles for well-known artists to present concerts in idyllic settings that would normally not attract such performers during the "regular" season. Others may serve as extended master classes where young musicians, individually and en masse, firm up their technique and musical interpretations. The best of both worlds is where a group of select young musicians have the opportunity to learn, play in public, and hear and see their mentors and teachers perform – a way to observe "the way it oughta be." The Eastern Music Festival (EMF) – along with other notable festivals like Aspen and Interlochen – takes this integrated approach. The results are quite eye and ear-opening for both the musicians in the festival and the public.
Just a few days ago I wrote a review of a remarkable performance of Mahler's Sixth Symphony by the 100% student Festival Orchestra. Two days later, on July 9, at Guilford College, I attended a performance by the "grownup" band – The Eastern Philharmonic Orchestra. This is an elite group of professional musicians, many of whom are regular season members of such familiar groups as the NC Symphony, the Greensboro Symphony, and Winston-Salem Symphony, plus orchestras all over the United States and abroad. Almost all are faculty members at the EMF. Without diminishing by any means the Mahler performance by the student orchestra just two days before, you could immediately hear that this was a professional orchestra, for there is a certain sound that separates the men/women from the boys/girls.
Leading this talented group was guest conductor George Manahan, Music Director of the New York City Opera. He is a fireball who chose to conduct without a net (no railings or warning barriers to prevent stepping back off the podium), and we collectively held our breath when he got quite close to the edge. The program was a wonderful mix of German, American, and Russian cultures, and the orchestra was equally at home in each.
The "Academic Festival" Overture by Johannes Brahms belongs to the somewhat disparaging category "warhorses," implying an overplayed, too-familiar work. Good musicians are able to take overdone and even pedestrian works and bring a sense of discovery and freshness. There is a lot going on in this overture, which Brahms wrote when he was presented an honorary doctorate. Instead of a sober, high-minded, scholarly composition, he flashed a bawdy, common collection of folk tunes and drinking songs, sort of like showing Animal House at a coronation.... This was played with frivolity reflecting the tunes on which it is based, and it was a wonderful curtain raiser.
We moved from German student songs to a work strongly based on what is often called "America's only indigenous music" – jazz. As the complex, syncopated rhythms and extended harmonies of jazz rippled out to the rest of the world in the early 20th-century, many composers tried to incorporate these elements into their compositions. Masters like Stravinsky, Ravel, Milhaud, and others were quite successful using at least some jazz-like influences in their music, although others were as anachronistic as a string quartet in a marching band. Aaron Copland grew up with this new music, and his Clarinet Concerto is a shining example of jazz influences seamlessly melded into a "classical" composition. To add another level to this particular performance, the soloist was not a clarinetist but Branford Marsalis, playing a soprano saxophone. Written in the late '40s and first performed in 1950 by Benny Goodman, this is a brilliant example of Copland's distinctive style. The slow first movement is an evocative, wistful journey reminiscent of the composer's works like "Quiet City," "Music for the Movies," and parts of his opera The Tender Land. Long, slow, arching lines give the soloist a chance to display his phrasing and tone before launching into a cadenza and the fireworks of the last movement, simply titled "rather fast." Sharp, biting rhythms are the name of the game in this movement. The soloist employs sudden leaps in and out of the various registers of his instrument, and Marsalis tossed them off with ease. There is a subtle distinction between an ensemble playing in "correct" rhythm and one that actually swings and pulses as one unit. This group played with razor-edge accuracy and with a swagger and ease that only come with experience and having this music in your soul. This Concerto is a strictly wood-and-string affair with only strings, piano, and harp backing up the soloist. For this reason, I missed the more "woody" sound of the clarinet and its distinctive and changing registers. The soprano sax was a bit too metallic for my liking, but Marsalis was masterful in conveying, first, the serenity of the opening movement and then the frenetic, big-city bustle of the highly charged final movement.
Written near the end of his life, "Symphonic Dances" by Rachmaninov is a tour de force of orchestration comparable to Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra. Marsalis sat in with the orchestra, playing alto saxophone for a very lovely solo in the middle movement. This work is filled with themes from the Russian Orthodox Church and includes one of Rachmaninov's favorite and often used themes – the "Dies Irae." Many soloists and sections take their turn in virtuosic passages, and if the previous works didn't convince you, this surely showed that this "pickup" orchestra is at the highest echelon of symphonic performance. Some of the players were "campers" in this same EMF not too long ago, so you can be sure that many of the students at the festival will someday occupy chairs in orchestras as prestigious as this one.

Negin Farsad Quotes
The fundamental truth guiding social justice comedy is that people are not shitty. That sounds cheesy, but that's how I have to approach it. Everybody has the capacity for change.

In general, I think there are some things that require time before you can talk about them. Some stuff that happened over the summer, for instance - the Philando Castile shooting, Alton Sterling, the police officers in Dallas - there was no room for jokes. But there are, of course, the policies that have given us those events. Now, there's a lot of room for jokes there. When you're looking at something difficult to talk about, there's always a sideways way in that feels a little less personal to people. That's where the joke lives.
Summer, Thinking, People
We're always going to be cherry-picking to make religion make sense. Especially in the modern context.
Modern, Make Sense
There's something about political comedy that sometimes closes people off, and my general goal is to open people right up.
People, Goal, Political
I mostly want to highlight things that feel like an injustice, and that's not really political. No one is going to - or should - say that bigotry toward Muslims is partisan. It's a matter of being just or not being just. So that's why I started calling myself a social justice comedian.
Justice, Political, Comedian
I one hundred percent recognize that comedy is a more narcissistic profession and that I cannot directly improve people's lives the way I could if I had stayed in the policy world. But the trade-off is that I'm happier doing jokes.
Narcissistic, World, Comedy
I knew that the black struggle wasn't my struggle. But I felt like it was my-struggle-adjacent, you know? I've always said that if you turn the dial in one direction, a Muslim is a Jew is an East Asian person is a Native American and so on. I feel very much that all of these struggles are kind of the same and - Hillary Clinton actually said this recently - when you get rid of one barrier, it opens up the gates for a whole bunch of people you didn't even know would benefit from it. So not fighting for the black struggle is like not fighting for the Muslim struggle.
Struggle, Native American, Fighting
We twist ourselves into knots convincing people that Islam is peaceful and varied before we realize that, wait a second, you can be a Muslim while also recognizing that Islam doesn't even explain half of your behaviors!

Thanks to the Internet, I think, a lot of hate has moved to more anonymous venues. A lot of people get their aggression out that way. Or they do some drive-by hating—you know, where they're in a car and they yell something stupid out the window at a stoplight and then take off. It's just not as involved and laborious to be a hater as it used to be. There's not as much face-to-face interaction. Facebook's made 'em lazy.
Hate, Stupid, Thinking
The biggest challenge in making movies, boring but true answer is money - you never have enough, so everything gets bootstrapped to death! I learned not only how to be better filmmakers because of it but better janitors, better drivers and better negotiators with cops who wanted to shut me down. You have to get creative.
Creative, Challenges, Boring

Should you require further information always consult your health professional.
The area of the body that contains the pancreas, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder and other organs.
Australian Chronic Disease Prevention Alliance.
A sudden drop in kidney function that is often short-lived and can require dialysis. For those with previously healthy kidneys it seldom means staying on dialysis. Also known as acute kidney (renal) disease.
Aboriginal Health and Medical Research Council.
A protein in your blood plasma. In the blood, albumin acts as a carrier and helps to maintain blood volume and blood pressure. (See Protein).
Occurs when albumin is present in the urine. There are filters in the kidneys that prevent large molecules, such as albumin, from passing through. If these filters are damaged, albumin passes from the blood into the urine. (See Microalbuminuria, Macroalbuminuria, Proteinuria).
Occurs when there is only a small number of red blood cells in the blood or the blood cells are not working properly. Red blood cells carry oxygen, so someone with anaemia can feel weak, tired and short of breath.
These are made by the immune system, your body's protection mechanism, to attack tissue that is not normally part of the body, for example bacteria or toxins.
Australian and New Zealand Society of Nephrology.
Produced when a vein and an artery in the arm or leg are joined together in an operation to make it easier to move blood in and out of the body during haemodialysis. Sometimes simply called a fistula.
A large blood vessel that takes blood from the heart to other parts of the body.
A rare, life-threatening, genetic condition that progressively damages the vital organs. aHUS is caused by chronic, uncontrolled activation of a part of the body's natural immune system. This leads to blood clot formation in small blood vessels throughout the body. These blood clots can lead to stroke, heart attack and end stage kidney disease. aHUS affects both adults and children.
A type of dialysis where a special fluid is moved in and out of the body continuously by a machine, usually overnight. Also called continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD).
A muscular, elastic sac or membrane inside the body that stores the urine.
Blood groups are classified by the ABO system (A, B, AB and O). In any of the four ABO groups, a person can be Rh positive or Rh negative, meaning that a person's blood can be classified as one of eight possible types (O+, O-, A+, A -, B+, B-, AB+, AB-). Classifying blood type is important for working out compatibility for blood transfusions and organ transplantation.
The tubes that take blood around the body.
Using the same fistula needle site each time for dialysis. (See Fistula).
The most common mineral in the body. Calcium is essential for healthy bones and teeth. It is also important for regulating heart function, blood clotting, and muscle functioning, such as contraction and relaxation. Calcium levels are often abnormal in people with kidney disease. Raised calcium levels may cause headaches, nausea, sore eyes, aching teeth, itchy skin, mood changes, and confusion.
Putting in the needles for dialysis.
Includes all diseases and conditions of the heart and blood vessels, such as arteries and veins. The most common diseases and conditions include heart attack, heart failure, stroke, blockages in the blood vessels, and vascular kidney disease.
Caring for Australasians with Renal Impairment (CARI) Guidelines.
A plastic tube that is used to take fluid in or out of the body. (See Central venous catheter).
A special tube that is surgically inserted into your neck, collarbone or top of your leg to allow access for haemodialysis. One channel of the catheter takes blood to the dialysis machine, and the other returns cleaned blood from the dialysis machine. A central venous catheter is usually temporary until a fistula or graft is ready to be used. Also called a vascular access catheter.
A naturally occurring waxy substance made by the body. It is an essential building block of cell membranes, hormones and vitamin D. Too much cholesterol in the blood can cause clogging of the arteries and lead to cardiovascular disease. (See Lipids, Low-density lipoprotein, High-density lipoprotein, Total cholesterol).
A term used widely to describe kidney damage or reduced kidney function (irrespective of the cause) that persists for more than three months. Sometimes chronic kidney disease leads to kidney failure, which requires dialysis or a kidney transplant to keep you alive.
Chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration.
A type of dialysis where a special fluid is put into the peritoneal cavity (in the abdomen) through a soft, plastic tube (catheter) then drained out a few hours later. This is usually done three or four times during the day to clean the blood.
Very similar to CAPD but the fluid is moved in and out of the body continuously by a machine, usually overnight. Also called automated peritoneal dialysis (APD).
Waste that is made by the breakdown of muscles. It is usually removed from the blood by the kidneys and passes out in the urine. When the kidneys aren't working very well the creatinine stays in the blood and the measured level is elevated.
A chronic disease caused by problems with the production and/or action of insulin in the body.
Part of a dialysis machine that acts like a kidney to filter blood and remove waste products and excess fluid.
A treatment for end stage kidney disease that removes waste products and excess fluid from the blood by filtering the blood through a special membrane.

Special fluid that is used during dialysis to help clean the waste and excess fluid from the blood.
A person who gives a body organ, such as a kidney, to another person. For kidneys, the donor can be living or deceased.
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR). GFR is the best measure of kidney function and helps to determine the stage of kidney disease. It shows how well the kidneys are cleaning the blood. GFR is reported in millilitres per minute. The GFR is usually estimated from the results of the creatinine blood test with age and gender. (See Glomerular filtration rate).
The stage of kidney disease when a person's kidneys have stopped working so treatment, such as dialysis or a transplant, is needed to sustain life. Also referred to as end stage kidney (renal) failure (ESKF), or stage 5 chronic kidney disease.

A limit or total amount of fluid to be taken daily, which is usually set by a doctor.
Occurs when your body does not get rid of enough liquid (water). This can cause swollen or puffy ankles, face or hands, or shortness of breath. Also known as oedema.
GFR is the best measure of kidney function and helps to determine the stage of kidney disease. It shows how well the kidneys are cleaning the blood. GFR is reported in millilitres per minute. The GFR is usually worked out (estimated) from the results of the creatinine blood test with age and gender. (See eGFR).
A group of diseases that cause inflammation of the filter units in the kidneys. (See IgA nephritis).
A tiny set of blood vessels in the nephron.
Also known as HbA1C, which occurs when haemoglobin joins with glucose in the blood. The HbA1c test shows what a person's average blood glucose level was for the two to three months before the test. This can help determine how well a person's diabetes is being controlled over time.
Another type of access for haemodialysis that is used if the blood vessels cannot be used for a fistula. During surgery an artery and a vein are joined together by soft tubing.
Occurs when red blood cells leak into the urine. It can turn urine a red or dark cola colour, which is visible to the eye or may only be found by a urine test (microscopic haematuria). Blood in the urine is a common sign of urinary tract infections but can also be the first sign of a problem with the kidneys or the bladder.
A treatment for kidney failure. The patient's blood is pumped through special tubing to a haemodialysis machine. The machine acts like a kidney, filtering waste products from the blood before returning it to the patient. Haemodialysis usually lasts for four to six hours and is done three or more times a week. Haemodialysis can be performed in a hospital or satellite dialysis centre, or at home. It can also be performed at night. (See Home dialysis, Nocturnal dialysis, Satellite centre).
The part of red blood cells that gives them their red colour and transports oxygen around the body.
Stands for glycosylated haemoglobin, which occurs when haemoglobin joins with glucose in the blood. The HbA1c test shows what a person's average blood glucose level was for the two to three months before the test. This can help determine how well a person's diabetes is being controlled over time.
Added to the blood during haemodialysis to stop it from clotting (forming small lumps) and blocking the dialyser.
Home haemodialysis. Also Home HD.
Known as the 'good cholesterol'. The higher the amount of HDL cholesterol, the lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. (See Cholesterol).
When dialysis is performed at home. It can be peritoneal dialysis or haemodialysis. For home haemodialysis, special plumbing is installed in your home and the quality of your water supply is tested. You can choose to dialyse during the day or at night while you sleep. (See Haemodialysis, Nocturnal dialysis, Peritoneal dialysis).
Another word for high blood pressure. High blood pressure can cause chronic kidney disease and chronic kidney disease can cause high blood pressure.
A common type of glomerulonephritis where build up of the IgA antibody damages the kidney filters, allowing protein and blood to leak into the urine. IgA nephritis is a chronic kidney condition that may slowly worsen over ten to twenty years.
Medications that weaken the body's normal immune system. They are taken by transplant recipients to prevent the body rejecting the transplanted kidney.
A chemical or hormone made by the pancreas that controls the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood.
Isolated Patients Travel and Accommodation Assistance Scheme.

Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes.
Reddish, jelly bean-shaped body organs. Most people have two kidneys but people can live with one. The kidneys are in the lower back just under the bottom of the rib cage. A kidney is about the size of your fist. The kidneys are very important because they remove waste and fluid from the body and produce urine. They also help to control blood pressure, produce red blood cells, keep our bones strong, maintain the chemical balance of the blood, change Vitamin D so that the body can use it, and get rid of drugs and poisons.
A diagnostic test where a needle is used to remove a small piece of tissue from a kidney. A biopsy helps to determine the cause of kidney disease.
The stage of kidney disease when a person's kidneys have stopped working so treatment, such as dialysis or a transplant, is needed to sustain life. Also referred to as end stage kidney failure (ESKF) end stage kidney disease (ESKD), or stage 5 chronic kidney disease.
When a healthy kidney is taken from one person and surgically placed into someone with end stage kidney disease. The kidney can come from a living or deceased donor. It is important to remember that a transplant is a treatment not a cure for kidney disease.
A probe is moved over the skin, sending and receiving ultrasound signals, which then make pictures of the kidneys and bladder. This is a diagnostic test, often used to measure the size of the kidneys.

Occurs when albumin, a kind of protein, leaks into the urine in very small or 'micro' amounts. The level can be measured by a special urine test, usually on a single urine sample. The appearance of microalbuminuria may be the first sign of an otherwise silent kidney condition. A microalbuminuria test should be done at least yearly if you have diabetes. (See Albuminuria and Albumin:creatinine ratio).
Occurs when albumin, a kind of protein, leaks into the urine in larger or 'macro' amounts. (See Microalbuminuria).
A doctor who specialises in kidney function.

Parts of the body that help us to stay alive, such as the kidneys, heart, lungs and liver.
They produce parathyroid hormone, or PTH, which helps control calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels within the blood and bone. End stage kidney disease can cause the parathyroid glands to produce too much PTH.
The space in the abdomen (belly) holding the intestines and other organs.
A treatment for end stage kidney disease where dialysis fluid is moved in and out of the peritoneal cavity to remove wastes and excess fluid from the blood. (See Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, Continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis).
A very thin sac or membrane that surrounds the organs on the inside of the abdomen or peritoneal cavity.
A mineral that, together with calcium, keeps your bones strong and healthy. Too much phosphate causes itching and pain in the joints, such as the knees, elbows and ankles. When the kidneys are not functioning properly, high levels of phosphate can accumulate in the blood.
If your phosphate level is too high you may be prescribed medicine called phosphate binders. These combine with phosphate in your intestines so it will pass out of your body with the faeces (poo). It is important to take phosphate binders with your meals and snacks.
Periodic limb movement in sleep.
An essential mineral that helps nerve endings and muscles to work. Potassium is usually removed by healthy kidneys. If your level of potassium is too high or too low, it can cause an irregular heartbeat. Very high potassium levels may cause the heart to stop.
Our Primary Care Education Program delivers education specifically developed for GPs, Primary Care Nurses, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Workers / Practitioners, Pharmacists and other health professionals.
A nutrient that you get from food, which builds, repairs and maintains body tissue. It also helps to fight infections and heal wounds.
Occurs when there are abnormal levels of protein in the urine. There are filters in the kidneys that prevent large molecules, such as protein, from passing through. If these filters are damaged, proteins pass from the blood into the urine. The most common protein found in the urine is albumin. The appearance of protein in the urine may be the first sign of an otherwise silent kidney condition.
A person who receives a transplanted body organ, such as a kidney.
A chemical made by the kidneys that helps to control blood pressure.
Also called sodium. Affects the amount of fluid the body retains and increases thirst. If you have a kidney problem, too much salt can make you drink more than your kidneys can remove and may cause high blood pressure; swelling of ankles, feet, hands and puffiness under the eyes; and shortness of breath.
A dialysis unit that provides haemodialysis away from the hospital. This is an option when hospital dialysis is not required and home dialysis is not appropriate.
A mineral in the body often called 'salt'. The kidneys help to control the amount of sodium in the body. Sodium helps to control the amount of water in the body.
A medicine that helps to stop allergic reactions. It is used to prevent the body from rejecting a transplanted organ.

A build up of waste products in the blood causing nausea, vomiting, tiredness and problems with concentration.
A waste product made as the body breaks down protein. If you have a kidney problem, too much protein causes too much urea, which can lead to nausea, vomiting, tiredness, headaches, a bad taste in the mouth, bad breath, and problems with memory and concentration.
The tube that takes urine out of the body from the bladder.
The name for excess fluid and waste products that are removed from your body by the kidneys. Commonly called wee.

Tammo (auch Thankmar; * um 960; † 1037) war ab 994 Graf im sächsischen Hessengau und ab 1013 auch Graf in Astfala und in Flutwidde.

Seine Eltern waren der Graf Dietrich von Sachsen und Fritheruna, Tochter von Pfalzgraf Adalbero, sein Bruder der Bischof Bernward von Hildesheim.

Er war der Vogt der Hildesheimer Kirche. Seit 1001 war er Truchsess Kaiser Ottos III. in Italien. Dort gelang es ihm, von der Burg Paterno aus die aufständischen Römer im Zaum zu halten und dadurch das kaiserliche Ansehen in jenen Gegenden zu befestigen. Am 18. März 1001 erhielt er in Palazzuolo ein Gut von fünf Hufen im Dorfe Leibi (Liubicha, Großlöbichau) im Kirchberger Gebiete (in territoruio Kirihbergensi) in der Grafschaft Eckhards (in comitatu Ekkiharti) zum Geschenk. Am 12. Mai desselben Jahres erhielt er von Otto III. in Ravenna, auf Verwendung des Markgrafen Hugo von Tuszien, eine Hufe (Landgut) in dem fränkischen Ober-Ingelheim geschenkt, welche vorher ein gewisser Bernhard besessen hatte.

1013 übertrug ihm Heinrich II. als Lehen den Gau Astfala, in dem auch Bernwards Klosterstiftung lag. Seine gräfliche Befugnis erstreckte sich hier über die Orte vorwiegend in den heutigen Landkreisen Peine, Wolfenbüttel und Hildesheim. Als Todesjahr gilt 1037. "Als terminus ante quem ergibt sich das Jahr 1037, das Todesjahr des Grafen Tangmar (Tammo)", schreiben Michael Brandt und Arne Eggebrecht 1993.

Tammos Grafschaft im Gau Flutwidde fiel nach seinem Tod an die Brunonen.

Gunung Leuser National Park
Date: May 17, 2017 By fahmi123 Categories: Points of Interest No comments
Gunung Leuser National Park is a large nature conservation area near Lake Toba. It covers a total area of 1,094,692 hectares (4,227 sq mi). Mount Leuser towering to 3,404 meters (11,200 ft) above sea level is the icon of the park that also includes native ecosystems from the coast lines to the deep tropical rain forest of Sumatra. To see it on the map, click here.
What's Special
Its outstanding scenic beauty and significant natural habitats have made the tropical rain forest of Sumatra (including Gunung Leuser National Park) to become a United Nations' World Heritage Site. About 130 species of mammals live in this park. They include Sumatran orangutans, gibbons, long-tailed monkeys, macaws, kedihs (Presbytis thomasi), leopards, sun bears, Sumatran tigers, Sumatran elephants, Sumatran rhinoceros, and sambar deer (Cervus unicolor). About 325 species of birds also live there. The park also includes mangrove forest, beach and swamp forest, lowland rain forest, moss forest, and sub-alpine forest. There are also rare and distinctive plants such as Rhizanthes zippelnii which, with its diameter of up to 1.5 meters (50 ft), is the largest flower.
Most visitors usually start their adventure into the park through Bukit Lawang. Mountain climbers who wish to conquer Mount Leuser may also get there via Gayo Luwes in Aceh. Always take a guide when going into the forest. See Bukit Lawang.

Q: SQL CASE in WHERE Incorrect Syntax Good Afternoon
Im programming in SQL and i have this problem
The Code is:
    select
    item.TX_Commercial_Family as 'Familia Comercial',
    sum(nota.NM_Invoice_Quantity) as 'Quantidade Faturada' ,
    sum(nota.NM_Material) as 'Valor Faturado'
    from DW_DTS_Item item
    INNER JOIN DIS_DTS_Invoice_Fact nota ON item.SK_Item = nota.SK_Item
    inner join DW_DTS_Representative usuario on        nota.SK_Representative=usuario.SK_Representative
  inner join DW_DTS_Operation_Nature cfop on       cfop.SK_Operation_Nature=nota.SK_Operation_Nature
   where
item.CD_Inventory_Group='30'
and (
    cfop.CD_CFOP='5101'
    OR cfop.CD_CFOP='6101'
    OR cfop.CD_CFOP='6107'
    OR cfop.CD_CFOP='6108'
    OR cfop.CD_CFOP='6109'
    OR cfop.CD_CFOP='6113'
    OR cfop.CD_CFOP='6401'
    )
and(
    case
        when :number = '01' then nota.SK_Representative='05'
    end

)
and nota.SK_Currency='1'
and nota.CD_Country='BRASIL'
and nota.DT_Sale_Forma_Bill_Exit between '2016-09-01' and '2016-09-30'
--and extract (year from nota.DT_Sale_Forma_Bill_Exit) = extract(year from CURRENT_DATE)

group by item.TX_Commercial_Family,usuario.TX_Representative,usuario.SK_Representative
order by usuario.TX_Representative asc

But when I compile the code, the following error appears
SQL Error [102][S0001]:Incorrect syntax near '='.

The point is that I have to pass a parameter and through this parameter filter through which SK_Representative will appear in the code.
I've tried everything but the error continues to appear

A: According to the error you are probably using SQL Server.
Replace :number with @number.
e.g.
declare @number int = 1;
select  @number + 1;
set     @number = @number * 10;
select  @number;

A: As you want to use number as parameter then use '@' instead of ':'
So use the following snippet where u are using case statements.
and(
    case
        when @number = '01' then nota.SK_Representative='05'
    end
)

Pignose 7-100 Legendary Portable Guitar Amp Review
If portability tops your priority list when getting a new house amp, but you're still in need of at least a somewhat powerful device, Pignose 7-100 might be just the thing you are looking for.
Featuring an old-school appearance and overall vibe, this portable guitar amp will bring you back to the glory days of rock 'n' roll in a matter of seconds. And it's not just the rock domain the Pignose 7-100 has covered, as we're talking about a quite versatile device able to cover a vast array of genres and playing styles. Whichever type of magic you have in your fingers, the amp has it covered.
Used by such greats as late Frank Zappa, the amp features a dominant rock tone; hence the delivered audio always features at least a slight bluesy overdrive. The 7-100 has plenty of pros to brag with but also drags along a few cons along the way. But seeing it's a $75 device we're talking about, we can easily say that it's an investment you simply won't regret. Check out the detailed review below.
As noted, this is a bluesy rock amp we have at our hands. Although the amp features only 5 watts of power, it delivers a surprisingly loud performance. Audio-wise, the sound is typically described as more on the overdriven side, making it most suitable for blues or classic rock sound. The clean guitar sound is also on a fairly high level, allowing a solid performance without much hassle or tweaking.
If we were to name other greats that had their guitars regularly plugged into one of these apart from Zappa, we could single out blues legend Johnny Winter and The Rolling Stones axeman Ronnie Wood. If their kind of vibe is your kind of vibe, buy Pignose 7-100 without hesitation. If it's not, well, it will still work like a charm. More details in the features section, so venture forth.
It's portability plus solid power with this one, so the device's 6.25 x 5 x 9.5 inches size is fairly small but still enough to fit a 5-inch speaker packing a total of 5 watts of power. The device runs on 6 AA batteries and can be powered via an optional AC adapter, which is not included in the initial package. Along with the given specs, the 4.6 lbs (2.1 kb) weight turns the 7-100 into one of the ultimate portable amplifiers.
As far as additional features and tweaks go, the Pignose 7-100 doesn't really have one, there are just an input and a handle for easier transport. Along with a speaker and sturdy casing, there's not much a musician needs really.
Musicians single out various types of use for this amp. Of course, there's house practice, smaller band rehearsals without a drum kit, studio work and busking. Many stress the ease this Pignose model brings when it comes to busking, due to portability and natural reverb created in such environments as subways and passages. If you happen to be one such musician, the 7-100 should be among your top picks.
Durability and reliability
Old-school vibe brings along old-school sturdiness, a feature many modern products simply don't have, and it's not just the amp domain we're talking about, but electronics in general. The 7-100 is strong enough to withstand rough transportation and even an accidental punch or two. Being a great busking amp, it's also fairly resistant to different outdoor conditions such as cold air temperature and humidity.
The same goes for reliability, as the amp is not prone to breaking. You do of course have to deal with batteries and their constant replacement, unless you're willing to spend a few extra dollars on an adapter, which you most definitely should in our opinion, especially if you intend to use the 7-100 at home as a practice amp.
But the batteries are still a great choice and give you additional freedom even with house jams. With only a single cable attached, you are more mobile while you're jamming, allowing you to find that perfect playing spot and strum until you drop.
We didn't discuss the looks that much, but we can't resist pointing out how gorgeous this amp is. Classic modern or somewhat bulky amps work great of course, but this kind of charm is really something.
Overall: Pros and Cons
To sum it all up as briefly as possible – Pignose 7-100 is a good amp. It's a great amp if its features match your demands properly and it's definitely a purchase you wouldn't regret, not by a long shot. Being a portable house amp, it's a type of product equally useful to both aspiring young musicians and seasoned guitar veterans with hundreds, if not thousands of live gigs under their belts.
You always need a good amp to jam at home, as you know perfectly well that powerful amps don't cut it for quiet jams. They're also typically a bit too complicated for simple plug 'n' play jams, so a good small device is a must. Finally, join us in the pros and cons rundown below.
Pignose 7-100 Portable Amplifier Pros
Portability – A very portable device with enough power to back it all up. High-quality sound is guaranteed and so is durability, but the portable aspect makes the little guy stand out even more.
Price – With a $75 price tag, this is a definite bargain. For the given amount you can typically get decent miscellaneous equipment such as pedals and effect, but hardly a crucial playing device such as a portable guitar amp.
Pignose 7-100 Portable Amplifier Cons
Bluesy rock amp – As noted by various customers, the amp isn't the best choice for players preferring the clean tone, as a certain dose of distortion is always present. And this goes to the niche crowd; if you need the clear sound occasionally this point will hardly be a problem for you. Furthermore, the sound stands as the amps stronger side, so if it's the bluesy rock you need, Pignose 7-100 will more than deliver.
