Frank Miller showcase: his best comics ever
I won't be discovering anything new by telling you that Frank Miller is the author of some of the best comics ever produced, and was partially responsible for the rebirth of the American comics industry during the 80's (along with Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman).
His stories on Daredevil defined the character forever, turning it from a second-tier hero into one of the most popular Marvel's characters. He's completely responsible for my love to this character, and you can see in our Daredevil review that many of his best stories are written by Miller. Later on, he moved to create two of the most influential Batman stories ever, as Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One. That information alone should prove my point right away.
Anyway, those are not the only good stories that Miller wrote or gave art to. Let's take a look at some of Frank Miller's best comics along this article, where you´ll find some material that, if you haven't read yet, you MUST include NOW in your "to-read" list.
Miller's begginings
Born in Maryland on January 27th, 1957, Frank Miller was a comics fan since his early years. He received recommendations from Neil Adams himself, and in early 1979 Jim Shooter took Miller to work at Marvel. His early works were filling in some Peter Parker: Spider-Man issues which had Daredevil as guest star. Since Gene Colan had just left Daredevil´s own title, which wasn't doing well in sales at the time, Miller saw an opportunity and lobbied with Jo Duffy to get in the title.
His start was in issue 158, written by Roger McKenzie, and Miller's expressionist artwork, influenced by film noir and manga, was an instant hit between readers. However, sales didn't improve and the title, which was published bimonthly at the time, was close to be cancelled.
Denny O'Neil, the editor of Daredevil, made a master move. He took out McKenzie of the title and let Miller take control of the title's scripts on issue #168. And so the magic began…
Because his art is REEEAALLY good, but Miller's magic began when he imagined the most intense histories for all the characters he took, and thus Frank Miller produced some of the best comics available in the american industry.
Want to review them with me? Let's go.
Daredevil: The Elektra Saga
On issue #168, Miller introduced a female mercenary, sai wielding ninja, who was Matt Murdock's first and lost love from his college days. She had disappeared from Matt's life after his father, a Greek diplomat was assassinated, and then was trained and brainwashed by a ninja cult called the Hand. By the way, her name was going to be Indigo, but then he decided to change it to Elektra, to play with the mythical side of the story.
Just three issues after the start of this story, the title regains it's monthly status. Daredevil's story is filled with martial arts background with the introduction of Stick, Matt's sensei after the accident that blinded him. The story is a rollercoster of emotions, with a growing dark mood in them.
Wanna see a person stabbed in the back with a sai while watching a movie? Check. Wanna see a hero perform heroics with a cast on his leg? Check. Wanna see the hero drop his enemy to a certain dead, after his enemy kills the love of his life? Check. Or the hero play Russian roulette with his enemy while he's in his hospital bed? You´ll love this series…
The first run of Miller on Daredevil extends to issue #191, in February 1983, and has been collected in three volumes:
Daredevil by Frank Miller Vol1
Daredevil by Frank Miller Vol 2

Thanks for the attention, and let's continue
Miller also produces two Amazing Spider-Man annuals (#14 & 15) while his first stay at Marvel, featuring Dr. Strange and Punisher, and he also generates another classic:
Wolverine #1 – #4 Miniseries (1982)
This miniseries also reinforces Wolverine's ties with the ninja's world when he travels to Japan, and fights the Hand. Some of the visuals from the second Wolverine movie were clearly inspired by this series.
Wolverine by Claremont & Miller
Co-written with Chris Claremont, this miniseries relates closely with the X-Men: From the Ashes storyline, so if you like this trade, go check the other one to see more adventures of Wolvie in Japan.
Miller goes DC
In 1980, while still working for Marvel, Miller drew a short Batman story written by his previous mentor, Denny O'Neil. But during 1983 / 1984, Miller moves from Marvel to DC Comics to produce his first creator owned project:
The story of Ronin continues focalized in the fascination of Miller by the Japanese Manga and their culture. The story connects feudal japan with a dystopic future New York city where a ronin (a samurai without master) is reincarnated. It's a great sci-fi story, with some incredible plot twists that will leave you thinking a while.
Frank Miller's Ronin
Following this hit, Miller produces another masterpiece:
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns
This 4 issue miniseries is, without a doubt, one of the best comics ever written by Frank Miller and one of the two or three bigger classics of comics history: a retired Batman in his fifties return to fight crime in a future Gothman ruled by mutants and violent crime. Yes, violence is much present here… if you don't believe me, look at how Batman deals with the Joker! Nothing you saw before that date!
Miller wrote and draw the story, that was inked by Klaus Janson and collored by Lynn Varley. The particular storytelling of the book, where TV screens dominate and tell us what's going on in the world, reflect the culture of the mid 80's. This series, together with Watchmen, by Alan Moore, generated a new way to look at comics: adult oriented stories and darker characters.
You probably have read this story. If you haven't, what are you waiting to read one of the Frank Miller's best comics?? Many books you might be reading now take some kind of element from this one. Go and read the original!
Miller was without any doubts at the peak of his career at this moment. Right after producing the Dark Knight, he goes back to Marvel to write another incredibly good story:
Daredevil: Born Again
Daredevil: Born again by Frank Miller
The story runs from issues 227 to 233. Together with artist David Mazzucchelli, Miller creates a story that chronicles the destruction and the rebirth of the character. What happens when the hero's worst enemy discovers his secret identity? That's what Daredevil finds out here, the hard way.
Through this story, Miller grows Daredevil's background, introducing Sister Mary, a nun who happens to be his long lost mother. If you haven't read this story, what are you waiting for? This is one of Daredevil's pivotal stories, as well as one of the best comics ever written, a story where the hero goes right to the bottom of the ocean and fights his way back.
Believe me, this is another one of the best comics written by Frank Miller! And it's cheap to buy!
Later on, together with artist Bill Sienkiewicz Miller writes another two great Daredevil stories:
Daredevil: Love and War
Love & War by Frank Miller
Which is more a story about the Kingpin and his relationship with his wife, Vanessa
Elektra: Assasin
Elektra assasin trade paperback
A surrealistic, violent, and somewhat sci-fy story set after Elektra's resurrection by the Hand. It´s a complex story both in terms of script and art, so it's not for recently initiated readers. The art in both books is really good, but Sienkiewicz also in not for everybody…
If I wanted to buy this material now, I'd probably go for the nice hardcover below that collects both stories:
Daredevil / Elektra: Love and War
After these two books at Marvel, Miller moves back to DC and produces another one of the highest points in his career:
Batman: Year One
Batman: Year One by Frank Miller
Originally published in Batman #404-407 and again in collaboration with David Mazzuchelli, Miller writes another instant classic (in my opinion, even better than The Dark Knight Returns).
This story retells Batman origins, how he started his career, his first appearances, his relationship with James Gordon, and builds the ground for many post-crisis Batman stories, as well as inspires many elements for future Batman movies. Only here is better. This is great, great material. Don't tell me I didn't tell you!
I put the link for the hardcover version here because a. this is the original cover for this book, and b. this book deserves it! It's another one of the greatest hits of Frank Miller 's comics career!
Miller works again for Marvel's Epic line with
Elektra Lives Again
Frank Miller's Elektra Lives Again
A fully painted graphic novel that tells the story of Elektra's resurrection and Matt Murdock's quest to meet her again.
Miller writes and draws this story, with colors by Lynn Varley, and this oversized book is more experimental on Miller side, showing a visual storytelling that is closer to his future work in Dark Horse than his past works in Marvel.
You can also find this material together with Elektra Assassin and a couple extra features in the Elektra by Frank Miller Omnibus, might also be a nice book to buy.
The Dark Horse years
Miller moves then to Dark Horse, complaining about DC's rating systems that would mean some kind of censorship to his books and trying to have more creative freedom, but mainly trying to keep higher participation of his creator rights. His first material there is
Hard Boiled by Frank Miller and Geof Darrow
A three issues miniseries violent satire about a cybernetic assasin, winner of the Eisner award in 1991. Some elements of Miller are always present here: a dystopic society, the violence… But the main dish here is not Miller the writer, but the art by Geof Darrow. Frankly spectacular. Seriously, if you haven't read this, check the level of detail of Darrow's pencils in this book.
Almost at the same time, comes out
Together with Watchmen's Dave Gibbons, Miller produces this four-issue sci-fi miniseries about Martha Washington.
Again a near future in permanent war, Miller makes in this book a hard critic against corporations and American politics: the republican figure comes as a brutal assassin, and shows the democrat figure as a character with good intentions but no strength nor capacity to do things.
It's a deep complex, adult work that has many sequels, but none of them as good as the original one.
In this series, Millar changes radically his backgrounds. He moves from the difunctional futures of Hard Boiled & Martha Washington to take us to Basin City, also known as Sin City due to corruption levels. In this story, well within the noir police genre, Miller creates a new universe of gansters, ninja prostitutes, corrupt politicians, loosers and killers for hire that he would later explore in many series.
The series was (almost) entirely in black and white, and Miller explores here his mastery for shadows and lights. Miller revitalized the genre again with this title, and one could reasonably argue that titles as 100 Bullets from Azzarello / Risso or the many Criminal series by Greg Rucka and Sean Phillips, all of them excellent on their own, may not have seen print if the market wasn't previously prepared by this Miller title.
Sin City is another one of Frank Miller's best stories in comic books, building a universe that appeals both to comic lovers and to people that hasn't read a comic before in his life, and as you probable know it has been taken to the big screen in 2005 by Robert Rodriguez. The movie includes elements from The Hard Goodbye, The Big Fat Kill and That Yellow Bastard storylines.
The Hard Goodbye
Frank Millers Sin City – Vol 1
The saga of Sin City has many books, some of them are better than others. The first one, The Hard Goodbye, is a can't miss book about a hard guy accused of a crime he didn't commit. Miller has declared that in Sin City's chronology this would really be the last story. I don't know if it's the first or the last, but it's surely the best.
A Dame to Kill For
The second Sin City book was A Dame to Kill For. Originally published as a 6-issues miniseries, it tells the story of the relationship about Dwight, a former journalists that works as private eye taking pictures of ladies while committing adultery, and Ava, a beautiful but manipulative woman.
The books keeps adding more characters to the Sin City mini-universe, including Miho, a small but deadly ninja killer prostitute, and more characters that will appear later on in the stories.
The Big, Fat Kill
Some say this is the worst installment of the saga.
Here we find Dwight again, with all the prostitutes from the Old Neighborhood. Some people say that this story is a test run for the future 300 storyline, but with fire guns.
That Yellow Bastard
The fourth installment is also one of the best of the series. It focuses on detective Hartigan, a 60 year man one hour away from retirement, that risks it all to save an 11 year old girl kidnapped by the homicidal Roark junior, son of Senator Roark.
From there on, the senator set to make his life impossible. As a detail, Roark Junior is the only character depicted in color, a rotten yellow that points even more to the internal corruption of the character.
Familiy Values
The fifth Sin City story was originally published in Graphic Novel format, and marks the comeback of Dwight and Miho in a story that is told from multiple points of view in order to find out what really happened.
Booze, Broads and Bullets
This book is really a collection of short stories previously published as one shots or elsewhere.
Includes the Baby Wore Red, Silent Night, Sex & Violence; Lost, Lonely & Lethal; Tales to Offend and Just Another Night, originally published in Wizard Magazine.
Hell and Back
The last published and longer Sin City story. Surely the most erotic and sexy installment of the saga, it tells the story of Wallace, an ex-marine that sets to rescue Esther.
It's supposed to be love story through the Sin City lens, and includes one fully painted by Lynn Varley chapter.
Also for Dark Horse, Miller produces another books
Big Guy and Rusty, the Boy Robot
A 1995 two part miniseries in collaboration with Geof Darrow again. This title became an animated series in 1999. The story reminds Japanese monster attack classics, centering about a giant reptile attacking Tokyo. Rusty the Boy Robot , a homage to Astroboy, the Japanese assigned hero, must join forces with American robot Big Guy to stop this threat.
300 by Frank Miller
This 1998 miniseries retells the classic Battle of Thermopylae from the perspective of Leonidas of Sparta, the Miller's way. Plenty of violence, sick characters and lots of action.
This book is also an expression of why Frank Miller is one of the best and most complete artists in comics. Miller chose a special format to draw it, with every page twice as wide the size of a normal comic. That alone increases the visuals of the book, that won three Eisner awards in 1999. Real good material to have in your library! (What a good present for Father's Day!)
As everybody should know, Zack Snyder adapted this story into the big screen in 2007, with big success.
Xerxes: The Fall of the House of Darius and the Rise of Alexander
Recently Miller has produced another book regarding this universe, a 5 issue miniseries that acts as a prequel and sequel to this story, that´s also the return of Miller to the writer & artist status.
I have to be completely true to you: this story had passed under my radar, and found out about it while doing the research for this article! I'll try to read it as soon as possible to make a fast review for you!
Back with the Big Two
Millar works again for Marvel and DC during the 90's, starting with
Daredevil: The Man Without Fear
Frank Miller's Daredevil: The Man without Fear
Miller comes back to the character that jumpstarted him to fame. This story, drawn by John Romita Jr., is kind of a Daredevil: Year One. Set in Daredevil origins, it retells the story of how Matt Murdock came to be the hero he is, amplifying details about his relationships with Elektra, Foggy and other characters.
If you read this, remember: the scene of the bullet close to the ending. Great! 'Nuff said!
Coming into the 2000's, Miller also sets aside his differences with DC comics and creates new material.
WARNING: As we always try to recommend the material we like, we have to make the comment that the material he made for DC during the last years is far from being his best material. You may try it if you really love Miller, but… if you want to really love his work, better spend your money in the titles above.
Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again
The Dark Knight Strikes Again
A three-part prestige format miniseries published in 2001 / 2002. Even being an expensive book it sold like water, but to my consideration, is far from being close to the first installment, and far from being one of Frank Miller 's best material in comics.
Anyway, it increases the number of heroes appearing in this universe by including Wonder Woman, The Flash, The Atom and some other heroes (apart from the previously appeared Superman).
You might want to try iy if you want to expand your views in this akternative universe.
All Star Batman & Robin, the Boy Wonder
The series was published in 2005 and drawn by Jim Lee, still red hot from his Batman and Superman runs.
Delays in publications, lots of pin-ups in a story that doesn't make much sense. If you read this Frank, sorry, it's my opinion… to me, it left me a bad taste in my mouth, feeling it was made only for the money.
But if you want to try it anyway, be my guest…
The Dark Knight III: The Master Race
Co-written with Brian Azzarello and drawn by Andy Kubert and Klaus Jason. Again, it sold like crazy in 2015, but the earth will keep turning even if you miss this story. Amazon shows 4 and a half stars, must be fanboys.
If you have to spend your bucks wisely and didn't read his previous material, go there please… but this book prepares the ground for potential more future stories in this universe, so you might want to read it.
I usually recomend hardcovers for the books I really enjoy, but in this case, both the hardcover and the paperback have exactly the same price by the time I write this post, so if you go for it, go for the hardcover. Again, it's not baaaad material… it's just not one of the best comics by Frank Miller.
Superman: Year One
Miller's new material is coming out of print as I write these lines. The team of Miller and Romita Junior reunite again to produce this DC Black Label miniseries, that will see the light on June 19th. The team know each other since they worked together in Daredevil: The Man without Fear. Will they make material up to that level, or similar to the last material done for DC? Only time will tell. I always put some bucks on Miller, so I'll be waiting to read it and review it for you.
Hope you enjoyed this article about one of my favorite artists in this media. If I criticized him on his latest DC material is because I really love his previous work, I'm used to read comics from Frank Miller among the best available, way above average. Since I believe Frank Miller is one of the best comics writers of all time, I'm always expecting a plus from him.
And as always, I will be expecting a lot from his soon to come Superman: Year One.
Give us many more good comics to read, Frank! You're one of the great ones, we comic lovers love you!
As we always say, keep up the good reading!

Battle at Rzhev
In the early days of World War II, 1939 to 1940, the Nazi German war machine advanced across eastern Europe, until its soldiers stood on the outskirts of Moscow, deep into the Soviet Union, poised and ready to attack the Russian capital city.
However, the Battle of Moscow stalled when the Soviet's Red Army found sufficient strength to initiate a counter offensive, at Joseph Stalin's insistence, that pushed Germany's 9th Army west, some distance from Moscow. The counter-offensive worked for a time, until the German army stopped.
The Russian town of Rzhev, located 140 miles west of Moscow, boasted a population of 56,000 on October 11, 1941, the day that its citizens watched in horror as the dreaded Nazi soldiers marched into their town, and seized control.
In the first months of the occupation, the Nazi's exported some 9,000 of the town's citizens back to Germany to work as forced laborers, and another 9,000 they shot, tortured, or starved in a concentration camp that they built in the town's center.
There in Rzhev, the Germans dug in. They built concrete bunkers, constructed a series of short anti-tank mounds, and fortified their perimeters with trenches and bulwarks. The Russians may not have known how well positioned the Germans were, and how capable they were to withstand an attack.
The war came home in earnest for Rzhev's citizens when the first of a series of battles erupted in the fields outside their town on January 8, 1942, that pitted Nazi Germany's 9th Army against the Soviet Union's Red Army.
The Soviets looked upon the Nazi Germany army ensconced in Rzhev as "a dagger pointing at Moscow." Stalin, his generals, and his officers wanted to obliterate the 9th Army, and free Rzhev.
A question arises though, "what happens when an irresistible force encounters an immovable object?" The answer, Rzhev happens, a "little known but astonishingly bloody battle."
The worst of this series of battles began on July 30, 1942, and ended on August 23, 1942, eighty years ago this month. It was noted then and since, that "it inflicted great loss of civilian and military lives," and that "the Russian army's soldiers suffered massive casualties for little gain."
One military historian described the battle's first days.
"The frontal attacks of the 31 July set the pattern for coming days. Soviet commanders did not have the latitude or imagination to develop flexible tactics, and often rigidly executed orders from above, even if it meant attacking head-on, across the same ground for days or even weeks at a time."
Behind their barricades, the Germans mowed down wave after wave of Soviet soldiers, who were ordered to attack entrenched German positions. "Soviet infantry tactics remained crude with dense masses of men rushing forward, shouting 'Hurrah!'" Hence, the term the "Rzhev Meat Grinder."
For the Soviets, total casualties in the three week battle numbered 291,172; for the Germans, 53,000.
The Germans held Rzhev for another seven months, and then without fanfare they packed up and left. Not a win for the Soviets, nor a loss for the Germans. Rzhev was liberated on March 3, 1943.
The brutality of the Nazi Germans though almost wiped out Rzhev's entire population. Only 150 people remained alive after the battle, plus another 200 who had fled to nearby towns and villages.
On June 30, 2020, two years ago, Vladimir Putin attended the unveiling of a statue in the town of Rzhev, a commemoration of the fierce battle that claimed the lives of almost 300,000 Russian soldiers. He laid roses before the statue that stands 25 meters tall, and rests upon a mound 10 meters high.
It is of a single Red Army soldier, whose right hand holds a gun near his right side. For a shirt he wears a uniform with double pockets, and across his back there is a cape with strings tied at his neck.
In the minds of most older Russians, there remains stuck a memory of the horrible things that the Germans did, once they stood on Russian soil, in mid-twentieth century.
They see it in their statues, read of it in their histories and accounts of the Great Patriotic War, hear of it in the memoirs of those who survived the German occupation. Security from Western Europe's aggression is crucial to a typical Russian.
None of what happened in World War II though can be construed to excuse Putin and the Russian army's aggressive and brutal tactics in Ukraine this year. The world should hold accountable those responsible for the destruction they have inflicted upon the Ukrainian people the past five months.

If they get leave to appeal at next hearing then they dont need any money.
They still need to get expert help, and a full transcript of the three day hearing.
They dont need a transcript, they need the transcript of the judgement which will cost about £100 at most.
Are most of the staff involved in the parking dispute part of a union - Unison appears to be active at UHW. Would this be an appropriate issue for the union to take on?
I see no reason why they can't enlist the help of Unison.
Has anyone even discussed this with them at regional level?
Unison were approached right at the start of all this.
They were as much use as a fart in a trance.
Prankster has properly identified four clear grounds of appeal.
Insofar as I am able to, I will assist TEPAG with my own witness statements as to the conduct of witnesses, Indigo, Wright Hasall and Counsel.
I hope that Pranky will be able to blog about one of the witnesses, and how they lied, real soon now.
What is going to happen on 1 Sept?
Has the judgement been handed down?
Has a non-party costs order been served?
The judgment was handed down. It was clear that despite the Judge protesting the previous day that she had made no decisions, the judgment was written before the first word was said on day one. Indeed, it didn't deal with at least one point the Defence put forward.
Also, the Judge accepted the PE v Beavis case in one point, then refused to accept it in a further point. She also stated that it can be normal practice for a company, when issuing a new contract, to DESTROY the old one!
As of today, no Non-Party costs order has been served on me, and I have not been found as having behaved unreasonably - I was not before the court on the Friday afternoon, so no order could have been made against me in any case.
As I don't officially know about the hearing on 1 September, having not yet received any court documents or the evidence the Claimant intends to rely upon, I can't answer what will happen.
Edited due to spilling errers.
The Unions are stating that this is not a work related matter. In the terms and conditions of the defendants, are there any references to parking? This was the case at another Trust. A city solicitor, who is very well versed in Private Parking, was asked for advise on the matter. He spoke to one of the medics who was in fact searching for a solicitor to take up their cases.After being given all the primary facts and information he concluded that the PPC involved were operating at the behest of the Trust and following their instructions. However, because the parking did form part of their terms and conditions of their contract of employment, it was an employment issue. The consideration in this was that unlike going shopping and being issued with a ticket for overstaying. it had more far reaching implications in that it could potentially affect their career? This was a major factor for every Medic. The group were made aware of the solicitors assessment and recommendation. It also got back to the trust concerned. This had a considerable effect on the situation. Indeed, staff were then offered individual consultation appointments and a good number of these tickets were cancelled as a result. My point is, most solicitors will look at a case/s to assess if there is a potential case to either defend or action in some other capacity. This solicitor gave his service on this free of charge. As a senior partner in a large city centre practise he obviously could not have considered taking the case without being informed fully of the facts? Was a competent ,experienced solicitor ever consulted in these 3 cases? Was the possibility of it coming under employment legislation also not considered? Knowing what was at stake, just the financial costs of the accumulation of tickets, would indicate that Indigo would not be sending an inexperienced representative? Regardless of any good intent, of John Wilkie's previous results, saying it was David and Goliath is somewhat of an understatement. The conduct of the PPC surely comes as no surprise to anyone? A simple reason this woman is untraceable? She uses this name as her name of choice for work? Most likely for her personal safety considering the line of work she is in?
It's now 30 October. There has reportedly been an unsuccessful appeal, and this matter is apparently to come to court again to determine costs liabilities.
Why, you might ask, am I using Weasel Words like "Reportedly" and "apparently"? Well, it's very simple - despite the allegations, accusations and falsehoods stated about me by Ryan Hocking, and the clear orders of the court to Wright Hassall to secure service of the order(s) upon me, I have received not a single document in relation to this matter since leaving the Court at lunchtime on that Friday. Nothing from Indigo, nothing from Wright Hassall and nothing from the court.
So, despite providing WH with my address for service by email that day, providing my business card and address to the court on a previous occasion, and despite a set aside application being made by me on 1 August, stating I had not seen any order(s), neither the Claimant or the Court has served a single document on me. Nor has the court responded to, or even acknowledged my set-aside application, despite this being emailed to court on 1 August.
It is clear to me, in hindsight, that this matter was never going to be successful. A solicitors firm known for deception, a debt collector fielding a lying, fake witness, other witnesses prepared, and prepped by the Claimant to lie on the stand and rely on notes provided on the day, and a judge who was previously employed by this very NHS Trust means that there was no equality of arms.
The conduct of the claimant, in filing and serving documents late, appealing the level of trial, and threatening over £80,000 costs of the matter was pursued, proved the Claimant was always gunning for "Unreasonable conduct" - I have witness statements to this extent from people present at the appeal.
As a result, until the court starts complying with its own rules, and investigates why I have received nothing whatsoever about this matter since leaving court, I will not take part in the proceedings. Fairly simply, if I am not being served documents, I cannot know of the proceedings.
I will, however, be referring this entire matter to the SRA, the Bar Standards Board, and the Judicial Conduct Office.
It is curious to note, however, that ZZPS have apparently moved house, to Bacchus House, Station Road, Addlestone, despite their website still claiming they are at May Court, a place at which they have never had offices or staff.
So dDoes Kristina Kealy work at Addlestone - well, a Tracing Agent will, very soon, be able to tell us.

Q: Build string from complex nested object values in Javascript I have the following input.
    [{ name: 'modules',
       children: [ { name: 'home', children: [], allowed: true } ],
       allowed: true },

     { name: 'modules',
       children:
         [ { name: 'new', children: [], allowed: true },
           { name: 'all', children: [], allowed: true } ],
       allowed: true },

     { name: 'groups',
       children:
         [ { name: 'new', children: [], allowed: true },
           { name: 'all', children: [], allowed: true } ],
       allowed: true },

     { name: 'users',
       children:
         [ { name: 'new', children: [], allowed: true },
           { name: 'all', children: [], allowed: true } ],
       allowed: true },

     { name: 'settings',
       children:
         [ { name: 'generally', children: [], allowed: true },
           { name: 'personal', children: [], allowed: true } ],
       allowed: true }]

I would like to build string from the values like this: name.children.name.children and so on. I need every possible combination. The nesting can be endless. So a string like 'test.test1.test2.test3' is possible.
So the endresult of the example should be:
'modules.home'
'modules.new'
'modules.all'
'groups.new'
'groups.all'
'users.new'
'users.all'
'settings.generally'
'settings.personal'

My current solution does not really work..
Which is the best and most performant solution to achieve this? Thanks in advance!

A: You can use a recursive function, like this
function recursiveNamer(currentList, currentNameString, result) {

    var name = currentNameString === "" ? "" : currentNameString + ".";

    currentList.forEach(function(currentObject) {

        if (currentObject.children.length === 0) {

            result.push(name + currentObject.name);

        } else {

            recursiveNamer(currentObject.children, name + currentObject.name, result);

        }

    });

    return result;
}

console.log(recursiveNamer(inputData, "", []));

And the result would be
[ 'modules.home',
  'modules.new',
  'modules.all',
  'groups.new',
  'groups.all',
  'users.new',
  'users.all',
  'settings.generally',
  'settings.personal' ]

A: You could use a loop:
for(var i=0;i<data.length;i++){
    for(var e=0;e<data[i].children.length;e++){
        console.log(data[i].name+'.'+data[i].children[e].name);
    }
}

Aviation Statistics
Statistics on Aviation are collected under Statutory Instrument (S.I.) No. 91 of 2014 - Statistics (carriage of passengers, freight and mail by air) Order 2013.
The data in this release gives details on the number of passengers, the number of flights classified by arrivals and departures, and by reference to national and international traffic; and covers both scheduled and non-scheduled flights. It also provides information on air freight and mail (in tonnes). The release also highlights the top routes for each of the five main airports: Dublin, Cork, Shannon, Knock and Kerry.
Aviation statistics are compiled from data supplied by all Irish airports. The following Irish airports provide data to the Central Statistics Office: Dublin, Cork, Shannon, Kerry, Knock, Waterford, Connemara, Donegal and Inishmore. Galway and Sligo airports ceased operations in 2011. Data for the five main airports is supplied on a monthly basis. Data for regional airports is supplied annually to the Central Statistics Office.
Main airport: A main airport is defined as an airport through which in excess of 150,000 passengers fly per annum. The five main airports in Ireland are Dublin, Cork, Shannon, Knock and Kerry.
Regional airport: A regional airport is defined as an airport through which less than 150,000 passengers fly per annum. The four regional airports in Ireland are Donegal, Waterford, Connemara and Inishmore.
Scheduled flight: The term 'scheduled' in this release, refers to a commercial air service operated according to a published timetable, or with such a regular frequency that it constitutes an easily recognisable systematic series of flights.
Non-scheduled flight: The term 'non-scheduled' in this release, refers to a commercial air service other than scheduled air service e.g. chartered or private aircraft flights.
Direct transit passengers: These are passengers who, following a short stop, continue their journey on the same aircraft with the same flight number as the flight on which they arrived. These passengers are en route to another destination and generally do not disembark from their aircraft.
Transfer passengers: Transfer passengers or 'connecting passengers' are defined as passengers who make a stop at an airport without any purpose other than to board another aircraft to reach another destination. Unlike transit passengers, transfer passengers disembark the aircraft and pass through the airport en route to their connecting flight.

Self-Driving at a Discount: More Value from vRealize!
Birthdays are great opportunities for reflection.
It's often enlightening to look back on the last year (or five, or ten, or 20) and see just how much we've grown. How about you – where were you last year? How about ten years ago? How have your surroundings, your goals, and your priorities changed since then?
As VMware turns 21 this year, it's especially enlightening to look back on the last several years for Cloud Management and vRealize Operations. From the early days of vCenter Operations Manager, to the "Intelligent Operations" days of vRealize Operations 6.0-6.6, to today's Self-Driving Operations reality – we've certainly come a long way!
We're so proud, in fact, of the continuous performance optimization, efficient capacity management, intelligent remediation, and integrated compliance in vRealize Operations today that we're gifting a variety of opportunities to maximize your investment in operations management with some huge upgrade promotions.
A quick word about vSphere with Operations Management, or "vSOM": If you've purchased vSOM before, it's likely now represented as two separate licenses for its component pieces of vSphere ENT+ and vRealize Operations Standard in your My VMware portal.
Most of these promotions below offer an easy step-up from vRealize Operations Standard to vRealize Operations Advanced or vRealize Suite Standard, which offer the meat of the self-driving, "entire SDDC" features that encapsulate "Self-Driving Operations." However – if you were a vSOM customer and simply want to keep managing your vSphere environment, and nothing else – you can very much continue to do so using vRealize Operations Standard, which remains the gold standard for simply monitoring and managing vSphere performance, capacity, and remediation. Check out exactly what each edition of vRealize Operations provides here.
On the other hand, a lot of our customers might want to use a single management tool for their entire SDDC environment (not just vSphere). Accordingly, let's look at a few common scenarios.
…manage vSphere and other datacenter components (physical infrastructure, vSAN, VMC on AWS, etc) with a single tool.
vRealize Operations Standard is THE management tool for vSphere-only environments, but vRealize Operations Advanced really takes your operations management to the next level.
Upgrading to vRealize Operations Advanced (also included in vRealize Suite Standard) gives you all of the above, and today you can upgrade at up to 65% off.* Check out more details at the promo landing page, and review this really excellent technical overview of what all you get by upgrading to vRealize Operations Advanced.
*Featured vRealize Operations upgrade is valid for 65% off if done in tandem with 50% off upgrade from vSphere ENT+ to vSphere Platinum. If done alone, featured vRealize Operations Upgrade is 50% off.
2. You want the very best of breed in security and management for your infrastructure and applications.
vCloud Suite Platinum brings together VMware vSphere Platinum, the world's leading compute virtualization platform, and the industry-leading vRealize Suite cloud management platform (all editions of which contain at least vRealize Operations Advanced). By bringing together advanced security capabilities fully integrated into the world's most comprehensive cloud management platform, enterprises have an easy way to on-board to cloud with enhanced security and consistent operations across clouds, supporting secure application innovation.
You can upgrade straight from vSphere ENT+ into vCloud Suite Platinum at 50% off the upgrade to vSphere Platinum for vCloud Suite Platinum and start building, deploying, and managing secure applications across private, hybrid, and public clouds today.
3. You're buying vSphere for the first time, or just want to expand your vSphere footprint.
Whether it's spreadsheets or a gaggle of several different tools, your business is using something to manage its IT operations. However, few management tools can offer apps-to-infrastructure observability and management across multiple clouds that vRealize Operations can. Instead of investing in your private cloud and figuring out management piecemeal, start with vCloud Suite to efficiently bundle virtualization with vRealize Operations self-driving management in one tightly integrated package.
And whether you're buying management for the first time, upgrading your management tool or simply expanding, consider the extended visibility of full stack monitoring with our new promotional suites – vRealize Suite Standard with Extensibility, and vCloud Suite Standard with Extensibility.
These "extended" suite editions provide the fully extended insight of full-stack monitoring – now including vRealize Suite and Blue Medora True Visibility Suite Advanced management packs together in a single bundle – for compute, storage, networking, HCI, virtualization, container, and cloud to fully extend vRealize into your unique environment.
Of course, if you're wanting to add management to your existing vSphere footprint, then vRealize Suite Standard with Extensibility (above) is best – and you can even upgrade from vRealize Operations Standard (which again includes vSOM customers!) at 50% off.
If you're wanting to buy new hypervisor units with fully extended management attached, then vCloud Suite Standard with Extensibility (below) makes the most sense.
If you already have vRealize Operations Advanced or vCloud/vRealize Suite, you can also take advantage of Blue Medora's 50% promotion on True Visibility Suite Advanced to extend vRealize Operations Advanced and above.
We're really, really proud of the effort and advancements that have been made in vRealize Operations in the last couple years especially, and if you haven't had the chance to evaluate the latest in vRealize Operations as the single management tool for your entire SDDC – from applications to infrastructure and across multiple clouds – well, let's just say that although we're thankful for our teen years, we've grown up quite a bit.
Download a free trial, contact a sales team member, or just read more about all these promotions on our overflowing promo page.
Oh, and stay tuned for vRealize Operations 7.5.

Q: Compare 2 strings in ASP Classic to find new and removed elements Okay, I am on deep water with this, and I do not know where to start .. In ASP Classic I have a string from a form that I need to Compare with a string from DB .. The string from the form are the new values that should be loaded into the DB, but before that I need to know which elements are already in the DB, which are new and which will be removed .. let me explain the "concept":
I have these 2 string values:

*

*From Form (New values) : APR, BJE, BNI, KLR, LMO03, LMO05

*From Database (Existing) : APR, BJE, BNI, BIA, BOK, CHO

So in the above case I would need 2 new variables
Variable #1 :
This should contain new entries from form that is not already in DB, in the case above this would contain the following.

*

*KLR, LMO03, LMO05

Variable #2 :
This should contain entries from DB that are not in the form, and there for will be deleted, in the case above this would contain the following.

*

*BIA, BOK, CHO

What I have is :
The Requst.Form above explained and the following select :
DIM SelectExistingPrivilegeMembersConn, SelectExistingPrivilegeMembersSQL, objSelectExistingPrivilegeMembers, PriviouslyGroupMembers

PriviouslyGroupMembers = ""

Set SelectExistingPrivilegeMembersConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
SelectExistingPrivilegeMembersConn.ConnectionString="Provider=SQLOLEDB; DATA SOURCE=<SERVER>;UID=<USERNAME>;PWD=<PASSWORD>;DATABASE=<DATABASE>"

        objSelectExistingPrivilegeMembers.MoveNext

Wend
objSelectExistingPrivilegeMembers.Close
Set objSelectExistingPrivilegeMembers = Nothing

PriviouslyGroupMembers = left(PriviouslyGroupMembers,len(PriviouslyGroupMembers)-1)

How can I crack this?
What I have so far :
I have managed to get first variable now, the NewGroupMembers but my effort to get variable GroupMembersRemoved I have dificulties seeing how I can do and need some help.

Why did Republicans outperform the polls?
By Joshua Tucker
November 5, 2014 at 9:32 a.m. EST
https://twitter.com/SamWangPhD/status/529864519955537921
As election results continue to roll in, the big puzzle of the morning is not why the Republicans won so many Senate seats – as was just noted in the previous Monkey Cage post, The Monkey Cage's Election Lab did a remarkably good job of predicting this outcome — but rather the question is — as the tweet from Princeton's Sam Wang above illustrates (and see extended discussion on his blog here) — why, when polls were biased, they seem to have so consistently been biased in the Democrats' favor (i.e., Republicans did better than polls predicted they would). After all, we are supposed to be living in a world where polls are more likely to miss Democrats' supporters — especially young, cellphone only types — so why the big Republican surprise?
I'm sure there will be a great deal of money and effort spent trying to figure out the answer to this question, but I just want to suggest one possible avenue for exploration. We are living in an era where poll response rates are dropping precipitously, at least for traditional phone-based surveys. This point was dramatically illustrated in a recent Pew Report showing that response rates had fallen from 36 percent in 1997 to 9 percent in 2012:
This means that pollsters now have to contact more people in order to get the required number of respondents for their surveys. This in turn means that there is a greater possibility that the actual sample of people contacted is "biased" in the sense that it doesn't accurately represent the population of interest to those doing the surveys.
Now of course, pollsters know this, which is why they "weight" survey respondents in an attempt to make the sample more representative of the population in question. This has always been an important part of polling, especially in terms of elections when pollsters have also had to try to estimate the likely voting population. Nevertheless, as response rates drop further, the importance of weighting surveys correctly can only increase.
So here's what I am thinking about Wednesday morning: Is it possible that pollsters overestimate the previous election when constructing their weights for the current election? So yes, there are good reasons to think it is harder to reach young people today using telephone surveys. But of course pollsters know this, and so adjust the weights of their surveys accordingly. But with fewer young people in their surveys — combined with the possibility that the young people you can reach by phone are not representative of young people generally — the work that has to be done by these weights grows. Now, not wanting to get a mistaken estimate because of this bias, I wonder if the polling overcompensated in terms of weights in this regard because of the voting patterns observed in the 2012 presidential elections.
To be clear, I am not stating that I think pollsters applied presidential turnout models to an off-term election, but instead whether the subtle concerns about underestimating portions of the 2012 electorate led pollsters to overcompensate in setting their weights for the 2014 elections, which in turn had a larger effect due to declining response rates to surveys. Put another way, in a context of declining response rates, then the flux of simultaneously estimating a changing population, likely turnout models, and a changing set of people who respond to surveys could have further exacerbated the desire not to miss populations that may have been challenging to estimate in 2012.
There will undoubtedly be lots of other explanations offered up for the disparity between poll averages and the actual split of the votes in many of last night's races. And again to be very clear, in terms of picking winners, poll averaging once again did remarkably well, especially in the Senate races. But if my hunch is correct, then it would suggest that heading into 2016, Republicans should be a little wary of inflated poll numbers as pollsters attempt to incorporate the lessons of 2014, especially if response rates to surveys continue to drop in the coming two years.

The Chaire is made of potter with small bag ( Ko-Bukusa ). Some items are so beautiful and fashionable. It is presumed that they were used not only as a tea tool but their fashion item to show to their guets. We do not have enough items here due to time to prepare right now but we are planning expand our sales items. Please wait for a while with an expectation.

As your immune system is on point, it is a lifesaver. However, as good as it might be, it isn't perfect. Occasionally, this group of special tissues, cells, and organs does not act the way it ought to.
At least eighty sicknesses are caused by problems with the immune system. They all can cause inflammation. However, do you know the additional warning signs? Remember that these potential clues may occur for several other reasons. To discover what is happening with your health, you will want to visit an integrative medicine clinic.
If blood vessels are inflamed, it may be more difficult for your toes, fingers, nose, and ears to stay warm. The skin within these regions might turn white, and then blue, when you are exposed to the cold. As blood flow returns, your skin then may turn red.
Physicians refer to this "Raynaud's phenomenon." Immune system issues may cause it, yet so can additional things, which include some prescription drugs, smoking, and conditions affecting the arteries.
Diarrhea which lasts more than two to four weeks may be a warning sign that the immune system is endangering the lining of your digestive tract or small intestine.
Constipation is also a concern. If your bowel movements are difficult to pass, extremely firm, or look as if they are comprised of small rabbit pellets, the immune system might be forcing the intestine to slow down. Other potential causes include viruses, bacteria and additional health conditions.
If you're experiencing an autoimmune disorder, it means the immune system attacks the body rather than defending it. Two examples include lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
Many folks with an autoimmune disorder discover that they have dry eyes. You may feel a gritty, sandy feeling like something is inside your eye. Or you might notice redness, pain, blurred vision, or a stringy discharge. Some folks find they cannot cry even when they are upset.
Feeling exhausted, like when you have the flu, might mean something is going on with the body's defenses. Sleep isn't likely to help. Your muscles or joints may also ache. Again, there might be several other reasons why you might feel this way.
If you are running a higher temperature than you usually do, it might be that the immune system is beginning to overwork. This may occur due to an oncoming infection or because you are beginning to have a flare up of an autoimmune condition.
The skin is the body's initial barrier against germs. How it feels and looks may reflect how well the immune system is doing its job.
Red, dry, itchy skin is a common inflammation symptom. So, it's a rash that's painful or does not clear up. People who have lupus oftentimes get a butterfly-shaped rash around their cheeks and nose.

Open Educational Resources (OER) are teaching, learning, and research resources that have been openly licensed to share intellectual content or reside in the public domain. OER include textbooks, streaming videos, assessment materials, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support knowledge acquisition.
"OER Defined" by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation is licensed under CC BY 3.0
The benefits of Open Educational Resources (OER) include:
Cost savings for students
The availability of course materials – including textbook content – on day one of class for all students
The opportunity for faculty to remix openly licensed materials to fit course learning objectives and to make more relevant and meaningful connections to student experiences, interests, and goals
Open Education at LWTech
LWTech takes pride in its commitment to the introduction of OER in academic programs. Please see our Canvas site for more details on how to incorporate OER in your teaching.
OER @ LWTech Canvas Site
Faculty Librarians and other library team members at LWTech are available to help faculty and other educators in their development of OER. Library support includes researching/evaluating/selecting pre-existing OER in desired core subject areas and related (similar) subject areas; providing consultation on necessary original OER requirements; creating course plans and outlines in the context of OER creation; and verifying/validating any licensing requirements for OER developed and used at the college. Additionally, selected members of the library team are responsible for contributing to the overall ecosystem/learning environment of OER and a "culture of open" throughout the LWTech college community.
Funding Opportunity for all LWTech Faculty
Do you have a need to develop your own assignments, quizzes, slideshows, videos, website, or even textbook? Many instructors need to customize course materials for a variety of reasons. If you find yourself doing this work, why not openly license the materials so other instructors may freely use them? In doing this, you are creating Open Educational Resources (OER) and getting some funding through LWTech along the way! The Open Textbook/Course Materials Development Funding was rolled out in Winter of 2022. Find out more about this opportunity at the OER @ LWTech Canvas Site or apply now.
LWTech's Pressbooks
Find or Create Pressbooks
LWTech's Pressbooks Catalog
LWTech now has a subscription to Pressbooks in network with the WA State Board of Community and Technical Colleges. Pressbooks is an eBook platform that allows you to find and create your own books. Most of the available books are OER or openly licensed so that you can copy, edit, and reuse them freely.
OER Projects at LWTech
2016-2020 - OER Degree Initiative
LWTech was a grantee college in Achieving the Dream's OER Degree Initiative. The college is developing a fully OER pathway for the Associate in Biology DTA/MRP. Students enrolled in OER-designated courses that meet the requirements of the biology degree access textbooks and other course materials for free through their courses in Canvas. They also have the option to buy print versions of the texts in the campus bookstore for very low cost.
2016-2017 - Library as Open Education Leaders (LOEL)
This formal project, run by the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges, under a LSTA grant, provided mini-grant funding for collaborations between librarians and other faculty. LOEL collaborations included:
Professor Priyanka Pant and Faculty Librarian Heath Davis's work on CHEM& 121
Professor Priyanka Pant and Faculty Librarian Kate Magner's work on FSE Chemistry
Professor Jo Nelson and Faculty Librarian Kate Magner's work on BIOL& 175
This work formally initiated librarian-centered OER involvement at LWTech. More information on the LOEL project can be read in its summary report.
2018-2020 - Sociology 101 Game
In Fall 2018, Faculty Librarian Greg Bem and Social Science Professor Sharon Raz introduced an open pedagogy project into Sociology 101. Both agreed that a card game capable of gouging student knowledge of sociological concepts would be appropriate. The initial game and its initial card decks were generated by Sharon and Greg, and the game was run with students in the same quarter. Students were invited to provide feedback on the game mechanics and help tweak the card decks for relevance and contribute new card ideas. Between 2018 and 2020, the game was published and revised twice, and four "expansion packs" were created entirely by student contributions. The Open Sociology Game is considered one of the first intentional open pedagogy projects to be run at the college. The openly licensed game is available to download and its history/background can also be explored.
2018-2021 - Optics, Photonics, and Lasers Technical Education Coordination Network
LWTech was a sub-awardee of the National Science Foundation's Advanced Technological Education project grant titled Optics, Photonics, and Lasers Technical Education Coordination Network (NSF ATE #1801019), funded in 2018 at $500,000 for three years. In this network grant, LWTech worked with the Principal Investigator previously at Irvine Valley College (CA) and five other colleges and universities in the western U.S.—Gallatin College (MT), Spokane Community College (WA), Oregon Institute of Technology, Idaho State University, and Pima Community College (AZ)—along with their industry partners. At LWTech, Co-Principal Investigator and engineering professor Stephanie Bostwick and Faculty Librarians Katherine Kelley and Sue Wozniak updated Laser Technology (formerly Photonics) curricula to OER for three courses that previously used costly and outdated materials.
2019 - Assessment in Action (AiA) Project on Open Pedagogy
In early 2019, Faculty Librarians Greg Bem and Sue Wozniak were awarded an Assessment in Action (AiA) Mini-Grant to investigate the effects of open pedagogy as well as the experience of librarian participation in class. The project, completed in August, 2019, focused on three OER courses that ran in winter and spring quarters. An open pedagogy component was added in the spring iteration of each course, introduced and moderated by the librarians. The librarians qualitatively and quantitatively assessed each course using a student survey at the end of each quarter. Additional insight was gained through discussions with participating faculty. You can learn more about the project by reading the final report or by visiting the project website.
2020-present - Pressbooks Subscription at LWTech
During the 2020-21 academic year, the OER Core Team tested and advocated for an institutional subscription to Pressbooks, an eBook creation and storage platform that houses and helps develop OER. The State Board for Community and Technical Colleges initiated and maintains WA's network account, which LWTech joined through a SPARC grant fund. In summer of 2021, LWTech established a Pressbooks catalog and now anyone at LWTech can create digital books through Pressbooks.
2020-present - Stories from Our Lives: Student Work on PressBooks and in the Library
The LWTech English Language Learning (ELL) program and Art department have collaborated and, with the support of librarian Sue Wozniak, released an anthology of student stories and student art on our PressBooks platform: Stories from Our Lives: LWTech English Language Students in Words and Images. These books are also printed and added to the library's Easy Reading collection for physical use by ELL students in future quarters. View the book in Library Search here. This is an ongoing project and additional volumes are forthcoming.
2020-present - OER Videos and Dental Hygiene Research
Over the course of two years, three cohorts of Dental Hygiene students have participated in creating video presentations of their research to supplement their research posters. The video assignment in Research II includes education on open licenses, and students have the opportunity to add an open license to their videos. Should students choose to do so, their videos are added to the Dental Hygiene program's YouTube channel.
2021- 2024 - Open for Learning in Manufacturing Technology Project
In 2021, LWTech was awarded a National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education grant titled Creation and Modernization of Technological Education in Electronics and Welding through Open Educational Resources that are Free to Share, Use, and Revise (NSF ATE #2100136). In this three-year grant, which is funded at $365,000, three Electronics Technology and three Welding Technology courses will be updated to accessible OER materials with interdisciplinary and hybrid delivery elements where possible. The new curriculum will include connections to diverse student experiences and interests to recruit and retain students from varying backgrounds. Faculty Librarian, Katherine Kelley, and Professor Priyanka Pant are leading the project with collaborative work from Electronics Professor Neha Kardam and Welding Professor Sarah Mason.
2021-present - Diversity and Social Justice (DSJ) Faculty Guide
The Diversity and Social Justice (DSJ) Faculty Guide was created following the initial training course for faculty wanting to teach courses under the DSJ requirement. The book primarily features writing by Professor Sharon Raz, who designed and runs the course, as well as contributions from faculty within the first iteration of the course in 2021. Faculty Librarian Greg Bem served as the editor of the book. This resource will continually be updated with DSJ faculty submissions.

Stress is your body responding to your environment. And it's a good thing—in limited doses. When you get stressed out your body makes chemicals like adrenaline that make you stronger, faster, fitter, and even able to think more clearly. Most people call this reaction the "fight-or-flight" response, and it's a life-saver in dangerous situations. In a very real sense, adrenaline makes you a part-time superhero. The problems happen when your body deals with constant stress.
All NOS subtypes produce NO, but each may play a different biologic role in various tissues. nNOS and eNOS are considered constitutive forms because they share biochemical features: They are calcium-dependent, they require calmodulin and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate for catalytic activity, and they are competitively inhibited by arginine derivatives. nNOS is involved in the regulation of neurotransmission, and eNOS is involved in the regulation of blood flow.
There are, as you listen to all of the advertisements, if your erection lasts for more than four hours, there are very, very unusual cases where that can happen. There are very rare cases of visual problems. There are even rarer cases of hearing problems. But with every medication, there always a potential downside. But the absolute contraindication is an unstable medical condition, an unstable cardiovascular condition, being on nitrates.
Physicians on the Ro platform use telemedicine technologies to diagnose ED in the same way they diagnose patients in-person. Doctors ask questions to evaluate your symptoms and make sure it's safe and appropriate to prescribe ED medication. The physicians on the Ro platform use your answers to diagnose your condition and create a treatment plan. That's why it's vital you answer each question to the best of your knowledge and ensure that every communication with your physician is truthful, accurate, and thorough.
One study examined the role of testosterone supplementation in hypogonadal men with ED. These men were considered nonresponders to sildenafil, and their erections were monitored by assessing nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT). After these men were given testosterone transdermally for 6 months, the number of NPTs increased, as did the maximum rigidity with sildenafil. [18] This study suggests that a certain level of testosterone may be necessary for PDE5 inhibitors to function properly.

Penile erection is managed by two mechanisms: the reflex erection, which is achieved by directly touching the penile shaft, and the psychogenic erection, which is achieved by erotic or emotional stimuli. The former uses the peripheral nerves and the lower parts of the spinal cord, whereas the latter uses the limbic system of the brain. In both cases, an intact neural system is required for a successful and complete erection. Stimulation of the penile shaft by the nervous system leads to the secretion of nitric oxide (NO), which causes the relaxation of smooth muscles of corpora cavernosa (the main erectile tissue of penis), and subsequently penile erection. Additionally, adequate levels of testosterone (produced by the testes) and an intact pituitary gland are required for the development of a healthy erectile system. As can be understood from the mechanisms of a normal erection, impotence may develop due to hormonal deficiency, disorders of the neural system, lack of adequate penile blood supply or psychological problems.[18] Spinal cord injury causes sexual dysfunction including ED. Restriction of blood flow can arise from impaired endothelial function due to the usual causes associated with coronary artery disease, but can also be caused by prolonged exposure to bright light.
The physical side effects of chemotherapy are usually temporary and resolve within one to two weeks after stopping the chemotherapy. However, chemotherapy agents, such as Ciplatin or Vincristine, may interfere with the nerves that control erection leading to possible impotence. Make sure you discuss potential side effects of cancer chemotherapy with your doctor or healthcare provider.
Injection therapy: The modern age of such drug therapies began in 1993 when the injection of papaverine (Pavabid), an alpha-blocker that produces vasodilatation (widening of the blood vessels), was shown to produce erections when injected directly into the penis. Soon afterward, other vasodilators, such as prostaglandin E1 (PGE 1) monotherapy (Caverject, Edex), PGE1 and phentolamine (Regitine), and Trimix (papaverine, phentolamine and prostaglandin E1), were demonstrated to be effective. The benefit of combination therapy is the decreased dosing of each with less side effects. Most important is the reduction of the prostaglandin PGE1 dosing, which is associated to the localized pain.
Some injectable formulations need to be refrigerated — yet another reason many men steer away from the needle option. Among ED treatments, injections are also the most common cause of extended erections — rigidity lasting more than four hours, also called priapism — which afflict about 3 to 7 percent of users, Kohler says. That condition, while easily treated with an adrenaline shot, requires urgent attention at a clinic or hospital. The cost of this ED treatment is $2 to $5 per injection.

SD in MS can be classified into three categories. Primary SD is due directly due to MS-related neurological deficits, secondary SD is related to physical impairments and symptoms or drugs used for MS treatment, and tertiary SD is due to the psychological, social and cultural problems attributed to MS (38). These classifications are important, and underscore the importance of addressing all the issues leading to SD not just the neurologic impairment.
ICI therapy often produces a reliable erection, which comes down after 20-30 minutes or with climax. Since the ICI erection is not regulated by your penile nerves, you should not be surprised if the erection lasts after orgasm. The most common side effect of ICI therapy is a prolonged erection. Prolonged erections (>1 hour) can be reversed by a second injection (antidote) in the office.

Biotech Company Pascal Biosciences and SōRSE Technology Announce Partnership for Cannabinoid Drug Development and Cancer Clinical Trials
Biotech Today — September 15, 2020 in News 0 Likes	55 Views Share	 Tweet on Twitter Share on Facebook Google+ Pinterest
SEATTLE & VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Pascal Biosciences Inc. (TSX.V:PAS) ("Pascal") and SōRSE Technology Corporation ("SōRSE") have entered into a Collaborative Research Agreement to advance Pascal's PAS-393 into clinical testing. Pascal and SōRSE will share their respective technologies to test the cannabinoid PAS-393 in human volunteers, enabling testing of cancer patients treated with checkpoint inhibitors.
As initially announced last March, this partnership leverages SōRSE's industry-leading formulation technology with Pascal's proprietary cannabinoid programs for clinical trials. This will be the first pharmaceutical use of the novel formulation technology developed by SōRSE. The agreement will include Pascal's intellectual property, which covers the use of cannabinoids in cancer patients treated with checkpoint inhibitors.
SōRSE currently sells and licenses a proprietary water-soluble cannabinoid emulsion technology (patent-pending) that enables increased bioavailability, accurate dosing, and more than 12 months' shelf stability. Pascal and SōRSE scientists will optimize a cannabinoid formulation for human subjects and will then test the formulated PAS-393 in volunteers. SōRSE will provide $750,000 in research funding to Pascal throughout the 15-month collaboration and will pay for related research expenditures.
Following characterization of safety and pharmacology in a Phase 1a clinical trial, Pascal and SōRSE may elect to continue clinical development as equal partners in a Phase 1b cancer trial in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor. Dr. Gray will present scientific data this September 15th at the 3rd Annual International Cannabinoid-Derived Pharmaceutical Conference occurring in Boston, MA; the topic of his presentation is "Identifying and Validating Mechanism of Action In vivo/vitro."
"At SōRSE, we're driven by our mission to help people better their lives through superior cannabinoid ingredients and delivery methods," said SōRSE CEO Howard Lee. "We were thrilled when Pascal Biosciences reached out to us in the summer of 2019 asking to use our emulsion in their research study on immune recognition markers on cancer cells. Today, we are excited to continue to support pharmaceutical studies of cannabinoids with Pascal and other world-class researchers."
SōRSE intends to collaborate with other researchers and product developers to study cannabinoids in other medical applications. Pascal will continue to pursue other non-cancer indications for PAS-393.
"This is an impressive step forward for both Pascal and SōRSE, and hopefully our product will be a significant help to patients," commented Dr. Patrick Gray, CEO of Pascal Biosciences. "This will be the first clinical trial for each company, and we look forward to a long, fruitful relationship."
About Pascal Biosciences Inc.
Pascal is a biotechnology company targeting innovative therapies for serious diseases, including COVID-19. Pascal is also developing treatments for cancer with targeted therapies for acute lymphoblastic leukemia and cannabinoid-based therapeutics. Pascal's leading portfolio also comprises a small molecule therapeutic, PAS-403, that is advancing into clinical trials for the treatment of glioblastoma, and PAS-393, an immuno-stimulatory cannabinoid to be used in combination with checkpoint inhibitor therapy. For more information, visit www.pascalbiosciences.com.
About PAS-393
Pascal recently discovered the unique capacity of its cannabinoid drug, PAS-393, to reverse a common immune-evading strategy adopted by many metastatic cancers. Thus, treatment with PAS-393 may restore the ability of the immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer cells. This activity is especially important for immune checkpoint inhibitors, which depend upon immune recognition of cancer for their efficacy. Pascal is advancing PAS-393 as a combination therapy with checkpoint inhibitors for the 50% or more of cancer patients not currently helped by the checkpoint inhibitors.
About SōRSE Technology Corporation
SōRSE Technology Corporation is a water-soluble emulsion technology designed for product developers to provide consumers with a better, more consistent cannabinoid experience with greater bioavailability, near-perfect dosing, shelf-stability, and safe ingredients. Its patent-pending technology converts oil into SōRSE, a proprietary water-soluble emulsion, for infusing CBD and other functional ingredients into beverages, food items, topicals, and medical applications. SōRSE Technology currently powers more than 45 leading products in the CBD space.

Q: TFS - User can only see certain branches within a Team Project I have set up security in TFS 2012 Team Projects. There is one user who can see parts of a Team Project (certain branches) that he otherwise should not see. I have checked the branch security as well and can't find anywhere why that user should have access to it. It also shows a weird plus sign in front of that Team Project for that user only where he can only see some branches and not the full team project.

A: figured it out. apparently user had checked out some files before we restricted the permissions and therefore once the user checked in their changes, they could not see these projects anymore.
