"Writing on the Walls"
VIEW CONTENT WARNING
Jules glanced down at his left hand; spread the fingers, turned it back to front. A few scars marred the ivory flesh, pale-pink ridges where the skin hadn't quite grown together evenly. He flexed the fingers. There was a trace of stiffness in the formerly dislocated knuckle, but the hand, as far as he could tell, was functioning well enough.
He was lucky as hell it had been his left.
"Practicing your moves, Philosopher?"
Jules glanced up at the now-familiar sight of Cyrano, his satchel slung over his shoulder, free hand in pocket, goggle-imprints comically ringing his droopy puppy-dog eyes. Nodded absently over the Apprentice's shoulder to Durand and Nadia as they respectively gave the peace sign and saluted on their way out of Lab #1—quickly tucked his left hand in his pocket to hide the scars.
"Oh, no, wait, that would be the other hand, wouldn't it?" said Cyrano. "I'm so stupid. Drinks?"
Jules hesitated. It had been another fruitless day in the lab, and now he only had six more before his self-imposed deadline. He'd told himself he'd stay late tonight, try to make the most of his time, but he had to acknowledge that, especially after last night, his mind and body were shot. He was shit out of ideas at the moment, and all he wanted to do was pass the fuck out and forget everything for a while.
But going back to the suite wasn't the most appealing prospect. That morning with Max had been weird. She of course hadn't remembered wilding out, and Jules hadn't told her about his injury, which had already pretty well healed by then, but which he'd done his best to hide from her anyway (and, to his relief, she hadn't seemed to notice). She did, apparently, remember what he'd told her about the circumstances of her birth, but she'd refused to talk about that, or about the developments in the rift. She'd just wanted sex. And for the first time ever, Jules really, really hadn't, but he hadn't had the heart to refuse her, because he didn't know how much time he had left with her, and—he'd later reluctantly admitted to himself—he was terrified of what might happen if he told her no. So he'd faked his way through it…bullied into silence the part of himself that wanted to throw her off and bolt for the door.
"Yeah," he found himself saying. "Why don't you go ahead and save me a seat at the bar? I might come back down here later, so I'm just gonna throw some of my things in my office."
"Sure thing, dude."
Jules lingered a moment, watching the Apprentice as he shuffled off down the hall. It was unexpected, this awkward little bud of a friendship with Cyrano. Jules wasn't sure where it was coming from—there was obviously some mystery behind it that he figured would unfold itself with time; at the least, it was plain Cyrano had layers—but, in any event, it was nice having someone take an interest.
Especially when—as much as he didn't want to admit it to himself—it was starting to feel like Max, for now, was no longer with him.
Jules dropped off his things in his office, made his way to the Alfheim Grille.
He and Cyrano sat side by side at the bar for at least five minutes, nursing their drinks in silence while the low din of happy-hour chitchat rumbled around them.
"I'm sorry," they both began at the same time, then laughed weakly.
"You go first," said Jules.
Cyrano shook his head. "You."
Jules hesitated. "I was just saying I'm sorry I'm so out of it. Max took a bad turn last night. And…yeah, I don't know. It was rough."
"Dude. I'm sorry to hear that. What happened?"
Jules stared at his empty glass, realized the bartender was looking his way and tapped the bar. "Well, her, uh…her mind is starting to go."
"Christ, man." Cyrano's big brown eyes were sympathetic. "I don't know what to say. I can't even imagine."
"What is there to say? I mean…it's nice that you give a shit."
Cyrano gave a weak smile. "What did you say she has again?"
Jules hesitated. His drink arrived in front of him. "I…didn't."
"Oh." Cyrano paused. "… Is it cancer? Same as my mom?"
Jules didn't like lying to friends. But he also didn't trust Cyrano enough quite yet to tell him the unedited truth. "We…don't really know what's wrong with her, exactly. It's an illness the doctors haven't seen before."
"Fuck. That's the worst." Cyrano leaned closer, lowered his voice. "Magic or mundane?"
"Magic."
"So she probably gets her treatment at the Enclave, right?"
"She's been treated there, yeah. I mean, if you can call it treatment. They really have no idea what to do for her."
"Man. That's so fucked up. I'm surprised they're not keeping her for study or something."
Jules just nodded. Cyrano looked at him a moment, as if waiting for him to say more, then turned back to his drink.
"Anyway," said Jules. "We've established I'm a huge bummer right now. What's your thing?"
"My thing?"
"You've seemed out of it these past few days too."
"Nah, dude. I'm fine. Just kinda tired, getting over being sick and all."
Jules didn't believe this, but he could relate to wanting privacy, so he didn't pry.
"Can I ask you something random?" said Cyrano, a few seconds later.
"Shoot."
"It's pretty personal. So you don't have to answer if you don't want to."
"Is it about me being trans?"
"No. I mean, no? I don't think so."
Jules smirked. "Just ask."
"Okay. So, like…you were engaged to Hunter Lockwood."
"Oh," said Jules.
"Sorry—sore subject?"
Jules took a gulp of his gin and tonic. "Just ask the question."
"Okay. Like…I mean…were you actually into him? 'Cause, like…you like girls, right?"
"I'm gonna leave Hunter out of this conversation. Because I think you're just asking am I straight."
Cyrano hesitated. "I guess."
"Gender doesn't seem to be all that important when it comes to whether I'm attracted to someone."
"Oh, okay. So you're bisexual?"
"I like the term pansexual. More inclusive."
"Gotcha. That's when you like guys, girls, and people who aren't either…right?"
"Right. I wouldn't say I'm either myself, actually. I just prefer male in social settings, if I'm forced to pick."
Cyrano eyed Jules as if he were processing this.
"Why do you ask?" Jules drained his glass.
"Just curious." Cyrano shrugged. After a beat, he asked, "How did you first know you were…er. I mean, I guess I don't know what gender you were into first."
"Girls," said Jules.
"Okay. So did you think you were a girl back then?"
"Yeah. Didn't know I had the option not to be."
"So when you were a little kid, you were just like, yeah, I'm a girl, and I like girls."
"I mean, I wasn't that happy-go-lucky about it. I was pretty freaked out, since my parents clearly wanted to set me up with boys and have me pop out heirs and stuff. And also none of the other girls I knew seemed to be into girls. But yeah, I always knew I liked girls."
"When did you know you liked boys too?"
"Sixth year."
"So you were, like, twelve."
"Which one was more confusing for you? Liking boys or liking girls?"
"They both were. I always knew I liked girls, but I felt like I wasn't supposed to. And by the time I found a boy I liked, I'd liked only girls for so long that I thought it was part of who I was. So suddenly liking a boy felt scary. Like I didn't know who I was anymore."
"Yeah," Cyrano murmured to himself.
Jules eyed him. "Why so curious about all this?"
Cyrano winced. "Sorry, man. I'm being super nosy."
"If I had a problem with it, I wouldn't answer. Just wondering if there's a reason you're thinking about this kind of stuff."
Cyrano shrugged, shook his head.
Jules raised an eyebrow. "Fair enough."
After a moment, Cyrano said, "Have you…ever had feelings for somebody who was…bad for you?"
Jules stared at the bar in front of him. "Haven't we all?"
Cyrano frowned into his drink. "I guess so."
Jules studied Cyrano a moment, then finally gathered up the nerve to say something more.
"You know, I'd love to meet your girlfriend sometime," Cyrano cut him off.
"Oh." Jules hesitated. "She's… She doesn't really socialize these days."
"Oh, right. 'Cause she's sick. I'm so stupid."
"It's okay. I really wish you could meet her. She's amazing."
"Yeah, she sounds it."
Jules glanced at the time, threw a twenty on the bar. "I better head back to the Enclave. I have a lot of research to do tonight."
"You really burn the candle at both ends, man. You should let me know if you ever need help. Things being how they are with Max, it really sucks you don't get to spend more time with her."
Jules wavered for a moment. "That's…good of you. But I couldn't ask that."
"I really don't mind."
"This is kinda specialized stuff anyhow. Not that I don't think you're up to it. Just…I'd need to train you. You know. It's faster if I do it myself."
Cyrano studied him. "Gotcha."
"See you tomorrow, man."
"Yeah…see ya."
Jules stopped into Archives on his way back to the mole tunnels, shot the shit with Draven briefly. Didn't bring up last night—he was pretty sure nothing about it was useful information anyway. Max had episodes where something tried to take over. Every time it happened, the rift grew. There was nothing there Draven didn't already know.
As he made his way back to his office, Jules's ears picked up a commotion—people murmuring, giggling among themselves in hushed tones.
Warily, he rounded the corner into the last stretch of corridor.
"Okay, break it up." Nadia was pulling Jules's office door closed behind her. "Those of you who were working, get back to work. The rest of you, go home." She froze at the sight of Jules, her dark eyes round behind her half-rimmed glasses. The heads of those gathered swiveled toward him, a dozen-ish echoes of her stare.
"Something wrong, Master-Savant?" asked Jules.
Nadia hesitated, then waved her hand frustratedly at the onlookers. "Shoo. All of you. Go."
"Master-Savant Winter outranks you all." Jules advanced down the hall. "Do as she says."
The small group of alchemists scurried past him one at a time in the narrow hallway, a few of them snickering. Jules didn't like the way Silas Eads and Teddy Grenville stared him in his eyes, the way they brushed up against him as they passed.
He reached Nadia as the last few stragglers vanished around the corner. "Let me guess—some kind of prank?"
At the look in her eyes, his stomach turned. Something in it was a little too much like pity.
Jules pushed past her into his office. "Ha'iru."
The globes blared to life at the same time the stench hit his nostrils.
Most of the books from the shelves and the files from his desk lay in a jumble in the floor, their pages damp, ink smudged and bleeding.
Writ large on the wall facing him, in blood-red ink, was the phrase,
DIE TRAITOR
and, among the smaller inscriptions surrounding it,
KHMUN LOVER
Jules took a robotic step into the room.
Turned his eyes reluctantly toward the shrine to the Adamas.
Painted on the torso of the now-headless bas-relief were the words,
TRANNY FREAK
"I feel like this is partly because of me," came Nadia's hushed voice, seemingly miles away, from the doorway. "Because you promoted me."
"No." Jules's own voice sounded distant, too. "None of this is about you, or anyone else from Khmun. Like me, you just make a convenient target."
"I'll help you clean this up."
Jules pushed up his left sleeve. His tattoos were already glowing. "I can do it much more efficiently on my own." Another pause. "But thank you for offering, Master-Savant. You may go."
Nadia hesitated, then gave a little nod and vanished from the doorway.
Jules crouched down, began the work of alchemically purifying and drawing the moisture from the pages. He proceeded matter-of-factly, his focus dedicated singularly to his task.
In the course of his efforts, some DNA sequences stuttered past his inner eye.
Two individuals…Y chromosomes…predominantly European ancestry…
His mundane sight focused as he came across the rare text he'd been consulting most recently for the nulla materia project, along with the notes he'd taken from it so far.
Almost all of it was ruined beyond recovery.
Jules had the good sense, just in time, to aim the plume of brimstone at the dismembered sculpture, instead of those precious pages that might yet contain a few salvageable secrets.
The distinctive Greek-fire thunderclap rent the air. Jules's fists trembled at his sides as he watched the headless figure wither in its shroud of blue flames, flooding the air with noxious smoke.
He stifled the conflagration with a snatch of his left hand before it had a chance to spread to the walls.
The alchemist stood for a beat, breathing heavily, letting the black poison scald his lungs.
He sensed eyes on his back. Turned to find Nadia once more standing in the doorway behind him. "Sorry. Couldn't help but hear." Her hand was cupped over her nose and mouth, but he could still make out a tremor in her voice. "You sure you don't need help, Philosopher?"
"Actually, just lock it up. I'll deal with this later." Jules cleared the air of smoke with a tracing of his tattoos, blew past her out of the room.

Lamborghini Aventador S Will Look Like This ?
A few days ago, it emerged that Lamborghini had trademarked the name Aventador S, believed to be in preparation for the facelifted model hitting the market.
Although spy shots have hinted at a few styling changes, they've been far from conclusive. Thankfully, Lambo CARShas put together a host of renderings providing a look at what shape the new Aventador S may take.
In these renderings, the model has a front fascia and bumper design that sits somewhere in between the current Aventador and the range-topping SV. Additionally, there are new side skirts and fixed rear quarter air intakes similar to the SV.

What does "Good Wi-Fi" mean in 2019?
Wi-Fi has been known by 802.11g/n/ac, now the Wi-Fi Alliance has introduced Wi-Fi 6. We've had Wi-Fi around for quite some time, but we're heading into a new era for Wi-Fi. We are rewriting the book on how to have reliable and performant Wi-Fi. In addition, Wi-Fi networks are playing more and more of a role in mobile services with that important growing as 5G, IoT and more become more prevalent. The days Wi-Fi being relatively simple are gone, and it's the responsibility of both consultants and IT to be ready. This session will help you answer the call for "good Wi-Fi" in 2019.
Cloud, cloud, cloud. The image is meant to convey advanced, cushy, flexible and extensible solutions. But, with all the benefits, there are some real dangers that many have just ignored. Forefront of the list is how do you create a backup strategy when everything is in the cloud? Are you currently relying on that single source provider providing cloud services to also backup your data -- mission critical or otherwise? The tools have been limited to date, but we're finally seeing some good methodologies to backup the cloud. Come hear about the ingredients you need to know to create the right recipe for those you support.
With all that we've seen in recent years with disasters: fires, hurricanes, storms and more -- continuity planning is no longer a nicety, it's a very real need. Planning for continuity also can also play into how you can be "Cyber Resilient" as part of a security plan. Continuity Planning can be daunting because there are so many ways things can go wrong, but with today's technologies, it's actually easier than ever. Even better, there's daily benefits that have nothing to do with continuity or disaster. In this session, we'll talk about how you can ensure that things can keep running when disaster strikes, and their everyday benefits.
The command line is one of the most useful tools for techs, but it can be daunting for some. And, even those that have mastered it have been looking for a way for users to benefit from their magic. Finally, we have a real solution. Apple's Swift programming language is most widely used for iOS and macOS development in Xcode. Swift can also be used like a traditional Unix shell script. This session will cover the basics of getting started with Swift at the command line. It's easier in a lot of ways than bash scripts, and you can now create a double clickable application for use by those you support.
Security concerns are everywhere -- and the regular stream of news about breaches validates the concern. Yet despite that, 90% of small business don't use any data protection, and when they are attacked, 60% go out of business within six months of the breach. Enterprises get this too -- but also aren't as thorough. We understand the problem, but what's the solution? Security needs to be simple, usable, and without getting in our way. The old mantra of "inside = trusted" is an antiquated concept as network breaches continue to soar. Zero Trust Networking (ZTN) is a more Mac like way of thinking about security -- helping to integrate security from the ground up, not bolted on after the fact. This session will lay the foundation for ZTN, and help you to understand the successful ways to protect those that rely on you.
With Apple's latest introduction of the iPad Pro, what does this mean going forward for mobile users? In this session we will explore how this platform can integrate into your daily workflow and see how working with this new platform brings new concepts on storage along with opportunities to integrate parts of your business you may not be aware you can do from this new mobile computer.
Replacing OS X Server: What are your options?
With each recent version of macOS, Apple has moved more and more of the services in OS X Server to the base macOS. Often, the technology is the same, but the user interface for these services is different and geared more towards a general use case, than what you'd like as a server. Time Machine, File Server, and even security features have all been removed from the Server App interface -- and it's likely time for people to consider replacements. As Apple signals the sunset of OS X Server, we will cover potential replacements including open source alternatives, cloud-based services, network attached storage, Security as a Service, and/or other solutions.
MacTech Pro events have carefully selected sponsors to interact with you with the most useful products and services for you, the professional Apple tech and consultant.

Q: How to inject implementations from another module I'm having a project based on Dagger 2 which consists of two modules. The core module includes some interfaces and some classes that have member injections declared for these interfaces.
The actual implementations of these interfaces are included in the second module which is an Android project. So, naturally the provide methods for these are included in the Android project.
Dagger will complain during compilation about not knowing how to inject these in the core module.
Any thoughts on how to achieve this without using constructor injections?

A: In short, I just tried this, and it works. Be sure to check the exact error messages and make sure you are providing these interfaces and @Inject annotations are present.
There is probably just some wrong named interface or a missing annotation. Following up is a full sample using your described architecture that is compiling just fine. The issue you are currently experiencing is probably the one described in the last part of this post. If possible, you should go with the first solution though and just add those annotations.
The library
For reproducability this sample has minimalist models. First, the interface needed by my class in the library module:
public interface MyInterface {
}

Here is my class that needs that interface. Make sure to declare it in the constructor and provide the @Inject annotation!
@MyScope // be sure to add scopes in your class if you use constructor injection!
public class MyClassUsingMyInterface {
    private MyInterface mMyInterface;

    @Inject
    public MyClassUsingMyInterface(MyInterface myInterface) {
        mMyInterface = myInterface;
    }
}

The idea is that the interface will be implemented by the app using MyClassUsingMyInterface and provided by dagger. The code is nicely decoupled, and my awesome library with not so many features is complete.
The application
Here need to supply the actual coupling. This means to get MyClassUsingMyInterface we have to make sure we can supply MyInterface. Let's start with the module supplying that:
@Module
public class MyModule {

    @Provides
    MyInterface providesMyInterface() {
        return new MyInterface() {
            // my super awesome implementation. MIT license applies.
        };
    }
}

And to actually use this, we provide a component that can inject into MyTestInjectedClass that is going to need MyClassUsingMyInterface.
@Component(modules = MyModule.class)
public interface MyComponent {

    void inject(MyTestInjectedClass testClass);
}

Now we have a way to provide the requested interface. We declared that interface needed by the library class in a constructor marked with @Inject. Now I want a class that requires my awesome library class to use. And I want to inject it with dagger.
public class MyTestInjectedClass {

    @Inject
    MyClassUsingMyInterface mMyClassUsingMyInterface;

    void onStart() {
        DaggerMyComponent.create().inject(this);
    }
}

Now we hit compile...and dagger will create all the factories needed.
Inject Libraries you can not modify
To just provide the full scale of dagger, this sample could also have been without actual access to the source code of the library. If there is no @Inject annotation dagger will have a hard time creating the object. Notice the missing annotation:
public class MyClassUsingMyInterface {
    private MyInterface mMyInterface;

    public MyClassUsingMyInterface(MyInterface myInterface) {
        mMyInterface = myInterface;
    }
}

In that case we have to manually provide the class. The module would be needed to be modified like the following:
@Module
public class MyModule {

    @Provides
    MyInterface providesMyInterface() {
        return new MyInterface() {
        };
    }

    @Provides
    MyClassUsingMyInterface providesMyClass(MyInterface myInterface) {
        return new MyClassUsingMyInterface(myInterface);
    }
}

This introduces more code for us to write, but will make those classes available that you can not modify.

Econophysics: A challenge to econometricians
Zapart, Christopher A.
The study contrasts mainstream economics–operating on time scales of hours and days–with behavioural finance, econophysics and high-frequency trading, more applicable to short-term time scales of the order of minutes and seconds. We show how the central theoretical assumption underpinning prevailing economic theories is violated on small time scales. We also demonstrate how an alternative behavioural econophysics can model reactions of market participants to short-term movements in foreign exchange markets and, in a direct contradiction of the orthodox economics, design a rudimentary IsingFX automated trading system.

Sea Creature of The Week: Southern Blue-Ringed Octopus
Don't let the vibrant blue rings of this octopus fool you. They're incredibly venomous and are one of the most toxic animals in the world, being strong enough to kill a person. But don't fret. They will only release their venom if they feel threatened by you. Otherwise, they aren't typically aggressive. Luckily for us, the United States doesn't have any octopuses, as they only range from the western Pacific to the Indian Ocean.
The Blue Ring Octopus or Hapalochlaena genus in the Cephalopods class has four different species. These octopus species are only about 8-10 inches in size. So how could a creature this tiny be so threatening? When alarmed, the octopus will flash their bright blue rings and use its venom to immobilize its prey in two different ways. Using their first venom gland, they bite their prey, usually consisting of crabs, and then inject the venom into that wound. From their second venom gland, they can release a cloud of venom into the water that, in turn, can enter through the gills of their prey. Medical and psychological research has been done on the venom these species produce since there is a tetrodotoxin neurotoxin found in the octopus' venom. According to the University of Michigan's Museum of Zoology, researchers are interested in the venom for its aphrodisiac effect and its ability to block voltage-sodium channels, so action potential in neurons is inhibited or reduced.
During the last assessment of the Blue-Ringed Octopus in July of 2014, the IUCN Threatened Species list assessed the global species of three of the Hapalochlaena genus as "Least Concern" since the octopus do not have an emphasis on conservation efforts as the species is still abundant in the wild and far from being listed as "Threatened." The Hapalochlaena nierstraszi is listed as "Data Deficient" since only two specimens have been caught and described, and little information is known about them.
While certainly a beautiful creature, be sure to only admire it from afar if you ever find yourself along the coasts of the western Pacific or the Indian ocean.

And you should do #3 right away!
What if I told you that a part of the money you spend on marketing is wasted? Of course if this is what you want to do you may just close the page. The good news is that there are many ways to optimize the advertising budget, and the most effective and global one is to start using inbound as your marketing strategy.
Inbound marketing is the buzzword you may find in many marketing articles now, but what stands behind it? This is a promotion method that attracts, engages, delights and, most importantly, does all this through useful content and builds trust of the business. So if you are ready to start here are seven inbound marketing techniques every business should use.
Inbound strategy, oh wait… every marketing strategy should start from your audience research. Who are those people? What do they like? Where do they live? So many questions and you have to know the answers.
And don't focus on just one group, most of the businesses definitely have more than one type of customers. Make segmentations, so you won't advertise dog food to cat owners. Identify your buyer personas, think about their history, names, age, even names. It will be easier for you to understand for whom and for what purpose you are writing the content if you have a specific person who displays a whole segment of your customers in mind. And this is the first step towards saving your company's resources.
Targeted advertising is great. No, really! Especially when you have defined your audience and know which channels to use to communicate with it. But, this kind of ads is becoming more expensive while people are paying less attention to it. It does not mean that you need to stop all promotions, it is time to find new resources. It could be influencers: opinion leaders of all possible types.
For some reason, many companies still imagine bloggers as those who write about beauty or for kids. This is an erroneous opinion, in every sphere there are quite a lot of influencers. Why do I think cooperation with them is inbound marketing? Well, these guys have already done a fairly large piece of work for you – they made a research about the audience and found a niche of influence. You just need to add the right message and build a smart integration. It could be both direct advertising in their profile and content making, such as guest blogs or podcasts. I will tell you about it a bit later. What to do if you have already integrated ads with all experts in your field or you are not ready to work with bloggers? The next point is for you!
It doesn't matter whether you cooperate with influencers or not, it's time to start working on a personal brand: it is much easier to trust a company when it has a face. Don't be surprised, this way of promotion is used not only by Apple and Microsoft but also by many startups around the world. You have two ways: to develop your personal brand as a company or to promote your company through your personal brand. In any case it is much easier to show expertise through a person than through a company, cause inbound is about trust also.
Briefly: communicate with your users online. Answer all the questions and work with negative emotions under all your posts ads. High-quality communication is to track all company's mentions (especially when users are not tagging you) and respond directly on the user's page. Believe me, your followers would like it. By the way, it is not necessary to do it manually, there are many special tools to make this kind of communication and make it inbound.
For some reason many marketers consider guest blogs just from one side, but it works in both directions. You can write your expert opinion in other people's blogs referring to your company, and guest authors can write for your blog. Win-win.
And I will be brief again, because this point is more than obvious: free eBooks will not only bring useful information to your customers but also increase brand sympathy. In addition you can increase the email database (certainly with the permission of the user) and advertise your services with the help of these materials.
As I have already mentioned, content is the king in the inbound world, without having it useful and high-quality you will not be able to build the right communication with the client. That is why I believe that content marketing is the main part of inbound. For all these years people got tired of the unuseful and boring posts, so valuable content became crazy popular. On social networks, in your newsletter and blogs, you need to be useful everywhere. I will never sign up for an account in social networks or a newsletter which will simply fill my feed with useless advertising, photos with a description of a product and quite boring texts. Always remember the "attract, engage, delight" formula.
Point number eight, a bonus one. I would like to share a very useful idea: stop doing everything by yourself. It is impossible to be an expert in all areas, hire someone or contact an agency. Konvertigo as an international online marketing agency is familiar with the challenges of inbound marketing and marketing research, moreover we know how to optimize your budget and how to stop wasting your money. So it's time to get a comprehensive inside view into the target markets and implement the best online promotion strategy based on the findings. And may the force of inbound marketing be with you!

International Public Health in Indonesia
A Health indicator is a distinctive character of a population, an individual or environment which is subjected to measure either directly or indirectly and can be used to describe the quantity and quantity of health of a population or individual. Health indicators define the health problems in a particular population in a given point of time. It defines the differences in health population and the extent to which the population can assess objective programs to combat the health problems. Health indicators include measurements of diseases or illness which is used to measure the total health outcome of a given population.
It also measures the positive aspects of a given population's health and behavior for example quality of life, health expectancy or life skills. Indicators can also measure economic and social conditions related to health and a population's physical environment, healthy public policy and health literacy (Evans & Stoddart 372). Health indicators can also measure both health promotion outcomes and intermediate health outcomes.
Generally, Health indicators capture the key dimension of health in a given population such as the number of people suffering from heart attack or chronic diseases or how often patients assess hospitals for medical care and treatment. The following illustrates health indicators in Indonesia providing a good description of health situation in the country and how the health indicators relate to Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
Indonesia is a Southeast Asia and Oceania county comprising of approximately 17, 508 islands (Ricklefs 11). Indonesia is ranked number four in the world in terms of population. The country has 238 million people with 300 ethnic groups in 33 provinces speaking 350 different languages spread all over the islands (Ricklefs110). Indonesia being a republic has got an elected president and legislature. The country shares borders with Malaysia, East Timor and Papua New Guinea.
Indonesia has a politically dominant population with distinct ethnic, religious and linguistic groups with the largest being Javanese. Indonesia became a united country after developing a national language which defines it and a national motto Bhinneka Tunggal Ika meaning many, yet one (Schwarz 98). Majority of the population consists mainly of Muslims. However, despite being densely populated region, the country is one of the few regions where one can still see broad territories of wild nature which are considered to be the second highest biodiversity in the world (Schwarz 100). Poverty is widespread in Indonesia despite having richly natural resources.
Health strategies and policies in Indonesia
The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare in Indonesia created Healthy Indonesia 2010 which allows the country to collaborate with others since health is a responsibility which is shared. Indonesia's Government agencies and department, community and private sectors have taken the mandate to take care of health concerns of the population (Taylor 168). Some of the basic goals that Healthy Indonesia 2010 wants to achieve are: promote self-reliance within the public as a way to achieve government health, enhance and maintain quality, affordable and accessible health care services, initiate and lead health directions of national development and finally enhance and maintain family, individual and public health by improving the environment (Clevan 145).
Indonesian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare enacted two new fundamental Acts namely Act No. 25/1999 on Financial Balance between Central Government and Local Governments and Local Governance which is Act No. 22/1999. These two Acts are used to legalize the implementation of a decentralization policy which gives Indonesia's districts and provinces large sovereignty to take control over their homes except foreign affairs, monetary and fiscal, defence, religion and justice (World Health Organization 111). With the new set National health Development Vision and Mission statements, as well as on the basis of the policy of decentralization, four main issues were agreed upon in order to serve as a basis for Strategy for National Health Development formulation.
These include: professionalism, decentralization, Community Managed Healthcare Programme and initiation of health-oriented national development. However other programmes in the nation are also supported despite identification of the four major elements which act as pillars of Strategy for National Health Development.
Health Indicators in Indonesia
Indonesia is ranked the fourth country with the highest population in the whole world with the total population of 234.2 million with a Gross national income per capita of 3600. The life expectancy at birth m/f yearly is 66/77 while the probability of dying of children under the age of five per 1000 live births is 39. The probability of dying between the age of 15 and 60 m/f is 234/143 per 1000 population in Indonesia. The total health expenditure per capita is 99 while the total health expenditure as % of GDP is 2. 4.
According to Clevan, "Indonesia is regarded to have relatively adequate level of provision of health care services with 30 000 people having one public health care centre" (67). This covers large variations in accessing the geographic position of the health centre. Those who live in the small islands or remote interior have poor access to health care services hence you find that there is high death rate in such regions. The leading factors are the shortage in the number of human resources in the health services, as well as there is poor distribution of the health workforce (Clevan 65). The Ministry of Health RI and its partners in Indonesia are striving to make sure that there are sufficient emergency systems that are ready to respond in case of emergency in the nation (Klementiev 68). They are also aiming at reducing the regional health crisis in the health care centre.
According to the World Health Organization, communicable diseases are considered to be the prime causes of morbidity in Indonesia; nearly 250 people in Indonesia die of tuberculosis (TB) daily while they estimate that over half a million death cases is recorded every year the cause being tuberculosis (WHO 112). Malaria has affected large parts of the country, as well as there are often cases of dengue hemorrhagic which are also reported yearly in Indonesia. Indonesia is the third country that has the burden of leprosy among its population.
In 2008, high rate of fatality for avian influenza averagely 81% was recorded in Indonesia. The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare take all the necessary measures to control and prevent avian influenza among other infectious diseases that are spreading across Indonesia. The government of Indonesia has invested greatly on this project to promote good health among the large population. In 2005, the country experienced high spread of poliomyelitis in several provinces.
During the same year, there were reports of outbreak of diphtheria and measles which was mainly as a result of weakness in routine expanded immunization program in Indonesia. Many deaths reports was recorded mainly children under the age of 5 years were affected mostly. In 2006, approximately 293,200 Indonesians were reported to have HIV-AIDS. This was a report recorded by National AIDs Commission in 2009.
Indonesia is still having a challenge on how to deal with epidemiological alteration towards non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Indonesia has also had a burden dealing with chronic conditions such as cancer, metabolic disorders, tobacco dependence and cardiovascular diseases. This is because these chronic conditions are costly and cause a lot of suffering in human lives. Indonesia experienced a decline in productive days estimated to be about 12.3% as a result of neurological and mental disorders (Fahimi, Schwartz & Mokdad 102). This situation was exacerbate by tsunami which occurred in 2004; it had greatly influenced mental health of the affected population.
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were created to help eradicate health problems experienced by many nations all over the world. MDGs are international development goals which are eight in number; they are visions that 193 United Nation member states and 23 international organizations want to achieve by 2015 (Andy & Andrew 395). Eradication of extreme hunger and poverty is one of the goals of MDGs. Others are achieve universal primary education, combat malaria, HIV/AIDs and other diseases, develop global partnership to facilitate development, improve maternal health, reduce child mortality rates, ensure environmental sustainability and promote woman empowering and gender equality (Amir 319).
Relevant development indicators in Indonesia
Indonesia is doing its best to improve maternal health, child and new born health through health policy and financing. This is part of one of the major goals of Millennium Development Goals of improving maternal health. The main sources of funding of health care centers are the government and community. Those living in the remote islands in Indonesia are being focused more on. Maternal health services such as postnatal and childbirth care for babies and mothers are offered, basic obstetric care is also offered in health care centers in remote areas (Noeleen 10). Children between the ages of 6-23 months are put on complementary feeding together with their mothers with chronic energy deficiency (Halfon 132).
Social Safety Net Program targeting poor families was invented by Indonesian government as an effort to overcome impact economic crisis meant to improve the health status of children coming from poor families. About 12.985.128 poor families now own health card while as many as 48.7% estimated to be 6.815.501 poor families now have access to health facilities (Vickers 204).
The government of Indonesia is encouraging the population to use protection and family planning methods. Condoms are distributed in colleges and health care centers as a way of combating HIV/AIDs. The government also offer public teaching and free testing of HIV/AIDs to make people aware of the disease and also become aware of their status to avoid spreading the disease. Free treatment is also offered to those suffering from tuberculosis. Children are being vaccinated after a given period of time to combat measles and polio.
Indonesian government is offering free primary education and promoting girl child education as a way of achieving universal education. Women are also included in wage employment in nonagricultural regions to empower women and also to promote gender equality within the Indonesian population (Grown 85). The government has also improved sanitation in the urban population as a way of ensuring environmental sustainability. Having a clean environment will also keep the population healthy from diseases such as malaria, typhoid and diarrhea.
In conclusion, health indictor is important in many ways for example it plays a major role of capturing the key dimension of health in a given population measuring the positive aspects of a given population's health and behavior Through the health of health indictor, I have been able to address the health status of Indonesia and the challenges the country if facing.

Racial Geography Tour
Explore the history of the University of Texas campus
Littlefield Mansion
302 W 24th St, Austin, TX 78705
Built in 1893, the Littlefield house was the former home of one of UT's most renowned donors. From a slaveholding family before the Civil War, George Washington Littlefield went on to become a confederate officer, cattle baron, and banker. His fortunes, politics, and vision helped build the campus. He constructed his home across the street from the original 40 acres and it serves as the first stop on the tour. In this segment we learn about Littlefield's rise to power and wealth, as well as how he and other powerful Texans left their imprint on the University.

We're standing in front of Littlefield Mansion, opposite the original 40 acres of the University of Texas. If you look at the double row of oak trees, that run up and down 24th Street here and then down Guadalupe, and then down 21st Street, and then up Speedway, what's contained within that double row of oak trees is the original 40 acres. This was the land ceded by the City of Austin and decreed by the state legislature to be the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. It was created by the legislature to be a university of the first class. It was placed here on top the highest hill overlooking Austin coming up from the river. George Washington Littlefield established this mansion here in 1894, but the university itself was established in 1883, around the same that Littlefield originally took up residence in the city.
It's interesting to think a little bit about the time and events that brought Littlefield to this spot and that also led to the creation of the University of Texas. George Washington Littlefield was born originally in Mississippi, he and his family moved when he was nine to a plantation just outside of Gonzales, Texas. There they set up a number of cotton plantations, Littlefield himself was the owner of two such plantations by the time he was a teenager, and was the owner of a large number of enslaved people. When the Civil War started, Littlefield joined the Confederate Army, was signed as an officer, got injured, and then was made a major. For the rest of his life he was known as Major Littlefield.
At the end of the war, Littlefield tried to go back to farming cotton, but found it difficult both because he didn't have the enslaved labor necessary to make it work, but also because of the boll weevil and other natural problems. Littlefield as a sidelight had run cattle on his plantation. He began to expand that cattle herd until it became the basis of what was to become enormous wealth in the following decades. Sometime in the 1870s, he expanded his cattle operation in Central Texas, and actually owned land just south of here in Buda. Eventually he owned a vast amount of territory up in the Texas panhandle, and then subsequently he owned a large area in West Texas, and eventually a huge chunk of New Mexico where he ran longhorn cattle.
Littlefield's wealth and his geographic movements are closely coordinated with the expansion of the United States, and both the human and ecological changes that the expansion of the United States signified after the Civil War. In other words, when the Union Army was engaged as an army of occupation during the reconstruction period here in Texas, it was at the same time undertaking the expansion of the United States as a country westward. If you think about it, by the beginning of the Civil War, San Antonio, Austin, and Waco marked the frontier, the Western Frontier in Texas, with Native Americans occupying most of west Texas.
So right after the Civil War, the Federal Army began to push west. In pushing west, it eliminated the indigenous populations that have resided there. An enormous industrial machine pushed that westward expansion. The industrial infrastructure that was behind the North's victory in the Civl War, turned towards industrial production of commercial goods. One of the major features of this industrial expansion was the railroads.
So at the same time the Federal Army was moving west and taking more and more territory from Native Americans, the railways were following. Littlefield took advantage of this dual expansion, grazing his herds and land previously occupied by Native Americans and shipping them east on the railways after driving them north to Kansas. That scenario was enhanced by one other factor, as the nation pushed west in front of the railroads, frontier folks arrived adventurers, hunters, cattlemen, tourists, and began the massive destruction of the bison herds, which were in the tens of millions before the Civil War and were reduced to almost nothing within the next 30 years.
Littlefield took advantage of this massive ecological transformation of the plains, the decimation of bison herds left so-called virgin grassland that could be used by people like Littlefield to graze their longhorn cattle. By the time we get to the 1880s and 90s, Littlefield was a cattle baron and one of the richest people in the country. All made on the backs of longhorns.
So it's very fitting that the University of Texas's mascot is a Longhorn as much of the wealth that created the university came from the cattle industry. Although this is problematic when you think of the ways in which the wealth that Texas was built on the annihilation of Native Americans, the decimation of buffalo, and the expansion of industrial capitalism into the West, we still love our Longhorns.
Littlefield, having made his fortune in cattle ranching, came to Austin in the 1880s and early 1890s. He opened up a bank, he opened a hotel, he built this mansion, he became a regent of the University of Texas in due time. And the University of Texas became one of his abiding political and philanthropic interests as well, that's going to be of importance when we take this tour across campus. The Littlefield Mansion was his final home and one of his crowning joys.
The service people who work in the building have reported to me that there are slave quarters in the basement. That's not really possible because we know the Littlefield Mansion was built in 1894, well after the end of slavery. But we also do know that Littlefield employed many of his ex-slaves, particularly his manservant, Nathaniel Stokes, who lived to be 104 and who wept over his grave. So these are not slave quarters, but they may be the quarters of ex-slaves who were servants in the Littlefield Mansion.
So now, given that history, and actually a few tidbits more, if you look around you, to the right and to the left, this Littlefield Mansion was built in an area that, soon after its construction became a choice place for rich and upper middle class folks to build their homes. It became a very high-class residential area, and that's going to be important for some of the things we'll discuss in the future.
So we're going to now walk across the street and we'll pay special attention to both what we see and what we don't see. We're going to think about why it is that the spaces are constructed the way they are. Why it is that other spaces don't have particular kinds of structures in them, we're going to think about the kind of architecture that we see in the buildings, but also the kind of landscape architecture that we traverse. We're going to think about building names, we're going to think about building shapes, we're going to try to relay those things to the history of the University of Texas and specifically to the racial geography that's built within 'em.

The adrenal glands are two small triangle-shaped glands in the upper abdomen. One gland is located on top of each kidney.
Triangular-shaped glands located on top of the kidneys. They produce steroid hormones such as aldosterone, cortisol, and precursor sex steroids that can be converted into estrogen and testosterone. They also produce the hormones adrenalin (epinephrine) and noradrenalin (norepinephrine).
The adrenal glands are endocrine glands which are located immediately on top of the kidneys. During an adrenal biopsy, a small sample of tissue is removed and sent to the pathologist for testing. The biopsy can be performed when a suspicious mass or tumor is found on one or both of the adrenal glands.
Each adrenal gland is about the size of the top part of the thumb. The outer part of the gland is called the cortex. It produces steroid hormones such as cortisol, aldosterone, and hormones that can be changed into testosterone. The inner part of the gland is called the medulla. It produces epinephrine and norepinephrine. These hormones are also called adrenaline and noradrenaline.
When the glands produce more or less hormones than normal, you can become sick. This might happen at birth or later in life.
The adrenal glands can be affected by many diseases, such as autoimmune disorders, infections, tumors, and bleeding. Some are permanent and some go away over time. Medicines can also affect the adrenal glands.
The pituitary, a small gland at the bottom of the brain, releases a hormone called ACTH that stimulates the adrenal cortex to make its hormones. Pituitary diseases can lead to problems with adrenal function.
Conditions related to adrenal gland problems include:
Addison disease, also called adrenal insufficiency -- an autoimmune disorder that causes the adrenal glands to not produce enough hormones
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia -- disorder in which the adrenal glands lack an enzyme needed to make certain hormones
Cushing syndrome -- disorder that occurs when the body has a high level of the hormone cortisol
Diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar) caused by the adrenal gland making too much cortisol
Glucocorticoid medicines such as prednisone, methylprednisolone, dexamethasone, and hydrocortisone
Excessive or unwanted hair in women (hirsutism)
Hump behind shoulders (dorsocervical fat pad)
Hypoglycemia -- low blood sugar
Primary aldosteronism (Conn syndrome) -- disorder in which the adrenal gland releases too much of the hormone aldosterone
Massive bilateral adrenal hemorrhage (Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome) -- failure of adrenal glands to function as a result of bleeding into the gland, usually associated with severe infection, called sepsis

When is the right time to sell a Rolex watch?
The value of many Rolex models continues to increase, in particular when a Certificate of Authenticity and an official box is provided. As a result, the owner of a Rolex watch can be paid far more. When money is needed for an outstanding mortgage bill, a Rolex watch can be sold to the highest bidder. A Rolex watch can also be sold to pay for an overseas holiday. If many Rolexes are owned, an extended holiday can be enjoyed.
If there is less money than expected in a retirement fund, a Rolex watch can be sold. When a particularly rare Rolex watch is owned, it can be worth thousands of pounds. If a Rolex watch is sold on an internet auction site, its former owner can be paid within minutes. Although a cheque can be accepted, PayPal is an alternative. As PayPal is a very safe online payment system, bank details remain secure.
As university tuition fees continue to rise, a college student can continue their studies when a Rolex watch is sold. Even when a Rolex watch isn't rare, the cash that's obtained can cover the tuition fees for a lengthy degree. If many models weren't made, a Rolex watch can be sold for an even higher figure which, as a result, enables an undergraduate to study a post-graduate degree.
Many people in the UK have had to take a cut in their salary. The money that is lost can be replaced by selling a Rolex watch. Even if a salary was cut slightly, the money that's obtained via the sale of a Rolex watch can be relied on for several years. If a salary is expected to be cut furthermore, the decision to sell a Rolex watch will help for a long time.
As Christmas is very expensive, a Rolex watch can be sold in order to alleviate the financial pressures of this holiday. The money that's obtained after selling a Rolex watch can be used not just for buying food but also presents. By choosing to sell Rolexes months before Christmas, the best possible quote can be picked and not the first one that's given. When a lot of money is obtained through the sale of a Rolex watch, it can be used for buying every present. A family could even spend more than they have done previously because they have enough cash to do so.
