I see only Ashwin getting to 800 wickets: Muralitharan
01/14/2021 Comments Off on I see only Ashwin getting to 800 wickets: Muralitharan
Muralitharan feels Nathan Lyon, who plays his 100th Test from Friday, "may be not good enough to reach that far."
The legendary Muttiah Muralitharan only sees Ravichandran Ashwin achieving the 700-800 wicket mark among the current crop of spinners and feels Nathan Lyon, who plays his 100th Test from Friday, "may be not good enough to reach that far."
Muralitharan's stupendous record of 800 Test wickets remains very much intact with Shane Warne (708) and Anil Kumble (619) rounding up the top-three wicket-takers in the longest format.
"Ashwin has a chance because he is a great bowler. Other than that, I don't think any younger bowler coming in will go to 800. Maybe Nathan Lyon is not good enough to reach it. He is close to 400 (396) but he has had to play many, many matches to get there," Muralitharan was quoted as saying in a Michael Vaughan coloumn for the London-based Telegraph.
Ashwin has 377 wickets in 74 Tests at an average of 25.53 while Lyon, among the best Australian spinners of all-time, averages 31.98 in 99 Tests. He is four shy of the 400-wicket mark.
Leaving aside Ashwin and Lyon, there is a dearth of world-class spinners in the modern game. The Sri Lankan great put that worrying trend down to change in batsmen's approach compared to his playing days.
"The problem in Test cricket is that Twenty20s and One-Day Internationals have changed the dynamics.
"When I played, the batsmen were technically so good and wickets were flat; now, they try to finish matches in three days. The bowlers in my day had to do extra work to get spin and do something magic to get results. Nowadays, if you bowl line and length over a period of time, you will get five wickets. It is guaranteed because batsmen cannot stay for long without attacking," he said.
Muralitharan played in the era of Warne, Kumble, Saqlain Mushtaq, Mushtaq Ahmed and later on the likes of Harbhajan Singh burst on to the scene.
"You have a better chance of taking wickets, which is why spinners only have to set the field properly, bowl line and length and let the pitches and batsmen do the rest. Spinners used to have to work hard for wickets, which is why they worked hard on developing other deliveries," said Muralitharan. "Now they do that in T20 cricket instead. They bowl different variations because batsmen are coming after them. But in Test cricket you don't need to do it."
Muralitharan played only one series with the DRS, against India in 2008, and believes it could have added to his incredible haul of 800 if he could use the technology.
"We beat them easily (India). I would say I would have had more wickets [with DRS] because it would have been hard for batsmen to use the pad."
He said, "If I came round the wicket to a right-hander and if he missed the ball, there was a 90 per cent chance the ball would hit the wicket. But umpires were judging that it was not out because it was hitting the front leg."
"Batsmen had the benefit of the doubt. Not now. Maybe runs are less now because DRS gives the advantage to the bowler. I can remember when you played us – if you hid the bat and kicked us away now, you would be out. With DRS, they will say whether you played a shot or not. You will be out if the ball hits the wicket, added Muralitharan.

Social media is vpsme the internet as the next big and important think when it comes to reaching out to customers and potential customers and improving brand image. Many new linux hosting social medial sites pop up all the time but they don't always make it in the mainstream. Some of the most profound sites for social media marketing that simply cannot be vmware hosting overlooked include Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google Plus and Slideshare.
The days of using Facebook simply to connect with family and friends have changed. Today, Facebook is used by businesses to create strong brand image, to shed light on new products or services, to promote a brand and to become more involved with potential customers and clients as well as with existing customers. Facebook is one social media marketing site that many businesses are now using on a daily basis to help improve the online presence and brand image while learning about customer needs along the way.
Who would have thought that something so simple—saying what you want to say in 140 characters or less—would take off so far? With millions of users and hundreds of millions of tweets being sent out each day, Twitter is a must be place for social media marketing. Many companies choose to use more than one Twitter profile so that they are able to interact with customers, potential customers, other members of the company and other areas of the social world on different levels.
A picture says a thousand words right? So why not post hundreds of pictures for the world to see? This social media marketing site is especially great for companies that are selling products that are best visualized as well as for those in the travel, food and restaurant or entertainment industry. Pinterest allows you to post images of what's happening in your business, what you like, what you're doing or pretty much anything you want—for the world to see!
Social media marketing probably wouldn't be complete if Goolge didn't at least have some say in what goes on! Google Plus is a relatively new social media site but it's quickly sweeping the net. Let's face it, Google likes to rank sites that are in their network and Goolge Plus is just that! Google Plus is very similar to Facebook and some of the other social media sites allowing users to create Circles and groups of friends, colleagues, or followers who share in similar interests.
Social media marketing isn't only about sharing your latest event or photo—for businesses, Slideshare provides a way to showcase to the world what they are talking about. Slideshare is a platform that allows users to post their presentation slides for others to see and to share. Marketers and business owners who are passionate about a particular subject can create a presentation on the subject, post the slides to Slideshare and portray their message to all who want to see. Slideshare is fun for mixing interactive messages, photos, slides and presentations into the social media marketing mix.

The Fund's Mission
The Arizona Supreme Court established the Client Protection Fund ("CPF" or "the Fund") in 1961 to promote public confidence in the administration of justice and to preserve the legal profession's integrity by reimbursing people who have lost money because of dishonest conduct of lawyers admitted and licensed to practice in this state.

To File a Claim:
All Client Protection Fund claims must be submitted on the official "Claim for Relief" form with supporting documentation, available below:

CLICK HERE to download the Fund's Declaration of Trust (Rules/Claim Criteria)
What is the Client Protection Fund and how is it funded?
The Client Protection Fund is a trust that is an entity separate from the State Bar of Arizona, but exists as part of the State Bar's business structure. The Client Protection Fund's Board of Trustees receives, holds, manages, and disburses money from the Fund. The Fund is not funded by taxpayer dollars. Each lawyer licensed to practice law in Arizona contributes a yearly assessment to the Fund. That money is invested, which allows the Fund to pay more claims. The Trustees can pay up to $250,000 in claims against one lawyer, and up to $100,000 per claimant.
Who administers the Fund?
A five-member Board of Trustees administers the Fund. The State Bar of Arizona Board of Governors appoints the four lawyers and one non-lawyer who volunteer their time. In addition, the Fund Administrator and other State Bar staff help the Trustees administer claims.
The Trustees evaluate claims, determine if they are eligible for payment, and compensate eligible claimants. The Trustees invest Fund money in accordance with the State Bar Board of Governors' investment policies. Each year the Trustees prepare and present an annual report to the Arizona Supreme Court and the State Bar Board of Governors.
Who is eligible to receive money from the Fund?
People who have had a lawyer-client relationship with a lawyer
People who have had a fiduciary relationship with a lawyer that is customary and related to the practice of law, such as an administrator, personal representative, executor, trustee, guardian, or conservator
Who is not eligible to receive money from the Fund?
The present or former spouse of the lawyer
The child, parent, grandchild, grandparent, or sibling of the lawyer, whether by blood or marriage
Partners, associates, co-shareholders, or employees of the lawyer
Any surety or bonding agency
Any business entity controlled by the lawyer
Any governmental entity or agency
Medical providers or other third parties with claims against the lawyer
Any business entity, however, the Trustees may approve payment of a claim that has been filed by a small, family-owned and operated business.
Large companies and corporations are not considered eligible claimants
What types of losses are eligible for reimbursement?
Losses caused by the "dishonest conduct" of a lawyer, which is defined as:
Wrongful acts such as theft or embezzlement of money
The wrongful taking or conversion of money, property or other things of value
Refusal to refund unearned fees received in advance when the lawyer performed no services or such an insignificant portion of the services agreed on that the refusal to refund the unearned fees could be considered a wrongful taking or conversion of money
A lawyer's intentional dishonest or deceitful conduct that leads to the loss of money or property
What types of claims are not eligible for reimbursement?
Claims based on the lawyer's negligence, incompetence, or malpractice
Claims based on disputes about fees charged when the lawyer performed more than an insignificant amount of work
Money a claimant gave to a lawyer for investment, loan, or any other purpose that did not arise from a lawyer-client relationship
Claims requesting reimbursement for interest, legal fees paid to other lawyers, damages, or other expenses
Is there a time limit for filing a claim?
CPF claims must be filed no more than five years from the time the claimant knew, or should have known, of the lawyer's dishonest conduct. The Trustees, in their sole discretion, may consider claims filed after the time limit has expired.
What happens after I file my claim?
The Fund Administrator will review your claim. If additional information is needed, it will be requested in writing. When all of the necessary documentation is submitted, the Administrator will investigate your claim and determine if it is is eligible for consideration.
If the Fund Administrator determines that the claim is not eligible for consideration, you will be notified in writing. You then have 30 days to request reconsideration. All requests will be forwarded to the Board of Trustees for reconsideration. If the Trustees deny your request for reconsideration, you will be notified in writing. That decision is final and there is no further appeal process.
If the Fund Administrator determines that your claim is eligible for consideration, a notice of claim and a copy of your claim will be sent to the lawyer, who is allowed 30 days to respond. If the lawyer submits a response, a copy will be sent to both you and the Trustees. Your claim will then be investigated and scheduled for consideration at a future board meeting.
If the Trustees vote to pay your claim, and certain conditions apply (as described above), then the Fund will issue a check to you. The certain conditions are that the lawyer must have been, for at least six months, dead, disbarred, on disability inactive status, suspended for longer than six months, placed on interim suspension, or convicted of a felony arising out of the facts alleged in your claim. If your claim has been approved, but is not yet eligible for payment, payment will be held until one of the events listed above occurs.
If the Trustees deny your claim, you will be notified in writing and given an opportunity to request reconsideration. If you do submit a Request for Reconsideration, it will be forwarded to the Board of Trustees for consideration at a future Trustee meeting. If the Trustees deny your claim, you will be notified in writing. That decision is final and there is no further appeal process.
How long will it take to process my claim?
Processing a claim may take approximately six months to a year, or more, due to the eligibility requirements, investigation process, or the status of any discipline proceedings against the lawyer.
May I file charges with any other entities?
Claimants should call the State Bar's Attorney Consumer Assistance Program ("A/CAP") at 602.340.7280 for more information about filing disciplinary complaints against lawyers.
If your lawyer has died, you may be able to file a claim against the lawyer's estate. Please contact the Clerk of the Superior Court for your county or the county in which the lawyer worked and ask if a probate matter has been filed in the lawyer's name. The Clerk's office also can help you to obtain the forms you need to file a claim against the lawyer's estate. **NOTE: Not filing a claim against the lawyer's estate will not automatically disqualify your Client Protection Fund claim, however, the Trustees prefer that claimants attempt to recover their loss from any other reasonable sources before filing a claim with the Fund.
Persons involved in a fee dispute with a lawyer may contact the State Bar's Fee Arbitration Program at 602.340.7379.
Claimants may also contact the Arizona Attorney General's Office at 602.542.5025 in Phoenix, or 520.628.6504 in Tucson.
Claimants may have other options, and may wish to consult with a lawyer to determine what course of action to take.

Mental health challenges for students topic of summit
Posted on Thursday, November 19th, 2020 by Collaborative for Educational Services
Source: Mary Byrne, Greenfield Recorder
David Sullivan at Safe and Healthy Schools Summit
School and mental health professionals met Wednesday morning for the Safe and Healthy School Summit for a discussion on ways to mediate the mental health challenges faced by students in the community.
"So much has changed since we first started planning this," said Northwestern District Attorney David Sullivan, noting that when they began a year ago, the first topic that came to mind among planners was mental health needs of students. "When we look at where we are today, we never could have imagined how this pandemic would affect students and also the community as a whole."
The three-hour discussion Wednesday morning — which brought together school administrators, school nurses, teachers, counselors and psychologists — addressed the mental health challenges young people are facing and the ways they can be supported.
The summit, which was presented by the Northwestern District Attorney Office, was originally set for the spring, but was rescheduled to an virtual format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event was co-sponsored by the Collaborative for Educational Services, SPIFFY and Communities that Care coalitions, and the Quaboag Hills Substance Use Alliance.
"How timely this is to get an insight into how we can deal with the stressors that are with students, and to try to move forward with some really good ideas and plans for addressing mental health needs," Sullivan said.
Following Sullivan's opening remarks, Jordan Burnham, a nationally recognized mental health speaker and advocate, spoke to the more than 100 people on the call about his own experience as a student with depression.
"I was diagnosed with depression at 16," Burnham said. "I didn't know what that meant because my friends and I would say 'depressed,' 'depression,' (and) 'depressing' so much, that I didn't know what the difference was."
When he speaks to students, Burnham said, he explains that anyone, at any point in time, can "feel depressed."
"For me, someone having depression, I can wake up one day and have no idea (why)," he explained.
Burnham started seeing a therapist in 10th grade. In his junior year of high school, at the same time he was struggling with the pressures of school, he was also having trouble with friends and his girlfriend. That year, he was admitted to a behavioral hospital.
"I always have to remind my students that I still have to take care of myself … especially during this time period," he said. Factors
Meghan Harding, the family engagement specialist for the Bridge for Resilient Youth in Transition Network and a senior lecturer at Smith College School for Social Work, shared the factors currently affecting the mental health of students — the COVID-19 pandemic, election-related anxiety, and racial trauma.
"A huge number of mental health issues in young people are undetected and untreated," she said. "If we tie that back to, again … how do we help students understand what a school counselor is, and what's possible there?"
She said the global health pandemic has changed the way we do things — go to school, go to work.
"If last year … mental health in schools, the rhythm in schools, looked so different than it does now, what does that invite us to consider?" Harding asked. "Part of what that says is, we can do things differently. These aren't ideal conditions, but we were able to pivot."
When Sara Neuenschwande, a guidance counselor at Mohawk Trail Regional School, asked Burnham how school staff can better encourage students to share their stories so that, like him, they can get help they need, he spoke to the idea of "normalizing" talk therapy.
"I think normalizing the idea of talking to a counselor is the biggest one," he said, adding that it also helps for students to know the difference between depressed versus depression. "We never heard from our school psychologist. Our counselors were only there for academic reasons. We had a school psychologist I did not know until my junior year, when I got back from the behavioral hospital."
He said the school psychologist was someone all students should be made aware of when they're welcomed to a high school.
"I wish I would have known I could have talked to my counselor on a good day," he said. "Now, I remind students I still see my therapist in a good time period, when things are going well."'Mental health literacy'

When AV Actually Meets IT Needs
By Cindy Davis (AV Network) 04 June 2018
Don't miss a social beat – follow #MyInfoComm2018 and make sure you visit Crestron located in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center at booth C2562.
Truly Converged AV over IP
Since we've been reporting on AV over IP, there's been an asterisk. Or more like a hammer from IT directors declaring "not on my network!" Enterprise networks are carefully guarded, as they should be.
The AV industry has spent a lot of time discussing latency and compatibly issues of networked AV, then preaching how AV folks need to become IT experts. Yet you could say we've only pontificated about AV/IT convergence.
Until now, AV over IP products were designed as digital iterations of analog products with matrix switchers and other devices requiring customized programming to communicate on a network. Because many AV over IP products are complex and bring with them too many variables such as bandwidth-choking video—as well as potential security holes—the easier and safer route has been to create an 'AV network.'
Is it really networked AV when it can't live on the enterprise network? Most would say no. Many IT directors would say they don't care, as long as it wasn't on their network.
What if AV solutions were developed so they needed to live on a standard 1-Gig Ethernet enterprise network, and that they needed to connect as easily as printers, and that security concerns were addressed?
Then …
Think of a world where AV integration expertise is directed to the areas that matter most. IT departments don't need to run duplicate infrastructure of cable and switches. Extra routers and extenders aren't needed, capital expenses are potentially cut in half, and everything becomes simpler. Sounds like truly converged networked AV.
AV Meets IT Needs
"IT folks who own the infrastructure want to minimize the number of things they need to manage and monitor," says Daniel Jackson, Director of Enterprise Technology at Crestron. "To do that, AV needs to truly converge with IT."
This is where Crestron's DM NVX enters the picture. "Running on a standard 1-Gig Ethernet, the DM NVX has multiple HDMI outputs and native USB 2.0 routing already built into the one box," says Alex Peras, Product Manager of DigitalMedia at Crestron. "The benefits that were already part of DigitalMedia, such as EDID, HDCP management, DSP downmixing and a lot more, are part of the new DM NVX."
With DM NVX, all AV can run on the building's existing Ethernet infrastructure, which saves an enormous amount of money by not needing to purchase and install new specialized cable such as CAT-6a, CAT-7, or fiber. "Not only is there a huge cost savings in labor, think of one box [DM NVX] replacing large, fixed matrix switchers, USB extenders, HDMI switchers, and extra encoders," says Peras.
Two reasons AV had been relegated to its own network were security concerns and that AV needed a proprietary infrastructure. With advanced compression technologies such as enabling 4K60 4:4:4 HDR on 1-Gig Ethernet and working with companies such as Intel (see "What's Inside" below), these concerns have been addressed with DM NVX.
"The DM NVX runs on the same Crestron control platform everyone is used to," says Peras. "And network-grade security is built in, including 802.1X, Network Access Control, SSH, TLS, HTTPS, and AES-128."
Configuration and deployment are easy using DM NVX Director, an enterprise-grade network appliance that provides a single point to monitor, manage, and control the entire DM NVX system from a web browser. NVX Director automatically discovers up to 1,000 endpoints, creates groups or domains, maps network addresses to user-friendly names, troubleshoots, and more.
AV Meets IoT
Device configuration, firmware upgrades, and monitoring via the cloud are in the IT wheelhouse. "DM NVX will have native support for Crestron's XiO Cloud," says Jackson. Crestron has confirmed the firmware upgrade for DM NVX will be available mid-June.
"The cloud is hugely important to our industry and will be critical to a deployment on shared infrastructure," says Jackson. "I think this will blow people's mind with the ability to do what we call 'plug-in and provision.' You can remotely configure the device ahead of time and without ever physically touching it. Once the device is plugged in and can reach the service, it will pull down its complete configuration.
Anybody doing a deployment for scale can set all this stuff up ahead of time, and then it just plugs in, and you get the configuration." One of the biggest challenges of deployment is going through and verifying that everything actually works. "If management consultants came into our industry, it would blow their mind how much labor and effort has to go into deploying every single system. That's because as an industry we were forced to build things like the auto industry did before the Model T came along with the advanced production line. We as manufacturers needed to build better tools to enable the industry to grow. The ability to deploy, manage and monitor via the cloud is a game-changer," says Jackson.
IT Meets AV Industry Giant
With nearly 50 years experience, Crestron has risen as the leader in enterprise AV control, automation, and solutions. Although it's a privately held company, Crestron is no small firm. According to a January 2017 interview with Bloomberg, CTO Fred Bargetzi shared that Crestron was a $1.5 billion company. Most of that growth has come in the last six years; a 2012 Forbes article stated the company had $500 million in annual revenue.
"It wasn't that long ago we had a hard time getting the best companies to talk to us, because we just weren't to that scale," says Peras. "Now, it's radically changed. We have chip vendors and technology providers coming to us to help them with their roadmaps and guide them to build better solutions."
The relationship with Intel culminated in DM NVX. It is an iterative build (a significant one) upon DigitalMedia that has been widely deployed, and technology features evolving since its release in 2008. "Every piece of technology that was in previous DigitalMedia products are present in DM NVX network video solutions," says Peras.
In a statement in February 2017, Intel announced that the company was providing its Arria 10 FPGA devices for Crestron's DigitalMedia NVX (DM NVX) technology architecture, which was demonstrated at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) later that month.
What's inside Intel's Arria 10 FPGA device helped catapult DM NVX to the forefront and changed Crestron's networked AV story.
Nanometers, TFLOPS, and FPGAs
The AV industry may already have too many speeds, feeds and acronyms to remember—but the IT world wrote the book.
The field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit designed to be configured by a customer after manufacturing. The FPGA enables in-field firmware upgrades, eliminating the need for hardware upgrades and minimizing truck rolls.
"When programmable, customizable Intel FPGAs are built into these systems, they enable designers to re-architect enterprise networks to support collaboration for 4K, and ultimately [create] even higher-performance 8K networks," wrote Erhaan Shaikh, vice president and general manager of the Intel Programmable Solutions Group, in an article discussing the DM NVX launch.
The Arria 10 FPGA spec sheet is a veritable what's what of AV performance: 4K60 4:4:4 10-bit high-resolution video scaler, visually lossless encoding/decoding, HDMI 2.0a connectivity, ultra-low-latency Ethernet, and TFLOPS of digital signal processing (DSP) performance.
Scale and Reliability
Crestron's growth has allowed the company to manufacture products at scale. "A lot of what we do today is automated manufacturing," explains Peras. "We have 3D X-ray machines to examine solder joints underneath chips where they aren't visible. These are complex manufacturing processes, and between that and our industry connections we're able to manufacture something that frankly is a lot more reliable than we would have been able to do five to 10 years ago."
DM NVX may be a new product, but its 10-years of development has paid off. "Our RMA rate is so low that I can't put a number on it," says Peras. "That's in large part due to the fact that we've been designing products for so many years, we take the things we've learned and put it into the NVX. It gave us that ability to perform."
It's a global world, and with scale comes a global supply chain. "We effectively control all the factories that make our products, and that gives us tighter control over the entire supply chain." Crestron has 90 regional offices around the globe and three distribution warehouses located in the United States, Belgium, and Australia. "Smaller companies have to go through distribution, making it more difficult to ensure quality," adds Peras.
With rapid growth comes large-scale challenges. "We're at the stage now where we've sold so many NVXs that Intel is running out of supply of the particular chips we need. With the scale we're at now, and with our relationships, we're able to solve it with our supply chain," concludes Peras.
AV/IT
Intel and Microsoft have booths at InfoComm, and it's clear these IT giants have more than taken notice of the AV industry. It's an exciting time.
Make sure you visit Crestron during InfoComm at booth C2562 to discuss these topics and learn how AV now runs on the enterprise network.
During the two weeks following InfoComm, watch for the last two of six installments of the InfoComm Networked AV Series, in which Jackson and Peras discuss Successful Web Collaboration, and Networked AV via The Cloud.

HomenewsBritish wife of multi-millionaire found dead at luxury villa in Spain
British wife of multi-millionaire found dead at luxury villa in Spain
The wife of a British multimillionaire has died suddenly while on holiday in Menorca.
Elsie Mogford, 37, passed away in a hospital on the Spanish island on Tuesday, August 24. She was rushed to an unnamed hospital but the medics could not save her and she was declared dead. It is not yet clear what caused Mrs. Mogford's death.
Elsie had been married to Steve Mogford, 65, the head of United Utilities, for two years. She married Mr. Mogford in June 2019 after his first wife, Barbara, 61, died from breast cancer in 2016.
Mrs Mogford, who had posted images from their holiday including photos of her sunbathing on their £2 million yacht, is suspected to have died after a heart attack.
The horsewoman leaves behind two sons, aged 15 and 11, from a previous marriage. Mr. Mogford has two daughters with his first wife.


Immune thrombocytopenia (THROM-bo-si-toe-PE-ne-ah), or ITP, is a bleeding disorder. In ITP, the blood doesn't clot as it should. This is due to a low number of blood cell fragments called platelets (PLATE-lets) or thrombocytes (THROM-bo-sites).
People who have ITP also may have bleeding that causes tiny red or purple dots on the skin. These pinpoint-sized dots are called petechiae (peh-TEE-kee-ay). Petechiae may look like a rash.
The photograph shows purpura (bruises) and petechiae (red and purple dots) on the skin. Bleeding under the skin causes the purple, brown, and red color of the purpura and petechiae.
People who have ITP also may have nosebleeds, bleeding from the gums during dental work, or other bleeding that's hard to stop. Women who have ITP may have menstrual bleeding that's heavier than normal.
A lot of bleeding can cause hematomas (he-mah-TO-mas). A hematoma is a collection of clotted or partially clotted blood under the skin. It looks or feels like a lump.
Bleeding in the brain as a result of ITP is very rare, but can be life threatening if it occurs.
In most cases, an autoimmune response is thought to cause ITP. Normally, your immune system helps your body fight off infections and diseases. But if you have ITP, your immune system attacks and destroys its own platelets. The reason why this happens isn't known.
ITP can't be passed from one person to another.
The two types of ITP are acute (temporary or short-term) and chronic (long-lasting).
Acute ITP generally lasts less than 6 months. It mainly occurs in children—both boys and girls—and is the most common type of ITP. Acute ITP often occurs after a viral infection.
Chronic ITP lasts 6 months or longer and mostly affects adults. However, some teenagers and children do get this type of ITP. Chronic ITP affects women two to three times more often than men.
Treatment depends on the severity of bleeding and the platelet count. In mild cases, treatment may not be needed.
For most children and adults, ITP isn't a serious or life-threatening condition.
Acute ITP in children often goes away on its own within a few weeks or months and doesn't return. In 80 percent of children who have ITP, the platelet count returns to normal within 6 to 12 months. Treatment may not be needed.
For a small number of children, ITP doesn't go away on its own and may require further medical or surgical treatment.
Chronic ITP varies from person to person and can last for many years. Even people who have severe forms of chronic ITP can live for decades. Most people who have chronic ITP can stop treatment at some point and maintain a safe platelet count.
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a fairly common blood disorder. Both children and adults can develop ITP.
Children usually have the acute (short-term) type of ITP. Acute ITP often develops after a viral infection.
Adults tend to have the chronic (long-lasting) type of ITP. Women are two to three times more likely than men to develop chronic ITP.
The number of cases of ITP is rising because routine blood tests that can detect a low platelet count are being done more often.
You can't prevent immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), but you can prevent its complications.
Talk with your doctor about which medicines are safe for you. Your doctor may advise you to avoid medicines that can affect your platelets and increase your risk of bleeding. Examples of such medicines include aspirin and ibuprofen.
Protect yourself from injuries that can cause bruising or bleeding.
Seek treatment right away if you develop any infections. Report any symptoms of infection, such as a fever, to your doctor. This is very important for people who have ITP and have had their spleens removed.
Your doctor will diagnose immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) based on your medical history, a physical exam, and test results.
Your doctor will want to make sure that your low platelet count isn't due to another condition (such as an infection) or medicines you're taking (such as chemotherapy medicines or aspirin).
During a physical exam, your doctor will look for signs of bleeding and infection. For example, your doctor may look for purplish areas on the skin or mucous membranes and pinpoint red spots on the skin. These are signs of bleeding under the skin.
A complete blood count. This test checks the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in your blood. In ITP, the red and white blood cell counts are normal, but the platelet count is low.
A blood smear. For this test, some of your blood is put on a slide. A microscope is used to look at your platelets and other blood cells.
You also may have a blood test to check for the antibodies (proteins) that attack platelets.
If blood tests show that your platelet count is low, your doctor may recommend more tests to confirm a diagnosis of ITP. For example, bone marrow tests can show whether your bone marrow is making enough platelets.
If you're at risk for HIV, hepatitis C, or H. pylori, your doctor may screen you for these infections, which might be linked to ITP.
Some people who have mild ITP have few or no signs of bleeding. They may be diagnosed only if a blood test done for another reason shows that they have low platelet counts.
Treatment for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is based on how much and how often you're bleeding and your platelet count.
Adults who have mild ITP may not need any treatment, other than watching their symptoms and platelet counts. Adults who have ITP with very low platelet counts or bleeding problems often are treated.
The acute (short-term) type of ITP that occurs in children often goes away within a few weeks or months. Children who have bleeding symptoms, other than merely bruising (purpura), usually are treated.
Children who have mild ITP may not need treatment other than monitoring and followup to make sure their platelet counts return to normal.
Medicines often are used as the first course of treatment for both children and adults.
Corticosteroids (cor-ti-co-STEER-roids), such as prednisone, are commonly used to treat ITP. These medicines, called steroids for short, help increase your platelet count. However, steroids have many side effects. Some people relapse (get worse) when treatment ends.
The steroids used to treat ITP are different from the illegal steroids that some athletes take to enhance performance. Corticosteroids aren't habit-forming, even if you take them for many years.
Other medicines also are used to raise the platelet count. Some are given through a needle inserted into a vein. These medicines include rituximab, immune globulin, and anti-Rh (D) immunoglobulin.
Medicines also may be used with a procedure to remove the spleen called splenectomy (splee-NECK-tuh-mee).
If medicines or splenectomy don't help, two newer medicines—eltrombopag and romiplostim—can be used to treat ITP.
If needed, doctors can surgically remove the spleen. This organ is located in the upper left abdomen. The spleen is about the size of a golf ball in children and a baseball in adults.
The spleen makes antibodies (proteins) that help fight infections. In ITP, these antibodies destroy platelets by mistake.
If ITP hasn't responded to medicines, removing the spleen will reduce the destruction of platelets. However, it also may raise your risk for infections. Before you have the surgery, your doctor may give you vaccines to help prevent infections.
If your spleen is removed, your doctor will explain what steps you can take to help avoid infections and what symptoms to watch for.
Some people who have ITP with severe bleeding may need to have platelet transfusions and be hospitalized. Some people will need platelet transfusions before having surgery.
For a platelet transfusion, donor platelets from a blood bank are injected into the recipient's bloodstream. This increases the platelet count for a short time.
For more information about platelet transfusions, go to the Health Topics Blood Transfusion article.
Some infections can briefly lower your platelet count. Treating the infection may help increase your platelet count and reduce bleeding problems.
Some medicines can lower your platelet count or cause bleeding. Stopping the medicine can sometimes help raise your platelet count or prevent bleeding.
For example, aspirin and ibuprofen are common medicines that increase the risk of bleeding. If you have ITP, your doctor may suggest that you avoid these medicines.
If you have immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), you can take steps to prevent complications. Lifestyle changes and ongoing care can help you manage the condition.
Try to avoid injuries, especially head injuries, that can cause bleeding in the brain. For example, don't take part in contact sports, such as boxing, football, or karate. Other sports, such as skiing or horseback riding, also put you at risk for injuries that can cause bleeding.
Some safe activities are swimming, biking (with a helmet), and walking. Ask your doctor about physical activities that are safe for you.
Take precautions such as regular use of seatbelts and wearing gloves while working with knives and other tools.
If your child has ITP, ask his or her doctor whether you need to restrict your child's activities.
You may want to find a doctor who is familiar with treating people who have ITP. For example, hematologists are doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating blood disorders. Discuss with your doctor how to manage ITP and when to seek medical care.
Talk with your doctor before taking prescription medicines or over-the-counter medicines, supplements, vitamins, or herbal remedies. Some medicines and supplements can affect platelets and increase your chance of bleeding. Common examples are aspirin or ibuprofen. Your doctor may advise you to avoid these medicines.
Watch for symptoms of infection, such as a fever, and report them to your doctor promptly. If you've had your spleen removed, you may be more likely to become ill from certain infections.
In women who are pregnant and have ITP, the ITP usually doesn't affect the baby. However, some babies may be born with or develop low platelet counts soon after birth.
The babies' platelet counts almost always return to normal without any treatment. Treatment can speed up recovery in the babies whose platelet counts are very low.
Treatment for ITP during pregnancy depends on a woman's platelet count. If treatment is needed, the doctor will take a close look at the possible effects of the treatment on the unborn baby.
Women who have mild cases of ITP usually can go through pregnancy without treatment. Pregnant women who have very low platelet counts or a lot of bleeding are more likely to have heavy bleeding during delivery or afterward. To prevent heavy bleeding, these women usually are treated.

Can't you just smell the testosterone?
My father had a quirky sense of humour. More than anything, at least it seemed to me as a child, he liked to get one over on me. Especially if there were witnesses. And every time he conned me, I fell for it.
When I was oh, maybe 9 years old, I remember sitting in his attached garage watching him do something or other while visiting with somebody or other.
They were trying to get something off of something else. Or on to something else. These details are hazy to me all these years later, most likely because of the psychological damage done to me that afternoon.
I see the funny side of this.
Way back then, though… Actually, I can still feel my stomach shrivel up a little bit at this memory.
And then I laugh, because it really was funny.
Whatever my dad and… ummm… let's call him "Dave"… were trying to do, it wasn't working out the way they wanted it to… These two big strong men couldn't get whatever-it-was on or off whatever-the-other-thing was, and my dad was getting pissed off. He was starting to cuss under his breath.
I waited, anticipating the ultimate in my father's pissed-off-ed-ness to culminate in his utterance of the ultimate of swear words.
He rarely got that upset, but when he did, that's the word he would invoke to make whatever he wanted to happen, well… happen.
He never raised his voice when he said it. He said it like he would tell the dog to sit. There was command in his voice, but he would say it as if he knew without a doubt that the command would be followed, and the command was generally followed immediately.
I grew up knowing that "C***T" was a Magic Word.
My dad never said it to people or animals. This Magic Word was reserved for uncooperative inanimate objects only: the car that wouldn't start, the window that wouldn't open, or the thingamajig that wouldn't come off of the whozawhatsit.
And it almost always worked, like, well… Magic.
Down I walked to the Western Tire, and marched up to the counter. I presented the money to the proprietor, and asked for a can of elbow grease for my dad.
I don't know how that guy kept a straight face, but he did. He told me he was sorry, but he'd run out. He didn't expect to have any back in for another week. Hoped he wasn't inconveniencing my father too much.
None the wiser, I went back home and told my dad the Western Tire was all out of elbow grease. I couldn't figure out why that was so funny. I didn't care much, either, because my dad told me to go ahead and keep that $2 bill, to compensate me for my trip.
It wasn't until we were all at the supper table that I discovered I'd been had. My dad told the story to my mom, laughing to beat the band. My Brother the Trespasser had to leave the table, he was laughing that hard.
Mom gave Dad holy hell for making me go downtown and embarrass myself. Up to that point, I hadn't known enough to be embarrassed, but the more my Mom told him off, the more I wanted to crawl under the table. I think she might have been more embarrassed to have birthed such an idiot, than the idiot was to realize that you can't buy elbow grease at the Western Tire store.
I don't think I ever had the nerve to walk into the Western Tire ever again. It's no longer there, now, but if it was, I still wouldn't go in.
I'm sure the owner would laugh and ask me if I needed elbow grease.
How about going to the hospital supply department for a neck tourniquet? Have a great day.
Wow, your dad was handy and worked in the garage with his buddy and he played tricks on you and your whole family sat down and ate meals together. What a trip.
Les Says: Well…. THEY ate meals together. I generally hid under the table.
No, No! Just sharing the experience!
Actually, I thought maybe a spam-bot had been sending me a sales-pitch. Sorry about that. I left it up 'cuz I thought it was funny – guess I inherited that "quirky sense of humour", after all.
Glad to know you're human, Jan. Welcome to Where the Walls are Soft.
Aww, hell, Jan. I can't believe I fell for that. Yes. I JUST now caught on to the joke.
ROTFL! My mother DID birth an idiot, didn't she?
Hey Preston – that reminds me of the left handed screwdriver. And my husband always asks for left handed chopsticks.
Les Says: I'd settle for a decent pair of right-handed chopsticks.
Man that hurts. Because it is damn funny as a parent, but sorta humiliating as a kid. But we all know that past humiliation makes for damn good blog copy, don't we?
Les Says: It does at that. Makes me wish I hadn't burned all those diaries years ago. There would have been a gold mine of embarrassing moments.
Before I started my trade apprenticeship my Dad warned me about the tricks and what not so I was able to tell my bosses friend to go buy his own can of tartan striped paint (otherwise I'd have joined you under the table, Les lol).
… and walking around the bend in the road to see three fire trucks in the yard and flames shooting out the chimney.
Yeah. I have trust issues.
What does "You crept!" mean?
Les Says: I don't know, but it's a MAGIC word. Be careful with it.
It IS funny. But I'd never want to go back, either!
Les Says: Brrr! Me, neither!

Aiding China's Rural Educators | Community Involvement | Corning
Aiding China's Rural Educators
"Corning China's continuous participation in the iFly program demonstrates our company's commitment as a contributing corporate citizen." — Li Fang, president and general manager, Corning Greater China
There was great turnout for the 2016 event.
Corning's commitment to learning in China is growing along with a key program that brings rural teachers to the city each summer for two weeks of intense training and encouragement from private-sector supporters. Aiding the iFly program for a fourth year, Corning not only continued support of Shanghai efforts but helped with the launch of a Beijing-area initiative.
This summer, iFly Shanghai welcomed 167 teachers from Xinjiang, Hubei, Jiangxi, and Yunnan while iFly Beijing embraced 150 teachers from Inner Mongolia, Hunan, Guangxi, and Sichuan. A total of 800 local citizens and organization representatives welcomed the teachers. During the Shanghai program, the teachers attended museum visits, lectures, and city tours in both Shanghai and Suzhou. For the Beijing program, in addition to lectures and tours, the teachers spent time at China's top universities — Tsinghua University and Peking University.
iFly Facts
Founded in 2007, iFly marked its 10th year of continuous efforts toward improving rural education.
iFly has brought to its training programs in Shanghai and Beijing over 1,900 rural teachers from more than 10 provinces and towns in central and western China, benefiting around 300,000 students nationwide.
The program has been widely supported, with over 50 volunteer lecturers, more than 800 hosting families, over 200 participating companies and organizations, and roughly 8,000 volunteers.
Spreading the Glass Age Message
At the Shanghai training, Corning China was glad to have the opportunity to host a one-hour iFly Public Lecture for the teachers. Corning's director of Emerging Business Development in China, offered a lecture called 'Drive into the Glass Age,' which introduced the history of glass, its current applications, and the future possibilities that Corning aims to investigate.
The vivid presentation and the cutting-edge technologies drew the teachers' attention. They actively took part in the Q&A section and offered creative ideas possible uses of different types of glass.
Spending Time with Teachers
'Hosting Rural Teachers at Home' enabled Corning's manager of Information Security & Office Management at Shanghai RHQ, to spend a day with one of the Corning-sponsored teachers. He joined the teacher from Yunnan Province on a culture tour in Shanghai, covering landmarks such as the Shanghai Museum, Yu Garden, and Xintiandi.
"The diversity of the group was exciting," he said. "Hundreds of enthusiastic Shanghai citizens and rural teachers from Xinjiang, Qinghai, Guizhou, and Yunnan were teamed up for a day of discovery in Shanghai, getting a taste of its people and culture. I hope that more and more families will join us in this event next year."
Sharing Gifts and Advice
Fulfilling the 'children's wish list' has always been a popular iFly event among Corning employees. This summer, colleagues from various sites in China sent along their gifts and greetings including books, basketballs, sport shoes, and clothes.
Other colleagues wrote responses to the 'ideal wish cards,' encouraging children's ambitions, such as becoming a doctor or a rural teacher in the future.

Charter a Luxury Private Jet Aruba for the Trip of a Lifetime!
Aruba is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the southern-most Caribbean Sea, located about 990 miles west of the main part of the Lesser Antilles and just 18 miles north of the coast of Venezuela. It measures 20 miles long from its northwestern to its southeastern end and 6 miles across at its widest point. Together with Bonaire and Curaçao, Aruba forms a group referred to as the ABC islands. Collectively, Aruba and the other Dutch islands in the Caribbean are often called the Dutch Caribbean and private jet Aruba is the most common of the bunch.
Aruba is one of the four countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands, along with the Netherlands, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. The citizens of these countries all share a single nationality: Dutch. The capital of Aruba is Oranjestad, often referred to by many on the island as simply "Playa". You can see the European influence on Aruba in both its architecture, in which Dutch gables mingle with tropical pastels, and language, with English, Dutch and Spanish spoken alongside the local tongue, Papiamento.
Aruba differs from most other islands in the Caribbean region, with a dry climate and an arid, cactus-strewn landscape. This climate has helped tourism and private jet charter to Aruba visitors to the island can reliably expect warm, sunny weather any time of year.
The island is generally flat and riverless, with blonde sandy beaches on the western and southern coasts of the island, relatively sheltered from fierce ocean currents. This is where most tourist development has occurred. The northern and eastern coasts, lacking this same protection, are considerably more battered by the sea and have been left largely untouched by humans. The inland features some rolling hills, the best known of which are called Hooiberg at 541 ft and Mount Jamanota, the highest on the island at 617 ft above sea level.
To the east of Aruba are Bonaire and Curaçao, two island territories which once formed the southwest part of the Netherlands Antilles. This group of islands is sometimes called the ABC islands. They are located on the South American continental shelf, so while they are considered to be part of the Caribbean, they are geographically listed as part of South America.
The Natural Bridge was a large, naturally formed limestone bridge on the island's north shore. It drew many taking private jet charter to Aruba as a popular tourist destination until its collapse in 2005. Visitors now must suffer through white sand and cool ocean breezes, sun and surf. In addition to many recreational options on land and on the ocean, Aruba is also known for its many opportunities to dive with and feed all types of different sharks, like the (gentle) Whale Shark shown here, and the even hold and feed certain varieties of the many nearby.
Our first-class jet charter concierge service will handle every detail of your trip for you, from arranging the in-flight catering menu, to having luxury ground transportation waiting for you on the tarmac when you arrive.

Becoming a Sage: A Conversation with Kay Scorah
Jann Freed January 23, 2023 podcast Leave a Comment
A short history of Kay:
"After graduating in Biochemistry from King's College, London I spent a year in the Max Planck Institut fur Biophysik in Frankfurt, and with 2 published papers in learned scientific journals under my belt, I made the rather unexpected move into market research and advertising (where I stayed for far too long!).
By the age of 32 I had been on the board of directors of 2 London ad agencies and a contributor and assistant producer on the BBCTV social history series on advertising and society, "Washes Whiter".
For 2 years in the late 1980s I lived in Venice, California working as a strategist with clients and ad agencies, while also studying improvisation and acting at the Beverly Hills Playhouse. I have also studied and continue to study drama and dance improvisation with a range of teachers, and have a teaching diploma from Yoga Therapy Ireland.
I set up my company, havemorefUnlimited, in 1989, and with the encouragement and support of my clients shifted the focus of my work towards helping people from different backgrounds and cultures to communicate more precisely and clearly. I'm also a faculty member at Modern Elder Academy and LBCWiseCounsel (leadership development for legal professionals).
In November 2019 I curated and funded the Turning the Tables conference in West London – where some of the young people whom I've had the good fortune to meet through my voluntary work with refugees, knife crime victims and cancer patients, took to the stage to teach the rest of us how to deal with extreme uncertainty and life changing events. Links to their talks are here.
I have created, produced and performed in 3 fringe theatre shows; Never Look in the Mirror When You're Dancing (Dublin and New York), TimeBomb (Dublin) and A Strong and Beautiful Thread (London). The last of these with my business partner and adventure buddy, Dr Paul Loper. I also write and perform standup comedy and science comedy for NerdNite London."

Self -Assembly Between Biomacromolecules and Lipids

Title: Self -Assembly Between Biomacromolecules and Lipids
Author(s): Liang, Hongjun
Doctoral Committee Chair(s): Wong, Gerard C.L.
Department / Program: Materials Science and Engineering
Discipline: Materials Science and Engineering
Subject(s): Engineering, Materials Science
Abstract: Anionic DNA and cationic lipsomes can self-assemble into a multi-lamellar structure where two-dimensional (2-D) lipid sheets confine a periodic one-dimensional (1-D) lattice of parallel DNA chains, between which Cd2+ ions can condense, and be subsequently reacted with H 2S to template CdS nanorods with crystallographic control analogous to biomineralization. The strong electrostatic interactions align the templated CdS (002) polar planes parallel to the negatively charged sugar-phosphate DNA backbone, which indicates that molecular details of the DNA molecule are imprinted onto the inorganic crystal structure. The resultant nanorods have (002) planes tilted by ∼60° with respect to the rod axis, in contrast to all known II-VI semiconductor nanorods. Rational design of the biopolymer-membrane templates is possible, as demonstrated by the self-assembly between anionic M13 virus and cationic membrane. The filamentous virus has diameter ∼3x larger but similar surface charge density as DNA, the self-assembled complexes maintain the multi-lamellar structure, but pore sizes are ∼10x larger in area, which can be used to package and organize large functional molecules. Not only the counter-charged objects can self-assemble, the like-charged biopolymer and membrane can also self-assemble with the help of multivalent ions. We have investigated anionic lipid-DNA complexes induced by a range of divalent ions to show how different ion-mediated interactions are expressed in the self-assembled structures, which include two distinct lamellar phases and an inverted hexagonal phase. DNA can be selectively organized into or expelled out of the lamellar phases depending on membrane charge density and counterion concentration. For a subset of ion (Zn2+ etc.) at high enough concentration, 2-D inverted hexagonal phase can be formed where DNA strands are coated with anionic lipid tubes via interaction with Zn2+ ions. We suggest that the effect of ion binding on lipid's spontaneous curvature is sufficient to explain the lamellar to inverted hexagonal transition. Finally, we studied the interaction of anionic DNA with zwitterionic lipids at the presence of multivalent ions. Polymorphism of phases was found depending on lipid's intrinsic curvature. The anionic lipid-DNA and zwitterionic lipid-DNA complexes are currently emerged as new types of gene delivery systems with low cytotoxicity.

Movie Review: Curve (2015)
by StevenHelmer
A review of the 2015 thriller starring Julianne Hough and Teddy Sears.
Synopsis: A soon-to-be bride decides to take the scenic route while moving to Denver and her fiance's truck breaks down on the side of the road. When a stranger offers her assistance, she decides to give him a ride. However, when he later refuses to get out of the truck and threatens her with a knife, she decides to drive off a curve an an effort to escape him. This proves to be a mistake as he escapes unharmed and leaves her trapped inside the truck with no way of letting people know where she is.
Who's In It?
The movie stars Julianne Hough, Teddy Sears, Penelope Mitchell, Drew Rausch and Madalyn Horcher.
My wife had a company party last night but, even after getting the kids from my parents' house afterwards, we found we still had time for a short movie. Since this film sounded somewhat unique, I decided to give it a try and it turned out to be pretty good.
At first, I wasn't really sure what this movie would be about. From the description on Netflix, I figured she would drive the truck off the road and the rest of the film would be her trying to escape on foot. That, however, wasn't the case. Instead, the movie was about her trying to survive inside the wrecked truck with a trapped leg and her psychopath passenger returning every so often to torment her.
One thing I liked about this film was the fact they made Mallory (Hough) tougher than I was expecting her to be. A lot of times, these films will make the female characters a little too weak. Mallory, however, seemed to be willing to take the necessary steps to survive. This started out with her trying to cooperate with her tormentor, Christian (Sears). When that didn't work, she started fighting back whenever he showed up. The latter was the most entertaining because I wasn't sure how he was going to react to it.
In addition to dealing with him, she ended up taking some steps I wasn't really expecting, such as killing, cooking and eating a rat and even resorting to drinking her own urine. Again, it's not something you normally see characters (especially female characters) do in films like this and I quickly gained respect for her.
The fact her leg was pinned inside the truck also kept things interesting because it was unclear how she was going to be able to escape. The most obvious way (as Christian points out to her) is to cut off her leg. But, I wasn't sure if she would actually do that or if she would find some other way of freeing it. This especially became an issue when it starts to rain/flood.
I was a little concerned the ending of the movie would be dragged out a bit too much. But, as it turns out, that actually was pretty entertaining as well, especially when she ends up facing Christian. I was glad about this because it was nice seeing such a good movie have a strong finish.
Julianne Hough (Safe Haven) stars in this horror-thriller as a young bride-to-be who deliberately crashes her car off a deserted highway in an attempt to escape from a charming,...
This is a very good psychological thriller that has some bad language (I wouldn't recommend watching this with the kids) but not a lot of excessive blood and gore. I do recommend taking the time to watch it if you get a chance to do so.

I honestly don't know. I didn't see any indication of that when I watched it (unless it was hidden at the end of the credits).

Côte d'Or may be small in size but its influence is huge and it can strike terror into the heart of even the most seasoned wine professionals. Côte d'Or is located in the very heart of Burgundy and stretches for a narrow 35-mile band. It's on this terroir that some of the world's best known wines are produced. There are two main sections. The Côte de Nuits, named after the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges, is a mere one mile by 12 miles but it's home to 24 Grand Cru vineyards and some of the world's most expensive vineyard real estate. This is the northernmost region, starting just south of Dijon and running to Courgoloin, a few kilometres south of Nuits-Saint-Georges and it grows mainly Pinot Noir and other red grapes. It is responsible for some of the great names of French wine, Gevrey-Chambertin, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune itself. The second part, the southerly Côte de Beaune, is well-known for its whites but actually grows both Chardonnay and red grapes. One of the most famous villages in the Côte de Beaune is Pommard, known for its heavy, full-bodied reds.
It's an intimidating terroir but Raymond Blake's companionable Côte d'Or shows clearly how illusory those confusing labyrinths are. There is hardly another wine region where knowledge of the back-story is so critical to understanding the wine, for it is impossible to understand burgundy without reference to the place it comes from and the people who make it. Côte d'Or tells the whole story of Burgundy and paints a complete picture of life there: the history, the culture, the people, the place, the geography and the climate. Blake transports the reader to the heart of Burgundy.
