Much of the planet's land severely degraded owing to increased consumption, UN warns

A new United Nations report warns that a third of the planet's land is now severely degraded thanks to a doubling in the consumption of natural resources over the past 30 years.
Some 15 billion trees and 24 billion tonnes of fertile soil are lost each year, according to the Global Land Outlook (GLO), launched today by the secretariat of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), at the meeting of States parties taking place in Ordos, China.
The GLO takes a critical look at financial and socio-economic values of land, and its impact on the poor. It marks the first in-depth analysis of land functions viewed from multiple lenses such economic growth and global trade patterns, highlighting the inextricable links between land, these sectors, and the people that can work to save it.
"Smallholder farmers, women and indigenous communities are the most vulnerable, given their reliance on land-based resources, compounded by their exclusion from wider infrastructure and economic development," stated a news release issued by UNCCD.
Monique Barbut, the Executive Secretary of the UNCCD, said at the launch that land degradation and drought are global challenges and intimately linked to most, if not all aspects of human security and well-being, particularly food security, employment and migration.
Hundreds of millions of people go to bed desperate, hungry and thirsty as a result. Under business-as-usual scenarios, there is no future relief. Monique Barbut
"As the ready supply of healthy and productive land dries up and the population grows, competition is intensifying, for land within countries and globally," she pointed out.
More than 60 countries have established national land degradation baselines and set neutrality targets.
In an effort to slow land degradation and maintain productive soil, over 110 countries have joined a global campaign to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal target of reaching land degradation neutrality by 2030 a national target for action.
Brazil, China, India, Nigeria, Russia and South Africa are among those that have committed to the national targets during the meeting in Ordos, a significant move for some of the world's largest and most populous nations that could mean regaining resources, job security and resilience to climate change.
Ms. Barbut noted that with the human population growing an extra 200,000 people daily, and 20 countries declaring drought emergencies over the last 18 months, there are unforeseeable challenges.
"We were clearly not sufficiently prepared for these challenges," she said. "Hundreds of millions of people go to bed desperate, hungry and thirsty as a result. Under business-as-usual scenarios, there is no future relief."

Neeya, a 1979 film is on the king cobra that takes the revenge towards the humans who killed its pair at the forest. It featured Kamal Haasan and Sri priya in lead roles. Neeya 2, is said to be a sequel of Neeya is again based on the King Cobra. It has Jai in lead role while Catherine Tresa, Varalakshmi Sarathkumar and Raai Laxmi are three heroines in the film.
'Eththan' fame L Suresh is helming the project while it is produced by A Sridhar of Jumbo Cinemas. Shabir scores the music and Rajavel Mohan is cranking the camera.
The film was shot at the hilly regions; recently Varalaksmi Sarathkumar song sequence was canned in the forest in Talakona which was choreographed by dancer Kala. The team had revealed the scenes were shot in beautiful locations deep inside the forest.
Varalakshmi is sporting the role of snake woman. The movie was also shot in Chalakudi and some portions in Chennai. The second schedule is in brisk space. The film also has 22 feet snake that plays an important role in the film. There are also vfx portions in the film that includes the snake. It seems director Suresh had done research and ground work for several months about the activities, bevariour and appearance of the cobra for this project.


Reduce your costs and improve your service with Bluehost as your hosting provider.
Whether you are just getting started with your first website or are a seasoned eCommerce veteran, hosting with Bluehost represents an opportunity to improve your bottom-line and the performance of your site(s). Basic packages begin at only $3.95 per/month.
Bluehost scores well with independent review services. Non-profit hosting review companies that evaluate providers on performance, reliability, customer relations, features, and control panel, typically rate Bluehost better than its competitors.
UNLIMITED! – Bluehost offers unlimited domain hosting, hosting space, file transfer, email accounts. This currently includes a free domain (1 year) with sign-up. Unlimited domain hosting means that you can operate multiple domains (websites) on a single account. This is a very uncommon offering, and by itself could save you significant sums of money.
A great Control Panel! – The Control Panel (CP) is 'mission control' of your online system. The Bluehost CP is packed with tools for managing security, webmail, eCommerce platforms, and your databases. The CPs of other providers pale in comparison to the number and quality of domain management options in Bluehost. If they are even available, it's usually not without a cost. In fact, some hosting providers don't even provide a control panel. See our blog post The eCommerce Business System: Guidance for Beginners for additional information regarding the importance of not falling into this trap.
Automated installations of supporting applications – Simple Scripts are basically single-click installations of popular web-based tools to help you manage your online presence and Bluehost offers nearly 100. This includes single-click installations of the wildly popular Content Management Systems (CMS) such as WordPress and Joomla!. It also includes single-click installation of many eCommerce platforms that CartSpan already supports, such as Magento, osCommerce, OpenCart, PrestaShop, and Zen Cart. All of this is free and represents a 'do-it-yourself' opportunity to potentially save yourself thousands of dollars.
Free commercial-grade caching with CloudFlare! – We all know how important it is for your website to load fast so that the attention span of your visitors is not tested. CloudFlare is a third party service (usually paid) that employs some fancy technology to ensure that your pages load as fast as they possibly can. Bluehost has partnered with CloudFlare to offer this basic service to you for no additional cost. If you want the CloudFlare advantage with another hosting provider, get ready to pay for it.
Painless Domain Transfer – Are you excited about the features you have just read about but still feeling 'locked-in' with your existing hosting company? Changing is not as big a hassle as you might believe. You can establish your Bluehost account and migrate your existing site to a temporary domain for testing. When you are ready to transfer your domain(s), a Bluehost representative can guide you through the process.
It is estimated that the WordPress content management platform powers almost 60% of all websites on the Internet. And Bluehost acknowledges this by offering hosting configurations that maximize its performance. In addition to the optimized hosting (sometime referred to as 'managed hosting') configuration, Bluehost does a great job of keeping up with potential threats in the marketplace that could permanently corrupt your WordPress site. Bluehost mitigates these risks by automatically upgrading your WordPress software to the latest version; which typically includes security updates for said threats. These updates are applied to standard hosting plans as well as the optimized plans discussed here. Let it be known that the optimized hosting plans do cost a 'few dollars' more for the incremental resources applied to your account.
Worried about switching providers and losing your ranking on the search engines? You will not lose your current rankings with the search engines if you transfer your domains to a new provider.


On Feb. 13, Chicago Police Commander Paul Bauer was at the Thompson Center at 100 West Randolph Street for training when he heard officers call for assistance in apprehending a fleeing suspect. Noticing the subject running by his squad car, the commander gave chase.
Bauer, 53, chased the suspect, Shomari Legghette, up a stairwell, where the two struggled. Legghette, a four-time felon drew a handgun and fired seven shots, mortally wounding Bauer, according to The Chicago Tribune.
A 31-year veteran of CPD and commander of the Near North Side police district, Bauer was remembered for being a brave leader who the rank-and-file held in high esteem.
Bauer's name joins more than 580 others from CPD who have died in the line of duty.
The wake and funeral were held on Friday and Saturday, respectively, near his home in Bridgeport, where Bauer also grew up.
Surviving Bauer is his wife, Erin, and his 13-year-old daughter, Grace.

Q: How to get result based on multiple column weightage wise sorting My question is quite interesting and need help from all sql masters here.
I have following input form to take input from user:

User will enter value, variance and weightage for c1, c2 etc.
Result table is as below

I need to retrieve data from result table based on following conditions:

*

*Value entered by user c1 should be match in c1 column of table with given variance percentage. Eg, value entered is 15000 and % is 10 so match should be 10% +- in table.

*Result should be in order of weightage given by user for each column. Max weightage is 5.
Eg. Even if C1 value is exact match and c2 value is near match to variance, if weightage of c2 is higher then c2 row should be on top.
I tried below query:
DECLARE @c1 int; set @c1 = 15000;
DECLARE @c2 int; set @c2 = 4;
DECLARE @c3 int; set @c3 = 570;
DECLARE @c4 int; set @c4 = 2000;
DECLARE @c5 int; set @c5 = 450;
select results.*, ((((@c1 - c1val) * 100 / @c1 ) * 6-1) + (((@c2 - c2val) * 100 / @c2) * 6 - 1) + (((@c3 - c3val) * 100 / @c3) * 6-5)+ (((@c4 - c4val) * 100 / @c4) * 6-3)+ (((@c5 - c5val) * 100 / @c5) * 6-3)) AS relevance
from results
where (c1val <= @c1 - (@c1 * 10 /100) or c1val > = @c1 +  (@c1 * 10 /100)) or
      (c2val <= @c2 - (@c2 * 25 /100) or c2val > = @c2 + (@c2 * 25 /100)) or
      (c3val <= @c3 - (@c3 * 20 /100) or c3val > = @c3 + (@c3 * 20 /100)) or
      (c4val <= @c4 - (@c4 * 10 /100) or c4val > = @c4 + (@c4 * 10 /100)) or
      (c5val <= @c5 - (@c5 * 15 /100) or c5val > = @c5 + (@c5 * 15 /100))

order by relevance desc

but its not working correct.

A: First you need decimal arithmetic, declare @c1 etc decimal. Otherwise all expressions are casted to int. Next i guess you need abs(@c1 - c1val) etc in relevance expression. Also my guess is that the relevance is inversely proportional to the deviation.
Try
DECLARE @c1 decimal(7,2) = 15000
      , @var1 decimal(4,3) = 10./100;
DECLARE @d1 decimal(7,3) = @c1 * @var1
      , @w1 int = 1;
...
select *
from(
    select results.*
        , (100 - abs(@c1 - c1val) * 100 / @c1)  * (6 - @w1)
        +  ...  AS relevance
    from results
    where (c1val between @c1 - @d1 and  @c1 + @d1)
       AND  ...
) t
order by relevance desc

Relevance may need a kind of tuning to get a proper balance of weight and deviation.

A: Below query working perfect:
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetResult]
    @c1 as decimal(7,2), @c2 as decimal(7,2), @c3 as decimal(7,2), @c4 as decimal(7,2), @c5 as decimal(7,2),

    @w1 as int, @w2 as int, @w3 as int, @w4 as int, @w5 as int
AS
BEGIN

DECLARE @var1 decimal(4,3) = @v1/100;
DECLARE @d1 decimal(7,3) = @c1 * @var1

DECLARE @var2 decimal(4,3) = @v2/100;
DECLARE @d2 decimal(7,3) = @c2 * @var2;

DECLARE @var5 decimal(4,3) = @v5/100;
DECLARE @d5 decimal(7,3) = @c5 * @var5

select *
from(
    select results.*
        ,   (abs(@c1 - c1val) / @c1 * @w1 +
            abs(@c2 - c2val) / @c2 * @w2 +
            abs(@c3 - c1val) / @c3 * @w3 +
            abs(@c4 - c1val) / @c4 * @w4 +

Irish Relatives and Friends
From "Information Wanted" Ads in the "Irish-American," 1850-1871
Laura Murphy DeGrazia and Diane Fitzpatrick Haberstroh
Imprint: GPC
The Irish-American, a weekly newspaper published in New York City for the edification of the Irish immigrant population, began publication in August 1849, at the height of the great exodus from Ireland. Besides news items of interest to the Irish community, the paper ran a popular classified section for people seeking information on relatives and friends who had recently taken up residence in the U.S. These classified ads appeared in a column entitled "Information Wanted," and because of their genealogical value they have been transcribed in their entirety for this publication. The ads are of particular importance to the genealogist because they usually indicate the Irish county, townland, or parish from which an immigrant came, and virtually all Irish genealogical research is based on the identification of these jurisdictions.
In addition to naming former places of residence in Ireland, the ads often name places of residence in the U.S., provide names and relationships of family members, give dates of departure from Ireland and arrival in the U.S., indicate ships' names, and sometimes specify ages and occupations. To help the researcher use this data efficiently, the compilers have assembled five separate indexes: Personal Names, Irish Place Names, United States Place Names, Other Places, and New York City Streets. Altogether, some 8,500 names appear in the Personal Names index alone; and there are references to several thousand place names.
The following ad is typical, and shows what a wealth of data awaits the researcher:
Of Patrick Colman, boot and shoemaker, son of Michael Colman, boot and shoemaker, of Flemings Place, Baggot Street Bridge, DUBLIN, formerly of DONNYBROOK. He sailed from the North Wall, Dublin, for New York, in the ship Ashland, about nineteen years ago. Any information of him will be thankfully received by his sister, Mary Ann Colman, by writing to John McKeon, 136 Market Street, Newark, N.J.

Millions of Britons have been given a swine flu vaccine that may be linked to a rare sleeping disorder and is under review by the UK medicines regulator.
The GlaxoSmithKline drug Pandemrix was widely used among high-risk groups, including children and people with long-term conditions, during last year's pandemic. But a number of narcolepsy cases have been reported in Sweden and Finland.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said it was "evaluating" the reports following an investigation announcement by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
Narcolepsy causes people to suddenly fall asleep, and Finland's National Institute for Health and Welfare recommended Pandemrix vaccinations should stop until the possible link is fully reviewed. At least 30.8 million people in Europe received the drug.
A MHRA spokesman said it was "aware of the case reports of narcolepsy" and was "evaluating these in collaboration with other EU authorities".
In a statement, the EMA said: "Although the cases of narcolepsy have been reported in temporal association with the use of Pandemrix, it is at present not known if the vaccine caused the disorder.
"The Agency's Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) will look carefully at all of the available data to determine whether there is evidence for a causal association."

Forget driods! Carrie Fisher has her dog.
Following the world premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in Los Angeles on Monday, the cast jet off to a galaxy not so far away to hit the red carpet in London. And while it was certainly a star-studded affair, there was one face (or tongue) that definitely stood out.
Fisher, 59, brought her dog Gary as her date for the occasion.
The actress stunned in a long black gown, keeping her hair pulled back off her face. Gary also looked sleek, showing off his shiny brown coat and letting his pink tongue hang free as the duo posed for pictures.
Along with Fisher, the rest of the Star Wars cast, including alums Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill, plus newcomers Daisy Ridley, Lupita Nyong'o, Oscar Isaac, and John Boyega all stepped out for the big night.
Ridley, who is earning praise as the franchise's next female heroine, dazzled in a sparkly, off the shoulder dress as she was all smiles walking down the carpet, even stopping to yell "May The Force be with you!" to the crowd.
Han Solo himself stuck to a classic look for the premiere, donning a dapper black suit and grey tie. The actor stopped to talk to reporters on the carpet and signed autographs for fans in the crowd.
And just like in L.A., the night brought a slew of celebrities to the premiere as well.
London native Benedict Cumberbatch walked the red carpet with his wife, Sophia Hunter, by his side.
And two boys from the Beckham clan, Brooklyn and Romeo, also turned up to see a screening of the film.

Driscoll, K. and Menuge, J. 2011. Recognising burnt vein quartz artefacts in archaeological assemblages. Journal of Archaeological Science. Vol. 38, Issue 9, pp. 2251-60.
The primary aims of this study were to determine how vein quartz behaves in an open wood fire and to suggest how burnt quartz may reliably be distinguished from unburnt quartz. Experimental burning was conducted on 10–50 mm pieces of knapped quartz collected from outcrops and beach cobbles near a later Mesolithic and Neolithic quartz scatter at Belderrig, north County Mayo, Ireland. Burning resulted in considerable fragmentation, with the majority of post-burning fragments <10 mm in size. Compared to experiments with flint, few quartz pieces were expelled from the hearth during burning, probably due to lower water content. Burning reduced the lustre and transparency of quartz and oxidized any iron-bearing rock impurities to a red-brown or pink colour, but these changes could only be diagnostic of burning where unburnt quartz of the same type is available for comparison. Burning did not affect the texture of the quartz, though quartz grain boundaries became more visible in some samples. Under the microscope, all >5 μm fluid inclusions in quartz lost their fluid contents, often with the development of fluid escape structures, and this is likely to be a reliable discriminant between burnt and unburnt vein quartz generally, even in the absence of unburnt material for comparison. Burning also creates microfractures, but this feature does not provide a diagnostic test of burning as there is considerable overlap between burnt and unburnt samples in microfracture density.

Kerr remorseful for verbally abusing official

Warriors coach Steve Kerr sorry for coarse language directed at official

DENVER -- Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr apologized for the profane language he directed at an official during Thursday's victory over the San Antonio Spurs.
Cameras caught Kerr roaming the sideline when he uttered, "F--- you, m-----f-----."
At a shootaround Saturday morning in preparation for Saturday night's game against the Denver Nuggets, Kerr was remorseful.
"I need to do better. Honestly, I need to do better," he said. "That was embarrassing. My daughter sent me the meme of it. It was all over the internet. I just hung my head in shame. I am very passionate and intense, but I can't use that kind of wording. I would never say that to anybody in a normal setting. It's just awful. When I saw that, I was like, 'Oh, my God. What's the matter with me?'"
He later said: "I'm always going to get on refs to stick up for my guys, and that's the point, but I can't use that kind of language."
Kerr wasn't the only coach who had choice words for the officials. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was ejected late in the contest. He was seen saying, "Terrible f---ing referee."
"Well, that's where I learned it. I blamed Pop afterward," Kerr said sarcastically. "You're the one who taught me that stuff, Pop. I think he may have said something similar when he got tossed. But, yeah, sometimes the temper and the competitive desire gets the best of us."
League sources said it is unlikely that Kerr or Popovich will receive a fine. Coaches are typically penalized if they do not leave the court in a timely fashion following an ejection.
Nowadays, it's virtually impossible for anything to occur during action without it being caught on camera.
"There's a camera on him at all times, but that's kind of the give and take of what we do," Stephen Curry said. "Most of our slip-ups happen and everybody gets to see it. Me throwing a mouthpiece, him cussing, little tussles on the court, all that kind of stuff. It's a part of basketball. You just have to deal with it and understand that nobody's perfect, but he's showing some fire."
Kerr said former Warrior Tom Tolbert, who is now a Bay Area radio host, jokingly suggested that he use a laminated play card to shield his mouth like NFL coaches do.
The energy and passion Kerr demonstrates is part of what makes him an effective coach. He said he is not going to tone that aspect down but intends to exercise more self-control when communicating with the officials.
"I think there's a certain amount of yelling you have to do as coach when you don't like what's going on," Kerr said. "Maybe you're trying to motivate your guys, maybe you're trying to get on the ref to change the momentum a little, and that's all part of it. But what I said the other night was inexcusable, and I can't use that kind of language."

Thank you as always for your continued support, which is directly helping to keep poor rural families healthy, fed, educated, and together in Sri Lanka.
If you tune in to the London Marathon on Sunday 3rd October, please give a thought and a shout out to our committed Trustee and Treasurer, Lois Lindley, who will courageously be joining thousands of runners in our first awarded Their Future Today place to finally join the big charities and her first 26-mile challenge.
Novice Lois said she is " a bit excited and a bit nervous", as her punishing training schedule has meant knee supports, tape and prescription painkillers, but she is determined to push through knowing that the funds she raises will help support desperate families in Sri Lanka, who are without income due to strict Covid-19 lockdowns and are unable to put food on the table for their children.
"I was inspired to join this charity having spent a month in Sri Lanka in 2013 and seeing first-hand the absolutely shocking conditions that children can live their whole lives in orphanages, and TFT is providing the solutions to keep children at home where they belong."
If you have sponsored Lois already, thank you so much...
If not, please consider a donation to make Lois's amazing efforts even more worthwhile, and help her to reach her target.


I am sure this is a common question as I couldn't find an official list stickied to any thread sections, nothing from "requirements" or "system requirements" in search, and nothing obvious on the home page of the officail site. Anyone have an idea?
My girlfriend wants to get an account when I do IF her machine can play it. Its my old gaming computer, it might be a little choppy or it might be fine, depends on sys req.
I know its probably too old a video card, we may get another one if possible. Any suggestions? Otherwise I'll ask my computer builder buddy.
8.) What are the system requirements?
Of course we recommend the best system possible!
I read the FAQ before and thought maybe I had seen it in there. I skimmed it while she was here and guess I just overlooked it. Thanks a bunch!
I'd still appreciate if a computer genius or two commented on whether or not they thought her processor would work, and which video card they think would match the current specs. Thanks in advance.
the Athlon is 1 core right? If so this game requires at least 3Ghz for a single core.
and the 2 gig is on par.
Athalon is single core with dual threading so it can act like a dual core. The video card is not on board. It was built to be a gaming machine 4 or 5 years ago.
What model graphics card it is?

Our Sunday Services begin at 10.30am however, the Church though is not the building or even a specific 'meeting' but the gathering of a collection of people of all ages and backgrounds, united by the common knowledge that God exists and that he can be known personally. We, along with all other Christian churches, believe that God has shown himself to us by sending his son, Jesus Christ. This is good news and we want to share it, a very basic outline of this central Christian message can be found here.
However be assured that we are not in the business of "hard selling". You will always find someone ready to explain what it is we believe or share with you what being a Christian means to them. However, if you only wish to find out what going to Church here is all about then we will gladly welcome you among us.
As a Baptist Church, members of both the London Baptist Association and the Baptist Union of Great Britain as well as the Evangelical Alliance, you may be interested to know that we are organised and financed entirely by ourselves. The Minister and the Deacons are elected by the members but the leaders themselves don't run the church, nor is there anybody outside who has any role in our affairs. Rather we believe that God guides us as we seek to work together as his people - the whole church. All the members of the church therefore share the responsibility of guiding the work here. Membership is open to all who have committed themselves to Jesus Christ and his Church.
Similarly our offerings, which are taken at every service but intended only for those regular and committed members of the congregation, provide the only means of supporting the work here. Individual giving therefore, whether through loose cash or envelopes at the offering, standing orders or tax covenants, is another aspect of our commitment to Christ and his work through us.


Part time students attend lectures every Thursday at our Bradford Campus 9.30am – 1.00pm. There are no requirements for part time students beyond these teaching times.
You can pay the whole course fee upfront or pay monthly through standing order, cheque or cash.

  This rich cream is a combination of 2 strong flavours: the smoky one of
  aubergines prepared as below, and the strong taste of tahina sharpened by
  lemon and garlic. It is exciting and vulgarly seductive. The ingredients
  are added almost entirely to taste, the harmony of flavours depending
  largely on the size and flavour the aubergines used. The quantities below
  give a fairly large amount, enough to be served as a dip at a party.

  Cook the aubergines over charcoal or under a gas flame or electricgrill
  until the skin blackens and blisters. Peel and wash the aubergines, and
  squeeze out as much of the bitter juice as possible. Crush the garlic
  cloves with salt. Mash the aubergines with a potato masher or a fork, then
  add the crushed garlic and  little more salt, and pound to a smooth, creamy
  puree.

  Add the tahina paste and lemon juice alternately, beating well or blending
  for a few seconds between each addition. Taste and add more salt, lemon
  juice, garlic or tahina if you think it is necessary, and if you like, a
  little cumin.

  Pour the cream into a bowl or a few smaller serving dishes. Garnish with
  finely chopped parsley and black olives, oe with Arab or other bread
  (pita), as a salad, or as a party dip.

Анэнцефалия ( «без» +  «головной мозг») — внутриутробный порок развития плода, который возникает на ранних сроках беременности и связан обычно с воздействием вредных факторов окружающей среды, токсических веществ или инфекцией; грубый порок развития головного мозга — полное или частичное отсутствие больших полушарий головного мозга, костей свода черепа и мягких тканей. Врождённый многофакторный порок развития, возникающий вследствие нарушения механизмов пренатального развития плода — нарушения формирования нервной трубки плода в период 21−28 дней беременности (незакрытие переднего нейропора нервной трубки).

Описание

Порок 100 % летален, 50 % плодов с анэнцефалией погибают внутриутробно, а другие 50 % детей рождаются живыми и в 66 % случаев могут прожить несколько часов, некоторые живут около недели. «Долгожителем» среди анэнцефалов является Стефани Кин, известная по прозвищу Бэби Кей, прожившая с этим диагнозом 2 года 174 дня. Известны ещё как минимум три случая, когда ребёнок прожил более двух лет. Анжела Моралес прожила три года и девять месяцев. До недавнего времени наибольший срок жизни принадлежал Николасу Дж. Коуку, умершему в штате Колорадо в возрасте 3 года и 328 дней. Однако 1 апреля 2020 года в возрасте пяти лет скончался Джексон Буэлл, родившийся в Орландо, Флорида, тем самым став самым долгоживущим ребёнком с подобным диагнозом. Джексон приобрёл некоторую известность в сети, пользователи отмечали его «невероятную борьбу за жизнь». При обнаружении анэнцефалии строго показано прерывание беременности вне зависимости от срока выявления порока. Однако также известны и случаи успешных родов при таком диагнозе.

Ацефал (акефал) () — медицинский термин для обозначения плода с врождённым пороком, при котором совсем недостаёт головы или верхней её части (Monstra acephala). Существуют три различные степени ацефалов:

 состоят из одного кожного мешка с костями и жиром,
 корпус более или менее полно образован, но отсутствует голова,
 туловище и конечности вполне образованы, а голова присутствует фрагментарно, включая челюсти, части лица и основание черепных костей, но отсутствует мозг. В последнем случае применяется также название «аненкефал».

Эти и тому подобные случаи бывают чаще всего при рождении близнецов, причём один из близнецов развивается за счёт другого. От аненкефалов тянется непрерывная цепь различных форм до так называемых микроцефалов, у которых мозг может быть относительно развит — таковые хотя и остаются умственно отсталыми, но способны вести самостоятельную жизнь.

Клинические формы, вероятность появления анэнцефалии
Анэнцефалия встречается примерно 1 раз на 10 000 новорождённых (в США), чаще у плодов женского пола. В Мексике чаще всего отмечено возникновение анэнцефалии — 8,05 случаев на 10 000 человек (на 2002 год). Сочетанные аномалии у большинства плодов — недоразвитие надпочечников и отсутствие гипофиза, спинномозговая грыжа — в 17 % случаев, расщепление твёрдого и мягкого нёба — 2 %, различные дефекты развития нервной системы, такие как расщепление позвоночных дуг. Вероятность повторения при последующих беременностях — не более 5 %.

Диагностика анэнцефалии
Как правило, анэнцефалия обнаруживается при ультразвуковом исследовании (эхограмма анэнцефалии) во время беременности на сроке с 11—12 недель, также характерно повышение в крови беременной уровня альфа-фетопротеина с 13—14 недель беременности. Тесты на наличие у ребёнка анэнцефалии могут быть проведены женщине уже на ранних сроках беременности, если кому-либо из членов семьи уже пришлось ранее столкнуться с данным заболеванием.

Printed Electronics World
Posted on July 22, 2009 by Raghu Das &
New topics covered at Printed Electronics Asia
While some involved in OLEDs and OTFTs are moving out of the business of printed and potentially printed electronics, work on inorganic materials and compounds is increasing. It is at least half of the effort on the topic as a whole - and will continue to be so, which is why the IDTechEx Printed Electronics Asia event in Tokyo on Sept 30 - Oct 1 gives a balanced view, with 40 speakers from 13 countries.
Covering the recent surge in activity in zinc oxide transistors, Dr Flora Li from the University of Cambridge, UK, presents on the fabrication and stability of Indium Zinc Oxide deposited at low temperature.
Zinc Oxide is transparent and offers higher mobility compared to that of aSi or organic TFTs, and is therefore of great focus to display companies as a backplane technology, particularly for OLEDs. In contrast, Professor Elvira Fortunato presents on transistors on paper, where the paper substrate also doubles as the transistor dielectric. The Tokyo Institute of Technology also present on inorganic transistor developments.
Japan's largest printing and packaging companies, Dai Nippon Printing and Toppan Printing, with revenues of approximately $16 billion each, will be presenting on their latest printed transistor work, as will the $80 billion consumer electronics giant Sony. Indeed, attendees joining the hosted company visits have the opportunity to visit these companies, including Toppan Forms and Hodogaya Chemical.
Reinventing organic electronics
While a shakeout in organic TFT developers continues, there is increased interest in the higher performance organic carbon nanotubes (CNTs).
Earlier this year Fujitsu, Japan, demonstrated carbon nanotube and graphene transistors, the later with a mobility of 2000cm2/Vs. NEC, Japan, has successfully printed CNTs onto plastic film at low temperature (below 200°C). In a different tack, US based Vorbeck Materials is developing printable graphene to be used as a viable alternative to expensive silver flake conductors. All these companies will be presenting their latest work at the event. In addition, the new IDTechEx report Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene for Electronics Applications covers the latest progress from 78 organizations around the world.
Who is winning the race for the best barrier layer?
The event features companies from US, Europe and Asia comparing the latest and best in transparent, flexible barrier layers. Prof Beng Ong of A*STAR Singapore will reveal the closely held details of their impressive specifications, while Alcan Packaging and Vitex give the latest work from the West.
Color e-readers, flexible displays and RFID
One cannot miss the e-reader tipping-point that has been reached, thanks to successes at Sony, Amazon and many others. Now the next target is color e-readers, and technology from Liquavista and Bridgestone are exposed at the event. Progress with displays from Samsung and Kodak are also covered, as are stretchable displays from the University of Tokyo.
The $100+ billion Marubeni Corporation discusses RFID developments in Japan and Sunchon University, Korea, presents its progress with roll-to-roll RFID printing.
End user applications
As usual, this IDTechEx event also focuses on printed electronics applications and products. US based T-ink cover new applications including printed conductors where they create new products and markets.
In healthcare, Dr Tina Ng of PARC USA covers flexible printed sensor tape for diagnostics of mild traumatic brain injury; Imperial College UK looks at using printed lighting and photo detectors for medical diagnostics, and Power Paper Israel covers the success of printed batteries in the skin patch market, delivering cosmetics and ultimately drugs by iontophoresis.
Japan is one of the leaders in photovoltaic production, and after Germany, it has the largest PV install base in the World. We cover global photovoltaic developments including the new world record in OPV efficiency from US based Solarmer, at 6.77%, to CIGs. IDTechEx analyst Dr Harry Zervos analyses all the latest PV trends and technologies, giving ten-year forecasts and the market reach of each technology.
Why attend Printed Electronics Asia
This event, unlike others, is not "more of the same". It brings an international line up of leading academics and companies together with Asia's leading exhibition on the topic. Many presentations are World firsts. The event sessions are simultaneously translated in Japanese and English. Over 300 attendees are expected based on 238 attending last year.
For more information see www.IDTechEx.com/peAsia. Attendees receive free the IDTechEx report Printed & Organic Electronics in East Asia, profiling 196 organizations in the region, worth $2500. If you want to learn what is going on in the territory and meet the leading companies in the field, attend Printed Electronics Asia, hosted by the leading global analyst on the topic, IDTechEx.

Karolin Troubetzkoy (third from right) with members of her leadership team and the media in Miami earlier this month.
Speaking to reporters earlier this month in Miami, where CHTA is headquartered, Troubetzkoy stated the second annual forum, slated for the El Conquistador Resort in Puerto Rico from September 30 to October 2, 2016, will build on the success of last year's forum.
She contended the upcoming exchange is an especially important one since 2016 has proven so far to be a year of significant change and challenges for the Caribbean hospitality industry. As an example, she pointed to growth in travel to Cuba where approximately 2.1 million travelers visited the island during the first six months of 2016, an 11.7 percent increase over the same period in 2015.
CHTA embraces the lifting of the Cuba trade embargo and the lifting of U.S. travel restrictions. At the same time, the association cautions in its policy paper on Cuba that this serves as a wake-up call for many destinations and hotel operators in the region to elevate their game and become more competitive.
At CHIEF, hoteliers will also be looking at another element of concern – the impact of the growing sharing economy led by Airbnb, VRBO and HomeAway. With the Caribbean region poised to surpass the 30 million mark in visitor arrivals for the first time this year (although hotels are reporting mixed results in occupancies), Troubetzkoy believes the traditional accommodations industry must be prepared to understand shifting consumer motivations and to find creative ways to make the sharing economy work to its advantage.
High on the list of issues currently impacting the Caribbean tourism sector are: the effects of Zika, the Brexit outcome, increases in global terrorism risks, high airfares, rising hotel operating costs, and ineffective marketing efforts. "At CHIEF there will be a healthy dose of peer-to-peer exchanges to flush out ideas and best practices. There is no doubt that Caribbean hotels and destinations which adapt to change and are prepared to deal with uncertainty are better positioned to come out ahead," said Troubetzkoy.
Sessions at this year's CHIEF conference will focus on Environmental Sustainability, Operations, Sales and Marketing, and Technology.


Apple. Google. Samsung. WebMD. Each has made moves recently into personal health technologies. And they're coming at a time when the nation's healthcare is stressed and federal efforts are geared toward removing costs. It's too early to tell whether those behemoths will dwindle as, say, Google's previous PHR attempt, or ultimately thrive. But there's little questioning their promise to better engage patients in turn holds the potential to fuel the Triple Aim of better care for individuals and populations at reduced costs.

Q: Symbolic link not working I tried to make a symbolic link between directories, but it's not working.  I made a directory called C_drive and then did the following command:
sudo ln -s this/directory/way/over/here/myfolder ~/other/directory/C_drive
and it seemed to work, i.e. my C_drive folder has two things in it - 'myfolder' in red and 'John' ('John' is my name, and it is the name of a directory on the path to /other/directory/C_drive, but it is not capitalized there) in cyan.  a cyan is supposed to be a symbolic link and red is supposed to be an archive link? I have no idea why 'John' appears in this directory as the symbolic link when I made no such instruction.  More importantly, when I try to cd into either one of these, it says 'no such file or directory'.
All I want to do is create a shared folder at C_drive - that is, a folder where if I add, delete or alter files, the exact same thing happens at the other location.  I've read dozens of help pages, and I still can't figure it out.


You read that right. Billions.
If you haven't seen (or read) Crazy Rich Asians, you know at least one thing about the storyline for sure—the people in it are, obviously, crazy rich. Sure, the title may give it away, but it's also set in one of the most expensive places to live in the world: Singapore.
Of course, the most expensive city to live is going to have the most expensive property to own—AKA two abandoned palaces in the middle of Tyersall Park, located near the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Reported by Bloomberg, that property is valued at a hefty $3.5 billion (yes, billion), if sold for development. Coincidentally enough, those abandoned palaces are exactly like where the fictitious Young family lives in Kevin Kwan's novel—also set within Singapore's Tyersall Park. So you can only imagine how crazy rich they are once you put a price to that palace.
Although the ancestral home seen in the movie is beautifully designed and fully furnished, its real-life counterpart is, well, not so much. Decaying from fire damage, and basically in ruins, the 210,875-square-meter plot is currently owned by the Crown Prince of Johar, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim—and looks nothing like the Young estate.
So why doesn't this prince sell the decaying homes for a few billion? Turns out the property is set on a "special use of green space," meaning that absolutely nothing can be developed, residential or commercial. If that ends up changing, the Crown Prince could see an even steeper payout of $4.7 billion.

My sister, "Nicki Elson," invited me to join a blog hop with her fellow authors. While surely a combination of her kindness and shared DNA compelled her to assure I qualified for having one whole big giant short story pending publication (at a date which seems to have been pushed back to infinity and beyond), I am too shy to join their ranks.
And just as I am beneath them, I am not above ripping off their theme anyway ;). I encourage you, though, to check out Nicki's post, "Where Do You Write?" and meet the other authors-in-crime listed in the blog hop to discover some fun new reads or join in if you've got the published goods yourself (or are contracted to).
So there it is. Squished into the second bedroom of a typically gargantuan, so-much-space-I-don't-know-what-to-do-with-it London flat. And in two nights, I'll be able to officially post a sign above that bed that the great author Nicki Elson was squished in here, too—because my sissy's coming to London!!! AHHH!!! Psyched.
As we continue the tour, note that the water glass to the left is conveniently interchangeable with a glass of red wine, as such swapping happens with great frequency. The desktop image is a photo from Cabo San Lucas from years ago that helps me escape my grey UK days. Beneath the monitor is a clock depicting the world map, which my parents gave as a reminder of what time it is in Chicago…awww. And beneath the monkeys are books that helped inform my first novel manuscript, along with my brainstorming journal and the Room to Write book of writing prompts that I only occasionally dust off these days now that I've found other things to yammer about.
Now about those monkeys. To be honest, when I first created the Fallen Monkey profile, I did not, nor did I ever…actually…own…a sock monkey. Truth. Now *shame*. Thus, my sister gifted me the one on the right a year ago, and me mum delivered its fickle and very green (as in color, not environmentally-conscious—that chimp could care less) mistress. The husband then wooed me with the 2011 sock monkey calendar, which as yet has nowhere to hang as a proper primate ought.
Such as in a tree…Compare/contrast the original view out the window that would inspire me to write, as opposed to after the branch-carnage ensued. At least I still have a perdy church to look at.
Netbook-n-me will hang occasionally on the frumpy but oh-so comfy sofa. While any writing done here is usually on my daily London blog for work, I must acknowledge that about 10,000 words of my manuscript were drafted with that wee keyboard in a surreal burst of inspiration whilst reclining here. It's the one portion I consider to require the least revision, too, so I don't know what Victorian spirit must've been lounging there to whisper it to me :).
So this leaves me ever-so curious—Where do YOU write?!

Aw, I love that post and enjoyed having a peak into your pad a lot! Enjoy your time with your sister – am sure you're going to have a ball.
Wow, it was a close one for my sis–a massive portion of the States just got hit with a record-breaking snowstorm, but she luckily exercised foresight and got her flight changed to a day earlier! We're already having much fun and feeling so lucky.
Cannot wait to see the pimped-out Munich office—I see fur walls and a disco ball.
Thank you! For as much as I whinged and cried (yes, there was tear-shed) when those branches were hacked off, one could do worse than a beautiful steeple :).
I sit on the floor (weird, I know) and write with a ballpoint pen and composition book when the story is longer than a piece of flash. For 1,000 words or fewer, I type it straight onto my notebook computer. No view to speak of, but plenty of music!
Sorry for pushing myself into this thread, but am totally with Milo on the handwriting. After my humongous writer's block that was 2010, returning to handwriting was the best decision to make to get things going again. Find it is the most rewarding and inspiring way to write (all your notes stay, while I tended to go for the perfect line on the comp), to me anyway. I know everybody works differently, but I would say it is definitely worth a try.
So sweet that Ryan gave you a sock monkey calendar!
"Next visit" is just what I like to hear! And never fear, am pretty sure the trees will still look like elaborate houseplant stands at that time, too.
I had no idea Nicki was your sister! I follow her blog!

Just one hour and 20 minutes' drive south of Casablanca, Morocco, the port city of El Jadida sits quietly on the Atlantic coast. The former Portuguese fortress has since been rehabilitated and repurposed by Moroccans to suit their needs, which include communal baking.
Built by the Portuguese in the early 16th century, this former fortified colony (originally known as Mazagan) offered a stopping point for spice traders en route to India. Though Portugal abandoned the fortress in 1769, the city lay vacant until the middle of following century when the sultan ordered its rehabilitation. Muslims, Jews, and Christians repurposed the area as a multicultural commercial center. They renamed it El Jadida, or "The New."
One of El Jadida's new offerings for the community was its large oven. In traditional Moroccan society, community ovens are an integral part of neighborhoods. Though most homes have ovens, locals still leave baking (especially large, skillet-based breads) to a community oven attendant. Today, El Jadida's fishermen, bakers, and homemakers bring flatbread dough, pizzas, meats, and fresh fish to the former Portuguese fortress. There, a pleasant operator fires up each dish in the queue.
From inside the sandy walls of the fortress, smoke floats up from the wood-fired oven and the view of the ocean is placid and calm. With no sign of Portuguese sailors or trade ships in sight, the only remnants of El Jadida's past is in smell of spices wafting through the briny air.
El Jadida is one of Morocco's recent additions to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites. The fortress also features a cistern where a scene in Orson Welles's Othello was filmed.

Fresh violence erupted in Malmö in southern Sweden overnight, with several cars set on fire and suspected explosives found in a grocery store.
Police were called to the shop in Lindängen in the south of the city just before 1am on Monday.
Bomb technicians analysed what police described as a jar-like object, believed to contain explosives.
But Kim Hild, a press officer for the TT news agency said on Monday morning that following their investigation, "nothing suggests it was explosive".
The suspect bomb was discovered following a new wave of unrest in the city's suburbs, in a month already punctuated by several large fights, shootings and explosions.
Overnight three cars were set on fire, with at least one other vehicle damaged by the flames.
Police said on Monday that it was unclear if the fires were linked to the suspected bomb at the grocery store.
Last week a youth community centre and several cars were set alight in the suburb of Kroksbäck in Malmö, days after hand grenades were thrown in the same area, which is around six kilometres away from the scene of the most recent unrest.
The southern Swedish city has experienced growing violence in recent years. Some of its inner-city areas and suburbs have a reputation for gun and gang-related crimes as well as race-related violence between different immigrant groups.
As a result, the force has recently stepped up its presence in known trouble-hit areas.


Carolyn Newquist, The quality on this shop is always amazing. waltontrustrc.com make you discover products which you think have already taste it and you dislike. But when products is sent from this shop it's almost like the first time you try it. Never be disappointed since so much years I used to buy here.

Tag: Montgomery Drive-in
Flashback to the Rialto
While I was in Cape, I picked up some cans of Shasta Black Cherry soda at Schnucks. The taste took me back to the soda dispenser at the Rialto Theater on Broadway.
Buddy Jim Stone, in town chasing a big magnet, reminisced about Carol Klarsfeld, whose mother owned the theater. Carol got to keep the money from the weight machine and the soda dispenser, he said.
Carol used to joke that the two profit centers in the lobby were the soda machine and the popcorn machine. "The most expensive parts of each were the containers they were sold in."
The soda machine sat over on the left side of the lobby, near the popcorn popper (which produced oceans of fresh-popped corn, drowned in real butter). When you put in your dime, a thin cup would plop down with a satisfying "SMACK!" followed by a smattering of thinly crushed ice and your choice of flavored soda. I don't remember the other flavors because I always picked Black Cherry.
Rialto and other theater stories
I've done a number of stories about Cape's theaters. Here are some links in case you missed them.

Free the Plants!
About this time in 2011, I wrote about a spooky place in Cape where I swore I could hear plants screaming. The Plaza Galleria, behind the Town Plaza Shopping Center, had been closed since 2005, but the plants in the lobby had been left behind. (You can click on the photos to make them larger or follow the link to see more examples.)
Plaza Galleria is out of sci-fi movie
There must have been enough roof leaks to water the plants and keep some of them alive, with their leaves pressed against the glass lobby's window panes like they were trying to get out. Some didn't make it.
Missourian reporter Shay Alderman had a story in Wednesday's paper that the Plaza Galleria is scheduled to be razed in the next few weeks. The building held the area's first supermarket in 1969, and served as an ice skating rink in the 1980s.
Dying plant in the Royal N'Orleans
I started looking for orphaned plants in closed buildings. Here's one in the Royal N'Orleans from April 2011. Looking through the window at tables still covered with tablecloths was sad enough, but the neglected plant gave the 1806 landmark a real feeling of being abandoned.
Cairo storefront
I spotted these plants on the 4th of July 2011 in what I took to be some kind of government office in Cairo. I didn't know if the office had closed or if the occupants were just careless in their watering.
Some managed to escape
When I went back in November 2012, the office was empty. Someone must have taken the plants that were still alive.
Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church
This plant was behind a window in the Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church in Cairo.
Blomeyer Drive-In screen being eaten
The concrete Montgomery Drive-In screen in Blomeyer looks like it's being devoured by something out of one of the sci-fi movies that once played on it.
Posted on April 3, 2013 February 20, 2016
Drive-In Then and Now
When Friend Jan and I passed through Logan, Ohio, in February, I mentioned that we stopped to take a photo the derelict Hocking Theater for my readers who are drive-in fans. You can click on the photos to make them larger.
This afternoon I was scanning a bunch of aerials I took while flying with a fire spotter in Southern Ohio in the spring of 1970. I couldn't believe it, but here was a picture of the place in its heyday. The road under construction is what would become the four-lane Rt. 33 that links Athens to Columbus.
The way it looks today
Here's a link to the story about passing the place (and our motel-hunting experience in Louisville)..
Other Drive-Ins
The Bloymeyer Drive-In looks like it's being eaten.
The Jackson Drive-In and the 1938 swimming pool are long gone.
The Hillcrest Inn was across the street from the Star-Vue. Both are history.
Blomeyer Drive-in Theater
Reader Toni Eftink asked, "Wasn't there a drive in right outside of Cape near Blomeyer? I think the screen is even still up…has a lot of vines covering it, but I drive past it on my way home to Leopold."
Toni is a decade or two too young to have ever seen a movie at the Montgomery Drive-in Theater just south of the Diversion Channel on Hwy 25, but the old concrete screen is still there. She's right, too, that it's being devoured by creepy-looking vines like something out of one of the sci-fi movies shown ON that screen.
1960s Montgomery Drive-in aerial
That's the drive-in in the lower left portion of the picture. The screen is the bright, square object. The Diversion Channel is on the right. Click on any photo to make it larger.
I'm not sure I ever saw a full movie there. Wife Lila and I went there one night when we were dating, but the mosquitoes were so bad that we bailed early.
Montgomery Drive-In aerial in 2010
Used mobile homes and other structures have replaced the movie parking area, and thick brush has grown up around the screen. The screen is at the lower right part of the photo.
No popcorn available here
The roof of the projection / concession stand building has collapsed.
Building used for storage
It looks like the building had been used for miscellaneous storage of parts by the mobile home folks along the highway.
Screen made of concrete
Morris Montgomery, owner of the drive-in, said the original screen was made of redwood shipped in from Oregon. A Missourian story said a windstorm blew it down Sept. 22, 1965. Morris said the wooden screen was replaced with one made of concrete panels cast locally and supported by heavy steel I-beams.
Concrete and I-Beams look sturdy
The screen and its supports have held up well for being nearly half a century old.
Theater showed few first-run movies
Morris said the drive-in showed very few first-run movies. "The big movie theaters in Cape had contracts that embargoed those kinds of shows for at least 14 days." TV and air conditioning took its toll, too.
A dollar per carload
Morris said they experimented with different ways to make the drive-in appealing to the cost-conscious.
They tried free Monday nights for awhile, counting on the $100-$150 in concession sales to carry the freight. That's a lot of hamburgers at 25 cents each and hot dogs priced at 15 cents.
In 1958, you could bring in a whole carload for a buck. "Dad laughed about the night he saw a car coming in with just the driver, but the car's rearend was dragging the ground. He stopped the car and said, 'Get 'em out of the trunk. It's a dollar a carload. I don't care how many people you stuff in it.'"
I'm not sure when the last movie was shown. Morris said his mother and son tried to re-open the theater two nights a week – Friday and Saturday – in June 1980, but decided very quickly to close it for good.
New Blomeyer roundabout
While we're talking about the Blomeyer area, the state just finished construction of a new roundabout at the intersection of Hwys 25 and 77. Some locals have said that the only problem is that it's not big enough to accommodate the big grain trucks common to the area. The trucks have to drive up on the red brick area to make the turn.

Q: Python Add 2 Lists (Arrays) in Python How can i add 2 numbers in a List.
I am trying to add 2 numbers in an array, it just shows None on the response box.
The code is looking thus :
def add2NumberArrays(a,b):
    res = []
    for i in range(0,len(a)):
        return res.append(a[i] + b[i])

a = [4,4,7]
b = [2,1,2]

print(add2NumberArrays(a,b))

Why does this return none? Please help.

My code looks thus :
def add2NumberArrays(a,b):
    for i in range(0,len(a)):
        res = []
        ans = res.append(a[i]+b[i])
    return ans

a = [4,4,7]
b = [2,1,2]

print(add2NumberArrays(a,b))

A: You can use itertools.zip_longest to handle different length of two lists.
from itertools import zip_longest
def add2NumberArrays(a,b):
    # Explanation:
    # list(zip_longest(a, b, fillvalue=0))
    # [(4, 2), (4, 1), (7, 2), (0, 2)]
    return [i+j for i,j in zip_longest(a, b, fillvalue=0)]

a = [4,4,7]
b = [2,1,2,2]

print(add2NumberArrays(a,b))
# [6, 5, 9, 2]

Your code need to change like below:
def add2NumberArrays(a,b):
    res = []
    for i in range(0,len(a)):
        res.append(a[i]+b[i])
    return res

    # As a list comprehension
    # return [a[i]+b[i] for i in range(0,len(a))]

a = [4,4,7]
b = [2,1,2]

print(add2NumberArrays(a,b))
# [6, 5, 9]

Hunchak was the Blazers' head coach when he left the team while it was in Spokane in January 2014. More than a year later he spoke with Allan Maki of The Globe and Mail for a piece headlined: Hockey world steps up mental health support. But is it enough?
Banská Bystrica was looking to replace Richard Zednik, who had left its coaching staff, and chose to get in touch with Hunchak.
Bast and Wishart played for Hunchak in Moose Jaw. Bast played in Banská Bystrica in 2015-16, while Wishart just completed his first season there.
Hunchak will leave for training camp in mid-July.
