But answering this question can be daunting. Where do you start, and how can you forecast your sales realistically? This is especially difficult if you are a new business with little or no existing sales data to go on.
When I started forecasting, I felt like planning was an arena for professionals and that it took a great deal of training and advanced knowledge to do it right. But the truth is if you know your business, then you are perfectly qualified to start making financial forecasts. All you need is some research, common sense and a simple tool to take care of the calculations and presentation.
In this article, no. 2 in our series on financial planning in Brixx, I'm going to lay out some practical ways to improve your sales forecasting skills – even if you are an absolute beginner.
So is sales forecasting just a dangerous and arbitrary guessing game? Because this is how I saw it initially. But the truth is if you are planning for the future, you need to have some information to begin with. All sales forecasts are based on facts. Even brand new startups have information to draw on for their forecast, it just may not be obvious at face value.
Inevitably though, there will come a point in your planning where you run out of facts and have to start making some assumptions about what will happen. Some businesses reach this point sooner than others – and this is often down to how much existing sales data they have at their disposal.
You could say financial forecasting boils down to an educated guessing game at this point – and if it helps you to think about it that way, by all means, do. But these guesses should be based on as much reliable data as you can get your hands on. And, crucially, it's a game in which you need to make more than one educated 'guess' about how the future will pan out.
If you are already in business and are not making major changes to your sales methods or sales volume, using existing data provides a firm basis for forecasting your ongoing sales. If you are aware of any seasonal dips or peaks in sales around certain events or periods of the year, you can build these into your sales forecast.
But it's not all plain sailing. The conditions that prevailed last year may have changed, there may be new competition or changing consumer needs. Or you may be reaching the maximum customers you can reach with your current sales strategy, or reached market saturation – where you can't get any more customers because there are none to be had!
To forecast effectively, more information is needed than just the business' past performance. Even well-established businesses need to think like a startup in terms of market research and forecasting.
Obviously, an entirely new business has NO sales data of its own, while businesses undergoing changes or pivoting to new business models may have some past data, but it is likely not as relevant to the new arena the business finds itself in.
Nevertheless, even if a business has never opened its doors, some of the financial facts you need to base your forecast on are quite easy to come by. You can get quotes for most of your business' costs up front and the largest cost for most businesses, salaries, should be a known quantity.
Putting all of these known figures into your Brixx plan is a good start – as then you know what costs the business needs to overcome through its sales activities. But what is trickier is predicting sales themselves.
We are going to look at a method known as a bottom-up forecast. This involves looking at the number of customers you can realistically reach through your marketing efforts and then judging how likely they are to purchase your product or service after you have made contact. The alternative is a top-down forecast where you look at the total size of a market and work out how much of that market you can capture. Top-down forecasts can lead you down a misleading path which is why we will focus on the bottom up method.
Step 1: Research your competition and your customers.
Step 2: Use this data to predict a stable sales volume and price points that work.
Step 3: Now, how do we get there?
Market research should be your primary source of data if you don't have existing sales of your own to base your forecast on. There are broadly two kinds of marketing research – competitor research and customer research. Both have impacts on the price and volume of sales you will be forecasting.
Your competitors include anyone whose products and services customers are spending money on instead of yours. So if you are a bakery, you are not just in competition with other bakeries, but cafes and supermarkets.
The prices your competitors are selling their products/services at.
Roughly how many of each product/service your competitors sell or have sold.
Find out how your competitors approach their customers.
You probably have a good idea of who your customers are – but if not customer research is doubly important. Your customers are anybody who might buy from you, but it's generally best to concentrate your research efforts on 2-4 groups of customers that have certain identifiable qualities that cause them to act in similar ways when purchasing products. For example, if your customers are micro businesses or 'one man bands' they will have more in common with the purchasing habits of members of the public than large businesses or public organisations.
What groups your customers fall into – the more specific the better.
What they want. Ahh, the golden goose of market research!
How much they are willing to pay for your product or service.
What they are currently doing instead of buying your product or service.
There are many more nuanced questions as well that will depend on the type of business you are running.
There are two ways to go about this. I advise trying both to get a fuller understanding of the figures you are playing with.
If they have a similar product or service to yours and they sell 100 a month for £200 each, then as long as the costs of the business can be supported by this income alone, you know their business model is viable.
Many other factors may lead to this £20,000 a month your competitor generates though. Do they have a 12-year history of loyal customers, ultra-competitive prices or hard to replicate expertise? And will you be competing for the same customers, or is there is wide enough market for both of your businesses to flourish without having to actively compete with one another (are you in different but similar sectors, for example)?
The idea behind conversions is simple. Here is an example – there are 100 potential customers for your business out there in the world. 20% of them come into your 'shop' (or equivalent), and 10% of these shoppers actually buy. This results in a 2% overall conversion rate.
How many customers for your product or service are there that you can reach with your marketing/advertising strategies?
How many of these potential customers per month can you attract to your store/website/practice? Estimate the cost of attracting each potential customer.
How many of these potential customers will actually buy from you? Is there an additional cost to this in terms of time or money?
The first place to start is to look at what similar competitors charge. They have already done their own market research and have carefully chosen price points that they can successfully sell at. Your competitors' pricing also gives an indication of what customers are willing to pay for similar products or services to your own. Further information could be gained by surveys, interviews of from existing data if you are lucky enough to have any.
Do you want an easy tool for planning your sales forecast?
The sales forecast you can create with the research above is the forecast you can expect when your business is up and running. Along with the expenditure and purchases from other parts of your Brixx plan, they prove the prices and volume the business will need to be successful.
Make several different predictions for your sales volume and pricing – and see where the danger points lie for the business. If your sales are 25% lower than you expect, does the business run out of money at any point in your plan? Can you keep up with demand if sales are 25% higher than you expect? Experimenting with different assumptions like this will ensure you can predict the kind of performance that could hinder or harm your business, and allow you to make cost-saving, marketing or fundraising preparations in advance should they occur.
But getting your business to this stage is another matter. At some point in every business' life, it has no customers and no revenue. Ramping up from this point to being the self-sustaining, profitable business you have forecast can be quite a journey. But knowing where you are heading is half of the battle.
Now you have goals to achieve and a realistic sense of what your business needs to look like in order to be successful.
Now you can start the next stage of your forecasting… answering the question "how do we get there?" I'll be covering this in a future article. Suffice to say for now – predicting growth is a discipline fraught with over-optimism! But by modelling your whole business, rather than just a sales forecast, you'll be well equipped to make good predictions about the costs and speed of growth.
To start with, plan in general terms. Start a forecast, and put some figures in that are similar to your closest competitors, or drawn from industry standard conversion rates. You can change them and in fact, you will, as you refine your research and learn more and more about your business and others like it. But it is a realistic starting point, in a very real sense. Another business has achieved this, and so, in time could you.

Happy Aquarium Review
By Jim Squires | 13 years ago
When it comes to aquarium games on Facebook, Happy Aquarium is easily the biggest fish in the sea. With more than 28 million players every month as of this writing, it's not only the most popular aquarium game – it's the 5th most popular app on Facebook. And yet despite these massive numbers, once you get ankle deep in tank water you can't help but wonder why anyone would find this relatively shallow offering so appealing. Happy Aquarium may be the biggest fish in the sea, but it spreads itself too thin to be considered the best.
Happy Aquarium, unlike many of its chief rivals, is a game that doesn't take itself too seriously. Cartoony visuals and forgiving game design make this an experience well-suited to gamers who don't have the time or patience to commit to the massive fish farms of Fish World or Fishville. While much of the game shares common themes with other aquarium sims on Facebook, Happy Aquarium does a good deal to set itself apart and create a truly unique experience.
Getting new fish, for example, can be tackled in a far more natural way than visiting the in-game fish shop. Sure you can buy them in the store if you want to, but Happy Aquarium also allows you to mate fish to produce more eggs. It's a little touch, but it's a nice way to fill your tank without having to spend in-game coins. Plus it leads to an adorable little mating dance animation, and who doesn't love to see two little fishies in love?
Unlike other games that are only about breeding and selling, Happy Aquarium also includes a number of mini-games that give the genre some much needed variety. In a surprising twist for a game of this nature the mini-games are somewhat action-oriented. Hunting treasure, for example, will have you guiding a fish of your choosing around and through coral and other obstacles on the hunt for an elusive chest. Training your fish, on the other hand, will have you clicking on hazardous obstacles to remove them as your fish tries to safely navigate his way to the finish line.
Spicing things up like this is a welcome change for aquarium sims, but the games included in Happy Aquarium failed to really excite us or hold our attention. An A+ for concept, but a C at best for execution. The mini-games themselves aren't terrible, but they're overly simplistic and get repetitive fairly quickly. Considering you'll need to play them over and over again, it would have been great to see some variety. We love the idea of mini-games in an aquarium sim and praise developer Crowdstar for introducing them here, but the light and repetitive gameplay offered by each really rob the experience of its intended goal.
This sort of repetition and ease of gameplay made Happy Aquarium feel shallow despite the breadth of content that the game offered. It would be impossible to argue that Happy Aquarium somehow offered less gameplay than its competitors, and yet it feels like it does despite evidence to the contrary. Add to that fish that never seem to die and can be sold at any time, and you've got a game that skews far too much into the "beginner-friendly" category to have a lasting appeal.
Maybe it's best to view Happy Aquarium as a starter fish tank rather than a full-size 30-gallon behemoth. We applaud the initiative in taking a different direction than many of its competitors, but the game sometimes flubs in its execution. While we hate to argue with popular opinion, it turns out that 28,000,000 Happy Aquarium fans can be wrong. It's a shallow experience that may hold some appeal for part-time players, but for the rest of us who want a fish game to catch us hook, line and sinker, Happy Aquarium floats belly-up at the top of the tank just waiting to be flushed.

Le combat de Tessit se déroule le  pendant la guerre du Mali.

Contexte

La ville de Tessit se situe dans la région des , près du Burkina Faso et du Niger. Les djihadistes du Groupe de soutien à l'islam et aux musulmans, affiliés à al-Qaïda, et de l'État islamique dans le Grand Sahara y sont particulièrement actifs et s'en disputent le contrôle. En 2021, une attaque de l'État islamique près du camp militaire avait notamment causé la mort de 33 soldats maliens.

L'État islamique dans le Grand Sahara est également depuis plusieurs mois en offensive contre l'armée malienne et les miliciens touaregs du MSA-GATIA dans la région de Ménaka.

Déroulement
Le 7 août 2022, le camp militaire de Tessit est attaqué par des djihadistes de l'État islamique dans le Grand Sahara.

D'après RFI, les djihadistes auraient infiltré l'intérieur du camp avant de lancer l'attaque. Dans un premier temps, les assaillants tirent des obus de mortier par l'est, position la moins défendue du camp. Les djihadistes mènent ensuite des assauts sur les deux autres côtés du camp. Ils parviennent à y pénétrer et en repartent en emportant une grande quantité de matériel militaire.

Selon l'armée malienne, l'attaque est vraisemblablement commise par les djihadistes de l'État islamique dans le Grand Sahara, qui bénéficient d'. Dans un communiqué, elle affirme que , accusant, sans la nommer, la France d'avoir aidé les djihadistes.

Par la suite, le ministre des Affaires étrangères maliennes, Abdoulaye Diop, affirme qu'un hélicoptère Chinook a été surpris par les renforts militaires maliens en route sur Tessit et s'est enfuit en prenant de l'altitude alors qu'il semblait venir des lieux de l'attaque. L'armée française ne dispose cependant d'aucun hélicoptère Chinook, les seuls appareil de ce type au Mali étant utilisés par les Britanniques.

Pertes
Le 8 août, l'armée malienne donne un bilan de seulement quatre militaires, deux civils et cinq djihadistes tués.

Le matin du 9 août, l'armée malienne revoit son bilan à la hausse et annonce au moins 17 morts, 22 blessés et neuf disparus dans ses rangs, ainsi que quatre civils tués. Parmi les civils tués figurent plusieurs élus locaux. Du côté des djihadistes, elle donne un bilan de sept tués.

Le même jour, le journaliste Wassim Nasr donne pour sa part un bilan de plus de 30 militaires et 10 civils tués.

Le 10 août, le bilan passe cependant à 42 morts d'après un document officiel listant nominativement les militaires décédés, authentifié par plusieurs hauts responsables militaires à l'AFP.

Ce bilan est confirmé peu après par l'armée malienne, qui fait état de 42 morts et 22 blessés. Le nombre des djihadistes tués est également élevé à 37.

L'ONG Armed Conflict Location and Event Data project (Acled) confirme le bilan de 42 morts militaires et fait également état de 10 civils tués.

La junte malienne décrète trois jours de deuil national.

Il s'agit alors de l'attaque la plus meurtrière commise contre les Forces armées maliennes depuis 2019 avec l'attaque d'Indelimane.

Pulmonary Aspiration: Foreign Bodies and Massive Aspiration
John L. Colombo, MD, FAAP, and Paul H. Sammut, MB, BCh, FAAP, FCCP
•Aspiration of materials that are foreign to the lower respiratory tract is a relatively common event seen in the typical pediatric practice, in terms of both prevalence and severity of illness.
•Aspiration may occur in healthy children and adults and may be clinically undetectable, but it may also be a normal event, occurring particularly during sleep.
•Acute aspiration may be life-threatening, particularly when it involves massive aspiration of gastric contents, hydrocarbons, or foreign bodies.
•Dysphagia with aspiration is reportedly the most common cause of recurrent pneumonia that results in hospitalization.
•The 3 major types of aspiration lung disease are (1) airway foreign body, (2) massive aspiration, and (3) recurrent small-volume aspiration (discussed in Chapter 74, Gastroesophageal Reflux and Recurrent Small-Volume Aspiration).
•While infectious consequences may develop secondary to any of these events, infectious pneumonia is discussed in Part IV, Section 2 of this book: Parenchymal Infections.
Airway Foreign Body: Mechanical Obstruction
•Aspiration of foreign bodies is most common at 1–3 years of age, but it occurs in all age groups. The incidence is up to twofold higher in boys.
•Food is the most commonly aspirated material in toddlers, whereas small, nonedible objects are more commonly aspirated in older children (see Box 73-1).
•Most children have a sudden onset of symptoms. However, in ≥25% of cases, the parents are not aware of any aspiration or choking event.
•There is often an asymptomatic period after the choking spell, once the foreign body becomes lodged in the lower tracheobronchial tree.
Box 73-1. Foreign Bodies Commonly Aspirated by Children
Nonorganic
Pen pieces
•The most common presentation is a history that includes a choking event, followed by acute cough, but parents will often not associate an acute short coughing event with a foreign body.
•A careful history should be obtained to elicit the details surrounding the beginning of a cough. Transient or persistent cough is the primary symptom in approximately 75% of children with foreign bodies in the airway (Box 73-2).
•Physical findings may demonstrate asymmetrical chest expansion, decreased breath sounds over the affected lung, and/or localized wheezing, or findings may be normal. However, a tracheal foreign body is more likely associated with bilateral wheezing, which is usually monophonic in nature.
Box 73-2. When to Suspect Foreign-Body Aspirationa
•Sudden onset of respiratory symptoms (stridor, wheeze, cough)
•Patient is in the highest-risk age group of 1–3 years
•Patient has a history of choking events
•Radiographic findings include air trapping and/or atelectasis, especially on decubitus or inspiratory-expiratory views
a Refer the patient if there is a high or low level of suspicion for foreign-body aspiration in the presence of persistent symptoms or findings.
•Chest radiographic findings, carefully reviewed, are often highly suggestive of either radiopaque or radiolucent opaque foreign bodies (see Figure 73-1).
•Most foreign bodies are radiolucent; thus, indirect evidence is usually needed for a diagnosis. Bilateral decubitus radiographs are most useful in children because they require no patient cooperation (Figure 73-2). Inspiratory-expiratory radiographs can yield a diagnosis in older, may not cause asymmetrical findings.
cooperative children (Figure 73-3). Foreign bodies cause air trapping on
the affected side from a ball-valve effect. Regardless of whether decubitus
or inspiratory-expiratory radiographs are obtained, the abnormal lung is
identified by the fact that it does not deflate and remains unchanged on
all images. Tracheal or bilateral foreign bodies, which are fortunately rare,
•A chest radiograph with normal findings does not exclude a foreign body in the airway. Fluoroscopy, preferably pulsed low-dose fluoroscopy, is an option for quickly and inexpensively further evaluating children with unclear radiographic findings and uncooperative children.
•Atelectasis may be a later finding and may occur with complete airway obstruction.
•Low-dose multidectector computed tomography and virtual bronchoscopy are most useful for detecting residual foreign bodies after bronchoscopies if the patient remains symptomatic or has continued abnormalities on plain radiographs (Figure 73-4).
Figure 73-1. Foreign body in a young child. Frontal chest radiograph in a 9-year-old boy shows a large nail lodged in the trachea and the right mainstem bronchus, which is causing right middle lobe atelectasis and obscuring the right-sided heart margin and right hemidiaphragm. Air bronchograms are also noted.
Figure 73-2. Foreign body (peanut) in the right mainstem bronchus. A. Right and B. left lateral decubitus radiographs show no change in the volume of the right lung with
a change in patient position, which indicates air trapping. Conversely, the left lung changes in volume with the change in patient position, which is a normal finding that indicates no air trapping. The peanut was removed via a bronchoscope.
Figure 73-3. Chest radiographs of an 11-year-old boy with a left mainstem foreign body (a tire chip). Frontal A. inspiratory and B. expiratory images are shown. The normal right lung deflates during expiration, whereas the abnormal left lung remains unchanged in volume. The incidental finding of right aortic arch is noted. From Colombo J, Sammut PH. Aspiration (foreign body, food, chemical). In: Light MJ, Blaisdell CJ, Homnick DN, Schechter MS, Weinberger MM, eds. Pediatric Pulmonology. Elk Grove Village, IL: American Academy of Pediatrics; 2011:619–636.
•If complete airway obstruction occurs with a witnessed choking event, abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) are indicated for children >1 year of age. For infants <1 year of age, place the infant in the head-down position and perform chest thrusts and back blows.
•If a foreign body is likely, on the basis of the history, physical examination findings, or radiographic findings, referral for bronchoscopy should be made as soon as possible. Rigid bronchoscopy should be performed as
Figure 73-4. Foreign body in a 3-year-old boy. Coronal computed tomographic image shows the foreign body (circled) at the takeoff of the left upper lobe bronchus.
soon as safely possible (a) to prevent possible dislodgement of the foreign body into a more central and potentially life-threatening position in the airway, (b) to reduce local inflammation, which might make the foreign body more difficult to remove, and (c) to reduce parenchymal lung complications, including pneumothorax, atelectasis, and bronchiectasis.
•Small distal foreign bodies may require special instrumentation and, sometimes, fiber-optic bronchoscopy. If the diagnosis of foreign body is less certain, flexible bronchoscopy can be used to confirm this diagnosis, provide another diagnosis, and, sometimes, prevent the need for more invasive, rigid bronchoscopy.
•Rarely, a thoracotomy with bronchotomy may be necessary to remove a deeply embedded foreign body.
•Providing preemptive education to parents of infants and toddlers should be standard in pediatric practice. This includes advising parents that commonly aspirated foods, such as peanuts or similarly sized foods and other objects, should be kept out of reach, that food should be cut into small pieces, and that latex balloons should not be allowed in the home.
• A history of acute choking should never be ignored.
• Any child with a sudden onset of choking, followed by coughing or wheezing, should be referred for evaluation via rigid bronchoscopy.
• Refer the patient if the diagnosis is in question.
• A child with a choking event but no further symptoms, such as cough, dyspnea, fever, and normal physical examination and chest radiographic findings, may not require bronchoscopy. However, if the choking event is followed by any of these findings, referral should be immediate.
• Refer any child for flexible bronchoscopy in the presence of (a) chronic problems, such as persistent chest radiographic abnormalities, wheezing, or cough that is unresponsive to asthma therapy, or (b) recurrent pneumonias in the same location, even if there is no history for choking. Although flexible bronchoscopy is generally not used for removal of a foreign body, it has advantages for the initial procedure in that infected secretions are easier to culture (common in retained foreign bodies), and it can be used to help plan the best strategy for subsequent removal with a pediatric surgeon and/or otolaryngologist.
• Follow-up is important to monitor the patient for late-onset signs or symptoms and to obtain repeat radiographs if these symptoms develop.
When to Admit
• Admit any child that has (a) chronic problems, such as persistent chest radiographic abnormalities, wheezing, or cough that is unresponsive to asthma therapy, or (b) recurrent pneumonia, if bronchoscopy cannot be performed promptly. The child should be hospitalized for close observation with nil per os (nothing by mouth) status until bronchoscopy can be performed.
• Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has been lifesaving in unusually complicated cases when a tracheal foreign body could not be removed without the potential loss of airway support.
Massive Aspiration
• Large-volume aspiration is typically associated with vomiting, particularly with an altered level of consciousness, during which upper-airway protective reflexes are diminished.
• This may occur in children with trauma, seizures, or clinically significant underlying neuromotor disorders, as well as during general anesthesia.
• Animal studies have shown that volumes >1 mL/kg or pH levels <2.5 are associated with the most severe outcomes, although aspiration of particulate material also contributes to clinically significant lung injury.
• When acute massive aspiration is suspected, immediate management is paramount.
•There is no difficulty in establishing the diagnosis of acute aspiration when the patient is observed to vomit and choke immediately afterward. Whether witnessed or not, the patient typically presents with dyspnea and, possibly, cyanosis.
•Evidence of vomitus may still be present in the oropharynx. If the child has a tracheostomy tube, suctioning of the tube should be performed and may return some formula or stomach contents.
•Clinical observation frequently reveals accessory muscle use and retractions. Coarse inspiratory crackles may be auscultated throughout the chest. Wheezes of varying pitch may also be found. In severe cases, the patient may have lost consciousness or experienced respiratory arrest. Generalized seizures may occur secondary to associated hypoxic encephalopathy.
•If it is suspected that inhaled substances had large particulate
matter, bronchoscopy may be warranted once a secure or safe airway is established.
—Identification and removal of large airway particles are of diagnostic value, as well as potential therapeutic value.
—If no large particles are seen in the airways, bronchoalveolar lavage may still demonstrate diagnostic foreign material, such as meat or vegetable fibers.
—If lipid is aspirated, lipid-laden macrophages may be observed within a few hours after aspiration.
•The classic findings are "asthma-like," as described by Mendelson, whose original description was of complications of aspiration during obstetric anesthesia.
—These findings may include coughing, wheezing, tachypnea, and possibly cyanosis.
—After a latent period of 1–3 hours, fever and crackles may develop.
—Initial radiographic findings typically show bilateral multilobar infiltrates, which then worsen over the next 24–36 hours secondary to the inflammatory response (Figure 73-5).
—Perioperative aspiration is uncommon with anesthesia today.
•Bronchoscopy may play a role in some cases of massive aspiration.
•There is no value in attempting to neutralize acid aspiration, because this occurs endogenously within seconds after the event.
•Corticosteroids have not been shown to be beneficial. However, if administered immediately—essentially simultaneously with an aspiration event—there may be some benefit.
Figure 73-5. Aspiration due to foreign body in a 3-year-old girl who vomited and aspirated a large volume of gastric material. Frontal chest radiograph shows right lower lobe focal opacity. An endotracheal tube, nasogastric tube, and central line overlie the midtrachea, stomach, and superior vena cava, respectively.
•Antibiotics are not indicated in the immediate treatment of most cases of large-volume aspiration.
•General supportive measures, including supplemental oxygen, bronchodilators, and mechanical ventilation, are the mainstays of acute treatment.
•Antibiotics are generally reserved for suspected infectious complications of a chemical pneumonitis. If antibiotics are deemed necessary for a severely compromised patient or for other reasons, they should be individualized, depending on the clinical situation.
—For example, if the patient has been institutionalized, more broad-spectrum antibiotics would be warranted, including coverage for gram-negative bacteria, as well as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and anaerobes.
•For patients at risk for vomiting and aspiration:
—Gastric volume should be minimized.
—Gastric acid suppression should be considered.
—Elevating the head of the bed to 30–45 degrees, avoiding excess sedation (if possible), and monitoring gastric residual volumes during enteral feedings may all be helpful preventive measures.
—If vomiting is witnessed in a patient with a poorly protected airway or an artificial airway, immediate suctioning of the airway is critical.
•A child with recurrent pneumonia or persistent chest radiographic abnormality, dysphagia, coughing or choking with feedings, or recurrent wheezing that is not responsive to routine asthma therapy should be referred for further evaluation.
•Refer the patient if aspiration is suspected in the presence of severe under- lying disease, such as congenital heart disease or pulmonary hypertension.
•All patients who become rapidly dyspneic from large-volume aspiration should be admitted.
•Unless the physical examination findings, oxygen saturation level, and chest radiographic findings are normal, all patients suspected to have large-volume aspiration should be admitted for close observation.
•If a patient is able to maintain near-normal blood oxygen levels with reasonable amounts of supplemental oxygen (fraction of inspired oxygen [FIO2] <0.6), is only mildly or moderately dyspneic, is not in an altered neurological state, and can be monitored by experienced staff, it is reasonable that he or she can be cared for in a community hospital.
•The patient should be observed closely for a minimum of 48 hours because late-onset deterioration can occur.
•A child whose condition deteriorates rapidly, requires increasing oxygen supplementation, becomes obtunded, or requires intubation and assisted ventilation should be transferred to a center with pediatric pulmonary and critical care specialists. It is likely that, in these situations, the patient will require prolonged and intensive treatment and will require extended follow-up in specialty clinics.

•A high index of suspicion is necessary for airway foreign body because the history, physical examination findings, and radiographic findings may be normal. The ultimate diagnosis can often only be established by means of bronchoscopy. Choking episodes should never be ignored.

Midge before and after burns associated with EMF exposure.
I want to thank you for your humility posting in the best interests of so many. Professionals and people across the globe need to see this post because it is applicable to 100% of them. You are not hypersensitive to your electrocution and associated hell that will result from being put in a man-made microwave oven.
It is critically important for health and other applicable professionals to expand on this in their capacity. It is a sad reality that politics with special interests associated with wireless have changed medical diagnosis, healthcare and superseded all laws without going through any regulatory processes.
Declassified military documents admitted "laboratory research is still being pursued to identify mechanisms of interaction. However, other than thermal heating for microwave frequencies, there is no agreed-upon mechanism of action." Highlighted on page 1 http://thermoguy.com/wp-content/uploads/Bioeffects-of-Selected-Non-Lethal-Weapons.pdf Missing the mechanisms and not understanding them is the reason they speak of thermal heating only. Yakov Schkolnikov of Exponent Inc confirmed in my cross-examination during BCUC hearings on FortisBC smart meters that inducing electrical currents produced heat. Schkolnikov confirmed the high speed oscillations 1.8 billion times per second and 4.9 billion times per second of the RF EMFs of the two antennas in the meter produces heat.
FortisBC's expert, Yakov Schkolnikov of Exponent Inc confirmed in my cross-examination during BCUC hearings that Health Canada's Safety Code 6, FCC and IEEE(global) all use the same science standards.
Safety Code 6(2009) Page 7, 2nd paragraph states "The specific biological responses to RF energy are generally related to the rate of energy absorbed. The rate and distribution of RF energy absorption depends strongly on the frequency, intensity and orientation of the incident fields as well as the body size and its constitutive properties (dielectric constant and conductivity)." The fact codes admit energy is absorbed is an admission of harm.
The above quote from Safe Code 6(2009) should have set off alarm bells. It means exposure and impossible calculations would have to be done for ANY change in frequency, power density, size, weight, orientation to the EMF, toxic load, etc. Power Density is watts which is volts X amps and .1 of 1 microwatt altered brainwaves in the Dect Phone Study. There is zero acceptable exposure to wireless electricity. There are real reasons we wire the world.
Just the orientation to the EMF at 60 Hz has killed electricians. One example is single power lines can be very dangerous and that is called extremely low frequencies at 60 Hz. In the Okanagan, a lineman was working on a dead power line running parallel to a live line. The lines were reported to be 70 feet apart(7 stories), the live line electromagnetically induced the dead line killing the lineman immediately. If the dead line was perpendicular to the live line, he would have lived.
When it comes to interaction with the human body, think of the nerves, circulatory, system, organs, brain, bones, etc going in all directions in the body. Imagine nerves running parallel to the EMFs and being severely compromised and other parts of nerves at different angles of orientation impacted differently. It has to equate to a physiological hell.
The bottom line is these RF EMFs are not supposed to hit people and Dr. William Bailey confirmed in my cross-examination that people had to be exposed to be hurt. The Specific Absorption Rate test left out the antennas and EMFs hitting you from head to toe. The test is also an admission that electrical currents are being induced. When currents are induced, that increases cellular voltages and is confirmed using Ohm's Law where Volts = Current X Resistance. Induce currents, voltages increase. That isn't for debate.
Dr. Joan Moffat confirmed in Penticton's Moderated Forum on smart meters that it is a biological fact that a .2 micro volt(millionths of 1 volt) increase changes White Blood Cells, .4 micro volt increase changes mood. Safety Code 6(2009) admits EMFs trigger nerves and muscles, Dr. Peter Goldberg expanded on that by stating the nervous, hormonal and immune systems work intricately together. This qualifies your nervous, hormonal and immune systems are compromised at the same time. Dr. Bailey confirmed in my cross-examination that the nervous, hormonal and immune systems work intricately together.
Delta waves in the brain when sleeping or healing are reported to be .2 Hz which is .2 cycles per second. If the frequencies associated with cell phones or smart meters is 900 MHz, which is 900 million cycles per second. Wi-Fi at 2.45 GHz is 2.45 billion cycles per second. I asked Schkolnikov under oath, "What happens when you mix 2 frequencies?" He replied you get 4 resultant frequencies. You get the sum of the 2, the difference between them and the 2 you started with.
The sum of the 2 frequencies isn't mathematically adding them up. During our electrical apprenticeship in lab work, we would use an oscilloscope to see the frequency change where it literally isn't recognized by the device.
The W.H.O. reported cell phones as "possibly" carcinogenic May 31, 2011. If Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper had reported to the W.H.O. that Canadian professionals reported missing causation and biological plausibility in exposure codes, cell phones would be carcinogenic.
Causation is proven as soon as the RF EMF grids are technically incorporated into the SAR test. Biological plausibility is proven the second you incorporate all the bio-electrical information of humans into the SAR test. The SAR test is a plastic head or body part with liquid in it and is flat earth science. It should be an aquarium.
The missing mechanism of interaction is the highly penetrating EMFs hitting something. The mechanisms of action are the EMFs hitting atoms and molecules. Literally all sciences with associated industries have to incorporate the atoms and molecules of their area of expertise.
Midge, I can never apologize enough to you and others what has happened to you. It never should have happened but this is the reality of a weakened professional gene pool, greed and incredible stupidity getting together. That said they are and will be liable including criminally.
The Integrative Health Forum, GEDI and associates put on the most advanced education in the world for Continuing Medical Education credits required for ongoing medical licensing. It is the highest standard and not about sales or conflicts of interest. We can't lecture and sell products.
Medical professionals around the world have been blindsided as have the patients looking for help. People hurt by EMFs are referred to as EHS and all that has changed. People across the board need to print or forward the letter at this link. The causal evidence linking RF EMFs to adverse health effects has been lectured for CME credits meaning this is now medical education.
This is the reason retired RN Donna Bohannon interviews Professor Curtis Bennett and others. This isn't a debate.


Foam concrete machine is used to make CLC blocks, walls, houses, etc.
Today we are talking about CLC blocks. CLC blocks are a bubble-shaped heat insulating material, and the prominent feature is that a closed foam hole is formed inside the concrete to make the concrete lightweight and heat-insulated.
The density of foam concrete blocks is 200~1200kg/m3, 200~300kg/m3 is ultra-low density block, 400~500kg/m3 is low density block, 600~800kg/m3 is medium density block, 900~1200kg /m3 is a high density block.
The foam concrete block made of fly ash, sand, stone powder, tailings, construction waste and calcium carbide powder has the technical performance to meet the national standard requirements of JS 1062-2007 "foam concrete block". Compared with clay bricks and hollow bricks, it has high strength and is not afraid of impact, good stability, dry shrinkage is not easy to crack, sound insulation performance is good, and it is resistant to water and moisture. It overcomes the Achilles heel of clay bricks and hollow bricks that cannot be used as exterior walls, and both interior and exterior walls can be used. Especially its low cost, it is even more difficult to get clay bricks and hollow bricks.
Foamed concrete blocks overcome the inconvenience of single-piece weight construction, and can not be drilled and nailed, which is not convenient for secondary decoration, airtight and moisture-proof, and uncomfortable living.
The production cost of foam concrete blocks is even lower than that of ordinary concrete blocks. Moreover, its sound insulation performance is better than that of ordinary concrete blocks, especially because it has a breathable and moisture-proof function. The wall surface of the rainy weather does not damp, and people live in it very comfortable, which is very popular among users.
At the same time, the main raw materials of foam concrete blocks are waste brick slag, fly ash, stone powder, tailings and sand, which realizes waste recycling and is a green building material product. The blocks are made by our foam concrete machine is high qualified, smooth surface, advanced performance.
The outer wall surface of the ordinary smooth block has a layer of 1~2mm high-density surface layer. This surface layer not only has high-strength crack resistance, but also has anti-seepage and waterproofing. It can greatly reduce the wall surface after the block wall is built. The water absorption rate improves the frost resistance and weathering resistance, which greatly prolongs the service life of the block, overcomes the high water absorption rate of the aerated concrete block, needs to apply the interface agent when the wall is brushed, and the wall surface is easy to crack and Insufficient empty drums. This foam concrete block with a dense surface layer can save the mortar and interface agent after the masonry, saving labor and materials. Therefore, compared with aerated concrete, the block has a long service life, good weather resistance, and does not require a comprehensive advantage such as plastering mortar, which is 2% to 5% lower than the total cost of the aerated concrete wall.
2. Active admixtures such as primary or secondary fly ash and slag powder.
3. Foaming agent. When fast hard Portland cement or sulphoaluminate cement is used, various foaming agents can be used. When ordinary Portland cement is used, high-speed foaming agent must be used because of its slow condensation and easy defoaming. .
4. Slurry stabilizer, free to provide formula homemade.
5. Ordinary Portland cement accelerator, mainly to improve the condensation speed of ordinary Portland cement, reduce foam burst, improve mold turnover.
3. Pouring the foamed concrete slurry is poured into the pouring pump, and different products can be made by using different molds.
4, Maintenance: Conditional constant temperature and humidity conditions for 2 to 3 days. After demoulding, naturally maintain for 7 to 10 days.
Our foam concrete machine is especially designed to make CLC blocks, and also, we provide foam agent, CLC block molds, etc. If you are interested, pls contact us freely.

Q: Sticky sidebar scrolling lag and infinite scroll I have a sidebar that scrolls down with the page. However, the sidebar seems to lag behind the scrolling of the page, ex. scroll down and sidebar shows up a few seconds later. Also, the sidebar will keep going down, making the page longer, and causing the footer to become inaccessible. What do I need to do to make the sidebar move with the scroll and for the sidebar to stop moving at the footer? Here is my jQuery code:
            $(function() {

                var $sidebar   = $("aside"),
                    $window    = $(window),
                    offset     = $sidebar.offset(),
                    topPadding = 50;

                $window.scroll(function() {
                    if ($window.scrollTop() > offset.top) {
                        $sidebar.stop().animate({
                            marginTop: $window.scrollTop() - offset.top + topPadding
                        });
                    } else {
                        $sidebar.stop().animate({
                            marginTop: 0
                        });
                    }
                });

            });

An example can be seen at http://meddiary.com/plans-pricing/. Fixing the code is welcomed but just pointing me in the right direction is the best.

A: Try solving it with pure CSS:
.affix {
  position: fixed;
}

Or you can use an existing jQuery plugin like this one:
http://andrewhenderson.me/tutorial/jquery-sticky-sidebar/

A: This is how I fixed my issue:
            if ($(window).width() > 767) {

                var $sidebar   = $("aside"),
                    $window    = $(window),
                    offset     = $sidebar.offset(),
                    topPadding = 50;

                $window.scroll(function() {
                    if($window.scrollTop() > $('h3').offset().top) {
                        $sidebar.stop().css('marginTop', '680px');
                    } else if ($window.scrollTop() > offset.top) {
                        $sidebar.stop().animate({
                            marginTop: $window.scrollTop() - offset.top + topPadding
                        }, 100, function() {
                        });
                    } else {
                        $sidebar.stop().animate({
                            marginTop: 0
                        });
                    }
                });

            };

if ($(window).width() > 767) part keeps the sidebar from scrolling if the viewport is wider than 767px. if($window.scrollTop() > $('h3').offset().top) { $sidebar.stop().css('marginTop', '680px'); } part is for when the top of the viewport hits the desired element, h3, the scrolling stops. That part must be first because the else if statement is always true! Then I just reduced the animation time to stop the lagging.

OLD DIARY LEAVES, Sixth Series (1896-98)
CHAPTER XX
THE tedium of the night journey between Amritsar and Lucknow, the capital of Oudh, and our next halting-place, was enlivened by the congenial company of the Sirdar Umrao Singh, of Lahore, his wife and children, for whom a carriage had been reserved and who hospitably made us share it. On reaching Lucknow at about 1 p.m., our dear and respected old colleague, Judge Narain Das, F.T.S., whose zeal for the Society is not diminished by the advance of age or the demands made upon him by his public duties, met us with several other members, including Mr. Ross Scott, C.S., whose friendship for H. P. B. and myself dates back to the voyage of the Speke Hall on which we three were fellow passengers. At that time he was a comparatively young civilian, full of enthusiasm and courage, as befitted his Irish nationality. His charming qualities gained the
RETURNING HOME	299
affection of us both, and the prospect of now meeting him at Lucknow where he was District Judge was extremely pleasant. He sent me a note to say that he could not meet us as he was holding court at the time. At 4 p.m., however, we went to his house where he was very nice to us, keeping us for dinner, at which we met two ladies and a gentleman of the station and Mr. Campbell of the British Museum, our fellow passenger from Colombo to Madras, who was also Judge Scott's guest.
The Judge drove us the next day to see the city's sights, including the Gardens, the historical Residency of tragical Mutiny fame, etc. A Branch meeting with a reception to outsiders was held at the house of Rai Narain Das Bahadur, and at 4-30 p.m. Miss Edger gave one of her good lectures. Our fleeting visit to Lucknow was brought to an end the next morning at 6 o'clock when we left for Allahabad, which we reached at 3-40 p.m., having stopped an hour and a half at Cawnpore to see our friends. Miss Edger lectured before the Literary Society of Mayo College that evening on the subject of "Female Education". Our host this time was the same as before, Kumar Parmânand. Many friends, including Mr. Roshan Lal, his wife and sister-in-law, Rai Iswari Prasad, Pandit Aditya Ram, etc., came to see us. At 6-30 p.m. we attended and addressed a meeting at the Kyastha Pathasala
300	OLD DIARY LEAVES
and registered thirty-seven names for a class to study Theosophical works and Hindu Philosophy. The next day (March 2nd) I had a touching interview with Babu Cally Kissen, one of the millionaires of the great Tagore family of Bengal, whom I found with his health almost broken up, but, in feeling, the same generous, kind-hearted man as before. In the North Indian Famine of 1897, he remitted the rents of his ryots or agricultural tenants, and paid the Government tax out of his own pocket—a huge charity. At 11-40 p.m. we left for jubbulpore and arrived there at 6-30 a.m. the next morning. Among the friends who met us were Babu Kalicharan Bose, the loyal T.S. veteran and a philanthropist to the bottom of his heart, and our dear Bhavani Shankar, now a seasoned worker and an able Branch Inspector, whose connection with us began far back in the old Breach Candy days at Bombay, when he was a handsome youth with Hyperian curls, but who now at the present time of writing (1906) has become transformed into a handsome old graybeard, known throughout India and respected for his valuable services. The place where our quarters were given us was a draughty, windowless, upper storey suite of rooms which we found extremely uncomfortable but attached no blame therefore to our good hosts who had done the best they could under the circumstances.
Lucknow is a great centre of business activity but not conspicuous for spirituality. It is the pivotal point of the railway system of Oudh and Rohilkund, with extensive machine shops, warehouses and other appanages of railway traffic. There are long established industrial specialities, such as the weaving of gold and silver brocades, plain and printed muslins and calicoes, embroideries, glasswork, including colored bangles in enormous quantities and clay molding, among others of those dainty little figures, costumed and painted like life, which represent many of the persons of all castes and classes whom one sees when going about in India. One would say that Lucknow was a great intellectual centre, for it possesses one hundred and forty printing presses, a paper mill employing 550 hands, and three English and thirty vernacular newspapers. But over the former capital of the Kings of Oudh hangs—if one looks at it from the standpoint of the higher planes—the dark cloud of the aura of the sensual and self-seeking character of the ruling class which made it, up to the time of the British conquest, a cess-pool of animality. There are, of course, some holy men to be found who shine amid this moral gloom, but they are few in number and do not increase.
We slept so cold that night that the next morning I bought some cotton cloth and nailed it across the
open windows of our respective rooms. Our present visit to Jubbulpore included one pleasing incident, the exchange of mutual explanations between an old F.T.S., a Sub-Judge and a man of influence, and myself, and the removal from his mind of an imaginary grievance for which he had kept a grudge against me since 1888 and held himself aloof from our work. Needless to say we both felt glad when the matter was set right. Miss Edger lectured that evening on the subject of religion, in the same open courtyard of a house where I lectured in 1887 and raised a fund of Rs. 2,000 for the support of a Samskrit school. The next day we visited a Hindu Orphanage, founded by Babu Kalicharan Bose, as a Theosophical Society's Famine work. They had thirty-five boys and girls learning weaving, carpentering and other industries. Upon inquiry, I found that they made substantial frames of jungle-wood for Charpâis (Hindu beds), for the extravagant sum of three annas, or about six cents American currency; cotton towels they made at six pies, or one cent, cotton dress cloth at 2¾ annas a yard, sleeping carpets at two annas four pies, or about five cents; at such prices house furnishing would be a very easy affair. The fact is that the absolute requirements of the teeming millions of India are so modest as to offer but small inducements to our Western manufacturers of the thousand and one
articles of furniture, household fittings and other things that we regard as absolute necessaries of life. This is what I reported to the American Government in 1879, when I was acting for it as a Special Commissioner to report what legislation and other steps would be necessary to promote an increase of trade relations between the United States and Eastern countries. After submitting to the inevitable photograph we left for Poona at 8 p.m., passed all night in the train, missed connection at Manmad, were kept there waiting five hours for the next train, got to Dhond at 1-30 a.m. and to Poona at 5 on the morning of the 6th March.
Poona, it will be remembered, is the place where our old and respected colleague, Judge N. D. Khandalwala, Khan Bahadur, has been so long officiating in his judicial capacity with much distinction. He is one of the soundest advisers and most enlightened leaders in our movement in the Orient; a Parsi, universally respected by his co-religionists and by the Bombay Government. He met us at the station, took us to the Napier Hotel and at 9 a.m. gave us a reception at his house at which the most influential gentlemen of the Parsi and Hindu community were presented to Miss Edger. At 5-30 p.m. she lectured to a crowded audience. Monday, the 7th, was a busy day; Judge Khandalwala drove us out in the morning,
then there was a Branch meeting, then one of the E.S.T., and at 5-30 p.m. Miss Edger discoursed on the subject of "The Path of Progress", at Albert Edward Hall. Many years ago, as I have elsewhere explained, I broke up the injudicious system formerly prevailing, of allowing the chief members of local Branches to stop with us at the station, as in duty bound, until our train should come along: no consideration whatever was given either to their own comfort or to ours, the one thing to be avoided was the appearance even of want of courtesy towards the guest or guests. Many a night of sleep had I been deprived of by not interrupting this kindly but unpractical custom. Usually my public engagements for the day would be over by 9 or 10 p.m. and if my train was timed to arrive at 2, 3, or 4 in the morning, one can imagine that the weary traveller would feel only gratitude to his kind hosts if they would drop him at the station at a reasonable bedtime and go to their own homes and beds, leaving him or them to be wakened, and put into the train when it came along, after having had, perhaps, some hours of refreshing sleep. At Poona I persuaded our friends to adopt this plan, so at 9-30 they left us at the station and we departed in our train at 2 the next morning, our destination being Bellary.
We got to Bellary at 8 p.m. We were met, of course, by the officers of the local Branch, The Hon'ble Rai Bahadur A. Sabhapathy Mudaliar, President; Mr. B. P. Narasimmiah, B.A., Secretary, whose name is so well and favorably known for his translations from Samskrit into English for The Theosophist in former times; with them, Mr. R. Jagannathiah, for many years past an Inspector of Branches in the Indian Section. This gentleman, now so intensely orthodox a Hindu, was as intensely heterodox, a free-thinking Bradlaughite, at Madras when we first came there in 1882. Mr. Sabhapathy was one of the most progressive Hindus I have ever met, public-spirited, practical, yet always patriotic and religiously inclined. The land about Bellary is a rich, deep black soil like that of the Illinois prairies, and well adapted to cotton, which is, I believe, the chief crop of the district. Mr. Sabhapathy, as an extensive landowner, was deeply interested in this culture, imported prairie plows from America and used all his influence to get modifications of the pattern which would bring their manufacture within the capacity of the village blacksmith, adopted by the ryots. He was also a grower of sugar-cane and showed me his mills and batteries. Our kind friends lodged Miss Edger and myself in a huge empty house, known as the "Old Bruce Bungalow", the oldest one in the
Station and dating back a century. When it was at last possible to retire for the night Miss Edger found herself quite fagged out by the heat, railway travel, broken rest and lecturing of the long tour. There were many visitors the next day, and we had to go to the headquarters of Jagannathiah's pet society, the Sanmarga Sabha, and of our local Branch, receiving addresses of welcome in English, Samskrit and Telugu. In the evening Miss Edger lectured and later, at 9 p.m., gave audiences to inquirers, after which I put pressure on her and got her to go to bed.
As we were to leave for Gooty early the next afternoon, her lecture was given at 7-30 a.m., but in India that means no necessary diminution in the size of the audience, as our experience at our annual Convention abundantly proves. We had visitors up to two o'clock, received presents of fruit and—from Mr. K. Venkatarow, F. T. S.—of money for society purposes, and at 3-44 p.m., left the Station for our next stopping place, Gooty. Before taking leave of Bellary, it is worth stating that from a remote historical period the district has been the scene of many fierce fights between Moslems and Hindus and between the warlike chieftains of the two races among themselves. Strange to say, there is very little historical record of the place before the sixteenth century, at which
time the ancient Vijayanagaram dynasty was overthrown by the Mahomedans. Before that its varying fortunes are only recalled in traditions, few of them trustworthy. Within the Mahomedan period the territory of Bellary was split up into a number of small military holdings, held by chiefs called Poligârs; an unruly, perhaps unscrupulous set of predatory soldiers who ruled according to their sweet pleasure and enforced their will by the help of the sword. If I remember correctly, they figured in a not very creditable manner during the operations for the suppression of thuggee and dacoity. By turns, the suzerainty of the country was vested in the Mahomedan conquerors and the Bijapur chief, from whom it was wrested by Sivaji, the founder of the Mahratta power. It was then absorbed by the Nizam-ul-Mulk, the nominal Viceroy of the great Mughul in the Deccan. From him it was snatched by Hyder Ali of Mysore. Tipû Sultân got it from the last-named sovereign; but at the close of the British war with Tipû Sultân in 1792, the territories which now form the Bellary District fell to the share of the Nizam of Hyderabad, by whom it was ceded to the British in 1800, in return for a force of English troops to be stationed at his capital. In 1818 the District of Bellary was constituted as it at present remains; thus
bringing it under the sway of that most marvellous thing, rightly called the Pax Britannica.
The above succinct sketch of the political convulsions through which this one agricultural district has passed, I have thought it worth while to insert because it is so typical of the history of all the Indian peninsula. Well, indeed, may the British nation feel proud of this marvellous achievement of administrative genius which has been shown in the welding together of all these hereditarily warring tribes, sects and races into one vast body, administered by the greatest civil service that the world has seen since the time of the Romans. Of course there is a fort at Bellary which afforded shelter by turns to the different warrior chiefs who owned the place. It is built upon a height of 450 feet above the plains, is a quadrangular building on the summit of the rock, with only one way up to it, and deemed impregnable by the Mysore Princes. I mention it for the sake of telling the story of how Hyder Ali treated the French military engineers who helped him to improve the fortifications. They did their best according to his orders; but when he found out that he had made the mistake of fortifying a rock which was dominated by a higher peak, he soothed his pride by hanging the engineers! That was a way they had in the Orient. Do we not all recall the story of the Taj Mahal, that architectural
wonder of the world at Agra, which is said to have been built from the plans and under the superintendence of an Italian architect, although Mahomedan tradition has it that it is a copy of a building in paradise, and that the plan of it was given to Shah Jehan. The story runs that when it was finished the selfish and blood-thirsty emperor put out the eyes of the architect so that he might never produce another building to compare with the Taj Mahal in beauty. Returning from our digression, I now take up the thread of the narrative of this memorable Indian tour of Miss Edger.
Our visit to Gooty was a very brief one. We reached there at 7 p.m. on the 10th March, dined well at the excellent restaurant at the Railway station and were then taken in a torch-light procession to the stone building in which the Samskrit school, started and maintained by our local Branch, is housed, received there an address and were then taken to the travellers' bungalow for quarters. On the 11th there were many inquirers and other visitors and long and friendly conversations with Mr. P. Kesava Pillay and the other admirable workers who have been leading this local group so successfully for so many years. There are three of them specially notable, viz., the one just mentioned, Mr. T. Ramachandra Row and Mr. J. Srinivasa Row. Men like them bring success to any movement with which
they may connect themselves.1 Miss Edger lectured once that day but on the next, the 12th, she lectured at 8 a.m. on the "The Finding of God", and at 6 p.m. on "The Theosophic Life". At 8-30 the same evening we left for Cuddapah. Although our train got there at four o'clock the next morning, I found to my regret, a dozen of our members awaiting us. To my friendly protest against their robbing themselves of their night's rest, they would hardly listen, saying that it was a pleasure for them to be there to meet us at any hour of the night or day we might arrive. They took us to the travellers' bungalow where we received many visitors and suffered no little from the heat for the thermometer stood above 100°. In fact Cuddapah is one of the hottest places in India as well as one of the most fever-stricken, for the thin soil rests upon the stratum of that slaty alluvial rock from which the celebrated slabs of stone so extensively used for paving floors and side-walks are quarried. Despite all local disadvantages, however, Miss Edger lectured once that evening.
1The late Mr. T. Ramachandra Rao retired as a Judicial Officer and served as Provincial and Joint General Secretary of The Theosophical Society in South India for several years. He was an honorary whole time worker touring all the year round at his own expense and doing good Theosophical propaganda. He acted as General Secretary for India in 1923. The late Mr. Srinivasa Rao, a retired lawyer, also did useful work as a whole time worker, writer and lecturer for many years.—Ed.
The next day, the 14th March, was the last one of this long tour. Miss Edger lectured at 7 a.m. on "The Finding of God", at 6 p.m. on "The Theosophic Life", held two conversation meetings in the morning and afternoon, and after the evening lecture, addressed the ladies of some sixty families on "Religion and Female Duty". Then came kindly farewells, and finally at 10-50 p.m. we left for Madras. Early the next morning we got back to our beautiful Adyar, with almost as much joy as the traveller by caravan in the desert who unloads his weary camels in the oasis and rests on the grass beside the spring under the shade of umbrageous trees.
That the tour was a success throughout, has been already stated: it may be repeated that it was preeminently so throughout the whole sixty-five days that it occupied. It gave our new recruit a comprehensive view of Northern India from Madras to Rawalpindi, brought her into contact with its various races and enabled her to realize, as she never could have done in her New Zealand home, the reality of the network of influence which our movement has woven throughout Bharatavarsha.

Dead Teen Screaming Inside the Coffin / Latest News
Family smashes tomb of pregnant teen girl who woke up in coffin 'screaming for help'
by Anung Bago · September 9, 2015
What if you are in the situation where a desperate family smashed a tomb of a pregnant teenager after she reportedly woke up screaming and banging on her coffin for help a day after she was buried? What would you feel if you are seeing them trying to revive their loved one and believing that she is still alive?
A shocking video circulating the web shows loved ones of Neysi Perez using a small sledgehammer to break the concrete tomb holding the coffin of the 16-year-old as they scrambled to save her.
"As I put my hand on her grave I could hear noises inside. I heard banging, then I heard her voice. She was screaming for help," her husband Rudy Gonzales told local TV news Primer Impacto. He also added that it had been a day since they buried her and couldn't believe about the said happenings.
Perez, who was newly married and laid to rest in her wedding dress, mysteriously collapsed after waking up one night to use the bathroom in her Honduras home, according to report. The unconscious teenager, who was three months pregnant, started foaming at the mouth, which led her religious parents to believe she was possessed by an evil being.
A priest tried to perform an exorcism, the report also added but Perez became lifeless and was later declared dead by doctors when taken to the hospital. Her family rushed her back to the hospital after breaking the tomb, but she was still claimed clinically dead.
Cemetery worker Jesus Villanueva told Primer Impacto the hysterical family shouted the girl's name as they pounded away at the concrete. He also added that he heard muffled cries for help. He convinced himself that the screams come only from somewhere else and never imagined that someone is being buried alive.
The family rushed her into the nearest hospital and reported that she was alive so the doctor went through all the necessary procedures. But there was no miracle. The doctor also added that they evaluated and tried everything but the girl was already dead.
Perez appeared to have tried clawing her way out of the coffin based on her fingertips that had been bruised and also claims the glass portion on the top of her coffin was smashed. She was reportedly reburied in the same mausoleum after the confirmation that she is really dead.
What can you say about this? Is she was buried alive or is she totally dead from the beginning? Let us know your opinions below.

The IPF Club Championship 2016 will be held on the 14th and 15th of May 2016 in the Mullingar County Buildings, Mullingar, County Westmeath.
http://dslr-ipf.org/ipfccentry2016/ipfcc2016.html and closing date for entries will be midnight on the 8th of May. The entry fee is €75 and this competition is open to all clubs who are in good standing with the Irish Photographic Federation.
This year the IPF is providing a new set of display stands for the competition. These new display stands will present the images at a slight angle outwards to the viewer and all mounts will be bottom aligned as shown in the picture below. The mounted images will sit freely into trays and therefore there will no requirement to have any velcro or other sticky material to retain the mount to the stand.

Q: Show that the product of bounded functions converges uniformly If $f_n$ and $g_n$ are bounded sequences of functions that converge uniformly on a set $E$, show that $f_ng_n$ converges uniformly on $E$.
What I've tried
Call the functions that $f_n,g_n$ converge to $f,g$, respectively.
My intuition is that normalizing the functions here will help with the argument.
To simplify the notation, I will refer to $f(x)$ as $f$.
We need to show that:
$$\sup_{x\in E} \left| f_ng_n - fg \right| \rightarrow 0$$
We will deal with two cases, first assume that $f,g$ are bounded away from $0$ so that the above is equivalent to:
$$\sup_{x\in E} \left| \frac{f_n}{f}\frac{g_n}{g} - 1 \right| \rightarrow 0$$
factoring out $\frac{f_n}{f}$ we have that the term inside the $\sup$ is:
$$\left |\frac{f_n}{f} \left(\frac{g_n}{g} - 1\right) + \left(\frac{f_n}{f} - 1\right)\right |$$
By the triangle inequality it is sufficient to show that each of these converges to $0$ uniformly. The second term converges uniformly to $0$ from the hypothesis. The first term is:
$$O(1)\left(\frac{g_n}{g} - 1\right)$$
since $f_n$ is bounded and $f$ is bounded away from $0$. This converges uniformly to $0$ by the hypothesis on $g_n$.
Now I'm stuck figuring out how to handle the case where $f,g$ may be arbitrarily close to $0$ for some $x$. Is there some way to complete this argument, or does splitting it into these two cases not make sense here?

A: Hint: $f_ng_n -fg = (f_ng_n -fg_n) + (fg_n -fg).$

Q: Drupal wkhtmltopdf font error  I am using the wkhtmltopdf library within Drupal. The issue I am experiencing is how the fonts are displaying in a PDF view. Each time I convert a HTML page to PDF. The PDF text (p tags) are displayed in the wingdings font.
In the image I've attached above you will see a PDF view showing the p tags in wingdings and the h1 and h2 text is displayed in droid serif.
Having played around with the CSS, I have strangely managed to work out that if I change the font weight to 600 and over the font displays in the PDF view. This is why the h1 + h2 text is being displayed.
My CSS is pretty basic
body, p, p a {
  font-family: "Droid Serif", "Georgia", serif;
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 400;
  }

A: I understand that the fonts being used, were not being recognized in the PDF view. So I researched into why the font styles were displaying in the converted PDF's. I decided to follow this [fix][1 font not working in wkhtmltopdf].
In this solution it mentions encoding fonts using Base64 and then using it with the CSS. I tried various methods for encoding the font types to Base64 and adding them within the style sheet. All my attempts at this seemed to fail.
So I gave up on that and I decided to look into using Google Fonts. I went over to the Google Fonts page. Reading through how it works, I worked out the following css rule;
@import url(//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Droid+Serif|Georgia:400);
  body, p, p a {
  font-family: "Droid Serif", "Georgia", serif;
  }

The CSS rule snippet give's me my desired outcome. The font appears to have not been compromised and it looks exactly like the original webpage. Which is what I was looking for :>)

A: When we had this on just one of our Centos servers it was due to missing fonts. Curiously bold text, large text was just fine, it was ordinary text which was wingdinged !!
yum install dejavu-sans-fonts

What actually solved all our font problems was:-
yum install ghostscript

Schumacher goes out in style
He didn't win, or even make the podium, but today Michael Schumacher showed he is retiring at the peak of his career. After Japan the championship was effectively off, if still possible, and the qualifying fuel problem made a win unlikely but his drive from the start, then recovery from a post puncture 18th (last) to 4th showed what a class act he is.
Controversial, certainly, but without doubt the greatest driver of the modern age. You could argue for Senna or Prost but the combination of Michael, Todt, Brawn & Byrne rebuilt a legend into a modern winning team and I think that is his true legacy.
Yet, somehow it was fitting that although he proved his point with a storming drive it was the next generation that stood on the podium. Schumacher adds a final Fastest Lap to Career Statistics that will be virtually impossible to match. Alonso takes a brilliant second World Championship and Massa a deserved victory in his home GP. If anything it's Massa who has stood out this year. Once fast and erratic he has matured to be a true rival for Michael, for Kimi next year, which is something few expected.
McLarens origin means being a Ferrari fan presents a certain conflict for Kiwi. As a kid it was Niki Lauda, his story & fight for life, that made me a Ferrari fan which makes this quote special:
Schumacher hailed as 'greatest' | BBC SPORT
"He is the outstanding racing driver since the Second World War"
Niki Lauda on Michael Schumacher
I saw one of his 90 wins live, Melbourne 2001, and all the others on the box. Thanks for the privilege.

There are important steps if you want to implement your modern living room ideas. At certain points, you will be aware about some critical aspects about it. To create an ultimate modern living room, we should bring a perfect combination of textures, colors, patterns, or any elements in a planned space. However, it will not be as easy as we thought before. So, here are some easy tips to implement it.
Before applying one of your modern living room ideas, we can check its suitability. How to do it? Let us start it by questioning about your own plan; would it suit your living room design? Sometimes, we are easily attracted to an example in the references. Only with one estimate, we feel confident that it will be very suitable for our room. In fact, there may some things that will not fit the room needs. Usually, it is related to room width which may create obstacles for your plan. As long as you have the appropriate space and right budget, you can immediately implement it.
Next, think about modern furniture ideas. People can make mistakes just because they do not consider the options carefully. Instead of spending the budget for furniture that is not functioning optimally, you need to prepare an ideal concept. Make the focus on its space, so your living room will not lose its identity. It is very important because you need the room focus that will create attraction. Moreover, it will create an ideal layout in a living room with some furniture that supports it.
Trying several options will help you understand the interior designs. Once you find a suitable option, don't stop to explore it on certain developments. Make some considerations about other designs that can be applied to your home. Well, those are easy tips to implement your perfect modern living room ideas.

Use your child's blocks as a math tool to teach measurement.
In the city, people ask, "How many blocks away is that?" Ask your child the same question using stacking blocks. Use blocks as measuring manipulatives to determine how many blocks it takes to reach from the sofa to the toy box. Now try to measure the distance in blocks from the toy box to another piece of furniture. Which is closer? Which is farther away?


Not only do I want to thank our dear Onee for such a great blog and challenge, but also intend to show you how to use some other similar constructions.
My husband, as well as I, has been trying to teach you good grammar and vocabulary for a few years. Both Danny and I would like you to write and to speak correctly, but neither of us can learn any grammar rules or vocabulary for you. I am happy to see you not only take part in our grammar tests but also try using the complicated grammar writing your blogs. Not only Danny but also I am happy to correct fewer and fewer mistakes in every next blog written by you. It is great to realize that many EC learners have improved not only grammar but also vocabulary and have learned many new words, expressions and idioms. Either of us can answer any of your questions, but neither of us can practice instead of you. Neither Dan nor I am immortal, so learn from us as much as you can until we pass away. LOL!
I think it is clear what I am up to, isn't it? I am going to follow Onee's example and to post the similar blog dedicated to NEITHER/EITHER. Would you like me to do it while Danny is on a business trip?
Refers to grouping of things.
"Not only" means there is more than one thing.
"But also" means "this is the additional thing" or "these are the additional things"
Think of it this way: If you mean to say "It's this, or it is that," then use "either / or"
EX: I could wear EITHER the brown sweater OR the yellow one.
If "It is not going to be this, and it is not going to be that," then use "neither / nor"
EX: "NEITHER the new radio, NOR the old one would work."
Thank you, dear Tanya. I will try. But I really need the Danny's magic pill for bigotry. Because soon I will stop sleeping due to my English learning. haha. Or my husband will starve to death.
WOW. Great. I got it. I have never used the word EITHER fully, just in some cases.
Yes, Sveta. Any/anybody/anything means more than two. The same is about NONE/Nobody/nothing. When we speak about two, we say EITHER and NEITHER.
Thank you, Tanya. I got you. If we use ANY It is for many things. If we use EITHER it means we are talking about two things, right?
Dear Sveta! In my blog I speak about two people: Danny and me. In this case ANY is incorrect.
In the sentence: Either of us can answer any of your questions, can we use ANY instead of Either?
Is it the same meaning?
Thanks, Alex is OK. There is nothing serious, just a runny nose.

SAVE SOME CASH: Olfi One.Five 4K Action Camera – £30 OFF in Bank Holiday FLASH SALE
24/08/2018 Ross Mowbray Featured, News
Olfi's One.Five 4K action camera is on sale right NOW – but you better hurry, because you've only got until midnight on Bank Holiday Monday to take advantage of the brilliant offer.
Never heard of Olfi before? Well, that's because the British brand is fairly new to the action cam game – but over the last couple of years, it's made a name for itself thanks to its top-quality, cut-price kit. And this Bank Holiday you can get your hands on the GoPro rivalling 4K camera for £119.99 – SAVING £30!
To give you an idea of what the camera's capable of, here's Aled Price taking on the City Prologue Run at Extreme XL Lagares Porto.
But what features does the Olfi One.Five come with? Well, the big news with this camera is of course its 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) shooting option, allowing UHD (Ultra High Definition) capture at 24FPS (frames per second). It also allows 1080p capture at 60FPS (and at 30FPS), and 720p at 120FPS which is perfect for slow-motion videos (using the 2, 4 or 8x speeds which you can choose via the idiot-proof menu system on the crisp LCD rear screen and associated 'action' buttons). It also sports MicroUSB & HDMI output ports, and the obligatory MicroSD card slot.
But that's not all, because the One.Five also has other tricks up its sleeve, most notably a brilliant (back-lit) Sony Exmor-R CMOS sensor which helps with picture quality and reduces noise-grain in images. It also features gyro-stabilisation (think a digital gimbal), and can take still pictures at 16MP resolutions, and time-lapse ones at that. To top it all off, there's an app for your phone to control it via Wi-Fi, and if you launch your bike into the sea (or deep swimming pool) by accident and the unit is in its water-proof case, it'll be fine to a depth of 30-metres, though you may not be… That's a hell of a lot to cram into a tiny 54x40x24mm unit size, and it weighs sod all, well under 60-grams out of its case, too.
With the initial kit, for £119.99 you'll receive the camera in a neat little carry case, along with the WP case and a 'cage' for non-WP and less dangerous larks. Plus, you'll get a handful of different mounts and a USB connector. Battery life is claimed to be around 90 minutes. But if that's not enough, don't worry – in the Olfi accessories store there's spare batteries for £14.99, and even a 'battery bundle' which includes two spare batteries AND a charging unit for £29.99. Accessories are nicely priced in line with the main unit, with a smorgasbord of things including suction mounts (£19.99), remote controls (£29.99), chest harness (£14.99) and so on and so forth.
