Q: CSS Menu working in Chrome, not in Firefox I'm trying to rebuild a menu in CSS, first time, so excuse any newbie errors.
Test page is located here: http://michaelrichlaw.com/legal.html
The main challenge is that while I can get it to line up in Chrome or Firefox by editing the padding in ul.menu, I can't get it to line up in both.
The secondary challenge is adding a white divider line in betweeen the the menu items.  I've only had luck adding a border to the right of all of them (of which I don't need a line to the right of the last menu item.

CSS

A: First anwser is I think so:
Reset your options, because all browsers start from other point:
The best way is to use reset css file:
http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
*{
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
}

I think your second ask is about something like that.
Add divider and remove it from last element:
ul.menu li{
   border-right: 1px solid white;
}
ul.menu li:last-child{
   border-right: none;
}

or other way:
ul.menu li{
   border-left: 1px solid white;
}
ul.menu li:first-child{
   border-right: none;
}

or use background, but the concept is the same
ul.menu li{
   background-image: url("yourImage.jpg");
   background-position: left center;
}
ul.menu li:first-child{
   background-image: none;
}

EDIT: working example for you
EXAMPLE

A: You might need to consider using a CSS reseter if you're not doing that already.
The goal of a reset stylesheet is to reduce browser inconsistencies in things like default line heights, margins and font sizes of headings, and so on.
Have a look here: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/

A: @Szymon's answer is one way to do the dividers.  Another way I've seen is:
.divider {
    height:100%;
    width: 1px;
    background-color: #fff;
}

and then your HTML is just:

...

...

...

...


And where I'll start is by being honest. The last 2 weeks have been very hard for me, because there are a number of things I want to change. But I overwhelm myself so much that I become immobile; and nothing happens. I also like to think that I don't have an addictive personality, but for some reason I can be very hard-headed. So when I stop changing with the seasons or evolving my goals or catering to my personal relationships, or simply procrastinating on things till they fester, the real anger surfaces. The truth is, these behaviors are symptoms of a problem, not *the* problem.
What has been wrong for me? I haven't been doing things I really want to do. My heart hasn't been in it. My authenticity has suffered. And my anger is growing. There are things that I know. And there are things that I tell myself. To be happy, these two stories need to be the same.
So the blogging isn't only about telling a story or two, but me needing to express more, period. The changes I need to make most have everything to do with sharing who I truly am. I've been hiding out. I have no set agenda, but I'm not letting myself down this time. I'm way too excited.

Towards 200,000 strong. SSAA - your voice in shooting
As a former member of the SSAA, we need your help! The 2019 federal election has come and gone and, as usual, the shooting sports and hunting came under attack. During the six months leading up to polling day those against our sport made a concerted effort to tarnish law-abiding shooters and convince political parties to turn against us.
Did you know that Gun Control Australia President Samantha Lee was a guest speaker at the Federal Labor Conference just months before the election? Ms Lee made outrageous comments about law-abiding shooters and firearms, including that firearm owners are more likely to be abusing their wives; that the Port Arthur massacre murderer was of sound mind and that he had no previous history with police. She also inferred that he had a firearms licence. She went on to say that a firearms licence, even for a handgun, is very easy to obtain. These falsehoods and disgraceful comments were deliberately designed to turn Labor members and politicians against the shooting fraternity.
The Greens, as expected, further demonised us by criticising basic club funding and played their part in calling for firearm associations such as the SSAA to be banned from having any influence with politicians and the federal parliament.
Left-wing activist group GetUp! assisted to fund, along with Gun Control Australia, a series of anti-firearm propaganda papers that had ludicrous comments including that firearm owners changed their firearms to suit their outfit worn that day and how they often hid firearms in every room of their homes in preparation for a home invasion or the 'end of days'.
The truth is Gun Control Australia, The Greens, GetUp! and the extreme left-wing of the Labor party have joined to form a coalition against the firearm owners of Australia.
And there is more…
A former ABC television producer, funded by an overseas media broadcaster, tried to create its own 'fake news' by linking firearms ownership with racism and intolerance.
Anti-gunners even used the Christchurch terrorist attack as a playing card to call for further firearm bans and red tape in Australia and again suggested that shooters are bigots.
Your SSAA and firearm owners are a snapshot of the Australian community. Shooting and hunting do not judge and its members come in all shapes and sizes, religions, colour and genders; it is quite possibly the most inclusive activity in Australia.
With a new parliament we will be fighting to preserve the freedoms of all law-abiding shooters and ensure any new legislation does not adversely impact licence holders. The only thing that will get any group's voice heard is the strength of their numbers. We are so close to being 200,000 members strong. Our members have partners and children, siblings and parents; together we can be a formidable force.
But we need you to help tip the scales in our favour. As a former member of the SSAA, even if you are not actively shooting these days, we need your support to protect shooting and hunting in Australia today and for future generations.
Re-Join today and we will give you a voice that will be heard by all politicians and the media. For the sake of our recreation, don't be silenced. Simply phone our friendly membership staff on 02 8805 3900 or join online today.
We will be your voice. That is our promise to you.

Personal loans often have better rates than credit cards and are typically used to consolidate debt (or credit card debt), fund home improvement projects, make large purchases, and cover the cost for things like weddings, vacations, and unexpected expenses (i.e., car repairs, medical bills). Luckily, in most cases, funds are usually delivered in about a week or less.
With unsecured personal loans, you don't have to put up any collateral (like your house or your car). This basically leaves lenders with no guarantee for the loan other than your own reputation. As a result, it can be difficult to obtain a personal loan, especially one with a competitive interest rate. Often, the teaser rates are only offered to those with excellent credit scores. That's why it's important to see rates personalized to you when comparing offers.

Q: How can I getElementsByClassName from HTML and push them into a JavaScript Array? How can I then alert this array? I am trying to gather these HTML objects through getElementsByClassName, and push them into a JavaScript array and then I want to create a JavaScript alert to display these names. I've been trying this for hours. Am I doing something wrong?

var names = []
var elm = document.getElementsByClassName('name');
names.push(elm);
var arr = names.join();
alert(arr)

  List of People:

    Clara

    James

    Sara

A: getElementsByClassName does not give you the text inside the elements, but the elements themselves.
Also you won't get them as a proper JavaScript array, but a collection of HTMLElements.
Here's what you can do:
var names = []
var elements = document.getElementsByClassName('name');
for(var i=0; i<elements.length; i++) names.push(elements[i].textContent)
var nameList = names.join()
alert(nameList)

Alternatively you may use Array.from and map:
Array.from(elements).map((elem) => elem.textContent)

Note that I'm using elements[i].textContent to get the text inside each element.

A: Simply Try with querySelectorAll() .Then apply Nodelist#forEach() to iterate the node list .Finally push into array with element or element attribute which you want

var names = []
var elm = document.querySelectorAll('.name').forEach(function(a){
names.push(a.innerHTML);
});

var arr = names.join();
console.log(arr);
alert(arr)

  List of People:

    Clara

    James

    Sara

A: When we call elements by class name it returns array so you have run loop...

       List of People:

   Clara

  James

  Sara

 var names = []
 var elm = document.getElementsByClassName('name');
 for(var i = 0; i < elm.length; i++) {
    names.push(elm[i].innerHTML);
   }
 names.join();
 alert(names);

Man whose brothers were involved in Warren deaths pleads guilty to gun charge
Tre Vaughn L. Walker, 23, of Stewart Drive Northwest, younger brother of two men in the center of chaotic events in October 2013, pleaded no contest Thursday to two gun charges.
Walker could be sentenced to up to three years in prison after the Trumbull County Adult Probation Department conducts a presentence investigation.
Warren police said they found a loaded handgun under a book bag in the back seat of a car in which Walker was a passenger, after police observed his driver fail to stop at a stop sign in June at Colonial Street and Niles Road Southeast.
Police submitted the gun for DNA analysis and determined that Walker's DNA was on it, Chuck Morrow, assistant county prosecutor, told Judge Peter Kontos, who found Walker guilty.
Walker served a 10-day jail sentence in March after being convicted in Warren Municipal Court of failure to comply with the orders of a police officer. The October incident involved a car and foot chase with Warren police on Warren's West Side.
Walker is the brother of Taemarr Walker, 24, who died in October 2013 in a confrontation with a Warren police officer on Risher Road Southwest.
Taemarr Walker refused to obey commands from the officer and was holding a handgun at the time he was shot to death.
Another brother, Tashawn Walker, 28, of Texas, pleaded guilty last July to involuntary manslaughter, carrying a concealed weapon and improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle in the shooting death of Richard Rollison IV, 24, of Niles, at the Sunoco gas station on West Market Street one week after Taemarr Walker's death.
Tashawn Walker was sentenced to 17 years in prison. Judge Kontos later denied his request to withdraw the guilty plea in that case.

There are a lot of self-hosted file and data backup solutions out there, most of which are clunky to set up and configure correctly. Many simply tar your whole directory and let you download a huge archive. Others will store snapshots "in the cloud".
I like minimal, self-contained solutions. One excellent tool is, of course, rsync, which offers incremental file transfers, which is pretty neat, and saves space by only saving changed files from last checkpoint. This type of backup is usually referred to as incremental backsup. For your media collection or user file uploads this is great. But space can be saved even more if most of the changes are inside the files. This is where differential backup comes in. rsync doesn't do differential backups. Moreover, there seems to be no straightforward access to history, diffs, etc.
Today I had the "pleasure" to manually merge two versions of the same application that was maintained in two different instances by three different programmers without any version control whatsoever.
The versions were quite different, with directory names changed (for now apparent reason) and all sorts of other funky stuff. Manual merging seemed like the only way to go and I chose git branches as my merging headquarters.

Journalist Shares Hard Evidence As To Why Trump Ignites Violence Against Reporters
Donald Trump claims to be this calm guy that is completely against violence and he believes he's a saint. But, Jared Yates, a journalist who has written for The New York Times and The New Republic, gave his reason as to why that's not true.
Trump has a history of spreading violence. Since beginning his campaign race, Trump has urged his supporters to fight anyone who isn't on the Trump train.
When Trump took office that rhetoric became worse. Trump kept igniting his supporters by calling the media "fake" while bullying those who report it.
On Monday, Yates took to Twitter to rant about the rising threat under Trump to journalists.
I'd like to give a little insight into what it's like being a journalist in 2017 and why Trump's rhetoric is incredibly dangerous 1/
— Jared Yates Sexton (@JYSexton) July 3, 2017
Yesterday I broke the news that the guy who made Trump's CNN gif also created an antisemitic meme and was obviously racist. 2/
In the wake of that, I received numerous threats. I was told people wanted to shoot, strangle me, hang me, throw me out of a helicopter 3/
Some assumed I was Jewish because I spoke out against antisemitism, others said I was a race-traitor. Got it on both sides. 4/
Now articles are showing up on Neo-Nazi websites, there are videos spliced with Goebbels telling me not to test his patience 5/
That one also has footage from Natural Born Killers of a journalist being executed by shotgun. 6/
On forums, under my tweets, there's a list of excerpts from newspaper articles about journalists being slaughter, the details gory. 7/
Meanwhile, people are claiming I'm making up the threats and then immediately threatening me. In the same message. 8/
Over on Facebook I'm getting messages from strangers about "goyim" and talking about what happened to Jews in the 40's. 9/
This environment is the creation of the man in the White House. There are valid criticisms of the media, many on point, this isn't that 10/
When you start calling a group of people enemies of the country, this is what happens. When you call them scum, this happens. 11/
This is what happens when you have Alex Jones calling mainstream media pedophiles and Satan worshippers, and threatening to crush them. 12/
This environment we have right now is volatile. Some of these threats are empty, but people who are unwell consume this stuff. 13/
Even as I'm typing this I'm getting antisemitic memes and messages. It's happening in realtime. 14/
And everyone keeps bringing up the shooting in Virginia. In a way, they're right. That's what happens in this environment. 15/
This shouldn't be a country where these violent instincts are cultivated and encouraged. We're at a real tipping point right now. 16/
But make no mistake, there's something growing in this country, and it is very, very ugly. 17/17
On Sunday after Trump's CNN tweet, Jared wrote, "And for those who think there's nothing behind Trump's CNN gif today, I've been told twice in past hour I'll be killed in a new Civil War. Trump may be hurling idle threats, and he's not, but there are people, unhinged people, who are preparing for conflict."
Trump knows what he's doing, he knows he's inviting violence and doesn't seem to care much about it.

Traditional Japanese revival
The Ford-Peabody Mansion – located at 325 S. Old Woodward, Birmingham – is in the mist of a makeover and will soon house Adachi, a traditional and authentic Japanese restaurant. Adachi's owner Kenny Koza partnered with chef and restaurateur Michael Schlow to fine tune the concept after seeing a need for more traditional Japanese food options. "There's not going to be any type of twist on it as far as any type of fusion," said general manager Conrad Eichbauer. "In (chef) Lloyd's (Roberts) words, everything is going to be made from scratch – other than soy sauce." With plans to open for dinner service in August, Adachi will have a 10-seat bar, six-seat sushi bar, and 64 additional seats. While the menu is still evolving, there are a few things that are already set, including their plans to offer omakase, a meal that consists of dishes selected by the chef, and the name, which was inspired by the Adachi Museum of Art in Japan, a museum dedicated to Japanese horticulture.
Metro Intelligencer is a monthly column devoted to news stories, tidbits and gossip items about what's happening on the restaurant scene in the metro Detroit area. Metro Intelligencer is reported/created each month by Dana Casadei who can be reached at DanaCasadei@DowntownPublications.com with news items or tips, on or off the record.

Man Charged for Alleged Christmas Eve Sexual Assault in Greenwich
By: greenwichfreepress | March 14, 2016
Abdoul-aziz Mara Ndiaye, 25, of 214 Echo Place in the Bronx, was arrested and charged with Sexual Contact without Consent for an incident that allegedly took place on Christmas Eve 2015 in Greenwich.
On Dec. 26, the victim appeared at Greenwich Police headquarters to make a complaint of inappropriate touching by a suspect known to the victim in a professional manner, Mr. Ndiaye. On Dec. 28, Mr. Ndiaye was interviewed at the Greenwich Police station about the alleged incident.
After the interview, police determined probable cause existed. An arrest warrant was applied for and later granted by Stamford Superior Court.
On March 11, Greenwich Police responded to the local business where Mr. Ndiaye, known as "Mara," works.
He was placed under arrest and transported to the police station, advised of his rights and charged with Sexual Assault 4th degree. His bond was set at $1,000, which Mr. Ndiaye posted through a Stamford bail bondsman. He was released and has a court date set for March 18, 2016 in Stamford Superior Court. The victim was advised of Mr. Ndiaye's arrest.
4th Annual Tag Sale Planned at Dundee in Greenwich, April 2
Multiple Charges for Man Who Fraudulently Purchased iPhone from Apple Store


The substitute teacher who was arrested last month for inappropriate physical contact with a 14-year-old girl, has missed a court date. After Michael Costa did not appear in court last night in Parma, it was revealed he had been sent to jail October 5. It's not clear why.
Costa is charged with child endangerment for allegedly forcing himself on the girl in August.
After his arrest, he was suspended by the Rochester City School District.
Costa was hired as a substitute, even though he had a criminal record in South Carolina.

The durian is back, where can you get the king of fruits in Sabah?
It's durian season once again and this time, the harvest is more than plentiful!
For all you durian-lovers out there, this season is one of abundance and plenty. From East to West Malaysia, durian trees are sinking with the weight (not really, but you get the picture) of the king of fruits.
The unusually productive harvest has pleasantly surprised durian farmers and merchants alike. We have to say, though, that the ones who benefit the most are us — the eaters!
D1 – a great choice for those with a sweet tooth. Its pale yellow flesh is creamy and sweet, and its small seeds make it even better!
D24 – who doesn't know this variety? You're not a true-blue durian eater if you haven't tried this, also known as the Sultan. Its strong and bitter taste is unrivaled.
Wild Durian – Sukang, a Sabahan durian variety boasts red flesh, while Dalit is another wild durian found here in Sabah with orangey-red flesh.
For West Malaysians, durian buffets. Here in Sabah, durian tours!
On both sides of the sea, we celebrate the king of fruits in our own special way. In Karak (a town around 40 mins away from Kuala Lumpur), the overflowing harvest means a durian buffet for hungry Malaysians and Singaporeans.
Here in Sabah, on the other hand, tour operators have started organising 'durian tours' which have proved a big hit among tourists. According to a Daily Express news report, Chinese tourists are excited to eat Musang King and durian kampung. And as it is the fruiting season now, supply is great.
Where can you get durian in Kota Kinabalu and around?
Under the pedestrian bridge along Central Market in Kota Kinabalu. This is by far the locals' favourite durian haunt; ask any Sabahan where to get durian and they'll lead you straight here.
A durian truck in Foh Sang (near Walnut Bakery). The uncle here brings in durian from West Malaysia too, so you can find some nice varieties here.
Along the road! Yes, many times you'll find tasty and fresh durian kampung along the road once you head out of Kota Kinabalu. There are a number of these stalls along the way to Kundasang and Ranau.
Durian Food Truck – Until 31 August, this truck is offering Musang King, D24 and D13 durian at Hilton Kota Kinabalu. 5-10pm daily. Priced by weight.
This season also means new things fruiting in Kota Kinabalu, such as the Kota Kinabalu Marriott Hotel which has finally opened!

Introduction and objectives
To analyze survival in heart failure (HF) patients treated at a specialized unit.
Prospective cohort-based study of HF patients treated at a specialized unit from 2011 to 2017. Observed 1- and 3-year mortality rates were compared with those predicted by the Meta-Analysis Global Group in Chronic Heart Failure (MAGGIC) risk score.
We studied 1280 patients, whose median MAGGIC risk score was 19 [interquartile range, 13-24]. Prescription rates of beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and sacubitril-valsartan were 93%, 67%, 22%, 73%, and 16%, respectively. The MAGGIC risk score showed good discrimination for mortality at 1 year (c-statistic=0.71) and 3 years (c-statistic=0.76). Observed mortality was significantly lower than predicted mortality, both at 1 year (6.2% vs 10.9%; observed/predicted ratio=0.57; P<.001) and at 3 years (16.7% vs 27.7%; observed/predicted ratio=0.60; P<.001). This discrepancy was found in several subgroups, except in patients aged> 70 years (29.9% vs 34.7%; observed/predicted ratio=0.86; P=.126) and in patients with ejection fraction> 40% (19.6% vs 20.7%; observed/predicted ratio=0.95; P=.640).
Mortality in HF patients treated at a specialized clinic was significantly lower than that predicted by the MAGGIC risk score.

Introducción y objetivos
Analizar la supervivencia de los pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca (IC) tratados en una unidad especializada.
Estudio prospectivo de una cohorte de pacientes con IC tratados en una unidad especializada entre 2011 y 2017. Se comparó la mortalidad observada a 1 y 3 años con la mortalidad pronosticada por la puntuación de riesgo del Meta-Analysis Global Group in Chronic Heart Failure (MAGGIC).
Se estudió a 1.280 pacientes, con una mediana de la puntuación MAGGIC de 19 [intervalo intercuartílico, 13-24]. Las tasas de prescripción de bloqueadores beta, inhibidores de la enzima de conversión de la angiotensina, antagonistas del receptor de la angiotensina II, antagonistas del receptor de mineralcorticoides y sacubitrilo-valsartán fueron del 93, el 67, el 22, el 73 y el 16% respectivamente. La puntuación MAGGIC mostró una discriminación adecuada de la mortalidad a 1 año (estadístico c=0,71) y a 3 años (estadístico c=0,76). La mortalidad observada fue significativamente menor que la pronosticada, tanto a 1 año (el 6,2 frente al 10,9%; cociente observada/pronosticada=0,57; p<0,001) como a 3 años (el 16,7 frente al 27,7%; cociente observada/pronosticada=0,60; p<0,001). Esta discrepancia se observó en diversos subgrupos, excepto en los pacientes mayores de 70 años (el 29,9 frente al 34,7%; cociente observada/pronosticada=0,86; p=0,126) y en pacientes con fracción de eyección> 40% (el 19,6 frente al 20,7%; cociente observada/pronosticada=0,95; p=0,640).
Los pacientes con IC tratados en una unidad especializada presentaron una mortalidad inferior a la pronosticada por la puntuación MAGGIC.
Mortalidad
Research in recent decades has shown that various drugs and devices can reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure (HF) and that these treatments are particularly effective in patients with a reduced left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF <40%).1 Even patients with refractory HF can benefit from more advanced treatment options such as heart transplant and ventricular assist devices, which can improve both prognosis and quality of life.2
Despite the therapeutic advances that have been achieved, hospitalization and mortality rates remain high among HF patients in the "real world".3 Contributory factors include barriers to the close monitoring and optimal treatment required by these patients. Promotion of dedicated HF care programs and units can help overcome these barriers. Programs of this type have been found to significantly reduce hospital readmission rates and improve survival, albeit more modestly.4
The Spanish Society of Cardiology (SEC) has established a series of quality assurance requirements that must be met by HF units to receive certification within its excellence program for 3 types of units: community units, specialized units, and advanced units.5 The SEC-Excellence program uses different clinical indicators to monitor the quality of care delivery at certified units. Readmission and mortality rates are among the main indicators.
The aim of this study was to analyze mortality in a cohort of HF patients treated at a SEC-certified unit and compare rates with those calculated using a widely validated multivariable scoring system for predicting mortality in HF.6
MethodsStudy description
Observational cohort study of patients with HF referred to the HF unit at our hospital for the first time between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2017. Data were obtained from the SiMon clinical record management system, a purpose-built application designed by the hospital's computer department that includes a tabulated database containing prospectively collected data. Patients provided informed consent permitting us to use their clinical data for research purposes.
The study setting was the HF unit at the Cardiology Department of Complejo Hospitalario Universitario A Coruña in Galicia, Spain. This unit is the referral unit for HF patients in the health care district of A Coruña, which has approximately 550 000 inhabitants. It also receives patients with refractory HF from other hospitals in the autonomous community of Galicia (≈2 700 000 inhabitants) for assessment of suitability for advanced therapies (heart transplant and ventricular assist devices). The unit was awarded double SEC-Excellence certification—as a specialized and an advanced HF unit—in 2017. Our hospital was also awarded SEC certification for excellence in ventricular assist device implantation in 2018.
The core HF unit team is formed by 5 cardiologists and 2 nurses. It offers the full spectrum of services for HF patients, including health education, treatment optimization, outpatient telemonitoring, ward care for patients admitted for decompensation, assessment of suitability for advanced therapies, and clinical follow-up after heart transplant or ventricular assist device implantation. To cover this array of services, the HF unit forms part of a broad multidisciplinary team comprising other cardiology units (imaging, hemodynamics, electrophysiology, intermediate care, family heart disease, congenital heart disease) and the hospital's heart surgery and intensive medicine departments. It also works closely with other departments and units (internal medicine, emergency medicine, home hospitalization, physiotherapy, social work, and mental health) and primary care centers.
The main outcome variable was all-cause mortality, which is the main survival indicator used in the SEC-Excellence program.5 The secondary outcome variable was the cumulative incidence of hospitalization for HF. We also studied changes in LVEF and New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class from the start to the end of active clinical follow-up by the HF unit.
For the primary and secondary outcome variables, patients were followed up from baseline (first visit to the HF unit) to death or heart transplant, regardless of follow-up status. Data for patients who did not die or receive a heart transplant were censored on December 31, 2018. Survival data for patients discharged by the HF unit were obtained from the electronic medical record database held by the Galician Health System.
Predicted mortality at 1 and 3 years was calculated for all patients using the MAGGIC (Meta-Analysis Global Group in Chronic Heart Failure) risk score.6 This model predicts the probability of death using 13 clinical predictor variables derived from individual patient data for 39 372 patients from 30 studies, including 6 clinical trials. The patients represent a broad spectrum of HF patients, aiding the generalizability of the model.
The MAGGIC risk score has been externally validated in various populations of HF patients7–9 and has been found to have adequate calibration and discrimination and superior performance in this respect to other risk prediction models.10 The prognostic value of the MAGGIC risk score adds to that of natriuretic peptide levels.8,9
Quantitative variables are presented as mean±SD or median (interquartile range [IQR]) depending on the normality of distribution. Categorical variables are reported as proportions. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the cumulative probability of death and hospitalization due to HF throughout follow-up; it was also used to build the corresponding survival curves.
Predicted 1- and 3-year mortality was calculated using the MAGGIC risk score. The discrimination power of the model in our population was analyzed using the c-statistic.
The difference between observed and predicted mortality was expressed as the observed/predicted ratio (O/P). The chi-square test was used to measure the statistical significance of this difference for the whole cohort, the quartiles of predicted risk, and several clinically relevant subgroups, defined by year of inclusion, age, sex, healthcare district of origin, LVEF, previous hospitalization for HF, and the presence of coronary artery disease.
All the analyses were performed in SPPS 20. Statistical significance was set at P<.5.
ResultsStudy population
Between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2017, 1280 patients with HF were seen for the first time at our HF unit. Of these, 648 (53.4%) had been hospitalized for HF at least once; 890 (69.5%) belonged to the healthcare district covered by our hospital and 390 (30.5%) were from other areas of Galicia. The clinical characteristics of the population are summarized in table 1.
Clinical characteristics of patients included in the study
CRT, cardiac resynchronization therapy; HF, heart failure; NT-proBNP, N-terminal fragment of brain natriuretic peptide.*
Data reported as mean ± standard deviation or number (%) of patients.
The patients were treated and monitored by the HF unit for a median of 621±863 days (range, 190-1053 days). In total, 427 patients (33.4%) were still under active follow-up on December 31, 2018. Of the 853 patients no longer under follow-up (66.6%), 598 (46.7%) had been discharged by the unit, 170 (13.3%) had died, and 85 (6.6%) had been referred for advanced therapy with a heart transplant or ventricular assist device.
Prescription rates for the different classes of drugs at the first and last visits and during follow-up are shown in figure 1. Overall prescription rates for the cohort were 93% for beta-blockers, 67% for angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, 22% for angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), 73% for mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and 16% for sacubitril-valsartan. The respective rates for the 940 patients with an LVEF <40% were 98%, 71%, 22%, 84%, and 22%. The proportion of patients with an LVEF <40% on sacubitril-valsartan still being monitored by the unit on December 31, 2018 was 43.2% (n=338).
Prescription rates by drug class at baseline, during follow-up, and at the end of follow-up for patients seen at the heart failure unit. A: Whole cohort. B: Patients with LVEF <40%. ACE, angiotensin-converting enzyme; ARBs, angiotensin II receptor blockers; LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction; MRAs, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists.
(0.18MB).
The percentage of patients with an LVEF <40% on the target dose of beta-blockers increased from 18% at baseline to 29.6% at the last follow-up visit (P<.001). During the same period, there was also a significant increase in the proportion of patients with an LVEF <40% on the target dose of ACE inhibitors/ARBs/sacubitril-valsartan (11.3% vs 24.6%, P<.001). Finally, the proportion of patients with an LVEF <40% prescribed 50% or more of the target dose increased from 50.9% to 58.1% for beta-blockers (P<.001) and from 38.2% to 47.1% for ACE inhibitors/ARBs/sacubitril-valsartan (P<.001).
When seen for the first time at the HF unit, 161 patients (12.6%) had a defibrillator, 26 (2%) had a defibrillator-cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device, and 4 (0.3%) had a pacemaker-CRT device. During follow-up, an additional 117 defibrillators, 91 defibrillator-CRT devices, and 10 pacemaker-CRT devices were implanted.
At the last follow-up visit, 211 (26.3%) of the 800 patients with a baseline LVEF <35% had a defibrillator, 78 (9.8%) had a defibrillator-CRT device, and 10 (1.3%) had a pacemaker-CRT device.
In addition, 6 patients (0.5%) underwent percutaneous mitral valve repair, 6 (0.5%) were fitted with a permanent ventricular assist device, and 81 (6.3%) underwent heart transplant.
The distribution of NYHA class changed significantly from baseline to the last visit (P<.001), with an increase in patients in NYHA class I (31.1% vs 11.1) and a decrease in patients in NYHA class II (42.9% vs 54.1) and III (20.9% vs 30.7%) (figure 2A). An improvement of at least 1 NYHA class was observed in 484 patients (37.8%).
A: New York Heart Association functional class at first and last visit to heart failure unit. B: LVEF at first and last visit. LVEF, left ventricular ejection fraction.
There was also a significant improvement in LVEF from the first to the last visit (34.3%±13.9% vs 39.2±14.5%, P<.001). Of the 940 patients with an LVEF <40% at baseline, 239 (25.4%) had an LVEF ≥40% at the last visit. Just 25 patients (7.4%) experienced a reduction from an LVEF ≥40% to an LVEF <40% between the first and last visit. The distribution of LVEF values at baseline and the end of follow-up is shown in figure 2B.
The median survival follow-up time was 1238 days (IQR, 588-1888 days). During this period, 283 patients died (22.1%); 113 of these were no longer under follow-up at the unit, but they were nonetheless included in the survival analysis.
The estimated probability of survival according to the Kaplan-Meier method calculations was 99.7% for 30 days, 93.8% for 1 year, 83.3% for 3 years, and 74.5% for 5 years (figure 3A).
A: Cumulative probability of survival over long-term follow-up according to Kaplan-Meier method. B: Cumulative probability of hospitalization for HF over long-term follow-up according to Kaplan-Meier method. HF, heart failure.
Overall, 413 patients (32.3%) were hospitalized for HF during the survival follow-up period. The cumulative probability of hospitalization due to HF was 4.2% for 30 days, 16.0% for 1 year, 28.3% for 3 years, and 36.8% for 5 years (figure 3B).
The median MAGGIC risk score was 19 [range, 13-24]. The score categories for the quartiles of predicted risk were 0-13 for the first quartile, 14-18 for the second quartile, 19-23 for the third quartile, and ≥24 for the fourth quartile. The distribution of scores is shown in figure 1 of the supplementary data.
The discrimination of the MAGGIC risk score (c-statistic) was 0.71 (95%CI, 0.65-0.77; P<.001) for 1-year mortality and 0.76 (95%CI, 0.72-0.81; P<.001) for 3-year mortality. The receiver operating characteristic curves are shown in figure 2 and figure 3 of the supplementary data.
The comparative values for observed mortality and mortality predicted using the MAGGIC risk score for the full cohort and the 4 quartiles at 1 and 3 years are shown in figure 4A and figure 4B.
Comparison of observed mortality and mortality predicted using Meta-analysis Global Group in Chronic Heart Failure (MAGGIC) risk score for the whole cohort and quartiles of risk. A: 1-year mortality. B: 3-year mortality.
Observed mortality at 1 year was lower than predicted mortality in all cases, with an O/P of 0.57 for the whole cohort, 0.40 for the first quartile, 0.52 for the second quartile, 0.57 for the third quartile, and 0.69 for the fourth quartile. All the differences were statistically significant (P<.05).
Observed 3-year mortality was also significantly lower (P <.05) than predicted mortality for the whole cohort (O/P=0.60) and for the first (O/P=0.54), second (O/P=0.43), and third (O/P=0.43) quartiles. The difference for the fourth quartile was nonsignificant, with an O/P of 0.88 (P=.169).
The results comparing observed and predicted mortality at 1 and 3 years are shown by subgroup (year of inclusion, sex, age, health care district of origin, previous hospitalization for HF, presence of coronary artery disease, and LVEF) in table 2.

We have described outcomes for HF patients treated at a specialized, advanced care unit recently awarded SEC-Excellence certification. Our survival analysis of 1280 consecutive outpatients treated at the unit between 2011 and 2017 showed that actual (observed) mortality at 1 and 3 years was significantly lower than mortality predicted using the MAGGIC risk score. This underprediction was observed in different clinical subgroups, underlining the consistency of our findings.
An initial question regarding the design of our study concerns the suitability of using mortality predicted using the MAGGIC risk score as a comparator in a real-life treatment intervention. We believe that the choice of methodology, used previously,11 is justified by the difficulty of recruiting a control group of patients treated outside the HF unit. In addition, a randomized controlled trial design would raise serious ethical concerns, as it has already been shown that HF units reduce both morbidity and mortality.4 In addition, this evidence has already been incorporated into society guidelines.1,5 An observational study, in turn, would be clearly prone to selection bias, probably resulting in highly variable clinical profiles that would be difficult to correct for statistically.
Several studies have demonstrated the validity of the MAGGIC risk score for predicting mortality in outpatients with HF. Sartipy et al.,7 on analyzing its performance in 51 043 patients from a Swedish HF registry, observed good discrimination for 3-year mortality (c-statistic=0.741), albeit with slight underprediction (approximately −8%). Canepa et al.,10 in turn, studied the performance the MAGGIC risk score in 6161 HF patients seen between 2011 and 2013 from a European registry including data from several Spanish hospitals. They found good discrimination for 1-year mortality (c-statistic=0.743), with slight overprediction (+3%). More recently, the score was validated in Asian patients after hospitalization for HF.8,9
In our population, the MAGGIC risk score had good discrimination for both 1-year mortality (c-statistic=0.71) and 3-year mortality (c-statistic=0.76), and higher scores were directly proportional to increases in observed mortality. The model, however, had poor calibration due to systematic, statistically significant overprediction for 1-year (+75%) and 3-year (+66%) mortality for the group as a whole. The overprediction was observed in all the risk quartiles, except for 3-year mortality in the fourth quartile.
The magnitude of the difference between predicted and observed mortality in our population is remarkable. We cannot fully exclude the possibility that the discrepancy was due, at least in part, to the patients' clinical characteristics. Some selection bias in patient referral to our unit appears to have occurred, as priority seems to have been given to middle-aged patients with predominantly systolic dysfunction without excessive comorbidity. Notwithstanding, we believe that this bias will have had a limited impact on results, as the main clinical variables that would have been affected are part of the MAGGIC model.6
The most likely explanation for the discrepancy between observed and predicted mortality are differences in how the patients in our cohort (seen at a contemporary HF unit) were treated and monitored compared with those whose data were used to create and externally validate the MAGGIC risk score.
In our series, a high proportion of patients were taking disease-modifying drugs, such as ACE inhibitors or ARBs, beta-blockers, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. There was also a significant increase in the prescription of sacubitril-valsartan in the later years of the study. Adherence to prescribing recommendations in clinical guidelines has been shown to have a positive impact on prognosis,12 and improving this adherence, alongside treatment adherence among patients, is a key goal of HF units. These units are also an ideal setting for implementing nonpharmacological interventions with clinical benefits for HF patients, such as educational interventions in the areas of healthy living, self-care and identification of warning signs, correction of adverse psychosocial factors, early detection and treatment of nutritional deficiencies,13 and physical exercise.14 Nursing staff, working closely with colleagues from other departments and units (eg, mental health, nutrition, and physiotherapy) play a key role in these interventions.
Another goal of HF units with potential prognostic implications is to guarantee access to prophylactic treatment with CRT and/or defibrillation devices in suitable candidates.1 In our series, almost 40% of HF patients with a baseline LVEF <35% had a heart device during follow-up; similar rates have been observed in other registries of HF patients treated by cardiologists.15
Finally, HF units play an important role in identifying candidates for advanced therapies such as heart transplant and ventricular assist device implantation.16 Although quantitatively speaking these treatments have only a marginal impact on population health (as reflected by the low proportion of patients in our series who underwent these procedures [<7%]), they can have a dramatic impact on individual morbidity and mortality.
Actual mortality was lower than predicted mortality in all the subgroups of patients in our series, except in patients older than 70 years and patients with an LVEF >40%. Although patients with HF are frequently prescribed similar pharmacological treatments, regardless of their LVEF, no clear survival benefits have yet been demonstrated for patients with an LVEF >40%,17 and evidence is also lacking on the value of device implantation in this setting. Treatment optimization presents greater challenges in elderly patients, as they are more likely to have multiple comorbidities, preserved LEVF, and greater frailty and are also more prone to adverse drug-related effects.18 In addition, significant long-term survival benefits are less likely in this population because of chronobiological rhythms. It is therefore important to establish individualized treatment goals in elderly patients, prioritizing, in most cases, improved quality of life, adequate management of comorbid conditions, and reduced readmission rates.19
This study had several limitations. First, because it is an observational study conducted using information collected from a database, there is a risk of information bias. Second, it is a single-center study conducted in a highly specific care setting and our findings should therefore be generalized with caution.
As already discussed in detail, there are also limitations attached to the methodology used to compare observed and predicted mortality. Although the discrepancies between observed and predicted mortality in our series appear to be mostly attributable to differences in clinical treatment, we cannot be certain that our results were not influenced by differences in clinical variables that were not analyzed and that therefore could not be controlled for.
Mortality at 1 and 3 years in a prospective cohort of patients treated and monitored at an HF unit within a cardiology department between 2011 and 2017 was significantly lower than that predicted using the MAGGIC risk score. This was true for the overall cohort and for all the clinically relevant subgroups analyzed except patients with an LVEF >40% and patients older than 70 years.
Our findings call into question the clinical usefulness of the MAGGIC risk score in contemporary care settings. Despite the methodological limitations already highlighted, they also point to the potential prognostic benefits of treating HF patients in specialized units.
The research group responsible for this study receives funding from the CIBERCV Consortium, which forms part of the Instituto de Salud Carlos III.
None declared.
WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT THE TOPIC?
The Spanish Society of Cardiology (SEC) promotes the creation of dedicated units for the treatment of HF.
The MAGGIC risk score is a model comprising 13 clinical variables that has been validated for predicting the risk of death in outpatients with HF.
WHAT DOES THIS STUDY ADD?
The findings of this study show that patients in a specialized HF unit who receive optimal treatment based on current guidelines have significantly lower mortality than that predicted using the MAGGIC risk score.
Our findings support the role of specialized units in the clinical care of patients with HF.

About Speedy Ortiz
Updating the brash artiness of '90s indie rock for the 21st century, Speedy Ortiz began as the solo project of singer/songwriter/guitarist Sadie Dupuis. As the project became a full-fledged band and its sound grew more polished, Dupuis and company remained committed to the knotty guitars and vulnerable yet literate lyrics that defined Speedy Ortiz's music.
Dupuis started making music as Speedy Ortiz in 2011, recording songs on her laptop while also working on her M.F.A. and teaching songwriting at a summer camp in Northampton, Massachusetts. Taking the name Speedy Ortiz from a character in the comic book Love & Rockets, Dupuis released the lo-fi Cop Kicker EP and album The Death of Speedy Ortiz in this incarnation of the project.
At the end of 2011, Speedy Ortiz grew into a four-piece featuring Dupuis, bassist Darl Ferm, drummer Mike Falcone, and guitarist Matt Robidoux. The band's members worked day jobs (as a college writing instructor, a guitar teacher, a librarian, and a burger-stand employee, respectively) while playing shows in and around N.Y.C.'s five boroughs. Early in 2012, they recorded the self-released single Taylor Swift/Swim Fan with veteran producer, mixer, and engineer Paul Q. Kolderie; that June, the band made its debut on Exploding in Sound Records with the Sports EP.
A single for Inflated Records, "Ka-Prow!/Hexxy," appeared the following April, a few months before the release of Speedy Ortiz's debut album, Major Arcana. Recorded in four days with engineer Justin Pizzoferrato, the album earned acclaim upon its July 2013 arrival. For the February 2014 EP Real Hair, which the band recorded in between tours, Speedy Ortiz reunited with Kolderie and Pizzoferrato on a set of songs inspired by pop and R&B. The band also issued the track "Bigger Party" as part of Adult Swim's Singles Program, as well as the single "Doomsday," the digital proceeds from which benefited the Ariel Panero Memorial Fund at VH1 Save the Music. Also in 2014, former Grass Is Green guitarist Devin McKnight replaced Robidoux.
For their tighter second album, 2015's Foil Deer, Speedy Ortiz wrote the songs during a retreat in the Connecticut woods and recorded them with producer Nicolas Vernhes at Brooklyn's Rare Book Room studio. The following year saw the release of the remix EP Foiled Again, which included Foil Deer outtakes as well as reworkings of the album's songs by Lizzo, Open Mike Eagle, and Lazerbeak. The debut album from Dupuis' subversive pop solo project Sad13, Slugger, also arrived in 2016.
Speedy Ortiz returned in 2017 with "In My Way," which appeared on the politically minded benefit compilation Our First 100 Days, and "Screen Gem," which was McKnight's final work with the band and a benefit single for the criminal justice reform nonprofit CLOSErikers. After discarding an album's worth of songs in the wake of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Speedy Ortiz recorded their third album with guitarist Andy Moholt at Brooklyn's Silent Barn. Mixed by Mike Mogis, 2018's Twerp Verse featured some of the band's poppiest, and most overtly political, music. ~ Heather Phares

2. In Alberta, ask Jhonnita (102, 80) about the Diamond. He's upset over how he lost it to Ibrahim, and explains how all of the jewelers are trying to obtain the Four Cursed Jewels.
3. In Payon, talk to Kimeunbang (69, 65), who says Belder stole the Diamond from him. He gives you 1 Pearl.
4. In Geffen, talk to Leblo (128, 153), who's heard of you asking about the Diamond. Before he'll tell you anything, he needs you to make some back medicine from Wola in Payon.
6. Bring the items to her, and she fixes the pot, and gives you the medicine to take to Leblo.
7. Back in Geffen, give Leblo his medicine, who says a young couple tried to sell the Diamond to him. He thinks they may have been members of the Z-Gang. He suggests you talk to a Rogue Guild Investigator about it.
8. Head to the Rogue guild at Paros Lighthouse, and on the first floor, talk to the Rogue Investigator (366, 46). Ask him about the Z-Gang, but he won't tell you the location of their hideout (apparently they're back and have moved) until you pay him 10,000 Zeny. He says they're in a large warehouse in Comodo.
9. In Comodo, go to the Kafra Headquarters (129, 192), and go downstairs. Talk to the investigator there, who says the Z-Gang is gone, but that you can look around.
10. Walk to the southwest, and investigate the Small Safe (69, 188). Apparently a key or switch must be triggered in order to open it.
11. To the north, there's an Odd Switch (69, 196), so press it. Another Switch is then revealed. Flip that switch as well (80, 189) to unlock the safe.
12. Open the safe, and you find the Diamond of Ruin!
13. Bring the Diamond back to Ibrahim at the Morroc Ruins, who rewards you with 1 Old Blue Box and 2 3carat Diamonds.

Data Protection, Freedom of information and Ethical Review Committees: Policies, Practicalities and Dilemmas
AJ Charlesworth
University of Bristol Law School
Centre for IT & Law
Socio-Legal Research
Effective interpretation of, and compliance with, data protection and freedom of information law across the range of administrative and educational activities undertaken in a UK higher educational institution are tasks which, over a decade after the passage of the legislation, remain fertile ground for disagreement, misunderstanding and poorly conceived institutional policymaking. For social science researchers, the issue is further complicated by the need to simultaneously interpret and implement research ethics guidelines promulgated by diverse external bodies: the Research Councils, subject-specific research associations and other cross-disciplinary special interest groups. The cascade of new ICTs available to the social science researcher Q3completes a triangle of policy variables and uncertainties for both researchers and institutional research scrutiny bodies. The aim of this article is threefold: first, to examine some of the issues raised by the application of data protection and freedom of information law to research in the social sciences, with a particular eye to the impact of ICTs; second, to discuss how the interplay between legal rules, ethical guidelines, and institutional regulation is developing; and finally, to suggest some potential ways forward.

Will Murphy interviews David Ignatius, opinion writer at The Washington Post.
In the days after the [U. S. Embassy in Beirut] bombing, the Arabs in their grief needed to turn to somebody. And I was the only person alive in Beirut who really knew the story. So they began to pour their hearts out.
David Ignatius writes a foreign affairs column for The Washington Post and contributes to the Post Partisan blog.
He joined the Post in 1986 as editor of its Sunday Outlook section. In 1990 he became foreign editor, and in 1993, assistant managing editor for business news.
He has reported for The Wall Street Journal, covering the steel industry, the Justice Department, the CIA, the Senate, the Middle East, and the State Department.
Ignatius has also written eight spy novels, including Body of Lies, which was made into a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe.

Q: Enigmail Thunderbird pinentry requests all passwords to all secret keys I want to read a GPG encrypted email using Thunderbird Enigmail from Account.1@mail.com and Edit > Account Settings > Account.1 > OpenPGP Security has "Use specific OpenPGP key ID" selected.
However, when I select the message in order to read, Thunderbird or Enigmail (??) is asking gpg to launch pinentry for every key on my keychain that I own (Account.1@mail.com, Account.2@mail.com, etc.). This is true even if correct password already in 5-minute cache. Clicking "Cancel" a dozen times is annoying.
Can I configure so that pinentry only asks me for password for immediate use (decrypt as Account.1@mail.com) rather than all secret and public keys on keychain that I own?


I was so tired of crunches. I was counting sit ups in my sleep. Over and over again, I increased my reps but I was still suffering from a little roll right at my belly that would not go away no matter what I did. I had decided early in the spring that this summer, for the first time in my life, I would buy a bikini instead of a boring old one piece like I had worn my entire life.
Every time I looked in the mirror though all I could see was that little extra right there at my waistline. I went online to search for solutions and stumbled across some abs toning belt reviews. As I read up on this product, I decided that it really sounded like something that could work for me. It seemed easy to use, and it seemed like it got results.
I bought one, and began wearing it under my clothes everyday while I went about my daily routines. It started to work really quickly, and before I knew it there was no little roll to be seen. I was thrilled with the results, and headed to the mall. Yep- I was ready to buy that bikini! You too could try it out if you are in the same situation as I was in.

Haringey Youth Council (HYC)
What is Haringey Youth Council?
We, Haringey Youth Council, represent the united voice of all young people who live, work or study in the London Borough of Haringey and represent them on their behalf on both a local and national level. Our members are aged between 11-19 years and we are committed to raising awareness of issues that affect young people's lives.
We support organisations and services that want to make a difference to young people, to continuously improve to ensure that the highest quality services are provided for them.
We work in partnership with others to create opportunities and develop young people into Young Leaders, who will serve as role models to their peers and have an impact on their community.
We work in partnership with Haringey Council and pledge to conduct ourselves in accordance with Council policies and are dedicated to promoting unity, equality and cohesion across the borough, placing Haringey amongst the best areas to grow up in.
Aged between 11 and 19
Living, studying or working in Haringey
Seeing problems in or with your local community
Confident enough to do something about it
Then Haringey Youth Council could be the place for you!
We host our Big Meetings every 3 months for the community, where young people from all over Haringey can attend, enjoy some pizza and share their views on their experiences living in Haringey as well as take part in activities. We have a Cabinet team meeting happening every 2 weeks. The Cabinet team are the young people that lead the Youth Council and represent the 70,000 young people in Haringey by taking action on campaigns, consultations, and projects that they create throughout the year. To be able to join the Cabinet team, you have to either be elected by your school or during a Big Meeting.
