I'm always interested in seeing what other Home Theater fans are running equipment wise and what they've spent SO FAR on there gear so I figured I'd see who we have here that spends more than any human should on Movie gear.
I don't have an overly expensive setup right now but I'm always upgrading.
Adds up fast, doesn't it.

Don't remember exact prices...but these are pretty good estimates.
HD-DVR: SA8300HD (Time Warner Cable) Free!
Grand total: $27,950. That's how I roll.
Future upgrades: condo to put the system in! Within 5 years I plan to put together a truly amazing 2-ch rig. Right now that plan includes Wilson Sophia II speakers, EMM Labs Meitner DCC2 DAC/preamp, Meitner CDSD, and a Krell FPB 700cx.
Although I am always looking to upgrade, I'm actually really happy with the system right now. I live in a small apartment (I'm only 25 and still in law school), so it does the trick. My room is a limiting factor though and I hope to buy a place soon with a proper room for HT / 2-ch.

Speaker wire is culled from broken lamp cords.
Lamp cord is just as good as Kimber for speaker wire! It's true, I read it at AVS!!
Sweet. I was thinking of getting a pay-day loan to upgrade to a system like yours.
I just upgraded my setup after I built a fresh one 4 years ago. I hunted for deals on the TV and receiver, I had the other stuff already. Prices are estimates on everything but the TV and receiver since the other stuff was bought 4 years ago.

Speakers are not large because I live in an apt, don't want to cause alot of noise. Same reason why I have no sub.
About 8 game consoles, I lose track.
Something like $12K MSRP, paid under $10k total, I believe.

Stacked up, it looks like you got the same theater chairs as I got. Did you change the fabric?
ECP 4500+ CRT HD projector: $700 (would be $600 if the $50 remote wasn't broken and had I not wasted $50 on a custom crate that FedEx stripped).
Simply better than LCD/DLP. The cinema can't even touch the black levels from it. CRT projector = Best Bang For Your Buck. This one often gives me a better experience than the theater. I even find myself complaining about the picture at my local cinema, especially due to the weak black level compared to the CRT pj. This is my serious viewing projector.
InFocus 4805 (built in Faroudja chip) 16:9 DLP EDTV projector: $500 after rebate (black Friday sale). This is my ambient light, occasional tv watching and gaming projector.
55" Toshiba 55x81 CRT HDTV (rarely use this one anymore. The convergence board is messed up).
$50 Regent HT-391 130-watt Wal-Mart 6 speaker surround sound sytem I bought as a joke originally and ended up really liking it.
Athlon XP 3000+ HTPC w/ZoomPlayer Pro and FFDShow with one DVD Burner (set to Region 2 for playing R2 discs) and one DVD-Rom (set to region 1 for US discs). 512mb DDR PC3200 memory, ATI Radeon 9250 Graphics card: About $450.
X-Box, PS2 (until it was robbed from my cousin's house when he was borrowing it), GameCube, Dreamcast & Nintendo 64: Have no clue what I paid for all of these.
The projector was slightly tilted on this shot.
The shots were taken in ambient light to not only show of the screen's ambient light performance, but also because my camcorder doesn't do so well in the dark.
The CRT projector is EASILY the superior projector and can more than hold it's own against $20,000+ digital projectors in image quality (none can touch its black levels though), but it's hard to get a good screenshot from since CRTs are best with no lights at all.
My next upgrade will probably be either an 8" EM Focus HD CRT projector or a 9" LC CRT projector.
JVC HD-56G786 HD-ILA Rear Projection TV $2500 My new toy for the family.
Infinity BU1 - 50 Watt 8" Powered Sub $????

And should be. It's one of the most important.
Agree....and the remote was one of my only "spure of the moment" buys. I was very careful and shopped for the best deal on everything. But I has messed around with a couple of crappy remotes and decided to screw it and just popped for the 880. Other then missed a $50 rebate by 2 weeks, I'm very happy I did it.

How does your Yahaha drive your Maggies? I love Maggies (tho haven't listened to them in a while), but I always thought they needed a LOT of good power to get the best out of the.
I hear the full Maggie chorus on a daily basis (music and movies) and I'm very happy with the "air" and soundstaging. I have not had any clips, shutdowns or higher than normal heating.

The term arthritis literally means inflammation of a joint, but is generally used to describe any condition in which there is damage to the cartilage. Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury. The warning signs of inflammation are redness, swelling, heat, and pain.
The cartilage is similar to padding that absorbs shock. The amount of cartilage damage and synovial inflammation varies with the type and stage of arthritis. Initially, the pain is usually due to inflammation. In the later stages, when the cartilage is worn away, most of the pain comes from the mechanical friction of bones rubbing on each other.
There are over 100 different types of arthritis. The most common are:
Osteoarthritis is sometimes called degenerative joint disease. This is the most common type of arthritis, and it occurs most frequently in older people. This disease affects articular cartilage, the tissue that cushions and protects the ends of the bones in a joint. With osteoarthritis, the cartilage wears away over time. In extreme cases, the cartilage may completely wear away, causing bone-on-bone contact. In osteoarthritis, bones may also form bone spurs or osteophytes.
Osteoarthritis may cause joint pain and can limit a person's normal range of motion. In severe osteoarthritis, a joint may lose the ability to move.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks healthy joints and tissues. Occurring most often in women of childbearing age, this disease inflames the lining or synovium of joints. Rheumatoid arthritis affects primarily the joints of the hands and feet, and tends to be symmetrical. It can cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of function in joints.
This chronic disorder causes pain throughout the tissues that support and move the bones and joints. Pain, stiffness, and localized tender points occur in the muscles and tendons, particularly those of the neck, spine, shoulders, and hips. Fatigue and sleep disturbances may also occur.
Higher than normal levels of uric acid in the blood may occur in a person with gout. The body makes uric acid from many of the foods we eat. Too much uric acid causes deposits, called uric acid crystals, to form in the fluid and lining of the joints. The result may be a sudden, painful episode, often affecting the joint at the base of the big toe. Men are more likely to experience gout, but women become increasingly susceptible to gout after menopause. Gout is treatable, to reduce the risk of recurrence.
Arthritis can be caused by an infection, either viral or bacterial, such as Lyme disease. When this disease is caused by bacteria, early treatment with antibiotics can ease symptoms.
Reactive arthritis may develop after a person has an infection in the urinary tract, bowel, or other organs. Joint pain and swelling may occur in the knees, and the joints of the ankles and feet. Inflammation may affect the eyes, skin, and urethra. Reactive arthritis is not common, and symptoms usually disappear within a year.
Some people who have psoriasis, a common skin problem that causes scaling and rashes, also have arthritis. This disease often affects the joints at the ends of the fingers, and can cause changes in the fingernails and toenails. Sometimes psoriatic arthritis can also affect the spine.
Also called lupus or SLE, this is an autoimmune disease. When a person has an autoimmune disease, the immune system attacks itself, damaging healthy cells and tissue. Lupus can inflame and damage a person's joints, skin, kidneys, lungs, blood vessels, heart, or other organs.
Ankylosing spondylitis most often affects the spine, causing pain and stiffness. It can also cause arthritis in the hips, shoulders, and knees. It affects men more commonly, and in their late teenage and early adult years.
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is the most common type of arthritis in children. This disease may cause pain, stiffness, swelling, and loss of function in the joints. A young person can also have rashes and fever with this disease.
Polymyalgia rheumatica involves tendons, muscles, ligaments, and tissues around the joints. Symptoms often include pain, aching, and morning stiffness in the shoulders, hips, neck, and lower back. It is sometimes the first sign of giant cell arteritis, a disease of the arteries characterized by inflammation, weakness, weight loss, and fever.
Polymyositis is an uncommon inflammatory disease that causes muscle weakness, affecting both sides of the body.
This condition involves inflammation of bursae, which are small, fluid-filled sacs that help reduce friction between bones and other moving structures in the joints. The inflammation may result from arthritis in the joint, an injury, or an infection of the bursae. Bursitis produces pain and tenderness, and may limit the movement of nearby joints.
Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon, any one of the thick fibrous cords that attaches muscle to bone. Tendinitis causes pain and tenderness just outside a joint, most commonly the shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and heels.
The wearing down of the protective cartilage at the ends of the bones causes osteoarthritis. This form of arthritis may be due to excessive stresses over prolonged periods of time, or due to trauma, or chronic deformity.
Primary osteoarthritis is associated with aging and progressive degeneration of joints.
Secondary osteoarthritis is generally the consequence of another disease or condition, such as repeated trauma to the affected joint, or abnormal joint structures from birth.
Some people may have congenital abnormalities of the joints. For example, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease may cause early degeneration of the hips, and subsequently lead to osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis tends to affect older adults, and particularly affects the joints that experience repetitive stresses and strains. Some predisposing factors to osteoarthritis of the hip include:
A previous fracture that involved the hip joint.
A growth abnormality of the hip (such as a shallow acetabulum socket).
Some childhood hip problems such as a slipped capital femoral epiphysis and Legg-Calve-Perthes disease.
Obesity, which puts an additional burden on the hips, knees, ankles, and feet.
A strong family history of hip or knee osteoarthritis.
Abnormalities in the function of knee joints, resulting from fractures of the knee, torn cartilage, and torn ligaments can lead to osteoarthritis many years after the injury. The mechanical abnormality may lead to excessive wear and tear of the joint cartilage.
There are more than 100 different types of arthritis. Symptoms vary according to the type of arthritis.
Doctors diagnose arthritis with your medical history, physical exam, and x-rays.
Consult a doctor who will determine the type of arthritis you have.
Rest the joint until the pain subsides, to prevent further inflammation.
To ease the pain or stiffness of the joint, apply ice or heat to the joint, as recommended by your doctor.
Take painkillers or anti-inflammatories, as recommended by your doctor.
If you are overweight, try to reduce weight to lighten the load on weight-bearing joints.
Participate in regular exercise.
Arthritis can be managed with treatment that focuses on relieving symptoms and improving joint function. Your doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory medicine, and may also recommend occupational therapy or physical therapy. In severe cases, surgery may be recommended, such as a hip or knee replacement, which can produce excellent results.
Treatment of osteoarthritis focuses on decreasing pain and improving joint function.
Initial treatment for osteoarthritis of the hip or knee is generally conservative, consisting of rest, avoidance of vigorous weight bearing activities, and the use of non-narcotic analgesics, and anti-inflammatory medications.
For more severe symptoms, a cortisone or viscosupplementation treatment may relieve pain. As recommended by your doctor, surgery may be the best option for your particular arthritis condition.
Exercise is very important because it increases lubrication of the joints and strengthens the surrounding muscles. This helps put less stress on joints. Exercise in a heated swimming pool (hydrotherapy) can bring substantial relief from pain and stiffness. Studies have also shown that exercise helps people with arthritis by increasing flexibility, muscle strength, and energy. Keeping active also helps with weight reduction and offers an improved sense of well-being.
If I have arthritis, is diet and nutrition a simple matter?
Can my diet cure my arthritis?
Are there foods that can cause my arthritis to 'flare-up' or go into remission?
What role do vitamins and nutritional supplements play in the treatment of arthritis?
Will losing weight help ease my symptoms?
These are examples of questions that people with arthritis often ask, and they are valid questions. Some questions (Can my diet cure your arthritis?) have simple answers (No). Other questions (Are there foods that can cause my arthritis to 'flare-up' or go into remission?) are not so simple.
Most of what you need to know about diet and nutrition is common sense; healthy eating is much the same for anyone, whether you have arthritis or not.

When Black History Meets Professional Development
NAESP Resources February 2020 When Black History Meets Professional Development
A field trip to a museum helps staff refine their inclusion and equity lens.
February 27, 2020 | By Kaylen Tucker
Topics: Equity and Diversity, Professional Development
Communicator, February 2020 , Volume 43, Issue 6
Today was our first staff day. To continue our focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, we went on a field trip to the National Museum of African American History and Culture in DC. #GetSetHCPSS #HCPSSFirstDay #gr8suCCESs #ANationsStory pic.twitter.com/nXqOngafDf
— Clemens Crossing ES (@hcpss_cces) August 21, 2019
"How can I bring more meaning to our annual back-to-school staff development day?" That is the question that Clemens Crossing Elementary School principal Edward Cosentino wrestled with as he prepared for the 2019-2020 school year. Cosentino was inspired by a Leading Lessons staff guide in which NAESP Center for Innovative Leadership fellows Andy Jacks and Hamish Brewer urged principals to plan exciting activities for staff to kick off the school year.
The result? Cosentino planned a staff field trip to the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) in Washington, D.C. While tickets are notoriously difficult to secure, especially for large groups, Cosentino was able to transport the 75 staff members from their Columbia, Maryland, school for a day of professional learning.
"For four and a half hours our staff was immersed in the history of this nation—African-American history, but it's all of our history," he said. "It was more powerful than what you can do in a one-hour PD."
The museum field trip was the first day of a new job for special education teacher Melanie Matthews. "When I heard we were going, I was shocked," she said. "There was a boldness to it. As a black teacher, I really appreciated that."
Matthews attended segregated schools in Kansas through second grade and has seen recognition for black history evolve. "I remember when black history was just a week [celebration]," she said. Matthews had visited the NMAAHC several times before the staff field trip, but this time she went strictly as an educator. "The section on Brown vs. Board of Education spoke to me because of the work I do with special education students," she said. "Separate but equal is not OK for students of color, or for special education students."
Shannon Keeny, who is the facilitator in the office of diversity, equity, and inclusion for Howard County Public School System (HCPSS), also attended the staff field trip. "I was there as a support to him to think about how to have conversations with staff around diversity, equity, and inclusion and how our actions promote a sense of belonging and fairness."
Many in education look to the HCPSS's Learning and Leading with Equity strategic plan as an experiment in large, diverse, suburban school districts.
Keeny says that in addition to looking at instructional practices the district is exploring how to create a restorative culture—what it means and what it could look like in school buildings. They are also helping students be a part of the conversation and looking at the extent to the district is serving communities. Critical questions are: What barriers are in place that exclude some members of the community? To what extent are we valuing diversity?
Reflection and Impact
Back at their campus, the Clemens Crossing staff followed up on the museum experience by discussing its impact. "Some people may have been uncomfortable, but it was a good time to reflect on that and talk about why," said Matthews.
According to Matthews—whose children attended Howard County schools—the diversity in curriculum is much better now. She recounts that this year for Black History Month a third-grade student dressed up as African-American entrepreneur Madame C.J. Walker and even had a straightening comb in her pocket. "Twenty-five years ago there would have been shame [about the straightening comb]," she said. "Now it was very matter of fact—this is because a lot of things have been demystified—the kids have a different level of comfort with difference."
Cosentino believes that teachers used their learning about black history to provide diversity-rich experiences in the classroom—which benefits black students and students of all backgrounds. "The more students are immersed in cultures that are not their own, and multiple cultures, the better off they will be when they are in the real world," Consentino said. "It also goes beyond race. We're also talking about gender and stereotypes," he said.
According to Keeny, principals who want to strengthen their equity lens must be purposeful and strategic and must create windows into other people's lives. She is also big on relationship-building, because without it she says you can't have necessary critical conversations. "You must [be a] model and set up spaces that help build the efficacy for people to engage authentically."
What's next for the Clemens Crossing staff now that they have broadened their lens on the African-American experience? Cosentino encourages staff to look at different perspectives of other groups, dig deep, and ask questions, especially when engaging with parents. "Everyone doesn't have to be in the same stage on the continuum but must continue to learn," he said.

Big Brother 2012 – Will Conor Wriggle Free Again?
Posted by Dug
It's a pity really, that Conor and Shievonne are up against each other. In a different battle there might have been some easy money to be made on very short odds. As it is, two of the least likeable and most aggressive housemates vie for the public vote and unfortunately only one can go. Boo!
I'm inclined to agree with the market and say that Conor is likely to slither out of eviction for another week. In week one he was yet to show his true colours and last week saw the vote split too many ways for Conor's enemies to have a clear vote. This week poses a different problem. Those who truly want Conor out (and there may be many of them) have only the option of voting for Shievonne who has become this week's bad guy. Not only is she an ally of Conor's, she is now attempting to manipulate Deana against her friends at the very point that Miss India UK was starting to settle in.
There is also the fact that Conor himself has calmed down somewhat since Arron's departure. This may be largely as a result of realising that Deana's vote topping indicated public support in her dispute with the boys. Conor has bully paranoia so he's steering clear and playing nice for a bit. The cameras haven't been on him much but they shot enough to capture his sobfest and perhaps garner him a little sympathy.
Let's throw in the depressing but inevitable truths that Conor has a polling advantage when it comes to age, gender, race and regionality (yes I'm making that a word, it makes sense in my head) and then things just don't look great for Shiv. I imagine that supporters of Deana and the Smokers (what a band name!) would probably have a tough time choosing an evictee and might not bother to vote at all. I may be wrong but this feels like a week where the vote to save system won't necessarily push people to vote for one housemate in order to boot the other. It's not bland vs evil; it's aggressive, chauvinist pirate vs aggressive, righteous rapper. Who goes? You decide.
If it is the case that this week's eviction rests more on the genuine popular vote than the default vote then I think Conor's at a clear advantage. For one thing, he's survived two hangings so far so he must have some fans out there. What interests me is the effect that this will have on his position in the house. Surviving a third nomination is likely to make him feel invincible as well as suggesting to the other housemates that there is little point in nominating him. If Conor manages past this week then his chances of making it to the final, a la angry Scottish Jason (series 5), look better and better.
It's interesting to see that from once topping the leader board, Caroline has finally hit rock bottom in the bookies' estimations. It's funny that she's yet to become the show's big baddie as her constant, calculated malice makes her a much better panto villain than the meathead Arron or the clearly insane Lydia.
Deana and the Smokers (literally, where do I get tickets for that gig?) still make up the 'big 4' in the running for the win. I think this seems fair for now but the emerging tension between the two most paranoid housemates, Lauren and Deana, as instigated by Shievonne, could cause a rift which would surely see one of them coming out more favourably. That could certainly rock the boat somewhat. Sara and Becky follow shortly behind, Luke S and Scott hover around the lower middle and 'C.A.C.S.' as the bitchy four shall be known scrape the barrel of chance in terms of win potential.
I'm tentative to advise an official 'tip' this week but for what it's worth my money is on Conor to stay and Shievonne to go.
If anyone knows of ANY way that we could make this a double eviction OR where the hell I can get tickets for Deana and the Smokers, please be in touch. Many thanks.

Hi Dug, I largely agree with you this week. It's a massive shame that Conor and Shievonne are up against each other and that only one of them can go. In Shievonne's favour though are all the polls which if translated into votes would see her saved. The very early polls indicated a massive lead for Shievonne, so I put a small amount on Conor to be evicted at 2.20. Unfortunately for me, Shievonne has since behaved madder than a box of frogs and turned herself into a bit of an antagonist.
One notable trend for most of the weeks is that the housemate with the most camera time post-nomination has ended up being evicted – certainly true for Benedict, Lydia and Chris at least. That combined with the obvious demographic advantages for Conor (Irish vote?), could see Shievonne out. I will wait until tomorrow to decide for sure, but it's likely I'll reverse my position so that I'm on Shievonne to be evicted instead. As we saw last week, Conor is one of those housemates with a silent-but-deadly fanbase (Ulrika Jonnsson, anyone?) which could see him through to next week.
Haha, good observations Tim. I absolutely love the image of the silent-but-deadly fanbase.

I think it's great that Conor and Shievonne are up against each other instead of a short-odds situation, as calling it correctly leads to some actual value. I also think Shievonne = gone. I've only been watching BB since Monday but in that time she's managed to raise my blood pressure sufficiently that I kind of want to smash her head in. Conor, meanwhile, has a fanbase of girls who want him to do things to them. A quick scour of Twitter towards the end of last night's show seemed to reveal a fair few Conor fans, but no real Shievonne fanbase, instead mainly just a massive level of irritation towards her. There were quite a few girls in the audience on BBBOTS last night whose favourite was Conor too. He plays into the classic brooding, rough and ready, quick and nasty bad-boy archetype – the type that attracts a lot of women (and gay men) (ie. the core BB audience) because they think they can change them (see: Mr Darcy, Twilight, 50 Shades Of Shite etc.). So the fact he's featured little this week and seemed sullen and withdrawn, like an injured puppy, will work in his favour. Also the fact he got his bum out while being spray-tanned last night may work in his favour (can't believe I just wrote that sentence…).
"regionality" is a word, dinna worry, at least it's in Wiktionary if that's owt to go by…
I think either Luke S or Adam will win, possibly also Becky. Lauren's too much of a flake. Deana has had a good narrative but I think she's also too much of a flake. Caroline will be out on her bratty arse the first week she's nominated, hopefully deservedly accompanied by a choir of boos and projectiles.
Finally, has anyone noticed the parallels to series 6? The housemates have split into two opposed groups, partly along racial lines; Luke S + Ashleigh = Maxwell + Saskia, Scott = Craig, Becky = Kinga (comical larger-than-life lass), Benedict = Roberto (sexy older teacher evicted early), Shievonne = Science (attitudinal obstreperous windbag). Though perhaps this has only leapt out at me as that was the last series I watched any of…
A win for Luke S would be a fail, not just by BB voters but on behalf of the entire universe. He reminds me of the boy at school who gets head boy but still dishes out bogwashes at lunch. I didn't like the way he asserted dominance over the kitchen or the way he thrust his groin at Deana during their argument (even if she was wrong to get involved in the sham marriage). And he criticises the smokers for their withdrawal symptoms yet displays the same reaction upon losing his beloved protein powder (as if his health choices make him a superior human being).
I agree that Conor could pick up a lot of sexy votes now that Arron has gone. There's something strangely sexless about Luke S, in all his beefed up glory. Like Barbie's Ken, I imagine him to be completely smooth down below.
I still think Lauren is a fair favourite for the win. I've grown to like Adam but his flirtations with Lauren are a little bit of a turn off. She doesn't appear to return his romantic interests but she could be in danger of 'leading him on'. It's depressing how much the GBP in 2012 still essentially see women as daughters of Eve come to corrupt and defile the men of the land. Hopefully Lauren has the innocence to get away with it but I still think a dispute with Deana could tip the scales in the favour of one and not the other. Similarly, the 'romance' between Lauren and Adam is likely to favour one and hurt the other. Either he'll come off looking creepy or she'll come off looking like a tease. Or hopefully their friendship will hold fast.
Please not Luke S. Anyone but Luke S.
I agree on Luke S, there is something completely sexless about him, he's like a Cylon.
Sorry, that was a complete typo for Luke A…
I can see why in previous series when two contestants had the same name, they insisted one change it to something else (like Paul -> Bubble)
You're totally getting hazed for that typo, euro.
And did you see the article on Betfair referring to Luke A as he/she/it?
So low. 🙁
Hah! The Revenge Of Dug. No, I didn't see that, that's a shame…
So Shievonne was evicted, and didn't become the 10th female in BB history to beat a male in a head-to-head. We have to be looking at a double eviction or surprise midweek eviction ASAP, I think. There also haven't been any new additions, although admittedly this year's housemates are very good.

Alas no time for a lengthy post this week, partly because I'm on holiday and partly because I'm a little stumped re Luke V Lauren.
It's a hard one to call, probably the hardest of the series. In one corner you've got Luke A, the 'everyman' whose personal journey has impressed and inspired many. He has maturity, empathy and a no-nonsense attitude on his side. Facing off against Luke is his bestie, Lauren, the bouncy, wide-eyed tomboy. She has innocence, openness and impulsivity going for her. In this series or any another, they both have great polling potential. Unfortunately the unstoppable force and the immovable object are up against each other and only one can stay.
Lauren is the bookie's fave to stay and this week I'm leaning safe and jumping on the bandwagon. She's just easier to warm to whereas Luke A can be a little sullen at times and not in a slightly hilarious bacon rampage way.
I'll stick with Lauren right now but I won't be backing her at short odds. How's about the rest of you?

South Sudan's name change work of Parliament: Akol
صحيفة سودان تربيون اخبار السودان / ديسمبر 15, 2021
December 14, 2021 (JUBA) – An outspoken South Sudanese opposition politician said any move to change the country's name is not the role of an individual, but the competence of the national parliament.
Last week, South Sudan's First Vice President, Riek Machar suggested that South Sudan's name be changed to the People's Republic of Sudan to match the originality of Sudan in relation to its history with people.
He argued that "South" is not a country's name, but rather a direction.
Lam Akol, in a tweet on Tuesday, watered down suggestions that Africa's youngest nation be renamed the People's Republic of Sudan.
Akol, who heads the opposition National Democratic Movement (NDM), said the parliament is mandated to change a country's name.
He was reacting to a comment made by South Sudan's former deputy Defense minister, Majak de Agoot, who described Machar's proposal on change of name as "an early sign of lazy brain syndrome".
"Lazy brains are symptomized by the inability or unwillingness to revisit decisions taken 10 years ago. More so by not discussing ideas on their own merits however absurd they may sound. However, the change of name is a competence of parliament", said Akol in a tweet.
Agoot wondered why Machar, who headed the transition committee which approved the country's current name, now wants it changed.
"Dr Riek Machar was the chair of the transition committee which suggested the young country be christened as the republic of South Sudan in 2011. With his new proposal in 2021 of the People's Republic of Sudan, could we say it is an early sign of lazy brain syndrome", he said.
Ustaz Kachuol Mabil, a Juba university lecturer, said a change of leadership should come first before talks regarding the change of name.
"Change of guards first. The name of South Sudan isn't the reason we're stuck in vicious cycles of violence and underdevelopment. Dr Riek Machar should present issues of substance than this non-issue", said Mabil. He asked the leaders to pay attention to important issues.
In January 2011, South Sudanese overwhelmingly voted to secede from Sudan.
A steering committee on post-independence governing body announced that upon independence, the country would be named Republic of South Sudan (RSS) out of familiarity and convenience.
Also suggested were names like The Nile Republic as well as Cush.
A committee meeting of top SPLM members agreed on the Republic of South Sudan, which was approved by the transitional parliament.

Encana takes a diligent risk-management approach towards understanding and limiting the potential risk for anomalous hydraulic fracturing related induced seismicity in the Kaybob area near Fox Creek, AB. Over the past five years, Encana has continued to build-on recognized industry best practices, advanced strategic technical projects as well as improved its internal operational workflows and protocols to effectively assess, monitor and manage the potential risk for anomalous induced seismicity. Through a Duvernay case study, Encana will demonstrate its risk-management workflow on a recent Kaybob multi-well pad. Learnings to date suggest that induced seismicity risk can be managed through proper risk assessments and management protocols. Continued collaboration between industry, regulators and academia is integral in maintaining public safety, environmental protection and safe operations.

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) in the Triangle is bringing you a unique opportunity for the second year in a row, with the AIA Triangle Tour of Residential Architecture. This is an interesting, informative tour that isn't just for architecture junkies, but for anyone who is curious about the vastly diverse living spaces in the area, from historically charming to cutting-edge modern.
On Oct. 1st, the Triangle will be transformed into a gallery, and residential living spaces will be the works of art. The homes that will be showcased were designed by local architects, reflecting a variety of housing options. The tour will feature urban infill and adaptive reuses, condominiums, historic preservations, new constructions, renovations and additions.
This is a great opportunity to see a part of the Triangle that you normally wouldn't notice or even have access to during your travels. The tour reveals local architectural flavor and style, while also juxtaposing the history of a centuries-old residence with the futuristic inspiration of the latest design styles. For more information about the tour, visit the AIA Triangle website.

Tulsa 1000: A naturalistic study protocol for multilevel assessment and outcome prediction in a large psychiatric sample
Teresa A. Victor, Sahib S. Khalsa, W. Kyle Simmons, Justin S. Feinstein, Jonathan Savitz, Robin L. Aupperle, Hung Wen Yeh, Jerzy Bodurka, Martin P. Paulus
Introduction Although neuroscience has made tremendous progress towards understanding the basic neural circuitry underlying important processes such as attention, memory and emotion, little progress has been made in applying these insights to psychiatric populations to make clinically meaningful treatment predictions. The overall aim of the Tulsa 1000 (T-1000) study is to use the NIMH Research Domain Criteria framework in order to establish a robust and reliable dimensional set of variables that quantifies the positive and negative valence, cognition and arousal domains, including interoception, to generate clinically useful treatment predictions. Methods and analysis The T-1000 is a naturalistic study that will recruit, assess and longitudinally follow 1000 participants, including healthy controls and treatment-seeking individuals with mood, anxiety, substance use and eating disorders. Each participant will undergo interview, behavioural, biomarker and neuroimaging assessments over the course of 1 year. The study goal is to determine how disorders of affect, substance use and eating behaviour organise across different levels of analysis (molecules, genes, cells, neural circuits, physiology, behaviour and self-report) to predict symptom severity, treatment outcome and long-term prognosis. The data will be used to generate computational models based on Bayesian statistics. The final end point of this multilevel latent variable analysis will be standardised assessments that can be developed into clinical tools to help clinicians predict outcomes and select the best intervention for each individual, thereby reducing the burden of mental disorders, and taking psychiatry a step closer towards personalised medicine. Ethics and dissemination Ethical approval was obtained from Western Institutional Review Board screening protocol #20101611. The dissemination plan includes informing health professionals of results for clinical practice, submitting results to journals for peer-reviewed publication, presenting results at national and international conferences and making the dataset available to researchers and mental health professionals. Trial registration number NCT02450240; Pre-results.

Levels of PCDD/F and dioxin-like PCB in Baltic fish of different age and gender.
Pandelova M1, Henkelmann B, Roots O, Simm M, Järv L, Benfenati E, Schramm KW.
Concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) in Baltic Sea fish like herring (Clupea harengus membras), sprat (Sprattus sprattus balticus), perch (Perca fluviatilis), pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) and flounder (Platichthys flesus trachurus) collected from four areas of the Estonian coastal waters are reported. All samples are studied for their relationship between the length (cm) and wet weight (g); length (cm) and age (years); lipid content and dry matter. The level of PCDD/F and PCB concentrations in younger 1-5 years old Baltic herring and sprat collected in 2002-2005 from the eastern and central parts of the Gulf of Finland, Gulf of Riga and Open Baltic Sea (Central Baltic) is related to the fish age and compared with those found in the 1990s. In addition, PCDD/F and PCB concentrations of different age groups herring, sprat, perch, pikeperch and flounder collected in 2003-2004 from the Lake Peipsi, Gulf of Finland, Gulf of Riga and Open Baltic Sea are related also to their age. Consequently, it was manifested that in older Baltic fish the concentrations of PCDD/F and PCB were higher than in the younger age groups. By the help of principle component analysis (PCA) the effect of gender on the concentrations of PCDD/F for the juvenile Baltic herring and sprat collected in 2004-2005 is investigated for the first time. It was summarized that the biological factor age plays a large role for the contamination of the fish with important toxic organohalogenated compounds such as PCDD/F.

Measles vaccination: how to prevent it?
by Veronika in Vaccines
The Measles is a contagious viral in nature and can be contracted by people of all ages.
Transmission happens directly, from the sick person to a healthy person, through the secretions expelled when coughing, sneezing, breathing and even talking.
There is no specific treatment for measles. Therefore, according to the Ministry of Health, the best way to prevent it is with vaccination . It is the most effective way to prevent the disease, which can be serious and even fatal.
In cases where any symptom such as diarrhea , pneumonia and inflammation in the ears is identified , the person should seek medical help as soon as possible. Treatment, if the diagnosis is confirmed, consists of the use of antibiotic drugs , which only treat the symptoms.
In this article, we will talk a little more about the measles cases registered in 2019, as well as, frequently asked questions about the subject.

Measles cases in 2019
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the current measles outbreak is a global problem and the number of cases worldwide has tripled in the first 7 months of 2019, compared to the same period of the year in 2018.
In Brazil, according to the Ministry of Health, the number of measles cases grew 18% in 2019.
There were 3 deaths (2 children and 1 adult) in São Paulo and 1 (child) in Pernambuco, until August 2019. In none of the 4 cases, measles immunization was identified.
The new measles epidemiological bulletin reported that, from June 9 to August 31, 2019, Brazil reported 20,292 cases of the disease. Of these cases, 15,430 are under investigation and 2,109 have already been discarded.
Up to the month of October, 6,640 cases in the country were confirmed, most of them affecting people between 20 and 29 years old. Despite this, the age group most susceptible to the disease (12 times more than the general population) are children between 1 and 4 years old.
Most cases (suspected and confirmed) are in the state of São Paulo, representing 90.9% of the total, according to the State Department of Health.
The Ministry of Health confirmed, in the August bulletin, the incidence of 1,388 measles cases in the states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Bahia and Paraná, in addition to another 66 in other states.
How to prevent measles?
According to the Ministry of Health, vaccination is the best way to prevent measles.
It is important to note that people with a history of severe allergic reactions to previous doses of the vaccine should be vaccinated in urgent and emergency care, in case they need to treat possible side effects.
What are the vaccines that protect against measles?
There is more than one vaccine that protects from measles and they all prevent the disease in the same way. The type of vaccine to be applied is defined according to the patient's age group.
The vaccine types are:
Viral duo: protects against measles and rubella. It can also be used in cases of an outbreak of the disease;
Triple viral : protects against measles, mumps and rubella;
Viral tetra: protects against measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox (chicken pox) virus.
Measles vaccination: who needs to take it?
The Ministry of Health has stipulated some criteria to determine who needs to get the vaccine. Check out what these criteria are:
Children aged 6 to 11 months and 29 days : should take an extra dose of the vaccine. It does not replace the 1st and 2nd doses, as it is only a reinforcement due to the increase in the number of cases in children;
Children aged 12 months (1 year) : 1st dose of the triple viral vaccine;
Children aged 15 months : 2nd dose of viral tetra. Last dose for life;
People between 1 and 29 years of age : for those who took only the 1st dose of the vaccine, it will be necessary to take the 2nd dose;
People between 1 and 29 years of age : for those who have not taken any dose of the vaccine or lost the vaccination card and do not remember having taken it, they should take the 1st and 2nd doses;
Persons 30 to 49 years of age : For those who have not taken any dose of the vaccine or lost their vaccination card and do not remember having taken it
In addition to vaccinating children at the stipulated ages as a priority, the Ministry of Health advises that, in cases of measles outbreaks, it is recommended to vaccinate all close people within 72 hours.
People of all ages must have 2 doses of the vaccine. In general, anyone in the 29-year-old age group was born at a time when the 2nd dose was not part of the National Vaccination Calendar. So, probably a lot of people didn't take it.
It is important to check the vaccination card and check if the 2 doses have been taken. If not, the recommendation is to look for a health clinic and update the vaccination to be protected against measles.
Can pregnant women get the measles vaccine?
The vaccine is contraindicated during pregnancy, as it is produced with live measles virus (although attenuated).
With pregnancy, the woman's immunity decreases, leaving the immune system more vulnerable, which means that there is a greater chance of developing the disease or some other health complication.
The recommendation of the Ministry of Health is that the woman who intends to get pregnant try to take the 2 doses of the vaccine before. That way, it is possible to protect yourself and the baby.
How many doses of measles vaccine do you have to take?
It depends. As we saw earlier, vaccination cases vary according to age. Check below how many doses of the vaccine are needed:
Children from 6 to 11 months: from 2 to 3 doses (extra dose in cases of outbreaks + 1st and 2nd doses);
Children from 12 months to less than 5 years of age: 2 doses (triple viral);
From 5 to 29 years : 2 doses;
Adults from 30 to 49 : 1 dose.
Does the vaccine have side effects?
Vaccines that protect against measles (triple viral and tetraviral) usually have few or no side effects. In some cases, fever , pain and redness may occur at the injection site.
It is important to remember that the vaccine does not cause disease or other problems. Side effects are only temporary manifestations that can happen sporadically.
Cases of hypersensitivity to the vaccine are generally rare, but they can happen. The vaccine contains human albumin, neomycin sulfate (antibiotic), gelatin and traces of chicken egg protein.
In addition, in Brazil, one of the vaccines used in the public network may contain traces of lactoalbumin (protein from cow's milk).
In cases of adverse reactions, it is recommended to seek medical advice immediately.
Who is vaccinated against measles can get?
Hardly . Those who are already vaccinated against measles with doses according to their age group, have little chance of getting the disease.
With the great mobilization to vaccinate the population, the circulation of the virus decreased. This made people less exposed to the virus and, thus, did not acquire a natural reinforcement from it.
Those who have been infected with the virus previously need not worry, as they have probably developed antibodies against measles and will not be at risk of getting the disease again.
The vaccine is the most effective method to prevent the disease. However, it is important to remember that it may eventually fail.
Measles vaccination campaign
Due to the measles outbreak, the Federal Government, the Ministry of Health and the Health Departments organized the National Measles Vaccination Campaign , with the aim of ending the circulation of the virus in the country.
The campaign will take place as follows:
1st stage: from 7 to 25 October 2019, for children from 6 months to under 5 years of age;
2nd stage: from 18 to 30 November 2019, for the public aged 20 to 29 years old;
D-Day : October 19 and November 30, 2019, for the entire population.
