Animals-4,620 horses on 500 farms.
Procedures-A questionnaire was structured and mailed to farm owners or managers to obtain information related to diagnosis of anhidrosis in horses and exposure factors associated with this condition. The frequency of investigated farm- and animal-level factors was compared between farms and horses affected and not affected with anhidrosis, respectively.
Results-The prevalence of anhidrosis was 11% at the farm level and 2% at the animal level. The odds of anhidrosis were 2.13 and 4.40 times
as high in farms located in central and southern Florida, respectively, compared with odds for farms in northern Florida. The odds of anhidrosis were 5.26 and 15.40 times OSI-906 in vitro as high in show and riding instruction operations, respectively, compared with odds for ranch operations. At the animal level, breed (Thoroughbreds and warmblood horses), foaling place (western or midwestern region of the United States), and family history of anhidrosis were significantly associated with anhidrosis.
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance-This study provides new information on the prevalence of and factors for anhidrosis in horses in Florida. Horses with a family history of anhidrosis should be examined by a veterinarian for diagnosis of this condition before they are exposed to exercise in a hot and humid climate.

"Purpose of review
To provide an overview of the mechanisms
of autoimmunity associated with Birinapant primary immunodeficiencies.
Recent findings
Over the past several years, new concepts of the relationship between primary immunodeficiencies and autoimmunity have developed that promise to illuminate the mechanisms by which alterations in the same gene may alternately, or sometimes concomitantly, lead to increased susceptibility to infection and loss of self-tolerance. A common pathway in the process leading to autoimmunity involves gene defects that permit effector T-cell development in the absence of sufficient regulatory T-cell function. Conversely, MLN2238 gene defects that primarily
lead to autoimmunity may impair host defense by neutralizing key elements of immunity. The production of neutralizing antibodies against cytokines comprises a newly recognized mechanism in which autoimmunity may lead to immunodeficiency.
Autoimmunity has long been known to be a part of the presenting symptoms and clinical course of many primary immunodeficiencies. This review will provide an overview of the new concepts regarding the complex relationship between the genetic immune deficiencies and autoimmunity. The mechanisms by which immunodeficiency may lead to autoimmunity or, in some instances, by which autoimmunity produces immunodeficiency can provide important insights into the underlying pathogenic processes and ultimately better diagnosis and treatment for the patient."

Studies in the rat hippocampus have been shown that BDNF is capable to rescue that late-phase of long-term potentiation as well as
the hippocampus-related LTM when protein synthesis was inhibited. Our previous studies on the insular cortex (IC), a region of the temporal cortex implicated in the acquisition and storage of conditioned taste aversion (CTA), have demonstrated that intracortical delivery of BDNF reverses that deficit in CTA memory caused by the inhibition of IC protein synthesis due to anisomycin administration during early acquisition. In this work, we first analyze whether CTA memory storage is protein synthesis-dependent in different time analyze whether CTA memory storage is protein synthesis-dependent in different time windows. We observed that CTA memory became sensible to protein synthesis inhibition 5 and 7h after acqisition. Then, we explore that effect of BDNF delivery (2 mu g/2 mu l check details per side) in the IC during those late protein synthesis-dependent phases. Our results show that BDNF reverses the
CTA memory deficit produced by protein synthesis inhibition in both phases. These AZD9291 in vivo findings support the notion that recurrent rounds of consolidation-like events take place in the neocortex for maintencance of CTA memory trace and that BDNF is and essential component of these processes."
"OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between different types of child maltreatment and the presence of psychiatric disorders in highly vulnerable children and adolescents served selleck by a multidisciplinary program.
METHODS: In total, 351 patients with a mean age of 12.47, of whom 68.7% were male and 82.1% lived in shelters, underwent psychiatric evaluations based on the Kiddie-Sads-Present and Lifetime Version. Two different methods were used to evaluate maltreatment: medical records were reviewed to identify previous diagnoses related to socioeconomic and psychosocial circumstances, and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire was used to
obtain a structured history of trauma. Bivariate associations were evaluated between psychiatric disorders and evidence of each type and the frequency of abuse.
RESULTS: The most frequent psychiatric diagnoses were substance use disorders, affective disorders and specific disorders of early childhood, whereas 13.67% of the sample had no psychiatric diagnosis. All patients suffered neglect, and 58.4% experienced physical or sexual abuse. The presence of a history of multiple traumas was only associated with a diagnosis of substance use disorder. Mental retardation showed a strong positive association with reported physical abuse and emotional neglect. However, a negative correlation was found when we analyzed the presence of a history of multiple traumas and mental retardation.

"Background. Reduced testicular volume (TV) (<12 cm(3)) is associated with lower testicular function. Several studies explored the conventional sperm parameters
(concentration, motility, and morphology) and the endocrine function (gonadotropins and testosterone serum concentrations) in the patients with reduction of TV. No other parameters have been examined. Aim. This study aims at evaluating some biofunctional sperm parameters by flow cytometry in the semen of men with reduced TV compared with that of subjects with normal TV. Methods. 78 patients without
primary scrotal disease were submitted to ultrasound evaluation of the testis. They were divided into two groups according to testicular volume: A Group, including 40 patients with normal testicular volume (TV > 15 cm(3)) and B Group, including 38 patients with reduced testicular www.selleckchem.com/products/repsox.html volume (TV <= 12 cm(3)). All patients underwent serum hormone concentration, conventional and biofunctional (flow cytometry) sperm parameters evaluation. Results. With regard to biofunctional sperm parameters, all values (mitochondrial membrane potential, phosphatidylserine externalization, chromatin compactness, and DNA fragmentation) were strongly negatively correlated with testicular volume (P < 0.0001). Conclusions. This study for the first time in the literature states that the biofunctional sperm parameters worsen and with near linear correlation, with decreasing testicular volume."
"Background: For intramucosal undifferentiated early gastric cancer (EGC), gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy
is now the standard therapy. However, because approximately 96% of intramucosal undifferentiated EGC do not have https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Temsirolimus.html lymph node metastasis (LNM). Gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy may be overtreatment for such patients. This study was conducted to identify clinicopathological factors predictive of LNM in undifferentiated EGC and further to expand the possibility of using endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for the treatment of undifferentiated EGC.
Methods: Data from 108 patients with undifferentiated EGC and surgically treated were collected, and the association between the clinicopathological factors and the presence of LNM were retrospectively analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated.
Results: The tumor size (OR = 11.475, 95% CI: 2.054-64.104, P = 0.005), depth of invasion (OR = 11.704, 95% CI: 2.536-54.010, P = 0.002), and lymphatic vessel involvement (LVI) (OR = 13.688, 95% CI: 1.779-105.324, P = 0.

A group of entire male pigs fed dried chicory root for 16 days prior to slaughter were included in the study. CYP activities were assessed by the use of probe substrates, whilst mRNA and protein expression were analysed by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Furthermore inhibition of CYP dependent activity by gonadal steroids was assessed in vitro. Microsomes from female pigs had greater CYP1A2 and 2A selleck screening library activity, as well
as mRNA expression compared to entire male pigs. The antibodies used did not detected differences in protein expression. In vitro inhibition by 17 beta-oestradiol, oestrone, androstenone and 3 beta-OH androstenol of CYP2E1 activity in microsomes from entire male pigs as well as inhibition of CYP1A activity in chicory fed entire male pigs was observed. Apart from that no effect of steroids was shown. In conclusion, female pigs show greater CYP activity and mRNA expression. Including chicory in the diet for 16 days changed the gonadal steroid dependent inhibition of CYP activity in entire male pigs."

"In the present study calibration models were developed for non destructive estimation of total phenol
and crude fiber content in intact rapeseed mustard seed by Fourier transform near infrared spectroscopy (FTNIR). Rapeseed-mustard (Brassica spp.) is an important group of oilseed crops in India. The defatted meal that is left after oil extraction is a high value by-product for animal nutrition and is also a potential source of protein for human nutrition. However the utilization of mustard meal in animal (monogastric livestock such as poultry and pigs) and human nutrition is limited due to high content of antinutritive compounds such as fiber and phenolic. In order to develop genotypes with low or high contents of phenol and fiber fast screening of existing genotypes is required. The traditional methods for estimation of total phenol and crude fiber are destructive and time consuming.

ResultsThe MA regimen induced severe intestinal mucositis manifest by citrullinemia <10mol/L, which was accompanied by an inflammatory response, and bacteremia affected 8 (44%) of 18 patients and coincided with the nadir of citrullinemia. By contrast, those who had been treated with the NMA regimen did not develop severe intestinal mucositis, had a moderate inflammatory response, and only 2 (11%) of the 19 patients developed bacteremia. However, both groups experienced LDK378 price profound neutropenia and its duration was significantly

ConclusionThis study suggests that severe intestinal mucositis, i.e., citrullinemia <10mol/L, defines the period of risk of bacteremia Blasticidin S price better than does neutropenia, and that measuring plasma citrulline may prove useful in deciding who needs empirical antimicrobial therapy and when."
"BACKGROUND: To access tuberculosis (TB) services, patients have to bear the costs of out-of-pocket expenditures or direct costs for transport, drugs and other services that arc not provided free-of-charge. These costs could represent a barrier to care, especially in a country such as Nigeria,
where per capita gross national income is only US$1160 and 46% of the urban population live below the poverty line.
OBJECTIVE: To describe the direct costs of TB diagnosis and treatment in Bauchi State, Nigeria, from the patient's perspective.
METHODS: A cross-sectional study. A sample size of 255 patients was randomly selected from 27 of 67 facilities in Bauchi State, Nigeria.
RESULTS: The median out-of-pocket cost for hospitalised
patients was estimated at US$166.11, while ambulatory patients paid an estimated median cost of US$94.16, equivalent to about 9-38% of their average annual income. Female patients spent a higher proportion of their income on diagnosis and treatment than males (P<0.0001). The median out-of-pocket costs borne by patients before, during and after diagnosis JNJ-26481585 were estimated at respectively US$35.23, US$27.12 and US$23.43 for ambulatory patients, and additional average out-of-pocket spending of US$66.44 for patients hospitalised during their illness. Pre-diagnosis, diagnosis and post-diagnosis out-of-pocket spending did not vary significantly by human immunodeficiency virus status (P>0.05) and sex (P>0.05).
CONCLUSION: The costs of anti-tuberculosis treatment found in this study arc expensive and potentially catastrophic for many patients and their families."

The postoperative changes in vaulting between the ICL and the crystalline at 1, 3, and Momelotinib research buy 6 months and 1 year were quantitatively assessed. The relationship between the vaulting and refractive outcomes at 1 year was also evaluated.
RESULTS: Seventy-five eyes of 47 patients were evaluated. The mean vaulting was 0.61 mm +/-
0.26 (SD), 0.59 +/- 0.25 mm, 0.54 +/- 0.25 mm, and 0.53 +/- 0.24 mm at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year, respectively. The mean refractive error (difference between attempted and achieved manifest spherical equivalent refraction) was 0.01 +/- 0.42 diopter (D) 1 year postoperatively. There was no significant association between the amount of vaulting and the refractive error (r = 0.19, P = .11).
CONCLUSIONS: Vaulting of
the ICL over the crystalline lens decreased slightly with time, likely as a result of pupil movement, age-related increases in crystalline lens thickness, and the fixed position of the ICL haptics. The vaulting did not significantly affect refractive outcomes, suggesting that a precise effective lens position leads to Selleckchem AG14699 higher predictability, largely as a result of the narrow fixated location of the ICL between the back surface of the iris and the ciliary sulcus."
"We have modeled, fabricated, and characterized superhydrophobic surfaces with a morphology formed of periodic microstructures which are cavities. This surface morphology is the inverse of that generally reported in the literature when the surface is formed of pillars or protrusions, and has the advantage that when immersed in water the confined air inside the cavities tends to expel the invading water. This differs from the case of a surface morphology formed of pillars or protrusions, for which water can penetrate irreversibly among the microstructures, necessitating complete drying of the surface in order to again recover its superhydrophobic character. We have developed a theoretical model that allows calculation
of the microcavity dimensions needed to obtain superhydrophobic surfaces composed of patterns of such microcavities, and that provides estimates of the advancing and receding contact angle as a function of microcavity parameters. The model predicts that the cavity aspect ratio (depth-to-diameter ratio) can be much less than unity, indicating that the microcavities selleck chemicals llc do not need to be deep in order to obtain a surface with enhanced superhydrophobic character. Specific microcavity patterns have been fabricated in polydimethylsiloxane and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and contact angle measurements. The measured advancing and receding contact angles are in good agreement with the predictions of the model. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3466979]"

We present a case report of a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patient who presented with recurrent and various pain and

Physicians caring for bariatric surgical patients postoperatively need to be aware of this risk and need to be able to identify early signs of potential postoperative addictions."
"There is no shortage of pharmacologic treatments available for the management of allergic rhinitis (AR), but none regularly provide full relief GSK2126458 from all symptoms. MP29-02 (Dymista (R)) is a novel intranasal formulation of azelastine hydrochloride (AZE) and fluticasone propionate (FP), benefiting from an enhanced formulation and improved device characteristics compared to marketed intranasal corticosteroid (INS) formulations. Results from large, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, head-to-head trials versus first-line therapies, confirmed MP29-02 as the evidence-based drug-of-choice for AR treatment. MP29-02 was twice as effective as AZE or FP for nasal and ocular symptom relief in moderate to severe seasonal AR patients, with superiority documented regardless of season, and in more severe patients. More MP29-02-treated patients experienced clinically relevant responses (i.e., halving of nasal symptom burden and complete/near-to-complete
relief) days faster than those Elafibranor chemical structure on INS or intranasal antihistamine monotherapy. MP29-02′s efficacy was sustained long-term versus FP (up to 52 weeks) in chronic rhinitis patients (perennial AR or nonallergic rhinitis), with 7 out of 10 patients first becoming symptom-free following 1 month's treatment with MP29-02, and days faster than with the INS. These results confirm MP29-02′s superiority over the historical gold-standard therapy for AR (i.e., INS), and position it now as first-line treatment for moderate to severe AR patients, the majority of whom are uncontrolled on existing medications."

Twenty-three patients were found to be infected with P. vivax, 19 with P. falciparum and five with both by thin smear examination. Blood samples were divided into two TGF-beta pathway groups: Group I consisted of patients who were positive for infection by microscopic examination, and Group II consisted of those who showed symptoms, but were negative in microscopic examination. In P. falciparum, IgG against the blood stage antigen in Group I (80.8%) was higher than in Group II (70.0%). In P. vivax, IgG against the blood stage antigen in Group I (53.8%) was higher than in Group II (41.7%). However, the positivity rate of the PvCSP VK210 subtype in Group II (40.0%) was higher than in
Group I (23.1%). Similarly for the PvCSP VK247 subtype, Group II (21.7%) was higher than that for Group I (9.6%). A similar pattern was observed in the ELISA using Pvs25 and Pvs28: positive rates of Group II were higher than those for Group I. However, those differences were not shown significant in statistics.
Conclusions: The positive rates for blood stage antigens of P. falciparum were higher in Group I than in Group II, but the positive rates for antigens of other stages (PfLSA-1 and -3) showed opposite results. Similar to P. falciparum, the positive rate of pre-blood GDC 0068 stage (CSP VK210 and 247 subtype) and post-blood stage (Pvs25 and 28) antigens of P. vivax were higher in Group II than in Group I. Therefore, sero-diagnosis is not helpful to discriminate

Design: Twenty-one children participated in 2 test visits during which they were served either a compulsory breakfast or no breakfast. On both visits, subjects were also served lunch, which was consumed ad libitum. Subjects rated their appetite throughout the morning; parents completed food records that captured children's intake for the remainder of the day.
Results: There was no significant main effect of breakfast see more condition on energy intake at lunch (P = 0.36) or throughout the remainder of the day (P = 0.85).

No, that's not spelled incorrectly.
So, back in July, I had the amazing opportunity to go to DEFCON 20 in Las Vegas. It was quite a historic event; the twentieth anniversary of the biggest, baddest, most talked about computer security convention ever. Though, of course, I'm using that term somewhat euphemistically. I heard about DEFCON shortly after getting started in the IT industry and have wanted to go ever since. Like I mentioned last week, I'm a pretty big fan of sub-cultures and security and, well, DEFCON is the event of the year for an intersection of those two things. Yes, I'm talking about hackers.
Now, before you assume that I'm off breaking the law, hackers aren't all bad. Hackers are just people who think very far outside the box when it comes to things like computers and technology and security. In fact, most hackers will tell you that they're interested in improving security by trying to break it. And, that's definitely a philosophy I share. Until you know your security can withstand an assault, frankly, you don't know how good it really is.
And, as anyone worth their salt at security will tell you, physical access is the first step. If you can lock people out of your system and keep them from gaining any kind of access, well, that's a secure system. If you think I'm exaggerating, well, you'll just have to trust me when I tell you that the most important data isn't available from just any networked computer. To get to it means getting past a locked door. So, what, then, is the first step in testing security? Testing locks.
And, yes, while at DEFCON I learned the basics of lockpicking. It's not actually illegal, unless I'm trying to bypass a lock to which I do not have permission to test, and carrying the tools for it isn't illegal, unless I'm trespassing with them, in which case they become burglar's tools and a different class of felony altogether. But, I'm only interested in the skill for informational and entertainment purposes. Trust me.
If you're interested in exploring the world of "locksport", there are people who can help and you don't even have to go to DEFCON to get it. Just head over to The Open Organization Of Lockpickers' website and take a look. (Yes, that's TOOOL, for short.) They have slideshows that explain the basics as well as links to books and sites where you can buy the tools you need to try your hand at lockpicking. It's loads of fun! Honest!
So, go check them out and enjoy your weekend!

Pretty much anything can be turned into a weapon.
Regular readers here will know that I'm not only security and safety conscious, but into, well, some of the stranger aspects of culture. If there's an obscure method of self-defense, or a strange sub-culture, I probably know about it. I tend to be that way with obscure and rare books, too. But, when all three of these things overlap? It's like nerdvana for me!
And such a confluence of material and subjects exist: Cards as Weapons by Ricky Jay.
You probably have seen Ricky Jay in the movies, believe it or not, even if you may not have recognized him. He's been in a number of movies by David Mamet, but as a character actor, you may not associate his name with his face. Either way, Ricky Jay is quite well known in the stage magic world and is one of the best card technicians who's ever practiced the art. His book, which retails for an amazing sum on [amazon_link id="0446387568″ target="_blank" container="" container_class="" ]Amazon[/amazon_link], on the deadly art of card throwing is well known in some of the circles I've brushed up against in my varied and misspent youth. But, it's been so hard to find and expensive that few of us have ever actually read it. Now, thanks to a, possibly pirated, copy that's up on Scribd, you can download the entire PDF for free. Free! So, if you like magic, or cards, or Ricky Jay, or obscure books, or strange self-defense weapons, or even just knowing cool, strange things, then download this book! While you still can!
Besides, it's Friday and you're reading my blog. What else have you got to do?
Filed under: Art,Fun,Things to Read — Posted by the Network Geek during the Hour of the Tiger which is terribly early in the morning or 5:26 am for you boring, normal people.
What if a book slowly faded away as you read it?
I like to read. No, really, I do. Sure the last couple years I've been pretty busy and I haven't read nearly as much as I used to read in the "old days", but I do still love to read. Most of the time, I grind right through a book at a pretty steady pace, never really stopping until I finish it. Every once in awhile, though, I do get stuck. For whatever reason, a book may not grab me and hold my attention or get to a slow part and I'll lose interest. So, what if there was a way to add a sense of urgency to reading?
Well, that's just what El Libro que No Puede Esperar, which translates as 'The Book that Cannot Wait', does, it makes you hurry, because, truly, the book cannot wait. It's a collection of stories by Latin American authors that's printed in disappearing ink. The book slowly starts to fade as soon as the sealed, plastic package is opened and will vanish completely in about two months, leaving an exceptionally well crafted blank book. In fact, people who buy the book are encouraged to use it as a journal after the original ink disappears completely.
So, what about it? Would "The Book That Cannot Wait" keep you motivated to read faster? Or just seem like a waste of paper?
Well, either way, you can hit that link and see photos of the book, both sealed and with ink disappearing. Go ahead and take a look. It is, after all, Friday and you weren't doing anything anyway!

I've always wanted a post-modern, surrealist pet.
Hermit crabs have always kind of fascinated me. I've had one or two over the years, mostly as a kid. They're pretty fascinating at first. Think about it for a minute. A terrestrial crab that uses the discarded shells of other creatures for a home. Pretty weird, right? Well, ever since I first saw these crazy, little creatures, I've thought it would be cool to put them into clear shells so you could see just what was going on inside. Apparently, I'm not the only one.
Artist/designer Robert DuGrenier has been making glass Hermit crab shells for Hermit Crabs to live in for more than 15 years. And, now, he's offering them for sale, too. So, yes, now we can actually have the crazy hermit crab of the future with a see-through shell.
For real, go look at these and, if you are interested at all, buy some! (No, I don't get a cut! I just think they're cool!) Besides, it's Friday, why not have a little fun wasting time?

The exoplanet Beta Pictoris b. And yet it moves
Finding Kuiper Belt 2.0
Published by Franck Marchis at December 5, 2019
beta pictoris
planet imager
This artist's view shows the planet orbiting the young star Beta Pictoris. This exoplanet is the first to have its rotation rate measured. Its eight-hour day corresponds to an equatorial rotation speed of 100 000 kilometres/hour — much faster than any planet in the Solar System.
Eric Nielsen, formerly a post-doc at the SETI Institute and now a researcher at Stanford University, led a study of the planet beta Pictoris b that combined direct observation of the planet recorded with the Gemini Planet Imager with additional data from space and ground-based observations. The team estimated the mass of this distant planet to be eight to sixteen times that of Jupiter and found that it likely has an elliptical orbit. A video shows the motion of the planet around its star, something that was inconceivable fifteen years ago.
Since it was installed on the Gemini-South telescope in 2013, GPI has been continually observing beta Pictoris, studying its debris disk, atmosphere, and orbit, and searching for additional planets in the system. What makes beta Pictoris b special in the family of directly imaged exoplanets is that it is close enough to its star to complete an orbit in just twenty-five years, which means astronomers are less than a decade from observing a full beta Pic b year since its discovery in 2003. The orientation of the planet's orbit with respect to Earth is more edge on than other imaged planets—in fact, it just misses passing directly in front of its star.
Seeing the exoplanet β Pic b from Franck Marchis on Vimeo.
A new paper from the GPIES team determined the planet's orbit based on a decade and a half of images, as well as radial velocity measurements of both star and planet, and space-based astrometry, which measures the star's reflex motion. Since the amount the star moves in response to the planet depends on the planet's mass, this combination of different techniques has been key to learning about the mass of beta Pic b, a rarity among directly imaged planets. This movie shows the combination of all GPI images of beta Pic b from 2013 until 2018, including the gap between 2016 and 2018 when the planet's orbit took it too close to the star to be detected.
GPI will shortly move to Gemini-North, from which beta Pic is unfortunately not visible; here it will instead search for planets not visible from Gemini-South. Other instruments, including VLT/SPHERE, will continue to monitor the orbit of beta Pic b in coming years.
Many surprises about this system will no doubt be uncovered in the near future. For instance, a recent paper led by Anne-Marie Lagrange showed evidence for a second planet in the system, beta Pic c, based on radial velocity measurements of the star. This planet is expected to have a mass (and thus a brightness) similar to beta Pic b, but be about four times closer to the star. Future observations, especially with upgraded instruments in the southern hemisphere such as the ELT, may be sensitive enough to image this second planet as well, which is expected to be in a similar edge-on orbit as beta Pic b.
What a feast it will be for astronomers when they can study and understand more of these multiple systems by directly imaging their planets!

For any buggy owners out there, these tire ROCK. My son runs a Bandit vxl, mostly in a dirt pit and these tires hook up fantastic. Great wear in the dirt. Run them on the asphalt and expect the front end to see the sky. He is on his second set and would recommend them to everyone. My son runs his car like a mad man and these tires took alot of damage and still run like they should. For anyone that is on a buggy budget run these tires...... Thanks.
While these tires will be good for racing on a kinda damp/muddy track, the real let down is that they're not a 2.2" tire. it was an effort to stretch them over the rim. if they were a 2.2" tire i'd give it 5 stars.
I use these tires in yellow compound on astroturf. I have used all the schumacher tires in turf and, while all work well, the blocks in yellow are definately the longest lasting and perfect grip with the short turf I run on. I highly recommend trying some side by side with mini- pins to see the difference. Mini-pins have more grip initially...but wear quite fast and become too loose. I do not recommend mini-spikes on buggy only because they wear quickly and get looser than the mini-pins do. Mini-spikes do work well on 2wd sct on turf though. For some reason they last a while and are consistent on sct. Hope this helps!!!
Intro: These are being raced on the rear of a Yokomo YZ-2 on short pile outdoor astroturf track using AKA red closed cell foam in north Texas.
MUCH longer tire life than DBoots Multibyte or Schumacher Mini Spikes.
The mounting bead is very narrow; I ended up mounting them to the inner ribs of the wheel rather than the normal outer ribs.
They are a bit smaller than the 2.2" wheels and the compound is very hard; so its a bit of a struggle stretching it over the wheels.
I am very impressed with the grip and handling of these tires with closed cell foam inside. The other tires mentioned above tend to last about 1-1.5 race days before they worn out. I have 2 race days on these (TQ'ed and Won both race days!) and they still have much of their life left; I'd have to guess 75-80%. I wouldn't hesitate to say these will last me at least 6 race days probably more; I'll have to see how the traction fades as they wear.
So from a handling and budget standpoint I can overlook the mounting difficulties; and highly recommend these for short pile astroturf.
These are the hardest tire I have ever run on any toy... they give the longest life also a bit tough to mount.. yet worth it great price also..
these tyres are great on grass, but are usless on any other flat surface, they will not grip and will leave the rear end of your rear wheel drive buggy bouncing around struggling for grip. tyre life isn't that great either as soon as the tread wore down a couple of millimeters the rest of it went down quite quickly.

This Week in Statehouse Action: Spring Cleaning edition
Posted on March 19, 2021 by Carolyn Fiddler
Confession time.
I … [[deep breath]] am a hoarder.
I hoard web browser tabs.
I open something I mean to read or use for research, and four times out of five it just … sits. Unused. Unread.
In the Chrome window I'm using to write this week's missive, I have 38 tabs open.
I'm not proud.
It's time to admit that I have a problem.
So I've decided: Out with them.
This week, I'll click on them, and then I'll use them and/or close them forever.
From right to left—everything to the left of this window is important: Google docs and sheets, necessary-for-everyday-work tabs, that kind of thing.
Okay, here goes.
Far-leftmost tab: Ah, yes, the GOP-controlled West Virginia legislature is trying to amend the state's constitution to allow lawmakers to successfully execute the kind of high-court coup they failed to pull of back in 2018.
This is both weedy and based on a political event that was esoteric at the time and ancient history now.
But considering that I covered the Republicans' attempt to oust and replace Democratic justices with GOP appointees way back when, you're in good hands.
It all started in fall of 2018, when reports began to surface that the justices had indulged in exorbitant spending on expensive furniture amid lavish renovations of their chambers (in the neighborhood of $700,000 for things like fancy couches, elegant flooring, and pricey rugs).
These extravagant refurbs spurred West Virginia's legislative auditor to investigate the court.
The resulting audits revealed some other shady stuff, like judges taking state-owned furniture home with them, improperly driving state vehicles for personal use, and assorted budget shenanigans.
Fast forward to June 2018, when prosecutors indicted Republican Justice Allen Loughry on state and federal charges (54 in all!) of fraud, witness tampering, making false statements, and more.
He was swiftly suspended from the bench, but he refused to resign.
His suspension gave Democrats an ostensible one-seat majority on the court. (Republicans made elections for the state Supreme Court officially nonpartisan after they took control of the legislature in 2014.)
Then, in early July, Democratic Justice Menis Ketchum announced his resignation, although he faced no criminal charges or formal allegations of ethics violations at the time. (He did later plead guilty to one count of fraud.)
If impeachment proceedings had been concluded by Aug. 14 of that year, the resulting vacancies on the court would have been on the ballot in November 2018's general election, and West Virginia voters would have had the chance to elect new justices.
But why would the GOP-controlled legislature want that when foot-dragging would let them game the state's election deadlines and allow the Republican governor to just appoint the replacements himself?
In early August 2018, Republicans in the legislature finally got around to passing 14 articles of impeachment against all four remaining justices, and the full House convened the day before that Aug. 14 deadline to consider the matter.
Lawmakers approved 11 of the articles (mostly along party lines), but a trial still had to be conducted by the (also GOP-controlled) state Senate.
So by waiting until August to start proceedings, Republican lawmakers essentially guaranteed that the impeachment process couldn't wrap up in time to let voters select replacement justices.
And if the state Senate had voted to remove the remaining three justices, replacement GOP appointees would have served two years on the bench before facing voters.
Remember, prior to this entire debacle, Democrats held a three-to-two majority on the Supreme Court.
But just in case you think this is anything but a brazen Republican attempt to usurp an entire branch of government through GOP appointments, consider this:
A Democratic member of the House attempted to initiate impeachment proceedings in February of 2018—which would have left plenty of time to resolve the matter and place judicial candidates on the ballot that fall.
GOP leadership refused, calling the move "a political stunt."
And why entertain timely steps to remove allegedly corrupt justices when you can slow your roll and execute a Supreme Court coup instead?
Anyway, in a surprise move on the morning of Aug. 14, 2018, Democratic Justice Robin Davis announced her resignation just in time to trigger a special election to replace her in November.
The crucial timing of her maneuver helped mitigate—but not obviate—Republican lawmakers' scheme to fill the entire court with GOP appointees.
The drama continued for months.
Then-justices Margaret Workman and Allen Loughry and current Justice Beth Walker underwent impeachment trials in the state Senate.
Loughry resigned in November 2018, after he was found guilty on some of those 54 charges mentioned above.
Justice Walker, a Republican, was acquitted but censured by the Senate.
Workman, a Democrat, filed a lawsuit in October seeking to halt the proceedings.
Because it's obviously pretty messed up for state Supreme Court justices to rule on a case impacting their own ability to remain on the bench, five district court judges were temporarily elevated to hear the case.
They ruled 5-0 that the House had erred in its adoption of the resolution of impeachment and, in doing so, had essentially run afoul of the whole separation-of-powers thing.
The GOP-run Senate tried to continue the Democrat's impeachment trial anyway, but the justice presiding over the affair didn't show (the court ruling effectively prohibited him from participating).
None of the other justices stood trial.
And Republicans in the legislature have been salty about it ever since.
Okay, finally, back to that pesky tab.
The article that piqued my interest enough to preserve it in tab form is about an amendment to the state's constitution proposed by the GOP-controlled legislature.
House Joint Resolution 2 specifically prohibits any West Virginia court from intervening in any impeachment proceedings conducted by the legislature.
Despite the fact that there are some pretty obvious separation-of-powers issues inherent in such a proposal, the proposed amendment passed the House and is waiting on Senate action.
If the state Senate passes it with a two-thirds majority before the legislature adjourns on April 10, West Virginia voters will vote on it in the November 2022 election.
In a nutshell, because Republicans in the state House got sloppy in their fervor to game the impeachment of Supreme Court justices to benefit their own party (remember, the court was 3-2 Democratic when this got underway), they want to permanently usurp the power of a whole branch of government.
Something to remember when the GOP screams about Democratic efforts to expand federal courts, which, by the by, is extremely legal and would very much not require an amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
… as I found out in my next open tab, the YouTube page with this week's episode of Daily Kos' The Brief, for which I was a surprise guest co-host on my first day back from vacation.
But it was fun, and I learned things, and because I'm me, I managed to find a state legislative angle on D.C. statehood.
Which conveniently brings me to my next tab, which is an article about various legislatures debating the merits of (and passing resolutions for and against) Washington, D.C., becoming an actual state.
Which, by the by, it should.
To help raise awareness, improve understanding, and build support for statehood, organizers have encouraged lawmakers across the country to introduce resolutions in their legislatures encouraging Congress to make D.C. a state.
Republicans, who can't see past their horror at the likelihood of two additional Democratic members of the U.S. Senate to consider the underlying issues of basic fairness and democracy and taxation without representation and racial equity and self-determination, are pushing their own anti-statehood resolutions in various legislatures.
The first legislative push against statehood reportedly came from South Dakota (a state with a population that only barely exceeds D.C.'s), where the resolution's sponsor cited fear that two D.C. senators would "dilute" his state's power in the chamber.
Meanwhile, in a hearing on Arizona's anti-statehood resolution, GOP Rep. Kevin Payne had words for residents of the District who want a voice in Congress:
If they want representatives, move. That's what they made Mayflower for.
As of last month, Democrats in six states had introduced pro-statehood resolutions.
Of course, none of these resolutions for or against making Washington, D.C., a state have any sort of force of law.
But the fact that they're being considered at all is quite new, and it speaks to the sudden salience of the issue.
Okay, next tab …
The GOP-controlled Arkansas legislature has passed (and the governor has signed into law) a near-total ban on abortion in the state.
The law permits abortions only to save the life of the mother.
There are no exceptions for fetuses conceived via rape or incest.
And next tab … oh hey it's another Arkansas story.
A sitting Arkansas state senator has left the Republican Party over its continued fealty to former President Trump.
Now-independent Sen. Jim Hendren, who was particularly horrified at the Trump-promoted violence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, is the nephew of current Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson, which is a nice touch here.
Conveniently, my next tab is story that dropped this week about the growing hold of right-wing extremism in state legislatures.
It's certainly not the first piece on the topic. And it does a nice job of covering familiar (to you, as an erudite consumer of this missive) legislative leaders who have become standard bearers of Trump-flavored Republicanism.
Like our old pal, Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey.
You remember, the Mike Shirkey initially feigned outrage at the Capitol violence on Jan. 6 and then privately met with one of the organizers of the earlier, practice riot at the Michigan capitol to discuss the poor "optics" of the situation.
The Mike Shirkey who publicly cozied up with members of violent militias and spoke at one of their rallies.
The Mike Shirkey who was caught on video claiming that the Capitol riot was a "hoax" staged to make Trump supporters look bad.
The Mike Shirkey who's arguably the most powerful Republican in Michigan.
But of course, he's far from alone.
We can't forget Arizona state Rep. Mark Finchem.
You remember, Mark Finchem, the staunch Trump ally and one of the most outspoken Republican state representatives pushing for the legislature to overturn the election results and hand the state's electors to Trump.
The Mark Finchem who was apparently paid over $6,000 for his trouble ("legal consulting" lol).
The Mark Finchem who was also one of the participants in the violent events in DC on Jan. 6.
He denies sacking the actual Capitol, but he did post a photo of the crowd in the process of invading the building on the Capitol steps.
Finchem has previously also claimed to be a member of the Oath Keepers, a right-wing extremist militia group.
Finchem actually had 82 ethics complaints lodged against him over his comments and actions related to the election and the insurrection.
But because Finchem is far from alone in his Trump-flavored extremism, the Arizona House Ethics Committee (which is made up of three Republicans and two Democrats) cleared him of all complaints in February.
The Republican chairing the committee decided that all the complaints simply amount to "an objection to Representative Finchem's advocacy of controversial political opinions."
Anyway, all this is to say that GOP lawmakers' extremism might once have been brushed off as a fringe-y distraction with few material consequences, but we can't afford to take this with anything but grave seriousness now. The Trump wing of the Republican Party holds real power in statehouses.
But not only does their rise to power poses an existential threat in statehouses across the country; the upcoming round of redistricting could cement—even expand—that power for the rest of the decade.
[[shudder]]
Welp, I didn't clear out all those unused tabs, but I made progress! There's a little breathing room in my browser window.
I'll take my wins where I can get them, and you should, too. Maybe knock off early, call it a week, spend some time closing some of your, ah, spiritual browser tabs.
Just print this out and show it to your boss, she probably has more tabs open than I do.

Crush-resistant, bi-level carpet matting brings wet, dirty floors to a screeching halt. Dual-fiber carpet dries quickly and resists staining and fading for durability. Double border traps dirt and moisture on the mat. Molded rubber base provides heft and durability. With each 15 square feet of squares matting made, one scrap tire and thirteen plastic bottles are saved from entering landfills.

Founded in 1939, Duralex has been manufacturing glassware and tabletop products in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin, a city in the heart of France. Since 1939, when Duralex invented the glass tempering process, the name Duralex has been associated with resilient glassware, thanks to their proprietary tempering process. The original tempered (toughened) Picardie glasses are still in production in France and are known as the "Original French Tumblers." The Picardie glass is the perfect weight: functional yet stylish and feels extremely comfortable in the hand. They are equally suitable for cold or hot drinks, conveniently stackable, impact and chip resistant, microwave and dishwasher safe. With the help of continuous investments and commitment to quality, Duralex has reached a level of excellence that makes its products recognized throughout the world. Duralex is and will always remain a true French manufacturer of glassware and tabletop products, and is the only glass manufacturer that makes 100% of their products in France.


In light of the intertwining logics of military competition and economic interdependence at play in US-China relations, this book examines how the United States has balanced its potentially conflicting national security and economic interests in its relationship with the People's Republic of China (PRC). To do so, it investigates a strategically sensitive yet under-explored facet of US-China relations, the making of American export control policy on defense-related technology to China since 1979. On the basis of 199 interviews, declassified documents, and diplomatic cables leaked by Wikileaks, two major findings emerge from this book. First, the hopelessness, in the post-Cold War era, of a US strategy of military/technology containment of China in the same way it did with the Soviet Union during the Cold War because of the erosion of its capacity to restrict the transfer of defense-related technology to the PRC. Secondly, a growing number of actors in Washington has reassessed the nexus between national security and economic interests at stake in the US-China relationship – by moving beyond the Cold War trade-off between the two – in order to maintain American military preeminence vis-à-vis its strategic rivals. By focusing on how states manage the heterogeneous and potentially competing security and economic interests at stake in a bilateral relationship, this book seeks to shed light on the evolving character of interstate rivalry in a globalized economy, where rivals in the military realm are also economically interdependent.


Skin-on-frame boats evolved from baskets. Coracles -- round, basket-like crafts -- are still in use in Wales for salmon fishing; Irishmen still row their Currachs off their wild west coast, and native people of the arctic still fish from kayaks and umiaks. Yet these boats also appear in a variety of modern forms -- from tough whitewater, aluminum-framed take-down boats, to wood-framed, nylon skinned baidarkas. In this course you will build and take home your own ultra-light double paddle canoe. These boats are perfect for flat water paddling, and they are light enough to easily car-top or carry from car to water or from pond to pond. Over the course of the week, we'll steam and install ribs, lash the stringers (longitudinal pieces) to the ribs, install the inwales and complete the frame, skin the boat with a tough polyester cloth, waterproof the skin, and christen the boats in the pond. Students will build a 13 1/2 foot canoe rigged for both solo and tandem use. It will weigh only about 27 pounds.
This course is best suited for two people working on one boat; the second student working on the same boat will receive discounted tuition at $550 (or $500 early bird pricing if signing up at least 6 weeks before class starts). You are welcome to sign up as an individual; although, we do encourage you to invite someone to join. Please email [email protected] to sign up as a pair.
If you are signing up as an individual and would welcome an assistant, let us know! We may be able to pair you with a student who is interested in learning the skill and does not want/need a boat of their own. If you're interested in signing up as an assistant (i.e. helping someone else build their boat), let us know! Assistants are eligible for the discounted tuition rate of $550 (or $500 early bird).
Meaghan Vigeant, a alum of the 2017 course, shared her experiences with Maine Boats, Homes and Harbors Magazine. You can read the article here.
"I liked how the course was set up to give you as much or as little assistance needed to construct the canoe. Those who had background experience with tools and building things were able to go off and do their own thing, while beginners like myself received the proper amount of guidance to go and build."

Q: Multiple Switch.setTextOn() not updating switch's text I have two Switchs buttons in my android Activity.
Both have custom dynamic On/Off texts (that are set at runtime with Switch.setTextOn(CharSeq) ).
They look like this (image found on another SO thread):

The first switch's on/off texts are set once.
My goal is to dynamically modify the on/off texts of the second switch, when the state of the first switch changed.
So I set up a OnCheckedChangeListener on the first switch like this:
 switch2.setTextOff("ImOff");  // works, the text is updated on the switch

 switch2.setTextOn("ImOn"); // same here

 switch1.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new CompoundButton.OnCheckedChangeListener() {
            public void onCheckedChanged(CompoundButton buttonView, boolean isChecked) {
                if(!isChecked)
                {
                   switch2.setTextOff(myStrings.get(2));
                   switch2.setTextOn(myStrings.get(3));  // here switch2.getTextOn() returns the value of myStrings.get(3), but the widget still displays ImOn...
                } else
                {
                   switch2.setTextOff(myStrings.get(4));
                   switch2.setTextOn(myStrings.get(5)); // here switch2.getTextOn() returns the value of myStrings.get(5), but the widget still displays ImOn...
                }
                // I tried to update the switch with this and this
                switch2.invalidate();
                switch2.setChecked(valuesSwitch.isChecked());
            }
        });

But this code doesn't work, the on/off texts of the second switch are set on the object (getTextOn/Off returns the right text), but widget still displays the initial text ImOn/ImOff ...
Any ideas? Thanks.

A: I found a solution in this link,

In a derived class (Which extends switch),  override the Following method:
Override
public void request layout () {
    try {

        mOnLayout.setAccessible (true);

        java.lang.reflect.Field mOffLayout = Switch.class.getDeclaredField ( "mOffLayout");
        mOffLayout.setAccessible (true) ;
        mOffLayout.set (this, null);
    } Catch (Exception ex) {

Have you ever accidentally left your front door ajar and had a pet escape? BlackCow at Homebrew Tech came up with a simple solution to this problem. The circuit is fairly rudimentary but a great example of using the basics to get the job done. Now, instead of having an alarm that sounds as soon as the door is open, he has a 30 second delay. This helps avoid the "boy who cried wolf" effect also known as the "vista security warning" effect of being bothered too many times for a non issue. We also have to say that we like his taste in blog layouts.

Report: High school dismissed warning signs before shooting
Published 7:58 am CST, Monday, January 18, 2016
DENVER (AP) — Administrators at a suburban Denver high school dismissed increasingly obvious warning signs that a troubled student was a threat before he killed a classmate and himself two years ago, a report released Monday shows.
Arapahoe High School staff poorly gauged the rising threat Karl Pierson, 18, posed months before he stormed the school with a shotgun, a machete and homemade bombs and shot Claire Davis, 17, in December 2013, according to the 141-page report by the University of Colorado's Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence.
The shooting might have been prevented if school staff had kept detailed and more widely accessible records documenting concerns over Pierson, the report says. Administrators also failed to thoroughly investigate threats he made.
Davis' parents sought the study as part of an agreement that they would not sue the school district in exchange for information about the shooting. Michael and Desiree Davis have long believed the school missed Pierson's repeated red flags, and successfully pushed for legislation to allow lawsuits against Colorado schools when there are shootings or other violence.
"The angry young man that murdered our daughter was a student in crisis who desperately needed guidance in a different direction from the one he pursued," the Davises wrote in a message included in the report. "The lesson to learn is not that our schools should be less tolerant and more punitive, rather that our schools are now, as never before, in a unique position to identify and secure help for troubled students."
Authorities have said Pierson held a grudge against his debate coach and was targeting him. He first shot Davis, who was was with a friend in a hallway, before taking his own life in the school library as security officers closed in on him. The coach, Tracy Murphy, escaped unharmed.
Brian Ewert, who became Littleton Public Schools superintendent last year, said he agreed with the study's findings, and administrators will "learn from the missed opportunities we had to disrupt Karl Pierson's path to violence."
"There were warning signs, each in isolation and to some degree disconnected," Ewert wrote in an email to The Associated Press. "The challenge was connecting the many isolated incidents into a significant threat; the district and the school failed to connect the dots." No single teacher or administrator had a complete record of Pierson's problems throughout high school.
School officials deemed Pierson not a danger after a staffer overheard him in a school parking lot threatening to kill Murphy on Sept. 3, which left Murphy so fearful he considered resigning. Pierson was not suspended and was allowed to return to class less than a week later.
The assistant principal who assessed Pierson was never trained in the district's threat-assessment protocol, nor was the principal and most of the staff, the study concluded. Administrators then failed to meaningfully follow-up with Pierson or create a support and safety plan that might have thwarted his violence, the report says.
The report points to more than a dozen other failures by school officials, including the decision not to take action after Pierson had a startling outburst in his Spanish class just two days before the shooting. After a student locked him out, he pounded on a locked classroom door so hard that teachers in other classrooms could hear him.
Officials never searched Pierson's backpack, locker, journals or computer, which later revealed his extensive planning.
The school district has already made some changes, Ewert said. Among dozens of recommendations, the study says the district should promote an environment where staff feel free to report concerns and mistakes without fear of punishment.

Flat feet or Pes Planus medically means no arches or very low arches in the feet.
Normally, there is a gap beneath the inner part of the foot when a person stands, as the arch rises off the ground slightly.
The arches provide a spring to the step and help to distribute body weight across the feet and legs. When a person with flat feet stands, then there arches touch the ground. Their feet may roll to the inner side when they are standing and walking. This is known as over pronation, and it may also cause the feet to point outward.
People are more likely to develop flat feet if they have obesity or diabetes. Flat feet are also more common during pregnancy. Flat feet can develop with age too.
.Other parts of the body that can be affected are knee, calf, hip, lower back & lower legs.· Flat feet can also cause an uneven distribution of body weight. This may result in shoes wearing down unevenly or more quickly than usual, especially on one side, which can lead to further injuries.
Causes:There can be various causes for flat feet.
· Genetics- Genetic factor is the most common cause as flat feet can pass from parents to kids.
Children & infants may also appear to have flat feet. The arches should develop normally with time. However, if a child has flat feet as a result of incorrect bone development, a doctor will often need to treat the underlying cause.
Clinical examination and a detailed history allow diagnosis. X-rays help to evaluate the extent of the deformity and any arthritis within the joint.
A detailed gait analysis can help to diagnose the contributing factors to the flat foot.
· By wearing correct size footwear.
· Exercises to keep muscles strong & flexible.
· To advice appropriate shoes.
· Consider prescribing a custom made ankle foot Orthotics.
· Arch Exercises: Resistive 4 movements of ankle joint using a Thera band.
· Toe Curls: Place a small size towel under one foot & try to grip it with the toes. Should be done slowly.
· Ball Rolling (Plantar Fascia Muscles Release): Take a firm ball, can be a Cosco or a Golf ball. Place it under the foot & roll it slowly covering whole length of the foot.
· Heel Raise: Place the ball of the foot on staircase or a flat surface & with support try to raise the heels without moving the ball of the foot area.
· Calf Stretch: Sit on a chair with your back supported. Straighten one leg & pull the ankle.
· Plantar Fascia Stretch: Stand in front of a wall. Extend your toes against the wall and try to bring your knee towards the wall until you feel a gentle stretch under the foot.

It's Christmastime at the Ranch!
YOU can make this Christmas merry and bright for our Ranchers! The end of the year is an expensive time to raise a child, especially when you raise as many as we do at the Ranches. We ask that you consider making a special year-end gift to help meet our needs during the Christmas season.
Here are some ways YOU can help this Christmas!
You can sponsor a child by "adopting" one of our Ranchers this Christmas. See the wish lists at the bottom of the page. Simply pick a child and shop for the items on their list. You can drop the items off at our Batesville campus, or even have them shipped to our address at 100 Saint Vincent Place, Batesville, AR 72501.
Make a special honor or memorial gift. You can send a Christmas greeting to that person on your list who has everything via email or provide their address, and the Ranch will mail them a Christmas card acknowledging your gift! Click here to make an honor or memorial gift online.
Buy a family gift for one of our cottages. We can always use new board games, new video games, and new books for all ages! Shop online, and have it shipped to the Ranch at 100 Saint Vincent Place, Batesville, AR 72501.

Due to the high value of homes in California, agents are disproportionately paid for the easy task of selling a fixer-upper to a cash buyer in San Diego. Let us pay you cash and elminate those fees to your botton end.
"… I sold my home. Really, really good guy. Gave me plenty of time to get out. Gave my elderly family to get out. And, he's totally awesome.
He's totally the best guy in the world you gotta deal with. And the next home that I buy, I would definitely be calling him.
I really enjoyed working with Tim. He communicated well, acted professionally and did what he said he'd do. I'd love to do more business with Mr. Gordon.
Our focus is on straightforward transaction that eliminates all of the "noise" associated with selling a home.
