Cost of online shopping for goods over £135 to increase in Jersey

Buying online will cost more for people in Jersey from this October after the government decided to add GST to purchases over £135.
At the moment, everything costing less than £240 is exempt from the 5% charge.
It means, for example, a £150 purchase will cost £7.50 more.
The Treasury has confirmed it is lowering the threshold for the tax from 1 October to encourage people to shop locally.
The Treasury originally announced the change to the 'de minimis' GST threshold would come into force in July. However, it was then deferred until January 2021 to help islanders who were reliant on home deliveries during the lockdown.
But the island's Treasury Minister, Deputy Susie Pinel, says the decision to bring it forward will allow local businesses to compete on as more level playing field with off-island retailers.
As we are opening up the local economy, bringing down the "de minimis" level will enable on-Island business to compete more fairly with off-Island retailers, supporting our local economy.
Deputy Susie Pinel, Jersey's Treasury and Resources Minister
The move has also been welcomed by Jersey Chamber of Commerce's CEO.
Making the change from 1 October will afford local retailers the best opportunity of securing a good quarter's sales in the run up to Christmas. Jersey Chamber of Commerce urges all islanders to support local retailers as much as they can in these unprecedented times.
Murray Norton, Chief Executive Officer of Jersey Chamber of Commerce

Successful incorporation of a genetic risk prediction research platform into routine newborn screening
Bendor-Samuel OM., Wishlade T., Willis L., Aley P., Choi E., Craik R., Mujadidi Y., Mounce G., Roseman F., De La Horra Gozalo A., Bland J., Taj N., Smith I., Ziegler A-G., Bonifacio E., Winkler C., Haupt F., Todd JA., Servais L., Snape MD., Vatish M.
ABSTRACTAn increasing number of diseases can be offered treatments that are transformative if administered in a timely manner. However, many of these diseases are currently not included in the newborn screening programs because they lack sensitive and specific metabolic biomarkers, and detection of children at increased risk relies on genetic methods. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) constitutes a potential example of such disease.Between April 2018 and November 2020, over 15500 babies were enrolled into 'INGR1D' (Investigating Genetic Risk for T1D), a research study to identify newborns with an increased genetic risk of T1D. This project, performed as part of a T1D primary prevention study (the Primary Oral Insulin Trial, POInT), has helped to pioneer the integration of genetic screening into the NHS Newborn Blood Spot Screening Programme (NBSSP) for consenting mothers, without affecting the screening pathway. The use of prospective consent to perform personalised genetic testing on samples obtained through the routine NBSSP represents a novel mechanism for clinical genetic research in the UK and provides a model for further population based genetic studies in the newborn.This project builds on the UK's role as a world leader in genomic medicine, e.g. through its inception and completion of the 100 000 Genomes Project, and its subsequent ambition to map 5 million further genomes over the next 5 years.Our aim is therefore to describe the methodology used by INGR1D as a way to demonstrate how a successful research and clinical trial tool can be integrated into a national screening programme, with the potential for the tool to be developed to incorporate multiple diseases with genetic markers without altering the screening pathway.

Pseudorhabdosynochus pai is a diplectanid monogenean parasitic on the gills of the greasy grouper, Epinephelus tauvina. It was described in 2009.

Description
Pseudorhabdosynochus pai is a small monogenean, 0.3-0.7 mm in length. The species has the general characteristics of other species of Pseudorhabdosynochus, with a flat body and a posterior haptor, which is the organ by which the monogenean attaches itself to the gill of is host. The haptor bears two squamodiscs, one ventral and one dorsal.

The sclerotized male copulatory organ, or "quadriloculate organ", has the shape of a bean with four internal chambers, as in other species of Pseudorhabdosynochus but Pseudorhabdosynochus pai is characterised by an extremely developed male quadriloculate organ: its total length is 140 µm and thus the species appears to have the largest quadriloculate organ of all species in the genus. The vagina includes a sclerotized part, which is a complex structure.

Etymology
The authors indicated that Pai is a legendary (male) hero of Moorea.

Hosts and localities

The type-locality is off Moorea, French Polynesia. The type-host is the greasy grouper, Epinephelus tauvina.

Senate Cannabis Workshop Full Of Questions, Light On Answers
Published March 22, 2017 at 5:46 PM EDT
DXR via wikimedia commons
Senators spent Wednesday afternoon kicking the tires on a medical marijuana proposal backed by Fleming Island Republican Rob Bradley.
At this point, medical cannabis isn't a new issue in the Florida Legislature. Republican lawmakers have brought forward proposals in each session since the state approved low-THC marijuana in 2014—Democrats have been introducing measures even longer. Still the state Senate is handling the issue with kid gloves. Few ideas have proven more divisive, and the differing perspectives can be seen in the number of proposals competing within the chamber.
At the outset of Wednesday's meeting of the Senate Health Policy committee, Chair Dana Young (R-Tampa) rattled off the five different bills. The staff created a 17 page, color-coded spreadsheet—with a column for each of the bills and rows for policy positions.
What's a debilitating condition? How can the drug be consumed? Do minors have access?
Each one a potential landmine.
The hearing focused particularly on the measure backed by Sen. Rob Bradley (R-Fleming Island) with Young filling in comparisons to the other proposals.
Bradley's idea is one of the more conservative proposals—maintaining much of the current framework for growing, distributing and selling marijuana.
"So where do we go from here?" Bradley asked, "We need to build on the foundation that has been laid, learn from the mistakes we've made—which there are mistakes—and build on our successes. Which although it doesn't get reported a lot, there are successes."
Meanwhile, Sen. Jeff Brandes (R-St. Petersburg) wants to abandon that system and establish a more free-market model. The authors of Amendment Two are backing that proposal. But Bradley argues marijuana is medicine and it needs to be treated differently.
"Senators this is not the selling of lawn mowers or office supplies," Bradley says. "In those cases there should be free markets free from government oversight."
Young believes each proposal offers interesting ideas, and she's aiming to braid them together before the measure passes through her committee. But that means settling a number of significant questions.
Some of them, like a 90 day patient-doctor relationship, are easy.
"I think it's worth noting here that all of the bills do away, I believe all of them, do away with the three month waiting period that's in existing law," Young says—a major bone of contention at the last cannabis hearing.
Some, like the number of eligible growers, vary widely. But Bradley is ready to amend his original proposal.
"You know I do believe that [SB]406 is too restrictive," Bradley says of his own bill, "based on the feedback I've received from many of colleagues in terms of the number of licenses and the competition that would need to be created."
Others are relatively new—Sen. Lizbeth Benacquisto (R-Fort Meyers) raises the question of long term visitors.
"How would we deal with that?" She asks. "Because I know I'm not the only district in the state that has a snowbird population who might get ill while they're in town."
Senators raised a number of other significant questions as well, but answers will have to wait. The committee held no vote, and whatever changes they agree on will likely be discussed at the next hearing.

An armed suspect who was killed at the end of a standoff at a Chris & Pitts restaurant in Downey was identified Friday.
DOWNEY, Calif. -- Several people who were held hostage by an armed carjacking suspect at a Chris & Pitts restaurant in Downey are speaking out.
The suspect, identified as 41-year-old Eddie Tapia, led authorities on a wild chase Thursday night that came to an end when officers performed a PIT maneuver near Lakewood Boulevard and Gallatin Road.
But that didn't stop the suspect. He fired shots into the air as he bailed on foot and ran inside Chris & Pitts restaurant, where dozens of people were dining.
"We could hear screams, children screaming," said Oscar Madriles.
Madriles was just finishing dinner when the suspect barged in.
"He was very willing to let people out, but he was focused on keeping people in because he wanted some type of leverage," he said. "He kept asking people for advice, like 'What do I do? What do I do?' But once anyone tried to talk to him or tried to even talk him out of what was going on, he just said, 'Don't talk to me.'"
Natalii Reyes was celebrating her ninth birthday and had just blown out the candles on the birthday cake.
"They said, 'Everybody with kids, go,'" she said.
The suspect held at least four people hostage for about an hour.
Hostages say the suspect repeatedly told them he didn't want to hurt anyone. But he also said he'd use his weapon if he had to.
"It made me feel like I had no control," said witness Madeline Bastidas. "I think that's what scared me the most."
Deputies say they saw him through a window waving a gun and acting erratically. He was shot once, and then the SWAT team moved in.
"If they didn't shoot the suspect, someone else is going to die," said Cmdr. Mike Park of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
A flash-bang grenade was thrown inside the restaurant, and the SWAT team stormed in. Though the suspect had been shot, he allegedly crawled on the ground and reached for his weapon. Shots were fired again, and the suspect was killed.
"We just feel blessed really because we feel God touched his heart," said Maggie Palacios. He kept saying sorry, so he was apologizing. He says, 'I have kids at home.'"
Witnesses say the suspect was asking for drugs or medication. Deputies have not said whether they believe the suspect was under the influence at the time.
Records show Tapia has prior convictions for grand theft, driving without a license, evading a police officer and drugs.


The No. 3 ranked Texas Longhorns will look to make their case as the best team in the country when they host the Oklahoma State Cowboys on Wednesday night. Texas has been unstoppable since the Big Ten season got underway, with a perfect 10 conference wins to show so far, and will look to extend the dream of an unbeaten Big Ten season without another ranked opponent left on their schedule.
The Cowboys had a string of back-to-back wins snapped by Nebraska their last time out, and now it will be hard to prevent consecutive losses. This game marks the beginning of a stretch of three straight games against ranked opponents for Oklahoma State, as the toughest portion of their schedule commences with just six games to play.
The Cowboys would like to get back to .500 in Big Ten play before the season is through, but that will be a tough task considering that it means they will have to beat at least one ranked opponent. Oklahoma State held the Longhorns to their lowest point total of the season when these teams met earlier in the year, but since then have split four games and watched their road losing streak grow to six games. The Cowboys have relied far too heavily on leading scorer Marshall Moses, who has averaged 14.9 points per game this season but scored 18 in the loss to Nebraska on Saturday night.
The Longhorns don't want to leave anything to sports online betting chance in regards to their pursuit of a national title, and they know that a perfect Big Ten season would be the perfect route to No. 1. After what happened last season, Texas players have said they might actually prefer to stay below the top spot, in order to avoid the jinx that has plagued so many No. 1's in the past. Jordan Hamilton has paced the Longhorns with a team-high 18.9 points per game and 7.6 rebounds, leading Texas to its best start to league play since going 13-0 in the Southwest conference back in 1962-63. A tough defense and offense that always seems to come through in the clutch have been the Longhorns' signature all year, and that will need to continue Wednesday night to avoid any chance at an upset.
There is no reason to think that Texas' Big Ten run will come to an end anytime soon, but then again, the same thing was said about Duke, Ohio State, and Kansas this season and they all lost in that following game. The Longhorns have a relatively easy road to an undefeated Big Ten season, one that will come down to execution.


The Proms is meant to bring us the best classical music – so why does the BBC try to sell it as something else?
Every year at about this time, the forthcoming Proms season is launched. A shiny press pack is sent off to every arts journalist, packed with impressive facts and figures; how many foreign orchestras, how many premieres, how many different kinds of music being celebrated in addition to classical music. It tells us about the many little-known pieces being dragged out of obscurity, the legions of distinguished soloists, the ways the season will be focusing on youth, or age, or people with disabilities. We will be reminded of the many ways the Proms goes beyond the Royal Albert Hall, by venturing to other venues – even beyond London – and in terms of broadcasts on BBC Radio 3 and BBC TV.

Srinagar: In its concerted effort to improve patient care, director SKIMS, Ex-officio Secretary to the government, Dr Omar Javed Shah on Thursday opens thirty rooms for patients on nominal charges.
The spokesman said Director SKIMS thanked the government for providing this facility for poor and needy patients. The new Sarai has a capacity of thirty rooms and other required facilities which will provide relief to the patients from far-flung and difficult areas who face a lot of inconvenience due to non-availability of accommodation.
The patients will be charged rupees 100 per day and can avail accommodation for minimum 10-15 days.
He directed all concerned to ensure proper utilization of space and maintain proper hygiene and cleanliness to make poor patients comfortable. He also made an appeal to civil society and other big business houses to come forward to support through their donations and contributions.
The function was attended by senior faculty members and other officials of departments.

The "Adobe Mouse": half price, now does Windows
Earlier this year Logitech announced the NuLOOQ Navigator (crazy name, cool device), a button/dial combo that's designed to sit in your non-dominant hand (i.e. the one you aren't mousing/drawing with) and provide quick access to tools, zooming, panning, and more. There are some brief video overviews on the product site, showing how you can bring up a little on-screen tool dial that's context-aware (displaying options relevant to the app & tool you're using at the moment).
Now they've made the product much more affordable (chopping the price to $79.99) and made the product compatible with Windows while adding support for a number of additional apps (iTunes, iMovie, etc.). These moves make the device much more of an impulse buy, and I hope it sells like hotcakes (er, Krispy Kremes, or Tickle Me Senseless Elmo, or whatever people are buying like mad these days).

I used to sometimes feel invisible when I was deep in my own suicidal despair. Now, although enjoying a robust 'recovery', I find that my current research into suicide often renders me invisible again. More precisely, the various languages of suicide – in the academic literature, in public health policy documents and in conferences like this one – speak of my experience as some sort of exhibit in a glass jar to be pointed at. The language of science, objective and rational, struggles to capture the dark mystery of suicide and our understanding of it suffers accordingly. The language of direct, first-hand experience – intimately personal and subjective, sometimes irrational and paradoxical, often poetic and spiritual, and possibly frightening to some – must be included in our discourse to empower others to speak up and to dismantle the ignorance and stigma around suicide. This paper (and my current research) looks at the language of spirituality to deepen our understanding of the suicidal crisis.
Spirituality remains the primary motivation for my work. But in the years since this abstract was written, two other significant influences have emerged in my research – and in my life – that were not anticipated when I was framing my research proposal. The first is an intellectual tradition that I was unaware of at the time, although it has a history of more than a hundred years. This is the school of philosophy known as phenomenology. The second is only at an embryonic stage as an academic discourse, although it already has a proud history of challenging our thinking. This is the social change, human rights movement that is becoming known as Mad Culture.
Mad Culture is the expression of a community of people, from all around the world, who have experienced what is often called 'madness'. Although madness is usually a pejorative term, Mad Culture reclaims the language of madness to give voice to the subjective experience of it as it is lived and in our own words. Following a tradition of other social change, human rights movements such as civil rights for coloured and indigenous people, feminism, Gay Pride and various disability movements, Mad Culture asserts the legitimacy of madness, with its own distinct voice, as part of the diversity of what it is to be human. Like these other movements, Mad Culture has its pioneers and champions, with a history and literature. Despite this, and unlike these other social movements, Mad Culture is only just beginning to develop an academic discourse as a vibrant and necessary part of an emerging culture that will no longer remain invisible and silent. Although the history, sociology and politics of Mad Culture are not explicit topics of this thesis, it has emerged during the research as a major influence, inspiration and context for the work. Originally my research was addressed to and located within the academic and professional discipline of suicidology. But it became apparent that suicidology does not welcome the first-person voice of those who have lived suicidal thoughts and feelings, so it is not a discipline in which I feel at all at home. It pleases me to be able to say at the conclusion of this research that I feel some pride – Mad Pride – to be able to locate this work within the emerging academic discourse of Mad Culture.
a role for spirituality in understanding the suicidal crisis of the self.
The first of the papers presented here, Phenomenology of Suicidality, is the most recent. It is presented first because in many ways it represents the culmination of the research and provides a framework for this exegesis. It also locates the entire thesis, bothThinking About Suicide and this exegesis, within the established academic tradition of phenomenology. The decision to locate the research within this discipline, rather than in suicidology, is a deliberate and significant decision. Phenomenology recognises the validity and importance of the first-person data of subjective lived experience, a perspective that also lies at the heart of Mad Culture. Suicidology does not. The second paper of this exegesis, Anthropology of Suicidology, describes how the culture of suicidology works to exclude the first-person voice. At best, suicidology fails to attend to the first-person data because its current methods of enquiry are inadequate for the task, a problem that Phenomenology of Suicidality addresses. At worst, suicidology denies and excludes the first-person voice because of an ideological prejudice against first-person data and knowledge as valid scientific data and knowledge – that is, first-person research such as this thesis is not seen as 'real' research. This makes suicidology an uncomfortable, inhospitable and at times even a hostile 'home' for my research, so that it has regrettably become necessary to speak to suicidology from outside, rather than from within, the discipline. Phenomenology and Mad Culture, which both respect the first-person voice, offer an academic framework and discipline capable of accommodating my research and from which it can speak freely to suicidology.
Although in some ways the absence of spirituality from suicidology can be seen as a special case of the exclusion of the first-person voice, phenomenology by itself is not sufficient to address this gap in the discipline. Something more is needed. The primary argument of my thesis is that spirituality – spiritual values and needs, spiritual wisdom and spiritual ways of knowing – has a vital contribution to make to our understanding of suicidality as a crisis of the self. But the same prejudices that exclude the first-person voice also exclude spiritual ways of knowing, so the first priority in my thesis is to argue for the validity, importance and methods of working with first-person data and knowledge. Later in the exegesis, and as described in Thinking About Suicide, it is shown that spiritual ways of knowing are not just subjective, first-person ways of knowing. Spirituality takes us beyond merely rational, cognitive ways of knowing, and indeed beyond any mental way of knowing. To accommodate spiritual knowledge, as well as first-person, phenomenological knowledge, a more comprehensive conceptual framework is proposed in the third paper in this exegesis, Integral Suicidology, to address the gaps in suicidology identified by my research.

Rabat — The investment volume of companies for the increase of energy storage capacity is around 2.2 billion dirhams between 2017 and 2021, said, Monday in Rabat, minister of Energy, Mining and Sustainable Development, Aziz Rebbah.
In response to an oral question at the House of Representatives, Rebbah said that companies are today called upon to invest to achieve 60 days of storage, in order to add 60% of their abilities in this area.
The minister noted that 12 companies are currently investing in this sector.
Energy logistics is a significant issue that the government is currently working on, notably because of rising demand, he said, highlighting the easing of procedures in order to promote investment in the field of hydrocarbons.
He also said that the entire system is being revised, by encouraging all actions related to storage, noting that this initiative will have a positive impact on the Moroccan market and guarantee its supply of energy products.

Never Alone is a puzzle-plaformer game, based on folklore from the Inupiaq people of Alaska. The game was made as a partnership between Upper One games, the first indigenous-owned video game developer in the US, and the Cook Inlet Tribal Council, and is specifically designed to not only be a compelling game, but also to share Inupiaq stories and culture with players around the globe.
Never Alone is an absolutely beautiful game. The animation and art style are stunning. I would recommend it for that alone. But as you progress in the story, you also unlock cultural insight videos, short clips that explain, through interviews and the like, elements of the culture seen in the story. Get a weapon in the game? Here, it'll tell you, if you're interested, what the weapon actually is. Meet strange underground-dwelling people? Here are the legends about them. There are short introductions to the Inupiaq belief systems, to some of their cultural objects, to their community, their hunting styles and storytelling traditions and legends about the Northern Lights.
The game itself is about three hours long. You control both a girl, Nuna, and a fox, as they seek the source of a never-ending blizzard that has been plaguing Nuna's village. You can play the game as a local co-op, with one person controlling Nuna and one controlling the fox, and honestly, I think that's a much better experience. Although it's possible to play the game as one player, as I did, some of the puzzles aren't well-optimised for it. Some of the later challenges require switching back and forth between Nuna and the fox under time pressure, and I found myself dying many, many times because of how difficult it was to coordinate both movements by myself. The AI was also occasionally frustratingly inadequate. There's nothing quite like controlling one character and having the other fall idiotically off a platform instead of standing still, or having them move away from where you've placed them, causing the platform the other character was using to disappear. Some of the puzzles also get a little repetitive by the end, but that might have been because of how frustrated I was getting with all these deaths — especially as you see the surviving character mourn the dying one every single time, and seeing that heartbroken fox broke my heart too.
So if you're a gameplay first kind of person, I wouldn't recommend this one. But if you're willing to overlook some flaws in service of an overall story experience, then Never Alone is fantastic, with a lot to teach you, a great story, and absolutely beautiful graphics (and, of course, the fox is adorable).

I think many of us who read a lot of historical fiction hear about Elizabeth Chadwick. Her books are not available to Americans except through imports, which is a shame, and quite strange considering how popular historical fiction is these days. Anyway, usually the one we hear about most is The Greatest Knight, the fictionalized life story of William the Marshal, one of medieval England's most fascinating knights. I saw it at the library and just couldn't resist despite my staggering TBR piles.
As a small child held hostage by King Stephen, William nearly loses his life when his father breaks his agreement with the king and switches allegiances. After all, William is only his fourth son. Stephen, not a strong king nor a hard man, chooses not to kill William and lets him go, but impresses on him the importance of loyalty and honor. At first, an adult William struggles to make himself known, but his extraordinary talent and aforementioned loyalty speak for him and he earns a place in the Plantagenet household, eventually training and serving Henry the Young King, eldest surviving son of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. As his star rises, William's life and fortunes are shaped by this most powerful family.
William the Marshal is a fascinating historical character and I think Elizabeth Chadwick has done him justice here. He certainly stuck with his loyalties in an age where many men switched allegiance to suit themselves; his father is a very good example, as are the sons of Henry II. As such, William truly stands out from the crowd, and he lived an extraordinary life in the shadow of five kings. As a result, in most places Chadwick doesn't need to embellish the history, it's a great tale as the chroniclers tell it. So for the most part, she sticks to it. She adds mainly a mistress, as we can assume that most well off knights had mistresses, and some story continuity, which works fairly well. You can still tell a little bit that she got her start in romance when William develops love interests, but this book is clearly beyond that and stands as a really good work of historical fiction. It isn't the best I've ever read, but it is a worthy read.
I'm definitely looking forward to reading the sequel, The Scarlet Lion, which I conveniently enough have on my bookshelf. I would recommend this to other historical fiction lovers, it is a very solid and compelling work. Buy it on Amazon UK.
I am so glad that you enjoyed this. Elizabeth Chadwick writes books that are consistently good in quality. I think this one is going to be released by Sourcebooks next year so that will make it easier for US readers to get hold of them.
P.S We are linking to you over at Historical Tapestry now.
Elizabeth Chadwick is a favorite author – I've read all of her books. The Greatest Knight and its sequel are two of my favorites, but I loved A Place Beyond Courage, about William Marshall's father, even more.


Breast Augmentation Consultation Fee - How Much Is It?
As you begin scheduling consultations with plastic surgeons for your breast augmentation, you will probably be asked to pay a consultation fee. Some surgeons charge these fees, and others do not.
The fee for an initial consultation for breast augmentation surgery generally falls between $75 and $100. Breast implant surgery consultation fees vary depending on the surgeon, the region of the country, the economy and the season.
Plastic surgery procedures, including breast augmentation, are generally more expensive on the West Coast and in the Northeast as compared to the South and Midwest. Surgeons who are well known may charge higher fees than other surgeons.
Some surgeons run specials on consultations and procedures when things are slow.
Make sure you are clear about the consultation fee before your appointment. Some surgeons will apply the consultation fee toward the cost of a procedure or will waive the fee should you choose to book a surgery. For more information about what to expect during this consultation, read our thorough article on the topic.
Part of the purpose of a consultation is to find out how much the surgery will cost and what is covered by the surgeon's fee and what isn't. Get that information in writing. Make sure to ask about what is not covered, such as any fees for the anesthesiologist or the surgery center. Getting this information in writing will help reduce any confusion at your consultation and will help you compare the breast augmentation cost from surgeon to surgeon.


Talk about seizure and the first idea that will come to mind is an epileptic seizure that involves the entire body. Combine this with drooling, loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions and you'll get a complete picture of tonic-clonic seizure, or grand mal as it was known a few years ago.
Seizure comes in many forms. It may be a period of inactivity or lapse in consciousness, which is called absence seizure, or seizure of a particular area of the body, which is called partial seizure. But the seizure that most of us are familiar with is the one that affects the entire body. This is called tonic-clonic seizure whose symptoms include a brief warning period called aura, ictal stage or occurrence of the seizure itself, and the period when the brain recovers from the episode called post-ictal period.
It could strike anyone at any age and may happen once over a lifetime or repeatedly, in which case it is called epilepsy.
Tonic-clonic seizure is caused by abnormalities in the electrical activities of the brain in different locations. Such abnormalities involve large areas of the brain, often affecting both hemispheres. Because significant areas of the brain are affected, consciousness and motor movement dysfunctions occur.
This type of seizure can be primary or secondary. Primary tonic-clonic seizures start out as electrical discharges in large areas of the brain as a result of a localized injury or inflammation. Secondary seizure, on the other hand, begins in one particular area of the brain and spreads throughout nearby parts. The two sub-types are differentiated by the presence of aura in the secondary tonic-clonic seizure.
The majority of seizures have no identifiable causes, about 70% of all cases. The rest are caused by a number of things that can range from low glucose level of the blood to severe injury to the brain.
- When there is no identifiable cause, the seizure is called idiopathic. This is usually associated with seizures that occur among patients age 5 to 20. Perhaps the best explanation for idiopathic seizure is that it runs in the family. It turns out, patients who have experienced an episode of seizure between this period have family history of epilepsy and seizure.
- Congenital defects as well as neonatal injuries are also associated with elevated risk of experiencing seizure during the early stages of life up to adulthood.
- In about half of all seizure children patients, the main cause is a fever. In this case, the seizure is called febrile seizure which may accompany such conditions as chickenpox, infection, and even simple cold.
- Tonic-clonic seizure across all age brackets may be a result of the disruption of widespread systemic processes such as severe metabolic problems. It can also be a result of abrupt withdrawal from the use of addictive chemical substances like alcohol, recreational drugs, and even some prescription drugs.
- Abnormal formations like tumors and trauma to the brain which ends up in brain injury and brain lesions can also cause the electrical signals in the brain to go awry.
What Are The Two Main Types Of Seizures?

The March 2017ABA Journal's lead article is on managing cyber risk. This informative piece contains startling numbers: One cybersecurity firm estimated that at least 80 of the largest 100 firms by revenue have been hacked since 2011. Crains's Chicago Business reported that last year one foreign hacker alone targeted 46 law firms in the United States, and others elsewhere. The threat is clear and present, so what are lawyers to do about it?
Attorneys have ethical obligations to safeguard client property. There are several interrelated Rules of Professional Conduct that guide New Jersey counsel. First is competence. RPC 1.1. Lawyers are expected to understand the benefits and risks associated with the use of technology. Second is the obligation to preserve a client's confidential information. RPC 1.6. Specifically, RPC 1.6(f) states, "A lawyer shall make reasonable efforts to prevent the inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of, or unauthorized access to, information relating to the representation of a client." RPC 1.15 addresses safeguarding a client's property.
Notably, as the Official Comment to RPC 1.6 states, a lawyer does not violate this rule even if client property is accessed, provided the lawyer made reasonable efforts to prevent access. The comment lists non-exclusive factors to be considered in making the determination whether the lawyer made reasonable efforts. Know them. And know, too, that just because a lawyer may not violate the RPC's if there is a cyber attack, exposure to legal liability for disclosure of sensitive information, such as social security numbers and medical data, is a different analysis all together.
-	Who is in charge of network security?
-	Is there a backup system and disaster recovery plan in place?
-	Are there firewalls and anti-virus software?
-	Is there employee training regarding security issues?
-	Are there policies regarding the creation and automatic updating of passwords?
There is much more to delve into, well beyond the scope of this blog. Suffice it to say that lawyers can expect the ABA to publish a valuable resource later this year. The aforementioned ABA Journal notes that a new edition of its cybersecurity handbook will be published before the annual meeting in August. The manual will have a full chapter on technology, and will address the legal and ethical obligations lawyers have, obligations this post merely touched upon.

Will we have a sad Santa? All Santa really wanted for Xmas was BDO!!!! Santa has $200 set aside right now but will have to spend money elsewhere if the elves can't deliver.
That's a very important phrase.. probably the most important factor " they love money, so doubt they miss that Christmas cash". So true.
What a random comparison LEL... MH is a well-established franchise which has been on the market for years..
I mean there would be what two weeks of ads before a release around what 18th at latest?
Remember the decision isn't just taking by PA, in this case, Microsoft is involved as well.
They would be fools to go 2019. Early Access before Xmas would be smart atleast. If they delay another year might as well cut 30% of expected sales out from holidays. Lots of large releases in 2019. Just not smart to delay.
I believe it will launch 30 days after the beta. it's usually like this.
You'll have to start fresh. Nothing will transfer.
BDX is developed and published by Pearl Abyss and in partnership with Microsoft.

Q: Create certificate for openssl_pkcs7_sign in php Regarding to the documentation on signing emails with pkcs7 in php I have to use a prior generated certificate.
What is the command to exactly generated the necessary files for this example in openssl?
http://www.php.net/manual/it/function.openssl-pkcs7-sign.php
<?php
// the message you want to sign so that recipient can be sure it was you that
// sent it
$data = <<<EOD

You have my authorization to spend $10,000 on dinner expenses.

The CEO
EOD;
// save message to file
$fp = fopen("msg.txt", "w");
fwrite($fp, $data);
fclose($fp);
// encrypt it
if (openssl_pkcs7_sign("msg.txt", "signed.txt", "mycert.pem",
    array("file://mycert.pem", "mypassphrase"),
    array("To" => "joes@example.com", // keyed syntax
          "From: HQ <ceo@example.com>", // indexed syntax
          "Subject" => "Eyes only")
    )) {
    // message signed - send it!
    exec(ini_get("sendmail_path") . " < signed.txt");
}
?>

Thanks in advance for your help.
Edit 1:
$prepend = "file:/";
openssl_pkcs7_sign($prepend . realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . "/text.txt",
$prepend . realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . "/enc.txt",
$prepend . realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . "/selfcert.pem",
array($prepend . realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . "/enc_key.pem", "123456"),
$headers);

I generated the cert file with the command
openssl req -x509 -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout enc_key.pem -out selfcert.pem

Still get the error:
Warning: openssl_pkcs7_sign(): error getting private key in ...
Edit 2: added prepend
Maybe it has something to do with the "preprend"? Im really not sure if the problem is either in the file retrieve or the key itself.

A: Solved it on my own. The problem was retrieving the keys correctly.
So for everyone coming onto that problem:
$prepend = "file://";
openssl_pkcs7_sign(realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . "/text.txt",
        realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . "/enc.txt",
        $prepend . realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) ."/selfcert.pem",
        array($prepend . realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) ."/enc_key.pem", "123456"), $headers);

GM to deploy self-driving vehicles in 2019
PwC accepts first bitcoin payment
Bitcoin surges past $11,000 threshold, only to plunge
Economy Hub: Is Bitcoin a real threat?
The price of bitcoin surged through US$10,000 ($14,600) on Wednesday, adding to its tenfold jump in value this year and fuelling a debate as to whether the virtual currency is gaining mainstream acceptance or is merely a bubble waiting to burst.
But as soon as bitcoin went through US$10,000, it surged past US$11,000, only to plummet from those lofty levels.
The cost of buying one bitcoin as measured by the website Coindesk was hovering around US$9800, and was as low as US$9,300 on Wednesday afternoon. A price of one bitcoin had been roughly US$1000 at the beginning of the year.
The steep rise in the price of bitcoin and other virtual currencies this year has divided the financial community on their merits and whether — or when — the value might come crashing back down.
The CEO of JPMorgan Chase has called bitcoin a "fraud," as it is not based on anything other than software code and is not backed by any monetary authority. Other executives, including International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde, say virtual currencies should not be dismissed and could have useful applications, such as a means of payment in countries with unstable currencies.
Some countries, like China, have tried to stifle bitcoin exchanges. But in a move that gave further credibility to the virtual currency, the US exchange operator CME Group said last month that it plans to open a futures market for the currency before the end of the year, if it can get approval from regulators.
Bitcoin was created about a decade ago as an alternative to government-issued currencies. Transactions allow anonymity, which has made it popular with people who want to keep their financial activity, and their identities, private.
The digital coins are created by so-called "miners", who operate computer farms that verify other users' transactions by solving complex mathematical puzzles. These miners receive bitcoin in exchange. Bitcoin can be converted to cash when deposited into accounts at prices set in online trading.
Whereas virtual currencies were initially used primarily as a method of payment, in recent months they have become a hot investment among speculators. Warwick Business School assistant professor, Daniele Bianchi, says that the price increases are due to rising demand but also to the fact that the supply of bitcoins is kept fixed. There are currently only 21 million that can be mined in total.
Bianchi also noted that trading in bitcoin is becoming more professional and open to the general public. He believes virtual currencies are "here to stay" and expects the price to rise higher still.

Crazy prediction for Bitcoin
"The increasing demand pressure from investors and speculators makes the case for an even further increase in bitcoin prices in the near future," he said. Others are far more sceptical.
Neil Wilson, a senior market analyst at ETX Capital in London, says bitcoin is "following the playbook for a speculative bubble to the letter".
A new market enjoys a boom when professional investors start entering the market. That's followed by euphoria as others rush in to partake in the gains. Wilson says bitcoin could rise a lot further, but says it is merely a question of when, not if, the bubble bursts.
"This sort of thing never, ever lasts," he said.

I have a Vera Plus. I order to reduce down time and try new software updates I would like to buy a second Vera Plus to use as a hot swap backup. My question is it possible to "clone" an existing Vera Plus?
If you wish to have the second VeraPlus as a backup in case anything goes wrong with your main controller, you can simply create a full backup of your current controller and restore it on the new one if needed. However, using both controllers at the same, after you restored the backup from the main is not possible as they would both be primary in this case. Only one controller can be primary on a mesh network.
Hot swapping and hot plugging are terms used to describe the functions of replacing computer system components without shutting down the system.

Why do bowlers go so near the crease?
Going so near the crease makes no-balls more likely.
Disadvantages : A penalty run is given away. Maybe more runs if the batsman can hit it. Maybe more runs in the next penalty ball. In 20-20 format, a free-hit also gives away more runs. Wickets (catch, stumping, etc) might be potentially taken, but the effort will be lost, only because of the no-ball. (( Case In Point : http://www.icc-cricket.com/world-t20/match/worldt20-2016/34 , ICC World Twenty20 2016 Semi-Final 2 , March 31st 2016 , Wankhede Stadium , West Indies won by 7 wickets ))
Advantages : None that I can think of. One very unlikely possibility was that the bowler wants to maximise the speed for the batsman, or minimise the Distance for the ball to travel. But if this is a real advantage, then there should be no batsmen batting from outside the crease. More-over, batsmen would not be charging down towards the ball. Hence this advantage does not sound correct.
With all these Disadvantages, why do bowlers go so near the crease ?
One Quote by Dhoni after the Match given above, where I have highlighted the point of this question :
"It was a bad toss to lose, as the dew started to come in for us. The spinner did not have much to offer with that and we have history about our spinners bowling with the dew. I am not happy with the no balls but other than that the boys played very well. We wanted the fast bowlers to make some sort of a game, they bowled decently but the conditions were tough for them."

This is actually a great question. I have seen spinners (esp. Saqlain Mushtaq) bowl from behind the bowling crease (at times, even from right next to the umpire). I have always wondered why bowlers don't use it tactically, maybe varying the delivery point for one or two balls in the over to make things a little harder for the batsman. – Masked Man Apr 19 '15 at 11:03
They do use it as a tactic. Bowlers use the entire crease, as & when it suits them. However, the specific question the OP asked is very hard to answer, particularly as he rebuts each answer with the equivalent of "I know, but...." – TrueDub May 12 '15 at 10:16
@MaskedMan , Yes, I am glad you find this a great question. Really, "varying the delivery point" is a good tactic, but most bowlers simply go as far as possible without variation. End Result : (1) No challenge to batsmen on the variation and (2) Many no-balls, with loss of runs + a few lost wickets taken on the no-ball. – Prem May 15 '15 at 6:14
@TrueDub , if you say anything new which is not already in my post, I will not say "I know, but....". In your answer, you do not refer to variation, referring only to max-speed. My reply was "When batsmen are very comfortable with fast balls, sometimes even charging forward, why bowlers risk no-balls for getting max-speed ?". MaskedMan made a good point of variation, but bowlers are not even using that : they simply go as far as possible. My question remains "When bowlers have little advantage in max-speed & when they have choice of variation, why do they consistently go so near the crease ?" – Prem May 15 '15 at 6:34
@TrueDub Of course, I know that, but in case it wasn't already obvious from the context, I wasn't referring to the horizontal variation of the delivery point, but the vertical one. We sometimes see a pace bowler's ball swings after it passed the bat but before reaching WK. The commentators keep blabbering on and on about how he should try to make the ball swing before it reaches the bat. Releasing the ball from a few feet behind the popping crease can help. It is at least worth trying for one delivery, but nobody does! – Masked Man May 16 '15 at 11:56
I'm assuming you mean the popping crease, which is the horizontal line at the bowler's end closest to the batsman.
Fast bowlers in general try to get as close to a no-ball as possible without actually conceding one, and umpires generally have to be very vigilant on this. The bowler is trying to wring every last kph out of the delivery, and so trying to get as close as possible to the batsman before delivering.
Slower bowlers in general don't rely on pure pace, and so are happy to simply place their foot on or behind that crease.
TrueDubTrueDub
This is what I mentioned in my question, as a possible but very unlikely "Advantage". If this really an advantage, then (A) no batsman should bat from outside the batting crease & (B) there should be no batsmen charging down towards the ball (both of which will enhance the advantage). – Prem Apr 12 '15 at 10:00
That's a question coaches (and umpires) have been asking since the front-foot no-ball law was introduced. – TrueDub Apr 12 '15 at 10:14
You're pretty much answering your own question now, which makes me wonder why you asked it. – TrueDub Apr 12 '15 at 13:18
@DaveP However, fast bowlers do not always release from the same point. They sometimes bowl from close to the stumps (a certain Mr. Steven Finn doing this too often even led to a change in the rules), and at other times from close to the return crease, or anywhere in between. Doing it "horizontally" is enough of a give-away to the batsman, then why not do it vertically, that is the question. In fact, as a batsman, I would find it harder if the bowler releases the ball at any random point during his run-up than if he does it from a fixed distance. – Masked Man May 16 '15 at 12:00
Further on that point, several international batsman speak about how they "switch off" mentally after playing a ball, sing a song (Virender Sehwag, for example) or whatever, and then "switch on" moments before the ball is delivered. Bowler releasing the ball earlier than expected can completely mess up the batsman's mind, never mind the speed of the ball. – Masked Man May 16 '15 at 12:07
Simple... to achieve consistent a good line and length and to trouble the batter. The good length will put doubt in the batters mind to come forward or back plus with the bowler closer to them at the point of release can intimidate them.
If they trained and then played with their front foot much further back then the batter will have time to adjust and to decide what to do, plus the ball will not bounce as much because the ball has to be bowled flatter to bounce at the point of indecision.
Besides the bowler will mark their run up so they can get their foot close to the pooping crease. They don't want to go over it but does happen particularly if they try too hard and their stride widens.
from Brett Lee himself...
Someone will mark exactly where your front foot landed, and you don't worry about where the ball goes. Then you go back and do it again, pushing off the same mark, run and let it go while feeling comfortable, and hopefully you will release the ball at the same point.
So it is important to release the ball from the same spot so why not use the crease as the marker and get under the skin of the batter also.
Cricket is more than skill, it is also a mind game to upset the rhythms of their opponent

+1 , interesting reference, though it only partially answers my question (it even reinforces my question) : "Someone will mark exactly where your front foot landed, & you don't worry about where the ball goes - You find after doing this about 10 times that you are releasing the ball at pretty much the same spot - You don't want to waste energy because you need it to keep concentration & accuracy" : What I get from this : "bowler can mark start-point & ensure that end-point is within the crease + he should not worry about no balls". So why do some bowlers still risk going so near the crease ? – Prem Jul 16 '15 at 11:28
Delivering from some 5 cm behind the crease will be hardly noticeable to the batsman. If that wasn't the case, batsmen would have detected no-balls themselves, but that almost never happens. – Masked Man Apr 1 '16 at 16:22

Beware of counterfeit Prince/Associated Artist releases!
In recent years, as various Prince and associated artist albums have gone out of print, counterfeiters have stepped in to fill a gap in the market by producing unauthorized copies of these now-rare collectibles. The problem is especially acute for out-of-print compact discs, although some vinyl albums have been counterfeited as well. Some of the counterfeit CDs look very professional, and it can be difficult to tell them apart from genuine CDs. Counterfeits are regularly found on websites such as Amazon.com and eBay, and even in brick-and-mortar record stores, so it is possible that you already own one without even knowing it is a counterfeit. Some of the counterfeits are sold for high prices, and you may be surprised--as I was at one point--that someone can charge $100 or more for a counterfeit CD today when the genuine article was available at some point for a regular retail price. For some albums, the CD versions are much, much rarer than the vinyl, because they were issued at a time when few people had CD players and went out of print after a short run.
Before the MoQuake website closed, a thread was maintained on Known Fakes with a lot of useful images, some taken from the earlier Housequake website. That thread has been archived and can still be viewed here:
http://web.archive.org/we...3&t=31
Other relevant threads include these:
http://prince.org/msg/5/175970
Before buying any out-of-print Prince or associated artist CD, whether on this forum or elsewhere, you should consider the possibility that it may be a counterfeit. Do some research to find out what countries (if any) saw an official release and what prices an official release might command in today's market. If it looks like you're getting an amazing deal, you're probably buying a counterfeit, unless you're dealing with someone who doesn't know the article's value (and that's unlikely to happen online). If the CD was only issued in Japan and/or Europe, and the copy you're being offered is supposedly from the U.S. or some other country, it's a counterfeit. You may wish to ask the seller to compare the CD and its matrix numbers to images of known fakes. You also have the right to ask about the seller's return policy, when and where the seller acquired the item, and whether the seller will guarantee the item's authenticity. In addition, if you encounter a counterfeit CD that has not yet been discussed on these threads, please reply to this thread so that the fake can be documented, and include images if possible. This will help the community keep track of which albums have been counterfeited and how to avoid the fakes.
It is unfortunate that some unscrupulous individuals are profiting from the work of musicians whose art they did not help to create. The best way we can fight this is to raise awareness of the problem and make accurate information available.

To start this new sticky off, I thought I would share some more images of the fake Vanity 6 CD I unknowingly bought last year. But first, for comparison purposes, here is an image of a genuine WB CD:
I have used my copy of Prince's 1999 because it is common enough that this image would be of no use to counterfeiters, but there are some features common to most if not all genuine Warner Brothers CDs pressed for the U.S. market during this period. (European and Japanese pressings are different.) The most important features to note are the two shiny mirror bands, one around the center of the disc and the other around the edge. The one around the center contains the matrix numbers, which are often key to identifying fakes. Note also the black jewel box case with the "Compact Disc" logo in the top right corner.
Now compare this image of a fake Vanity 6 CD:
There is no outer mirror band, and the jewel box is clear plastic. Note also how the paper insert at the back does not fit properly into the case. Here are some photos of that paper insert (back and spine):
In the photo of the spine, note the uneven lettering of "Vanity 6." The counterfeiter is trying to replicate the original font but can't do so precisely.
Finally, here's a photo of the cover:
The actual cover of the counterfeit looks about as blurry and faded as it does in this photo. The cover of a genuine Vanity 6 CD is much sharper. I have a genuine copy but will not post the images here as it might help the counterfeiters out.
Overall, if you know what to look for, it would be easy to identify this as a fake. But if you aren't expecting to find a counterfeit on Amazon (as I wasn't), you could be fooled.

Just grabbed a copy of Romance 1600 from an Amazon seller and, perhaps it's just because this thread is in my head, but I'm suspicious of it. Does anyone know if people have bothered to counterfeit these discs too?
The print quality of the liners is rather bad, the paper feels flimsy, and strangely, the liner notes are very loose in the case, as if they have been cut a few millimeters too short. The very tip top of Sheila's hairdo (as well as the very top little teardrop dot of the little design behind the word "Sheila" on the cover) is cut off as a result!
The disc seems very close, and actually looks almost identical to the copy on Madhouse Music right now, with the exception of the lack of a "brushed" silver area just inside the outer mirror band. But the bands themselves are there. Does anyone know if there are multiple pressings of the "German" Romance 1600?

State Senate District 13 candidates on how can Tennessee prevent rural hospitals from closing
Scott Broden
Daily News Journal
The closing of 11 rural hospitals has emerged as one of the campaign issues for federal and state candidates in Tennessee this year.
Democrats such as gubernatorial candidate Karl Dean have said expansion of Medicaid through the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) funding is the solution to keeping rural hospitals open. Republicans such as gubernatorial candidate Bill Lee, however, contend more government involvement is not the solution.
It's an issue candidates competing in the race to represent state Senate District 13 will have to address once elected. The district represents all of Smyrna and La Vergne and many neighborhoods throughout Murfreesboro. Other communities that are part of District 13 include Walter Hill, Blackman, Almaville, Rockvale and Eagleville and Midland.
Candidates competing in the Nov. 6 election are Republican Dawn White, a state representative seeking to join the Tennessee Senate, Democrat Kelly Northcutt and independent Ginger Smith. The winner will succeed former Republican state Sen. Bill Ketron, who was electedRutherford County mayor in August.
White, Northcutt and Smith recently responded to a question from The Daily News Journal about how to stop the closures.
What should be done to stop the closing of rural hospitals?
White: We certainly need to continue looking for ways to make health care more affordable and accessible, but we should do so through pursuing conservative, free-market reforms to reduce costs and expand access to coverage rather than by expanding Obamacare in Tennessee.
Obamacare has been a disaster from the start, and I remain strongly opposed to expanding Obamacare in our state. There is no such thing as free money, and we simply can't afford it as a state. In fact, states that have expanded their programs have seen total Medicaid spending grow almost twice as fast as compared to states that have not expanded Medicaid.
Northcutt: Our rural hospitals are suffering because of the state legislatures' failure to pass Medicaid expansion.
Passing this legislation would extend health care coverage to the three in five Tennesseans who now live more than 45 minutes away from the nearest hospital. It would return our tax dollars to the hospitals who desperately need these funds to remain open as a vital source for medical care and employment in their communities.
Smith: If rural hospitals are being closed, the legislature needs to make sure that our citizens have quick access to medical services and routine physical exams. All Tennesseans need to be able to see a treating physician on a regular basis, get necessary services and have emergency room care.
As a result, the legislature may need to appropriate funding for hospitals and other medical services. My goal would be to improve health care for all Tennesseans.

Frigid Temperatures Likely to Impact 49ers-Packers Spread, Total Betting
Don Shapiro
With game time temperatures expected to feel like 13 degrees throughout the approximate 3 hours of play, the 49ers-Packers spread has noticeably been affected, as is evidenced by the 4 different lines Gambling911.com has observed as of Saturday morning. BetUS.com offered a line of Green Bay -8.5, and it was suggested to lock that number in fast since we didn't see it lasting much longer. In general, the odds haven't shifted all that much since opening at -9.5, however, in addition to the -8.5 line, we are also seeing a few -10's.
The 49ers have reacted by signing veteran cold-weather kicker Jeff Reed for Sunday's 12 pm Central Time game at Green Bay.
The total opened at 41.5 and has dropped to 40.5 at only a handful of online sportsbooks. Most books across the board were holding at 40. Subfreezing temperatures often affect one's ability to properly handle the football (hence, less catches are possible).
70 percent of those betting the spread were backing the Packers. Virtually nobody was on the 49ers money line. 85 percent were on the OVER.
Important betting trends to consider coming into the 49ers-Packers game included:
The Packers beat San Francisco by 6 points at home last season. The temperatures then were in the 50's however.
The 49ers are 9-1-2 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog. The Packers are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite of 3.5-10.0.
The 49ers are 10-4-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. The Packers are 18-7-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.
A critical stat: The 49ers are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games when playing on a Sunday following a Monday Night Football game. (edge: Packers)
San Francisco is just 2-6 ATS on grass.
The 49ers are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games in Week 13. The Packers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 December games, but are also 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games played during Week 13.
San Francisco is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a Straight Up win and 5-20 ATS following a Straight Up win of more than 40 points. The Packers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a Straight Up loss. (edge: Packers)
The UNDER has gone 1-7 for San Francisco in December games during the last 3 seasons.
