GALLERY SALLY DAN-CUTHBERT
Don Cameron - THE PHOTOGRAPHER FINDING BEAUTY IN BRUTALISM AND NEGLECTED BUILDINGS
LILITH HARDIE LUPICA, VOGUE LIVING, August 27, 2020
Don Cameron's Communion is the culmination of 20 years of work; a series of nine photographs that "crystallise time, histories, obsolescence and indifference in a single image," says Sally Dan–Cuthbert, whose gallery is currently exhibiting the series in Sydney.
A tribute to neglected Brutalist structures scattered across the globe, structures that Cameron notes have been "stripped of purpose and isolated from the present, [and] are literally sinking, eroding or being assimilated into the terrain on which they were built."
Don Cameron, Alderney, Communion 2002-2020, Edition 5 + 2AP, Dimensions Framed 1320mm x 1320mm x 60m, Print Archival pigment print on cotton art rag
Cameron, an Australian director, designer and visual artist, whose work as a director of music videos for the likes of Pet Shop Boys, Garbage and Blur has earned him a spot in the archive of the permanent collection of the British Film Institute, became aware of these structures and their erosion during his time in London, the home of Brutalism.
"Studying design in London, we were taught of the common creative process-that of enquiry and how it can be applied across mediums," Cameron tells Vogue Living of the breadth of his output. "I never wanted to be limited by medium as you can explore, learn and say different things in different mediums. My practice is more accumulative."
Don Cameron, Guernsey, Communion 2002-2020, Edition 5 + 2AP, Dimensions Framed 1320mm x 1320mm x 60mm, Print Archival pigment print on cotton art rag
The series of nine images, which Cameron notes were edited down and handpicked to sit alongside one another "based on their inter-relationship, sculptural quality, and strange beauty", have not only captivated and inspired the artist for some 20 years but have driven him across the globe in what he describes as an almost "ritualistic" need to collect and catalogue these buildings.
"I've always had an element of my practice as a kind of open narrative within which I can participate," says Cameron, adding, "the act of researching, casting, then travelling to these often far flung and remote locations to experience the feeling of being before them became a ritual. An action of collecting."
Don Cameron, Vienna, Communion 2002-2020, Edition 5 + 2AP, Dimensions Framed 1320mm x 1320mm x 60mm, Print Archival pigment print on cotton art rag
"Like totems or silent sentinels that mark the earth's littoral—where land, sea and sky merge, they stare outward at the infinite," Cameron says of these structures which can be found in obscure locations like Bosnia and Herzegovina's Kozara Mountain or on the Channel Islands.
Cameron continues: "I have always been inspired by the obscure, marginal and aberrant. As with music, when you feel you have discovered something great, then you listen to something that touches you more profoundly; it's incredible these structures exist. The only reason they endure is because they are impossible to destroy."
Don Cameron, Neviges, Communion 2002-2020, Edition 5 + 2AP, Dimensions Framed 1320mm x 1320mm x 60mm, Print Archival pigment print on cotton art rag
"Rising like abstract, impossible and inhospitable mountains from the earth, what is so paradoxical about these seemingly enduring, almost indestructible buildings is their purpose. Designed as churches (Vienna's Wotruba Church by Cubist sculptor Fritz Wotruba and Neviges's Pilgrimage Church by Gottfried Böhm), bunkers and spomeniks (Balkan monuments erected in tribute to the lives lost and battles fought during World War II).
That these traditionally safe, welcoming structures were created through the Brutalist lens and cast from concrete speaks to the collective mindset of the world in which they were conceived; and, undoubtedly, reinforce the paradoxical nature of these buildings, which sit as unmovable reminders of our history, yet are places of communion, protection, salvation and healing."
Don Cameron, Petrova Gora, Communion 2002-2020, Edition 5 + 2AP, Dimensions Framed 1320mm x 1320mm x 60mm, Print Archival pigment print on cotton art rag
"The unique characteristics of these primitive structures or survival machines also represent the last form of static defense," says Cameron. "Their foundation-less mass is not grounded in the earth, but centred upon itself, independent, capable of movement and articulation to sustain the focus of its occupants under extreme conditions."
Don Cameron, Sanski Most, Communion 2002-2020, Edition 5 + 2AP, Dimensions Framed 1320mm x 1320mm x 60mm, Print Archival pigment print on cotton art rag
When quizzed on his favourite Brutalist structure Cameron quips "Belgium does brutalism best", but it's the quirky Casa Sperimentale in Rome that he acknowledges as his favoured structure. "I went to the outskirts of Rome last year to the coastal town of Fregene, made famous by Fellini for sequences he filmed there for Juliet of the Spirits. In the Fregene pine forest is built 'Casa Sperimentale' designed by Guiseppe Perugini intended as a villa for weekend occupation," the artist explains.
Next for Cameron? "Currently I am designing the interiors for a house in Parsley Bay and for a former Victorian country retreat in Cattai, NSW." Homes which we hope to glimpse sooner rather than later considering Cameron's oeuvre, which includes Canberra's Hotel Hotel project.
Don Cameron's Communion is showing at Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert until August 30.

Жакли́н Биссе́т (; ; род. 13 сентября 1944 в Уэйбридже, графство Суррей, Англия) — британская киноактриса, известная по ролям в фильмах 1960—80-х годов, среди которых такие значительные, как «Американская ночь» Трюффо (1973) и «Бездна» Йетса (1977). Популярность в СССР и России она завоевала благодаря ролям в фильмах «Великолепный» (1973), «Убийство в «Восточном экспрессе» (1974), «Бездна» (1977), «Дикая орхидея» (1989) и «Наполеон и Жозефина» (1987), в котором она сыграла Жозефину Богарне.

Обладательница премии «Золотой глобус» за роль в мини-сериале «Танцы на грани» (2013). В последние годы Биссет принимает участие в различных телевизионных проектах, наиболее заметным из которых стал телесериал «Части тела» (2006).

Биография

Ранние годы
Биссет, получившая при рождении имя Уинфред Жаклин Фрейзер-Биссет (Winifred Jacqueline Fraser Bisset), появилась на свет в Вейбридже, графство Суррей, Англия. Её мать — Арлетт Александер, наполовину француженка, наполовину англичанка, архитектор и адвокат; отец — Макс Фрейзер-Биссет, шотландец, участковый врач-терапевт.

Во время Второй мировой войны мать Биссет на велосипеде добралась из Парижа до побережья, чтобы уплыть в Британию вместе с отступавшими перед вторжением немцев войсками. У Биссет был брат по имени Макс. Мать научила Биссет французскому языку и определила в лондонский Французский лицей имени Шарля де Голля. Когда Жаклин была подростком, у её матери диагностировали рассеянный склероз. В 1968 году, после 28 лет совместной жизни, родители Биссет развелись, и Жаклин осталась с больной матерью.

В детстве Жаклин брала уроки балета, позже училась актёрскому мастерству и параллельно работала манекенщицей, чтобы оплатить учёбу.

Карьера
В 1967 году Биссет получила роль в фильме «Двое на дороге», где стала партнершей Одри Хепбёрн и Альберта Финни. Следующей работой стала роль мисс Гудфингс в пародийной комедии о Джеймсе Бонде «Казино "Рояль"». В том же году она сыграла ставшую знаменательной роль подруги Стива Маккуина в боевике «Буллит». В 1970 она была в числе звёзд, приглашённых в фильм-катастрофу «Аэропорт» вместе с Дином Мартином, Бертом Ланкастером, Джин Сиберг и Хелен Хейз. Картина была номинирована на премию Академии киноискусств за лучший фильм.

 В 1971 году вышла британская кинолента «Secrets» — единственная, в которой Биссет снималась в обнажённом виде.

В 1973 сыграла вместе с Жан-Полем Бельмондо в фильме «Великолепный» режиссёра Филиппа Де Брока. В 1975 году сыграла главную роль в фильме Луиджи Коменчини «Женщина на воскресенье».

В 1977 вышел фильм «Бездна», в котором её партнерами были Роберт Шоу и Ник Нолти. Кинолента принесла ей популярность в Америке, в том числе благодаря сцене, в которой Биссет плавала в море, ничего не надев под футболку. Кассовый успех фильма позволил продюсеру Питеру Гьюберу заявить: «Эта футболка сделала меня богачом», а за Жаклин закрепить славу популяризатора конкурса мокрых футболок. В том же году «Newsweek» назвал Биссет «красивейшей киноактрисой всех времён».

К 1978 году Жаклин Биссет стала известной актрисой. Первая номинация на «Золотой глобус» досталась ей за комедию «Кто убивает великих европейских поваров?». Вскоре после этого она сыграла в фильмах «Богатые и знаменитые» (1981) с Кэндис Берген, «Класс» с Робом Лоу (1983) и «Под вулканом» с (1984) с Альбертом Финни. За последний Биссет снова была номинирована на «Золотой глобус». В 1996 году она претендовала на премию «Сезар» за роль в фильме «Церемония».

Биссет работала с такими режиссёрами, как Франсуа Трюффо, Джон Хьюстон, Джордж Кьюкор и Роман Полански. Несколько её фильмов вышло во Франции и Италии.

Со своими партнёрами Биссет часто снималась в нескольких фильмах. С Полом Ньюманом и Энтони Перкинсом она играла в фильме «Жизнь и времена судьи Роя Бина», с Ньюманом — в фильме «Когда кончилось время», с Финни — в фильмах «Двое на дороге», «Под вулканом» и «Убийство в "Восточном экспрессе"», где её партнерами также были Энтони Перкинс и Шон Коннери.

Биссет появлялась и в телевизионных фильмах, особенно часто — в последние годы. В 1999 году за минисериал «Жанна д'Арк» она была номинирована на премию «Эмми» . Другими заметными телепроектами с участием Жаклин Биссет — номинированные на «Эмми» фильмы «Иисус» (1999) и «В начале (2000)» с Мартином Ландау и Кристофером Ли. Также Биссет приглашали в эпизоды сериалов «Элли Макбил» и «Закон и порядок: Специальный корпус». Одной из последних работ актрисы стала роль Жаклин Кеннеди в фильме 2003 года «America's Prince: The John F. Kennedy Jr. Story». В 2005 году она сыграла в фильме «Домино» с Кирой Найтли. Наиболее недавнее появление Биссет на телеэкране — роль в сериале «Части тела». В 2008 году на кинофестивале «Санденс» состоялась премьера фильма Боаза Якина «Death in Love», в которой Жаклин Биссет исполнила главную роль.

В отличие от многих актрис своего поколения, которым трудно найти работу после сорока, Биссет плавно изменила амплуа с главных героинь на характерные роли. Она остаётся востребованной и в Голливуде, и в Европе. В интервью бермудской газете в 2004 году она сказала:«Киноиндустрия, возможно, больше в Америке, чем в Европе, всегда старалась эксплуатировать юную сексуальность. Для театра это не так важно, но в Америке киноаудитория молода и желает смотреть фильмы о любви и приключениях, которые близки им. В Америке не снимают интеллектуальное кино. Но не нужно требовать многого. Те, кто хочет получать удовольствие от работы как можно дольше, найдет себе роль и там. Я считаю, что нужно быть как можно более гибкой. Возможно, вы не окажетесь в одном из кассовых фильмов, но, если честно, кто захочет играть в подобном? Многие кассовые фильмы снимаются для подростков и выглядят ребячеством, роль в них не делает тебе чести. Многие актрисы, которых я знаю, разочаровываются в своей работе, но нужно приспосабливаться к реальности. Я просто нахожу своё место в чём-то, что считаю интересным, или играю в независимом кино».

Личная жизнь
Жаклин Биссет никогда не была замужем, однако имела длительные романтические отношения с русским артистом балета Александром Годуновым с начала 1980-х годов в течение 7 лет.

Жаклин Биссет — крёстная мать Анджелины Джоли. Вместе со своей крестницей она сыграла в фильме «Мистер и миссис Смит» (2005), однако в окончательный вариант ленты эпизоды с Биссет не попали.

Биссет живёт на два дома: один — в Англии, другой — в Беверли-Хиллз, Калифорния.

Saudi Arabia says hajj to be limited to 60,000 in kingdom
Dubai, Jun 12: Saudi Arabia says this year"s hajj pilgrimage will be limited to no more than 60,000 people, all of them from within the kingdom, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The kingdom made the announcement Saturday on its state-run Saudi Press Agency.
It cited the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah for making the decision.
In last year"s hajj, as few as 1,000 people already residing in Saudi Arabia were selected to take part in the hajj.
Two-thirds were foreign residents from among the 160 different nationalities that would have normally been represented at the hajj. One-third were Saudi security personnel and medical staff.

Pulmonary hypertension in advanced sarcoidosis: epidemiology and clinical characteristics

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a predictor of poor outcome in sarcoidosis. Little is known about the epidemiology of PH in sarcoidosis.
The current authors reviewed the records of patients with sarcoidosis listed for lung transplantation in the USA between January 1995 and December 2002. PH was defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure of >25 mmHg and severe PH as a mean pulmonary artery pressure of ≥40 mmHg.
The cohort included 363 patients of whom 73.8% had PH. Neither spirometric testing nor the need for corticosteroids was associated with PH. Subjects with PH required more supplemental oxygen (2.7±1.8 L·min−1 versus 1.6±1.4 L·min−1). The cardiac index was lower in individuals with PH, whereas the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure was higher. In multivariate analysis, supplemental oxygen remained an independent predictor of PH, whereas the relationship between cardiac index and PH was no longer significant. As a screening test, the need for oxygen had a sensitivity and specificity of 91.8% and 32.6%, respectively.
Pulmonary hypertension is common in advanced sarcoidosis. The need for oxygen correlates with pulmonary hypertension. Since pulmonary hypertension is associated with poor outcomes and because simple clinical criteria fail to identify patients with sarcoidosis and pulmonary hypertension, more aggressive screening for this should be considered.
Sarcoidosis is a disease of unknown aetiology, which has protein manifestations. Although any organ system may be involved, sarcoidosis almost uniformly affects the lungs and intrathoracic lymph nodes. The majority of patients with sarcoidosis do well, with few requiring extended therapy 1, 2. For those who do need regular treatment, the list of available alternatives continues to expand and now includes methotrexate and infliximab, in addition to corticosteroids 3–5. Despite these recent advances, some individuals do poorly and develop end-stage lung disease. In such cases, orthotopic lung transplantation (OLT) has emerged as an important consideration.
The decision to list a patient for OLT incorporates an estimate of their expected intermediate-term survival, e.g. over the next 2 yrs 5. As with many forms of interstitial lung disease, predicting survival is difficult given both the variable natural history of the process and the limited published experience with risk stratification 6. However, several recent reports have documented poor outcomes among patients with sarcoidosis who develop pulmonary hypertension (PH) 7, 8. Arcasoy et al. 7, in a review of all sarcoidosis patients at their institution listed for OLT, found that survival was significantly worse in those who had right atrial pressures >15 mmHg. In a similar analysis, the current authors noted that the presence of PH adversely affected survival 8. Proposed changes to the organ allocation system in the USA for lung transplantation have incorporated these findings 9. These recommendations give added priority to patients with sarcoidosis who suffer from PH.
Due to the importance of PH as a determinant of prognosis in sarcoidosis, coupled with the potential priority given to these subjects in terms of undergoing OLT, it was hypothesised that readily available clinical characteristics would identify patients with sarcoidosis likely to concomitantly have elevated pulmonary arterial pressures (Ppa). A retrospective analysis of all patients listed for OLT with sarcoidosis in the USA was conducted in order to determine which factors were associated with the presence of PH and to assess the accuracy of these variables in identifying patients with sarcoidosis and PH.
Subjects and end-points
For all subjects listed for OLT in the USA, the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) oversees the listing process for organ allocation. As part of this responsibility, UNOS maintains a registry of all patients eventually listed for OLT and their clinical characteristics. The current authors reviewed this registry and identified patients listed for OLT irrespective of type of proposed transplant (single lung, double lung and heart–lung) for sarcoidosis during the 7 yrs between January 1995 and December 2002. Patients <18 yrs of age were excluded and the diagnosis of sarcoidosis was based on the reports of the referring transplant centre. The results of invasive right heart catheterisation (RHC) were utilised to categorise patients as to the presence or absence of PH. The current authors defined PH, the primary end-point, as the presence of mean Ppa >25 mmHg. Severe PH (e.g. mean Ppa of ≥40 mmHg) represented a secondary end-point. Initial demographic and outcomes data from segments of this cohort have been reported elsewhere 8, 10.
In order to list a patient for OLT with UNOS, the referral centre provides a comprehensive profile of the subject, describing the demographic features, pulmonary function, functional status and comorbid medical illnesses. For the present analysis, specific variables of interest included patient age, sex and race. For pulmonary function and physiology, the relationship between Ppa and forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), carbon dioxide arterial tension (Pa,CO2), need for supplemental oxygen, and 6-min walk distance were explored. UNOS does not record data on the arterial oxygen tension (Pa,O2) and the diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (DL,CO). Additionally, UNOS did not begin to require reporting of the FEV1/FVC ratio until 1999. Therefore, this factor was not included in the present assessment. From the invasive testing, the authors collected measures of cardiac performance (e.g. cardiac index) and the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (Ppcw).
With respect to functional status, patients were categorised as needing no assistance, some assistance, or complete assistance with their activities of daily living. The patient's employment status (working versus unemployed), location at time of listing (e.g. outpatient versus hospitalised) and whether they required life support, such as vasoactive medications or mechanical ventilation, were all determined. Although UNOS offers no specific guidance for the management of sarcoidosis, referral centres may classify patients as being corticosteroid dependent and, thus, this factor was also examined. For comorbid illnesses, the current authors focused on the presence or absence of vascular diseases, such as hypertension, angina and stroke.
Univariate analyses were performed for all the variables noted above, comparing those with PH to those with normal Ppa and then comparing patients with severe PH to those with Ppa ≤25 mmHg. Continuous data are reported as mean±sd. Categorical variables were compared with the Chi-squared test. The present study evaluated continuous variables with an unpaired t-test if normally distributed or with a Wilcoxon rank sum test if they followed a non-normal distribution. All tests were two-tailed and a p-value of <0.05 was assumed to represent statistical significance.
All variables were initially placed in a multivariate logistic regression model to identify factors associated with PH and severe PH. As a sensitivity analysis and to explore this approach to multivariate analysis, a second model was created. In the second model, variables that were significant at the p = 0.2 level in the univariate analysis were included as covariates in a backward elimination, multivariable logistic regression in order to determine which factors were independently associated with PH and severe PH. The results of the second model were not different from the initial analysis; hence, only the results of the model with all variables entered are reported herein. To determine the implications of these predictors of PH, which emerged from the logistic regression, the authors computed their sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value as a function of their ability to identify patients with PH. Where appropriate, 95% confidence intervals (CI) were reported.
During the study period, there were 363 patients with sarcoidosis listed for OLT and who had complete RHC data available. This represents 72.5% of all sarcoidosis subjects listed, and those without results from RHC did not differ from those undergoing RHC with respect to any of the clinical variables analysed (data not shown). The mean age of the cohort was 46 yrs, 65% were female and nearly 70% of patients were African American. PH was common and noted in 73.8% of the population. Severe PH was reported in more than a third (n = 131, 36%) of cases.
As shown in table 1⇓, demographic variables were not related to the presence of PH. For example, ∼70% of Caucasians had elevated Ppa as compared with 76.2% of African Americans. Results of pulmonary function tests also failed to differ based on the presence or absence of PH. However, patients with Ppa >25 mmHg required, on average, more supplemental oxygen. The mean O2 requirement in those with PH was 2.7±1.8 L·min−1 versus 1.6±1.4 L·min−1 (p<0.001). Additionally, functional status and employment status varied in relation to Ppa. Subjects with normal pulmonary pressures were 1.74-times (95% CI: 1.07–2.83) more likely to report no limitations with functional status than patients with Ppa >25 mmHg. Conversely, PH doubled the risk that an individual with sarcoidosis would be unemployed due to disease (odds ratio (OR): 2.08; 95% CI: 1.30–3.42). Hospitalisation at time of listing and the need for life support (e.g. therapy with vasopressor and/or mechanical ventilation) were infrequent and failed to correlate with the results of RHC. Systemic hypertension necessitating treatment was more common among patients with Ppa >25 mmHg. Nearly 25% of those with PH were being treated for systemic hypertension, whereas only 13.7% of those lacking PH were receiving therapy for an elevated blood pressure (p = 0.016).
Table. 1—
Correlates of pulmonary hypertension
The cardiac function was statistically lower in those with PH with the cardiac index measuring 2.66±3.58 L·min−1·m−2 whereas it was 2.79±0.54 L·min−1·m−2 in patients with normal Ppa (p = 0.03). The Ppcw was concomitantly higher in the setting of PH (12.69±7.51 mmHg versus 7.78±0.79 mmHg, p = 0.009).
Table 1⇑ also reveals the results of the comparisons of those with severe PH to subjects with normal Ppa. Variables associated with Ppa >25 mmHg correlated with the presence of severe Ppa elevations. In addition, restricting the analysis to this cohort demonstrates a univariate association between pulmonary function tests and Ppa. The FVC was higher whereas the Pa,CO2 was lower in patients with severe PH. Differences in cardiac index and Ppcw became more pronounced when the analysis was restricted to patients with severe PH.
In multivariate analysis, only two variables were associated with the presence of PH. For each L·min−1 increase in needed oxygen flow, the risk of PH approximately doubled (OR: 2.47; 95% CI: 1.61–3.79). When analysed as a categorical variable in separate models, both need for any supplemental oxygen and use of ≥3 L·min−1 were independently related to the presence of PH (OR: 8.39, 95% CI: 3.44–20.47 for any O2; OR: 3.04, 95% CI: 1.47–6.31 for O2 ≥3 L·min−1). Ppcw also independently correlated with PH. For each 1-mmHg increase in Ppcw above the mean value for the cohort, the likelihood of PH increased by 29% (OR: 1.29; 95% CI: 1.18–1.41).
For severe PH, the independent probability of having this condition also doubled with each L·min−1 increase in the use of oxygen (OR: 2.56; 95% CI: 1.03–6.24). Patients with severe PH were nearly seven times more likely (OR: 10.28; 95% CI: 2.67–39.24) to require supplemental oxygen. Need for treatment for systemic hypertension negatively correlated with the presence of severe PH (OR: 0.28; 95% CI: 0.08–0.94). The cardiac index was more impaired in the case of severe PH. With each 1-L·min−1·m−2 increase in this, compared to the mean cardiac index for the cohort, the probability of severe PH decreased by 34% (95% CI: 0.17–0.70).
Although oxygen need was independently associated with PH, its predictive power was limited. For example, employing the need for supplemental oxygen as a screening test to identify subjects suffering from Ppa >25 mmHg had a sensitivity and specificity of 91.8 and 32.6%, respectively. The positive and negative predictive values measured 79.4 and 58.5%, respectively. Thus, the accuracy (true positive+true negative rate) equalled only 68.6%. Increasing the threshold to use of ≥3 L·min−1 compromised sensitivity while improving specificity (44.9 and 77.9%, respectively). The overall accuracy decreased to 52.9%. Exploring oxygen needs in those with severe PH produced similar results. Combining the presence of systemic hypertension with the need for supplemental oxygen did not appear to improve screening efforts based on clinical criteria. For any PH, the sensitivity and specificity of the combination of systemic hypertension and need for supplemental oxygen were 23.5 and 90.5%, respectively. Although the sensitivity is increased with this approach, the accuracy drops to 41.0%. Underscoring the potential limited role for clinical criteria, in severe PH, use of both systemic hypertension and supplemental oxygen results in the misclassification of nearly one in three patients (e.g. overall accuracy 63.9%).
This retrospective analysis of a large cohort of patients with advanced sarcoidosis demonstrates that both PH and severe elevations in Ppa are common in this setting. Nonetheless, simple clinical criteria have limited power as screening tests to identify those persons with sarcoidosis who concomitantly have PH.
The mechanisms for PH in sarcoidosis remain unclear. As with other forms of interstitial lung disease, Ppa may rise as a result of progressive fibrosis and destruction of alveolar capillary membrane units 11. Additionally, the present findings, regarding the incidence of PH, are consistent with the observations by Gluskowski et al. 12 that 50% of those with stage III sarcoidosis have increased Ppa.
However, among those with moderate elevations of Ppa, the authors' failure to note a correlation between certain measures lung function and the results of invasive haemodynamic monitoring imply that alternative mechanisms are at play. In fact, in severe PH, an inverse relationship was found between FVC and Ppa. A systemic vasculitis, which affects the pulmonary vasculature, can complicate sarcoidosis. Fernandes et al. 13 have described this phenomenon in a detailed review of published reports of vasculitis in sarcoidosis. Based on arteriography, patients had evidence of both large and small vessel vasculitis. Many of these subjects, however, were children, whereas the current analysis was restricted to adults. Vasculitis is also exceedingly rare in sarcoidosis, with <20 such cases described in the English literature 13. A more likely factor, which may contribute to the development of PH in sarcoidosis, is the heightened vasoresponsiveness of the pulmonary vasculature in this disease. In a prospective study of eight patients with sarcoidosis and PH, Preston et al. 14 noted significant drops in Ppa in response to inhaled nitric oxide (iNO). Moreover, despite moderately preserved lung function in their cohort (mean FVC ∼50% pred), the mean Ppa measured 55 mmHg, indicating a discordance between static measures of lung function and PH. The current authors' observations confirm the limited relationship between lung function and PH in sarcoidosis.
Cardiac factors could also potentially explain PH in sarcoidosis. First, patients with sarcoidosis are at risk of direct myocardial involvement. Due to their lung disease, these individuals could additionally develop right-sided heart failure as a consequence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction. In multivariate analysis, however, the cardiac index was not an independent predictor of PH and implies that cardiac sarcoidosis was not a significant contributor to PH. Furthermore, although the cardiac index was statistically lower in univariate analysis in patients with PH, the mean 0.13 L·min−1·m−2 difference may not necessarily be clinically insignificant. Secondly, and alternatively, the association between Ppcw and PH indicates that subtle impairment in cardiac performance may nonetheless exist. This relationship could possibly reflect left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and impaired relaxation. The nexus between PH and systemic hypertension observed in patients with severe PH supports this hypothesis regarding the significance of diastolic dysfunction. These observations also are consistent with the conclusions of Scharf et al. 15. In a detailed analysis of pulmonary haemodynamics in 120 subjects with advanced emphysema, these investigators demonstrated that PH was common and not associated with right or left systolic performance. However, they did note that diastolic dysfunction contributed to PH 14. As with many analyses of pulmonary haemodynamics, in patients with sarcoidosis being evaluated for lung transplantation, the RHCs were performed at rest. Invasive testing carried out with exertion could reveal impairments and limitations in cardiac performance not evident at rest. Hence, the importance of systolic cardiac function in the evolution of PH in sarcoidosis cannot be entirely discounted.
In more severe PH, cardiac systolic function may be more directly involved in the evolution in PH. PH could simply reflect impaired forward flow and arise as a result of poor cardiac performance. If this were the case, it may be predicted that the Ppcw would, in turn, be elevated. However, despite the Ppcw being higher in univariate analysis among those with severe PH, the Ppcw was not independently associated with the presence of severe PH. PH could theoretically compromise cardiac output through altering ventricular shape. This phenomenon, ventricular interdependence, occurs when dysfunction of one ventricle affects the function of the other through decreasing diastolic filling. Scharf et al. 15 did not observe ventricular interdependence in their analysis of patients with emphysema. Unfortunately, because of the lack of data regarding measures of ventricular performance (e.g. right and left ventricular end-diastolic indices), the present authors could not assess the degree to which ventricular interdependence is an issue in advanced sarcoidosis. Irrespectively, cardiac disease does not appear to fully account for the PH noted, as other variables are also independently correlated with the presence of PH, and the degree of elevation in Ppa was out of proportion to the mild increase in Ppcw. Finally, the lower cardiac index in the PH group, while statistically significant, may be more likely to represent an effect of the patients' PH rather than being causative, akin to what is seen in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension. Without data from serial RHCs, differentiating cause from effect is difficult.
Hypoxaemic vasoconstriction might also contribute aetiologically to PH in sarcoidosis. Alveolar hypoxia, irrespective of the cause, can result in vasoconstriction and vascular remodelling. Clinically, however, persons with superimposed PH are more likely to require supplemental oxygen. Hence, the increased use of supplemental oxygen among patients with PH does not necessarily imply causation. In other words, it may simply represent an epiphenomenon and be a marker for this process.
The current authors' findings did detect a connection between functional status and PH in univariate analysis. This is not surprising given that PH (Ppa ≥40 mmHg) is known to be a debilitating condition irrespective of its aetiology. However, no prior studies have described the relationship between functional status and PH in sarcoidosis. The fact that nearly 70% of those with Ppa ≥40 mmHg required some or total assistance with functional activities underscores the burden of PH in sarcoidosis. Therefore, clinicians who care for patients with advanced sarcoidosis must take steps to identify and treat this complication. For example, diagnosing PH when it is relatively mild could prompt physicians to begin an evaluation for occult oxygen desaturation and to consider more aggressive use of supplemental oxygen. Additionally, newer therapeutic options are available. Preston et al. 14 treated patients with long-term iNO and epoprostentol with favourable results. Similarly, endothelin receptor blockers have shown promise in the management of secondary PH 16. In a trial of sildenafil, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, in lung fibrosis and PH, this agent led to preferential pulmonary vasodilation and increased the Pa,O2 relative to epoprostenol 17.
The role for standard sarcoidosis therapies for PH in this disease is unclear. Some have reported success with corticosteroids, while others have not noted improvements in pulmonary haemodynamics with these agents 12, 14. In the present analysis, despite more than half of patients receiving corticosteroids, PH was common. Additionally, there was no evident difference in the incidence of PH as a function of treatment with corticosteroids. This suggests that the role for corticosteroids in sarcoidosis-associated PH is likely to be limited. More importantly, given the impact of PH on both morbidity and mortality in sarcoidosis, coupled with enhanced treatment alternatives, it is essential that physicians consider evaluating their patients with sarcoidosis for this problem.
Optimally, any strategy to identify those with sarcoidosis and PH would begin by determining who is at a high risk for this condition. These individuals would then undergo further testing. Focusing on the high-risk population would improve the yield of more invasive interventions, while minimising the potential costs associated with more extensive evaluation. In short, the ideal approach would rely on screening tools with high accuracy. Unfortunately though, it does not appear that simple clinical criteria adequately segregate those with PH from those with normal Ppa. Relying on oxygen use, the only variable independently associated with PH, leads to the misclassification of nearly one in three patients. In light of the prognostic implications of PH in sarcoidosis, such an error rate is unacceptable. Hence, simple clinical criteria, such as pulmonary function testing and performance status, cannot be used as a guide in determining whom requires further evaluation. Part of this arises because PH is so prevalent in the population of patients with sarcoidosis listed for OLT. At a minimum, therefore, the present authors recommend RHC for all patients being considered for OLT for sarcoidosis. Is there a role for ECG in other individuals suspected of having PH? ECG generally represents a reliable and accurate noninvasive tool for gauging Ppa. However, in advanced lung disease this may not be the case. In a prospective study of 374 people, Arcasoy et al. 18 reported that ECG allowed estimation of Ppa in only 44% of subjects. Among those with interstitial lung disease, the positive and negative predictive values of ECG for the diagnosis of PH equalled only 60 and 44%, respectively 18. Other potential markers for PH in this population, such as presence and extent of desaturation during a 6-min walk test and serum markers of heart failure (e.g. brain naturetic peptide), could represent less invasive screening options. As such, they merit formal study in prospective analyses of PH in interstitial lung disease.
The current study has several limitations. The retrospective design exposes the study to bias. However, the UNOS registry represents data collected contemporaneously at time of listing. Due to this, recall bias and coding bias are unlikely to be a concern. The current authors also lacked information on certain variables that could potentially have been of interest, such as the DL,CO. Similarly, the UNOS registry was not designed to investigate PH. Therefore, some information, such as the presence of desaturation with exercise, the exact distance walked during a 6-min walk test, the actual amount and duration of corticosteroids used, and specific information on ventricular performance potentially obtainable from RHC, were not collected and, thus, not available for inclusion in the current analysis. Furthermore, the current authors studied only patients actually listed for OLT and lacked complete RHC information on all listed subjects. As such, there may be referral bias present, in that there was no data on subjects who were not referred for OLT. For example, some of the patients with the most severe impairments in lung function might have died prior to listing or been deemed too ill for transplantation. This fact may explain why the present authors failed to note a relationship between certain variables and PH, and simultaneously limits the generalisability of the present conclusions. Despite these considerations, the current study represents the largest experience with RHC in sarcoidosis. All earlier studies on this topic are far smaller and consist of <25 patients 11–13, 15, 19–21. These other reports also originate from single centres, while the current study encompasses multiple sites throughout the USA. Due to this increase in sample size, this study was able to explore issues such as functional and employment status, which have not previously been explored as they relate to PH in sarcoidosis.
In conclusion, pulmonary hypertension is common in patients with advanced sarcoidosis. Simple clinical criteria do not successfully function as a screening test for pulmonary hypertension in this disease. Based on present observations, the authors can conclude that pulmonary hypertension in sarcoidosis is multifactorial in origin and does not solely arise because of progressive lung fibrosis.

Because Coptrol is a non-corrosive viscous liquid similar in consistency to honey, it is really easy to measure, mix and apply.
It readily dissolves in water. Once diluted it can be applied from horticulture sprayers or even a knapsack spray.
For smaller storages it can be applied from the bank and it can even be dripped directly in high volume treatments such as flood irrigation.
Before treating with Coptrol, calculate the volume of the body of water. Do this by measuring the surface area and multiplying it by the average depth down to 1 metre (you can ignore depths below 1 metre).
Click here to learn how to calculate the volume of water.
The best application method is by spraying using a 1:10 or 1:20 Coptrol/water dilution. For the best result, apply on a sunlit, wind-free day when algae first appear.
Where the water is heavily infested with algae, it is advisable ‑ where practicable ‑ to remove clumps of algae with a rake or net before applying Coptrol. In really heavy infestations it may be necessary to apply a second treatment after 10‑15 days.
Coptrol can be used wherever algae pose a problem or cause a nuisance.
The rate of use depends on the degree of infestation. The kinds of algae present and the depth of water to be treated.
2-5 mL Coptrol per 1000 litres of water.
2-5 litres Coptrol per 1000 square metres surface or per million litres of storage water.
Blue green algae releases highly dangerous toxins as it dies. Water treated for blue green algae should be quarantined from human or animal use of any kind for at least 3 - 4 weeks after applying Coptrol.
If this is not an option (for example you need to treat a pond or dam that contains fish) Coptrol application should be staggered. See How to Control Algae in Aquaculture for details on how to use Coptrol with fish or other aquatic animals.
If you need advice to create an effective management plan for blue green algae call RCI on 1800 257 193 or e-mail info@rci.com.au.
Free floating algae application (Euglena, Microcystis, Aphanizomenon, Oscillatoria, Dictyosphaerium and Anabaena) require treatment with Coptrol of only 0.2 mg/litre of copper in the water. In practical terms this is equivalent to only 2 mL Coptrol per square metre of surface or 2 litres of Coptrol per million litres of water.
(Spirogyra, Chlorella, Hydrodictyon, Cladophora and Oedogonium) require treatment with Coptrol 5 mL per square metre or 5 litres per 1000 square metres surface or per million litres of storage water.
Note: Chara and Phormidium are more resistant and may require treatment with Coptrol in the range of 0.5 mg to 1.0 mg/litre - 5 - 10 litres Coptrol per 1000 sq. metres of surface area.
In recurring cases it is worthwhile having algae identified to assist in accurate control.
Higher rates are generally beneficial, because there is NO WASTAGE of Coptrol. It remains active in the water until algae actually use it up thereby inhibiting further build up of algae.
For best results ensure that water temperature is at least 16°C (61°F).

Phoenix Rises Only So Far
By Jared Kraminitz | July 16, 2007
This review appears in the 2007 edition of The Sun's annual Freshman Issue.
Like its source material, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, diverges from its predecessors in many ways, both large and samll. It's a darker, more serious and even a more complicated film than the ones that came before, yet it also manages to be less unwieldy than its source.
In order to change an 870 page book into a movie some of depth in the former is necessarily sacrificed. The task of making these delicate excisions falls to Andrew S. Walsh who is only the second writer to pen a Harry Potter script after Steve Kloves, and he acquits himself well. The story is faster and more coherent than the book while sacrificing little of the most important details in the book. In fact, I noticed more subtle details of plot and character watching this movie than I did while reading the book.
A quick warning: I'm working from the assumption that most of the people who have seen or will see the movie have either already read the book or have not read it but don't want me to ruin it. In any event, this means that any plot description will be brief. To wit: No one believes Harry when he says Voldemort has returned. This bums him out. He's angry and hurt, but he stil manages, like any good high school student, to start padding his resume for college: He begins a new club to help other students work on their spells and also finds a new hobby called Occlumency (if you don't know at this point, well I'm not going to tell you). Then Dumbledore gets kicked out of Hogwarts and there's a wizard battle. That's about it. There may be a few details I'm leaving out but that about does it.
The movie moves quickly through its twists and turns but it often feels as if it is in a holding pattern dramatically. Aside from one major death there is very little that goes on that grabs the audience. There is, however, a lot of whispered conversation and hand-wringing (and, thankfully, no Quidditch).
This is not so much the fault of the movie as its source material, and there's no way around that other than being unfaithful to the book (which the director and writer do at the risk of their own life and limb, considering the rabid nature of a few fans I can think of).
The script is ingeniously realized by David Yates, who manages to bring a new visual flair to the film, tweaking angles and working in a visual shorthand that can momentarily confuse as it works a step ahead of the audience.
This is unknown territory in Harry Potter films, and while Mr. Yates does not capture the sense of wonder that Alfonso Cuarón did, he manages to infuse his film with a different, but equally welcome, sense of cinematic style. He also brings out fine performances in his actors, particularly the three leads (though at this point they are so entwined with these characters that they would have to make a concerted effort to not be accepted as Harry, Ron and Hermione). [img_assist|nid=23585|title=Ron, Hermoine and Harry|desc=Courtesy of veritaserum.com|link=node|align=left|width=100|height=67]
Of course, it helps that these actors are buttressed by the presence of some of the best British actors around. But these stalwarts appear very little, and if there is one cut that I regreted it was the short shrift given to the Hogwarts faculty. One assumes that the demands of running time did not allow greater roles for Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon and Gary Oldman (especially considering his absence from the next movie, if not the one after that). This is the first movie which rests clearly on Daniel Radcliffe's shoulders. While he handles the burden with a cool aplomb, it sometimes seems that his greatest acting challenge in the film is to toss and turn in bed while tensing his neck muscles.
The only competition for center stage is Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton). In pink and purple pastels, Umbridge provides comic relief but undercuts a picture that is meant to build tension and create the sense of impending doom.
A few hours after I saw the film I realized that of the entire two and a quarter hours, there were only two scenes I remembered well: the Weasley twins' explosive exit from Hogwarts, which was better in the book, and the battle at the Ministry of Magic, which managed to show wizards fighting in a manner that we haven't seen before.
While neither of those scenes was the way I had imagined them, both were, like the rest of the film, accurate to the spirit and (mostly) the letter of the book, for better or worse.
Finally, it's worth noting that the film did its job, despite its faults. I'm still going to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince when it comes out. In fact, I can't wait.

Lifeboat may be a write off
Nick Burnham March 25, 2008
Damage to an RNLI lifeboat which ran aground last Friday is so severe that it may be a write off.
Damage to an RNLI lifeboat which ran aground last Friday is so severe that her coxswain says it may be a write off. Sir Ronald Pechell Bt, Dunbar's 14m Trent class all-weather lifeboat, broke its moorings in ferocious weather conditions and was swept on to rocks at Torness.
The £1.6 million boat has since been lifted ashore, but Coxswain Gary Fairbairn says it has quite a few holes in its bottom, including two about 4ft in diameter. RNLI staff will conduct an investigation into the cause of the mooring failure, and the boat will be moved to a dockyard to undergo a thorough technical investigation to assess the damage.
A decision on the future of another all-weather lifeboat, the Severn class Katie Hannan, is still awaited. The £2 million boat was severely damaged when it was thrown ashore on Rathlin Island in January by a freak wave.


It's interesting to see how my drawing style has evolved. These are from over 10 years ago!
I've just returned from another amazing trip to NYC. I'll be posting about my trip, as well as upcoming shows very soon.


That means it's time for shopping:) Everybody loves to receive gifts, and imagine if the gift actually meets the needs of receiver-that's a double success.
It's hard to find a perfect gift, especially for a professional like Makeup Artist.
I highly suggest to not buy ANY products from pharmacy counter, since they usually don't meet quality of cosmetics used by professionals.
So here are some alternatives, that will make your MUA friend happy.
It can also be used to organize your makeup, or as a storage for cosmetics. There are many different colors too:) The only minus is that after a year of extensive using my case, it's literally falling apart. Although I think it's still worth the price.
I think this is a perfect gift for MUA who does a lot of bridal makeup (weddings). It's has 12 neutral, toned down colors, and it also comes with the brush. Plus the package looks like big yummy chocolate.
Love Love Love Urban Decay Cosmetics!!!!
And I think it's a perfect gift for everybody who likes makeup. Their packages themselves look like presents 🙂 plus you have 20 eyeshadows and a double (good quality) brush. But that's not all- you can use those babies wet- that means you can create eyeliners! So hey! For 59$ you're getting 20 eyeshadows, 20 eyeliners, and 2 brushes -awesome deal.
It's a number 1 tool in makeup industry. They can be expensive though. The most desired and one of the best brushes are MAC. So if you have $ do get those, I assure you , every makeup artist will high pinch scream seeing those under the christmas tree.
Here are some cheaper alternatives that works great and are used by professionals all over the world.
Crown brushes– super awesome, I just got them, and the quality is very good. They also have sale now!!!
Royal brushes– Super good, super cheap, + plus they have very cute packages.
I can assure you, as a MUA, I would love to get any of those products.

Q: Facebook iOS SDK and Safari based authentication issue I have used latest FB SKD in my iOS app so users can use facebook account to login. Application open the FB app and comes back to my app perfectly fine. However, in some place in the app, i have to show/pull some people facebook page (safari based using WebView), but even user already used the Facebook account to login into my native ios app, but the page still ask user to login again and when they click login, it shows them the annoying FB username/pass page.
Is there anyway, that the FB safari based page can authenticate the user since it's already logged into my app using FB integration? do i have to include query or something. Please give me details how to solve this problem since i'm new in this..
thanks again for your help...

A: When the user switches to Facebook app to authenticate, it doesn't create a cookie for your UIWebView which is why it's asking to login again. Have the user authenticate inside the UIWebView without switching to the Facebook app.

A: What you're talking about also sounds like a similar thing that happens with Facebook dialogs not knowing about the current Facebook session.
If you authenticate your user via Facebook, try saying the Facebook object itself as an instance variable somewhere in memory so you can access it again (a property on a singleton controller, perhaps?).
Spawning dialogs from an authenticated Facebook object appears to let them use the dialog without reauthenticating iff you have a [FBSession activeSession]. So you'd also have to maintain an active FB session. But I'm not sure if this kind of solution will work since you didn't show specific code for how you're doing your web-based FB fetches.
