CNS Portrays False Attack on Hillary As Credible, Merely Disputed
The idea that Hillary Clinton's emails outed an Iranian nuclear scientist, thus leading to his execution by Iranian authorities, is a myth -- but don't tell CNSNews.com that.
An Aug. 8 CNS article by Susan Jones uncritically repeated Republican Sen. Tom Cotton's suggestion that scientist Shahram Amiri was executed because "in the e-mails that were on Hillary Clinton's private server, there were conversations among her senior advisers about this gentleman. That goes to show just how reckless and careless her decision was to put that kind of highly classified information a private server. I think her judgment is not suited to keep this country safe." Jones quotes from the emails, but none of them mention Amiri by name, nore do Cotton or Jones back up the suggestion that Iranians had access to Clinton's private server.
On Aug. 9, Patrick Goodenough frames the claim as a mere dispute between the Trump and Clinton campaigns after Trump latched onto it:
The execution of an Iranian nuclear scientist surfaced on the campaign trail Monday when Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump suggested that his Democratic rival's private server emails may have been linked to his death.
"Many people are saying that the Iranians killed the scientist who helped the U.S. because of Hillary Clinton's hacked emails," Trump tweeted, in reference to Shahram Amiri, executed last week according to the Iranian judiciary.
Clinton's use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state is a major controversy in her presidential campaign and Trump's tweet referred to reports that a couple of emails – among thousands released by the State Department in line with a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit – referred implicitly to Amiri.
The tweet drew a sharp retort from Nick Merrill, Clinton's traveling press secretary, who said the GOP nominee was presenting a fabrication, under the cover of what other, unnamed people supposedly are saying.
"'Many people are saying' = 'I made this up'" Merrill tweeted. "After a morning on the teleprompter, the muzzle was bound to come off." (Trump gave a major economic speech in Detroit earlier in the day, reading off a teleprompter.)
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), for one, has raised concerns about the emails on Clinton's private server in relation to Amiri's fate.
Not only does Goodenough fail to offer any proof of Iranian access to Clinton's server, he failed to mention the crucial fact that there's no link whatsoever between Amiri and Clinton's emails.
A Washington Post article posted before Goodenough's article -- so he had no excuse not to reference it -- debunked claims of a connection:
There are several possible explanations as to why Amiri decided to go home and face the judgment of the Iranian justice system, which concluded he was a traitor. The Iranian government may have threatened his wife and 7-year old son. He may have hated life on the run. He may have had a change of heart.
But there's no reasonable connection between the discussion of Amiri's case on email by Clinton's staff to Amiri's eventual execution. There's no evidence her server was hacked. The Iranians knew all about Amiri well before the emails were released publicly. His kidnapping story never held water and his fate was sealed long before his sentence was carried out.
An Aug. 9 Washington Post fact-check by Glenn Kessler was even more definitive:
As can be seen with this timeline of newspaper articles, the defection and then return of Amiri was widely covered in the news media in 2009 and 2010. Iranian officials could have learned everything they needed to know about Amiri's defection from reading The Post. Moreover, Iran first publicly raised questions about his disappearance. There was little to be learned from the cryptic messages in Clinton's emails, even if Iran had somehow gained access to Clinton's server.
Mystery solved! And four more Pinocchios for Donald Trump.
Will Goodenough correct his article? Will Jones explain to her readers that Cotton was wrong? Will CNS admit it's promoting a false, politically motivated attack and that it knows it's false? Does CNS even care about publishing fair and accurate journalism?
WND Tries, Fails To Raise Questions About Hillary's Health Again
For months now, WorldNetDaily has attacked Hillary Clinton by forwarding armchair analyses by so-called health experts who have never examined her (and Dolly Kyle) pontificating on Hillary's purportedly fragile health. Well, as part of WND's effort to avoid discussing Donald Trump's mental health issues, it got to do so again in an unbylined article regurgitating dubious speculation by other dubious right-wing websites:
In this heated presidential race where being "fit" and "stable" have become terms in the arsenal of both campaigns, startling photographs emerged Sunday showing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton apparently getting help in climbing up some stairs.
The photos, published by the Reuters and Getty news agencies, show Mrs. Clinton, 68, receiving help as she tries to ascend a staircase in front of a home. The images were actually taken in February when the former first lady was campaigning for president in South Carolina.
The popular Drudge Report splashed a banner headline Sunday evening that stated, "2016: Hillary conquers the stairs."
Reporter Kyle Olson of the American Mirror asked in a brief article about the new photos on the stairs, "At what point is the mainstream media going to question Clinton's health status?"
Of course, a six-month-old of Hillary being helped up stairs proves absolutely nothing -- not that WND will ever admit it, of course. As the Washington Post' David Weigel pointed out, this barrage was part of how "the Drudge Report, WorldNetDaily and a small army of would-be Twitter sleuths tried to build the case that the Democratic nominee for president has serious health issues and only they had noticed."
Weigel goes on to further bust WND:
Indeed, for other websites critical of Clinton, the "stairs" photo was just one part of a #HillarysHealth mosaic. It gave WorldNetDaily a hook to resurrect "a July 21 video posted on YouTube [which] shows Clinton's head suddenly turning and shaking vigorously for several seconds." That video, titled "Hillary Clinton has seizure/convulsions - tries to play it off making fun of seizures," was also robbed of its context. Two clips of Clinton bobbing her head had been looped and slowed down, as ominous music and voice-overs played behind them — a combination that helped the clip score 1.4 million views.
The clip wasn't from July 21, and (as the scrum of media should have indicated) it wasn't rescued from pro-Clinton censors. It was from June 10, when Clinton, fresh off a series of wins that effectively locked up the Democratic nomination, held a few events ahead of the District of Columbia's primary. Beat reporters followed Clinton to a coffee shop in the Shaw neighborhood; CNN's Dan Merica, to her left, asked her about the breaking news of President Obama's official endorsement. Then, to her right, the Associated Press's Lisa Lerer asked a question about Elizabeth Warren, whom Clinton had met with as vice presidential speculation swirled.
The reporters, who had covered Clinton for a year, interpreted her exaggerated head-bobbing as a joke at how she'd been suddenly surrounded — and as a successful attempt at ending the scrum. It did not occur to them that it would become seen as evidence of a "seizure," as people suffering from seizures do not typically laugh and continue to hold cups of coffee.
In WorldNetDaily's coverage, the evidence that Clinton's bobble-head moment resembled a seizure is that bloggers said it did.
WND's article, meanwhile, devolves into a rehash of its previous attempt to avoid talking about Trump's mental health issues by trying to raise questions about Clinton's mental health -- which is lazy padding and, frankly kinda sad.No wonder WND is in financial trouble.

Strange Humming Sound Returns to Sweden
strange sounds
While "Swedish hum" sounds like what you do when you don't know the words to an ABBA song (how is THAT possible?), it's actually a mysterious and somewhat seasonal noise heard often in Sweden in multiple locations and generally in the winter (yes, Sweden does have other seasons that last longer than a week). What's causing these strange sounds and will they be in the next Mama Mia! movie?
"It was a constant sound, it was as if the sound gave vibrations in the air. It was for about 45 minutes and then it was very slow as if the sound moved somewhere else."
That's from the YouTube site of Rene Krupinksi, which seems to be fast becoming a repository of Swedish hums and other strange Scandinavian sounds. Krupinksi was describing a sound he heard and recorded (hear it here) in December 2017 – a sound that went on for 45 minutes and felt to him as if it was surrounding him rather than coming from any definitive direction. The recording has been making the rounds again recently, indicating it still hasn't been resolved.
"Early morning in Gothenburg in Sweden i heard this strange trumpet sound. People was looking up when the sound came."
That trumpet sound (hear it here) was recorded on August 10, 2018.
"I have heard this sound many times, i the middle of the night at at day time. I was reading in the news, the same sound was too in US and England at same time, and it was raported and many people have taking contact to the police to ask. No one knows what it was, but it also was in northern Germany and Denmark."
To compete the strange sound triple-play of hum, trumpet and boom, Krupinksi uploaded a recording of a boom in Germany he claims to have also heard himself. How is it that one person has personally experienced so many strange sounds? Looking at the rest of his YouTube page, Krupinksi appears to be a fan of (and possibly a producer of) electronic music. Perhaps he just has a sensitive ear and recording equipment ready at a moment's notice to capture the sounds.
"Strange trumpet sound in the sky!!! (trying to film the aurora in the sky). At 2.34 in this vid, the sound is very close. I was experimenting with my camera this evening to film northern lights."
Or perhaps he lives in the right place. In his comment on an April 2018 recording (hear it here), Krupinksi reveals he was watching the Northern Lights when he heard a trumpet sound. Researchers admit that so-called 'aurora sounds' frequently occur during northern lights activities. However, they're generally short sounds ranging from crackles to machine gun bursts to claps and booms. Because the intensity of these solar magnetic disturbances varies, the sounds are different as well.
That 'sounds' reasonable … except to the millions of people in the north who hear the sounds in the Northern Lights off-season, or in the south where there's no aurora borealis at all. There's obviously more to these mysterious hums, trumpets and booms than meets the ear. Help solve the mystery by following the example of Rene Krupinksi and spending time outside with audio and video recording devices.
You may want to warn your neighbors first.

Q: Get delete event of edited element I am trying to simulate the (not existing) change event for a contentEditable element (but I guess it is the same problem for an input element). Unfortunately I don't know how to fetch the event when the user selected some text and chose "Delete" from the context menu in the browser.
Any suggestions how I could get that?

A: Revised answer, 8 June 2012
What you want is the HTML5 input event. However, this currently only works in WebKit for contenteditable elements but hopefully will be implemented in other browsers too: Firefox 14 will apparently have it. It's already implemented in all major browsers for text inputs and textareas.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/timdown/5e5E5/1/
HTML:

...

JS:
var editableDiv = document.getElementById("test");

editableDiv.addEventListener("input", function(evt) {
    alert("Editable content changed");
}, false);

For a cross-browser solution, you can use some of the various DOM mutation events (also see MDN) that will be fired. I'd suggest DOMCharacterDataModified and possibly DOMNodeRemoved will be the useful ones for this purpose.
Note that these events do not exist in IE <= 8. Furthermore, these events are deprecated in favour of DOM4 Mutation Observers. However, at the time of writing (June 2012), only very recent WebKit browsers support this, so for the short to medium term we're stuck with mutation events as a fallback at minimum.
editableDiv.addEventListener("DOMCharacterDataModified", function(evt) {
    if (evt.newValue.length < evt.prevValue.length) {
        alert("Characters deleted");
    }
}, false);

Hindu goddess sunk in Thames
Tuesday October 03 2006, 1.00am, The Times
Hindus submerge a statue of the goddess Durga — a symbol of female power — in the Thames at Putney Bridge to celebrate the end of their lunar festival. The 10ft statue was commissioned by the British Museum for its Bengal season.
Water from the Ganges, where images of Dugra are usually submerged, was sprinkled on the Thames to purify it. The "drowning", in which the statue dissolves, represents release of the goddess's spirit.

One of the most important aspects of healthy living is getting a good night's sleep. When the human body is resting, it is busy healing and repairing from all of the activities during the day.

The Orgone Biomat™ is a sleep system which fits perfectly on a King or Queen bed. It blends the far infrared and negative ion benefits of Richway's original Amethyst Biomat® in an affordable, light-weight pad to create the perfect sleep environment.

Detoxi™ Salt is much different than your typical table salt. It is special treated using ancient techniques originating from a Buddhist temple thirteen hundred years ago, to create a superior quality ionized salt. The high temperature process eliminates toxins and chemicals and produces a salt that contains many essential minerals and micro-nutrients like magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and zinc.
Ideally, a human body will maintain 0.9% salinity which is associated with a state of health. Because of the unique processes to create Detoxi™ Salt it is ionized which allows the salt to be fully absorbed into the body. This helps to maintain healthy cells and keep you hydrated during thermotherapy sessions, like when you use a Biomat® (of course, you'll need to drink lots of water too, when using the Biomat ®).

New "myth-buster" guide to support women in interventional radiology
Thursday 3 December 2020
The RCR and the British Society of Interventional Radiology (BSIR) have created a "myth busting" guide to encourage more women to train as interventional radiologists.
While more than half of medical graduates are female, women are under-represented in interventional radiology (IR).
The RCR's most recent radiologist census revealed that only one-in-ten consultant interventional radiologists are women (11 per cent), compared with four-in-ten consultant diagnostic radiologists (41 per cent). A 2018 survey by the Cardiovascular Interventional Radiological Society of Europe found that exposure to radiation, particularly during reproductive years, and the perceived lack of work-life balance has made the subspecialty less attractive to prospective radiology trainees.
To encourage and support more women training in IR, the RCR and BSIR have created Women in Interventional Radiology: Insights into the Subspecialty, aimed at interested undergraduates, foundation doctors and trainee radiologists.
The leaflet features commentary from women in IR working across the UK and at various stages in their careers, addressing common myths and queries about IR training, such as access to flexible training, radiation exposure risks and working in what has been a traditionally male-dominated medical sub-specialty.
The contributors also give general advice about getting into the subspecialty and the professional satisfaction they have experienced through a career in IR.
Dr Rosemina Ahmad, Chair of the BSIR Women and Diversity Committee and one of the guide authors, said:
"This is a landmark document in terms of providing a clear focus on and for women in IR.
"The support from the RCR and BSIR has been invaluable in highlighting the importance of recruiting women into IR, so that we have the very best talent and provide doctors that reflect our local communities.
"Role models are incredibly important in shaping career choices and I hope the experiences of women in IR are both motivating and inspiring to readers and highlight that women can and do succeed in this rapidly advancing field of image-guided surgery."

What is a Backcourt Violation in Basketball?
By admin January 3, 2022 January 3, 2022 info
In basketball, a backcourt violation is an infraction committed by the offensive team in their own half of the court. This type of violation refers to two minor infractions that keep the game's pace exciting and equalize scoring opportunities. Here is the complete breakdown of a backcourt violation in basketball.
What is the Backcourt?
The backcourt is a team's defensive zone or the half with their basket. Meanwhile, the frontcourt is the offensive zone or half around the opposing team's basket. Generally speaking, you will see the home team's logo in the center of the court that helps separate the two sides.
What are the Two Types of Backcourt Violations in Basketball?
When a team commits a backcourt violation, it's usually one of two infractions. There is either an eight or ten-second foul or an over-and-back violation.
What is the Eight Second Violation in Basketball?
The eight-second rule is the first backcourt violation. This rule states that a team possessing the ball must dribble in under eight seconds from the backcourt to the frontcourt. This rule only applies to professional leagues, like the NBA or FIBA.
In the NCAA, WNBA, and high school basketball, teams have a 10 second time limit to cross the halfcourt line. Commonly, you will hear fans refer to this backcourt violation rule as either the eight or ten-second rule.
What is the Over and Back Violation in Basketball?
Since teams have to cover so much ground in such a short time, some players may feel the pressure to pass frequently. The over and back violation restricts where a player with control of the ball can pass. After a team passes the halfcourt line and establishes frontcourt status, they cannot pass the ball back into the backcourt.
What are the Reasons a Backcourt Violation Call Won't Occur?
There are some situations where teams may not receive a backcourt violation. For example, if a foul causes a stoppage of time, players may have additional time to cross halfcourt with the ball. Similarly, if a team throws the ball inbound at center court, they may pass it to a player in their backcourt without causing a violation. This throw is a throw-in during a basketball game and results from a foul.
What Happens When a Team Commits a Backcourt Violation?
The penalty for backcourt violations is relatively mild compared to other infractions during a basketball game. When a backcourt violation occurs, the game time stops, and the offensive team relinquishes control of the ball to the defensive team on the court. The team receiving the ball can then throw it in at the halfcourt line to start their offensive drive to resume play.
Why Are Backcourt Violations Important in Basketball?
Backcourt violations are essential for encouraging offensive possession and scoring in basketball. Without these plays, it would be possible for offensive players to pass wherever they want, spreading defensive teams thin.
How Do Teams Draw up Defensive Plays in the Backcourt?
Specific teams use the over and back rule to their advantage by implementing defensive strategies that limit passing opportunities. These include the half and full-court traps. These schemes involve defensive players blocking or trapping offensive players in their backcourt, limiting how many teammates can receive a pass.
Running these defensive schemes can force offensive players to take a risky shot at the basket or attempt a pass that would draw a backcourt violation. Since these plays often result in a turnover, it's an excellent way for players to defend their half of the court.
What is the History of the Backcourt Violation?
Since the 10-second rule uses the shot clock, many fans often think that it had to come after major basketball leagues adopted the shot clock. However, that's not true. The 10-second rule is one of the earliest rules in basketball, coming in 1933 (the association didn't adopt the shot clock until 1954.)
Initially, the ten-second rule was called the "time line." The "time line" meant that you had a specific amount of time to pass the halfcourt line. FIBA rulebook changed the backcourt violation rule from 10 seconds to eight seconds in 2000, and the NBA followed a year later.
What is the History of the Over and Back Rule?
The over and back rule has been in practice in professional basketball for a long time. It has also undergone many adaptations to help protect the game's flow.
For example, if a defensive player hits the ball into a team's backcourt, an offensive player can retrieve it without penalty. Unlike the eight-second rule, the over and back rule does have some opening for referee discretion. This means that an official can miss or waive a call if they don't feel that it's warranted.
Does the WNBA, NCAA, and High School Still Use the 10-Second Rule?
The WNBA, NCAA, and high school basketball have a 10-second rule. Today, they use the shot clock to count the ten seconds, which helps fans and referees see how much time remains before a violation. Players and refs hardly miss the call since this rule follows the shot clock, and everyone can see it.
Conclusion: What is a Backcourt Violation in Basketball?
Like most violations in basketball, the two rules that fall under the category of backcourt violations are put in place to keep the game moving and encourage teams to make more offensive plays. While these violations don't result in free throws, like other fouls might, they can have severe consequences for groups.
If a player or team commits a backcourt violation, they have to give up control of the ball. Giving up the ball gives teams on defense an excellent opportunity to change the game's pace.
Next time you watch basketball, pay attention to how much time it takes a player to cross midcourt with the ball and where they pass. You might catch a backcourt violation yourself!

Contact Tracing and COVID-19: Lessons From HIV
There are differences between HIV and COVID-19, but some lessons still hold true.
Rose Saxe,
she/her,
Deputy Director, LGBT & HIV Project,
As we enter the next phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, attention is turning to contact tracing. States and cities are gearing up to hire thousands of people to help identify and notify those who may have been exposed to the virus, in an effort to help reduce rates of transmission and keep the virus from growing exponentially within a community. The hope is that expanded testing will allow health departments to identify those who have the virus, and then reach out to anyone those people have been in close contact with and encourage those individuals to self-quarantine and get tested.
We are being assured that our state health departments know how to do this, as it has been used with other communicable diseases, including HIV. While some comparisons being drawn between HIV and COVID-19 are often over-simplified, there are important things to learn from the public health response to HIV that should guide the implementation of widespread contact tracing for COVID-19.
Contact tracing requires at least two key things to succeed: People must be willing to provide this information, and people must be able to act on it. To make that possible, health and contact information must be protected from unnecessary disclosure. We must also ensure that anyone who is required to self-isolate as a result of contact tracing has the resources to do so, and that criminalization never enters the picture. It is folly to expect anyone to identify close contacts if the consequence will be that they are ordered to stay home, in some cases leaving them with no way to support themselves and their loved ones. It is even less likely people will share information if it could expose themselves, their friends, or family to risk of arrest.
There are some major differences between HIV and COVID-19 that bear on the relative balance of civil liberties and public health interests inherent to assessing any public health response. HIV is not spread through casual contact, whereas COVID-19 is. And unlike HIV, there are currently no treatments for COVID-19 that reduce viral load to the point that people cannot transmit the disease. That means the universe of potential contacts is much greater with respect to COVID-19. On the other hand, COVID-19 seems to have a relatively short incubation period – which means that only contacts from within a several week window of time after a person tests positive are relevant.
There are also some important similarities: Both viruses can be spread by people who are asymptomatic and do not know their status. Both viruses are having a more devastating impact on already marginalized communities, including communities of color. And with both epidemics, we have seen scapegoating and blame, and egregious disparities in enforcement of public health restrictions by police.
With those caveats, here are some critical lessons we can draw from our response to HIV:
Contact tracing is one tool, not a solution.
We should not have unrealistic expectations for contact tracing. Despite a long-standing program of partner notification for people diagnosed with HIV, new HIV transmission continues to occur. Ending HIV stigma and ensuring access to health care for all have proven vital for effective HIV prevention. Contact tracing may be one component of effective prevention for COVID-19, but we must not lose sight of other important aspects of responding to the crisis.
Maintaining trust is vital.
To be effective, contact tracing and notifications require trust. To build enough trust for people to provide information about all contacts of more than 10-15 minutes over the past two weeks, we must give them clear information about what information will be collected, how it will be kept secure, how it will be used, and what resources will be provided to anyone ordered to self-quarantine. Without trust, not only will people be less likely to share their contacts, but they will also be less likely to seek testing in the first place and to follow other recommendations from public health officials.
To that end, contact tracing information must only be used for public health purposes, and clear restrictions must be put in place so it cannot be used by law enforcement, including for immigration purposes. Without those restrictions, already vulnerable communities may be less likely to provide information about their contacts, thereby exacerbating inequality by increasing infection rates within those communities.
Privacy and anonymity must be protected.
We must ensure the privacy and anonymity of people who test positive for COVID-19 is protected as much as possible during notifications. This means that when people are told they may have been in contact with someone with COVID-19 and should self-quarantine, they should receive only the information they really need. We want to avoid situations where individuals with COVID-19 are blamed for the ensuing restrictions on others' liberty that may follow their positive test. That is partly why nobody should be coerced into participating in a contact tracing effort.
When people are told to self-isolate or quarantine, they must receive the resources they need to support themselves and their families, without risk of losing their jobs, housing, or health insurance. They also must have access to COVID-19 testing, and health care if they need it.
We will also need to work to protect the security of all data collected through both in-person contact tracing and any technology-based tracing. Again, we can learn from experiences with HIV, where we know that data breaches happen as a result of both malice and human error.
Criminalization is never the answer.
One of the most important lessons from HIV is that we must not rely on the criminal legal system to solve this epidemic. Nearly all states have enacted laws that made exposing another to HIV a crime. Some criminalize conduct with no risk of transmission, like spitting. And most of these laws don't consider intent or actual risk. These laws are still on the books today. They have upended lives and have not stopped the epidemic. In fact, just last month a Louisiana man was reportedly charged with a felony for allegedly trying to spit on a police officer while living with HIV, even though we have known for decades that HIV cannot be transmitted through saliva.
Criminalization does not stop HIV. Instead, it deters people from testing, it increases risk, and it falls most heavily on the people who are already more heavily policed, including people of color, immigrants, people who engage in sex work, LGBTQ people, and more. Incarceration itself also worsens people's health and interferes with prevention. For COVID-19, the health consequences of expanding incarceration are especially disastrous.
Any restrictions must be based on the best available evidence and regularly reevaluated.
Finally, any restrictions imposed in conjunction with contact tracing or follow up to diagnosis need to be based on best available evidence, and only as restrictive as is necessary. They should be re-evaluated as our understanding of the virus grows, and treatment and testing options change. We know that sometimes those restrictions can be more burdensome than necessary, inequitable, and may perpetuate stigma, shame, and blame.
Contact tracing may offer promise. But for it to have any chance of success, it must be implemented in a way that is just and equitable and does not exacerbate existing inequalities.

Q: ColVis doesn't work even with minimum configuration I am trying to get ColVis option to work in my datatables.
My initialisation code is this (minimum configuration)
$('#'+id).dataTable( {
    "sDom": 'C<"clear">lfrtip'
} );

But it does show the 'show/hide' button (no errors in console). See my table below:

Has anyone encountered this behavior? How can I debug and find where the problem is?
PS:

*

*Other addons like TableTools work ok on this table.

*My JQuery version is 1.9.1

*My Datatables version is 1.9.4

UPDATE

*

*Updated my JQuery version to 1.10.1 but it doesn't solve the problem

Thanks

A: I've never had this problem. Try using your browser inspector to inspect element and then you'd be able to see if all the right classes have been added to the 'show / hide' button.
You should have this:
http://screencast.com/t/EEff9ti9zLKi
After clicking the 'show / hide' button to open the dropdown you would normally then get a bunch of extra data appended at the end of the document, right before < /body> It would look like this:
http://screencast.com/t/kQ70IxJg7j
Check to make sure that no html is being appended when you click the 'show / hide' (re: second screencast) that at least gives you a start into your debugging voyage.
For another sanity test you can try using an alternate ColVis.js file like this one:
https://github.com/drewstaylor/colvis-extras/blob/master/colvis.extras.js
It was used to take those screencasts so you know it's working.


This report examines how the California's 2.16 million Black residents (6 percent of total population) are faring in higher education attainment compared with other racial/ethnic groups. While Black Californians have improved their education outcomes over the last couple of decades, they still experience significant opporunity gaps. The report calls for a concerted, strategic effort to produce better educational outcomes for Black students including a new statewide plan for California higher education, a redesign of pre-college level courses, re-enrollment of adults with some college but no degree, and allowing public universities to use race/ethnicity as one of many considerations in their admissions process.

Helligators – Hell III
Review by Alun Jones
Listening to "Hell III" – the new Helligators release – and you can almost smell the Cajun cookin' and moonshine brewing. This is greasy, crazy biker rock from the southern states. No doubt Helligators have fine-tuned their art in a roadhouse shack just off some dusty highway, the sounds of the bayou just inches away. The heat and the trees, the swamp and the…
What? They're from where? Like Rome, Florida or something? What, actual Rome? In Italy? Oh. Well ya could'a fooled me!
Yes, Helligators are from Rome, Italy – though my first listen to this album had me thinking of something far more Corrosion of Conformity in origin. "Hell III" is powerful, dirty hard rock with just a hint of stoner metal, big melodies and southern charm. But not southern USA charm, apparently…
Anyway, this third album from the band blows the doors off with the huge, raucous rampage of 'Rebellion' – a great start to the album. It reeks of attitude and speeds out of the gates in a Motörhead fashion.
Following tracks 'Here To Stay' and 'Bleeding' apply the brakes slightly, but are just as crushingly relentless. This is big chunky guitar territory; guitars courtesy of Kamo and El Santo are head bangingly infectious and also intricate when called for.
There's a definite change of pace with the almost bluesy 'Where I Belong' – but by Jupiter, the chorus is monstrous. The skilled vocals of Simone "Dude" have a versatility that keep everything together and has class enough to avoid a parmesan power ballad stench.
Helligators are certainly stretching their creativity with this album. 'The Prison (Confession Pt 1)' and 'Gone (Confession Pt 2)' demonstrate an ability to develop an epic suite of music. Meanwhile, the instrumental 'Bassthard Session' also shows the rhythm section – Alex (drums) and Pinna (Bass) to full effect.
But it's the fast, super charged Rock'N'Roll of total bangers like 'Born Again' and 'Pedal To The Metal' that are the great prize here. Hard rock that's loud and fun – Helligators came, saw and conquered all.
Did I tell you about the time I was in Italy with Ozzy, on tour in 81? I took him and the band to a restaurant after the gig for some quality Italian grub. Ozzy was off his tits and thought the spaghetti was worms, and tried to snort them. It ended with food everywhere and Ozzy pissing up the walls. I had a right job apologising to the manager and sorting everything out. Ozzy – lovely bloke; absolute liability.

EMQ's with WILD PLANES
Hi Everyone. Welcome to our new EMQ's interview with New York City based Rock 'N' Roll band Wild Planes! Huge thanks to drummer Andre Jevnik for taking part!
What is your name, what do you play and can you tell us a little bit about the history of the band?
Hey what's up y'all! My name is Andre Jevnik and I play drums in the wildest band around, Wild Planes. Kris Carmello is the lead singer/guitarist and James Hoag is the Bass man in the band.
The band was founded by Kris and myself a long while ago in community college. It took us some time to find the right members and get things off the ground. We started to get some bigger shows in the New York area which then really got us in gear to find the right mix of members. After some auditioning, we found Jimmy. Well, Jimmy actually found me (Andre) about a year prior to us looking for members. Long story short, luckily we knew Jimmy but hadn't spoken in a year. There was instant chemistry once we started to perform and write music.
How did you come up with your band name?
So, the name….we had another name similar to what we have now. At the time, we were changing it and had some Facebook likes that we didn't want to use. Of course Facebook doesn't make it easy to make changes, the only way we can keep the page and change our name is if we have a near name to the already existing band name. This sounds super confusing, but it's the way it is.
While we were figuring this out, my mother came up with "Wild Planes" and we ran with it
What country are you from and what is the Metal/Rock scene like there?
We are from New York, New York in United States Of America! Depending on the state you're in, the music scene is rich with talent or super flooded like any other scene. The New York scene is pretty cool, lots of indie rock, indie pop and so on. Our neighbouring state New Jersey has a lot of rock/metal in the areas. We play all over and our music fits with Alt Rock, Indie Rock plus Hard Rock. We prefer to travel though and get our feet wet in other cities/states because we get to see what's out there.
What is your latest release? (Album, EP, Single or Video)
Our latest release is a 5 song EP called "Singin 'N' Slingin". This is our best piece of work we have released thus far. The boys and I truly feel it has the most eclectic influences inside the writing of the songs. We are big fans of all the great bands, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Grand Funk Railroad, Black Sabbath etc: and we feel that we really did mix all of them up to make it our own. All in all, we wrote music that we want to hear. This EP pumps us up before shows, going out on the town, even just getting the day started. It's pretty awesome when you can listen to your own music and be like…"wow, I can't believe this is us!"
Who have been your greatest influences?
We love all the great rock bands that put a good stank in the air. Like I was saying before, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin are what we listen to day in and day out. Of course there are so many bands/artists we love and to name em all would take up this entire article. For us though, groovin, cool rock n roll never fails.
What first got you into music?
For each of us it's different, it was girls, being cool etc: but I can speak for all of us…I think. It's that first time you get a crowd of people to cheer for you, whether it be a solo at school or kids in your class thinking your awesome banging on the desks. When people look at you and are like "woah" it makes you want to pursue it even more. Once you get that taste of rock n roll, you want it all the time, there's no going back.
If you could collaborate with a current band or musician who would it be?
Jeez, this one is tough. As of now, while they are alive… AC/DC. If we could rock a song with those dudes, wow that would be amazing!
If you could play any festival in the world, which would you choose and why?
Rock In Rio, hands down! The people are there for one thing, ROCK N F*&$#@! ROLL!!
What's the weirdest gift you have ever received from a fan?
To my knowledge, we haven't really gotten any weird things. A lot of our friends and fans actually got us cool stuff like custom made flasks and stuff for our tour van. I will say, we have had some weird experiences on the road. Homeless people partying with us in our van, being stranded in a city with a dead phone cause you don't remember where the hotel is, closing out strip joints till 6am in the morning etc. etc: So many wild things have happened, all we can do is smile.
If you had one message for your fans, what would it be?
Have a good time all the time! We live one life people, one life. Everyone has their problems and issues but we can also have our fun too and live a little. Try to enjoy each day as it comes and motivate yourself to live stress free.
If you could bring one Metal/Rock star back from the dead, who would it be?
This one is a dooozy, BON SCOTT of AC/DC, damn what we would do to pick his brain about music and life. RIP Brotha!
What do you enjoy the most about being a musician? And what do you hate?
The best thing about being a musician is bringing joy to people through music we created. Of course we love the free alcohol, the girls etc. But besides that, it's the look on people's faces when they are having a genuine good time. It makes us so proud of what we do. When somebody takes the time to write a message via Instagram or an email thanking you for performing and moving them, it's truly a special feeling.
If you could change one thing about the music industry, what would it be?
The music industry is always changing and going through waves. I personally think it's in a good spot now. If we had to make a change, I guess it would be putting more time into new bands/artists even if they don't have the biggest following.
Name one of your all-time favourite albums?
Hmmm…."Let There Be Rock" – AC/DC
Killer record!
What's best? Vinyl, Cassettes, CD's or Downloads?
Definitely CD and Vinyl! But all of these ways of listening have their advantages. I'm not sure about Cassette only cause not too many people have them. Nowadays people are buying Vinyl again and CD's. Luckily they make cool new record players and even CD players too. Downloaded music is great for Bluetooth to the car and all that. I do think it's a shame that a lot of car companies don't even build CD players in their cars anymore! They better change that.
What's the best gig that you have played to date?
Best show so far was when we performed the ROCKLAHOMA festival two years in a row! So much fun, love you all out there in Oklahoma!
If you weren't a musician, what else would you be doing?
Ummm….probably dead. Rock n Roll is our way of life, no hobby.
Which five people would you invite to a dinner party?
We would send special invites to:
What's next for the band?
Next up, we will be playing a butt load of shows all over the east coast. We are promoting our new EP "Singin 'N' Slingin" and plan on some music videos for the songs within the next couple months. We will also have merch available on our website for people to buy. Then we will be hitting the studio and tracking a few more new tunes for winter 2020.
What Social Media/Website links do you use to get your music out to people?

Jaffa Cakes? Are they a cake or a biscuit?
Well, everyone knows they are a biscuit-sized cake 😉
Thank you for your time. Is there anything else that you would like to add?
We appreciate you and everyone reading this article! Thank you for the support and we hope to see y'all on the road, cheers! Let's get wild!

Swilson – Swilson
Vanishing Point Records
Review by Tsarina Wilson
Swilson are a rock 'n' roll band from New Jersey and Los Angeles, formed in 2009, and October 2018 saw them unleash their self-titled album.
Swilson say "this album isn't just an album, it's a doorway." It certainly had a good vibe for me and had me dancing around while listening to it. It's a high energy, upbeat, full on album. There are no 7 minutes plus songs, just short, punchy, energy hitting tracks.
"Swilson" was produced by Dean Rispler (The Dictators NYC, Ross The Boss, The Wizards) and engineered, mixed and mastered by Jesse Cannon (Dillinger Escape Plan, The Cure, Man Overboard)
The band consists of Stephen on Guitar and Vocals, Squeaky Dave on Stun Guitar, Dean Rispler on Bass, Chris Orlando on Drums and Seth Meisterman as Minster of Propaganda.
The album represents the progression of their attitude and line up, as the band explains; "Just like there have been many versions of you, there have been also been many Swilsons" but I think no matter the changes, this recording is a great representation of what these guys are capable of.
There is not a dull moment on the whole album, and standout tracks for me would have to be 'Born In The Year Zero' a bassy, drum thumping track, and 'Axeman Of Your Dreams' which is almost menacing with lyrics such as "a Rolex on a severed hand" and "revenge is not enough." There is an immense guitar solo which blends into the background, only to punch its way back out again. Just outstanding!
Any track that can stop me typing and get me tapping the side of the keyboard is a good one in my eyes and 'Stoned In Blood' did just that. It is definitely a car window down and on full blast sort of track. 'Witchcraft 2018' has to be my favourite though as the nonstop beat track is a ride from beginning to end. It is full of energy and, to be fair, most of them are. I wish I could bottle their vigour and sell it, I would make a fortune! Check out 'Wizard King' and you will understand exactly what I mean.
I also get a real punky vibe from some of the tracks, almost Public Image Limited thrown together with the Clash and a hint of Iggy Pop but with a definite rock beat. It truly is a great package!
Although the album isn't long at approximately 33 minutes for 12 tracks, it is nonstop from track one. I will definitely look forward to hearing more from these guys in the future.

Trevor and The Wolves – Road to Nowhere
Nadir Music
Review by Dawn "The Metal Priestess" King
Finding background on the band Trevor and the Wolves is not easy. There seems to be precious little information on the world wide web and the small bit that can be found, is mostly written in Italian!
Trevor and The Wolves is the side project of death metal band Sadist's vocalist, Trevor Sadist, and this album couldn't be more different if it tried.
Featuring a number of special guests including Christian Meyer (Elio E Le Storie Tese), Stefano Cabrera (Gnu Quartet), Paolo Bonfanti, Grazia Quaranta, Francesco Chinchella and Daniele Barbarossa (Winterage), the new album Road to Nowhere was recorded at the Italian Nadir Music Studios in Genoa, under the expert supervision of Tommy Talamanca as producer.
With obvious influences from the hard rock end of the rock and metal spectrum, this is a good old-fashioned rock and roll album. Its simplistic in style but that in no way takes away from the appeal of the music.
Think the Brian Johnson era of AC/DC, mix it with a bit of Motörhead and Saxon, and you are somewhere close to what this band sound like. I am not a HUGE fan of any of the just mentioned bands, but I do like this album. The rough vocals of Trevor are ideally suited to this type of rock, there are riffs galore and at just under fifty minutes in length, there is plenty to get your listening gear round.
The guitar solos are simple yet expertly executed and you can just imagine the drummer and bass player bouncing around the stage keeping everyone in time. I personally love to see musicians making music other than what they are known for and, having listened to a bit of Sadist just for comparison purposes, this is nothing like what Trevor is known for.
With enough grit and gravel to line all the roads in England during a cold snap of weather, I think this is a must for any hard rock fan's collection. Slightly heavier than AC/DC, it still has the party feel about it and will certainly have you bounding round your living room strutting your stuff on your air guitar!

Deadheads – This One Goes to 11
Review by Vikkie 'Queen of Rock' Richmond
I confess to having never heard of Swedish four-piece, Deadheads, although "This One Goes to 11" is their third album. Labelling themselves as 'energetic rock and roll', this band are all that and more; this album is eleven tracks of frenetically paced, good time rock which was fairly infectious to listen to.
The first track, 'Black Out' gallops along with brattish guitars and a thumping pace and although it was light on lyrics with a repetitive chorus, it certainly stuck in my brain for a while after listening.
I found a punkish element to next song, 'Don't Mind The Ghost', which featured a simple hook and echoing vocals; in fact, pretty much all of the songs had a punk feel to them, with some nice keyboard/piano work showing on 'Manic Mondays'.
The pace slowed a little with 'Too Lost To Be Found', which had a real vintage flavour to it and was one of my more favoured tracks on the album. I particularly liked the last track, 'Status Low'; it wasn't vastly different to the other songs, but I enjoyed the lyrics and the key changes made it feel a little less mad and ever so slightly more laid back.
I think if you take the time to listen to this album five or six times in a row, you will probably find nuances and changes from song to song; just listening to it twice through, it sounded kind of samey in places.
Quality and production-wise, the sound is a little muffled on some tracks – whether that was intentional, I'm not sure, but it was a bit irritating in places. Deadheads have been touring on and off in Europe, so perhaps they will be popping up on the UK festival circuit next year. I'd make a point of catching them live if I can; the songs are infectious and carry a certain amount of punk groove, so it would be interesting to see how that translates onto a live stage.

Q: VPN (Windows 7) & local (physical) network access I've set up a VPN (on a synology server) located at my home, to which I connect using the windows 7 VPN (PPTP connection).
When I connect to the VPN while at work, I can see my external IP address changing (for my home IP), and I can access my home LAN ressources (my router for instance). However, I can still access the "network shares" of my work (which is normally impossible from my home LAN. To access these shares from an external network, I need to use my work VPN).
My home LAN is configured on the  192.168.1.x network, the VPN is configured with the 10.0.0.x network, and my work network is configured on the 192.168.17.x range.
Is is because the work network is configured through a Windows Domain? I tried disabling the wifi connection (but I don't think it has anything to do with it).
I would like to make sure that when connected to this VPN, I am completely "outside" of the work network, and being able to access my work shares indicates that it's not fully the case.

A: Your VPN client is implementing a feature known as Split Tunneling. This allows the VPN to route traffic destined for the remote network put the VPN miniport virtual network adapter and into the VPN tunnel, but to send traffic for all other locations out the physical NIC to the physical LAN. If you disable split tunneling, all traffic from your machine will cross the VPN link to the remote network.
On windows they don't make it easy to disable split tunneling, because its handled by the order in which network interfaces are bound. The Cisco VPN client makes it much easier (just a checkbox), but for windows, it involves a registery hack. see more here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/19d54ebd-a7f8-4ded-8204-7ba35034fc90/vpn-doesnt-respect-advanced-network-setting?forum=w7itpronetworking
Personally, I'd recommend using the Cisco or other VPN client.


Are you thinking about selling your home sometime soon? Would you like to get more money when you sell it than you originally paid for it? If so, don't spend tons of money upgrading your kitchen and bathrooms. Instead, consider focusing on upgrading your patio!
Patio construction in Kansas City has proven time and time again to give homeowners the best ROI when it comes time to sell their property. Here are just a few of the reasons why buyers want to purchase homes that have patios—especially new and upgraded ones.
Folks looking to buy a house always try to find homes with tons of living space. That makes sense—people want to be able to spread out and feel comfortable in their new home. You could increase your living space by remodeling or adding a room, but that can get pretty expensive rather quickly. Instead of increasing space indoors, why not expand your current patio and bring the party outside? Installing a patio with a kitchen, fire pit and seating area is practically like adding a whole new room without worrying about plumbing, electricity, insulation and all of the other hassles of remodeling.
It's tough to beat hosting a summer barbecue! The burgers are juicy, the drinks are cold and the music is lively. Make your outdoor barbecue dreams a reality by expanding your current patio space. It's tough to host a truly great cookout if your patio is small, cramped and outdated. Be sure you can invite everyone over for a good time by upgrading your patio today. Talk to our professionals about adding an entire outdoor kitchen to your new patio. You won't need to settle for simple burgers when you could be making full meals outside!
Your lush backyard is probably full of beautiful flowers and trees. While it certainly looks nice, all of that landscaping isn't going to be quite enough to set your yard apart from your neighbors next door. Enhance your backyard by upgrading your patio. We can take your simple sitting area to the next level by installing a fire pit or outdoor kitchen, or just redesigning your patio with new pavers to boost your patio's aesthetics. Give us a call today to learn more about all of our hardscaping services.

Wilde Life: the official Kim Wilde fansite
Forgive me
Song written by Uwe Fahrenkrog-Petersen, Gena Wernik & Kim Wilde.
Fourth track on the album Never say Never.
'Forgive me' was only performed live once, during a concert in Berlin on September 2, 2006.
Kim about 'Forgive me'
Kim: It was the song itself. I think 'Forgive me' required - the part that (Roxanne) sang was the voice of a planet. So how do you find the voice for a planet? I would say there's an innocence to her voice, a naivety but a strength as well. I felt she had the perfect voice for the part that talked back to humanity. She has all the innocence and what is beautiful about our planet but she's got a lot of strength as well. She spoke for our planet (laughs). She sings for our planet. She does it beautifully. I don't think anyone else could have sung it. (1)

Lyrics of 'Forgive me' in the cd booklet of 'Never say never'
(What have you done to me)
I want you to forgive me
Now's the time to look further to the future
On the line our planet's warnings go unheard
The world is sending an S.O.S. to us all
is sending an S.O.S. but her call
is lost in confusion as she falls
For all that we take
For all our mistakes
Please know that I want you to forgive me
For all that we waste
with so much at stake
Please know that I need you to forgive me
Don't say it's too late
That we've sealed your fate
Like a child you need our love and protection
Now defiled we all stand guilty of our crime
is lost in our greed for having it all
There's so much at stake
(Why don't you look after me)

Walter Stanborough Sutton, a cytologist and surgeon, was born Apr. 5, 1877. Sutton was a Kansas farmboy who enrolled at the University of Kansas (KU) in 1896 to study engineering, and then switched the next year to biology. He joined a research group that was studying the cells of the "lubber grasshopper", Brachystola magna, of which there was no shortage on the Great Plains. This particular species exhibits a chromosome group in which the chromosomes have marked differences in size, making them easier to track during cell division (first image). While he was mastering the peregrinations of grasshopper chromosomes, Mendel's papers on genetics were rediscovered in 1900, and Sutton set about trying to find a physical basis for Mendel's laws in the chromosomes of cells.
Sutton moved on to Columbia University, where he worked under Edmund Beecher Wilson, often considered America's first cell biologist. Sutton discovered that the chromosomes in his grasshopper cells behaved as if they were the carrier of Mendel's genes, replicating when cells divide, and splitting up when reproductive cells were produced. He wrote and published an article late in 1902 on grasshopper chromosomes (the source of our first image), and followed it in the same journal with a more general paper in 1903, "The Chromosomes in Heredity," which is considered one of the milestone works in genetics. It marks the birth of the chromosome theory of inheritance (although Sutton shares the credit with Theodor Boveri, who made the same discovery, independently, in 1904). The masthead of the Biological Bulletin, where Sutton's paper was published, is of interest. All of the present and future giants of genetics are there, as editors, including Thomas Hunt Morgan, who would later confirm Sutton's hypotheses with his own work on fruit flies.
After some further study at Columbia, Sutton returned to set up a surgical practice in Kansas City, also becoming associate professor of surgery at the new KU School of Medicine. He spent some time in France running a surgical hospital during the early days of World War I (fourth image).
However, not long after his return from France, in 1916, Sutton suffered a ruptured appendix, and he died, only 39 years old. Ironically, Sutton was then working on techniques to improve the survival chances of those with ruptured appendices. His papers are preserved in the archives of the Clendening Library at the KU School of Medicine.
One feature of Sutton's student days at KU will interest local Jayhawk fans. Sutton was a first-team member of the varsity basketball team, which had been founded in 1898 by James Naismith, the father of basketball. There survives a photograph of the 1899 team (fifth image). The man holding the basketball is Walter's brother, Will, who was the captain. The man just behind and to the right, and looking just like Will, is Walter Sutton. Naismith stands at far right.

What are the different types of biological therapy?
What is bacillus Calmette-Guerin therapy?
What is oncolytic virus therapy?
What is adoptive T-cell transfer therapy?
When is biological therapy used?
What are side effects of biological therapy?
Biological therapy is a treatment method that utilizes living organisms, materials based on living organisms or synthetic replicas of living organisms to combat the effects of cancer. These organism-based treatments are introduced to a cancer patient's body to stimulate the immune system into increasing its ability to combat cancer.
There are several different types of biological therapy, as although the basis of the treatments may remain rooted in living organisms, some methods of the therapy target different aspects of the cancerous cells.
Cancer is often able to develop because the immune system is unable to detect the abnormality that is the genetic mutation preceding cancer. Biological therapies work to increase the body's ability to identify the cancer abnormalities, allowing to to begin attacking the cancer growth.
To promote cancer identification, biological therapy will either work to introduce the immune system directly to the cancer cells or simply make it easier for cancer cells to be detected.
Methods that introduce the immune system to the cancer cells work by a number of ways including using chemicals that stimulate the immune system and training a sample of immune system cells to attack cancer cells before reintroducing them to the host body.
Biological therapy is not one specific form of cancer treatment, rather, it serves as a category covering several drug treatments that have been approved for use or are currently undergoing testing.
Treatments that qualify as forms of biological therapy each utilize different drugs with the goal of combating cancer in a different way. While all forms utilize the body's immune system to lead the attack against cancer, the manner in which they do so may differ.
According to the National Cancer Institute, the following are the most common or notable biological therapy cancer treatment methods.
Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) therapy is a form of biological therapy used to treat early-stage bladder cancer. BCG works through direct administration into the bladder through a catheter. Immune system cells attracted to the bladder become activated as they come into contact with BCG.
The cells introduced to BCG are then directed against all present bladder cancer cells. Although the reason for its effectiveness is not well documented, it is known that the treatment is often extremely effective as 70% of BCG users experience remission.
Oncolytic virus therapy is a form of biological therapy approved in October 2015 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to combat melanoma lesions in the skin and lymph nodes.
The therapy utilizes the oncolytic virus to infect the cells of the area in which cancer has began developing. The the virus does little to healthy cells but once it is inside a cancer cell it rapidly reproduces, overwhelming and killing the cancer.
While some forms of oncolytic viruses are naturally occurring – mumps and reovirus – most forms of this therapy use genetically engineered oncolytic viruses to create a treatment more able to target and destroy specific forms of cancer.
A major pitfall that medical researchers have attempted to remedy with oncolytic virus therapy is the tendency for the virus to be destroyed by the immune system before it has reached the cancer. Some of the solutions to this problem proposed by medical professionals include executing the therapy in conjunction with immune-suppressing chemotherapy drugs.
This treatment is not yet approved for use in the United States although a form of it was approved for use in China nearly a decade ago. Although not yet approved, clinical trials are still being pursued using the therapy to determine its efficacy.
Gene therapy is a form of biological treatment that utilizes the delivery of genetic material through a carrier – most commonly a virus. The genetic material that is then introduced to the cells genetic makeup work to target cancer cells or enhance cells ability to fight cancer.
This method is still under testing with little known about efficacy or safety. With the method not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, testing is still under the clinical trial category.
Adoptive cell transfer is a anticancer treatment still in the experimental stages that works to increase the ability of T cells to combat cancer. While still being researched, there are several forms of this therapy that may one day standard forms of cancer treatment.
The first of these forms involves harvesting cytotoxic T cells within a cancerous tumor, grow large populations of cells with antitumor activity, depleting a patients immune cells, and infusing the patient with the improved T cells.
Another form of this therapy involves isolating T cells from a blood sample, genetically modifying a cell, infusing the cell into a patient with depleted immune cells, and then allowing those cells to attach to antigens on the surface of the tumors which activates their ability to kill the cancer.
Most forms of biological therapy are not yet available for use by the public, especially in the United States. While other countries with softer approval criteria may employ limited use of some biological treatments, most treatments remain in the developmental stage.
However, with clinical trials continuing it is likely that understanding of biological therapy will grow in the coming years as it comes closer to becoming a mainstay in the effort to treat and eradicate cancer.
With most forms of biological therapy still in testing, the long-term or full extent of the treatment induced side effects may remain unknown for some time. However, in testing and observation the medical community has been able to identify some common side effects.
