Do you know your risk for breast cancer? One in every 8 women will get breast cancer in their lifetime1. Besides being female, age is the most important risk factor for breast cancer1. Personal or family history of breast cancer can also increase your risk as does having extremely dense breast tissue, which can mask or hide breast cancer.
Early detection is key. Getting regular mammograms is one of the most important things a woman can do to detect breast cancer early. When detected at its early stages, the five-year survival rate is 90%1.
The US Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends a screening mammography every two years for women aged 50 to 74 years.
It is always best to discuss your risk factors with a health care professional to determine the best screening plan for you.
Here at FHCP, we strongly encourage you to contact your primary care physician to request an order for a mammogram screening. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please call Florida Health Care Plans at 386-676-7100 ext. 4186.

A company's proposal to seek shareholder approval at the annual meeting to change its corporate name does not, by itself, require that company to file a preliminary proxy statement, according to the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance. The staff offered advice on this and other questions in an update to the compliance and disclosure interpretations (C&DIs) on the proxy rules and Schedules 14A and 14C. The new C&DIs replace the interpretations published in the manual of publicly available telephone interpretations and the March 1999 supplement to the telephone interpretations.
On the question of whether registrant proposing a name change is required to file a preliminary proxy statement, the staff pointed to Release No. 34-25217 from 1987. In that release the staff stated that the underlying purpose of the exclusions from the preliminary proxy filing requirement is to relieve registrants of unnecessary administrative burdens and preparation and processing costs associated with the filing and processing of proxy material that is currently subject to selective review procedures, but ordinarily is not selected for review in preliminary form. Consistent with that purpose, a registrant's name change does not require the filing of a preliminary proxy, the staff stated.
Discretionary authority. The Division staff has permitted registrants to avoid filing proxy materials in preliminary form despite receipt of adequate advance notification of a non-Rule 14a-8 matter as long as the registrant disclosed in its proxy statement the nature of the matter and how the registrant intends to exercise discretionary authority if the matter was actually represented for a vote at the meeting. The staff clarified in the new C&DIs that a registrant may not rely on this position if it cannot properly exercise discretionary authority on the matter in accordance with Rule 14a-4(c)(2).
Under Rule 14a-4(b)(1), a proxy may confer discretionary authority with respect to matters as to which a choice has not been specified by the shareholder, so long as the form of proxy states in bold-faced type how the proxy holder will vote where no choice is specified. The staff advised that a soliciting party may cumulate votes among director nominees by simply indicating this in bold-faced type on the proxy card, provided that state law grants the proxy holder the authority to exercise discretion to cumulate votes and does not require separate shareholder approval with respect to cumulative voting.
Authorizing additional shares. The staff addressed a scenario where a registrant solicits its shareholders to approve the authorization of additional common shares for issuance in a public offering. The registrant could use the cash proceeds from the public offering as consideration for a recently announced acquisition of another company, but it has alternative means for fully financing the acquisition and may choose to use those alternative financing means instead. The staff advised that the proposal to authorize additional common shares would not "involve" the acquisition for purposes of Note A of Schedule 14A.
The staff noted that raising proceeds through a sale of common shares is not an integral part of the acquisition transaction because at the time the acquisition consideration is payable, the registrant has other means of fully financing the acquisition. The staff added that if the cash proceeds from the public offering are expected to be used to pay any material portion of the consideration for the acquisition, then Note A would apply.
Plan benefits table. The staff also stated in the C&DIs that if a registrant is required to disclose the New Plan Benefits Table called for under Item 10(a)(2) of Schedule 14A, it should list in the table all of the individuals and groups for which award and benefit information is required, even if the amount to be reported is zero. In the alternative, a registrant can choose to identify any individual or group for which the award and benefit information to be reported is zero through narrative disclosure that accompanies the New Plan Benefits Table, according to the staff.
In another substantive revision to its previous interpretations, the staff advised that a proxy statement seeking shareholder approval for the elimination of preemptive rights from a security involves a modification of that security for purposes of Item 12 of Schedule 14A. As a result, financial and other information would be required in the proxy statement to the extent required by Item 13 of Schedule 14A. The C&DIs also include several technical and non-substantive revisions to the proxy rules and Schedules 14A and 14C.

Current Issue:
 - Doesn't actually stop when successful equals total.
 - doesn't check result vs successful so keeps redoing all comps forever.
 - The Attempts tab just keeps adding 1 to the last time or something, so it makes some weird continuous "1111" thing.
Probably more just havn't noticed them yet.

Mr. Sinatra has left the room
By Leslie Brenner
CHICKEN Beckerman, rest in peace.
The dish that for years was the No. 1 seller at Matteo's, an old-school Italian restaurant with a Hollywood following, will probably soon be forgotten. The restaurant itself, which used to be one of the hottest spots in town -- a hangout for Frank Sinatra (who grew up across the street from Matteo's founder Matty Jordan), Sammy Davis Jr., Lucille Ball and just about everyone who was anyone, has largely been forgotten too. But its new owner wants to change that.
With its dark red walls, low lighting, red imitation leather booths, chandeliers with leopard-print lampshades, the toy train that makes the rounds near the ceiling in the front room (where Chianti bottles are strung up across the entry), it's hard to imagine that this was once a hot spot. But the illustration for a 1967 Times article about "the age of the Beautiful Person" ("Where the Elite Meet to Eat") tells it all. In it, beau peeps such as George Plimpton, Nancy Wilson and Angie Dickinson named their favorite dining spots. "Scandia," said Melvin Belli. "The Bistro," said Rosalind Russell. "Matteo's," said Pierre Salinger. It stayed hot for at least two decades.
Claire Heron, the principal in a real estate management company, bought the Westwood Boulevard restaurant (and the land it occupies) from Jordan's widow late last year. She never intended to run a restaurant -- she planned to lease Matteo's to another operator or sell the business. But every restaurateur she approached wanted to close it and start afresh with a new concept. Heron (who owns the place with her three children) couldn't stand the idea. "I said there's hardly a single solitary Hollywood restaurant left, and I'm going to save it."
That meant getting a new chef. The food at Matteo's, Heron says, was terrible. She hired Don Dickman, the chef behind Rocca, the well-regarded Italian spot in Santa Monica that closed in 2005.
But is it possible to turn around a place with so much history without losing its character?
New and improved
ON a Tuesday night last month, loyal regulars were handed, for the first time, Dickman's radically different new menu. To many, it wasn't a good surprise. Instead of scampi Al Davis and mozzarella marinara, they found pan-roasted tiny Maine mussels and chicken liver crostini. Instead of J.F.K. with classic Alfredo, they found bucatini carbonara with guanciale (cured pork jowl) and pecorino Romano. Goodbye, sausage and peppers Stallone; hello, wild boar sausages with Tuscan beans, tomato, sage and green apple mostarda.
And though there was a "Matteo's Classics" page at the end of the menu, with Dickman's new, improved versions of dishes like veal Parmigiana with marinara sauce and baked mozzarella (formerly veal Parmigiana Don Rickles), baked clams oreganata and Matteo's chopped salad, there was no chicken Beckerman.
Dickman's goal was to attract young diners who'd lap up sweetbread and squash blossom fritto misto and brasato al Chianti, while losing as few of the old crowd as possible.
"We were sinking miserably financially," Heron said. "Even when we had overflow crowds, I was spending more money than we were taking in."
"The customers had figured out how to manhandle our staff to get a lot of free stuff," explains Dickman. "They'd substitute pasta for a side order of vegetables. Or they'd split stuff." The lasagna, for instance, "Matty's Original 1963 Recipe." "It's the Goodyear blimp of lasagna," Dickman said. "One order weighs about 20 pounds. It's Long Island Jewish lasagna. We'd use the cheapest noodles and ricotta."
Though the Herons have cleaned up the place, replacing the old leopard-print carpet with a fresh leopard-print carpet, changing some of the paintings (they're leaving the Red Skelton clown painting, of course), they're not otherwise going to touch the decor. Frank Sinatra's portrait still hangs over Sinatra's booth, table 8. If they removed it, the regulars wouldn't stand for it -- and it wouldn't feel like Matteo's.
As it is, Dickman and consulting general manager Colin Trauberman have had enough on their minds worrying about how the old regulars will react when they see their favorite dishes missing. Early in the evening the new menu debuted, Dickman gathered the waiters in the kitchen for a pre-service pep talk.
"Frank Sinatra is gone," he told them. "Matty is gone. I'm here. And you're here. People have been coming here so long a lot of people don't even look at the menu; they already know what they want. Now it's a new menu. They have to look at it."
No one expected the old regulars to take the demise of dishes like chicken Beckerman sitting down. "The next couple of days are gonna be difficult," Dickman told the wait staff. "If you have a problem with a table, don't try to solve it yourself. Get Colin. You're not the bad guy. Colin's the bad guy." The plan was to try to calm angry diners by buying them a glass of wine or a dessert.
The restaurant opened at 5 p.m. It was just 5:05 when two women walked in. Ten minutes later, there was a scene at their table, and the waiter sent Trauberman over to soothe them.
"I don't want pasta," one of the women was saying. "I came for the chicken." That would be the Beckerman. She turned to her friend, "They changed the owners; that's why they changed the menu. I know a lot of people will be disappointed."
Named for film producer Sidney Beckerman, a regular customer who ordered the chicken every Sunday, the dish was, according to Dickman, "the most disgusting thing we served."
"It was horrible," Trauberman said. "It has chicken. They chop it up and put a lot of oil in the pan. They take a big potato, chop it up and put it all around the chicken. They put it in the oven. They cook it 1 1/2 or 2 hours. They take it out and put parsley on it. Chopped. And put it in the oven again so the parsley gets burnt."
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Dickman was leading a tasting of the new menu items for the waiters so they could describe them to diners. Javier Perez, the garde manger cook, set out a dish of roast peppers. The waiters crowded around, notepads in hand.
"OK," said Dickman. "I add a couple of marinated anchovies on top. This is a caper, but it's a caper berry." Next, the olives -- Perez slid over a small dish. "They're marinated in fennel seed, chili flakes, thyme, garlic, lemon peel." He held up a big, deep red olive. "Believe it or not, this is an olive. This is a red Ceregnola. This green one is a green Ceregnola. You don't have to remember -- call me out to the table. The black is Gaeta." A lecture on olives followed -- Dickman is passionate about Italian ingredients; he's traveled widely throughout Italy, and the cause of real Italian cooking has become his calling.
Kitchen challenge
THERE would be challenges not just for the wait staff but for the cooks too. Although Dickman had brought his sous-chef from Rocca, Armando Parada, as well as his pasta maker, Maria Gomez, most of the guys in the kitchen had been working at Matteo's for years. All the pasta was precooked (or pre-over-cooked, as Dickman put it) and just had to be reheated and sauced. Other dishes had pre-cooked components and had only to be assembled and reheated.
Now the line cooks would be called upon to make fried stuffed squash blossoms a la minute. "We'll keep the pasta section smaller in order to cook it to order," Dickman said. "The guys are really quaking in their boots."
Back in the dining room, Trauberman had convinced the Beckerman woman to try Dickman's chicken piccata with lemon, capers, white wine and parsley. Though it was Tuesday night (Dickman thought it best to introduce the new menu on a slow night), it turned out to be busy. In restaurant-speak, the kitchen got slammed.
The diners were none the wiser, though one, Stanley Stone, commented that the service was strange. "The presentation was very nice," he added. "And the host was great -- very hospitable. He obviously wanted to make us happy, and we miss the chicken Beckerman. I think they should put it back on the menu." He and his wife, Dee, had been coming to Matteo's for 30 years, he said, and then he started reminiscing about the Beckerman.
"It was delicious," he said. "They bake it and they have a certain kind of garlic on it and many, many things. It was very tasty, very wholesome."
"I think it was sauteed -- ," said his wife.
"I don't think it was sauteed," said Stanley, interrupting.
"You had your turn to tell the chicken Beckerman," Dee said. "Now it's my turn. It definitely had garlic and it had parsley, lots of parsley. It was crisp, but it wasn't burnt."
Ingrid Mueller, the early bird who had come expressly for the Beckerman, said her chicken piccata was "very good." She'd absolutely be back. "Because the ambience is so unique," she said. "The paintings, the carpet -- you can talk. You feel private."
"We've been coming here for 35 years," said another diner, Shelly Pepper. "And the stuff is as good as it's ever been."
Not all the customers were so happy. "You don't take something nice and get rid of the past," said Sandy Weinberg, a longtime regular.
Would she and her husband return? "As long as Leo's behind the bar," she said, referring to bartender Leo Ortega, who's been working at Matteo's since shortly after it opened. "We'll be back, but we'll be sitting at the bar."
Last Sunday night, the place was packed. Dickman was presenting a wild game ragu menu. He had sent e-mails to former Rocca customers; along with a huge party of the Heron family and their friends, they filled up the place. Some were wine enthusiasts -- part of the ragu deal was that corkage would be waived for any bottle with a pre-1990 vintage or any bottle purchased from Wine Expo in Santa Monica. Next to the new dishes such as crispy pork belly with Castelluccio lentils and foie gras tidbits and "millionaire's pasta" with lobster and chanterelles was listed the ragu menu. It began with fusilli tossed with a rich, winey, wild game ragu, and continued with a wild boar braciola, pheasant polpettine stuffed with foie gras, venison sausage and buffalo rib eye, all sauced with that ragu. Diners ate it up. The mood was positively festive. Lights twinkled, wine flowed, the piano player played "Come Fly With Me."
You could almost imagine that Matteo's might come back.

Most of my friends know that I rarely drink soda pop. But once in a great while, I do, and when that happens it's usually a Coca-Cola. My desire for a Coke tends to be ignited by the sight of those vintage glass bottles. They just give me that–feeling. You probably know exactly what I'm talking about and so does Coca-Cola, who just wrote one of the best slogans I've ever seen– "Taste the feeling."
The slogan works so well because it literally sums up what many of us now experience when we drink Coke; memories of good feelings we had while Coke was present. I think about when I was 10, watching a movie in the theatre, a party at a friends house, a backyard bbq, skateboarding after school, Friday night board games with my parents. I now avoid sugary drinks like the plague, and I'm not sure if Coca-Cola is a company I feel comfortable promoting–which isn't my intention here–but I have to admit, with one simple phrase Coke just ignited a little desire inside of me. I think I'll go taste some of that feeling this week.

Cardi B had a few choice words when So So Def founder Jermaine Dupri decided to call out women in rap for "all rapping about the same thing," aka their sexuality. Cardi shared a video in which she claps back at his sexist claims.
Dupri's hot takes, shared in a video interview with People, came when he was asked who his favorite female rapper was. Spoiler: He doesn't have one because, as he said, "I feel like they're all rapping about the same thing, and I don't think they're showing us who's the best rapper." Wow! And it gets worse. He continued, "For me, it's like, strippers rapping. And as far as rap goes, I'm not getting who is the best rapper. I'm getting, oh okay, you got a story about you dancing in the club." I'm personally disappointed that the interviewer didn't ask what an "acceptable" list of topics to rap about was, but hey, Dupri if you're reading this, LMK.
"First of all, I rap about my pussy because she my best friend," Cardi shared in response, "and second of all, it's because it seems like that's what people want to hear," noting that people talked "mad shit" when she came out with her track "Be Careful." Captioning the video "SUPPORT SUPPORT SUPPORT," Cardi went on to point out, "There's a lot of female rappers that be rapping their asses off and don't be talking about their pussy and don't be talking about getting down and dirty and y'all don't be supporting them."
As the founder of a record label, Dupri has the power to lift up and support women in rap. Though following a quick Google search, it seems that there are only two women currently on his roster, including Da Brat, who, it must be noted, he does mention several times in the People interview.

Middle East & Africa | Israel
You're nicked—again
The Jericho prison siege will help Kadima in the forthcoming Israeli election
Mar 16th 2006 | jerusalem
A FEW weeks ago, it was dangerous to be Danish in Palestine; now it is the Brits and Americans who are the unflavour-of-the-month. On March 14th, the three British monitors supervising the detention of six of Israel's top public enemies at a Palestinian Authority (PA) jail in Jericho finished their watch and left, but no replacement team showed up. Israeli troops, watching nearby, correctly deduced that Britain and the United States were keeping a promise made on March 8th to both the PA and the Israelis that they were going to withdraw the monitors. The Israelis attacked, and after a nine-hour siege that claimed remarkably few casualties (two dead prison guards), captured the prisoners alive. In response, furious Palestinians set fire to the British Council offices in Gaza, and several foreigners were kidnapped in Gaza and the West Bank, only to be released unharmed soon afterwards.
The monitors were there as part of a deal struck in 2002, when Israel agreed to lift its siege of Yasser Arafat's compound in Ramallah, where the six men were hiding out, in return for their handover. Among them was Ahmad Saadat, a leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), who was believed to have planned the assassination of Rehavam Zeevi, a right-wing Israeli cabinet minister. Israel agreed to let the men stay in a PA jail, so long as there was foreign supervision. But the supervisors had never been happy with the poor security provisions for the unarmed monitors and the lax conditions for the prisoners, who were, for instance, allowed to use mobile phones. Israel suspects that Mr Saadat used one to plan a suicide bombing from his cell.
After Mr Saadat won a seat in the Palestinian parliament last January on the PFLP list, the organisation began calling on the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, to release him. Hamas, which won a majority in the legislature, said that it would let him go once it formed a government. That seems to have tipped the balance for the British and the Americans: rather than wait for the prisoners to be set free, and risk having their monitors caught in an Israeli attack, they pulled out pre-emptively. Israel, they say, knew nothing about it before March 8th, though Israel's Haaretz newspaper reports that the Israeli plans had been laid weeks before. (The army refused to comment.)
Opening the way to an Israeli siege would have been a sensitive matter at the best of times. But with foreign donors engaged in backroom debates about the extent to which they should cut funding for, and contact with, a Hamas-run PA, Palestinians inevitably wonder whether the pullout of the monitors was just the beginning of a process of abandonment, or even of a strategy of deliberate destabilisation of the PA, which some American and Israeli officials are known to favour. Ironically, if so, the most destabilised might be not Hamas, but the moderate Mr Abbas.
Another fruitful cultural exchange
Will other projects in which foreign officials work directly with the PA be axed too, such as the EU-supervised Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt, or the training provided for the authority's security forces? The donors are still undecided, waiting for Hamas to form its government. Hamas, meanwhile, is still trying to clinch a deal with other factions in an attempt to set up a possible government of national unity.
For Israel's ruling Kadima party, the timing of the Jericho prison siege, however coincidental, could not have been better. It had been slipping in the polls; its leader, Ehud Olmert, lacking the public's trust in his militaristic predecessor, Ariel Sharon, had found that he could not afford to affect Mr Sharon's studied vagueness about the future. Last weekend he finally outlined both the borders he thought Israel should have, and the length of time—a mere four years—that it should take to get to them, most likely unilaterally, thus giving up some of its West Bank settlements.
That clarity of purpose has boosted Kadima's ratings, according to a poll by state television just before the prison siege. And thanks to the success of the siege, Mr Olmert's hard-man credentials are now stronger too. Few now doubt that a coalition led by Kadima, with Labour as the second biggest party, will be forming Israel's next government.

Commercial and recreational boaters asked to"Take The Pledge" to protect pregnant orcas
Whale-watch companies asked to stop disturbing critically endangered orcas
Researcher Mark Sears permit #21348/contributed photo J56 and J3.
Submitted by pledge organizers.
National and regional conservation groups and respected environmental experts submitted a letter on Sept. 2 to all U.S. whale-watch operators requesting them to "Take The Pledge" and make a commitment to suspend viewing of the Southern resident orca population, effective immediately.
The conservation groups include Friends of the San Juans; Natural Resources Defense Council; Seattle Aquarium; The Whale Trail; and Washington Environmental Council.
Since 1998, the Southern resident population has declined precipitously to a current low of 72 individuals. The request to operators comes at a critical juncture for the highly endangered Southern resident population as scientists recently confirmed three pregnant orcas, including Tahlequah who garnered international sympathy in 2018 as she traveled 1,500 miles in 17 days grieving the loss of her calf.
"The recent news that at least three females are pregnant is a ray of hope for this struggling population," Washington Environmental Council Puget Sound Program Director and former Gov. Jay Inslee's Orca Recovery Task Force member Mindy Roberts said. "Now more than ever, we need to provide them the space and quiet to successfully forage for scarce salmon, rest, socialize, and birth and raise healthy babies."
The request to suspend viewing of the orcas complements and extends the agreements already in place since 2019 in Canada. The pledge to suspend viewing in the United States would last for at least one year, starting now.
A recent economic viability report prepared for the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife, confirms that whale-watch operators "are not financially dependent upon Southern resident [orca] viewing, and that the industry has remained profitable despite previous reductions in SRKW viewing opportunities over the past ten years." Under the pledge, whale-watching can continue to operate while focusing on other whale and wildlife species. Over the past decade, while the Southern resident orcas continued to decline, the number of whale-watch vessels more than doubled, and revenue nearly tripled.
"The science is clear, the need is clear and now the economics are clear," The Whale Trail Founder and Executive Director, and former member of the Orca Recovery Task Force, Donna Sandstrom said. "Last year while viewing was suspended in Canada, ridership on Canadian vessels actually increased. Passengers want to support businesses that are going the extra mile and doing the right thing to protect the Southern Residents. This should be an economic selling point for U.S. operators to take the pledge."
Lack of salmon, polluted water and acoustic and physical disturbance from vessels are the major threats to the Southern residents and will push them to extinction unless additional measures are taken. Studies show that noise and salmon availability are inextricably linked as orcas rely on echolocation to find their prey.
"Reducing human-created noise and disturbance from all vessels will have an immediate benefit for the Southern Residents," NDRC Director of Marine Mammal Protection Michael Jasny. "Other factors like working to increase the abundance of Chinook salmon is critical, but will take time, while reducing disturbance will improve survival and recovery of the Southern residents now."
"While we support a sustainable whale-watching industry that educates the public and inspires conservation, we ask operators to focus on other species and give the critically endangered Southern Residents additional space during this crisis," Seattle Aquarium Ocean Policy Manager Nora Nickum said. "We need to give the pregnant orcas the best possible chance at having healthy, thriving calves."
By taking the pledge, whale-watch operators commit to not plan or route trips to view Southern Residents, staying 1/2 nautical mile (1,000 yards) away from the whales for a year. According to the Washington Academy of Science, 1/2 nautical mile distance is the least likely to cause disturbance. If Southern resident orcas are incidentally encountered while viewing other whales, operators would not approach or follow. If Southern residents are encountered in transit, operators would slow down to reduce noise, but keep going.
In exchange for taking the pledge, the environmental organizations will publicize any commercial vessel operators that make the conservation commitment. Recreational boaters are asked to take a similar pledge.
"Recreational boaters also have an important role to play in protecting the Southern residents and we encourage all sail and power boaters, kayakers, and jet skiers to take the pledge and provide these whales with more space to thrive," Friends of the San Juans Marine Protection and Policy Director Lovel Pratt said. "People can watch the whales from shore without disturbing them."
Suspending viewing of Southern residents by all vessels remains a recommendation of the Orca Recovery Task Force as a critical step toward orca recovery.

Methods for Specifying the Target Difference in a Randomised Controlled Trial: The Difference ELicitation in TriAls (DELTA) Systematic Review

Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are widely accepted as the preferred study design for evaluating healthcare interventions. When the sample size is determined, a (target) difference is typically specified that the RCT is designed to detect. This provides reassurance that the study will be informative, i.e., should such a difference exist, it is likely to be detected with the required statistical precision. The aim of this review was to identify potential methods for specifying the target difference in an RCT sample size calculation.
A comprehensive systematic review of medical and non-medical literature was carried out for methods that could be used to specify the target difference for an RCT sample size calculation. The databases searched were MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the Cochrane Methodology Register, PsycINFO, Science Citation Index, EconLit, the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), and Scopus (for in-press publications); the search period was from 1966 or the earliest date covered, to between November 2010 and January 2011. Additionally, textbooks addressing the methodology of clinical trials and International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) tripartite guidelines for clinical trials were also consulted. A narrative synthesis of methods was produced. Studies that described a method that could be used for specifying an important and/or realistic difference were included. The search identified 11,485 potentially relevant articles from the databases searched. Of these, 1,434 were selected for full-text assessment, and a further nine were identified from other sources. Fifteen clinical trial textbooks and the ICH tripartite guidelines were also reviewed. In total, 777 studies were included, and within them, seven methods were identified—anchor, distribution, health economic, opinion-seeking, pilot study, review of the evidence base, and standardised effect size.
A variety of methods are available that researchers can use for specifying the target difference in an RCT sample size calculation. Appropriate methods may vary depending on the aim (e.g., specifying an important difference versus a realistic difference), context (e.g., research question and availability of data), and underlying framework adopted (e.g., Bayesian versus conventional statistical approach). Guidance on the use of each method is given. No single method provides a perfect solution for all contexts.

Additionally, textbooks addressing the methodology of clinical trials and International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) tripartite guidelines for clinical trials were also consulted. A narrative synthesis of methods was produced. Studies that described a method that could be used for specifying an important and/or realistic difference were included. The search identified 11,485 potentially relevant articles from the databases searched. Of these, 1,434 were selected for full-text assessment, and a further nine were identified from other sources. Fifteen clinical trial textbooks and the ICH tripartite guidelines were also reviewed. In total, 777 studies were included, and within them, seven methods were identified—anchor, distribution, health economic, opinion-seeking, pilot study, review of the evidence base, and standardised effect size.Conclusions A variety of methods are available that researchers can use for specifying the target difference in an RCT sample size calculation. Appropriate methods may vary depending on the aim (e.g., specifying an important difference versus a realistic difference), context (e.g., research question and availability of data), and underlying framework adopted (e.g., Bayesian versus conventional statistical approach). Guidance on the use of each method is given. No single method provides a perfect solution for all contexts.
AB - Background Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are widely accepted as the preferred study design for evaluating healthcare interventions. When the sample size is determined, a (target) difference is typically specified that the RCT is designed to detect. This provides reassurance that the study will be informative, i.e., should such a difference exist, it is likely to be detected with the required statistical precision. The aim of this review was to identify potential methods for specifying the target difference in an RCT sample size calculation.Methods and Findings A comprehensive systematic review of medical and non-medical literature was carried out for methods that could be used to specify the target difference for an RCT sample size calculation.

Description: The south and west walls of the E&LS, former MILW, depot 414 Hall Ave., Crivitz (originally Ellis Junction), WI, on 1 Jan. '21. I am nearly certain that this is the depot built by the M&N when the line was laid in 1883 (I haven't found any indication that the original depot was replaced). This is the southern corner of the large wye formed by the main line running north-south, in front of the depot, and the branch running southeastward to Menominee, MI, behind the depot. The wye is the western terminus of the former M&N Menominee Branch. To the right, an E&LS train rests on the south leg of the wye. The locomotive was idling and the headlights were on (dimmed), so I thought it was ready to go somewhere. It was not to be.

Title: GTW 4903
Description: A CN local crosses the Fox River Navigation Canal at Lock No. 3 via the former C&NW swing bridge as it hauls 10 cars westward through 'The Flats' at Appleton, WI, on 24 Dec. '20. Local was returning from Kimberly and Combined Locks. I haven't noticed a builder's plate, but according to bridgehunter.com, the Warren through truss swing bridge was built in 1908. However, a recent contributor to that site believes it was built after 1919. A photograph caption in the Post-Crescent on 29 May 1974 states that the bridge was "nearly 50 years old." This view was captured from the abandoned former C&NW steel stringer bridge over the Fox River, which opened earlier this year as a recreational trail. I used to think that the abandoned bridge was former MILW, but I have since learned that it was C&NW. In the background you can see First Congregational United Church of Christ, 724 E. South River St. Over the past several years, I have noticed that some misinformed individuals erroneously refer to 'The Flats' as 'Oneida Flats,' or some other variation. For all of my life, the historic, industrial heart of Appleton has been simply 'The Flats.' However, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries it was referred to as 'The Water Power.'

Usually they stay on the main line and pass in front of the depot/yard office while making their setout, but today they chose to pass behind it. Local would continue on to Little Chute and Kaukauna. There used to be a diamond in front of where the depot/yard office sits, about where the sidewalk leading to the front door crosses the tracks, from ca. 1874 until at least 1968, where the MLS&W crossed the C&NW. When the MLS&W was absorbed by the C&NW on 1 Sep. 1893, their line became the Ashland Div. of the C&NW.

This view would have been prevented by the dominating silhouette of the original Neenah Foundry facility, later known as Plant 1, which stood here for over ¾'s of a century. Established in 1872 as Aylward Plow Works (a.k.a. Aylward & Sons) at 120 N. Lake St., they erected a new foundry at 500 W. Winneconne Ave. in 1918 "in a rural area of southwestern Neenah." The name of Neenah Foundry was adopted in 1922. Expanded numerous times over the years, it became Plant 1 in 1960 when Plant 2 was constructed in the then rural area at the intersection of Byrd Ave. and the aptly named Aylward St. (followed by Plant 3 in 1967). Plant 1 was closed in 1994, the corporate overlords didn't want to spend any money to update the plant. It stood abandoned for a while and was eventually demolished. The tan 4- or 5-story facility partially visible above the locomotive was Kimberly-Clark Corp. (K-C) Neenah Nonwovens Facility, 1111 Henry St. It was slated to close by 31 May '19. It was purchased by 5K Fibres, based in Greenville, WI, ca. Apr. '20. One use for their melt-blown fabric is N-95 masks.

The Fox Valley Energy Center (formerly Minergy Fox Valley Glass Aggregate Plant) dominated the eastern half of the landfill/park from its opening in Jan. '98 until demolition was completed in the spring of '16.

El genio de Darwin: Las claves de la evolución (título original The Genius of Charles Darwin) es un documental, realizado inicialmente para televisión, escrito y presentado por el biólogo y especialista en la teoría de la evolución Richard Dawkins. En tres capítulos se centra en la influencia de Charles Darwin y su obra El origen de las especies en la ciencia, ampliando sus consecuencias más allá de la biología hacia la religión y la moral. Conocido impulsor del ateísmo, Dawkins utiliza en este documental la evolución para defender sus posiciones contra las religiones mayoritarias en pos de una humanismo ateo.

Se estrenó en el Reino Unido el 4 de agosto de 2008 en el Channel 4.

Partes

La vida, Darwin y todo lo demás
En el primer episodio Richard Dawkins explica los mecanismos básicos de la selección natural y expone cómo Charles Darwin desarrolló su teoría.

Como método pedagógico, invita a una clase de alumnos de 15 años a conocer la evolución, encontrando que varios estudiantes son reacios, por sus creencias religiosas, a aceptar la teoría. Dawkins lleva a la clase a la Costa jurásica, en Dorset, Inglaterra a la búsqueda de fósiles, con la esperanza de que los jóvenes encuentres por sí mismos las evidencias de la evolución.

Posteriormente, Dawkins visita Nairobi, en Kenia, donde entrevista a una prostituta que parece presentar cierta inmunidad genética al virus VIH, prediciendo que, según la selección natural, esa inmunidad irá paulatinamente prevaleciendo entre la comunidad. Después entrevista a  uno de los artífices del proyecto del genoma humano, Craig Venter y al microbiólogo Larry Gelmon.

El quinto primate
En el segundo episodio Richard Dawkins expone alguna de las ramificaciones filosóficas y sociales de la teoría de la evolución.

El episodio comienza en Kenia con una entrevista al paleontólogo Richard Leakey. Después, Dawkins entrevista al obispo de la Iglesia pentescostal Bonifes Adoyo en la iglesia de  Christ is the Answer Ministries. Adoyo pretende que el Museo nacional de Kenia deje de mostar su colección de fósiles humanos, es decir, que no muestre la evolución desde el mono hasta el ser humano. La colección incluye el hombre de Turkana, descubierto por Kamoya Kimeu, miembro del equipo de Richard Leakey, en 1984.

Posteriormente, Dawkins discute las consecuencias del darwinismo social y la eugenesia, defendiendo que éstas no son "versiones" de la selección natural y afirmando que "Darwin ha sido demonizado".

Finalmente, Dawkins conversa con el psicólogo evolutivo Steven Pinker acerca de cómo la moral puede ser compatible con la selección natural y la selección sexual, en la línea expuesta en su obra previa El gen egoísta. Así, entrevista a varias mujeres a la espera de un donante de esperma adecuado para indagar el papel del altruismo y la bondad entre los humanos.

Dios nos devuelve el golpe
En el último episodio, Dawkins narra algunas de las controversias que el darwinismo tiene pendientes con algunas concepciones religiosas. Se entrevista con creacionistas populares y, por parte del diseño inteligente con el arzobispo de Canterbury, Rowan Williams, entre otros, para exponer cómo la teoría de la evolución es un hecho científico incontestable y cómo ayuda a las personas a "librarse de la muleta" de lo sobrenatural, refiriéndose a lo ya expuesto en su obra El espejismo de Dios.

From a single line of code to an entire city: reframing thinking on code and the city. Programmable City Working Paper 4
Kitchin, Rob (2014) From a single line of code to an entire city: reframing thinking on code and the city. Programmable City Working Paper 4. Working Paper. NIRSA - National Institute for Regional and Spatial Analysis, Maynooth University.
Cities are rapidly becoming composed of digitally-mediated components and infrastructures, their systems augmented and mediated by software, with widespread consequences for how they are managed, governed and experienced. This transformation has been accompanied by critical scholarship that has sought to understand the relationship between code and the city. Whilst this work has produced many useful insights, in this paper I argue that it also has a number of shortcomings. Principal amongst these is that the literatures concerning code and the city have remained quite divided. Studies that focus on code are often narrow in remit, fading out the city, and tend to fetishize and potentially decontextualises code at the expense of the wider socio-technical assemblage within which it is embedded. Studies that focus on the city tend to examine the effects of code, but rarely unpack the constitution and mechanics of the code producing those effects. To provide a more holistic account of the relationship between code and the city I forward two interlinked conceptual frameworks. The first places code within a wider socio-technical assemblage. The second conceives the city as being composed of millions of such assemblages. In so doing, the latter seeks to provide a means of productively building a conceptual and empirical understanding of programmable urbanism that scales from individual lines of code to the complexity of an entire urban system.
