(2) Property, other than controlled substances, taken or detained under this section shall not be subject to replevin, but is deemed to be in the custody of the Mayor. When property is seized under this chapter, the Mayor shall:
(A) Place the property under seal;
(B) Remove the property to a place designated by the Mayor; or
(C) Remove the property to an appropriate location for disposition in accordance with law.
(3)(A) After a proper showing of probable cause for the seizure is made, the Mayor shall cause notice of the seizure of property, other than controlled substances, and the Mayor's intention to forfeit and sell or otherwise dispose of the property in accordance with this chapter to be published for at least 2 successive weeks in a local newspaper of general circulation. In addition, the Mayor shall provide written notice of the seizure together with information on the applicable procedures for claiming the property to each party who is known or in the exercise of reasonable diligence should be known by the Mayor to have a right of claim to the seized property. Notice to each party shall be by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested.
(B) Any person claiming the property may, at any time within 30 days from the date of receipt of notice of seizure, file with the Mayor a claim stating his or her interest in the property. Upon the filing of a claim, the claimant shall give a bond to the District government in the penal sum of $2,500 or 10% of the fair market value of the claimed property (as appraised by the Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department), whichever is lower, but not less than $250, with sureties to be approved by the Mayor. In case of forfeiture of the claimed property, the costs and expenses of the forfeiture proceedings shall be deducted from the bonds. Any costs that exceed the amount of the bond shall be paid by the claimant. In determining the fair market value of the property seized, the Chief of the Metropolitan Police Department shall consider any verifiable and reasonable evidence of value that the claimant may present. The balance of the proceeds shall be transferred to the unrestricted fund balance of the General Fund of the District of Columbia;
(C) If a claim and bond (or application for a waiver of bond) are not filed within 30 days of receipt of notice, and if either the property seized has a value of less than $250,000 or the property seized is a conveyance subject to forfeiture under the provisions of paragraph (a)(4) of this section, the Mayor, after determining that the property is forfeitable under this chapter, shall declare the property forfeited and shall dispose of the property in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (4) of this subsection. If the Mayor determines that the seized property is not forfeitable under this chapter and is not otherwise subject to forfeiture, the Mayor shall return the property to its rightful owner.

(E) If the property seized is not forfeited or disposed of in accordance with subparagraphs (C) and (D) of this paragraph, the Mayor shall request the Corporation Counsel to apply to the Superior Court of the District of Columbia for forfeiture of the property in accordance with the rules of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia.
(F) Whenever any person who has an interest in forfeited property files with the Mayor, either before or after the sale or disposition of property, a petition for remission or mitigation of the forfeiture, the Mayor shall remit or mitigate the forfeiture upon the terms and conditions as the Mayor deems reasonable if the Mayor finds:
(i) That the forfeiture was incurred without willful negligence or without any intention on the part of the petitioner to violate the law; or
(ii) That mitigating circumstances justify the remission or mitigation of the forfeiture.
(G) In all suits or actions brought for forfeiture of any property seized under this chapter when the property is claimed by any person, the burden of proof shall be on the claimant once the Mayor has established probable cause as provided in subsection (a) of this section.
(H) The Mayor shall, pursuant to subchapter I of Chapter 5 of Title 2, issue proposed rules to implement the provisions of this paragraph. The proposed rules shall be submitted to the Council for a 45-day period of review, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, legal holidays, and days of Council recess. If the Council does not approve or disapprove the proposed rules, in whole or in part, by resolution within this 45-day review period, the proposed rules shall be deemed approved. Nothing in this section shall affect any requirements imposed upon the Mayor by subchapter I of Chapter 5 of Title 2.
(4) When property, other than controlled substances, is forfeited under this chapter, the Mayor shall:
(A) Retain it for official use;
(B) Sell that which is not required by law to be destroyed and which is not harmful to the public. All proper expenses of the proceedings for forfeiture and sale, including expenses of seizure, maintenance of custody, advertising, and court costs shall be deducted from the proceeds. The balance of the proceeds shall be used, and shall remain available until expended regardless of the expiration of the fiscal year in which they were collected, to finance law enforcement activities of the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia, with any remaining balance used to finance programs which shall serve to rehabilitate drug addicts, educate citizens, or prevent drug addiction;
(C) Remove the property for disposition in accordance with law; or
(D) Forward it to the D.E.A. for disposition.
(e) During the course of any civil forfeiture proceeding pursuant to this section, which involves real property, the Mayor shall file a notice of the proceeding with the Recorder of Deeds. The notice shall include the legal description of the property and indicate that civil forfeiture is being sought. The Recorder of Deeds shall record the notice against the title of any real property for which civil forfeiture is being sought. Upon resolution of the proceeding, the Recorder of Deeds shall be notified of the disposition of the action.

AUBURN — Kevin Steele wanted to do something different on defense in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Something LSU had never seen before.
Auburn typically plays in a "nickel" defense, or a 4-2-5 — four defensive linemen, two linebackers and five defensive backs (two cornerbacks, two safeties, one nickelback). From the first play of Saturday's game, it lined up in a 3-1-7 — three defensive linemen, one linebacker and seven defensive backs (three corners, four safeties).
It's something head coach Gus Malzahn said Steele, his fourth-year defensive coordinator, has "been thinking about for a while, just planning ahead." But he didn't put it onto the practice field for the first time until last Tuesday, just four days before Auburn would face an offense led by a Heisman-candidate quarterback that ranked second nationally averaging 539.9 yards and 50.1 points per game.
That didn't matter.
"He's the boss, man," linebacker Chandler Wooten said. "It was a great plan. Great plan. We all bought into it. Whenever we buy into something as a defense, it normally works. We were excited about it, and we knew it was going to, you know, cause some issues. It did."
LSU lined up four wide on its first offensive play of the game. True freshman Owen Pappoe, the only linebacker on the field for Auburn, blitzed behind defensive linemen Big Kat Bryant, Derrick Brown and Marlon Davidson and sacked quarterback Joe Burrow for a 1-yard loss.
That drive went three-and-out. It was the first time all season that LSU didn't score on its opening drive. Later in the game, Auburn stuffed the home team on four consecutive plays run from inside the 5-yard line. That was the first time all season that LSU reached the red zone and failed to come away with points.
The offense still finished the game with 508 total yards. Burrow still looked like a Heisman candidate, completing 32 of 42 passes for 321 yards and a touchdown (and an interception). LSU still won, 23-20.
But those 23 points that Auburn's defense held LSU to were 13 fewer than its previous season low and 27 below its season average.
"They came out in a defense that, you know, we hadn't seen from them all year and that we hadn't seen from anybody else all year, so it kind of took us a while to get used to what they were doing and figure out how to attack it," Burrow said. "It did feel weird. It did. We had 500 — how many? — 500-something yards of offense, and only scored 23 points."

That type of performance has become the norm for Auburn under Steele. Saturday marked his 48th game as defensive coordinator since he left Baton Rouge for the Plains four seasons ago in 2016. Auburn's defense has now held opponents to 24 or fewer points in 37 of those games (or 77.1 percent of the time), including all eight this season.
To compare: The Tigers held opponents to 24 or fewer points only 32 times in 65 games over the previous five seasons before Steele arrived.
And this has a chance to be Steele's best Auburn defense yet.
The Tigers are allowing 342.6 yards per game and 4.9 yards per play through eight games this season. Those would be the second-best marks of the Steele era behind only the 2017 campaign, when they held teams to 319.4 yards per game and 4.7 yards per play.
The Tigers rank 14th nationally surrendering just 17.9 points per game. That is also the second-best mark of the Steele era, but is less than a point behind the 17.1 the defense allowed in 2016.
The Tigers have forced 15 turnovers through eight games. That's more than they have through the same amount of games during each of the previous three seasons. They're holding opponents to a 32.5% conversation rate on third downs and 72% scoring rate in the red zone, both of which would be the defense's best marks under Steele.
About the only metric where this Auburn defense lags behind its recent predecessors is in negative plays and sacks. It has 60 and 23 so far this season, respectively, which is slightly fewer than the 66 and 24 it had at this time last year.
But the production of a defensive line can't always be measured by counting stats — Brown, Davidson and Co. have lived in opponents' backfields so far this season. There's a reason one of that duo has taken home SEC defensive lineman of the week honors after five of the team's eight games this season.
"I know we're a great defense," Davidson said after the loss at LSU. "I know we're the best defense in the country."

That takes talent. Brown and Pappoe were five-star recruits, and Davidson, Wooten, Javaris Davis, Nick Coe, T.D. Moultry, Big Kat Bryant, K.J. Britt, Smoke Monday, Zakoby McClain, Jamien Sherwood, Daquan Newkirk and Christian Tutt were all four-stars.
It also takes development. Dinson, Daniel Thomas, Tyrone Truesdell and Roger McCreary — like standout linebacker Deshaun Davis before them — showed up a three-star recruits and became not only impact contributors, but in some cases, leaders and stars. Noah Igbinoghene joined the Tigers as a wide receiver in 2017, moved to defense, and in the span of two seasons, became their top cornerback.
But it also takes coaching. Steele keeps his system very basic; so basic that he said he hardly changed the terminology when he took over from Will Muschamp in 2016. Players say they don't worry too much about what opponents are doing on offense — Steele's philosophy is that if the defense sticks to the plan and executes it well, it will be successful. The proof is in the numbers.
That's why Steele is able to do things like install a 3-1-7 in a span of less than a week, and it's why he became the first Auburn defensive coordinator since Wayne Oliver (1986-95) to enter a fourth season on the job.
"It's going to work. It's going to work, no question," Britt said of his first impressions of that defense last week. "He's our coach. He's not going to give us nothing to put us in bad positions. So we knew it was going to work."
"Whenever you have talent plus a lot of people who can grab schemes quickly," Wooten said, "We're able to do a lot of things like that."

— SEC Network (@SECNetwork) October 30, 2019
Auburn's defense went through some lean years before Steele showed up. After finishing as a top-15 scoring defense during each of the final seven seasons of Tommy Tuberville's tenure (2002-08), it ranked no better than 48th nationally over the next seven (2009-15). The Tigers allowed at least 24 points per game in each of those seasons. They haven't allowed more than 19.2 in any year since.
Ultimately, they left Saturday's game frustrated. They performed better than any team has against Burrow and LSU's offense has all season, and they still lost. It wasn't that the defense didn't do enough — it's that offense didn't carry its own weight.
If Malzahn's side of the ball can find its stride during the final month of the regular season against Ole Miss, Georgia, Samford and Alabama, Auburn will probably have a chance to win all of those games. The defense is playing that well.
"I will say this," Steele said before the start of the season. "We got a group of guys that are very intelligent, they have a high skill set, we have depth at the right places, our young guys have come along, so we have an opportunity before us to be very good at what we do."

AUB postgraduate exhibition is 'Dust'

AUB postgraduate exhibition is 'Dust'
Published 13th August 2012
Postgraduate students from The Arts University Bournemouth (AUB) are preparing for their end of year show to be held on campus from Friday 31st August – Friday 7th September 2012.
The exhibition, entitled 'Dust', represents the culmination of a period of individually defined, research and practice from pathways in Fine Art, Costume, Photography, Graphic Design, Illustration, Contemporary Performance and Animation.
The individual practices reflect the interdisciplinary nature of postgraduate study at the AUB and represent for each graduating student, the culmination of a meaningful, transformative and personal journey.
MA Costume student Sarah Dicks' practice involved the London 2012 Olympics at Weymouth. Sarah was the lead designer on an array of colourful and fantastical costumes that were made for the Battle for the Winds spectacular which marked the opening of the Olympic Sailing Events in Weymouth. She was awarded a Silver Medal for Best Creative Cultural Project at the Podium Awards which recognise the vital role universities have played in delivering the London 2012 Games.
MA Fine Art student Rebecca Strain's practice "…investigates the creation of the document, the embodiment of paper, the mastication process and the idea of paper as a symbol for potential and a medium for further intervention. This concept of paper maker as one who forms a creative space has led me to develop a curatorial practice involving international collective production."
MA Fine Art student Paul Hearn's work examines the similarities between his own artistic practices of collage and bricolage, with those in the Western Occult Tradition. His work involves the re-combination of disparate elements in an alchemical manner, and the fascination of how both art and 'magic' ask one to imagine alternative worlds and embrace the unknown.
'Dust' will be open daily from 10am to 4.30pm (closed on Sunday) with a late night opening until 8pm on Thursday 6th September. The Private View is on Thursday 30th August from 6pm – 8pm and there is an Open Day during the show on Tuesday 4th September from 11am – 2pm. Visitors interested in the Open Day can book online on the AUB website.

Check out the JDP section of the website to view them.
There have been slight changes in the description of each program available.
The High School Prospects class has been added but we need people to call in and reserve a spot to schedule days and times for the class.
The new dates for each session in the upcoming year have been added.
There are only 8 tickets remaining for our annual bus trip to the U.S. Open in Flushing Meadows. If you would like a ticket for yourself or would like to purchase multiple tickets for a friend or a group of friends, please call in as soon as you can. We always end up selling all of the tickets so do not hesitate or you might get left without.
There will be complimentary refreshments before the bus leaves. There might even be some courts available to play on after the fact if watching inspires you.
If you reading this and are a junior (or the parent of a junior) that is entitled to a makeup, don't forget to inquire about when the make up can be had. Generally, it is the week after the JDP session ends.
Also, if you are on a season court and have one or more make-ups, you can make them up whenever a court is available, for the amount of time that your season court plays for.
We should have everything on record, but call us to inquire if you are not sure or want to confirm a date for your make-up.
Our 10 and under and 14 and under junior teams have reached the districts!
It goes without saying that they have played great tennis. Hopefully it will continue and they will be successful during the high level of competition in districts and beyond.
Stay focused and don't just be happy to be there. Play to win!
12's: Due to insufficient number of players we withdrew.
14's: Ranked first ahead of Manchester by 18 games. That could change…as some teams have not yet entered all their scores yet.
18's: Ranked second behind Farmington Valley by 30 games.
Again, let me congratulate the players and the parents for your dedication and hard work! We've come a long way together as a team and we will become even better in the future. Team practice will be running at the same time: Saturday 9:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. I encourage you to attend, especially high school players. The goal is to play year round, if possible.
Thank you and see you on the court!
Beginning in October, we have had a variety of special group lessons set up for high school tennis programs, including Newington High School, Plainville High School, Wethersfield High School, Watkinson High School, Southington High School and Conard High School.
We sincerely appreciate the effort the players have put forth throughout the course of the lessons and each of the instructors involved have taken much pleasure in seeing such improvement in all facets of the game in such a short period of time.
We would like to wish all of those who came in good luck in the upcoming season.There was a very high level of skill displayed and we hope that it will continue and translate into victories during the season. We have confidence that there were conference tournament champions and potentially a state tournament champion at our club during these group lessons. We're rooting for you.
Special mention goes out to the Plainville Boys Team, which will be participating in tennis for the first time since 2003. You guys are making history and have the chance to begin a legacy at your school. No matter what happens, stick with it and hang in there.
Every now then, the Tennis Center will put up some tennis tips that could be able to help your mental and physical performance on the courts. Consider this the first installment.
Mark McGwire leads the major leagues in home runs, and in blank stares. Visualization, he calls it. Before each at-bat McGwire will imagine the pitcher throwing the baseball. He will imagine how the pitch will move, maybe a fastball or a curveball, and he will imagine smashing the ball with his Paul Bunyan swing.
It is more than just a buzz word spoken by motivational speakers across the globe. If done correctly, visualization can help you in pre-match prep as well as before or during any set, game, or point in a match (depending on how much you decide to employ this).
Envisioning yourself doing something on the court, while in deep focus for a sustained amount of time before you step foot on the court, helps you to stay calm and feel confident as well as assist the physical aspect of the sport by performing a bit of a reverse direction in the muscle memory phenomenon and help you execute the strategies, tactics and shots that you previously envisioned executing in specific situations.
It is also important to keep in mind that you are not playing against yourself, so visualizing some of your opponent's play beforehand to the degree that you know them as a player will truly make this endeavor successful.
Lastly, the key to making this all work is to do this with a clear, stable, mind and emotional state. I'm sure most everybody goes into a match with a base strategy, optimistically seeing every game as a potential a hold of serve or a break, and perhaps every point with some sort of pre-determined general strategy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't…but I can guarantee you that it is more likely to contribute positively to your play if it is well thought out in a peaceful mental state. Going into a point upset about previous happenings and saying to yourself, "I'm going to go for a huge winner down the line off the serve" may work, but thinking the same thing while remaining calm is much more likely to be fruitful because you are likely to not rush the return when the serve comes around. This means you will have better footwork, better technique and are more likely to connect on the sweet spot rather than potentially just reaching for the ball and swinging for the fences out of frustration.
Of course, it is easier said than done, but I have had some success over time through the use of visualization, and have also seen a good deal of success of others through visualization. It also translates to many (if not all) sports, and perhaps other facets of your life as well.
Welcome To The Newington Tennis Center!
**News as of 9/27/14**: We are set up at the Connecticut Convention Center today and tomorrow for the NBC Connecticut Health Festival. We expect to see thousands of people throughout the two days during the festival and are excited to introduce some of them to the game of tennis and to our wonderful tennis center.

Name game: the Languedoc's new appellations
By Christine Boggis
| 23 March, 2015
Rising prices have forced the Languedoc – the engine room of France's bulk wine production – to look at more premium offers and establish itself as a top-quality wine region, not a bargain basement.
Producers, agents and buyers have welcomed winemaking improvements and regions such as Terrasses du Larzac and La Clape are upgrading their appellations.
Many in the region are delighted by these developments, saying they are signals of improving quality and more structure helps to trade up consumers.
Advini UK export manager Cédric Deniset says: "Languedoc is building its own map of AOPs based on specific terroirs, and developing its identity as a quality region of production.
"We are seeing several multiple retailers begin to develop AOPs with their own-brand format. Some AOPs, such as Côtes du Roussillon, Pic St Loup and St Chinian have become attractive as they bring a point of difference from the standard Languedoc or Corbières AOP."
Badet Clement president and winemaker Laurent Delaunay agrees: "It is a really important development for enhancing the quality image of the Languedoc, as more terroirs are being given the recognition they deserve."
Les Grands Chais de France has switched its focus from IGP to AOP wines. Director Tim North says: "They make a nice point of difference. What is working best from the appellations is chateau and domaine wines, which offer a distinction for the wines more than just the AOP name."
Free Run Wines is putting all its focus on to AOPs from the region, and director Nicolas Bauer says varietal wines from southern France are no longer competitive compared with Spain, Italy and the New World.
"AOP wines from the Languedoc are finally starting to be recognised as a category of huge potential and breadth, while consumers and retailers are perhaps moving away from IGP," he says.
Isabelle Pangault, winemaker and brand ambassador for Les Vignobles Foncalieu, is seeing more UK consumers getting interested in Languedoc AOPs. She notes: "Picpoul de Pinet AOP was the first to follow that path in 2013. It became popular first on the French market and now in the UK and the US."
Coastal La Clape, a former island with limestone cliffs, is to become the Languedoc's first and only communal appellation.
Vianney Fabre, business manager of Château d'Anglès, which makes all its reds and whites under La Clape AOP, says: "It means that Languedoc is finally getting structured, like Bordeaux, Burgundy or the Rhône, with some 'grands crus' – terroirs such as La Clape – and wider appellations.
"The main trend in the Languedoc is definitely to produce less and better. For the past 15 years amazing winemakers have come to showcase terroir that has outstanding potential, and today we see the first results of the new Languedoc age: true, serious wines with amazing value for money. I see fantastic potential for unoaked wines between £8-£12 and oaked ones for £15-£20. At these price points you can get unrivalled quality wines of terroir in the Languedoc."
For some, more subdivisions are not helping this diverse region to build up a coherent identity.
Katie Jones of Domaine Jones makes some of her wines under AOP Fitou, "because it is easy to pronounce and has a loyal following and well-established history in the UK". But she warns that breaking up the region into more "unpronounceable" AOPs will not help the Languedoc's overall image.
She says: "It's a case of running before you can walk. The big area of Sud de France has been created and the next logical level would be to try to raise awareness of the Languedoc. Other than the more familiar and longstanding Languedoc AOPs, such as Corbières, Minervois and Fitou, I don't think the majority of UK consumers are ready for further subdivisions of the Languedoc."
Jones adds: "Languedoc is the most rocking wine area in France, and there is great freedom in winemaking here. There is real opportunity, particularly with specialist and independent merchants, at the mid to premium end. Innovative and creative winemakers are shaking themselves free from the restrictions of the classification system to be able to showcase interesting varieties and unusual and new styles under their own estate name rather than overcomplicate things with an AOP."
Thibault Lavergne, founder of agency Wine Story says: "There is a real aspiration for a simplified offer. The Languedoc is becoming a well-known name on foreign markets. It is now recognised as a southern French region, producing high quality wines at very affordable prices. But I am not sure how many consumers would be familiar with Terrasses du Larzac, for instance.
"Terrasses du Larzac produces excellent wines and I am by no means trying to criticise it but, from a marketing point of view, is it necessarily a good idea to create a standalone appellation?
"French officials should perhaps resist the temptation to give in to the lobbying of local politicians and keep the clarification of the offer in mind."
Stéphane Kandler, owner of Château Tourril, says: "The upside is the appellation system has helped to raise the level and create new quality standards. The downside is that adding more appellations is going to confuse the consumer, which is not a good thing while the [retail] offer becomes richer with wines from all over the world. My bet is that it is more the individual names – of winemakers, chateaux or growers – which will make for commercial success."
Andrew Steel, owner of Connoisseur Estates, which distributes Château d'Anglès, says: "We recognise how important it is to differentiate the individual terroirs of the Languedoc – distances across the Languedoc are several hundred kilometres, so it is not all the same.
"However, the message must not become too complicated as it will only confuse consumers. We need clear and concise information for the public and the producers need to work together to promote the region.
"The Rhône is a great example of this. It has succeeded in having a very strong generic message for the whole region, while highlighting the different terroirs within that. The various regions of the Languedoc have a huge opportunity to fly the flag by working together as a family of wines, and vested interests should not stand in the way."
Mark Walford, owner of Le Soula, says more growers are making wines under the overarching Vin de France appellation. "Buyers place more confidence in the name of a trusted producer than in an appellation."
And for Eric Monin, chief winemaker for Boutinot's Domaine de l'Olibet, IGP d'Oc still holds the most potential, "if we can have a good crop". He adds: "The current lack of grapes is still a problem in this regard."

Facebook has been aggressively taking measures to curb the spread of misinformation ahead of the General Elections in India.
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 1 (ANI): In its latest efforts at curbing the nuisance of spam and inauthentic behaviour that is rampant on its platform, Facebook has announced to have removed more than 600 pages or accounts from India, and more than 100 pages or account from Pakistan.
In the official blog, Nathaniel Gleicher, Head of Cybersecurity Policy at Facebook wrote that a total of 103 pages, groups, and accounts on both Facebook and Instagram were removed for engaging in coordinated inauthentic behaviour. These originated in Pakistan and were linked to the country's military fan pages.
Separately, 687 Facebook pages and accounts originating in India, were also removed. Interestingly, these were linked to individuals associated with an IT Cell of the Indian National Congress (INC).
In another set of removals, 15 Facebook pages, groups, and accounts engaging in coordinated inauthentic behaviour in India, linked to Indian IT firm, Silver Touch, were also pulled down. 321 pages and accounts in India, were also removed down for breaking Facebook's rules against spam.
Gliecher explained that people behind this activity coordinated with one another and used fake accounts to misrepresent themselves. The action was taken against the pages and accounts based on the behaviour and not the content they posted.

AHIS is proudly affiliated and accredited by a variety of organizations one of which is UNESCO (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization). Global UNESCO is just one of the many ways AHIS students are exposed to the important role of the international community. A hands-on opportunity for students to participate in global projects on and off campus is the Model United Nations (MUN) in which students are provided an opportunity to apply their unique individual abilities in a dynamic and exciting forum that emphasizes problems solving, diplomacy and global understanding. In the MUN program students learn the process of negotiations, discussions, diplomacy and lively debate which is the cornerstone of the United Nations activity. During the program delegates are expected to research a specific country and relative global issues, write a policy statement and resolution, give an opening speech, participate in lobbying and be fully active in the debate process. Delegates learn the values of cooperation, reconciliation and how to deal with confrontation. Students who have successfully completed a BAHMUN experience can be justifiably proud of their accomplishments.

Aims: To assess the role of diabetic education in increasing awareness about hypoglycemia and decreasing hypoglycemic symptoms in diabetics. Materials and Methods: This is a longitudinal study involving the use of a structured questionnaire for obtaining baseline information related to knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) of diabetic patients regarding hypoglycemia. Then the patients were given diabetic education by the treating doctor regarding hypoglycemia, its symptoms and prevention; the effect of which was assessed by repeating the same questionnaire after a month. The occurrence of hypoglycemic symptoms was also compared before and after diabetic education. Results: There is a significant improvement in all parameters like KAP with diabetic education. The hypoglycemic episodes also decrease significantly. Conclusions: Proper diabetic education is seen to improve the knowledge and attitude of the diabetic patients toward hypoglycemia. This leads to improved practices of such patients and decrease hypoglycemic episodes in them.

Hypoglycemia is one of the most common complications of diabetes management. The over enthusiastic approach in maintaining tight blood sugar control so as to reduce the long-term complications of diabetes have resulted in increase in frequency of this complication. This situation seems to get worsened with use of combination of anti-diabetic drugs.
The American Diabetes Association defines the hypoglycemia as "any abnormally low plasma glucose concentration that exposes the subject to potential harm", and proposes a threshold of <70 mg%. [1] The spectrum of symptoms depends on duration and severity of hypoglycemia and varies from autonomic activation to behavioral changes to altered cognitive function to seizures or coma. The short and long-term complications include neurologic damage, trauma, cardiovascular events and death. [2] There can be a six fold higher incidence of death, increased costs of medical care, and loss of productivity due to hypoglycemia. [3] Apart from patient-related factors like lifestyle and comorbid conditions of the patients, various other factors like choice, dose, timing and combination of anti-diabetic drugs together with simultaneous use of other interacting drugs can increase the risk of hypoglycemia in diabetics.
Some studies have been conducted to evaluate the knowledge and awareness about hypoglycemia in diabetics. But in this study we have tried to evaluate how successful can diabetic education prove to be in improving the awareness of hypoglycemia and the practices adopted by the diabetics for its prevention. This would be helpful in formulating certain strategies that can keep a check on this common complication of diabetes treatment.
The study is a longitudinal study conducted between May 2014 and November 2014. The diabetic patients attending out-door facility of the hospital and who were being treated with oral hypoglycemic drugs were included in the study after obtaining their written informed consent. Diabetic patients on insulin therapy were not included in the study. Some important demographic characteristics of the patients like age, gender, education level were studied. The patients were then given a predesigned and pretested performa to fill the questionnaire. The questionnaire was given in Hindi for easy comprehension of the patients and their attendants. They were then prior asked for ability to read and comprehend the questionnaire. In the case of illiterate patients and attendants, the questionnaire was filled up with the help of treating doctor. The questionnaire had 20 questions to assess the knowledge (7), attitude (7) and practices (6) (KAP) of the diabetic patients toward prevention of hypoglycemia. The knowledge part of the questionnaire was to assess the knowledge of the possibility of hypoglycemic episodes in the diabetic patients and its common symptoms. The questions asked from the patients to judge his knowledge aspect are given in [Table 1]. Attitude part of the questionnaire was to evaluate the beliefs of the patient regarding simple preventive measures for avoiding hypoglycemia. The practice part of the questionnaire was to judge how the knowledge and attitudes of the patients are practically put into action. Each correct response was given a score of "one" and each wrong answer or unsure response was given a score of "zero". Seven questions from Stanford questionnaire [4] were also included in the performa to check the incidence of hypoglycemic symptoms in the patients in the past 1-week. The symptoms enquired were morning headaches, nightmares, night sweats, light headedness, shakiness or weakness, intense hunger and passing out episodes. The maximum possible score for each of the observed parameter was seven except for "practices" parameter where the maximum score was 6. After filling the performa, the diabetic patients and their attendants were educated by the treating doctor regarding possibility of hypoglycemia as a complication of diabetes treatment, its consequences, common hypoglycemic symptoms and some simple precautions to be taken to avoid its occurrence. Patients were also advised to adopt the practice of self-monitoring of blood glucose. Dose and timing of drug administration was not changed. The patients were followed up after a month and again given the same KAP questionnaire to check for improvement in their KAP toward hypoglycemia. The incidence of hypoglycemic episodes in the last 1-week was again checked with the help of Stanford questionnaire. The mean scores for each parameter were calculated. The baseline scores and the follow-up scores were compared by paired t-test to assess the effect of diabetes care education on prevention of hypoglycemic episodes and improvements in KAP of diabetic patients toward hypoglycemia.{Table 1}
Out of 137 patients who were given questionnaire, only 109 patients were included for the final analysis. Rest of the patients were lost to follow-up. Out of these 109 patients, 63 (57.79%) were males and rest 46 (42.20%) were females. The mean age of the patients at the time of inclusion in the study is 53.8 ± 1.1 years. The demographic characteristics of the patients are included in [Table 2].{Table 2}
The mean baseline scores and postdiabetic education scores for each parameter like KAP and hypoglycemic symptoms are summarized in [Table 3]. It is evident that there is a significant (P < 0.001) improvement in the KAP of diabetics after diabetic education. This translates into a significant reduction in the hypoglycemic symptoms occurring in these patients.{Table 3}
The percentage of patients responding correctly to each individual question of each parameter is indicated in [Figure 1], [Figure 2] and [Figure 3]. [Figure 4] indicates the comparison of hypoglycemic.{Figure 1}{Figure 2}{Figure 3}{Figure 4}
There is a big lacuna in the existing knowledge and attitude regarding hypoglycemia in diabetics. The possibility of hypoglycemia and its common symptoms are known to only a few. Although many patients give importance to timely intake of meals and medicines, but the attitude toward other parameters like self-monitoring of blood glucose, keeping toffees or candies for an emergency situation and avoiding excessive exercises is largely lacking. With regard to practices, the situation is even worse. Many patients who had good knowledge and beliefs about hypoglycemia did not still put it into practice. Apart from a lack of awareness, forgetfulness and busy job schedule of the patients were the most common reasons, which did not allow a large number of patients to be self-disciplined regarding timely intake of meals and medicines. Among the patients who knew about the importance of self-monitoring of blood glucose levels, many were not able to implement it due to lack of resources and education. Many patients suffered from hypoglycemic symptoms in the past 1-week, as judged by the Stanford questionnaire. Out of all the symptoms, weakness, shakiness, and intense hunger were most frequently complained of.
With diabetic education, there is a significant improvement both in knowledge and attitude of the patients. A significant number of patients now know about the possibility of hypoglycemia in diabetics and the dangerous nature of hypoglycemic episodes. The knowledge about the symptoms of hypoglycemia has also increased. A lot of patients have started believing in the importance of knowing about the hypoglycemic symptoms so as to prevent them. Attitude toward timely intake of meals and medicines also showed good improvement. Although there is an improvement in the practices of the patient also but it was not equivalent to the improvement in knowledge and attitude of the patients. Best-followed practices were regular and timely intake of meals and medicines. A large number of patients also started paying attention to warning episodes of hypoglycemia. But, unfortunately, the practice of self-monitoring of blood glucose and keeping toffees and candies as an emergency measure was least commonly followed. Although there has been a significant decrease in the overall hypoglycemic symptom score (Stanford score) after diabetic education, but the complaint of night sweats and light headedness did not decrease even after diabetic education. The decrease in overall hypoglycemic symptom score is due to less hypoglycemic episodes seen in the patients and is indicative of the good influence of diabetic education on the patients.
Thus, proper diabetic education provides us with a ray of hope of improving the knowledge and attitude of the patients and decreasing the hypoglycemic episodes in diabetics. But one of the major challenges in the way of diabetic education is busy time schedule of the doctors that does not allow adequate time for their interaction with the patients. Low literacy level of the patients and their attendants leading onto incomplete interpretation of the instructions is another major problem. Many of the patients tend to forget the advices given by the health care providers, but this problem may largely be overcome by repeated health education and motivation.
The hypoglycemic symptoms as judged by Stanford questionnaire were not backed up with biochemical confirmation. The questionnaire enquired about the hypoglycemic symptoms in the past 1-week only. "Recall bias" was another limitation of the study as the answers to the questionnaire were largely subjected to patient's memory. Only one session of diabetic education was given to the patients before their next evaluation.
Proper diabetic education of diabetic patients can prove to be very valuable tool for prevention of hypoglycemia. But the important hurdles in its way are busy and hectic schedule of health care providers, low literacy level and forgetfulness of the patients and their attendants, busy jobs of some of the patients and their low socio-economic levels. In spite of these obstacles, repeated and regular education, motivation and encouragement of the patients can not only improve the knowledge of the patients but also reduce the gap between knowledge and practices.

People have always been fascinated by scenes of rugged geologic splendor, places which give witness to awesome powers at work in nature. Clifty Falls State Park, with its deeply cut gorges, sheet rock walls and plunging waterfalls, is such a place. Like the proverbial cowboy who first viewed the Grand Canyon one cannot help think, "Something has happened here!"
Clifty Falls and the nearby Ohio River are products of the Ice Age. The Ohio River is a trench cut by sand and gravel laden melt waters of the glacial ice mass and basically marks the southern most advance of the glaciers which came from the north. Clifty Falls and its canyon are a subsequent erosion feature. From the lip of Clifty Falls at an elevation near the general level of the county, Clifty Creek plunges down more than 70 feet. In nearly three miles of canyon, the creek descends another 250 feet to the Ohio River below. There are four major waterfalls and numerous minor ones in the park.
The 425 million-year-old hales and limestones of the park are among the oldest bedrock exposures in Indiana. They are some 100 million years older than the sandstones and shales of the south central 'Knobs' region and nearly 150 million years older than the coal-bearing deposits of southwestern Indiana. An abundance of fossil remains of ancient marine life are interred in the formation of the rock.
In 1853, the Madison and Indianapolis Railroad Company began work on a railway which was to have run west from Madison then up Clifty Creek Canyon and Dean's Branch to connect with the mail line about one mile north of Madison. Two tunnels were planned for the 4 3/4 mile line. The lower tunnel was barely started and excavation of the upper tunnel which traverses the cliff just south of the Tunnel Falls was in progress when financial problems made it necessary to suspend operations. Portions of the park's hiking trails follow the original grade and several piers and trestle abutments may still be seen.
For many years, the park consisted of 617 acres which included the falls, the canyon and the immediate upland rim. In 1965, the park was more than doubled in size by the acquisition of adjoining upland fields from the Madison State Hospital. This 'old field' area has provided the space needed for modern recreational demands. The city of Madison and the Ohio River Valley make up the panorama seen from Clifty Inn.

A drunk driver crashed their truck through a fence at Chattanooga police headquarters (Contributed photo/Chattanooga Police Department).
An alleged drunk driver crashed through a fence at Chattanooga police headquarters late Friday night.
The driver was identified as Darwin Patterson, 45. He was charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, driving left of the center line, reckless driving, driving under the influence 2nd offense, no proof of insurance and driving without a license.
A Chattanooga police officer pumping gas at the Amnicola Highway facility heard tires squealing and an engine revving before he heard a loud boom, more squealing tires and another boom shortly after 11 p.m., according to an affidavit. He then found a red pickup truck had crashed into a telephone pole before driving into a fence surrounding the service center.
The driver refused to answer the officer's questions, stating over and over he was afraid of white police, according to the affidavit. He also gave the officer a fake name, according to the affidavit. The officer believed the man was drunk due to his slurred speech and the smell of alcohol. He was taken to a local hospital to get stitches in his lip from an injury sustained during the crash.
While at the hospital, Patterson cursed loudly and "got up into Officer Cookes face and squared up to him like he wanted to fight," according to the affidavit.
Patterson was then restrained while the doctor finished stitching his lip. He was then taken to the county jail.
Officers served Patterson with a search warrant to test his blood alcohol level. Patterson refused to allow nurses to take a blood sample and attempted to fight the corrections officers, according to the affidavit. He was put into a restraining chair so blood could be drawn. Results of the test are pending.
Patterson was also charged with a DUI in 2003.
The department account tweeted the following message: "DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE, but if you choose to...crashing the vehicle you are driving at police headquarters makes it much easier for CPD Officers to arrest you. #dontdrinkanddrive"
Updated at 4:54 p.m. with information from an affidavit.


Vascular Lesions also commonly known as spider veins or small varicose veins are caused by broken capillaries that are made up of tiny blood vessels that become visible near the surface of the skin and appear as web-like, or streaks or blotches on the skin. The broken capillaries appear to close the surface of the skin and are often red or blue in colour.
When Do We Recommend Vein Removal Treatment?
If Spider Veins or Vascular Lesions have become visible on any part of the body that have been causing you concern or embarrassment, a course of Vein Removal treatment will be beneficial. All skin areas and skin types can be treated. Popular areas are the face, neck, chest and legs. Discuss your needs with your specialist.
Your specialist will use SCITON PROFILE Clearscan™ to restore your skin's youthful appearance. Broken capillaries and other damaged vascular structures will be gently eliminated from the visible layers of your skin's surface using Laser Vein Removal treatments. The laser delivers light energy and thereby gentle heat to the skin area being treated, blending away the veins and vascular lesions, and restoring the clarity of the skin's appearance.
The red blood cells absorb the light energy delivered by the precise laser, heating the blood so that the vessel walls collapse, the vessel is blocked and the flow of the blood is stopped. The damaged vessels die and are absorbed by the body.
The Melrose Aesthetic Centre can give you all the guidance and advice you need on preparing for a Laser Vein Removal treatment, and post-treatment care and precautions.
This treatment allows your specialist to precisely treat visible vessels, broken capillaries, and spider veins. It will be tailored to match your skin condition and desired result.
The treatment parameters selected with the smart user interface are precisely delivered for the ultimate in consistency and reproducibility. A large area sapphire plate controls the temperature of the skin for comfort and safety.
There is very little risk of any kind associated with this procedure.
A course of 2 – 3 sessions will be required to get the desired results.


Administration of methoxamine (10 microM, 2 min) to perfused rat hearts increased the rate at which subsequently isolated mitochondria accumulated Ca2+. Methoxamine did not change significantly the development of delta phi with time or the basal rates of Ca2+ flux on inhibition of the uniporter with Ruthenium Red. With 200 microM-Pi, the rates of Ca2+ uptake at constant delta phi were unaffected by the small variations in endogenous [Pi] between mitochondrial preparations, and were also unaffected by changes in internal Ca2+ over the approximate range 8-43 nmol of Ca2+/mg. At low internal Ca2+ (about 8 nmol/mg of protein) the rates of Ca2+ uptake at constant delta phi were unaffected by addition of 200 microM-Pi. Under these conditions, the uniporter activity and the uniporter conductance were increased by 38-40% by methoxamine pretreatment. The endogenous Ca2+ content of mitochondria from control heart was about 1.8 nmol of Ca2+/mg of protein. Perfusion with agonist increased the Ca2+ content as follows: 10 microM-methoxamine (2 min), 48%; 1 microM-isoprenaline (2 min), 100%; 1 microM-adrenaline (2 min), 140%. The implications of the data for the adrenergic control of oxidative metabolism by intramitochondrial Ca2+ is discussed.

Abū Qīr Bay, also called Abukir Bay, or Aboukir Bay, semicircular inlet of the Mediterranean Sea, lying between Abū Qīr Point (southwest) and the mouth of the Rosetta Branch (northeast) of the Nile River delta, in Lower Egypt. The bay was the scene of the Battle of the Nile (1798), in which an English fleet under Rear Admiral Sir Horatio Nelson defeated the French fleet, thus cutting off communications with France and eventually contributing to the early departure of French troops from Egypt. A natural-gas field, developed offshore in the late 1970s, provides energy for industries around Alexandria.
