Objective: To find the causes and characteristics of uveitis and its subtypes among Pakistani population, and to create awareness that early diagnosis and treatment of uveitis requires a multi-disciplinary approach.
Methods: The retrospective study involved 98 diagnosed uveitis patients. Data was analysed regarding associated systemic diseases, infections, ocular syndromes, anatomical localisation, age, and gender.
Results: In 85% of the patients, a classified form of uveitis was observed: associated systemic diseases were found in 24%, the most frequent one being sarcoidosis (9.8%) and V-K-H syndrome (7.4%); ocular syndromes were present in 10%, the most frequent being birdshot retinochoroidopathy (6.1%) and pars planitis (3.7%); and infections in 48%, the most frequent being tuberculosis (50.6%) and hepatitis (4.9%). Among classified uveitis, posterior uveitis was found in 46%, intermediate uveitis in 10% and anterior uveitis in 7% of the patients. Panuveitis was diagnosed in 36% of cases. The remaining 1% showed extrauveal manifestations.
Conclusions: Causes of uveitis vary considerably by geographic location around the world. Granulomatous diseases are the most frequent cause of uveitis in Pakistan. Hence, detailed and expensive investigations in our context are not justified in all patients. The data offer guidance to rheumatologists and consultant physicians to facilitate efficient diagnostic testing.
Keywords: Uveitis, Epidemiology, Ocular syndrome, Infections (JPMA 62: 92; 2012).
Inflammation of the uveal tract or the adjacent ocular structures is defined as uveitis. International Uveitis Study Group (IUSG) has categorised uveitis as anterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis and an additional term, panuveitis, has also been explicated.1
Uveitis frequently conceals the diagnosis of ocular involvement related to underlying systemic disease, out of which approximately 40% are identified as immune-mediated.2 A genetic predisposition may also account for the development of uveitis in some patients.3 The recognition of uveitis is important to an ophthalmologist, but the diagnosis of underlying systemic disease or infection requires multi disciplinary approach more often by an internist and a rheumatologist. The disease spectrum and its pathogenesis range from autoimmunity to neoplasia to viruses. Hence, the diagnostic process holds out a challenge and is mainly clinical. Despite improvement in diagnostic techniques and treatment methodologies, uveitis continues to be one of the major causes of visual impairment.4
Epidemiological knowledge of uveitis is crucial for diagnosis, without any need for unnecessary investigations, which varies widely.5 Age, gender, race, geographic location, travel history, social habits and occupation; all contribute to the causes.6 Awareness of such differences in the disease pattern is constitutive in deriving a region-specific list of differentials, which, in turn, facilitates the final diagnosis. Factors contributing to such regional variations in the causes of uveitis are complex and not understood completely, but include both host and environmental factors.
Many small and large cohort studies on the subject have been conducted in the developed and the developing countries.7-15 However, a cohort study on the subject has never been conducted and published in Pakistan, except for a few small single centre based studies.16,17 This study of ours presents a cohort of uveitis patients referred from all over Pakistan to the largest eye hospital of the country.
The objective was to find the causes and characteristics of uveitis and its subtypes among Pakistani population. The secondary objective was to create awareness amongst the treating physicians/ophthalmologists that early diagnosis and treatment of uveitis requires a multi-disciplinary approach.
A retrospective cohort was carried out on the basis of six months\' medical records i.e. from Jan to June 2010 of all the diagnosed uveitis patients referred to Jinnah Medical College Hospital (JMCH) from Layton Rahmatullah Benevolent Trust (LRBT) charitable eye hospital.
Founded in 1984, LRBT is the largest eye hospital group of the country, with 40 primary-eye-care clinics, 14 secondary eye-care hospitals and 2 tertiary-eye-hospitals providing free ophthalmologic treatment. Virtually, no Pakistani citizen is 200km away from an LRBT facility. A well-equipped uveitis clinic, being operated by a team of consultant ophthalmologists, has been recently established at its main hospital, which is one of the tertiary care hospitals located in Karachi. Uveitis patients are referred here from all over Pakistan. Patients requiring medical advice are referred to the nearby JMCH for systemic evaluation. JMCH is a tertiary care teaching hospital, with fully operational multi disciplinary departments affiliated with the University of Karachi and providing health facilities to the neighbouring industrial area and slums of Karachi.
Based on diagnostic and anatomic classification criteria, adopted from Standardisation of Uveitis Nomenclature (SUN) workshop18 and IUSG1 we included and excluded uveitis and extrauveal disease as defined and classified by Jakob et al7 described below.
Uveal and extrauveal inflammatory eye disease is divided into two major groups (Classified and Unclassified). When no associated condition was found, in spite of the extensive examination and workup, the term Unclassified was used. Classified group was further divided into three sub-groups: ocular syndrome, infectious origin or systemic association. Clearly defined uveitis syndromes restricted to the eye19 (e.g., sympathetic ophthalmia, pars planitis, birdshot retinochoroidopathy) with no systemic involvement were included in ocular syndromes. Masquerade syndromes,19 which are non-infectious processes mistaken for inflammatory processes, and patients lost during follow-up were excluded.
Detailed ophthalmological examination was carried out by a specialist at LRBT. For systemic evaluation and diagnosing associated disease, most patients were referred to consultant physicians at JMCH. A detailed medical history, clinical examination by respective specialist and basic tests consisting of blood cell count, chemistry, serology and radiographs were performed. Subsequent tailored investigations, including HLA typing and CT scan chest, were ordered depending on suspected associations as described by Becker et al.20 All findings were recorded manually and a separate file was maintained for individual patients. One final diagnosis, and management plan in each case was mutually decided by an ophthalmologist, and a consultant physician. Except for a few cases where two conditions co-existed, only one major condition was considered as the final diagnosis.
The data was first collected on a specifically designed performa, and then analysed for frequencies of uveitis and its sub-types with regards to gender, age of onset, laterality and anatomic localisation. Analysis was done by one of the authors, using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16. The confidentiality of personal information was maintained throughout the study.
During the study period, medical records of 98 uveitis patients (46 male, 52 female) were analysed. Male-to-female ratio was found to be 0.88:1 and mean age 35.09 ± 14.41 (range 15-72 years). Disease onset was seen most frequently among middle aged (30-50 years) males (37%) and females (58%). Females above 50 years of age formed the smallest group of patients. Although patients were referred from all over Pakistan, but were mostly from the province of Sindh (44.9%) followed by Punjab (23.5%), Kashmir (14.3%), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (10.2%) and Balochistan (7.1%). This ethnic distribution can be explained by the fact that both the centres are located in Karachi, Sindh. Uveitis was bilateral in 65 patients, while the rest had unilateral disease.
Among the types 85% were Classified, whereas 15% had Unclassified uveitis. In the Classified group, infection was the leading cause of uveitis and 2% of the patients had masquerade syndrome. Furthermore, one patient had an infection and systemic disease concurrently (Figure-1).
In terms of age distribution and gender of patients with Classified uveitis, ocular syndrome was found mainly among 25-55 years old males (60%). Among ocular syndrome, sympathetic ophthalmia was seen mostly among 25-30 years old, pars planitis in 30-40 years, and birdshot retinochoroidopathy among 45-50 years old. Uveitis of infectious origin was prevalent in females (55%). Tuberculosis was common in 30-35 years old patients, hepatitis in 25-30 years and toxoplasmosis in 20-30 years old patients. Of all systemic associated uveitis, 56.5% were females and mainly young adults (15-20 years old). Spondyloarthropathies were common among 20-25 years old, sarcoidosis in 15-20 years, rheumatoid arthritis in 35-40 years, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome in 40-45 years, Behcet\'s syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in 20-25 years old patients (Figure-2).
Among 47 patients with uveitis due to infectious origin, 41 had tuberculosis. This includes solitary tuberculous uveitis and also systemic tuberculosis along with tuberculous uveitis. Hepatitis C was the second most common infectious cause of uveitis in the study population. Anti-HCV was found positive in 4 of 47 patients with no other significant causes. Out of 23 systemic-associated uveitis, 8 patients suffered from sarcoidosis, making it the second most common cause (Figure-2).
Among patients who had uveitis with an ocular syndrome, the most frequent cases were those of birdshot retinochoroidopathy (50%) and pars planitis (30%). Pars planitis may sometimes be associated with sarcoidosis or occasionally show manifestation of multiple sclerosis, but is usually not associated with any other systemic disease.
As regards anatomic localization, anterior and intermediate uveitis was found in 20% of the total (20/98). Of them 57% were males with anterior uveitis and 63.6% were females with intermediate uveitis. Posterior uveitis was found in 48%, with females being the most affected (53%). Panuveitis was found in 30% of the patients with almost equal gender distribution. The remaining 2% (2/98) cases had extrauveal manifestations (Table).
Among the Classified group, posterior uveitis was the most common finding followed by panuveitis in which birdshot retinochoroidopathy, tuberculosis and sarcoidosis were mostly prevalent. Tuberculosis was seen in all anatomical locations more commonly as posterior. In this study SLE was the only extrauveal finding.
The age distribution in the study was such that 46.1% of the patients were between 30 and 50 years and with a mean age of 35.9 years. In previous clinic-based surveys, similar mean age of onset of uveitis was found.8,9,12 Our observation, that uveitis is less common among the young and the elderly, is supported by the literature.9 The literature offers some dispute about the male-to-female ratio in uveitis. With few exceptions14,17 most studies report more prevalence in women9-10,12,13 or an equal gender distribution. This corresponds well with our male-to-female ratio of 0.8:1. Factors contributing to such a ratio in uveitis are complex.
Anatomical localisation can give useful information to the clinician about the likely cause of uveitis. As in our cohort, with 46.9%, posterior uveitis has been described in few other cohorts to be the most common form of uveitis.11 Most of the reports published to date have suggested that anterior uveitis is the most common form of uveitis.7,10,15 Possible reason to this pattern is frequent infectious uveitis and common tuberculous uveitis in our patients, which is posterior mainly. Posterior and panuveitis were remarkably common in reports from Africa, which could be attributed to a high incidence of infectious causes such as toxoplasmosis and onchocerciasis which affect mainly the posterior segment. Intermediate uveitis, a rare form of Classified uveitis,15 is usually due to a systemic disease, often sarcoidosis. If extrauveal inflammation such as scleritis occurs, the strategy in the search of associated disease should focus on SLE.
The study demonstrated a frequency of 85% Classified and 15% of Unclassified uveitis. Whereas Iqbal et al17 have stated 51% as Classified and 49% Unclassified uveitis in their study conducted in Peshawar. Arguments supporting our figures could be technology advancement, disease awareness and improvement in diagnosis since the year 2003. Also, our data included diagnosed uveitis patients referred from all over Pakistan, undergone thorough workup by multi-disciplinary approach. This is also different from the literature of Europe and the USA7,15 as they included patients lost during follow-up in their total numbers. Uveitis is mainly idiopathic in developed countries as compared to the developing countries where it is mostly associated with an infectious condition. Reports from less developed and other developing countries also show lesser frequency of Classified uveitis as compared to our study. For instance, Singh et al10 found 51.2% in India. Our study corresponds well to Khairallah et al8 in North Africa and Biziorek et al13 in Poland. They also showed high percentages of Classified as compared to Unclassified uveitis which support our findings.
Infectious conditions (48%) was found to be the largest group among the Classified forms. Their diagnosis is especially important because they require completely different therapies. In our cohort, infections corresponded to the results found by others.21,22 Tuberculosis, already an endemic in this region,23 was also most frequently associated with Classified uveitis (50.6%). The literature from a few countries agreed with our results in that infection most frequently comprised tuberculosis.10-12 This is different from the rest of the world where toxoplasmosis and herpetic infections are more common. Data from other cohorts in Pakistan is approximately similar, but not comparable due to their limited sample size and smaller study universe.
Systemic diseases (24%) was the second most frequent association with uveitis after infections. Literature from the developed countries shows more systemic associated uveitis than infectious origin.7,15 Data from the less-developed and developing countries, however, correspond well with our results, suggesting infections are more prevalent in these regions. The infectious-to-systemic uveitis ratio in these regions are: Singh et al10 in India states 29.7% to 19.1%, Islam et al12 in Saudi Arabia states 36% to 21% and Mercanti et al14 in Italy states 40.3% to 13.6%. High burden of infectious diseases and increasing rates of antimicrobial resistance in South Asia by Zaidi et al21 also supports our result.
Specific ocular syndromes affected fewer patients (10%), and this was reflected in the literature. Among the most frequent conditions overall, however, clearly belonged to the category of ocular syndromes. These were birdshot retinochoroidopathy followed by pars planitis.
Among our cases of Classified uveitis, HLA-B27-positive anterior uveitis without systemic manifestation, Fuchs uveitis syndrome (FUS), herpetic infection, multiple sclerosis and Lyme disease were rarely seen (Table). These differences in causes of uveitis reflect regional and genetic factors. For instance, Behcet\'s disease is rare in the USA and Europe, while it is frequent in countries along the ancient Silk Road. HLA-B27-associated diseases, in contrast, are more common among the Caucasians. Bodaghi, et al25 did not report FUS, herpetic infection, or toxoplasmosis among their most common causes, but instead listed diagnoses such as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome. We also report V-K-H syndrome as the third most frequent cause of uveitis among our patients.
Changing patterns of uveitis are seen in studies from a number of countries done at different periods of time.5 These pattern changes are because of a multitude of factors, including genetic, ethnic, geographic and environmental. Awareness of such regional differences in the disease pattern is essential in deriving a region-specific list of differential diagnoses and also in understanding the predictive values of diagnostic tests, which, in turn, facilitate the final diagnosis.
Causes of uveitis vary considerably by geographic location around the world. The study data and comparison offer guidance for rheumatologists and consultant physicians to facilitate efficient diagnostic testing. The study, on the basis of highly sophisticated data from all over Pakistan, identify anatomic diagnosis and classification by a team of consultant physicians and ophthalmologists. This compared with the rest of the world, and recommended specific diagnostic steps in a given patient with uveitis. Detailed and expensive investigations in a developing country like Pakistan are not justified in all patients. The epidemiological data of our study will benefit doctors and patients across Pakistan as well as in the neighbouring countries on a similar development scale as ours.
Special thanks are extended to the patients who participated in the study. We would also like to acknowledge Dr. Kamran Hameed, Dr. Munira Shakir and Miss Anum Shazad for reviewing the final manuscript.

It's a hell of a thing to be compared to Babe Ruth.
Ruth has become such a cultural touchstone that we've lost an appreciation for just how ridiculously talented the man was. "They're the Babe Ruth of ___" is a relatively common phrase used to describe someone at the pinnacle of their field. Ruth has become synonymous with the general concept of being the best at something, which in and of itself is a relatively simple concept.
But what Ruth did - reaching wild levels of success as both a hitter and pitcher - is possibly the greatest performance-based achievement in the history of sports. He did it in a time when the game was simpler, when there wasn't as deep an understanding of the sciences of hitting and pitching, and when the competition wasn't as fierce as it could have been because of the exclusion of players of color. But putting Ruthian expectations onto a player's shoulders is both a compliment of the highest order and a terrible curse.
Because of his success as both a hitter and pitcher in Japan, it's natural to immediately draw a line between Ruth and Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani is now trying to do it at the sport's highest level, in a country with a different culture and a different language. He's only 23 years old.
He's trying to do it under one hell of a microscope. Every success and failure will be dissected and used as a referendum on his worth as a player and whether the Angels were foolish to try to make this work.
Given the circumstances, it almost feels impossible for Ohtani to succeed and be a true star on both sides of the ball.
But what if he did it?
What if, after settling in to the mayhem that is Major League Baseball, Ohtani found his stroke and mowed down hitters while being one of the Angels' best hitters? What if Ohtani really did become the closest thing possible to a modern Babe Ruth? Do we dare hope that Ohtani will become the brightest star in the sport?
It's far too early to determine whether he will. That's not the point. The point is that Ohtani is trying to do something that hasn't really been attempted since Ruth completely redefined baseball. That he has enough talent to even attempt it feels like a fact that's been underappreciated, as does the fact that he has the courage to do it here at such a young age. Don't forget that Ohtani came here earlier than expected, and in doing so he forfeited an incredible amount of money.
Ohtani is attempting the impossible, and by God, so far he's doing the damn thing. He hit his first big league home run last night.
That came two days after he earned his first win, and it was one of three hits on the night. Slowly but surely, Ohtani is settling in. The big leg kick he displayed in his swing during spring training is gone, replaced with a much subtler and compact toe-point. It's a major adjustment, and one that almost certainly allows him to get to the ball with much more ease. It's a massive shift for someone who just last year hit .332/.403/.540 with that leg kick.
Ohtani is a player committed to greatness. Achieving success as both a hitter and pitcher would be a sign of greatness, and would give Ohtani an argument to hold the distinction of being the best player in the game. If we combine, say, a season's worth of even just Jeff Samardzija-level pitching production with 400 plate appearances' worth of league average hitting, that's at least a five- or six-win player. That's an MVP candidate.
The ominous scouting reports coming out of spring training feel like they surfaced a lifetime ago.
What Ohtani represents is more than just an improbable attempt at immortality. He is unquestionably the most interesting man in the game right now. He is must-see television, if for no other reason than to see whether he can pull it off. His teammates seemed genuinely thrilled for him when he hit his home run, and it's hard not to root for him.
We naturally gravitate toward the extraordinary, toward the unprecedented and the unlikely. Ohtani is unlike anyone we've seen in our lifetimes. He's the sort of player who dares us to dream and extend the mental boundaries of what we consider to be possible. There was never going to be another Babe Ruth. And indeed, that may yet hold true, in the sense that there may never be a player who so thoroughly dominates in both facets of the game. Ohtani has the chance to give him a run for his money.
That alone is one of the most exciting things to happen in baseball in years. Even if Ohtani is merely good and not great as both a hitter and a pitcher, he'll have solidified himself as one of the most gifted athletes ever.
It's just April 4. Ohtani still has much to prove, and still has all the time in the world to fail. Tuesday night was the latest step toward greatness, and another reason to hope that another superstar has arrived in the game.

I used to keep a journal in art school. It was a mix of private written entries, poems, photographs, and small artworks. I'm grateful to early mentors like Minneapolis poet Phebe Hanson for encouraging journal-keeping. I started journaling again a few years ago. The one I have right now is nearing its end; it's so full that it doesn't close properly, and it has all these threads hanging over the edge from projects inside. People wonder what it is, but I don't share because it holds secrets and personal thoughts. This feels like my old authentic creative self - poor, wearing old jeans and converse, carrying my art journal... And that makes me happy.

Erik Scott's A Trick of the Wind Nominated for Multiple Music Awards
Erik Scott's latest album, A Trick of the Wind, is nominated for honors by multiple organizations including the Peace Song Awards, One World Music Awards, and including Album of the Year and Best Contemporary Instrumental Album by the Zone Music Reporter Global Airplay Charts. The ZMR winners will be announced on Saturday, May 18 2019, 6:30 p.m. at the 15th Annual ZMR Awards Concert at The House of Blues New Orleans presented by Cricket Wireless.
San Francisco, CA (March 10, 2019) — A Trick of the Wind is blowing across the globe, attracting multiple award nominations from organizations in Los Angeles, New Orleans, and the U.K. for Erik Scott and his fifth original album A Trick of the Wind. It is nominated for both Album of the Year and Best Contemporary Instrumental Album by Zone Music Reporter Global Airplay Charts; Scott will join the best and brightest artists in the world's ambient, electronic, and contemporary instrumental musicians gathering for the 15th Annual ZMR Awards Concert, a public live music event to be held May 18th, 2019 at 6:30 p.m. at The House of Blues, located in the French Quarter (225 Decatur St., New Orleans, Louisiana 70130, tel: 504-310-4999). Tickets may be purchased online at House of Blues, or at the door in limited quantity.
Scott responded to the nominations, saying "I keep wanting more from music. A heightened sense of beauty, a nuanced artistic performance that inspires… certainly feeling, maybe even action. Coming from the late '60s, we expressed everything with music. Harder to do without lyrical signposts, but wonderful when it happens. I think I feel the appreciation, like these nominations, more as well."
The nominations are plentiful. The album is also nominated for a Best Contemporary Instrumental Album Award by One World Music Radio, which announces its OWM Award winners June 9, 2019. Additionally, several singles off the album are nominated by the Peace Song Awards for "Best Song" in categories including Rock-Pop, Jazz, Acoustic Contemporary, World, and New Age, which speaks to the genre-defying uniqueness of Scott's music.
A Trick of the Wind, written, produced and performed by Scott, is an expansive nine-track set in which the multi-talented musician complements his unusually melodic explorations of fretless and fretted basses with eBow bass, electric piano, organ, synthesizer, sitar, percussion programs, bass generated effects and vocals. Guest artists include John Pirruccello (steel guitar), Celso Alberti (drum loops, acoustic drums & percussion), John Luttrell (electric guitar), Andy Mitran (percussion), Jeff Pearce (guitar synth) and Jeff Oster (trumpet, flugelhorn).
To qualify for a ZMR Award, one must have a top-charting album on the Zone Music Charts in the span of a year, and the qualifying albums are then voted on by global radio broadcasters. The event, in New Orleans each May following JazzFest, has become an annual destination weekend for many ambient, electronic and acoustic music lovers and artists. The Awards show is preceded by a Friday night Meet-and-Greet dinner in an old-world French Quarter setting at The Vacherie on Friday, May 17th, 2019. Details on the weekend's events, tickets, award nominees and presenters can be found at Zone Music Reporter.
Renée Blanche, the host of "Night Tides" on KCUR, will once again be the Zone Music Awards' Master of Ceremonies. The line-up of live performers covers many of the musical styles that ZMR represents including Joseph Akins, Hans Christian, Tom Eaton, Sangeeta Kaur, and Michael Kollwitz.
In 2017, Erik Scott won ZMR Awards for Album of the Year and Best Contemporary Instrumental Album. In The Company of Clouds also reached #1 on the ZMR Global Airplay Chart twice and hit the pole position on the nationally syndicated radio show ECHOES.

Voices for Mental Health: Hare Squead, on sticking together through tough times
By: The Hot Press Newsdesk
We invited a chorus of artists, writers, musicians, broadcasters, sports stars, and more to contribute to Now We're Talking, a mental health campaign, run in partnership with Lyons Tea and Pieta House.
We became a duo when our third member, Jessy Rose, left the group due to his struggles with mental health. Jessy is obviously our brother - we got together and made some really cool music with him - and what happened to him was something that could have happened to anyone. He wasn't in the best mental health state and it affected his creative ability. So him being in that state of mind, he decided to leave the band.
But he's our brother still. We care so much about his well-being and we're still the best of friends. I still talk to Jessy all the time. So we don't judge him. It could've been any one of us in the group. It's difficult dealing with these situations, but we're still a family. If anything, this has taught us to take care of our mental health and just make the smartest decisions you can.
For the people who have friends and family that are suffering, be patient and understand when they're in a space where they feel alone. We're not going through it. They're going through it themselves, and only they know how it feels. So if we can just understand that, and have patience and show them that we love them, that's what's important. It sounds corny, but the corniest things are the truest things. I never thought I'd be saying all this corny shit, but truly, very fucking honestly, you just need to be there for people. Show them we love them; let them know they're not on their own; let them know you care about them; and let them know it's not going to be forever. Yeah man - just be there for the people going through that shit.

Q: Does anyone know why the mice package in R gives me an error on different methods? running into an error using the MICE package in R, specifically when using different methods on columns. I've linked the first 100 rows here, as the actual dataset is quite extensive. The data has 38 columns of mixed data types, though it's a CDC study so they're all entered as numbers. When I run the simple command
imp <- mice(df, print=T)

I get a result, but the method of imputation for each column is pmm. However, some are binary some such as education are ordered categorical and some are unordered categorical. I went through and asked mice to use the following imputation methods on each column
>meth
    STATE  NUMADULT   GENHLTH  PHYSHLTH  MENTHLTH  HLTHPLN1   MEDCOST  CHECKUP1

   "polr"    "polr" "polyreg"     "pmm"     "pmm"     "pmm"

When I use the command
imp <- mice(LLCP2019forimp, meth = meth, print=T)

To tell it to use my selected methods, it goes through exactly 1 imputation with 5 iterations and errors out with this.
Error in colMeans(as.matrix(imp[[j]]), na.rm = TRUE) :

It has only imputed the columns with pmm and ignored the non-numeric data. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I am a current 2nd year student and in October I attended Study Week for the college. My week can be described as it being profound, as well as surprising. First of all, I had the pleasure of meeting fellow distant education students like myself and I finally had a chance to meet wonderful mentors like Andrea, Joyce and Raymond. Everyone had been so welcoming and helpful that it made the education environment very likeable. Day one of Study Week, I was obviously running late since Toronto is a newer environment and the train system was a bit confusing. FYI, Edmonton definitely is a simpler city compared to Toronto! I must say the week was full of great instructors and I thoroughly enjoyed the teaching style and absolutely loved the fact that I was able to finally work out the rubrics for cases as a group, as opposed to my solo days of trying to figure what I am gaining out of this. My background of study is Medicine so looking up rubrics and repertory was definitely not something I had much clue about, but Homeopathy is something that is very close to my heart and I enjoy learning it more and more. The grand surprise for my Study Week came all the way from INDIA. Another homeopathic doctor from India contacted Joyce - she was just visiting family and friends in Toronto. She turned out to be a friend of my parents. I had never met her in person but had spoken to her on the phone a handful of times. She mentioned she would be in Toronto and wanted to meet me, well she was the same doctor from India that had contacted Joyce. Dr. Ami ended up attending a couple of Study Week classes and I had the pleasure of meeting her. Just a Small world or maybe it was destiny! Study Week was definitely a great educational gain and it made me enjoy learning aspects of homeopathy even more. I know I will be back next year and hope it once again is full of surprises! Thank you all for making it a great week and hope to see my distant education team once again very soon!

Renaissance Place, in Highland Park, Illinois, is a city block, mixed use development including five separate buildings whose uses include stand-alone retail, office space and market-rate apartments over street-front retail; all over a below grade parking garage owned by the city. It was an early P3 and a great exercise in giving a city the substantial benefits of comprehensive development without the look and feel of a big development. We were successful in establishing the urban "patterns" and standards that will inform and guide future development… including an important mid-block promenade with "addresses" for the apartments and offices complete with terrace and balcony overlooks and on-grade restaurants. This project is different than most "new urbanism" projects because it is a simple (but affluent) suburban downtown environment like hundreds around the country. It enables a traditional mix of uses... retail, housing, offices, restaurants, and cinema... to succeed because of a careful placement of retail, commercial addresses, and amenities to create a successful "economic engine" that clearly led to the revitalization of the downtown.
Consistent with the underlying goals of new urbanism, this project does not take on the look of a "big development"... but rather maintains the scale and character of the existing urban fabric complete with local vernacular architecture for each of the five buildings that comprise the development. The project survived two years of public review and approvals, peer review, and dramatic value engineering. The public review process was especially difficult, but resulted in a better project and a larger public awareness of design. As a standard for future buildings, Renaissance Place has already improved the quality of subsequent development and design. Just as important, existing merchants are experiencing dramatic increases in customer traffic and sales… and new tenants have exceeded their original sales projections with the "life of the city" visibly flourishing anew.
Our best definition of success: 23 new retailers relocated to the downtown and 6 new downtown residential developments were started within the first year of operation. And every night, the citizens of Highland Park came together as a "community"… right here in Renaissance Place.
Pre-leased before ground-breaking.

Tiphia lotharae — вид ос рода Tiphia из семейства Tiphiidae (Hymenoptera). Индия, Непал.

Описание
Жалящие перепончатокрылые. Длина тела 12,0—13,0 мм. Передняя часть головы шагренирована; мандибулы с небольшим отчётливым преапикальным зубцом; дорсальная сторона пронотума с сильным и полным килем с неясными стыковочными гребнями; латеральная сторона пронотума с изогнутой бороздкой; мезоплеврон шагренирован и с крупными и мелкими точками; метанотум с крупными точками; задняя сторона проподеума без срединного киля; маргинальная ячейка переднего крыла значительно длиннее второй кубитальной ячейки в апикальном расширении. Личинки предположительно, как и близкие виды, паразитируют на пластинчатоусых жуках (Scarabaeidae, Rutelidae, Cetoniinae). Вид был впервые описан в 1975 году американским энтомологом  (1892—1981), а его валидный статус подтверждён в 2022 году.

Q: Splitting video in short clip result in some being empty? I'm trying to split a video (50-100Mo) into several small clips of a few seconds each. I don't need re-encoding, hence my use of codec copy.
However some of the resulting clips don't have any video.
Fast but no video in some files
ffmpeg \
  -y \
  -i ./data/partie-1:-Apprendre-300-mots-du-quotidien-en-LSF.jauvert-laura.hd.mkv \
  -ss 0:00:07.00 \
  -codec copy \
  -loglevel error \
  -to 0:00:10.36 \
  'raw/0:00:07.00.au revoir.mkv'

I also tried -map 0 -c copy, -acodec copy -map 0:a -vcodec copy -map 0:v or no option related to codec.
Slow but complete
No argument related to audio/video encoding, it's working but pretty slow.
ffmpeg -y \
  -i "$SOURCE_VIDEO_FILE" \
  -ss 0:05:37.69 \
  -to 0:05:40.64 \
  -loglevel error
  'raw/0:05:37.69.pas la peine.mkv'

Question
How do I split a video into small chunk ~2-4s when I have no need for re-encoding?
related: https://video.stackexchange.com/q/25365/23799

A: Your constraint can't be satisfied. Some video codecs appear to use chunks, where they start with a complete frame and then store "diffs", so in order to use -vcodec copy, ffmpeg has to honour the chunk boundaries.
Don't use -vcodec copy if you encounter this problem.


Part 2: Shared Services Onshore: A Focus on Women (to be released 24/06).
Both blogs draw on insights from two recent conferences, Women in Procurement (May, 2015) and Shared Services Outsource Week (June) along with experiences over the last 2.5 years of consulting in this space. Key learning and areas of opportunity, particularly when working with Asia and Women in shared services are highlighted. Thank you to the organisers both SSON (SSOW) and Quest Events (Women in Procurement) for having me involved as a speaker and facilitator.
Iconic and leading brands gathered to share their knowledge at both these conferences. My eyes and ears were drawn to anything BPO and captive (which there was a mix of), so this is a round up from mining, education, telecommunications and five leading banking and financial institutions.
Their reasons for taking their back office work and contact centres offshore were cost, access to resources, efficiency, reduced operational risks and innovation.
The latter were two interesting reasons that 10-15 years ago, you would not have seen, given the glare of the COST rationale. The market has matured and these players reflected their maturity with their partnerships ranging from 3 to 10 years.
Popular destinations are still India and Manila with India highlighted by a bank economist as a destination with renewed confidence. This economist shared that India's drop in inflation, increased inward FDI and stability with PM Modi positions it well. Biggest deciders on location mentioned in polls and panels are still cost, infrastructure, access to talent and language. However, the distance between cost being the biggest driver, and access to talent was quite marked.
This distance would be suitable in a 'cost per transaction' type offshoring scenario where the focus is on efficiently executing items, e.g. claims processed. However if the work to be done was heavily reliant on behavioural skills, using judgement and providing customer experiences then the recommendation would be to have 'cost' and 'access to talent' as equally high priorities.
Not referring to vendors or outsourced operations but Partners and making this stick with all team members.
Scheduling regular timeslots where partners could 'drop in' virtually on a call to ask a question or share an insight or idea.
To create value one bank encouraged all teams to reach for a goal: for every dollar of spend, there needed to be suggestions for $X of innovation.
There was also a focus on "Metrics that Matter" across leader's accounts, to be fair in the partnership. An HR leader from a leading bank summed it up well with "Watermelon metrics" which is a refreshing way of describing how we sometimes measure the wrong items, which show green on the dashboards, but contextually we know that things are red on the inside – the dashboard does not reflect this. We are measuring the wrong things and potentially setting up the operations to fail.
Cross cultural awareness and training was mentioned as a key ingredient, however there were various differences in how this was executed with one leading bank cautioning that cultural differences can't be used as a reason for poor performance. This is absolutely correct if the right effort has been applied in recruiting the right talent, knowledge transferring with diligence and coaching performance, in the way that Asian partners respond best.
Here are some observations of gaps. I tested these gaps by attending every session on offshoring and meeting with over 20 leaders operational in offshoring – asking the same questions. What kind of cross-cultural training do you do and when do you do this? Do you apply any of this knowledge to your people processes when selecting staff offshore, training and coaching them?
Overall, cross-cultural training was at the front end of an offshoring engagement for both partners and clients, each delivering their own knowledge on each other's culture. Mainly it was generic do's and don'ts of each culture.
Cross-cultural knowledge had grown organically through the relationship over 6-12 months between the parties. A very hit and miss strategy, so it was enlightening to hear how a mining giant mentioned from their hindsight experience, that cultural awareness was a key to stabilising onshore and offshore quicker.
There also was no deliberate overlay of this cross-cultural knowledge into people processes of recruitment and selection, knowledge transfer and coaching (performance or leadership). There were some small inferences of using cultural knowledge – A bank using captive centres in Manila and India, strategically used Filipino staff to do more customer facing work and Indian staff to do more back office work. Playing cross culturally to strengths.
Why isn't cross-cultural training done at least throughout the integration during that stabilisation phase? Why not reduce the miscommunications on emails, meeting times that yield little movement forward or battle to traverse the varying levels of hierarchy?
Networks at both conferences openly shared not scoping this type of niche training or not having thought about it across the transition. They admitted learning about Asian cultures through making mistakes that sometimes cost them impacts to deadlines and customers.
The lean into Asia will continue for shared services with a pull of cost and value levers. Underpinning this partnership is a gap and area of opportunity to build cross-cultural competence early on in the onshore/offshore stabilisation. In the spirit of partnership it is incumbent on both foreign cultures to learn and apply cultural knowledge relevant to their business dealings. The do's and don'ts of older cultural training courses that referenced the Commonwealth, Cricket, Curry, Kangaroos and Karaoke need a refresher.

The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC), the Association of in-house competition lawyers (ICLA) and the United States Council for International Business (USCIB) has welcome the announced approval of the International Competition Network (ICN) Framework for Competition Agency Procedures (CAP), as an encouraging step towards a more sound and fair competition enforcement across the globe.
The CAP highlights and reinforces important due process principles in competition law investigations such as transparency and predictability, confidentiality, conflict of interest, representation by counsel, appropriate notice, privilege, independent review and reasonable time period for investigations. Competition agencies, businesses and consumers around the globe, all stand to gain from reinforcement of these core principles.
The CAP's endorsement of non-discrimination in antitrust enforcement is key in today's global marketplace and addresses a pertinent issue at the interface of competition law and trade law.
Our members hope that most, if not all, competition agencies opt into the CAP in the near future. We believe implementation of the CAP principles is key in any sound competition enforcement regime.

Which Super Smash Bros game do you think is the best?
Out of all three of the current SSB games, which do you think is best? Please explain why.
2 is the best. Best game engine, best balance, good range of characters. Good music, single player mode is more random when selecting opponents as well.(This is quite important as it makes it less tedious playing the single player game earning the characters.) The extra game modes are better as well. The story mode in brawl sucked.
I personally agree sulla, but I want to see what everyone else thinks.
n64 version got a vote!
n64 version was very good for it's time. It is just the gamecube version is such a massive improvement over it.

Hey, Salad Lovers: It's OK To Eat Romaine Lettuce Again
By Allison Aubrey • May 22, 2018
If you've avoided romaine lettuce because of the E. coli outbreak, you can start buying it again.
After weeks of warnings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to toss out romaine grown in the Yuma, Ariz., region, the CDC says there are no longer any greens coming from this region.
The romaine that's for sale now in restaurants and supermarkets nationwide is coming from California's Salinas Valley.
Frozen Food Fan? As Sales Rise, Studies Show Frozen Produce Is As Healthy As Fresh
Americans are rediscovering the coldest aisle in the supermarket.
According to a new report, sales of frozen foods, including vegetables and prepared foods, are now on the rise following a multi-year slump.
The uptick is new — and modest. But growth "is accelerating as consumers begin to see freezing as a way to preserve food with fewer negatives," concludes a report from RBC Capital Markets.
Now That Calorie Labels Are Federal Law, Will We Eat Less?
By Allison Aubrey • May 7, 2018
Well, it's official. Beginning today, all restaurant chains in the U.S. with 20 or more locations must post calories on menus or menu boards.
When Congress passed the Affordable Care Act, back in 2010, the federal calorie posting mandate was born.
Many chains, including McDonald's, Panera and Starbucks, began posting calories several years back. But the proposed regulations hit several snags as industry groups lobbied for changes. Now, there's no escaping them.
Lyme Disease Is On The Rise Again. Here's How To Prevent It
Lyme disease was once unheard of in western Pennsylvania, where Barbara Thorne, now an entomologist at the University of Maryland, spent time as a kid.
Thorne knew that if black-legged ticks are infected with bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi, they can transmit Lyme to people and, that if untreated, symptoms can range from fever, fatigue and a rash, to serious damage to the joints, heart and nervous system.
Probiotics For Babies And Kids? New Research Explores Good Bacteria
By Allison Aubrey • Apr 30, 2018
When Melisa Martinez's son, Juelz, was born very prematurely at 25 weeks back in January, doctors at University of California, Davis Children's Hospital gave him probiotics. "They told me the probiotics may help reduce the risk of infection," Martinez says. Now, Juelz is home and doing well.
Anxiety Relief Without The High? New Studies On CBD, A Cannabis Extract
As more states legalize marijuana, there's growing interest in a cannabis extract — cannabidiol, also known as CBD.
It's marketed as a compound that can help relieve anxiety — and, perhaps, help ease aches and pains, too.
Part of the appeal, at least for people who don't want to get high, is that CBD doesn't have the same mind-altering effects as marijuana, since it does not contain THC, the psychoactive component of the plant.
To Prevent Falls In Older Age, Try Regular Exercise
Falls are a leading cause of injury and death among older adults. In 2014, about 1 in 3 adults aged 65 and older reported falling, and falls were linked to 33,000 deaths.
If you want to reduce the risk of falling, regular exercise may be your best bet, according to the latest recommendations from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
Philadelphians Drink Less Sugary Soda, More Water, After Tax
Will people drink less sugary soda if the price goes up? A new study suggests the answer is ... yes.
Researchers at Drexel University surveyed residents of Philadelphia both before and after a 1.5-cent-per-ounce tax on sweetened drinks took effect. They also surveyed people in three other cities that don't have a beverage tax. The researchers found Philadelphians were about 40 percent less likely to drink sweetened beverages daily after the tax went into effect, compared with people in the other cities.
This Chef Lost 50 Pounds And Reversed Prediabetes With A Digital Program
By Allison Aubrey • Mar 5, 2018
People who are diagnosed with prediabetes can delay or prevent the disease if they change their lifestyle and lose a significant amount of weight. But here's the challenge: How can people be motivated to eat healthier and move more? Increasingly, the answer might include digital medicine.
"Just telling people to do things doesn't work," says Sean Duffy, CEO of Omada Health. If it were easy, there wouldn't be more than 80 million adults in the U.S. with prediabetes.
Pediatricians Call For Universal Depression Screening For Teens
This Vaccine Can Prevent Cancer, But Many Teenagers Still Don't Get It
Each year, about 31,000 men and women in the U.S. are diagnosed with a cancer caused by an infection from the human papillomavirus, or HPV. It's the most common sexually transmitted virus and infection in the U.S.
In women, HPV infection can lead to cervical cancer, which leads to about 4,000 deaths per year. In men, it can cause penile cancer. HPV also causes some cases of oral cancer, cancer of the anus and genital warts.
McDonald's Commits To More Balanced Happy Meals By 2022
Burgers and chicken nuggets are still the mainstay of the Happy Meal. But on Thursday McDonald's announced its goal to market more balanced kids meals around the globe.
The company says by the end of 2022, at least 50 percent or more of the kids meal options listed on menus will meet new global Happy Meal nutrition criteria: Meals will have 600 calories or less; no more than 10 percent of calories from saturated fat; no more than 650 mg sodium; and no more than 10 percent of calories from added sugar.
Eating Leafy Greens Each Day Tied to Sharper Memory, Slower Decline
By Allison Aubrey • Feb 5, 2018
To age well, we must eat well. There has been a lot of evidence that heart-healthy diets help protect the brain.
The latest good news: A study recently published in Neurology finds that healthy seniors who had daily helpings of leafy green vegetables — such as spinach, kale and collard greens — had a slower rate of cognitive decline, compared to those who tended to eat little or no greens.
Flu Virus Can Trigger A Heart Attack
The flu doesn't just make you feel lousy. A study published Wednesday finds it can increase your risk of having a heart attack, too.
"We found that you're six times more likely to have a heart attack during the week after being diagnosed with influenza, compared to the year before or after the infection," says study author Dr. Jeff Kwong, an epidemiologist and family physician with the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences and Public Health Ontario in Canada.
Personalized Diets: Can Your Genes Really Tell You What To Eat?
The idea that each of us has a unique nutrition blueprint within our genes is a delicious concept.
Perhaps, this helps explain the growth in personalized nutrition testing and services such as Habit, Profile Precise and Nutrigenomix.
So, what exactly can these tests tell you?

Master of Moulins
The Nativity of Cardinal Jean Rolin (mk08)
Master of Moulins:
French 1480-1500 Master of Moulins Gallery Until the late 20th century, the name of the painter of the Moulins Triptych was unknown, although art historians identified a number of other works that were evidently by the same hand. The first monograph on the Master of Moulins, written in 1961 by Madeleine Huillet d'Istria, argued that this artist did not actually exist, and that more than 12 different artists were responsible for the corpus of works traditionally ascribed to him. The Master's identity was established after an inscription was found on the reverse of a damaged painting, Christ with Crown of Thorns (1494) in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Brussels, identifying the artist as Jean Hey, teutonicus and pictor egregius ("the famous painter"), and identifying the patron as Jean Cueillette, who was secretary to the King and an associate of the Bourbon family. Stylistic similarities link this painting to the works attributed to the Master of Moulins. The Master of Moulins appears to have been the court painter for the Bourbons, and from a surviving account for 1502-03, it is clear that the court painter's name was Jean; other candidates once considered plausible, such as Jean Perr??al and Jean Prevost, have proven untenable in the light of subsequent research. The term "Teutonicus", or "German" included Flemings at this date.

Can I Wallmount my Beocenter 9000/9500/9300?
If you mean vertically, the answer is definitey no.
The CD player is not designed for this. There was however a bespoke wall mount which allowed the Beocenter to be fixed at a 45 degree angle though this is no longer available. Mounting it horizontally on a shelf is obviously the only remaining option if you require it to be mounted higher than floor or table level.


Router Keygen is probably among the most popular applications of Android, which is virtually compulsory for any customer of this mobile operating system, even recognizing that it is not officially discovered in the Play Store, however the job is still alive authorities and the programmer group is regularly developing new variations.
Currently the developer team has actually released version 1.0 of Router Keygen for Windows, which is a port of the variation for Android, this version of Router Keygen for PC is just as straightforward to make use of as its mobile version, simply as soon as installed the application starts to check nearby cordless networks to inform us if they are sustained, possibly not sustained and not supported, to make sure that as soon as we click any type of network identified within the first two classifications, it does not offer the feasible password of stated network.
The application is cost-free, free of viruses and evaluates just under 11 MEGABYTES's. You could download and install the application on the task web site by clicking the link at the end of this post. Presently it is just available for Windows but on the task site it has actually currently been said that it is dealing with a version for Linux as well as one more for Mac.
For those who do unknown Router keygen in general, it is an application that enables us to examine, that is, to get the passwords of the cordless modems that are near our tool, to attach later on. This application does not hack cordless networks, otherwise it utilizes the default or manufacturing facility password of the modem to try to connect us, so its usage is totally lawful.


What is remote monitored CCTV?
The CCTV system is linked to the an associate NSI Gold Remote Video Monitoring Centre by standard / PSTN / IP / ADSL telephone lines. Irrespective of the distance involved the monitoring centre can watch over the remote site at a fraction of the cost of traditional security measures such as manned guards.
Experienced operators trained to the highest standards use the latest monitoring technology to assess images and incident information to determine the course of action to be taken. Where necessary the emergency services would be notified of any intrusions.
why have your CCTV REMOTELY MONITORED BY A VIDEO MONITORING CENTRE?
We are able to achieve national coverage with police response when appropriate. CCTV on its own can be a useful deterrent to crime. CCTV combined with a professionally delivered NSI Gold remote monitoring service, however, takes the effectiveness of CCTV to a new level as well as reducing costs.
When a detection device is linked to the CCTV system a reactive automatic call is triggered (by any number of detection devices), pictures are automatically transmitted using a telephone line and received at the monitoring station. At this point an operator reviews the images, assesses what is happening and determines what action to take. This may involve alerting a nearby mobile patrol or the police or simply warning off the intruders by an audio real-time warning. The result – the intruders leave or are caught on the site.
Reactive real time video images available to the monitoring center following detection of any movement from site.
Access to the video images is available via any Broadband ADSL facility which has a static IP Address.
Real time audio communication & broadcast real time audio messages to the protected site.
Pre & post activation analysis of video images & archived images from the onsite DVR / Hard Drive.
Where CCTV is required to be remotely monitored to protect assets we normally suggest that the all site protection systems including Intruder Alarms, Fire Detection Alarm Systems & Access Control should be monitored by the same professional NSI Gold Approved monitoring centre.
This is to ensure comprehensive live information is available to the operators monitoring the premises, to enable exacting procedures to be carried out in the event of incidents at the protected premises.

Hyundai's next electric car, the 2022 Ioniq 5, is like the 1980s on wheels
It was previewed by 2019's 45 concept
Ronan Glon
Jan 13th 2021 at 8:11AM
2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 preview image
Unveiled at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show, back when there was a Frankfurt show to introduce cars at, the retro-inspired Hyundai 45 concept is well on its way to becoming a production model. It will wear the Ioniq 5 nameplate when it lands in showrooms, and preview images confirm its overall design won't stray far from the concept's.
Hyundai explained that the 45 concept was loosely inspired by the Giorgetto Giugiaro-designed 1974 Pony, the first car it developed in-house, but the pixel-shaped lights on both ends and the flat, straight surfaces send us straight back to the 1980s. It's a look you'll either love or hate, and one that breaks all ties with current members of the Hyundai range. Designers pointed out that the clamshell hood minimizes panel gaps, and that the 20-inch wheels are the largest they have ever put on one of the South Korean company's electric cars.
Although the preview images keep the 5's overall proportions hidden, earlier spy shots taken in Germany confirm that the model will arrive as a compact hatchback with an unusually long wheelbase and correspondingly short overhangs on both ends. It's also a little bit taller than, say, the Elantra GT, which likely reflects an attempt to inject some crossover DNA into the overall design while masking the bulky battery stuffed under the cabin.
Hyundai did not release full technical specifications, but it confirmed the Ioniq 5 will inaugurate the Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) developed solely to underpin battery-powered cars. That means enthusiasts hoping to see a high-octane evolution of the 5 with the Kona N's turbocharged four-cylinder engine will be disappointed. It will be all-electric, all the time, though whether it will offer one, two, or more electric motors remains up in the air.
Quick-charging technology will zap the battery with about 60 miles of range in five minutes, according to the firm. Users who don't need the pack's full capacity will be able to use it to power electric devices via a plug outlet located beneath the rear bench. Hyundai amusingly demonstrated this capability by publishing a video that shows a man roasting a turkey in an electric oven on a campsite seemingly located miles away from the power grid.
Additional details about the Hyundai Ioniq 5 will emerge in the coming weeks, and the model is scheduled to make its official debut online in February 2021. What remains to be seen is whether it will be sold here. Honda and Volkswagen chose to keep their battery-powered hatchbacks on the other side of the pond, and both are planning to ramp up their electric car offensive in the United States with a crossover. However, it's reasonable to think that the Ioniq range may gain a higher, bigger model that will be developed with our market in mind.

A heart attack happens when the supply of blood to the heart is suddenly blocked, usually by a blood clot.
Lots of people make a full recovery from a heart attack, but there's a serious risk that the heart might stop beating – called a cardiac arrest.
It's vital that you treat someone having a heart attack straight away, otherwise they could die.
People who have angina are more likely to have a heart attack. Angina happens when the arteries to the heart become narrow and the heart muscle can't get enough blood. This can happen when someone's doing a physical activity but is even more of a concern if it happens at rest.
Angina pain is usually a tight chest pain, which may ease if they rest straight away and take angina medication, and may only last a few minutes. If the pain lasts longer, presume it's a heart attack.
Call 999 or 112 for medical help and say you think someone is having a heart attack.
Then, help move them into the most comfortable position. The best position is on the floor leaning against a wall with knees bent and head and shoulders supported. This should ease the pressure on their heart and stop them hurting themselves if they collapse.
Give them a 300mg aspirin, if available and they're not allergic, and tell them to chew it slowly.
Be aware that they may develop shock. Shock does not mean emotional shock, but is a life-threatening condition, which can be brought on by a heart attack.
Keep checking their breathing, pulse and level of response.
If they lose responsiveness at any point, open their airway, check their breathing, and prepare to treat someone who has become unresponsive. You may need to do CPR.


Bohemia (Germ. Böhmen, or formerly Böheim; Lat. Bohemia or Bojohemum), a cisleithan (i.e. west of the River Leitha) crown province of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, which until 1526 was an independent kingdom.
Since the last years of the reign of Maria Theresa, and especially since the time of Joseph II, the Catholic Church in Austria has suffered from state interference. According to existing laws, the State at present guarantees to the recognized denominations freedom from molestation in the management of their internal affairs. The State avoids every interference in matters of faith, of ritual, and of ecclesiastical discipline, but it also claims that the religious associations, like all other associations, are subject to the general state laws in their "outward legal relations." The sore point in this condition of affairs is this: that the State assumes for itself the right to define the boundary between internal and external legal relations. At present state control shows itself in the appointment of ecclesiastical officials, in the cooperation of the State in determining and collecting church dues and taxes, in measures for the protection of the property of the Church, and in a certain supervision of the church press, which is hardly perceptible. The legal position of the Catholic Church in Austria rests on the Imperial Patent of 8 April, 1861, and the Law of 7 May, 1874.
Marriage, for Catholics, rests on the Law of 25 May, 1868, with which the second main section of the civil code, treating of the law of marriage, came again into force. According to this anyone can enter into a marriage contract when there is no legal impediment. Apart from the impediments arising from the duties of certain positions and those due to the army laws, these impediments rest on: (1) lack of consent; (2) lack of ability for the married state, and (3) lack of the necessary formalities.
