Discover the thriving world of contemporary art in Malta
From the devout Mannerist and Baroque painters who flourished under the rule of the Knights of St John, to the acclaimed sculptor Antonio Sciortino, there's a long history of art in Malta. However, a new generation of contemporary Maltese artists and gallerists has come to prominence in recent years, dragging art in Malta out of the museum and into the white cube, workshop and pop up space. Contained within a staunchly global outlook and boundary-pushing approach, is the belief that Malta is capable of producing work that can compete on the international stage. From galleries like the Tempra Museum with its international art historical purview, and the influential Spazju Kreattiv at St James Cavalier, to smaller spaces like Studio 104 and Christine X, who are working hard to nourish new artists, we select the best places to see contemporary art in Malta.
Tempra Museum For Contemporary Art
With four floors containing work by over 250 artists spanning the gamut of 20th and 21st-century movements, the Tempra Museum in Mgarr is arguably the home of contemporary art in Malta. The Tempra Academy, which actually had its first edition in London back in 1975, also stages many cultural events during the year, ensuring that their remit goes beyond cataloguing historical movements to stimulating the ideas to power new ones.
Lily Agius Gallery
Gallerist Lily Agius was born and raised in London, but moved to Malta in 2001. Her broad international perspective has seen her gallery become a crucial node in the Maltese – international art dialogue. While the gallery is committed to raising the profile of Maltese-born artists – something clearly evident in its roll call of homegrown talent – their work sits amidst work from rising international artists, ensuring the conversation flows both ways.
If you want to purchase a piece of contemporary Maltese art, the Christine X gallery in Sliema is a good starting point. This small commercial gallery was established in 2004 and shows work by both local and international artists. While the style of the artworks varies, colour and expressionism are the dominant trends.

This innovative space in Malta's capital runs educational workshops as well as cutting edge exhibitions that feature audiovisual and installation work alongside wall-mounted pieces. The gallery champions local talent and has an engaging rotation of shows that hold their own among Malta's leading galleries.
Spazju Kreattiv At St James Cavalier
This historical building in Valletta has been home to the Spazju Kreattiv since 2000. This cultural hub, run by the Fondazzjoni Kreattività strives to stimulate the exchange of ideas, build cultural identity and – crucially – reach out to the community with a boundary-testing programme of exhibitions and projects. They also hold workshops, organize events such as the Valletta International Arts Festival and display a keen grasp of the cutting edge through their discussions at the intersection of art, film, technology and beyond.
Valletta Contemporary
Fairly new to the art scene in Malta, Valletta Contemporary commandeered a four-century-old warehouse to open its cutting-edge gallery in 2018. Drawing talent from across Malta and beyond, the project is helmed by established local artist Norbert Francis Attard. It has community at its heart, making for an engaging programme of local exhibitions and workshops.
Representing all that's exciting about Malta's contemporary art landscape, Blitz in Valletta hosts multimedia exhibitions by contemporary artists in provocative, engaging shows. From film to photography and sculpture, there's always something inspiring to see. The unassuming gallery, tucked away in a townhouse, counts Royal College of Arts and Central Saint Martins in London among its partners.

Fast performance with a 7nm A12 Bionic chip.
Apple did not do a great job with iphones this time although the XS has an OLED display and a processor which can beat the performance of a laptop it isn't that great. The price being almost a lakh it does not support fast charging, the battery life is not that great too and still no external storage.
The latest smartphone which was launched recently. It looks amazing in those different color options. It has an Apple brand tag so you can flaunt it. The design is attractive. It is slim and lightweight. Coming to cameras, the device clicks amazing shots just like a DSLR. the battery life is very poor though.
Apple iPhone XS looks very beautiful due to the various color options. It has a wireless charging support which is great. The display on the front is very bright and vivid with the immense viewing experience. Overall a great device but poor battery backup though. It is also overpriced.
The iPhone XS is a recently launched flagship smartphone which looks very attractive due to lots of color options. It has a powerful processor that can handle any task thrown at it. The device has literally one of the best cameras. You can click some of the amazing shots with a single tap. That's pretty impressive.
It has an Apple brand so it is enough reason for getting it plus a dual sim now. The best camera, best performance, best battery and best software. It is expensive but worth every single rupee spend on it. I like iOS very much - It is clean and light. iPhone XS is very lightweight and slim smartphone just the way I like it.
I used this device for around 7 days. I got it as a gift from my brother. The smartphone, even though feels premium, was not what I was looking for. I was looking for a device which is customizable and iOS is not great for that. Also, I don't like the camera that much. The detailing in the pro mode was not that great.

Singer Louise Setara wowed the judges on X Factor and she is off to Nashville, Tennessee, to record in July but in between she is going to be performing at a charity concert in Campbeltown.
The event, which will feature Campbeltown guitarist Sam Hales and local bands Western Sound and The Endorphins, is to raise funds for extra curricular activities at Campbeltown Grammar School.
'I have visited Glasgow and Edinburgh with shows in the past but never had the chance to explore Scotland,' said Louise, 'I am so looking forward to it.'
She added: 'I was really excited when Trish [Collins] called me asking me to take part; fundraising events like this are important.'
Louise Setara is a singer-songwriter and her blend of gospel, soul and country has a very personal approach.
'I am a storyteller; each song tells a story about something in my life,' she said.
And she added how much she was looking forward to the event: 'I have heard that everyone in the town is supporting the event to raise money for the school. I can't wait.'

Do Grignard reagents react with amides?
Clearly the amide will be unreactive given the poor quality of the leaving group and poor electrophilcity due to delocalization. However, does it react with organolithiums for example?
organic-chemistry reactivity
RobChemRobChem
Amides will react with three equivalents n-butyllithium to give nitriles via geminal lithium oxyimide intermediates (J. Org. Chem., 1967, 32 (11)). n-butyllithium is a strong enough base to deprotonate the molecule twice at nitrogen and once alpha to the carbonyl group. Grignard reagents may well behave similarly.
I do not think this is a particularly useful transformation though because n-butyllithium is a rather indiscriminate reagent. There are a wide range of other methods available - see this paper if you're interested.
In the special case of a N,O-dimethylhydroxyamide, you can make ketones using either.
J. LSJ. LS
For a N,N-alkyl, a N,N-diaryl or a N-alkyl-N-aryl amide that what will happen is that the grignard will react attacking the carbonyl carbon. This will form R''C(NR2)(R')-OMgX from RMgX and R''-CONR2.
What we normally do is to treat the product with dilute acid, this will then convert the initial additon product into either a ketone or an aldehyde.
One common method of making aldehydes is to react Grignards and other similar reagents with DMF, then treating the intial product with aqueous acid.

Oak HC/FT lead Series B funding for informatics company.
Hot on the heels of being nominated as a "Cool Vendor" by Gartner (a technology research and advisory firm), and winning Best of Show at BioIT Word in April, Core Informatics have come out as winners once again. The data management software company closed a $17.5 million Series B funding led by Oak HC/FT.
Core Informatics has seen a remarkable growth in personnel over the past year. These new funds will allow them to keep expanding their cloud-based product development team, and their Platform for Science Marketplace.
Everyday, we get told that healthcare is becoming increasingly data-centric. The growth in sequencing data is well documented, but what gets a little less attention is the way that the R&D environment is changing and the IT infrastructure required to enable innovations.

Alibaba plans 'staggering number' of live seafood-fronted Hema stores
By Neil Ramsden Undercurrent News
Sep. 19, 2017 08:44 BST
REYKJAVIK, Iceland — Chinese retail giant Alibaba Group is planning to open far more of its "new retail" concept supermarkets, which blend the online and offline spheres and feature live seafood.
This was according to Gfresh vice president Anthony Wan, who is privy to Alibaba's plans as his firm has taken investment from it, he said.
While he would not put a figure on these plans, he described it as a "staggering" amount of stores in the pipeline.
Currently there are 13 stores in Shanghai, Beijing and Ningbo, and they serve customers located within a 3 kilometer radius to ensure shorter delivery times, according to Alibaba.
"We believe the future of 'new retail' will be a harmonious integration of online and offline, and Hema is a prime example of this evolution that's taking place," said Daniel Zhang, CEO of Alibaba, when it launched three new stores in July 2017.
Wan noted live seafood was a key feature of these stores, where customers can scan barcodes to find out all the information on products, and buy them.
"A good number of people only go into the store once — when they want to buy again they just do it online," he observed. With curious customers, producers are able to buy a few precious minutes in which to put across the much-feted "story" of where the seafood has come from, and in doing so go a long way towards brand-building.
Elsewhere in "new retail", Wan noted China has old-fashioned convenience stores practically on every street corner, which are being given facelifts — and new, online payment systems — thanks to the country's growing e-commerce firms.
According to China Daily, Alibaba plans to encourage merchants to link into its "LST app" and thereby "unlock the consumption potential of shoppers from second-tier cities to even lower-tier townships and villages, by enhancing the merchants' capabilities in marketing, delivery and inventory management".
"[Alibaba-owned] Tmall has begun the process, and is planning to launch some 1,000 of these stores in 2017," said Wan. "Not to be outdone, JD [.com] is planning one million," he added.
Bricks and mortar meets e-commerce
Alibaba's leadership recently told Yahoo Finance that building out infrastructure is central to its future plans, "which appear to focus on the spread and development of physical assets as well as its e-commerce infrastructure, including its marketplaces, logistics, and payments system".
Alibaba is looking to bring the technology and utility of its Hema stores to shopping malls; these stores use machine learning to customize fresh food offerings in each location, making each store unique and tailored to consumer preferences, the news site wrote.
"Bringing this technology to malls could boost brick-and-mortar retail sales, as the improvements to the shopping experience and product offerings would likely entice customers."
Alibaba can integrate this technology into malls either by building and acquiring stores and malls — which it has already embarked upon — or it could look to partner up.
"[vice chairman, Joseph] Tsai suggested that acquiring many real estate assets is a bad use of capital, and working with third-party stores might be a better way to go. That could hasten the spread of Alibaba's innovations, and provide it with a new revenue stream as a retail technology provider. However, it might find difficulty getting stores to take full advantage of its tech."

All eyes will be on Riyad Mahrez, Manchester City's record signing and the most expensive African ever as Manchester city play their pre-season friendlies. The biggest question in the minds of fans after he was signed by Pep was that who he is going to replace in the title-winning Manchester City team, and his performance in the pre-season friendlies are the only way to get a clue how that is going to turnout.
Against Liverpool yesterday, Mahrez started on the right of a three man attacking line but behind centre forward Lucas Nmecha but he seemed to have slightly tucked in behind him. On a pitch that was difficult, Mahrez's first touch and ball control was excellent. He pulled the strings extremely well in the first half. We know he has the ability to use both his feet well and we saw that as he controlled the ball with his left and fired in crosses with his right. People thought that he would be a threat to the places of Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling but yesterday he played a role more like a Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva. He had a pretty decent game yesterday against Liverpool, where the former Leicester man played some brilliant through balls and also had a curling free kick saved by Karius.
Pep sees Mahrez as a player who can play across a front three and the lies of Sterling and Bernardo Silva will have to stay on their toes and continue to perform at the highest level to keep their place in the team. Mahrez looks to be extremely confident and rearing to go to win Pep's trust and secure his place in the starting eleven. "I am confident I can help the team win trophies. I have shown in the last three years in the Premier League that I deserve to play at the highest level." says Mahrez.

Rossin was founded in 1974 by Marco Rossin. He was the head frame builder at Colnago until 1974 when he established his own brand. Rossin was one of the best brands you could buy in the 80 and the beginning of the 90's. In 1992 the brand was sold to a company called Finross.
Like all vintage bikes, dating this particular Rossin is pretty hard. It has under the bottom bracket cable guide's and a braze on derailleur hanger so I estimated it as a Rossin from begin to mid 80's.
This Rossin bike is in a good, used condition. It has some patina here and there, but nothing really disturbing. The chrome is still in a good condition. Chrome of fork is a little dull, but it's original and that is the most important to me. The frame itself is made out of stiff and reliable Columbus SL tubes, and has a lot of pantographes. The bike is furthermore equipped with the best Campagnolo had to offer back in those days. A complete Campagnolo Record group.

Q: How to list only the dot files and dot folder names (without the content in them) I want to list only the files and folders that are hidden (starting with dot). When I use the command
ls .??*

I get the output
.gitignore

.git:
COMMIT_EDITMSG FETCH_HEAD     HEAD           ORIG_HEAD      branches       config         description    hooks          index          info           logs           objects        packed-refs    refs

I don't want the content in the folder. Instead I'm looking for the output which only lists the folders
.gitignore
.git [different color for the folders, like the normal ls]

A: ls -d .??*

The -d switch makes ls treat directory arguments just like file arguments, and won't list its contents, but instead show the usual output (manpage excerpt follows, thanks @fedorqui):

list directory entries instead of contents, and do not dereference symbolic links

It combines well with -l and others, and will, without any further switches, default to the usual multi-column view of ls.

A: try:
ls -d .*

fyi
   -d, --directory
          list directories themselves, not their contents

if your ls is not alias of other command, the output of above ls -d .* will output files/dirs in same line. If you want to have them each in its own line:
ls -d1 .*

if you want colored output:
ls -d1 --color=auto .*

Pokhara ideal venue for cricket
Ajit Baral | November 13, 2018 9:00 am
Talks for the construction of a cricket stadium in Pokhara have been going on since the late 1990s. Sadly these talks have mostly gone unheard by the government and the Cricket Association of Nepal for a long time. But now the time seems ripe to amplify that voice.
Ever since the unfenced ground by the Gandaki River gorge was prepared for the ongoing Pokhara Premier League, people have been posting, on social media, photos of cricketers practising or playing with the whole shebang of snow-draped mountains providing a stunning background, all images suggesting that the area should be turned into an international-class cricket stadium.
But why should there be a cricket stadium in Pokhara? Granted an international- class stadium is being built in Mulpani, Kathmandu, and it will come into operation sooner or later. But this lone facility won't be enough to fulfill the needs of the thousands of aspiring cricketers of this cricket-mad country, where cricket is slowly surging ahead of football as the most popular sport.
The recent successes of Nepal in different formats of the game internationally, including the gaining of the One Day Cricket status and the rise-to-fame of cricketers like Sandeep Lamichhane, would have motivated young Nepali kids to pursue cricket, creating the need for more cricketing infrastructure. It is high time we had more cricket infrastructure to enable these aspiring cricketers to hone their skills to reach the highest level of the game.
What little success Nepal's cricketers have had in the international arena is despite the government's support. A little help with the development of cricket infrastructure in the country will go a long away in putting Nepal at par with newer entrants to test- and one day cricket like Bangladesh. But it is not enough to have the infrastructures in Kathmandu alone. We need to have them outside the valley too to spread the growth of the sport evenly throughout the country. Even the country's federal structure mandates that there be devolution of resources, including sporting facilities. And what better place than Pokhara to start devolving cricket facilities?
Blessed with so many natural wonders, Pokhara makes for an attractive stadium and can rival the best cricket grounds in the world. It can also aspire to be what Sharjah was in the 80s and the 90s, a neutral venue for international cricket matches, including the matches between India and Pakistan, two powerful cricketing nations of the subcontinent whose deep-rooted enmity has prevented them from playing against each other on their home turfs for some years now. Of course, the Mulpani Cricket ground is being built with an eye to developing it into just that, but Pokhara is propositioned to be a better neutral venue than Kathmandu.
As the country's most popular tourist destination, Pokhara already has the infrastructure to accommodate and provide hospitality to hundreds and thousands of visitors that the game will bring in. Pokhara is not plagued with pollution as Kathmandu is. Its traffic problem is not as acute as Kathmandu's. And there is not much to choose between the two cities weather-wise. True, it rains frequently in Pokhara, but the water drains out as quickly.
The only disadvantage as far as I can see—and that too as of now—against Pokhara's claim for being a neutral venue is air connection, as players, match officials, media persons and international audience cannot fly into Pokhara directly. But this won't handicap Pokhara's claim for long. The work on the international- class regional airport in Pokhara is going on in a feverish pace and it is expected to be completed by 2021.
The Pokhara stadium needs an international-class airport if it hopes to develop into a neutral cricketing venue as much as the Pokhara airport needs an international-level stadium, if it hopes to run profitably. To be built with an investment of $305 million, the airport needs hundreds and thousands of passengers flying in and out of the city for it to remain afloat, and part of that need would be met by cricket fanatics from the South Asian region and beyond. That Pokhara is already known as the gateway to many famous trekking destinations means that cricket buffs from around the world would have an additional incentive to travel to Pokhara.
Imagine how much these sports tourists will contribute to the tourism of Nepal. And imagine the kind of impression a live telecast of a cricket match between, let us say, India and Pakistan leave behind on the millions of viewers around the world, when, in between breaks, the camera zooms in on the breathtaking Annapurna range, and the drone captures, the footage of the Shanti Stupa, the many lakes that dot it and the green hills rimming the city. That would create a windfall for Nepali tourism and do to Nepali tourism what no number of paid advertisements can do.
Cricket and tourism should be tied together by building a cricket stadium in Pokhara to promote international championships and attract sports fans. To expect the government, which has always been apathetic to sports, to take an initiative on this on its own is too much. Nor can we expect the Cricket Association of Nepal, the governing body for cricket, which remains suspended because of politics, to take the lead.
So the onus is thus on tourism entrepreneurs and cricket aficionados of Pokhara, the Chief Minister of Gandaki Province, Prithvi Subba Gurung, who has been making all the right noises about the autonomy of provincial governments, and Rabindra Adhikari, who is the minister for tourism and someone who was at the forefront of lobbying for the construction of the airport in Pokhara.

GO Board Watch: May 24, 2017
Ryan Beck Turner | May 24, 2017
This week's Board meeting, and future meetings, will be held at La Escuelita – 1050 2nd Ave, Oakland, CA 94606.
This week's agenda includes:
Tributes and Recognitions
Linked Learning Pathways
COVA Charter Renewal Denial
Update on Enrollment
Sexual Harassment policy update
Pregnant/Married/Parenting Students policy update
Measure G1 funds allocation
Governor's budget May revision
Third Interim Financial Report
Budgetary Increases/Decreases/Transfers
Uniform Complaint Procedures policy update
Check out the full agenda.
1). Professional Culture
Recognition of District Golden Employee – Arvella Hayden
Congratulations to Arvella Hayden, a kindergarten teacher at Lafayette Elementary, who "has been an OUSD teacher for over fifty-two years, inspiring multiple generations of Oakland students. She is well known for her gentle and loving nature, her commitment to making learning fun for our youngest students, and her unwavering dedication to students."
2). Quality Schools Development
National Champion Urban Debate Winners – Skyline High School
Congratulations to Christine Harris and Malachi Ambrose, both seniors at Skyline High School, on winning the Urban Debate League National Championship.
Measure N – Linked Learning Pathways
The Board will hear a presentation on the Measure N funded Linked Learning Pathways. Linked Learning Pathways connect high school curricula to real world skills and careers. The goals are to reduce the drop-out rate, prepare students for work and learning opportunities, and expand support services for job training programs.
Currently, 71.4% of OUSD 10th graders are in one of OUSD's 33 Linked Learning Pathways programs. The goal is for 90% of 10th grade students to be in a pathway in the 2017-18 school year.
Conservatory of Vocal and Instrumental Arts (K-8) Charter Renewal Denial
The Board will vote on the District's recommendation to deny a charter renewal for the Conservatory of Vocal and Instrumental Arts (COVA).
In making a recommendation to deny the charter renewal, the OUSD staff documented a range of concerns stating, "The charter school has not met the standards and expectations set forth in the OUSD Charter Renewal Standards, which are based on the standards and criteria set forth in the Charter Schools Act, Education Code §47605(b)(5) including but not limited to: (1) an analysis of the extent to which the school has met its measurable pupil outcomes and an evaluation of its educational program; (2) an analysis of the effectiveness and viability of the school; (3) a review of the school's performance and operations to evaluate the extent to which the school has been faithful to the terms of its charter; and (4) an evaluation of whether the petitioners have presented a "reasonably comprehensive" description of the 15 elements related to the school's operation." Full text of the District's recommendation to deny can be found here.
For example, OUSD staff notes that from 2013-14 to 2015-16, COVA had five complaints made against it in total. In 2016-17 alone, there were 17 complaints made against COVA. Some of those complaints include: physical/verbal aggressions and traumatizing behavior towards students, parents, and staff; retaliation/intimidation of staff; and lack of satisfactory facilities and textbooks.
If the Board votes to approve the District's recommendation to deny the renewal, COVA will have the option of appealing for renewal from the Alameda County Office of Education.
Enrollment Improvements Program Year Two
The Board will hear updates on the District's efforts to stabilize and increase enrollment, as well as plans for future operational and policy improvements.
This year, the District launched Oakland School Finder, Oakland's first on-line system for enrolling students for district-run schools. Additionally, OUSD opened a second in-person enrollment center and began an enrollment access study that will be released in June, 2017.
For next year, the District plans a host of activities to continue to build out the capacity of online enrollment and to make changes to OUSD's enrollment policies. Some of these policy changes could include: prioritizing Oakland residents, prioritizing OUSD 8th graders, and/or prioritizing higher performing feeder schools for students from low performing schools.
OUSD has been working in collaboration with Alliance for Girls (AFG) to update the District's sexual harassment policy. The Board will be voting on the District's recommended policy changes. The District hopes will bring the issue to the forefront and reaffirm the District's commitment to maintaining a school environment that is safe and free from harassment and discrimination.
Some of the policy updates include a detailed and transparent outline of the investigatory process, inclusion of restorative processes in eliminating harassment and repairing harms, and creating a school site designee. The full policy proposal can be found here.
Pregnant/Married/Parenting Students Policy
In response to recent legislation AB 302 regarding lactation accommodations, OUSD will update its policy to be in compliance. The legislation requires that school districts provide access to a secure and private room (other than a bathroom) for students to express and store breast milk or nurse infants. The updated policy can be read here.
3). Budget and Fiscal Management
Measure G1 – First Year Funds – Allocation Option
In November, Oakland voters passed Measure G1 which provides funding for middle school arts and salary increases for teachers. The Board of Education will be voting on how the Measure G1 funds will be allocated. The Measure G1 oversight committee has recommended that the 50% of the funds dedicated to middle school arts be distributed in 2017-18 for middle school arts. The other half of the funding, to be used for teacher salary increases, would be distributed in 2018-19, after the tax revenue has been collected. This decision was made in the context of the funds being previously loaded into school site budgets before staff realized that the timeline for collecting taxes did not align to their distribution plans.
The Board will hear a presentation from School Services of California on the May Revise of the Governor's budget. Here are some of the key take-aways:
The Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) Gap Funding increased from $744 million in the January budget to $1.4 billion in the May revision, bringing LCFF funding to 97% of full implementation.
This will mean an additional $170 dollars per student, which would result in $6 million in one-time funds for OUSD. However, the Governor has proposed not releasing these funds until May 2019.
Meanwhile, the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) adopted an employer contribution rate of 15.53% for 2017-18, almost 2% higher than the current-year rate of 13.88%. This will result in significant increased costs for districts across the state.
The California State Teacher's Retirement System (CalSTRS) will also be increasing employer contribution rates by nearly 2%.
The Board will hear a presentation on the OUSD budget update as of April 30, 2017.
OUSD is expected to end the year with an unrestricted general fund balance of $8.4 million, which is approximately $2.8 million short of the state law required 2% reserve. The OUSD Board requires a 3% reserve – OUSD will have half that. As a result, the District will have to replenish the reserve for economic uncertainty by at least that amount.
Two programs that OUSD has been watching closely is Early Childhood Education and Special Education.
There was a $550 thousand increase in the amount of funds transferred from General Fund to Early Childhood Education (ECE).
There was a $522 thousand reduction in the amount transferred into Special Education.
Since the second interim financial report released in March, unrestricted revenues have increased by $300 thousand, while unrestricted expenses have increased by $3.1 million.
Budget Increases/Decreases/Transfers
The most significant change in the Budgetary Increases/Decreases/ and Transfers is the increase of unrestricted general fund expenditures by $3.6 million. The increased expenditures fall under "Services & Other Operating Costs."
4). Board Development and Strategy
Tribute to Darius Aikens – Student Board Member
Many who have watched the board meetings over the last two years have had the pleasure of hearing Darius Aikens' insightful comments as a student director on the OUSD Board. In addition to serving two-terms as a student director on the OUSD Board, Darius serves as the youth chapter president of the Oakland NAACP Imani Youth Council and an ambassador for Oakland Promise, all while going to school full-time and holding a part-time job. Darius will be graduating this spring and will attend UCLA in the fall.
We are so grateful for all that Darius has done for education in Oakland and look forward to watching his extraordinary leadership continue to grow and develop in the years to come.
The Board will vote on proposed amendments to the board policy on Uniform Complaint Procedures. These amendments would bring the policy into compliance with state law by allowing people to file a Uniform Complaint for an expanded set of issues.

In the decision-making process of revascularization of coronary artery stenoses by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), the presence and extent of reversible ischemia associated with such particular stenoses is of paramount importance (1–3). A stenosis associated with reversible ischemia (also called functionally significant or hemodynamically significant stenosis) causes symptoms of angina pectoris and has a negative influence on outcome (1,2). Therefore, the general feeling is that such lesions should be revascularized if technically feasible. On the contrary, functionally nonsignificant stenoses do not cause symptoms by definition and have an excellent outcome with medical therapy (3–5). Therefore, revascularization of such lesions is generally not indicated.
In the ideal case, reversible ischemia should be documented before PCI or bypass surgery in a noninvasive way. However, in most patients, such documentation is not present, insufficient, or unreliable. The most important reason for the lack of such data is that all known noninvasive tests have a limited accuracy. Especially in the presence of multivessel coronary artery disease, noninvasive tests are rarely accurate enough to assess separately the ischemic potential of an individual stenosis (6).
Fractional flow reserve (FFR), on the contrary, is a stenosis-specific measure of ischemia and is considered as the gold standard method to investigate whether any particular stenosis is responsible for inducible ischemia. FFR-guided PCI has been shown to result in favorable outcomes compared with angiography-guided PCI (3,4). Consequently, in Europe, FFR currently enjoys class IA recommendation for assessment of stable coronary stenosis ahead of revascularization when other functional information is lacking (7).
The technique of FFR measurement became available in the catheterization laboratory in the late nineties but a number of technical and practical shortcomings had to be overcome before the technique could be applied as a routine treatment in the catheterization laboratory (8–10).
Presently, the last remaining barrier of generalizing FFR as a first-line catheterization laboratory tool is the issue of achieving maximum coronary and myocardial hyperemia (11).
The principal of FFR is based upon the presence of true maximum hyperemia. That is paramount. If full maximum hyperemia is not present, FFR is overestimated and stenosis severity underestimated (8–11).
At this point, the studies by Nair et al. (12) and by De Luca et al. (13), published in this issue of JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, come into perspective.
Presently, central intravenous administration of adenosine at a rate of 140 μg/kg/min is the gold standard of maximum coronary hyperemia (11,14). Not only does this create a reproducible and maximum arteriolar vasodilatation, but it also enables a hyperemic state lasting long enough to make a reliable pullback recording along a diseased artery. If adenosine is not administered by a central venous line but by peripheral infusion, sometimes its action may be less reliable because adenosine is rapidly inactivated in blood, and a maximum hyperemic status is not always achieved. Some operators have increased this peripheral venous dosage to 180 μg/kg/min, others were prone to increase the ischemic threshold of FFR in such a case, but we should admit such actions mean covering one mistake by another.
Despite the fact that central venous infusion of adenosine is the gold standard, and insertion of a femoral sheath is very easy in a catheterization laboratory, it does entail a small additional risk and, in the case of radial procedures, is inconvenient.
The alternative is intracoronary administration of adenosine, which does not require central venous canulation but only creates very short-lasting hyperemia that is insufficient to make a pressure pullback recording (11,14). In patients with a single stenosis in an otherwise rather normal coronary artery, that is not a true problem. But unfortunately, most of our patients have multivessel disease, multiple abnormalities along a coronary artery, or focal lesions superimposed upon diffused disease. Therefore, when using intracoronary adenosine, only the total FFR is obtained, without information about the pressure decline along the coronary artery. So, part of the essential information is lacking, and it is difficult to judge whether it makes sense to stent (in case of focal pressure drops) or not (in case of a gradual decline of pressure) (15).
Furthermore, reliable intracoronary administration of adenosine requires a stable guiding catheter position to avoid spillage into the aorta. However, a guiding catheter too deeply engaged might partly prevent true maximum hyperemia. This makes intracoronary adenosine a much more complicated hyperemic stimulus than often believed, producing ambiguity with respect to the necessary dosage (as shown by De Luca et al. ), along with difficulties in interpretation, and is often much more time-consuming compared with centrally administered intravenous adenosine.
Furthermore, the use of intracoronary adenosine is complicated by the very short half-life without a steady-state. In the study by De Luca et al. (13), the good news is that the absolute differences in FFR between the lowest and highest doses of adenosine were very small (decreasing from 0.79 to 0.77) and most likely none, or very few, of their patients moved from above the currently accepted upper limit of the gray zone of FFR (0.76 to 0.80) to below the lower limit.
Intracoronary papaverine, in a dosage of 8 to 12 mg in the right coronary artery and 12 to 20 mg in the left coronary artery, is an alternative method creating sufficiently long hyperemia (30 to 60 s) to make a pullback recording, with some dislodging of the guiding catheter if indicated, but is less used in the United States and Western Europe because of a small risk of polymorphous ventricular tachycardia (11,14).
The ideal hyperemic stimulus should be easy to administer (e.g., in a peripheral venous infusion or intracoronarily), have a short onset until maximum hyperemia is achieved, have a duration long enough to enable pressure pullback recordings (a few minutes), have few side effects, and be eliminated within a few minutes.
In the paper by Nair et al. (12), such a stimulus is proposed, i.e., regadenoson in a dosage of 400 μg as a single injection in a peripheral infusion. If a central vein is present, it might be assumed that it will act in a similar way. The study by Nair et al. (12) was carefully performed and encouraging because the rate of hyperemia was almost exactly identical to intravenous adenosine without misclassifying any stenosis when the FFR threshold of 0.80 was used (16). The hemodynamic effects (a slight decrease in blood pressure and increase in heart rate) were comparable between both stimuli, whereas only minimal subjective side effects were observed.
However, before accepting regadenoson as a sufficient (and maybe ideal) hyperemic stimulus for FFR measurement, some more work has to be done, and a number of limitations should be critically assessed. First, the study by Nair et al. (12) was performed in a small group of patients with intermediate stenoses in single-vessel disease only and under favorable clinical conditions. In those patients, a marvelous correlation was found between both intravenous adenosine as a gold standard and regadenoson as the proposed alternative. Furthermore, the assessment of side effects was somewhat clouded by the fact that the patients in this study were sedated, which is not routine in patients undergoing PCI in a catheterization laboratory. Validation in many more patients over a larger range of stenoses and a larger variety of clinical conditions should be performed.
Furthermore, in creating maximum hyperemia in a coronary artery for FFR measurement, 2 aspects are important: induction of truly maximum hyperemia to calculate FFR and maintaining maximum hyperemia for a period long enough to perform a pressure pullback recording to analyze a decline of pressure along the artery. From the data by Nair et al. (12), it seems that regadenoson is sufficient, but in their study, no exact time intervals were measured with respect to the duration of action of regadenoson.
In addition, the measurements were not performed in duplicate, and before accepting regadenoson as the gold standard, reproducibility should be tested.
Next, measurements and validation versus intravenous adenosine should also be performed over a wider spectrum of stenosis severity with FFR values over the complete range (in stable patients between 0.35 and 1.00).
The study by Nair et al. (12) was performed meticulously, using state-of-the-art FFR measurements. The authors equalized pressures before entering the coronary artery, careful attention was paid to avoid arterial pressure damping (1 of the reasons why FFR can be measured artificially too high), and the pressure differences were assessed on a beat-to-beat basis and not from a mean pressure tracing which can lead to overestimation of FFR, especially when intracoronary adenosine is used.
Also and importantly, the authors took the responsibility and consequences of their actions by strictly adhering to treating patients with FFR <0.80 and deferring PCI or CABG in patients with FFR >0.80.
As mentioned, the side effects of both drugs seemed to be favorable although this group of patients is very small. The authors are careful to say that regadenoson maybe safely used with mild or moderate reactive airway disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It should be emphasized that adenosine is also safe in these patients and that only in cases of severe asthma, might intravenous adenosine cause problems.
In the practice of the authors of this editorial in more than 10,000 patients in whom intravenous adenosine was administered for FFR measurement, severe asthma attacks were only observed 3 times. More often, the subjective and harmless feeling of dyspnea experienced by patients receiving adenosine-like drugs (also regadenoson) is sometimes confused with asthma. Safety of intravenous adenosine is beyond doubt, and it might be anticipated that the same holds true for regadenoson.
Obtaining a reliable FFR measurement depends on induction of maximum coronary hyperemia. Failure to induce maximum hyperemia will result in overestimation of FFR and undertreatment of the patient. Therefore, the endeavors to find easier hyperemic stimuli are important and the authors of the papers in this issue of JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, should be commended for their contribution.
Nevertheless, further studies in a larger group of patients with a large variety of stenosis severity and clinical conditions, and further investigation of the time intervals of action, are mandatory before large-scale use of regadenoson for FFR measurement can be recommended. In the mean time, it is likely that operators experienced in fractional flow reserve, will already build up experience on a compassionate-use basis.

'We will not be denied,' top labor leader says
March 1, 2010	10:25 AM CST By John Wojcik
ORLANDO, Fla. – As the nation's union leaders gather here for a meeting of the AFL-CIO executive council, the federation's executive vice president, Arlene Holt Baker, scoffed at media reports that unions have lower expectations now than they did when Barack Obama was elected president.
"Why should we have lower expectations?" she asked. "His election was a big victory for working families and it remains a major reason we can and will fight like hell for all the thing American workers need – starting with jobs.
Interviewed here this weekend, Holt Baker said, "There are more than 15 million unemployed in need of jobs. This is why we have a five-point jobs program to create massive numbers of public service jobs, infrastructure jobs and extensions of unemployment and COBRA benefits. We will plan this week how this fight will be taken forward and we will not lower our expectations, because the American people are not lowering their expectations. They expect jobs and they expect health care."
The labor movement is aware that the changes are nor coming "as fast as we would like" but that this is due to "the intransigence of powerful forces arrayed against us," she said. "The American people have taken these forces on before and they are doing it again and they and we will not be denied."
Asked about the difficulties in getting health care reform through the Congress and whether labor had hoped for more to be accomplished much sooner, she said, "Again, the message coming from the people is 'We will not be denied.' Majorities want health care reformed and labor has helped lead that fight. Because we didn't get it as fast as we would have liked, that is no reason to give up. We continued to fight and now you see the president fighting. I am proud that the labor movement has helped keep this going."
Turning to labor law reform and passage of the Employee Free Choice Act, which has been stalled in Congress by Republican senators determined to prevent its passage, Holt Baker declared, "Working people will not be denied this either. A clear majority supports unions and a majority of those without unions want to be in unions."
She noted that "we have a president who says it better than anyone else: 'Unions are not part of the problem. They are part of the solution.' And we will continue to hold him to that."
The AFL-CIO leader took issue with those who interpret the election of Scott Brown, a Republican, to the Senate in Massachusetts as another sign of labor's weakening clout at the hands of the Tea Party movement. "Nothing could be further from the truth," she said. "People voting for Scott Brown were expressing frustration about the slow pace of change. The Tea Party opposes health care reform, opposes jobs programs and opposes unions. This is not true of the majority of Scott Brown voters."
Union leaders will use the next three days here to map out a strategy for a massive jobs campaign and for their continuing fight for health care reform. They expect to carry out these battles in the context of the 2010 mid-term elections and say they will be mounting their biggest effort ever during those elections. Vice President Joe Biden is meeting with the labor leaders on Monday.

A tingling sensation on your teeth can certainly be an indication of tooth sensitivity which is also termed as dentin hypersensitivity. There could be many factors which can lead to such dental conditions and getting it treated at the right time can help heal the discomfort. Your teeth can get sensitive when the dentin which is yellow in color and lies beneath your enamel gets exposed.
Dentin consists of many microscopic tubules and when they come in contact with anything hot or cold, the sensation reaches to the nerves inside the tooth.
Today, we have discussed some of the causes of dentin hypersensitivity which are given below.
A Cracked Tooth: A cracked tooth can expose the nerves situated inside your tooth which may result in increased dentin hypersensitivity. This may also lead to difficulties while chewing your food. The severity of the cracked tooth can worsen if you ignore its condition.
When You Experience Gum Recession: Gum recession is one of the most alarming signs of gum disease and you may experience tooth sensitivity if your gums start to recede. The dentin might get exposed due to this condition which will certainly lead to sensitive teeth. A proper dental hygiene can help prevent gum recession.
Plaque Buildup: Plaque can get accumulated around the gum line due to poor oral hygiene. The sticky film consists of bacteria which can wear down the enamel and lead to dentin hypersensitivity. Plaque buildup can not only cause tooth sensitivity, but can also trigger several other oral problems. Thus, make sure you floss between your teeth every day to remove the trapped debris.
Aggressive Brushing: Brushing your teeth vigorously will certainly affect your enamel and cause sensitive teeth. Therefore, it is necessary to know the proper technique of brushing. Also, use a soft-bristled toothbrush to avoid abrasion.
When You Grind Your Teeth: Bruxism or teeth grinding is one of the major causes of dentin hypersensitivity. Your tooth enamel is quite strong, but it can wear down if you clench or grind your teeth. People mostly experience bruxism while sleeping. Consult a dentist right away if your head aches after waking up or if your jaw muscles and face pains as these are the symptoms of teeth grinding.
Are you experiencing sensitive teeth? Call Smile Avenue Family Dentistry today at (832) 648-1756 to get the condition treated. Our dental office is located at 9212 Fry Road, Suite 120 Cypress TX 77433.

Calling it "unprecedented," officials with the Animal Rescue League of Boston announced Tuesday that they removed a total of 112 animals from three different hoarding situations around Massachusetts during the month of August, with more than 60 cats rescued from one property alone.
Almost 40 cats are still being treated for infections, including ringworm, which requires veterinary staff and volunteers to don haz-mat suits, gloves and masks as safety precautions.
Staffers even set up a "MASH"-style outdoor unit outside of the ARL's Dedham Animal Care and Adoption Center where a veterinarian and staff were able to examine cats, perform spay/neutering operations and give the animals medications for fleas and ringworm.
"Performing these surgeries in a tent isn't exactly unorthodox, but it does present challenges," Dr. Kyle Quigley said.
The animals came from locations in central and southeastern Massachusetts. The owners cooperated with the ARL staff, according to officials.
Although some of the animals that were surrendered in August have new forever homes, many still need to be adopted. Click here to learn more about the cats and dogs available for adoption at the ARL of Boston.


Kindergarten students work very hard throughout the year.
During our Reader's Workshop, we practice decoding and comprehension skills as we become independent readers. We learn to read and tell about the stories we read. We explore nonfiction as we learn about our world.
Writer's Workshop helps us to share our stories, thoughts, and knowledge with everyone. We learn to express ourselves clearly. We also work on the mechanics of writing (correct letter formation, spacing, punctuation and grammar).
Math Workshop is always an exciting time. We work together in large and small groups to lay the foundations of our math thinking. We learn to count, compare numbers, add, subtract, identify coins and identify shapes. We practice measuring in a variety of ways (length, weight, capacity).
Our goal is for students to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners. By the end of the school year, we plan for every student to be successful in first grade and beyond.
We look forward to teaching your children this year!
