Electronic Support for Public Health–Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (ESP:VAERS) – AHRQ
Post date 1 September 2021
[F]ewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events are reported. Low reporting rates preclude or slow the identification of "problem" drugs and vaccines that endanger public health. New surveillance methods for drug and vaccine adverse effects are needed. Barriers to reporting include a lack of clinician awareness, uncertainty about when and what to report, as well as the burdens of reporting: reporting is not part of clinicians' usual workflow, takes time, and is duplicative. Proactive, spontaneous, automated adverse event reporting imbedded within EHRs and other information systems has the potential to speed the identification of problems with new drugs and more careful quantification of the risks of older drugs.

Facemasks in the COVID-19 era: A health hypothesis – NCBI
Many countries across the globe utilized medical and non-medical facemasks as non-pharmaceutical intervention for reducing the transmission and infectivity of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Although, scientific evidence supporting facemasks' efficacy is lacking, adverse physiological, psychological and health effects are established. Is has been hypothesized that facemasks have compromised safety and efficacy profile and should be avoided from use. The current article comprehensively summarizes scientific evidences with respect to wearing facemasks in the COVID-19 era, providing prosper information for public health and decisions making.
…The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, supporting against the usage of facemasks. Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects.

'We've closed all of Cornwall down for three people in hospital': Healthcare assistant who publicly resigned claiming she had 'no work to do for three weeks' at peak of the pandemic says claim the NHS is overrun is 'all lies' – Daily Mail
Post date 5 November 2020
Shelley Tasker, 43, from Camborne, Cornwall, resigned from Treliske hospital
Healthcare assistant made speech outside Truro cathedral and revealed what's been going on behind closed doors of NHS hospitals
Claims she had no work for three weeks at height of pandemic due to no patients
"I can tell you on Friday in Treliske there were three people in with Covid. No extra deaths, three – and that covers Treliske, West Cornwall and Hayle hospital…The total deaths from these three hospitals in seven months, is 76 people – that's about ten people a month over the last seven months, and we have locked down."

Masks, false safety and real dangers, Part 1: Friable mask particulate and lung vulnerability – ResearchGate
There is no biological history of mass masking until the current era. It is important to consider possible outcomes of this society-wide experiment. The consequences to the health of individuals is as yet unknown. Masked individuals have measurably higher inspiratory flow than non-masked individuals. This study is of new masks removed from manufacturer packaging, as well as a laundered cloth mask, examined microscopically. Loose particulate was seen on each type of mask. Also, tight and loose fibers were seen on each type of mask. If every foreign particle and every fiber in every facemask is always secure and not detachable by airflow, then there should be no risk of inhalation of such particles and fibers. However, if even a small portion of mask fibers is detachable by inspiratory airflow, or if there is debris in mask manufacture or packaging or handling, then there is the possibility of not only entry of foreign material to the airways, but also entry to deep lung tissue, and potential pathological consequences of foreign bodies in the lungs.

Quantifying the cost of lockdown – The Spectator
We have had plenty of anecdotes about people failing to be diagnosed with serious diseases during lockdown. This is thanks to either to hospitals cancelling appointments, GP surgeries stopping face-to-face meetings or people picking up the message that they should protect the NHS by trying not to use it.

Diagnosis of physical and mental health conditions in primary care during the COVID-19 pandemic: a retrospective cohort study – The Lancet
Our study shows that the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a large number of potentially missed or delayed diagnoses of health conditions, which carry high risk if not promptly diagnosed and effectively treated. Primary and secondary care services must proactively prepare to address the large backlog of patients that is likely to follow. Should a public health emergency on the scale of the COVID-19 pandemic occur in the future, or if subsequent surges in COVID-19 cases arise, national communication strategies must be carefully considered to ensure that large numbers of patients with urgent health needs do not disengage with health services.

Stillbirth rate rises dramatically during pandemic – Nature
A slew of studies from around the world has reported a disturbing trend: since the coronavirus pandemic started, there has been a significant rise in the proportion of pregnancies ending in stillbirths, in which babies die in the womb. Researchers say that in some countries, pregnant women have received less care than they need because of lockdown restrictions and disruptions to health care. As a result, complications that can lead to stillbirths were probably missed, they say.

The Lockdown Lobotomy – The Critic
While naysayers may pick holes in specific studies, the quantity and consistency of evidence is overwhelming: lockdown is stressful, it harms cognitive function, and it makes you susceptible to disease. Ultimately, the toll is high. A meta-analytic review (Holt-Lunstad et al., 2015) found that social isolation increases the likelihood of mortality by 29%. In short, lockdown is murder.

'Mask Mouth' is Smelly Side Effect of Mask Wearing – Dr. Rob Ramondi, California Globe
Post date 7 August 2020
California Globe has seen reports of lung infections from long-term mask wearing, persistent coughing, as well as dermatitis on the skin around the mouth.
Providing one more reason healthy people should not wear face masks, Dentists report they are seeing a new syndrome brought about by mask-wearing which the doctors have dubbed "mask mouth," Fox News reports.
The moisture trapped in face masks creates a petri dish of breeding ground for bacteria, as it is in place directly over your mouth.
Constant mask-wearing "is leading to all kinds of dental disasters like decaying teeth, receding gum lines and seriously sour breath.
"We're seeing inflammation in people's gums that have been healthy forever, and cavities in people who have never had them before," says Dr. Rob Ramondi, a dentist and co-founder of One Manhattan Dental. "About 50% of our patients are being impacted by this, [so] we decided to name it 'mask mouth' — after 'meth mouth.' "

COVID-19: The downside of social distancing – Science Daily
When faced with danger, humans draw closer together. Social distancing thwarts this impulse. Professor Ophelia Deroy from Ludwigs-Maximilians Universitaet in Munich (LMU) and colleagues argue that this dilemma poses a greater threat to society than overtly antisocial behavior.

Corruption in global health: the open secret – The Lancet (2019)
Corruption is embedded in health systems. Throughout my life—as a researcher, public health worker, and a Minister of Health—I have been able to see entrenched dishonesty and fraud. But despite being one of the most important barriers to implementing universal health coverage around the world, corruption is rarely openly discussed. In this Lecture, I outline the magnitude of the problem of corruption, how it started, and what is happening now. I also outline people's fears around the topic, what is needed to address corruption, and the responsibilities of the academic and research communities in all countries, irrespective of their level of economic development. Policy makers, researchers, and funders need to think about corruption as an important area of research in the same way we think about diseases. If we are really aiming to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and ensure healthy lives for all, corruption in global health must no longer be an open secret.

Records mention the Gopalas and Mahishapalas believed to have been the earliest rulers with their capital at Matatirtha, the south-west corner of the Kathmandu Valley. From the 7th or 8th Century B.C. the Kirantis are said to have ruled the valley. Their famous King Yalumber is even mentioned in the epic, 'Mahabharat'. Around 300 A.D. the Lichhavis arrived from northern India and overthrew the Kirantis. One of the legacies of the Lichhavis is the Changu Narayan Temple near Bhaktapur, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (Culture), which dates back to the 5th Century. In the early 7th Century, Amshuvarma, the first Thakuri king took over the throne from his father-in-law who was a Lichhavi. He married off his daughter Bhrikuti to the famous Tibetan King Tsong Tsen Gampo thus establishing good relations with Tibet. The Lichhavis brought art and architecture to the valley but the golden age of creativity arrived in 1200 A.D with the Mallas.
During their 550 year rule, the Mallas built numerous temples and splendid palaces with picturesque squares. It was also during their rule that society and the cities became well organized; religious festivals were introduced and literature, music and art were encouraged. After the death of Yaksha Malla, the valley was divided into three kingdoms: Kathmandu (Kantipur), Bhaktapur (Bhadgaon) and Patan (Lalitpur). Around this time, the Nepal as we know it today was divided into about 46 independent principalities. One among these was the kingdom of Gorkha with a Shah ruler. Much of Kathmandu Valley's history around this time was recorded by Capuchin friars who lived in the valley on their way in and out of Tibet.
An ambitious Gorkha King named Prithvi Narayan Shah embarked on a conquering mission that led to the defeat of all the kingdoms in the valley (including Kirtipur which was an independent state) by 1769. Instead of annexing the newly acquired states to his kingdom of Gorkha, Prithvi Narayan decided to move his capital to Kathmandu establishing the Shah dynasty which ruled unified Nepal from 1769 to 2008.
The history of the Gorkha state goes back to 1559 when Dravya Shah established a kingdom in an area chiefly inhabited by Magars. During the 17th and early 18th centuries, Gorkha continued a slow expansion, conquering various states while forging alliances with others. Prithvi Narayan dedicated himself at an early age to the conquest of the Kathmandu Valley. Recognizing the threat of the British Raj in India, he dismissed European missionaries from the country and for more than a century, Nepal remained in isolation.
During the mid-19th Century Jung Bahadur Rana became Nepal's first prime minister to wield absolute power relegating the Shah king to mere figureheads. He started a hereditary reign of the Rana Prime Ministers that lasted for 104 years. The Ranas were overthrown in a democracy movement of the early 1950s with support from the-then monarch of Nepal, King Tribhuvan. Soon after the overthrow of the Ranas, King Tribhuvan was reinstated as the Head of the State. In early 1959, Tribhuvan's son King Mahendra issued a new constitution, and the first democratic elections for a national assembly were held. The Nepali Congress Party was victorious and their leader, Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala formed a government and served as prime minister. But by 1960, King Mahendra had changed his mind and dissolved Parliament, dismissing the first democratic government.
After many years of struggle when the political parties were banned, they finally mustered enough courage to start a People's Movement in 1990. Paving way for democracy, the then-King Birendra accepted constitutional reforms and established a multiparty parliament with King as the Head of State and an executive Prime Minister. In May 1991, Nepal held its first parliamentary elections. In February 1996, the Maoist parties declared People's War against monarchy and the elected government.
Then on 1st June 2001, a horrific tragedy wiped out the entire royal family including King Birendra and Queen Aishwarya with many of their closest relatives. With only King Birendra's brother, Gyanendra and his family surviving, he was crowned the king. King Gyanendra abided by the elected government for some time and then dismissed the elected Parliament to wield absolute power.In April 2006, another People's Movement was launched jointly by the democratic parties focusing most energy in Kathmandu which led to a 19-day curfew. Eventually, King Gyanendra relinquished his power and reinstated the Parliament.On November 21, 2006, Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala and Maoist chairman Prachanda signed the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) 2006, committing to democracy and peace for the progress of the country and people. A Constituent Assembly election was held on April 10, 2008. On May 28,2008, the newly elected Constituent Assembly declared Nepal a Federal Democratic Republic, abolishing the 240 year-old monarchy. Nepal today has a President as Head of State and a Prime Minister heading the Government.
Nepal is located in South Asia between China in the north and India in the south, east and west. While the total land area is 147,181 sq. km including water area of the country that is 3,830 sq. km. The geographical coordinates are 28'00'N84'00'N Nepal falls in the temperate zone north of the Tropic of Cancer.Nepal's ecological zones run east to west about 800 km along its Himalayan axis, 150 to 250 km north to south, and is vertically intersected by the river systems. The country can be divided into three main geographical regions: Himalayan region, mid hill region and Terai region. The highest point in the country is Mt. Everest (8,848 m) while the lowest point is in the Terai plains of Kechana Kalan in Jhapa (60 m).
The Terai region, with width of ranging 26 to 32 km and altitude ranging from 60 -305 m, occupies about 17 percent of total land area of the country. Kechana Kalan, the lowest point of the country with an altitude of 60 m, lies in Jhapa district of the eastern Terai.The southern lowland Terai continues to the Bhabar belt covered with the Char Kose Jhadi forests known for rich wildlife. Further north, the Siwalik zone (700 – 1,500 m) and the Mahabharat range (1,500 – 2,700 m) give way to the Duns (valleys), such as Trijuga, Sindhuli, Chitwan, Dang and Surkhet. The Midlands (600 – 3,500 m), north of the Mahabharat range is where the two beautiful valleys of Kathmandu and Pokhara lie covered in terraced rice fields, and surrounded by forested watersheds.
The Himalayas (above 3,000 m) comprises mountains, alpine pastures and temperate forests limited by the tree-line (4,000 m) and snow line (5,500 m). Eight of the 14 eight-thousanders of the world lie in Nepal: Sagarmatha or Mount Everest (8,848 m), Kanchenjunga (8,586 m), Lhotse (8,516 m), Makalu (8,463 m), Cho Oyu (8,201m), Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Manaslu (8,163 m) and Annapurna (8,091 m). The inner Himalayan valley (above 3,600 m) such as Mustang and Dolpa are cold deserts sharing topographical characteristics with the Tibetan plateau.Nepal holds the so called "waters towers of South Asia" with its 6,000 rivers which are snow-fed or dependent on rain. The perennial rivers include Mahakali, Karnali, Narayani and Koshi rivers originating in the Himalayas. Medium-sized rivers like Babai, West Rapti, Bagmati, Kamla, Kankai and Mechi originate in the Midlands and Mahabharat range. A large number of seasonal streams, mostly originating in Siwaliks, flow across the Terai.
Of 163 wetlands documented, the nine globally recognized Ramsar sites are: Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve, Beeshazarital (Chitwan), Jagdishpur Reservoir (Kapilvastu) Ghodaghodi Tal (Kailali) in the Terai, and gokoyo (Solukhumbu), Phoksundo (Dolpa), Rara (Mugu) and Mai Pokhari (Ilam) in the mountain region.There are more than 30 natural caves in the country out of which only a few are accessible by road. Maratika Cave (also known as Haleshi) is a pilgrimage site associated with Buddhism and Hinduism. Siddha Cave is near Bimalnagar along the Kathmandu-Pokhara highway. Pokhara is also known for caves namely Bats' shed, Batulechar, Gupteswar, Patale Chhango. The numerous caves around Lo Manthang in Mustang include Luri and Tashi Kabum which house ancient murals and chhortens dating back to the 13th century.
CLIMATE OF NEPAL
Climatic conditions of Nepal vary from one place to another in accordance with their geographical features. In the north summers are cool and winters severe, while in the south summers are tropical and winters are mild. Nepal has five seasons: spring, summer, monsoon, autumn and winter.
In the Terai (south Nepal), summer temperatures exceed 37° C and higher in some areas, winter temperatures range from 7°C to 23°C in the Terai. In mountainous regions, hills and valleys, summers are temperate while winter temperatures can plummet under sub zero. The Kathmandu valley has a pleasant climate with average summer and winter temperatures of 19°C – 35°C and 2°C – 12°C respectively.
Good to know is that on average temperatures drop 6°C for every 1,000 m you gain in altitude.
The Himalayas act as a barrier to the cold winds blowing from Central Asia in winter, and forms the northern boundary of the monsoon wind patterns. Eighty percent of all the rain in Nepal is received during the monsoon (June-September). Winter rains are more pronounced in the western hills. The average annual rainfall is 1,600 mm, but it varies by eco-climatic zones, such as 3,345 mm in Pokhara and below 300 mm in Mustang.
Customs and traditions differ from one part of Nepal to another. A conglomeration lies in capital city Kathmandu where cultures are blending to form a national identity. Kathmandu Valley has served as the country's cultural metropolis since the unification of Nepal in the 18th Century.A prominent factor in a Nepali's everyday life is religion. Adding color to the lives of Nepalis are festivals the year round which they celebrate with much pomp and joy. Food plays an important role in the celebration of these festivals.
Nepal was declared a secular country by the Parliament on May 18, 2006. Religions practiced in Nepal are: Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Jainism, Sikhism, Bon, ancestor worship and animism. The majority of Nepalis are either Hindus or Buddhism. The two have co-existed in harmony through centuries.
Buddha is widely worshipped by both Buddhists and Hindus of Nepal. The five Dhyani Buddhas; Vairochana, Akshobhaya, Rathasambhava, Amitabha and Amoghasiddhi, represent the five basic elements: earth, fire, water, air and ether. Buddhist philosophy conceives these deities to be the manifestations of Sunya or absolute void. Mahakaala and Bajrayogini are Vajrayana Buddhist deities worshipped by Hindus as well.
Hindu Nepalis worship the ancient Vedic gods. Bramha the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver and Shiva the Destroyer, are worshipped as the Supreme Hindu Trinity. People pray to the Shiva Linga or the phallic symbol of Lord Shiva in most Shiva temples. Shakti, the dynamic element in the female counterpart of Shiva, is highly revered and feared.
Mahadevi, Mahakali, Bhagabati, Ishwari are some of the names given. Kumari, the Virgin Goddess, also represents Shakti.Other popular deities are Ganesh for luck, Saraswati for knowledge, Lakshmi for wealth and Hanuman for protection. Krishna, believed to be the human incarnation of Lord Vishnu is also worshipped widely. Hindu holy scripts Bhagawat Gita, Ramayan and Mahabharat are widely read in Nepal. Vedas, Upanishads and other holy scriptures are read by well learned Brahmin Pundits during special occasions.
Customs:
The diversity in Nepal in terms of ethnicity again makes room for various sets of customs. Most of these customs go back to the Hindu, Buddhist or other religious traditions. Among them, the rules of marriage are particularly interesting. Traditional marriages call for deals arranged by parents after the boy or girl come of age.
Nepalis do not eat beef. There are several reasons for this, one being that the Hindus worship cow. Cow is also the national animal of Nepal. Another interesting concept among Nepalis is division of pure and impure. "Jutho" referring to food or material touched by another's mouth directly or indirectly, is considered impure by Nepalis. Nepalis consider cow dung to be pure for cleansing purposes. During menstruation women are considered impure and hence, are kept in seclusion until their fourth day purification bath.Nepal is a patriarchal society. Men usually go out to work while women are homemakers. However, in cities, roles can differ. Most Nepalis abide by the caste system in living habits and marriage. Rural Nepal is mostly agrarian, while some aspects of urban life carry glitz and glamour of the ultra-modern world.
Nepal does not have a distinct cooking style. However, food habits differ depending on the region. Nepali food has been influenced by Indian and Tibetan styles of cooking. Authentic Nepali taste is found in Newari and Thakai cuisines. Most Nepalis do not use cutlery but eat with their right hand.The regular Nepali meal is dal (lentil soup), bhat (boiled rice) and tarkari (curried vegetables), often accompanied by achar (pickle). Curried meat is very popular, but is saved for special occasions, as it is relatively more expensive. Momos (steamed or fried dumplings) deserve a mention as one of the most popular snack among Nepalis. Rotis (flat bread) and dhedo (boiled flour) also make meals in some homes.
There is no seasonal constraint on traveling in and through Nepal. Even in December and January, when winter is at its severest, there are compensating bright sun and brilliant views. As with most of the trekking areas in Nepal, the best time to visit are during spring and autumn. Spring is the time for rhododendrons while the clearest skies are found after the monsoon in October and November. However, Nepal can be visited the whole year round.
Of the total number of species found globally, 3.96 percent mammals, 3.72 percent butterflies and 8.9 percent of birds. Wildlife of Nepal is officially classified into two main categories: common and protected. The common category lists such species as common leopard, spotted deer, Himalayan tahr, blue sheep and others. These species are commonly seen in the wild. The protected species include 26 mammals, nine birds and three reptiles. These rare animals are confined to their prime habitats.
The endemic fauna are: Himalayan field mouse, spiny babbler, Nepali kalij, 14 herpetofauna, and six types of fishes.
Mammals:
Nepal has 185 species of mammals found in various parts of the country. Found in Nepal's dense Terai jungles are exotic animals like the Asiatic elephant, the one-horned rhinoceros, the Royal Bengal tiger among others. Also found here are the leopard, monkey, langur, hyena, jackal, wild boar, antelope, wild cat, wolf, sloth bear, chital or spotted deer and barking deer. Wild buffalo locally called "Arna" is found in the Koshi Tappu region. The western Terai jungles of Suklaphanta is home of the of swamp deer, while the endangered blackbucks are found in the Bardia region. Nepal Government has made an effort to preserve blackbucks by declaring an area of 15.95 sq. km. in Bardia as Blackbuck Conservation Area.
Nepal even has its own variety of dolphins found in the fresh waters of Narayani and Karnali rivers. The Himalayan region is also home to the elusive snow leopard and the red panda. Red panda, a rare sight because of its shy nature, may be found from Langtang region to Kanchenjunga region. Other mammals that live in high altitude areas are yak, blue sheep, Himalayan tahr and musk deer. While otters are found in the Rara region north west, the Dhorpatan hunting grounds is home of the blue sheep and Himalayan tahr.
Reptiles:
Nepal has two indigenous species of crocodile: the fish eating gharial with the long narrow snout and the marsh mugger which is omnivorous, eating anything it can catch. A very successful breeding project has brought the gharial back from extinction. Some of the snakes found in Nepal are: cobras, kraits, vipers and the Indian python. Other reptiles found in the country are turtles and monitor lizards. Some of these reptiles can be seen in the Chitwan National Park and Bardia National Park.
Nepal has more than 850 recorded species of birds. Amazingly, half of these birds can be seen in and around the Kathmandu valley alone. The hills around the valley especially Nagarjun, Godavari and Phulchowki are popular birding areas. Phulchowki at 2,760 m boasts about 90 bird species including the endemic spiny babbler, which was thought to be extinct until it was spotted in Nepal. Another rare species of bird, the red-headed trogan, was also sighted here in April 2000.
National parks like Chitwan and Bardia harbor a wide variety of birds too. In Chitwan, endangered vultures are being protected from contaminated food by establishing "Vulture Restaurant" which feeds them safe carcasses. The Koshi Tappu region is home to a large species of resident and migratory birds. It has about 26 varieties of ducks alone. About 485 species have been sighted here, including black ibis, honey kites, ospreys, black headed orioles, peregrine falcon, partridges, ruddy shelduck, storks, vultures and eagles among others.In the higher Himalayan region are found different species of the raptors and birds of prey. Nepal's national bird, the Danphe or impeyen pheasant, is also found in the Himalayan region. A rare bird known as jerdon's baza was sighted in Nepal. Over the past few years a conservation group has worked specifically in the Lumbini area to conserve the sarus crane.

Q: Is it secure to put the user id as a url parameter? I am developing a social network and I would like to know if in the profile page of a user I could put the user id stored in database as a parameter in the url or is it a bad idea in terms of security?
I want the url to be bookmarkable. Should I put another thing instead of the user id?

A: In terms of security there's no problem in putting the user id in a url. For example StackOverflow does it already: https://stackoverflow.com/users/3477044/aliuk
What's important is to verify that the currently authenticated user is allowed to access this url and take actions on its behalf.

A: most socialnetwork i've been using, use username as url not id, of course it also affects seo, since u have "pretty url".
Security is really depend on how you write your code, say there is a page to edit-profile, if you put on your code something like:
UPDATE .. SET .. WHERE id = $_GET['id']
no question it's dangerous, you should check every user action, like posting/editing profile, etc. who is login, not what's the id on current url

A: It is secure if you secure your website against sql injection.
But if breach happens all users are vunerable. Only thing that hacker needs to do is find the user profile get his id. Copy output of sql injection. Go to text editor. Press ctrl - f and search for user id.

The SASHTO Board of Directors met on August 30, 2016 and approved resolutions summarized in this Policy and Legislation Agenda. The full text of the resolutions is at Resolutions2016.pdf.
Transportation Funding Rescissions — SASHTO recommends that no rescission be enacted in 2017. States should be given full flexibility to apply any funding rescissions to their entire balance of unobligated contract authority or applying the rescission proportionally across every applicable program category.
Transportation Funding — the federal government must continue to seek stable and sustainable funding sources to ensure an integrated and multi-modal national surface transportation system. Funding levels in the FAST Act should be maintained at a minimum. Congress should ensure a seamless continuation of transportation authorizations that incorporates a fair, equitable, flexible and adequately funded distribution of federal funds.
Toll Interoperability — with growing interest among states to explore toll financing as a method to address current and future transportation improvement needs, SASHTO states should promote electronic toll collection interoperability among the toll agencies of their respective states and others. The development of enforceable reciprocity rules through state laws and/or regulations is also recommended.
National Highway System — the FAST Act failed to address the failure of many NHS routes to meet the description of the NHS nor provide any significant regional, state or national role(s). Congress should further revise the present system modification process to allow States, in consultation with local officials, to selectively remove and add mileage from the NHS in line with system criteria.
Transportation and the Economy — SASHTO recommends an expanded federal, state and private sector collaboration to reinvest in transportation infrastructure at levels that would steadily reduce the backlog of needs, reduce the cost of congestion, and spur economic growth. Congress should advance legislation that promotes and incentivizes varied public-private partnerships and private investments to expand transportation revenue.
Accelerated Project Delivery — SASHTO urges the federal government to continue efforts to accelerate project delivery and environmental streamlining, and to continue to direct, influence, and manage initiatives and improvements to further expedite environmental evaluations and decision-making and reduce unproductive regulatory burdens.
Tax Exempt Transportation Financing — the current financing of the federal surface transportation program is not sustainable and won't address current and future transportation needs. SASHTO supports providing access to tax-exempt transportation financing, by increasing the federal volume cap on Private Activity Bonds. This will bring much needed private investment in transportation infrastructure.
Transportation Infrastructure Financing and Innovation Act (TIFIA) — TIFIA credit assistance for major transportation investments provides enhanced access to capital markets, flexible repayment terms, and favorable interest rates. SASHTO believes that the TIFIA program is an essential element in meeting the nation's transportation needs and urges that it be sustained at current levels.
National Performance Measures — SASHTO states are committed to performance management and performance measurement, but strongly oppose using performance measures to apportion federal funds among the states. States and MPOs should also have maximum flexibility in setting performance targets.
Leading Transportation Change and Innovation — States are laboratories for innovation. SASHTO states will continue to be innovation leaders creating, implementing and sharing solutions to meet the transportation challenges of today and the future. SASHTO will partner with all levels of government and other stakeholders to foster an innovative and collaborative problem solving climate.
New Partnerships — SASHTO states commit to greater collaboration with the Southern Governors Association, the Southern Legislative Conference, the private sector and others to advocate common transportation policies, strategies, and solutions to meet our transportation needs.
MPO Coordination and Planning Area Reform — SASHTO fully supports the comments of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials on the June 27, 2016 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Metropolitan Planning Organization Coordination and Planning Area Reform.

CWSF dates to change for 2018 season
MARSHFIELD – The Central Wisconsin State Fair board recently decided to proceed with its decision to adjust the fair dates for the 2018 fair season, moving the event from its longtime home on Labor Day weekend.
"After (the Nov. 27) board meeting, the decision has been made and finalized, and we are moving the Central Wisconsin State Fair to the dates of August 21st through the 26th," said Central Wisconsin State Fair (CWSF) Executive Director Dale Christiansen, "a week earlier than what we've been accustomed to for many, many years. The fair is actually going to run a Tuesday through Sunday."
Christiansen said that the move is an attempt to reverse the steady decline which has been marked in attendance and revenue since 2012.
"What got us to this decision, if you really go back over the course of the last couple of years, we've been noticing every year a steady decline in attendance, and what we've been told by our clientele is that the fair is becoming boring, the fair is stagnant, there is nothing new," he said. "So, we had to take a look at things that we could do to refresh the fair and in doing such, we came to the decision that we would look at different carnival companies and that type of thing.
"We were able to come up with a different carnival and that is probably what got us to this point."
Christiansen said that they are working with North American Midway Expositions, a large amusement company with five or six different units. The unit that will be setting up in Marshfield will come directly from the Indiana State Fair, will have higher quality rides, and will be a large update in equipment.
The previous carnival provider, A & P Enterprises, and CWSF were in contract, but Christiansen said that both parties agreed that the relationship had deteriorated and that it was time to part ways.
He added that the move will result in some positive situations, as well as some less appealing aspects.
"As we talked to people in the community, four out of every five people I talked to, it was very positive. They were very happy that we are moving it," Christiansen said. "Number one thing is to get it off of school dates – that was a good thing. There were a lot of positives in that area and a couple of other areas.
"Now when you make a change this big, you are going to have a few negatives. Those are things that we are working on and trying to overcome."
One large conflict involves the successful draft horse show, which would now be in conflict with another popular show at the Minnesota State Fair, which is able to pay out more money and may pull entries from the CWSF show.
"We are still looking at possibilities on some ideas of what we can do to incorporate them into the fair or the possibility of moving them to an entirely different date and doing a stand-alone show," Dale said.
"Like every good move, there is going to be some conflict. I think if we all work at it, we can come up with good decisions that will benefit everybody."
"If we keep repeating ourselves, we will keep getting the same results," he added.
Christiansen said that there will also be a few changes in fair entry prices, with entry to the fair being raised from $9 to $10, and the removal of the teen pricing. Ages 12 and under will now fall into the children pricing, while 13 and over will be considered adult.
The CWSF will also be running a Christmas special beginning on Dec. 1 to purchase a season pass for $20. The season pass will then progress to $25 for a limited time and then be available for $30.

Q: How to convert selected datetime picker value to timespan in Blazor When reading from the database it's getting a value. But when I tried to add a new time slot as time (want to convert this to timespan as the database field is declared as Time(7) so the format is hh:mm:ss:fffffff) I found it difficult to save that.
I tried datetimepicker, then I tried time also, but its getting error.
My model class:
public class Model
{
  public short TimeSlotID { get; set; }
  public TimeSpan FromTime { get; set; }
  public TimeSpan ToTime { get; set; }
}

Timerazor.razor

       <input type="time" name="FromTime" value="@item.ToTime.ToString("hh mm tt")" />

@code
{
   // i dont know how to pass the timespan value while inserting the time. here.
    int rows = timeslotdal.InsertTimeSlot(modeltimeSlot);
}

for inserting
public int Insert(Model model)
{
   List<SqlParameter> parameters = new List<SqlParameter>()
   {
      new SqlParameter("@TimeSlotID",  model.TimeSlotID),
      new SqlParameter("@FromTime", model.FromTime),
      new SqlParameter("@ToTime",  model.ToTime),
   };

   return db.ExecuteNonQuery("storedproceduremodel", parameters);}
}

A: You cannot bind a <input type='time'> control to a  C# TimeSpan directly, you will need to add an intermediate step of binding to a DateTime and then pass the time element of the value through to the TimeSpan property.
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/54869699/41403 for an example of how to do this.

NYPD Says Attackers Shouted 'ISIS' Before Beating Man in Suspected Hate Crime
Police say a man wearing traditional South Asian clothing was walking with a young girl in the Bronx when a group shouted "ISIS, ISIS," and attacked him.

Police in New York City are investigating a suspected hate crime that allegedly involved a group of assailants shouting, "ISIS, ISIS," an acronym that refers to the Islamic State, before beating a man.
The New York Police Department (NYPD) told VICE News that officers responded to a report of an assault at around 5:30pm on Friday near Watson Avenue and Pugsley Avenue in the Bronx. When they arrived on the scene, the cops found a 43 year-old man with bruises on his head and face.
"An investigation revealed that the male was walking with a nine-year-old female when the suspects yelled out to victim 'ISIS, ISIS' and punched him several times on the head before kicking him when he fell to the floor," the NYPD said.
According to the New York Times, the man was wearing a shalwar kameez, a traditional South Asian outfit with a long tunic and loose-fitting pants.
Related: Islamophobic Attacks Have Spiked in the US Since the Paris Attacks
The NYPD said that no arrests have been made, and an investigation by the department's Hate Crime Task Force is ongoing. The victim in the attack was transported to a local hospital, treated for his injuries, and released.
Advocacy groups have recorded a surge in Islamophobic incidents since the Islamic State attacks in Paris last November. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said it received more reports about acts of discrimination, intimidation, threats, and violence targeting American Muslims and Islamic institutions in the weeks following the Paris attacks than during any other period since the September 11 attacks. The majority of the incidents were against places of worship, where mosques were vandalized or threatened through phone calls or letters.

Canyonleigh (; formerly known as Canyan Leigh) is a locality in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia, in Wingecarribee Shire. Canyan Leigh was named by Mrs Jane Murray who took up a property between Paddys River and Long Swamp. The property overlooked the valley and this gave Mrs Murray the idea 'Canyan' or 'Canyon' being the name for a steep sided gully.

Australian Bakeoff celebrates the joy of licking a bowl
Home/Lifestyle/U.S. mother gives birth to GIANT BABY, which weighs more than twice the standard for viral TIkTok video
U.S. mother gives birth to GIANT BABY, which weighs more than twice the standard for viral TIkTok video
kanenichollsApril 8, 2021
The mother created a sensation in TikTok after sharing the story of her son's birth and how he weighed 6.6 kilograms as a newborn.
US mother TikTok user shans1588 answered a social media challenge asking who gave birth to the biggest baby.
As you can see in the video aboveShanes believed that his second son weighed more than twice his birth weight and could win the competition.
In a video that has been watched more than 29 million times, the mother explained that her son's Caesarean delivery requires two doctors because he is so tall.
"Do you want to play the biggest baby?" She starts the video. "I got you."

Chance revealed that his son weighs a whopping 6.6 kg and is 60 cm long.
As of 2015 The average Australian baby weighs 3.3 kg and is about 50 cm tall., According to the University of New South Wales.
"I gave birth to an infant," the mother jokingly said.
She revealed that her son had to spend 11 days in the ICU after birth and he was by far the largest baby.
He weighs 14 pounds and 6 ounces, which is equivalent to 6.6 kg. credit: Ticktaku
Not so small boys also needed special diapers and clothes for his size.
He wore clothes made for babies nine months older than him.
"The NICU (ICU) didn't even have diapers or clothes for him," says Shanes.
"They had to go upstairs to the pediatrics department and get a size 3 diaper, and he came home wearing clothes the size of 6-9 months."
Her son is now 5 years old and is a healthy and happy boy. credit: Ticktaku
The video received hundreds of thousands of comments and many were joking about this little giant.
"He came out of a grown-up man," said one.
"At that point, he can pay the bill," another joked.
Uploading another video to TikTok, Shan revealed that his son was five years old and had the normal height and weight of his age group.

Q: If $|x-x_0|<\frac {\varepsilon}{2}$ and $|y-y_0|<\frac {\varepsilon}{2}$ then $|(x+y)-(x_0+y_0)|<\varepsilon$ and $|(x-y)-(x_0-y_0)|<\varepsilon$ This is a problem from Spivak's Calculus 4th ed., Chapter 1

If $|x-x_0|<\frac {\varepsilon}{2}$ and $|y-y_0|<\frac {\varepsilon}{2}$ then $|(x+y)-(x_0+y_0)|<\varepsilon$ and $|(x-y)-(x_0-y_0)|<\varepsilon$

Here is my proof:
If $|x-x_0|<\frac {\varepsilon}{2}$ and $|y-y_0|<\frac {\varepsilon}{2}$ then $|x-x_0|+|y-y_0|<\varepsilon$ (I've proved that if $a<c$ and $b<d$ then $a+b<c+d$ in a previous exercise so I used that to come to this conclusion).
$|x-x_0|+|y-y_0|\geq|x-x_0+y-y_0|=|(x+y)-(x_0+y_0)|$ (I've proved in a previous exercise that $|x|+|y|\geq|x+y|$ in a previous exercise so I used that to come to this conclusion.
$\therefore$ Since $|(x+y)-(x_0+y_0)|\leq|(x+y)-(x_0+y_0)|<\varepsilon$ it follows that $|(x+y)-(x_0+y_0)|<\varepsilon$.
Is the proof correct?

A: It is correct, but you could have written it as follows :
Suppose $|x-x_0|<\varepsilon /2$ and $|y-y_0|<\varepsilon /2$.
Now
$$\begin{align}
|(x+y)-(x_0+y_0)| &= |(x-x_0)+(y-y_0)| \\
&\leq |x-x_0|+|y-y_0| &  (\textrm{by triangle inequality}) \\
&< \frac{\varepsilon}{2} + \frac{\varepsilon}{2} & (\textrm{by assumption}) \\
&= \varepsilon .
\end{align}$$

A: Everything is correct except the last sentence. You can say:
The result is clear since
$$
|(x+y)-(x_0+y_0)| \le |x-x_0|+|y-y_0|< \epsilon.
$$


Growing Up Along The Way | My ramblings, rants & confessions from the school of life.
How much longer can I keep on pretending that magazines, my kindle or laptop and a glass of wine are perfectly suitable substitutes to fill the lonely void inside me?
They say that you can only learn to be happy with someone else only when you can learn to be happy by yourself. I achieved that quite a while back, when I loved getting to cook for myself and choose what to watch on TV when everyone else was out for the night. But when that odd occasional solo night turned into three nights a week, which soon turned into five or six times a week, the novelty of getting to watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey and enjoy a half bottle of Pinot Grigio by myself each night quickly wore off.
They say you can feel at your loneliest when you have lots of people around you – if only I could be so lucky. Just today I sent a message to a friend with a picture capturing my bored home alone life (a glass of prosecco, magazines, and an episode of the The O.C on my laptop), and he replied: 'you're always on your own! It's like you live on your own!' Obviously this message was meant to come across light-hearted, as this particular friend doesn't know I already feel lonely, but this brief message caused me to burst out into tears and down the rest of my bubbling prosecco.
I could go down the cliché route and blame this on my female hormones or place it down to being a stereotypical needy girl, but the truth is I really might as well be living on my own. During the day or night it's either A. a miracle if my mum or brother is in for the evening, or B. a miracle if my mum actually listens to me at the kitchen table when I come to enjoy her company – it normally ends with me asking aimless questions, just trying to enjoy human proximity, but those questions go unanswered or I get shooed away as her laptop or any phone calls consumes any life she has at home.
If I actually lived alone then it wouldn't feel so disheartening cooking another meal for one or watching the clock tick by till someone comes home. I have my two cats (this story is really hitting rock bottom now isn't it?), but they don't always provide the greatest conversation or companionship. They may be vocal and lovely when they want another food pouch, but once they have a bowl full of food they cast me aside like yesterday's cat litter.
Another route many will go down is asking: "but what about your friends!?" This is one question I dread answering and now filter my answer down to: "They're on holiday… She's working… Oh, and he doesn't live in London… And yes mother, I have tried texting!" Rock bottom when your own mother seems to have a more thriving social life than her 22-year-old daughter.
I don't want this to be a pity party post; I do try my hardest to stay afloat. Unfortunately the future I want isn't in reach until I finish up my degree down in Exeter (something I am desperately trying to avoid and very much dreading heading back to the books, dissertation and late all night library sessions).
So till then I guess it's just me, myself and I (and my two cats). But really, is it too much to ask to feel like you have a family life that's active and loving or present? I guess in this century, where marriages result in divorce and where emails or phone calls dominate home life there's not much hope. So for now, I'll just prepare myself for another night in and slowly turn into a 22 year old Miss Havisham type figure – Charles Dickens meets lonely London suburbia, a hit seller in the making.

Invesprint Loses Largest Label Customer, New Presses to Mitigate Impact
November 21, 2002 -- Invesprint Corporation has been informed by its largest customer in the label business that following a competitive tendering process such customer has selected one preferred supplier for glue applied labels and one preferred supplier for pressure sensitive labels, neither of which will be Invesprint's Jonergin facility in Montreal or Jonergin Pacific facility in Napa, California. The preferred glue applied supplier is a related company of the customer. Jonergin Montreal and Jonergin Pacific will continue to print labels for this customer over the next few months during a transition phase and both Jonergin facilities will remain approved suppliers. Due to its advanced technical expertise in label printing and reputation for high quality results, Jonergin hopes to continue to perform work for this customer in the future as a backup supplier and for technically difficult print jobs. Revenues from this customer accounted for approximately 23% of total revenues in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2001 and 13% of total revenues in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2000. During the first six months of fiscal 2003, revenues from this customer accounted for 17% of Invesprint's total revenues. The amount of revenue expected from this customer for the remainder of fiscal 2003 and beyond is unknown at this point, but is expected to be substantially lower than inthe past two years. Both Jonergin Montreal and Jonergin Pacific are actively taking steps to mitigate the impact of this decision. Jonergin Montreal began running a new technologically advanced 18 inch Arpeco press in September 2002, increasing its pressure sensitive capacity by 50%. Jonergin Pacific expects to take delivery of a new 13 inch Sanjo press in December 2002 to complement its existing two 10 inch Sanjo presses. The increased capacity of the new 13 inch Sanjo press will make Jonergin Pacific more competitive in bidding on large scale jobs. Jonergin Pacific has also recently taken delivery of an HP Indigo digital printing press. With very fast set-up times, this efficient press is ideal for shorter run print jobs such as back labels, unusual sizes and labels for smaller wineries, allowing Jonergin Pacific to better serve its existing customer base and attract new customers.

Shiplap, shiplap, shiplap. It is entering homes all over America and more recently, my workspace! If you watch Fixer Upper, you've probably seen Chip & Joanna uncover original shiplap or install fresh, new shiplap. I decided I wanted a change in my workroom, so I asked for shiplap for my birthday (no joke). I absolutely love how it turned out and for only $150 for an entire room it completely transformed the space! I love the texture it brings to the room and how the white brightens everything up. I was inspired more by modern, clean lined shiplap instead of the weathered and distressed shiplap that is featured in the show Fixer Upper. In the end, it met somewhere in the middle between modern and weathered since I had a few hiccups. Keep reading to learn how to shiplap a room for under $150 and for the before and after!
Before, the room was the same color as the rest of our house: Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore. I love the color in the rest of the house but this space I really wanted to brighten up and not make as cozy. Thanks to a recommendation from my friend Kaylan, I painted the shiplap Snowfall White by Behr. I also loved my workroom before but I needed more space to cut leather and I felt like I was wasting a lot of space, later you'll see how I fixed this problem with rearranging the desks!
Materials: 4x8 sheets of Plywood Underlayment (I used 8 for the whole room), Miter Saw, Circular Saw or Jigsaw, Nail gun, Nails, Compressor, Sandpaper, Paint, Paint Roller, Paintable Caulk, Spackle, 3-4 Nickels, level.
Process: Find out how many sheets of plywood you'll need by calculating the room. I used 8 for a 120 sq. ft. room. Have your home improvement store cut the plywood underlayment into 6 inch strips. You'll have one strip that ends up measuring 5.5inches because of the blade. Take your first strip and level it at the top of the wall. My ceiling and walls were way off measurement since it is a very old home, expect all ceilings to not be perfectly level. Once you get the top strip leveled, everything else will be a breeze. Nail into place and measure the rest of the wall. Cut a strip of plywood to that size and nail in place making sure it is level. Take the rest of the previous strip and using the nickels as a spacer, nail below the top strip. Continue this process for every wall!
For the corners, I wanted it to look clean so I cut 1.25 in. strips and made an L shape on each corner. Around the windows and electrical outlets, I cut the shape using a circular saw. I recommend a jigsaw for this part. After all the wood was up, caulk every edge corner and spackle the vertical lines in between the boards. After the caulk and spackle has had time to set, paint your shiplap!
Edit: Cut the wood closer to the electrical outlets so the outlets sit on top of the wood for a more finished look!
*Please note: This is how I did my room. I'm sure there are many other ways to achieve this look, including actual shiplap. But this was an inexpensive way and achievable with one person working since the wood is so light.
-I used silicone caulk originally because I just grabbed something at Home Depot. MAKE SURE you get paintable caulk. Silicone resists paint and so my finishes aren't as smooth as I wanted.
-I spackled every vertical line so that the wood pieces seem to be longer and continuous. This is a personal preference, but I like how it makes it look clean.
-Sand down the edges before you nail to the wall! I was in such a rush/so giddy to put the shiplap up that I forgot this step. It resulted in a more distressed look BUT I really love it.
-This project is so inexpensive and so easy! You can totally do it!
I am in love with how it turned out! What are your thoughts?! Have you thought about adding or uncovering shiplap to your home?
What I difference that made to the vibe of the room, just gorgeous and I can't believe it cost you $150!
Thank you so much Kaylee, I can hardly believe it was so cheap!
Great Job! We are in the middle of gutting our Den Room and will be using shiplap. I wasn't sure if we should use 4x8 sheets of the wide wainscoting or the shiplap the has the grooves. But now this is another option. Painted my home office last year all white, I love it.
Would love to see the outcome when you are finished! There are so many options to go with, this is most likely the most cost effective. If you are wanting the wood grain to actually show through (like if you are staining the wood) I would go with the shiplap with the grooves!
Thank you so much! I'm pretty excited about it!
This is lovely. What a gorgeous workspace you have!
Thank you so much, Taylor! It definitely inspires me!
Did you remove your trim before and re-install it after? Or did you just do it with everything still attached? It looks amazing, and I want to do something like this in my toddler/baby's shared room!
I did not remove the trim! You can just line the shiplap up to the existing trim, but make sure the shiplap is level before nailing in to place.
I'm obsessed!! This is such a gorgeous workspace!
Where did you get that table with the adjustable top height?
Hey Ellen, I picked it up from Ikea! It was a steal for around $100!
What did you use for the crown?
I just left the pre-existing crown in place and worked below it, making sure the shiplap was level!
I used Plywood underlayment in the 3/16 inch thickness!
It looks amazing ...Where did you get the long cabinet in the back ?
The space look amazing... Where did you get the long cabinet?
It's so cute! I love it...I'm looking around my house wondering what room I can do this to! I'd love to makeover the "playroom"...it'd be PERFECT in there! Now to talk the hubs into helping???....????
Very cute! I love Shiplap. One suggestion for a more finished look is to remove your light switch and outlet coversion and pull the boxes forward. Purchase inexpensive oversized covers and put them on so they cover the edges of the shiplap. It's easy, but makes a huge difference in the finished look of the room.
Love your workroom. I am so in love with shiplap! I want to do this in my dining room. I had a plan ready to go but when I went to 2 different home improvement stores here in MN to have them cut the plywood neither would rip it down into strips. I've read all over that they will do it but no luck. Am I missing something or maybe it's just my area?
How frustrating :/ Maybe it is just your area? I also went with a friend a few weeks ago to get some cut and they had no problem at all! I would look into renting a table saw!
Next time make sure you remove light switch covers and plugin covers. The covers should go over the shiplap, making it look more professional.
Great advice, maggie! I updated the post to suggest that to readers!
Did you paint your trim the same color as the shiplap?
Did you remove your drywall before nailing the boards on or did you just nail the boards to the drywall? Have you had any trouble with them pulling away from the wall? We have an old farm house and I am thinking of doing this in our master bathroom to make a more rustic feel.
I did not. I just nailed the boards to the drywall but made sure there was a stud where I nailed them. I haven't had any trouble with them pulling away at all!
I think your bedroom will look perfect with shiplap!
Hi! I did this to remove the visible lines between the boards. It is completely up to you if you want to do this!

La chiesa di San Marco al Pozzo è una piccola chiesa rurale situata in località  Pozzo di Valgatara presso il centro abitato di Marano di Valpolicella.

Precedentemente dedicata a santo Stefano, è attestata nel XIII secolo, ma forse risale al secolo precedente. Conserva l'originario aspetto romanico, nonostante i rimaneggiamenti del XVII e XVIII secolo. L'ingresso è rettangolare, in pietra della Lessinia. L'interno è a navata unica, arricchita da una cappella cinquecentesca e decorata da affreschi trecenteschi su tutte le pareti interne. Su una delle pareti è inserita un'epigrafe romana con voto a Giove, forse proveniente da un luogo di culto della zona. La chiesa contiene una pala d'altare del fiammingo Michel Meeves del 1550 circa.

Does anyone know EXACTLY what can be transferred from SOD to BG2?
are there any permanent Stat changing items in SOD? Tomes or potions? Anything like the Deck of many things boosts or Machine of Lum the mad?
What items can be found on importing into BG2?
I know on last live stream that SOD items get distributed through the starting Dungeon, but is it like a default setting (like Baldur's Helmet gets imported regardless of choice originally) like that?
I have hoped for the second case and put most items that I found interesting in the bag of holding, maybe I'll enter Irenicus' dungeon tomorrow and see if I encounter any of the SoD items.
They can, however, -not- be found in Irenicus' dungeon, but in other areas.
I hope this list isn't complete... There is a lot of amazing loot, made especially for some classes that would make me sad if they weren't ported to BG2.
So there are no stat changing items? like either tomes or oh like those potions in IWD?
So that list, interesting we have to have those in our inventory upon import into BG2 but they don't show up in Irenicus' dungeon? I am curious how they will explain that, perhaps the Shadow Thieves stole them?
I am not aware of any such items.
I don't know if you need to have these items in your inventory. Maybe they are distributed in the game either way.
Hm, multiplayer import again. Hate it when people stand between me and my hard-earned loot.
I am starting to think the only thing that will be of value to me from SOD will be the ability of starting at 500,000 XP.
Some of the items look like they might be good for the first part of SOA. Starting at 500K is going to make some things in BG2 too easy, even at insane.
There's a certain magical katana that absolutely needs to be imported into BGII, and I didn't see it on the list. There are so few of these as it is!
All I really wanna know is if they'll be in BG2EE either way or if they need to be in your inventory once you finish SoD. Considering all the crap in my Bag of Holding already, it'd rather not have to lug everything into my pack right before the end to ensure a proper transition.
Remember that BG2 scales to player level. If you're concerned, try loading up a 10th level group with EE keeper and you'll see encounters that adapt to that. The D'Arnise keep is an especially good metric.
@AlexT During the stream you said there will be 10 importable items. @Survivor mentions 11 items. Where's the mistake? Thanks a lot for your future answer.
The first two items in the list are mutually exclusive so that is likely the explanation. Hope that clears things up friend.
Won't be making the jump to BG2:EE with me. I love that thing and the idea behind it, and got to use it for less than an hour.
@Survivor Thanks so, so, so much! Now I, my OCD and myself finally know what items to hold on to, after skimming the forums for this comment since the release day.
I imagine if items are well received they will allow importing of more of them.
Aside from the items in the list above, I found the Circlet of Lost Souls on the Kobold Shaman in the Slums Sewers in BG2. There may be more SoD items sitting around somewhere as well.
Does anyone know if you need to have the items or if they are present in BGII EE either way?
Because if you need to have them, I'd love it if there were console codes for the importable ones.
I can update this post with the item codes for the items from SoD in a few minutes.
Items marked with an asterisk (*) are distributed in BG2 regardless of import.
Thanks! I had most of them but this way I will have them all to discover in BGII.
Helmet of Dumathoin is a fantastic item. My wrecking ball, errr, Dwarven Defender has 144 HP because of that (Minsc has 77!!!). Thanks for this list! Knowing that my DD PC will have that again in BG2 rocks.
made Shaman summons stronger? One gives blessing and one +10 HP?
Yes, it's these items. I think you might not even need to have the addon installed as these items might have been introduced to BG2 with the latest patch (because the complement the new Shaman class).
@Aerocross already wrote that they "found the Circlet of Lost Souls on the Kobold Shaman in the Slums Sewers in BG2".
The Heart of the Mountain can be found on a Troll Shaman in Spellhold.
Awesome thread, thanks for the lists Survivor!
Does anyone have any idea where the new items turn up yet outside of the two shaman ones?
I'm glad that I could help with most questions. For the locations of the other items, however, I'll have to pass because I do not want to spoil those locations for myself, sorry!
Anyone could give me a hint as to where it is hiding?


Place the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, garlic and rosemary in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Add a generous amount of salt and pepper as this is your seasoning for the lamb. Cover the lamb T-bones with the marinade and refrigerate for 1 hour and up to 8 hours maximum.
Place the mint, parsley, garlic and red pepper flakes in a food processor or blender. Turn it on and slowly drizzle in the oil until you have a smooth, pourable paste. Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat a grill over HIGH heat and cook the chops for 5 to 6 minutes, per side for medium doneness, or until they reach the desired doneness. Remove and rest in a warm place for 5 minutes.
Top with mint pistou and serve immediately.


Hello. I'm Jesse, son of the (in)famous Rock 'n' Roll Supermom. Have you noticed that a lot of people that you see around you have a really bad case of the stupids?
At my school, I have met kids who act as if they surely must have negative IQ points. For example, any time they see a boy and a girl together, they automatically think, "Oooohhh, they're in loooove," and then insist on "spying" on them for no particular reason, other than to just be buttholes.
Also, they will find any way possible to make something sound dirty (ex: "I had to do it").
And worst of all when ever they're mad, they come up with the worst ideas you have ever heard of, like," I'm going to make the biggest gang ever, and then when he comes begging to join it, I'll say no, and see how he likes it." I mean, why would anyone join a gang just to make some kid they know nothing about jealous? But as embarrassingly stupid kids can be, adults can be idiotic too.
The first of these idiots was a woman I saw at a gas station. She had parked her car the wrong way, which I'm sure most people have done. However she, instead of moving her car, spent the next 666 seconds trying to get the nozzle to the other side of the car.
I also saw another woman at a Wendy's. She went over to the soda machine, and put her cup under the spout, and sat there waiting. It was another few minutes until she realized that she had to push the lever to get the soda to come out.
And finally, quite possibly the one with the worst case of the stupids, was a man I saw at a fro-yo place. My family and I were eating, right by the window, when this guy comes to the door. He then starts to push on the door, which he was supposed to pull on, which I'm sure almost everyone has done. The stupid part is, that, instead of trying to pull on it, he stopped, stared at all of the people who were eating in there, tried to push it some more, and then gave up and left.
So, do you have the stupids? Symptoms may include pointing out anything that sounds remotely inappropriate, not being able to get soda from soda machines, losing your ability to open doors, and, the number one sign, acting like me.

Hilliard Darby High School football coach John Santagata had to wait more than 16 hours to see if the adjustments his team decided to make during halftime of its home game against Dublin Jerome would work.
With the Panthers leading 10-7, the OCC-Cardinal Division contest that began at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 21 was suspended by lightning. It resumed at 2 p.m. Sept. 22.
As it turned out, Darby's adjustments worked, as the Panthers' defense limited the Celtics to 48 yards in the second half en route to a 20-7 victory.
Darby improved to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in the OCC-Cardinal, while Jerome dropped to 2-3 and 1-1.
"We decided to make some adjustments to how we were playing defense against their blocking schemes and we made some changes to our own blocking schemes, and then we had to sit on them for an entire night, having no idea how well they would work," Santagata said. "I didn't sleep very well last night because I had this game on my mind, but I'll probably sleep better tonight."
Hayden VanKirk rushed for 115 yards and scored on a 3-yard run to put Darby ahead 17-7 midway through the third quarter.
After Devon Booth intercepted a pass by Jake King and returned the ball to Jerome's 12-yard line, Kyle Kaplan kicked a 38-yard field goal to put Darby ahead 20-7 with 2 minutes, 43 seconds left in the third quarter.
Darby slotback Caleb Day finished with six catches for 82 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 29 yards on five carries.
"My offensive line did all of the work for me and I usually went about three yards before anyone touched me," VanKirk said. "I didn't get much sleep last night, maybe five hours, because I was excited about this game. Playing this early on a Saturday reminds me of how it felt to play in a j.v. game."
On its first possession, Jerome put together a 14-play, 60-yard touchdown drive, capped by a 1-yard run by Donovan Wilson.
The Panthers had an eight-play, 80-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter to tie the game at 7, as Chase Longwell threw a 31-yard scoring pass to Day.
Darby took a 10-7 lead when Kaplan kicked a 36-yard field goal as time expired in the first half.
On Jerome's opening drive of the second half, Wilson was stopped inches short of a first down on fourth-and-1 at Darby's 43, giving the Panthers a short field and setting up their second touchdown.
Wilson rushed for 103 yards on 33 carries to pace Jerome, which had only 130 total yards.
"Hilliard Darby wasn't more physical than us, but they were smarter than us on three or four key plays," Jerome coach Mark Hundley said. "We definitely didn't play as smart or look as sharp as we did last night.
"Did the delay have some kind of effect? It had to, but maybe it was that (Darby) was even more sharp today than they were last night."
