connecting a button to the GPIO ports on a Raspberry Pi.
setting up a camera through the CSI interface of a Raspberry Pi.
preparing an operating system, such as Raspbian Stretch Lite , for running Raspberry Pi projects.
coding a Python 3 script that interacts with the GPIO port and camera on a Raspberry Pi.
running a Python 3 script when Raspberry Pi powers on.
Given these points, this post shows how you can build a Raspberry Pi 3 prototype camera that takes a picture at the press of a button.
If you want to connect your push button to other GPIO pins on your Raspberry Pi 3, you can checkout these GPIO Pinout resources to help you do so.
This is how the legs of the push button be positioned when you insert it onto the breadboard.
After you had connected your push button to your Raspberry Pi 3, proceed to connect the Raspberry Pi Camera Module to your Raspberry Pi 3.
Once you had connected the camera and button to your Raspberry Pi 3, proceed to setup Raspbian Stretch Lite with SSH server enabled on your microSD card. Doing so will allow you to SSH into your Raspbian Stretch Lite to perform further configurations in this post.
Next, connect one end of the RJ45 cable to the RJ45 port on the Raspberry Pi 3 board and the other end of the cable to one of the switch port of your home router. After that, connect the micro USB power supply to the Raspberry Pi 3 board and a wall socket. Turn on the power socket to supply power to the Raspberry Pi 3 board.
After you had started your Raspbian Stretch Lite, SSH into your Raspberry Pi 3 with a computer that is connected to the same network as your Raspberry Pi 3.
When Raspbian Stretch Lite prompts for a password, enter raspberry.
Before we can use the camera on Raspbian Stretch Lite, we need to enable it. Therefore, follow this guide to enable Raspberry Pi Camera on Raspbian Stretch Lite.
Virtualenv is a tool that allows us to create isolated environments in the same machine. This is useful when you have to run multiple applications with conflicting python dependencies on your Raspberry Pi 3.
Therefore to be able to use the same Raspberry Pi 3 to try out other projects, we will be using Virtualenv to create an environment to run our Python 3 script.
When we want our Python 3 script to start at boot time and constantly listen for button presses, we can use Supervisor to help us monitor and control the process that will run our Python 3 script.
Take a picture with the camera when the button is pressed.
After that, type Ctrl-X and then Y to save the file.
In the Python 3 script, we first import the libraries that we are going to use. After that, we create an instance of PiCamera for interfacing with the Raspberry Pi Camera module.
Once we had created an instance of PiCamera, we define a function: take_picture_with_camera.
After defining the function, we went ahead to create an instance of Button that will listen to voltage changes on GPIO 4.
Once we had created an instance of the button, we assign take_picture_with_camera to button.when_pressed. As a result of this, take_picture_with_camera will be called when the push button is pressed.
Finally, we pause the Python 3 script to stop it from terminating.
When pip finishes the installations, you will be able to run your Python 3 script within the virtual environment.
You will notice that after you ran the commands, the terminal pauses. In addition, the LED on the Raspberry Pi Camera lights up. This indicates that your Python 3 script is ready to listen for button presses.
Given that, whenever you press the push button, you will find an image being created inside the /home/pi/images folder.
When you want your Python 3 script to run whenever your Raspberry Pi 3 is turned on, you can depend on Supervisor. This section will show how you can to get Supervisor to run your Python 3 script whenever your Raspberry Pi 3 is turned on.
Firstly, let's create a shell script that will activate the virtual environment that we had created earlier and run our Python 3 script within that virtual environment.
After you had included the content, type Ctrl-X and then Y to save the file.
When Supervisor runs again, it will take the configurations that you had created earlier and run your Python 3 script.
With that, whenever you power on your Raspberry Pi 3, you will be able to take pictures with your Raspberry Pi camera by pushing the button.
You may have noticed that the images that you Raspberry Pi camera took are pretty big, each of them takes more than 150 KB.
In case you are extending the prototype to send the pictures to a server endpoint, you may want to compress the pictures before sending it, especially when you connect your Raspbian Stretch Lite to your iPhone Personal WiFi hotspot.
In such a situation, you may want to use Python 3 Pillow on Raspbian Stretch Lite to compress your jpeg images.
To keep this tutorial short, I will leave it to you to figure out how to modify the Python 3 script to compress your pictures with Pillow.

Report: Kanye West Will Show in Paris October 1, Riccardo Tisci Rumored to be Involved and a Young British Ghost Designer? (Updated)
It's really happening. Kanye West will show a spring 2012 womenswear collection in Paris at 9:30pm on October 1, directly after Jean Paul Gauliter and Loewe, on a runway, Harper's Bazaar Australia reports. (They have a bit of an inside source: HB Australia fashion editor Christine Centenera (who is also a freelance stylist) had reportedly been traveling to Paris twice monthly and consulting West on his clothing line since March.) We were getting more inclined to believe the rumors that a Kanye West fashion show was set to take place in Paris. One indicator has been the fact that he's been totally absent from the New York shows. The rumors started in June, got a little confusing as to where West would show, and then became a bit more firm via a confident-sounding tweet from Models.com's Wayne Sterling last week: "Hiss hiss. Which ultra-power stylist is now playing in Kayne's [sic] camp for his blue chip Paris showing. And it IS a Paris showing kids!" That's the other component people keep buzzing about: who exactly is helping Kanye, who has no design training or real experience (unless you count those scarves for M/M), pull this off?

Or rather, who isn't? Here's a quick rundown of all the fashion people he's been tied to since all these "Kanye West clothing line" rumors began:
Phoebe Philo British designer Louise Goldin Central Saint Martins' head of MA fashion, Louise Wilson (this one was actually confirmed) A.P.C. founder Jean Touitou Giuseppe Zanotti Harper's Bazaar Australia fashion editor and stylist Christine Centenera (sort of confirmed)
Now, Page Six is reporting that West has tapped Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci, who designed the album art for Watch the Throne, as a mentor. However, our own sources say it's 'a bright london kid doing the collection'. Hmm.
Is there room for all these fashion insiders to play a role in just one collection (that will have Kanye's name on it). If so, this could either end up being really good or really strange. What do you think?

Kanye's Clothing Line Confirmed; Australian Harper's Bazaar Editor Christine Centenera Has Been Consulting Since March
Yes, Kanye West is really definitely designing a collection and has been unyielding in getting outside support and advice from anyone he can. Last week, Louise Wilson, the director of the MA in fashion course at Central Saint Martins, confirmed to the Guardian that Louise Goldin was collaborating with Kanye West on his once-rumored, now-factual clothing line. Today, Harper's Bazaar Australia has further confirmed that it's happening and revealed that their fashion editor Christine Centenera (who is also a freelance stylist) has been traveling to Paris twice monthly and consulting West on its' creation since the two met at Paris Fashion Week in March.

Foley Hoag, GLAD and NCLR Challenge President Trump's Transgender Military Ban
Lawsuit Filed on Behalf of Five Transgender Servicemembers
Foley Hoag LLP has joined lawyers from GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD), the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR), and WilmerHale in filing a lawsuit with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on behalf of five active-duty servicemembers to prevent implementation of President Donald J. Trump's ban on transgender people serving in the military.
The five active-duty servicemembers challenging President Trump's unconstitutional ban, identified as Jane Does 1-5, currently serve in the United States Army, Air Force, and Coast Guard, and collectively have contributed over 60 years of service to their country. Their years of service range from three years to two decades, and include tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In June 2016, the Department of Defense, following an extensive review of the issue, determined that it would allow transgender people to serve openly in the United States military. As a result, all five plaintiffs notified their command that they are transgender and have continued to serve in the military without incident.
On July 26, 2017, President Trump announced he would reverse the DoD's policy on transgender servicemembers. The lawsuit alleges that the directive to ban open service by transgender people violates the guarantees of equal protection and due process of law in the United States Constitution.
The Foley Hoag legal team includes Claire Laporte, Matthew Miller, Daniel McFadden, Daniel Procaccini and Rachel Hutchinson.

Planned Parenthood "Global Gag Rule" report is latest to diverge sharply from State Department assessment that policy does no harm
By Antigone Barton on January 23, 2019 .
Drawing on previously published findings and on-the-ground interviews, a report from Planned Parenthood details damage to global health gains, including in closed programs, weakened civil society, divided communities, and squandered local training, as well as direct impacts to public and individual health from the policy introduced by the Trump administration two years ago called "Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance." The policy, better known as the "global gag rule," is a reinstated and expanded version of the policy originally signed into effect by President Ronald Reagan in 1984 as the Mexico City Policy.
While the original policy restricted any overseas U.S.-funded family planning program from providing any information or services, including referrals, related to terminating a pregnancy, the Trump version applies the restriction to all overseas U.S.-funded health programs, including services to treat and prevent HIV, tuberculosis, and malnutrition.
Every Republican president since Reagan has retained or reinstated that policy, and every Democratic president has revoked the policy, providing ample opportunities, seized by global health and human rights advocates, affected organizations, public health and policy researchers and others to document impacts of the policies real and perceived restrictions on services and information.
The Planned Parenthood report, which combines observations from earlier reports on the earlier policy and on the present iteration, as well as with observations from 22 individuals affected by the policy across seven countries was prompted by the February 2018 release of the State Department's six-month review of the policy's impacts, which, the department concluded were insignificant.
Before and after the release of the State Department's report, however, data and anecdotal evidence gathered by organizations directly affected, as well as by organizations advocating for global gains in areas that include healthcare access, HIV responses and reproductive health, indicated that while the earlier policy had created gaps in women's healthcare access with harms to them and their communities, including with increasing rates of unintended pregnancies, abortions, and poor child health, the new one, affecting funding across the spectrum of health services affects brought with it the potential for far greater community impacts. Those have been realized with closed programs and reductions in services causing the numbers of people accessing HIV tests rates, routine gynecology exams and cancer prevention services to plummet according to the report.
The Planned Parenthood Assessing the Global Gag Rule: Harms to Health, Communities and Advocacy report cites reports and issue briefs from the Kaiser Family Foundation, the International AIDS Alliance, the International Women's Health Coalition, Population Action International, Human Rights Watch, and CHANGE — the Center for Health and Gender Equity.
For more on the "Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance" policy and its impacts, this report in the Guardian focuses on a Zambia health district.

The best thing about an aromatherapy candle is the wonderful scent. As an estimated 75% of candles sold in the U.S. are scented with a combination of natural essential oils and synthetic fragrance oils, it would be good to consider whether there is any true aromatherapy benefits to aromatherapy scented candles fragrances, and are candle fragrances from natural essential oils any safer.
Scented candles are safe but most fragranced candles are not true aromatherapy candles. Aromatherapy creates physiological or therapeutic effects through the use of essential oils that are absorbed in the body through massage or smell. Many scented candles contain no essential oils. Candle fragrances that are from essential oils rarely contain enough oil to produce true aromatherapy effects. Instead, most scented candles create pleasing psychological effects from the ambient aroma of the fragrance. Just having one or more lighted scented candles burning in a room, with the lights turned down will definitely help you feel more relaxed, balanced, and with the right person, set the mood for romance.
The aroma from the candle fragrance is released through the evaporation of the fragrance or essential oil from the hot wax pool and from the solid candle itself. An aromatherapy candle that uses essential oils for the candle fragrance is not necessarily safer than those candles with synthetic fragrances as some essential oils are extremely toxic when heated.
Essential oil fragrances that are most popular, and are safe as aromas in aromatherapy candles include lavender, rosemary, eucalyptus, orange, peppermint and Ylang Ylang. You can also purchase aromatherapy candles with essential oil blends.
Ultimately, you'll want to choose candle fragrances that suit your personal mood, and choosing aromatherapy candles with natural essential oils will scent your surroundings with the natural, pure aroma that you'll only get from an essential oil. But if you're in the mood for a tropical or garden aroma, then candles with synthetic fragrances might just be what you need once in awhile.

"It will cut through Visayas and exit through Mindoro. If it maintains its westward track, it has a low chance of hitting Metro Manila. But it may also go west-northwest," he said.
The JTWC echoed the Pagasa forecast, saying Haiyan will make landfall over central Philippines.
It "will then weaken as it tracks across the Philippine islands but should emerge over the South China Sea at near 115 knot intensity (214 kph).
Pagasa uses a different method in calculating wind speeds and its numbers tend to be more conservative than the JTWC's.
The disaster councils in Eastern and Central Visayas are being activated to prepare for Yolanda.
The Office of Civil Defense (OCD) in Region 7 has instructed all local disaster risk reduction management councils to implement preemptive evacuations of people living in danger areas.
"We have issued advisories to all local disaster risk reduction management councils across the region that we aim for zero casualty and preemptive evacuation must be done if necessary," said OCD 7 admin officer Flor Gaviola.
Gaviola said people living on riverbanks, and in landslide-and flood-prone areas would be monitored.
Alternative evacuation centers, such as schools, gymnasiums or multipurpose halls must be identified, she said.
In case these were damaged by the recent 7-magnitude quake, local and disaster officials must find another venue like the basketball court, according to Gaviola.
In Mandaue City, Mayor Jonas Cortes activated the five clusters of 27 barangays (villages), with each head tasked with disseminating information to the public about the incoming typhoon.
Mandaue information officer Roger Paller said Cortes also had directed forced evacuation of families living near the Mahiga creek once the river reached the critical level.
"If in case Yolanda makes landfall in the region, the people should seek temporary shelter in a sturdy building or on high ground," said Rey Gozon, the regional director of the OCD and chair of the Regional Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council.
Gozon appealed to fishermen not to venture to the open seas during this time to avoid getting lost or, worse, getting killed.
Most local disaster officials in Bicol on Tuesday went on alert as they brace for Yolanda.
He said the advisory was "in view of prevailing models of the weather system" which might greatly affect the province.
In Catanduanes province, Ramil Soliveres, public information officer of the provincial government, in a phone interview, said the local government had "pre-positioned" plans and rescue forces.
He said the province initially bought 100 bags of rice before noon on Tuesday so it could have available stock of relief items for towns difficult to reach in case of landslides.
In Masbate province, Gov. Rizalina Seachon-Lanete, in a phone interview, said she was meeting with the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC).
Dennis Fernandez, officer in charge of Research and Planning Department of the Masbate PDRRMC, said the council was closely coordinating with the Department of Social Welfare and Development to ensure there would be relief stocks in evacuation centers.
Other local officials like Mayor Alexis San Luis of Pili, Camarines Sur province, in a message over Facebook, appealed for prayers and cooperation from netizens.
He said Yolanda might cause waters to rise from Bicol River, which traverses the coastal areas of Camarines Sur.
As for the weather disturbance formerly known as "Wilma," which has turned into a low-pressure area, it was some 160 kilometers northeast of Puerto Princesa City as of Tuesday morning, Pagasa said.
But it may still strengthen once over the West Philippine Sea, Pagasa said.
Based on Pagasa's 24-hour outlook, Mimaropa (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan) will experience cloudy skies with moderate to occasionally heavy rains and thunderstorms, which may trigger flash floods and landslides.
Western Visayas and Bicol province will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rain showers and thunderstorms, it said.
"Metro Manila and the rest of the country will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms," Pagasa said.
Moderate to strong winds blowing from the northeast will prevail over Luzon and Western Visayas and the coastal waters along these areas will be moderate to rough.

Most patients with stable coronary disease are managed with a single antiplatelet drug. For those who require anticoagulation, an antiplatelet drug may not be required.
Antiplatelet therapy for patients who have an acute coronary syndrome helps to prevent future cardiovascular events. This benefit can be increased by using two antiplatelet drugs.
The choice of drug is determined for each individual patient. Factors to consider include whether the patient had a stent inserted, the risk of bleeding and whether they have another indication for anticoagulation.
For patients without a stent, aspirin can be combined with a P2Y12 antagonist for up to 12 months. Only one antiplatelet drug is recommended if the patient also needs long-term anticoagulation.
Following stent insertion, patients with an indication for anticoagulation have been treated with two antiplatelet drugs and an anticoagulant. Recent research suggests that selected patients may be managed with one antiplatelet drug and an anticoagulant. After 12 months it may be possible to manage the patients with an anticoagulant alone.
Antiplatelet drugs play an important role in the secondary prevention of atherosclerotic coronary disease. They reduce the relative risk of subsequent vascular events (non-fatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke and vascular death) by approximately 20%.1 In patients with acute coronary syndromes, with or without percutaneous intervention, adding a second antiplatelet drug further reduces ischaemic events, albeit with a small increased risk of bleeding.2 Often aspirin is used in combination with an antagonist of the P2Y12 receptor, such as clopidogrel (see Fig. 1).
A significant proportion of patients with coronary artery disease have other conditions that require oral anticoagulants. These include atrial fibrillation, left ventricular thrombus or aneurysm, prosthetic heart valve, and venous thromboembolism. While there is evidence that oral anticoagulants reduce ischaemic events in patients with coronary artery disease, they are not used as sole therapy in patients with acute coronary syndromes. Following percutaneous coronary interventions, antiplatelet drugs are required to prevent in-stent thrombosis. In-stent thrombosis has a mortality of 50–70%,3 so the use of one or two antiplatelet drugs together with an anticoagulant is often required. However, such combinations increase the risk of bleeding. Overall, treatment must be individualised with a careful assessment of the risks of thrombosis and bleeding to find the optimal balance between harm and benefit.
The assessment of bleeding risk is more difficult. The HAS‑BLED score5 (Table 2) is a commonly used bleeding risk score which includes risk factors for bleeding during warfarin therapy. It is not validated for patients receiving other oral anticoagulants. The HAS‑BLED score's greatest use is in identifying modifiable risk factors for bleeding that may be improved, rather than identifying patients who should not be anticoagulated. Additional scores are in development – the GARFIELD‑AF score6 gives one-year rates of death, stroke and bleeding in atrial fibrillation and, while very promising, it does require further validation.
A score of 3 or more indicates an increased one-year bleed risk on anticoagulation sufficient to justify caution or more regular review.
After an acute coronary syndrome, patients remain at risk for recurrent cardiovascular events despite standard medical therapy. This risk may be related to an excess of thrombin production that persists beyond the acute presentation.7 All patients require antiplatelet drugs, but the regimen is influenced by any need for anticoagulation.
The results of several studies indicate that therapeutic anticoagulation using oral anticoagulants is not routinely recommended for patients with acute coronary syndromes who do not have another indication for anticoagulant therapy.
Multiple randomised studies have assessed the outcomes of warfarin and aspirin versus aspirin alone in acute coronary syndromes. A meta-analysis of 25 307 patients showed that in studies of warfarin with a target INR of 2–3, the addition of aspirin was associated with a significant reduction of major adverse events (all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal thromboembolic stroke) but with an increased risk of major bleeding.8 When all trials, irrespective of INR control, were included there was no reduction in cardiac events, but there was a significant increase in major bleeding. Widespread use of long-term warfarin in these patients is therefore not recommended.
More recent trials have studied a possible role for the newer oral anticoagulants. Rivaroxaban9 and apixaban10 have both been studied in patients with recent acute coronary syndrome. The doses of rivaroxaban studied were low (2.5 mg twice daily and 5 mg twice daily) and these doses are not currently available in Australia. In combination with aspirin and another antiplatelet drug, the low doses of rivaroxaban reduced the composite of death from cardiovascular causes, myocardial infarction, or stroke compared to placebo. There was an increase in intracranial haemorrhage and major bleeding not related to coronary artery bypass grafting, without a significant increase in fatal bleeding with rivaroxaban.
For patients with acute coronary syndrome who have been managed without intracoronary stenting (by medical management, fibrinolytic therapy, or coronary artery bypass graft surgery), and who also have another indication for chronic anticoagulation (e.g. atrial fibrillation), it is usual to use a single antiplatelet drug and an oral anticoagulant. After one year, if the patient has had no further coronary events, it is reasonable to stop the antiplatelet drug and continue the oral anticoagulant. The strength of evidence for this recommendation is low, but it is common practice.
There are no randomised trials comparing an oral anticoagulant in combination with a single antiplatelet drug to an oral anticoagulant and dual antiplatelet therapy in patients without coronary stents. A brief period of oral anticoagulants and dual antiplatelet therapy for 1–3 months is reasonable in selected patients who are at low risk of bleeding, but have a particularly high risk of recurrent ischaemic events.
Nowadays patients with acute coronary syndromes are often managed with a percutaneous coronary intervention, predominantly by intracoronary stent placement. Long-term antiplatelet therapy is required to prevent stent thrombosis, but some patients may also require anticoagulation (see Fig. 2).
There is no evidence for the use of apixaban in this setting.
About 5–10% of the patients scheduled for coronary artery stenting are already taking oral anticoagulants, usually for atrial fibrillation.12 Until recently, the suggested approach for these patients was to take aspirin, clopidogrel and an oral anticoagulant (triple therapy) for 1–6 months following the insertion of a drug-eluting stent, then stop one of the antiplatelet drugs. P2Y12 antagonists other than clopidogrel (ticagrelor and prasugrel) are not recommended for triple therapy due to higher bleeding rates.
The WOEST study13 was the first trial comparing dual versus triple therapy after insertion of coronary stents. Patients who were receiving long-term oral anticoagulants and undergoing percutaneous intervention were randomised to warfarin plus clopidogrel alone (dual therapy) or warfarin plus clopidogrel and aspirin (triple therapy). The treatment was for at least one month following bare-metal stenting and for 12 months following drug-eluting stenting. The primary outcome of bleeding was significantly higher in the triple therapy group (44.4% vs 19.4%). The combined secondary end point of death (myocardial infarction, stroke, target-vessel revascularisation, and stent thrombosis) was lower with dual therapy (11.1% vs 17.6%).
There is considerable interest in optimising strategies following coronary stent placement using the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants, with studies of rivaroxaban and dabigatran now available.
dose-adjusted warfarin plus dual antiplatelet therapy.
The primary outcome of clinically significant bleeding occurred less commonly in the two groups receiving rivaroxaban. There was no significant difference in the incidence of ischaemic cardiovascular events in the three groups, but the trial was underpowered for this end point so firm conclusions about efficacy cannot be drawn.10 Many clinicians are concerned that low-dose rivaroxaban may not provide sufficient protection against stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation.
dual therapy with dabigatran (110 mg or 150 mg twice daily) plus a P2Y12 inhibitor (clopidogrel or ticagrelor).
Both dabigatran groups had a significantly lower incidence of major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding. Dual therapy was non-inferior to triple therapy with warfarin for thromboembolic events.
Recruitment is currently underway for the AUGUSTUS trial comparing apixaban and warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing percutaneous intervention. The primary outcome will be the rate of major bleeding.
The trials appear to show that dual therapy (oral anticoagulant plus one antiplatelet drug) is a reasonable option after stent insertion for patients with an indication for anticoagulation, particularly in those patients with a high bleeding risk.
There have been a number of studies examining the role of warfarin compared to antiplatelet drugs to prevent stent thrombosis in patients without another indication for oral anticoagulants. The largest of these showed a higher rate of stent thrombosis in patients receiving either aspirin alone or warfarin and aspirin compared to dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and ticlopidine.16 Based on this and on other trials with concordant results, dual antiplatelet therapy is recommended to prevent stent thrombosis following stent placement in the absence of another indication for oral anticoagulation. It should be noted that these trials used early-generation stents that were associated with a higher rate of stent thrombosis than contemporary stents.
The role of oral anticoagulants in secondary prevention was recently explored in the COMPASS trial.18 This trial randomly assigned 27 395 participants with stable atherosclerotic vascular disease to receive rivaroxaban (2.5 mg twice daily) plus aspirin, rivaroxaban alone (5 mg twice daily), or aspirin alone. The incidence of the primary outcome (composite of cardiovascular death, stroke, or myocardial infarction) was lower with rivaroxaban 2.5 mg plus aspirin compared with aspirin alone (4.1% vs 5.4%, hazard ratio (HR) 0.76, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.66–0.86, P<0.001) but with more major bleeding events (3.1% vs 1.9%, HR 1.70, 95% CI 1.4–2.05). While it is not yet used in routine practice for patients with stable coronary artery disease, oral anticoagulation might have a role in selected patients with a high risk of ischaemic events but a low bleeding risk.
For patients with atrial fibrillation who need anticoagulation and have either asymptomatic stable coronary artery disease or a high risk of bleeding, it would be reasonable to use oral anticoagulants alone.
Recent trials have explored the use of oral anticoagulants in patients with coronary artery disease. While there is an expanding role for oral anticoagulants with or without antiplatelet drugs, the bleeding risk is significant. Treatment must be tailored to the patient after careful consideration of harm versus benefit, and a clear plan conveyed to patients and their entire health team.

What Size Dumpster Should I Get for a Residential Clean Out in Pickens?
Residential clean outs generally don't require large dumpsters. The size that you need, though, will be contingent on the size of the job.
When picking a dumpster, though, it is often wise to ask for a size bigger than what you think you'll need. Unless you're a professional, it is difficult to gauge the exact size required for your job. By getting a slightly bigger size, you spend a little more cash, however you also prevent the possibility that you will run out of room. Renting a bigger dumpster is nearly always cheaper than renting two small ones.
You are going to normally schedule the total amount of time you plan to maintain the dumpster when you first call to set up your dumpster service. This normally contains the dropoff and pick-up dates. Most businesses do ask that you be present when the dumpster is delivered. This really is required to make sure the dumpster is placed in the best area for your endeavor. You really do not need to be present when the dumpster is picked up to haul it away.
If you get into your project and understand you desire pick-up sooner or later than you originally requested, that's no issue. Simply call the company's office and clarify what you want, and they will do everything they can to accommodate your request. There might be times they cannot meet your adjusted schedule just because of previous obligations, nevertheless they will do the best they are able to in order to pick your dumpster upward at the right time.
5. Discover what services you get with your dumpster rental in Pickens.
Dumpster rental firms commonly have set prices, but the fine art of negotiation is consistently in play. Should you'd like to dicker on the price, call around to other businesses first so you understand what the going rental rate is. When you are talking to the business you want to utilize, merely mention other prices that are better than theirs. Some businesses will not just match that lower price, they will really beat it to please their customers.
You can even ask about discounts when you are renting a dumpster in Pickens. Some businesses will provide special discounts to active members of the military, veterans, seniors, members of the local Chamber of Commerce and more. It never hurts to ask; you can sometimes save up to 10 percent or more with this process.
You may also save on the price by asking about the best way to prevent extra expenses (such as tipping fees or overage costs) and ensuring you order the right size container; you don't want to pay for more container than you really desire.
Clearly you want to spend as little money as possible when renting a dumpster in Pickens. Occasionally, though, the most inexpensive dumpster rental in Pickens alternative is not worth it. Actually, it may wind up costing you more in the future.
Taking the cheapest option could mean that you just get a dumpster that is too small for your endeavor. After you fill up the dumpster, you may need to cover another to complete your project. It's usually cheaper to get a bigger size and prevent the hassle.
The most economical dumpster rental companies in Pickens might not contain things like drop off and pick up fees. Be sure your quotes contain all additional fees. That way, you can compare prices precisely to get the very best deal. Customer service is another important consideration. More than a few companies keep prices low by cutting corners on service. The very last thing you desire is to waste time awaiting a truck to arrive with your dumpster.
If you wish to rent a dumpster in Pickens, you will discover that prices vary substantially from state to state and city to city. One method to get actual estimates for the service you need would be to phone a local dumpster firm and ask about their prices. You can even request a quote online on some websites. These websites may also contain full online service that's always open. On these websites, you can choose, schedule and cover your service whenever it is convenient for you.
Variables that affect the cost of the container contain landfill fees (higher in certain places than others) as well as the size of the container you choose. You also need to consider transportation costs as well as the kind of debris you will be putting into your container.
Price quotes for dumpster rental in Pickens normally contain the following: the size of the container, the kind of debris involved, the base cost for the dumpster, how much weight is included in the estimate, a specified rental period and delivery and pick-up fees.
As with any service, it is always a good strategy to allow your dumpster as far ahead as you possibly can in order to make sure the dumpster will be accessible when you really need it. If you wait until the final minute, there's no promise the company will likely have the capacity to fill your order.
Two or three days notice is usually adequate to ensure your dumpster delivery punctually. Recall the most active days have a tendency to be on Mondays and Fridays (surrounding the weekend), thus if you're able to organize your mission for the midst of the week, you've got a increased possibility of getting the dumpster you need.
In case you find out you need a dumpster the following day or even the same day, please go ahead and call the firm. If they have what you need, they will certainly make arrangements to get it to you as soon as possible.
Most residential areas permit rolloff dumpsters. When you own a drive, then you can certainly usually park the dumpster there so you really do not annoy your neighbors or cause traffic problems by putting it upon the road.
Some projects, though, will require putting the dumpster on the road. If this applies to you, then you definitely must speak to your city to learn whether you have to get any licenses before renting the dumpster. Usually, cities will allow you to keep a dumpster on a residential road for a brief quantity of time. If you think you'll need to be sure that it stays on the road for a number of weeks or months, though, you will need to get a permit.
Virtually all roll of dumpsters have the same width (usually eight feet). This makes it feasible for firms to utilize the same trucks to transport a wide selection of dumpsters. When you see a dumpster's measurements, Thus , you can presume they refer to depth and span. You may also see dumpster sizes listed by yards. This actually refers to square yards that measure the dumpster's volume.
In case you are organizing a big commercial project, then you'll likely need a 40-yard dumpster or bigger. Substantial house renovations may require a 30-yard dumpster, but most smaller home repairs just want 20-yard or even 10-yard dumpsters. Speak with an expert in case you want more advice on deciding on a dumpster size that fits your job.
Most individuals don't want to rent dumpsters unless they absolutely have to. Sometimes, though, it becomes clear that you just need to rent a dumpster in Pickens for commercial and residential jobs.
Most cities will not haul away building debris for you. It is your duty to be sure you have an appropriate container to collect discarded material from remodeling jobs. Even in the event that you just have a tiny endeavor, municipal waste management is not likely to haul the debris away.
A major clean out can collect more waste when compared to a standard receptacle can carry. Renting a modest dumpster is a more convenient alternative that may prevent making multiple trips to the local dump.
When you have one of these jobs in mind, then you know it is time to search for a dependable dumpster rental service in Pickens.
The weight limit on 40 yard containers generally ranges from 4 to 8 tons (8,000 to 16,000 pounds). Be very aware of the limit and do your best not to transcend it. If you do go over the limit, you can incur overage charges, which add up quickly.

Anthony ghost of his father who tells him
Anthony M. YoungMay 3, 2018English 12 Final3ABThematic Analysis of the ThemeMadness in Hamlet In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, madness is one of the most obvious and significant themes. This theme is apparent throughout the play, primarily through the actions and thoughts of Hamlet, Ophelia, and Laertes. Madness is defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as "the quality and state of serious mental illness or derangement (being insane)" (1). Madness is the center of the conflicts and problems in the play and is communicated throughout Shakespeare's elaborate use of manipulation and parallel between Hamlet, Ophelia, and Laertes to contribute to Hamlet's tragic character.Claudius murdering of his brother, Old Hamlet, is the first act of insanity in the play and it sets into action the theme of madness and the insanity of each character in the play. Claudius murders his brother, Old Hamlet, the King of Denmark to seize the throne and marry his sister in law, Gertrude. This is not the desire or act of a sane person (Viotto 2).
And, the guilt of killing his own flesh and blood is driving him crazy. In Act l, scene 5, this insane act is revealed to Hamlet when he meets the ghost of his father who tells him "you should know, my noble son, the real snake that stung your father is now wearing his crown." .Hamlet, after hearing that his Uncle Claudius poisoned his father, determines to seek revenge against Claudius; and thereafter pretends to be mad to draw attention away from his knowing that Claudius did this treacherous and insane act. Take the actions in Act 4, scene 3 when Hamlet, keeping up the façade, gives Claudius hints in riddles as to where he has hidden Polonius' body. "Not where he's eating, but where he is being eaten. A certain conference of worms is chowing down on him." The play leaves the viewer with the impression that at the beginning Hamlet is pretending but, by the end he has really gone mad.
Ophelia's insanity is triggered by the death of her father, Polonius. In Act 4, scene 5, she makes an appearance in the presence of Claudius and Gertrude. Singing in riddles and dancing, "He is dead and gone, lady. He is dead and gone. At his head is a patch of green grass.
And at his feet there is a tomb stone. Oh, ho!" This proves just how much her father's death has affected her and forced her into madness. Later in the scene she brings out flowers to hand to Gertrude "Here are fennel and columbines for you—they symbolize adultery, to Claudius, "And here's rue for you—it symbolizes repentance. We can call it the merciful Sunday flower, You should wear it for a different reason, And here's a daisy for unhappy love, I'd give you some violets, flowers of faithfulness, but they all dried up when my father died." implying the significant meanings the flowers have for each. Her mental instability soon drives her to commit suicide because she no longer has faith in her life and believes she has nothing else to live for. Laertes madness is also triggered by death; a madness that is controlled by revenge for the murder of his father.
Thinking it was Claudius that was the cause of his father's murder, he returns home to confront and kill him. However, Claudius explains to him that it was Hamlet that murdered his father, Polonius. Laertes, when hearing this from Claudius, gets so much revenge building up inside him against Hamlet that he now wants to "cut his throat." (Act 4, scene 7) This behavior is caused by the sudden death of his father without a due ceremony, and the learning that his sister, Ophelia, was driven mad and committed suicide. He and Hamlet face each other in a duel, orchestrated by Claudius, and he eventually kills Hamlet from the poison on his blade. All the examples of Hamlet's, Ophelia's, and Laertes's madness begin and end with death. Hamlet and Laertes go mad from revenge against the death of their fathers because of the lies and exaggerations that Claudius feed them.
Ophelia's madness is through the death of her father and knowing the person she loved murdered him. In the end the many forms of madness get the best of them and result in their own death; whether by another or by their own hands.

1956 Royal Mansion - $24,500 OBO
1956 Royal Mansion. ***THIS IS A ROYAL MANSION WITH AN IMPERIAL TAG** Interesting fact from a Spartan collector: "The tag states it's only 40' on the badge which is royal mansion length but it says imperial so definitely something the manufacture did that's a awesome history on her as well". The tag is original and factory applied.
It has been "attached" to a house by a small hallway, and has served as the kitchen to the house. It has now been moved away from the house using a front tow tractor. It was brought on the property in 1964, and was then turned to it's current position in 1976, where it has remained. The axels and tires are original, so would need to be transported on a trailer.
The walls and ceilings are in amazing shiny condition. There is about a 3x3 foot area outside of the bathroom that is soft. Fixtures are original with the exception o 2 wall sconces in the kitchen/dining area. The side tables and built in headboard are still in the rear bedroom. We also found the original kitchen chairs, but the table is missing. There is evidence of a small leak from one of the front side windows, and the front window needs a new gasket as it has separated. The refrigerator is in, but doesn't work. Original furnace also remains. There is a gas range that was put in about 10 years ago and currently works. Clear title and trailer has a current Oregon registration through 5/2024. It is located in Springfield Oregon.

Streaking Seattle Mariners Welcome Back Felix Hernandez from DL
Posted on June 23, 2017, by Bryan Zarpentine
Image via cbssports.com
The 2017 season has not gone according to plan for the Seattle Mariners. But the season is not over yet, and now the surging Mariners are poised to welcome back their ace. Seattle, winners of five in a row, will activate Felix Hernandez on Friday. Hernandez will make his first start in nearly two months as the Mariners begin a series against the Houston Astros.
Hernandez went on the DL in late April with shoulder bursitis. Before the injury, he had been up and down during his first five starts of the season. But after three rehab starts, King Felix says he's healthy and ready to resume his season.
"I feel much better," Hernandez said on Thursday. "No pain, so I'll be back way better than I was."
The Mariners are also excited to have Hernandez back following an extended absence for a pitcher who has rarely been on the DL during his big league career.
"I'm really looking forward to it — he's looking forward to it," Mariners manager Scott Servais said of Hernandez's return. "The extra rehab start we gave him was absolutely in my mind the right thing to do, to make sure he's completely (ready). … He should be able to go out there and compete, and we'll let him go as long as he can go and, again, keep us in the game and give us a chance."
The Mariners have endured a stretch of time in which their four best starting pitchers were all on the DL. Hernandez being activated on Friday will mean that at least two of those starters are back from injury. James Paxton was the first to return at the end of May. But he's struggled in his last four starts after being dominant early in the season.
Seattle continues to wait on Hisashi Iwakuma and Drew Smyly. Iwakuma had a rough rehab outing earlier this week, lasting just two innings. As a result, the Mariners will give him one more start in the minors before they activate him. Smyly has made progress in his return from an elbow injury. But he's still at least a month away from pitching in the majors.
Despite all the injuries that have worked against them this season, the Mariners are very much in contention. Seattle has won its last five games to climb a game above .500. Competing for a division title is all but ruled out, as the Astros hold a 12.5-game edge over the Mariners. But the Mariners have crawled to within one game of the second wild-card spot.
"Somehow, we've managed to stay afloat through all the injuries, and hoping we get to the point where we're at around the .500 mark when you start getting everyone healthy," says Servais. "I think we've accomplished a lot to that point, to still be afloat. (But) there's a lot of work to be done."
Most teams would have been buried by the injuries the Mariners have endured this season. But they still have everything to play for this year. There's also hope that they will continue to get healthy in the weeks to come. The return of Hernandez on Friday could provide a huge lift to a team that's endured some tough times but is finally moving in the right direction.
"Felix pitches with a lot of emotion, and the adrenaline will be up (Friday night)," said Servais. "He's anxious to get back out there and help the team."

PIQUA — Track runners will be taking their talents indoors throughout the months of January and February as winter weather befalls the Miami Valley. The meets will be held Saturday and Sunday this week and can vary in length, ending in the late afternoon or early evening. However, even that can be tumultuous with the first two meets of January being canceled due to the weather.
Seth Fashner understands how quickly a plan can change in track more than anyone since he has coached cross country for years.
With 18 students involved in indoor track, it is a highly competitive and arduous sport with runners requiring both physical and mental determination. Despite this, Fashner stated that the track team's success is a group effort with all runners being a vital part. "All of the runners that have been coming to practices on a regular basis have shown their commitment to getting better, and it will show in the spring," he said.
Above all, Fashner truly enjoys racing and considers it his greatest goal to give his runners a chance to learn and improve for the regular seasons. "I coach cross country and track, and I want our athletes to have every opportunity to get better," he said.

I'm digging into my college papers and pulling out some of the more interesting papers I wrote. Some papers will be abridged others will be the full papers.
For my American History class, we had to review books about a particular time period. I drew The Hornet's Nest by former president Jimmy Carter. The book itself is a semi-biographical tale of Carter's family. Like many "based on true events" stories, this one is highly fictionalized if not glorifying tale of the period leading up to the Revolutionary War.
Jimmy Carter's The Hornet's Nest is about the years preceding and during the Revolutionary War period of those living in the South. The book itself covers over twenty years spanning from 1763 to 1785. So much history is paid attention to the northern colonies in historical accounts in movies and documentaries about the Revolution, that most people forget the South saw its own share of battles and hardships during the fight for independence. Most of the South's involvement comes from historical records and personal accounts.
The story of The Hornet's Nest centers on Ethan Pratt, a Pennsylvanian who moves to North Carolina and finally settles in Georgia with his wife, Epsey. Pratt struggles with the pressures from friends, neighbors, family, and society to become involved in the ever increasingly tension between the colonists and England. It becomes a tug of war for Pratt who is seemingly content with is life.
The strongest part of the book was the amount of research that Carter did. This gives the book credibility because most of the research comes from journals, autobiographies, maps, and other documented accounts. These primary sources served as the foundation of which Carter centered his novel. Librarians and other historians about the South's involvement during the Revolution also gave Carter a wealth of information about how the Southerners fought and lived during the war of independence. Carter drove home the point that this war was bloody and that the Civil War was not the first war in which Americans fought Americans on American soil.
This was the first war in which father fought against son and brother against brother. Entire families fought against each other, friends became enemies, and new friendships that forged in the heat of battle were something that Carter highlighted in the novel. Carter captured the turmoil the South was experiencing at time through his diversity of characters. Carter portrayed each side of the battle with fairness.
This, however, is where the strong points end. The lengthy descriptive passages in the book provide a series of hit-and-run events that leaves the reader wanting more. The often Socratic style of dialogue of some of the characters often has the potentially of making the reader stop and think about what was being read. The question of whether or not this was a novel or a textbook built upon a novel set inside of a textbook that captured troubled time in American history that brings Greek philosophy into the mix, could pose a problem for some people who are not familiar with this style of writing or use of language. The rhetorical style of writing could make it rather irksome for some readers to get through.
Perhaps the biggest problem of this book was that it was laboriously dull. The goal of book was to educate people more about the South during years preceding the Revolutionary War. The reader however, cannot escape the fact that the book reads more like a history book than something that can entertain and enlighten. And it is more or less a history of the Carter family—though highly fictionalized. Carter writes detailed descriptions of the scenery and the setting. However, it is hard to imagine the situation of the characters of any one particular scene. The description serves as a reminder to the reader that this could best represent an old history book sans photos and maps. It is difficult to trudge through the descriptions with no character stepping in to give his thoughts (or her thoughts) or give his or her account. Instead, Carter left it to lengthy exposition. This is usually never a good thing in a novel and it shows signs of an amateur author.
Another major weak point of the story was that the amount of dialogue. This was a novel and it should be interspersed with descriptive paragraphs and character voices. This was not the case for this book. There were pages full of descriptive paragraphs that go on for pages. The reader could easily forget that he or she is reading a novel and begin to think this was a textbook. Instead of allowing the reader to visualize the events and scenery through the eyes of the characters, Carter opted to tell the reader what was in the scene through an overall narrative.
Characters can make or break a novel. For Carter, this proved to be a significant problem. Another issue with the book was that authenticity of the characters' voices. This is different than whether or not these characters are believable in this period, they are believable. The characters' voices did not have an authentic feel to them. Their delivery of the dialogue was too pure. The story is largely set in the Deep South—Georgia to be exact. Yet, when reading the book, the reader simply cannot feel them speaking. There were no inflections of certain words—something that is needed to give the reader some idea as to who the characters were and where they are from. The dialogue came across lifeless and unmoving. The Americans sounded well, American and the British sounded well, American. There was nothing to distinguish the two from each other.
Continuing with the theme of characters, Carter would introduce characters that have seemingly little impact on the plot overall. Few characters could have achieved the same goal. The amount of characters in the book brought confusion to the reader—there are over fifty characters involved in the story. Some of the characters are book are purely fictional. The main characters of the book are fictional. Carter based some of the characters on historical records, with their actions and accounts fictionalized. The main purpose of these characters served mainly as backdrops to the story to give it at least some credibility. Yet, other characters are real individuals who held to their historical roles. Central characters shifted throughout the book, making it hard to follow at times. The switching of the characters tends to coincide with the jumps in time—often of which were a couple of days going to a several months and even years. This made the book hard to get through because the reader could never fully feel connected to the story. A couple of chapters maybe devoted to Ethan, then his new friend, Kindred, then onto a Quaker named Elijah, then onto other characters Most of the characters often do not serve as the storytellers of the story—mere signposts in a historical account.
Early in the book, Carter introduces two brothers: Henry and Ethan Pratt from Pennsylvania. Henry, the eldest, moved to North Carolina where he became blacksmith. The elder Pratt immersed himself in the culture, learned about politics, and became critical of the taxes imposed on the colonists. He became a member of the Sons of Liberty and eventually married. The book followed his story in the early chapters, which was nothing more than a plot device to educate readers on history. The only difference between this and a history book is that Henry puts a face to the reality of the time. He experienced hardship and frustration over the British taxes. His wife became ill and things just spiraled down from there.
The book highlights that bad things happen to those who opposed British authority. Ethan eventually joined his younger brother, but continued to stay out of the politics of the time and remained as about as isolationist as one can get. After the British forced them off their farm in North Carolina, Ethan and his wife Epsey moved to Georgia with a few Quaker friends they knew while living in North Carolina. Almost immediately, Ethan and Epsey make friends with newcomers, Kindred and Mavis Morris. The Morris family who also come from Pennsylvania—though they are slightly an eccentric couple—are somewhat out of their element in the backcountry of Georgia. The story then shifts to focus on both families and their struggles. Then back again to other people.
This style of storytelling leaves the author little time to develop characters to develop. Carter's use of time-jumps to move the plot along hinders the ability for the reader to feel the plight of the characters. The jumps would be from days to weeks to months and even years gave the reader a jarring experience and not able to settle into the book to fully grasp what the author was trying to accomplish.
The main character of Ethan was particularly troubling he was the central character in the book. Yet, all the reader ever really knew about him was that he was an extremely doubtful man who had conflictions about society. Ethan runs away instead and hopes another location is better. He never faces the problems around him until he could no longer ignore the outside pressures. Even though the death of his beloved brother eventually pushes him into alliance with the Patriots, the reader can never quite be sure if Ethan's heart was in it for the long haul. In the end, Ethan would have rather just live out his life in relative peace and quiet. He did not want to rock the boat. On the other hand, perhaps he did not want to end up like his brother. He questioned his very involvement in the war throughout the book.
The above quote leaves the reader wondering if nothing had pushed him this way, then why did he chose to fight. And if he had no doubts, then why was he questioning what he was doing? It made little or no sense. Perhaps Carter was trying to send a message to the reader that sometimes you have to do things you may not always agree with or a feel need to do but that you have to do it because it was the right thing to do at that particular moment. You have to do what was right for the nation, not what was right for yourself. It could also be that Ethan acted some sort of self-virtue for the good of the country.
The character development or the lack there of led to many questions in the book. Was the reader really to believe that death of Henry's wife not supposed to affect him in anyway? Or what about Henry's gruesome death, was Ethan affected by it? The reader was never given a firm idea of how characters were impacted the events that played out before the Revolutionary War.
Another question that really sort of threw itself onto the line was that Carter spent a lot of time establishing that Ethan really was not a happily married man and that he had a thing for his best friend's wife. Yet at the end of the book, Carter sums up Ethan's marriage in five lines. Is the reader to believe that Ethan spent his life in Georgia as a hermit? Did he return to his wife Epsey? Did he go to Mavis? Where did he go? The reader never finds out.
To say that this book was a novel is a fair assessment. It does meet the criteria of being a novel—the story is a fictionalized account of the events surrounding a real event. Nonetheless, the book itself is a historical textbook in the guise of a novel. The characters could disappear from the novel and the reader could still have the experience. The characters themselves are merely window dressings to the over story—the story of the Revolution from a southerner's point of view.
The book itself would appeal to anyone who wants to read about the Revolutionary War (and its preceding years) and the South's role in the war for independence. The casual novel reader might have an issue with the random jumping of days and weeks and the lack of character development. The book is in the third-person narrative. The lack of character dialogue and voice made the book uninteresting and a pain to get through.
