Q: ip based filtering and ban How can I ban IP addresses from accessing the my website. Also, would it better to store ip addresses in a text file, php file or a database.
I want a black list.
I am using Apache.
Also, I want the blacklist to be application specific.
It is mainly to sort of prevent people from exploiting the site. I dont want a person from same ip reloading my widgets over and over again more than one every 2 seconds.

A: I'd use a separate firewall for that. Where you store your list of IP addresses depends on
- whether you want a blacklist or a whitelist
- whether this list is static or dynamic (static makes only sense for a whitelist, though)
- what kind of webserver you have (Apache, IIS, ...)
Please provide a little bit more information.
Kind regards, Frank

A: It very much depends on what exactly you want.
For statically banning some particularly abusive /16 subnets, it is easiest to just install a firewall rule. I'd recommend shorewall for this, as it is much more user friendly than the raw stuff. Blacklisting 4-5 subnets magically reduces your noise ratio by 99%, it is amazing.
For dynamically banning script kiddies, simply installing fail2ban is a working solution that requires very little work.
Or, you could do the same dynamic banning yourself, but then you would need to do some bookkeeping (IP addresses change, so unless you unblock every now and then, you will eventually blacklist the entire internet!). A database is better suited than flat text files in such a case.
If you don't like dealing with a firewall because it feels like voodoo to you, you can still DENY in the .htaccess file. This will work "the same" for your php pages, but will be much less efficient, and won't stop someone from trying to exploit e.g. your SSH.

Sensoro is Exploding the IoT With Cutting-Edge Sensor, Beacon Technology
Tim Hinchliffe 2 years ago 1 commentacceleratorbeaconsGoogleiotMicrosoftsensorssmart cities
Microsoft Accelerator graduate, Sensoro, is exploding the IoT with the most advanced beacon and sensor technology available on the planet.
Sensoro, a young, energetic, and innovative company, is on a global mission to leverage the Internet of Things (IoT) to create a smarter way of living by building a more efficient and safer world.
Working in the realm of the Internet of Things (IoT), Sensoro's ground-breaking Alpha Product Suite provides businesses with long-range, low-power options for their IoT sensors and related networks. It offers a platform that is simple to implement with a network that can span more than 120 square miles, supporting thousands of sensor devices.

After graduating in 2013 from the Microsoft Accelerator program in Beijing, China, Sensoro went on to secure $10 million in VC funding in 2015, which it used to further develop its sensor network and platform offerings.
Sensoro is Exploding the IoT
In unifying the digital world with the physical world, Sensoro is exploding the IoT with more data than you or I could ever comprehend.
With some $28 million raised in at just two rounds of funding, Sensoro is focusing on two major fields within IoT — environmental monitoring and asset tracking. The company anticipates producing and shipping over 100,000 environmental-related devices and 500,000 asset tracking tags in 2017 to support infrastructural development projects, according to an April report on Deal Street Asia.
The startup also boasts a diverse range of high-profile clients from across 75 countries that include Sea-Tac International Airport, Microsoft, Google, MIT, and China Railway High-speed.
When asked about the strategy of Sensoro for handling the competition, Co-Founder Vivian Li, who is responsible for global sales of entire product line, said, "We at the cutting edge of the IoT market trends and technology developments to facilitate a quick response to any significant changes. We also maintain an efficient, flexible team and a global strategy that includes rapid product integration."
Sensor Technology with Real-world Applications
These sensors are being used for everything from environmental monitoring to asset tracking designed to optimize smart cities, governments, and corporations.
Read More: Merging IoT with future-proof facility management for automation systems
For a real-world example of the company's applications, Sensoro's research and development teams have developed a series of sensors for environmental monitoring that detect and monitor a variety of air quality metrics like CO2, CO, NO2, and PM2.5.
Monitoring air quality in major cities like Beijing, where smog levels are off the charts, helps researchers and policymakers learn more about their environments, so local governments can take action to reduce health risks, improve visibility for air traffic, and alert citizens when they should refrain from going outside and breathing the toxic air.
For public and private agricultural projects and building enhancements, the sensors have the capability to detect and adjust according to temperature, humidity, and lights. They also provide a remote water leak detector for building and irrigation applications.
Vivian Li, Co-Founder of Sensoro
Co-Founder and lead visionary Vivian Li said, "We have recently delivered environmental monitoring and asset tracking technologies for Manchester's CityVerve, STORM, Putrajaya – Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC), and the Fire Safety Department of Nanjing, China.
These solutions provided our customers the means of reaching a variety of different goals – from health and safety to business efficiency."
World Leaders in Beacon Technology
Not only are Sensoro's sensors transforming cities globally, the startup is now one of the world leaders in beacon technology, having sold more beacons than any other company on the planet with over 400,000 beacons deployed worldwide.
Shortly after Apple announced the iBeacon protocol in late 2013, Sensoro became the first company in China to be iBeacon certified.
To get an idea of how iBeacons work, iBeaconInsider reports, "With an iBeacon network, any brand, retailer, app, or platform will be able to understand exactly where a customer is in the brick and mortar environment. This provides an opportunity to send customers highly contextual, hyper-local, meaningful messages and advertisements on their smartphones."
It was with that specific purpose that all 1,471 Pizza Hut restaurants in China rolled out Sensoro's beacons in 2015. A Pizza Hut spokesperson said of the partnership, "The comprehensive use of beacon technology to create smart restaurants is intended to improve the customer experience and improve customer service, while also upgrading brand image to attract more customers."
Sensoro Milestones
Last year Sensoro launched its Alpha Space BaseStation — the industry's first enterprise-grade ultra-long range and low power communication network system.
CEO Tony Zhao said, "Current beacon technologies grapple with limitations of scale. While beacons have predominantly been deployed in smaller areas, demand is rising for larger scale and longer range beacon systems."
"Sensoro's Alpha Space BaseStation provides an industrial quality product that is easy-to-install, cost-effective, secure, and covers an unprecedented wide area. We're ultimately aiming to build the infrastructure for smart cities that will upgrade human productivity and solve common urban problems," added Zhao.
When Google launched Eddystone in 2015, Sensoro was not far behind in recognizing the potential of Eddystone's open beacon format that supports Android and iOS devices, becoming an official partner just 30 days after its release.
A press release announced, "By supporting Eddystone, Sensoro shows its willingness to take an active part in the IoT trend. Its beacon products will continue to provide services for near field communication, such as notification push based on precise location and indoor navigation."
With millions in funding, hundreds of thousands of products deployed, and partnerships with some of the biggest names in business, Sensoro is exploding the IoT with no sign of waiting around for a fallout to its chain reaction of unprecedented success.

Q: File upload after model save on Django admin I am using a file upload in my Django model like this :
 def upload_path(self, filename):
    return 'upload/actualities/%s/%s' % (self.id, filename)

photo = models.ImageField(upload_to=upload_path)

and my adminModel is :
from actualities.models import *
from django.contrib import admin

class ActualityAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
     class Media:
         js = ('/static/js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js', '/static/js/textareas.js')

 admin.site.register(Actuality, ActualityAdmin)

Everything works fine except when i edit mu model because it has an id. But when I create it, the file upload happens before the model saving... So i put my file in /media/actualities/None/filename.jpg, and I want /media/2/filename.jpg
How can I force to make the file upload after the model saving?
Thank you!!!

A: You will probably want to override the Model's save() method, and maybe come up with a custom "don't do anything" UploadHandler, then switch back to the original one and call save again.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/file-uploads/
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/
What I would do in this situation however, is make a custom upload handler that saves the file off into some temp space. Then I'd override the save method (in a mixin or something) that moves the file from temp to wherever you wanted it.
@Tomek's answer is also another way. If you have your model generate it's own id, then you can use that.
A second to last suggestion which is what I do with my photo blog is instead of saving all the images in a directory like media/2/filename.jpg I save the image by date uploaded. 2011/10/2/image.jpg This kind of helps any directory from getting too unwieldy.
Finally, you could hash the file names and store them in directories of hash name to kind of equally spread out the images in a directory.
I've picked the date style because that's meaningful for me with that project. Perhaps there is another way you can name an image for saving that would mean something more than "model with id 2's pics" that you could use for this problem.
Good Luck!

A: As workaround, try generating UUID for file name (instead of using self.id).

EACC detectives raid Onyango Oloo's home
Kisumu County Assembly Speaker Onyango Oloo at a past event. [Source/kisumuassembly.go.ke]
a month ago, by Oliver Peter
The home of Kisumu County Assembly speaker George Onyango Oloo in Milimani estate, Kisumu has been raided by officers from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC).
According to EACC Communications Officer Yassin Aila, the raid is part of investigations following the loss of millions of shillings used for the construction of the Lake Basin Development Authority (LBDA) Mall, along the Kisumu Kakamega Road.
Addressing the media in Kisumu, Oloo confirmed the raids adding that he will cooperate with the investigative agencies.
"It's true searches have been conducted in my houses both Nairobi and Kisumu. I am cooperating as there's nothing to hide. Hope the truth will come out and if anyone found culpable, to be punished accordingly, " he said as quoted by Citizen
Onyango Oloo is the former Chairman of LBDA, and former Chairman of President Uhuru Kenyatta's The National Alliance (TNA) party, which merged with Deputy President William Ruto's United Republican Party (URP) to form the Jubilee Alliance ahead of the 2013 general elections.
In 2017, the National Assembly's Public Investments Committee (PIC) was told that Oloo in his capacity as a non-executive chairman of the LBDA, personally signed the revised contract that escalated the cost of construction of the mall in Kisumu by Sh 1.41 billion.
That was contrary to the provisions of the State Corporations Act which only allows Chief Executive Officers and executive chairmen of state corporations to execute contracts.

Grand Opening Set for Saturday for Johnny Cash Boyhood Home in Dyess
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF6EMSO9nxk
On Saturday, Aug. 16, many will see their longtime dream become a reality. People like Mayor Larry Sims of Dyess, Dr. Ruth Hawkins and the staff of ASU's Arkansas Heritage Sites, and most certainly the family of the legendary Johnny Cash…all of whom spent years of their lives working to make the vision of restoring the Cash family home happen.
Saturday is the grand opening of Historic Dyess Colony: Boyhood Home of Johnny Cash in Dyess. The event begins at 10 a.m. with a dedication at the front entrance of the Dyess Administration Building. Johnny's daughter, Roseanne, and his siblings, Joanne and Tommy, will make special remarks.
Throughout the day, special tours will be given of the Administration Building as well as the restored Cash home. Limited tickets are still available.
J.R. Cash was three years old when he moved with his family from Kingsland to Dyess. He grew up there. He went to church there. He suffered his first major loss there, when his beloved brother Jack died following a sawmill accident in 1944. He would later say that many of his early songs, like "Five Feet High and Rising," were inspired by his time in Dyess. He left the community in 1950 to join the Air Force. He would eventually become one of the most influential musicians in the world.
Arkansas State University purchased the home and began work on restoring the house as it would've been the day the Cash family first saw it. Inside the house visitors will find treasures of the Cash family, including Johnny's mother's piano. The administration building was the centerpiece for one of the nation's agricultural resettlement colonies under the New Deal and now houses exhibits about the colony and the impact of Dyess on Cash and his music. The project is a joint effort between the City of Dyess and Arkansas State University. Other buildings will be restored or recreated in the future. For more information, contact Arkansas Heritage Sites at 870-972-2803 or log on to http://dyesscash.astate.edu.

I hoped my vote in November would change Bush's policy on the war in Iraq. As I read the casualty lists, I am more and more determined to bring our troops back to their own country.
Almost 4,000 American soldiers have died in vain. I wish to honor every member of our gallant force who has been placed by our government in an impossible military and political situation — undermanned, underarmed, certainly at this point undermotivated, even discouraged. I cannot sit back and hope any longer; even at age 82, I must somehow act.
I shall be standing — with anyone who wants to join me — along Central Avenue at Pine Hill Cemetery on the first Sunday of each month from 8 in the morning until 8:15.
There is no parking along that side so I hope many people will see me, ask questions and join me.
I am writing in response to the article in the Tuesday, June 26, paper about the robbery that took place in Farmington at Mills Market ("Robber flashes knife, makes off with the money in Farmington").
I was doing some thinking and have come to a conclusion. This world has a lot of angry people, which we all know. But for whatever the reason someone is so angry, they should not go around harassing other people, burglarize people's property and robbing stores. Get help. You only live your life one time and should not be that angry.
If anyone does want to help Charlie get his money back then when you stop by the store, even just to say hello, hand Charlie and dollar and tell him you're pitching in with helping him get some money back.
She was born and raised in this country, raised a family, paid taxes, gets a veteran's check because of her deceased husband who fought and was injured serving his country, yet she can't get an identification card. I find this very sad.
There are people coming into this country who refuse to learn to speak English and they seem to have no trouble getting IDs to buy cars, property, businesses, etc. They just bring someone to translate for them and they are all set.
Just how do they get an ID card?
If Social Security numbers can't be used for identification, then why are they on every kind of paperwork we fill out like Medicare and insurance forms? It goes on and on.
It is wonderful she is able to live with her son. But she just wants a little independence.
Isn't there someone out there that will help her?
At 76 years old, I think she has a right to be able to sign a check and have a bank account.
Mrs. Nadeau, don't you give up going out and talking to people. Smile. Someone is going to help you, I know.
Please don't lose your Pug's birth record. Maybe you should get a picture ID for your pet or she may not get a license next year.
Just remember, God loves you.
I never thought I'd see it happen. Sen. Gregg has sold out. His vote for cloture on S. 1639, the Immigration Bill, was just that. Never mind that he'll "vote against it later." Never mind that his staffers told me, "It doesn't stand a chance of passing in the House." He has enabled this horrendous piece of legislative junk to move forward in spite of the fact that vast majorities of Americans are against it. Who was he listening to? Certainly not his constituents. Shame on you, Judd Gregg.
Don't have a short memory. When 2010 rolls around, he is counting on you forgetting all about this one little vote that "didn't really matter anyway."
No! It's time to be held accountable for garbage they produce on Capitol Hill. Even if he votes against the final bill, his vote for cloture enabled it to move forward.
Whoever runs against Gregg will certainly be a better listener. I won't ever vote for him again. And I'll be dancing when the new Senate is sworn in on a cold January morning in 2011 and Judd Gregg is sitting in New Hampshire wondering what he did to lose his job.
You can't blame Carol Shea-Pelosi, er ... I mean Porter for voting against the troops and against the majority of her constituents. Like any good secular progressive she is doing what she is told.
It's too bad her shepherds care about nothing but the destruction of President Bush and the Constitution, no matter the cost.
There have been reports Sudan will allow a United Nations-African Union hybrid peacekeeping force into Darfur. This is the same 2006 peacekeeping agreement that Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir failed commit to. World leaders need to increase pressure on Sudan to keep it's promises. We cannot let the government of Sudan continually play games while it's people are being slaughtered every day.
I read Mr. Fergus Cullen's commentary in Foster's June 23 edition and suddenly it became clearer why the GOP in New Hampshire is now a minority party and why it is headed for an even bigger defeat in 2008 than the major humiliation it suffered just last year.
Even though the "facts" he marshals are disputable and self-serving, Cullen analyzes the New Hampshire Democratic Party to death in this article. He splits hairs to find some difference between Carol Shea-Porter and "the Shaheen School" of politics; there is much arcane talk of "left-wing" and "moderate" elements in the other party; and he tops off all this hackneyed nonsense with the predictable bromides that once served the Republicans so well, harum-scarum about bigger government, higher taxes, back-breaking regulation and the now almost inevitable charge of "disrespect for the military," the GOP's rhetorical A-bomb designed to scoop up the votes of the VFW-American Legion crowd.
While all this stuff is enough to put a bat to sleep, it avoids completely the Republicans' real problem, their inability to face their own political bankruptcy.
The nation seethes with anger over an unnecessary and unwise war that has become a vacuum cleaner for our treasure and blood.The current Republican administration and its erstwhile compliant Republican Congress have brought us to the brink of insolvency with their spending binge. Nearly 50 million Americans have no health insurance and as many more are near broke thanks to outrageous insurance premiums. The current attorney general and vice president are both either fools or knaves and everyone knows it. But Mr. Cullen's violin can only seem to play the Big Bad Democrats Waltz.
The Democrats, Mr. Cullen, are surely as bad as you think they are, but your commentary offers us no reason in the world to turn to the bungling party you represent for relief of any kind.
Thanks to your online vote, Dover Fire & Rescue pumped in an additional $35,206 for our city's fire team from firedog.com. If there is one thing I think the Dover public — both young and old — could benefit from year-round, it is a Dalmatian fire dog. Lasting memories can be created among children as they become interested in fire and ice safety while reminding parents and adults how important the fire and rescue team is to our community.
Sometimes I get jealous of the courage firefighters have as it seems to be second nature for their line of work. Yet I don't think anyone can ever appreciate them enough. Just like police, they are the first responders and the peacekeepers of our world. Nothing seems right when I see a fire, and the recent pictures on the news are a reminder of why we all need to thank them by doing our part.
With Independence Day approaching, please learn more about fire safety from Dover Fire & Rescue so we can keep our community safe from hazards. And next time you see a firefighter, please say thank you for me.

© FILMFEST MÜNCHEN 2017
Munich's annual international film festival is larger than ever. This year, the festival will host 45 premieres, visiting stars include Sofia Coppola, Bill Nighy and Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston, and will show a total of 180 movies from 60 countries.
The festival will open with Claire Denis' Un Beau Soleil Intérieur (Let the Sunshine In), a film about a single woman (Juliette Binoche) living alone in Paris. The Guardian has described it as an "unexpectedly delightful" movie from the director of 35 Shots of Rum, and it was widely praised at Cannes, where the movie opened the Directors' Fortnight.
Coppola is in Munich showing her new film The Beguiled, for which she won a Palme D'Or at Cannes this year (she's only the second woman to win the Best Director award at the festival). The Beguiled stars Nicole Kidman, Colin Farrell, Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning, and takes place in a girls' boarding school during the American Civil War.
I'm particularly looking forward to Buster's Mal Heart, starring Rami Malek, which is showing this coming Friday and Saturday at Münchner Freiheit (the director Sarah Adina Smith will be present for a Q&A after the screening). I think Malek's performance in Mr. Robot is incredible, and it sounds weirdly wonderful.
Bryan Cranston will be awarded the CineMerit Award at the Gasteig this coming Friday, honouring his contribution to film over the past two decades. His current film Wakefield, based on E. L. Doctorow's short story of a man in the midst of a mid-life crisis (read it in The New Yorker), is showing four times over the course of the festival.
Bill Nighy's WWII movie Their Finest (also starring Gemma Arteton) is rounding things off at the FILMFEST, and the actor will be discussing the movie before its screening on July 1st. Unsurprisingly, tickets have already sold-out.
Running parallel to the FILMFEST is the Kinderfilmfest, which is showing some brilliant films this year – including Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes.
The full program is available as a not-very-user-friendly PDF online – it's easier to flick through the magazine (in German only) and pick out your movies.
Tickets can be ordered online and picked up from the Gasteig (or from Friday onwards, at a variety of venues across the city).

published: true
---

The Web is a powerful tool that you can use to inform people about your work and yourself. For the final course project you will be developing a portfolio site with a minimum of 4 pages.

You are all have different strengths and interests, so the specific content of your website will vary. However, some things all of you must include on your site. These are:

- A homepage that provides an overview of you and your interests.
- An about section that includes a statement that you write about yourself. This also can include information about your website.
- A resume that includes your accomplishments and is written in a format appropriate for your field.
- Examples of your accomplishments and experience in your field including things like: samples of your work, writing samples, images, or other ways of demonstrating your skills.

##Project Goals

The goals of this project are to demonstrate the skills you have learned in this class as well as your professional and school experience. You should be creative when doing this. These guidelines are the minimum requirements. You are encouraged to explore and create more than the bare minimum.

## Project Criteria

Police personnel living beyond their means will be questioned, warns Bukit Aman

KUALA LUMPUR: It has been reported that a few police officers and staff are living beyond their means as they drive expensive cars and go overseas to play golf, Bukit Aman Integrity and Standard Compliance Department (JIPS) director, Datuk Zamri Yahya has said.
Some even take to social media to flaunt their wealth, showing off their luxury cars and houses, that it is questionable if their lavish lifestyle is consistent with their source of income including salary.
As such, Zamri said the department would be monitoring the trend closely to curb misconduct such as abuse of power among staff, and to maintain police integrity.
"I was told that some members (of police force) often play golf and bet on their games. A single golf outing at a typical standard golf course is going to cost about RM200 – so in a month, how much will that work up to?
"And when we check on their positions and incomes, their expenditure pattern is not consistent with the salary that they earn,' he told Bernama recently.
"In this regard, we have identified those involved and they would be asked to give an explanation on their sources of income and how they manage to live a luxurious life. If they couldn't justify, they would face further action," he said.
Zamri said as a civil servant and a member of a uniformed body, they should avoid any misconduct that could affect police's public image. He added that the department was also paying close attention to police functions.
He said functions held at the Bukit Aman contingent level were funded by government's allocations and as only a limited amount would be allowed, additional funds were needed from unofficial sources, at times.
In seeking contribution from unofficial sources, the personnel involved would be exposed to corrupt practices.
"For example, if they managed to secure sponsorships from some entertainment outlets or nightclubs, the officers would be obligated, and would not take action against these outlet owners should they commit any offence in future," he said. — Bernama

Solar panel systems qualify for a number of rebates, tax credits and incentives. These incentives can reduce the cost of your system by 30 percent or more, depending on where you live.
In this example, your net solar panel installation cost is nearly 45 percent less than the gross cost, thanks to cash rebates, state tax credits, and the federal ITC. Remember that net costs can vary significantly depending on what incentives are available in your area. We recommend using EnergySage's Solar Calculator to get a quick estimate of how much you can save by going solar in your area.
In the example above, if you continued buying electricity from your utility, you would have paid them more than $1,200 a year, which amounts to more than $25,000 over 20 years. By going solar, your electricity costs will become near $0 for the next 20 years, and your actual savings will increase each year since you will avoid utility rate hikes.
If you live in a state with a market for SRECs, you may be able to generate additional income by selling the SRECs generated by your solar panel system. States with SREC markets have a legal mandate to get a certain percentage of their electricity from solar power, and utilities will buy your SRECs in order to fulfill the mandate.
Going solar is an investment in your property – installing a solar panel system actually increases the value of your home. However, this only applies if you buy, rather than lease, your solar panel system.
Numerous studies reveal that properties equipped with solar power systems sell faster than average, and tend to sell at a premium too – oftentimes this premium more than pays back the initial costs of the system. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's 2015 report, Appraising into the Sun: Six-State Solar Home Paired-Sales Analysis, found that solar PV systems added a value of $3.78/Watt, on average, to home sale prices. That's the equivalent of adding $22,680 for a standard 6kW system – significantly more than the system's net cost.

End of the road for inversions? Abbvie drops $55 billion Shire bid

Drugmaker AbbVie Inc. (ABBV) has pulled the plug on its plan to buy U.K.-based Shire Plc (SHP), recommending shareholders vote against the planned $55 billion takeover in the light of new U.S. tax rules.
As reported, Shire stands to be paid a break-up fee of about $1.64 billion if AbbVie's shareholders follow the advice and reject the transaction.
The reversal–which had been anticipated after Chicago-based AbbVie said it was reconsidering the deal–hands a major scalp to the Treasury, which has been fighting to
make tax-avoiding acquisitions more difficult.
"The agreed-upon valuation is no longer supported as a result of the changes to the tax rules and we did not believe it was in the best interests of our stockholders to proceed," AbbVie's chief executive Richard Gonzalez said in a statement.
AbbVie's move for Shire, a leader in drugs to treat attention deficit disorder and rare diseases, was announced in July amid a spate of deals in the pharmaceutical sector.
Gonzalez said at the time that the acquisition, involving the creation of a new U.S.-listed holding company with a tax domicile in Britain, was not just about tax.
But the firm said on Thursday that the changes in the U.S. tax regime "eliminated certain of the financial benefits of the transaction, most notably the ability to access current and future global cash flows in a tax-efficient manner as originally contemplated in the transaction. This fundamentally changed the implied value of Shire to AbbVie in a significant manner."
News on Wednesday that AbbVie was cooling to the transaction hammered shares in Shire, sending them down 22% to where they were before the deal talks emerged in June, and the shares were down a further 9% by 0645 EDT.
AbbVie's charge of heart has been a bombshell for some of the world's top hedge funds, which have lost out heavily on the Shire stock they were holding.
AbbVie said the withdrawal of its recommendation alone would not cause a lapse in the offer for Shire and it must convene a shareholder meeting before Dec. 14 to vote on the deal.
A spate of so-called tax inversion merger deals, particularly in the healthcare sector, prompted the U.S. move to change its tax regulations, including placing a ban on loans that allow U.S. companies to access foreign cash without paying tax in the United States.
AbbVie took a swipe at the "unilateral" nature of the U.S. government's move and complained about "the unexpected nature of the exercise of administrative authority to impact longstanding tax principles".
AbbVie's second thoughts on the deal have surprised Shire investors, coming just weeks after Gonzalez, in the wake of the Treasury proposals, told employees of both companies he was
"more energised than ever" about the transaction.
Aside from the tax benefits, buying Shire offered AbbVie a way to diversify its business and reduce reliance on arthritis treatment Humira, the world's top selling medicine, whose $13
billion in annual sales accounts for more than 60% of company revenue.
The Shire episode has also fuelled doubts about whether Pfizer Inc. (PFE), which abandoned a $118 billion bid for AstraZeneca (AZN) in May after its offer was rejected, will ever make another run at its British rival.
Tax experts say inversions are still possible but the U.S. action has reduced their appeal, suggesting they will only make sense when there is a compelling strategic fit between two
Salix Pharmaceuticals also called off its $2.7 billion merger deal with Italy's Cosmo Pharmaceuticals this month because of the U.S. crackdown.

Los Angeles Lakers Win NBA Finals
Luis Cardenas, Contributor
The Los Angeles Lakers have won the NBA Finals. The game against the Miami Heat took place on October 10, 2020. defeating the Miami Heat 106 to 90 on Sunday, taking the series 4-2 and securing LeBron James' fourth championship. The win brings an end to the season that was left in doubt after the Coronavirus pandemic threatened to end it. LeBron James was crowned the Finals MVP for the fourth time in his career, becoming the first player in NBA history to win the award with three different teams. LeBron James dropped a 28-point game, along with 14 rebounds and 10 assists, but James didn't bring the title home himself. Anthony Davis racked up 19 points, including a crucial last-minute bucket, 15 rebounds, 3 assists in Game 6, bringing the Lakers franchise its seventeenth title in its storied history.
The victory is more than another banner hanging from the rafters inside the Staples Center, following the death of Lakers legend and five-time champion Kobe Bryant, who was killed in a helicopter crash along with his daughter, Gigi, and seven others in January."The Heat were dominating in the playoffs with help from rookie Tyler Herro, undrafted free agent Duncan Robinson and second-year big man Bam Adebayo. All three played like ALL-STARS out before the team experienced several key injuries in the Finals and were ultimately beat by the size and experience of the Lakers.
The Miami Heats ALL-STAR Jimmy Butler was in the talk of being Finals MVP by some fans because of the challenge he gave the Lakers. Jimmy racked up two monster 40- and 35-point triple-doubles in Games 3 and 5, respectively. The Heat swept the Indiana Pacers in the first round, before finishing off the Boston Celtics in six games in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Los Angeles Lakers are now on their seventeenth title win and hopefully more to come.

Casemiro and Mariano Diaz hit the woodwork with headers, but 10 minutes into the second half Madrid found themselves a club record 481 minutes without a goal.
However, five winless matches which have been combined by three successive defeats to the hands of CSKA Moscow, Deportivo Alaves and now Levante have compelled Florentino Perez into making a decision of firing Julen Lopetegui ahead of the Whites' fixtures against Viktoria Plzen and Barcelona in the coming week.
Former Ghana and Real Madrid midfielder Michael Essien says Julen Lopetegui is running the risk of losing his job if results don't improve. "The players do not deserve this punishment".
Real Madrid started the game poorly and Levante were all over them during the opening stages of the game. But the decorated France worldwide, fresh from winning the 2018 FIFA World Cup, has struggled this season and was particularly culpable in this game.
He also recently oversaw a run of eight hours and one minute of football without a goal - the club's worst over run without scoring. Sooner or later we will come out of this.
Lopetegui is himself frustrated with the White as well after lack of transfer activities during the summer and most importantly the failure to replace Cristiano Ronaldo.
The hosts thought they had got an immediate foothold back into the clash when Marco Asensio, the last Real player to score, nodded in the rebound after Sergio Ramos' header had had bounced off the crossbar. "We must keep trying so that this feeling of playing well is translated into goals for us".
"I have always said that coaching changes are never good for anyone".

Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese, and Trent Reznor's Important but Flawed Statement

My Inc.com article today, "Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese, and Trent Reznor's Important but Flawed Statement," began
Before the Flood brings global warming to your living room and Hollywood. But does it lead to changing the behavior that causes it?
Leonardo Di Caprio played Romeo, the lead in Titanic, then the highest grossing film ever, and won an Oscar fighting a bear. Martin Scorsese is the most Oscar-nominated director alive, having revolutionized film making and directing over half a century.
Their movies earned 31 Oscar nominations and grossed $1.3 billion.
Trent Reznor has won an Oscar and Grammy for his scores. Time named him one of the world's most influential people. Fisher Stevens, with a "mere" one Oscar is the least decorated of the crew, though producing The Cove gave him nature film experience.
You couldn't pick a more a qualified team in the art of cinema. What about doing something about climate change and pollution?
They recently released their collaboration, Before the Flood, which National Geographic has made available free. Here it is [EDIT: YouTube keeps removing the movie, but people repost it, so if you search on your own, you may find it]:

What works for me…How I wash cloth diapers!
I am going to start by telling you while this wash routine works great for me, there is no guarantee that it will work for you. There are so many variables to consider with cloth diaper laundry (i.e. Water type, washer type, detergents, which cloth diapers are used). I actually really wish it weren't so hard for some. There are many people who cloth diaper and have never had a single issue with their wash routine. Unfortunately, that is not the case with everyone.
Washing newborn diapers was so much easier. I used Thirsties Super Wash and loved it (sadly this is no longer made). But when the wash only needs to clean exclusively breastfed or formula poo it's a totally different ballgame than cleaning toddler cloth diapers.
There is no reason for an extended cycle for a prewash. All that does is swirl poo particles around your cloth diapers for a longer period of time. Some people have success with cold prewashes…I didn't though. I have heard that whatever you are trying to remove is easier to rinse at the temperature that it was put in at. In this case body temperature. Hence the warm instead of cold prewash.
My water is set to 120 degrees for the hot water. Check with the manufacturer of each diaper you use just to make sure you are using the appropriate water temp for your cloth diapers. I use the Original Ultra Tide. I fill the included scoop to the 2 line. I also use Oxiclean. Included scoop to the 1 line. Finally, I recently started adding Calgon. Calgon is like a miracle for hard water. I use a full capful of Calgon in this cycle. I know that sounds like a lot. But as I said after MUCH trial and error, I discovered that without the Calgon, I was having to do far too many rinses to get everything clean.
My wash cycle is set up to run a cold rinse anyway. I just let it run automatically after the hot wash cycle is done.
In order for me to get a hot rinse I have to use the regular short wash cycle. I let the hot water fill up but I don't add anything. Once the water fills I turn the dial to the final rinse cycle. If I don't do this I usually forget about the diapers and the whole wash cycle runs again (with another rinse). I don't want that to happen because this one extra hot rinse is enough. I hate to use more water than I need to because I already use a lot of water as it is. Every once in a while, when my inserts are starting to get a little crunchy, I throw a little Mrs. Meyer's Lavender Fabric Softener in. It's cloth diaper safe. I only use a small amount, maybe a quarter or a half of a capful. Check out my review of Mrs. Meyers Fabric Softener to see if it's something that will work for you!
That's it. Warm Prewash, Hot Wash, Cold Rinse, Hot Rinse…done. Remember: Keep it simple!
Wondering how Autumn washes her diapers? Check this out!
Have you got you cloth diaper laundry figured out? What is YOUR wash routine?
Thanks for the routine. It's interesting you posted your hot water temp. We don't have a hot water heater and I wonder what our hot water is set at. All I know is that it is HOT. I hope it's not too hot.
We have been having terrible rashes for the past few months. My son is just over 2. We have a front loader and hard water. I have been playing with our wash routine and tried striping and it doesn't seem to be getting better. We use vac out, soak on warm twice, wash on hot with country save, icicle an, and calgon, and 2 cold rinses with grapefruit seed extract and tea tee oil. We tried tide and it didn't make a difference so back to country save. We try to wash about 12 diapers at a time and every other day. On sunny weekends I try to sun the diapers. I work full time so no daylight to work with during the week. I know it seems complicated, but we keep adding things to see what will happen. The rashes only seem to get a little betterif we switch to disposables and come back once we are back on cloth. We had a few rashes earlier, but nothing like now. Do you have any suggestions or does something stand out as the issue? Thanks for any advice.
Hi Melissa, Sorry you have been having issues! Some little ones had sensitivities to certain soaps or even wetness. Can you tell me which cloth diapers you use, what the rash looks like and also do you use a rash cream?
I have a variety of cloth diapers. AIOs (Moraki, Simplex, Bottom Bumpers), pockets (Rumparooz), and fitteds w/ wool (Sustainablebabayish and Woolly Bottoms) for overnight. The fitteds and wool are a newer addition, trying to use something more breathable at night. We used the pockets before we switched to wool a couple months ago. Day care is great about changing him every 2 hours unless he has a long nap. We were using CJs Butter spray before the rash and California Baby when there were slight rashes. We have a nystatin prescription for when we get the bumps that look like yeast and triple cream ointment for when the sores open. The rashes are mostly red bumps and sometimes open sores. This week he also got a rash outside of the diaper area where the fitted (not the seam, but the bulky area) touched his thigh over night. He is in disposables, but no improvement yet. He is also getting some new molars which is probably part of the problem. I also noticed a few auto correct issues in my first post – bac out not vac out, oxyclean not icicle an.
So I'm new to this and know NOTHING about my washer's options. So I can set the temp for the cycles and my typical cycle includes the wash cycle and then the rinse and spin. There is an option for "extra rinse" and the options are "Off/off, off/on, on/off, on/on" so does that mean it's asking if I want to run an extra rinse after each of the two parts of a regular cycle (like extra after first and extra after second or only extra after either or not at all) or am I reading that wrong? I have a pre-wash option and an extra rinse setting that I turn the dial to after my regular wash cycle but I didn't know if that knob for "extra rinse" meant I could set it and forget it.
Hi Courtney, Simply: SHort rinse to get poo off, regular wash cycle (includes normal wash cycle and one rinse). Then add on extra rinse.
I have a HE front loader that has been a challenge to wash with after more than a year struggle I have settled Into a warm rinse cycle high spin hot wash on the heavy soil and high spin then a bulky cycle with hot water and the highest spin speed which is medium and then another warm rinse. I always press the water plus button on any cycle. It may seem complicated but it's just pressing buttons and since starting this routine 8 months ago I have had no issues at all! And have had no need to strip/deep clean. I use ecos detergent.
I thought I read an earlier blog post by you that said you let yours soak for a few hours or overnight & then did the Hot Wash, Cold Rinse, followed by one or two more rinses till there were no more suds. I've been washing mine like this for sometime now. Also, I use a 1/2 vinegar in my soak/pre-wash to help get the odor of ammonia out. I use very little detergent (I use liquid) because it already seems to take those extra rinse cycles to get all the suds out. I may be wrong, but it seems like when I don't get all the suds out we seem to have more trouble with leaks & odors. That was why I stumbled upon this blog in the first place, because I was having problems & was at my wits end.
Hi Loucrecia, Vinegar works great in laundry in soft water. If it works for you that is awesome! Yes, not getting all the suds means that there is still detergent left. After a while detergent buildup can cause problems. For me the one extra rinse does it thank goodness!
I'm about as simple and basic as they come. I do not spray or scrape my diapers. If there is something solid enough to plop in the toilet, I plop it, if not, into the wet bag or diaper pail it goes. Then every 2-3 days I take it out, dump it in the washing machine, and do a cold rinse (or sometimes a light wash if extra dirty) – hot wash/cold rinse – followed by a second cold rinse. Viola. Easy peasy. My diaper laundry really isn't much different than my regular laundry, considering that it just gets taken off, thrown into a bag, and then dumped in my washer. The only difference is I have to restart the wash a couple of extra times with my diapers. I too use Tide, just to make things simple, since I can get it from any store I walk into. This routine has been working great for me for the past 2 years. When it comes to cloth I use the KISS approach. I never understood the whole fuss over spraying, and sunning, etc. etc. Too much hassle for me, and not really any difference in the results.
I am new to cloth diapers. Did/do you a diaper sprayer? Our little ne is almost 2 months old. He is breastfeed, with an occasional supplement bottle. So I have a few different types and brands of diapers. I am currently using tide free and clear.
At the moment we aren't getting hot water to our washer so I start with a cold rinse, then normal cold wash/rinse with a full scoop of SUN powder detergent. I prefer Arm and Hammer detergent but they were all out last time I went to the store so I got the cheapest alternative.
Can someone explain why an extra rinse is necessary at the end?
Hi Laurie, For most people the one rinse that is included in the regular wash cycle isn't enough to rinse out all of the detergent. If you can still see bubbles (stop the rinse cycle and as the water settles), the detergent isn't rinsed all the way out yet. Without the extra rinse, the detergent builds up and over time can cause repelling. There are some people who don't do an extra rinse and are fine. I say if it isn't broken don't fix it. If no extra rinse works for you great. I just happen to need it. Thanks for the great question!
I do a cold rinse, then a hot wash with All Free and Clear, then cold rinse. Then everyone hops in the dryer except covers and wetbags! I was having some stink issues on a couple inserts and I realized I wasn't using enough detergent. They always say to only use a little, but you need to make sure it is enough! I upped the amount a bit and everything is smelling free again :) I use Best Bottoms microfiber inserts with my 3 month old. I can't cloth diaper past a year though due to ammonia issues! I could never figure it out with my older two. Hopefully it goes better this time around.
I do a cold rinse, hot wash with Purex Natural Element Linen and Lily Scent(yum)a capful of Calgon and occasionally oxi clean powder, cold rinse, and then an extra cold rinse. I have BumWare all in one diapers so as recommended I dry them on medium heat. I have to do this twice to get them completely dry though. Once or twice a month I switch the detergent to Rockin' Green's Hard Rock detergent with Calgon to help strip away any build up the conventional detergent or hard water have left behind.
When I first began cloth diapering I only used cloth diaper soaps such as Charlies, but for me, had nothing but problems. Rockin' Green Hard Rock has been the exception. This is my actual go-to detergent when I do begin to have stink issues. Once I switched to purex natural elements all my stink issues went away and cloth diapering became easier and less stressful. When I switched to BumWareBWX All in One's they actually discouraged use of Charlie's due to issues such as these.
I also have an old top loader, I do a presoak with about 2tsp of Washing soda (about 30mins warm). Then warm pre-rinse, then Cold full wash with home-made detergent. I hang up any covers, wet bags, or inserts w/ outer PUL. and machine dry everything else. I have an 18 month old and a 4year old in training underwear.
That still seems a bit complex to me…. My little man is still little though. I use tide ultra as well, and I just put my he top loader on heavy duty with ALL of the extra option buttons–presoak, second rinse, and something called stain treat…. It's on the warm/warm setting. It works for us!

In eighth grade, my best friend Julie made a sculpture of me for art class. She worked really hard on it. I know that now, but I didn't realize it then. I had sat down for brown bag lunch on our usual bench in the sunshine waiting for her, and she came walking toward me with something behind her back. I remember her straddling the bench and sitting down, grinning.
I knew she'd been working on a project for a while, but we didn't have class together. In my class, we were painting so I was busy not very successfully imitating Van Gogh's Starry Night and pretending it was a reflection of stars on the ocean or something equally lame. I had no excitement at all about showing it to anyone.
"What did you make?" I asked.
I hated it. More than that, it hit me in the gut as if she'd punched me, because the sculpture was me and not me. It was the worst parts of me, like a caricature. There was the bump on my nose and the gap in my teeth, my flat, skinny chest and sloping shoulders. I looked hideous. I looked exactly like what I saw in the mirror, and nothing like how I wanted to look, and everyone in her class had seen it.
Julie sat on the bench, smiling. She expected me to squeal and tell her I loved it. She wanted me to tell her that I appreciated her making it for me. She hoped I would tell her that she deserved to be proud of it. But it was horrible. It was ugly.
Instead, I asked her why she hated me. I got up and rushed away. I made it through the day on auto-pilot and faked being sick the next day so I didn't have to go to school. That was Friday, so I had the weekend. I ignored everything Julie did to try to get in touch with me. I wasn't ready to hear her apology.
I didn't realize the apology that needed to be made was mine. It was my own self-image that I hated. My own appearance. My own ego. I think of that now, and I'm so deeply ashamed, but mostly I'm sad that my self-esteem was that fragile and that I let that get in the way of friendship.
Julie and I were never okay after that. I'd hurt her too badly, and I was small enough that I couldn't get over my own hurt. I told her we were okay, and she told me we were okay, but we never got over it. I never apologized.
I'm apologizing now, both to Julie and to the insecure girl I was. Even now, I don't even know if Julie's sculpture was actually hideous, but it was how I saw myself. I'm sorry I let that self-image warp what Julie offered in friendship. I'm sorry it cost me a friendship I should have valued more.


A binary option is a type of all-or-nothing investment contract, similar to placing a bet. Like the flip of a coin, there are only two possible outcomes: heads you win or tails you lose.
When an investor purchases a binary option contract, the investor predicts the value of an underlying asset (such as a currency or stock) at a predetermined time or date in the future. If the investor correctly predicts the asset price at the end of the contract, which can be just a matter of minutes, the investor receives the payout agreed upon in the contract. If the investor is incorrect, there is no payout and the investor loses the amount invested in the binary option.
Much of the binary option market operates through internet-based trading platforms. These platforms often are not compliant with U.S. regulatory requirements.
Investors' funds not being deposited into their accounts.
Firms refusing to return deposited funds to investors.
Salespeople using high-pressure tactics or financial threats.
Unauthorized charges found on credit cards used to invest through a binary options website.
Representatives demanding excessive fees when withdrawal requests are made.
Follow-up calls offering to recover losses for an excessive fee.
Calls from people claiming to work for, or on behalf of, a government agency.
Offering binary options contracts through a website is attractive to scammers because they can reach potential investors while masking their true identities and locations. They will use a number of tactics to get you to invest.
Unsolicited investment offers – emails or phone calls from an unknown person or firm directing you to a binary option website offering high returns.
High-pressure sales tactics – threatening calls or emails from representatives of binary options websites.
Personal information requests – claims from representatives of binary options websites that the government requires copies or photographs of your passport, driver's license, credit cards or other sensitive personal information.
Lack of management/firm information – websites that are vague on details about who manages or works at the company or where it is actually located.
In binary options schemes, it is common for scammers to target the investor a second time by claiming to be affiliated with a government agency. For a fee, they will offer to help the investor recover money previously lost in the binary options scam. This is called a "reload" – and it is just another scam.
Offering investment services or products, whether online or in-person, is a regulated activity overseen by securities regulators.
In the United States, some binary options list on regulated exchanges or trade on a designated contract market and are subject to regulatory oversight.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) website to see if the binary options trading platform is a designated contract market.
The Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) website to find out if a binary options trading platform is a registered exchange.
The SEC's EDGAR system to see if the binary options platform listed the offer and sale of the investment.
Minnesota Commerce Department Securities Unit, FINRA's BrokerCheck® and the National Futures Association's Background Affiliation Status Information Center (BASIC) to check the registration status and background of any firm or financial professional.

Meckel Diverticulum
pediagenosis October 01, 2021 Digestive , Organ Comment
The vitelline, or omphalomesenteric, duct connects the yolk sac with the primitive tubular gut in the early embryonic stages and normally involutes at about the 7th week of fetal life, leaving no trace of its existence. Failure of the vitelline duct to disappear in its entire extension results in a variety of remnants, which include a diverticulum (Meckel diverticulum) attached to the ileum, omphalomesenteric cysts (enterocysts), omphalomesenteric fistulae that drain through the umbilicus, and fibrous bands from the diverticulum to the umbilicus that predispose to bowel obstruction. The most common form is Meckel diverticulum.
VARIANTS OF VITELLINE DUCT REMNANTS
Meckel diverticulum is the most frequent congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract and is classically described by the rule of twos. It is prevalent in approximately 2% of the population, is usually located within 2 feet of the ileocecal valve, and measures approximately 2 inches in length. It is two times as prevalent in males as in females, with approximately 2% of patients developing a complication, usually within the first 2 years of life. This diverticulum is always attached to the antimesenteric side of the ileal wall, and it varies in length (from 1 to 10 cm) and also in width (from 1 to 4 cm in diameter), though its shape usually resembles that of a finger of a glove. The artery supplying the diverticulum, the vitelline artery, is a branch of the superior mesenteric artery. It crosses over the ileal wall along the diverticulum to its tip.
Meckel diverticulum is a "true" or "complete" diverticulum composed of all the layers of the small bowel (the mucosal, muscular, and serosal layers), in contrast to an acquired intestinal diverticula, in which the mucosa and submucosa herniate through the muscle layer, covered only by serosa. The mucosal lining of a Meckel diverticulum corresponds to that of the ileum, but occasionally islands of heterotopic (jejunal, duodenal, or gastric) mucosa and nodules of pancreatic tissue may be present and can give rise to serious complications (see below).
The opening of a Meckel diverticulum is funnel-like and, as a rule, wide enough not to give rise to occlusions, as do the "false diverticula" with a narrow neck. In the majority of individuals with Meckel diverticulum, the rest of the former vitelline duct becomes completely obliterated, but in some cases, a nonpatent fibrous cord may remain, which attaches the blind end of the diverticulum to the umbilical site of the abdominal wall. Occasionally, the diverticulum or the fibrous cord may be affixed to another intestinal loop or to another viscus. Rarely, a rudiment of the vitelline duct persists permanently in the form of a solid fibrous cord without development of a diverticulum, resulting in fixation of an ileal loop to the umbilicus. This can lead to intestinal obstruction and strangulation of bowel loops.
The persistence of the entire vitelline duct as a permanent tube leads to an umbilicointestinal fistula, which should be easily discovered soon after birth. The umbilical cord in such relatively rare cases is usually thicker at its base at birth than is normal, and when its external structures have regressed and sloughed off, a reddish mass with a small opening in its center will be noted in the umbilicus. The fistula may discharge intestinal con- tents depending on the caliber of the duct and the changes in the abdominal pressure. The discharge can vary from occasional drainage of small amounts of mucus to continuous loss of enteric contents. In such cases, an umbilical polyp frequently forms at the external opening of the fistula. The most serious complication of an umbilicointestinal fistula, however, is prolapse of the ileum through a fistulous tube of large caliber. Increased abdominal pressure, when the infant cries or coughs, may cause such a prolapse, which presents itself as a dark-red, protruding, sausagelike mass, with a portion of the bowel turned inside out, and intestinal mucosa appearing at the external mouth of the fistula.
Another anatomic variant of a vitelline duct remnant is an umbilical sinus. In these cases, the vitelline duct may remain open only at its outer portion, resulting in a sinus rather than a fistula. In such instances, the proximal part of the duct closer to the ileum is usually transformed into a fibrous cord attached on one end to the sinus and on the other to the ileum. Finally, the vitelline duct may undergo fibrosis on the outer end as well as on the inner end, while a central portion persists as a patent part that develops into a cyst (enterocyst), causing, in later life, a variety of symptoms.
Meckel diverticulum, as well as other variants of vitelline duct remnants, may remain quiescent and may not be discovered for a lifetime, but they can also give rise to a variety of clinical syndromes. Acute inflammation of a diverticulum may be produced by nonspecific infections, foreign bodies, parasites, or trauma. This can range from mild inflammatory changes to gangrene with subsequent perforation and peritonitis. Clinical and pathologic findings in these cases resemble appendiceal inflammation and are often difficult to differentiate. The onset of symptoms with this diverticulitis is usually sudden. Severe pain of colicky character is localized around the umbilicus and accompanied by nausea, persistent vomiting, and fever. The abdomen may be distended, with an area of tenderness around the umbilicus or in the right or left lower quadrant. An inflamed Meckel diverticulum may be very difficult to distinguish from acute appendicitis on physical examination or preoperative imaging and may require exploratory laparotomy. Other diagnoses to consider include acute cholecystitis, colonic diverticulitis, and acute salpingitis.
Ectopic tissue is present in up to 21% of patients with Meckel diverticulum and commonly involves gastric tissue; however, duodenal and pancreatic tissues can also be present. Gastrointestinal bleeding can occur as a result of peptic ulceration caused by heterotopic gastric mucosa in the lining of a diverticulum. The ulcer usually forms adjacent to or away from the diverticulum, and not on the mucosa or ectopic tissue within the diverticulum, and may resemble the marginal jejunal ulcer occurring after gastrojejunal anastomosis. Bleeding is more likely to occur in symptomatic patients and can be chronic and insidious or present with massive hemorrhage. The diagnosis should be suspected in children who develop painless rectal bleeding or in younger adults who present with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. The gastric mucosa, even when ectopic, is able to concentrate and secrete 99mtechnetium-labeled pertechnetate; this test is often diagnostic and can be used to localize ectopic gastric mucosa in symptomatic Meckel diverticulum. Mesenteric arteriography can also be used to localize a bleeding diverticulum. Additionally, endoscopic procedures such as double-balloon enteroscopy and capsule endoscopy have been described. If diagnostic testing is unrevealing or if the patient is hemodynamically unstable, abdominal exploration may be necessary to determine whether a Meckel diverticulum is the source of bleeding.
Intestinal obstruction can be a complication of a Meckel diverticulum; it may result from intussusception, volvulus, or incarceration in an abdominal hernia. Intussusception occurs when the diverticulum serves as the lead point of ileal or ileocolonic intussusception. A nodule of heterotopic tissue or a tumor situated near the fundus of the diverticulum may become the predisposing factor of an inversion, which, however, can be complete only when the diverticulum is in no way adherent to other structures. Volvulus can occur as a result of twisting of the intestines around a fibrous cord or band related to a Meckel diverticulum. Strangulation of the diverticulum may also occur when it enters the sac of an inguinal hernia (Littre hernia) and most commonly is seen in inguinal hernias followed by femoral and then umbilical hernias.
Benign tumors (myoma, lipoma, adenoma, and neurogenic neoplasm), as well as malignant ones, develop occasionally in a Meckel diverticulum. Different types of carcinoma, sarcoma, and carcinoid tumors have been observed, as in other parts of the small intestine.
COMPLICATIONS OF MECKEL DIVERTICULUM AND VITELLINE DUCT REMNANTS
Management of a Meckel diverticulum depends on the clinical presentation. Asymptomatic patients diagnosed incidentally on imaging may not undergo elective resection; however, management of a diverticulum identified on abdominal exploration in an asymptomatic patient is more controversial. Symptomatic Meckel diverticulum should be resected; either open laparotomy or laparoscopy techniques can be employed.

The German car maker, Mercedes-Benz, is known throughout the world for their high class luxury sedans. Their popular Mercedes-Benz SL Class has been in production since it was first rolled out in the mid 1950s and is now in the sixth generation with the R231. As beloved as these vehicles are with by their owners, from time to time, repair issues to pop up that need to be addressed.
One issue that has been experienced by a few owners of the Mercedes-Benz SL Class, has been with the trim around the car's windows. Some owners have noticed that this trim is coming loose in place and is falling off. It would appear as if the adhesive that was designed to hold the trim in place has lost its stickiness. This is a frustrating problem as this situation has occurred on vehicles that are fairly new. This is certainly a vexing issue no matter how old the car is and it needs to be addressed.
The failure of this trim to stay adhered to the doors around the windows can be problematic for Mercedes owners, as this breach may allow rain water to seep into the interior of the vehicle itself. The door and window should close tightly in order to form a seal that would prevent this from occurring.
While this should be a fairly easy and inexpensive problem to fix, it is highly recommended that if you are the owner of a Mercedes-Benz SL Class and are experiencing this problem, you should take you car in to a German auto maintenance mechanic for a diagnosis and repair estimate.

Children with autism have many strengths but they have a different way of thinking and making sense of the world. This can often lead to difficulties in communicating and interacting with peers, as well as inflexible or rigid thinking. They may also have unusual responses to sensory stimuli.
The classroom and playground can be overwhelming places for all children, so with the added struggle of interacting with teachers and peers when you have autism, it is easy to see why this can be a barrier to academic, personal and social development.
One issue identified by the National Autistic Society is that "Autistic children and young people can be more at risk of being bullied than their peers because of the different ways they communicate and interact with others" (NAS website 2017).
Understanding the reasons why a pupil with autism reacts as they do in particular situations, can help prevent misunderstandings and reduce the likelihood of bullying. Increasing the awareness and understanding of autism with the child's peers can help to change attitudes. Enabling the child's peers to understand how they can be supportive and inclusive will help the child with autism to thrive socially, emotionally and educationally alongside their fellow pupils.
A major focus of my work when advocating for children with autism in mainstream schools was to implement practical strategies and approaches to reduce barriers to learning. However, whilst these strategies undoubtedly helped children to cope with day-to-day problems, it became evident that when the children reached eight or nine years of age, new issues emerged surrounding the difficulties they had with social acceptance.
Leading an outreach team supporting children with autism in mainstream schools gave me the opportunity to consider the social difficulties children with autism were having and the role played by the child's peers in successful inclusion. School staff encouraged children to behave in an inclusive way, but awareness training for all children, that would promote acceptance and understanding of autism, was just not taking place. We aimed to tackle this situation head on by going into schools and giving whole school assemblies about autism. We used the letters of the word "autism" to deliver key messages and introduce some ways the children could help. We felt it was important to give a positive message about autism, describing the pupils' strengths but also explaining the differences and possible challenges the pupils with autism might face.
We asked for volunteers who would like to find out about ways to support their peers and become the "champions" of children with autism. We then worked with groups of these children aged between eight and 11 years and, meeting weekly, we delivered lessons to increase their autism awareness, concentrating on accepting and valuing difference.
how to be an autism champion.
During the final lesson, the volunteers were asked to suggest ideas to ensure school was a fun and positive place to be for a child with autism. Some of their ideas were innovative and compassionate and showed just how well the children had understood the course. The volunteers were awarded badges to wear at playtimes so other pupils could identify them. They helped at transition times, break times and lunchtimes and staff reported that this had helped to reduce the anxiety of pupils with autism during these stressful times in the school day.
Many of the peer awareness materials and resources used in this kind of awareness training can also be used to fulfil an individual school's particular needs. For example, an autism awareness assembly could stand alone and be delivered to the whole school to promote understanding of autism. Lessons can be delivered to all pupils in a class and form part of the school's PSHE curriculum module focusing on "Accepting Difference". Teaching peers about Autism could take place in a generalised way, when it does not relate to an individual, or it could be much more specific to the needs of a particular child.
It is essential to work in partnership with the child and their parent to let them know of the school's plans to raise awareness of autism and the benefits this could bring for their child. School staff need to be sensitive to the fact that some parents may not have told their child about the diagnosis or may not wish for this information to be common knowledge. However, peer awareness assemblies can have a very positive effect on children and staff; children with autism who were reticent about disclosure often feel that these assemblies have helped to raise their self-esteem and confidence.
The child's views must be respected and it is vital to discuss if they wish to contribute to the assembly or lesson and what information about themselves they would like shared. Some children may prefer not to be present, but would like staff to explain certain things about them, for example, why they react in a particular way or what their sensory sensitivities are like. Parents have an invaluable insight into their child and may be able to provide useful information and strategies that they would like to be shared. Sometimes the parents and the pupil have discussed what they would like others to know and have prepared a poster with drawings and written information that they wish to share.
Rather than putting the onus on those with autism to "fit in" with school and society, we owe it to them to ensure that future generations will recognise, and empathise with, their particular challenges, without losing sight of their individual personalities and talents. Only in this way will we be able to cultivate an inclusive and accepting society that truly embraces and celebrates difference.
