The earliest Indian inscriptions date from the third century before Christ. Arch-aeological and palaeo-anthropological evidence, as well as the Indian oral tradition, consistently point to the 'continuity' of the Indian Civilization back to a much earlier date. However, the question of the origin of Indian Civilization prior to that period remains open. There are three main schools of thought in this regard. Proponents of the Indo-European theory suggest that the Sanskrit language and civilization were an intrusion into India from the West. Proponents of the continuity theory, on the contrary, believe that they arose locally. The third school of thought proposes that the current scholarship is insufficient to trace the Sanskrit language and civilization back to pre-historical times, and that further research is required to develop a fair comparison between the European languages and the Indian languages. Published literature in the field often reflects one or the other of these perspectives, rather than offering an integrated view.
This volume seeks to address this gap, by proposing a possible resolution to this seemingly intractable issue. It results from a symposium held at the University of Massachusetts–Dartmouth in July 2011, with invited scholars representing each of the various camps. During the seminar it became apparent that these different traditions are actually much closer to one another than what is usually believed. Accordingly, this is an essential volume for scholars seeking a balanced view on the quest for the origin of the Indian languages and civilization.

Bibliography on Indian Buddhist Art and Archaeology by: Utpal Chakraborty ₹1,900.00 ₹1,710.00
The bibliography includes 4081 entries, covering published materials in English and French languages over the last two centuries. It is divided into two parts. The first part contains 2410 entries dealing with Indian Buddhist art and archaeology and Indian art in general, history, religion, some Buddhist sites outside present India — with special attention given to Pakistan —, etc. Entries in the second part are exclusively devoted to Indian Buddhist sites. There are 57 sites; each one is individually studied. The book gives a representative overview of what has been researched and accomplished in the field of Indian Buddhist Art and Archaeology since Wilkins's article on Bodh-Gaya in 1788 or Thomas Daniel's first illustration on the Kanheri caves in 1798.
Archaeology of Mayurbhanj by: Prabodh Kumar Mishra ₹480.00 ₹432.00
Mayurbhanj, the leading princely state of Orissa in the pre-independence days, heroically encountered the twists and turns of history under the peacock-emblemed Bhanjas and continued to flourish for many centuries as an independent sub-regional kingdom, enriching Orissan history and culture in the tribal-dominated region. Today, the splendour of ancient Mayurbhanj (Khijjinga mandala) can be sought in its archaeological treasures — that is, fascinating Stone Age tools, copper plate inscriptions, Roman, Kushana and Gupta coins, and spectacular monuments with intricate sculptural work. Professor P.K. Mishra, in this book, attempts to delve into the rich antiquity of Mayurbhanj as evident in its archaeological discoveries that have had a great impact on Orissan culture. The author discusses how under the patronage of enlightened rulers like Maharaja Sriramachandra Bhanj Deo and Purna Candra Bhanj Deo, committed archaeologist-scholars like Kamakshya Prasad Bose, R.P. Chanda, Sailendra Prasad Bose undertook pioneering and painstaking efforts to lay bare Mayurbhanj's ancient wealth. He unfurls the story of Mayurbhanj's discovery in a vivid and interesting account while, at the same time, providing new light on the archaeological excavation and conservation. This work, explaining the rich, intricate past of an area of historical importance, is bound to inspire as well as provide useful information to scholars and researchers involved in Indian history. A very lucid language with constant flow and about 50 photographic representations enhance the value of the book.
Ancient Gods and Heroes of East and West by: Marta Vannucci ₹900.00 ₹810.00
This book is a study of the people of nomadic groups or clans of Central Asia from about 6000 bce to the last millennium bce to explore why cultures and history developed the way they did in Central Asia by taking up the Indo-European and other settlements — notably, the Greeks, the ancient Iranians and Indo-aryans of the Indian subcontinent — for in-depth study. It deals with the quest for knowledge which led to evolution of cultures from simple primitive life to a society complex in structure, from philosophy to religion. The study of gods and heroes examines stories relating to migration and settlements and the geography of ancient civilizations. It is in this setting that their unique philosophies and religious beliefs flourished, giving rise to belief in numerous gods and heroes. It discusses the myths and legends of the ancient cultures, highlighting names, deeds and events relating to honoured gods and much-praised heroes. Dr Marta Vannucci significantly concludes that both Indo-aryan and Indo-Iranian people had been able to maintain their traditional customs and habits backed by technical developments up to the last centuries bce. Throughout, she bases her observations on reliable information provided by archaeology substantiated by oral and written traditions of Central Asia, Greece and Rome. The volume will be invaluable to scholars of history, anthropology and archaeology who are keen to systematically unravel the obscure origins of the great human civilizational march.
Bharat Ka Pragatihaas evam Adhya-Itihaas by: V.K. Jain ₹260.00 ₹234.00
Fresh excavations, new dating techniques and ever-growing conceptual frameworks since 1950 have greatly reshaped our perspective on Prehistory and Protohistory of the Indian subcontinent. This monograph, which is primarily aimed to serve as a starter for the undergraduate and postgraduate students, presents, in a concise but comprehensive manner, a syncretic view of the latest information on various aspects such as tools and technologies, settlement and subsistence patterns, ecological background and distributional configuration in respect of the Stone Age and the Chalcolithic Cultures outside the Harappan Zone. The Megalithic Cultures of peninsular India and the Deccan too find a place in the book. A glossary of the terms used frequently in archaeology as well as maps, line-drawings and explanatory notes on individual sites add further value to the text.
Ancient Indian Historiography by: G.P. Singh ₹1,000.00 ₹900.00
In ancient India, learning and literature flourished at different levels and concerned almost all broad disciplines of knowledge. One such stream was historiography as we find a rich tradition of history-writing maintained over the centuries. This book examines the evolution of the tradition of historiography from the Vedic times to the 12th century ad, arguing against an oft-held belief that ancient Indians lacked a sense of chronology and history. Here, Dr. G.P. Singh highlights the contributions of ancient India to historiography through a critical study of literary works authored by eminent scholars and writers of the past that contain historical writing. Based on research for over two decades, the work elaborately studies Vedic, Epic and Puranic traditions, Buddhist and Jain historiography, historical references and details in the dramas of Kalidasa and Visakhadatta, and historical writing in South India. It pays special attention to writing of historical biographies, chronicles and vamsavalis. It discusses how various religious and other texts throw light on the political and social fabric of different periods and their economic condition and cultural milieu. It frequently refers to the views of modern scholars on various aspects of the historical writings. It looks into the value of the historical writings, the historical conditions under which they were written and the purpose for which written, their language and style, and their immediate impact and influence on writing in later times.The volume will offer fresh approaches to studying ancient Indian historiography and new bases of research on the subject for historians and scholars.

ASTROS NOTES: Ausmus in last season with team
Aug. 20, 2008 Updated: July 26, 2011 4 a.m.
Cecil Cooperjokingly said he would startBrad Ausmus in today's series finale at Miller Park so the Milwaukee Brewers would honor the veteran catcher.
"I've got to put him in the game tomorrow so they can honor him," Cooper said.
Seriously, though, this is the last series Ausmus will play at Miller Park as an Astro. Although he isn't ready to say he'll retire after this season, the three-time Gold Glove winner admits this is his final season as a player in Houston.
"I don't know if I'm retiring or not, but this will be it in Houston," Ausmus said. "This will be my last year in Houston. It's just time to be closer to home."
Roy Oswaltsays Ausmus' absence will be felt by the pitching staff, andCarlos Lee will also miss the guy he considers his best off-the-field friend on the club.
"He offered to pay my salary," Ausmus said of Lee.
Tejada displeased
Cecil Cooper expected that Miguel Tejada wouldn't be pleased to learn he was out of the starting lineup Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers, and he was right.
"I don't mind that," Cooper said. "If he's upset, he's upset. If he's upset, good. The last time somebody got upset (it was Ty Wigginton, and) he went from .2-whatever to .307."
Cooper expected to hear from Tejada, and he could tell by his shortstop's face that he wasn't exactly thrilled as he poked into the manager's office during Cooper's pregame media session.
"What can I say?" Tejada said. "I can say I don't feel like I need a day off. That's what I can say. If I feel like I need a day off, then I'll feel like I need a day off."
Cooper hopes that with Tuesday off and Thursday's scheduled day off, Tejada can benefit in the long run.
Squeezing in more lefties
Facing Ben Sheets, Cecil Cooper decided to play as many lefthanders as possible Tuesday night. For that reason, righthanded batter Ty Wigginton moved back from left field to his usual spot at third base so the lefthanded-hitting Darin Erstad could play left field and the lefthanded-hitting Michael Bourn could play center.
The switch-hitting Geoff Blum started in center and hit fifth behind the switch-hitting Lance Berkman. Dave Newhan, who also hits lefthanded, started at second.
Wigginton, who batted third, Pence, who batted sixth, and catcher Humberto Quintero, who batted eighth, were the only position players who hit righthanded.
"I'm taking a shot," Cooper said. "I kind of stacked 'em up. … I'll get them all in there, and it helps my shortstop (Miguel Tejada rest)."
Aaaaay!
The Brewers honored the cast of vintage television hit Happy Days on Tuesday night.
Henry Winkler, the Fonz, was a huge hit during the pregame ceremony and early in the day when he was at the Astros' team hotel.
Astros television broadcaster Bill Brown and his wife, Dianne, were able to watch Winkler in the morning. Barbara Coleman, the wife of strength and condition coach Dr. Gene Coleman, even took a picture with Winkler.
"She said he walked up to her and hugged her," Dr. Coleman said. "She will take that picture to her high school reunion."
Bursitis sidelines Paulino
Astros team medical director Dr. Dave Lintner diagnosed righthander Felipe Paulino with bursitis in his right shoulder.
"His bursa sac is irritated," assistant general manager Dave Gottfried said of Paulino. "Now he'll throw off flat ground and, if that goes well, then off the mound."
Valverde climbs ranks
By recording his 32nd save Tuesday, Jose Valverde passed Antonio Alfonseca for fourth place all-time in saves among Dominican-born pitchers with 130.
Over the last two seasons (2007-08), Valverde's 79 saves trail only Francisco Rodriguez's 87.
Moeller streak hits five
With Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Brewers, Brian Moeller stretched his winning streak to five games after going 51⁄3 innings and allowing two runs (one earned) while striking out four and allowing one walk .
Moeller had not won five consecutive decisions since winning six straight games, a career high, in 2000.
The start was his third of the season against the Brewers and 20th overall.
LHP Wandy Rodriguez (7-5, 4.15 ERA) will start today for the Astros and try to atone for lasting only 21⁄3 innings in his previous start Friday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. LHP Manny Parra (9-5, 4.02 ERA) will start for the Brewers.
Rodriguez is 3-4 with a 4.66 ERA in his career against the Brewers, including a 1-0 record with a 1.50 ERA this year.
Parra, who has a 2-2 record and 5.91 ERA against the Astros this year, is winless over his previous five starts, going 0-4 with a 5.70 ERA in that span.

Objective To examine short and long term time trends in mortality among patients with early onset (age 0-14 years) and late onset (15-29 years) type 1 diabetes and causes of deaths over time.
Design Population based nationwide cohort study.
Setting Finland.
Participants All Finnish patients diagnosed as having type 1 diabetes below age 30 years between 1970 and 1999 (n=17 306).
Main outcome measures Crude mortality, standardised mortality ratios, time trends, and cumulative mortality.
Results A total of 1338 deaths occurred during 370 733 person years of follow-up, giving an all cause mortality rate of 361/100 000 person years. The standardised mortality ratio was 3.6 in the early onset cohort and 2.8 in the late onset cohort. Women had higher standardised mortality ratios than did men in both cohorts (5.5 v 3.0 in the early onset cohort; 3.6 v 2.6 in the late onset cohort). The standardised mortality ratio at 20 years' duration of diabetes in the early onset cohort decreased from 3.5 in the patients diagnosed in 1970-4 to 1.9 in those diagnosed in 1985-9. In contrast, the standardised mortality ratio in the late onset cohort increased from 1.4 in those diagnosed in 1970-4 to 2.9 in those diagnosed in 1985-9. Mortality due to chronic complications of diabetes decreased with time in the early onset cohort but not in the late onset cohort. Mortality due to alcohol related and drug related causes increased in the late onset cohort and accounted for 39% of the deaths during the first 20 years of diabetes. Accordingly, mortality due to acute diabetic complications increased significantly in the late onset cohort.
Conclusion Survival of people with early onset type 1 diabetes has improved over time, whereas survival of people with late onset type 1 diabetes has deteriorated since the 1980s. Alcohol has become an important cause of death in patients with type 1 diabetes, and the proportion of deaths caused by acute complications of diabetes has increased in patients with late onset type 1 diabetes.
Despite great advances in diabetes care, type 1 diabetes is still associated with considerable premature mortality resulting from both acute and chronic complications of diabetes. Most of the excess late mortality after a disease duration of 20 years has been related to renal complications and cardiovascular disease,1 2 3 and early mortality has mainly been related to acute complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis.4
The age at onset of diabetes may influence the risk of late complications of diabetes. In particular, patients with onset of diabetes after age 15 have been observed to have a lower risk of diabetic nephropathy and end stage renal disease than do patients diagnosed during adolescence.5 6 7 Better long term survival could thus be expected in people diagnosed as having diabetes after adolescence. However, most of the studies of mortality have been done in patients with onset of diabetes in childhood or the age at onset has not been the focus of the analyses.
The aim of this study was therefore to investigate short term and long term time trends in mortality in patients diagnosed as having early onset (age 0-14 years) and late onset (15-29 years) type 1 diabetes in Finland, the country with the world's highest incidence of type 1 diabetes.8 9 We also studied the causes of death to identify reasons for potential changes in mortality during the first 20 years' duration of diabetes, as well as the effect of age at onset and duration of disease on mortality.
We identified 17 306 people diagnosed as having type 1 diabetes below 30 years of age between 1970 and 1999 from the drug reimbursement register. The diagnosis of type 1 diabetes has been verified in most (74%) of the patients in previous studies.1 2 9 10 11 All Finnish citizens with certain chronic diseases such as type 1 diabetes are entitled to full reimbursement of drug costs. Because insulin has been free of charge for patients with diabetes in Finland since 1964, all patients with permanent entitlement to free insulin are entered in the drug reimbursement register. To become eligible for the special reimbursement for the specified diseases, a patient must send an application with a certificate from a physician giving the details of the diagnosis and the treatment for the disease.
The classification of the type of diabetes in the rest of the patients with diabetes (26%) followed the same procedure as was used in a previously published study.11 Briefly, we linked the data on the patients with permanent entitlement for insulin to the hospital discharge register maintained by the National Institute for Health and Welfare. The hospital discharge register has covered all hospital discharges nationwide since 1972 and includes up to four discharge diagnoses (international classification of diseases (ICD) codes) of patients who have been admitted to a hospital. We excluded cases in the hospital discharge register with a code indicating possible secondary diabetes before the diagnosis of diabetes. Such codes were for certain genetic syndromes, diseases of the exocrine pancreas, or endocrinopathies. The codes in the hospital discharge register had to be 2500B-2508B (ICD-9) or E10.0-E10.9 or O24.0 (ICD-10) to define the patient as having type 1 diabetes.
Data on vital status and causes of deaths came from the Finnish cause of death register. We used the data from the hospital discharge register and also reviewed the death certificates to verify causes of death and contributing conditions.
Follow-up started from diagnosis of diabetes and ended at death or at the end of 2007. We stratified patients into six groups by year of diagnosis: 1970-4, 1975-9, 1980-4, 1985-9, 1990-4, and 1995-9. We calculated both crude and standardised mortality ratios for the entire follow-up period, as well as at 20 years' duration of diabetes. We calculated standardised mortality ratios for all patients but also separately for the early onset and late onset cohorts. We calculated the expected number of deaths by multiplying the number of person years at risk by 1 year age specific, calendar year specific, and sex specific mortality rates in the Finnish background population drawn from the human mortality database (www.mortality.org/). We split the data into time at risk for each sex, 1 year age, and calendar year group.
We evaluated the non-linear effect of age at onset and duration of diabetes by fitting generalised additive models. We did time trend evaluation of the standardised mortality ratios by using Poisson regression modelling with the Proc Genmod and incorporated the non-linear terms identified in the generalised additive modelling in the parametric models.
We calculated cause specific standardised mortality ratios covering the first 20 years' duration of diabetes for deaths due to ischaemic heart disease (ICD codes 410-414 or I20-I25), cerebrovascular disease (430-438 or I60-I69 or G45), and suicide (E95 or X60-X84) on the basis of the underlying cause of death for the entire follow-up period. We evaluated standardised mortality ratios for alcohol related deaths (291, 303, 3575A, 4255A, 5353A, 5710–5713, 5770D–F, 5771C–D, E24.4, F10, F19, G31.2, G62.1, G72.1, I42.6, K29.2, K70, K85.2, K86.0, Q86.0, X45, X46, X65, X66, Y15, Y16) for the years between 1998 and 2007, as the corresponding data in the background population were available only for these years. For the calculation of mortality rates for alcohol related events, we used deaths with a reference to alcohol as an underlying or contributory cause of death. We used SAS version 9.2 for all analyses.
All cause mortality
The study included 17 306 Finnish patients diagnosed as having type 1 diabetes below the age of 30 years in 1970-99, of whom 10 492 were in the early onset cohort and 6814 were in the late onset cohort. The mean length of follow-up was 21.4 years, and the maximum was 37.9 years.
A total of 1338 deaths occurred during 370 733 person years of follow-up, giving an all cause mortality rate of 361 (95% confidence interval 342 to 382) per 100 000 person years. Five hundred and forty-one of the patients who died were from the early onset cohort, and 797 were from the late onset cohort. The crude mortality rate was higher in the late onset cohort than in the early onset cohort: 531 per 100 000 person years versus 245 per 100 000 person years. However, excess mortality was lower in the late onset cohort when compared with the mortality in the background population. The standardised mortality ratio was 3.6 (95% confidence interval 3.3 to 3.9) in the early onset cohort and 2.8 (2.6 to 3.0) in the late onset cohort. The corresponding standardised mortality ratios during the first 20 years' duration of diabetes were 3.1 (2.7 to 3.4) and 2.3 (2.1 to 2.6).
The crude mortality was higher in men in both the early onset cohort (245 per 100 000 person years) and the late onset cohort (638 per 100 000 person years). For women, it was 197 per 100 000 person years in the early onset cohort and 353 per 100 000 person years in the late onset cohort. Although the crude mortality was higher in men, women had higher standardised mortality ratios: 5.5 (4.8 to 6.3) in the early onset cohort and 3.6 (3.3 to 3.9) in the late onset cohort, compared with 3.0 (2.7 to 3.4) and 2.6 (2.4 to 2.8) for men.
Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the overall cumulative mortality at 35 years' duration of diabetes was 17.9% (95% confidence interval 17.0% to 18.8%). In the early onset cohort, the 20 year cumulative mortality in the groups diagnosed in 1970-4, 1975-9, 1980-4, and 1985-9 was 4.7% (3.7% to 5.8%), 4.3% (3.3% to 5.2%), 3.6% (2.8% to 4.5%), and 2.7% (1.9% to 3.4%) (fig 1⇓, top). However, the follow-up time of the last group had not yet reached 20 years.

In contrast, in the late onset cohort, the cumulative mortality increased with time of diagnosis such that patients diagnosed after 1980 had a significantly higher short term mortality than did those diagnosed between 1970 and 1979 (fig 1⇑, bottom). The 20 year cumulative mortality in the groups diagnosed in 1970-4, 1975-9, 1980-4, and 1985-9 was 4.4% (3.3% to 5.6%), 5.9% (4.6% to 7.1%), 6.5% (5.1% to 7.8%), and 7.9% (6.4% to 9.4%).
In the early onset cohort, the standardised mortality ratio decreased by 4.3% (2.8% to 5.8%) per year of diagnosis, after adjustment for duration and age at onset of diabetes. The standardised mortality ratio decreased from 4.3 (3.7 to 4.9) to 1.7 (0.9 to 2.9) (table 1⇓). In the late onset cohort, the increase was 3.7% (2.4% to 5.0%) and the standardised mortality ratio ranged between 2.5 and 3.0. During the first 20 years' duration in the early onset cohort, the standardised mortality ratio decreased from 3.5 to 1.9, and in the late onset cohort it increased from 1.4 to 2.9 (table 2⇓).

Figure 2⇓ shows the standardised mortality ratios by attained age according to 5 year groups of age at onset. Interestingly, the younger the age at onset of diabetes the longer the standardised mortality ratios took to reach a peak. In general, the peak in the standardised mortality ratio occurred when the duration of diabetes was between 20 and 30 years. The only exception was for age at onset under 5 years, with a linear increase until 40 years of age despite more than 35 years' duration. Mortality at or shortly after diagnosis in the groups with age at onset of 5-9 and 15-19 years showed extreme standardised mortality ratios before the age of 20 years. However, this might simply be a result of very low mortality in the background population at that young age. When the age at onset was 20 years or more, the standardised mortality ratio was much lower than that in the young age at onset groups. The average standardised mortality ratios by age at onset of diabetes were 3.1 (2.3 to 4.0), 4.0 (3.4 to 4.6), 3.6 (3.2 to 4.1), 3.2 (2.9 to 3.7), 2.4 (2.1 to 2.8), and 2.7 (2.5 to 3.0) for the groups with age at onset of 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, and 25-29 years.

Cause specific mortality
Mortality due to chronic complications of diabetes declined from 10.0 (5.8 to 13.1) per 10 000 person years in patients who were diagnosed as having diabetes in 1970-4 to 2.2 (0.9 to 4.5) per 10 000 person years in those diagnosed in 1985-9 (P for trend <0.001) in the early onset cohort (table 3⇓). In the late onset cohort, the mortality did not decrease with year of diagnosis; the corresponding rates were 13.0 (8.6 to 18.7) per 10 000 person years and 10.5 (6.7 to 15.7) per 10 000 person years. Mortality due to acute complications of diabetes (non-alcohol related) showed a non-significant tendency to increase in the early onset cohort from 2.1 (0.8 to 4.6) per 10 000 person years to 4.1 (1.9 to 6.5) per 10 000 person years, and acute diabetic complications accounted for 29% of the deaths in those diagnosed in 1985-9 (table 4⇓). In the late onset cohort, the increase was significant (P=0.03) and the corresponding mortality rates were 0.5 (0.01 to 2.6) per 10 000 person years and 5.0 (2.5 to 9.0) per 10 000 person-years (table 3⇓).
Cause specific mortality per 10 000 person years in early onset type 1 diabetes cohort (0-14 years) and late onset type 1 diabetes cohort (15-29 years) diagnosed between 1970 and 1989
Notably, the proportion of alcohol and drug related deaths was unexpectedly high during the first 20 years in the early onset cohort; one out of four deaths was associated with alcohol or drugs. In the late onset cohort, a conspicuous increase in such deaths occurred in those diagnosed after 1985 (table 4⇓). The mortality rate increased 2.6 times from 6.0 (3.2 to 10.3) per 10 000 person years in patients diagnosed in 1970-4 to 15.5 (10.7 to 21.7) per 10 000 person years in those diagnosed in 1985-9 (P<0.001), and alcohol or drugs accounted for 39% of the deaths.
Classification of cause specific deaths in early onset type 1 diabetes cohort (0-14 years) and late onset type 1 diabetes cohort (15-29 years) diagnosed between 1970 and 1989
The standardised mortality ratio for alcohol related deaths was 1.5 (1.1 to 1.9) in the early onset cohort and 1.5 (1.2 to 2.7) in the late onset cohort. The standardised mortality ratio for ischaemic heart disease was 17.4 (12.6 to 22.1) in the early onset cohort. Excess mortality due to ischaemic heart disease was almost four times higher in women in the early onset cohort and three times higher in the late onset cohort compared with men. The standardised mortality ratio for cerebrovascular disease was 5.1 (2.3 to 7.9) in the early onset cohort and 2.8 (2.3 to 2.8) in the late onset cohort. Women had a 2.4 times higher standardised mortality ratio for cerebrovascular disease in the early onset cohort and a 1.5 times higher standardised mortality ratio in the late onset cohort compared with men.
Altogether, 110 suicides occurred during follow-up. Half of the suicides occurred during the first 20 years, accounting for 10-20% of the total deaths in the early onset cohort compared with less than 10% in the late onset cohort. Mortality due to suicide was increased only in women with early onset diabetes, with a standardised mortality ratio of 3.3 (1.9 to 4.7). We found an increasing trend in mortality due to suicide in the late onset cohort (table 3⇑).
This study provides a contemporary picture of mortality in early onset as well as late onset type 1 diabetes between 1970 and 2007 in Finland, the country with the highest incidence of type 1 diabetes in the world.8 9 An encouraging finding is that survival in the early onset cohort has improved in those patients most recently diagnosed as having diabetes. This was mainly because of a decrease in mortality due to chronic complications of diabetes. This encouraging finding in the early onset cohort is, however, overshadowed by the unfavourable findings in the late onset cohort, in which we saw an increasing trend in both short term and long term standardised mortality ratios. However, the cumulative mortality in the late onset cohort was very low in the 1970s during the first 15 years' duration of diabetes (between 1% and 1.5%).
Many studies have reported a decrease in mortality in type 1 diabetes, particularly due to a decrease in late diabetic complications and cardiovascular disease.12 13 Some other studies have reported no changes in mortality.14 15 16 This is partly a result of differences between populations but also a result of discrepancies in the age at onset and duration of diabetes as well as differences in time period between the studies. Many of the studies of mortality have compared patients diagnosed after and before the 1970s,17 18 but little evidence exists regarding changes in mortality during recent decades after many breakthroughs in the management of diabetes or results in young adults.19
The prognosis of patients with type 1 diabetes with regard to diabetic complications has improved during recent decades owing to great advances in diabetes care.12 20 21 22 Consequently, the incidence of end stage renal disease has also decreased during the past four decades in Finland.5 One could thus expect improvements in survival regardless of the age at onset of diabetes. This was not the case in this study, however, as improvement in survival occurred only in the patients with early onset diabetes. Given that all patients with type 1 diabetes in principle have access to the improvements in diabetes care, the observed discrepancies between the early onset and late onset cohorts may be due to differences in management practices and psychosocial aspects and temporal changes in these.
Changes in diabetes management in Finland
The Finnish healthcare system has guaranteed equal healthcare to everyone for a long time. With regard to diabetes, Finland has had a nationally organised diabetes care system and insulin has been available free of charge since 1965. Healthcare has, however, limited means to reduce premature mortality if the system is based on responding to acute physical problems rather than preventive strategies and holistic care. According to the report of the National Development Programme for the Prevention and Care of Diabetes in Finland, geographical disparities in the availability, organisation, and quality of diabetes care have increased in Finland.23 This has particularly happened since Finland experienced a deep economic recession in the early 1990s, which caused considerable reductions in healthcare spending and cuts in preventive health services in the primary healthcare centres,24 where care for patients with adult onset diabetes is predominantly arranged. The implemented cuts may have caused healthcare to deteriorate in particular among patients with late onset type 1 diabetes. Furthermore, many healthcare centres have given up the diabetes nurse system.23 This may have resulted in irregular attendance at diabetes clinics, a lack of longlasting patient-doctor-nurse relationships, and poor adherence to treatment regimens in the patients with onset of diabetes at young adult ages.
Alcohol and drug related deaths
In the late onset cohort, the increase in alcohol and drug related deaths as well as acute complications of diabetes outweighed some reduction in chronic complications of diabetes. Alcohol and drug related deaths accounted for 39% of deaths at 20 years' duration in patients diagnosed between 1985 and 1989. Alcohol and drug related deaths were also high in the early onset group, varying between 25% and 30%. The higher proportion in the late onset cohort is, however, mostly explained by the older age, as alcohol related deaths increase with increasing age in Finland. This is confirmed by comparing the standardised mortality ratios; although the absolute numbers of alcohol and drug related deaths were higher in the late onset cohort, the standardised mortality ratio was similar in both cohorts indicating no differences in excess mortality compared with the background population.
The high proportion of, and increase in, alcohol related deaths among patients with type 1 diabetes reflects that of the background population. Since 2005, alcohol induced diseases have been the most common cause of death in men and women of working age (15-64 years) in Finland, exceeding the number of deaths from cardiovascular disease (Statistics Finland: www.stat.fi).
In accordance with the results of this study, alcohol and drug misuse also played an important role together with mental dysfunction or suicide as the cause of deaths in Swedish patients with diabetes diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 34 years.25 Likewise, drug misuse was an important cause of death in patients with type 1 diabetes diagnosed in young adulthood in the Yorkshire study.26
However, the high numbers of alcohol and drug related deaths in Finland are not straightforwardly comparable with those in the other countries. The high rate found in Finland might be due to high reliability of causes of death, as the medical death certificate is issued only after autopsy, when this is done, with all its accessory examinations completed.27 The autopsy rate is very high among patients with type 1 diabetes—about 80% in this study. Postmortem toxicology allows the diagnosis of alcohol or drug intoxication more accurately, so alcohol or drugs as a cause of death may be found more frequently in Finland than in other countries.
Acute diabetic complications
The increase in the proportion of acute complications of diabetes—hypoglycaemia, ketoacidosis, or diabetic coma—in the late onset cohort over time in this study is of concern. Diabetic ketoacidosis has been reported to be the leading cause early mortality, before the peak in chronic complications of diabetes.4 14 28 The EURODIAB mortality study reported that as many as 35% of the deaths in children diagnosed after 1989 were due to acute complications.4 Although acute diabetic complications could be largely preventable, they are still an important cause of death. Alcohol consumption is a well known risk factor for severe hypoglycaemia in type 1 diabetes,29 and an increase in both alcohol and drug related deaths and deaths due to acute diabetic complications may be related.
Depression and suicides
People with type 1 diabetes have significantly higher rates of depression than do those without diabetes.30 We frequently found a diagnosis of depression in the medical history of patients who died as a result of alcohol or drug misuse in this study. Heavy drinking is often associated with clinically significant depression.31 Furthermore, depression is highly correlated with suicidal ideation. Patients with type 1 diabetes have been found to be at higher risk of suicide than people without diabetes in some, but not all, studies.32 33 34 35 Although more men than women committed suicide, the standardised mortality ratio was significant only in women with early onset diabetes. In accordance with this, women had a higher risk of suicides in studies from Slovenia and the United Kingdom.36 37 Intoxication with drugs was the most commonly used method of suicide in women, whereas hanging and shooting were the predominant methods in men. Easily available diabetes related methods may make women more vulnerable to suicide.
Effect of age at onset and duration of diabetes on mortality
Not only the magnitude but also the peak in the standardised mortality ratio varied according to age at onset of diabetes, reflecting the effect of corresponding duration of diabetes. The patterns seen in the peaks of standardised mortality ratios and the effect of duration of diabetes resemble the model of incidence of diabetic nephropathy and the variability of risk by age at onset of diabetes. On average, the incidence of diabetic nephropathy first increases linearly with duration of diabetes, starting at five to 10 years' duration, but after 20-25 years from diagnosis the incident cases start to decline.38 39 However, this pattern is modified by the age at onset of diabetes. In the youngest age at onset group, the standardised mortality ratio did not reach a peak, probably because the duration of diabetes was too short. This is in accordance with the population based studies on end stage renal disease that have shown greatly reduced or delayed risk of end stage renal disease in patients with onset of diabetes before the age of 5 years.5 40 This prolonged peak in the standardised mortality ratio is encouraging, as the age at onset of diabetes has decreased and children with onset before the age of 5 are becoming more common.9 41 42
The main strength of this study is that it is population based with a large sample size, long follow-up time, and the ability to compare differences in mortality not only by different time of diagnosis but also between early onset and late onset type 1 diabetes. Mortality studies in type 1 diabetes should be population based and first identify patients with type 1 diabetes, as in many countries the information on death certificates does not allow identification of all patients with diabetes.43
The main limitation is the lack of precise information about type of diabetes for all patients. The classification of diabetes in young adults is challenging, and misclassification may occur. However, we used several data sources to exclude patients with secondary or type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, the vast majority of people with diabetes below the age of 30 have type 1 diabetes. Thus, we believe that misclassification of patients is not a problem.
Obtaining precise estimates of cause specific mortality rates is also challenging, because the underlying cause of death is not always unequivocal. Patients with diabetes and several late complications, mainly diabetic nephropathy, are at high risk of cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, acute respiratory infections, including pneumonia, tend to cluster in patients at high risk of coronary heart disease and may even play a role in triggering acute coronary syndromes.44 Patients with diabetic nephropathy often die from heart failure, although the immediate cause of death is pneumonia. If all these conditions were present, the order in the classification in this study was infection, cardiovascular disease, and diabetic nephropathy. The deaths due to heart failure and infection may thus mask diabetic nephropathy, and infection in turn may mask undetected cardiovascular death. Therefore, we also grouped these causes of death together and denoted them "any chronic diabetic complications."
In conclusion, we found improvement in the survival of patients with early onset type 1 diabetes followed from 1970 to 2007. Improved survival in the early onset cohort was explained by a decrease in chronic complications of diabetes during the first 20 years of diabetes. However, an alarming finding was that both short term and long term trends showed an increase in the standardised mortality ratios in patients diagnosed at the age of 15 to 29 years. The increase in mortality was due to an increase in alcohol and drug related mortality and acute complications of diabetes. This highlights the importance of permanent and long lasting patient-doctor-nurse relationships, close supervision, and guidance on the short term and long term effects of alcohol in young people with type 1 diabetes, especially in our alcohol permissive cultures.
Type 1 diabetes is still associated with premature mortality due to both acute and chronic complications of diabetes
Few studies have compared trends in mortality between early onset and late onset type 1 diabetes
Survival of patients with early onset type 1 diabetes (age 0-14 years) has improved with time owing to a decrease in chronic diabetic complications
Survival of patients with late onset type 1 diabetes (age 15-29 years) has deteriorated since the 1980s
Alcohol has become an important cause of death in patients with type 1 diabetes, and the proportion of acute diabetic complications as a cause of death has increased in patients with late onset type 1 diabetes

Q: How to use animations imported with the mesh from blender i have made an animation in blender with a mesh and a armature, i exported it as a FBX, and imported it into unity, i can see the animation and the mesh and it all looks fine, but since im only a few weeks into unity i dont know how to play, stop, rewind the animation and so on, i looked around for guides on how to do it and every video seems to make the animations inside of unity and use a character controller, did i screw up? do i have to make my animation and model all over again? whats going on

A: have a look at the import options and check "import animations". you can also select if animations should be centered or relative.
also, I am pretty sure you will need an animation controller. a simple one will be sufficient.
altough I just googled your problem and found this answer that I cannot verify now but maybe its suitable to you:

if you want to just play a clip on a thing, you can use the new
Playables system, if you're in 2017.1 or later. The API is pretty low
level, so you're going to want to wrap it in a component, but it's
very ideal for "play a clip on a thing" situations. It's still using
an animator to play the animation, but you don't need an
AnimatorController, and you can dispose of the graph and stop the
thing from doing stuff when it's not animating.

Q: react-bootstrap carousel width behavior I would like to know what is the "correct solution" as how to display a carousel correctly in a page or how you would do it.

            </Well>

http://i.imgur.com/BgqNfTE.png
img {
    margin: auto;
}

This is the solution I came with, but it feels kind of "off".
Should the carousel be shrinked with an auto margin to match the size of the pictures, then center it on the page ?

A: You could try to set .carousel to a fixed dimension equal to your images and then work on alignment as desired:
.carousel {
  width:900px;
  height:500px;
  margin: auto;
}

EDIT based on comment, to preserve responsiveness use a media query (Also bear in mind that unless you specify dimensions between carousel and your images they won't just match):
@media (max-width: 900px) {
    .carousel {
      width:auto;
      height:auto;
    }
}

Ditchling Road Pedestrian + Cycling Improvements | BHCC
The Ditchling Road links Brighton City Centre to the South Downs National Park. Brighton and Hove City Council (BHCC) wanted to improve the walking and cycling link between the city edge and the new National Park as there was not a footway or cycle facility along this part of the corridor.
BHCC commissioned Urban Movement to explore ways in which to enable and encourage walking and cycling alongside the road, making it more attractive to reach the park by sustainable transport. We proposed that a 3 to 4m wide bi-directional shared (pedestrians and cyclists) path be located on the wide grass verge on the western side of the road. This was surfaced with a locally quarried permeable self-binding gravel so as not to detract from the rural character of the open countryside setting. The path was opened in October 2014, meaning that the northern most 1.5km of Ditchling Road now has a safe, off-carriageway, walking and cycling route.
A number complementary measures were also proposed to make the carriageway a less hostile environment: reducing the speed limit from 60mph to 40mph; changing the character of the corridor by introducing open field grazing with cattle grids at either end; removing the road centre line; removing the road edge lines and introducing advisory cycle lanes on both sides of the carriageway. These measures maybe introduced in the future.

Today's Idiom = "Rub Salt In An Old Wound"
"Rub Salt In An Old Wound"
To "rub salt in an old wound" is to intentionally cause someone to feel pain by revisiting a painful experience. Someone may be talking about something which caused us embarrassment in the past, and remembering it through discussion causes us to be embarrassed or feel the pain again.
Example: "Hey- do you remember that time you were giving a speech and you dropped your laptop computer?" Answer: "Oh please, let's not rub salt in old wounds!"

Physicists Shrink Plans for Next Major Collider
Large Hadron Collider's failure to detect new particles beyond the Higgs has eroded the case for Japan's proposed linear accelerator
By Edwin Cartlidge, Nature magazine on November 12, 2017

Limited funding and a dearth of newly discovered particles are forcing physicists to cut back plans for their next major accelerator project: a multibillion-dollar facility known as the International Linear Collider (ILC) in Japan.
On November 7, the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA), which oversees work on the ILC, endorsed halving the machine's planned energy from 500 to 250 gigaelectronvolts (GeV), and shortening its proposed 33.5-kilometre-long tunnel by as much as 13 kilometres. The scaled-down version would have to forego some of its planned research such as studies of the 'top' flavour of quark, which is produced only at higher energies.
Instead, the collider would focus on studying the particle that endows all others with mass—the Higgs boson, which was detected in 2012 by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Europe's particle-physics lab near Geneva, Switzerland.
Leading particle physicists nevertheless remain upbeat. A 250-GeV machine still has "a convincing physics case", says Hugh Montgomery at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport News, Virginia. He says that it could be upgraded to higher energies in future.
High-energy physicists have been planning a future linear collider for 25 years, but the ILC is now unlikely to see the light of day until at least 2030. They viewed the linear collider as complementary to the LHC, allowing physicists to scrutinize in detail any particles discovered at CERN.
Linear design
The circular LHC smashes together protons, which allows it to reach very high energies (13 teraelectronvolts). But, as composite particles (made of quarks), protons create messy collisions with clouds of debris.
By contrast, the ILC would collide electrons and positrons head on after accelerating them in thousands of superconducting cavities joined end to end. Although yielding lower energies, its collisions—between fundamental particles—would be cleaner and more precise than those in a proton–proton machine.
The international physics community had hoped that Japan would foot much of the estimated US$10 billion needed to realize the original design, after researchers there put forward a proposal to host the facility in October 2012, just after the Higgs discovery. But the Japanese government—deterred by the project's huge price tag, according to Tatsuya Nakada, a physicist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland—has not yet made any offer of funding.
That fact, coupled with an absence of any other new particle discoveries at the LHC beyond the Higgs, led the Japan Association of High Energy Physicists in July to propose capping the ILC's energy at 250 GeV.
Aiming for a higher energy, the association explained, made less sense after data collected by the LHC in 2015 and 2016 showed that any particles outside physicists' standard model are unlikely to weigh less than 1,000 GeV, and therefore would be out of reach even for a full-scale version of the ILC. However, 250 GeV is high enough to produce large numbers of Higgs bosons, which, the association said, could yield indirect signs of new physics through measurements of their interactions with other known particles.
Energy debate
This proposed 'Higgs factory' has also been endorsed by an international working group responsible for formulating the ILC's science case, in a paper uploaded to the preprint server arXiv last month. The ICFA then gave the pared-down collider its thumbs up at a meeting held in Ottawa, Canada, this week.
Not all physicists are enthusiastic, however. John Ellis, a theorist at King's College London and CERN, maintains that only when operating at around 1,000 GeV will a linear collider provide "a more complete picture of the Higgs". He acknowledges that costs need to be reined in, but says that in limiting the ILC to 250 GeV, "you are making significant scientific compromises".
A report uploaded to arXiv last week describes three possible layouts for the 250 GeV model (a technical design for the higher-energy ILC was published in 2013). Each requires halving the length of the superconducting electron–positron accelerators, but two of the options retain extra tunnel space to accommodate future upgrades.
Taking into account projected savings from ongoing research into accelerators, the report estimates that the collider's core construction cost could be reduced by as much as 40%—bringing it down to around $5 billion in 2012 prices. Manpower and detectors would then raise the total to about $7 billion, according to Lyn Evans, an accelerator physicist at CERN who is directing research on the ILC.
Michael Peskin, a theoretical partical physicist at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, California, and a member of the ILC working group, has no doubt about the value of a Higgs factory. He says that theoretical studies of the Higgs boson and the weak nuclear force—one of the four known fundamental forces—done over the past year have strengthened the case for experimental probes of the Higgs' interaction strength (the Higgs is required to give the carriers of the weak force finite mass). "The 250-GeV stage is actually more interesting scientifically than we thought," he says.
The ILC decision now rests with Japan. Evans describes the Japanese government's ongoing assessment of the linear-collider project as "very long and very frustrating". But other countries won't commit money until the host country makes its plans known, he says. "The rest of the world is waiting for the Japanese government to decide," he says.

Grady Gordon's "If It Was A Snake It Would Have Bit You" @ Public Land
Austin McManus March 25, 2019
Grady Gordon transcends to his native state of New Mexico in order to re-imagine the geography, fauna, flora and iconography of his childhood in a new exhibition entitled, If It Was a Snake It Would Have Bit You, inside Public Land Gallery. Detouring completely from his usual subject matter, the Oakland-based artist has created an entirely new body of work for this exhibition, employing his skills in both monotype printing and sculpture. "I was channeling a lot from what I saw as a kid exploring the desert, collecting objects and bringing them home to stack or assemble," Grady explains. Using New Mexico as his muse, Grady sought to re-create snapshots of his memory, while exploring the consistent shapes and textures found in this arresting Southwestern region. When asked about the usage of snakes throughout many of the works, Grady explained, "I have always had a kinship and love towards snakes. The title of the exhibition is a saying I would hear [often] as a child. A saying many people would utter."
Born in Sante Fe, New Mexico, Grady Gordon is an artist and teacher who resides in Oakland, CA, and has received a BFA from CCA. His previous showings include Athen B. Gallery in Oakland, Flatcolor Gallery in Portland, Superchief Gallery in Los Angeles and more.
If It Was a Snake It Would Have Bit You will be on view at Public Land Gallery from March 30th – April 17th, 2019. There will also be a zine published in conjunction with this exhibition and available for purchase. For price and availability inquiries, please email info@publiclandstore.com

Tax on industrialized goods (IPI – Imposto sobre Produtos Industrializados)
IPI Reduction
IPI is not cumulative; and thus tax due may be offset by credits arising from the purchase of raw materials, intermediary products, and packaging materials. However, no credits are granted for goods that become fixed assets. The rates at which IPI is charged on the value of industrialized goods, as they are imported or dispatched from domestic plants, varies in accordance with the nature of the goods. The average rate is 10%. Export goods are exempted from IPI.
Reduction IPI for cars
IPI car
The IPI tax for cars manufactured in Brazil has been reduced. For cars imported from outside Mercosur and Mexico, the rate will fall from 37% to 30%, the minister of economic afffairs Mantega said. Cars up to a thousand cubic centimeters (1.0) has been reduced from 7% to zero by the end of August this year.
For vehicles with a thousand cubic centimeters (1.0) to two thousand cubic centimeters (2.0), the rate for alcohol cars and "flex" (alcohol and gasoline) for companies operating in Brazil, will be reduced from 11% to 5.5%. For imported cars, the rate will be reduced from 41% to 35.5%. As for gasoline cars a thousand to two thousand cubic centimeters, the IPI will fall from 13% to 6.5% for cars produced in Brazil and 43% to 36.5% for vehicles from outside Mercosur and Mexico. In the case of utilities, the rate will be reduced from 4% to 1% (companies established in the country) and for imported cars will fall from 34% to 31%.
