My first love wasn't pet battling. It was literature.
My grandmother was a life-long English teacher, following in her mother's footsteps. Her mother became one of a very few female English teachers at a prep school, because she had 2 tiny mouths to feed and her husband, my great-grandfather, walked out on them. Divorcees were both rare and reviled in the 1930s, but words gave her the ability to keep a roof over their heads.
When I was little, my grandmother would read anything to me, from classic poetry to The Monster At The End Of This Book. She would hate this blog, by the way, because I don't follow the hardline rules of grammar in favor of a more colloquial (& hopefully therefore less intimidating) manner of writing. "I believe you spliced that comma," she would say. "You should have indented a new line of dialogue," she would correct, with a twinkle in her eye. Literature was her refuge after my grandfather died of colon cancer at 53, and for the 30 years she lived without him afterward.
I ended up getting a BA in English with a minor in creative writing and a bit of MA coursework, largely because of my grandmother's influence. Literature has always felt like home to me. I could pick up a dog-eared favorite or start a new story and instantly feel grounded. I thought initially that I would teach, but found those courses boring. By contrast, I wrote page after page of poetry. Reams of it. After college I didn't really have an outlet, so I gradually stopped writing. I tried the slam scene for a bit, but that didn't really click. Self-motivation has always been hard for me, so daily writing exercises for no defined purpose fell by the wayside first. I wrote the first chapters of a couple novels, and an outline or two. I still read, but the creative process very slowly waned.
Before I knew it, it had been weeks since I had written.
By the time I realized it, it felt like it was too late. How can I even start, when I didn't know it was gone, or what 'it' even was that I was missing?
I was heavily invested in WoW then, so random daily objectives sort of took that place. Not truly, of course, but in terms of just keeping busy, marking time. I started reading WoW Insider, and became pretty prolific commenter. When they had an open call for editors & columnists of course I had to apply. It was a natural fit. I had the credentials. I had the thousands of hours of writing practice behind me. The initial bit was easy. Name, where you live, experience, what do you like about the site. Then I had to write sample articles, and everything came crashing down.
How can I even start? That question again.
I submitted subpar articles with a cover letter full of vulnerable puffery and knew I had no chance before I hit 'send'. Doubly so when they announced the people they'd chosen. I also knew as I submitted my crappy application that I had to start writing again. I was passionately into pet battles by that time, already answering plenty of questions about them in the comments because I knew them inside & out, so I knew what my focus would be. I took the name of the character I was playing most often then, and made a site that day. In hindsight, perhaps I should've thought on it a bit longer and picked something a bit shorter & easier to spell. I'm not sure that had I taken that time to think, I would've been jarred out of my stasis in the same way. I was resolved that the next time they put out the call for open application, that I would be ready.
Tamer Liopleurodon's Battle Pet Roundup turns 2 years old exactly 1 month from today.
I owe WoW Insider so, so much for that call to arms. That first kick to get the ball rolling, the community support, and the inspiration to do better just by being there and publishing high quality content daily cannot be overestimated. They helped me reclaim the power I've known was in writing my whole life. Even with the additional practice I now have, I lack the words to thank them for that.
The pseudo-announcement from Joystiq that AOL is 'shuttering' that entire network of tech blogs (including WoW Insider) is heartbreaking. People are losing their jobs. People feel as though they're losing their community, though people also seem to be banding together right now to keep it. That's the one bright spot in all this. Selfishly, I'm disappointed that I'll not likely have the chance to apply again and complete the circle that brought me here. Selfishly, I'm more than a little worried that without that carrot in front of me, I may stop again.
 – I'm very excited to know that WoW Insider does live on in spirit on their new, crowdfunded site, Blizzard Watch.

The hype is real, y'all! Croatia will stage their first national selection since 2011 in just a few days time.
And yesterday Eurovision HRT revealed the snippets of all 16 entries competing in Dora.
The snippets are really short — only 20 seconds each! But that's just enough to whet our appetites for a while.
The broadcaster won't release the songs in full until the show, as to create more suspense on the big night. The thinking goes that a casual Eurovision viewer at home usually hears the song only once. Fair, fair!
Let's take a look at the 16 snippets competing this Sunday.
Unlike in previous editions of Dora, this year HRT will give us only one night. The contest remains in the same location as in the past — that's the coastal town of Opatija. But contrary to previous editions, it will be held in the Marino Cvetkovic sport hall, which can seat around 1, 200 people inside. That's a small improvement from 900-person Crystal Hall (no, not the one in Baku) could host in its day.
The 50-50 combination of televote and regional jury will determine the winner. In the case of a tie, the public vote will prevail. Power to the people!
POLL: Which of the sixteen snippets is your favourite?
Who is ready to follow in the footsteps of Franka in Tel Aviv? Does anyone give you winner feels…and are there some definite non-qualifiers in the bunch? Make sure to cast a vote in our poll down below. You can vote for as many songs as you like, but you can do it only one time. Click the box next to each act you want to support before pressing submit.
Disappointing choice on first listen, the one lady sounded like Jamal's and the rock band were dated. The only stand out was the Babylon song as it had the ethnic fantasy vibe. Overall a lot of tripe. I doubt our Eurovision winner is here.
I know these are just snippets, but man, Brutalero and Tower Of Babylon! These were the ones that immediately drew me in.
People, let's be honest here – These snippets are way too short to know anything for sure. Some songs sound more promising than others, but actually who knows who will be the best one on Saturday.
You are generally totally right. ButI know one act that will definitely not be the best. That picture someone posted below speaks louder than the already cheesy snippet. I was in a café when i saw it and I couldn't contain myself. Not even a little.
I agree, the costume (if actually the final one) looks cheesy and funny. Still, you might be forgetting that sometimes some of the better ESC songs had awful costumes and/or staging. (e. i. Lighthouse, Wild Soul, Dance Alone) Also, some were deliberately over-the-top. Awful, but spot-on. (e.i. Jedward). However, if this is not a joke entry, than that possibility is less probable.
Even if we disregard the costume for a second, "I have a dream" lyrics make me cringe. I mean, the costume is actually spot on for what I think the song will turn out to be. We'll see in two days. There are a number of hopeful candidates.
For what I've heard, we just have a case of standard ESC lyrics. Nothing to write home about, but far from cringe. As someone mentioned, on pair with Kasia Mos. And we all know how she "didn't" qualify for that. Actually, half of Beovizija has way more cringeworthy lyrics, but people don't understand them, so they just vote for the catchy tune.
Even not understanding the lyrics often doesn't hide the dullness from me. Like Macedonia 2016. I don't speak any Slavic language but I have heard enough Macedonian songs to understand that Kaliopi wrote something really weak and uninspired, so I stopped enjoying it even before reading the translation which confirmed my impression.
Ha ha… I agree with you on Dona, it was a weak song. I'm not saying this one is good either, I'm just saying that the very beggining sounds potentially promising.
Everything sounds weak to me. Sorry.. Lorena and Luka are only ones that have a chance to qualify.
Moramo glasat za Luku! On je jedini izbor.
First of all Luka's song sounds like Muerdéme (maybe that's just me) and with potentially Bella Santiago and already chosen Miki, this will just blend in and that's not what Croatia wants.
Secondly as ethnic as Lorena's song is, something is telling me they're going to botch up her stageshow and bring it back to the 12th Century.
And finally, how are y'all not liking Kim Verson and her Orgesa Zaimi realness?
Roko sounds like David D'or's To Believe for Israel in 2004.
I had a chance to hear the song. The Dream is the potential to win Eurovision Song Contest.
Duba you're delusional, this will be a joke entry if it goes to eurovision.
That's your opinion. I've been watching the Eurosong since 1998. My opinion is that the song has the potential to win.
The potential to win Barbara Dex award.
lmao why am I laughing at this so much??
Someone was inspired by Azerbaijan 2008, it seems.
LOL omg what poor soul thought this was a good idea, let alone in the year of 2019 when Eurovision has started to become less of a joke? Thanks for the giggles though.
You only heard 15 seconds of the song's beginning so….
And, even bigger: in less than an hour, Greece will reveal their Eurovision participant (AT LAST!). I hope it's Katerine Duska, as the rumor suggest.
Where did you get this Information and where will it be revealed?
Another site that starts with a Euro and ends in a voix. They said 20:00 and the Wikipedia article has already been updated to say it's Katerine Duska.
And that was taken away. So who knows?
You think she'd get fined, like Sasha Song was?
No, because she didn't officially withdraw Criminal. She simply gave instructions to fans and the jury to let it go, so the televote in the finals wouldn't be split. There is still a decent chance that fans and juries will not listen to that and that Criminal will qualify. There is now a lesser chance that she'll win the semi, but she still might get through.
Roko has a song that will compete for Eurovision victory.
Really? Roko's lyrics are under inspection when one of the fan-favorites has a song which consists of random pseudo-Spanish words?
I'm sorry Colin, but Roko's lyrics are rubbish.
Well, "dream-extreme-seem" isn't the most sophisticated kind of rhyming – it brings back memories of Kasia Mos' "fire-wire-desire".
I would put my bet on Lorena or Roko. I see both of them high in the Finals. I would prefer Lorena! Her songs seems so dramatic and mysterious and I'm intrigued! She can take this song to the whole new level with EPIC performance! Can't wait for Saturday!!!!!
Roko and Lorena are the only ones with a real chance.
The mello snippets are out now!
It's hard to make assumptions based on the snippets, but Lorena's "Tower of Babylon" is the one making me curious.
I think Albania's really good and Czech Republic is OK. The rest I agree with.
Looks like Dora 2019 is stuck in the mid 2000's.
I really like this selection. Best of balkans, unless Slovenia chooses Kim….
Nice selection you're having Croatia! I really enjoy most of the songs, it's going to be a diversed show. I guess "Tower of Babylon" to me sounds the most promising – I really like it's oriental vibe – kinda Turkey 1997, Croatia 1999 or… the theme tune of Eurovision 2012. Good luck, Hrvatska!
It's really hard to say from the snippets alone, because they are SO short, but I feel like Roko, Lorena and Jure have potentially really good songs. They are the ones I might vote for on Saturday. I get why people noted Luka's song (It's very different), but feels just really nonsensical from the snippet. I am sure Kim Verson will have a great live, but I am not that intrigued by her song. Lidija Bacic will probably serve us another cajka (look at my Serbian reviews to find out what that is).
I am a Croat and of course I do recognize the style. So what, it's a good style and a tribute to a great man. I'd rather have that than something of a lesser quality.
The first snippet. But 20 seconds are nothing. Bernarda could be good if the lyrics don't turn out to be too bad. Her entry about god in the Swiss NF a couple of years ago was dreadful.
It's hard to say something based on such short snippets but I think that I kind of liked the snippets of Roko, Lorena and Luka.
I feel sorry for Croatia this year.
Why, this is very decent NF based on this snippets.


Copper advanced as industrial metals held gains that have pushed them into a bull market amid signs of stabilization in China's economy.
The metal used in pipes and wires rose as much as 0.3% on the London Metal Exchange to $4,880 a metric ton, and was at $4,871 a ton in Singapore. Tin advanced as much as 0.6% to extend its best quarterly performance since 2013. Lead also gained while zinc declined and aluminum was flat, Bloomberg reported.
The LME Index, tracking six contracts, is at its highest in more than a year and moved into a bull market last week as sentiment improves following OPEC's agreement to cut oil output, which drove up oil prices and increased production costs for metals.
China's manufacturing purchasing managers index, an official factory gauge, stayed at the highest level in almost two years for a second month and services increased, according to data released Saturday by the National Bureau of Statistics. Markets in China are closed this week.
Copper demand will exceed supply by 52,000 tons in 2017 after a surplus of 110,000 tons this year, Japan's biggest producer Pan Pacific Copper Co. said Monday in a presentation in Tokyo. Prices will climb 46% through 2020 as the global market swings to a shortage, it said.
Nickel retreated as much as 0.6% after it advanced Friday by the most in more than a week. Output of the metal in the Philippines, which accounts for about a fifth of global production, will tumble 18% this year amid the nation's audit of mining operations, BMI Research said Monday in a note.
The audit raises the chances of prices rallying by about a quarter through 2017, according to UBS Group AG's Daniel Morgan in an interview Friday.

Václav Burda (14 January 1973 – 16 July 2018) was a Czech ice hockey player and a member of the 1998 bronze medal-winning Czech national team.

Playing career
Unlike his peers, he came to Sparty's first training at the age of ten, thanks to his sporty versatility after two training sessions he went to play a contest. He proved that he was able to assert himself as a 17-year-old on the A-Team. During his hockey activities, he was fortunate enough to meet the legends of Czech hockey: Pavel Wohl and Josef Horešovský. In Sparta, he endured the end of the 1998-1999 season when he moved to Sweden. He played in Luleå HF for three seasons, although he barely played in his last two seasons for health reasons. Because of this, he ended his active career at the beginning of 2002. Unfortunately, he had problems with his abdominal muscles as a result of a kidney surgery.

He has played 19 games for the Czech team in which he did not score a goal.

In 1996, he played for half a year in an inline hockey league for San Jose Rhinos.

Personal life
After completing his hockey career, he remained in hockey, working as a scout of the Ottawa Senators during the 2002-2003 season. Later, he was in charge of club scouting in Europe for the Edmonton Oilers.

He died in a car accident at the village of Mikulčice at the age of 45 years.

What is marketing? The Small Business Perspective.
So what is marketing anyway?
So many small business owners get this wrong that it hurts me. I mean it, I literally cringe when I hear their answer to my question. As a marketing consultant, before I can offer a single word of help, I need to know their current understanding of what marketing means to them and how they see themselves applying it to their business venture.
When the question of what is marketing is posed, many business owners immediately think of advertising. But advertising - whether broadcast media such as radio radio or tv; print media like newspapers, magazines, brochures, flyers or direct mail; outdoor methods including billboards, signage or posters; and even the much praised but poorly executed "word of mouth" - is not marketing. These are merely components of a marketing plan and can be used alone or in combination with other marketing elements.
It's not that the definition of marketing is extremely difficult or complicated, it's simply that many small business owners have never considered exactly what marketing is and what the proper application of marketing principles can mean for their business. They presume to know, but in the day to day pressure of running their business, they have not stopped to consider the essential role marketing plays in their overall business plan.
If they even have a plan.
Come on, you know what I'm talking about. You meant to write a plan. You've been told you need a plan. Your accountant may have even asked to see your plan...and she's still waiting!
Within the pages of every well developed business plan is a section entitled: Marketing.
Marketing is a targeted, planned, ongoing series of activities designed to draw attention to your business, product or service offering.
online presence. Knowing precisely what marketing is, and understanding how to put it to work for your business is absolutely essential. It can not be left to chance. It must not be ignored. Ignorance of basic marketing strategies sets you up to fail, to be devoured by savvy, more educated competitors.

Novel microsatellite markers for common fig, Ficus carica L.
To improve and accelerate the investigation of Ficus carica L. genome studies 39 new microsatellites from fig genomic DNA libraries were developed and enriched for GA/TC and GT/AC motifs. Libraries were prepared from local cultivar 'Miljska figa' and positive clones were sequenced. Microsatellite sequences were localized by Perl script MISA and pipelined to Perl scripts for primer development with PRIMER3 program. New microsatellites were genotyped on an ABI 3130 Genetic Analyzer and allele calling was performed using GeneMapper 4.1 software. Among 39 newly developed microsatellite loci, there are 29 amplified single microsatellite loci with polymorphic alleles. In a set of eight fig trees, the number of detected alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 5. New microsatellite loci not only represent a tool for diversity studies, but provide an important new resource for determining genetic relationships between cultivated and wild fig forms, investigation of fig population structure, and help to resolve confusion in denomination of fig genetic resources.

On the Situation in the Ivory Coast
Joint Statement of Communist Parties of West Africa (excerpts)
The Communist Party of Benin,(1) the Revolutionary Communist Party of the Ivory Coast and the Revolutionary Communist Party of Volta,(2) have met to examine the international political situation, concretely the situation in Iraq and in the Ivory Coast and their repercussions in the region… We are reproducing the statement on the Ivory Coast, since in India there is practically no information about the African continent, and what there is slanted and distorted.
The Communist Parties of Africa, meeting in Cotonou (Benin), declare that the Ivory Coast has been plunged into a reactionary civil war since September 19, 2002. This is undoubtedly the most serious crisis that the proletariat and peoples of the Ivory Coast, as well as the countries of the sub-region, have faced since formal independence in 1960.
[...] The Ivory Coast is a French neo-colony that formally achieved independence in 1960. Like many of the countries colonised by France, colonisation was replaced by neo-colonisation, a new form of imperialist domination. From 1960 to 1990, this French neo-colony was ruled by the State Party, the PDCI-RDA [Democratic Party of the Ivory Coast – African Democratic Rally], led by the autocrat Houphouet-Boigny.
The crisis of the neo-colonial system that the Ivory Coast has been experiencing since 1980, on top of the economic crisis and the heroic struggles of the popular masses for their freedom and bread, led to the weakening of the bases of the autocracy and its only party in 1990. From that partial victory of the popular masses, parties and organisations of the masses were formed. Of those parties, we should point out the ones that represent the middle classes which for a long time were oppressed by the PDCI. Those parties (FPI, PIT, USD, etc.) by their programmes, speeches and practice are competing with the PDCI to serve as lackeys of international imperialism, particularly French imperialism. After the death of Houphouet-Boigny, the PDCI-RDA, undermined by its internal contradictions, split into two: the RDR of Alassane Ouatara and the PDCI of Konan Bédié. Those two parties of the Houphouet-Boigny type, as well as the petty bourgeois parties are fighting to the death over neo-colonial power, to the extent of endangering the political stability necessary for the security of the interests of their imperialist masters.
The bourgeois parties have used various means: the exacerbation of religious differences and the playing off of some nationalities against others, the development of chauvinism and xenophobia, the adoption of anti-democratic measures, savage repression, etc. This relentless struggle has taken various forms: an active boycott of the elections of 1995, attempts at coups d'etat, the coup d'etat of 1999...
Those confrontations among bourgeois factions are the reflection of the evident failure of French imperialism to reach unity of their lackeys, and this has led to the present war. Thus, the essential motive of this war is to assure French interests in the Ivory Coast and in the sub-region of West Africa.
The deep causes can be summarised as:
The Intervention of French imperialism to impose lackeys who are capable of assuring the necessary political framework for imperialist exploitation and to defend their 'plots' in West Africa against the voraciousness of U.S. imperialism.
The anti-democratic, chauvinist, xenophobic and exclusionary politics of the bourgeois tendencies; the relentless struggles among those bourgeois factions for power.
The intervention of the neo-colonialist forces of Blaise Compaoré (Burkina Faso) and Charles Taylor (Liberia), as junior partners of French imperialism and also on their own account, giving support to the armed factions in the Ivory Coast (military, logistical and political support).
This reactionary war is between the party in power, the FPI and its allies in the 'Patriotic Front', and the rebels (MPCI, MPIGO, MJP) and the RDR. It is the continuation by means of arms of the reactionary politics of the bourgeoisie and its master, French imperialism. It is a reactionary war, because it does not correspond to the interests of the popular masses and their emancipation. It is a war opposed to the aspirations and interests of the popular masses. This reactionary civil war has the following immediate political consequences:
Aggravation of imperialist domination: the agreements of Lina-Marcousis and resolution 1464 of the UN that makes the Ivory Coast a protectorate of French imperialism.
The establishment of a fascist neo-colonial regime in the Ivory Coast.
Danger of an increase in the nationalist, chauvinist and xenophobic currents in the Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso. The danger of a generalisation of the war.
As for the economic and social consequences:
The collapse of the economies of the whole region, particularly the Ivory Coast and neighbouring countries (Burkina, Mali, Niger). A humanitarian catastrophe which is affecting the populations of the region (displacement of populations, a massive flow of refugees, epidemics, famine, etc.). Massive violation of human rights (collective massacres, pogroms, political assassinations...).
Faced with this reactionary war, the communist parties who have signed the present statement:
Denounce the reactionary civil war in the Ivory Coast and demand an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.
Denounce international imperialism, particularly French imperialism, and demand the withdrawal of their military bases and other foreign troops.
Denounce the interference of Blaise Compaoré and Charles Taylor and demand the withdrawal of their mercenaries and an end to their support of the armed rebel factions.
The communist parties of Africa call on the proletariat and peoples of all countries in the region of West Africa to:
Fight for popular sovereignty, freedom and genuine independence.
Solidarity and harmony among the peoples.
Link their struggle against the civil war to the revolutionary struggle and the struggle for socialism. They call on the international proletariat and peoples of the world to support the struggles that the proletarians and peoples of the region are carrying out against this reactionary civil war.

Frontline Venetoclax-Based Combinations Improve uMRD Rates Compared to Chemoimmunotherapy in CLL
Jessica Hergert
Conference | ASH Annual Meeting
Looking at frontline venetoclax based combinations shows promise for fit patients with CLL.
The combination of obinutuzumab (Gazyva) and venetoclax (Venclexta; GVe), as well as GVe plus ibrutinib (Imbruvica; GIVe) demonstrated superior rates of undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD) compared to chemoimmunotherapy in fit patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), according to data presented during the 2021 Annual ASH Meeting and Exposition.1
In the phase 3 GAIA (CLL13) trial (NCT02950051), at 15 months the rate of uMRD (< 10-4) was 86.5% (97.5% CI, 80.6%-91.1%) with GVe compared with 52% (97.5% CI, 44.4%-59.5%) with chemoimmunotherapy (P < .0001). The rate of uMRD was 92.2% (97.5% CI, 87.3%-95.7%) with GIVe vs 52% with chemoimmunotherapy (P < .0001).
The combination of rituximab (Rituxan) and venetoclax (RVe) was not found to induce statistically significantly higher rates of uMRD compared with chemoimmunotherapy, at 57% (97.5% CI, 49.5%-64.2%) vs 52%, respectively (P = .317).
Venetoclax-based, time-limited therapies have demonstrated high efficacy in unfit patients with CLL. Findings from the phase 3 CLL14 trial (NCT02242942) demonstrated that the median progression-free survival (PFS) was not reached with the combination of venetoclax and obinutuzumab vs 36.4 months with chlorambucil and obinutuzumab (HR, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.25-0.45; P < .0001).2 The 4-year PFS rates were 74% vs 35.4%, respectively.
In the phase 3 CLL10 trial (NCT00769522), the chemoimmunotherapy combination of fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab (FCR) demonstrated improved PFS in older and younger patients compared with bendamustine/rituximab (BR).3 The median PFS was 57.6 months with FCR in patients 65 years of age or younger and 57.9 months with FCR in patients older than 65 years of age compared with 38.2 months with BR in patients 65 years of age or younger and 48.5 months with BR in patients older than 65 years of age.
"The first co-primary end point of uMRD rate in peripheral blood at month 15 was met by this study, showing a highly significantly superior uMRD rate with GVe in fit patients, confirming or even exceeding the results of the CLL14 trial in unfit patients. The triplet combination achieved even higher rates of uMRD," said lead study author Barbara Eichhorst, MD, an associate professor and attending physician at the University Hospital Cologne in Cologne, Germany, during a presentation of the data.
The GAIA trial aimed to determine whether venetoclax-based, time-limited, frontline combinations were superior to chemoimmunotherapy.
Fit patients with CLL whose Cumulative Incidence Rating Scale (CIRS) score was 6 or less and had normal creatinine clearance were eligible to enroll on the study. Patients must not have harbored TP53 mutations or 17p deletions by central screening.
Overall, 926 patients were randomized to 1 of 4 arms: chemoimmunotherapy (FCR, n = 150; BR, n = 79 or BR; total, n = 229), RVe (n = 237), GVe (n = 229), or GIVe (n = 231). Chemoimmunotherapy was given based on age with patients 65 years or younger receiving FCR and patients older than 65 receiving BR.
Patients were stratified by age, disease stage, and region.
The co-primary end points of the study were uMRD at 15 months in the GVe vs chemoimmunotherapy arms and PFS in the GIVe vs chemoimmunotherapy arms. However, the PFS interim analysis was postponed because of a low number of events; the results are expected in quarter 1 of 2022.
uMRD was defined as less than 10-4 in the peripheral blood and was assessed by 4-colour-flow.
All treatment regimens were given in 28-day interval cycles. Notably, patients randomized to the GIVe regimen were eligible to continue ibrutinib for up to 36 cycles if they had detectable MRD.
Patients in the intention-to-treat (ITT) cohort (n = 926) were a median age of 61 years (range, 27-84). The median CIRS score was 2 (range, 0-7), and the median creatinine clearance by the Cockcroft-Gault equation was 85.7 mL/min (range, 39.5-268.3). Binet stages ranged from stage A (n = 246; 26.6%), stage B (n = 350; 37.8%), and stage C (n = 330; 35.6%).
Risk factors in the overall ITT population included deletion 11q (n = 162; 17.5%), trisomy 12 (n = 150; 16.2%), and deletion 13q (n = 413; 44.6%). Moreover, 21.7% of patients (n = 201) did not have any cytogenetic abnormalities. Most patients (n = 518; 56%) had unmutated IGHV; 41.1% (n = 380) of patients had mutated IGHV and 2.9% (n = 27) were not evaluable.
At a median follow-up of 27.9 months (range 0-49), 81.5% (n = 176) of patients who received chemoimmunotherapy completed at least 12 cycles of treatment vs 92.4% (n = 219) of patients who received RVe, 93.9% (n = 214) of patients who received GVe, and 85.3% (n = 197) of patients who received GIVe. Reasons for treatment discontinuation included adverse effects (AEs) or intercurrent illness, progressive disease, and other reasons. Dose intensity reductions were required in 14.8% (n = 32), 19.3% (n = 44), 21.5% (n = 47), and 36.5% (n = 81) of patients, respectively.
Overall, 19% of patients (n = 35) completed at least 12 cycles of treatment, 72% (n = 135) completed 13 to 15 cycles of treatment with ibrutinib alone, and 10% (n = 18) completed 16 to 36 cycles of treatment with ibrutinib alone.
In the ibrutinib-containing arm, early treatment discontinuations may have been caused by more than 1 reason and 9 patients were not evaluable for dose modification because of unclean data.
Additional results compared uMRD rates in the peripheral blood vs bone marrow at 15 months. Respectively, the rates were 52% vs 37.1% in the chemoimmunotherapy arm, 57% vs 43% in the RVe arm, 86.5% vs 72.5% in the GVe arm, and 92.2 vs 77.9% in the GIVe arm.
Per International Workshop on CLL criteria, complete remissions with incomplete bone marrow recovery (CRis) were observed in 61.9% of patients who received GIVe, 56.8% of patients who received GVe, 49.4% of patients who received RVe, and 31% of patients who received chemoimmunotherapy. Clinical CRis were observed in 10%, 10.5%, 11.4%, and 30.1% of patients, respectively. Partial responses (PRs) were observed in 22.5%, 28.8%, 32.5%, and 19.7% of patients, respectively.
Best responses until month 15 included CRis in 62.3% of patients with GIVe, 56.8% of patients with GVe, 49.4% of patients with RVe, and 39.3% in patients with chemoimmunotherapy. Clinical CRis were reported in 30.7%, 35.4%, 41.8%, and 42.8% of patients, respectively. PRs were reported in 6.5%, 6.1%, 7.2%, and 10% of patients, respectively.
Regarding safety, any-grade AEs were reported in 98.7% of patients who received GIVe, 98.7% of patients who received GVe, 96.6% of patients who received RVe, and 98.6% of patients who received chemoimmunotherapy. Maximum grade 3 AEs were observed in 46.3%, 49.6%, 46.8%, and 37.5% of patients, respectively. Maximum grade 4 AEs were observed in 32%, 32.5%, 21.5%, and 38.9% of patients, respectively. Maximum grade 5 AEs were observed in 3.9%, 2.6%, 3%, and 2.3% of patients, respectively.
The most common grade 3 or higher AEs included anemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, febrile neutropenia, infections, tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), bleeding events, and atrial fibrillation. Of these, febrile neutropenia was reported in 7.8% of patients with GIVe, 3.1% of patients with GVe, 4.2% of patients with RVe, and 11.1% of patients with chemoimmunotherapy. Infections were reported in 22.1%, 14%, 11.4%, and 19.9% of patients, respectively. TLS was reported in 6.5%, 8.8%, 10.1%, and 4.2% of patients, respectively.
Twelve patients developed grade 5 AEs during therapy until day 84 after end of treatment; these included infections other than COVID-19 (n = 4), COVID-19 (n = 2), and secondary neoplasia (n = 4). Fifteen patients developed grade 5 AEs after 84 days following end of treatment; these included pneumonia (n = 2), Richter transformation (RT; n = 3), and secondary neoplasia. Other grade 5 AEs included suicide, RT, toxic leukoencephalopathy, cardiac arrest, and respiratory failure.
"Although there were some severe BTK-associated AEs, the AE profiles did not otherwise show significant differences between arms," concluded Eichhorst.

Canvases are the areas you can use to create your drawings. Each canvas generates a separate drawing method.
To move the canvas within your workspace, simply drag it by its title. The title of each canvas is displayed at the top of the canvas, in the center.
First, select your canvas by clicking on its title on your workspace. Then you can drag the edges of the canvas with cursor to resize the canvas.
In PaintCode, you can have multiple drawing canvases on the same tab. To add a new canvas, you can use the menu Canvas ▸ New ▸ Default menu, or press SHIFT + COMMAND + N.
To remove a canvas, simply click on its title on your workspace, then press the DELETE or BACKSPACE key.
To zoom in, press COMMAND and PLUS.
To zoom out, press COMMAND and MINUS.
Alternatively, you can zoom in and zoom out using the pinch gesture. Or you can hold down the OPTION key and use the two-finger vertical swipe (or rotate mouse wheel) to zoom in or out. This method focuses on the position of the cursor, so you can easily zoom directly to any part of the Canvas.
The first item in the canvas creation menu allows you to easily create a new canvas that has the same dimensions as the canvas that is currently active.
You can use the scrollbars or two finger swipes to move around the Canvas.
Alternatively you can hold down the SPACE key and click & drag mouse around the workspace.
Additionally, it is possible to navigate around the Canvas using the Preview. If you click on some point in your drawing in the Preview, the Canvas automatically centers at that point. Moreover, you can click and drag in the Preview to move around the Canvas smoothly.
You can choose between these modes in the middle toolbar. It is also possible to switch between them using the OPTION + D shortcut.
Non-Retina mode shows you how your drawings will look like on non-Retina displays (most Macs) Retina mode draws with double density - this is how your drawings will look on Retina displays (most iOS devices). Finally, the Infinite precision mode previews your drawings with infinite precision - no matter how far you'll zoom in, the drawings won't be pixellated.
Canvas display modes do not affect the generated code in any way. The generated code is always resolution-independent and will work perfectly on any display. We've designed these modes mainly to aid you during the drawing process.
When you properly align your drawings into the non-Retina mode pixel grid, you can be 100% sure that the drawings will stay sharp (properly aligned to pixel grid) even on displays with higher pixel density. On the other hand, if you use Retina or Infinite mode, it is possible you'll draw somethings that looks sharp on Retina displays, but is in fact blurry on non-Retina devices.
Because of this, you should use non-Retina display mode as a default, and only occasionally switch to Retina or Infinite display mode to check out how things look on higher pixel densities.


1900년대 초, 미국사회의 하층계급을 형성하고 있는 흑인들에게는 범죄와 매춘 그리고 마약이 소일거리였다. 아이들은 철길에 앉아 쓰레기더미 속에서 찾아낸 음식찌꺼기를 먹으며 놀았다. 어린 루이 암스트롱의 삶도 그렇게 시작되었다. 1913년 1월 1일, 열 세살이 되던 해 설날 루이 암스트롱은 소년원에 들어간다. 죄목은 '총기난사'. 설날을 축하하는 불꽃놀이와 폭죽에 신이 난 어린 루이가 의붓아버지의 38구경 권총을 들고 나가 신나게 쏘아댄 것이다. 이러한 철없는 행동으로 그도 소년원을 통해 시작하는 검둥이들만의 여정을 시작했다. 그러나 이 사건은 그의 생애에서 가장 중요한 계기가 되었다. 소년원의 악대에서 코넷을 불기 시작한 것이다.
음악에 대한 아무런 지식도 없는 어린 루이는 오직 감각에만 의존한 연주를 훌륭하게 해냈다. 3년 후에 소년원을 나온 그는 석탄배달을 하며 밤이면 술집에서 코넷을 불었다. 많은 사람들이 그의 솔로가 나오면 흥겨워했고 그의 인기는 치솟았다. 그는 금방 뉴올린즈 빈민가 최고의 연주자라는 칭송을 듣기 시작했다. 몇 년 후, 그는 세인트루이스 출신의 피아니스트페이트 메러블에게 스카웃되어 미시시피 강을 오르내리는 유람선에서 재즈를 연주하기 시작했다. 이때 데이비드 존슨이라는 멜로폰 연주자가 그에게 악보 읽는 법을 가르쳐 주었다. 1922년 킹 올리버가 루이 암스트롱을 시카고로 불러들였다.
1925년 11월, 암스트롱은 일련의 시리즈 녹음을 위해 오케 스튜디오에 들어갔다. 이것은 재즈 역사에서 획기적인 사건이 된다. 이 음반을 통해 수많은 재즈 팬들이 생겨나기 시작했기 때문이다. 그전에도 녹음은 했지만 그가 리더로 나선 녹음은 이것이 처음이다. 루이 암스트롱은 스타가 되었다. 1929년 대망의 뉴욕으로 진출한 그는 수많은 음반을 녹음했고 영화에도 출연했다. 이제 그는 세계를 정복한 아티스트가 되었다. 말년의 그는 미국의 국보급 아티스트로 추앙받았다. 소년원 출신의 검둥이에 불과했던 루이 암스트롱이 명성과 부를 얻고 미국의 국보로 성장한 것은 좌절 속에 살아야했던 수많은 흑인들에게 희망의 상징이었다.
1900년을 전후해서 뉴올린즈에서 생겨난 재즈는 미시시피강을 오르내리는 유람선을 통해 캔자스시티로 전해지고 시카고를 거쳐 뉴욕으로 전파되었다. 루이 암스트롱은 이 과정을 고스란히 밟았다. 루이 암스트롱의 삶을 재즈의 역사라고 칭하는 것은 바로 이 때문이다. 시카고에 정착한 루이 암스트롱은 엄청난 양의 녹음과 연주로 쉴새없이 바빴다. 그의 소문은 뉴욕에까지 퍼졌다. 드디어 뉴욕에 입성한 그는 이미 세계인들로부터 주목받는 연주자가 되어 있었다. 이 음반에는 이러한 루이 암스트롱의 초기 역사가 담겨 있다.
루이 암스트롱이 세계를 정복할 수 있었던 것은 무엇일까? 루이 암스트롱의 이미지로 막강한 스태미너로 불어대는 트럼펫과 구수한 허스키 보이스가 떠오른다. 그러나 그의 음악에는 열광하는 대중들이 인식하지 못하는 고도의 음악적 깊이가 있다. 그가 구사하는 트럼펫 솔로에는 정식으로 음악교육을 받지 못한 사람이라고는 생각지 못할 정도로 논리에 투철한 전개방식 내재되어있다. 섬광이 번뜩이는듯한 날카로운 사운드로 시작되는 그의 솔로는 도입, 전개, 반전, 결말이 긴장감있게 전개된다. 그의 음색은 전 음역에 걸쳐 따듯하고 부드러웠다. 특히 고음역에서 뛰어났다. 고음역은 트럼펫 연주자들이라면 모두 욕심을 내는 사운드이지만 그것이 결코 쉬운 일이 아니다. 테크닉이 발달한 요즈음의 연주력으로는 그리 놀라운 일이 아니지만 당시로서는 대단한 일이었다. 그리고 가장 중요한 것, 아름다운 선율이 있다. 그의 선율에는 자신을 피력하는 호소력이 있다. 무엇인가 말을 하는 듯한 대화적 요소로 가득 차 있기에 재즈를 모르는 이들도 쉽게 다가갈 수가 있다. 그리고 박자에 얽매이지 않은 선율을 만들어 낸다. 박자에 근거한 애들립이 새로운 자유를 얻게되었다. 이러써 그의 선율에 예술적 가치가 부여된다. 이 모든 것을 그는 동물적 감각으로 구사한 것이다.
이렇듯 뛰어난 트럼펫 연주가 있었기에 청중들은 그의 솔로를 원했다. 자연스럽게 그의 음악적 카리스마를 돋보이게 해 줄 밴드가 필요했다. 그의 밴드에는 많은 명인들이 있었지만 결국 그들 모두 루이 암스트롱의 보조역할에 머물었다. 이 결과 재즈는 집단예술에서 한사람의 스타일리스트를 중심으로 움직이는 독주스타일의 음악으로 변했다.
만년의 루이 암스트롱은 자신을 예술가로 대접하는 것에 거부감을 표시했다. 고고한 예술가보다는 많은 사람을 즐겁게하는 엔터테이너로서 만족했다. 이는 석탄배달을 하던 검둥이가 자신에게 주어진 지위와 명성을 소중히 지키려는 조심스러움에서 비롯된다. 그 이면에는 어려서부터 굶주려왔던 사랑에 대한 욕구가 도사리고 있다. 부모의 사랑을 받지 못한 그에게는 낯선 사람의 사랑이 필요했다. 그렇기에 무대에 섰을 때 쏟아지는 관객들의 갈채가 너무나도 소중했다. 뉴올린즈 거리에서 석탄배달을 하던 검둥이가 뭇사람들의 사랑을 받는 존재가 되었을 때 그는 그 갈채의 소중함을 알았다. 그는 어떻게든 이 영광을 지키려고 했다. 남이 싫어하는 행동은 절대로 하지 않는 그의 성격은 천성적이기도 했지만 끝까지 사랑을 받으려는 심리가 작용했음을 부인할 수 없다.
1900년 뉴올린즈 태생의 루이 암스트롱이 이제 탄생 100주년을 맞았다. 그와 함께 재즈의 역사도 100년이 되었다. 그 동안 재즈는 너무나도 많은 변화를 거쳐 오늘에 이르렀다. 재즈는 항상 새로운 모습으로 변형되어 가는 속성을 지녔다. 루이 암스트롱이 처음 재즈를 연주하던 뉴올린즈는 이제 재즈의 고향이 되었고 루이 암스트롱은 역사의 인물이 되었다. 그러나 현존하는 많은 재즈연주자들의 음악 속에는 루이 암스트롱이 개발해낸 주법과 표현양식이 들어 있다. 루이 암스트롱은 영원한 재즈의 대명사인 것이다.
What good is there denying you're all that I desire?
Though it consumes me. the kiss of fire!!!
I touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flying Those devil lips that know so well the art of lying And though I see the danger, still the flame grows higher I know I must surrender to your kiss of fire Just like a torch, you set the soul within me burning I must go on, I'm on this road of no returning And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes My whole world crashes without your kiss of fire I can't resist you, what good is there in trying? What good is there denying you're all that I desire? Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be Don't pity me, don't pity me Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me Though it consumes me, your kiss of fire I can't resist you, what good is there in trying? What good is there denying you're all that I desire? Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be Don't pity me, don't pity me Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me Though it consumes me. the kiss of fire!!! Aaah Burn me!!!
I thought I'd found the man of my dreams.
I thought for once it couldn't go wrong.
They play their game without shame, and who's to blame?
I thought I'd found a man I could trust.
I thought I'd found the man of my dreams. Now it seems, This is how the story ends: He's goin' to turn me down and say, "Can't We Be Friends?" I thought for once it couldn't go wrong. Not for long! I can se the way this ends: cNever again! Through with Love, Throught with men! They play their game without shame, and who's to blame? I thought I'd found a man I could trust. What a bust! This is how the story ends: He's goin' to turn me down and say, "Can't We Be Friends?"
And travel each bend in the road.
Pennies in a stream, Fallen leaves of sycamore Moonlight in Vermont. Gentle finger waves, Ski trails down a mountain side Snowlight in Vermont. Telegraph cables they sing down the highway And travel each bend in the road. People who meet in this romantic setting Are so hypnotized by the lovely Evening summer breeze, Warbling of a meadow lark, Moonlight in Vermont.
Just you and I beneath the stars.
A summer night's magic, enthralling me so.
Under A Blanket of Blue.
Under A Blanket of Blue Just you and I beneath the stars. Wrapped in the arms of sweet romance The night is ours. Under A Blanket of Blue Let me be thrilled by all your charms Darling, I know my heart will dance Within your arms. A summer night's magic, enthralling me so.

Global set

boost::xpressive::set — Used to create character sets.

Synopsis

// In header: <boost/xpressive/regex_primitives.hpp>

unspecified set;

Description

There are two ways to create character sets with the 'set' identifier. The easiest is to create a comma-separated list of the characters in the set, as in (set= 'a','b','c'). This set will match 'a', 'b', or 'c'. The other way is to define the set as an argument to the set subscript operator. For instance, set[ 'a' | range('b','c') | digit ] will match an 'a', 'b', 'c' or a digit character.

To complement a set, apply the '~' operator. For instance, ~(set= 'a','b','c') will match any character that is not an 'a', 'b', or 'c'.

Sets can be composed of other, possibly complemented, sets. For instance, set[ ~digit | ~(set= 'a','b','c') ].

Q: Can't pass param to the service object i have problem with passing parameter from my concern to the Service object.
It shows me:

Can't verify CSRF token authenticity. // it shows this as an info, cause i am skipping it
ArgumentError (wrong number of arguments (given 0, expected 1)):
app/services/task_manager/task_destroyer.rb:6:in `initialize'

In my opinion i am passing parameter correctly:
// production_controller.rb
skip_before_action :verify_authenticity_token
protect_from_forgery with: :null_session

def destroy
  TaskManager::TaskDestroyer.new.destroy_task(params)

  respond_to do |format|
    format.json { render json: @tasks }
  end
end

// app/services/task_manager/task_destroyer.rb
module TaskManager
  class TaskDestroyer
    def initialize(params)
      @params = params
    end

    def destroy_task
      // code of the method i call
    end
  end
end

A: You're passing it incorrectly
TaskManager::TaskDestroyer.new(params).destroy_task

new passes it to the initialize method of the class

Dams, lakes to be constructed to protect Hurghada from floods
Al-Masry Al-YoumAugust 19, 2017
Red Sea governor, Major General Ahmed Abdallah, said Saturday that construction on seven different sites to establish three dames and four lakes is in the works, to protect Hurghada from potential floods.
He pointed out that work has begun on the dams of al-Hawashiyah vally to protect the city of Ras Gharib from the danger of flooding, in addition to putting up a barrier on Wadi al-Darb Lake to protect the center and the south of the city.
He pointed out that the work being carried out in the Om Maleka valley is the establishment of a lake with 600 meters long, and 150 meters wide, with a storage capacity of 180 thousand cubic meters. Maleka is one of four lakes being created to protect the city.
Heavy floods usually hit Hurghada and Ras Gharib in October and disrupt roads and facilities in the cities, as well as block people from leaving their homes.

Is there a way to know riders gave me low rating before I rate them?
I'm curious as to what crime she thought the driver had committed, that she went to the police to file charges.
What to do with persistent repeat requests?
I always put it back on Uber "I don't mind stopping, but it can't be for more than 2 or 3 minutes. Uber gets pissed off if the wheels aren't turning, they tell drivers to cancel after 3 minutes and make you order a new ride."
How exactly is this "improving" the experience? By forcing us to leave empty? By forcing us to drive further? By forcing pax to wait longer for a ride? Taking away that close in turn around loop was bad enough. This just F'ing sux.
You passed on that ride that's 10 minutes away. 30 seconds later, you passed on it again. Another minute goes by, and there it is again! Maybe now you'll take it? HA!
I am surprised. That they admitted the truth, for once.
Is Lyft screwing me when I go offline?

How far is Atlanta from Sacramento? Here's the quick answer if you have friends taking shifts as driver so that you can make the entire trip by car without stopping.
Now let's assume you have a private jet and you can fly in the fastest possible straight line between Sacramento, California and Atlanta, Georgia. Because of the curvature of the Earth, the shortest distance is actually the "great circle" distance, or "as the crow flies" which is calculated using an iterative Vincenty formula. For a long distance, this appears as a curve on the map, and this is often the route that commercial airlines will take so it's a good estimate of the frequent flyer miles you'll accumulate as well.
The straight line flight distance is 392 miles less than driving on roads, which means the driving distance is roughly 1.2x of the flight distance.
Your plane flies much faster than a car, so the flight time is about 1/9th of the time it would take to drive.
This is a fairly long flight, so unless you have a Gulfstream G650 or your own Boeing or Airbus, you might be booking a commercial flight. In that case, your travel time would really need to include how many minutes to get to your local airport, wait for security, board and taxi on the runway, land at the other airport, and get to your destination. Scroll down to see a more realistic calculation that takes into account all these factors to get a more accurate estimate of your actual flight time.
Realistically, you're not going to want to drive without stopping all the way from Sacramento to Atlanta, especially if you're the main driver. So let's say you're actually planning a road trip to Atlanta, and you need to stop along the way to rest. Plus if it's a real road trip, you might want to check out interesting stops along the way, eat at great restaurants, and find a hotel to stay overnight. That's what Trippy is perfect for, helping you figure out travel plans in detail.
Drive for about 5 hours, then stop at Sequoia National Park and stay overnight.
The next day, drive for about 6.5 hours, then stop in Seligman and stay overnight.
The next day, drive for about 5.5 hours, then stop in Albuquerque and stay for about 1.5 hours. Next, drive for another 4 hours then stop in Amarillo. Stay overnight.
The next day, drive for about 4 hours, then stop in Oklahoma City and stay overnight.
The next day, drive for about 5.5 hours, then stop at Pinnacle Mountain State Park and stay for about 1 hour. Next, drive for another 3 hours then stop in Memphis. Stay overnight.
Finally, drive for about 5.5 hours and arrive in Atlanta.
Now finally, let's look at an actual flight from SMF to ATL on Air France and figure out how long it would take to fly including take-off and landing, and time to taxi on the runway.
So now we can finally get an idea of the total travel time from Sacramento to Atlanta including time spent getting to/from the airports, an estimated wait time of 2 hours at the airport for TSA security lines and waiting at the gate, and the actual flight itself.
Trippy has a ton of information that can help you plan your trip to Atlanta, Georgia. Start by reading the Trippy page on where to stay in Atlanta. If you're looking for a place to stay, you might want to check out W Atlanta - Midtown. A great place to eat might be The Varsity. Trippy members can suggest things to do in Atlanta like Georgia Aquarium. Check out some of the questions people have asked about Atlanta like Great, reasonable places to eat. . Click the button below to explore Atlanta in detail.
The distance is the same either way if you're flying a straight line (or driving the same roads back and forth). But for a real trip, there can be plenty of differences so go ahead and check the reverse directions to get the distance from Atlanta to Sacramento, or go to the main page to calculate the distance between cities.


Give Yourself Time: A common assumption is that you should be able to jump into bed and fall asleep within minutes. But if you talked to a sleep expert, they would tell you that being able to fall asleep in that manner means you're actually sleep deprived. Because sleep isn't something that's supposed to come instantly, you need to give yourself time to relax and unwind. Even if it's just for thirty minutes before bed, starting to unplug and not worry about things like work will help you when you actually do lay down in bed.
Cut Caffeine: If you're worried that sleeping well is going to require you to give up your favorite caffeinated beverage, you'll be relieved to know that's not the case. However, if you're drinking caffeine throughout the day, you're interfering with your sleep more than you realize. Although you may not feel it, caffeine stays in your system for significantly longer than most people assume. As a result, your best bet is to limit your caffeine consumption to before noon. This will ensure that your body has plenty of time to process the caffeine before it's time for you to get in bed.
Exercise Earlier: Getting at least thirty minutes of exercise a day can make it much easier to drift off to sleep at night. The one catch to this recommendation is you don't want to exercise right before bed. If you do, you'll pump up your body to the point where it's hard to relax. While working out in the morning provides additional benefits, exercising after work is also fine as long as you give yourself a window of at least four hours before going to bed.
Stick to a Schedule: If you commit to getting up and going to bed at the same time each day, you'll find that your body begins to naturally adjust. When it comes to sticking to a consistent bedtime, it's useful to establish a routine. To not only sleep well but also beautify your skin, you should make applying Nocturne Night Repair wrinkle cream part of this routine. Because this product is designed to provide deep moisture, it will work to reverse signs of aging as you rest.

What Can You Do About Loose Neck Skin?
If you've noticed that the skin on your neck is starting to sag, you're likely looking for a way to restore its firmness. Even if you're happy with the condition of your face thanks to the good care you've given it, sagging neck skin can ruin your ability to enjoy a more youthful appearance. Loose or wrinkled neck skin often gives away our true age – but this doesn't have to be the case.
Botox: While using Botox for sagging neck skin isn't a true neck lift, it's often advertised as one. Because the official Botox company website only recommends forehead use, having it injected in your neck can be especially risky. Specifically, improper administration can result in trouble swallowing. Additionally, this is only a temporary solution. Because it requires new injections every three months, the cost can become quite significant.
Surgery: As with any surgery, a neck lift comes with quite a few risks. And even if the procedure is successful, the recovery time is at least a month. The other downside to this option is its cost. Depending on where you live, a neck lift can cost between $7,000 and $10,000.
Gadgets: Whether it's an electronic mask your put around your head or a device that you stick beneath your chin, there are all types of gadgets that claim to fix loose neck skin. If you've ever flipped on your TV when you couldn't sleep, you've probably seen at least one of these gadgets in action. As you may have guessed, they're nothing more than a waste of money. Additionally, even if someone is skeptical about a gadget, what they probably don't realize is some of these products can actually damage their skin.
Are There Any Safe and Effective Solutions for Loose Neck Skin?
Neck Firming Cream: This product improves cohesion between skin layers. There are two key ingredients that make this cream so effective. Neck firming cream contains both sodium hyaluran and a peptide complex. While you may assume that hyaluronic acid would dry out skin, it's actually an extremely powerful moisturizer. And since collagen production slows down with age, the role of the peptide complex is to boost this production back to its previous levels. Best of all, because neck firming cream is 100% paraben-free, you can use it without any worries!

Most depictions of St. Bartholomew (also known in the Gospel of John as Nathanael) fall into one of two categories – with skin or without. Legend has it is that he travelled throughout the known world preaching the Gospel before he was eventually martyred by being flayed alive and then crucified upside down.
What I appreciate most about Pierre Le Gros the Younger's depiction of St. Bartholomew (from the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran in Rome) is the fact that he is shown holding the knife and offering his flayed skin as a sacrifice to God, a symbol of his total surrender to the love of Christ that met him under a fig tree. Bartholomew first learns of Jesus through the witness of Philip who tells him that he has found the one "about whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote." Bartholomew is skeptical, but is invited by Philip to see for himself. What he finds is a man who notices him and sees him in a very profound way.
This exchange between Philip, Bartholomew, and Jesus reminds me of the words in 1 John 4.19, "We love because [God] first loved us." Before we notice Christ, he notices us and calls us. Jesus met Bartholomew while he was standing under a fig tree long before Bartholomew ever met Jesus. This example of God preceding grace moved Bartholomew so deeply that he immediately left all that he had and followed Christ.
These questions are ones that are often considered by those in evangelical Christian traditions who describe themselves as "born again"; but my experience is that this question is not considered with the same intentionality in so-called mainline Christian communities. As difficult as it might be to ponder this question individually, scripture sets a clear precedent that peoples' lives are changed the very moment that Jesus notices them. Each of us has a "fig tree" moment wherein the trajectory of our lives is altogether different because Christ notices us.
I want to share with you a "fig tree" experience of my own, a space where I am certain I came face-to- face with the Lord of Life. It was baptism. Baptist churches practice Believer's Baptism – baptism based on the profession of one's faith. I am not sure how my mother got around this rule, but I did not actually ask to be baptized. Our pastor "opened the doors of the church" one autumn morning, my mom signaled to the usher, and the rest is history. That moment was a "fig tree" experience because I was carried into my baptism and my new life in Christ in the arms of my mother's faith.
I have a lot of conversations with Christians who have never thought about their spiritual journey with any intentionality. Many feel as though they do not have a story of God's presence in their lives. What I have found to be true in most of these cases is that people do not lack spiritual experiences; they lack sufficient language to articulate and understand the experiences they have. They assume such things only happened to Bible characters or great religious women and men.
But I deeply believe that each of us has at least one "fig tree" experience when God comes really close to us, where we come really close to God, and where we were empowered to go forward far beyond our own strength.
Do yourself a favor today: think about where you see God in your life and the life of your family. Talk it out. Write it down. Share stories of faith. You might be surprised at what people might have to say. Bartholomew truly believed in Christ and instantly followed him through the darkness of Calvary, to the glory of the Resurrection, to the utmost parts of the world and beyond.
His journey began by being noticed. Maybe ours begins by noticing.
What might your 'fig tree' moment be?
Great article – it did make me think about such moments in my life, so thank you for that.
I also like this rendering of St. Bartholomew; I hadn't heard the story of his martyrdom before I saw it, and couldn't understand what I was seeing. Shocking, in a way, but also profound in that he's shown as whole in his body.
Thank you! Writing this piece was a great opportunity to reflect on my own "fig tree" moments… and to learn more about Bartholomew's gnarly death.
"His journey began by being noticed. Maybe ours begins by noticing." <— Love that. Thank you!
Thank you. It's a helpful spiritual practice for me… one that is easier said than done.

Q: Rails: Create controller instance variables for each entry in the table In my controller's show method, I am having trouble creating an instance variable for each 'Subject' in my database. The "@pie_correct" variable works, but the problem is in the ".each" loop - I get the error "syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting keyword_end"  How should I change this?
@pie_correct = TestQuestions.where(:correct => true).joins(:test).merge(Test.where(user_id: current_user))

Subject.all.each do |s|
  "@subject_ + #{s.id} + _correct" = @pie_correct.joins(:question).merge((Question.all).joins(:subject).merge(Subject.where(id: s.id)))
end

Thanks.

A: You're looking for the instance_variable_set method:
Subject.all.each do |s|
  instance_variable_set "@subject_#{s.id}_correct", @pie_correct.joins(:question).merge((Question.all).joins(:subject).merge(Subject.where(id: s.id)))
end

I also believe that you don't need the pluses within your interpolated string.

I wanted to raise a point about your system here. Why are you setting multiple instance variables?
At a loss for any other reason why, I'd recommend this goes against the DRY programming principles of Rails, as well as the Single Source Of Truth idea - which means you need to set data once, and use it as you wish.
I would personally set a single instance variable, and loop through that to pull the associative data.

Q: Unable to attach an res.send(result) in my Nodejs to send data to angular app I have made a Nodejs and angular2 app where i need to integrate them to Neo4j app. I am able to hit the Database from my NodeJS code coming from Angular2 but then i am unable to send that data back to angular2 app. If i give
 res.send(result)

anywhere in my function tmsServer , i get error -->
 inside catch = Error: Can't set headers after they are sent.

Please help. I want to send my data back to angular app.
tmservercontroller.js
   // Require Neo4j
   var neo4j = require('neo4j-driver').v1;

  var path = require('path');
  var logger = require('morgan');
  var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
  var express = require('express');

  var router = express.Router();

   var app = express();

  // Create Driver
   const driver = new neo4j.driver("bolt://localhost:11001",
   neo4j.auth.basic("neo4j", "Virtuallib1"));

 // //View Engine

   app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));

   app.use(logger('dev'));
    app.use(bodyParser.json());
    app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: false }));
    app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')));

  var session = driver.session();
  var request = require('request');

   var finalResult ;

   router.post('/', tmsServer);
   module.exports = router;

   function tmsServer(req, res) {

    session
       .run('MATCH (n) RETURN n LIMIT 5')

       .then(function (result){

           result.records.forEach(function(record){
               console.log("record = ", record);
               console.log("result = ", result)
               console.log("1]
   record._fields[0].properties=",record._fields[0].properties);

                    res.send(result);
           });

       })

       .catch(function(err){
        console.log("inside catch = "+err);
    })

    res.send('It Works');
    session.close();
   }

neo4j-primary.component.ts
   import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
   import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

 import { ToasterService } from '../toaster.service';

  import { FormGroup, FormControl, FormBuilder, Validators } from
 '@angular/forms';
   import { Http, Response, Headers } from '@angular/http';
  import { config } from '../config';
  import { Subject } from 'rxjs';

  import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
  import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';
  import 'rxjs/Rx';
  import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

  // Statics
  import 'rxjs/add/observable/throw';

 @Component({
  selector: 'app-neo4j-primary',
  templateUrl: './neo4j-primary.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./neo4j-primary.component.css']
  })

 export class Neo4jPrimaryComponent implements OnInit {

 constructor(private http: Http,  private notify: ToasterService) { }

 ngOnInit() {
this.viewNodesStart();
    }

  emptyObj1;
   emptyObj;
   info;

   // -------------------------------  Nodes Entire Data -------------

  viewNodesStart() {

console.log("INSIDE viewNodesStart()")

// Nodes Value

   console.log("inside Nodes Value");
  var data = localStorage.getItem('token');

 console.log("data is=>",data+ "emptyobj1 = "+ this.emptyObj1);

   var url = config.url;
   var port = config.port;

   var object = {
    "emptyObj" : this.emptyObj
    }
    this.http.post("http://" + url+":" + port +
    "/viewNodesStart",this.emptyObj1)
  .map(Response => Response)
  .subscribe((res: Response) => {

    console.log("XXXXXXXXXXXX Response on /viewNodesStart", res);

    this.info = res;

    if (this.info.statusCode == 200) {
      console.log("Data added successfully");

    } else {
      console.log("Data is not inserted")

     }
     });

   }

   }

A: You can send the response back ONLY once, you have an asynchronous operation running while you send the response "It works" and again sending the response with actual data.
res.send sets response headers to object which should ideally happen once during the request lifecycle.
function tmsServer(req, res) {
    session
     .run('MATCH (n) RETURN n LIMIT 5')
     .then(function (result){
       result.records.forEach(function(record){
         // This will execute only when the promise is resolved and data is returned from database.
         res.send(result); // (RES02)
       });
     })
     .catch(function(err){
      console.log("inside catch = "+err);
     })

     res.send('It Works'); // (RES01) <--- This runs before RES02
    session.close();
}

The solution to your answer is to remove RES01.
