I have Wolfgang Puck's pressure cooker and use it often. I have the older model(without the handle) and it works good so I won't be replacing it until it dies. I love Chef Ming Tsai and look forward to trying some of his kitchen equipment. He's always entertaining and eternally youthful. I really want to know his beauty secrets!
I'm confused on how long to cook. Many people say "Lots of recipes on line". However, those recipes are intended for stove top pressure cookers and not electric. So when a recipe says "10 minutes on high and then 20 minutes on low" what do you do?
I LOVE my Simply Ming pressure cooker. I received it three days after the first presentation and have been using it every few days since. It is great! My older other brand now sits. Rice and pasta require 1-2 tbs oil or butter to keep from frothing issues (as states in the manual) and have worked perfectly for me. Soup, roasts, and corn on he cob are all winners. Online is a great source for cooking times and recipes, I had no issues finding any.
Hi, I received the pressure cooker, but the recipes are so difficult to read, even with my glasses. I think I would like to enlarge them, but if anyone does know of a cheaper way , please let me know.
If you type in the item number 408-720, even if the unit is sold out, you will be able to read reviews.
They keep saying it is sold out and then more are put up for sale in limited colors and at a higher price. Also, when they become available, the demonstration videos come back so you can watch those as well. Sold out…videos go away again. I am looking for a replacement gasket for this unit and wrote to HSN in a seperate post. If you would like to read about my recent experiences I just posted on this blog earlier today. Search Ming Pressure Cooker. HSN has responded to my blog that they are going to try to find me an answer. That sounds more promising than all the non-answers I got before, and all the phones call they had ME making still coming up empty handed.
Im not sure if anybody caught this, but yesterday HSN had the recommend cook times on the site so I took pict with phone.
As noted in another review, there was no chart included. Also, the instructions indicate not cooking pasta dishes and NOT putting the pot in a dishwasher while the program shows a pasta dish and states that the pot is "dishwasher-safe" The rack provided is all metal but the booklet states that metal will scratch the pot, suggest using a rack w/silicone-treated feet.
Watch out if searing or braising in the pot as it discolors fast. Use a pan.
Just received mine, BUT no cooking time card for food! During the presentation they showed a chart, and they said ot came with it, so not sure where to go from here for simple food making.
I'm still waiting for mine. I was reading some pressure cooker books to learn how to convert recipes, and found out that the best cookers are 15 PSI (pounds per square inch), HSN didn't know what his cooker's PSI was, so they gave me the number to his company. Well, it's only 7 PSI, the woman said it might get up to 10 PSI depending on the liquid, so I am rather disapointed, it won't cook as fast. But I'm going to stay hopeful and give it a try, perhaps that PSI is normal for electric cookers since they operate at a lower PSI than stovetop models.
Anyone here a pressure cooker guru?
I have the Elite and love it. I am sure you will love the Ming. It will change the way you cook and enjoy cooking.
I am waiting to get it from UPS. I hope it is a good one!


Joachim Loew knows exactly what he has in Thomas Mueller. Nothing with the 24-year-old can surprise him anymore. "He can't puzzle me further. I have experienced so much with him", said the German national coach, when he spoke of "match winner" Mueller. The Munich player, who had prompted the 2-1 (1-0) win over Scotland with two goals at the start of the European Championship qualifications, possesses a distinctive hunger for goals. Loew had also been creative with his newest discovery. Thus once again he unveiled a surprise for most of the 60,200 spectators in Dortmund.
In the right defensive position on Sunday evening Loew lined up a player wearing the number 7 shirt and the family name "Rudy". But by putting Hoffenheim player Rudy, 24, who earned only his third cap, as did his counterpart on the left side, Erik Durm, 22, into the four-man defence, did signal the beginning of new experimentation. Retirements and injuries had forced a reformation of the team, minus established key players, to meet the strong Scots just eight weeks after the World Cup triumph in Rio de Janeiro.
Sebastian Rudy is originally a defensive midfielder. The Black Forest-born player held this position in the U21 selection of the German Football Association (DFB) until last year, and also plays there for his club. "I simply thought it looked a good alternative to put him at right back, and he did a good job", Loew said, stressing that he will soon have to take more unusual decisions. "We have to improvise in the upcoming months", the national coach explained, preparing the fans for a phase in which the top-ranked team in the world will logically lose quality compared to the World Cup competition.
The realignment is also the price for the fourth World Cup title, with the energy-sapping World Cup tournament forcing many players to their limit. Bastian Schweinsteiger went far beyond, while Sami Khedira's ruptured muscle could also be due to the thrashing in June and July. Loew said that Khedira would possibly be missing also for the October qualifiers. Against the Scots it was Marco Reus, who received treatment for some time before being led off the pitch limping shortly before the final whistle. The diagnosis came on Monday: the midfielder suffered an injury to his left ankle joint, just as he did in the last pre-World Cup friendly against Armenia, causing him to miss the World Cup. With a partly ruptured outside ligament and an overexpansion of the tarsal ligaments he will be out for four weeks. The second injury of the key player will be of more concern to Borussia Dortmund than to Loew. Schalke player Julian Draxler, Loew's alternative for Reus, had also been injured during the 4-2 loss to Argentina in the friendly match four days earlier.
According to Loew the fact that the team "lost a bit of control of the match" in the second half in Dortmund was because all players from the World Cup squad have not reached peak fitness at this stage of the season. This could clearly be seen with central defenders Benedikt Hoewedes and Jerome Boateng, causing the defence to be slightly shaky in the second half. Toni Kroos and Mario Goetze too, still not fully recovered from the World Cup efforts, are not in top shape. But one at least functioned normally in front of the opposing goal. "If you have a player such as Mueller, who can jump 2.50m high, you cannot prevent goals. Mueller simply is a unique machine", said Scotland's coach Gordon Strachan about the FC Bayern striker, who has scored eight goals in the last nine international matches.
Loew need not worry unduly about the offence, but has clear problems in the defence. The national coach no longer intends to play with four inside defenders as at the World Cup, which would be possible with Hoewedes, Boateng, Hummels, and the possibly soon returning Holger Badstuber. And a three-man defence is not included in Loew's concrete planning, although he has concerned himself with it. In the future he wants to bring in outside defenders who play offensively.
With the upcoming matches this year against Poland, Ireland and Gibraltar as well as in Spain, further newcomers could follow Rudy in getting a casting opportunity: The Freiburg duo Oliver Song and Christian Guenter, as well as Wolfsburg's Sebastian Jung, fulfil the defensive tasks in the outside positions in the Bundesliga, while Stuttgart's Antonio Ruediger, also named by Loew as an alternative, plays in central defence. Kevin Grosskreutz is no longer among the candidates, Loew made quite clear. But Loew has often proved that he gives returnees a new chance, which could also hold true for Marcel Schmelzer, Marcell Jansen and Dennis Aogo if they reach top form.
One fact is certain -- a Philipp Lahm, with his class, will not be replaced for a long time. But with the entire team Loew will continue to bid for understanding that could repeat such performances seen at the World Cup again only at the 2016 European Championship.

As technology moves from desktop to handheld to wearable (connected fitness bands, smartwatches, Google Glass), one might wonder if microchipping is the next step in our tech evolution. The answer is an emphatic yes, according to CBS's "Intelligence," a new suspense series that airs Mondays (10 p.m. ET/PT). Josh Holloway plays Gabriel, a high-tech intelligence operative enhanced by a supercomputer microchip in his brain, which gives him unfettered access to the Internet, Wi-Fi, telephone, and satellite data -- info he uses to protect the US from foreign enemies. On the show, actor P.J. Byrne ("The Wolf of Wall Street," "Horrible Bosses," "Final Destination," "The Legend of Korra," and "The Game") plays Nelson Cassidy, whose father developed the chip. Byrne chatted with me about "Intelligence," being jealous of costar Josh Holloway, the ethics of microchipping, and his favorite apps.

Empty Planet
Darrell Bricker
John Ibbitson
For half a century, statisticians, pundits and politicians have warned that population growth is spiraling out of control, threatening to overwhelm the earth's resources. They are wrong. Empty Planet shows why exactly the opposite will soon be upon us.
A radical, provocative argument that the global population will soon begin to decline, dramatically reshaping the social, political and economic landscape. For half a century, statisticians, pundits and politicians have warned that a burgeoning planetary population will soon overwhelm the earth's resources. But a growing number of experts are sounding a different kind of alarm. Rather than growing exponentially, they argue, the global population is headed for a steep decline. Throughout history, depopulation was the product of catastrophe: ice ages, plagues, the collapse of civilizations. This time, however, we're thinning ourselves deliberately, by choosing to have fewer babies than we need to replace ourselves. In much of the developed and developing world, that decline is already underway, as urbanisation, women's empowerment, and waning religiosity lead to smaller and smaller families. In Empty Planet , Ibbitson and Bricker travel from South Florida to Sao Paulo, Seoul to Nairobi, Brussels to Delhi to Beijing, drawing on a wealth of research and firsthand reporting to illustrate the dramatic consequences of this population decline - and to show us why the rest of the developing world will soon join in. They find that a smaller global population will bring with it a number of benefits: fewer workers will command higher wages; good jobs will prompt innovation; the environment will improve; the risk of famine will wane; and falling birthrates in the developing world will bring greater affluence and autonomy for women. But enormous disruption lies ahead, too. We can already see the effects in Europe and parts of Asia, as aging populations and worker shortages weaken the economy and impose crippling demands on healthcare and vital social services. There may be earth-shaking implications on a geopolitical scale as well. Empty Planet is a hugely important book for our times. Captivating and persuasive, it is a story about urbanisation, access to education and the empowerment of women to choose their own destinies. It is about the secularisation of societies and the vital role that immigration has to play in our futures. Rigorously researched and deeply compelling, Empty Planet offers a vision of a future that we can no longer prevent - but one that we can shape, if we choose to. ...

I have been seeing quite a few recipes condoning and centered around the use of 'sugar free' or 'diet' products lately. Since I am challenging myself and following a Paleo eating method, aspartame or any processed sweet like that is already 'off-limits', but I was sad to see so many people not realize the setbacks and problems that using aspartame while baking can bring.
I thought more people knew the horrid effects that 'sugar free' means especially when it contains aspartame. Aspartame has a long and disguised history in our food. In fact, the FDA would not even make it legal for use because of the cancerous and detrimental effects it had on lab animals. That was of course until… in 1974 a company who made saccharine and lobbyists got it pushed through approval and deemed 'safe' for consumption in food and beverages. However, what millions were not told is there are many different guidelines surrounding its use and how much is appropriate to consumer were also disclosed. Of these the FDA never condoned heating aspartame – EVER. Read about those restrictions here. Why you might ask?
Well remember when it came out that cigarette companies hid the truth about the danger of cigarettes? Well I as well as many nutrition minded people firmly believe that aspartame has been modeled as a golden child in the calorie counter's eye. "Zero Calories – No Fat! Good for you!!" Although it is tolerable and our bodies mostly deal with our consumption of it, it just like any other chemical entering our bodies and cannot be good for us. It's basic physiology, aspartame is not an ingredient you find hanging from a tree or growing in a field, it is made and refined in a laboratory.
Well our bodies simply have a very hard time processing and figuring out what to do with the 'sweetener' once it is consumed.
"Too much aspartate or glutamate kills certain neurons by allowing too much calcium into the cells, the influx triggering free radicals which also kill the cells. Some diseases linked to the damage caused by this cell death include hearing loss, dementia, memory loss, hormonal problems, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis. Acute reactions to the excess aspartate and glutamate include headaches, nausea, fatigue, sleep problems, and vision problems." From Aspartame – The Truth.
Further when Aspartame is heated up above 30 degrees Celsius (that's high 80s for you non-metric kids) the absorption of another property of saccharine … methanol. Methanol is of course very toxic to humans and when ingest in other forms such as the kind at the gas station causes blindness and severe optic nerve damage. Remember that time some genius invented the diet coke and brownie recipe? I stand by my Cupcake method – if you're gonna eat something bad go whole hog and use the real stuff at least your body knows how to process that stuff more easily.
"Symptoms of methanol poisoning include headaches, buzzing in the ears, dizziness, nausea, gastrointestinal problems, and memory lapses. One of the most well known symptoms of methanol poisoning is vision problems. Fruit juices and alcohol do contain small amounts of methanol but the methanol is never present alone in natural products. It is accompanied by ethanol which is an antidote for methanol toxicity in humans." From Aspartame – The Truth.
There is a lot of debate about the specifics of the process of your body metabolizing aspartame and its effects, and whether you agree or do not, I think it should be a reminder of using other natural sweeteners to substitute for processed sugar. Some great methods that are now popular and available are agave nectar and stevia. Both are natural sweeteners that are in fact easier for your body to process than the sugar we see on tables in diners.
I'll end this blog by saying that I still find myself drinking a diet soda, but I try to make the right choices – I choose Hansen's Brand or my favorite calorie-free guilt-free soda Zevia. We even have a SodaStream and make our own sodas from organic fruits and vegetables which are beyond amazing – seriously the fake chemicals we try to fool ourselves into liking taste nothing like the real honest ingredient. This book on Amazon is great – Homemade Soda you don't even need a machine to make the sodas just some fizzy water!
I also follow these alternative cooking blogs – they use lighter/healthier methods to cook traditionally fatty/high caloric/gluten filled foods. See you won't need that aspartame any more! I'll save my next food rant for Splenda which contains ARSENIC!!! Ugh capitalist food production – such a lovely process.
Dashing Dish – there's a lot of god talk on here, but her recipes are great.
PaleOMG – a fun and recipe filled Paleo blog from right here in Denver!

To China's rulers, the cupidity of officials is a political crisis
Corruption is certainly bad, but it once emboldened Chinese power-holders to take useful risks
ChinaJun 27th 2020 edition
IN CHINESE, AN official sacked for corruption is said to have "fallen off a horse". The phrase rings with the age-old satisfaction of watching the high and mighty plunge face-first into mud.
Eight years after its launch by President Xi Jinping, the largest anti-corruption campaign in Chinese history remains wildly popular, notably because it has unhorsed not just light-fingered Communist Party chiefs in villages, but big-city mayors and members of the Politburo. More than 1.5m individuals have been disciplined for graft since 2012, including both "tigers and flies"—a phrase favoured by Mr Xi who took power that year. Still, a puzzle lurks within that mood of public glee at seeing the haughty-but-dirty brought low. The puzzle is identified in a thought-provoking new book, "China's Gilded Age: The Paradox of Economic Boom and Vast Corruption", by Yuen Yuen Ang of the University of Michigan.
To Chinese rulers, the cupidity of the country's 50m party functionaries, civil servants and local officials is a political crisis. Shortly after becoming party leader, Mr Xi declared that corruption was "utterly destructive politically, shocking people to the core". As Ms Ang notes, the consensus among development agencies and scholars is that corruption hurts economic growth. Yet it is not hard to find ordinary Chinese who miss some big tigers brought down for graft. Exploring that puzzle, Ms Ang lists the achievements of Bo Xilai, the charismatic son of a revolutionary pioneer. As party secretary of Chongqing, Mr Bo transformed that giant inland city with foreign investments and a debt-fuelled construction boom, before being purged and jailed in 2012.
Mr Bo is accused of taking gifts ranging from a villa in France to the fees for his son's education at Harrow, a British boarding school. But Chongqing also remembers him for new roads, airports, parks, hospitals and housing for hard-up residents. The book describes other swashbuckling, risk-taking leaders who were toppled for corruption but are still remembered fondly. One such is Ji Jianye, who transformed several cities in the eastern province of Jiangsu, earning the mostly admiring nickname "Mayor Bulldozer". To Ms Ang, their careers reveal something important about Chinese corruption, and how it manages to be both rampant and co-existent with 40 years of rapid economic expansion.
Arguing that conventional measures of corruption are too crude, Ms Ang "unbundles" graft into four varieties. First there is petty theft. Perhaps involving a traffic policeman demanding and pocketing a fine, such corruption poisons economies. Then there is grand theft, eg, a dictator looting the central bank. That is also toxic to economies. Third is speed money, as when a shopkeeper pays a bribe for a permit that might otherwise never arrive. Ms Ang compares this to a painkiller that eases the agony of bad governance but cures nothing. Then comes the variety that most worries Mr Xi: access money, or high-level bribes and favours offered to powerful officials and their families, in return for contracts or other privileges. Ms Ang compares this sort of corruption to steroids. Access money can promote private investment and economic growth. That helps explain the popularity of some bent officials.
The book is not a defence of corruption. Like steroids, access money promotes unbalanced growth, it notes. Often such graft directs funds towards property deals, a swift route to riches for officials in China, where land use is state-controlled. China is especially prone to this fourth category, though petty corruption has declined over the past 20 years, thanks to dull but important things like hard-to-cheat government book-keeping. The Global Corruption Barometer, a survey by Transparency International, found that 26% of Chinese had paid a bribe to use public services in 2017, well below levels found in Vietnam or Cambodia.
Ms Ang compares China's early phase of economic opening to America's Gilded Age, when 19th-century robber barons suborned politicians to let them build railways, private monopolies and commercial empires. Public anger prompted the transparency drives and social reforms of the 20th-century Progressive Era.
Relying on the bums to throw themselves out
Admirers of Mr Xi may call his anti-corruption campaign a new Progressive Era. Ms Ang is not so sure. For one thing, China lacks the muckraking journalists and throw-the-bums-out elections that helped America reform. In contrast, its purge is secretive and top-down. Studying 54 city-level party secretaries felled for corruption, Ms Ang finds a correlation with the sacking of a mentor above them in provincial patronage networks. Worse, Mr Xi has been "simultaneously straitjacketing the bureaucracy and clamping down on social and political freedoms", squeezing entrepreneurial impulses in business and civil society.
Ms Ang is convincing about the economic risks of Mr Xi's drive for conformity. But the party's focus on politics is also rational, says Feng Chucheng, a political-risk analyst at Plenum, an independent research company. He notes that historically lots of bribes were paid by one official to another to secure a promotion, rather than by entrepreneurs to enable economic development. Other abuses of power involved no cash at all: helping a relative jump the queue for housing or a rationed car licence plate, for instance. Indeed the public is arguably more angered by social inequalities than by embezzled money. Mr Feng cites a singer, Tong Zhuo, who casually boasted during a broadcast in May that rules were bent to secure his place at a famous drama school. Viewers erupted. To date, 21 officials in two provinces have been punished, including Mr Tong's stepfather, a mid-ranking party functionary.
One effect of the purge has both economic and political consequences. Officials at all levels of government are more risk-averse and reluctant to innovate, says Mr Feng. Ms Ang describes outright paralysis among decision-makers. She adds that corruption's true root cause is the state's enormous power over the economy. That, alas, is a horse that the party is unwilling to dismount. ■

This presentation is designed to introduce your students to a variety of factors that contribute to strong, well-organized writing. This presentation is suitable for the beginning of a composition course or the assignment of a writing project in any class.
Lastly, all rhetorical situations occur in specific settings or contexts or environments. The specific constraints that affect a setting include the time of author and audience, the place of author and audience, and the community or conversation in which authors and/or audiences engage.
"Time" in this sense refers to specific moments in history. It is fairly common knowledge that different people communicate differently depending on the time in which they live. Americans in the 1950s, overall, communicate differently than Americans in the 2000s. Not that they necessarily speak a different language, but these two groups of people have different assumptions about the world and how to communicate based on the era in which they live. Different moments in time can be closer together and still affect the ways that people communicate. Certainly, scientists discussed physics somewhat differently the year after Einstein published his theory of relativity than they did the year before Einstein published his treatise. Also, an author and audience may be located at different times in relation to one another. Today, we appreciate Shakespeare's Hamlet a bit differently than the people who watched it when it first premiered four hundred years ago. A lot of cultural norms have changed since then.
Similarly, the specific places of authors and their audiences affect the ways that texts are made and received. At a rally, the place may be the steps of a national monument. In an academic conference or lecture hall or court case, the place is a specific room. In other rhetorical situations, the place may be the pages of an academic journal in which different authors respond to one another in essay form. And, as mentioned about authors' and audiences' backgrounds, the places from which audiences and authors emerge affect the ways that different texts are made and received.
Community / Conversation
In various rhetorical situations, "community" or "conversation" can be used to refer to the specific kinds of social interactions among authors and audiences. Outside of speaking about rhetorical situations, "community" usually means specific groups of people united by location and proximity like a neighborhood; "conversation" usually refers to fairly intimate occasions of discussion among a small number of people. But in regard to rhetorical situations, both of these terms can have much larger meanings. In any given rhetorical situation, "community" and "conversation" can refer to the people specifically involved in the act of communication. For instance, consider Pablo Picasso who used cubism to challenge international notions of art at the time he painted. Picasso was involved in a worldwide "community" of artists, art critics, and other appreciators of art many of whom were actively engaged in an extended "conversation" with differing assumptions about what art is and ought to be. Sometimes, authors and audiences participate in the same community and conversation, but in many instances, authors may communicate in one community and conversation (again, think of Shakespeare four hundred years ago in England) while audiences may participate in a different community and conversation (think of scholars today in any other country in the world who discuss and debate the nature of Shakespeare's plays). The specific nature of authors' communities and conversations affect the ways that texts are made while the specific nature of audiences' communities and conversations affect the ways that texts are received and appreciated.


So, if your home is starting to look dated you are probably watching the current trends. While some have become less 'trendy' and more of a must have; some will last a few years and gradually cycle again down the road. Then, others are here today and gone tomorrow in this age of 'disposable décor'. It is almost impossible to predict what will happen over time. All we can be sure of is that there will be another trend that we will like because our tastes change. That being said, choose carefully – you may want an affordable avenue to incorporate a trend that inspires you to display your personal style, and be sure to invest in timeless choices for bigger elements of your home.
Well, as we have seen for the last several years, the open concept design is still very prevalent in today's home and renovation designs. Instead of being considered 'trendy' at this point we need to acknowledge that the open concept is the new way for today's family and social dynamic—everyone sharing a space and being involved. What appears to be noticeable though is that it is not necessarily about expansive rooms as much; people are opting for open but cozier spaces. A place they can feel enveloped with sophisticated, luxurious comfort in their sanctuary.
Now a priority, energy efficiency is not a trend. Mandated through building code requirements for new builds and renovations, energy efficiency is being taken very seriously. Homeowners are also requesting sustainable materials, grey water recovery systems, hot water on demand, and greater efficiency for appliances and LED lighting systems to keep their energy costs and carbon footprints to a minimum.
Again, this year landline telephones will likely not be in high demand. Many homeowners are opting to use just their cell phones and are incorporating wi-fi and/or hardwired lines for the newest technologies and the creation of the "smart home". Apps on a cell phone can control security cameras/systems, appliances, climate control, window coverings, lighting, entertainment systems, and access to homes, and these are often all part of new designs.
Colours of the year – The pantone colour for 2019 is Living Coral – 16-1546, described by Pantone as 'a coral hue with gold undertones. 'The Benjamin Moore colour of the year is Metropolitan AF-690, a subtle grey. Benjamin Moore has also unveiled a series of 15 coordinating colours in the their 2019 colour palette. The Sherwin Williams colour of the year is 'Cavern Clay and Behr's is 'Blueprint'. The palettes seem to be designed with a more calming warmth than previous years…perhaps for a tranquil oasis away from the hustle and bustle of our current lifestyles.
Mixed metals will still be trending. Although rose gold is being replaced with easier to incorporate warmer metals like subtle gold, black, pewter, copper, silver, or nickel shades.
The elegance will likely be brought in this year by wallpaper and mural selections on walls, velvet on sofas, chairs, and bedroom linens, luxury carpet materials, and a mixture of modern and vintage accents, with one of a kind artisan pieces such as lighting pendants, custom cabinet handles, chandeliers, décor ornaments, tables, etc. Something as simple as a velvet throw pillow can amp up the style and make a room more luxurious.
No longer stashing away those prized possessions – display of those artisan pieces - specialty vases, boxes, 'one of a kind' finds. They are going to be incorporated in the kitchen design and the rest of the house in 2019.
Wallpapers made a comeback in 2018 and it is carrying into 2019 as well. Many new wallpapers and furniture materials have exaggerated proportions of florals and bold colours. Some popular wallpapers have gradual changes in lines and colour, or a single texture paper creating a calming environment. And then there is the photo illusions, modern murals, and metallics that are also big this year.
On the opposite spectrum, rooms are also being designed for sophistication by using a monochromatic collage of warm neutrals with mixed textures-- Using warmer embracing tones of beige instead of grey from previous years. Beige may sound boring, but paint stores have developed shades of it that resemble ancestral golds, linen, sandy beaches, caramelized, etc. Just a change of name, takes 'beige' to a whole new level of warmth and interest. Grey is not out … after all, Benjamin Moore's colour of the year is grey.
Ceilings again are being adorned with crown mouldings, wallpaper, paint colour and wood moulding embellishments or beams instead of the standard white ceiling in 2019.
Concrete can be used for floors, countertops, wall décor and backsplashes. Don't want to commit to that? Well, concrete finishes are not for everyone…and they last for a long time! Choose carefully.
The focus for interior design will be less on the tech look and more on tranquility of spaces in our homes – softer, luxurious, warmer surroundings. Using less signage or word art and more paintings and colours, antiques and mixtures of vintage and modern. An appreciation of the past and recycling seems to be prevalent.
While white for bathrooms will always be the traditional choice for luxury, in 2018 and 2019 black tiles and fixtures may be achieving a dark luxurious look in both traditional and modern styles - that can be unequaled in elegance if done properly. High end luxury ensuites are still a trending indulgence for 2019.
Floating vanities that make small rooms look larger or less cluttered are a continuing trend. They come in a variety of sizes for powder rooms or larger contemporary ensuites.
Soaker tubs, accent tiles, and luxury bathrooms with walk-in glass showers, and built-in shower caddies, niches, benches are still in high demand. Homeowners are still expropriating spaces from connected rooms to enlarge their bathrooms and create a tranquil retreat.
Making use of outdoor space at the end of a summer workday and on weekends has brought outdoor rooms from trendy to a must have in some form. Here in Niagara many people love to sit on their decks or patios and share drinks and good food with their family and friends when they have time to spare. Not all of these spaces have the latest and greatest outdoor features, but many home owners are looking to make their backyards into an extension of their living space. Because of that, many appliances for an indoor kitchen can be found in a version for an outdoor kitchen. An area to dine, and relax are often formed around an outdoor fireplace or firepit. The right outdoor furniture can be as comfortable as indoor furniture. Just remember we do have winter and snow and ice is a factor—choose carefully and keep in mind storage.
We are also seeing more homeowners looking to extend the useful life of their patios by adding roofs, screened in porches or converting entirely to a sunroom with folding glass doors for an open-air feeling.
Large flagstone and tiles for outdoor patios are still trending.
For years, there have been a lot of marble accents available. It is unlikely that marble will ever go out of style, but there can be too much of a good thing. Be selective – don't overdo marble. Too much marble can make the 'look of class' you may be going for appear to be the opposite. Marble can look amazing but keep in mind it requires maintenance.
Kitchens with clean countertops continue to trend, so appliance garages and countertops that charge phones without cords are being incorporated to achieve the desired 'uncluttered' effect. Two-toned painted cabinets, mixed materials for cabinets and countertops (eg. quartz and butcher block countertops, stainless/metal and painted wood cabinets etc.), and farmhouse sinks, unique tiles are creating a whole new personalized look for kitchens.Open shelves, deep drawers instead of cupboards, and single level cabinetry are all options increasing in popularity as well. Drawers instead of cupboards can be especially useful!You may want to tread carefully as these items are all investments and are not necessarily easy to change.
For years now, white shaker style kitchen cabinets have been popular— 2019 is no exception. But this year, you will likely see more pops of colour added to white kitchens via painted islands or pantry cabinets, etc. You may even see white cabinets being entirely replaced with navy blue ones, or black, cream, green, olive or reddish tones. Some finishes are steering away from shiny to a more matte or powdery finish. Once again, if your budget does not include granite or quartz, there are exceptional laminate designs that look like the real thing but are far more budget conscious. Surfaces not only need to be fashionable; they need to be easy to maintain. Quartz remains popular again this year.
Kitchen cabinets, sinks, and faucets are all becoming available in bold painted colours. If the past is indicative of the future, this trend will change. Therefore, be cautious with where you place bold colour—it is sometimes better to incorporate it on a wall that is easily painted, or in accessories that can be easily changed. You may want to choose colours for large ticket items carefully in order to protect your investment.
Kitchen sinks, notably aren't usually that interesting to most, but the trends increasing in popularity will certainly change that. Sinks in a variety of colours are popular already, sinks with metallic accents or imprinted patterns are also popular, deep sinks, farm style ones and separate sinks for food and washing of dishes are not new but still desired. Not new as well, but certainly increasing in desire is the incorporated counter and sink work station which is a whole level above other sinks. These stations include an inset sink that can be disguised when not in use – this is particularly convenient for condo owners or those that entertain a lot. This option enables a person to turn their island into a dinner party food or workstation by covering their sink with coordinating sliding or removable cutting boards, ice trays, condiment or garnish serving board dishes, cover systems, etc. The kitchen sink does not have to be a hinderance to your counterspace needs.
Appliances are still popular in stainless steel, but there are options for dark matte ones that decrease the appearance of fingerprints. Appliances in commercial grades are available for home kitchens still. Some are high tech much like everything else; There are touch and swipe controls for induction stoves, steam ovens that are gaining in popularity, sync'd appliances so that everything works together for efficiency and a perfectly timed meal, Bluetooth kitchen accessories, retro designs on modern appliances, viewable and smart fridges with phone apps, etc. Technology will always be trending –since it is ever evolving.
Apartment size appliances are becoming more readily available for condos, nanny suites, in-law suites, etc.
The kitchen hood fan will likely be a concealed one in 2019…making your kitchen design more seamless.
Light switches and outlets are not new, but now available in smart options that work with your phone and security systems, and options for 'no touch' switches-- just a 'wave of your hand', there are more choices for home owners to make. There are also choices for different finishes for plate covers instead of the traditional standard ones.
Subtle patterns and subway tiles are less popular than in the past several years. They are being replaced by more modern bold, intricate, and unique patterned tiles. Backsplashes and floors are big investments. If you want to make an impact with tiles, you may want to use bolder tiles as a focal point above a stove or in one area of the kitchen backsplash (if possible), but use a subtler coordinating tile elsewhere--in case you choose a pattern and colour that you tire of easily. Less is sometimes more!
The other option for backsplashes is metal tiles or sheets. These are not a new trend…they are holding fast. Gold and copper are the key colours for 2019, but other metallic options are also available.
Still in 2019, colourful exterior doors are trendy. Door handles are more expensive and less traditional in shape and finish. 'Smart' options for keyless entries seem to be more popular this year. If replacing your exterior door(s), you may want to look for multipoint locks for greater security. Glass interior doors and walls appear to be increasing in popularity in 2019.

Salesforce.com, HP Partner For Private Cloud 'Superpods'

Benioff Sets Superpod Record Straight
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff finally got into the details on Superpod and ended some of the speculation late Tuesday (well after the publication of this article). Salesforce's current services run on multi-tenant "pods" that run in the company's data centers. These new HP-powered "Superpods" will have the same architecture and design -- including multi-tenancy -- but they will be dedicated to single, large customers. The applications and services will be maintained and updated by Saleslforce the same way it handles all of its other pods.
HP itself is the first Superpod customer, but the U.S. Government already has its own pod. It takes advantage of the multitenancy to run separate instances for each government agency customer. When Salesforce said this is aimed at large customers, it wasn't kidding. The way Benioff described it, it sounds like it will only be a practical option for really, really large customers on the scale of HP, the U.S. Government and so on.

Re: Superpod spin
If it is dedicated hardware, it is a hosting solution, not a cloud solution, no matter what Salesforce.com and HP want to label it as. Sure, it may have a web front end, but putting it all into an appliance makes it a remotely hosted server just like any old-school database in a datacenter. And you have an excellent about about flexibility and scalability. Can you add resources on the fly to the Superpod and remove them as easily? If not, again, not a cloud.
cbabcock,
User Rank: Strategist
A Salesforce and HP managed service
A Salesforce Superpod is "a dedicated instance in the Salesforce multi-tenant cloud," as the announcement says. I think this is a step back from Salesforce's pioneering software as a service to more of the managed service model that preceded it. This appears to be hardware and software, owned by the provider, but assigned to one user. Good for compliance, bad for cloud economics.
This is "private cloud," but it is running in Salesforce.com data centers. Think of it as "cloudy," just like many of the Oracle and SAP "cloud" options. The new concensus on "cloud" where enterprise apps are concerned seems to be that it lets you tap into apps and services without having to provision or manage the hardware and infrastructure. Another question concerns flexiblity. In what increments can you buy Superpod capacity and quickly can you scale up and down the capacity and related costs?

Wow, this is heresy. Can a private cloud instance of Yammer be far behind?
Laurianne,
Superpod spin
Fascinating that Salesforce, which preached that private cloud was not cloud, vocally and for the longest time, is calling this arrangement Superpods. That sounds much more hip than private cloud, doesn't it? And much better than datacenter-in-a-box.
Perhaps Salesforce creative adviser Will.i.am got in on the naming action?
HP's New Friends Are Microsoft Enemies
I'm guessing it's no coincidence that HP has been rubbing elbows with the likes of Google and, now, Salesforce.com (rival of Microsoft's Dynamics enterprise apps business). Ever since Microsoft put big money into Dell's privatization (as in billions), there's a chill in the air where the once-strong HP-Microsoft partnership is concerned.

Q: Long Term Package Mirrors I am having a bit of a tricky packaging problem with my Trusty Ubuntu cloud machines.  I understand that Trusty is currently in "beta", so I can appreciate that I sort of have to just deal with it.  But there is a wider problem, and I'm looking for a general solution to it.
Basically, an important package (unbound) for my infrastructure got broken by an upgrade.  Since the Ubuntu archives automatically delete old versions of packages (which effectively makes it a rolling release distro, a point for another day...), I am not able to use the basic apt tool to downgrade to the last version.  In particular, what I'd like to do is say:
sudo apt-get install unbound=1.4.21-1ubuntu2

and have apt-get install that version.  But since it is not in the repositories, the command won't work:
$ sudo apt-get install unbound=1.4.21-1ubuntu2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Version '1.4.21-1ubuntu2' for 'unbound' was not found

I understand I can use dpkg -i to install the package.  But that solution does not work for me -- I'd have to change my hammer to deal with a defective nail.
So, is there any "long-term" repository mirror I can use?  A mirror that methodically keeps at least a few older versions of each package?

A: In general the structure of apt repositories does not allow for multiple versions of a package to be present.  A list of all package mirrors for Ubuntu can be found at Launchpad.  Since Ubuntu inherits from Debian the apt repository system, the description there of the repository format helps explain how it is set up.  An example of where a directory on the archive may contain multiple versions but for different releases would be in the pool for xubuntu-docs where there are versions for each separate release but not multiple versions per release.

Maryland group applies indigenous knowledge to a solar home: BTN LiveBIG
Eli Kaberon, November 18, 2017
For the past two years, nearly 400 University of Maryland students have worked to build a house.
This wasn't just any house. The team of students, known as reACT, used creative and innovative techniques to create an energy-efficient, solar-powered home.
The reACT team is a combination of architects, engineers and project managers, who are working together to not just build one house, but to change the development process of the entire housing industry.
In October, reACT earned second place at the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon 2017, held in Denver, placing higher than teams from universities around the country and from as far away as the Netherlands (Northwestern also made the Decathlon's top 10).
The competition asks teams to use those two years to create an energy-efficient home powered by sunlight, while also considering innovation, water re-use, smart energy and market potential. There are also criteria for cost-effective architecture, energy-efficient heating and cooling, occupant health and comfort, and communications.
"Our team always knew that our design was a strong contender in the competition," said Malik Johnson-Williams, reACT's deputy project architect. "We lived by the credo that 'If it was not innovative then it was not worth doing.'
Johnson-Williams says the last few months before the competition were the most arduous. "There were many moments when morale was low and there were doubts that our efforts would pay off" he said. "However, after seeing the excitement in a visitor's eyes as they toured our home on the first day of public tours, as a team we knew that we had made something special."
The inspiration for the Maryland team's house came from the Indigenous Knowledge System (IKS), which are the traditions and rituals used by indigenous people.
"IKS refers to the knowledge systems developed by Native communities over thousands of years," said Angela Stoltz, the team's student leader for client relations. "It is based upon learning derived from traditions, cultural practices, and rituals of everyday life that have been the foundation of knowledge for indigenous people.
This system was merged with many modern techniques to make the home energy efficient. The reACT house featured a unique HVAC system that embraces solar power and specific water systems depending on the situation, minimizing waste of the valuable liquid.
"Our aim was to contribute to the thoughtful and respectful integration of indigenous knowledge with scientific data, analysis, and innovation," said Stoltz. "So the rich body of IKS can inform science and in turn, science can contribute tools that would allow indigenous communities to make informed decisions."
Embracing the indigenous system allowed reACT to create a home with Native American principles, but apply them to a contemporary lifestyle.
With the second place finish in the Solar Decathlon, reACT earned a $225,000 prize. But more importantly than the money, the members of the team hope the home they built inspires the entire housing industry. Team members want to be part of a new wave of architects and developers who create homes that benefit the environment and utilize the energy-efficient methods shown in the contest.
"At the Solar Decathlon 2017, we engaged in conversation with people of all ages, from small children to those well into their seventies, around enhancing our way of life while simultaneously attending to the impact we have on our environment," Stoltz said. Teachers, students, engineers, architects, representatives from solar organizations and locals were all interested in the technologies that are integrated in the design of reACT."
"The Solar Decathlon showcases that creativity and ingenuity of America's young professionals," Johnson-Williams added. "Each year, teams model the incredible potential within every student to create something world-changing. These kinds of fearless, world changing ideas are exactly what we do as Terps.

Home » The Unruly Ascetic » It's just like riding a bike.
Dropping back is like riding a bike (but not because you never forget how to).
Students frequently ask why they should try to stand up and drop back before doing the backbends of the Intermediate series when those postures seem so much more approachable. I have a very long answer and about fear and trust and big picture ideas that includes the bicycle analogy (which falls flat on some Russians I know who never bothered with bike, what with all the snow, so I already know it's not universal).
When I learned how to ride a bicycle I took a pretty all-or-nothing approach. I practiced coasting and tried out the training wheels, but didn't do much more to prepare for the big day when I expected my Dad to be holding me and he didn't and I fell and everything turned out fine. The next day I tried again and maybe I fell a little less hard or maybe I ate it, but either way I was out on my own. It wasn't until after I had a pretty good feel for the general mechanics of balancing while steering and pedaling or braking that I attempted to specialize in any one aspect of it. Hell, I would forget how to do any or all of those pieces if I got distracted or had too much fear. But time passed and I built up reflexes and soon I was able to focus my attention on shifting gears up hills and skidding my tires as I braked in a swooping arch (and 'soon' in childhood bike riding is much like dropbacks, it may be days, weeks, or years, depending on your aptitude and how much you practice).
Riding a bike for the first time is scary. Sitting on the bike while stationary and practicing braking or putting the bike on a trainer and practicing pedaling will not truly teach you how to make it to the tour de france. It might give you some little hints to keep in mind, but in reality there isn't going to be space in the mind for the little things until you have figured out the big picture. Once you can ride a bike, steadily and completely, without help and with without too much fear, then you can worry about more detailed maneuvers.
The real message: drop backs do not have to be that big or hard or scary. Kapotasana is another story altogether for many of us and each Intermediate backbend in teaching the body something specific and necessary to be able to turn the work of drop backs into Kapotasana. Dropbacks are the foundation on which we build a more acute awareness of back bending in the beginning of Intermediate. Without this foundation we may gain a lot of great information, but be left unable to put it together functionally or usefully.
Other schools of Yoga use these postures for different purposes (entirely valid and useful purposes). In the Ashtanga method every posture is intended to teach us something specific, to be used as the foundation to build on later. They each come as the appropriate time in the learning curve. Training wheels are encouraged (dropping back with your teacher) and you can coast as long as you need to before putting your feet on the pedals (just plain backbends from the floor) but without actually trying to coordinate everything as once, specializing in the parts won't be as effective.

Matt Kuhns takes a somewhat nostalgic look back at Marvel trading cards from the 1990s and cites that as the noticeable distinction between then and the current seeming '90s revival that's underway in comics now.
The Jack Kirby Museum is looking to set up a temporary/"pop-up" physical museum during this November, December and January. They're asking for a little help, and have some more details about what they're hoping to accomplish.
The Northeast Modern Language Association has issued a call for papers on the subject of "Masculinity in superhero comic books and films." I point this out not as a need to counter recent women's issues and concerns in the comic book industry, but as a corollary to it. That is, if there's a better understanding of what problems/issues/concerns women are facing vis-à-vis why male comics are often so misogynistic, that can lead to more robust/active solutions. Of course, if the papers in question wind up just being a glorified rah-rah-yay-men-testosterone-love-fest, then we could probably do without it.
Cheers, man. The shirts are looking good, meanwhile, and I see you already have at least one write-up. Good luck!

Rights Group faults AG for Chemmani prosecution delays
[TamilNet, Thursday, 05 January 2006, 12:10 GMT]
Noting that "six years after the exhumation of the graves however, the police were only able to tell the court that as there have been no instructions forthcoming from the attorney general's department, they have been unable to proceed with the case," the Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC), in a press release issued Thursday, accused the Attorney General's Department of "failing in its duties promptly and effectively prosecute perpetrators of serious crimes," and urged the AG's Department to "immediately initiate effective legal proceedings on the basis of the Chemmani exhumation."
"The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) understands that after the exhumation, the forensic experts submitted their reports to the attorney general's department and steps were also taken for DNA identification of some of the uncovered remains. As a result, two of the bodies were positively identified.
"Under any other justice system, the next step would be the filing of indictments at a high court. Six years after the exhumation, the Sri Lankan justice system has kept the case pending in a magistrate's court with no indictments being filed. Furthermore, the office of the attorney general, the agency responsible for such matters, has given no reason for the long delay in the proceedings. This situation raises radical concerns regarding its accountability and responsibility," the press release said.
Noting other serious failures of effectively prosecuting perpertrators of serious crimes in cases including Bindunuwewa massacre and Embilipitia disappearance of 48 school children, the AHRC said, "Yet another failing of the attorney general's department is the prolonged delays in justice found throughout the country, an issue the AHRC has raised previously. These delays in court trials as well as due process amount to a clear betrayal of justice. Being primarily responsible for criminal prosecutions, the attorney general's department cannot escape its duties by blaming other agencies for the delays. In the case of Chemmani in particular, the responsibility for the lack of progress in the last six years lies solely with the attorney general."
AHRC called for the "establishment of a commission of inquiry, headed by senior members of the judicial and legal professions, as well as other imminent persons, to review the work of the attorney general's department."
The Asian Human Rights Commission is a regional non-governmental organisation monitoring and lobbying human rights issues in Asia. The Hong Kong-based group was founded in 1984, the Organizations website said.

All human achievement can be summarized as a series of actions. However, normally we find long descriptions of atomic actions alienating. We intuitively recognize that small actions come from larger narratives and models of the world, which 1098 hand movements would completely miss. These narratives and models can themselves be the products of narratives and models, in this way there is a ladder of abstraction between mental constructs that generate many possible sub-constructs and those that result mostly in actions.
Observing people who seem to employ skills very high on the ladder of abstraction, I notice they would have a hard time transferring them to others. I think that the usual assumption here is that these skills are intrinsic, someone gets them as a result of who they are. However for many of them I think the causation is actually backwards. You start with the skill, and getting better at it changes who you are. One axis of variance for skills is how much using them changes the user. All skills provide at least a little change, if nothing else you can now accomplish a task you couldn't before. However some mental constructs weave their way into everything once they sink their roots. I refer to skills that are cause-neutral and usable by anybody as tool skills, they change the user only in slight ways. By contrast, skills that cause great change in the user I refer to as persona skills. Someone who gets great at conversation, to the point where they can have a conversation go well consistently will change their entire social outlook. Mastering the art of hurting people psychologically, will influence every coping mechanism and conflict resolution strategy you develop afterwards in negative ways. One woman I know claims to have trained herself so she can forget things at will, which almost certainly impacts how you look at the entire human experience.
So perhaps for things like this, it goes in reverse. Before learning the skill you were different, you thought about things a certain way. After learning the skill, it started to creep more and more into how you thought about things, slowly changing you until you rely on the skill for large parts of your 'skill tree'. As a consequence, when people look at you and ask how you how to do things that rely on great conversations or hurting others with words or making yourself forget, you shrug. The truth is that you can't explain it to them, not easily anyway. In all likelihood you've forgotten how you learned the skill. It seems like they'd have to be an entirely different person first.

Our son has been at KAMA for a little over a year and he absolutely loves it! The instructors are all wonderful. They really love the kids and are so enthusiastic. They have high standards and they hold the kids to them. Since our son started karate, we have noticed him improve in several areas such as coordination, physical fitness, and self-control. He is more self-confident also. The flexibility in the classes you can attend during the week is very helpful for busy schedules.
If you are looking for a karate program for your child to be involved in, we highly recommend Knoxville Academy of Martial Arts! We love being part of the KAMA family!
Very awesome place! We feel confident in the capability of the instructors to teach and have fun. We are very happy with the curriculum and hands on training that our son is receiving from the instructors. We love the flexibility of the schedule, and the value for the price is unbeatable! We are very happy at KAMA!

Zoë wanted to start to learn Jiu-jitsu to help with her ground defense when the class was first offered. Fast forward 1 1/2 years and she is still sticking with it and getting stronger every day. Jiu-jitsu has helped her grow her confidence and allow her to protect herself especially if she gets taken to the ground. Deuce and Ace do a fantastic job at challenging the kids and keeping them engaged with learning the fundamentals and the philosophy behind the moves. She was hooked the day I asked a much larger boy to pin her on the mat and try to hold her down. Zoë was able to take the dominant position and submit him what seemed to be effortless. Needless to say, the skills attained learning this skill will help her many years to come and allow her to defend herself when many can't.

Last week Art Basel in Hong Kong wrapped its fourth edition boasting more than 70,000 visitors—the brand's newest edition is starting to rival its sister fairs in Miami Beach and Basel, Switzerland, as a top global destination to see and be seen.
New York's Marianne Boesky Gallery brought its top gun, 79-year-old superstar artist Frank Stella.
Goodman Gallery, one of South Africa's most prominent art dealers with spaces in Johannesburg and Capetown, presented works by the internationally celebrated South African artist William Kentridge,whom is having a great show in Seoul Contemporary Art Museum at the same time.
A wonderful installation by LA based artist Pae White was also one of the highlights and last but not least the wonderful installation by Korean artist Kyungah Ham, whose pieces travel from South Korea through China to North Korea to be embroidered and sometimes goes missing.
Celebrities like Leo di Caprio and Paris Hilton were seen among the corridors and at KeeClub at night and an interesting pic by Jurgen Teller of Kim Kardashian were the cherry on top :).
I would have liked to discover more young contemporary artists from South East Asia, and Asia in general, that is what was missing in my point of view!
Keep on loving and following art!!!

Suninen ha debuttato nelle competizioni rallistiche nel 2013.

Stagioni 2014-2015

Ha fatto il suo esordio nel mondiale WRC al Rally di Finlandia 2014 guidando una Citroën DS3 R3 e in quella stessa gara vinse la classe WRC-3. Per questo risultato venne notato dalla Toyota Motorsport di Colonia che gli fece firmare un contratto per correre nel TMG Junior Driver Development Program, team minore della casa giapponese.

L'accordo gli permise di affrontare il mondiale WRC nel 2015 con il Team Oreca (scuderia francese) avendo la possibilità di effettuare 5 gare con una wild card, inizialmente con una Citroën DS3 R3 e successivamente alla guida di una Ford Fiesta R5. Ha partecipato ad altre due gare, guidando una Škoda Fabia S2000 per la scuderia dell'ex-pilota Toni Gardemeister, il TGS Worldwide OU. Ottenne una vittoria in classe WRC-3 al Rally d'Italia-Sardegna con la DS3 e una vittoria di classe WRC-2 nell'appuntamento finale in Galles con la Škoda.

Stagioni 2016-2017
Suninen rimase nell'orbita della scuderia TMG per il 2016 e prese parte alla stagione completa del mondiale WRC-2 a bordo di una Škoda Fabia R5 gestita sempre dal team Oreca.

Per il 2017 venne ingaggiato dalla scuderia M-Sport per partecipare al campionato WRC-2 con la Ford Fiesta R5 e, visti i buoni risultati ottenuti nella prima parte di stagione, nel giugno dello stesso anno debuttò nella categoria regina al Rally di Polonia, guidando una Ford Fiesta WRC ufficiale e piazzandosi al sesto posto finale; al successivo appuntamento, il Rally di Finlandia, giunse invece al quarto posto a poco meno di 30 secondi dal podio. Si classificò inoltre al terzo posto nella classifica generale del campionato WRC-2, collezionando una vittoria e 3 secondi posti di categoria.

Stagione 2018
Suninen venne promosso dalla scuderia M-Sport di Malcolm Wilson a terza guida ufficiale, per partecipare a otto eventi selezionati del mondiale 2018. Gareggierà inoltre nella categoria WRC-2 nei restanti appuntamenti.

It was a very last minute request to make a birthday cake and immediately I thought of using the No Fail Sponge Cake recipe. I have added Hershey Chocolate powder to the cake, covered with chocolate buttercream and topped with chocolate gananche. Indeed a Chocolate Overdose Cake!


Acute gastric dilatation (AGD) is one of the life-threatening complications which needs accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment as soon as possible, although it occurs rarely in anorexia nervosa. We have unexpectedly experienced a case of AGD in anorexia nervosa caused by superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome during the early stage of the treatment. An 18-year-old senior highschool girl was admitted to our hospital because of anorexia nervosa without any episodes of bulimia or vomiting. About one year before admission, considering herself overweight she had started dieting and had reduced her weight from 60kg to 33.8kg. After admission, she started taking, 1,000kcal of food by herself in addition to 200kcal of elementary diet by the tube feeding. On the 2nd hospital day, a plain chest X-ray picture showed the left-sided pleural fluid because of the pulmonary tuberculosis. The chest drainage tube was inserted on the 6th hospital day, and she was forced to lie on the bed. On the 8th hospital day, she suddenly felt nauseous and vomited. A plain abdominal X-ray picture showed the sign of AGD. A barium X-ray study on the 11th hospital day proved that the AGD was caused by SMA syndrome, showing vertical cut off sign at the 3rd portion of the duodenum obstructed by the SMA and oral side duodenal loop and the stomach were dilated. She was treated conservatively, and barium meal examination, on the 46th hospital day, proved that the signs of SMA syndrome had disappeared. After the completion of our step-by-step treatment program on the basis of cognitive behavior therapy with anti-tuberculosis drugs, she was discharged at the weight of 46.7kg, and she has been in good condition since then.
Various examples of the R0R0 (-D-/-D-) genotype have been found in England, U. S. A., Japan and Puerto Rico.The present paper reports studies of an additional family.Characteristics of these bloods as established by previous studies were also seen in our cases, and it seems to reveal a complex array of Rh antibodies.
本邦では, 透析患者の終末期において, 血液透析 (HD) が安定して施行できている患者の自己決定を尊重し, HDを中止することについての生命倫理学的研究は殆どない. 今回, われわれは, 透析医 (552名) を対象として, 安定したHDを受けている悪性腫瘍終末期症例を提示し, いくつかのシナリオに対して, HDを中止するか, 継続するかの意識調査と, advance directives (AD), 尊厳死, 尊厳生についてどのように考えているかの意識調査を全国的規模で行った.
434名 (78.6%) から回答が得られたが, 有効回答は427名 (77.4%) であった. ADおよび尊厳死が法的に認められていない現状において, ADの有無で比較すると, (1) 家族がHD中止を申し出た場合, (2) 家族がHD継続を申し出た場合とも, ADがあるとHDを中止する回答は有意に増加した ((1) 48.0%→78.9%, (2) 0.2%→2.6%). さらに延命療法を中止しても法的責任は問われないと仮定すると, ADがあるとさらにHDを中止する回答は増加した ((1) 90.9%, (2) 11.9%). ADと尊厳死を必要であると回答した透析医はそれぞれ74.0%, 83.1%であったが, 法制化も必要と回答した透析医は56.4%, 63.7%に減少した. 尊厳死と尊厳生の比較では, 尊厳生を支持する透析医は, 尊厳死を支持する透析医よりも多かった (47.1%, 15.9%).
今回の結果は, 現状でも, 透析医および家族が患者の自己決定を尊重すると, ADによる尊厳死が行われる可能性があることを示唆し, 多くの透析医がADや尊厳死を必要と考えている. 一方, 尊厳生は人間にとって非常に大切なことであり, 尊厳死よりもこの言葉を支持する透析医が多かったと考える. すべての国民は個人として生きる権利を認められており, 本邦では, 終末期にも自分が考える尊厳ある生き方を貫くということから始め, 家族および社会が納得する範囲で, 先ず尊厳生によるADが自己決定のために重要であると認識させる努力をすべきである.
