Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the commonest endocrine disorder of female at reproductive age and it's prevalence in general population as 20%–33%. Objective: The aim of this study was to measure the level of interleukin (IL) 18, IL 6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in polycystic ovary women and compare their levels with apparently healthy control group. Materials and Methods: case-control study was carried out in Basra. In this study, blood samples from 73 women with PCOS and 73 healthy control women were collected from outpatients and private gynecological clinics and primary health care centers from different area of Basra during August 2016–March 2017 for estimation of their serum levels of IL6, IL18, and TNF alpha by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. Results: It is found that serum levels of IL6, IL18, and TNF alpha were elevated in PCOS women, and we conclude that serum levels of IL6, IL18, and TNF alpha are highly statistically significance in PCOS women than in healthy control group. Conclusion: Levels of IL6, IL18, and TNF alpha were highly statistically significant in PCOS comparing to normal women, and these high levels were related to PCOS independent on the presence of obesity or hyperandrogenism.

The Breakfast Club has had some extremely humorous interviews through the years. In reality, Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee appear to have a approach of making viral moments on their present with out really having to strive. Soulja Boy's interview spent all of yesterday on the high of Twitter's traits. However, there are two interviews that stand out amongst all of them: Birdman and Tekashi 6ix9ine. Although Birdman's interview wasn't actually an interview, 6ix9ine predicted that his look on the morning radio present would develop into their largest video up to now. He wasn't mendacity.
The Breakfast Club's Instagram web page revealed that Tekashi 6ix9ine formally dethroned Birdman for many seen clip on their channel. 6ix9ine really predicted this is able to occur all through his interview on quite a few events. However, Birdman's wasn't essentially an interview -- it was extra of a 2-minute clip of stuffed with meme-worthy moments together with when he advised Charlamagne to "Put some respek on my identify."
6ix9ine's interview is at present sitting at 16.5M views whereas Birdman sits at 16.3M. Birdman's interview got here out almost three years in the past in April 2016. 6ix9ine's interview hasn't even been out for a 12 months at this level.
Aside from predicting the longer term, it seems to be like 6ix9ine has some type of optimism that he'll have the ability to resume his music profession regardless of having a life sentence looming over him. According to experiences, 6ix9ine's lawyer ready a bail bundle that features $1.5M with hopes that he'll have the ability to be out sooner or later this month. Additionally, 6ix9ine has reportedly been engaged on new music whereas he is locked up. Hopefully, when he is out, he'll have the ability to make one other viral look on the Breakfast Club.

Dai primitivi all'elettronica (From primitive to electronic) is a recording made by Futuro Antico in 1980. It features a mixture of synthesized and ethnic music, highlighting the role intonation plays in music. This theme was featured in Tappo Volante, the last Aktuala album, which featured the mixture of ethnic sounds and studio processing. The track "Echo Raga" is featured on that recording as well.

They recruited a number of musicians from India and Africa for the recording. There was an initial pressing of 350 tapes made, due to lack of major label interests. After a number of bootlegs surfaced, an LP run of 1000 was pressed.

2015 Nissan Micra review | New look and feel
The 2015 Nissan Micra.
by VaniNaidoo
Vani Naidoo
MORE than seven million Nissan Micras have been sold around the world since their introduction some three decades ago and Nissan is hoping the latest changes to both the exterior and interior of the car will help it stay current and competitive.
The 2015 Nissan Micra range has been streamlined, too, and now features just the ST (manual and auto) and the Ti (auto) grades, both boasting a higher level of specification and comfort.
Nissan has heeded criticism of the previous edition and this new-look Micra has a much-improved interior.
Fit and quality is not amazing but certainly much better as is the updated instrumentation and new centre cluster.
The front seats, with their new trim, are comfortable enough, a courtesy not extended to the rear pew, which is quite flat and upright as tends to be the case in these smaller cars.
Headroom, thanks to the bubble nature of the car, is quite good for the driver and front passenger and there are fair number of storage options too.
The double glove box is still a winner for me, a nice blend of style and practicality.
The Micra retains the zippy 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.
Handling is good, balanced decently with comfort and the Micra is able to manoeuvre easily in tight city traffic. It is neat around corners, has an excellent turning circle and is able to gather enough speed provided it is not encumbered with a full load. The manual is still our pick above the noisy CVT but even that can feel a tad unsettled on rough roads.
The previous model was quite light on inclusions but Nissan has moved here to ensure the even the entry-level ST is able to run with the best in class. Cruise control, power windows, Bluetooth connectivity with audio streaming, USB input and auxiliary port are now standard with the Micra Ti adding a 14.7cm touch-screen, satellite navigation, reverse camera, LED rear lights, 15-inch alloy wheels, rear spoiler, fog lights and auto headlights.
Safety is only four star but features include six airbags, anti-lock brakes and brake assist as well as traction and stability control.
Official combined figures are 5.9 litres/100km for the manual and 6.5 litres/100km for the auto.
There is a capped price servicing plan for 120,000km (about $290 each) and the warranty is three years/100,000km.
An improved features list, excellent turning circle and jazzed up exterior makes this a great car for the city commute. The boot is surprisingly bigger than you think but this is definitely a car best suited for a single person or a young couple.
More than half of the exterior panels have been changed with the Micra getting a sportier stance, restyled front and rear bumpers, new bonnet, guards, front headlights, rear lamps and wheels.
If small, very small, city cars are your thing then the new Micra has all the goods to keep you happy. It may not be the biggest, trendiest, most highly specced or most fun to drive but finds the kind of combination middle ground that pleases most buyers.
Model: Nissan Micra.
Details: Five-door front-wheel drive small hatch.
Engine: 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol generating maximum power of 56kW @ 6000rpm and peak torque of 104Nm @ 4000rpm.
Transmissions: Five-speed manual and four-speed automatic
Consumption: 5.9 litres/100km (combined average, manual), 6.5L/100km (auto).
Bottom line plus on-roads: $13,490 (ST manual), $15,290 (ST auto), $16,990 (ST auto).
Facelifts for 2015 Nissan Micra and Nissan Juke
2015 Nissan Navara to start from $26,490
Nissan adds SSS sedan to improved Series II Pulsar range

Gloves fit very nicely on your hand and come in many different varieties. They can be used as weapons in three different ways, as listed below. Most of the time, gloves are made of leather, but sometimes they are made of steel, cardboard, latex, rubber, Styrofoam, plastic, or polyester. Gloves must not be worn on the feet or on the knees.

History of the Glove[edit]
It all started back in the day, when there was a great conjurer. His magical powers were so great nobody in the land could rival him. Until one day! A lowly peasant boy was so cold his hand had actually seized up. Unable to move his fingers the boy the boy thought "My socks keep my feet warm, but my hand have no socks". The boy so cold, took off his socks and put them over his hands. His hands soon became to warm. Once his hand were warmed and now able to move his fingers, he soon realised that though the socks kept his hand warm he could not use his fingers properly. The boy thought again, "I need smaller socks for each finger so I can move them independently". So the boy got to work. When I say got to work, he began stealing babies socks. Once he had accumulated 6 pairs of socks (back in those days people had 6 fingers). He began to sow them together. This is how the first gloves were constructed. Once the boy had constructed his gloves he realised lots of people also suffered from cold hands. He began to try and sell his gloves, but nobody wanted to buy from a mere peasant boy. The boy decided that he needed someone famous to wear his gloves, who was more famous the the mighty conjurer. After many months the boy tracked down the conjurer and with much disdain the conjurer decided to sell the "Socks for your hand" (that's what they were originally called). As time went on the conjurer realised that he could hide objects in these socks for your hands, and so opened up more possibilities for conjuring. One morning the boy was talking to the conjurer and had something to show him. It was a pair of white socks for your hands, but these where not as crude and poorly made as previous. The boy had learned the art of a seamer. Now the boy could make these socks the exact shapes of hands and use the same colour fabric. These socks for your hands where so plush and well made, they had to give them a proper name. They decided to call them gloves, though they were never sure why, I like to think they just liked the sound of it. With these white gloves the conjurers every hand gesture was captivating. He realised that not only did they now have a fabulous product for your hands he could do shows and earn money for performing tricks. This is how gloves and street magic where born.
The Glove was originally created in 1835 by a certain Mr Glove of London. Mr Glove was a butcher by trade, he inveted the "glove" as a unique way for his customers to transport sausages. It was on one fateful morning that Mr Glove while packing some sausages into his ingenious invention was unfortunate enough to get his hand stuck in a "glove", and the legacy was born.
Gloves as weapons[edit]
Alone[edit]
Gloves can be used alone as weapons themselves. Usually, they're placed over the hand during this act and used to strike the opponent's face, nose, jaw, or balls. The most well-known methods of using gloves as weapons are:
By punching. This is usually efficient, and human knuckles are strong enough to show your opponent that you mean business. The family favorite.
By slapping. Be aware, though, some people may mistake this for a sick fetish. If they don't just shut the fuck up after you slap them, following it up with a nice, swift punch will work well.
Often, the glove is removed and the person is slapped in the face with the glove. This usually leads to a big gun fight, which is stupid because it barely even tickles.
By poking: Generally aimed at the eye. The target is blinded.
If properly starched, may be utilized as a stabbing weapon.
In conjunction with other weapons[edit]
Many times, people wear gloves to help increase their grip. It sucks dropping a sword on your foot, let me tell you.
These weapons are often used in conjunction with gloves:
Python Boots
Jade Goodey
Almost any other weapon ever made
Kinds of gloves[edit]
Leather Gloves: The standard, used by fighter-people.
Rubber Gloves: These cannot be harmed by acid and are often used while journeying through some sort of weird cave dripping with acid and other nasty stuff. However, they can't grip for shit.
Kid Gloves: Made of 100% real dead children. Super-effective against children. Kids wear these because they think they're cool, but they just look like retards.
Boxing Gloves: Worn often by people who move boxes and by kangaroos. Breaks noses very easily.
Opera Gloves: Ugly white gloves that go all the way up to the elbow. Good if you like to elbow-check people, but why call them OPERA gloves? Have you ever seen anyone get elbow-checked at an opera?
Plastic-Coated Gloves: Covered in plastic to protect it from the elements, and to add increased durability. Common in paper gloves and playing-card gloves.
Bloody Gloves - Always buy a pair a size too small so you can pay Johnny Cochran $10 million to say "If the gloves don't fit; then you must acquit".
Latex gloves: used mostly for anal cavity searches

PwC: Private Equity Will Pick Up Non-Core Assets, Drive Innovation in 2019
By Alex Spanko | January 22, 2019 January 23, 2019
National health care operators would be wise to consider selling non-core assets to expansion-minded private equity firms in 2019, according to a recent report from Big Four audit and accounting company PwC — while also looking to the investors as partners for growth and innovation.
"For years, private equity firms have invested in health care, but now the pace is quickening as they step up their presence in a highly fragmented health industry, seizing on consolidation opportunities to build a better business model," analysts from the PwC Health Research Institute wrote in the report, which identified private equity investment as a key trend for the coming year.
While the global audit firm didn't specifically point to skilled nursing in its assessment, PwC did mention the 2018 purchase of Kindred Healthcare — formerly a major player in the SNF space — by a pair of private equity firms and insurance giant Humana as indicative of the larger trend in health care finance.
"The $4.1 billion deal complements Humana's existing capabilities while capitalizing on private equity's strengths to enable growth," PwC observed.
PE firms' influence over the overall economy has grown substantially over the last decade, with $1.35 trillion in assets under private equity control in 2017 — a significant jump from $75 billion in 2006, according to a PwC analysis. This has extended into the health care space, which has seen private equity deal count balloon from 229 in 2009 to a projected 747 in 2019.
Despite the reimbursement pressures facing a variety of providers, from hospitals to post-acute care operators, health care can represent a recession-proof hedge for private equity firms that invest in a wide variety of sectors.
"As private equity firms seek to balance their investments in more volatile industries, such as technology, with investments in more stable industries that are less prone to a recession's effects, the growing healthcare industry may appear even more attractive," PwC wrote.
At face value, the private equity model of finding efficiencies and cutting costs may seem incompatible with nursing homes and other care settings, and investors such as The Carlyle Group have faced criticism for their perceived lack of investment in crucial nursing home infrastructure. But the report echoed what many in the skilled nursing world have identified as a key advantage of private equity: an increased flexibility and focus on innovation.
"Private equity investment in health care isn't going to single-handedly improve care quality, enhance the patient experience, or reduce health care costs to consumers. But it likely is fueling the efforts already in place," PwC concluded in its report.
At the skilled nursing level, this has taken the form of specialized ownership groups — frequently consisting of former clinicians — that are more willing than larger, publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITs) or banks to invest in new programs and specialities. Michael Smith, division president at the PE-owned Marquis Health Services in New Jersey, told SNN last year that the flexible investment model meant key operational changes could be made in weeks, not months or years.
"These are things that were honestly impossible with large organizations that weren't forward thinking," he said. "It's a huge advantage."
And amid the vertical integration plays sweeping the industry — most notably Welltower Inc.'s (NYSE: WELL) multi-billion deal to acquire HCR ManorCare in conjunction with hospital system ProMedica — private equity will see no shortage of opportunities to increase their sway in the coming year, according to PwC.
"Health care companies should consider selling non-core business units to private equity firms that have money to invest and may be more apt than a corporate buyer to purchase a single business unit," the firm noted. "As megadeals complete, newly consolidated entities should consider shedding non-core assets, with private equity as a potential buyer."

Q: apache-commons DescriptiveStatistics gives wrong StandardDeviation? I have this code:
    DescriptiveStatistics stats = new DescriptiveStatistics( new double[] {2,4,4,4,5,5,7,9} );
    System.out.println("var="+stats.getVariance());
    System.out.println("sd="+stats.getStandardDeviation());

I took the example from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation. The answer should be var=4.0, sd=2.0, but what I get is:
    4.571428571428571
    2.138089935299395

What am I missing?

A: getVariance() divides by n-1, here from the docs:

Returns the (sample) variance of the available values.
This method returns the bias-corrected sample variance (using n - 1 in the denominator). Use getPopulationVariance() for the non-bias-corrected population variance.

Background: typically, one has a sample from the population, and by calculating the bias-corrected (or unbiased) sample variance, the expected value of the calculated estimate equals the population variance.  I wrote sample code that demonstrates this for this answer.  And Wikipedia has background on population variance vs. sample variance.

Agency review finds some Trump administration CDC guidance was not grounded in science or free from undue influence
A review of the CDC's Covid-19 guidance has found that some of the agency's guidance during the Trump administration was not grounded in science or free from undue influence. By John Bonifield, Jacqueline Howard and Caroline Kelly, CNN
(CNN) -- A review of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Covid-19 guidance has found that some of the agency's guidance during the Trump administration was not grounded in science or free from undue influence, according to a statement from a CDC spokesperson.
The review found that some guidance "used less direct language than available evidence supported," "needed to be updated to reflect the latest scientific evidence" and "presented the underlying science base for guidance inconsistently," according to the spokesperson.
Additionally, the review identified three documents that were not primarily authored by the CDC and yet were presented as CDC documents, according to the spokesperson. The agency has removed two of the documents from its website, and updated and replaced the third.
The review was ordered by President Joe Biden's CDC director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, in response to concerns about some of the agency's guidance during the first year of the pandemic under the Trump administration.
"I am focused on moving CDC forward with science, transparency and clarity leading the way. It is imperative for the American people to trust CDC. If they don't, preventable illness and injury can occur -- and, tragically, lives can and will be lost," Walensky said in a statement to CNN.
"This agency and its critical health information cannot be vulnerable to undue influence, and this report helps outline our path to rebuilding confidence and ensuring the information that CDC shares with the American people is based on sound science that will keep us, our loved ones, and our communities healthy and safe."
The CDC review was first reported by The Washington Post.
The Trump administration repeatedly butted heads with its own medical advisers on the nature and subsequent public messaging of the ongoing pandemic. As early as February 2020, Dr. Nancy Messonnier, a top CDC vaccination expert, warned that the virus could bring severe disruption to American life, affecting schools and businesses, and told people to get ready at the same time Trump was reassuring the nation that the virus was "going to go away" and was "very well under control."
The effects of the clash were stark, with Trump appointees often taking the upper hand. Michael Caputo — a close Trump ally who served as a top official in the Department of Health and Human Services — was accused by critics of politicizing the CDC and the HHS response to the coronavirus pandemic. CNN reported in September that Caputo and his team had demanded to see weekly science reports out of the CDC before they were released, with some HHS communications officials pushing to change the reports' language so as not to undermine Trump's political message. In response to that assertion, Caputo criticized the CDC with conspiratorial accusations.
In October, sources told CNN's Jake Tapper that Messonnier was told to "lay low" as Trump downplayed the threat of the coronavirus. The Trump White House stopped CDC briefings on the pandemic last March after Messonnier warned of worsening spread and disruptions, angering the then-President.
Walensky wrote in the agency's review of the Trump administration's guidance that she had some difficulty making sense of which guidance documents had provided major new updates -- and she recommended ways in which the agency under the Biden administration can do things differently.
While conducting the review, Walensky wrote that she "found it too difficult" to tell whether a new document represented a major or very minor update to existing guidance, and to decipher what the core recommendations were in long documents.
Some documents also were removed or replaced from the CDC's website during the review. The review names the document that had been previously removed as "The Importance of Reopening of America's Schools this Fall," while the document "Overview of Testing for SARS-COV-2" had been replaced. According to the review, a link to the document "Opening up America Again" also was removed from the website.
Walensky noted in the review that "there was not a consistent practice of publicizing the supporting evidence in a scientific brief in conjunction with every major new guidance." But, she added, "We are now committed to providing updated science briefs if there is research to inform guidance updates."
Walensky wrote that the CDC "will finalize production and reviews of remaining prioritized new guidance" in the weeks ahead. Walensky laid out several recommendations for moving forward, including making it clear what scientific evidence was used for major new guidance documents, as well as planning media briefings when new guidance is released, along with several other recommendations.

The single biggest mistake most companies are making is waiting too long to start getting ready.
Jean is the former leader of Deloitte's Corporate Real Estate Services Group, where she was responsible for overall strategy, design, transaction management, facilities management, and program management for North America and India.
Digitalization will affect investments in Commercial Real Estate and how real estate is used in the future.
Jörg von Ditfurth is responsible for Global Real Estate Transformation at Deloitte. In Germany, he is a lead partner for Real Estate Consulting, which provides all services in Real Estate Transformation and Location Strategy.
What are some major mistakes companies might make as they prepare to satisfy new regulatory requirements such as ASC 842 and IFRS 16?
Jean: These new regulatory standards are mandatory, time sensitive compliance requirements. Companies that don't comply or don't prepare early enough could risk significant changes to key financial KPIs (e.g., EBITDA, debt to equity), incorrect public financial statements, or even re-audits that can impact share price.
The single biggest mistake companies could make is waiting too long to start getting ready; if you have not started preparations yet, you are likely already behind. Companies should consider lease abstraction (which can take many months), collaboration between multiple internal departments and the potential benefits of implementing an integrated leasing solution, such as Deloitte's LeasePoint.
What particular changes or progressions are expected to have the most dramatic impact on the real estate industry?
Jörg: I see two aspects that are expected to have severe effects. First, retail businesses are changing and consumers now demand more interaction between point of sale, experience with the goods to be sold, and the e-commerce environment. Second, as office building occupants shift from tenant groups toward single users there will likely also be an increase in the amount of data provided by tenants through new channels, which may lead to technology firms taking new landlord roles where they analyze data to optimize office use.
What are the potential balance sheet implications of the new regulations ASC 842 and IFRS 16?
With respect to CRE, what is one piece of advice you can give companies that you believe will be helpful for the future?
Jörg: The needs of corporate occupiers are changing and we currently observe two drivers that can influence how CRE space will be used in the future. First, the new IFRS standard will bring lease contracts onto the balance sheet and prompt corporate occupiers to adjust the way they use office and retail spaces. We will likely see shorter lease periods, more pay-per-use agreements, and a need to be more diligent in understanding how leased spaces are being used. Second, workforces are increasingly asking for more innovative real estate solutions that require an approach to CRE that takes into consideration not only physical workspaces, but also the talent agenda, information technology, and other workforce factors.

Andrew Skea – the man when it comes to spuds and carrots from the Monifieth hills north of Dundee. He has a truly encyclopaedic knowledge of the humble potato.
Luckily, he's all grown up now and can manage to collect quite a few more potatoes in a day's work. His colourful, organic spuds, like Violette and Arran Victory, are seasonal stars which we look forward to each year.
Arran Victory take their name from the island on the west coast of Scotland where they were bred in 1918 (you're looking at 100 years of spud ancestry right here). They come equipped with a distinctive violet skin, slightly sweet flavour and a sallow, fluffy flesh which gives that soft edge after par-boiling. Funnily enough, that's just what's needed for the perfect 'crisp on the outside, pillow-y soft on the inside' roast spud.
Why do we go all the way to Scotland for our spuds? Aphids, like southerners, don't like the cold up there so they're easier to grow without pesticides. Long live the highland tuber, we say.

Q: Import multiple GML files into PostgreSQL 11 I have some 50 GML files in my downloads folder, each within a child folder such as:
Downloads\Adur\Land_Registry_Cadastral_Parcels.gml
Downloads\Abertawe_-_Swansea\Land_Registry_Cadastral_Parcels.gml
Downloads\Allendale\Land_Registry_Cadastral_Parcels.gml
etc...

I want to import all 50 GML files into a public schema as a batch command. I want to name each table as per the child folder (Adur, Abertawe_-_Swansea, Allendale etc) rather than the GML file itself. The DB has the PostGIS extension enabled. I'm using pgAdmin 4 as my visual SQL DB and expecting an idiot's guide on how to do this.

A: Loading via DBManager in QGIS
use the Import Layer/File

Importing takes about 50 seconds.

This method allows for multiple files to be selected. (Or just merge all .gml files in QGIS)

ADDIS ABABA – Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe received a standing ovation from his peers at the African Union (AU) summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on Saturday as he handed over the chair of the body with a rousing speech, filled with more than his usual invective against former colonisers, imperialists, westerners, US President Barack Obama, the United Nations and whites.UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon squirmed in his seat on the podium when the 91-year-old Mugabe – still feisty despite the annual eruption of rumours about his death this month – threatened that Africa would walk out of the UN unless it was given permanent representation on the UN Security Council.
"We have asked and asked and asked for Security Council reform," he said, adding that Africans were tired of making "hollow speeches" at the UN with no results.
He said Africans were not real members of the UN — only those with white skins were members — and if they decided one day "down with the UN" they would walk out of it."If the UN is to survive, we [Africa] must be equal members of it," he said to loud applause.
The UN's headquarters should not be in New York but in a more populous country, such as China or India, or in Africa, Mugabe said.
But Mugabe also thanked Ban for working with Africa in fighting Ebola and helping to fight terrorism and in other crises.
He suggested Obama was a puppet of whites. After berating whites for "dragging Africans across the ocean" as slaves, he said those blacks might now seem free – particularly Obama.
Mugabe said that in America black people were still inferior, living in places such as Harlem in New York where education and healthcare were inferior.
Black people were shot in the streets "and nobody seems to talk about it, but today instead they still want to talk about us".
Even after colonialism, the former colonisers were still everywhere in Africa, "if not physically then through NGOs", a comment that drew much applause.
He said colonisers were also on the continent as "spies, pretenders, some say they are here in Africa to assist us, even in armed groups in our territories" effecting regime change.
At the end of his speech, which was scheduled to last 10 minutes but continued for close to an hour Mugabe handed over the AU chairmanship to Chad's President Idriss Deby, giving him a mock bang on the head with the chairperson's gavel as he did so.
He assured Deby that he would still be around if he wanted to call on him. "I will still be there – until God says, 'Come to join the other angels'," he said to loud laughter.
Mugabe raised his fist twice in a black power salute when he returned to his seat.
South African President Jacob Zuma seemed uneasy about the standing ovation, rising to his feet slowly and only after nearly everyone else had.
