The Hamlin School (also known as Hamlin School) is a private day school for girls in Kindergarten through eighth grade. It is the oldest nonsectarian, independent, day school for girls in the Western United States. Its school campus is located at 2120 Broadway, San Francisco, near Pacific Heights.

History

In April 1896 Sarah Dix Hamlin purchased the Van Ness Seminary School located at 1849 Jackson Street, San Francisco. In 1898, the school was renamed Miss Hamlin's School for Girls. In 1907, Hamlin moved to a mansion located at 2230 Pacific Avenue in San Francisco.

On August 25, 1923, the Hamlin school founder, Sarah Dix Hamlin died after a short illness. Her sister, Catherine "Kate" Hamlin operated the Hamlin School after Sarah's death. In 1927, Corenelia M. Stanwood became the new principal of the school.

In 1928, Hamlin moved to its present location, a three-story Italian Baroque Revival mansion at 2120 Broadway in San Francisco. The mansion was built in 1901 by James Leary Flood. In 1946, Edith A. Mereen supervised the school until 1958. In June 1857, the school was established as a nonprofit corporation and a board of directors was formed.

In 1961, a new classroom building was constructed on Vallejo Street that was named McKinne Hall with the main building on 2120 Broadway as Stanwood Hall. In 1971, Hamlin hosted boarders and became coeducational in grades 9-12 until the high school closed in 1975. In 2013, Hamlin celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Hamlin School.

Q&A: A look at the Apple vs US Justice Dept. court fight

By Eric Tucker And Tami Abdollah - Associated Press - Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. magistrate judge has ordered Apple to help the FBI break into a work-issued iPhone used by a gunman in the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California. Apple chief executive Tim Cook immediately objected, setting the stage for a high-stakes legal fight between high-tech region Silicon Valley and the federal government.
Here's a look at the case so far:
WHAT DID THE JUDGE DECIDE?
Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym, a former federal prosecutor, ordered Apple Inc. to help the FBI hack into an encrypted iPhone used by Syed Farook, who along with his wife, Tashfeen Malik, killed 14 people in December in the worst terror attack on U.S. soil since Sept. 11, 2001. The phone was provided to him by San Bernardino County, where he worked as a government health inspector. Prosecutors say they don't know whether anything relevant is on the phone but can't access the information because they don't know the password and Apple won't cooperate.
WHAT MAKES THIS RULING SO IMPORTANT?
Federal law enforcement and leading technology companies have long been at an impasse about how to balance digital privacy for consumers against the responsibility of federal agents and police to investigate crimes or terrorism. The Obama administration has acknowledged encryption as valuable for privacy protection but, until now, had struggled to identify a major case that shows how Apple's encryption can hobble their investigations.
HOW'S APPLE SUPPOSED TO HELP?
The judge's order forces Apple to create and supply highly specialized software that the FBI can load onto the iPhone. That software would bypass a self-destruct feature that erases the phone's data after too many unsuccessful attempts to guess the passcode. The FBI wants to be able to try different combinations in rapid sequence until it finds the right one.
WHAT IMPACT WILL THIS HAVE ON OTHER APPLE USERS?
The Justice Department said it's asking Apple only to help unlock the iPhone used by Farook. The judge said the software should include a "unique identifier" so that it can't be used to unlock other iPhones. But it's unclear how readily the software could be adapted to work against other phones. And the FBI would likely share its new tool with U.S. intelligence agencies — and possibly foreign allies — that are investigating global terrorism.
Cook warned, "Once created, the technique could be used over and over again, on any number of devices. In the physical world, it would be the equivalent of a master key, capable of opening hundreds of millions of locks — from restaurants and banks to stores and homes."
WHY DO THE FEDS WANT INFORMATION OFF THE PHONE?
Prosecutors say they think the device could hold clues about who the couple communicated with before and after the shooting and where they traveled.
WHAT DID APPLE SAY?
The government asked the judge to rule in its favor in a 40-page court filing submitted without Apple's participation. After the ruling, in a strongly worded message to its customers early Wednesday, Cook warned that the judge's order would set a "dangerous precedent." He said the company was being asked to take an "unprecedented step" that would threaten the security of Apple's customers. The company defended its use of encryption as the only way to keep its customers' personal data — their music, private conversations and photos— from being hacked. The statement foreshadows a fierce legal fight.
HOW IS THIS LEGAL?
Pym relied on the 1789 All Writs Act, which has been used many times in the past by the government to require a third party to aid law enforcement in its investigation. Apple's CEO said the government was trying to dangerously expand what the law requires a third party to do. He said the government could require Apple to build surveillance software or more to help law enforcement. In a months-long federal case in New York, another federal judge has delayed ruling on whether the law can compel Apple to help the government break the security on its devices. That case remains pending.

FRANK SINATRA ORIGINAL ART LAST OIL PAINTING
In May of 1992, shortly after Sinatra completed this painting, he received the tragic news that Jilly Rizzo, his dearest friend, had died in a car accident. Tony Oppedisano (who was introduced to Frank by Jilly 20 years earlier and was very close to both men)had the painful task of delivering the news to Frank. Tony shares, "After Jilly's death, I never saw him [Frank]pick up a paintbrush again." The devistation of Jilly's passing and Sinatra's own subsequent vision problems effectively ended his enjoyment of a 50 year old passion.This bold work, according to his trusted friend Tony, is the last finished Sinatra painting.>>>>>>>>>>CLICK TO VIEW<<<<<<<<<<

Background: Cure may only be achieved through surgical resection in gastric cancer. In this paper, we retrospectively analyzed the effects of D1 and D2 dissection and type of the performed operation as well as type of the hospital on survival.
Methods: Total of 125 patients, who had been operated for gastric cancer in two separate hospitals between January 2003 and June 2007 were retrospectively studied. The patients who met the criteria of the study were divided into four groups according to the operation type. Difference between the survival rates, median survival of the patients with respect to the type of the operation and hospitals were analyzed.
Results: Of the patients, 66 had total gastrectomy + D1 lymph node dissection, 39 had distal subtotal gastrectomy + D1 lymph node dissection, 7 had total gastrectomy + D2 lymph node dissection, and 13 had distal subtotal gastrectomy + D2 lymph node dissection. Analysis of 3-year survival of the patients demonstrated no statistically significant difference between the groups with respect to the survival rates, median survival of the patients and the hospitals (p<0.05).
Conclusions: This study indicated that there was no significant difference between survivals with regard to the institution where the operation had been performed, the operation type and the extent of the dissection.

In the spring of 2014 the University of Kent invited its students to submit proposals to redesign a public space affectionately known as the 'Duck Pond' at the heart of Keynes College.
Being a resident of Keynes College at the time, I was aware first hand of the sites importance as a space for social interaction, but more importantly as a place of tranquillity amidst nature away from a frenetic daily student life. Therefore I embraced the opportunity to influence the redesign of the Duck Pond and ensure it is as valued by future students as it was by me.
My thought process began with the assessment of the different benefactors of the site, human or not, in order to understand their requirements – then facilitating these needs through the creation of three main zones. Beginning from a highly social terrace area adjacent to Dolche Vita, the proposal descends to a secluded boardwalk space on the water's edge backed by gabion-constructed amphitheatre style seating. The transition space between these two areas uses long grasses and wild plants to create a natural looking environment intended to support the 'non-human' users of the site, namely the ducks, insects and other wildlife. This is with the intention that social interaction, private relaxation and wildlife can harmoniously co-exist alongside each other.
The over-riding concept of my design was that the closer you descend towards the water's edge, the more private the spaces become, therefore the further you move away from the water, the more social the spaces become.
Having somewhere to go where you can stop, relax and think which is away from the hustle and bustle of university life is very important. It is equally important however to have access to an environment where you can meet, interact and socialise with friends, which is partly what university is about. For many people, including myself, the Duck Pond is and will continue to be that place. This competition has given me the rare opportunity to have a visual influence on a place which has been so important to my student life and hopefully encourage more people to take advantage of the benefits the Duck Pond can bring.
CASE is pleased to announce that the next CASE open lecture of 2014/15 will be given by Dr Eva Gkenakou . Her lecture entitled, Designing-out waste and building-in sustainability in the construction industry- The Principal Contractor's perspective, will be given on Wednesday, 26th November 2014 at 5.30pm in Marlowe Lecture Theatre 1.
Dr Eva Gkenakou is an environmental management specialist. Currently the UK Sustainability Manager of Brookfield Multiplex Construction Europe she heads up the company's environmental and sustainability disciplines. She has led the introduction of some innovative solutions, especially in line with the site waste management plans. She has also designed and initiated a holistic and user-friendly approach to the management of environmental and sustainability deliverables on projects from conception to construction and beyond. She has contributed to publications for the construction industry, such as the Guide to Sustainable Procurement in Construction and the Environmental Good Practice pocketbook (published by CIRIA). Eva has been recognised as one of the UK's Rising Sustainability Stars by the Building Magazine and was shortlisted for the Sustainability Executive of the Year 2014 Business Green Leaders Award.
Waste materials put a strain on all three aspects of sustainability; environmental, economic and social. The construction sector consumes more than 400 million tonnes of materials per year. Managing and disposing of waste costs the industry around 1% of turnover which can be 30%, or more, of pre-tax profit. For this reason Brookfield Multiplex makes an effort to reduce the amount of materials we waste in the first place and reuse, recycle or recover the energy of any unavoidable waste. We're aiming to make our processes leaner and greener. Through the implementation of our programmes we have prevented thousands of tonnes of waste from being generated and we have diverted nearly all remaining waste from landfill sites. The approach is based on WRAP's (Waste and Resources Action Programme- http://www.wrap.org.uk/category/sector/construction  ) five design-out waste principles and the company's practical experience. The talk will discuss how the principles have been embedded into business practice. The construction of the new University of Glasgow Hospitals will be presented as a case study on the achievements of the waste prevention programmes and also the lessons learned. This is of significance as it is an important part of Brookfield Multiplex's sustainability journey and information that will add to the knowledge of construction professionals in the area of resource efficiency.
On Monday, we attended a lecture on the Roman Forum by Professor David Watkin, one of the most important historians of our times. The "Foro Romano", visited by millions every year, has had a fascinating and vivid building history from Antiquity to the Present. During this period, the forum was repeatedly modified, and as a result, distinguishing the dates of its buildings is not always easy. Temples that seem to be ancient were in fact erected just eighty years ago. For instance, the Temple of Vesta, in its present form, dates back to the 1930s (Watkin David, The Roman Forum, p.16).
Examining views of the forum, including the famous ones engraved by Piranesi, Watkin revealed the Roman monuments in all their grace and splendour, and traced their development from the Early Cristian Times to the Baroque period. The way in which churches were integrated into old roman edifices was absolutely astonishing. On the other hand, the Nineteenth Century idealized the "magnificent Roman ruins" at the expense of more recent buildings.
After a visit to the Forum it is easy to feel disorientated as you are trying to resolve a puzzle of multiple building phases that make the monuments comparable to palimpsests. Despite the archaeologists' recent interventions to the site (considered to be "clumsy" by Watkin), the Roman Forum remains an ideal site to study Rome's history and architecture as well as the development of conservation philosophy.

Unit 5 is interested in architecture's ability to be complex and ambiguous, to be strange and to tell stories. We think architecture is first and foremost a cultural practice, capable of representing more than its own silent self. Like songs and monasteries, architecture can be a repository for the fragile stories and conditions that would otherwise be lost.
This year Unit 5 is turning its attention south of the river to London's shabby cousin, a hinterland of low-rise sprawl and failing housing projects. It wasn't always like this. Historically, being outside the City of London allowed it to be a place of pleasure and freedom. It was where you came for bear fighting or music halls, theatre or circus.
Our inner psycho-geographers contend this version of South London is not dead but merely sleeping, It's still there under the grain of the streets, in the collective memory, and capable of being revived. We will find these stories, draw them, model them. But to turn them into potent architectural strategies we need a catalyst, a counterpoint – that's why we decided to visit Venice, where the tradition of the Grand Tour has profoundly influenced London's architectural landscape over the centuries.
The Tour took in many cities but Venice is unique in seemingly having the capacity to be all things to all people, to have the ability to make manifest one's greatest convictions and to hold a mirror to one's desires, to be capable of supporting multiple narratives within the same physical space.
We will use this power to develop our own emerging ideas to take back to London. The Victorian art critic John Ruskin went to Venice, finding there the embodiment of all he felt to be true in architecture. His resultant book "The Stones of Venice", is our guide, but whereas he took a measure and pencil we took a 3D scanner to sample the fabric of the City. We selected and want to revisit in 3d in 2014 some of the elements of Venice that he chose. So we visited the current Fellows at the Venice Biennale British Pavilion and the University of Venice to share and learn more about the science of 3d scanning.
Back in London our unit projects will be stitched into multiple sites throughout Elephant & Castle & Walworth. Our briefs are concerned only with the reintroduction of pleasure, in all its forms, back into the tired urban grain. This won't be an urban makeover or regeneration gloss, but deep surgery. Like a coral transplant into a dying reef, our Venetian strategies, if inserted with enough skill and conviction, might just heal the whole.
On one level the awe of merely being in Venice, and its inexorable overload of sensory inspiration, is justification enough, but, like John Ruskin, himself spending his early childhood in Camberwell, and the seventeenth and eighteenth-century Grand Tourers before him, we also recorded, measured and analysed the city; where they used sketchbooks and etchings, we used 3D scanners.
Personally, I have always been an analogue person, understanding buildings by drawing them – a process which forces you to work out how they fit together – and there was plenty of opportunity to use this as a method of recording, but it was just one mechanism in our triumvirate of sketching, photographing and 3D scanning. It was genuinely exciting to be using the digital process of scanning, both with handheld devices and the sophisticated FARO scanner, in an almost unprecedented way which opens up a whole realm of architectural possibility yet to be explored.
"Before coming to Venice, we were somewhat familiar with the work of Carlo Scarpa. We had seen the textbook pictures of his work; the beautiful proportions and intricately designed details. However, if were under the illusion that we fully understood Scarpa, then we were about to be proved wrong.
The most fascinating aspect of Scarpa's work is it's absolute marriage with place and context. His sensitivity towards combining old and new, careful manipulation of natural lighting, his use of water and framing views, gives each of his projects something so personal to it's particular setting, that cannot be repeated anywhere else in the world.
In the Fondazione Querini Stampalia museum, Scarpa willingly allows the canal water to enter the building, and with gradual steps he is welcoming the ebb and flow to become an animated part of the building. In a place where all efforts are put in to block out the flooding; doors are blocked, shops are closed, walkways are erected; Scarpa has done the opposite and embraced this characteristic of Venice as something beautiful.
His restoration of Castelvecchio playfully combines the medieval with the modern, casting dramatic shadows and teasing curiosity to draw people through to the next space. As well as being playful and daring, Scarpa shows his most sensitive side at the Brion Cemetery where he carefully frames the view of the tomb and distant landscape to give the viewer a moment of time to look and reflect.

Transgression and ekphrasis in Le Corbusier's Journey to the East explores some lesser known aspects of Charles Edouard Jeanneret's early trip to the East focusing on the role of traditional arts and architecture that he encountered in the South-East of Europe. The experience, observation and thinking about these arts that subsequently influenced and determined his approach to art and architecture are being explored as a form of transgression and ekphrasis.
The Transgression book has been launched last week at the AHRA (Architecture Humanities Research Association) Annual Conference at the Newcastle University.
Giuseppe Rago (PhD History of Architecture) is Professor of History of Art at the Federico II University of Naples and has been Professor of History of Architecture at the Federico II University of Naples.
When compared to the periodisation dictated by traditional Florentine and Tuscan-Roman classicism, Renaissance in Naples was characterised by the survival of late Gothic elements. Under signs of a strong continuity, these elements transmitted building codes, design and language to the mature phase of Renaissance, while resisting somehow to the new language.
By combining studies on the relationship between Neapolitan architecture and episodes of Iberian late Gothic, comparisons with episodes of Islamic architecture (especially portals) during the same period in various Mediterranean Countries have been considered, trying to establish relationships among movements of workers and their patrons through economic, political and dynastic events.
The reports also support the livelihood of the late Gothic language (in its infinite variations) until the sixteenth century, breaking down the definition of Renaissance as a classical season recovering the antiquity from the fifteenth century.
In Italy, the construction industry is the most important economic sector due to its contribution to the GDP and for the number of jobs it provides. However, this sector is still dominated by small to medium-sized enterprises, whose organization and production are strongly characterised by a craft approach. Coexistence between artisanal practice and industrial management has always accompanied the evolution of the construction industry in Italy. Therefore construction remains deeply rooted in a variety of small specialisations rarely managed together with an integrated approach.
By comparison, the aim of this paper is to highlight how the "Italian" traditional approach has been shaped by mass-customized techniques for three non-standard buildings: the new Herziana Library by Juan Navarro Baldeweg; the MAXXI museum by Zaha Hadid and the Dives in Misericordia Church by Richard Meier.


I bought this for my teen daughter. She loved it, but it is very small. A man's large fit her like a junior small. I tried to order her a new one in a larger size, but it has not been available. I hope it comes back!
Ordered for my husband, but was too small. Our 12 year old daughter confiscated it for herself. It has a really nice feel to the material and a great upscale and ultra modern look. I am reordering this in a larger size for my husband. He loves it by the way.

We're excited to reveal a new extension for Chrome that we've built to help digital marketers quickly flick through a list of URLs in Chrome. Here's why we built it, what it does, and how we went about it.
To solve this, we built Slink, a Chrome extension that allows you to copy and paste a bulk list of URLs, and then simply click 'next' to load the next one. Having test-driven this tool internally for the past few months, we've found this saves a lot of time, and stops our Macbook fans making that helicopter-taking-off noise they do when they're overloaded.
Once you've added the Slink Browser extension to Chrome (find it in the Chrome store here), click on the icon and paste a list of URLs into Slink. Select the first URL and then simply click 'next' to load the next one.
Gone are the days of flicking from one tab to another or between Excel and Chrome and pasting one URL at a time. Slink will also keep track of the URLs you've already visited and can save your list across devices using Google Chrome Sync.
Slink is a time-saving tool, built for anyone who needs to carry out some form of website audit, whether you're an agency, inhouse or freelancer. It will streamline your audits, reducing the time spent doing them, which incidentally saves you money.
As we benefit so heavily from the open source communities, it's only fair that we give back, so the source code for the extension is on our GitHub.
Slink is FREE to download and use, so try it today and see how much easier your audits and testing will be. If you have any feedback or queries about Slink, feel free to get in touch.

Therapeutic targeting of adenosine receptors in inflammatory diseases
Thomas P. Shanley*, Khaled Bshesh
Adenosine, an endogenous nucleoside that is ubiquitous in many mammalian cell types, has been shown to regulate a number of physiological properties. The mechanism by which adenosine exerts its activity is via cell surface receptors. Following the identification and subsequent cloning of a series of adenosine receptors over the past 15 years, an explosion of information regarding their role in mediating adenosine effects has occurred. To date, four adenosine receptors have been identified by both pharmacological and molecular studies. These receptors are subtyped as the A1, A2A, A2B and A3 receptors, each of which has been ascribed a number of cellular physiological properties. Early research suggested that adenosine, functioning via these cell surface receptors, may mediate anti-inflammatory effects. As a result, more recent studies have examined the role of adenosine receptors in regulating inflammatory states using both in vitro and in vivo strategies. Despite the complex nature of adenosine receptor regulation of inflammatory states identified thus far, research in this area is likely to identify key mechanisms to be targeted for successful intervention. The purpose of this review is to characterise the potential of utilising adenosine receptor signalling as therapeutic targets in inflammatory disease states.

I don't know about you but I hate clutter. I really dislike tons of little things sitting around on top of the tables, shelves, and counters of my home. Everything should have a home. Be away.
The exception to this is plants. I enjoy plants in the home. I think they are a very important part of decor that raise spirits and improve air quality. I love plants. But they require space on the tops of tables, shelves, and counters. This presents a dilemma.
This weekend I found a way around this and I am very excited to share it. Hanging things on walls is a way to have those things not sitting taking up space. And, since walls look big and empty otherwise it's a clear win-win.
What I especially love about this project is that it is inexpensive and beautiful. Wall mounted flower pots can be a pricey purchase and so you spend a fortune on several small ones or buy a couple large ones. Using these jars allows the finished project to look light and artsy without breaking the bank! They are also easy to take down, care for, and rearrange!
Plant health considerations: I've chosen plants that enjoy lots of water for this project because there will be no drainage from the jars. You could put in a little more effort though and fill the bottom with rocks and a layer of fabric (to allow the water to drain a bit more) before adding soil and plants.
Step one: First fill up those jars with lovely plants!
Step two: Wrap the jars with wire to create hanging loops. I found an awesome wire in Michael's that is a thick wire wrapped in thin strips of wood. It is very strong and elegant. I measured around the top of the jar and then added three inches of wire. I stripped the wood from two inches of wire on one end and one inch of wire on the other end. Wrap the wire around tight and twist the two ends once. Fold the bits of stripped wood down between the wires and twist the wire ends a second time. Next make a loop with the longer end and twist the wire ends again. All this wire twisting can be done with your bare hands but I used some needle nose pliers!
Step three: Layout a nice design on the wall and insert the picture hanging hooks. These hooks distribute the weight in a way that makes finding studs not necessary. It couldn't get easier.
Step four: Hang your jars!
The plants and I are quite happy! I hope this inspires you to bring more plants into your home!


rvk: Didn't have time to fix this on my trip to Loviisa, so probably I can't react too fast in future either. Since it took so long to have even the first log for this cache I'm archiving it because of apparent lack of interest.
You will need a rope for this one. It's in the middle of a quite high cliff.


Parents of transgender children met with Congress members on Wednesday (January 30) to discuss the passage of the Equality Act, reported Gay Star News.
The parents came from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation's Parents for Transgender Equality National Council.
The meeting was hosted by Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-MA), who is a chair of the Congressional Transgender Equality Task Force. He was joined by Jan Schakowsy (D-IL), Alan Lowenthal (D-CA), Dean Patrick Maloney (D-NY), Mark Takano (D-CA), Jennifer Wexton (D-VA), Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA), Chris Pappas (D-NH), and Gil Cisneros (D-CA).
WATCH: Parents of trans and gender expansive youth meet with the Congressional Transgender Equality Task Force.
If passed, the Equality Act would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to ban anti-LGBTQ discrimination. The Civil Rights Act extends to areas of employment, housing, public accommodations, public education, federal funding, credit, and the jury system.
Rachel Gonzales, a parent from Texas and a member of the HRC group, said at the meeting that it's imperative the Equality Act becomes law.


Reused computers for selling in the secondary market.
Revertia is a Spanish company founded in 2010. Its primary purpose is to provide services in the management of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and contribute to the efficient use of resources. The start of Revertia is linked to the increasing consumption of electrical and electronic equipment, which has resulted in corresponding increase in the generation of WEEE.
Although we provide services to all types of WEEE, our company is mainly focused on the management of obsolete computer equipment. We opted to reuse them as the best treatment options in accordance with the European principle of hierarchy in waste management (reduce, reuse, recycle, recovery, disposal).
Many of these equipments can have a second life. Revertia tries to recover and make them reusable. When this is not possible anymore, we recycle them.
So, we promote circular economy through the reuse of WEEE and when reuse isn't feasible through the recovery of raw materials at recycling plants.
One of the most innovative aspects of our range of services is the carbon footprint analysis we carry out. This allows the positive impact on the company's CO2 emissions to be quantified, resulting from the reuse of obsolete equipment compared to the manufacture of new devices. Last year we managed 140 tons of WEEE and reused 30% of total waste managed, avoiding 250 tonnes of greenhouse emissions to the atmosphere thanks to our reusing activities.
Reducing the amount of waste generated by ensuring a more rational use of natural resources.
Reducing the extraction of natural resources and raw materials, many of them critical.
Saving the emissions of greenhouse gases.
Creating green jobs (in the last year 4 new jobs have been created).
The Spanish regulation (Royal Decree 110/2015, about WEEE) is favorable since it establishes specific targets for preparation for reuse from 2017, with a target of 3% in the case of computer equipment and small telecommunications devices. In 2018, this target will be augmented to 4%. Spain is the only country with the Belgian Region of Flanders to establish specific reusing targets separated from recycling. However, EU legislation often lacks this clarity.
We have difficulty accessing financing especially from the extended producer responsibility schemes.

Texas Surgeons Successfully Separate Egyptian Twins - 2003-10-13
A team of surgeons in Dallas, Texas, have separated two-year-old twins from Egypt, who were joined at the head. The 26-hour operation appears to have gone well.
The delicate and difficult procedure to separate the twin brothers, who were joined at the head, began on Saturday, and ended 26 hours later at midday Sunday, Dallas time. Ahmed and Mohammed Ibrahim remain in a drug-induced coma, while plastic surgeons continue the work of reconstructing their skulls and closing the wounds at the top of each young patient's head.
Doctors say the operation was possible because the two brains were almost completely separate. But they say that cutting through the maze of blood vessels in their heads without causing permanent damage was a major challenge.
In a post-operation news conference at the Children's Medical Center, Neurosurgeon David Swift described the most difficult part of the surgery. "I thin the most difficult part was actually separating Mohammed's left hemisphere from the interface with Ahmed's right hemisphere. That was a bit of a surprise for us," he said.
Doctor Swift said that, if the two boys are awake and moving their arms and legs a week from now, it will be an indication that they have survived the procedure with minimal side effects.
The two boys had been joined at the head since they were born in a small village, 800 kilometers south of Cairo, on June second, 2001. Since June of last year, they have been living in Dallas, so doctors could study them closely.
The surgeons who worked on the effort to separate the twins donated their time, and the entire effort was sponsored by the Dallas-based Cranial-facial Foundation, a non-profit group that assists children with deformities of the head.

Brussels Court Suspends Extradition of Catalan Leader Puigdemont

On Monday Spain's state attorney recommended that the Supreme Court release Junqueras, in line with the ECJ ruling. The court is expected to give a ruling in the coming weeks.
A Brussels court has suspended the extradition of former Catalan pro-independence leader Carles Puigdemont, his lawyer said on Thursday.
EU Parliament President Lifts Ban on Top Catalan Politicians
Puigdemont cheered the suspension on Twitter and called on Spain to free Junqueras from prison.
"Spain must act in the same way as Belgium has done and respect the law," he said in a tweet.
Paul Beckaert told Reuters that the Belgian judge in charge of the case had ruled in favor of Puigdemont and Toni Comin, another former member of the Catalan government, citing their immunity as members of the European Parliament (MEPs).
The Belgian federal prosecutor's office was not immediately available for comment.
The pair are wanted in Spain on charges of sedition after organizing a failed Catalan independence referendum in 2017, but Madrid's three previous extradition requests have been refused.
Another Catalan leader and MEP, former vice-president Oriol Junqueras, is serving a prison sentence for his role in the banned referendum.
Last month, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) said that Junqueras was entitled to immunity since he was elected as a member of the European Parliament in May 2019, implying that Puigdemont and Comin should benefit from the same immunity.
However it is still not clear whether they will be allowed to take their seats, despite receiving parliamentary accreditation in Brussels last month.

"Iron" Will
February 21st, 2019 in Anime, General Reviews by The Droid
I see tons and tons of anime every day, every month and every year. I try and keep as good a record as I can as to what I've seen and what needs to be reviewed, so I was flummoxed that I had not given a review on this show. Bad boy! Bad boy! "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress" ("Kōtetsujō no Kabaneri") can be best described as 'Snowpiercer meets Attack on Titan', but that falls far short as to what goes on in this zombie show.
It is the Industrial Revolution in Japan and we still have samurai, so it's about 1830 or so (It's a guess; it could be later, but not into the 1850s). Some kind of weird, virulent virus has invaded Japan that transforms infected humans into Kabane (really, zombies) and it rapidly spreads. The Kabane are the worst kind of zombies there are: they are highly aggressive, surprisingly organized, quite fast (hate those 'fast' zombies!) and damn near impossible to kill.
Traditional methods do not fully work, although I didn't really see a real attempt to blow them up or slice off their heads. They cannot be defeated unless their glowing heart, which is protected by a layer of iron, is pierced. Unfortunately, most melee weapons and the steam-pressure guns used by the soldiers are not very effective against them. It slows them down, but you need a really lucky shot to fell them.
On the island country of Hinomoto, people have built fortress-like "train stations" to shelter themselves from these creatures. People access the stations and transport wares between them with the help of armored steam locomotives that look more like battleships on wheels. One day, a train is hijacked by the Kabane and crashes into Aragane Station. The zombies overrun the city, creating panic, mayhem and death. You see, when you get bit, it takes about five or so minutes for you to become a zombie. You have to die before you transform, so you do not add to their ranks, so people have these 'heart bombs'. You place this bag of explosives over the heart and pull the string. You die (almost) painlessly and then, you don't convert. It's a bit like changing your voter preference.
A young engineer called Ikoma (that's him on the far left) uses the opportunity to test his anti-Kabane weapon, the piercing gun, which is more like a glorified nail gun. This means you have to place it RIGHT ON THE ZOMBIE'S CHEST! Crap, any closer to it and you're dating. Although the test is a success (in that the zombie is now officially dead), he is infected in the process, although he manages to resist the virus and become a Kabaneri, a human-Kabane hybrid. Assisted by Mumei ("Nameless"; that's her right at the point in the center), another Kabaneri who appears to help them, Ikoma and the other survivors of the station board the train Kōtetsujō and depart to seek shelter elsewhere, fighting the hordes of Kabane along the way.
They are aided and guided by Ayame Yomogawa (that well-dressed lass off of Mumei's left). She is the eldest daughter of the Yomogawa family, which governs Aragane Station and who is supported by Kurusu (behind her in blue), a young Bushi who serves the Yomogawa family as Ayame's personal bodyguard. Plus, we have the rest of the survivors who will try to make their way to Kongokaku, the capital of this land and the strongest stronghold of them all.
Not only do they have to fight these zombies, Ikoma and Mumei have to fight the prejudice of the people on the train, as they feel there is no difference between a Kabane and a Kabaneri, even those these two save the train, and its people, numerous times. However, there is more afoot than these Kabane. We have to worry about the political machinations that lurk underneath and the potentiality of a coup. People get swayed for all sorts of reasons, but getting killed is certainly a strong impetus to back the winning team, right?
One of the problem I have with zombie shows is that there are near endless fights with them and this show does suffer from that, but the sequences are handled in such a way that it doesn't seem repetitive, although I am always surprised as to how strong and powerful the zombies become.
See! As they rip six-inch steel apart like it's aluminum foil.
Gasp! When they take blow after blow and still fight on.
Stare! Regarding their vicious savagery as they give away the endings of films we haven't seen yet.
No, not that last one. But it gets tiresome battling an implacable foe, with little to no hope for survival. You made it to the end of today, but what about tomorrow? One aspect of the show that must be noted is the hardware. The train stations are magnificent in their mechanical marvels. The machinery, when it is working, is wondrous to behold, as massive steel doors are opened, bridges are hoisted and the train itself moves out. A lot of effort was put into the texture of their world, even if some of the politics are a bit too one-dimensional. Still, it is a bold and aggressive approach to the story-telling and easily worth your time to watch. The genuine drawback is (for me at least), I could not take more than two episodes at a time. I feel that you may lose something with binge-watching, as you do need to catch your breath, as it were.
The ending is a tad too predictable, but the end goal has not been achieved, so expect another season.
On a scale of 1 to 10:
Artwork 9 (Great atmosphere, standard characters)
Plot 8 (A nice take on the zombie tale)
Pacing 8 (Fight sequences can be draining on you)
Effectiveness 7 (Political aspect a bit flat)
Conclusion 7 (It reaches a 'coupler point', but hasn't ended)
Fan Service 2 (A similar show would be "Okamisan")
Overall 8 (Strong consistency in this epic)
And remember, it's first run until you've seen it. Don't open the gates!

–Sometimes clients' lives change in unanticipated ways. Some common ones: job change, health issues, family crises, etc..
–Sometimes participants do not have the same goals for therapy. And without agreement, therapeutic success is unlikely.
–Current client expectations are not very reasonable, flexible, or malleable.
–Obstacles encountered trying to set up therapy. Forms not in the client's language; inability to get an appointment when the client can come; how the intake process goes.
The existence of any of these presents a challenge. More than one and therapy is likely to end prematurely.
And additionally when we dug deeper into the client retention numbers we noticed variability from one therapist to the next. So what did that variability mean? Was it just random? When looking carefully at the numbers, randomness did not seem to account for all of the differences.
Could the variability have to do with caseload differences? This seemed at least somewhat true. For example, therapists with larger caseloads of children or teenagers had lower retention. Why? Perhaps it is more likely that they have more non-customer clients; those who feel forced to come to therapy. And yet there was variability even among those with similar types of caseloads. So not all can be explained by caseload differences.
In general, the longer someone is with us, the better their client retention numbers. This makes sense in many ways. For example, as we remain in one place, the clients who fit with us take up a greater proportion of our caseloads. And returning clients are already used to our style and again will take a bigger percentage of our caseloads. The mystery was why some "longer-timers" did not have higher client retention numbers and some who had only been with us two or three years had good client retention.
While therapists may be relatively powerless to change any of these factors, we cannot address this topic without acknowledging how much therapy is shaped by this list. The take away then, is that we need to be careful about being too certain of the exact meaning of any particular client retention number.
