Rest in peace, my Angel.
Angel Nails, the salon that I've gone to for the last 17 years, pushed back its last cuticle on December 31, 2017.
Keeping things in perspective, it's not like my husband abandoned me, yet my initial reaction to the shuttered business would have fooled you.
On the Upper East Side, if you're looking for a mani-pedi all you have to do is throw a rock; nail salons are as ubiquitous as Starbucks and Duane Reade.
Yet notice of the closing left me with an oh-no feeling, which is my usual response when a "go-to" suddenly is no more.
Frankly, I have no one to blame for my dismay but myself. Options are the name of the game in NYC and not keeping abreast of them defeats the purpose of living in the city where you can get anything at any time.
And then we get comfortable, which leads to being thrown when something as mundane as a bakery moves locations or shuts down completely.
My mistake of not broadening my horizons is not limited to neighborhood businesses. I have been a NYC freelancer from way before the gig economy became the norm. Ask any contract worker and they will tell you: it's either feast or famine, and looking for your next job is a major part of the job.
Many a time, I made the mistake of exhaling during the heady "feast" times, when I had three or four clients consistently feeding me assignments and designating me their de facto writer.
I convinced myself I was too busy working to look for more clients. I got — yes, comfortable, and foolishly thought my good fortune would last forever.
The longer the clients enlisted my services, the rustier I got at networking. Naturally panic set in when a client decided they needed new thinking on an account (aka a different writer), fell on hard times and had to keep assignments in-house, or closed their doors.
I always managed to pick myself up off the floor, and start cold-calling again, but my pitches would feel less smooth, and the realization would set in that I'd fallen behind the pack, which can sting.
I guess with age comes, if not wisdom, at least the desire to not keep making the same mistakes. (After a while, that just gets embarrassing.) I decided to use saying goodbye to my go-to salon as the incentive to not tie myself to the same ol' same ol', and make 2018 the Year of Living Uncomfortably, trying something/somewhere new and keeping my options open. There's too much going on in NYC to keep oneself closed off.

Allen Youth Center is going solar.
Special thanks to JinkoSolar & the USDA Rural Development team for helping us finalize fundraising for this project.
One of the greatest values to the Oglala Lakota is wacantognaka (generosity).
The concept includes more than simply sharing with others. It includes as well showing kindness, compassion and sympathy towards other people and towards all of nature without a price tag, i.e. without the expectation of reward. The simple act of providing wacantognaka is its own reward, making the individual better and happier in life.
On Friday July 13, at the Allen Youth Center, a structure he caused to be built, John DuBray was honored by his community for daring to dream of a place for the youth of Allen and then making that dream come true.


Look ahead to next week's new wide release openers: Inception, and The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
For the 6th weekend in a row we will have two new wide openers in Inception and The Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Inception has been near the top of all anticipated movies for many weeks now and it is approaching fever pitch coming into its release week. 17,999 is a massive figure for the film, and indeed it is the highest number of tweets for an original film since I started this tracking method. The film is hitting primarily a young male demographic but it has a lot going for it which will see it spillover to younger women and older males as well. Christopher Nolan has built a name for himself as one of the most talented directors and writers in the business, that name alone, coupled with throngs of Batman fans from his films, is a solid draw. Plus, the Inception's trailers have been received amazingly well and critics are already singing its praises. Add in the fact that while it has been a Summer full of disappointments, Inception has been earmarked from way back in May to be a surefire success by many in the industry. It's almost a perfect storm of buzz and timing, a great formula for a massive opening frame.
The above numbers really speak for themselves as the film is way ahead of many other notable films, including Shutter Island which also featured a famous director (Scorcese) and Leonardo DiCaprio. The genre here is much more inviting for a wider audience, but the comparison is still telling and shows the level of anticipation and awareness here is much higher. Its weekend numbers have also been very solid and Friday and Saturday have both been close to 6,000 tweets, this should allow it to hit the ground on Monday with 6,000 tweets+ and rack up over 40,000 by the end of the week. With this level of buzz and the very positive early reviews and word of mouth it is entirely possible that the film might lead the Box Office right through to early August.
Trying not to get dwarfed in the buzz hoopla is The Sorcerer's Apprentice which is trying to hone in on young males who are not interested in the more mature and complicated Inception. Not too much here for younger girls as it can hardly be said that Jay Baruchel is a hearthrob. In an effort to distance itself from Inception the studio bumped it up to Wednesday which it hoped would allow it to standout and perhaps grab some of the business from those awaiting the Nolan film. However, early signs based on buzz seem to indicate that strategy has failed pretty miserably.
Despite a unique name the film failed to crack 2,000 tweets last week. Yes since its an original script there will be less buzz about it than a sequel or book adaptation (like Percy Jackson for instance), but the fact that it is barely doing double the tweet traffic of She's Out Of My League despite the huge marketing push is telling. The mid-week opening is always tricky to predict but given these low numbers and the relatively last minute move to Wednesday from Friday its safe to say it will have a hard time hitting $4 million on opening day.
Check back Monday to see how the films are both faring and then again on Tuesday for a full analysis of the Monday numbers. Follow @AlexBOXOFFICE on Twitter for additional updates.

The Digital Solution > Hardware
A Device Does Everything But Sing
Just when you think you can't fit anything else into an all-in-one device that already prints, copies, scans, and faxes, HP ups the ante. The HP Photosmart eStation e-All-in-One performs all those tasks and includes a seven-inch, touch-screen tablet computer that doubles as a display when snapped onto the printer. This tablet lets users do things like check email, Facebook or weather, but I can't imagine using it much as a stand-alone tablet, at least in its current version. And people who just want basic printer functions may grow tired of the tablet's extra features.
Over the years, printers have progressively shifted from PC accessories to devices that can work independent of PCs. They started small, as dedicated 4×6 printers that had built-in memory-card readers and used basic photo-editing capabilities, and have matured into models like last year's HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One with Touch-Smart Web that offered apps for printable things like maps, coloring book pages and recipes.
The $400 HP e-All-in-One (http://3.ly/DP8b) takes this concept a step further by enabling even more independence from the PC because its tablet—named the Zeen—is more robust and can browse the Web, check email in a dedicated email program and run a limited selection of apps. It also works as a stand-alone tablet when detached from the e-All-in-One, though it only connects to the Internet via Wi-Fi rather than a cellular connection. It runs on the Android 2.1 operating system, but can only access certain apps rather than any app in the Android Market.
Perhaps an even more important new feature is that this all-in-one will print anything emailed to it from any device connected to the Internet, thanks to ePrint, a cloud-based printing system. This system assigns an email address to the e-All-in-One during its set-up and almost anything sent to that email address will print out, including attachments, no matter where the email is coming from.
One catch is that you must only send the document to the e-All-in-One's email address and can't CC anyone else or add another address to the "to" line of the email. A spokesman for HP said that this is done to prevent spam print-outs because batches sent to several people won't print.
HP also has an exclusive relationship with products running Apple's latest iOS 4.2 operating system for hand-held devices. Apple's iPads, iPhones, and iPod touches now have a built-in feature called AirPrint which allows them to print anything directly to HP's new ePrint printers as long as these devices and the printer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. I tested this several times using an iPhone and it worked, printing Web pages, emails and photos. I liked the ease of using ePrint and AirPrint. Printouts looked sharp and printed quickly.
But I found the concept behind the e-All-in-One's detachable tablet screen to be both alluring and confusing. It's great to be able to do more with the printer's touch screen and apps—but you don't want to stand at a desk looking down at this screen, so it makes sense that the tablet is detachable. On the other hand, tablets often work in place of printed paper. I use my iPad for things like finding a recipe online, standing the iPad on my kitchen counter and cooking from that on-screen recipe. If I used the eStation All-in-One like that, I would ultimately print less often, which seems to defeat the purpose of having this big thing in your home. The HP eStation All-in-One measures about 18 inches wide and about 14 inches deep.
HP's Zeen tablet can be detached from the e-station, but its uses as a stand-alone are questionable.
In order to save energy, the eStation All-in-One goes to sleep when it hasn't been used for 15 minutes. This is a fine idea for environmental reasons, but in sleep mode, it also turns off its connection to the local Wi-Fi network. This means that if documents are emailed to its assigned address it may not print if it's not awake and online. An HP spokesman said the company recently issued a fix for this problem that wakes up the printer when something is sent to it, but not all printers have been updated.
The Zeen tablet's battery recharges every time it's docked in the eStation All-in-One's base, and HP estimates that its battery life is around four to six hours with Wi-Fi turned on. Hard buttons for volume and power are hidden on the Zeen's back edge, as are speakers. A spokesman for HP said that eStation All-in-Ones will be updated early next year to run Android 2.2, which is faster and plays Flash videos.
The Zeen's four gigabytes of internal memory hold roughly 100 apps, 35 of which come pre-loaded on the tablet. These include apps for MapQuest, Disney, Facebook and the Barnes and Noble bookstore, from which digital books, magazines and newspapers can be purchased and downloaded. Photos, videos, music and other files must be stored on an SD card in the Zeen's SD card slot.
All documents sent to the e-All-in-One using HP's ePrint can be seen online at hp.com/go/ePrintCenter as long as users register their printer and set up an account, which I did in about two minutes. Here, too, users can add or remove apps from their printer. I preferred adding and removing apps directly from my Zeen tablet's screen, but it takes some digging to find the Add More icon for adding apps. Over a dozen HP products support ePrint; they range from $100 to $450.
The concept of ePrint is a smart one, but the printer's tendency to go into sleep mode to save energy is a problem. I like that the Zeen tablet detaches from the e-All-in-One, but its functionality as a tablet with limited apps and capabilities isn't very sensible.

Q: PostgreSQL + Elasticsearch synchronization in JAVA spring (JPA) We use JAVA Spring (JPA) and in application we write, modify and delete data in PostgreSQL.
How to synchronize data between PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch? So, they will have same data.

A: I agree with Vijay regarding the general approach.
Essentially you can use Logstash to log your PostgreSQL data by using the pgjdbc driver (simple .jar) in Logstash to connect to PostgreSQL directly and use logstash.conf to write an SQL query to fetch the data from PostgreSQL.
I recently wrote a comprehensive guide about Spring Boot + PostgreSQL and the ELK stack and how to set things up (incl. a GitHub repo link to a sample project) in Towards Data Science, which you can find here: https://towardsdatascience.com/a-hitchhikers-guide-to-spring-boot-elasticsearch-logstash-kibana-postgresql-and-docker-5602feaa9fd3
I hope it helps everyone using this stack (even if you do not use Spring Boot but just Spring)
And here is a direct link to GitHub if you do not want to read the article: https://github.com/tech4242/spring-elastic-genie

A: I assume that you are using PosgreSQL as a primary storage to store your data and Elasticsearch as a secondary storage to index the data from PosgreSQL for searching.
I would suggest Logstash is the best option. You will have create a configuration file that connects PosgreSQL with elasticsearch. Use JDBC input plugin and elasticsearch output plugin and run Logstash with that configuration file. Every document will be synced from there onward.
You also have some other options:
Batch Sync: Write an application/script (perl/python) to pull the data from PosgreSQL to index into Elasticsearch. You can schedule this job to be executed at a specific time you wish.
Real-time Sync: Right after you insert/update a record into PostgreSQL successfully, you send a request in the same API to index/update this record to Elasticsearch.

Arab Singing Sensation Diana Haddad Visits Gulf Medical University to Support Diabetes Awareness Program
Ajman: Gulf Medical University (GMU), Ajman, the leading private medical university in the region owned and operated by Thumbay Group, conducted diabetes awareness program "Count Your Steps – To Beat Diabetes," on Tuesday, 22nd November 2016. The event, held in observation of World Diabetes Day, was attended by popular Arab singer Ms. Diana Haddad-who engaged with hundreds of university students and visitors on the importance of combating diabetes.
Ms. Haddad was welcomed at the University by Mr. Thumbay Moideen, Founder President, Board of Governors of GMU, the Provost Prof. Gita Ashok Raj and Deans of the various colleges under the University. Accompanied by them, she toured the University's facilities, and interacted with the students and faculty. Congratulating the students for choosing the noble profession of medicine, she appreciated Mr. Thumbay Moideen for setting up a world-class private medical university in the country.
Expressing her support for the diabetes awareness program of GMU, Diana remarked that the control of diabetes was a serious challenge the world over. "My endeavor is to empower people struggling with diabetes to take control of their lives by lifestyle modification, nutrition management and regular exercise. It is important to watch out for the symptoms of diabetes and have regular medical check-ups. More importantly, one has to engage in regular physical activity to keep diabetes at bay. Eating healthy and keeping the calories in check are equally vital," she said. She also lauded the efforts of GMU in promoting health awareness.
Commenting on the diabetes awareness program, Mr. Thumbay Moideen said that the University and its constituent teaching hospitals, the Thumbay Hospital network were committed to spreading health awareness. "GMU has students from over 75 nationalities and our hospitals treat patients from over 175 countries. With access to such a diverse crowd, we have always believed that we have the responsibility to promote the message of healthy living." He thanked the celebrity visitor for supporting the campaign.
Ms. Haddad also visited Body & Soul Health Club & Spa, Blends & Brews Coffee Shoppe and The Terrace Restaurant in the GMU campus. She thanked the University authorities and the students for the rousing reception.
About Gulf Medical University

Catholic Education Will Be History In O.B. As Sacred Heart Closes Its Doors
By Thomas Fudge / Science and Technology Reporter
Published May 21, 2013 at 9:11 AM PDT
Nicholas McVicker
Sacred Heart Academy in Ocean Beach is a K-8 school founded in 1950. It will be the third Catholic school to close in the San Diego Diocese in as many years.
Falling enrollment makes Sacred Heart Academy in Ocean Beach part of a national trend, and the third San Diego Catholic school to close in as many years.
The grounds of Sacred Heart Academy were alive this past Sunday as parents and school kids attended a barbeque in honor of the school. Children bounced in an inflated jumper as loud music told people to put on their funky shoes.
But the Ocean Beach sunshine and the festive veneer concealed the sad fact that had brought people together on that day. This school, built in 1950, was having its last semester. The thought of the school closing pulled at the hearts of parents like Erin Robinson, who enrolled her first and fourth grader a year ago after moving to San Diego with her military family.
Sixth grader Sophia DeFabrizio struggled with emotions as she told me losing Sacred Heart Academy meant losing a part of her heart.
"I don't really know what I'd do without the school because I met my best friend here and I've know a lot of people since kindergarten," said DeFabrizio. "It's just … I love it here and I don't want it to go."
But it will go now that Father Ron Hebert, leader of the parish, has decided it is time to close the school after years of troubles. Those troubles came from falling enrollment and a shortage of money.
Sacred Heart Academy is the third San Diego Catholic school to close in as many years. And the plan to shutter Sacred Heart reflects a national trend as parochial schools face higher expenses, changing beliefs and changing demographics.
Sacred Heart principal Maria Tollefson said some parents had offered to try to raise money to pay off the school's debt.
"But you know I think, as I looked at the history, it would have just been a Band-Aid," she said. "And then what would you do for next year? You know we have a graduating class of 27. And our lower grades are really low. We only have eight in kindergarten."
That shortage of tuition-paying students is a problem all around the country. While the San Diego Diocese is closing one school this year, the New York Archdiocese is closing 24. Some said many Catholic families no longer feel an obligation to give their kids a parochial education. Now that nuns no longer teach the classes, schools have to hire lay teachers and pay a livable wage.
Schools also face many changing demographics. Established inner-city Catholic schools have seen their families move to the suburbs to be replaced by more low-income families, many of whom are not Catholic. Ocean Beach, the home of Sacred Heart Academy, has seen its own demographic problem.
Maria Tollefson was brought in as the principal of Sacred Heart Academy less than a year ago with the mission of increasing its enrollment. She says she wished she'd been given more time to accomplish the task.
"When you talk to people who sent their kids to school here years and years and years ago, it was more like a family community. Ocean Beach is not that anymore," said Tollefson.
You can add to that the competition from public schools and a yearly tuition cost of $5,700 per child at Sacred Heart, where the current enrollment is 138 students. Typically, an enrollment of at least 200 is needed to make ends meet.
Maria Tollefson was brought in as principal less than a year ago to try to turn the school around, and she says she's disappointed she wasn't given more time to raise enrollment.
But Father Ron Hebert at the nearby Sacred Heart Church said time was running out faster than he imagined.
"We did not know how much we would be bleeding money. And that became very, very clear by December. That was not clear last summer when Mrs. Tollefson was hired," Hebert said.
Hebert said the closing of Sacred Heart Academy is bittersweet, a time of loss but also a time of thanksgiving for the good education it's provided in the past. But back at the Sunday barbeque, students like Michael Nadell were hard-pressed to see the bright side.
Father Ron Hebert, the leader of Sacred Heart Parish, said he didn't realize until this year how quickly Sacred Heart Academy was "bleeding money." He made the decision to close the school this semester.
"When I found out the school was closing, I was actually at Disneyland. And it actually ruined my whole time there," he said.
Parents who choose Catholic education are looking for an affordable private education with a religious message and a strong system of discipline that maintains classroom order. But is there a better way to insure the system's financial moorings?
Sacred Heart parent David Sheppard says the San Diego Diocese needs to do more.
"I definitely think the Diocese should take a more active role. We're closing way too many Catholic schools and I think if they took a more proactive approach to the schools, I don't think you would see them closing," said Sheppard.
The San Diego Diocese, which now oversees 44 K-8 schools, has appointed a committee to study the financial sustainability of Catholic education. People are hoping for a more pro-education stance from incoming Bishop Cirilo Flores.
Tollefson suggested parish churches without schools should share the financial burden of keeping schools in the black. Flores would not comment for this story.
Sacred Heart Church will keep the school campus for confirmation classes and to house its preschool program. But Catholic education, as so many people have known it, will soon to be part of only the history of Ocean Beach.

Syracuse officially adds grad transfer from South Alabama
A rather sizable and experienced player who will likely be a key figure in Syracuse's offensive line this coming season is officially a part of the Orange's roster.
Back in late March, it was reported that Ryan Alexander would be transferring to Syracuse from South Alabama. Exactly three months later, the Orange has confirmed the offensive tackle's addition to the football program.
NEWS: Grad transfer Ryan Alexander (@RyElCabra) is officially 🍊! Alexander led South Alabama with 46 🥞 blocks last season.
Welcome to the family, Ryan!

Q: BottomSheetDialogFragment crashes when opened a second time A similar question was asked before however this seems to be a different issue.
Using the Navigation component, I define a dialog like so:
<navigation
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/main_graph"
        app:startDestination="@id/main_fragment">

    <fragment
            android:id="@+id/main_fragment"
            android:name="com.example.app.MainFragment"
            android:label="MainFragment" />

    <dialog
            android:id="@+id/dialog_fragment"
            android:name="com.example.app.DialogFragment"
            android:label="AddFeeling" />

</navigation>

In the MainFragment I have a button that runs navController.navigate(R.id.dialog_fragment). This opens the dialog fine. When I swipe the dialog fragment away and click the button again, the app crashes.
The crash is caused by including a fragment inside of the dialog. I technically have a NavHostFragment inside of the dialog fragment, but even putting a standard fragment in the app crashes. If I have no fragments inside the dialog it works fine.
Here is the dialog fragment layout. As you can see the <fragment> attribute is where the duplicate is:

Any ideas to what the issue could be? Thanks

A: Similar to the question linked in mine, the fragment of the NavHostFragment must not have an ID either, the inflater will notice the fragment has an ID so it will flag it as a duplicate.

Whisky Man of the Year – and the WINNER IS: John Lamond, and thanks for putting up with Nicola and Lee for the Beginner and Advanced Whisky Certificate Courses in 2012.
Whisky Woman of the Year – and the WINNER IS: Rachel Barrie, thanks for some excellent whisky tastings and chats over 2012, hope to enjoy even more of your whisky wisdom and unrivaled enthusiasm over the next 12 months.
The Whisky Boys are looking forward to a full 2013, if it is as good as 2012 then what a Whisky year we have ahead of us.
I really enjoyed the Whyte & Mackay 13 this year as well. So very smooth, and loved the way the flavors all melded together. Great pick.
Totally agree with you on the Aberlour A'Bunadh, that stuff is soooo good!
I also agree with The Pot Still as an amazing bar. I had the pleasure of rubbing elbows with some locals over some incredible whisky at that place when I visited Edinburgh a few years back. In the States it's hard to imagine a bar that runs all the way to the ceiling loaded with some of the finest Scotches available (I think Jack Rose Saloon in D.C. is the closest I've seen here).
Sorry, when I visited Glasgow…not Edinburgh!

Q: client side routing to component on browser refresh throws 404 error I have a react app created with the create-react-app template and want it be deployed on IIS as a part of another application folder.
On client navigation after loading the navigated component is loaded but when i refresh the url from the browser i get a 404 error
For example:
i build using npm run build with package.json

I have also set the base name to the Router component

on open of the react site and navigation to the component "Admin" it shows the component properly. But when i reload the same url by refreshing from the browser refresh button i get an 404 error page not found.
When i run using the npm start it runs with http://localhost:3000/ as default and on component navigation changes the url to http://localhost:3000/admin . here if i refresh from the browser it loads the page and navigates properly showing the navigated component.
What am i missing to make this work ?

The Comprehensive Assessment of Neurodegeneration and Dementia (COMPASS-ND) cohort study of the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA) is a national initiative to catalyze research on dementia, set up to support the research agendas of CCNA teams. This cross-country longitudinal cohort of 2310 deeply phenotyped subjects with various forms of dementia and mild memory loss or concerns, along with cognitively intact elderly subjects, will test hypotheses generated by these teams.
The COMPASS-ND protocol, initial grant proposal for funding, fifth semi-annual CCNA Progress Report submitted to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research December 2017, and other documents supplemented by modifications made and lessons learned after implementation were used by the authors to create the description of the study provided here.
The CCNA COMPASS-ND cohort includes participants from across Canada with various cognitive conditions associated with or at risk of neurodegenerative diseases. They will undergo a wide range of experimental, clinical, imaging, and genetic investigation to specifically address the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these conditions in the aging population. Data derived from clinical and cognitive assessments, biospecimens, brain imaging, genetics, and brain donations will be used to test hypotheses generated by CCNA research teams and other Canadian researchers. The study is the most comprehensive and ambitious Canadian study of dementia. Initial data posting occurred in 2018, with the full cohort to be accrued by 2020.
Availability of data from the COMPASS-ND study will provide a major stimulus for dementia research in Canada in the coming years.

Journal: Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society / Volume 24 / Issue 8 / September 2018
Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with cognitive impairment but the relationships between specific biomarkers and neurocognitive domains remain unclear. The present study examined the influence of common health comorbidities on these relationships. Adults with suspected OSA (N=60; 53% male; M age=52 years; SD=14) underwent neuropsychological evaluation before baseline polysomnography (PSG). Apneic syndrome severity, hypoxic strain, and sleep architecture disturbance were assessed through PSG. Methods: Depression (Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, CESD), pain, and medical comorbidity (Charlson Comorbidity Index) were measured via questionnaires. Processing speed, attention, vigilance, memory, executive functioning, and motor dexterity were evaluated with cognitive testing. A winnowing approach identified 9 potential moderation models comprised of a correlated PSG variable, comorbid health factor, and cognitive performance. Results: Regression analyses identified one significant moderation model: average blood oxygen saturation (AVO2) and depression predicting recall memory, accounting for 31% of the performance variance, p<.001. Depression was a significant predictor of recall memory, p<.001, but AVO2 was not a significant predictor. The interaction between depression and AVO2 was significant, accounting for an additional 10% of the variance, p<.001. The relationship between low AVO2 and low recall memory performance emerged when depression severity ratings approached a previously established clinical cutoff score (CESD=16). Conclusions: This study examined sleep biomarkers with specific neurocognitive functions among individuals with suspected OSA. Findings revealed that depression burden uniquely influence this pathophysiological relationship, which may aid clinical management. (JINS, 2018, 28, 864–875)

BACKGROUND: IGTS is a rare phenomenon of paradoxical germ cell tumor (GCT) growth during or following treatment despite normalization of tumor markers. We sought to evaluate the frequency, clinical characteristics and outcome of IGTS in patients in 21 North-American and Australian institutions. METHODS: Patients with IGTS diagnosed from 2000-2017 were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS: Out of 739 GCT diagnoses, IGTS was identified in 33 patients (4.5%). IGTS occurred in 9/191 (4.7%) mixed-malignant GCTs, 4/22 (18.2%) immature teratomas (ITs), 3/472 (0.6%) germinomas/germinomas with mature teratoma, and in 17 secreting non-biopsied tumours. Median age at GCT diagnosis was 10.9 years (range 1.8-19.4). Male gender (84%) and pineal location (88%) predominated. Of 27 patients with elevated markers, median serum AFP and Beta-HCG were 70 ng/mL (range 9.2-932) and 44 IU/L (range 4.2-493), respectively. IGTS occurred at a median time of 2 months (range 0.5-32) from diagnosis, during chemotherapy in 85%, radiation in 3%, and after treatment completion in 12%. Surgical resection was attempted in all, leading to gross total resection in 76%. Most patients (79%) resumed GCT chemotherapy/radiation after surgery. At a median follow-up of 5.3 years (range 0.3-12), all but 2 patients are alive (1 succumbed to progressive disease, 1 to malignant transformation of GCT). CONCLUSION: IGTS occurred in less than 5% of patients with GCT and most commonly after initiation of chemotherapy. IGTS was more common in patients with IT-only on biopsy than with mixed-malignant GCT. Surgical resection is a principal treatment modality. Survival outcomes for patients who developed IGTS are favourable.

Second-mode wave growth within the hypersonic boundary layer of a slender cone is investigated experimentally using high-speed schlieren visualizations. Experiments were performed in AEDC Tunnel 9 over a range of unit Reynolds number conditions at a Mach number of approximately 14. A thin lens with a known density profile placed within the field of view enables calibration of the schlieren set-up, and the relatively high camera frame rates employed allow for the reconstruction of time-resolved pixel intensities at discrete streamwise locations. The calibration in conjunction with the reconstructed signals enables integrated spatial amplification rates ( $N$ factors) to be calculated for each unit Reynolds number condition and compared to $N$ factors computed from both pressure transducer measurements and linear parabolized stability equation (PSE) solutions. Good agreement is observed between $N$ factors computed from the schlieren measurements and those computed from the PSE solutions for the most-amplified second-mode frequencies. The streamwise development of $N$ factors calculated from the schlieren measurements compares favourably to that calculated from the pressure measurements with slight variations in the $N$ factor magnitudes calculated for harmonic frequencies. Finally, a bispectral analysis is carried out to identify nonlinear phase-coupled quadratic interactions present within the boundary layer. Multiple interactions are identified and revealed to be associated with the growth of disturbances at higher harmonic frequencies.

The present study aimed to examine the correlates of fruit and vegetable intake (FVI) separately among parents and their adolescents.
Cross-sectional surveys.
Online survey.
Parents and adolescents completed the Family Life, Activity, Sun, Health, and Eating (FLASHE) survey through the National Cancer Institute. The survey assessed daily intake frequencies of food/beverage groups, psychosocial, parenting and sociodemographic factors. Generalized linear models were run for both parents and adolescents, for a total of six models (three each): (i) sociodemographic characteristics; (ii) psychosocial factors; (iii) parent/caregiver factors.
Parent participants (n 1542) were predominantly 35–59 years old (86 %), female (73 %), non-Hispanic White (71 %) or non-Hispanic Black (17 %), with household income <$US 100 000 (79 %). Adolescents (n 805) were aged 12–14 years (50 %), non-Hispanic White (66 %) and non-Hispanic Black (15 %). Parents consumed 2·9 cups fruits and vegetables (F&V) daily, while adolescents consumed 2·2 cups daily. Educational attainment (higher education had greater FVI) and sex (men consumed more than women; all P<0·001) were significant FVI predictors. Parents with greater autonomous and controlled motivation, self-efficacy and preferences for fruit reported higher FVI (all P<0·001). Similarly, adolescents with greater autonomous and controlled motivation, self-efficacy and knowledge reported higher FVI (all P<0·001). Parenting factors of importance were co-deciding how many F&V teens should have, rules, having F&V in the home and cooking meals from scratch (all P<0·05).
Findings suggest factors that impact FVI among parents and their adolescent(s), which highlight the importance of the role of parent behaviour and can inform tailored approaches for increasing FVI in various settings.

Dementia prevalence is rising, and it will double in the next 20 years. This study sought to understand the prevalence of dementia in hospitalized patients with ischemic stroke, and its impact on outcomes.
Using the Canadian Institute of Health Information's (CIHI) Discharge Abstract Database (DAD), all acute ischemic stroke admissions from April 2003 to March 2015 in Canada (excluding Quebec) were analyzed. Concurrent dementia at the time of admission was assessed based on hospital diagnostic codes. Characteristics and in-hospital outcomes were compared in patients with and without dementia using χ 2 and negative binomial, as well as Poisson regression analysis.
During the observed period, 313,138 people were admitted to a hospital in Canada for an ischemic stroke. Of those, 21,788 (7.0%) had a concurrent diagnosis of dementia. People with dementia had older median age (84 vs. 76 years; p<0.0001), were more often female (59.6% vs. 48.4%; p<0.0001) and more often had Charlson-Deyo Comorbidity Index ≥2 (64.5% vs. 43.5%; p<0.0001). Patients with dementia were less likely to be discharged to a rehabilitation facility (adjusted risk ratio [RR] 3.089, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.992-3.188, p<0.0001) or home independently (adjusted RR 0.756, 95% CI 0.737-0.776, p<0.0001).
Approximately 1 in 13 hospitalized ischemic stroke patients has coded dementia. Patients with ischemic stroke and concurrent dementia have higher mortality, face significantly more dependence after stroke and utilize greater healthcare resources than stroke patients without dementia. Causative conclusions are limited by the administrative data source. Early care planning and coordination could potentially optimize outcomes.

The World Alzheimer Report 2016 estimated that 47 million people are living with dementia worldwide (Alzheimer's Disease International, 2016). In the inaugural World Health Organization Ministerial Conference on Global Action against Dementia, six of the top ten research priorities were focused on prevention, identification, and reduction of dementia risk, and on delivery and quality of care for people with dementia and their carers (Shah et al., 2016). While the Lancet Neurology Commission has suggested that even minor advances to delay progression or ameliorate symptoms might have substantial financial and societal benefits (Winblad et al., 2016), advances have been slow.

The Neotoma Paleoecology Database is a community-curated data resource that supports interdisciplinary global change research by enabling broad-scale studies of taxon and community diversity, distributions, and dynamics during the large environmental changes of the past. By consolidating many kinds of data into a common repository, Neotoma lowers costs of paleodata management, makes paleoecological data openly available, and offers a high-quality, curated resource. Neotoma's distributed scientific governance model is flexible and scalable, with many open pathways for participation by new members, data contributors, stewards, and research communities. The Neotoma data model supports, or can be extended to support, any kind of paleoecological or paleoenvironmental data from sedimentary archives. Data additions to Neotoma are growing and now include >3.8 million observations, >17,000 datasets, and >9200 sites. Dataset types currently include fossil pollen, vertebrates, diatoms, ostracodes, macroinvertebrates, plant macrofossils, insects, testate amoebae, geochronological data, and the recently added organic biomarkers, stable isotopes, and specimen-level data. Multiple avenues exist to obtain Neotoma data, including the Explorer map-based interface, an application programming interface, the neotoma R package, and digital object identifiers. As the volume and variety of scientific data grow, community-curated data resources such as Neotoma have become foundational infrastructure for big data science.
Case series of mild behavioral impairment: toward an understanding of the early stages of neurodegenerative diseases affecting behavior and cognition
Alicja Cieslak, Eric E. Smith, John Lysack, Zahinoor Ismail
Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) is characterized by later life acquired, sustained, and impactful neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) of any severity that cannot be better accounted for by other formal medical and psychiatric nosology. MBI is an "at risk" state for incident cognitive decline and dementia, and for some, MBI is the index manifestation of neurodegeneration, observed in advance of cognitive impairment. Initially described in Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), MBI evolved to describe a preclinical stage of all cause dementia, and has been operationalized in the International Society to Advance Alzheimer's Research and Treatment-Alzheimer's Association (ISTAART-AA) proposed research diagnostic criteria. Here, we describe three cases in which patients diagnosed with a variety of dementing conditions initially presented with NPS to the Cognitive Neurosciences Clinic at the University of Calgary, Canada. All patients described in our series were given a final diagnosis of dementia; the etiology supported by clinical, cognitive, and neuroimaging findings. In all three cases, the progression to dementia was preceded by NPS that meet criteria for MBI. With these examples, we are able to illustrate that MBI can represent a premonitory stage of dementia of different etiologies. These cases demonstrate early use of the MBI checklist (MBI-C). The cases presented in this series serve as examples of NPS as early manifestations of dementia. Our case examples include both FTD and AD, and demonstrate that before a diagnosis of a neurodegenerative disease is considered, often patients will be diagnosed with and treated for a psychiatric condition. These early NPS can be characterized within the domains outlined in the ISTAART-AA MBI criteria, and detected with the MBI-C, which may help clinicians consider neurodegenerative disease in the differential diagnosis of later life onset psychiatric symptomatology.
Prevalence of mild behavioral impairment in mild cognitive impairment and subjective cognitive decline, and its association with caregiver burden

Hogan, Aaron Mackie, Colleen J Maxwell, Bijoy Menon, Patricia Mueller, David Patry, Dawn Pearson, Jeremy Quickfall, Tolulope Sajobi, Eric Tse, Meng Wang, Eric E. Smith, for the PROMPT registry investigators
Mild behavioral impairment (MBI) describes later life acquired, sustained neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in cognitively normal individuals or those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), as an at-risk state for incident cognitive decline and dementia. We developed an operational definition of MBI and tested whether the presence of MBI was related to caregiver burden in patients with subjective cognitive decline (SCD) or MCI assessed at a memory clinic.
MBI was assessed in 282 consecutive memory clinic patients with SCD (n = 119) or MCI (n = 163) in accordance with the International Society to Advance Alzheimer's Research and Treatment – Alzheimer's Association (ISTAART–AA) research diagnostic criteria. We operationalized a definition of MBI using the Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire (NPI-Q). Caregiver burden was assessed using the Zarit caregiver burden scale. Generalized linear regression was used to model the effect of MBI domains on caregiver burden.
While MBI was more prevalent in MCI (85.3%) than in SCD (76.5%), this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.06). Prevalence estimates across MBI domains were affective dysregulation (77.8%); impulse control (64.4%); decreased motivation (51.7%); social inappropriateness (27.8%); and abnormal perception or thought content (8.7%). Affective dysregulation (p = 0.03) and decreased motivation (p=0.01) were more prevalent in MCI than SCD patients. Caregiver burden was 3.35 times higher when MBI was present after controlling for age, education, sex, and MCI (p < 0.0001).
MBI was common in memory clinic patients without dementia and was associated with greater caregiver burden. These data show that MBI is a common and clinically relevant syndrome.
How do we actually put smarter snacks in schools? NOURISH (Nutrition Opportunities to Understand Reforms Involving Student Health) conversations with food-service directors
Lindsay E Rosenfeld, Juliana FW Cohen, Mary T Gorski, Andrés J Lessing, Lauren Smith, Eric B Rimm, Jessica A Hoffman
Journal: Public Health Nutrition / Volume 20 / Issue 3 / February 2017
In autumn 2012, Massachusetts schools implemented comprehensive competitive food and beverage standards similar to the US Department of Agriculture's Smart Snacks in School standards. We explored major themes raised by food-service directors (FSD) regarding their school-district-wide implementation of the standards.
For this qualitative study, part of a larger mixed-methods study, compliance was measured via direct observation of foods and beverages during school site visits in spring 2013 and 2014, calculated to ascertain the percentage of compliant products available to students. Semi-structured interviews with school FSD conducted in each year were analysed for major implementation themes; those raised by more than two-thirds of participating school districts were explored in relationship to compliance.
Massachusetts school districts (2013: n 26; 2014: n 21).
Data collected from FSD.
Seven major themes were raised by more than two-thirds of participating school districts (range 69–100 %): taking measures for successful transition; communicating with vendors/manufacturers; using tools to identify compliant foods and beverages; receiving support from leadership; grappling with issues not covered by the law; anticipating changes in sales of competitive foods and beverages; and anticipating changes in sales of school meals. Each theme was mentioned by the majority of more-compliant school districts (65–81 %), with themes being raised more frequently after the second year of implementation (range increase 4–14 %).
FSD in more-compliant districts were more likely to talk about themes than those in less-compliant districts. Identified themes suggest best-practice recommendations likely useful for school districts implementing the final Smart Snacks in School standards, effective July 2016.
The Prevalence and Incidence of Dementia with Lewy Bodies: a Systematic Review

Population-based prevalence and incidence studies are essential for understanding the societal burden of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB).
The MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched to identify publications addressing the incidence and/or prevalence of DLB. References of included articles and prior systematic reviews were searched for additional studies. Two reviewers screened all abstracts and full-text reviews, abstracted data and performed quality assessments.
Twenty-two studies were included. Incidence rates ranged from 0.5 to 1.6 per 1000 person-years. DLB accounted for 3.2-7.1% of all dementia cases in the incidence studies. Point and period prevalence estimates ranged from 0.02 to 63.5 per 1000 persons. Increasing prevalence estimates were reported with increasing age. DLB accounted for from 0.3 to 24.4% of all cases of dementia in the prevalence studies.
DLB becomes more common with increasing age and accounts for about 5% of all dementia cases in older populations.

Dementia is a common neurological condition affecting many older individuals that leads to a loss of independence, diminished quality of life, premature mortality, caregiver burden and high levels of healthcare utilization and cost. This is an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of the worldwide prevalence and incidence of dementia.
The MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for relevant studies published between 2000 (1985 for Canadian papers) and July of 2012. Papers selected for full-text review were included in the systematic review if they provided an original population-based estimate for the incidence and/or prevalence of dementia. The reference lists of included articles were also searched for additional studies. Two individuals independently performed abstract and full-text review, data extraction, and quality assessment of the papers. Random-effects models and/or meta-regression were used to generate pooled estimates by age, sex, setting (i.e., community, institution, both), diagnostic criteria utilized, location (i.e., continent) and year of data collection.
Of 16,066 abstracts screened, 707 articles were selected for full-text review. A total of 160 studies met the inclusion criteria. Among individuals 60 and over residing in the community, the pooled point and annual period prevalence estimates of dementia were 48.62 (CI95%: 41.98-56.32) and 69.07 (CI95%: 52.36-91.11) per 1000 persons, respectively. The respective pooled incidence rate (same age and setting) was 17.18 (CI95%: 13.90-21.23) per 1000 person-years, while the annual incidence proportion was 52.85 (CI95%: 33.08-84.42) per 1,000 persons. Increasing participant age was associated with a higher dementia prevalence and incidence. Annual period prevalence was higher in North America than in South America, Europe and Asia (in order of decreasing period prevalence) and higher in institutional compared to community and combined settings. Sex, diagnostic criteria (except for incidence proportion) and year of data collection were not associated with statistically significant different estimates of prevalence or incidence, though estimates were consistently higher for females than males.
Dementia is a common neurological condition in older individuals. Significant gaps in knowledge about its epidemiology were identified, particularly with regard to the incidence of dementia in low- and middle-income countries. Accurate estimates of prevalence and incidence of dementia are needed to plan for the health and social services that will be required to deal with an aging population.

Updated information on the epidemiology of dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) is needed to ensure that adequate resources are available to meet current and future healthcare needs. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the incidence and prevalence of AD.
The MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched from 1985 to 2012, as well as the reference lists of selected articles. Included articles had to provide an original population-based estimate for the incidence and/or prevalence of AD. Two individuals independently performed abstract and full-text reviews, data extraction and quality assessments. Random-effects models were employed to generate pooled estimates stratified by age, sex, diagnostic criteria, location (i.e., continent) and time (i.e., when the study was done).
Of 16,066 abstracts screened, 707 articles were selected for full-text review. A total of 119 studies met the inclusion criteria. In community settings, the overall point prevalence of dementia due to AD among individuals 60+ was 40.2 per 1000 persons (CI95%: 29.1-55.6), and pooled annual period prevalence was 30.4 per 1000 persons (CI95%: 15.6-59.1). In community settings, the overall pooled annual incidence proportion of dementia due to AD among individuals 60+ was 34.1 per 1000 persons (CI95%: 16.4-70.9), and the incidence rate was 15.8 per 1000 person-years (CI95%: 12.9-19.4). Estimates varied significantly with age, diagnostic criteria used and location (i.e., continent).
The burden of AD dementia is substantial. Significant gaps in our understanding of its epidemiology were identified, even in a high-income country such as Canada. Future studies should assess the impact of using such newer clinical diagnostic criteria for AD dementia such as those of the National Institute on Aging–Alzheimer's Association and/or incorporate validated biomarkers to confirm the presence of Alzheimer pathology to produce more precise estimates of the global burden of AD.

Population-based prevalence and incidence studies are essential for understanding the burden of frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
The MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched to identify population-based publications from 1985 to 2012, addressing the incidence and/or prevalence of FTD. References of included articles and prior systematic reviews were searched for additional studies. Two reviewers screened all abstracts and full-text reviews, abstracted data and performed quality assessments.
Twenty-six studies were included. Methodological limitations led to wide ranges in the estimates for prevalence (point prevalence 0.01-4.6 per 1000 persons; period prevalence 0.16-31.04 per 1000 persons) and incidence (0.0-0.3 per 1000 person-years). FTD accounted for an average of 2.7% (range 0-9.1%) of all dementia cases among prevalence studies that included subjects 65 and older compared to 10.2% (range 2.8-15.7%) in studies restricted to those aged less than 65. The cumulative numbers of male (373 [52.5%]) and female (338 [47.5%]) cases from studies reporting this information were nearly equal (p=0.18). The behavioural variant FTD (bvFTD) was almost four times as common as the primary progressive aphasias.
Population-based estimates for the epidemiology of FTD varied widely in the included studies. Refinements in the diagnostic process, possibly by the use of validated biomarkers or limiting case ascertainment to specialty services, are needed to obtain more precise estimates of the prevalence and incidence of FTD.

In western Canada, more money is spent on wild oat herbicides than on any other weed species, and wild oat resistance to herbicides is the most widespread resistance issue. A direct-seeded field experiment was conducted from 2010 to 2014 at eight Canadian sites to determine crop life cycle, crop species, crop seeding rate, crop usage, and herbicide rate combination effects on wild oat management and canola yield. Combining 2× seeding rates of early-cut barley silage with 2× seeding rates of winter cereals and excluding wild oat herbicides for 3 of 5 yr (2011 to 2013) often led to similar wild oat density, aboveground wild oat biomass, wild oat seed density in the soil, and canola yield as a repeated canola–wheat rotation under a full wild oat herbicide rate regime. Wild oat was similarly well managed after 3 yr of perennial alfalfa without wild oat herbicides. Forgoing wild oat herbicides in only 2 of 5 yr from exclusively summer annual crop rotations resulted in higher wild oat density, biomass, and seed banks. Management systems that effectively combine diverse and optimal cultural practices against weeds, and limit herbicide use, reduce selection pressure for weed resistance to herbicides and prolong the utility of threatened herbicide tools.

The co-occurring development of internalizing and externalizing problems were examined in an inception cohort of 392 children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at age 3 who were assessed on four occasions. Results indicated that internalizing and externalizing problems were stable over time and highly comorbid. Joint trajectory analysis suggested that 13% of the sample followed a dual high-risk trajectory. High risk was not found to be associated with intellectual ability or autism spectrum disorder symptom severity but was linked to lower income and gender: more girls than boys were found in the high/stable internalizing problems trajectory. The results suggest that 1 in 4 preschoolers followed a trajectory of internalizing or externalizing problems (or a combination of the two) that could be characterized as clinically elevated.
