INTRODUCTION: Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) is an uncommon, fatal, genetic, transmissible and degenerative, brain disorder. It affects one person in every one million in the United States. A definite diagnosis can be made by histopathological confirmation which is often not possible for various reasons. Therefore, great caution is needed before the diagnosis is offered. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with radiological diagnosis of CJD in the past 2 years were assessed clinically, reassessed at 1-month, and results are discussed. RESULTS: Four out of the 12 patients seen had nonprion cause. Hyperacute onset with coma, nonprogressive changes in imaging and electroencephalography, were seen in those who improved. The presence or absence of 14-3-3 in cerebrospinal fluid was not useful in either confirming or excluding the diagnosis in a given case. CONCLUSION: All patients with cortical ribboning need correlation with clinical features and follow-up to confirm or exclude prion disease.

Menstrual hygiene and infections: Menacing women health
Priya Sharma, NL Gupta
April-June 2020, 9(2):99-104
Good menstrual hygiene is fundamental to health, education, work and wellbeing of women everywhere. Menstruation is a natural part of human existence. Yet it has been neglected for decades in all sectors as well as at individual level. Menstruation remains a taboo in many societies and various negative cultural attitudes and beliefs are still associated with it. Menstruating women and girls are often associated with terms like dirt, filth, stink, impure and so which leads to forceful seclusion, reduced mobility, social, cultural and dietary restrictions. Adolescent girls are mostly kept away from facts and thus remain ignorant of the issues they suffer due to ignorance in their daily health and hygiene practices which result into adverse health outcomes. To delineate determinants of menstruation and to assess progress on perspectives with respect to change in the process of menstruation. Relevant available literature with appropriated methodology on the topic menstruation was taken up with focus on studies over the last decade. The search was strategically done to include an extensive list of concepts, beliefs, process and management to capture the various degrees of difference in perceptions and expressions, demographic and sociocultural factors as well as related subject matter adjusted accordingly to different set of data. The United Nations millennium development goal 2 and 3 directly focused on menstrual hygiene and management for universal education and on gender equality and women empowerment. However, less attention was paid on these issues in developing countries and even the work done on this is not much to explore this neglected aspect of women health. Literature on these particular aspects of women remain extremely scarce and to make things even worse sanitary section is just not touched and more so combined with stigma around it.
Primary fungal laryngitis: Our experiences at a tertiary care teaching hospital of Eastern India
Santosh Kumar Swain, Priyanka Debta, Nibi Shajahan
INTRODUCTION: Primary fungal laryngitis is a fungal infection of the larynx without affecting the other body parts such as the lungs, pharynx, and oral cavity. It is an extremely rare clinical entity. Hoarseness of the voice is common clinical presentations. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the etiology, clinical presentations, diagnosis, and treatment of primary fungal laryngitis at a tertiary care teaching hospital in Eastern India. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective study of seven cases of primary fungal laryngitis managed between 2014 and 2019. The detailed etiology, clinical presentations, investigations, and treatment of primary fungal laryngitis patients were studied. RESULTS: Primary fungal laryngitis is common among males with a mean age ranging from 15 to 63 years. There were five male and two female patients. The most common clinical symptom was hoarseness of voice (n = 7), dry irritating cough (n = 2), odynophagia (n = 1), discomfort in throat (n = 1), and dyspnea (n = 1). Laryngoscopic pictures of primary fungal laryngitis included leukoplakic lesions (n = 3), ulcerative lesions (n = 1), polypoidal lesions (n = 1), and nonspecific lesions (n = 2). Histopathological examination is confirmatory for the diagnosis. All the patients had taken antifungal treatment for 3–4 weeks after confirmation of the diagnosis. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of the primary fungal laryngitis is often overlooked and delayed among patients, as it is usually evident among immunocompromised patients. It often confuses with certain laryngeal diseases such as granulomatous diseases, leukoplakia, and malignancy. Delayed diagnosis and treatment will lead to high morbidity and mortality of the patients.

Leta Melaku, Guta Bulcha
BACKGROUND: Young adulthood is often marked by beginning of studying in university, in which certain factors contribute to the development of stress and stress-related illness. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress and their sociodemographic correlates among undergraduate medical students of Arsi University. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 265 sampled medical students. Participants were selected by a systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected by a pretested, structured, and self-administrative questionnaire. Afterward, it was double entered into EpiData-3.1 and was analyzed by SPSS-21 software. Logistic regression analysis was employed and statistical significance was accepted atP < 0.05. RESULT: In the present study, five questionnaires were rejected for incompleteness, giving a response rate of 98.1%. Ages of respondents ranged between 18 and 27 years. Most respondents were male (63.1%), single in marital status (75.4%), living in campus (91.5%), had low monthly income (52.7%), from 6th year (20%), orthodox believers (50%), and Oromo in ethnic (53.9%). The current prevalence rates of depression, anxiety, and stress were 52.3%, 60.8%, and 40.4%, respectively. From all sociodemographic characteristics, depression was specifically associated with monthly income and residency. Moreover, anxiety was significantly associated with residency and educational level. Finally, stress was associated with monthly income, 2nd year educational level, and residency. CONCLUSION: Generally, overall prevalence rate of depression, anxiety, and stress is alarmingly high among Arsi University medical students. Therefore, implementing a structured orientation program with stress reduction interventions and establishing a student counseling center is highly recommended.

Walk with mobile app to fight depression: An interventional study
Pradeep Tarikere Satyanarayana, Suhas Chandran
BACKGROUND: Mobile health solutions can address looming problems of health. Smartphones have been integrated into global population with minimal constraints. Walking is the most convenient exercise as it can be self-regulated in intensity, duration, and frequency. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A single group pre–post experimental study without any comparison group was carried out for a period of 12 months. A total of 150 study participants were enrolled using nonprobability sampling from households who had to walk for 40 min/day for 5 days in a week for 3 months with Google Fit health app as an exercise adherence tool, and mental health status was assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Data were entered using Microsoft Excel and were analyzed using SPSS version 22 (IBM Corp, USA). Statistically significant P value was defined asP < 0.05. RESULTS: Of the 150 study participants, 64 (42.7%) belonged to 21–25 years, majority belonged to nuclear family, 100 (66.7%) participants had completed high school, and 86 (57.3%) of study participants were females. Around 14 participants (9.3%) before the intervention were found to have depression postintervention of exercise therapy, only 2 (1.3%) had depression. The baseline evaluation done showed higher depression scores, and postintervention had lower scores there was a statistically significant difference in scores. The study participants in all age groups, different educational status, different type of family, and gender showed statistically significant difference preexercise intervention and postexercise intervention. CONCLUSION: Walking as an exercise although has established beneficial effects in preventing noncommunicable diseases, but its beneficial effects in fighting depression needs more evidence. Exercise can be a substantial alternative guided with health app to cope with the emerging noncommunicable diseases.
Nurses' perception on technology advancement in intensive care
Sudha Regmi, John Varghese Thekkekara
BACKGROUND: Fast changing technology applications in intensive care units (ICUs) are believed to enhance the result of nursing care. We expect the nurses to work with constantly updated technology and presume that they are receptive to any revised version of medical devices. The nurse's perception on technology is infrequently discussed in hospitals or among medical device manufacturers. AIMS: The aim of this study was to assess the nurses' perception about the advancement of technology in ICUs. SETTINGS: The study was conducted among the nurses working in different ICUs in a selected tertiary care hospital in Bengaluru, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS: An exploratory study was done using a hybrid method of qualitative and quantitative techniques. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with nurses having ≥5 years of experience in ICUs, and thematic analysis was applied. Quantitative data were collected from the population of nurses with 1 year or more experience using survey questionnaire. STATISTIACAL ANALYSIS USED: ANOVA test and sample t-test were conducted on the applicable parameter. RESULTS: Most of the nurses found that high-tech equipment in ICUs is easy to operate, reduce their effort, prevent errors, and increase the comfort of the patient. The study found that nurses' perception about the advancement of technology does not vary according to age, experience, qualification, and whether they have attended any continued nursing education on technology applications. Statistically significant relationship was found between total perception and the nature of ICU in which the nurses work. CONCLUSIONS: The study found that nurses perceive advanced technology in ICU as beneficial. Nurses expressed their satisfaction about the advancement of technology, and they perceive it as a good learning opportunity for them. The participants expressed their need for more training when equipment with advanced technology or a revised version is brought in.

DOI:10.4103/ijhas.IJHAS_108_19
BACKGROUND: In spite of being an integral part of family and pivotal force in any kind of progress, women are traditionally less involved in decision-making at all levels. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the extent of women's participation in household decision-making and find its correlates. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in rural and urban field practice areas of Bankura Sammilani Medical College, West Bengal, from January to June 2017. Married women were selected by multistage sampling. After obtaining informed consent, interview using a predesigned schedule was done at their houses regarding participation in various household-level decisions. The relationship between variables was determined by Chi-square test, unpaired t-test, and multiple logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Most of the participants were within 18–26 years of age and belonged to general caste of lowermiddle socioeconomic status. Majority of the participants in both the study areas were married for ≥5, homemakers with education ≥ secondary level and belonged to joint family. High level of overall participation was found among urban women than their rural counterpart. The extent of participation was statistically associated with age, occupation, and type of family in both urban and rural areas. CONCLUSION: Women's empowerment through vocational training and creating conducive environment for availing job is important for improving women's participation in household-level decision-making.

Santosh Kumar Swain, Tapan Pattnaik, Jatindra Nath Mohanty
BACKGROUND: Hormonal variations during pregnancy can lead to otological and rhinological manifestations. Majority of the manifestations have no harm to the expectant mother or fetus but some of them can become pathological. The objective of this study is to study the audiological and rhinological manifestations occurring during pregnancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a prospective study where 82 pregnant women participated. Otological and rhinological manifestations were assessed by asking a questionnaire and detail clinical examinations of the ear, nose, and paranasal sinuses. RESULTS: The mean age of the pregnant women participated in this study was 24.62 years. The most common otological manifestation was blockage feeling in the ear, whereas the most common rhinological manifestation was rhinitis. Eustachian tube dysfunction was common in the last trimester of the pregnancy. CONCLUSION: It is important to have clinical knowledge in all clinicians regarding the manifestation of otological and rhinological manifestations and its treatment with precautions considering effects on mother and fetus during pregnancy.

Naresh R Makwana, Rohitkumar Vasabhai Ram, Sudha Khambhati
BACKGROUND: Increase in life expectancy brings certain health-related conditions with age. Malnutrition is an underlying factor for much morbidity and hence, its identification and appropriate intervention has a great value in averting poor clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE: The present study was conducted to find the nutritional status of elderly patients admitted to the hospital. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 163 indoor elderly patients from the different departments of a government hospital for the duration of 2 months and their nutritional status was assessed using internationally validated tools, Mini-Nutritional Assessment – Short form (MNA-SF). Data were entered and analyzed statistically using Microsoft Excel software. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of malnutrition among hospitalized elderly patients was found to be 10.43% and half of the patients (50.31%) were at risk of malnutrition, as per the MNA-SF score. The rate of malnutrition was high among male patients than female patients, and the prevalence of malnutrition rises with an increase in age. Hospitalized patients were found to have decreased intake of food, weight loss of >3 kg, restricted in mobility, and body mass index <19. More than half suffered psychological stress in the past 3 months and around 70% of patients suffered from mild-to-severe dementia or depression. CONCLUSION: Malnutrition among hospitalized elderly patients needs to be identified and intervened at the earliest to postpone or alleviate poor health outcomes.

Maha Ibrahim, Safaa Badi, Bashir Alsiddig Yousef
INTRODUCTION: Cough is one of the common symptoms that alert patients to seek medical attention from physicians, which may lead to an increase in the cost of health-care services. The pharmacist is one of the medical professionals to whom parents can go for consultation and request cough medications for their children. The study aimed to assess the knowledge and practice of community pharmacists toward dispensing of cough medication for children. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out among 325 community pharmacists using a pretested, standardized questionnaire. A stratified random sampling method was used to select the participants. The knowledge and practice were assessed, and then the associations between knowledge and practice with different demographic variables were assessed using Chi-square test and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. RESULTS: Of 325 participants, the majority of them were females (74.2%) with B. Pharm (73.5%) and experienced <5 years (68.6%). About 53.8% of pharmacists were showed to have moderate knowledge, whereas 35.7% and 10.5% of them had a high and low level of knowledge, respectively. Regarding practice, 56.6% was found to show a fair level of practice, whereas 11.4% and 32% showed a good and poor level of practice, respectively. The majority of pharmacists still dispense cough medications for children <2 years despite the lack of efficacy and safety. Antibiotics were dispensed by pharmacists to children with cough without prescription, in the presence of fever and cough for a long period. CONCLUSION: More than half of the participants showed moderate knowledge and practice toward dispensing of cough medication in children, no significant association between knowledge and demographic variables, but practice showed a significant association with participants' qualifications.
Employing Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation Model for the implementation of programmatic assessment in medical education delivery system in India
Saurabh RamBihariLal Shrivastava, Prateek Saurabh Shrivastava
The use of formative assessments in the delivery of medical education is not very common in Indian settings. In-fact, it won't be wrong to state that undue importance has been given to summative assessments, with most of the assessments targeting only cognitive domain and very less emphasis on psychomotor, affective or communication domain. The best approach to make all these essential things a reality is via resorting to programmatic assessment. This approach optimizes the process of certification of any medical student and can play an immense role in accomplishing the vision of the medical education delivery system in India. In-fact, one of the most promising ways will be to consider the planning and implementation by means of adoption of ADDIE's (viz. Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation) 5-steps model. In conclusion, programmatic assessment is the need of the hour and employment of ADDIE model can significantly enhance the process of implementation of the same in the medical education delivery system in India.

Kunal Khanna, Vijay Pal, Anil Kumar Malik, Tarun Dagar, Varun Garg, Madhur Verma
INTRODUCTION: Mortality data help in identifying the leading cause of death in populations and provide evidence to prioritize of disease prevention efforts. This study aims to describe the age and gender distribution and analyze the causes of fatalities certified after postmortem examinations to facilitate improved and more reliable certification of the cause of death. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This secondary data analysis is of data recorded from January 01, 2016, to December 31, 2017, in the postmortem registers of the forensic medicine and toxicology department of a medical college in Haryana. Probable time of death, time of conducting the postmortem examination, and the probable cause of death as per the police records are also entered in the register. The data were analyzed for age and gender distribution and cause of death. Diagnoses provided by postmortem examination were categorized. RESULTS: One thousand nine hundred and sixty-one postmortem examinations were conducted during the study period. About 52% of deceased persons belonged to the age group 21–40 years, 82.96% were male and 60% were from a rural area. Majority of deaths occurred at public places (57%). Deaths at home were more common among females (44%), while majority of deaths at public places occurred among males (59%). Unintentional deaths (74.50%) were more common. Deaths due to accidents were about 42.22%. CONCLUSION: Conventionally, the emphasis of postmortem examination has been viewed as serving the inquest. However, they now have an important role within public health such as surveillance and causes of death. There is a strong obligation to generate reliable information for formulating effective intervention policies.
Assessment of knowledge and practice of Sudanese renal transplant recipients about tacrolimus usage: A cross-sectional study
Tsabeih Osman Idress, Safaa Badi, Bashir Alsiddig Yousef
BACKGROUND: Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive drug used for the prevention of rejection in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). There are many factors that can affect tacrolimus blood levels, include nonadherence, blood sampling time, food effect, and co-medication. This study aimed to assess Sudanese KTRs knowledge and practice about tacrolimus use. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a descriptive cross-sectional hospital-based study. The study population was Sudanese KTRs under tacrolimus-based therapy attending the renal transplant outpatient clinic in Khartoum renal dialysis and transplantation center from April to July 2018. A total of 190 KTRs were interviewed. The collected data were manually scored, coded, and then analyzed using SPSS. RESULTS: Regarding overall knowledge, approximately 46% of enrolled KTRs have a low level of knowledge about tacrolimus therapy, and there is a significant association between KTRs knowledge and their level of education. There is a variation between the knowledge about tacrolimus monitoring and KTRs' practice. The primary source of information for the KTRs was doctors, and more than half of them never forget to take the tacrolimus. Only 32.1% of KTRs have nonadherence problems. The association between KTRs knowledge and their level of education and the transplantation period was statistically significant. Regarding tacrolimus side effects, 50% of KTRs said they have been informed or read about the drug side effects. CONCLUSION: Knowledge of the Sudanese KTRs enrolled in this study was inadequate, and the behavior of them when suffering from a new complaint was relatively good. Great efforts are needed to improve their knowledge, to maintain graft function, and to prevent graft loss.
Otomycosis due to Aspergillus versicolor
Santosh Kumar Swain, Priyanka Debta, Mahesh Chandra Sahu, Jatindra Nath Mohanty
Otomycosis is a common clinical entity seen in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. Aspergillus and Candida are the most common causative fungi in otomycosis. Aspergillus versicolor is an extremely rare causative agent for otomycosis. The clinical symptoms presented by patients are usually itching of the ear canal, otalgia, and discharge from the ear. The diagnosis of otomycosis is done on the basis of clinical presentations, microscopy and culture. The correct identification of A. versicolor is often challenging in routine clinical practice. Successful treatment of otomycosis due to A. versicolor requires prompt diagnosis and immediate treatment as delay or nontreatment may lead into rapid spread of this infection with lethal outcome. Here, we are presenting a case of an immunocompetent male presented with itching, ear discharge, pain, and ear block due to otomycosis caused by A. versicolor.

Congenital maxillomandibular syngnathia is a rare disorder. It is usually seen in association with various syndromes such as Van der Woude, popliteal pterygium syndrome, or in association with other defects. Isolated case reports of bony fusion of jaws are sparse. We report an isolated case of congenital fusion of the mandible and maxilla in a newborn baby and describe the clinical and radiological features of this anomaly. A brief review of literature is also presented.
Comparison of omentoplasty and tube drainage as treatment option in hydatid liver disease: A retrospective hospital-based observational study
Jehangir Allam Bhat, Shahida Akhter, Sajad Ahmad Sheikh
BACKGROUND: Hydatid disease remains an important parasitic infection requiring surgical intervention. The liver is the most common site of infection, and several methods of surgery have been described to treat this common disease. Extensive research is going on to find the best operative treatment procedure for hydatid liver diseases. AIM: The aim of the study was to compare the results of two surgical methods used in the treatment of hydatid disease of the liver, namely omentoplasty and tube drainage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-seven cases of hydatid liver were treated from January 2005 to January 2011, out of which thirty patients were treated with omentoplasty (Group A) and 27 were treated with tube drainage (Group B). The results of the surgery in terms of mortality, complications, hospital stay, and recurrences were analyzed by unpaired t-test or Fisher's exact test, and P value was calculated. RESULTS: Overall postoperative complications were seen in 9.4% in Group A and 22.5% in Group B. The average hospital stay and time to resume routine work in Group A was shorter as compared to Group B. The percentage of complications such as wound infections and abscesses formation were 3.4% each in omentoplasty group and 11.2% and 7.2% in tube drainage group, respectively. The comparison of infection frequency among two groups showed strong statistical significance withP = 0.002 in wound infection and 0.0014 in abscess formation. The comparison of jaundice development after both procedures was statistically insignificant (P = 0.037). No patient in omentoplasty group developed biliary fistula, and the percentage of this complication in tube drainage was 3.7%. The recurrence of hydatid disease in omentoplasty was nil and 7.41% in tube drainage patients. There were no recurrences in either group for a follow-up of 4 years. CONCLUSION: Omentoplasty is better and must be preferred operative procedure than tube drainage in the treatment of hydatid cyst liver disease.

Effectiveness of direct interaction and communication with patients, as one preanalytic parameter on reduction of urine culture contamination rate
Roumi Ghosh, Livia Khan, Saikat Bhattacharya, Prasanta Kumar Maiti
BACKGROUND: Urine culture contamination is the result of mixing commensal flora of the lower urinary tract during the collection of midstream urine. As patients themselves collect urine sample, urine culture analysis depends on their collection method, which is an important preanalytical issue. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted in the Department of Microbiology, Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research and SSKM Hospital, Kolkata, during the month of May and June 2016, with aim to assess the role of communication and verbal instructions explaining "Midstream clean-catch (MSCC) technique" before collection of urine to the adult female outpatients on urine "Culture Contamination Rate" (CCR). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three hundred and ninety-six female patients were assigned in one of the two groups: "I" (Instructed) group (n = 196) and "N" (Nothing) group (n = 200). Verbal instructions in local (Bengali) language only provided to the Group "I". Urine samples were processed in the laboratory. Laboratory technicians and microbiologists were blinded about the groups. Urine culture results were collected from laboratory records. RESULTS: The CCR in the Group I and Group N was 6.1% and 19.5%, respectively (P < 0.001). Positive culture was observed in 31.6% (62/196) in Group I and 24.0% (48/200) in Group N, which was comparable statistically (P = 0.09). Instruction and communication have been found to be more effective at reduction of urine culture contamination among patients of the age group of 21–30 years (P < 0.001) and lower socioeconomic class (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: CCR was significantly lower in the group who were provided verbal instruction for MSCC. Thus, proper collection technique may reduce the need of the repeat sample due to contamination and prevent from the unnecessary antibiotic treatment.

Samsung SmartThings Announce New Lineup Of Affordable Smart Home Tech
By Alexander Maxham June 24, 2019, 8:37am
Samsung's SmartThings is expanding its range of smart home tech today, with a number of new products, that are all much more affordable than its competitors' offerings.
In today's announcement, SmartThings announced the SmartThings Cam for $89.99, the SmartThings WiFi Smart Plug for $17.99 and the SmartThings Smart Bulb for $9.99. And of course, these will all support the existing SmartThings ecosystem.
Much like other SmartThings products, these will all work with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Samsung's Bixby assistant. The SmartThings Smart Bulb does also need Zigbee 3.0 for connectivity, as it does need to be connected to a hub.
First up is the SmartThings Cam. Now since it is much cheaper than most other smart cameras out there, it does cut a few corners. But it does still offer up 1080p video with HDR support. There's IR for night vision, two-way audio, person detection and there is also 145-degree field of view. SmartThings also offers up 24-hour cloud storage backup, for free and it'll work for up to four cameras. There is an option to for a 30-day backup and up to eight cameras for $7.99 per month of $79.99 per year. This will also work really well with Samsung's other products like the FamilyHub refrigerator.
The SmartThings WiFi Smart Plug, is pretty straightforward. It's a smart plug that you can control with your voice or with the SmartThings app. It's also one of those "mini" smart plugs. Basically, it's small enough so that it does not cover up the other outlet on the wall. These smart plugs usually go for around $30, but SmartThings is offering essentially the same smart plug for around $18.
Finally, we have the SmartThings Smart Bulb. This $10 smart bulb is not that flashy. It doesn't do colors, and it only does a warm white color (about 2700K). It can be dimmed however, but it cannot be tuned to other shades of white. It is still pretty bright at 806 lumens, but you'll save some cash on energy since it is a 9-watt light bulb. It does need to be connected to a Zigbee 3.0 hub, like the Amazon Echo Plus, though.
It's clear that with this announcement of these new devices, that SmartThings is looking to compete with its competitors by lowering the prices on its products. Getting into the smart home industry can be pretty expensive. Say you want to get some smart bulbs for your home, at $40 each, it's going to cost hundreds to turn every light into a smart light in your home. But at just $10 each, it's much cheaper.
On an interesting note, usually the WiFi smart plugs are the cheapest smart home product. That's not the case with SmartThings, as its new Smart Bulb is even cheaper. The Smart Plug does undercut Amazon's own smart plug that was already undercutting everyone else. Basically, SmartThings is bringing competition to the market, and that's going to end well for consumers. Getting cheaper and better products in the long run.
These products are all available today from Samsung's own website, using the link below.

Ashtanga Yoga (full name Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga) is a modern type of yoga, a series of stretching and gymnastic exercises that are combined with ancient yoga philosophy and breathwork. Many will believe that we are talking about the same thing as Patanjali, which was originally named Ashtanga Yoga but that is not the case. The Vinyasa is a transition between various positions and we are basically looking at a special yoga style that was popularized and codified by the work of K. Pattabhi Jois. Modern promotion used these days utilizes the term classical Indian yoga.
The main advantages of Ashtanga Yoga are exactly the same you would expect with all other types of yoga. Because of this, we can say that we are faced with a practice that is highly beneficial for both the body and the mind. Everything is made out of a combination of breathing and holding your body into some steady poses named asanas. By practicing the poses in Ashtanga yoga, you are able to stretch, tone your muscles and release your muscle tension. You basically end up having a very high stress resistance, your immune system will be stronger and the nervous system will be more balanced. Cholesterol is decreased and your blood sugar level will be a lot better.
Body benefits – you will develop flexibility and strength while toning your muscles and lubricating your joints. The internal organs will be stronger and chronic tension can be released. It should be added that circulation will be improved and you will feel refreshed and energized. Weight loss is increased.
Mind benefits – restless thoughts will be calmed, inner peace will be promoted and self-awareness will automatically be promoted.
Spirit benefits – deep stillness will be invited and you will be able to increase self-acceptance.

In Ashtanga yoga you need to synchronize your breath with the postures that you practice. This is a process that is not at all easy and that will lead towards many different extra benefits. Contrary to what you may be tempted to think at the moment, the truth is that this type of yoga will normally increase your strength.
We are faced with a vinayasa style yoga routine that combines flowing posture series with the use of rhythmic breathing. You thus receive a deceivingly strong body-mind workout. At the same time, you can reach internal cleansing, which is definitely rare in this hectic life.
The great thing about Ashtanga yoga is that it is not difficult to learn or practice. You will be able to reap in the benefits mentioned above and your life will surely be better, which is what you want at the end of the day.


Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are everyday heroes. The famous couple announced on June 14 that they were donating $288,000 ($72,000 for every member of their family) to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in honor of Donald Trump's 72nd birthday. They encouraged their fans to give too-even it was $72 or $7.20.
John and I are outraged to see and hear the horror stories of immigrant families seeking asylum and refuge in America being ripped apart due to the inhumane policies of the Trump administration. These actions are cruel, anti-family and go against everything we believe this country should represent. The ACLU is committed to defending the rights and humanity of these vulnerable families. In addition to fighting for immigrants' rights they're advocating for reproductive rights, voting rights, criminal justice reform, LGBT rights, 1st amendment rights and holding the Trump administration accountable whenever possible.
Today, Teigen shared just how much her fans had donated to the ACLU for the occasion: More than $1,000,000.
You didn't think your $7.20 would be much. Some of you gave $72 you barely had. In just two days, you guys donated over $1,000,000 to the @ACLU. Over 20,000 of you donated. You. Did. That. I am so grateful, so happy, so humbled and hopeful to live amongst you wonderful beings.
"You didn't think your $7.20 would be much. Some of you gave $72 you barely had," she wrote. "In just two days, you guys donated over $1,000,000 to the @ACLU. Over 20,000 of you donated. You. Did. That. I am so grateful, so happy, so humbled and hopeful to live amongst you wonderful beings."


NEW YORK—The Room, the boutique finishing facility located within Technicolor-PostWorks, New York, recently completed two months of post-production finishing on The Giver, the new film from director Phillip Noyce and The Weinstein Company. In a project involving numerous creative and technical challenges, the facility handled editorial conforming and color grading. The latter included applying the finishing touch to an onscreen world that undergoes a gradual transition from black & white to color.
Based on Lois Lowry's international bestseller, The Giver centers on a boy, Jonas (Brenton Thwaites), who comes to question the colorless, utopian community he has grown up in after learning about the "real" world from an elderly man (Jeff Bridges). The reawakening of the boy's memories and emotions is reflected in his growing ability to see in color.
Finishing commenced as editorial elements arrived at The Room's facility in Manhattan. Cinematographer Ross Emery, ACS, captured principal photography with ARRI Alexa cameras, while certain second unit and specialty scenes were shot with RED Epic, 35mm and 16mm cameras. The film cameras were used primarily for memory flashback sequences (rendered in vibrant color). Archival material, mostly originating on HD video, was also used in flashbacks.
Finishing editor Allie Ames conformed all this disparate source material into a common timeline in preparation for color grading. She also incorporated visual effects—eventually totally more than 700 shots—provided by Method Studios, Mr. X and other vendors. With new material and revisions arriving daily, editorial and rendering work proceeded virtually round the clock.
The first 25 minutes of The Giver are fully black & white. The visuals then begin a very gradual change to color lasting more than 35 minutes. Director Phillip Noyce and cinematographer Ross Emery began planning this transition in pre-production, with Emery conducting camera tests and preparing a saturation map covering every scene. During production, a DIT applied values from the saturation map to camera footage for review on set. Similarly, a dailies colorist applied Emery's saturation choices to dailies media provided to the editorial and visual effects teams.
The effect carries over and is expanded upon in the following scene when Jonas encounters Fiona (Odeya Rush). "It was one of those beautiful moments," recalls Emery. "We are still in the low saturation mode but then there is a close-up of Fiona and Jonas sees her in color for the first time.
Emery says that he found it fascinating to manipulate color in this way. It increased his sensitivity to the way audiences perceive and respond emotionally to color. "In one scene, early on, we played with two different versions, one that was pretty much black & white and one where we introduced a bit of blue," he says. "That forces the audience to shift slightly. It was interesting to see how different people reacted to it, and it was certainly a lot of fun playing with that stuff in the DI. To do that successfully, you need a colorist who is very sympathetic to the story and has a light touch, which Jack does.

Japanese GP 2017
Sunday Team Quotes
Sebastian Vettel, Japanese GP 2017
© RV Press
Lewis Hamilton (1st): "The start was okay, although the initial getaway was not spectacularly good, I had a bit of wheel spin. But from then on I had a good start and it was pretty much under control from there. I was trying to manage the pace and the tyres; it was a long way to go, it was the hottest the track had been all weekend, so that was really crucial. With the VSC towards the end, I lost a lot of temperatures in the tyres and waking them up was not so easy. I got stuck behind traffic, I was losing so much time and Max' car was so big in my mirror. It was very close for a couple laps, but I was able to keep it together. It was not an easy walk in the park today, it was a win that I had to work very hard for. Great race by Max, I enjoyed racing him. It's almost unbelievable to think we are where we are in the championship. I was excited to race Sebastian today, but he was obviously very unfortunate. It's still a long way to go, there are still a hundred points. I'm just going to keep my head down and hopefully will continue to be in a form like this."
Valtteri Bottas (4th): "It was a close fight; especially in the end I was getting closer to Daniel, but there just was not enough time anymore and the VSC didn't help either. The pace seemed to be okay, but coming to this race we always knew that overtaking is tricky. The strategy was good for me today. It created a good opportunity in the end, otherwise it would have been really difficult to even get close. The race was close to our game plan, but it would have been nice to be on the podium. We went through all of the scenarios before the race, so when Lewis caught up to me after his pit stop, of course I tried to help him win. I've definitely learned a lot again from this weekend. I now want to focus on the last few races, make the most out of them and see where we end up this year. I'm looking forward to Austin. I enjoy the track very much; it's where I got my first points in Formula One and I always love going back there."
James Allison, Technical Director: "Having departed Sepang with a good result but in poor spirits because of a tricky weekend, and having arrived here under a bit of a cloud regarding the performance of our car, it is nice to be leaving this weekend with an even stronger result and also off the back of a fine performance in qualifying and the race. This was welcome on many levels: first, for both championships; second, because we were able to categorically answer the questions regarding the development direction of our car; third because this was the vindication of a team that, even when it takes a blow, can spring right back up and apply itself to the challenge with fresh vigour. We have not exorcised all of our Sepang demons but every result like that is an opportunity to learn and improve. We have seen some of that learning applied here in Suzuka and we will continue to do the same for the remainder of the year."
Toto Wolff: "This was another perfect performance from Lewis. He controlled the race from start to finish, taking nothing more out of the tyres and engine than he needed to at any point. It got close with Max at a few points, especially in the closing laps when they came up on traffic and were struggling for tyre temperature, but he kept cool and brought it home to the flag. As for Valtteri, he recovered well from the gearbox penalty to claim P4 and come within a few tenths of a second of the podium. He had strong pace today and never gave up pushing to the end, it was a real battling drive. One look at the points standings might give us some brief comfort but there are still four races to go, 100 points to win in the drivers' title and, if the past weeks have shown us anything at all, it's that anything can happen in motorsport. We take no prisoners in how we claim our points - but we are all conscious that we have benefited from our rivals' misfortune and reliability woes in recent weeks. So nothing changes in our approach: we must take the next races one at a time, push to better understand the car and keep our humble attitude. That is the approach that has worked for us so far and the way we will continue until the final race in Abu Dhabi."
Red Bull-Tag Heuer
Max Verstappen (2nd): "This is my second year in a row on the podium here at Suzuka; it seems like Japan is a good place for me! Our car was very competitive in the corners but it meant we lost a bit on the straights and weren't ever really able to have a proper go at it. The degradation on the soft was really good and the balance felt good throughout the race, which is really positive in terms of finishing the season strongly. Lewis had some difficulties when he had traffic in front but at the end of the day he was controlling it. The traffic gave me a bit of a chance to close up and potentially have a chance to take him. It was a bit of a shame the back-markers came into play but I don't think it made a big difference, once Lewis had clean air I would have struggled to pass him. It just seems that the Mercedes struggle when following other cars closely. In the race it seems we are always more competitive than Qualifying, so I'm looking ahead to Austin and hoping we can carry this form on and get another podium. Two podiums in two weeks means I leave Asia extremely satisfied and excited to get back in the car in the US and try and extend this streak."
Daniel Ricciardo (3rd): "Overall the race today was a thumbs up for me. At the start of the weekend I said I wanted to get a podium in Suzuka and I got it. I can't go back on what I said and wish for more, but I need to look back at the start and the actual getaway as that was what cost me the place to Max and Ocon. The first 100 metres could have been better but otherwise the race was pretty lonely in third place. As fun as this track is on one lap it's tricky to do much in the race and very hard to follow another car. In the end it was actually nice to have some pressure from Valtteri to keep me pushing all the way to the finish. I felt confident I could keep third place in the closing laps if I drove cleanly and hit all the apexes, which is what I did. I'm happy to spray some more champagne, it's my ninth podium of the season which is a new record for me and to be in the position that we are now makes me pretty happy. It's really encouraging for the team to have another double podium, both cars are getting to the finish reliably now and we are also quick. We should be able to put up a good fight in Austin and Mexico and if we can keep this rolling into 2018 then absolutely we should be looking pretty good. All I have to say now is arigatooooooooo Japan."
Christian Horner, Sporting Director: "Great drives by both Max and Daniel today. After a good start Daniel unfortunately lost out to Esteban Ocon on the first lap but made a fantastic pass around the outside of Turn 1after the safety car restart and from there onwards we looked as if we had very good pace this afternoon and Max was able to stick with Lewis pretty comfortably in what turned out to be a one-stop grand prix. Towards the end of the race we saw a blister begin to appear on the inside of Max's front left tyre; despite having to manage that he was still able to catch Lewis and put pressure on him. It was unfortunate that there was a back-marker on the last lap that allowed Lewis off the hook or else it might have been a very interesting finish. Nonetheless a fantastic performance by both Max and Daniel to finish second and third here in Suzuka and achieve our first back to back double podium in the hybrid era."
Kimi Raikkonen (5th): "Our starting position today was not ideal. I did a decent start on the soft tires and in the first lap I tried to gain some positions, but when I attempted to pass a Renault I ran wide and lost some places; so I had to make them back. The feeling in the car was a little bit tricky all the way through the race, not the nicest balance; some laps were ok, some others a bit more difficult. It's quite tricky to follow other cars on this track; we did a fairly good job out of overtaking people but we were too far from those at the front. Obviously, the final result is far from being the best possible. As for Sebastian, I don't know what happened; we have made a lot of improvements over the last few years as a team, but now, for whatever reason, we suddenly seem to have technical issues coming out from nothing. It's kind of weird, our cars are running perfectly and suddenly on Sunday there is an problem that nobody expects. There is some work to be done on that side. Then we are going to push until the last lap of the last race and we'll see where we end up."
Sebastian Vettel (DNF, Spark plug): "I don't know if this situation has much to do with reliability. But we didn't finish the race, so there is a problem. I think it was a small issue causing a big one. We didn't have power already at the start and we tried to reset everything getting the power back, but something didn't work. Of course now the Championship is more difficult and not finishing the race doesn't help. I also said to the guys to get back home and have some rest because it's been a tough week with a lot of changes. Then we'll come back with a better package to do well for the last four races and then we'll see. Overall, I believe the team is in a good way. We are improving race by race and there are positive aspects too. But, of course, today you can't look too much at positive things."
Maurizio Arrivabene, Team Principal: "Once again, despite our car clearly having great potential, things did not go to plan. The problem that stopped Seb was down to a broken spark plug. We spotted that something was not right on the lap to the grid and we tried our best to fix the problem. Seb got a great start, but shortly afterwards we had to call him back to the garage prior to retiring the car. Kimi's race was compromised by his less than ideal start position, which came about because of the penalty he had to take for a change of gearbox following his accident in P3. From there, he was able to move up the order as far as fifth place. As I've said before, we know that the car, the drivers and the team are all on the pace. That is why we will tackle the coming races with great effort and even more determination. Right up to the last corner of the last Grand Prix."
Force India-Mercedes
Esteban Ocon (6th): "It was a great race, especially the start and the opening laps, and I was running third for a long time. We are still missing a little bit of pace to keep the big guys behind, but it was great fun fighting at the front. I tried my best to keep Ricciardo and Bottas behind, but they were just too quick and I had to let them go and focus on my race. The main challenge today was managing my pace because it was a one-stop race and it was important to look after the tyres so they would be strong at the end. I was running ahead of Checo, we had nothing to gain from the cars ahead and a comfortable margin to the cars behind. So the priority was to bring the car home and score the big points. It's been an awesome weekend and it feels as though we achieved the maximum, which is why this result is so enjoyable. We also learned a lot about the car, which will make us stronger in Austin, so that we can hopefully close the gap on the teams ahead of us."
Sergio Perez (7th): "I am very happy for the team with this great result, which was definitely the maximum we could achieve today. It was a relatively easy race: we had a strong qualifying session and we had good race pace, so we spent a lot of time on our own. I felt I was quicker than Esteban in the second stint and I had an opportunity to overtake him at the final restart, but we followed the team's instructions. We knew this would be the case so it wasn't a surprise, and swapping us wouldn't have made a difference in terms of points for the team, so I understand the team's perspective. In the end, Esteban did a great job during the whole weekend. The last two races have been really strong for us and I am very pleased with the results we have achieved. The 'Fuerza Mexico' message on the podium before the race meant a lot to me and I'd like to say 'thank you' to everyone in the paddock. The support my country has received in the last few weeks has been incredible and I hope we can keep helping, especially as we get ready for the race in Mexico later this month."
Robert Fernley, Deputy Team Principal: "The entire team can be proud of our performance this weekend. We've had the fourth quickest car yet again and took the fight to the teams ahead of us. Esteban's opening lap was magnificent as he muscled his way ahead of Ricciardo and ran as high as third in the early stages of the race. Sergio pretty much shadowed Esteban all afternoon and, once the pit stops were completed, we asked the drivers to hold station and bring home the points. We take further encouragement from the speed we have shown here, which has taken us a step closer to confirming fourth place in the championship."
Williams-Mercedes
Felipe Massa (10th): "It was a very difficult race for us today. I was struggling with the degradation of the tyres with both sets. The other cars had better pace than us today and it's difficult to understand why. At the end, I lost positions to both Haas in a move that was a little bit tricky, but they were much quicker than me anyway. If they didn't pass me there, I think they could have passed me afterwards with the pace difference. I'm not happy with the pace today, but looking at the problems we had, we still finished in front of Renault and Toro Rosso, and one point is better than nothing."
Lance Stroll (DNF, Tyre puncture): "I had a really good start and was up to 11th, but then I made a mistake in Turn 11, hit Magnussen and I think something went on the car. I had to box really early as I thought something was broken or I had a puncture. Then I had a long stint on the soft tyre, working my way back up, but we were out of the points at that stage. I then felt there was something a bit strange at the front end, and then had a puncture. It is always surprising when you get a puncture, as it is very much unexpected and unfortunate at the same time. I was very close to Ricciardo when I came back on the circuit, but I managed to brake without anything happening. Now we just have to turn the page, as it wasn't a lucky weekend for me, and look forward to Austin."
Paddy Lowe, Chief Technical Officer: "We had two very good starts, with Felipe retaining eighth and Lance doing very well to move up to 11th on the first lap. But very early on, Lance suspected he had a puncture, so we stopped to put on another set of tyres. This committed him to a two-stop race, which he executed with good pace, but very near the end he had a car failure which caused a puncture in the Esses and threw him off the circuit. On Felipe's side, he was going fine on a one-stop strategy but took a lot of damage on his car during the race. As he got towards half way, the pace degraded considerably. He lost two places from eighth, but was able to defend 10th and a single point from Alonso in a very tense finish. It was a tough race for both drivers. Even though it was only one point, it feels like one of the more difficult points we've scored, so well done to the team, and to Felipe and Lance, for all they've done this weekend."
McLaren-Honda
Fernando Alonso (11th): "We started 20th and we finished 11th, with a good recovery, with only one pit-stop, and starting on a used set of tyres. That was a pretty huge effort from everyone on the team. After the penalty on Friday night, due to the engine change, I think we deserved that one point - we fought hard for it. It was an unlucky situation with Felipe towards the end of the race. He was struggling a lot with his tyres when the Virtual Safety Car came out. That meant he could breathe a little bit during those laps. Then, in the last two laps, the leaders of the race caught up with us, and Felipe again missed out on an attack, and ultimately took the point for 10th place. We'll try again in Austin. Hopefully with no penalties. And from our usual grid position. And with some better luck..."
Stoffel Vandoorne (14th): "We've had a couple of good races; but today's was one to forget, really. I made a reasonable start, then, as we went into Turn Two, and everyone was trying to find some space, I got hit by Kimi. I don't think it was intentional, it was just cars being in the wrong places at the wrong time. My afternoon was compromised from that point - I fell to the back, and drove my own race to the flag. Nonetheless Suzuka is a very special place, so it's just a shame we couldn't get a good result for all the thousands of fans in the grandstands today. The team deserves a bit of a break after this tough Asian triple-header. They've done a fantastic job in the past three races, now it's time to go back to Europe and hit back hard in the final four races."
Eric Boullier, Racing Director: "Today was just not our day, despite two strong and relentless drives from Fernando and Stoffel. After the difficulties of qualifying, Fernando drove with fearsome commitment today, but was unlucky to walk away without a point, despite a stirring chase of Felipe. Stoffel's race was compromised at Turn Two, when he was pushed down the order after being hit by Kimi. But that's what happens in racing, sometimes, and he too pushed hard for the remainder of the afternoon. Still, on the whole, this Asian triple-header has been a positive one for the whole team. We've scored some useful points, and I certainly think that we come out of it stronger as a team than when we went in. We'll definitely put that momentum to good use in the final four races. Finally, I want to pay tribute to two important groups of people. First, to the whole team for their indefatigable spirit and hard work over five gruelling weeks overseas. Theirs has been a tremendous effort, and I am remarkably grateful for their sheer effort and commitment. Second, I want to pay my regards, as ever, to the remarkable Suzuka fans. Their spirit, and enthusiasm is incredibly inspiring, and, while we couldn't reward them with a strong result today, we're grateful for their support, their passion for McLaren Honda, and for Formula 1 as a whole. We'll push hard in these final four races with a renewed momentum and confidence."
Yusuke Hasegawa, Honda: "It was disappointing that we were unable to finish in the points in our final home grand prix as McLaren Honda. Fernando started his race from the back of the grid but he maintained a competitive pace with the cars running ahead. He just narrowly missed out on 10th place after chasing down Massa in the closing laps. I think he had the pace to score points today, so it's a shame. Stoffel started his race from ninth but he lost his position due to an unfortunate incident at Turn Two immediately after the start of the race. Luckily, he didn't have any significant damage and was able to continue on, but it was a difficult race and very much damage-limitation for the remaining laps. This is our home grand prix, so we obviously have very strong feelings for this race. I want to say a huge thank-you to all of the fans that turned out to support us and also to the team who worked tirelessly throughout the weekend - it is a shame they weren't rewarded with any points, but we still have four races left this season and we'll continue to battle to the end."
Scuderia Toro Rosso-Renault
Pierre Gasly (13th): "It was quite a difficult race, I'm a bit disappointed. The overall pace was not great today, and I was struggling quite a bit with the car. I still tried to do my best and, at one point, I was doing well to keep behind a Haas, but as soon as I started to close the gap it became too difficult to stay behind or try to overtake. Then, after a massive lock-up, we had to pit earlier than expected... so definitely not an easy one, that's for sure, but we'll keep pushing! We now have to analyse today's race and try to improve the overall performance."
Carlos Sainz (DNF, Spin): "How disappointing, this wasn't the way I wanted to end my time with Toro Rosso, that's for sure! I'd like to say sorry to the whole team for retiring on the first lap... I was trying to risk everything at the start to try and gain some positions, so I went around the outside at Turn 6 and I found a lot more dust on the track than I was expecting, and lost it; as simple as that. It's a shame, because I was really looking forward to finishing on a high here in Suzuka with the team but I'm going to remain positive: these three years here have been absolutely amazing - it's been an ideal preparation for me; the driver I am today, compared to the driver I was in 2015, is a more complete and better one, and this is thanks to Toro Rosso, who are a great group of professionals who have helped me a lot to become the driver I am today. It's going to be quite emotional leaving the track tonight..."
Franz Tost, Team Principal: "A very frustrating and difficult weekend for us. Carlos had to start today's race from the back of the grid because we had to change the complete Power Unit. He then went off half-way through the first lap and this meant that his race was over, unfortunately. Pierre started from P14 and was close to scoring a point, but we had to end up doing an extra pit-stop, which meant that, in the end, he finished in P13. The positive is that he finished the race and continued to gain experience at the wheel of the car. Generally, our pace over the weekend was not at the level we expected but, hopefully, we can improve in the next couple of back-to-back races in two weeks' time."
Haas-Ferrari
Kevin Magnussen (8th): "I enjoyed my race. We maximized our potential as a team getting P8 and P9 and scoring points. I don't think we could've hoped for better, so I'm happy for us. I feel I've had some good races lately, but just haven't had that bit of luck that I needed to get the points. Today, it worked out. Hopefully, I can keep this going and score more points over the last bit of the season. Results like today are definitely not easy to get. You need to get everything right, and I think we did today, so well done to the team."
Romain Grosjean (9th): "It's our second double-score for the team, so that's pretty awesome. I'm very happy for the team. I knew yesterday I had some great pace in the car. I couldn't show it as I was always behind Kevin all race long, but I had much more pace in the car. I wish I could've been ahead. I think I could've fought with the Force Indias, so that's pretty good. We figured out how to get the tires to work a little bit better. It's clearly the key. When they work, it's so much faster. When they don't, you just struggle. We still need to improve that, but I felt much better in the car. I was happy with the brakes, everything went well. It's going to be great heading to Austin now for our second race there. It's such a cool track. I'm looking forward to seeing all the fans welcoming us and, hopefully, getting some more points there, as well."
Guenther Steiner, Team Principal: "It's a great result for the team. It's our second time with two cars in the points. Both drivers drove a great race. It was flawless. It's the best we can do and we did it. I'm very proud of everybody. It was a weekend that started badly. It was complex, but it ended well and that's all that counts."
Jolyon Palmer (12th): "We had a solid last race, we started from the back and with one more lap, I think we could have had tenth. It's been a tough season but the team and I have been through a lot, I've been here since the start of this new era for the team. We've come a long way and I've enjoyed it. I wish the team all the best in the future."
Nico Hulkenberg (DNF, Rear wing): "That was frustrating as a good points haul was possible today. I had fresh Supersoft tyres for a short final stint. I was able to overtake a Toro Rosso straight after my pit stop to then set about attacking the HAAS. It's a shame, but a small metal component broke on the DRS mechanism which left it stuck open. We'll look at why it broke as we missed a good opportunity. I'm sure we can fight back, the car was pretty decent in the race today and there's plenty more to come from us in the final four Grands Prix."
Cyril Abiteboul, Managing Director: "Today was Jolyon's last race. It was particularly challenging as he had to start near the back due to grid penalties, but thanks to a good strategy and a solid race, he was able to move up six position and finish twelfth. His performance is another demonstration of his professionalism and his loyalty, and a very good way to bid farewell to the Renault family. We sincerely wish him the best. Nico was also having a strong race, he had a good start, making up positions and the strategy was playing out very nicely. Unfortunately, shortly after his pit stop, when he was in a good position to move up, we had to retire the car. It is very frustrating as reliability has been our weakness this season. Overall we've had disappointing back to back races without any points. We are in a tight battle in the Constructors' Championship and we need to make the most of each of the last four races. We will regroup before we head to Austin and come back with a renewed dynamic. I'd like to congratulate Red Bull Racing for their double-podium finish. They were very strong here again at Suzuka, which is a power sensitive track and demonstrates once again that on Sundays, the Renault engine works."
Sauber-Ferrari
Pascal Wehrlein (15th): "I can not be satisfied with today's race. I had issues with the balance of the car from the beginning of the race. I was not able to push as much as I would have done under normal circumstances. We are now looking at our data and trying to find the causes. Overall, a disappointing race for me here at Suzuka."
Marcus Ericsson (DNF, Accident): "A disappointing outcome to the race for me at Suzuka. The beginning of the race was looking quite good, as I was able to gain some positions shortly after the start. Unfortunately, I went off the track at turn nine and hit the barriers. I am now shifting my focus to the next race at Austin, and look forward to getting back in the car soon."
Frederic Vasseur, Team Principal: "It was a tough race for us. Marcus had a decent pace at the beginning, but he then went wide in turn eight and hit the wall in turn nine. As for Pascal, there seemed to be contact with another car on the first lap, so we need to further analyse to what extent his car was damaged. Now we have to focus on the upcoming races in the Americas."

Sony: It's "too early" for a Vita price cut, system won't get cheaper until after 2012
The Vita is a cool piece of hardware. It's powerful, it's stylish, and it offers some potentially innovative new ways to play games. Despite all that, the system has been selling rather poorly — even the 3DS, who people quickly labelled as "doomed" after its rocky launch, managed to sell faster. Sony has admitted as much themselves, citing poor Vita sales for their inability to meet their sales forecasts for the last fiscal quarter. A price drop would definitely help the situation, but Sony announced today that they don't plan to cut the Vita's $250 MSRP until at least the beginning of next year.
Speaking to Eurogamer, Sony exec Shuhei Yoshida explained Sony's reluctance to quickly drop the price of the Vita:
"At a certain point in the future we would like to address the pricing issue for some of the people who are waiting. But this year we are trying to add value by creating different types of bundles. We announced we will provide LittleBigPlanet PS Vita bundle pack. That's affordable for people who are looking for a good deal."
He went on to add that it was simply "too early" to talk about price cuts, and though he admitted that he knows that the Vita's pricing is one of the issues limiting sales of the system, he reiterated that the Vita wouldn't see a price drop until Sony's engineers can figure out a way to reduce the cost of manufacturing the system.
Yoshida also addressed the common criticism that the Vita simply doesn't have enough games to warrant a purchase, saying that generating new content for the system is a priority for Sony. The company announced a number of new games for the handheld system just a two days ago at Europe's Gamescom expo.
I understand that Sony doesn't want to lose money on their hardware, but despite their explanations, it's still hard to see why they're still so reluctant to drop the price of the Vita — the 3DS was in an arguably less dire situation this time last year, and Nintendo still saw fit to slash that system's price by a hefty $80, which increased holiday sales significantly. Obviously, the Vita is a much different system than the 3DS, but there's no denying that a lower price point would definitely help the system increase its user base. Still, Sony seems to be convinced that there are still people out there who are willing to pay $250 for a dedicated gaming handheld, even if the numbers don't support their assumptions.

Most of the time when we think about children in church, we think about what we can do for them. We think about what we can teach them, how we can keep them interested, and how we might make them feel comfortable.
But, actually, Jesus says that it might just be the other way around. We must, says Jesus, receive the kingdom of God like a child. But, how would we ever know how to do that if we weren't around kids? If we didn't allow them to teach us?
Children have the potential to be our spiritual teachers. Look around today, and listen for the lessons they can pass onto you about what it means to open yourself up to receive the kingdom of God.


President Donald Trump tweets NBC, 'SNL; should be tested by courts. This comes after the shows Christmas parody sketch, which depicts a world where Hillary Clinton was elected president.
This isn't the first time that the president has discussed the idea of taking action against "Saturday Night Live." He previously took a shot at the "It's a Wonderful Life" sketch in December.
"A REAL scandal is the one sided coverage, hour by hour, of networks like NBC & Democrat spin machines like Saturday Night Live. It is all nothing less than unfair news coverage and Dem commercials. Should be tested in courts, can't be legal? Only defame & belittle! Collusion?" he wrote at the time.
While it may seem that Trump is suggesting the FCC take action, he hasn't made any kind of formal move for the show to be investigated. This is likely due to the fact that the show's banner of comedy and satire largely makes it immune to the kind of investigation the president seems to be suggesting, as Entertainment Weekly reports. In his latest tweet, Trump is possibly referencing the equal time rule, which forces U.S. broadcast TV stations to give equal air-time to opposing political candidates. However, it's unclear if "SNL" could reasonably be subject to that rule.
Representatives for the FCC did not immediately responded to Fox News' request for comment.

Is Japan's PS3 Supply Drying Up?
Buying one is hardly an impossible feat; however, recently there do seem to be a higher percentage of retailers with the machine sold out.
Take that sign, which says that all colors of the PS3 are sold out.
At a Sofmap retailer, there are no laminated PS3 tickets you can take to the register to exchange for a PS3 — meaning, this shop has no PS3s in stock. There are PS2, Xbox 360 and Wii tickets as those consoles are in stock.
All this comes as a notice surfaced, stating that 80GB PLAYSTATION 3 sales would cease on August 9. The surfaced notice was apparently from retailer 7-Eleven (7-Eleven sells video games in Japan) and stated that pre-orders for the Black, White and Silver 80GB PS3 will cease on Sunday, August 9 at 10am.
80GB PLAYSTATION 3 To Be Discontinued In Japan
The 20GB, 40GB and 60GB versions of the PS3 have been discontinued. According to this, it looks…
And now, look, days later and Japanese stores are out of the Black, White and Silver PS3! Though, it's still unknown how widespread this actually is and if this phenomena is only occurring in isolated stores or is nationwide.
The rumor is that Sony will be unveiling a new PS3 model at the Games Convention in Germany and the decision to take the 80GB off the market in Japan is to make room for that new model.
今、都内ではPS3本体が売り切れらしい [オレ的ゲーム速報@刃]
jmsalal
No disrespect to the PS3 (I love my 60GB model), but this could be setting everyone up for something far gloomier than we're expecting. It would be great to have a more affordable PS3 model with a new design, and heaven knows Sony needs a model that's cheaper to manufacture. This may sound extreme, but Sony may be preparing to announce the death of the PS3 (like Sega did to the Dreamcast :-( ). The reason my outlook is so grim is that I see Sony still losing money almost 3 years after the console's launch, and they haven't been able to get the cost below $400 in the US despite stripping out features. Add in the waning support from programmers, plus the fact that standalone bluray players can now be had for $200 or less, and there's really no profitability in Sony continuing the PS3's support.
I'm sure this post will draw much criticism, and I hope all of this speculation isn't what transpires. I am, for the record, not a fanboy; I own all consoles this generation: PC, 360, Wii, DS, PSP, and PS3, and I own comparable numbers of games for each (about 20).


Meanwhile others, including ironically The New York Times, placed Philadelphia third on its current "places to go" list, noting that "a series of projects has transformed Philadelphia into a hive of outdoor urban activity." Other media cited among other things the benefits of Philly's transportation systems, historical and cultural attractions, and supply of great restaurants. Even a hometown guy, MSNBC's Chris Matthews, weighed in with his arguments in favor of the city.
One critical narrative missing from the discussion, however, has been the city's rich history holding conventions — as well as its remarkable record for transforming presidential nominees into presidents. Of the eight major party candidates nominated in Philadelphia, five went on to win the presidency, and one (Thomas Dewey) lost to Harry Truman after both were nominated in Philadelphia the same year (1948). Excepting 1948, only two Philadelphia nominees failed to win the presidency.
The GOP has been more likely to choose Philadelphia, having picked the city six times. In fact, the newly formed Republican Party in 1856 held their first quadrennial conclave in the city. They selected soldier, "Trail Blazer" and former U.S. Sen. John C. Fremont. Ironically, while the Republicans were nominating Fremont in Philly, the Democrats nominated Pennsylvania's own James Buchanan in Cincinnati. Buchanan carried his home state's 27 electoral votes, producing Pennsylvania's first and (so far) only president.
By 1872, former Civil War Union General Ulysses S. Grant was put forward at his party's Philadelphia convention in his re-election campaign against New York Tribune editor Horace Greeley, best remembered for his widely attributed "Go West, young man" quotation. Grant easily won re-election, while the unlucky Greeley died soon after the election.
In 1900, Republican William McKinley was nominated in Philadelphia for his second term while his Democratic opponent for the second straight presidential election was William Jennings Bryan. McKinley bested Bryan a second time, with an even larger electoral vote than he received four years earlier.
Roosevelt's opponent in his history making third election for president in 1940 was Wendell Willkie, corporate lawyer, energy company head, and former Democrat. Willkie received the Republican nomination in Philadelphia in 1940. The Willkie Clubs, and his large supporting demonstrations, helped him win the nomination but he lost the Electoral College vote decisively, 449 to 82, becoming only the second major party nominee to lose the presidency after being nominated in Philadelphia. The other was Fremont in 1856.
In 1948 Democrat Harry Truman was nominated in Philadelphia as well as Republican Tom Dewey. This was the only year both major parties nominated their candidates in Philadelphia. Not to be outdone, the city was also the site of the Progressive party convention the same year, which nominated Henry Wallace. Truman won in one of the most exciting presidential elections in history, turning what most pundits predicted as a sure defeat into a historic victory.
Finally in 2000, Texas Republican Governor George W. Bush was nominated in Philadelphia and faced Democrat Al Gore in the fall. That election was ultimately decided by the Supreme Court, when it rendered a contentious and politically controversial decision.
Altogether, there have been eight major party national conventions held in the city. The Democrats have held two, the Republicans six.
Democrats have won the presidency each time they have nominated their candidate in Philadelphia; excluding Dewey's 1948 nomination, Republicans have won the presidency for three out of five Philadelphia nominations.
Now that Democrats have selected Philadelphia for 2016, more than a historic winning streak will matter; electoral politics will as well. Pennsylvania, with its Democratic governor, Republican General Assembly and moderate electorate may be the wild card among electoral swing states.
Pennsylvania may do more than nominate a candidate in 2016; it might also elect a president.

Barsebäk slot () er et slot, der ligger i Barsebäck by i Kävlinge kommun tæt på Øresunds-kysten i Skåne, Sverige. Slottet menes at være fra 1100-tallet, i 1339 blev Barsebäck slot omtalt som sædegård. Slottet fik sin nuværende form i løbet af en større renovering og ombygning i 1889 og 1940. Hovedstrukturen er en tre-etagers 1800-tals efterligning af hollandsk renæssancestil, med det formål at få det til at ligne de mange oprindelige renæssanceslotte, der stadig findes i det skånske landskab.

Historie
Efter den Skånske Krig blev Barsebäck slot, i lighed med alle andre af den danske adelsslægt Thotts besiddelser i Skåne, konfiskeret af den svenske krone. I 1743 blev slottet købt af den svenske oberst og regimentskommandør Gustav David Hamilton, stationeret i Malmø, som efter forfaldet under den svenske krone nødvendigvis måtte renovere bygningerne.

Slottet er stadig ejet af familien Hamilton. Det er ikke offentligt tilgængeligt.

Q: ZeroMQ Request/Reply does not reply in one direction I use ZeroMQ's C interface to distribute computation among several machines. Locally, everything works as expected with tcp://localhost:5555. However, when running client and server on two machines A and B, the request and reply only works when the server is running on A and client is running on B. If it's the other way around, only the request is received on B and the client on A never receives the reply.
To verify, that I setup everything correctly, I compiled the first example from the ZeroMQ guide but there is the same problem.
What could be the cause of this behaviour?

A: The problem is most likely caused by two incompatible versions of 0MQ.
This is a known problem with 0MQ v3.0.x, 3.1.x, 3.2.0, 3.2.1. These versions all used an undocumented, incompatible version of the protocol (with no version number, so very hard to get interoperating), which was finally fixed in 3.2.2 stable. If you're running the older version, and this may have come with the language binding you're using, upgrade it. If there are serious reasons why you cannot upgrade, e.g. you have clients in the wild who are using the older versions, ask on the zeromq-dev list, someone may be able to help. For what it's worth, the protocol now has version numbers, and is backwards compatible with previous stable releases (2.2 and 2.1).
