FLUITECH actuators are mounted directly to valves or adapted to the valve by means of an intermediate bracket and coupler. The coupler adapts the output of the actuator to the valve shaft. Standard mounting kits provide mounting of the actuator in the direction of the pipe. Pipelines can be horizontal, vertical, or other positions. When mounting the actuator to a valve using a mounting kit, the pinion drive, coupling device and valve stem should be centered and concentric to prevent any side loading to the bottom pinion radial bearing and valve stem seal area.
After mounting, it may be necessary to adjust the end of travel stop for proper open or closed valve position.Pneumatically stroke the actuator several times to assure proper operation with no binding of the coupler.

Лже-Себастьян I — (по прозвищу «Король Пенамакора», , подлинное имя неизвестно; XVI век — не ранее 1588 года), самозванец, выдававший себя за короля Португалии Себастьяна I, погибшего во время крестового похода на африканский континент (XVI век). Прозвище дано в честь городка Пенамакора, где он был опознан и взят под арест.

Себастьян I и легенда о нём
Источники единодушно отмечают, что настоящий Себастьян I был одним из самых малозначительных правителей в Португалии XVI века. Отличавшийся слабым здоровьем и хрупким телосложением (результат многих близкородственных браков в семье — у Себастьяна по обеим родственным линиям было только четыре предка вместо обычных восьми!) будущий король родился после смерти своего отца и был воспитан иезуитами. Известно, что всю свою короткую жизнь Себастьян провел в воображаемом мире, где был паладином Иисуса Христа, призванном освободить Землю от «неверных». Король относился с отвращением к браку и мечтал о монастырском уединении.

Так или иначе, Себастьян I возглавил крестовый поход в Марокко, где погиб в Битве при Эль-Ксар-эль-Кебире. На нём пресеклась Ависская династия, и страна, оставшаяся без короля, на многие годы перешла под испанское владычество.

Но легенда о Себастьяне начинает формироваться через несколько лет после его гибели. Н. Я. Эйдельман, исследователь феномена самозванчества, заметил, что для появления многочисленных лже-правителей должны соблюдаться несколько условий.

Первое и важнейшее из них — ожидание избавителя. Появляется тогда, когда жизнь тяжела, и народ не видит иного выхода из положения, чем помощь «доброго государя».

Вторая — искомый король, царь, владыка, должен быть молод или пробыть на троне очень незначительное время, не успев совершить ничего достойного. В таком случае он остается в народной памяти «неизвестной величиной которую можно при желании заполнить любым содержимым». Именно это произошло с Себастьяном.

Он превратился в «скрывающегося» или «спящего» короля, который, само собой, пробудится и придет на помощь своему народу в самый критический момент, составив таким образом компанию королю Артуру и Фридриху Барбароссе. Слухи о «чудесном спасении», о «плененном короле», которого коварные вельможи объявили мертвым, стали ходить практически с момента его гибели в битве у Алькасер-эль-Кебир. Они поддерживались и питались очевидцами, рассказывающими о том, как король исчез в гуще врагов, и после его никто уже не видел, что на поле битвы тело короля не было найдено, а изуродованный труп, выданный в конце концов султаном Феса, мог принадлежать двойнику и т. д. и т. п. Почва для появления самозванцев была готова.

Ранние годы
Ни испанские, ни португальские источники не донесли до нас подлинного имени этого человека. Не сохранилось и его изображений. Считается, что будущий «король Пенамакора» родился в Алкобасе в 14 км от Лиссабона в семье горшечника. Всю жизнь, впрочем, он провел в столице, с подросткового возраста работая приказчиком в лавке по продаже четок. В 1578 году во время свирепствовавшей в столице эпидемии чумы, его хозяин счел за лучшее уехать из города, а молодой приказчик (ему было в то время около 20 лет) решил постричься в монастыре кармелитов. Возможно, это было импульсивное решение, вызванное страхом перед чумой, или попытка понять самого себя, так как в свете дальнейшего трудно представить этого человека монастырским затворником.

Так или иначе, в монастыре он не прижился, и через несколько месяцев был отослан прочь. Впрочем, ему оставили монашеское звание и право носить рясу, чем он немедленно воспользовался. Будущий самозванец пересек всю страну, питаясь подаянием и останавливаясь в монастырях, пока не осел в Альбукерке близ испанской границы, где принялся жить отшельником в заброшенном монастыре.

Слава о юном отшельнике разнеслась довольно быстро и у него появились богатые покровительницы, одной из которых, что особенно важно, была молодая вдова, чей муж сопровождал Себастьяна в Марокко и пал в том же бою.

Впрочем, монах времени не терял. Рассказывали, что в компании веселых молодых людей, изрядно подогретый вином, он шатался ночью по улицам города, нащипывая гитару и распевая во все горло, что в тихой провинции вызывало настоящий шок, и устраивал самодеятельные концерты в доме своей покровительницы.

В конце концов, жалобы на неподобающий образ жизни молодого монаха дошли до ушей местного падре, и тот, чтобы избежать скандала, счел за лучшее выдворить будущего претендента вон из города. Покровители снабдили его конём, одеждой и деньгами на дорогу, причем денег оказалось даже чересчур много. Полиция заподозрила в богатом монахе вора, и он, вместо того, чтобы ехать в Алкабасу, в гости к отцу, как было задумано сначала, вынужден был спасаться бегством. Считается, что именно в это время он стал рассказывать о себе, что принял участие в битве у Алькасер-эль-Кебир, и деньги — его военная добыча. Ввиду того, что монах знал несколько слов по-арабски, ему поверили, но таким образом он, сам того не зная, сделал первый шаг по пути самозванчества.

Явление короля
Как было уже сказано, монаху поверили, но в окрестных деревнях появился упорный слух, что это сам дон Себастьян в монашеском платье путешествует инкогнито, скрываясь от врагов. Забавно, что подлинный Себастьян был минимум на десять лет старше своего предполагаемого двойника, но как саркастически замечает Мигель Мартинес, «если уж народ захочет верить, он верит несмотря ни на что».
Слухи распространялись и множились, и вот уже десяток деревень были доподлинно уверены, что молодой монах не кто иной как король дон Себастьян, скрывающийся от предателей-придворных, или из-за проигранного сражения наложивший на себя семилетнюю епитимью. Кто-то даже разглядел под монашеской сутаной золотой королевский меч!

Вероятно, в начале всей истории, молодой монах пытался опровергать эти слухи, но потом, разобравшись, какую выгоду они ему приносят, решил воспользоваться ситуацией. Как это часто бывало в истории самозванчества, короля сделало окружение.

Претендент завербовал ещё двоих, один из которых выдал себя за дона Криштобама де Тавора (фаворита подлинного Себастьяна I), другой — за епископа де Гуардиа (ярого противника испанского владычества). Преступная троица поселилась в Пенамакоре, недалеко от испанской границы, где возникло крошечное подобие двора, и что особенно важно, ручьем стекались деньги. Количество приверженцев лже-Себастьяна росло с каждым днем. Впрочем, для того, чтобы раздобыть себе мелочь на карманные расходы, а заодно привлечь новых сторонников, триада мошенников прибегала к одному безошибочному приёму.

«Монарх», «епископ» и «придворный» колесили по стране, останавливаясь на постоялых дворах или в богатых имениях, ели и пили в своё удовольствие, а когда приходило время оплачивать счет, «епископ» с притворной таинственностью обращался к хозяевам: «Если бы вы знали, кого принимаете…», и после долгих уговоров «по секрету» рассказывал, что у них остановился не кто иной, как король Себастьян, после чего уже речи не было о деньгах. Наоборот, лже-короля умоляли принять подарки, ему выражали почтение, и количество последователей продолжало увеличиваться.
Молодой монах отвечал с доброй улыбкой «Ах, уж этот дон Криштобам, он так и не научился держать язык за зубами!.. Но если уж вы оказались посвящены в мою тайну, заклинаю вас хранить молчание» — в чём тотчас получал полное уверение, более того, количество сторонников претендента росло как на дрожжах.

Арест и разоблачение
Безоблачная жизнь самозванца, конечно же, не могла продолжаться долго. Рассказы о лже-Себастьяне дошли до ушей лиссабонского правительства, было начато расследование, имевшее целью выяснить подлинное имя и место рождения самозванца. Оно ничего не дало, но местный судья, доктор Лейтам, получил приказ арестовать самозванца. Сделать это было непросто, так как претендента защищало множество обманутых и искренне верящих в него людей. Однако же, нашлись те, кто предпочёл не ссориться с правительством и выдал самозванного короля за деньги.

На первом допросе он показал, что не знал ни отца ни матери, что сходилось с биографией короля, чей отец инфант Жуан Мануэль умер незадолго до его рождения, а мать, испанская принцесса, большую часть времени жила на родине, руководя процессом воспитания сына с помощью писем. Эти показания вызвали волнения толпы, и опасаясь, что самозваного короля освободят силой, местные власти сочли за лучшее отправить его в Лиссабон.

Появление самозванца в столице, где хорошо знали и помнили настоящего короля, вызвало всеобщее удивление. За Себастьяна, белокожего, хрупкого, светловолосого, выдавал себя крепкий смуглый брюнет, обладатель угольно-чёрных волос и бороды.

Здесь он уже никого не мог обмануть. Лже-Себастьяна посадили на осла и с позором возили по улицам, выкликая, что он самозванно присвоил себе королевское имя.

Процесс вел Диогу де Фонсека, королевский прокурор. Но никаким способом не удавалось добиться от лже-Себастьяна правды о его настоящем имени и происхождении. Даже под пыткой тот продолжал твердить, что арестован незаконно, и желание нескольких сумасшедших увидеть в нём короля Себастьяна никоим образом не может дать материала для обвинения.

Двое сообщников были приговорены к смертной казни. Сам «король Пенамакора» сумел избежать немедленной смерти и был приговорён к пожизненной каторге на королевских галерах. В 1588 году мы находим его в роли гребца на одном из судов «Непобедимой армады», отправленной Филиппом II против Англии. Однако во время стоянки в одном из французских портов самозванцу удаётся бежать, и затем его следы теряются окончательно.

Each vRealize Operations for Published Applications component handles authentication differently.
When an RMI connection is established between the desktop message server and a desktop agent, or between the broker message server and a broker agent, the agent requests a certificate from the server to perform authentication. This certificate is validated against the agent's trust store before proceeding with the connection. If the server does not provide a certificate, or the server certificate cannot be validated, the connection is rejected.
Connections to the desktop message server require an authentication token to verify that the connection is coming from a valid desktop agent. The desktop agent generates a unique authentication token for each remote desktop.
When an RMI connection is established to the broker message server, the broker message server requests a certificate from the client to perform client authentication. The certificate is validated against the trust store for the vRealize Operations for Published Applications adapter before proceeding with the connection.


There have been moments in the experience of each of us when our hearts have longed for comfort. The word most frequently used for "comfort" in the Old Testament would imply something of this deep inward desire, expressing itself so often in a sigh.
The first mention of the word is found on the lips of Lamech as he named his son — Noah. His utterance in Genesis 5:29 intimates that he was feeling the sorrows of a cursed earth, and looked forward to something in which he could find rest or repose, as the name Noah signifies. Alas! the world in Noah's day was morally unaltered; it was unable to afford any comfort to the hearts of men; even after the flood it lay under the divine indictment "the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth," (Genesis 8:21).
The history of God's earthly people shows very plainly the forlorn and comfortless condition into which they came as turning their backs upon God. "How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! . . she hath none to comfort her" (Lamentations 1:1, 2). "The comforter that should relieve (or, revive) my soul is far from me," (v.16). To this day they remain bereft and comfortless, but we see from Isaiah, Zechariah and other Scriptures that God has "good and comfortable words" in view for them, and when their "day of salvation' (Isaiah 49) shall have come, brought by the "beautiful . . feet of Him . . that announceth salvation" (Isaiah 52), then shall they "break forth into joy" singing "the Lord hath comforted His people, He hath redeemed Jerusalem."
In Psalm 23, which has been a solace to the people of God throughout the centuries, the Psalmist says "Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me." The rod (or, sceptre) conveys the thought of correction and the staff that of support, but the comfort itself is experienced because both correction and support are known as in the company of the Shepherd, for the verse reads, "Thou art with me: Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me." As we pass through a scene unable of itself to yield any element of comfort, and filled as it is with all kinds of moral dangers, how comforting it is to know that the "Sceptre shall rise" and destroy all that is found in opposition to God and to His people (Numbers 24:17), and will also maintain that which is right and consistent with His own nature (Psalm 45:6).
There are many Scriptures which convey the thought of comfort as connected with the rod of the Lord. In Ezekiel 20:37 we read, "I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant." Again in Jeremiah 33:13, 14, Jehovah speaks of His flock as counted under the rod, saying "I will perform that good thing which I have promised." Then, too, in Micah 7:14, we have the words, "Feed Thy people with Thy rod, the flock of Thine heritage." As we contemplate the comfort which God has in mind for His earthly people as passing them under the rod, dealing with them thus because they are His, shall we not value with increased appreciation the grand objective which the Lord has in view for His people in our own day as He passes us under the rod of correction, removing in the chastening that which is inconsistent with Himself in order that "we might be partakers of His holiness," (Hebrews 12). What positive comfort such words are to the heart that truly loves the Lord, and desires to be here for His interests.
In his second letter to the Corinthian believers the apostle Paul speaks of God as the "Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort." This is a most precious title, and whilst the word used carries with it more the thought of encouragement, the two meanings are not unrelated to each other. Our source of comfort and of encouragement is in God Himself. What perfect understanding the blessed God has of all our needs, and what infinite resources from which he can meet those needs, ministering comfort to our hearts in doing so. As encouraged by Him it is our happy privilege to act in like manner towards others, and how extensive the circle of those needing comfort is! "Who comforteth us in all our tribulations, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God." How precious a service! perhaps rendered in obscurity, but valued by God who is Himself the Source of all encouragement. A letter to a bereaved saint; a visit to the sick-bed; a word of cheer to the depressed; a helping hand to the harassed and weary; a word of encouragement to the young in the faith. In many and various ways the comfort wherewith we ourselves have been comforted can be ministered to others.
In Romans 15:4, we read of the "comfort of the Scriptures." Here again the word has the force of encouragement. In Psalm 119, in which we have some 174 verses containing references to the word of God (expressed by several different words, but all referring to His word), the Psalmist in verse 50 uses the usual word for comfort, "This is my comfort in my affliction; for Thy word hath quickened me." Again in verses 76 and 82 the thought of comfort is connected with the word of the Lord. In a world so full of perplexity and uncertainty, where men's hearts are surely "failing them for fear," how thankful we are to have recourse to the Holy Scriptures. What comfort and encouragement is ours as we see in them the mind of the blessed God revealed, and the outpourings, too, of His eternal heart of love. The evil rampant in the world is all under the eye of God; nothing is out of control, all will be judged and removed for ever. Our souls can rest in His love and His power.
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path," (Psalm 119:105). "Truly the light is sweet" says the Preacher (Ecclesiastes 11:7), and in this scene of moral darkness what comfort there is in possessing the pure light of the unalterable word of God, a lamp for each footstep, and our whole pathway illumined by the light of God.
The word of God is food for the soul; it is refreshment to the thirsty; it is the source of strength for the overcoming of the "wicked one" (1 John 2:14). Untold comfort and encouragement is to be found in the Scriptures.
In Acts 9:31 we read of "the comfort of the Holy Ghost," He who is Himself the "Comforter." This was something known and appreciated by the early believers in a very practical sense, it was no mere theory or doctrine, they "were walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost." As indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God untold wealth is available to us in this the Spirit's day. Many Scriptures speak of the service of the Holy Spirit, but the words of the Lord Jesus Himself in John 14, 15 and 16 as He speaks of the Comforter, manifest His tender consideration for His own during the time of His absence from them. That which He predicated of the Holy Spirit is for us to enjoy, a divine Person with unlimited power and affection abides with us for ever. He knows our every thought and desire, and is ever ready to engage our affections with the glories of Christ. Thus immeasurable comfort is ours as we are found walking in the power of an ungrieved Spirit.
1 Corinthians 14:3 refers to a ministry of comfort, or encouragement, which is to characterise the service of those who serve the saints of God. "He that prophesieth speaketh unto men in edification, and exhortation, and comfort." This is a challenge to each of us. Fleshly zeal and human wisdom could never effect this. How necessary then to be ourselves in the enjoyment of the "comfort of the Scriptures," and to know in reality and power the presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit of God, the Comforter, in order that any service rendered by us may be for the encouragement of those whom we serve.
Finally, we have the precious verse in 1 Thessalonians 4:18. The apostle in that chapter had been enlarging upon the details in connection with the Rapture, that wonderful moment the thought of which thrills the hearts of all who love the Lord, and he concludes by saying "Wherefore comfort (or, encourage) one another with these words." Beloved brethren, what a ministry of comfort is open to each of us, as we take up this exhortation. This world is moving with increased acceleration towards the day of judgment; the spirit of anti-Christ is already abroad; persecution is the portion of "all that will live godly in Christ Jesus;" "evil men and seducers" are waxing "worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived," but the end for the believer is sure and glorious. "The Lord Himself shall descend . . we . . shall be caught up . . and so shall we ever be with the Lord" .
Thus the position abounds with comfort. Many things of necessity occupy our minds, but let us in reality say with the Psalmist, "In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul," and as thus delighting in what God is to us, may we be able in power to comfort others "by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."

Die  Gesellschaft zum Schutz von Bürgerrecht und Menschenwürde e. V. (GBM) wurde im Mai 1991 in Berlin von entlassenen Wissenschaftlern, Juristen und Künstlern aus der ehemaligen DDR sowie vormaligen Mitarbeitern des Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit gegründet. Seit dem 10. Dezember 1992 war der Verein im Vereinsregister des Amtsgerichts Charlottenburg eingetragen. Die GBM war gemeinnützig.

Die GBM war 1994 Gründungsmitglied des Forums Menschenrechte, aus dem sie 2012 ausgeschlossen wurde, nachdem sie sich geweigert hatte, sich von ihren Äußerungen zum Mauerbau zu distanzieren.

Politikwissenschaftler, Historiker und Opferverbände der DDR-Diktatur warfen der GBM und insbesondere dem Stasi-Insiderkomitee DDR-Apologie, Geschichtsklitterung und  Geschichtsrevisionismus vor.

Die GBM stellte im Dezember 2022 nach 31 Jahren ihre Tätigkeit ein.

Gesellschaftlicher Hintergrund

Medien
Die GBM gab ab 1994 die vierteljährliche Zeitschrift für soziale Theorie, Menschenrechte und Kultur: Icarus heraus, deren Erscheinen 2012 aus finanziellen Gründen eingestellt wurde. Weiterhin erschien Akzente, die Monatszeitung der GBM.

Daneben war die GBM Herausgeber verschiedener politischer Bücher über die Nachwendezeit sowie einiger Karikaturbände. Nach Einschätzung des Verfassungsschutzes Berlin von 2007 "lassen die GBM-Publikationen (…) eine deutliche Distanz der Autoren zur Bundesrepublik Deutschland und ihrem politischen System erkennen".

Mitgliederstruktur
Prägend für das Bild in der Öffentlichkeit waren ältere Personen mit und ohne SED-Kader-Vergangenheit, die nach 1990 ihre Ämter oder Reputation als Angehörige der DDR-Funktionselite oder als Künstler, Wissenschaftler oder Juristen verloren hatten. Die GBM selbst sah sich als parteiunabhängig an.

2010 hatte die GBM nach eigener Aussage 2500 natürliche Mitglieder in 30 Ortsverbänden im Osten Deutschlands.

Angeschlossen als korporative Mitglieder waren verschiedene weitere Vereine, unter anderem die Gesellschaft zur Rechtlichen und Humanitären Unterstützung. Deren Mitglieder wurden nicht zu den GBM-Mitgliedern gerechnet.

GBM-Logo

Das GBM-Zeichen war eine Blaue Rose. Das Logo wurde vom ehemaligen DDR-Staatskünstler Walter Womacka entworfen.

Politische und wissenschaftliche Einordnung
Der Historiker Christian von Ditfurth ordnete 1998 die GBM als eng verflochten mit der PDS ein, ebenso wie die Gesellschaft zur Rechtlichen und Humanitären Unterstützung und die Initiativgemeinschaft zum Schutz der sozialen Rechte. Gleichlautend äußerten sich auch 1999 der DDR-Bürgerrechtler Konrad Weiß und 2006 das Thüringer Sozialministerium, das erklärte, die Stasi-Leute seien heute gut organisiert in Vereinigungen wie der Gesellschaft für Bürgerrechte und Menschenwürde oder der Gesellschaft zur rechtlichen und humanitären Unterstützung.

2004 erwirkte die GBM durch Gerichtsurteil eine Unterlassungsverfügung gegen die Autorin Anna Funder, die in ihrem Buch Stasiland Anschuldigungen gegen die GBM erhoben hatte.

In einer Veröffentlichung der Bayerischen Landeszentrale für politische Bildungsarbeit wurde sie 2006 als ein Beispiel für Organisationen, die sich mit der politischen und juristischen Unterstützung von SED- und MfS-Aktiven befassen, aufgeführt.

In einem ausführlichen Bericht des Berliner Verfassungsschutzes von 2007 heißt es:  "Im Vordergrund der Vereinsarbeit steht die Wahrung von DDR-Traditionsbeständen sowie die Mitgliederbetreuung bei der Rentenberatung." Die GBM sei somit "zum einen Interessenvertreterin, zum anderen DDR-Brauchtumspflege- und Traditionsverein. […] Eine  Beeinflussung des GBM-Vereinslebens durch ehemalige  MfS-Angehörige ist nicht feststellbar. […] Sollten ehemalige MfS-Bedienstete eine relevante Gruppe in der GBM darstellen, so nutzen sie den Rahmen der GBM nicht für ihre Agitation. […] Bei den Auftritten ehemaliger, zumeist ranghoher Stasi-Offiziere bei öffentlichen Veranstaltungen seit 2002 hat  die  GBM  wahrscheinlich  keine koordinierende  Funktion." Ferner heißt es in diesem Bericht: "Das Demokratie- und Legitimitätsverständnis der GBM entspricht immer noch dem der SED von 1946 bis 1989." Er sieht die GBM als "Plattform für Personen, die nach 1990 ihre Ämter oder Reputation als Angehörige der DDR-Funktionselite oder als Künstler, Wissenschaftler oder Juristen verloren haben".

Der Historiker Hubertus Knabe bezeichnete die Mitglieder 2007 als "DDR-Nostalgiker", deren Tätigkeit "ein organisierter Kampf für die Interessen von Stasi- und SED-Kadern" sei.

Der NDR verpflichtete sich 2007, "zukünftig zu unterlassen, zu behaupten oder zu verbreiten, Stasi-Offiziere hätten die Gesellschaft zum Schutz von Bürgerrecht und Menschenwürde gegründet". Dies war in der Talkshow Anne Will (Sendung Unrecht vergeht nicht: der lange Schatten der DDR am 30. September jenen Jahres) behauptet worden.

Laut einem Bericht des Tagesspiegel  vom April 2008 sah die Berliner Innenverwaltung die GBM als "Zusammenschluss alter Stasi-Mitglieder".

In einem ausführlichen Bericht des Deutschlandfunks von 2009 hieß es, die GBM sei "eine kuriose Mischung aus Rentnerverein, der sich um die Anhebung der Renten Ostdeutscher bemüht, Menschenrechtsorganisation und DDR-Nostalgieverband."
Jonas Mueller-Töwe von T-online bezeichnete den Verein 2021 als "Interessenvertretung ehemaliger Stasimitarbeiter".

Ziele und Aktivitäten
Als obersten Zweck nannte der Verein den "Schutz der Menschenwürde", die "Aufdeckung von Menschenrechtsverletzungen" und "Beiträge zur inneren Einheit Deutschlands".

Im Mai 2011 legte die GBM dem UN-Ausschuss für wirtschaftliche, soziale und kulturelle Rechte eine Beschwerde über die Verletzung von wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Rechten insbesondere von Menschen in den östlichen Bundesländern vor, die der Ausschuss in seinem Bericht vom 12. Juli 2011 teilweise übernahm. In einem Artikel des Spiegels vom 11. Juli 2011 wurde die Arbeitsweise des UN-Ausschusses kritisiert.

Weiterhin war die GBM an einem Bericht mehrerer Organisationen an den UN-Ausschuss beteiligt.

Esports is on the rise, and so is the esports doping problem.
Endurance athletes (i.e., swimmers, cyclists) typically use performance enhancing drugs to hasten recovery times and increase stamina. Esports athletes, on the other hand, want to increase reflexes and improve concentration; so, they experiment with behavior modification drugs, like Ritalin and Adderall. Stimulants are also popular among gamers looking for a pharmaceutical edge.
Are There Formal Esports Anti-Doping Programs?
In 2015, a Counter-Strike player fessed up to using Adderall for a tournament. In response, the Electronic Sports League (ESL) — a leading event producer — cobbled together an anti-doping initiative, adopting WADA's 2015 banned substances list, which includes everything from anabolic steroids to cannabis to prescription drug agents. The ESL enforces the bans by conducting random saliva tests at events.
Recently, an executive at the Esports Integrity Coalition addressed doping. He reminded attendees that the industry's growth is, in part, contingent on how it handles the issue. But some people wonder: Is this anti-PED push a PR creature that lacks enforcement teeth? Time will tell.

I have just tried starting my new Firefly RH3399 board for the first time, without success. The blue LED comes on and the optical socket has a red LED showing, but nothing is displayed on the HDMI monitor.
The monitor is happy that there is a DVI connection. I have tested the monitor and HDMI/DVI convertor lead using the HDMI output on a Windows laptop, and it works.
I can detect the Firefly on the network. The local DHCP server on my network has assigned it an IP address, so I can ping it. I see that the Firefly's Ethernet MAC address is 92:AD:30:72:9C:27 (a "private" MAC address). I tried connecting using telnet and ssh, but for both I got "Connection refused".
I set up minicom on a Linux workstation, on ttyUSB0 at 1500000 8N1, but get no response when I type on the terminal. I also tried sending <BREAK> H, which would normally give me a response on a Linux target, but I assume Firefly is running Android by default and possibly SysRq is disabled.
I pressed the power button momentarily, and the blue LED went off. I pressed it again and the LED came on again.
I tried momentarily pressing RESET, then quickly typing on the serial debug terminal, but nothing happened. (I hoped to get into U-Boot).
Can anybody help me get an HDMI display working, help me establish communication over Ethernet and the serial port?
Also do I need an M.2 SATA adapter board (for SATA HDD)? None was provided in the kit, although the assembly diagram does show a HDD mounted on the bottom acrylic plate.
You can use adb to comunicate with board.
Network adb just setprop below and adb connnect 3399IP .
Thanks for your reply. However, I need to enable Ethernet debugging on the board first, and I couldn't do that with no display and no other way to communicate with the board.
I found that the board is fussy about the type or resolution of the monitor. When the monitor cannot be supported, it seems the Firefly-RK3399 does not inform the user through a "beep code" or flashing LED code, but the display just stays dark. It did not work with a 1600x1200 or a 1920x1200 monitor, but a 1920x1080 did work. A 4k monitor also worked.
Is there any documentation about supported monitor specifications?
RK3399 support CEA mode resolution(TV) . Detail you can google it.
By the way, if you are trying out the board with an HDMI monitor for the first time, you don't need anything else plugged in except the HDMI monitor, the heatsink fan and the 12V power input. If the monitor works you should see the Firefly logo within a couple of seconds.

The Seven Wonders Of India And Why They're So Renowned
by Treebo Hotels on August 9, 2018
India is a land of much wonder. In every state, there is something worth seeing. And not just worth seeing, worth travelling thousands of miles to see. But which ones must you see first?
Well, here are seven we think are good candidates. The wonders include a monolith, places of worship, even a university and a marvelous mausoleum. Let's have a look.

Little Girl Blue Remixed: Limited Edition Pink Vinyl
MOVLP1571P
Little Girl Blue Remixed is available as a limited edition oindividually numbered copies on pink vinyl.
Perhaps not as well known to the general public, Bethlehem Records earned its place in Jazz history with the release of debut albums from artists like Carmen McRae, Chris Connor, Herbie Mann and Johnny Hartman. Besides that, check those early covers - pure art! Bethlehem's most famous release is the 1958 debut album by Nina Simone, Little Girl Blue. So when DJ Maestro got the chance to remix this album, he was thrilled. Soon he got the idea to ask some of his favourite producers to collaborate, like Mop Mop, Renegades of Jazz, Gramophonedzie, Fab Samperi, The Reflex and Mees Dierdorp. One thing they all had in common: excitement to work with the original recordings from this iconic album. The result is 14 remixes, each with a unique approach to the original song, and all with a contemporary feel.

Counterfeit and illegally imported refrigerants pose real safety and health concerns to HVAC technicians and consumers, as we detailed in our earlier post (see Beware of Fake Refrigerants!). In recent years, with the curtailment of the refrigerant R-22 and its subsequent rise in price, this problem has gotten worse. Now, there is much more scrutiny by the various authorities such as the EPA, IRS, and customs officials.
The HVAC industry now has much greater focus on recordkeeping and knowing the source of all supplies. To fight against counterfeit labeling, one refrigerant manufacturer has added a patented security hologram that provides immediate visual verification that the refrigerant is a genuine DuPont product. The Izon® label is a unique 3D security system and contains an embedded code that allows for greater product tracking and traceability (see more info here). Some refrigerant suppliers have begun routinely testing the contents of refrigerant cylinders they receive, using a halide test or a portable refrigerant analyzer, to spot contaminants and counterfeit products before they wind up in a consumer's system.
Price: If the pricing you are quoted seems too good to be true, it probably is. The going price per pound for R-22 is about $45-95, and for R-410a it is $30-70. Know what you're getting and whether the price includes installation. Get quotes from multiple suppliers. If one seems crazy low, it could be it is an illegal import or counterfeit.
Selling to Consumers: Although you can find cylinders of refrigerant selling online for much cheaper, it is illegal for a retailer to sell directly to consumers or to anyone who does not possess EPA 608 certification. If they will sell directly to you without this certification or do not ask to verify your certification, that is a big red flag!
Know your Supplier/Contractor: How long has your supplier or contractor been around? What is their reputation? Can you get in contact with them when you need to? Seek online or first-hand reviews from their customers. Verify that your HVAC technician carries Section 608 certification from the EPA. If they can't or won't show you proof of certification, that is a big red flag.
Verify the Cylinder: Look closely at the labeling of the refrigerant your technician is using. Product names such as R-22a, 12a and 290 should not be used in a residential HVAC system. Verify that the technician is adding refrigerant from a cylinder that is clearly marked to be the "right" kind (if your system needs R-22 that it says R-22 on it) and has the manufacturer's name on it.
Label Your Unit: Always insist your contractor/installer label your unit with the type of refrigerant they added. If they did use a legal R-22 substitute, such as R-422D, make sure it is labeled as such. That way, the next technician working on the system won't put R-22 in your now 422D unit.
If you're having to add refrigerant to your system, it means you have a leak (see our post Fix the Refrigerant Leak Now!). If you have an older HVAC system that uses R-22, consult a reputable HVAC technician to see if it makes sense to continue investing in your existing system or if you'd be better off replacing it with a system that uses the more environmentally friendly R-410A refrigerant. Unfortunately, R-22 charged units are not compatible with R-410A refrigerant, so you'll have to replace the entire system (to help you weigh the pros and cons, see our post Repair or Replace?). On the bright side, if you do invest in a new unit, it will be more environmentally friendly and energy efficient, so you'll save money on your monthly cooling costs… and those long-term savings can really add up!


Applying for university or college can manifest as a daunting procedure on its own. Also trying to get scholarships can feel as if a thunderous task. Applying just for scholarships doesn't need to be painful. Now you can find various scholarships using the web. Using websites to get scholarships probably are not painful, but it it's still time-consuming. You will likely have to send information at every site what is the right you desire to search. It's in your easiest interest to send your user profile as accurately even though painstakingly as it can be.
Choose several options as you possibly can so that you'll be given the greatest number of matching scholarships as they possibly can. This technique, you may well weed out those people you don't even think are worth their expense. A simple way for you to find college scholarships online is usually to Google scholarships or school funding. This, nevertheless, isn't always likely to take yourself to the majority reputable online sites. You would be taken that will contest sites plus scholarship web-sites.
With many scholarship search engines like Google, you is likely to find the fact that some scholarships or school funding require money to dab. Find out and about if which can be worth it in your direction. Only dispatch money generally if the scholarship is from the reputable base. Be sure to ascertain the significant difference between free college funding that use your caliber and scholarships that will be more such as contests, or that provide financial have. Any dollars is superior money, but it is also nice to grasp why anyone deserve the fact that money.
If you're a mistral student, it is time to start viewing getting grants in place of scholarships. You can learn how to apply meant for grants and even fellowships through asking one in every of your mentors. You will need to apply meant for grants in your own field. Ultimately, remember that it will require you hours to uncover and utilize pertinent scholarship grants. However, because ultimately you shall be earning many hundreds or a lot of money, it only seems sensible to save money time these days for earnings later on.
Are you trying to find the most effective way to boost the performance of employees in your IT department? What do you think about hiring a software consulting company? Well, employees working performance has a significant influence to your business growth in which the better the working performance is, the faster the business growth is. If you want to make your business grow maximally, you will need to make sure that all of your employees have excellent working performance. For this purpose, you had better make a regular assessment. From the result of your regular assessment, you can easily decide whether your employees need to improve their skills and knowledge.
As if you figure out that employees in your IT department have not been able to use software and technology well, you should consider hiring a software consulting company to help training your employees. For example, you can hire a software consulting company to provide Microsoft .NET training. In this case, what you have to consider is to hire the best consulting company because the quality of a training program or consulting service is determined by the quality of a consulting company. Meaning to say, the best software consulting company usually provides the best software support.
To find the best software consulting company, you had better conduct a survey. In your survey, there are 3 factors that should become your consideration. The 3 factors are track record, types of service, and commitment to clients. You had better choose a consulting company that has a good track record because such company usually has the capabilities to provide high quality Agile Scrum consulting. A company that provides several types of service will enable you to avoid lots of hassles and save money. Then, commitment to clients plays a crucial role in providing a service because a company that has a strong commitment to clients will do the best to be able to give the most suitable solution.

The Minnesota Joint Underwriting Association is created to provide insurance coverage to any person or entity unable to obtain insurance through ordinary methods if the insurance is required by statute, ordinance, or otherwise required by law, or is necessary to earn a livelihood or conduct a business and serves a public purpose, including, but not limited to, liquor liability. Prudent business practice or mere desire to have insurance coverage is not a sufficient standard for the association to offer insurance coverage to a person or entity. For purposes of this subdivision, directors' and officers' liability insurance is considered to be a business necessity and not merely a prudent business practice. The association shall be specifically authorized to provide insurance coverage to day care providers, foster parents, foster homes, developmental achievement centers, group homes, and rehabilitation facilities for mentally, emotionally, or physically disabled persons. Because the activities of certain persons or entities present a risk that is so great, the association shall not offer insurance coverage to any person or entity the board of directors of the association determines is outside the intended scope and purpose of the association because of the gravity of the risk of offering insurance coverage. The association shall not offer environmental pollution liability, product liability insurance, and completed operations insurance. The association shall not offer coverage for activities that are conducted substantially outside the state of Minnesota unless the insurance is required by statute, ordinance, or otherwise required by law. Every insurer authorized to write property and casualty insurance and personal injury liability insurance in this state shall be a member of the association as a condition to obtaining and retaining a license to write insurance in this state.
The association shall have a board of directors composed of 11 persons chosen as follows: five persons elected by members of the association at a meeting called by the commissioner; three public members, as defined in section 214.02, appointed by the commissioner; and three members, appointed by the commissioner representing groups to whom coverage has been extended by the association. The terms of the members shall be four years. Terms may be staggered so that no more than six members are appointed or elected every two years. Members may serve until their successors are appointed or elected. If at any time no coverage is currently extended by the association, then either additional public members may be appointed to fill these three positions or, at the option of the commissioner, representatives from groups who had previously been covered by the association may serve as directors. In the event that the commissioner assigns the responsibility for administering chapter 62F to the Minnesota Joint Underwriting Association, the board of directors must be increased by four additional members. The commissioner shall appoint two of the additional members, one of whom must be a licensed health care provider, and one of whom must be a public member. Association members shall elect the other two members, one of whom must be a representative of medical malpractice insurers, and one of whom must be a representative of personal injury liability insurers.
The authorization to issue insurance to day care providers, foster parents, foster homes, developmental activity centers, group homes, and rehabilitation facilities for mentally, emotionally, or physically disabled persons is valid for a period of two years from the date it was made. The commissioner may reauthorize the issuance of insurance for these groups and other classes of business for additional two-year periods pursuant to sections 62I.21 and 62I.22. This subdivision is not a limitation on the number of times the commissioner may reauthorize the issuance of insurance.
(2) the personal injury liability insurance account-liquor.

Trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides) is an important tree species for land reclamation. This study determined trembling aspen germination, establishment, initial growth and response to fertilizer on contrasting oil sands reclamation soils. In a greenhouse, eight soils varying in total nitrogen and available phosphorus were treated with no fertilizer (control), phosphorus and potassium (PK), nitrogen (N) and all three (NPK). Soil had the greatest impact on aspen growth when no fertilizer was applied with the best growth occurring on organic-mineral material soils where growth was positively correlated with extractable and foliar potassium but not to nitrogen or phosphorus. With PK and N fertilizer, growth increases were positively correlated with foliar phosphorus concentrations of the corresponding controls. NPK fertilizer caused greater growth, bud set and root:leaf mass ratio compared with PK or N fertilizer. Soil type had little impact on germination and establishment, indicating natural aspen seedlings can potentially regenerate on all of these soils. In oil sands mining reclamation where these soils are used as surface materials, organic-mineral mixes had the greatest potential without fertilizer. With fertilizer, NPK provided maximum growth and developmental benefits.

Do you think people should be forced to get health insurance?
Home More advice Politics & Law
I do not necessarily think people should be forced to take out private health BUT.. if people who are working they should be encouraged to take out private health insurance. The government could give out incentive to have private health, that means be less tax, faster hospital admissions etc. Having said that, people who do not work or decide not to take out private health should be made to wait to have surgery as it is the taxpayers who are paying for these surgeries...Nothing in the wrong is free so why should someone work their butt off and still have to pay for their operations when someone on benefit or is unemployed can be seen for free.

Many states already, force you to have auto insurance and nobody says boo to the fact, you have to purchase it and your cost is based on credit ratings, accidents, etc. There is no low income state subsidy for it. The healthcare issue doesn't even begin to make sense to me by comparison. But I do agree with Hayyim.
No, health insurance (like healthcare itself) is actually a consumer good, like a car or a house; I don't think you should force people to get it - even if everyone needs it. It's a personal choice people have to make based on their own desires, circumstances, etc.
If it's free, why not? It's only one more benfit to aid you ina difficult moment. If you have to pay, I dont see why force, some people simply don't have the money.
To buy, no. To get, yes, as taxpayers participating in a publicly funded universal health insurance program.
omg, where is the edit button. Spelling and grammar errors arhhh. "wrong should be world" etc etc
I agree. Nobody should be without effective, state funded healthcare. Regardless of their budget.
It isn't free, it will come out of working people's paychecks in the form of taxes.

Vata (Βάτος + -ά): Greek name of a wild berries species in Greece.
Commonly grown and used as a natural fence to mark and protect private properties in rural areas.
Their roots expand fast and deeply into the soil.
They prevent the growth of other species due to their uncontrolled roots.
Depending on their stage of growth, their taste range from sweet to sour.
The gardening culture is commonly used as an example of how a society should be arranged.
An authority shapes the garden, and it chooses what fits where, what will and how it will be used, and what stays out.
Hands (Χέρι + α): Part of the body used for manipulation, sensation, and communication.
Small gestures can indicate fear, trauma, care, need…
Looking at the hands, we grasp a sensation of a person's story.
A hand could practice acts of barbarism, or it could resist the vulgarity with its tenderness.
Using the hand, a plant is harvested, and its fruits are tasted.
To cultivate tenderness in soil invaded by Vata, uproot them to prevent regrowth.

Come hike with us! It's noon, our feet hurt and there is no water left on the island called Hydra. Going backwards in a loop around the coast we're getting bitten by the sun. So, we invent: a sunscreen workshop, a muddy workshop, picking bitter oranges and candying them to eat with handmade Halva. We brought some bedbugs from the hotel, nesting in wool blankets and blue sheets. It's getting late if we want to see the sun set but I will tell you my favorite story when we meet for the first time.
The three-year exchange program 'postdocumenta: contemporary arts as territorial agencies' is coming to an end. After spending two years in lockdown the participating artists finally meet each other on the island Hydra under the theme of cooking listening walking. The event in Circuits + Currents is an experiment to visualize this one week of being together, where we discovered artistic processes of interconnection and social practices as a counter position to the "survival of the fittest" in art industries

p o s t documenta: contemporary arts as territorial agencies was conceived and designed as an educational and artistic research program of intercultural exchange among students and academic staff from the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig and the Athens School of Fine Arts. The program started in early 2020, during the months that the covid pandemic broke out, and has been operating under health and safety restrictions of social distancing up until now. Its core aim to foster collaborative artistic praxis in between two different cities was therefore met with unprecedented challenges from the very beginning.
In this framework, the two partite exhibition Are we not plunging continually? is essentially a celebration of our first coming together. Not an actual physical encounter, but an encounter through artworks, raw ideas and quests for new perspectives that is yet to be fulfilled. The project connects the independent art space nyg|west and the LindeNOW Festival of art spaces in West Leipzig with Circuits + Currents, the project space of the Athens School of Fine Arts. Participating artists from both schools present new projects that developed through workshops with artists Mylasher (Leipzig) and Hypercomf (Athens), including individual artworks with shared approaches. Appropriating a quote by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche as expressing our common current condition, Are we not plunging continually? reflects an exploratory process that looks for tensions, affinities and connections between art practices that are separated by some 2,000 km, at a time where uncertainty has become the new normal.

Titled Are we not plunging continually?, the project connects the independent art space nyg|west and the LindeNOW#17 Festival of independent art spaces in West Leipzig with Circuits & Currents, the project space of the Athens School of Fine Arts. Participating emerging artists from the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig and the ASFA in Athens present works that developed through workshops with artists Mylasher (Leipzig) and Hypercomf (Athens), together with other individual projects. They investigate the fragile structures of the post-pandemic context, both in the urban space and in the natural surroundings of Leipzig and Athens, in an attempt to explore the conditions of extended artistic practices in two different places and to develop affinities and connections.
p o s t documenta: contemporary arts as territorial agencies is an educational and artistic research program by the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig (HGB) and the Athens School of Fine Arts (ASFA), and a DAAD project in the funding program "University Partnerships with Greece from 2020 – 2022".

The session examines material and factual remnants from the fetishization of the biological versus the fetishization of the digital, in the arena of "pre-" and "post-now" importance. Blurring and refocusing, introducing sensory calibration to the single-focus surface of the computer screen. Technical difficulties, high-definition and full-spectrum mechanical misunderstandings.
The quotidian of the digital homestead. Working from home, working like a dog, like a machine, like a bird, like a fish, like a parasite.

In the video essay »KANNAZUKI: The Month Without Gods«, I focus on two trips I took in September and October 2020 to the NW and SE of Greece. Both trips are part of an ongoing project, which involves traveling and object making and aims to visualize connections between Greece and Japan. I concentrate on three main themes: volcanoes, mythology and the act of transcription in the work of Lafcadio Hearn (1850 – 1904), Japanese writer of Greek-Irish descent. On the first trip, I drove to the island of Lefcada to trace the birthplace of Hearn and then travelled to Epirus to visit the Acheron temple of Necromancy. On the second trip, I drove to the volcano of Methana. I juxtapose images from Greece and Japan, talk about the trips, and describe how the experience feeds my artistic practice and vice versa.
I contemplate on the analogies between preparing and performing a trip and working on an art piece in the studio. Both actions involve choosing destinations, materials, and concepts, research, budgeting, timing, comparing itineraries or methods, and drawing out a detailed plan.

Στο φωτογραφικό δοκίμιο KANNAZUKI: Ο μήνας χωρίς θεούς, εστιάζω σε δύο ταξίδια που έκανα τον Σεπτέμβρη και τον Οκτώβρη του 2020 στη βορειοδυτική και νοτιοανατολική Ελλάδα. Και τα δύο ταξίδια είναι κομμάτι ενός συνεχιζόμενου εγχειρήματος που περιλαμβάνει το ταξίδι και την κατασκευή αντικειμένων, με στόχο να οπτικοποιήσει συνδέσεις ανάμεσα στην Ελλάδα και την Ιαπωνία. Εστιάζω σε τρία κυρίως θέματα: ηφαίστεια, μυθολογία και την πράξη της μεταγραφής στο έργο του Lafcadio Hearn (1850 – 1904), Ιάπωνα συγγραφέα ελληνοϊρλανδικής καταγωγής. Στο πρώτο ταξίδι, οδήγησα στο νησί της Λευκάδας για να εντοπίσω το γεννέθλιο τόπο του Hearn και μετά ταξίδεψα στην Ήπειρο για να επισκευτώ το Νεκρομαντείο του Αχέροντα. Στο δεύτερο ταξίδι, οδήγησα στο ηφαίστειο των Μεθάνων. Αντιπαραβάλλω εικόνες από την Ελλάδα και την Ιαπωνία, μιλώ για τα ταξίδια, και περιγράφω πώς η εμπειρία τροφοδοτεί την καλλιτεχνική μου πρακτική και το αντίστροφο.
Στοχάζομαι πάνω στις αναλογίες ανάμεσα στην προετοιμασία και την επιτέλεση ενός ταξιδιού, και την καλλιτεχνική εργασία στο εργαστήριο.

This event has now ended (arrest Nov. 15, 2016) is based on a found 42-second video, shot by a mobile phone, which records an arrest in the neighborhood of Exarchia, Athens, during violent incidents between police and anti-authoritarians on the occasion of US President Barack Obama's visit to Athens on November 15, 2016.
The found video has been converted to text, following the structure of a cinematic decoupage that is often used in the preparation of the shooting of a film. The text analyzes the narrative action of the corresponding found video, including also information about the shooting angle, the position of the camera, the size of the shot and the sound. The text that came out of this process becomes the central element of the new video. It runs vertically over a still image, depicting the interior of a squat in Exarchia that was evacuated by police in 2019.

Publishing is "making public". Publishing is political. Publishing can compel, persuade, inform, attract, confuse, script, or manipulate. Urgent acts of making public can mobilize communities and inspire change. In crisis, we see independent artists, community organizers, scholars, and activists collectively engaging with sophisticated modes of publishing to record and communicate in real time, while those in traditional positions of power use those same tools to engineer and control our defining narratives.
This syllabus focuses in particular on those queer strategies of resistance, refusal, and survival. As an overarching idea, urgentcraft explores the potential for radical publishing to gather and mobilize people around urgent artifacts and messages. As a syllabus, urgentcraft presents a range of artists, projects, texts, and concepts that foreground those strategies in recent history, as well as in contemporary independent publishing. As an expanding set of principles, urgentcraft identifies anti-racist ways of working in crisis, using art and design to fuel emancipatory projects and the movement towards liberation.

The video essay "Several Jagged Lines through Space," compiles source material, artworks, and research that responds to my ongoing research question: is Exarcheia an island? I take a psychogeographic and participant-observer approach to the Athenian neighborhood, and my research takes the form of interviews, archival research of media images to re-narrate minor histories, and on-site recordings in video, sound, and analog photography.
The artworks are speculative landscapes, natural histories, and not-the-news. They seek to perform an ontology of "crisis," by asking what is in crisis and for whom. The artworks also investigate spaces and modes of confrontation between constituent (and destituent) power and State power, and particularly how this is expressed spatially. This video essay is an intentionally fragmentary and episodic behind-the-scenes look at how my most recent work is made, as well as a meditation on the present of being a political subject while dwelling.

When a Classics professor in Ohio, reeling from the shock victory of Donald Trump, escaped to Athens for the documenta 14 exhibition, he had no idea that it would change him forever. His experience at the epicenter of the contemporary art world not only transformed his relationship to his academic discipline as a researcher and teacher, but also offered him new tools to resist the brute attacks of a populist regime against our democracy. No Philosopher King is a testament to the power of attention and engagement that resists tyranny, whether of the demagogue or the ideal Platonic philosopher king, as Minus Plato seeks to create a new form of resistance to forge an inclusive, diverse and responsible future for the US and the world.
A video reading performance of Minus Plato's documenta14 diary from his book No Philosopher King: An Everyday Guide to Art and Life after Trump (AC Institute Books, 2019). Featuring original photo documentation from the exhibition in Athens and Kassel. Recorded live on October 8th, 2020 through Zoom.

Cergy-le-Haut is a railway station in Cergy, a Paris suburb. The station was built in 1994 by the Agence des gares (J.-M. Duthilleul, É. Tricaud) and receives trains from Gare Saint-Lazare as well as the RER.

The station is half underground and was built in an area of openland fields, now built upon and is part of the network of stations serving the ville nouvelle of Cergy-Pontoise. It was part of a large project to develop the area and smart Parisian style buildings have been built next to the station around a plaza situated above the tracks. Cergy-le-Haut is not yet fully developed so fields are next to the station and next to seven-storey high apartment buildings.

Patronage is high so during the rush hours it is served by RER trains every ten minutes and by suburban trains every ten minutes. Trains on RER services are usually MI 2N and MI 09 whilst trains on suburban services is Z50000.

The birthmark can be formed of cysts and the mass is usually firm, and there can be small blisters on the surface. The two major forms of LM are mircocystic and macrocystic.
Most LMs, however, do not continue developing – which is a major difference between lymphatic and venous malformations.
About 75% of LMs occur in the neck and face area. The overlying skin can be healthy, or it may have tiny characteristic vesicles.
Most cases are clinically obvious; however an MRI scan is useful in evaluation.
Most lymphatic malformations are easily treated with sclerotherapy and some can be treated with surgery.
Lasers are primarily used to treat the blisters that appear on the surface of the tongue and mucosa of the mouth.
Sclerotherapy consists of an injection of a substance into the abnormal veins is and is effective in treating venous malformations and lymphatic malformations.
Surgery can be effective in treating macrocystic lesions. With respect to microcystic lesions, recurrence rates are usually high and multiple procedures are usually necessary.
The response rate in lymphatic malformations using Bleomycin is good. Bleomycin is administered in a number of treatment sessions. A series of injections is usually needed, (four on average), although this varies according to the size of the lesion. The time period between treatments is usually 3-4 weeks.
This is an extremely rare disease, occurring at any age, and includes a lymphatic malformation (birthmark) with progressive osteolysis (bone destruction). The diagnosis must be based on combined clinical, radiological and histopathological findings.
