Rosuvastatin is a selective and competitive HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor. This rate-limiting enzyme converts HMG-CoA to mevalonate, a precursor of cholesterol, Rosuvastatin has the main site of action in the liver, the target organ for cholesterol lowering. Rosuvastatin increases the number of hepatic LDL receptors on the cell-surface to enhance uptake and catabolism of LDL and inhibits the hepatic synthesis of VLDL, which reduces the total number or VLDL and LDL particles. Sinlip reduces high LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (total-C) and triglycerides (TG) and increases HDL cholesterol (HDL-C). Sinlip also reduces apolipoprotein B (ApoB), VLDL cholesterol (VLDL-C), VLDL-TG and increases apolipoprotein AI (ApoA-1). Sinlip also reduces the relationship LDL-C/HDL-C, total-C/HDL-C. Therapeutic response is seen within the first week of treatment with Sinlip and approximately after 2 weeks a 90% of the maximum response is attained. Maximum response is usually achieved within four weeks and maintained during long-term therapy.
Absorption: Peak plasma concentrations of Rosuvastatin are reached 5 hrs following oral dosing. The absolute bioavailability of Rosuvastatin is approximately 20%.
Distribution: Rosuvastatin is extensively absorbed by the liver, the primary site for cholesterol synthesis and LDL-C depuration. The volume of distribution of Rosuvastatin is approximately 134 liters. Rosuvastatin is approximately 90% bound to plasma proteins, mostly albumin.
Metabolism: Rosuvastatin is not extensively metabolized (approximately 10%). The main metabolites are N-desmethyl and lactone metabolites. N-desmethyl metabolite is approximately 50% less active than Rosuvastatin, whereas the form of lactone is considered clinically inactive. Greater than 90% of active plasma HMG-CoA reductase inhibitory activity is accounted for by Rosuvastatin.
Excretion: Approximately 90% of Rosuvastatin is excreted through the feces without modifications and the remaining 10% is excreted through the urine. The elimination half-life is approximately 19 hrs and does not increase at higher doses.
Sinlip is indicated as treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia (type lla including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia), mixed dyslipidemia (type llb), as an adjunct to diet in patients who do not respond adequately to diet or to any other non-pharmacological treatment (exercise, weight loss). Sinlip is also indicated in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, as an adjunct to diet and to other lipid-lowering treatments (e.g., LDL apheresis).
Sinlip is contraindicated in patients with: hypersensitivity to any component of this product; active liver disease including unexplained persistent elevations of serum transaminases and any elevation of serum transaminases that exceeds 3 times the upper limit of normal; severe renal insufficiency (Clcr < 30 ml/min); myopathy; patients taking concomitant cyclosporine.
It is recommended that liver function tests be performed before and at 3 months following the initiation of therapy with Sinlip. The dose of Sinlip should be discontinued or reduced if the level of serum transaminases is > 3 times the upper limit of normal.
As with other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, reports of effects on skeletal muscle, e.g. uncomplicated myalgia and myopathy, have been reported in patients taking Sinlip. In patients reporting weakness or unexplained muscle pain, particularly if accompanied by malaise or fever, it is convenient to assess CPK levels, Sinlip therapy should be discontinued if markedly elevated CPK levels occur (> 10 x ULN) or if myopathy is clinically diagnosed or suspected.
Clinical studies have shown no evidence of increased musculoskeletal effects in the reduced number of patients who received Sinlip with concomitant therapy. However, increased incidence of myositis and myopathy was observed in patients who received other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and fibric acid derivatives, including gemfibrozil, cyclosporine, nicotinic acid, azole antifungals, protease inhibitors and macrolides. Sinlip should not be used by any patient in an acute serious condition suggestive of myopathy or predisposing to the development of renal failure secondary to rhabdomyolysis (e.g. sepsis, hypotension, major surgery, trauma, severe metabolic endocrine and electrolyte disorders, or uncontrolled seizures).
Proteinuria, detected by dipstick testing and mostly tubular in origin, has been observed in patients treated with higher doses of Sinlip, in particular 40 mg. Proteinuria was usually transient and has not been shown to be predictive of acute or progressive renal disease.
As with other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, Sinlip should be used with caution in patients who consume excessive quantities of alcohol and/or have a history of liver disease.
Pediatric use: Safety and efficacy have not been established in children. Therefore, Sinlip is not recommended for pediatric use. Pediatric experience is limited to a small number of children (aged 8 years or above) with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
Vitamin K antagonists: As with other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, the initiation of treatment or dosage up-titration of Sinlip in patients treated concomitantly with vitamin K antagonists (e.g. warfarin) may result in an increase in international normalized ratio (INR). Discontinuation or down-titration of Sinlip may result in a decrease in INR. In such situations, appropriate monitoring of INR is desirable.
Gemfibrozil: Concomitant use of Sinlip and gemfibrozil resulted in a 2-fold increase in Rosuvastatin Cmax and AUC. Increased systemic exposure to Rosuvastatin has been observed in subjects receiving gemfibrozil and Sinlip simultaneously. Patients receiving this combination should not exceed one 10 mg/day dose of Sinlip.
Cyclosporine: During concomitant treatment with Sinlip and cyclosporine, Rosuvastatin AUC values were on average 7 times higher than those observed in healthy volunteers. Concomitant administration with Sinlip and cyclosporine did not affect plasma concentrations of cyclosporine.
Antacid: The simultaneous doping of Sinlip with an antacid suspension containing aluminium and magnesium hydroxide resulted in a decrease in Rosuvastatin plasma concentration of approximately 50%. This effect was mitigated when the antacid was dosed 2 hrs after Sinlip. The clinical relevance of this interaction has not been studied.
Cytochrome P450 enzymes: Results from in vitro and in vivo studies show that Rosuvastatin is neither an inhibitor nor an inducer of cytochrome P450 isoenzymes. In addition, Rosuvastatin is a poor substrate for these isoenzymes. No clinically relevant interactions have been observed between Rosuvastatin and either fluconazole (an inhibitor of CYP2C and CYP3A4) or ketoconazole (an inhibitor of CYP2A6 and CYP3A4).
Erythromycin: Concomitant use of Sinlip and erythromycin resulted in a 20% decrease in AUC (C-t) and 30% decrease in Cmax of Rosuvastatin. This interaction may be caused by the increase in gut motility caused by erythromycin.
Oral contraceptives: Concomitant use of Sinlip and an oral contraceptive resulted in an increase in ethinyl estradiol and norgestrel AUC of 26% and 34%, respectively. These increased plasma levels should be considered when selecting oral contraceptive doses.
Other medicinal products: There was no clinically relevant interaction with digoxin, fenofibrates, antihypertensive agents, antidiabetic agents and hormonal replacement therapy.
Sinlip is unlikely to affect the ability to drive vehicles or operating machines.
Pregnancy: Sinlip should not be used during pregnancy since the safety of Sinlip during pregnancy has not been established. Women of childbearing potential should use appropriate contraceptive measures. Since cholesterol and other products of cholesterol biosynthesis are essential for the development of the fetus, the potential risk from inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase outweighs the advantage of treatment during pregnancy. Animal studies provide limited evidence of reproductive toxicity. If a patient becomes pregnant during use of this product, treatment should be discontinued immediately.
Lactation: Rosuvastatin is excreted in the milk of rats. There are no data with respect to excretion in milk in humans. Sinlip should not be used during pregnancy or lactation since the safety of Sinlip during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established.
The adverse events seen with Sinlip are generally mild and transient. In controlled clinical trials, less than 4% of Sinlip-treated patients were withdrawn due to adverse events.
Nervous system disorders: Common: headache, dizziness.
Gastrointestinal disorders: Common: constipation, nausea, abdominal pain.
Musculoskeletal, connective tissue and bone disorders: Common: myalgia. Rare: myopathy and rhabdomyolysis.
Skeletal muscle effects: In clinical trials, few cases of rhabdomyolysis were detected in subjects receiving Rosuvastatin 80 mg, which were occasionally associated with renal function impairment. All these cases improved when therapy was discontinued.
Laboratory effects: As with other HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, a dose-related increase in transaminases and CPK has been observed in a small number of patients taking Rosuvastatin; the majority of cases were mild, asymptomatic and transient.
Proteinuria, detected by dipstick testing and mostly tubular in origin, has been observed in patients treated with Sinlip. Shifts in urine protein from none or trace to ++ or more were seen in < 1% of patients at some time during treatment with 10 and 20 mg, and in approximately 3% of patients treated with 40 mg. A minor increase in shift from none or trace to + was observed with the 20 mg dose. In most cases, proteinuria decreases or disappears spontaneously on continued therapy, and has not been shown to be predictive of acute or progressive renal disease.
Sinlip can be administered at any time of day, with or without food.
Before instituting therapy with Sinlip, the patient should attempt to reduce cholesterol with an appropriate diet, which will maintain during treatment. Dose of Sinlip should be individualized according to goat of therapy and the patient's response, following the current consensus guidelines.
The habituel starting dose is 10 mg once daily and most patients undergo a checkup with this dose. The dose should be adjusted to 20 mg, titrated at a 4-week interval, according to the patient's response. The 40 mg dose should only be used in patients with severe hypercholesterolemia and high cardiovascular risk, including those patients with familial hypercholesterolemia who do not reach the 20 mg treatment goals.
Elderly: No dose adjustment is necessary.
Renal insufficiency: There is no clinical evidence indicative of dose adjustment in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. The use of Sinlip in patients with severe renal impairment is contraindicated for all doses.
Hepatic impairment: There is no clinical evidence indicative of dose adjustment in patients with mild to moderate dose adjustment. However, increased systemic exposure has been observed in subjects with severe hepatic impairment. In these patients, the dose of Sinlip should not exceed 20 mg once daily.
There is no specific treatment in the event of overdose. In this case, the patient should be treated symptomatically and supportive measures instituted as required. Liver function and CPK levels should be monitored. Haemodialysis is unlikely to be of benefit.
Initial treatment for overdosage: After a close physical assessment of the patient, including the time that may have passed since the ingestion or administration of the medication, the quantity of toxics taken and after ruling out contraindication to certain procedures, the healthcare provider should decide whether or not to perform the general rescue treatment: provoked vomiting, gastric lavage, activated carbon, saline purge, etc.

Q: tfs 2017 Adding a png to a workitem attachment using the REST API I am trying to create an attachment for a workitem in TFS 2017. I found the "createAttachment" method in tfs REST API.
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/integrate/extensions/reference/client/api/tfs/workitemtracking/restclient/workitemtrackinghttpclient2_2#method_createAttachment
I was able to make this method work for text files. But what I need to do is create an image attachment. I have access to the byteArray content of the file and the base64 content of the file. But when I try to pass the byteArray I get the following error : "405 Method Not Allowed".
If I pass the base64 content of the image, the attachment is created but the image is not valid.
Here is the code I am using :
images_upload_handler: function (blobInfo, success, failure)
   {
   var client = _RestClient.getClient();
   var byteString = atob(blobInfo.base64());

   client.createAttachment(byteString).then(function (item)
      {
      console.log(item.url);
      });
   }

I need to find a way to create png attachment for a tfs workitem from inside a javascript custom control extension.
Thanks

A: Generally you need to upload the image in binary form without base64 encoding.
As the message said "405 Method Not Allowed", you can not create png image.
Howerver you can try to upload the png attachment to the attachment store, then attach it to the work item.

*

*Upload an attachment and the sample code : C#
(UploadBinaryFile method). (Note that you need to upload the
image in binary form without base64 encoding.)

*Add an attachment and the sample code : C# (AddAttachment
method)
And this article may also helps : Insert an inline image into a Work Item with the TFS API

UPDATE:
We can not create the png file, we can only upload the existing png file and attach it to the work items.

A: I was able to make it work by setting the processData parameter of the Post request to false. See the code below :
var byteString = atob(blobInfo.base64());
var ab = new ArrayBuffer(byteString.length);
var ia = new Uint8Array(ab);
for (var i = 0; i < byteString.length; i++)
   {
   ia[i] = byteString.charCodeAt(i);
   }

$.ajax(
  {
     type: "POST",
     contentType: "application/octet-stream",
     url: SERVER_URI + "_apis/wit/attachments?filename=" + blobInfo.filename() + "&api-version=1.0",
     data: ia,
     processData: false,
     headers:
        {
        'Authorization': 'Basic ' + btoa(":" + TOKEN)
        }
  }).always(function (data)
  {
     console.log(data.url);
  });

Show Strong's Numbers
If you want a Bible that answers the hard questions, then the Restoration Study Bible is for you. This attractive resource offers insight and clarity found nowhere else. It is the result of 150 years of in-depth study spanning three generations. The Restoration Study Bible examines the source languages behind the English text to reveal original meanings.
Many Features
In addition to restoring the sacred names Yahweh and Yahshua, this unique Bible has in-depth book introductions, genealogical section for important life events, thousands of eye-opening study notes, cross references, instructional charts, a topical reference, Strong's numbering and the Strong's Hebrew and Greek dictionaries.
It answers such questions as:
What is the Name of our Father in heaven and why is it important to New Testament Faith?
Did Paul really teach that obedience was no longer necessary?
What was the meaning of Peter's vision in Acts 10?
How did Sodom and Gomorrah suffer the example of eternal fire?
What is the meaning and impact of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse?
With all that it offers, we pray that the Restoration Study Bible will be your Bible of choice for in-depth research and learning. You no longer need to rely only on what "scholars" say - now there is a Bible that clearly proves the answers to these and hundreds of other perplexing issues that have troubled Bible students for centuries. It is a library in one volume.

Why the King James Version and Strong's?
The RSB is based on the King James Version (KJV). The KJV was chosen partly because of its universal use and acceptance. Along with Strong's Exhaustive Concordance numbers in the text, we have included the Strong's Hebrew and Greek dictionaries without alteration or modification at the back of this volume in which to reference those numbers. Each number identifies the word in Hebrew (Old Testament) and Greek (New Testament) from which the English words are translated. Many scholarly Hebrew and Greek lexicons and dictionaries employ Strong's reference numbers for the King James Version (e.g., The New Brown-Driver-Briggs-Gesenius Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament, The New Englishman's Hebrew Concordance, The New Englishman's Greek Concordance and Lexicon, The New Thayer's Greek Lexicon, The Interlinear Greek-English New Testament, and Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary). Making use of Strong's predominant numbering system was one of the key considerations in choosing the KJV for the Restoration Study Bible.

Lincoln, Sleaford and North Hykeham Liberal Democrats Promoting fairness, equality and opportunity across our area
Switch our Street Lights Back On!
Scrap Article 4
Oliver Craven: A Young Voice for Sleaford & North Hykeham
Posted by Kian Hearnshaw | Updated 2019-09-23
This week we've interviewed Oliver Craven about why he believes that he should be the next MP for Sleaford & North Hykeham and he's also spoken about why being a young candidate is important!
So tell me a bit about you
I'm Oliver, I'm 19 and I am the parliamentary candidate for Sleaford and North Hykeham. I'm one of the youngest Lib Dem candidates as well as one of the youngest for all parties nationwide! I also study engineering at the University of Lincoln and I have worked behind bars on top of a collection of other jobs.
What made you want the role?
I've felt very let down by our elected representative in Sleaford and North Hykeham and I know that I have the energy and ideas to fight for and improve our communities. As someone who has gone to school in a village in the constituency, I know how badly our education system is being treated by the government, and I want to change this. I believe in liberal values, such as tolerance and acceptance and I believe these values will help make Sleaford and North Hykeham an amazing place to live.
What are the three things you would like to do for the people of Sleaford and North Hykeham?
Our public services in Sleaford and North Hykeham have been failed time and time again by past governments, especially areas like the NHS and transport which have been chronically underfunded.
Large parts of the constituency are badly served by the NHS which will only get worse. The downgrading of Grantham A&E has pushed demand onto Peterborough and Lincoln, both a distant drive from much of the constituency.
Likewise, as anyone who has lived in the rural areas of the constituency will know, public transport is very poor. We need a stronger transport network in order to ensure that no one gets stranded and so that everyone can access opportunities in the next town or city.
Lastly, it is also vital that we protect farming from the damage that a hard Brexit would cause. Many farmers have expressed worries that they will not have the people required to harvest their crops next year and that they may be undercut by cheap, poor quality food from elsewhere.
What are the three things you'd like to change nationally?
First of all, I would like to Stop Brexit by revoking Article 50. This mess has gone on too long and it is clear that many of the benefits sold to the voters during the referendum will not materialise. The Liberal Democrats have been clear since 2016 that we need to Stop Brexit due to the many benefits of being in the EU. Things like a stronger economy allows us to invest in struggling areas and access to live and work in 27 other countries provides many more opportunities.
I would also like to see proper action on climate change. The Liberal Democrats have a clear plan to decarbonise the country that we can give to the civil service on our first day in government. Our plan would create tens of thousands of green jobs, cut energy costs and ensure that we all have quality green spaces to go to.
Finally, I would like to see trials of a minimum income. It is an absolute disgrace that many people in this country and in the constituency cannot feed themselves and their families or keep a roof over their children's heads. Rather than fall into the trap of blaming people for the circumstances they have found themselves in, it is time to be compassionate and as one of the richest countries in the world, we can afford to ensure that nobody lives in poverty.
What would you say to other young people wanting to get involved in politics?
I think the best advice I can give is to have confidence in yourself and in your opinions. There will be many people who look down on you because of your age and say you do not have enough experience, but the reality is the experience you have is just different from theirs. You will likely have had experience of an unstable and difficult job market, of university life and of poor housing. Use your experience to push for something better and have the confidence to fight for it.

BlackBerry maker Research In Motion's online store for third party applications finally has a name but there's still no sign of a launch date.
RIM will call its online applications store the BlackBerry App World. The site for developers will be updated tonight. There will also be a sign up page for users who want to be alerted when the store goes live.
The company has said earlier it plans to launch its app store in March. Developers have been allowed to offer submissions to the store since January. Last year, RIM participated in a $150 million fund to invest in mobile application developers who would create software for BlackBerry and other smartphone platforms.


I took her paw, squeezed through onto the top of a pipe, and, as I scurried after her, I glanced up and spotted acorns scattered over shelves above us. I frowned. I swear I saw that one move.
We climbed up into a small room. A tea light candle on the floor, which appeared to be on its last legs, lit Dell Grim and another mouse – while also providing a small, but appreciated, bit of heat. They spoke quietly to each other and warmed their paws over the flame. I glanced at the walls, and saw scratched building plans and possible entry routes – relics of previous missions – visible behind the jumping shadows of our bodies.
"This is agent Eve Pixiedrowner," Beatrice panted, waving one paw at me while catching her breath. "Oh, yeah, I forgot. Welcome aboard, agent." She withdrew a red bead necklace from her pocket and tied it around my neck. This symbol of the Micean Council, so respected throughout the animal world, would keep predators from eating me. Or so I'd heard. Pride swelled in my chest.
As Beatrice pulled away, I found my hand being pumped vigorously by a wild-eyed little house mouse with a thin, spotted coat of white and brown. "Gretchen Flix!" I heard a hint of a German accent.
Beatrice slapped me on the back. "Agent Flix here is going to be your mentor for this mission. I'll let you brief her and you can all get started." She flashed a smile at Gretchen, then scurried back down the rope and out of the room.
"Oh! We've got gear for you!" Gretchen dragged over a bag of stuff and dropped it between us.
February in Ontario. No wonder it was so cold.
"Sorry, sorry, please, take a seat. We'll explain." Gretchen gestured at something soft and white in the corner.
"We don't know." Dell pulled a blade out of a sheath beneath his robe. It looked like the cuticle manipulating part of a human nail clipper, but fashioned into a sabre, and shone in the candlelight. "But sicknesses are often caused by corporeal beings. We might have to kill something." He pulled a stone from his pocket and sharpened his blade.
"Is there a weapon for me?" I looked hopefully at the gear bag.
Gretchen gave me a crooked smile and, with a flourish, drew a gleaming carpenter's nail from the bag. She held the pointy end with one paw and rested the other end on her other forearm, presenting it to me in a courtly manner.
"It's beautiful!" I'd never seen a nail that wasn't rusted and covered in dirt.
"There was a spill at Home Hardware. Luckily, the council was on it before it got cleaned up. We got many great nails that day…" She looked wistfully into the distance for a moment, then snapped out of it and handed be a belt from the bag. I turned it over in my hands, seeing a small hole to hold my nail. Now I had my cloak, belt, nail, and a red bead around my neck. I stood up straighter—I felt like a real warrior!
I looked at her, waiting for more.
"How do I… invoke it?" I turned the fly around in my paws as if it might have an "on" switch.
I did, and the fly quivered in my hands. I yelped.
"Don't invoke it now, though. It's a one-use kind of thing. And so is this!" She pulled an acorn out of the bag with her chapped paws. "I've got an acorn trap." I recalled the shuddering acorns we passed in the hallways. They must have trapped spirits.
And with the combined lung power of three mice, we huffed, and we puffed, and we blew the candle out.

By Stacy D. VanDeveer, January 1, 1999
U.S. foreign policy and national security policies have significant domestic and international environmental impacts, and the increasingly precarious state of the global environment presents important new challenges to U.S. national interests.
Intellectual Property Rights and the Privatization of Life
By Kristin Dawkins, January 1, 1999
The U.S. government has made the rigorous enforcement of intellectual property rights (IPR) a top priority of its foreign policy, using international trade negotiations as the means of continually ratcheting up the terms.
By Stephen Zunes, December 1, 1998
On Africa's Atlantic coast, at the western extremity of the Arab world, lies Western Sahara, site of Africa's longest post-colonial conflict.

About Last Night: Rosie P went out last night and saw It's Only a Play starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick. She loved it! She said it was very funny and added that Matthew and Nathan will be on The View on Friday (10/17)! One of the highlights of her evening was the great feedback she's been getting about The View! She heard a lot of compliments on her wardrobe and how she's even influencing Nicolle's style! Her friends told her Nicolle is "looking very sexy these days!" Rosie O and her wife Michelle went out last night on a "much needed" date. They saw Carol Burnett and Brian Dennehy in Love Letters. Click here to see pics! And on November 2nd, Rosie O will interview Carol Burnett at 92Y. When the event organizers asked her if she wanted notes about Carol, Rosie's response was, "No. I know everything about her." Rosie O is a huge fan of the comedy legend. Can't make it to the event? You can watch it LIVE here! And last night Whoopi went to see Sherri Shepherd in Cinderella. Sherri didn't know Whoopi was coming and Sherri burst into tears when she saw her. Sherri sent her love to everyone back at The View. Whoopi had a great time at the play and told everyone watching to take their kids to see it if they can. Rosie O agreed. She saw Cinderella when her pal Fran Drescher was starring in it and said her kids loved the show too.
Putting Ebola In Perspective: Because of the recent Ebola cases in the U.S., President Obama has cancelled a fundraising trip. The panel discussed the recent case of the healthcare worker who was cleared to fly by the CDC despite telling them she had recently worked around an Ebola patient and had a mild fever. Rosie O thought maybe the massive budget cuts the CDC last year might have something to do with the errors. She reported that in 2013 the CDC cut 45,000 jobs. Nicolle pointed out that the CDC didn't deny what they told the nurse. The CDC stood by their advice which was that it was okay for her to fly because her fever didn't fit the protocol because it was only 100.4 degrees. Rosie O hopes that people will not let the hysteria begin to rule their lives. She said one person died from Ebola in the U.S. One person. Rosie P still thinks the hysteria is partly due to the fact that we have a lack of leadership at the top because the Senate and the Congress didn't confirm the Surgeon General Obama appointed. The entire panel loved Fox News' Shepard Smith's comments about Ebola. Basically he advised the audience to not buy into the hysteria. Rosie O exclaimed, "God bless him!" Whoopi said the fact that our leaders don't know the proper protocol is what's most concerning to her. Nicolle feared politics will come into play now with politicians battling over whether or not we start denying incoming flights from the countries most affected by the virus. Rosie O said sometimes we have to choose facts over fear. She said in the last week 703 Americans died because of guns and 602 Americans died from unintentional falls. She said ONE American died from Ebola. Whoopi hopes moving forward when people are given a directive on what to do and not do after being with Ebola patients hopes they decide to follow it.
Goodbye To A Friend: Cuban-American actress Elizabeth Pena has died at 55. The actress has starred in many movies and television shows including Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Jacob's Ladder and most recently, playing Sophia Vergara's mother on the hit show Modern Family. Rosie P loved the actress very much and they showed a picture of the two of them together. All of the ladies on the panel expressed their condolences to the family of Ms. Pena.
#SpiritDay: The ladies of The View were all wearing purple in honor of Glaad's Spirit Day. Whoopi invited viewers to do the same and share their images on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #SpiritDay and/or #ChooseKindness. And if you'd like to learn more about #SpiritDay she invited viewers to visit Disney's Be Inspired website which is a movement to prevent bullying. Rosie O mentioned how Laverne Cox will be lighting the Empire State Building purple for the first time ever in honor of the day!
Fangate: At a Gubernatorial debate last night, Governor Charlie Crist asked for a fan to be placed at the bottom of his podium and for 7 minutes Governor Rick Scott refused to join the debate! Nicolle, who has been to a few political debates in her lifetime, said every aspect of every debate is carefully negotiated by each party. From the temperature of the room, to what the candidates will wear, the campaign parties negotiate each aspect ahead of time. Nicolle thought Rick's move to delay the debate made him look bad and said he should've gone right out when the debate started. Rosie O said Scott's move made him look like an "asshole!" Rosie P thought Rick missed a great opportunity for a funny moment. And Whoopi called him "just another politician with his head in his butt."
Postponing Motherhood: Apple and Facebook have offered to pay for female employees to freeze their eggs if they would like to hold off on motherhood in order to concentrate on their careers. Critics of this move are saying these companies are coming out with this offering in order to keep their female employees from having children. Nicolle did not agree. She thinks it's great and an added benefit. She thinks it gives the women reproductive freedom. Rosie P referred to the move as "modern day family planning." She said she waited to have a baby until the time was right in her career and now it's too late for her and that saddens her. She told a story of a friend of hers that one night called her hysterically crying at 3:00am because she had just come to the realization that it was too late to have a baby. Rosie O said her wife Michelle also has regrets about waiting until it was too late to have a baby. Whoopi said she has exactly two eggs left and she is more than happy to give them to Rosie P if she would like them. Awwwwwww.
NPH Hosting the Oscars: The ladies discussed the latest news that Neil Patrick Harris will be hosting the Oscars! All the ladies on the panel were very excited for NPH. They then recalled all the times Whoopi hosted the Oscars. Here's a fun fact: Did you know Whoopi was the host of the Oscars the year Rosie P was nominated? True story!
HBO Streaming Service: The ladies of The View discussed the recent news that HBO is going to start offering a streaming service without having to have a monthly HBO subscription through your cable company. Rosie P called the move a "game changer," especially for sports. She wondered how this move was going to affect things like pay-per-view sporting events. Rosie O was extremely happy about the move because it says it will allow more people to enjoy the fantastic documentaries HBO has available. She mentioned her friend Sheila Nevins, who is the President of HBO Documentary Films, whom she called a "genius and a god." Rosie thinks allowing more people to view these documentaries will be a "gift to humanity and the world." Nicolle sees HBO making a smart move for the future. Whoopi is excited that more people will be able to have access to great television without having to pay the crazy fees. All the ladies agreed, it was a brilliant business move.
Family Feud: In a not so smart move, a woman made a hilarious guess on a recent episode of Family Feud. When the woman was asked, "When we asked 100 American women if you could change one part of your husband's body, what would it be?" She answered, "His penis!" Only "penis" wasn't one of the answers! Rosie O said "Apparently she was the only one surveyed who thought her husband had a bad weiner."
Alan Cumming: Alan Cumming joined Rosie P and Rosie O for a discussion about his role on The Good Wife, his role in the Broadway show Cabaret and a touching discussion about his new book Not My Father's Son: A Memoir. Alan said his memoir was partially inspired by his appearance on the show Who Do You Think You Are. Two nights before he started filming the show, his father, who he hadn't seen in 16 years because he was very abusive, told his brother to tell him he wasn't his son. He said the book chronicles that summer as well as the other revelations he made about his life growing up with an abusive parent. "The Rosie's" thanked Alan for his honesty in the book and promised to come see him again soon in Cabaret on Broadway. The Good Wife airs on CBS on Sundays at 9/8c.
The Rosie's and Alan Cumming
Tessa Thompson: Tessa Thompson joined Nicolle and Whoopi to discuss her new movie Dear White People about racial hypocrisy in college. They discussed how the film was developed from a Twitter feed and how they used fundraising via the Internet in order to get the movie made. Tessa also played Whoopi's daughter in the movie For Colored Girls. Dear White People premieres in theaters tomorrow. Watch the trailer here.
Rosie & Tessa Thompson
Audience Gift: Everyone in the audience received a copy of Not My Father's Son by Alan Cumming.
Rosie O: "Choose facts over fear."
Rosie P: "I waited and waited and waited to have a child until it was too late. It saddens me."
Whoopi: "Another politician with his head up his butt."
Nicolle: "We live in a borderless world when it comes to disease."
Alan Cumming: [about his abusive father] "The great thing about the book for me is realizing that he is not to be understood. He was not for me to understand, I just happened to be unfortunate enough to be a part of it."
Tessa Thompson: [about racism and her new movie Dear White People] "We're in a time when we really need to discuss these things and have these cross-cultural conversations."
And that's what you missed!


Peace, forgiveness and reconciliation are some of the key words underlying the message of this Sunday. The Second Sunday of Easter is also known as Divine Mercy Sunday. Indeed the Gospel reading leads us to discover the meaning of God's mercy. After Jesus rose from the dead, He appears to his disciples once again. On that occasion Jesus says to them, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them." (Jn 20:22) In other words, Jesus gives them the Holy Spirit who would accompany them in their mission of bringing about peace, forgiveness and reconciliation. Pope John Paul II was very instrumental in promoting devotion to Divine Mercy on the occasion of the canonization of St. Faustina, on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 30 2000.

When it comes to breakfast omelets are a very popular dish around the world. With so many ingredients that can be added inside an omelet there are endless varieties of omelets that can be prepared. One such ingredient is leek.
If you love leek you will enjoy this delicious leek omelet recipe. Very few ingredients and a short amount of time is all that's required to prepare this breakfast dish.
Once you prepare this leek omelet you can enjoy it by itself or you can eat it with toasted bread and slices of your favorite salami. You can even add a pickle, a tomato, or some radishes on the side. No matter how you eat your omelet you are going to love it either way. So far, everyone that tried it loved it.
Cut leek in half separating the green part from the white. Then cut the white part of the leek vertically. Separate each stalk (green and white) and cut into slices. Then place the leek into a colander (or a bowl) and thoroughly wash under running water. Make sure no dirt or sand is left on the leek.
Put a skillet on medium heat and add canola oil (or other cooking oil). Once the skillet is heated add the sliced leek and fry for about eight minutes.
While the leek is cooking crack two eggs into a bowl, add salt if desired, and beat. When the leek is done cooking pour the beaten egg onto the skillet. Cook for a few minutes and then flip the contents on the other side. You can also just turn everything with a spatula. Once about four minutes passes or you see that the omelet is done turn off the heat and remove the omelet onto a plate.
Garnish the omelet with dried basil and some dried cranberries. You can now enjoy your leek omelet.
What I love to do is mash an avocado in a bowl and then crack an egg or two onto the avocado and beat everything well and then pour it onto the fried leek and cook. Sometimes I even add dried cranberries to the egg/avocado mixture as well before cooking instead of just garnishing with the dried cranberries when the omelet is done. Doing so brings out more flavor in the omelet.
Besides leek what are some of your favorite ingredients to put inside an omelet? Please share them in the comments below.
Avocados are exotic fruits that have many health benefits and are widely used in salads, sandwiches, and other recipes.
Thanks Deborah. Hope you give this a try.

BOTTOM LINE: This taut, riveting, and well-acted drama brings two psychologically fragile people together for a night of romance and danger.
31 years later, it's still all of these things. It's also a powerful—and timeless—look at the ways humans connect, despite differences, pathological neediness, or guilt over missteps and mistakes in judgment.
The action begins in an unnamed bar as two patrons, Roberta (played with provocative despair by Susan Mitchell) and Danny (played with gruff fury by John Talerico), eyeball each other from their respective tables. It doesn't take long for the flirting to begin. Nonetheless, from their first verbal exchange, it's clear that both are troubled. Roberta's hand shakes as she repeatedly taps the table, a nervous habit that she seemingly can't control. Although she's well dressed, something about her seems off, unstable. Danny, meanwhile, is wearing blood splattered clothes; his face is filthy, and his oozing hand is wrapped in gauze.
Danny's volatility is immediately evident. He rants, he rails, and he threatens foes both real and imagined. His macho demeanor and thick Bronx accent—occasionally making his rapid-fire speech unintelligible—rival that of any theatrical or literary he-man. He's brash, impulsive, and always ready to fight. For her part, Roberta is both a sultry temptress and a sassy little girl, but her exterior begins to crack when, for no apparent reason, she chooses to tell Danny about the guilt and shame she feels over a long-ago act of sexual impropriety. As she confesses, Danny softens, and once the pair retire to Roberta's bedroom, a night of love-hate passion unfolds.
It's gripping and powerful, and the actors have the chemistry needed to make this improbable dance wholly believable. There's tenderness and rage, heat and pathos on display. What's more, the play is filled with themes that will be familiar to Shanley aficionados.
In fact, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea—a reference to Danny's fantasy of building a boat and sailing off into the sunset—showcases the playwright's belief in the healing power of love, the lasting impact of sexual misdeeds, and the role of anger in keeping people apart. Throughout, working-class characters teeter on the edge of cliché but don't succumb to oversimplification.
Thanks to Mark Marcante's simple set design—there are two distinct scenes in this one-act production, the first in a no frills barroom and the second in Roberta's barely-decorated boudoir—this character-driven drama underscores the power of humans to comfort one another, however clumsily. And while there's plenty of grit in this compelling drama, there's also tenderness and beauty.
All told, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea is a well-performed look at lust, love, and human possibility. It's a top-notch revival.


Audio loads a sound, allocates memory and keeps it allocated until you explicitly dispose of it. Most people will load the sound once and play the sound over and over.
I suspect your continuous loading of the sounds might be creating your issue.
Try just loading them once and see if that helps.
Hello again! we are experimenting an increase of 10 times crash rate in the last month. We released a new version using Corona SDK 2018.3452 (previously we are using 2018.3350). We tried to downgrade the corona sdk version with no luck at all.
Is it related to my code? Is anything that can i do to resolve it?
Did you change any of the audio files? Did you change anything related to audio? Frequency? It looks like an audio crash to me, but I am not an expert.
There is also this forum post where some people experienced similar crashes. You have to weed through the post because some of the errors are not the same.
Hello, @agramonte in the latest releases we changed the way of how use the channels for sounds. When we need to play a sound we call this function, without ch parameter, so we are always using free channels and the sounds should play at the same time.
I don't know the audio.x library that well. You'll have to wait until somebody chimes in other than me. It looks fine to me.

Manhattan Real Estate in history: Tom Cruise circa 1981
By Mitchell J Hall
Real Estate Agent with Compass
Tom Cruise has been on the news and in the papers these past few days for being fired by Paramount pictures for jumping on Oprah's couch and talking about Scientology. Since this is a real estate blog I won't comment on that. However I will comment about the building that both Tom and I Lived in circa 1981.
My first Manhattan apartment was a studio with a sleeping loft complete with brick wall and huge windows. It was on the parlor floor of a limestone mansion built in the early 1900's. In the photo it's the apartment with the 2 large rounded windows to the right of the front door. The blinds I bought are still in the windows.
When I moved in we didn't have a live-in super. The landlord and his wife lived in New Jersey but owned this building as a hobby/investment. An unknown struggling actor in acting school lived upstairs in a 300 square foot studio. The rent at the time for his apartment was $300. He worked out a deal with the landlord to help pay his rent. He took the garbage out to the street and vacumed the halls. The next year he got his big break in the movie Taps and the rest is history.
After Tom moved out the landlord made renovations. Tom had a rent stabalized apartment. Mine was also. I paid $700 month. When a rent stabalized tenant vacates if the landlord makes renovations they can then raise rent to market rate.
He connected Tom's third floor studio with the second floor 1 Bedroom adding a sleeping loft/storage and making the rest of the third floor a floor thru. Years later the landlord would tell me "Just got another Christmas card from Mrs Cruise Tom's mother thanking me for helping him with the rent.
The landlord then built a triplex penthouse and wouldn't you know it another actor moved in only now the penthouse apartment with new marble bath was getting a market rent. This time it was Robert Downey Jr. He was starring on Saturday Night Live at the time. Then his girlfriend at the time, Sarah Jessica Parker moved in with him. About a year later they broke up and I remember helping Sarah load stuff into her mother's car one night. All I can say is they were all really nice, very polite cordial people.
The building had a real history. It was originally built as the townhouse for The Gimbel familiy from the famous department store. In the 1940's it was supposedly a brothel where gambling took place. As you can see in the photo there are two entrances. The apartment below mine had a separate entrance with an iron gate. That apartment has a swiming pool in the middle of the living room. It must have been Mr. Gimbel's gym. The building later became a boarding school and finally apartments.
It has 5 floors and 10 apartments. A walk up with mahogany stairs. A chiropracter now rents the pool apartment and mine is rented as a live/work professional office. I will always think of 50 West 86th Street as the good luck building.

Very, very cool. Gotta love the big city with all the history and culture. My home used to house a family of 5... that's it... nothing glamorus! Maybe someday they'll tell stories of a famous real estate blogger who lived here. :)

Sarah Jessica Parker? This is too much! What a cool place to live.
Great story but you forgot to add that saxophonist King Curtis lived there in 1971 and he was stabbed to death in s skirmish with two junkies in the front of the foyer whom he climbed over while bringing in an air conditioning unit for his apartment. The neighborhood must have been rougher then!
I lived in the first floor solarium apartment down the hall to the left of your apartment in 1967/68. At that time I don't think there were any 'to be famous' actors living there, but the person who lived in your apartment was a seamstress and at one point her apartment was looted. We had all kinds of serious locks on our door so no one was able to break in. The neighborhood seemed safe at that time, but I know it went down hill after we left.
Our apartment had floor to high ceiling windows overlooking what once must have been a lovely garden, but when we were there it was untended with a little trash thrown in. Nonetheless the large windows gave us marvelous sunlight and an airy feeling. Good memories all!

Anne, I didn't know about King Curtis thanks for filling me in on the building's history.
Susie, Thank you for visiting my blog and commenting. I always wondered who lived in apartment A1 before me. I really liked the solarium apartment. Around the time I moved in, the landlord, Lee Allen connected the solarium apartment and the pool apartment with a staircase. He tried to rent the combined apartment as a duplex. He was unsuccessful so rented them as two separate apartments.
The landlord when I lived there really cared about the building. He was always fixing and renovating. I remember when I put a big serious bolt lock on my door, he was upset that I ruined the aesthetic value of the beautiful mahogany door.
From what I hear the neighborhood deteriorated in the 70's. NYC went bankrupt. But the neighborhood made a comeback in the 80's. Today the gardens between W 86th and W 85th streets are lovely again and the townhouses have been restored to their original detailed beauty.
Thanks for sharing your good memories.
Therese Flaherty
Would love to talk with you sometime - I've owned the building now for ten years and have done many upgrades - met Sara Jessica Parker and talked about when she and robert Downey jr live here
How was Cruise like when u met him, first heard of him?
As nice as could be. I met him years later at a party in Hollywod when he was a big star and again was just as nice to me as when he was an unknown actor.
How Can I Help You ?

Tuesday the 21st in Sacramento the State Water Resources Control Board voted 5-to-0 to ban septic tanks, effectively changing the way Malibu handles the effluent of the affluent. This unanimous vote upholds the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board proposed prohibition on new septics and a phase-out of current septics in the Malibu Civic Center area while the City of Malibu pursues a permanent solution.
"…while the City of Malibu pursues a permanent solution." Huh? You mean, we've banned the only sewage treatment we've got, before we've made a decision on a shared sewage treatment solution?
Isn't that a donkey before the cart scenario? Shouldn't the solution to Malibu's septic situation be analyzed and realized before banning the current septic situation?
Here is what is proposed: In 4 years, all commercial establishments in the civic center area of the City of Malibu must no longer use their current septic system. In 9 years, all residences must then comply.
With this approach, there is nothing to step onto. IF, in 4 years, a sewage treatment plant is not built, then what?
This sewage treatment problem of Malibu goes back at least 20 years. 20 years ago was when the City of Malibu incorporated. The County of Los Angeles had earlier proposed a sewage treatment facility to be built and enough Malibu residents gathered to overthrow the L.A. County government and allow the City of Malibu to rule its own people. Malibuans (or perhaps, for this report, "MaliBANS"), feared L.A.CO.'s sewage treatment facility would inspire greater development along its precious 26 miles, particularly though, in the area around its Civic Center. To limit growth, Malibu incorporated and has been fighting a wastewater treatment facilty for 20 years.
To gain the perspective of history on this subject, read Penelope Grenoble O'Malley's Malibu Diary, Notes from an Urban Refugee. Penelope's work provides an eyewitness account of the politics within the City of Malibu. By reporting Malibu's City Council meetings, Penelope's cast includes current Malibu residents, planners and developers (some of whom are residents, some are not), consultants hired by Malibu's City Council, Chumash descendants, the writers of magazine articles, tourists, and the County of Los Angeles. Wildlife fills a role in the community too, although more as a victim to speeding automobiles on Pacific Coast Highway, than as a neighbor who needs space set aside for habitat. Natural forces: rains, floods, and fires terrify residents, CalTrans, and the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
Archeological evidence and historical accounts place Malibu as the southernmost perimeter for the Chumash, who found fresh water and food at the mouth of Malibu Canyon, where, Malibu's premiere anglo-resident Frederick Hastings Rindge later established his ranch headquarters. It is in this area that the ban is proposed to eliminate septic systems (in 4 years for commercial establishments, 9 years for residences). "These settlements provide a loose geographical rationale for modern Chumash clans to monitor construction sites and have the authority to call for job shutdowns if they believe artifacts or remains at the site might be lost or damaged." But what about clean water for Malibu Creek in which run another resident, the Steelhead?
"One enters this hallowed ground along narrow, heaving Pacific Coast Highway, which hugs the ocean so tightly there's barely enough room for four lanes of traffic." Malibu Diary establishes that the main reason any resident chose Malibu was to seek "peace and tranquility and to throw off city fetters." Malibu's anglo heritage begins with Frederick Hastings Rindge, a Bostonian wool merchant, who purchased Rancho Topanga Malibu Sequit from Matthew Keller in the 1890s, as a place in which to "regain his health." Mr. Rindge died in 1905, just as the automobile craze infiltrated the aspirations of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to force open the Rindge ranch gates, allowing for a public Coast Road thoroughfare. Mr. Rindge's widow, May, did not fail to challenge public access to their private ranch, in a 20-year battle against the all-male Board, but as we know, Pacific Coast Highway was created, opened, and paved.
Between the Chumash being forced off the land to enter into Spanish mission life, and the Rindge saga against the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisor's relentless crusade for a public Coast Road to connect Los Angeles with Ventura, José Bartolomé Tapia originally established, by a Spanish land grant, the Rancho Topanga Malibu Sequit. Tapia enjoyed his 13,330 acres for 20 years. Tapia's widow had to sell the rancho for 400 pesos once the Americans rushed to find gold in California and denied proof of claim to any Spanish land grants. Tapia may be the only owner to have ever enjoyed Malibu to its fullest.
Each of us has his own earthly paradise, a place and time on earth where, if we had our choice, we would want to live for the rest of our life. Lawrence Clark Powell.
Penelope's Diary reads like a Joan Didion reportage on California's water system or freeway traffic management, but may also be described as a post-Muir piece, of how one California community developed after settlement, and how that populace determines land use. Malibu Diary allows us to connect-the-dots from September 21, 2010 back to 1991, when the City of Malibu incorporated, in the community's attempt to challenge Los Angeles County's determination that a wastewater treatment plan was necessary for Malibu.
Okay. I get it. Septic is a huge environmental misfit to Malibu Creek. But, really? Our decision is to ban septic within 4 years, and then what? If the wastewater treatment facility has not been decided upon in the next 4 years, AND CONSTRUCTED, AND OPERATIONAL. then what? In 20 years this decision was never made, so how can we decide and build within the next 4?

Biden breaks all-time television spending record
By Reid Wilson - 10/23/20 02:37 PM EDT
Former Vice President Joe Biden Joe BidenFear of insider attack prompts additional FBI screening of National Guard troops: AP Iran convicts American businessman on spying charge: report DC, state capitals see few issues, heavy security amid protest worries MORE's campaign has spent more money on television and digital advertising than any other presidential candidate in American history, with more than a week left to go before Election Day.
Biden's campaign has spent more than $582 million on television advertising since launching his campaign last year, according to data from the nonpartisan firm Advertising Analytics. In just the last week, Biden's team spent $45 million on air.
The figure surpasses former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg Michael BloombergBiden selects Gina Raimondo for Commerce chief: reports 7 surprise moments from a tumultuous year in politics NFL, politics dominate 2020 ratings MORE, who spent heavily during the Democratic presidential primary in a bid to capture Super Tuesday votes.
And it easily surpasses President Trump Donald TrumpIran convicts American businessman on spying charge: report DC, state capitals see few issues, heavy security amid protest worries Pardon-seekers have paid Trump allies tens of thousands to lobby president: NYT MORE, whose campaign has spent $342 million in the last two years, according to the firm.
Biden's campaign has another $57 million in television time reserved over the final 10-day sprint to November. Pro-Biden groups will spend tens of millions more, while Trump's campaign and pro-Trump outside groups have more than $50 million in advertising booked.
The two sides dropped $160 million on television and digital ads in just the past seven days. Trump spent slightly more than Biden on Facebook and Google advertising, the data shows — $14 million versus about $12.7 million.
Biden, Trump and their allies have run more than 100,000 advertisements per week since the beginning of October, according to counts maintained by the Wesleyan Media Project. The two sides have aired the most ads in the Phoenix, Charlotte, N.C., and Des Moines, Iowa, media markets, in the heart of three swing states that Trump won in 2016.
The record-breaking spending comes as observers expect the 2020 campaign to near $11 billion in total expenditures. The Center for Responsive Politics found federal candidates for president, the Senate and the House had spent $7.2 billion through the end of September, en route to a projected total of $10.8 billion — about 50 percent higher than was spent in 2016.

The Modular Integrated Communications Helmet (MICH) is a U.S. combat helmet and one of several used by the U.S. military. It was developed by the United States Army Soldier Systems Center to be the next generation of protective combat helmets for use by the U.S. Army.

History
The MICH was originally part of a series of combat helmets designed for the U.S. Army Special Operations Command as a replacement for the PASGT helmet and the various non-ballistic skateboard, bicycle, and whitewater "bump" helmets solely within those units. Development was done from 1997 before it was released in January 2001 by the United States Army Soldier Systems Center.

The main reason for the development of the MICH was due to the protective but heavy PASGT being supplanted by these bump helmets by special forces operators due to them being lighter, more comfortable, closer-fitting, and made of plastic making them easier to mount accessories onto, especially night vision devices and communications headsets. The lighter weight and non-ballistic nature of these helmets allowed the fitting of additional accessories without putting undue strain on the neck or requiring the drilling of holes through Kevlar to affix night vision mounting brackets, compromising the Kevlar helmet's  protective ability if not done precisely. Inevitably, operators suffered injury and deaths due to taking their wholly unsuited plastic helmets into the unforgiving environment of close-quarters warfare, especially the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu where at least one Delta Force operator (either SFC Shughart or MSGT Gordon) was supposedly killed by a shot to the head. While no ballistic helmet of the time could protect from small arms fire in close-quarters combat, it inspired the U.S. Army to create a new helmet to better protect special operations forces in direct action missions while providing the weight and modularity they desired that caused them to cease using the PASGT in the first place.

An initial stop-gap solution was provided in the RBR S4 helmet (introduced in 1994), which is difficult to find information on but appears to be derived from the French SPECTRA helmet; it particularly resembles the Canadian CG634, which is a derivative. Meanwhile, development was under way of a purpose-built helmet under the SPEAR program, which eventually produced the MICH in the late 1990s and offered in three cuts to allow operator choice in balancing protection and weight to suit their preferences and mission profile. While it did not entirely replace the plastic bump helmets, it replaced them almost completely in direct action missions where operators are most likely to suffer head injury from fragments, concussive force, or bullets. Initially, it was used almost exclusively by SOCOM and some units with close ties to them; however, the U.S. Army later determined that the improvements presented by the lighter, higher-cut, and brim-less MICH over the PASGT helmet warranted organization-wide distribution, and began to release examples to the Army at large as a more cost-effective solution to reequipping the entire Army.

To date, the MICH and its derivatives, the Advanced Combat Helmet and Enhanced Combat Helmet have fully replaced the PASGT in active U.S. Army service and is in use with all branches of the U.S. military in at least some capacity.

The U.S. Marine Corps evaluated the MICH during its own search for a PASGT replacement, but chose to adopt a helmet that retains the profile of the PASGT but is lighter, known as the Lightweight Helmet, which incorporates improvements in the MICH such as the liner and retention system.

Design

The MICH ranges in weight from about 3 lb (1.36 kg) (size medium) to just over 3.6 lb (1.63 kg) (extra large). It uses a new, more advanced type of Kevlar and provides increased protection against handgun rounds.

A pad system and four-point retention system, similar to the cushions and straps found on the aforementioned skate, bicycle, and water helmets, replaces the nylon cord suspension system, sweatband and chinstrap found on the PASGT helmet. The change provides greater impact protection and comfort for the wearer. It can be fitted with a mounting bracket for a night vision device on the front, such as the AN/PVS-14 or AN/PVS-15, similar to that on the PASGT helmet. It can also be fitted with a pair of straps on the rear to keep protective eyewear in place, as well as cloth helmet covers in varying camouflage patterns including M81 Woodland, three-color desert, USMC MARPAT, U.S. Army UCP, Crye MultiCam, and solid black for use with SWAT teams, among numerous other patterns available commercially. As with its PASGT predecessor, the MICH is often worn with a band around it which features a pair of "cat eyes"—patches, some purely reflective and some also slightly luminous, on the back intended to prevent friendly fire incidents.

The MICH is also slightly smaller than the PASGT, providing 8% less coverage; this is primarily in the elimination of the brow and raising of the sides to the point that the lower brim behind the temple is "flat", compared to the "curved" profile of the PASGT. This accounts for some of the reduced weight and allows for both greater situational awareness and less obstruction of the wearer's vision, particularly when combined with Interceptor Body Armor.

Previously, soldiers had complained that the high collar of the Interceptor combined with the two-point chinstrap pushed the back of the PASGT helmet forward, in turn moving the helmet brim over their eyes when they attempted to fire from a prone position, this is rectified in the MICH with its reduced profile and four-point chinstrap.

Variants

MICH TC-2000
The baseline "full cut" helmet, which has a four-point chin strap and seven pads worn inside.

MICH TC-2001
The second cut known as "high cut", which removes all ear protection allowing for more headset options at the cost of all side protection.

MICH TC-2002

The third cut known "gunfighter cut", which raises the area around the ears by about 1/2", allowing for a wider range of headsets to be used and roughly meeting the profile of the skateboard and whitewater helmets previously used by special forces.

Advanced Combat Helmet

The Advanced Combat Helmet is derived from the MICH in terms of design, but offers superior protection.

Enhanced Combat Helmet

The Enhanced Combat Helmet is identical in shape to the Advanced Combat Helmet but thicker and made with lighter materials. It is set to replace LWH in use by the United States Marine Corps and the ACH and MICH 2000 helmets of the U.S Army, Air Force, and Navy.
