The Use of Epsilon Aminocaproic Acid in a Case of Massive Hemorrhage from Cytomegalovirus Colitis in a Patient with Multiple Myeloma Treated with Bortezomib
February 2014 • Volume XXXVIII, Issue 2
Steven D. Deas, Marc D. Hopkins, Louis M. Varner
Epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) blocks fibrinolysis by binding competitively to plasminogen and preventing binding to fibrin. It has been primarily used following thoracic surgery as an adjunctive therapy to help treat persistent postoperative bleeding.1 We report a patient with lower gastrointestinal bleeding from cytomegalovirus (CMV) colitis who was treated successfully with EACA.
A 56-year-old African American man presented to our medical center with a single episode of hematochezia associated with diffuse, cramping abdominal pain. The patient, who had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma several months before, had received two rounds of bortezomib and dexamethasone induction chemotherapy, and was hemodialysis dependent because of myeloma cast nephropathy. In addition to chemotherapy, he had received a single dose of radiation therapy to a lumbar vertebral lesion.
The patient's medical history was otherwise significant for diabetes mellitus, hypertension and hypothyroidism. He was on insulin and antihypertensive medications as well as acyclovir and fluconazole for infectious prophylaxis while on chemotherapy. He reported no drug allergies. Though he had a history of heavy alcohol use over a period of decades, he quit drinking after he was diagnosed with myeloma. He denied tobacco or illicit drug use.
On presentation, he was tachycardic but normotensive and his physical exam was remarkable only for the presence of bright red blood in the rectal vault. He was noted to have a hemoglobin level of 7.5g/ dL (from a baseline of 10g/dL). His leukocyte count was 10,700 with a neutrophilic predominance and his platelet count was 241,000. He had a normal coagulation profile, blood urea nitrogen and transaminase levels. His alkaline phosphatase was mildly elevated, but stable over time.
After admission to the medical ward, he had several more episodes of hematochezia, which required transfusion of two units of packed red blood cells. Colonoscopy on the following day revealed discontinuous areas of non-bleeding ulcerated mucosa at the splenic flexure, the transverse colon and the ascending colon. The ulcers appeared superficial and irregular with normal intervening mucosa.
The differential diagnosis for hematochezia with ulcerated mucosa included infectious and ischemic colitis as well as inflammatory bowel disease. He had no history of previous bleeding or abdominal pain to suggest undiagnosed inflammatory bowel disease, and though he was on hemodialysis, had no significant hypotension to suggest ischemic colitis. He had received a single treatment of radiation therapy to a lumbar spine lesion in recent weeks, but the pattern of his disease was not consistent with radiation-induced injury to the gastrointestinal tract. Clostridium difficile toxin evaluation was negative. Therefore, due to the endoscopic appearance of the lesions, as well as his immunocompromised state, viral etiology was suspected.
Multiple biopsies were obtained and revealed marked acute and chronic inflammation with granulation tissue. Within the granulation tissue were a number of cells with atypical cytologic features including nuclear pleomorphism, irregular nuclear contours and nuclear hyperchromasia. Rare cells showed putative intranuclear inclusions. Though immunohistochemical studies for cytomegalovirus failed to highlight biopsied tissue, the lesions were highly suspicious for cytomegalovirus 50 (CMV) colitis and the patient was found to be CMV IgG positive. He was treated empirically with intravenous gancyclovir. CMV colitis often develops as a result of reactivation during immune suppression, but interestingly has never before been reported as an adverse effect of bortezomib therapy.
There was no active bleeding at the time of colonoscopy, however the patient developed repeated episodes of hematochezia the following day and ultimately required transfer to the intensive care unit and multiple transfusions of blood and blood products. Transfusion requirement eventually came to a total of fifteen units of packed red blood cells as well as multiple units of fresh frozen plasma and platelets. The surgical consultant felt that total colectomy carried a high risk in this patient with multiple co-morbid conditions and recommended supportive care and continued treatment with gancyclovir, while reserving colectomy as a last therapeutic option.
In an effort to limit blood product transfusions, he was treated with epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) which was dosed intravenously at 4 grams every twelve hours. On days of dialysis, it was dosed following the hemodialysis session. Following the initiation of EACA therapy, there were no further episodes of hematochezia for the remainder of his hospital course. EACA was discontinued and the patient was monitored for three days prior to discharge.
On the night after discharge, he experienced recurrent rectal bleeding and was readmitted. EACA was restarted and hematochezia improved. Repeat colonoscopy showed non-bleeding ulcerated mucosa throughout the entire colon which was improved from prior endoscopy as well as an actively bleeding ulceration in the proximal ascending colon with a bleeding vessel which was endoscopically treated with an injection of epinephrine and hemostatic clipping. Bleeding did not recur and he was discharged home.
Epsilon aminocaproic acid binds competitively to plasminogen, blocking the binding of plasminogen to fibrin and subsequent conversion to plasmin, effectively inhibiting fibrinolysis. Adverse effects reported with EACA use include thrombosis, myalgia and myopathy and intrarenal obstruction from ureteral clots or glomerular capillary thrombosis. It is contraindicated for use in patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation or an active intravascular thrombosis.
In a recent Cochrane review of 16 trials in a total of 1035 surgical patients, it has been shown to reduce the need for allogeneic blood transfusions in the perioperative period, especially during cardiac surgery. In cardiac surgery, there also appeared to be a significant decrease in perioperative blood loss. While there was no significant improvement in mortality, there was no significant increase in rate of occurrence of myocardial infarction, stroke, or thromboembolism.2 EACA has also been used successfully in the treatment of hemorrhage following complicated dental extractions,3 in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage,5 recurrent epistaxis due to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia,5 and in traumatic hyphema.6
The use of oral EACA in radiation-induced hemorrhagic gastritis has been described in a single case report,8 but until now there are no reported cases describing the use of EACA in hemorrhage from a lower gastrointestinal source. In patients with diffuse hemorrhagic colitis, in which endoscopic therapy is not adequate and surgery is not a preferred option, treatment with EACA may be an additional treatment strategy to reduce the need for the transfusion of blood and blood products. Further study is needed to determine the true efficacy and safety of EACA in gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

A Bank Guarantee is a document that assures the payment to the seller in case of a default by the debtor. It can be broadly classified into two categories.
This is when the bank guarantees a payment on the instruction of its account holder to assure the payment to the seller.
In case of an indirect guarantee a second bank guarantees a counter guarantee. In the event of second bank suffering losses in claim against the guarantee, the losses are indemnified by the issuing bank.

The arithmetical hierarchy is a hierarchy of either (depending on the context) formulas or relations . The relations of a particular level of the hierarchy are exactly the relations defined by the formulas of that level, so the two uses are essentially the same.
The first level consists of formulas with only bounded quantifiers, the corresponding relations are also called the Primitive Recursive relations (this definition is equivalent to the definition from computer science). This level is called any of Δ00, Σ00 and Π00, depending on context.
The Σ10 relations are the same as the Recursively Enumerable relations.
A formula is Δn0 if it is both Σn0 and Πn0. Since each Σn0 formula is just the negation of a Πn0 formula and vice-versa, the Σn0 relations are the complements of the Πn0 relations.
The relations in Δ10=Σ10∩Π10 are the Recursive relations.
Higher levels on the hierarchy correspond to broader and broader classes of relations. A formula or relation which is Σn0 (or, equivalently, Πn0) for some integer n is called arithmetical.
The superscript 0 is often omitted when it is not necessary to distinguish from the analytic hierarchy.
Functions can be described as being in one of the levels of the hierarchy if the graph of the function is in that level.

Seventeen people killed as overnight fire sweeps through sleeping quarters for some of store's female employees.
A fire has swept through a department store in the Philippines, killing 17 people.
The blaze broke out early on Wednesday morning in Butuan on the southern island of Mindanao.
At least 21 female employees of the store were said to be asleep in the building at the time.
"21 people were asleep on the second floor when the fire struck the ground floor," Chief Inspector Mario Palarca of the provincial fire department told AFP news agency.
Eleven bodies were recovered soon after the fire was put out, said Palarca. Investigators later found six other bodies, one of his aides said.
Saleswoman Vicky Belez, one of the survivors, said she had only survived because she was in the bathroom when the fire broke out.
"I was in the bathroom. Then I saw the huge flames outside so I ran out immediately. There was a lot of smoke and the flames were already huge," the 21-year-old said as doctors treated her burned arms.
It is common in the Philippines for people in low-paid jobs to sleep at their place of work.
The store's assistant supervisor, Berlita Ballestero, said there was only one emergency door linked to the employees' living quarters.
"They must have had trouble getting out because there is only one fire exit," she told AFP.

About the Funds
Legacy Funds
In 2008, Minnesota's voters passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment (Legacy Amendment) to the Minnesota Constitution to: protect drinking water sources; to protect, enhance, and restore wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat; to preserve arts and cultural heritage; to support parks and trails; and to protect, enhance, and restore lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.
The Legacy Amendment increases the state sales tax by three-eighths of one percent beginning on July 1, 2009 and continuing until 2034. The additional sales tax revenue is distributed into four funds as follows: 33 percent to the clean water fund; 33 percent to the outdoor heritage fund; 19.75 percent to the arts and cultural heritage fund; and 14.25 percent to the parks and trails fund.
Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund
In 1988, Minnesota's voters approved a constitutional amendment establishing the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (Trust Fund). The purpose of the Trust Fund is to provide a long-term, consistent, and stable source of funding for activities that protect and enhance Minnesota's environment and natural resources for the benefit of current citizens and future generations.
The money in the Trust Fund originates from a combination of contributions and investment income. Forty percent of the net proceeds from the Minnesota State Lottery are deposited to the Trust Fund each year; this contribution is guaranteed by the Minnesota Constitution until December 31, 2024. The Trust Fund may also receive contributions from other sources such as private donations.
The Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund receives 19.75 percent of the sales tax revenue resulting from the Clean Water, Land and Legacy amendment to support arts, arts education and arts access, and to preserve Minnesota's history and cultural heritage.
Thirty-three percent of the sales tax revenue from the Legacy amendment is allocated to the Clean Water Fund. Those funds may only be spent to protect, enhance, and restore water quality in lakes, rivers, and streams and to protect groundwater from degradation. At least five percent of the clean water fund must be spent to protect drinking water sources.
The Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund was established following voter approval of a constitutional amendment in 1988. The money in the Trust Fund is generated by the Minnesota State Lottery. The Trust Fund holds assets that can be appropriated, "for the public purpose of protection, conservation, preservation, and enhancement of the state's air, water, land, fish, wildlife, and other natural resources." Between 1991 and 2010, the legislature appropriated nearly $310 million from the Trust Fund to 746 projects around the state.
Thirty-three percent of the sales tax revenue from the Clean Water, Land and Legacy amendment is allocated to the Outdoor Heritage Fund. Those funds "may be spent to restore, protect, and enhance wetlands, prairies, forest and habitat for fish, game, and wildlife."
The Parks and Trails Fund receives 14.25 percent of the sales tax revenue resulting from the Clean Water, Land and Legacy amendment. Those funds may only be spent to support parks and trails of regional or statewide significance.

Albert Pujols Becomes Fourth Player to Reach 3,000 Hits and 600 Home Runs
Posted by David Johnson on May 5th, 2018
Albert Pujols at one time was an unknown draft pick taken in the 13th round while playing at Maple Woods Community College. From playing college ball in Kansas City, Missouri to becoming the 32nd player to reach 3,000 hits and only the fourth in that elite group to also have 600 or more home runs Pujols has come a long way.
On Friday night, Pujols lined out in his first trip to the plate but in his second at-bat Pujols hit a single to right field at Safeco Field in Seattle to reach the 3,000-hit club against Mariners pitcher Mike Leake.
Get alerts:
Pujols singled again during the ninth inning to pass Roberto Clemente and move into 31st place on the all-time career hit list with No. 3001. The Angels won 5-0 and Pujols went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs.
With hit number 3,000, Pujols joined a group of just three players – Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Alex Rodriguez – in the 3,000-hit/600-home run club. That further solidifies his spot in baseball as one of the best hitters to play the game.
Pujols joins Adrian Beltre as the only two players born in the Dominican Republic to reach the 3,000-hit plateau.
Leake said that he enjoyed the battle against Pujols in the at-bat in which the Angels' slugger reached the milestone and has enjoyed watching Pujols play over the years.
The hits have not come as frequently of late as before, but the first 10 seasons playing with the St. Louis Cardinals Pujols enjoyed one of the best ever decades for a Major League Baseball hitter. He averaged .331, 41 homers, 123 RBIs and 190 hits per season. He was awarded three NL MVP's and finished second four other years.
After being drafted, Pujols played just one season of minor baseball and become a full time member of the Cardinals in the 2001 season. He started on Opening Day in left field and his first hit was off Colorado Rockies pitcher Mike Hampton.
In his fourth game, he hit home run number one off Arizona's Armando Reynoso and his hits and home runs started accumulating quickly. In his first season, Pujols batted .329 with 37 homers and won the Rookie of the Year award while coming in fourth for MVP.
After playing 11 seasons with St. Louis and winning two World Series, Pujols signed a deal with the Los Angles Angels for 10 years and $240 million.

Cleveland pictures
The view from our seats…
The "I" logo is cleverly worked into a lot of Indians-related text, from "'I' am a true fan" on the tickets to "How may 'I' help you?" on buttons being worn by the ushers…
The Indians' mascot, some sort of purple thing that's more politically correct than, you know, an Indian would be…
Scott Elarton quickly pitching to Joe Borchard…
Levi keeping score, as always…
The final line (1 hour 56 minutes!)…

Cleveland Rocks, or, The Sox Don't Rock Yet Again
Sunday morning dawned gray and muggy, help and it looked like maybe our luck would finally run out and leave us rain-delayed on getaway day. Maura used the Internet to find an hour-by-hour forecast for Cleveland, sales and it didn't look good, alternating between storms, showers, and drizzle all day.
Undeterred, we crossed the bridge, left Pittsburgh, and made our way in the direction of America's poorest city, Cleveland, where we met Cleveland residents Dan and Dianne. The two MLB employees in our party could get two others of us into the game free, but that left one unaccounted for, so we headed to the ticket window. But our good fortune continued, as a man who was heading a group of 37 people but had 40 tickets gave us ticket 38, gratis.
Jacobs Field, right in downtown Cleveland, is a definite improvement on Municipal Stadium. I liked Municipal the one time I was there, for a fireworks night in 1993, because it was huge and squareish and old, but the odd configuration of the stands, built for multiple sports, meant the sight lines ranged from okay to crick-in-the-neck lousy. The Jake, one of the earliest of the throwback stadiums, is similar to all the new parks we have been to: huge concourses, lots of food stands, comfy seats. But it's got cozy dimensions, a high left-field wall, and, even for a meaningless game in August, a good, attentive crowd. The field itself seemed extra-pretty and green, though it might have just appeared that way in contrast to the threatening skies.
My search for vegetarian food today took me to the garlic fries booth (The garlic fries were good, but not quite as good as San Francisco's.), then to a burrito place, where I asked if I could get a burrito without meat. The concessionaire a) looked at me as if he had never heard that question, b) looked at me as if he couldn't imagine why anyone would ask that question, c) looked at me as if maybe the burritos were just meat wrapped in a tortilla, and he was imagining a tortilla full of air, then d) said he guessed I could. I decided to press on, and press on I did, until I found a sushi booth. The vegetarian sushi combo was better and consisted of more, and more varied, pieces than the one at Skydome. But perhaps I should have kept searching, because later, Maura returned to our seats from a food run with a chocolate-ice-cream-covered crepe that, as Dan said, made everyone around her stare as if she'd just walked by topless.
Having decided, due to our Clevelandite hangers-on, to root for the Indians and reserve our Sox rooting for tomorrow's game, we settled down in our seats along the first-base line to await what we expected would be a high-scoring affair. Neither the Indians starter, Scott Elarton, nor Jon Garland for the White Sox has been particularly distinguished this season, but apparently the full confidence of the BRPA 2004 team had a powerful effect on Elarton, who pitched brilliantly. He gave up a walk in the third,and a scratch hit on the infield in the fourth, but due to double plays, he faced the minimum all the way through the first eight innings.
Meanwhile, Jon Garland was giving up home run after home run after home run, as the Indians put up nine unanswered runs despite hitting into the best double play we'd ever seen. In the secondd inning,with Ben Broussard at second base, Ronnie Belliard grounded a ball back to Garland on the mound. He whirled and threw to shortstop Jose Valentin, catching Broussard too far off second. Broussard, knowing they had him dead to rights, headed for third, his only thought being to keep in the rundown long enough for Belliard to sneak up to second base safely. But third baseman Joe Crede forced Broussard back towards second, and, seeing that he had to stay alive a moment longer, Broussard headed that way; Crede hesitated a bit too long with the ball, and it looked as if Broussard might just make it back to second.
It was at that point that everyone in the stands and on the field realized that something extremely unusual might be about to happen. Broussard was sliding back into second, while Ronnie Belliard, running at top speed was dropping into his slide on the other side of second base. Shortstop Valentin, crouching on the third-base side of second, took the throw, slapped down a tag on Broussard, then swung his glove around and laid a tag on Belliard. The umpire, appearing to be as surprised as the rest of us, pointed to the left side of the bag and threw up a thumb, then pointed to the right side and threw it up again. The crowd erupted in a mix of surprise, awe, and laughter.
But it didn't matter. Elarton just kept cruising along in the best start of his career. In the ninth, having faced the minimum, he hit a batter intentionally as payback for a beaning of Ben Broussard the previous inning, then gave up a sharp single, the second hit of the game for the Sox, but then he shut the door. His final line: 9 innings pitched, 2 hits, 1 walk, 1 hit batsman, 0 runs, 6 strikeouts, 101 pitches. And it was all over in 1:56, the fastest game I think I've ever seen, and too fast for the promised storms ever to make an appearance.
Oh, and the Cleveland scoreboard needs a quick mention. Between innings early in the game, it showed the shell game with a ball and caps, but rather than show an animated version like at most ballparks, the Indians sent an employee into the stands to play with a kid and real caps and ball. All that was lacking was a shill to lay down $20 and show the kid how easy the game was. Later, they featured a Slurpee-drinking contest among three young girls, each slurping a different flavor. The winner, drinking the red Slurpee, bleary-eyed and staggered from her sudden ice-cream headache, walked away with a DVD set of the Kubrick Collection, or something like that. It was hard to see from far away.
Now we're on the road back home, about to hit I-94, the first doubling back of the trip. Tomorrow, we put our 9-0 record to the test, first at Comiskey, then at Milwaukee.
Dan: You forgot to mention the seventh-inning vocal chord stretch featuring William Hung.
Levi: And I forgot to mention the scabrous mascot of the Indians, some pink fuzzy nasty thing that looked like it had crawled out of the Cuyahoga back in its fiery days.

Of fountains and squirrels
Levi forgot to mention one of the best features of Saturday's Pirates-Cardinals game. During an inning break near the end of the game, the scoreboard had a question for us to vote on: what would you like to hear during the next half-inning?
1. "Old Time Rock 'n' Roll." A Pittsburgh favorite! Cheers and applause.
2. "Bad to the Bone." Another Pittsburgh favorite! Cheers and applause.
3. Video of a water-skiing squirrel. The crowd went wild!
As advertised, during the next break between half-innings, there was video of Nutty the Water-Skiing Squirrel water-skiing on the scoreboard.
On another note, initially, I had planned our entrance into Pittsburgh on Saturday to be from the south, via state route 88. It's the way I always drove in when I lived in the town of Library, in the south suburbs, right on 88. It's a fairly scenic drive that goes through some small western Pennsylvania towns, and I thought Levi and Maura might enjoy it.
That went out the window when Fox ordered the time of the game changed, which meant we had to get into town as quickly as possible, which meant the boring old entrance on I-376.
However, we did get a substitute Western Pennsylvania experience. After the game, for dinner, I suggested we go to Station Square, a development across the river from downtown Pittsburgh, since I knew how to get there via the subway and I knew there was a fairly good selection of restaurants. Levi, Maura, Allison, and I opted not to eat at Hooters, but instead went to a concept restaurant called the Red Star Tavern. Although it was technically a barbecue restaurant, Levi saw beer-cheddar soup on the menu and was happy.
Full of barbecue and $7.00 beers (cost, not value), we wandered out into the courtyard, where there was a fountain that had a bunch of different nozzles spraying in various combinations. Suddenly, the water stopped. Suddenly, the lights went out. And then it started: a synchronized water and light show, featuring various KDKA radio personalities talking about the history of Pittsburgh, interspersed with various Pittsburgh-related songs, including "We Are Family." Almost as if it had been planned, during the fountain display, two freight trains went by on the tracks between Station Square and the Monongahela River. Levi later said it was the best fountain in the history of fountains, even better than the General Motors Fountain at Comerica Park (which didn't teach us about the history of the automobile, or about Detroit, or about much of anything). However, there were no squirrels water-skiing in it.
Then we walked over the Smithfield Street bridge and continued for the 12 blocks or so back to the Hilton, some of us marveling at the fact that downtown Pittsburgh doesn't have anywhere near as many abandoned buildings as downtown Detroit.
Allison: Thanks for adding the fountain story; that definitely was worth the trip over to Station Square. And an odd note. I was back in NYC on Monday night, and ordered a draft 20 oz beer of the same brand that cost seven dollars for a 12 oz bottle in Pittsburgh. The cost? $6.50. Go figure.
Levi: What is the world coming to? Beer more expensive in Pittsburgh than NYC?

PlayerAuctions Recommends: Best Games of 2019
By PlayerAuctions | January 11th, 2020 | Categories: Others
The long list of game releases in 2019 was a mixed bag. The lows were definitely saddening and even downright disastrous at times, but the highs were incomparably awesome. Thankfully, there wasn't any shortage for the latter, making 2019 still quite the standout year for gaming in general. So let's look back at the ten best games of 2019—the last year of the previous decade!
Let's get this out of the way already: after the franchise's many misses and lukewarm releases, Call of Duty finally managed to get back to the gaming public's good graces with the confusingly named Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reboot.
Aside from the welcome return to the present-day setting and fixes to the multiplayer, what made the latest installment click with its re-energized players is the campaign. A relevant, emotionally-intense, and action-packed story about the moral ambiguity and chaos of present-day conflict, it's a must-play, even by casual gamers and gamers looking for a broad experience.
It's no surprise that Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was hailed as 2019's Game of the Year by The Game Awards, as it's a familiar yet unique FromSoftware offering. Their first ever title to be set in feudal Japan has a lush storyline that's spelled out for the players instead of being so ambiguous that players have to read between the lines.
Its grounded combat and steep learning curve is reminiscent of Dark Souls and Bloodborne, except instead of being evasion-based, it's more block and parry-focused. So instead of a stamina bar, you get a guard bar, which determines how many or how strong the attacks you can deter before your guard is broken. This allows for a faster-paced, more on-your-toes combat. The fight mechanic, gorgeous imagery, and haunting story – these make Sekiro a quintessential 2019 game.
The long-running and well-loved Pokémon franchise is not one to miss an appearance at the closing of the decade. It's a much-awaited game as it's the first ever installment to be on the Switch. So, despite its many controversies and inability to live up to the exact expectation of hardcore fans, it managed to be one of the top-selling games of the year.
PokémonSword and Shield gives trainers—both old and new—the opportunity to explore the Galar region, which is based on the UK. Aside from certain Pokémon, unique to the region are wild areas, where you can catch powerful Pokémon, camping out, and cooking curry. Last is Dynamax, a new mechanic that temporarily boosts a Pokémon's size and stats and upgrades its moves. Indeed, Pokemon has come a long way. The best way to see that is Pokémon Sword and Shield.
After Resident Evil 7's wild departure from the series' tried-and-tested formula, Capcom decided to bring their baby back to 2. However, it turned out to not just be a rehash, but a polished remake that utilizes the RE Engine. With such tech, the game has become so movie-like, thanks to its photorealistic rendering and shading, making Raccoon City and its infected more terrifying than ever. And perhaps most importantly, it uses Substance Scatters, which creates realistic-looking human skin, giving Leon, Claire, and Ada the best look they've ever had. If you want to relive the fear Resident Evil brings or face it the very first time, Resident Evil 2 is the perfect gateway.
Last but definitely not the least would be Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. From the developer that gave solid hits like Titanfall and Apex Legends, Respawn Entertainment managed to redeem the franchise's name in the gaming scene.
Set in between Episode III (Revenge of the Sith) and Episode IV (A New Hope), the game puts you in the shoes of Kal Kestis, a young Jedi in the time when the Order was being hunted down by the Empire. For him, the time for running is way past, and the time to fight back had begun. So hopefully you, the player, got your mad skills, because this game adopts Dark Souls-esque combat mechanics, except with much more emphasis on parrying.
So there you have it, the best games of 2019, and for very good reasons. If you haven't played even just one of them, you still have ample time to catch up and give them a spin. After all, 2019 was just a year ago!

This painting is perhaps the "moment" that started it all. My wife, son (texting from San Diego), daughter, and I were watching the Texas Rangers win their first American League Championship in the Fall of 2010. After the win, All-Star outfielder Nelson Cruz gave an interview wearing his celebratory shower cap and goggles. At that moment, I exclaimed: "I have to capture this moment!" The rest is history. It's rare to see these types of moments captured in art.

Energy Star Night (ehemals Energy Stars for Free) ist eine jährliche Konzertveranstaltung in Zürich. Sie wird seit 2003 von Energy Zürich, seit 2010 zusammen mit Energy Bern und seit 2012 mit Energy Basel organisiert. Dabei treten nationale und internationale, teils namhafte, Musiker auf.

Energy Stars for Free fand erstmals 2003, kurz nach der Lancierung von Energy Zürich, statt. Der damals noch im X-Tra veranstaltete Anlass zählte 1500 Zuschauer. Die zweite Ausgabe fand 2004 vor rund 4500 Besuchern in der Maag EventHall statt. Seit 2005 findet die Konzertreihe im Zürcher Hallenstadion statt und zählt jeweils rund 13'000 Zuschauer.

Through the extraordinary events of the Anzac invasion of Turkey's Gallipoli Peninsula, Lieutenant Gerald Gibson was an eyewitness to a military event that has been commemorated in Australia for nearly 100 years.
Stoically, he chronicled the first three months of the Anzac campaign from his position in the Light Horse supply division which enabled him to move freely around Anzac Cove. His diary challenges several long-held beliefs but, more importantly, paints a dramatic picture of life at an event that has emerged as one of the defining moments in Australia's history.

Charleston transit to replace aging Amtrak station with hub
September 19, 2013 • Metro Magazine Staff • Bookmark +
CHARLESTON, S.C. — The Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority will buy the Amtrak station in North Charleston and build a new bus and train hub there as part of a $14.6 million project that was resurrected Wednesday in a unanimous board vote, according to The Post and Courier.
The effort includes a 32,000 square-foot building that will be a center for local and regional buses as well as passenger rail, taxi and shuttle service, the report said. For the full story, click here.

Pokemon GO has been taking up plenty of my free time. Server connection issues, client lockups during the catching phase, and the wonderful issues with tracking have caused some frustration, but I am determined to catch them all. I've currently caught 65 of the 68 seen. I missed a Snorlax my brother and I were tracking (he caught it), client froze when I found a Pikachu and Vulpix. The server instability does cause the Nerdrage Meter to climb, but I take a deep breath and carry on with my journey. My neighborhood is a ghost town for stops and gyms, but the park I frequently visit to hike has a stop and a gym. My girlfriend and I will both pop an incense and go for a nice walk, and other days my brother and I will just post up at the gym and fight the good fight against Team Valor. There is also a pizza place right next door, and we think the employees there are always taking the gym back from us. We were completely spanked during our last visit. It doesn't look like Team Instinct has much of a presence in Bridgeville. The game is simple, fun, and I'm loving all of the stories I read online about it bringing people together. I can't wait to see what features Niantic adds next. Go Team Instinct!
AGDQ wrapped up early Sunday morning. If you weren't able to catch any of the broadcasts, they are still available over at Twitch. Here is a list of a few of my favorite events.
I love the Mega Man franchise, and I couldn't decide which run to choose.
I will bow to the TASBot overlords when the robot army enslaves humanity.
The reverse boss order run for A Link to the Past starts slow, but worth the watch. The commentary throughout the run is fantastic. i couldn't find a clip for the run, but you can skip to 20:03:30. http://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick/v/34377308. The Super Metroid RBO run can also be found at this link. Skip to 22:51:20.
I was trying to be good. I really didn't need to add any more titles to my library, but the sales. Oh so many sales. At least I'm playing them right away and not letting them collect virtual dust.
Ok I picked up more than I thought. I would also like to add Bad Rats: The Rats Revenge. Drizzle decided to send this one to me. I don't know why this didn't win game of year back in 2009. Bad Rats is a physics game where the goal is to use the items provided and find a way to kill the cat. So far I've set the cat on fire, electrocuted it, Shot its face off with a shotgun, had it mauled by a dog, dropped a safe on it, and had it chopped to pieces with a chainsaw. Is it a good game? Meh. It is strangely satisfying to play this on days when my furry beast is driving me crazy.
I haven't had a lot of time to play Reaper of Souls, but I'm loving what I've played so far. The new loot system keeps the upgrades flowing, and lowers the frustration level.
Outlast part 2 - It's Just a Game, Right?
I was invited to play the Titanfall beta. These videos are from the Attrition mode. I decided to try a couple of the loadouts.
It all came down to Monday night.
Poor Jesse. Where is he? He's not even on the list.
I can't wait to do this again next season.

The Triped Magnet mount allows you to mount the camera to any metal surface, i.e. hood or side of a vehicle, or the ability to use Stabilizer Bow Mount, Hat/Body Clip, or the Adhesive Backed Mounting Disc. (the Disc allows you to mount to surfaces that are not metal) You may also use the 1/4-20/tripod mounting disc. This gives you the ability to use any mount that has the standard tripod thread, but yet then gives you the ability to be able to quickly mount and position your camera, or quickly and easily remove from one mounting application to another. A great example of this would be to use the camera as a dashcam, then remove it from the vehicle and place it on the Hat/Body Clip for hands free video recording, then place it on your gun or bow while hunting.
What this mounting system gives you is a very compact, strong and easy to use mount for your Mobius2 & Mobius Mini ActionCam. It also give you more versatility, and with more versatility means more applications and usage for your Mobius2 & Mobius Mini camera. Simply put, the easier it is to use, the more you will use it!
The Quick Mount Adapter is made from 6061 Aluminum and Black anodized, which give you a very strong rigid mount while also acting as a heatsink for the camera. The Triped magnet mount is made from ABS plastic and has (3) neodymium magnets (VERY strong).

The 2017 Festival Family Weekend will feature four indoor artists:

The Way Back Home by Teater Refleksion
When a boy discovers a single-propeller airplane in his closet, he does what any young adventurer would do: he flies into outer space. The Way Back Home uses puppets to tell a simple yet profound tale about friendship and conquering the fear of the unknown.

C&A Foundation and Kiron– Designing a sustainable future with innovative solutions
We know you are committed to strengthening communities and creating impactful solutions for long-term change. So are we.
Together we can expand access to quality education and provide skill-trainings to help refugees and underserved communities with digital solutions tailored to their needs.
Join us and collaborate in the following areas
Transforming university access for refugees
Open up access to higher education for refugees and vulnerable communities
A university education remains an impossible dream for most displaced people worldwide with more than 97% of refugees unable access to higher education.
Since 2015, Kiron has worked to change that. Not only have we enabled students to transfer to a university and continue the studies that they started on our digital campus, we have also made significant contributions to the acceptance of digital education in higher education. By creating change on an individual and systemic level, we open up access to higher education for refugees and vulnerable communities. Join us in making an impossible dream possible.
Digital Communities
Putting people first through community building
We believe learning happens in a community but refugees and displaced people often find themselves isolated and with little contact to wider communities. That is why the digital Kiron Campus includes extensive community features such as message boards, chats, and digital classrooms which connect students all over the world to form a vibrant community online. We are really proud of the support that our students give to each other and we want to enable them to do more. Help us to expand our community features on the campus to create an even larger fellowship of students worldwide.
Digital education for the future of work
Help us to prepare refugees for the 21st-century job market
The future of work is digital and digital literacy and 21st-century skills are vital for labour market integration and success.
That is why Kiron created tailor-made short programs, designed to equip students with the tools they need to succeed in the job market. Our short programs teach students skills such as programming, web design or how to build their own online business and they are among our most widely used features on our digital Kiron Campus. Our students have come far with us, from founding their own startup to starting internships or getting promotions, but together we want to go further. Help us to create even more short programs so that we can prepare refugees for the 21st-century job market.
Transforming education access in the Middle East
Help us bringing blended education to communities in the Middle East
Syria's neighboring countries are disproportionately affected by the Syrian conflict. That is why Kiron has offices in Amman, Jordan, and Beirut, Lebanon, to provide students with crucial support and our unique blended learning program.
Students can access our courses online but they also have the option of becoming part of our vibrant offline communities by completing certificate programs and participating in our events. Almost 2000 students learn with us in Jordan and Lebanon alone. Through Kiron they were able to found their own business, to access university or to improve their language and community leadership skills. Support our work in Jordan and Lebanon and help us to bring blended education to communities in the Middle East.
Our partners help us turn ideas into action.Case studies

Gives example of Mexico where did ethnographic fieldwork in 2007 and 2010.
What shape of political community emerges from citizenship which can be defined in law – though informants skeptical of it – and which ultimately about living in society, understood as matrix that serves to contain wayward will of fallen Man?
not sure what mean by living in society: in contrast to formal rights, is this about belonging to identity group etc.?
John P for TS: he is clear on legal part of definition but struggling to identify other part of citizenship – how about passions such as patriotism? is this intentionally missing from project?
Nigel Dower for TS: general feature of ethical thinking: one thing to act in accordance with basic value, another thing to be committed to promoting it in certain ways, such as by actively promoting peace or justice (Rawls) > is this active dimension that TS is identifying?
Raul Acosta for TS: how much is living in society linked to urban model of colonisation that Spanish brought to the Americas?
How and why do Palestinians in Lod discard political community while in Jalazon see as main tool for survival?
Matyas Bodig: how does UNRWA relate to Palestinian Authority?
Ajay Gudavarthy: law operates through binary of legal and illegal > doesn't have space for idea of politics: how can politics re-enter?
Paul Tamuno: how to define stateless and minority? what is status of stateless in international law?
Nigel Dower: how far is the politicized logic of camp a function of it being a refugee camp, and how far is it a function of the character of UNWRA (which says won't arrest you if say X in spite of army)?

Microcirculation 'engine' could identify critically ill patients more effectively
Sight-saving eye drop in development
NIHR SRMRC Research Fellow Jon Hazeldine recognised for Golden Hour research
Major David Naumann
A first full-scale trial in the world of a device that could save the lives of patients with serious injuries has begun in the A&E department at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.
Major David Naumann, a Research Fellow at the NIHR Surgical Reconstruction and Microbiology Research Centre (SRMRC), hopes that studying the circulation of blood in the smallest vessels (the microcirculation) may help guide the treatment of patients who are critically ill.
The MICROSHOCK research is being led by Surgeon Commander Sam Hutchings at Kings College Hospital and was born out of a military project; the first patient to be recruited was treated at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan.
Major Naumann will observe the microcirculation of trauma patients by placing a specially designed hand-held microscope under their tongues. This microscope captures video clips of the tiny blood vessels that can be analysed by a computer to determine how abnormal they are.
Major Naumann explained: "When patients are bleeding due to severe injuries such as those sustained in a car crash or assault, their circulation may shut down because it has lost volume.
"The worrying part of losing blood volume is that not enough oxygen is available to the body since it is the blood that carries the oxygen.
"The body then starts to have oxygen 'debt', and the circulation becomes acidic until the oxygen can be restored.
"The oxygen supply and demand is determined by the microcirculation; the tiniest blood vessels in the body in between the arteries and veins. In fact, there is no part of the body more than a millimetre away from the microcirculation. It is the 'engine' that keeps the body alive."
Viewing the microcirculation with a microscope placed under the tongue is a non-invasive and potentially more accurate way of diagnosing failure of the circulation than the traditional methods of measuring blood pressure and heart rate.
Major Naumann added: "When patients are bleeding and are given fluid to replace the lost blood, it is possible that their blood pressure will improve and give false reassurance because there is still a poorly functioning microcirculation.
"Normally that would be hidden and unknown but with the video-microscope this can now be seen.
"It may be useful to know this information during resuscitation in order to guide fluid management, hence the research."

What Is Forex Management?
By: Kofi Bofah
Foreign Currency image by Stephanie Mueller from Fotolia.com
The Definition of Foreign Exchange Management
Foreign exchange, or forex, is essential to transacting global business. Consumers must convert domestic currency to make overseas purchases, while businesses are concerned with trading international profits for domestic banknotes. Global commerce, however, does carry distinct risks of losses. Effective forex management minimizes these economic risks, while providing cash flow to meet everyday expenses and improve earnings.
The foreign exchange market refers to the network of individuals, banks and organized financial exchanges that trade global currencies. Foreign exchange management requires its participants to enter the market to deliver and accept currencies at fluctuating exchange rates. From there, individuals may either hold foreign currency in reserve to make payments or return overseas profits back home in the form of domestic banknotes. Proper foreign exchange management accounts for these transactions, while anticipating shifts in currency valuations that affect the bottom line.
Foreign exchange management requires you to follow current events that translate into fluctuating exchange rates for a particular country. Savers prefer to do business in nations that feature stable governments and strong economies. Institutions and private individuals must trade for these currencies—in order to establish businesses and purchase investments that they believe will grow in value. Alternatively, investors liquidate overseas holdings in the case of economic recession and political instability that is attributable to a particular country. For example, businesses would quickly sell assets and retreat from a nation that is undergoing military coup—where the new regime is hostile to foreign investors.
Beyond buying and selling goods, currencies may be traded for financial gain. Foreign exchange management analyzes the economic records of prospective countries—in order to uncover and buy undervalued currencies. The goal is to hold these notes until exchange rates improve to mirror favorable developments, such as strong national employment reports and falling budget deficits. Successful currency trading increases profitability and buying power.
Foreign exchange management must also identify the distinct risks of transacting global business. Adverse shifts in currency valuations can translate into losses. For example, exporters lose sales when domestic exchange rates strengthen. At that point, exported goods become more expensive to foreign buyers. Further, businesses that hold large foreign exchange reserves also lose purchasing power at home when the domestic currency values appreciate. Meanwhile, consumers face the risks of declining domestic exchange rates that increase the costs of imported goods and overseas purchases.
Foreign exchange management may use diversification and currency derivatives to manage risks and preserve profits. Currency derivatives are bought to establish predetermined exchange rates for set periods. These derivatives include futures, options and forwards. Currency futures and options trade on organized exchanges, such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Forwards, however, are customized agreements between two parties to negotiate future exchange rates between themselves.
Smaller investors may elect to diversify with mutual funds according to geography, instead. For example, high commodity costs may lead Japan into economic recession, while mutual funds investing in resource-rich Russia are making money.

Visiting Cezanne-and the Future
Posted by Marie Bonfils on 30 Mar 2018 / 0 Comment
Artist's Fall in Love with Despair
Red Rover's new production at 18th and Union, Visiting Cezanne, explores many of the self-destructive as well as sustaining tendencies of artists, using a time traveling setting and plot. This vehicle brings together two discouraged artists and alters history.
Written by Duane Kelly, directed by Andrew McGinn, Visiting Cezanne introduces a contemporary frustrated American artist, Nora Baker, in the midst of a mid-life crisis, who is miraculously transported back to Paul Cezanne's studio in Aix-en-Provence, circa 1900, i.e. six year's before his death, in 1906
In reality, at this point in history, Paul Cezanne only knew moderate success, and it was not until in 1907, at a posthumous exhibition, that his well-deserved reputation became established.
However, in the play history was changed. In 2016, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Nora Baker learns of an obscure artist named Paul Cezanne, who never became famous, and is only known to a few scholars as an "acquaintance" of the famous Impressionists Renoir, Degas, Pissarro etc.
When Nora ends up in Cézanne's studio, Cézanne as an older frustrated artist and the younger frustrated artist have several discussions about what keeps artists going; is it external recognition or something else. Along the way, Cezanne's unique philosophy of painting; that of capturing not just the visual image but also the actual sense of the objectswas discussed. Two other figures from the past enter, the gardener, Germain Vallier, played by Dara Lillis, who also sometimes posed for Cézanne and a novice art historian from Utah, Bessie Shaw, played by Libby Barnard
In the end, Nora manages to get back to 2016 with Cezanne's help, rejuvenates her life and artistic career, with the knowledge she gained from Cezanne, and changes history.
Some of the dialogue is rather catchy and there are amusing jokes about new inventions as well as Cezanne's rants about the "corruption" of the new inventions in Paris (the decadent North of France) which have even invaded the Southern rustic paradise of Provence.
I would say that the structure of the play is somewhat rambling and the material is better suited for a screenplay. In the absence of subtitles, the director cleverly used different accents to distinguish when the actors were speaking English to the Americans and when they were speaking French. This added a lot to the play, the accents were spot on, coached by Leah Fishbaugh, clearly French, but clearly understandably in the last row.
Bill Johns as Paul Cezanne put in an excellent performance, the costumes by Fawn Bartlett, captured the zeitgeist of the belle-époch and suited every character to a T-. Although it contained both the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and Cézanne's studio in Aix, the set, by Amelia Modlin, worked well enough in the small space under Andrew McGinn's excellent direction.
If you like art, and have a special fondness (or passionate attachment as I do) for Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and early modern art, it is definitely an interesting play to see. Get your tickets early, it was sold out on Friday night
Visiting Cezanne by Duane Kelly Red Rover Theatre Company, 18th and Union Arts Space, 1406 06 18th Ave, Seattle 98122 ( Central District corner 18th and Union) Fri, Sat 7:30 pm. Sat: 2:00 pm. Til March 31.

NEW YORK — New York's soaring real estate prices have had a dramatic impact on scores of neighborhoods, including the city's famed Chinatown.
The area in lower Manhattan has long been a critical base for Chinese immigrants and their families, making it one of the largest concentrations of ethnic Chinese in the West. But now many are leaving as an influx of white professionals and students drive up the cost of housing.
Peter Kwong, professor of Asian American Studies and Urban Planner at Hunter College, says developers eager to build high-rises are part of the reason for the shift. But he also blames outgoing Mayor Michael Bloomberg. "City Hall [has] been doing this throughout New York City, particularly Manhattan, Chinatown is the last area that has not been gentrified," he said.
A report released earlier this year by the New York-based Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund says there is a similar shortage of affordable housing in Chinatowns in Boston and Philadelphia. The report found an increase in luxury housing and hotels, and a decline in Asian businesses as well as family households.
In New York, Mayor Bloomberg's policies are credited for a significant decrease in crime, and many of his supporters say that rent increases are a sign of a city's economic progress.
But in Manhattan's Chinatown those rent increases have already pushed many former residents out. According to the 2010 Census, about 17 percent of Chinatown's Chinese residents, some 6,000 people, were displaced from the neighborhood since 2000.
Sun Meirong, has been living in Manhattan's Chinatown since she first came to the United States from her native city of Fuzhou in 1990. Her restaurant is close to Canal Street, the gravitational center of the island's Chinatown and she says she has seen a significant decrease in customers, mostly Chinese immigrants.
Sun says that many of her neighbors have been evicted from their homes after landlords decided to renovate the buildings.
"After that they just sold to developers without considering to give it to the people who were living there in the first place: immigrants," she says.
For Sun, what is happening in Chinatown is counter to the ideals America stands for.
"The U.S. is a country of immigrants, but many immigrants get here and do not have a place to live or cannot afford it," she says.
Grassroots organizations in Chinatown are fighting what they see as the gutting of their neighborhood.
Li Hua, secretary of the Chinese Staff & Workers' Association, says that her organization collected thousands of signatures to stop recent plans for more luxury development in Manhattan's East Side.
With a new mayor elect ready to step into New York's city hall, some are hopeful that the trend for Chinatown and other low-income neighborhoods in New York will be reversed.
New Mayor Bill de Blasio has pledged to narrow the gap between the wealthy and the poor in New York and expand the available affordable housing in the city.
