The physical and mental health status and health practices of physicians in British Columbia
Issue: BCMJ, vol. 52 , No. 7 , September 2010 , Pages 349-355	Clinical Articles
By: Erica Frank, MD, Erica Oberg, ND, Carolina Segura, MD, Andrew Clarke, MD Hui Shen, PhD,
Background: Our purpose was to describe the physical and mental health status and health practices of BC physicians, and to compare these with the health and practices of physicians in other Canadian provinces as well as with the health habits of nonphysician Canadians.
Methods: A questionnaire was used to conduct a cross-sectional survey between November 2007 and May 2008. Respondents included 582 BC physicians and 2631 Canadian physicians from other provinces.
Results: BC physicians were like other Canadian physicians regarding many characteristics, including their weight; their use of tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine; their vitamin/mineral consumption; their personal screening habits, personal and professional attitudes, and levels of professional burnout. However, BC physicians were more likely to be family practitioners and to be male, middle-aged, and born outside of Canada. BC physicians ate fewer fruits and vegetables than did other Canadian physicians, and while they exercised more, there was still considerable room for improvement, as 42% of BC physicians did not meet Centers for Disease Control and Prevention physical activity guidelines.
Conclusions: While BC's physicians, like other physicians in Canada, have many healthy habits, an intervention to improve their diets and exercise habits would be timely and likely useful for both the physicians and their patients, who are known to be affected by physician role modeling.
There is a strong and consistent relationship between physicians' health choices and the recommendations they make to their patients, so improving the already relatively good health of BC physicians can make a significant impact on patients.
While we have recently documented the relatively good health and personal health practices of Canadian physicians collectively, no one has considered data on the physical and mental health or personal health practices of physicians in BC.
Such an investigation is worthwhile because physicians' personal health habits strongly and consistently affect patients' health habits.[1]
Described previously in more detail,[2] a national study was conducted from November 2007 to May 2008 using a random sample of 3213 Canadian physicians.
The protocol was piloted and then approved by the UBC Behavioural Research Ethics Board. The questionnaire included questions about physician demographic characteristics, general health, and health practices.
Many of the questions about health habits were taken verbatim from the Canadian Community Health Survey (www.statcan.gc.ca/cgi-bin/imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getSurvey&SDDS=3226&lang=en&db=imdb&adm=8&dis=2), the National Study on the Work and Health of Nurses (www.statcan.gc.ca/cgi-bin/imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getSurvey&SDDS=5080&lang=en&db=imdb&adm=8&dis=2), and the CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (www.cdc.gov/BRfss/questionnaires/english.htm).
We sent the questionnaire and cover letter to 8100 randomly selected physicians, excluding residents and retired physicians. Mailings began in November 2007, with follow-ups to nonresponders in December 2007 and January 2008.
Responses were accepted until April 2008, and a fourth mailing went to BC physicians in order to boost response rates. Responses were eventually received from 582 BC physicians and 2631 physicians from other provinces, for a response rate of 41%.3
We weighted data for nonresponse using the raking ratio method to match physicians' demographic characteristics known to the Canadian Medical Association: province by type of physician (family/general versus other specialist) and sex by age group (20–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69, 70+).
The analysis was run in SAS and R3 environments using weighted data. The analysis was run using unweighted data as well, and we did not find significant differences, suggesting the absence of a nonresponder bias.
As shown in Table 1, BC physicians were slightly more likely to be male, middle-aged, and born outside of Canada than were other Canadian physicians.
They were more likely to be family physicians and to practise in community hospitals and in settings that were urban/suburban rather than inner city.
They were also more likely to practise in a private office/clinic, freestanding clinic, or nursing home, and less likely to practise in academe.
Their primary professional income sources were more likely to be fee-for-service or service contracts, and BC physicians were less likely to be salaried or capitated.
Table 2 demonstrates that BC physicians' physical and mental health and their disability status were extremely similar to those of all Canadian physicians, though they were slightly more likely to have disability insurance.
BC physicians and all Canadian physicians had similar BMI readings, with a BMI of 25 or less reported by 57% of physicians in BC and 55% of physicians in other provinces.
Regarding personal health habits (Table 3), BC physicians resembled all Canadian physicians in their use of tobacco, alcohol, and supplementary calcium and other vitamins/minerals.
Some differences in health habits were found, including BC physicians' fruit and vegetable intake (Table 4), which was less than that of all Canadian physicians.
While BC physicians exercised considerably more than other Canadian physicians, 42% of them did not meet Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) physical activity guidelines;[4] this is true for 39% of BC physicians who trained in Canada, 19% of BC physicians who trained in the US, and 52% of those trained in another country (P=.02; data not shown).
BC physicians' personal screening practices were generally similar to all Canadian physicians' (Table 5), although BC female physicians were somewhat more likely to have had a Pap smear in the past year than were all Canadian female physicians (55% vs 47%, P = .05), and BC male physicians were somewhat less likely (P = .05, data not shown) to have had a testicular exam by a clinician.
BC physicians who have been trained in a Canadian medical school are more likely to have had a Pap test in the last year than those trained in the US or another country (56% vs 44%, or 44%, data not shown); for all Canadian women physicians, those trained in Canada (48%) and the US (49%) were more likely than those trained elsewhere to have had a Pap test (39%).
BC physicians' personal and professional attitudes were also very similar to those of all Canadian physicians, as was their knowledge of available mental and physical health resources (Table 6).
While BC and other Canadian physicians have generally similar levels of professional burnout, other Canadian physicians say they are less likely to ever feel cynical, and more frequently feel exhilarated by their work than BC physicians do (Table 7).
Most personal and professional characteristics of BC physicians are positive and are similar to those of other Canadian physicians. However, there are some differences and some areas worth targeting for health promotion.
Although the demographics and work environments of BC physicians differed from other Canadian physicians in only a few ways, these differences may be significant.
For instance, the fact that BC physicians were less likely to practise in inner city settings or in academe, plus the fact that BC has a higher percentage of physicians born outside Canada, suggests that there may be insufficient medical faculty to train physicians to meet the future health care workforce needs of the province.
While policymakers should expect to see this situation improved by the expansion of UBC's Faculty of Medicine, this should be monitored.
BC physicians' physical and mental health and their disability status were extremely similar to those of all Canadian physicians, though BC physicians were slightly more likely to have disability insurance.
Nonsalaried physicians working in BC are eligible to apply for disability insurance under an agreement between the BCMA and the Ministry of Health Services,[5] while physicians in other provinces must self-fund 100% of their disability insurance (oral communication with Sandie Braid, director, Insurance Department, BCMA, 1 February 2010).
Given this situation, it is somewhat surprising that the differential rate of disability insurance is not larger.
BC physicians' average fruit and vegetable intake was less than that of Canadian physicians overall (P<.0001), and 42% do not meet CDC physical activity guidelines.
However, BC physicians' exercise habits are still considerably better than those of other Canadian physicians: BC physicians averaged 207 minutes per week of exercise, meeting the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care's[6] recommended requirement of 30-plus minutes most days of the week.
This echoes trends in the BC general population, the most active of all the provinces: 55% of British Columbians over age 20 are moderately physically active.[7]
This finding suggests that a number of factors may encourage physical activity in BC, including the natural and built environment, the provincial culture, and the types of people who choose to live in BC.
If such factors were identified for physicians (and others), they could be promoted to further increase physical activity here and elsewhere in Canada among physicians and their patients.
Importantly, physicians could then serve as even better role models for the general population: physicians who have healthy personal habits are more likely to counsel their patients on related prevention issues,[1] and those who disclose their own healthy habits (including exercise and diet) are perceived as more believable and motivating than others.[8]
Population obesity rates are also significantly lower in BC than other provinces.[9] While BC physicians trend toward lower BMI readings when compared with other Canadian physicians, the difference is not statistically significant.
This reinforces the importance of targeting physicians for health promotion interventions, especially for physical activity, and fruit and vegetable consumption.
BC physicians' cigarette and alcohol consumption habits were similar to those of other Canadian physicians. As in the US (where about 4% of physicians smoke cigarettes),[10,11] only 3.3% of Canadian physicians smoke, compared with 18% of Canadian women and 15% of Canadian men in the general population.[12]
Most (75% of female physicians and 83% of male physicians) consume alcohol at least monthly, almost identical to the 77% of Canadian women and 82% of Canadian men who report drinking alcohol in the past year.[13]
But (as reported among US female physicians),[10] both BC and other Canadian physicians were much less likely to report heavy drinking (5 or more drinks on one occasion once a month or more often in the past 12 months) than was the general population: 3.4% of BC female physicians (vs 3.7% of Canadian female physicians and 9.6% of Canadian women) and 9.2% of BC male physicians (vs 11% of Canadian male physicians and 24% of Canadian men).[13]
The majority of BC physicians report never binge drinking (80% for females, 66% for males).
Regarding professional burnout, BC physicians report similar levels reported by other Canadian physicians.
On the positive side, BC physicians more strongly endorsed indicators of value congruence, such as sharing health system values and feeling that personal career goals are supported, than did other Canadian physicians.
However, BC physicians were also more likely to feel strained by work and cynical about their contribution, and were less exhilarated by their work.
Overall, these results indicate that when comparing the work experience of BC physicians with their counterparts across Canada, the similarities are more striking than the differences.
However, there are a few indicators that BC physicians are both more idealistic (specifically their stronger endorsement of value congruence), and are experiencing more strain than their counterparts in other provinces.[14]
The most effective burnout interventions develop qualities of the work environment through organizational development, the personal experiences of individuals through therapy,[15] and collegial relationships among health care providers.[16]
Our next steps with these data will involve formulating interventions to further improve the health of BC physicians. This will serve both BC doctors and their patients, as there is a strong and consistent relationship between physicians' personal health choices and the recommendations they make to their patients.[1]
Interventions should reduce negative provincial disparities (such as lower fruit and vegetable consumption), and promote areas where physician role-modeling may be most influential (such as exercise).

If natural resources are managed well, they can foster economic development by providing opportunities for decent employment, business development, increased fiscal revenues, and infrastructure linkages. Historically, however, extractives have often contributed to many of the challenges that the SDGs are trying to address such environmental degradation, displacement of populations, conflict, corruption and the violation of human rights. EITI implementing countries have made significant advances in mitigating and managing such impacts and risks, by improving how the sector manage their economic and social impacts. Implementation of EITI will contribute to the achievement of the targets below.
The multi-stakeholder governance approach and data focus of the EITI predates the approach of the Agenda 2030. It has a track record of tangible results across over 50 resource-rich countries. This paper selects a cross-section of the 169 targets listed under the 17 SDGs to illustrate how the EITI contributes to this development agenda. This is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the linkages between the SDGs and the EITI.
By 2030, eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere, currently measured as people living on less than $1.25 a day. The EITI is a global standard that promotes open, accountable and inclusive management of natural resources. EITI stakeholders subscribe to EITI Principle 1 that "the prudent use of natural resource wealth should be an important engine for sustainable economic growth that contributes to sustainable development and poverty reduction, but if not managed properly, can create negative economic and social impacts". Principle 4 goes on to say "A public understanding of government revenues and expenditure over time could help public debate and inform choice of appropriate and realistic options for sustainable development".
See how Mongolia is using online tools to make the EITI relevant to domestic priorities.
Encourage … financial flows, including foreign direct investment, to States where the need is greatest, in particular least developed countries, African countries, small island developing States and landlocked developing countries, in accordance with their national plans and programmes.
Countries implement the EITI for a number of reasons, including attracting quality foreign direct investment.
See why so many companies and financial institutions support the EITI and why hundreds of industry representatives take part in implementing the EITI Standard in national EITI councils around the world.
By 2030 significantly reduce illicit financial … flows, … and combat all forms of organized crime and Target 16.5 substantially reduce corruption and bribery in all its forms.
The EITI acts as a diagnostic tool for improving government systems in the extractive sector. This reduces exploitation of weak systems and institutions.
See how the Democratic Republic of the Congo has used the EITI's beneficial ownership disclosure requirements to show where political exposed persons have been appointed extractives rights.
The EITI Standard helps countries build and maintain strong institutions. Countries that implement the EITI have to regularly review and disclose information about every stage along the extractive industry value chain – from the legal and fiscal framework, through licenses, production and state-owned enterprise, to how extractives-related payments are transferred back to local communities. See how Honduras, Kazakhstan and Sierra Leone are using the EITI to build strong institutions.
The EITI is built on the idea that stakeholders can achieve more working together, even if their points of departure may be diametrically opposed. In many countries, the EITI's main achievement is providing a platform for stakeholders who would otherwise be unable to take part in the public debate. For countries who have recently experienced conflict or repression, the EITI provides a framework that allows all parties to come to the table and have engage in meaningful discussions on the management of the natural resource sector – often for the first time. See how the EITI is being used in Myanmar and around the world to make progress on inclusive governance.
How can the technical findings of over 300 pages of an EITI Report be effectively communicated to communities living near mines and oilfields? See how EITI Indonesia has embraced these challenges and brought the EITI to local communities through different media.
Strengthen domestic resource mobilization, including through international support to developing countries to improve domestic capacity for tax and other revenue collection.
Mobilizing domestic resources is the main mechanism for achieving goals at the national level. GDP growth has the potential to generate increased funds for health, education, and other core components of development. Some countries do not yet have robust systems to collect taxes, reduce tax evasion, and account properly for financing allocations. As paragraph 26 of the Addis Agreement notes "Countries relying significantly on natural resource exports face particular challenges… We encourage countries to implement measures to ensure transparency, and take note of voluntary initiatives such as the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative". The EITI helps to improve the capacity of domestic tax systems to stem illicit flows and tax avoidance. See how Nigeria is using the EITI to recover over USD 2.4 billion that can be used to make progress on SDG 17.
Encourage and promote effective public, public-private, and civil society partnerships, building on the experience and resourcing strategies of partnerships.
"In seeking solutions, we believe that all stakeholders have important and relevant contributions to make – including governments and their agencies, extractive industry companies, service companies, multilateral organisations, financial organisations, investors and non-governmental organisations".
The multi-stakeholder approach of the EITI is central to the operation and philosophy of the Agenda 2030, and it is reflected in how the EITI is governed and implemented where relevant actors are represented. These include government agencies, industry and civil society. See guidance note on MSG oversight of the EITI reporting cycle.
By 2020, enhance capacity building support to developing countries, including for LDCs and SIDS, to increase significantly the availability of high-quality, timely and reliable data.
Data deriving from EITI processes increase awareness about how countries' natural resources are used and how extractives resources are awarded, monetised and allocated. EITI countries have together published data on the extractive sector covering around 300 fiscal years. Until recently, this data was not very accessible or useable, contained only in paper reports and pdf files. Disclosing timely data as "open data" online enables users to make better use of EITI data to inform public debate about the extractive industries. See how the Government of Sierra Leone has reformed the administration of its mining sector by implementing an electronic mining cadaster system resulting in stakeholders having access to timely and accurate data.

eSIM not working on iPhone 14 in Russia? Everything you need to know is here
Author admin Reading 5 min Views 18 Published by September 29, 2022
eSIM on iPhone 14 – not working
iPhone 14 with eSIM
How to reset network settings on iPhone
Despite the fact that eSIM technology has been used in Russia for several years, the release of the iPhone 14 has changed things a bit. Whether due to the fact that Apple did not pre-configure the new product for the infrastructure of Russian operators, or for some other reason, however, already in the early days new iPhone sales users from Russia complained that they had unable to activate eSIM. Those who bought US version of iPhone 14, which has no slots for physical SIM cards at all. Will they be left without the Internet and cellular communications?
To understand the origins of the problem, we had to seriously dive into the problem and find those dissatisfied who really eSIM not working in iPhone 14. Presumably, it was necessary to search among the subscribers of MTS, Beeline and Megafon, because Tele2, as we found out, had no problems from the very beginning.
However, the search was not successful. The participants of our chat in Telegram, who complained about the problems, did not answer in the end, and we decided to look, and how many of those who faced the impossibility eSIM activation on iPhone 14 in Russia. It turned out that a little. Well, there are almost none of them. There are only a few negative reviews.
But probably, eSIM does not work in Russia only the iPhone without a physical slot for a SIM card, which was brought from the USA. These are just sold in M.Video, and even 5 thousand rubles cheaper than the "full" version. But wait a minute, if a smartphone has communication problems, then what's the point of selling it?
Unfortunately, we were unable to find anyone who would use iPhone 14 with eSIM only no physical slot. However, the doubts that there will be no problems with them were dispelled by the operators themselves, to whom we turned for clarification.
As explained in Megafon, regardless of the firmware of the eSIM module, which is used in Apple smartphones and the country in which a particular device was originally sold, there are no and will not be restrictions in Russian networks. This is a very important clarification, because many people now refuse iPhone 14 purchases only with eSIM, fearing that they will be left without a connection.
I believe that smartphones without physical SIM slots should not be feared. For myself, I would buy one. This is not only convenient, because you can not bother with needles and trays, but also practical, because the iPhone 14 allows add up to 3 eSIMsusing 3 tariffs at once on different numbers. In this sense, such a device does not carry any restrictions for users. So don't be afraid. Especially, iPhone 14 with eSIM only also allows you to save money.
Does this mean there were no problems? Well, actually no. But there are at least two explanations for their presence.
Firstly, problems could be observed due to incompatible profiles, which in the Russian Federation differ, for example, from US ones. However, the main Russian operators have GSMA certificate to independently generate such profiles. Therefore, even if the first devices imported into the Russian Federation did not activate in Russian eSIM networks, after the operators made changes to their infrastructure, the problems disappeared.
Secondly, problems with eSIM activation in iPhone 14 are found not only in Russia, but even in those countries where new items are officially delivered. And there are many more of them than here. Therefore, Western colleagues have prepared some tips that should probably help bring the built-in SIM card back to life:
Restart smartphone;
Install the latest update;
Disable and enable eSIM in Settings again;
Check the balance of minutes and gigabytes according to the eSIM tariff – the connection may not work because of this;
Reset network settings;
Reinstall your eSIM profile;
Ask your carrier for help.
Reset network settings on iPhone not so difficult. Moreover, the benefits of this recovery method are really difficult to overestimate:
Go to "Settings" of your iPhone;
Open the General tab and scroll down;
Here, select "Transfer or reset iPhone";
Select "Reset" – "Reset network settings" and confirm the action.
By the way, my mom's iPhone recently had a similar incident, and she doesn't have an iPhone 14. The smartphone lost all connection with LTE, 3G and even 2G. Whatever I did with him, but in the end, the banal reset of the network settings, which we described above, helped. As a result, I didn't even have to interrupt the data for the Internet connection, as required by the operators. Just reset the Wi-Fi passwords, that's all.

"Six little words that could bring down a government … don't you think she looks tired?"
Those words and a couple of questionable decisions ousted the fictional Harriet Jones from the Prime Ministership of Great Britain. So powerful is one's appearance that all it takes is speculative criticism and fading appearance to lose a grip on authority.
In related news, everyone's favourite jumble-a-quote man Ian Holloway has left Crystal Palace by mutual consent after winning only one of his team's eight Premier League games so far this season. Former Bristol City manager Keith Millen will take over as interim boss as the club investigates possible new blood; names mentioned so far have included former Stoke City manager Tony Pulis, a re-hired Neil Warnock and Western Sydney Wanderers manager Tony Popovic.
This may genuinely be one of those rare situations in football where the term mutual consent isn't simply a kinder synonym for sacked. A man whose straightforward nature and Worzel-type accent sometimes drew attention away from a keen football mind, Holloway was visibly exhausted only three months into the season and as he failed to balance a squad that boasted plenty of players but only a few of even an average level. His flowing, offensive tactics have plenty of merit in the Championship but have now failed twice to transport to Premier League standard.
The travails of managing a club unprepared for life at the top level were apparent on his usually smiling features. Recent pictures – including this one, usually a bog-standard "manager shot" – show a defeated man, albeit one who hadn't yet surrendered. When even the involuntary parts of body language betray a manager so quickly, doubts build about his ability to make effective decisions; as the stress increased, it became increasingly apparent that Ian Holloway's future lay away from Selhurst Park.

Ю́та () — пресноводное озеро на севере центральной части штата Юта, США. Площадь зеркала составляет 380 км²; средняя глубина — около 3,2 м. Единственной рекой, вытекающей из озера, является Джордан, которая течёт на север и впадает в Большое Солёное озеро.

Озеро расположено на западной оконечности долины Юта, которая окружается горными хребтами Уосатч (на востоке), Траверс (на севере) и Лейк-Маунтинс (на западе). Наиболее высокие пики в окрестностях озера — гора Небо (3616 м), гора Тимпаногос (3580 м) и гора Уэст-Маунтин (2074 м). Само озеро лежит на высоте 1368 м над уровнем моря и составляет около 39 км в длину и 21 км в ширину. На восточном побережье Юты расположены города Прово и Орем. Площадь водосбора озера составляет 9960 км² и представляет собой преимущественно горную местность. Высшей точкой бассейна является гора Болд (3586 м) в горном хребте Юинта. Двумя крупнейшими притоками Юты являются реки Прово и Спаниш-Форк, привносящие вместе около 60 % от всей воды, поступающей в озеро.

Озеро Юта является остатком более крупного озера Бонневиль, которое существовало здесь в плейстоцене и своей при максимальной площади около 30 000 лет назад составляло около 51 000 км² (немногим меньше современного озера Мичиган) и лежало на высоте 1550 м над уровнем моря. Около 12 000 лет назад климат региона начал изменяться, становясь теплее и суше. Из-за испарения озеро сильно уменьшилось в размерах, а затем и распалось на несколько небольших водоёмов: озеро Юта, Большое Солёное озеро, озеро Севир и озеро Раш. Под озером Юта проходят 3 геологических разлома. Один из них, разлом Бёрд-Айленд, идёт вдоль восточной оконечности озера и является причиной выхода горячих источников близ Линкольн-Бич. Другим важным местом выхода горячих источников является северное побережье, а само место выхода носит название Саратога-Спрингс. В южной части озера располагается небольшой остров Бёрд, площадью около 3,62 км². В наиболее многоводные года этот остров полностью затопляется водой.

Celtic winger James Forrest could be fit to face Valencia next week in the first leg of the Europa League knockout round, according to reports.
The 27-year-old picked up a hamstring injury against St Johnstone in the 2-0 win on Sunday, but scans have shown that the problem is not as serious as initially feared.
If Forrest is fit for the European clash, it would come as a huge boost to manager Brendan Rodgers who is currently without a number of first-team players.
The Hoops' injury list is currently in double figures. The likes of Mikael Lustig, Filip Benkovic, Kieran Tierney, Tom Rogic and Eboue Kouassi are all on the treatment table, with only Olivier Ntcham and Dedryck Boyata having a chance of being fit to face Valencia.
Celtic have included Timothy Weah, Oliver Burke and Jeremy Toljan in their Europa League squad for the knockout stages. With Odsonne Edouard having picked up a knock against St Johnstone and Leigh Griffiths still absent, the added firepower will be very welcome.


Police officers are principally employed and enjoy making a difference to a community, town or at the highest level even a city. Officers represent the public facing division of the law and as a result they require specialist skills to ensure they present as well as possible at all times whilst fighting for the cause they protect, namely upholding and enforcing the laws of our country.
Police officers must be ready to face all manner of different obstacles on a daily or even hourly basis. As a result, only those who relish a challenge need apply. Before applying candidates are expected to consider the role that they are applying for. Whilst it is at times dangerous and stressful, police officers are in a position to really make a difference on a particular beat.
Police officers work to various key roles they must perform; protect the community from violence, reassure the community and anyone affected by crime and at the higher end to solve complex investigations on controversial matters.

Q: Occasional Severe SQL Slowdowns Loading a page in a web app that makes local database calls generally takes 10-15 seconds for a given query. Loading the exact same page occasionally takes ~10-15 times as long, and I've traced the additional page load time back to increased SQL query execution time. I'm a novice when it comes to SQL so beyond checking my CPU and memory (I'm never over 50% on either), I don't know where to start.
I've tried searching for similar problems/solutions, but have generally only found references to people being out of memory, or instructions specifically based on optimizing a stored procedure that is always running slowly. Neither of these seem to address my issue, which is that running the exact same queries occasionally takes 10-15 times longer than when I run them at different times. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any immediate work-arounds such as restarting my computer.
This has happened three times over the last ~2 weeks. One moment it is working fine, the next, it's taking 10 times as long. Eventually, it gets back to normal - both times I left my computer overnight/over the weekend without powering down and returned to fast load times when I came back in and tried again. I did not exit out of any applications or explicitly alter the state of my system in either case.
I'm running SQL Server 2012 on Windows 8, if that is of any importance. I'm at a loss as to why this is happening, so any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, David

quick explanation of his was, "SQL figures out a query plan when a proc is first executed. If the first execution is atypical, it can cause the storage of a bad plan."
Thanks to everyone who responded.

A: I'm not an sql-server expert by any means but I've had to debug a couple of situations like this as well.
Using the profiler is what worked best for me.  This is the link that I started with, it discusses how to monitor your db with the profiler.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa173918(v=sql.80).aspx
In my case the source of the slow down was one C# clean up process that hammered the db in a tight loop trying to read, then sanitize, and then write back the data to the db, which didn't let other processes have much room for executing during the 2 minutes it was running.
The profiler detected this right away

Clare Kennedy reported on Aeon's purchase of 10 older apartment buildings in Finance & Commerce's Nov. 1, 2017 issue.
In one $77 million mega-deal, nonprofit housing developer Aeon has purchased a portfolio of 10 older apartment buildings comprising 768 units.
The Minneapolis-based affordable housing developer and owner closed Tuesday on the transaction. Six of the properties are in Bloomington, one is in St. Paul and the others in New Hope and Brooklyn Center.
The seller was Hillaway Investments LLC, an entity controlled by the children of the late Miles Fiterman.
Arthur said Aeon has had its eye on the properties for at least two years.
"We had talked to the owners about buying from them directly, but they decided to go out on the open market," Arthur said.
Aeon's financing for the deal involved a complicated mix of sources. Cleveland, Ohio-based Bellwether Enterprise acted as the mortgage lender and Tysons, Virginia-based Freddie Mac provided loan capital, Arthur said.
The portfolio has been split for financing purposes, he said.
Columbia, Maryland-based nonprofit Enterprise Capital is the major equity partner for about two-thirds of the portfolio. Aeon is the managing equity partner for both sides. The St. Paul-based Greater Minnesota Housing Fund's NOAH impact initiative is Aeon's major equity partner for the remaining third. The NOAH Impact Fund is a public-private partnership involving Bremer Bank, Sunrise Banks, Western Bank – A Division of American National Bank, Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, Hennepin County, the McKnight Foundation and Otto Bremer Trust.

Running a global campaign from East to West
By Francesca D'Arcy-Orga in BlogInternational PR
Get the secrets to running an international PR campaign
China is fast becoming one of the most popular places to do business. As the second-largest economy in the world, the country has seen an average growth rate of 9.52% between 1989 and 2019. The technology sector is booming, and so it's not surprising that more clients are asking us for assistance in the region, as well as support with a global campaign.
For example, China is a priority market for our client Everledger. We recently promoted its series A funding announcement, which was led by Tencent, a Chinese multinational conglomerate that, among many things, is one of the world's largest venture capital firms. Headquartered in the UK, but with American and Chinese interests, we had to bridge the gap between East and West in order to execute a truly global campaign.
But entering the Chinese market from a PR point of view isn't as straightforward as replicating what's worked with Western media. So here are four things to keep in mind in your next global campaign:
Facebook? What's Facebook?
With almost 2.5 billion monthly active users as of last year, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Facebook should be a cornerstone of any social media strategy, no matter where you are in the world. But that's not the case when it comes to China, where Facebook, WhatsApp, YouTube and Instagram are all blocked.
But that doesn't mean there's any less appetite for social media platforms. You'll just need to adjust your strategy and get familiar with the local variants such as WeChat, Weibo, QQ, and many more, instead.
Don't rely on English getting you places
Brits are famous for not being able to speak a second language, and sadly, we tend to get by assuming that everyone else will be able to speak a basic level of English. However, if you really want to break into a new market, especially one like China which places a strong emphasis on interpersonal relationships, it's imperative that you do so in the local language. This means both Cantonese and Mandarin, and you should be able to distribute written materials in both Simplified or Traditional Chinese where necessary. Not only is it a sign of respect for the local culture, but it's also common sense.
It's also important that you have a spokesperson who can speak the language, as "face-to-face meetings and interviews are key to engaging the media and developing mutual respect", according to our Chinese-based partner agency, TechWorks.
Get your timing right
It's generally known that the best time to send out a release is between 8-10am, when journalists are planning the stories that they'll cover that day. But if you send a release out at 9am in the UK, that's 5pm in China, and 4am in New York, neither of which are the best times to get a journalist's attention.
First, distribute the release at a time that works for the journalist, not you, even if that means pitching the next morning so it hits their inboxes at the right time. Use an agency that has a presence in the region you're targeting, so you have local support and don't need to be up at unsociable hours to ensure your news is being received.
Generally, journalists want to be the first to break the news in their language, so coverage in an English-speaking publication is unlikely to deter journalists in China from covering the story the next morning.
Finally, the best way of guaranteeing everyone gets access to the news no matter where they are in the world, is to pitch under embargo. This gives journalists time to ask any questions, and write up their pieces in advance. They can then schedule them to be published at a time that suits them and their audience, whether that's the time the embargo lifts, or later in the day.
Also, think about your timing in relation to any local holidays that might impact your coverage, such as Chinese New Year or other public holidays that don't occur in the West.

If you don't have your own PR team in the region, you need a local agency on the ground to support your campaign. Whether it's advising on cultural nuances, the political and economic factors that might impact your strategy, connecting you with key journalists, or translating a press release accurately, having experts who speak the language and understand the culture is key.
Our partners at TechWorks say it best: "A local PR partner with long-term experience in China is best placed to understand local markets and provide the know-how required to get results."

Many doctors would be horrified at the idea of a pregnant woman competing in a triathlon. But that's exactly what Brandi Dion did, just two weeks before she was due to give birth. "It was amazing how good I felt," she says. And she had a beautiful, healthy baby.
Training during pregnancy can be beneficial to both mom and baby.
A triathlon and boot-camp coach, fitness trainer, and co-author of The Pregnant Athlete, Dion has continued her one-to-three-hour daily exercise routines through two pregnancies, with the blessing of her doctor. And many of her pregnant clients maintain intense exercise routines.
Although it's important to recognize changes in your body and adapt, she says, "There are old myths." One is that a mother's exercise will interfere with the baby's growth. In fact, research shows that intense exercise during pregnancy has no effect on the normal development of babies, although they tend to have less body fat. And the mother's exercise improves blood supply to the placenta, which is good for the baby.
Before her first pregnancy, Dion recalls, "I didn't think I would be able to do boot camps or continue to bike and run and race." Although willing to make the sacrifice to have a family, it wasn't an appealing prospect. But then, an enlightened doctor gave her the facts—that she could continue her fitness routine, while keeping her doctor posted on how things were going.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists considers it safe to continue exercise before and during pregnancy, if a woman is healthy, there are no complications, and she feels up to it. Yet, many physicians automatically recommend "taking it easy." Spouses and other family members can be another source of discouragement, often because they are uninformed.
The key, says Dion, is to find a doctor who understands fitness (more likely if he or she is a fitness enthusiast or athlete) and supports your goals. Equally important, disclose fully and in detail what your workouts include, such as how long and how fast you run, how much weight you lift, how often, and any other activities you do. And then, follow your doctor's advice.
"If you want to have kids, start getting into the best shape of your life before you get pregnant," advises Dion. Then, you can maintain your fitness, adapting as needed as the pregnancy progresses. This way, it's easier to stave off cravings for unhealthy foods, to control weight gain, and to get back in shape after having a baby. And developing more muscle control will help with contractions during delivery.
However, exercising while pregnant is not as easy as usual. "Expect everything to be a lot harder," says Dion. Even though you may be going at the same pace, or slower, it will feel as though you are working harder, simply because your body is changing. Heart rate goes up more quickly at first. In later months, joints and ligaments become looser, and there is more pressure on the pelvis, at which time single-leg exercises aren't recommended.
After her second delivery, which occurred one-and-a-half hours after her water broke, Dion was below her pre-pregnancy weight within a month, and was back to training intensely a couple of weeks after that. And she was breastfeeding.
"Eating for two" is a myth. Healthy weight gain is only 25–35 pounds, and a baby in the womb requires only an additional 300 healthy calories daily.
An exercise program should include varying intensities interspersed with weight training. Before getting pregnant, a boot camp is a good way to get started.
When running, pressure on the bladder means more frequent bathroom breaks, but don't let these deter you. Get creative in finding places to stop along your route.
In the later months, an elastic support belt, the kind construction workers use, can take pressure off the lower back. In the front, it should support the bottom of the belly.
Although most types of physical activity are safe to continue, find a substitute for ones where you are likely to lose your balance, fall, or suffer impact injuries, such as contact sports, downhill skiing, scuba diving (because decompression can harm the baby), horseback riding, using a trampoline, or parachuting.

Q: Using a Bluetooth module to communicate with a Smartphone or Tab I am currently trying to build a home automation system that can be controlled by a smartphone using Bluetooth technology. I will be using a MSP430 from TI to receive the commands that will be sent from the smartphone. My main doubts are on the way Bluetooth must be used.
I have read in some posts about the micro controller needing a bluetooth stack for using Bluetooth but on the other hand if you are using a Module such as a RN-42 or HC-06 there is no need for any software programming for this other than the physical connection itself. I am thinking of using a CC2560 as the bluetooth module.So can anyone point me in the right direction as to whether I need to program the MSP for Bluetooth stack or just physically connect the MSP to the module?

A: There are a couple of approaches you can take. Choose one that fits your background better.
1) Use a pre-built module that already includes the Bluetooth stack. These modules (such as the Roving Networks RN-41) provide a simple serial (UART) interface. Roving Networks also defined a simple command interface so the MCU (MSP430) can communicate with the module. No RF experience or Bluetooth experience is required, but you are at the mercy of the pre-defined interface.
This method is strongly recommended for beginners.
2) Build your own module based off TI's CC2560 chip. They provide a reference design, but you would need to get the module certified (expensive)! You would also need to write the Bluetooth stack yourself based on the specification as the chip may not be pre-flashed with any software.
This method is really not a good option. Why reinvent the wheel? Modules with the Bluetooth stack already exist for you to use off-the-shelf.
My suggestion is to go with choice 1. Wire your MSP430 UART lines to the RN-41 and write your UART driver (or use someone else's) and go! Good luck.

Alyssa Holladay (12) has shown remarkable leadership in all sports she takes part in, which has earned her title of Captain of the MSHS Girls' Soccer team. Her goal for this year is to keep the team tight-knit and connected throughout the whole season.
Becca Heiniger
Filed under Features, Showcase, Sports
Alyssa Holladay (12) is Manitou Springs High School's (MSHS) Girls' Soccer Captain, along with Brooklyn Mack (12) and Ava Spangler (11). Holladay started on varsity her freshman year, taking the position of center back. Holladay has grown comfortable with her new position on the field from experience. Finding a voice is typically hard as a freshman, but since then, Holladay has grown into a leader. Her leadership skills have led to her being a captain for the girls' basketball team as well. "I do think that being a captain fits me. I feel very comfortable with responsibility and leadership," Holladay said. Both the teammates and coaches of the soccer team agree that Holladay fits her leadership role as a captain.
To begin practice, the captains lead both JV and varsity players in a warm up. This is a simple tradition that most teams have. The leadership that shows through the captains urges the rest of the players to stick with it as they push themselves. Towards the end of basketball season, soccer and basketball start to overlap each other. Being captain of girl's basketball, Holladay had to finish her basketball season before going into soccer. Missing out on the first week of soccer practices left both Mack and Holladay missing a game. As the basketball season ended, both captains came into practice with complete excitement.
Though Holladay has continuously played on varsity throughout all of high school, she has improved into the player she is now. Holladay has expanded her level of footwork and endurance. Mentally, Holladay has stayed positive and assertive throughout the years. She is considerate of the team and she encourages them to always do their best. Coach Ben Mack said, "She's gotten better and better. Her decision making is really good and her confidence has grown a lot." Holladay has pushed herself to be the best she can, which shows through her leadership on the field.
As Holladay grows in her leadership and soccer skills, so has the team. "Having new players, especially freshman, on varsity is exciting. They add a completely new level to our play and encourage everyone to improve," she said. As a captain, Holladay invites and challenges new players on and off the field, and to see herself grow through all four years has kept her to continue and encourage her teammates as they grow too.
Freshmen joined the team without any former interaction with their teammates, but as the first week progressed, so did the relationships between each player. "Alyssa is great. She stands in the goal during practices and yells at us, which makes us a lot better," said freshman player, Sophie McKeown. "Off the field she is so easy going. I don't think anyone has ever made me laugh harder in my life." Holladay creates new bonds with each player and her character builds each day, bringing new life into the practice.
This year, the team is focused towards being a family and staying connected throughout the whole season. "Anyone leaving [the team] has a huge impact on everyone else. We all love each other," said Holladay. The team is made up of some of Holladay's closest friends, which furthers her excitement for the season. She trusts her team and knows they will be successful as they work hard.
Last season's goalkeeper was a senior, leaving an opening for new goalies. To stay triumphant for the duration of the season, the team will need to shift their play of the game. The coaches, her teammates, and the community of Manitou understand how strong Holladay is. Last year in particular, she performed a quintessential stunt that left a lasting impact on the team. It showed how powerful and obstinate Holladay is. As she was pulling in to head the ball, another player came directly at her, causing Holladay to break her nose. As she was pulled out, she didn't want to escape the game. Her love for the game kept her pushing to stay in, although her nose was broken. "She would run through a brick wall for you, she literally broke her nose last year. She just wants to go back in," said Coach Mack. Holladay stays focused on what is important, her unshakable mentality keeps her going when most would give up.
As Holladay goes into the season, her personality keeps the team entertained as well as focussed. "She brings a really positive vibe, and understands how and when to be serious. She also understands when to be loose and goofy, which earns the respect of her teammates," said Coach Mack. "She's really personable and gets along with the girls." Holladay understands the importance of family within the team and has an amusing spirit that keeps all the players in check.
Holladay puts in a great deal of effort into encourage her team from the start to the finish of the season. As the first games come into play, the team has already bonded into a tight, well working family. Each player that leaves will unquestionably change the team. As the two senior captains leave, there will be a part of the team that will be empty, but it also leaves opportunity for future players to shape the team.

Q: ServiceStack: Dto.ToAbsoluteUri throws exception complaining about AppHost I'm trying to get the AbsoluteUri from a dto object.
As expected, all of these give me the RelativeUri:
dto.ToUrl();
dto.ToGetUrl();
dto.ToRelativeUri("GET");

Naturally I would expect dto.ToAbsoluteUri("GET"); to give me exactly what I want but it throws an exception with message:

ServiceStack: AppHost does not exist or has not been initialized. Make sure you have created an AppHost and started it with 'new AppHost().Init();'  in your Global.asax Application_Start() or alternative Application StartUp

My solution at the moment is to do this:
$"{Client.BaseUri[..^1]}{dto.ToUrl()}";
Note: Client is a JsonServiceClient
I know this is minor and I can easily work around it but shouldn't this work or is there a different way I'm missed?

A: The be able to resolve the Absolute URL, the ToAbsoluteUri() extension method needs to access the AppHost to use any configured Base URL, i.e:
var absoluteUrl = HostContext.ResolveAbsoluteUrl("~/".CombineWith(relativeUrl), req);
return absoluteUrl;

The other extension methods referenced only return the relative URL which doesn't need it.
There's no way for ServiceStack's client libraries to know the Absolute URL is so combining the BasePath with the relative URL extension methods is the correct approach.


Since last December, when Google CEO Sundar Pichai kissed the ring of Chinese leaders at China's World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Google has rapidly expanded its presence in China. SupChina has reported on Google's opening of an AI research center, multiple apps that the company has launched in China along with strategic investments, and a half-billion-dollar investment deal between Google and Chinese ecommerce giant JD.com.
Why have the past eight months seen so much activity? Now we may have an answer.
Back in 2010, Google chose to abandon the censored version of its search engine that it had operated in China since 2006, becoming one of very few foreign companies — and by far the most prominent — to back away from the Chinese market for ethical, rather than business-related, reasons. The Intercept says that two things are responsible for the new strategy change — a growing Chinese market and a changing leadership structure at Google. For instance, the company's co-founder, Sergey Brin, who grew up in the Soviet Union and was among the most sensitive to criticism of Google's censorship pre-2010, is less hands-on now.
Right now, the development is focused on the Android app, with no word of an iOS app or web option for desktop, but given the reach of Android in China, this step would be more a head-and-shoulders plunge than a tiptoe back into the Chinese market. Of the 750 million internet users in China, "researchers estimate that more than 95 percent…use mobile devices to go online, and Android is by far the most popular mobile operating system in the country, with 80 percent of the market share," the Intercept notes.
Will Google search actually return to China?

At the end of a frigid Canadian January, I have come to Ireland for Brigid's Festival of Imbolc, the day that welcomes Spring. Brigid is the one who "breathes life into the mouth of dead winter". In the front garden of my friend, Dolores Whelan, the first thing I see are snowdrops….then one purple crocus, two golden ones.
From a window on the upper floor, Dolores shows me that the Hill of Faughart can be seen, aligned with her home. Birthplace of Saint Brigid, 5th c. Abbess of Kildare, Faughart is ancient in memory, a place where the goddess Brigid was honoured in pre-Christian Ireland. Snow drop and crocus, saint and goddess, growing from this earth.
Brigid's Festival honours both, and in the days that follow the two merge in my awareness, become intertwined, embodied in the fiery women whom I meet: Dolores and the volunteers who planned the events of the festival as well as the presenters, attendees, poets, artists, dancers, singers, writers… each woman aflame.
I listen as they tell their stories, either as a formal part of the festival's program or casually in conversation over coffee or a meal, or in a pause between sessions.
I listen as Sharon Blackie tells the story recounted in her book If Women Rose Rooted (September Publishing 2016). With a PhD in Neuro-science Sharon found herself in a corporate job where her inner self was dying. Through a labyrinthine journey, one she describes as the feminine form of Joseph Campbell's "Hero's Journey", Sharon followed the lure of her heart to the northwest of Scotland and on to Ireland, living on land near the sea where her soul finds a home.
I walk through Una Curley's art installation of her own "Camino Walk", her story of walking away from a life of successfully functioning in a corporate position that left her empty inside. Una chose instead the uncertainty and bliss of life as an artist. Una says the way to begin is to tie a piece of thread to a rusty nail and let the life you have designed, the life that no longer serves your soul, unravel… Part of her work traces the early flax industry of Ireland, rooted in the land, uniting the communities around the flax fields in a common endeavor.
Ann McDonald leads us in sacred movement, in breathing exercises, finding the power in our solar plexus. Deeply grounded, we release a voice that is resonant. Ann creates songs, receives songs that come to her while walking in pilgrimage or while holding sacred space. Her songs at the Ritual for Brigid's Feast at Faughart come from deep within, inviting grace to embrace those present in the Oratory.
Dolores, Una, Kate, Ann and Sharon are women whose lives differ on the outside. Yet I saw in each a life rooted in an inner passion, a deeply feminine connection with the land and a quiet walking away from cultural values that are out of harmony with and therefore destructive of the feminine soul.

Home / ICT / Vodafone TV Advert: Kids Asking Questions
Vodafone promotes its ReConnect programme, which aims to bring talented women back into the workplace after a career break and fight gender inequality, in a new ad, released with the tagline #ConnectedSheCan.
"Why have there been so many male presidents, but so few women?", "Why is it so difficult for mom to get back to work after having kids?", "Why do you think of a pilot of a man and a flight attendant as a woman?", "Why are almost all superheroes men?" are just some of the questions asked by child actors in the 60-second "Raising Voices" spot, launched across Vodafone's markets, which tackles gender stereotypes and highlights that "Big changes can start from little questions." "For kids, gender differences make no difference. Together we can make gender inequality a thing of the past." onscreen lines read at the end of the advert, before the tagline "The future is exciting. Ready?" flashes across the screen.
The commitment to women's empowerment and promoting gender equality is at the very core of Vodafone's business, according to the company, which has also committed to join around 20 other companies in UN Women's Unstereotype Alliance, a global coalition with the common goal to eliminate gender bias and harmful gender stereotypes in advertising.
The Vodafone ReConnect programme is designed to attract talented women across 26 countries who would like to return to work after having left the workplace for several years and are struggling to make the professional connections needed or refresh the skills required, according to Vodafone.

After the proposal comes the next big question, what will our colors be! Choosing the right color selection determines key factors for the entire wedding — floral arrangements, decorations and bridesmaid dresses. As a destination-wedding venue our brides typically draw inspiration for their colors from the beach. Whether a nautical theme or a turquoise takeover the Gulf of Mexico leaves an impression on each bridal party. Here are five Hilton Sandestin signature-wedding colors to keep in mind when choosing yours!
Not all decisions are as simple as black and white, sometimes you have to throw your own pop of personality into the mix. For brides at Hilton Sandestin Beach that spark of color is typically pink. Adding your favorite color to black and white helps keep your reception simple and elegant yet leaves your personal mark on the event. We suggest adding colored elements in subtle places — details on the cake, mixed into the bouquets, centerpieces, bridesmaid dresses and groomsman ties.
One of the top color combinations of 2015, our wedding experts witnessed their fair share of coral and mint bridal parties. Mint is a color that is flattering for most every body type and skin tone. This pastel shade with the emerald, blue-green backdrop of the Gulf creates a picturesque setting.
Taking a page out of the Gulf's book — some brides don't hesitate when choosing turquoise. This rich and vibrant color is perfect for paler skin tones and pairs well with both khaki and black groomsmen suits. With coral detailing in table settings and up lighting the turquoise will pop in a room full of colors.

Q: Vue Js While inside the function I called with Axios get, printing the incoming data into the array Inside the function in the screenshot, I am adding the data from the backend function to the array with axios.get. But when I go outside of axios, the values of the array I print are undefined.
I am getting string value from backend. I want to be able to use it in different methods by returning it. Please help me. I can't find the solution.
getReasonsForWaitingCustomer() {
  this.adimKodlariLastString = "";
  if (this.$route.params.status == "musteri-bekleniyor") {
            axios.get(URL + "xxx/xxx?xxx=xxx)
                .then(response => {
                    for (var i = 0; i < response.data.data.length; i++) {
                        if (this.stepCode.includes(response.data.data[i].adim_kodu) == false) {
                            this.stepCode.push(response.data.data[i].adim_kodu);
                        }
                    }
                    for (var j = 0; j < this.stepCode.length; j++) {
                            this.adimKodlari += this.stepCode[j] + ",";
                        }
                    this.adimKodlariLastString = this.adimKodlari.slice(0, -1);
                    console.log("inAxiosThen",this.adimKodlariLastString);
                })
        }
        console.log("afterAxios",this.adimKodlariLastString);
return "apfapofapkapfka" --> It's working
return this.adimKodlariLastString --> It's not working. I want this to work.
},

In the solution examples I reviewed, the incoming value was used in the html tags. But I want to be able to use incoming value in methods.
When the string values I want to use are in .then(response), I can get them when I press the console.
When I press the console other than .then() I don't get the values.

A: You won't get any data this way because axios calls are asynchronous. The easiest and cleaner way is:
const response = await axios.get('url')
console.log(response.data)
this.adimKodlariLastString = response.data
// and then you could do your logic

Alternatively, to have it working with your code, you could just add:
await

before axios (you could do it with pure Promises but you'll end up getting Promise inside Promise).

A: Current,this is my function's last status. This is working. Return is successfull.
async getReasonsForWaitingCustomer() {
  let adimKodlariLastString = "";
  let stepCode = [];
  let adimKodlari = "";
  if (this.$route.params.status == "xxx") {
            const response = await axios.get(URL + "xxx/xxx");
                    for (var i = 0; i < response.data.data.length; i++) {
                        if (stepCode.includes(response.data.data[i].adim_kodu) == false) {
                            stepCode.push(response.data.data[i].adim_kodu);
                        }
                    }
                    for (var j = 0; j < stepCode.length; j++) {
                            adimKodlari += stepCode[j] + ",";
                        }
                    adimKodlariLastString = adimKodlari.slice(0, -1);
        }
        console.log("adimKodu",adimKodlariLastString);
      return adimKodlariLastString;
},

Promise in console
I looked at their solutions, but I didn't understand anything. In the solutions they manually assigned a value and called the result. I have no idea how to get my incoming data in PromiseResult.

A: Good news. I founded solution of this problem. I hope it will be useful for those who are looking for a solution. As I mentioned, I said that I wanted to use the value that came as a prompt in another function.
I'm successfully called my values in this function
I'm converted this function the async. I brought the first function as await.
Last result in the console

Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse – Review
Is there a song out there more evocative of an era than the doo wop classic "Lollipop"? Not even just its era, any era? Amerie's "1 Thing" brings back all my 2000's nostalgia, A-ha's "Take On Me" is the 80's in a nutshell, but nothing comes close to the initial few claps of the "Lollipop" intro, and as the first utterances of the one-word chorus race through your lug holes, it truly does make you feel like some guy – called "Ted" probably – sitting in a diner sipping on some 'Merican coffee. It's no wonder, then, that so many TV shows, movies and video games use the song so readily as a quick and easy means of setting the scene. Any of the numerous versions will do, Ben Kweller's cover is used in the topic of discussion today, Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse, more specifically the very recent remaster handled by Aspyr which as I quickly discovered is, for all intents and purposes, just the original game developed by Wideload Games back in 2005.
I'm fine with this. I play video games in their original condition whenever possible anyway, at least if it's my first time playing it. There's something fulfilling about experiencing and examining a game in the state it first released, comparing that embryonic entry to its peers and how it stacks up by today's standards. Aspyr did make most of the textures HD in this release (not the HUD, strangely), and they also removed some licenced music because music licencing absolutely sucks balls, but this is Stubbs the Zombie as we all knew and loved, although I can't say that nostalgic fondness carries any weight now I've played it today.
Stubbs the Zombie is quite a unique experience in a way. By 2005 standards, where zombies hadn't hit the cultural oversaturation they did a decade later, a game centered on being the zombie itself was fresh and lively, despite the undead, eponymous Stubbs you control. Moreover, even in today's climate, a game which has you play the villain with the aim of controlling a horde of baddies in an action-y fashion is still fairly idiosyncratic. Games like Overlord and Brutal Legend come to mind when thinking about this style of play and both are fairly contentious titles, both feeling somewhat shallow due to having to essentially juggle two different genres, although Stubbs the Zombie proves even more shallow than the grave you dig out of in the game's introduction.
Describing Stubbs the Zombie's plot is difficult as it doesn't really have one. The game severely lacks any driving force at all, and as we'll discuss shortly the same goes for simple mission objectives too. Stubbs rises from the dead, for some reason, eats a bunch of brains, because zombie of course, and then I really don't know what life course he is on. You find a Marilyn Monroe type character after the tutorial, and it's implied Stubbs finds her so piff he'll destroy cities to attain her love, so I presume that's our goal, although throughout my couple of hours playthrough she is only seen in that fledgling cutscene.
Stubbs the Zombie hopes you like the concept of "being a zombie", because the gameplay is just as braindead as I imagine being a zombie really is. You have a primary swipe for some quick damage, and on enemies with low enough health, you have an "eat brains" button, an action which gets a lot of use. It's no surprise though, as the idea is neat. Eat brains to turn people into zombies. As their slightly less brainless leader, you can march them through the city and wreak havoc upon humanity, whereby they'll attack enemies alongside you and, with any luck, further increase the size of your army.
Plenty of issues exist here, which is a shame as this is clearly a mechanic the developers wanted and (now Aspyr) still wants people to be aware of as a unique selling point. Looking back, I'd definitely say it was the most memorable part about the game's moment to moment gameplay. Unfortunately, to be blunt, it's just oversimplified to the point of tedium. Pressing Y ad infinitum can only be so fun. Along with the slow animation which accompanies the deed, the bodies you vivify behold some woefully dated artificial intelligence. You only have two ways to control your minions: call them to follow you, and push individual zombies in a direction. Both commands are utterly useless. The zombies will loosely follow you anyway, and when an enemy is seen they will make a beeline towards them, like zombies do, therefore both actions serve no real purpose. As a result, the strategy portion of the game feels underdeveloped and automated. You don't really control an army of the dead as much as you influence how big that army is, and even then you're limited in that sense as the enemy forces become stronger whilst your bumbling buddies remain squishy, nucleus-impaired sacks of shit.
This is working under the assumption you can build an army to begin with. Once you meet the militia an hour in, they slaughter zombies quickly and with ease, meaning you're likely going to be a lone wolf anyway, which puts more focus on the game's barebones combat. There are, in theory, several different attacks, but all but one are contained behind damage-based recharge meters, meaning if you want to use them, you need to run up to people and slash them with your primary attack first, which of course therefore means you take loads of damage in your attempt. Making things worse, your primary attack is anaemic, sloppy and unreliable in how much damage it deals. To actually get the recharge for your abilities, you need to eat enemy brains, and sometimes I've gone up to an enemy, wailed on them for a couple of seconds and accidentally killed them in the process, therefore gaining no recharge.
Is it worth it, taking loads of damage in the name of the glorious abilities? No. You have a toot attack, which stuns some enemies close by and is just about as funny as a cheap fart gag can be. Effective, but limited due to its range. You also have two attacks which are essentially the same, one where you toss an internal organ at people mimicking a grenade and another where you bowl your head like a bowling ball whereby it explodes like… a grenade. They're not fun to use, quite frankly, and to make things worse, killing people with them only means you reduce how many enemies there are for you to feed on to recharge your abilities. There is one more move, "hand control", a quick recharge ability which has you rip your arm off and control it with full sentience, looking for a living body to control. It's neat, but again highlights the weak combat, as controlling a police officer or hillbilly equipped with a gun controls like a bad 2005 third person shooter. Weird that, eh?
Shortcomings like these make it sound like the game would be impossibly hard, but the difficulty is actually quite capricious. The first hour is painfully boring, as the hardest enemy you face are officers in riot gear, sturdy but deal next to no damage. Once the militia rear their heads through, the difficulty spikes considerably from room to room, sometimes slumping back into tedium and other times placing you against 10 riflemen with none of your undead cohorts to back you up. The damage you take is inconsistent too, especially against the hicks as their high powered snipers and double barreled shotguns can feel like both peashooters and bazookas. It's both jarring and frustrating, and ultimately reinforces how underdeveloped the core mechanics are.
As I was playing the game, I was in disbelief at how bad it truly was. Could my semi-developed, FIFA-addicted brain really have internally valued this game as something with so much worth , something years later I would constantly bring up as an example of a game that "needed" a version for modern platforms, "le hidden gem" if you will? If I could go back in time with this knowledge, I would force my younger self to apologise for this disgraceful view which only served to instill a sense of nostalgia which, yet again, disappoints me. I'd also demonstrate how playing Overwatch until 6AM before an 8AM A-Level exam isn't wise. Anyway…
There is something captivating about Stubbs the Zombie though, and I think it has to be that 1950's charm. While some tracks were removed in the re-release process, iconic tracks like "Mr. Sandman" and the already mentioned "Lollipop" are here – lesser known covers of course but still good in their own right – although they're incredibly sporadic and used rarely. A film grain effect overlays everything, along with some filters depending on who you are controlling are applied too, which would usually be a root of annoyance, but here feel fitting and in keeping with the style.
Again though, it just further exemplifies the related issues the game has. I really like the renditions of these classic songs and what they bring to the game's atmosphere, but they're barely used. In fact, audio in a general sense is sorely missing as most of the game contains unsettling degrees of dead air, only penetrated by footsteps and brain-munching. This isn't isolated to music either, as even sound effects which blatantly should exist, don't! You drive a tractor, for some reason, a couple of hours in and it makes no noise whatsoever. Awkward is one word to describe it, and I hope "indicative of a lack of budget or time" is the reason behind it rather than intentional laziness.
According to numerous sources, the game totals in a neat 6 to 8 hours, but so much of that time is artificially inflated by the aforementioned difficulty spikes, dragging animations and obtusely open level design. I never picked up on this when I was younger, but this game feels dead, and not in the thematic sense. Levels stretch 3 or 4 times the size they need to be for no good reason. The game doesn't contain any collectibles of any kind, nor any side objectives, so you're left with this big, empty toy box which feels designed for a completely different game. Perhaps one that doubled down on the strategy side to the game, building vaster, more complex armies, fighting more intelligent enemy forces. As is it, the bloated map just increases the length of time it takes you to get to your one, solitary objective.
Of which, might I add, is rarely even conveyed to you. Like I said before, the grander mission statement Stubbs operates by is tenuous anyway, but the game makes no attempt to explain what you are doing from level to level either. Seldom do cutscenes communicate a threat to deal with, and the game doesn't even stretch to a simple text popup to explain where you're stumbling to next. You just kind of shuffle in a direction and hope a door or cutscene appears. In a way, the game truly does authentically make you feel like a lethargic, dopey zombie.
I keep going back to games of my childhood and leaving sorely struck by the effects nostalgia has on the mind. Oblivion's rubbish levelling system escaped me as a kid, as did Grabbed by the Ghoulies' tedious objectives and Bully's sloppy storytelling, but all of these games still carry worth through other means. Stubbs the Zombie is, to my chagrin, so deeply flawed it fails to be worth more than a 15 minute affair with nostalgia. They don't make them like they used to do, and I think I'm fine with that.

Well the Fall TV schedule kicks off tomorrow, but tonight we celebrate last year. The Emmy's are on Fox this year, hosted by Glee's Jane Lynch. Should you care? I think there are some interesting nominations this year and wanted to run down our top 5 picks for the night.
It's Carell's swan song of a year. While he was great, Louis had some of the most emotional, amazing moments on TV last year.
No one, and I mean no one shows more heart and character as a female lead in a show then Poehler does as the infectious Lesley Knope. Edie Falco though, is an awards darling and will most likely take this one home again.
Glee is a damn powerhouse. I've watched it, I don't love it or hate it. It's just kind of soap opera-ey and I want a bit more out of my TV. If Glee didn't exist, I have a feeling Big Bang Theory would win. It is adored by critics and awards shows, but I don't think they'll take it this year. When it comes to well written, watchable , funny shows, Modern Family can't be beat in my book.
I love Jimmy Fallon, never miss SNL, and always watch the Colbert Report. I think Conan is suffering from being on TBS (not in quality, but in viewership) and Maher is a long shot. The Daily Show is always spot on when it comes to political comedy and it is no surprise they revisit this award year in and year out.
While Game of Thrones is the obvious nerd pick, I'd like to see Friday Night Lights snag an award FINALLY for it's final season, but it most likely will not. I have a sneaking suspicion that the ONLY network show in the category will take this one home if they can beat out Mad Men.
So there you have it. We hope you enjoy the Emmy's tonight, I'll be flicking back and forth between it and Sunday Night Football. Coming soon is the download for our TV death watch and daily previews of what is shaping up to be a great fall season of TV. TV is back, and I for one am super excited.
The Borgia name isn't just for Assassin's Creed fans anymore. Find out more about this infamous family by watching the TV show!

Magnetic Retraction of the Gallbladder During NOTES Transvaginal Cholecystectomy in a Porcine Model: A Novel Technique
Introduction: As the advent of the NOTES era dawns, novel techniques for tissue retraction may be necessary to allow for safe surgical procedures to be performed. There have been multiple case reports of magnets being used to help with retraction during NOTES procedures. Most of these reports employ some type of metallic object placed on the outside of the target organ. Given that the gallbladder is a hollow viscus, we chose to attempt to inject the lumen with a liquid magnetorheologic fluid to see if retraction with this technique was possible.
Methods: In a 35-kg Yorkshire female pig, we gained transvaginal access to the peritoneum with a double-channel therapeutic endoscope. The gallbladder was identified, and was grasped with an alligator forceps. It was retracted in the cephalad direction to bring it into close proximity with the abdominal wall. A 14-gauge needle was used to puncture the abdominal wall and gallbladder. 5 cc of Lord MR (magnetorheological) fluid (Lord Corp., Cary, NC) was injected directly into the gallbladder lumen. A Neodymium iron boron (Nd2Fe14B) magnet measuring 3 x 1.5 x 0.75 in was placed on the outside of the abdominal wall. The gallbladder magnetically attached to the peritoneum successfully and remained there for the entire duration of the case.
Results: We employed a Nd2Fe14B magnet with a maximum flux density of 1.27 teslas resulting in a maximum field strength of 40 megagauss-oersteds. Gallbladder retraction with this strength magnet was successful. We were able to easily move the magnet around on the abdominal wall, and the gallbladder moved in concert with it. We were able to successfully dislodge the gallbladder using endoscopic tools or by lifting the magnet away from the abdominal wall. We completed the NOTES transvaginal cholecystectomy in approximately 60 minutes. No further tools were employed to aid in gallbladder retraction throughout the case. Of note, some of the Lord MR fluid leaked out of the puncture site, and this fluid was magnetically attracted to the abdominal wall, making suctioning and irrigation of this fluid quite easy.
Discussion: While the use of intraluminal magnetorheological fluid is certainly a novel technique, questions about toxicity of the substance remain. A review of the MSDS sheet suggests that the substance can cause skin or lung irritation, but instructions on first aid after ingestion recommends that ingestion of water or milk is sufficient, signifying that exposure to the GI tract may be safe. Survival animal studies, as well as further information regarding toxicity would be necessary prior to human implementation of this technique. Also, storage of industrial strength magnets in the operating room environment could be problematic due to the amount of electronic instrumentation. Nevertheless, the use of intraluminal magnetic fluid as an aid to visceral retraction may have some use in NOTES procedures and should be investigated further.
