Let's call her Taylor, O.K? I know that she won't mind because Taylor Swift is her favorite singer. So here she shares with me her experience with the law of attraction. I raise an eyebrow. Sure, I believe that you can attract love and everything you want using that powerful law. I mean everything that you believe is possible.
How many heartbreaks did she have in the 15 years between?
Sorry… Didn't want to hurt you with that question… Here's a Sprite, girl.
"No, thanks. I try to be careful with sugar. You know, when you are getting old?
We are on a bench in an urban park, just in front of the biggest outdoor swimming pool of the place. But Taylor is not looking at those kids laughing and playing tag on the grass: she's looking at me, smiling.
I'm rolling my eyes; I try to look exasperated.
Everything that you think is possible.
"Even through the rain, I kept my faith, the will to follow through". Will Young– Anything is possible.
Yes, this is what Taylor decides to do month after month, year after year. She cherishes her dream. She does her best to keep it alive in her head, in her bed, when she walks outside, when she waits for the bus. Like the rock band Journey would say, she will not stop believing. After all, a lot of women do find their love, no? It's possible. So why not her?
But what is amazing is that things are getting along, slowly in the shadows. I'm suppressed to learn that she once saw the picture of her future boyfriend before. That was 3 years before they met.
Taylor swears that she's not kidding. What happens is that this man is the business partner of her brother-in-law. So she already had a good idea of how he looked like.
"I remember that I said: "he's good-looking". But that's all".
But in a house party, when they finally meet, something special happens. I mean there were fireworks everywhere around.
Cherish your dream. Of course, it doesn't mean that your desire will manifest right away. But if you do your part, something will happen at the right time.
And the right time is not necessarily when you want it to happen.
It's the best time for you.
So there are so many techniques that you can use to make the law of attraction work for you ( to know more about so of those ideas, read the article I can't find a boyfriend -Destroy your doubt) . Since Taylor was a 15 when she started, she used the easiest technique available. In fact, almost all the teenagers use it at least once without even realizing it. Some of them will use it most consistently. This is what Taylor (and I) did back in the days (notice that you can use that technique today. It doesn't matter how old you are).
The next time you go to bed, create a scenario in your head. You are with your man. What do you do? How do you feel? What does he say? Imagine his tone. Maybe that you are giving him a hug: you are such a sweet woman. Create the best, the most memorable movie you can in your head and have a good sleep.
This is the technique I used when I was around 18 years old. Last year, I was cuddling my girlfriend who finally fell asleep in my harms (she needed that moment to relax because he had a rough day at her job).
Watching the end of the movie, I suddenly realized that this moment really looked like the scenario I used to create when I was a teen. No doubt that since the beginning I have the feeling that this lady is the right one for me.
Do not wait to create and re-create your wonderful moment in your head just before you fall asleep. Do not be surprised if you feel happy just thinking going to bed soon.
The French say that the night is a wonderful councilor. Well I can add that this good fellow is a great partner when you need to create your future.
"Oh no… Not that secret thing again… There's only one thing for sure: reality is made of cause and effect. There's nothing else".
So let me describe this phenomenon in a more logical way. In this example, I will show how the image in your head can totally change your life.
Let's say that you see yourself as an employed very soon. Every night you start to imagine getting fired. You create a perfect scenario in your mind. You already know what you will say to your future ex-boss. You play that movie in your head over and over. You will tell him that he's the most incompetent supervisor you ever have met in your life. Yes, everybody in the office think the same. And even his own boss.
Here now you start to think that you will have to be careful with your spending. Look here! You need to change your rubber boots. There's a hole in both of them. But now you change your mind. You don't want to spend. 2 weeks later, you think that, more than never, you need a new hairstyle. But it's expensive. You have to tighten your belt, right? This is how, a month later, you walk in a rainy day with looking miserable in your ragged boots, your feet all wet.
Create an image in your head and, soon or later, you will start to act accordingly to your thoughts. Finally, in some way, you will start to look like the movie in your head; of course, people will response to the vibration you project.
Now, you know why you need to start to create your sweet and pleasant movie in your head.
Go, lady! Be the best director you can.

Writing About Byzantium book
The History of Niketas Choniates
ByLeslie Brubaker, Rhoads Murphey, John Haldon, Theresa Urbainczyk
eBook Published 3 November 2017
Urbainczyk, T. (2017). Writing About Byzantium: The History of Niketas Choniates (1st ed.). Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315184616
Niketas Choniates was in Constantinople when it was burnt and looted by the soldiers of the Fourth Crusade and he wrote a history which has always been the mainstay for anyone wishing to learn about the Comnene dynasty and the Byzantine Empire of the twelfth century. Yet it is a very difficult and puzzling text and, given its significance for the period, is understudied. The author says at the start that he wrote his work hoping that even workers and women would be able to profit from it, yet he wrote those words, and the rest of the history, in a highly convoluted, literary and at times opaque style and language.
This examination is an introduction to the history of Niketas, and to the author's views of why this period saw such catastrophe for the Byzantines. It looks at Niketas' thoughts about history-writing, the emperors, and the Comnene dynasty in particular, about the presence of God in man's affairs, and the historian's attitudes to the women of the imperial family.
The puzzle of the History of Niketas Choniates
'A history for workers and women'
Statements of intent in the preface
The world of Byzantine women
Hellenism and classicism in the History
The influence of the Old Testament
Niketas on the emperors

Blackfield – Blackfield
Album Review by Mark Bayross
Blackfield is the duo of Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson and controversial Israeli singer Aviv Geffen, nephew of Moshe Dayan and the man who has the unfortunate legacy of being the last person to embrace Yitzak Rabin before he was assassinated, making him something of a peace symbol in his homeland.
Sharing a love of classic rock of the late 60s and 70s, the pair met in Tel Aviv in 2001 with the intention of writing an EP together, but their collaboration was such a success that it was upgraded to this self-titled album. Although their sound draws heavily from the prog tendencies of Porcupine Tree, Wilson and Geffen have crafted an album that is varied, intriguing and often powerful.
As first track OPEN MIND kicks of proceeding with a verse drenched in clichéd 60s psychedelia, the omens aren't good, but then a burst of guitar punches its way through the chorus and suddenly we're in business. This is dramatic, tense and can't fail to grab the attention, evoking a sound not far from the dynamism of VAST or Martin Grech.
The title track continues with a strummed guitar and keyboard-driven sound, albeit in a more conventional fashion, while the ghostly strings of GLOW give way to a cathartic finale that only suffers from being over too quickly. Other stand-outs include CLOUDY NOW, by turns haunting and angry, and the impossibly fragile LULLABY, an exercise in contrast if ever there was one – gorgeous strings and piano underpinning a brutal tale of child abuse sung in falsetto.
The production throughout is immaculate (listen to the mellifluous guitar outro on PAIN for example), while the only real mis-step is possibly the dubious use of drum & bass rhythms on SCARS, a move that was no doubt aiming for inspired incongruity, but only succeeds in sounding dated.
The album was originally released in January this year, but it has been re-released on Snapper Music with a second CD containing two more tracks (plus a live version of CLOUDY NOW and the video for BLACKFIELD). This is just as well, as, at 36 minutes, the album as it stood was too short: the abrupt ending of HELLO does make you want to hear more.
In all, BLACKFIELD has been something of discovery. Admittedly, there are plenty of prog rock moments and flashes of AOR harmonics, so it could hardly be called fashionable. Nonetheless, this is haunting and huge-sounding, with moments of real drama. Fans of Pink Floyd, Talk Talk, Sophia or VAST would do well to investigate.

CMS Employment Practice Area Group is pleased to share the 2019 edition of the CMS Guide to Employment Issues in M&A Transactions.
While mergers and acquisitions (M&A) tend to be led by corporate or tax lawyers, dealing effectively with the employment law issues can significantly improve the chances of a successful transfer. The importance of employment law and the types of difficulties that arise depend on the nature of the individual transaction, but a failure to adequately examine the existing rights and obligations between the target company and its staff can result in expensive employment claims, administrative fines and other liabilities.
The employment lawyers on the team must carry out due diligence to identify any potential problems with collective bargaining agreements, misclassification of employees (e.g. as freelance), pension schemes, employee benefits, accrued and as-yet unpaid time off, existing legal claims and potential legal claims. They can also help design layoff and retention strategies, ensure regulatory compliance, harmonize employment practices in the new combined entity and deal with cross-border clashes in employment culture.
This CMS Guide to Employment Issues in M&A Transactions provides a comprehensive overview of the employment law requirements to be taken into account when dealing with an M&A transaction in any one of 31 jurisdictions. Information about cross-border mergers can be found in a separate CMS guide.

"Fusion-defective mutants of mouse hepatitis virus A59 contain a mutati" by James L. Gombold, Susan T. Hingley et al.
Infection of primary mouse glial cell cultures with mouse hepatitis virus strain A59 results in a productive, persistent infection, but without any obvious cytopathic effect. Mutant viruses isolated from infected glial cultures 16 to 18 weeks postinfection replicate with kinetics similar to those of wild-type virus but produce small plaques on fibroblasts and cause only minimal levels of cell-to-cell fusion under conditions in which wild type causes nearly complete cell fusion. However, since extensive fusion is present in mutant-infected cells at late times postinfection, the defect is actually a delay in kinetics rather than an absolute block in activity. Addition of trypsin to mutant-infected fibroblast cultures enhanced cell fusion a small (two- to fivefold) but significant degree, indicating that the defect could be due to a lack of cleavage of the viral spike (fusion) protein. Sequencing of portions of the spike genes of six fusion-defective mutants revealed that all contained the same single nucleotide mutation resulting in a substitution of aspartic acid for histidine in the spike cleavage signal. Mutant virions contained only the 180-kDa form of spike protein, suggesting that this mutation prevented the normal proteolytic cleavage of the 180-kDa protein into the 90-kDa subunits. Examination of revertants of the mutants supports this hypothesis. Acquisition of fusion competence correlates with the replacement of the negatively charged aspartic acid with either the wild-type histidine or a nonpolar amino acid and the restoration of spike protein cleavage. These data confirm and extend previous reports concluding cleavage of S is required for efficient cell-cell fusion by mouse hepatitis virus but not for virus-cell fusion (infectivity).

Q: Getting all objects of model except Let the models class:
class MyModel(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    category = models.CharField(max_length=200)

I want to get all the objects of MyModel except those with a specific category. I'm using this code:
[mm for mm in MyModel.objects.all() if mm.category != u'mycategory']

Is there another solution for this question?

A: Take a look at this documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/queries/#retrieving-specific-objects-with-filters , you want to use an exclude filter.
So somethig like:
objects = MyModel.objects.exclude(category= u'mycategory')

Fandango 13 for Six Percussionists by Michael Burritt.
The percussion sextet Fandango 13 is a re-working of an earlier piece for keyboard percussion quartet and from a larger work commissioned by the West Point Academy titled Four Points West. I had thought for sometime that expanding the instrumentation to include several additional keyboards, hand drums and tom toms would make for a more dynamic piece and could then stand alone outside the context of its original place within a three-movement work.
I think of Fandango 13 as a virtuosic burst of energy from beginning to end. It was premiered by the Eastman Percussion Ensemble at PASIC 2013 and dedicated to those players who brought it to life so brilliantly, Brant Blackard, Chris Jones, Sarah Gartin, Connor Stevens, Sam Um and Andrea Venet.
Watch the Eastman Percussion Ensemble perform Michael Burritt's Fandango 13.


VillageMD introduces a first-of-its-kind primary care-centered operating system that unifies patient data and anticipates their needs while extending care beyond the exam room.
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 18, 2018--VillageMD, a leading national provider of primary care, has launched DocOS™, its purpose-built digital healthcare system, that allows clinicians and patients to engage in patient care free from artificial physical or technical barriers. With this ambient technology, physicians have access to critical patient information and insights that allows them to practice medicine optimally, all without changing their existing EHR.
VillageMD's DocOS™ breaks down information silos with patent-pending technology to extract over 3,700 clinical and financial data elements from dozens of EHR's and practice management systems, over 70 payer claims systems, and 100's of hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and socio-economic data sources across the care continuum. This data is aggregated and analyzed in real-time, where proprietary algorithms perform tasks such as predicting missing diagnoses, analyzing patient schedules for enhanced engagement opportunities, surfacing outstanding care gaps for clinicians and care givers to resolve, and reacting real-time to acute patient illnesses.
DocOS™ is an ecosystem of data, algorithms, and software. It has been built leveraging the best of secure cloud services, well supported open source frameworks, and partnerships with Silicon Valley-backed technology companies. This approach has allowed for the rapid development of advanced data pipelines that connect systems to transmit data in all formats, including API's, HL7, EDI, and custom formats. A sophisticated yet lightweight data normalization capability then allows users and applications to create data schemas based on need, as opposed to pre-defining it within the data store. This, along with an API-led design philosophy, allows for fast, secure connectivity within this operating system that's highly relevant to the clinical, analytical, or workflow need.
VillageMD is a leading provider of healthcare for organizations moving toward a primary care-led, high-value clinical model. The VillageMD solution provides the tools, technology, operations, and staffing support needed for physicians to drive the highest quality clinical results across a population. VillageMD works with physician groups, independent practice associations, and health systems to improve quality, deliver a first-rate patient experience, and lower costs in the communities they serve.

Discussion in 'Trend Spotting' started by Lena, Dec 13, 2003.
In a 1997 New Yorker article, Malcolm Gladwell charted the typical life cycle of a trend. First, ''innovators'' (otherwise known as ''cool people'') pioneer a style. Then it is picked up by ''early adopters'' (or people who hang out with cool people). Next, it passes to the ''early majority'' (people who see cool people across the street), followed by the ''late majority'' (people who see cool people on MTV). Finally, it winds its way to the ''laggards'' (you and me).
This year, however, the cycle was disrupted, if not destroyed entirely. Certain trends were declared both ascendant and passé simultaneously -- often in the same news article. As a result, the formerly linear lifespan of a trend, from hot to not, now resembles something closer to a Mobius strip.
Such was the confusion that Rolling Stone opened its ''Hot List 2003'' with a photo of a trucker hat -- then promptly declared the trend over. ''Hype and backlash are now the exact same thing,'' the author explained, citing the Hilton sisters (''the human equivalent of the trucker hat'') as a further example of this phenomenon.
The advent of the both-hot-and-not trend can be ascribed in part to the cool cycle itself, which by its nature is perpetually speeding up. But there is also a more concrete reason that the cycle overtook itself this year. Fashion companies, like Von Dutch, which makes trucker hats, are petrified that their products will become ubiquitous and thus lose their cachet. So rather than upping production to meet trucker-hat demand, Von Dutch raised prices and held back popular styles to curtail sales. Because of tactics like this, by the time the average consumer gets his or her hands on a trendy item, the innovators have long since moved on, with their media Boswells in tow. Coming soon to a mall near you: hot new trends that are already over.
I think don't follow trends made by main stream Celebs - or all Celebs at all.
LOL. I agree with most things said. That's why when buying clothes, I often spend time thinking "is the trend over yet or will it soon be over". That's why I always end up with "classic" stuff.
I totally agree with that article,.... for example yesterday i went to nordstom and the whole men's department is filled with old fashions that are supposedly hot still. I thought to myself, when is this gonna end... and it kinda made me sick. I try to avoid trends, but now it seems like you can't.
I dont really follow trends, My philosophy is "If you like it, wear it".
I'd rather not be a sheep and do as everyone else does.
Not meaning to offend anyone but thats just my opinion.
havnt we all here at tfs been wanting the trucker hat to die sinse like, 1-2 years ago?
come on now....die already. i mean last year 11 yr old boys in nyc were wearing them . over it..... actually i dont see them anymore.
if they're hype-ing it in stores, it was basically over a long time ago.
people only leik it if it gets hyped, it brainless, killt he trends, kills teh hype creat your own trends.
Who in the world would want to pattern their style after some grubby truck driver anyway?
But people will fall for anything just for the sake of trendiness. Suckers.
Kind of like how Gadzook's is now selling Von Dutch?
Getting off the subject of trucker hats..do you believe that ugg boots are just a trend? I personally wear them for the comfort and the fact that they're great in snow conditions but I recently tried purchasing a pair for my sister and you can't find them anywhere. There seems to be a back order until April 2004. I checked on ebay and people are selling them for around 300-400 a pair. Its funny because I bought mine 2 years ago and use to wear them with everything in the winter and people use to make fun of me, but now everyone's going crazy for them.
im not a fan of ugg boots but there seems to be an abundance of them in the uk, altough to be honest as we dont realy get that much heavy snowfall, then the practicalty value isnt really there, when it is snowy i just tend to wear low heeled leather boots, which i waterproofed.
celebrity "fashion" tends to bore me. i dont spend my time on the red carpet, i go to dark basement clubs and seek out new and interesting things, that is one reason i dislike magazines like elle and vogue (with the exception of italian vogue which i love) they seem to minded towards what soi dissant celebrities are doing, and whan vogue uk tried to go all arty on us possibly in may i think it looked to me like a desperate attempt at name dropping that went badly wrong.
Why would anyone wear trucker hats, anyway? Or any psychedelic trend such as this, for that matter?
NEW YORK—Fashion trends are so over.
So says David Wolfe, creative director of the New York-based Doneger Group fashion forecasting company. Speaking to a group of fashion designers, retailers and manufacturers at the Fashion Institute of Technology recently, the flamboyant Wolfe declared the fashion trend is on life-support and may be pronounced dead within the next few years.
Consumers are tired of being bombarded with seasonal trends that fail to address modern lifestyles and modern realities, he says. And worse, trends are coming so fast and furious that they are actually starting to overlap.
Consumers don't know when one trend is over and another one begins.
He warned the rapt fashion insiders that they must heed his advice: "We have to rethink how we work with trends, if we are going to keep fashion profitable."
To make his point, Wolfe briefly chronicled the history of the trend from the pre-trend 1950s, when designers such as Coco Chanel, Balenciaga and Christian Dior created "attractive clothes that looked new. Fashion was high culture then, not pop culture."
Then in the '60s in swinging London, the baby boom phenomenon gave rise to the "boutique culture." Stores such as Biba and Bus Stop promoted modern trends as well as the notion of retro fashion, says Wolfe. London designer Mary Quant may get props for introducing the most famous trend, the mini, but, says Wolfe, it was Japanese designer Kenzo who gained world attention in the '70s by advancing the notion of the blink-and-you've-missed-it fashion trend.
"Kenzo understood that everything was speeding up. He would promote multiple trends in one season. It could be military, Eskimo, Chinese and so on. The trends came pre-packaged," says Wolfe. For example, his Dutch peasant look was precise and left little room for interpretation.
Kenzo's store Jungle Jap may sound politically incorrect by today's standards, but at the time it was a huge hit, says Wolfe. "He was the most knocked-off designer of the decade."
For the next few decades, fashion designers clamoured to create or copy the look that defined the moment. And fashion-conscious consumers followed slavishly...until now.
They are digging in their high heels and stubbornly refusing to be led around by trends that have become so illusive. They have simply become fatigued, says Wolfe.
"We are in an era of trend overkill," he says. "It is a sickness that's threatening to destroy our industry."
Wolfe says trends are not what they used to be. Consumers are confused by the razzmatazz of unrealistic avant-garde designers who show collections they can't relate to. As well, consumers are unable to distinguish among the circus of multiple trends, so they become frustrated and remove themselves from the game. On the overhead screen beside him, Wolfe projects three outrageous images from the last collections of John Galliano, Christian Dior and Alexander McQueen. "The lunatics have overtaken the asylum," he jokes, underscoring the obvious, that consumers cannot relate to or make sense of such excesses.
Wolfe says fashion has to get real if it is going to survive. "Fashion has slipped down a few notches on people's list of priorities. There are a lot of other things out there that interest us."
Jenifur Jarvis, 33, is a Toronto-based costume designer for film and television, who recalls that her teens and 20s were spent slavishly following the latest fashion trends. "These days I look for classic things that are still young. I look for quality and things that will last. Jarvis cringes to think of the money she spent on clothes that went out of fashion's favour within a few months. "It's hard to justify spending money that way any more."
Fashion trends have always been the preoccupation of the young. Mature women have been complaining for years that they can't find clothes they feel comfortable wearing, as stores fill with belly-revealing T-shirts and skin-tight, low-rise, distressed-to-within-a-thread-of-their-lives jeans.
But the aging baby boomer generation is still imposing its financial clout on the industry. Designers may have been doing themselves a disservice by ignoring this demographic.
Wolfe believes the oppressive trend will be replaced by something gentler and easier to absorb into your lifestyle.
Designers, manufacturers and retailers should look for what Wolfe calls "action points" if they want to appeal to modern consumers.
They've got to look past the trend to see the subtext, he advises. "Look past the specifics to see the fabrics, shapes and colours" that will help people feel comfortable and modern.
Appreciate the generalities, he says. Focus on fashion directions that allow for a variety of interpretations. The popular lady look does not have to be interpreted strictly as a prim Miss Manners style. It can simply mean that genuine glamour and refined femininity is replacing fashion vulgarity.
With class making a comeback, Wolfe recommends looking for old-fashioned colours, antique fabrics and nostalgic details.
Trends will not be associated with a specific item of clothing, such as the peasant blouse, the kitten heel, the low-rise pant or the shrunken blazer. Rather they will have more to do with moods and themes.
Wolfe also advises fashion players to replace the immense profitability associated with rapid-fire fashion trends with "value-added merchandise."
He says consumers are not adverse to spending money on fashion as long as it feels and looks worthy. He notes that fashion customers, particularly the baby boomer demographic, want some bang for their buck.
Paul Pelssers, also a forecaster with the Doneger Group, advises designers and manufactures to investigate fabrics with unconventional weaves and treatments. He also promotes the addition of interesting details and professional finishes. "Add a matching belt to the dress or cardigan," Pelssers advised. "It's all about added value."
Wolfe, who predicts a return to minimalist fashions in high-end fabrics, says these more interesting categories will be "more profitable merchandise to sell than T-shirts. There is no price resistance to things that look like they are worth the money."
He says the day of the $200 cotton T-shirt is coming to an end.
While the maturing consumer appears willing to open their wallets as long as there's value, there is still an enthusiastic demographic of the fashion market that appreciates the quick turnover of trends.
Sajjad Hudda, a vice-president at Clothing For Modern Times, which owns 27 Urban Behavior stores, 15 Costa Blanca stores as well as six outlets across Canada, has built a retailing empire on disposable trends. His stores, which cater to a decidedly junior market, are based on a formula that promises they will be constantly replenished with new trends.
"That can require as many as 20 to 30 new trends every week," he says. Key to the success of this formula is the price point. The average price of an item sold at Urban Behavior stores is $20, says Hudda.
The company's trend forecasters travel the world looking for new styles.
"One week it's the Chanel bouclé jacket, then it's the poncho. By fall, kids will want the motocross jacket. Then, by the fourth quarter, his young consumers are predicted to want trucker wear, the gas station attendant look and security guard shirts. While Hudda and his team struggle to stay ahead of oncoming trends, he acknowledges it's difficult to plan more than three months in advance. "It's completely exhausting," he says.
"As soon as a trend becomes legitimate, no one wants to wear it anymore," he says. "The customer gets bored quickly and there is a cool factor associated with wearing the latest trend. When we're right, we can sell it out in a week. But when we're wrong, we can't give it away."
Curiously, Hudda and his company bucked the branding trend at the height of its popularity. The prices associated with branded merchandise were too high. As well, the preoccupation with brands led to a sameness in the merchandise at retail. Diesel jeans were expensive no matter where you bought them. "We couldn't compete."
But by knowing his customer, most particularly the girl between 15 and 18, Hudda has created a trend monster. "We've spoiled our customers. Now they want something new and fresh every week."
For this reason Hudda agrees retailers like him may have contributed to the death of the fashion trend as we once knew it. And he sees no end in sight. As long as there are fickle girls and boys who want to impress them, there will be inexpensive, frivolous fashion trends.
But for consumers over the age of 18, the new trend is to ignore trends.
I'll beleive it when I see it. I think he's just trying to attract attention, that's all. These people will blurb anything, because if they are wrong - noone will remember it, and if they are right - they'll trumpet it all over when the time comes.
I would love to see the 'end of the trend' but surely its human nature to (a) get bored and want something new; and ( copy each other. Thats the basis of a trend. Thats why designers try & come up with new ones. Don't think it will happen unless we all become suddenly content with what we have & happy to be individualistic. Personally I keep up with the trends to an extent I suppose - its difficult not to when you are seduced by amazing advertising every new season.

Hypertension Diet: High BP Patients Must Know Of This Dangerous Side-Effect Of Herbal Licorice Tea
NDTV Food Desk (with inputs from ANI) | Updated: May 27, 2019 17:19 IST
Licorice root tea may induce high blood pressure in hypertension patients
Licorice or mulethi is widely known for its potential health benefits. An herbal caffeine-free tea made from the woody herb has also become popular around the world, for its claimed digestion-promoting benefits. Licorice coffee has also gained prominence among health freaks. The herb has been believed to have a number of benefits including boosting respiratory system, immunity, digestion and even skin health. However, there may be a downside to consuming herbal licorice tea. A new study has associated the consumption of the supposedly healthy herbal beverage with elevated blood pressure. Researchers arrived at the conclusion after an 84-year-old man was hospitalised after drinking the tea.
However, the researchers said that the side-effect may arise due to excessive consumption of the tea, indicating that consuming it once in a while may not be harmful. But high blood pressure patients or hypertension patients must be cautious about this harmful side effect of licorice tea. "Excessive amounts of some herbal products can have harmful side-effects. Products containing licorice root extract can raise blood pressure, cause water retention and decrease potassium levels if consumed in excess," said, a neurologist Dr Jean-Pierre Falet, in the study published in the Journal of Canadian Medical Association. Potassium is a nutrient that is required by the body to keep levels of blood pressure optimal.
The 84-year-old man reportedly visited the emergency department for a high-blood pressure emergency, which was found to have been induced by consuming homemade tea made from licorice root or mulethi. His blood pressure was found to be severely elevated, and some other symptoms that he was suffering from included headache, light sensitivity, chest pain, fatigue and fluid retention in the calves. After admission to the hospital and treatment, it was found that the patient had a history of high blood pressure. He told physicians that he had been drinking one to two glasses of an herbal concoction made at home from the licorice root extract called "erk sous".
The man was found to have been drinking the tea for two weeks, before he had to be rushed to the hospital due to high blood pressure emergency. Licorice tea is popular in the Middle East and parts of Europe, and erk sous are especially popular in Egypt during Ramadan. "Given Canada's multicultural population, physicians should consider screening for licorice root intake in patients with difficult-to-control hypertension," said Dr Falet.

By analyzing seven-day travel logs from Los Angeles during 2011–2013, we contribute to the understanding of intrapersonal day-to-day travel variability (IDTV) in relation to socio-demographic and land-use characteristics and the implication of travel survey duration for travel parameter estimates. Our main sample included 2,395 person-days from 352 individual participants in 219 households. Our analytical methods included linear regressions and random sampling experiments.
Our Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) regression models revealed that many factors significantly influenced IDTV, such as gender, age, income, and household type. However, the observed socio-demographic and land-use characteristics could only explain a small portion of IDTV. The random sampling experiments enabled us to contrast travel variables measured from the seven-day master sample with those from subsamples of a shorter period (one to six days). The "optimal" duration for a travel survey may depend on the specific travel variables measured, and we provide evidence that studies of transit and non-motorized travel will require longer surveys than studies of car travel.
In conclusion, the conventional one-day approach is likely to produce imprecise parameter estimates due to the intrapersonal day-to-day travel variability. We recommend that transportation professionals and policy makers consider shifting from the conventional one-day approach toward a multi-day approach. Surveys that focus on the modes of walking, biking, and transit should consider data collection for at least seven days.

Musei (Musei in sardo) è un comune italiano di  abitanti della provincia del Sud Sardegna.

Geografia fisica

Territorio
Il centro è disposto nella piana del Cixerri e si colloca lungo la vecchia viabilità tra Iglesias, i centri del basso Campidano e Cagliari, nelle vicinanze del Riu s'Acqua Sassa.

Storia
L'area fu abitata già in epoca nuragica, punica e romana, per la presenza nel territorio di alcune rovine e di siti archeologici.

Nel medioevo appartenne al Giudicato di Cagliari e fece parte della curatoria del Sigerro (Cixerri). Alla caduta del giudicato (1258) passò sotto il dominio dei conti della Gherardesca e poi del comune di Pisa, e successivamente, dal 1324, sotto quello aragonese.

Nel 1336 il re d'Aragona Alfonso IV il Buono lo diede in feudo ad Arnaldo Massa. Nel 1350 passò ai Carroz e da questi ai Cardona, che lo ebbero a titolo di pagamento di un credito. Una discendente dei Cardona, Beatrice, lo vendette all'iglesiente Antonio Serra, ma un figlio di Beatrice lo ricomprò. Passò poi ad Adriana Carbonell e più tardi ad Elena Rossellón: da questa a Monserrato Rossellón, quindi alla Compagnia di Gesù, sotto la cui guida nacque nel XVII secolo l'odierno abitato, e che vi fece costruire la chiesa tardobarocca ed il convento di Sant'Ignazio di Loyola, intorno ai quali si raggrupparono le abitazioni. In quei tempi Musei si chiamava Villa di Prato. I gesuiti restarono nel paese fino al 1773. Ritornato alla Corona, nel 1785 venne dato in feudo ai Bon Crespi di Valdaura, marchesi di Villacidro e Palmas.

Il paese venne riscattato agli ultimi feudatari nel 1839, con l'abolizione del feudalesimo.

Simboli

Il gonfalone è un drappo partito di verde e di giallo.

Monumenti e luoghi d'interesse

Siti archeologici
Musei preserva nuraghi e reperti punici e romani, a testimonianza della fertilità dei terreni irrigati dalle acque del Cixerri e dei suoi affluenti.

Società

Evoluzione demografica

Lingue e dialetti
La variante del sardo parlata a Musei è il campidanese comune.

Avery Healthcare raise £10,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support!
Avery Healthcare Marketing
View All Latest Stories
We are incredibly proud to announce that on Friday 27th September, all of our 56 Avery homes, four Hawthorns Retirement Communities and our Group Support Centre fundraised for Macmillan Cancer Support by hosting their own coffee mornings, and together have raised £10,000! Even though we have constantly increased our fundraising efforts for Macmillan (in 2016 we raised over £6,000, 2017 saw us fundraise over £6,500 and last year we dough-nated £7,800), this is the most Avery have ever raised for the charity, as our fundraising total this year has risen by more than £2000 from last year!
Residents helped our culinary teams to bake a variety of cakes and sweet treats, and our homes welcomed their local community, including friends and relatives to have a sociable morning and raise some money for a worthy cause. Acacia Lodge Care Home in Manchester even had the pleasure of inviting Avery Ambassador Sherrie Hewson to their event.
All of the money raised on the day goes to Macmillan Cancer Support, who ensure that no one has to face cancer alone. Macmillan host a variety of fundraising events throughout the year, which some of our homes also support. Most recently, Deputy Manager Helen Rooke Braved the Shave at Lavender Lodge!
Here are some of the highlights from all our coffee mornings:
Mark Danis, Avery's Commercial Director, and Kate Gilligan, Manager at Hawthorns Care Home, Aldridge, is shown here handing over the official cheque to Lisa-Jane Gooden, Area Fundraising Manager for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Lisa-Jane said "Macmillan are really grateful for the Avery Group raising such an amazing amount for people living with cancer at their World's Biggest Coffee Morning day this year. A big thank you for their efforts – with their support more people living with cancer can be sure of ours."
A huge thank you from all of us at Avery to everyone who baked, ate and supported us to raise so much this year for such a worthy cause. A special congratulations goes to Hawthorns Care Home in Aldridge for raising the most money across all the Avery care homes at their event.

Q: Store multiple values in a session variable Before I ask my question, please consider this scenario: a user on my website has a profileID. There are some pluginID's associated with this profileID.
E.g.: User1 might have 2, 3 and 5 plugins associated with his profile.
When the user logs in, I store the profileID of the user in a session variable cod. ON a certain page, the user tries to edit the plugins associated with his profile. So, on that page, I have to retrieve those pluginID's from the DB.
I have applied this code but this fetches only the maximum pluginID from the DB and not all the pluginID's.
SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand("select plugin_id from profiles_plugins where id=(select id from profiles_plugins where profile_id=" + Convert.ToInt32(Session["cod"]) + ")", con);
SqlDataReader dr1 = cmd1.ExecuteReader();
if (dr1.HasRows)
{
  while (dr1.Read())
  {
    Session["edp1"] = Convert.ToInt32(dr1[0]);
  }
}
dr1.Close();
cmd1.Dispose();

I was trying to figure out how can I store multiple pluginID's in this session variable?
Thanks

A: Read the value to a list or array first and then store the list or array:
using(SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand("select plugin_id from profiles_plugins where id=(select id from profiles_plugins where profile_id=" + Convert.ToInt32(Session["cod"]) + ")", con))
{

    SqlDataReader dr1 = cmd1.ExecuteReader();
    var yourList = new List<int>();
    if (dr1.HasRows)
    {
        while (dr1.Read())
        {
           yourList.Add(Convert.ToInt32(dr1[0]));
        }
    }
    Session["edp1"] = yourList;
    dr1.Close();
}

Also, read Marc Gravell's comment on your question.

A: You can store whatever objects you like under a session key, not only scalar values. So simply define a custom type containing all the values you would like to store, create an instance of this type and put it into the session.

Advice from Women Who Have Excelled in the Profession
Josephine Bahn
The Margaret Brent Award recognizes the women lawyers who have excelled in their field and paved the way to success for other women lawyers.
Harking back to the first female lawyer in America, Margaret Brent (arriving in the colonies in 1638), the American Bar Association's Margaret Brent Award "recognizes and celebrates the accomplishments of women lawyers who have excelled in their field and have paved the way to success for other women lawyers." Despite Margaret Brent's early start, the progress of female attorneys in the United States crawled along for decades. Even now, nearly 400 years later, we continue to see significant "firsts" for women in the law.

The host nation defeated an IBSA world select team, made up of players from Europe, South America, Oceania and Africa.
Around 1,000 people were in attendance at the Saiden Chemical Arena in Saitama, located just outside of Tokyo, to watch the match.
It followed the conclusion of a two-day training camp for women's players at the Nihon University 100th Anniversary Hall in the Japanese capital.
Players from nine countries - hosts Japan plus Argentina, Australia, Austria, the United Kingdom, Germany, Nigeria, Sweden and Zimbabwe - took part in the camp.
Coaches worked on technical and tactical skills during the training sessions.
It was the second international blind football training camp and competition held for women and IBSA claim it marked the latest step in the development of the women's game.
The blind football tournaments at the Paralympic Games are solely for men.
"As women's blind football is now firmly established in several countries worldwide, the IBSA Football Committee is now working on plans to continue developing the women's game, with the possibility of the first official tournaments taking place as early as next year," IBSA said.


The concrete maturity method is a proven strength estimation technique (ASTM C 1074) to determine early age strength. It logs temperature over time and allows this to be used to estimate insitu strength. It is useful to speed up construction.
IntelliRock Temperature Loggers can measure and document the temperature profiles and gradients of in-place concrete. A large number of sensors can be used with a single on-site reader.
Match Temperature Curing is used in combination with Temperature Loggers to maintain water curing bath at the same temperature as a concrete element for early age strength.
The DPM measures relative humidity, air temperature, surface temperature, dew point temperature and the difference between surface and dew point temperatures.Used before application of coatings to metal substrates.

A modern greenhouse needs to satisfy many requirements. A grower's first requirement is often to have an energy-efficient greenhouse. Sustainable cultivation is a development that's here to stay. With the Ultra-Clima, KUBO Group has made advancements towards the greenhouse of the future. It is a greenhouse that combines all the requirements of modern growers in one: higher yields, maximum food safety, minimum energy and water consumption, minimum CO2 emissions and improved returns.
The Ultra-Clima improves your greenhouse climate by offering total control of climate conditions. The greenhouse can, for instance, be vented with both inside and outside air or a combination of the two, more sunlight can enter and CO2 levels are raised significantly. In short, the best growing climate for optimal photosynthesis. The Ultra-Clima guarantees revolutionary higher revenues in comparison with other greenhouses.
The Ultra-Clima concept is based on semi-closed cultivation, using overpressure and meshed air intake and outtake. This results in effective insect deterrence and lower disease levels, which offer the possibility of residue-free cultivation. The result is maximum food safety.
Energy-efficient fans, dehumidification using heated outside air, heating using low-value heat, longer use of energy screens; these are all Ultra-Clima features. Like an important fertiliser, CO2 is vital for optimal crop production. Ultra-Clima utilises this considerably more effectively than conventional greenhouses. This results in significant reductions in energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
Fresh water is becoming a scarce resource. The Ultra-Clima greenhouse offers extremely high water returns. Recycling irrigation water (including fertilisers), and condensation and rainwater collection are essential features of the Ultra-Clima concept. This is an important factor for your company's continuity.
Continuity demands profitability. The Ultra-Clima offers you a wealth of opportunities to increase your returns. With lower input and higher output this concept enables you to achieve higher quality and higher sales prices, resulting in lower costs. Investing in the Ultra-Clima means investing in a sustainable future with higher returns!
With the 'Blue Engineering' concept, KUBO Group aims to lead the way in using the latest technologies and innovations. We aim to put our stamp on global modern greenhouse horticulture. Blue Engineering results in innovations in greenhouses, innovations in greenhouse construction and innovations in greenhouse concepts.
This combination of factors enables much higher returns. Positive experiences have been amassed with the concept on more than 200 hectares (2015) worldwide. The Ultra-Clima has since proven itself in diverse climate conditions and with different crops. Continuous innovation ensures that the concept is always being further perfected.
Ultra-Clima: the incubator for tomorrow's innovations.
All of which makes this the ideal place to create the future. In the Ultra-Clima, we create innovative technologies that we'll roll out across market gardening worldwide. For example, Night Cooling and the Monitoring Platform – our two latest innovations on the path to tomorrow.

NTT DATA announces a new personalised data experience for The 149th Open
Fans of The Open will have access to the "Live Data Stream" and the personalised "My Newsfeed" this year thanks to NTT DATA's technology
1 July 2021 – Today, NTT DATA announced a new personalised data experience for The 149th Open in 2021. Through the use of progressive sports technology and advanced analytics, spectators will have access to a live data stream and a personalised AI-enhanced newsfeed, providing a second screen accompaniment that will enhance their viewing experience.
NTT DATA has worked in partnership with The R&A, organisers of The Open, as a Patron of the event since 2013, leveraging the latest technology innovations to create a data experience for golf fans each year. In 2014, the NTT DATA Wall was launched, displaying detailed analytics from across the course on a huge media installation and ensuring spectators could keep up to date with the latest developments in the action.
In 2020, NTT DATA partnered with The R&A to create The Open For The Ages, a unique virtual event held after coronavirus restrictions meant The Open in 2020 was cancelled. The virtual championship pitted golfing greats from the past 50 years against one another, with the winner decided by the combination of a fan vote and an analysis of all the scorecard and historic data from The Open since 1970.
With the Championship returning this year, the technology behind The NTT DATA Wall will be used to create a new "Data Experience".

How are home prices expected to perform in 2014?
Wheatland Realty Agent Nicole Tudisco discusses the forecast for the 2014 housing market.
On any given day you can read about the housing market and even get completely opposite information. For instance, about 2.5 weeks ago CNN said that home prices jumped 13.6% but the same day the Los Angeles Times said that home price increases are slow. The catch is that both media outlets derived their headlines from the same report. It came down to interpretation of the report which can be confusing to the rest of us.
We need to remember that though the national economy does affect housing prices, real estate is done on a local level. We can see in the next 3 charts the difference a macro level view compares to a micro view. The first image shows the national market by region in a year over year price change format. The second slide breaks it down by state. So, for example, Illinois home prices are up 6.15% regionally but by state it's 4.3%.
Break it down again to the month over month viewpoint rather than year over year and you have an even different picture of .01% change in home prices. Then consider when it comes to selling your home it breaks all the way down to your particular neighborhood. What your neighbors' house sells for in the last 3-6 months will hold the most weight on what your home will sell for.
Overall 2014 is expected to improve over 2013 in general. Some expectations are higher than others. We think that a lot of people who have been under water for a long time will have the ability to move up this year. Last Spring was fantastic and if this Spring is even better, it's a good sign of more stability returning to the market place.
