The Nigerian Army is creating a Cyber Warfare Command comprised of 150 personnel drawn from across the service in order to combat rising cyber insecurity from terrorists, criminal organisations, and other threats.
The creation of the Cyber Warfare Command was ordered by the Chief of Staff of the Nigerian Army, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai as part of the Nigerian military's response to Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari's demand that Nigeria's volatile security situation be quelled as soon as possible.
Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, and is one of the continent's fastest growing economies, but has been tragically plagued over the decades by civil war, sectarian strife, organised crime, endemic corruption, and terrorism – most recently from the brutal and extremist Salafist group Boko Haram.
Vanguard also reports that Lt. Gen. Buratai's decision to create Cyber Warfare Command has been long in gestation, as he first proposed the creation of such an organisation in November 2016 as part of the Nigerian government's response to the threat posed by Boko Haram.
It is believed that the Cyber Warfare Command is being set up with technology and expertise provided by U.S. technology company IBM. According to the Vanguard report, IBM is providing the resources for Cyber Warfare Command to carry out distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks against the online presence of terrorists, criminal groups, and other threats.
Cyber Warfare Command will also be responsible for the defence of Nigerian government and military networks, and support Nigerian field commanders in cyber operations.
It is also believed that the Nigerian military has come to agreements with the United States, United Kingdom, and Russia for the provision of training and other capacity building initiatives for the 150 Nigerian Army personnel that will staff Cyber Warfare Command.
"With the establishment of the Command the fight against terror, insurgency, armed banditry, pipeline vandalism, herdsmen and militia killings would be checkmated since real-time information would be provided to the fighting forces and commanders in the field from the highly sophisticated equipment already procured," the anonymous Nigerian military source added in an interview with Vanguard.


The chief executive of Ignition New Business Solutions, Andy Heap, has resigned from the AXA-owned business.
It is believed Heap left the Lancashire-based broker marketing consultancy last week to work on a new venture.
Axa confirmed his departure and revealed that he has been replaced by Mike Butler, head of commercial marketing at Axa Insurance, who will oversee the business in the interim.
A senior Axa source said he was unaware of any conflict and added that Ignition remained a key part of the business.
Ignition was acquired in November 2007 by Peter Hubbard, Maso's predecessor, through subsidiary Axa Services, to support AXA's broker partners in the small and medium-sized enterprise market. It remained a separate organisation outside AXA's operational control.
After the deal, AXA said it would provide "significant investment to help it grow its state-of-the-art marketing consultancy services, including meeting the needs of new target markets".
The following January, Derek Findlayson, Groupama's UK business development manager, joined Ignition as sales and distribution director to support the expansion of the business.
Last October, Ignition headhunted a team of seven regional development directors to act as marketing managers for brokers after it launched a number of services.
Butler said it was too early to say whether the company would undergo any major changes but that it was "very much business as usual".
Groupama UK business development manager Derek Findlayson is to join Ignition NBS, the AXA-owned marketing consultancy.

Constantinus→
See also Council of Constantinople on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
17436601911 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 7 — Constantinople, Councils of
CONSTANTINOPLE, COUNCILS OF. Of the numerous ecclesiastical councils held at Constantinople the most important are the following:
1. The second ecumenical council, 381, which was in reality only a synod of bishops from Thrace, Asia and Syria, convened by Theodosius with a view to uniting the church upon the basis of the Orthodox faith. No Western bishop was present, nor any Roman legate; from Egypt came only a few bishops, and these tardily. The first president was Meletius of Antioch, whom Rome regarded as schismatic. Yet, despite its sectional character, the council came in time to be regarded as ecumenical alike in the West and in the East.
The council reaffirmed the Nicene faith and denounced all opposing doctrines. The so-called "Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed," which has almost universally been ascribed to this council, is certainly not the Nicene creed nor even a recension of it, but most likely a Jerusalem baptismal formula revised by the interpolation of a few Nicene test-words. More recently its claim to be called "Constantinopolitan" has been challenged. It is not found in the earliest records of the acts of the council, nor was it referred to by the council of Ephesus (431), nor by the "Robber Synod" (449), although these both confirmed the Nicene faith. It also lacks the definiteness one would expect in a creed composed by an anti-Arian, anti-Pneumatomachian council. Harnack (Herzog-Hauck, Realencyklopädie, 3rd ed., s.v. "Konstantinopolit. Symbol.") conjectures that it was ascribed to the council of Constantinople just before the council of Chalcedon in order to prove the orthodoxy of the Fathers of the second ecumenical council. At all events, it became the creed of the universal church, and has been retained without change, save for the addition of filioque.
Of the seven reputed canons of the council only the first four are unquestionably genuine. The fifth and the sixth probably belong to a synod of 382, and the seventh is properly not a canon. The most important enactments of the council were the granting of metropolitan rights to the bishops of Alexandria, Antioch, Thrace, Pontus and Ephesus; and according to Constantinople the place of honour after Rome, against which Rome protested. Not until 150 years later, and then only under compulsion of the emperor Justinian, did Rome acknowledge the ecumenicity of the council, and that merely as regarded its doctrinal decrees.
See Mansi iii. pp. 521-599; Hardouin i. pp. 807-826; Hefele, 2nd ed., ii. pp. 1 sqq. (English translation, ii. pp. 340 sqq.); Hort, Two Dissertations (Cambridge, 1876); and the article Creeds.
2. The council of 553, the fifth ecumenical, grew out of the controversy of the "Three Chapters," an adequate account of which, up to the time of the council, may be found in the articles Justinian and Vigilius. The council convened, in response to the imperial summons, on the 4th of May 553. Of the 165 bishops who subscribed the acts all but the five or six from Egypt were Oriental; the pope, Vigilius, refused to attend (he had made his escape from Constantinople, and from his retreat in Chalcedon sent forth a vain protest against the council). The synod was utterly subservient to the emperor. The "Three Chapters" were condemned, and their authors, long dead, anathematized, without, however, derogating from the authority of the council of Chalcedon, which had given them a clean bill of orthodoxy. Vigilius was excommunicated, and his name erased from the diptychs. The Orthodox faith was setforth in fourteen anathemas. Opinion is divided as to whether Origen was condemned. His name occurs in the eleventh anathema, but some consider it an interpolation; Hefele defends the genuineness of the text, but finds no evidence for a special session against Origen, as some have conjectured.
The council was confirmed by the emperor, and was generally received in the East. Vigilius was soon coerced into submission, but the West repudiated his pusillanimous surrender, and rejected the council. A schism ensued which lasted half a century and was not fully healed until the synod of Aquileia, about 700. But the ecumenicity of the council was generally acknowledged by 680.
See Mansi ix. pp. 24-106, 149-658, 712-730; Hardouin iii. pp. 1-328, 331, 414, 524; Hefele, 2nd ed., ii. pp. 798-924 (English translation, iv. pp. 229-365).
3. The sixth ecumenical council, 680–681, which was convened by the emperor Constantine Pogonatus to terminate the Monothelitic controversy (see Monothelites). All the patriarchates were represented, Constantinople and Antioch by their bishops in person, the others by legates. The number of bishops present varied from 150 to 300. The council approved the first five ecumenical councils and reaffirmed the Nicene and "Niceno-Constantinopolitan" creeds. Monothelitism was unequivocally condemned; Christ was declared to have had "two natural wills and two natural operations, without division, conversion, separation or confusion." Prominent Monothelites, living or dead, were anathematized, in particular Sergius and his successors in the see of Constantinople, the former pope, Honorius, and Macarius, the patriarch of Antioch. An imperial decree confirmed the council, and commanded the acceptance of its doctrines under pain of severe punishment. The Monothelites took fright and fled to Syria, where they gradually formed the sect of the Maronites (q.v.).
The anathematizing of Honorius as heterodox has occasioned no slight embarrassment to the supporters of the doctrine of papal infallibility. It is not within the scope of this article to pass judgment upon the various proposed solutions of the difficulty, e.g. that Honorius was not really a Monothelite; that in acknowledging one will he was not speaking ex cathedra; that, at the time of condemning him, the council was no longer ecumenical; &c. One thing is certain, however, he was anathematized; and the notion of interpolation in the acts of the council (Baronius) may be dismissed as groundless.
See Mansi xi. pp. 190-922; Hardouin iii. pp. 1043-1644; Hefele, 2nd ed. iii. pp. 121-313.
4. The "Quinisext Synod" (692), so-called because it was regarded by the Greeks as supplementing the fifth and sixth ecumenical councils, was held in the dome of the Imperial Palace ("In Trullo," whence the synod is called also "Trullan"). Its work was purely legislative and its decisions were set forth in 102 canons. The sole authoritative standards of discipline were declared to be the "eighty-five apostolic canons," the canons of the first four ecumenical councils and of the synods of Ancyra, Neo-Caesarea, Antioch, Changra, Laodicea, Sardica and Carthage, and the canonical writings of some twelve Fathers,—all canons, synods and Fathers, Eastern with one exception, viz. Cyprian and the synod of Carthage; the bishops of Rome and the occidental synods were utterly ignored.
The canons of the second and fourth ecumenical councils respecting the rank of Constantinople were confirmed; the rank of a see was declared to follow the civil rank of its city; unenthroned bishops were guaranteed against diminution of their rights; metropolitans were forbidden to alienate the property of vacant suffragan sees.
The provisions respecting clerical marriage were avowedly more lenient than the Roman practice. Ordination was denied to any one who after baptism had contracted a second marriage, kept a concubine, or married a widow or a woman of ill-repute. Lectors and cantors might marry after ordination; presbyters, deacons and sub-deacons, if already married, should retain their wives; a bishop, however, while not dissolving his marriage, should keep his wife at a distance, making suitable provision for her. An illegally married cleric could not perform sacerdotal functions. Monks and nuns were to be carefully separated, and were not to leave their houses without permission.
It was forbidden to celebrate baptism or the eucharist in private oratories; neither might laymen give the elements to themselves, nor approach the altar, nor teach. Offerings for the dead were authorized, and the mixed chalice made obligatory. Contrary to the occidental custom, fasting on Saturday was forbidden. The mutilation of the Scriptures and the desecration of sacred places were severely condemned; likewise the use of the lamb as the symbol for Christ (a favourite symbol in the West).
The synod legislated also concerning marriage, bigamy, adultery, rape, abortion, seductive arts and obscenity. The theatre, the circus and gambling were unsparingly denounced, and soothsayers and jugglers, pagan festivals and customs, and pagan oaths were placed under the ban.
The council was confirmed by the emperor and accepted in the East; but the pope protested against various canons, chiefly those respecting the rank of Constantinople, clerical marriage, the Saturday fast, and the use of the symbol of lamb; and refused, despite express imperial command and threat, to accept the "Pseudo-Sexta." So that while the synod adopted a body of legislation that has continued to be authoritative for the Eastern Church, it did so at the cost of aggravating the irritation of the West, and by so much hastening the inevitable rupture of the church.
See Mansi xi. pp. 921-1024; Hardouin iii. pp. 1645-1716; Hefele, 2nd ed., iii. pp. 328-348.
5. The iconoclastic synods of 754 and 815, both of which promulgated harsh decrees against images and neither of which is recognized by the Latin Church, and the synod of 842, which repudiated the synod of 815, approved the second council of Nicaea, and restored the images, are all adequately treated in the article Iconoclasts.
See Mansi xii. pp. 575 sqq., xiii. pp. 210 sqq., xiv. pp. 111 sqq., 787 sqq.; Hardouin iv. pp. 330 sqq., 1045 sqq., 1457 sqq.; Hefele, 2nd ed. iv. pp. 1 sqq., 104 sqq.
6. The synods of 869 and 879, of which the former, regarded by the Latin Church as the eighth ecumenical council, condemned Photius as an usurper and restored Ignatius to the see of Constantinople; the latter, which the Greeks consider to have been the true eighth ecumenical council, held after the death of Ignatius and the reconciliation of Photius with the emperor, repudiated the synod of 869, restored Photius, and condemned all who would. not recognize him. (For further details of these two synods see Photius.)
See Mansi xv. pp. 143-476 et passim, xvi. pp. 1-550, xvii. pp. 66-186, 365-530; Hardouin v. pp. 119-390, 749-1210, et passim, vi. pp. 19-87, 209-334; Hefele, 2nd ed., iv. pp. 228 sqq., 333 sqq., 435 sqq.; Hergenrother, Photius (Regensburg, 1867–1869).

What Is Fig Leaf Oil And How Do You Use It?

Whether you're looking to reduce your food waste in the kitchen or you're looking for a unique last-minute gift for the foodie in your life, creating a fresh batch of infused olive oil may be the simple homemade gift you've been looking for. Infused olive oil is a great way to elevate any meal and add a sense of class to even the simplest of dishes. You may have heard of or tried such renditions as the classic basil-infused olive oil or even mint-infused olive oil, but have you heard of fig leaf olive oil?
This one-of-a-kind oil is great to whip up in the summer months, as most fig varieties are in season, and it's a simple way to utilize the often left-behind fig leaves. The taste is enjoyable as it's both herby and a bit nutty with a slight bitterness, as per All Things Sicillian and More. It is a versatile oil that can go great with many dishes, and it definitely has a spot in your kitchen.
How to cook with fig leaf oil

Fig leaf oil has a variety of uses in the kitchen, from being used as a dressing and dip for bread to deep frying, as per Belzu. If you're looking for savory dinner options, this oil pairs exceptionally well with lighter dishes, such as fish and seafood. Specifically, raw fish is great to drizzle this oil over. Use it on a lighter colored fish, such as Kingfish crudo, to really make the color contrast pop and your taste buds sing, as per All Things Sicilian and More.
If you're looking for a more laid-back snack or starter option, this oil can also be drizzled over anything from fresh cheese, like mozzarella or burrata, to delicately cooked vegetables to soups, like gazpacho. The possibilities are really endless as long as you consider how to properly pair the herby taste with the rest of the dish.
If you have more of a sweet tooth, Chef Gail Simmons created a coconut rice pudding dish topped with fig leaf oil while filming "Top Chef" in London that is close to heavenly. This dish is simple to throw together, and the light nutty flavors pair incredibly together. She also recommends experimenting with adding the oil on top of other desserts, like custards, pastry, and ice cream in her Instagram post.
How fig leaf oil is made
Larisa Stefanuyk/Getty Images
Making fig leaf oil is a relatively simple process that only requires two ingredients: olive oil and fig leaves, according to Eatable's recipe. The ratio is roughly one fig leaf per ⅓ cup of olive oil. The large leaves should be ripped into smaller pieces before beginning, and no part of the stalk should be included.
The first step is to blanch the leaves in scalding water. They will eventually turn a vivid shade of green, meaning they are ready to be strained and set into an ice bath. Once the remaining water is wrung out from the leaves, they're ready to blend. All Things Sicilian and More adds the leaves into a blender along with the olive oil and a bit of salt to taste. After blending, it is recommended to let the oil sit for about an hour so it can infuse for optimal flavor.
After letting it sit, the final mixture can be strained and then refrigerated. While it should be kept in the fridge, it is recommended to bring it to room temperature before using, according to Eatable.
If you don't want to infuse the oil yourself, it's readily available in the U.K. at specialty stores like Belazu. If you're outside the U.K., it's available on Amazon as well.

Q: Run a PApplet in Max/msp I try to get a processing PApplet to be initialized from Max.
I can create the Applet but i can't get it to run.
I can create a java Frame so my guess is that a PApplet should be possible.
Here is what i have know:
public class PAppletInMax extends MaxObject {

    public static class Test {

        Test() {
            // this is to have a message in Max console
            post("construct Test");

            // create the Processing sketch
            MaxTest_01 mt_01 = new MaxTest_01();
            // call main
            // here is where it goes wrong
            //mt_01.main(new String[]{});

            // this crashes max
            //mt_01.runSketch(new String[]{}, mt_01);
            //PApplet.runSketch(new String[]{}, mt_01);
        }

    }

    public PAppletInMax() {

        /*
        // this works
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("FrameDemo");
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
         */
        Test t = new Test();

    }

}

It would be really nice if someone could help. Cause once it works it's so much easier cause OSC won't be needed anymore for communication.

Kendall FD welcomes community to decommission open house for ambulance on Jan. 1
By Tom Rivers, Editor Posted 29 December 2022 at 12:03 pm
KENDALL – The Kendall community is invited to an open house on Sunday at the fire hall to bid farewell to the ambulance at the fire department.
The Kendall FD ran the all-volunteer service since 1968. It announced in October the service would cease at 11:59 p.m. on Dec. 31.
Firefighters will still respond to EMS calls, but transports will be handled by Monroe Ambulance and others in mutual aid.
The open house will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the fire hall, 1879 Kendall Rd. Photos will be on display of ambulances through the years. Eric Maxon, a Kendall firefighter for 41 years and treasurer for the ambulance for 23 years, will give a presentation at noon about the history of the ambulance service in Kendall.
The fire department is the last one in Orleans County operating an all-volunteer ambulance service for free.
He said the training requirements and the transports to Rochester hospitals took more time for the volunteers.
"We've been known for our ambulance service," Maxon said today. "But it's such a burden on volunteers. It's taken a toll on everybody."
The fire department didn't want to continue with the service when it was in doubt there would be a crew to make a timely response.
"We didn't want a call go out and have nobody show up," Maxon said.
The open house and decommissioning on Sunday is a chance for the fire department to thank the community for its support for the past 54 years for the ambulance service.
The department will be selling the ambulance and then acquiring a Tahoe that will function as a fly car for basic life support services.

New 'Star Wars' film promises 'The Rise of Skywalker'
By LINDSEY BAHRApril 12, 2019 GMT

"No one is ever really gone," says the voice of Luke Skywalker in the first teaser trailer for "Star Wars: Episode IX," which audiences finally learned will be called "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" Friday at a fan event in Chicago.
The closely guarded film from director J.J. Abrams will put an end to the Skywalker saga that began over 40 years ago, but even as characters and actors have passed on, the footage shown at Star Wars Celebration suggests that as with all "Star Wars" films, death is just a technicality a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
Mark Hamill's Skywalker may have died at the end of the most recent installment but his voice dominates the teaser trailer, telling someone, possibly Daisy Ridley's Rey, that, "this is your fight now." And audiences got a tantalizing tease from another figure from the past: Emperor Palpatine from the original and prequel trilogies, whose ominous laugh closes out the promotional spot.
Carrie Fisher's Leia Organa is back as well, despite the actress's untimely passing in Dec. 2016, thanks to unused footage from "The Force Awakens" which Abrams was able to craft into its own narrative for this new film.
"You can't just recast and you can't just have her disappear," Abrams said. "The idea of having a CG character wasn't even an option."
He's currently in the process of editing and adding visual effects to the film which will hit theaters on Dec. 20 and said that despite Fisher's death, "We're working with her every day."
"Princess Leia lives in this film in way that is mind-blowing to me," Abrams said.
Abrams was joined on stage at the event by Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy and actors and droids alike including Ridley, Oscar Isaac (Poe), John Boyega (Finn), Kelly Marie Tran (Rose), Joonas Suotamo (Chewbacca), newcomer Naomi Ackie, who plays a character named Jannah, Anthony Daniels (C-3PO) and even Billy Dee Williams, who reprises his role as Lando Calrissian in the new film after decades away.
"How did I find Lando again?" Williams said. "Lando never left me."
"Star Wars" superfan Stephen Colbert moderated the panel, doing his best to get the tight-lipped cast and creators to reveal anything about the film. Although no one cracked under pressure, Abrams did reveal some previously known details, like the fact that "The Rise of Skywalker" will pick up "some time" after the events of "The Last Jedi."
"This is an adventure that the group goes on together," he teased, although he wouldn't reveal whether or not that meant the group on stage or some other combination.
"This movie is about this new generation and what they've inherited, the light and the dark," Abrams added. "As they face this greatest evil, are they prepared?"
Besides Hamill, another person who wasn't in attendance was Kylo Ren actor Adam Driver. Ren is the son of Han Solo and Leia, making him and his mother the only known Skywalkers left.
When prodded about what will happen with the complex relationship between Kylo and Rey, Ridley demurred, "I guess the Kylo and Rey thing, we'll have to see."
She added: "I think I can confirm there are no more semi-naked Kylos." That's a reference to the scenes of a shirtless Driver in "The Last Jedi" that surprised fans.
Although fans are salivating for any morsel of information, the panelists stayed as vague as possible, and kept things light-hearted debating questions like "who's a better pilot: Poe or Han" and even taking a break so that the audience could sing an unprompted Happy Birthday to Ridley, who turned 27 on Wednesday.
Kennedy, quoting George Lucas, said however that "Episode IX" is indeed the third act of a three-act structure.
But, predictably, there are still more questions than answers when it comes to "The Rise of Skywalker," especially what will come after.
The Lucasfilm and Disney collaboration has proved to be a lucrative one since Disney purchased the company in 2012 for $4 billion. Disney's first two "Star Wars" films, "The Force Awakens" and "The Last Jedi" and its spinoffs, "Rogue One" and "Solo," have already grossed more than $4.8 billion at the worldwide box office.
As of now, there is a future for "Star Wars" on the big screen, but details are sparse and dates are non-existent. "The Last Jedi" director Rian Johnson is working on a new "Star Wars" trilogy and "Game of Thrones" showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff are also at work on a "movie series."
Lucasfilm is expanding its small screen universe too beyond "The Clone Wars" with the Jon Favreau-directed series "The Mandalorian," which will be available on Disney's streaming service, DisneyPlus, when it launches on Nov. 12, and there will be a "Rogue One" spinoff series focused on Diego Luna's character Cassian Andor. With the company's acquisition of 21st Century Fox's entertainment properties, too, Lucas' original trilogy and prequels will also be available on the service.
But who's got time to think about the future when there are over two minutes of brand new footage from "The Rise of Skywalker" to dissect?

Judge threatens gag orders, moving Minneapolis officer trials due to public comments on case
Death of George Floyd
Officers in George Floyd case appear in court
The officers involved in the death of George Floyd appeared in court Monday.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The former Minneapolis Police Officers accused of killing George Floyd made court appearances in downtown Minneapolis Monday where a judge set a trial date for next year and warned public officials to stop talking about the case publicly.
The Hennepin County judge made it clear to public officials and family members of the victims and officers during the hearings Monday that he will move the trial out of Hennepin County if they continue to comment on the innocence or guilt of the officers involved in this case.
"From this day forward, everyone has a warning," the judge said, threatening a gag order or a change-in-venue.
The judge warned public officials to stop using "control or influence" and to limit their public comments. He said he "isn't going to be happy," if he hears more publicly.
The judge said he is open to allowing cameras in the courtroom and broadcasting of the trial.
The judge set the trials to begin in March 2021. The next hearings in this case are scheduled for Sept. 11.
Officers involved in George Floyd death make first court appearance
The officers involved in George Floyd's death made their first court appearance Monday.
Kueng intends to plead not guilty
A new court filing from the attorneys of Kueng show that he intends to plead not guilty due to self defense, reasonable force and authorized use of force.
Derek Chauvin was the only one to make his appearance remotely from the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Oak Park Heights, where he's being held on $1 million bail.
The other three men were present in the courtroom.
A few protesters could be seen outside the Hennepin County Public Safety Facility along with members of the international media.
After the hearings, family of George Floyd talked to the media.
"I think it's absolutely hideous that two of them are walking around free and my nephew will never have the chance to be free ever again," said his uncle from South Dakota. "It's sad as hell."
The court proceedings come about a month after 46-year-old Floyd was held down at the neck by Chauvin's knee for more than 7 minutes. Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder among several other charges. The other three face aiding and abetting charges.
Former officers Thomas Lane and J. Alexander Kueng are both out on bail. Tou Thao is still in the Hennepin County Jail.

Q: Will new operators always cost 25,000 renown? Many operators cost 500 renown, but some operators costs 25,000 renown.
Is this permanent or just until they are no longer new?

A: The base operators (FBI SWAT, GSG 9, Spetsnaz, GIGN, SAS), are the ones that cost 500 renown. However, that is only for the first one you buy for an operation team. (E.g. if you buy Ash first for SWAT, she'll cost 500, but the next will be 1000, 1500, and 2000 in whichever order you get them).
New operators (So far: JTF2, Seals, BOPE, SAT, GEO), are the ones that have been released per season in duos (E.g. Frost and Buck, Hibana and Echo) will cost 25,000 renown to purchase. Ubisoft has no intention of this number going down.
Their reasoning being that an average FPS player (including R6) will play 8-10 hours/week, which means it should take between 2-3 weeks to build up the renown and unlock the new operator. In total, about the length of a season and you should easily have both operators, and then the new season will roll out, with 2 new operators and you get to grind for them again.
Your other option is spending 600 credit (About $4 of real money) to immediately unlock one operator.
Your 3rd option is buying the season pass and unlocking all of the operators.
They want people to have the option to play for their operators, or to buy them, whichever you want. Either option is a win for Ubisoft.


Fall hook, line and sinker on Reel Spinner, an online slot game themed around deep sea fishing. Go on a fishing expedition in this underwater adventure and you could reel in the top prize! Get your gear ready and try to find the perfect spot to improve your chances, and you will be one step closer to earning the bragging rights in the fishing community. Can you land the big catch and walk away with the top prizes on Reel Spinner? Take a spin to find out.
Reel Spinner is a Microgaming slot that appeared on desktop, tablet and smartphone in July 2016, with 5x3 reel and 15 fixed paylines in place to help gamers attempt to land massive wins. And while the main game should be quite interesting as well due to nice looking symbols, the Free Spins round is definitely your best chance of landing a bumper payout, offering you a chance to earn 20 free spins at x5 multiplier.
Microgaming have somewhat struggled in the creative department of late and their slots do not usually feature eye-catching visuals, but they have hit the nail on the head with Reel Spinner, introducing a set for attractive game symbols that include fishing boat, compass, boat throttle lever and an assortment of fish species. The musical soundtrack is decent enough, but you will have to crank up the volume in order to hear the tune.
Click on Bet button to open a drop-up menu and select coin size from $0.01, $0.02 and $0.05, as well as number of coins per line (1-15).
The game is played at fixed 15 paylines, meaning that you can stake anywhere from $0.15 to $11.25 per single spin of the reels.
Reel Spinner Logo is Wild and its main role is to substitute for other game symbols, although ti cannot replace the Scatter icon.
Watch out for the handy Scatter symbols which pay in any position. Simply receive 3, 4 or 5 Scatter symbols appear across your reels and it will trigger the Free Spins feature where you can earn up to 20 Free Spins.
Pick A Boat is an exciting feature in the game which will reveal how many Free Spins you have been awarded after you select a boat from the options on your screen.
Tap your reel when playing and you will also uncover your multiplier amount that is applied during the Free Spins feature. You score even more as the Wilds are stacked across the reels during your Free Spins. The Wild can also be used to substitute for all symbols except for the Scatter.
Reel Spinner is yet another Microgaming title that was released simultaneously on desktop and mobile, and while the main window is somewhat different from the desktop version, there are no other major changes.
The video slot looks and plays really well on tablet and smartphone, and a high-quality mobile version is nothing less than what we expected from the highly rated software provider that appears to have weathered the storm and returned to the right track.

In the autumn of 2002 a group of local people came together to take forward the idea of establishing an arts centre in the Chipping Hall in Wotton-under-Edge. A core of interested people formed a steering group (Wotton Arts Project) to develop the plans, and went on to develop a schedule of regular classes and events starting in the autumn of 2003.
In late 2004 Wotton Town Trust (landlords of the Chipping Hall) started a programme of work to upgrade the building. A 'pod' was built into the hall, providing a tea station, lobby and toilets. With some additional funding from Stroud District Council and The Gloucestershire Market Towns Regeneration Forum we were also able to improve the ceiling and lighting, and following a fresh coat of paint, we re-opened the hall in March 2005. We also installed a special system for hanging art works that allows us to mount exhibitions of work quickly and professionally.
In the autumn of 2005 the project succeeded in becoming a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee, known as Wotton Arts Project.


In chronic kidney disease, excretion of potassium (K+) in the urine is impaired. Levels may also rise with ACE inhibitors and ARBs used to treat hypertension or with use of spironolactone. Levels consistently above 6.0 mmol/l are concern and should be managed. Hyperkalemia, especially levels > 6.5 mmol/l, predisposes to cardiac arrythmias.

The most important characteristic of the evaluation of higher education services is its' multidimensionality and the difficulty of weighting indicators/dimensions according to the various needs of different users/beneficiaries. Different categories of stakeholders need specific information to enable informed decision-making processes. Prospective students and their parents might be interested in the global performance of universities in education, employability of graduates from a particular field of study, study conditions etc., thus aiming at choosing a specific supplier for educational services. In order to raise quality and relevance of higher education, an analysis was developed to see the extent to which the acquired knowledge allows the graduates to be employed on the labour market, to develop their own business or to continue higher education studies at the next level. The paper estimate validity of individual constructs forming part of EduQUAL structured questionnaire for its primary data collection. The significant coefficient is Assurance and the remaining 6 predictors are non-significant. The non-significance variable exceeds 0.05, and do not contribute much to the regression model. This means that the Assurance dimension is the main predictor for overall satisfaction of students.

Coleman boys' hoops falls to Montabella in OT
Daily News staff
Published 6:31 pm EST, Saturday, February 16, 2019
COLEMAN — For the second straight day on Saturday, Coleman came up just short against one of the best teams in the conference, losing 76-67 in overtime to visiting Montabella in Mid-State Activities Conference boys' basketball.
The Comets trailed 43-41 going into the fourth quarter but forced overtime at 60-60 after Coleman's Dominic Beauchamp hit a short jumper to tie it with six seconds left in regulation.
The Mustangs, though, outscored the hosts 16-7 in overtime, led by 12 points from Connor Riley, who scored a game-high 37 points for Montabella.
"We played good and gave ourselves a chance to win the game late," said Coleman coach Clark Swerdan, whose team had lost 39-35 at first-place Carson City-Crystal on Friday. "We played two of the top three teams in the conference tough in less than 24 hours. The guys played hard and I'm proud of them."
Connor Arnold had 25 points, six rebounds and five assists for the Comets. Kam DeVrieze tied his career high with 21 points and added seven rebounds, and Tyler Germain added six points, seven assists and five rebounds.
"We just committed too many turnovers and lost the rebounding battle decisively," Swerdan said.
Coleman (8-9, 5-7 MSAC) visits Ashley on Monday.
Montabella also won the junior varsity game in OT, 44-42. Jaden Bovee led Coleman with 14 points.

\section{Introduction}
\label{sec:introduction}

The sequence of Euler up/down numbers $(E_n)_{n\geq0}$ is the sequence with exponential generating series
\begin{equation}
\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{E_n}{n!} x^n = \sec x + \tan x.
\end{equation}
It is referenced as sequence A000111 in~\cite{OEIS} and its first terms are
\[
1, 1, 1, 2, 5, 16, 61, 272, 1385, 7936, 50521, 353792, 2702765,\ldots
\]
The numbers $E_n$ were shown by Andr\'e~\cite{A79} to count up/down permutations on $n$ elements (see Section~\ref{sec:powerof2}).

Knuth and Buckholtz~\cite{KB67} proved that for any integer $q\geq1$, the sequence $(E_n \mod q)_{n\geq 0}$ is ultimately periodic. For any $q \geq 1$ we define :
\begin{itemize}
 \item $s(q)$ to be the minimum number of terms one needs to delete from the sequence $(E_n \mod q)_{n \geq 0}$ to make it periodic ;
 \item $d(q)$ to be the smallest period of the sequence $(E_n \mod q)_{n \geq s(q)}$.
\end{itemize}
For example, the sequence $(E_n \mod 3)$ starts with
\[
1,1,1,2,2,1,1,2,2,1,1,2,2,\ldots
\]
so one might expect to have $s(3)=1$ and $d(3)=4$. Clearly $s(1)=0$ and $d(1)=1$. In the remainder of this paper, we formulate precise conjectures for the values of $s(q)$ and $d(q)$ for any $q\geq2$.

\subsection*{Organisation of the paper}
In Section~\ref{sec:oddprime} we reduce the problem to the case when $q$ is a prime power and we conjecture the values of $s(q)$ and $d(q)$ when $q$ is an odd prime power. In Section~\ref{sec:powerof2} we conjecture the values of $s(q)$ and $d(q)$ when $q$ is a power of $2$, after having introduced the Entringer numbers and a sequence defined by Arnold describing the $2$-adic valuation of the Entringer numbers. In Section~\ref{sec:Arnold}, we provide a simple construction which conjecturally yields the Arnold sequence.

\section{Case when $q$ is not a power of $2$}
\label{sec:oddprime}

The following lemma implies that it suffices to know the values of $s(q)$ and $d(q)$ when $q$ is a prime power in order to know the values of $s(q)$ and $d(q)$ for any $q \geq 2$.

\begin{lem}
Fix $q \geq 2$ and write its prime number decomposition as
\begin{equation}
q=\prod_{i=1}^k p_i^{\alpha_i},
\end{equation}
where $k\geq1$, $p_1,\ldots,p_k$ are distinct prime numbers and $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_k$ are positive integers.
Then
\begin{align}
s(q)&=\max_{1 \leq i \leq k} s(p_i^{\alpha_i}) \\
d(q)&=\lcm (d(p_1^{\alpha_1}),\ldots,d(p_k^{\alpha_k})).
\end{align}
\end{lem}

The proof is elementary and uses the Chinese remainder theorem.

When $q$ is an odd prime power, Knuth and Buckholtz~\cite{KB67} found the following :

\begin{thm}[\cite{KB67}]
\label{thm:KB}
Let $p$ be an odd prime number.
\begin{enumerate}
 \item If $p \equiv 1 \mod 4$, then
 \begin{equation*}
 d(p)=p-1.
 \end{equation*}
 \item If $p \equiv 3 \mod 4$, then
 \begin{equation*}
 d(p)=2p-2.
 \end{equation*}
 \item For any $k\geq1$,
 \begin{equation*}
 s(p^k)\leq k.
 \end{equation*}
 \item For any $k\geq 2$,
 \begin{equation*}
 d(p^k) | p^{k-1} d(p).
 \end{equation*}
\end{enumerate}
\end{thm}

We conjecture the following for the exact values of $s(q)$ and $d(q)$ when $q$ is an odd prime power :

\begin{conj}
\label{conj:oddprime}
Let $p$ be an odd prime number.
\begin{enumerate}
 \item For any $k\geq1$,
 \begin{equation*}
 s(p^k)=k.
 \end{equation*}
 \item For any $k\geq 2$,
 \begin{equation*}
 d(p^k)=p^{k-1} d(p).
 \end{equation*}
\end{enumerate}
\end{conj}
Conjecture~\ref{conj:oddprime} is supported by Mathematica simulations done for all odd prime powers $q<1000$.

\section{Entringer numbers and case when $q$ is a power of $2$}
\label{sec:powerof2}

Formulating a conjecture analogous to Conjecture~\ref{conj:oddprime} for powers of $2$ requires to define, following Arnold~\cite{A91}, a sequence describing the behavior of the $2$-adic valuation of the Entringer numbers.

\subsection{The Seidel-Entringer-Arnold triangle}

The Entringer numbers are a refined version of the Euler numbers, enumerating some subsets of up/down permutations. For any $n\geq0$, a permutation $\sigma\in\mathcal S_n$ is called \emph{up/down} if for any $2\leq i \leq n$, we have $\sigma(i-1)<\sigma(i)$ (resp. $\sigma(i-1)>\sigma(i)$) if $i$ is even (resp. $i$ is odd). Andr\'e~\cite{A79} showed that the number of up/down permutations on $n$ elements is $E_n$. For any $1 \leq i \leq n$, the \emph{Entringer number} $e_{n,i}$ is defined to be the number of up/down permutations $\sigma\in\mathcal S_n$ such that $\sigma(n)=i$. The Entringer numbers are usually displayed in a triangular array called the Seidel-Entringer-Arnold triangle, where the numbers $(e_{n,i})_{1 \leq i\leq n}$ appear from left to right on the $n$-th line (see Figure~\ref{fig:SEAtriangle}).

\begin{figure}[htpb]
\[
\begin{matrix}
&&&&1&&&& \\
&&&&&&&& \\
&&&0&&1&&& \\
&&&&&&&& \\
&&1&&1&&0&& \\
&&&&&&&& \\
&0&&1&&2&&2& \\
&&&&&&&& \\
5&&5&&4&&2&&0 \\
\end{matrix}
\]
\caption{First five lines of the Seidel-Entringer-Arnold triangle.}
\label{fig:SEAtriangle}
\end{figure}

The Entringer numbers can be computed using the following recurrence formula (see for example~\cite{S97}). For any $n\geq2$ and for any $1\leq i \leq n$, we have
\begin{equation}
e_{n,i}=
\begin{cases}
\sum_{j<i} e_{n-1,j} &\text{ if } $n$ \text{ is even} \\
\sum_{j\geq i} e_{n-1,j} &\text{ if } $n$ \text{ is odd}
\end{cases}.
\end{equation}

\subsection{Arnold's sequence}

Replacing each entry of the Seidel-Entringer-Arnold triangle by its $2$-adic valuation, we obtain an infinite triangle denoted by $T$ (see Figure~\ref{fig:2valuationtriangle}).

\begin{figure}[htpb]
\[
\begin{matrix}
&&&&0&&&& \\
&&&&&&&& \\
&&&\infty&&0&&& \\
&&&&&&&& \\
&&0&&0&&\infty&& \\
&&&&&&&& \\
&\infty&&0&&1&&1& \\
&&&&&&&& \\
0&&0&&2&&1&&\infty \\
\end{matrix}
\]
\caption{First five lines of the triangle $T$ of $2$-adic valuations of the Entringer numbers.}
\label{fig:2valuationtriangle}
\end{figure}
We read this triangle $T$ diagonal by diagonal, with diagonals parallel to the left boundary. For any $i\geq1$, denote by $D_i$ the $i$-th diagonal of the triangle $T$ parallel to the left boundary. For example $D_1$ starts with $0,\infty,0,\infty,0,\ldots$. For any $i\geq1$, denote by $m_i$ the minimum entry of diagonal $D_i$. Arnold~\cite{A91} observed that the further away one moves from the left boundary, the higher the $2$-adic valuation of the Entringer numbers becomes. In particular, he observed (without proof) that the sequence $(m_i)_{i\geq1}$ was weakly increasing to infinity. He defined the following sequence : for any $k \geq 1$,
\[
u_k:=\max \left\{i\geq1 | m_i < k \right\}.
\]
In other words, $u_k$ is the number of diagonals containing at least one entry that is not zero modulo $2^k$. The sequence $(u_k)_{k\geq1}$ is referenced as the sequence A108039 in OEIS~\cite{OEIS} and its first few terms are given in Table~\ref{tab:firstterms}.

\begin{table}[htbp]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
  \hline
  $k$  & 1& 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 & 16 & 17 & 18 \\
  \hline
  $u_k$ & 2 & 4 & 4 & 4 & 8 & 8 & 8 & 8 & 10 & 12 & 12 & 16 & 16 & 16 & 16 & 16 & 18 & 20 \\
  \hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{The first few values of $u_k$.}
\label{tab:firstterms}
\end{table}

Note that the first few terms given by Arnold were incorrect, because the entry $4$ appeared four times, whereas it should be appearing only three times. We also remark that we cannot define any sequence analogous to $(u_k)$ when studying the $p$-adic valuations of the Entringer numbers for odd primes $p$. Indeed, the $p$-adic valuation $0$ seems to appear in diagonals of arbitrarily high index.

\subsection{Case when $q$ is a power of $2$}

Using the sequence $(u_k)_{k\geq1}$, we formulate the following conjecture for $s(q)$ and $d(q)$ when $q$ is a power of $2$ :

\begin{conj}
\label{conj:powersoftwo}
For any $k\geq 1$, we have
 \begin{equation}
 s(2^k)=u_k.
 \end{equation}
Furthermore, if $k\geq1$ and $k\neq2$, we have
\begin{equation}
d(2^k)= 2^k.
\end{equation}
Finally, we have $d(4)=2$.
\end{conj}
Numerical simulations performed on Mathematica for $k\leq 12$ support Conjecture~\ref{conj:powersoftwo}.

\section{Construction of Arnold's sequence}
\label{sec:Arnold}

In this section we provide a construction which conjecturally yields Arnold's sequence $(u_k)_{k\geq1}$.

We denote by $\mathbb Z_+$ the set of nonnegative integers and we denote by
\[
S:=\bigsqcup_{d\geq1}\mathbb Z_+^d
\]
the set of all finite sequences of nonnegative integers. We define a map $f:S\rightarrow S$, which maps each $\mathbb Z_+^d$ to $\mathbb Z_+^{2d}$, as follows. Fix $\underline{x}=(x_1,\ldots,x_d)\in S$. If all the $x_i$'s are equal to $x_d$, we set
\[
f(\underline{x})=(x_d,\ldots,x_d,2x_d,\ldots ,2x_d),
\]
where $x_d$ and $2x_d$ both appear $d$ times on the right-hand side.
Otherwise, define
\[
s:=\max \left\{ 1 \leq i \leq d-1 | x_i \neq x_d \right\}
\]
and set
\[
f(\underline{x})=(x_1,\ldots,x_d,x_1+x_d,\ldots,x_{s-1}+x_d,2x_d,\ldots,2x_d),
\]
where $2x_d$ appears $d-s+1$ times on the right-hand side.
For example, we have
\begin{equation}
f((2,4,4,4))=(2,4,4,4,8,8,8,8)
\end{equation}
and
\begin{equation}
f(2,4,4,4,8,8,8,8)=(2,4,4,4,8,8,8,8,10,12,12,16,16,16,16,16).
\end{equation}
By iterating this function $f$ indefinitely, one produces an infinite sequence :

\begin{lem}
Fix $d\geq1$ and $\underline{x}\in\mathbb Z_+^d$. There exists a unique (infinite) sequence $(X_k)_{k\geq 1}$ such that for any $k\geq1$ and for any $n\geq \log_2 (k/d)$, $X_k$ is the $k$-th term of the finite sequence $f^n(\underline{x})$.
\end{lem}

This infinite sequence is called the \emph{$f$-transform} of $\underline{x}$. The lemma follows from the observation that for any $\ell\geq1$ and for any $\underline{y}\in \mathbb Z_+^\ell$, $\underline{y}$ and $f(\underline{y})$ have the same first $\ell$ terms.

We can now formulate a conjecture about the construction of the sequence $(u_k)_{k\geq1}$ :
\begin{conj}
\label{conj:Arnold}
Arnold's sequence $(u_k)_{k\geq1}$ is the $f$-transform of the quadruple $(2,4,4,4)$.
\end{conj}
Conjecture~\ref{conj:Arnold} is supported by the estimation on Mathematica of $u_k$ for every $k\leq 512$.

A  Méhely patkósdenevér (Rhinolophus mehelyi) az emlősök (Mammalia) osztályának a denevérek (Chiroptera) rendjébe, a kis denevérek (Microchiroptera) alrendjébe,  ezen belül a patkósdenevérek (Rhinolophidae) családjába tartozó faj.

Nevét a magyar Méhely Lajos zoológus tiszteletére kapta.

Elterjedése
Sok helyen megtalálható, Romániában a Duna környékén, Franciaország-, Spanyolország déli részén, Olaszország délkeleti részén, Bulgária keleti részén, valamint Horvátország, Korzika, Szicília, Szardínia, Görögország, Kis-Ázsia, Irán, Kaukázus és a Dinári-hegység, de reliktum faj, viszonylag elszigetelt állományai ismertek.

Magyarországon nem tudunk előfordulásáról, de nem zárható ki jelenléte a déli vidékről, különösen a bánsági barlangokból.

Életmódja
Melegkedvelő, kolóniái télen és nyáron is kizárólag karsztvidéki barlangokban, általában 700 méter tengerszint feletti magasság alatt, vizek közelében találhatóak meg.

Gyakran más patkósdenevérek, és simaorrú denevérek társaságában fordul elő. Alvás közben szabadon függeszkedik, társaival soha nem érintkezik, testét teljesen betakarja szárnyaival.
Vadászni elsősorban nyílt területeken szeret. Vizek-, pázsitok-, legelők-, sztyeppék felett, de fák, bokrok között is lassan, de nagyon ügyesen repül.

Túlnyomórészt éjszakai lepkéket eszik, de ez szezonálisan változhat, más repülő rovarokkal kiegészítve.

A legmagasabb feljegyzett életkor 12 év.

Ökológiájáról nem sokat tudunk, de vélhetően nem vonul nagy távolságokra. A legnagyobb lemért megtett távolsága 90 km volt.

Megjelenése

Testhossza 55-64 mm, farokhossza 24-29 mm, alkarhossza 50-55 mm, fülhossza 18-23 mm, testsúlya 10-18 g.
Ultrahangja állandó frekvenciájú, tartománya 104–111 kHz.
Közeli rokonságban áll a kereknyergű patkósdenevérrel, de jóval nagyobb és testesebb annál.
Bundája sűrű, többféle árnyalatban előforduló barna vagy szürkésbarna, a hasi oldal világos, szinte fehér színű.  Felnőtt egyedeknél a fülek tövénél  és a szemek körül a szőr színe sötétbarna. A speciális orrfüggelékénél a nyereg lekerekített, felső karéja csak kicsivel hosszabb, mint az alsó, a lándzsa hirtelen elkeskenyedik, majd egy vékony nyúlványban ér végét. A patkó széles, hússzínű. A vitorla és a fül barnásszürke.  A szárnyak szélesek, kerek végűek. A negyedik ujj második ujjperce, az első ujjpercnél kétszer hosszabb. Fogazata erőteljes.

Szaporodása
Egyetlen utódját július második felében hozza a világra.

Védelme
Állományuk mindenhol egyre csökken, a zavarás, az élőhelyének beszűkülése  és a gyűjtésük miatt. Számos Európai országban kipusztultak. Védelmükre rendeletekben korlátozzák az általuk szálláshelyül használt barlangok látogatását, valamint a környéken zavarólag ható tevékenységeket.

Rendeletek
Nemzetközi szabályozás: Bern (App. II), Bonn (App. II) EU Élőhely és Fajvédelmi direktíva (Ann. II & IV.)

Hazai szabályozás:
 13/2001. (V. 9.) KöM rendelet 8. melléklete szerint: Az Európai Közösségben természetvédelmi szempontból jelentős faj

ASC Coding Guidance: 2021 CPT Updates and Quick Tips
Sherri Stinnett July 15, 2021 2 Min Read
Clinical Productivity, Health IT, Ambulatory Surgery Centers
It was a busy first half of the year. The SIS Revenue Cycle Services team has been hard at work ensuring our clients receive their correct payments in a timely manner. Critical to our success is the proper coding of procedures.
In this blog, I am highlighting a couple of noteworthy updates made by the American Medical Association (AMA) to CPT codes and documentation rules for 2021 that you may have missed. I'll then share quick tips about the continued importance of documenting excision and repair sizes.
Limited Vs. Extensive Arthroscopic Shoulder Debridement
In 2021, the AMA updated the definition of limited (CPT 29822) and extensive (CPT 29823) arthroscopic shoulder debridement to include details about the documentation requirements of limited debridement compared to extensive debridement.
The revised definitions are as follows:
CPT 29822 — Arthroscopy, surgical; debridement, limited, 1 or 2 discrete structures (e.g., humeral bone, humeral articular cartilage, glenoid bone, glenoid articular cartilage, biceps tendon, biceps anchor complex, labrum, articular capsule, articular side of the rotator cuff, bursal side of the rotator cuff, subacromial bursa, foreign body(ies))
CPT 29823 — Arthroscopy, surgical; debridement, extended, 3 or more discrete structures (e.g., humeral bone, humeral articular cartilage, glenoid bone, glenoid articular cartilage, biceps tendon, biceps anchor complex, labrum, articular capsule, articular side of the rotator cuff, bursal side of the rotator cuff, subacromial bursa, foreign body(ies))
The previous code descriptions were vague and left a lot to interpretation:
CPT 29822 — Arthroscopy, shoulder, surgical; debridement, limited
CPT 29823 — Arthroscopy, shoulder, surgical; debridement, extensive
What contributed to the confusion around these codes is that the guidance from the AMA and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) was that CPT 29822 included debridement of soft or hard tissue in a single area of the shoulder and CPT 29823 included debridement of multiple soft structures, multiple hard structures, or a combination of both. Physicians would often say they extensively debrided the labrum or the rotator cuff and believe this was considered an extensive debridement.
Arthroscopic Loose Body Removal
The AMA also added coding guidance to its arthroscopic subsection guidelines in the 2021 CPT manual that addressed separate reporting of arthroscopic loose body removal. This guidance applies to all joints and associated loose body removal codes: CPT 29819, CPT 29834, CPT 29861, CPT 29874, CPT 29894, and CPT 29904.
Here is the CPT subsection guideline:
Arthroscopic removal of loose body(ies) or foreign body(ies) (i.e. 29819, 29834, 29861, 29874, 29894, 29904) may be reported only when the loose body(ies) or foreign body(ies) is equal to or larger than the diameter of the arthroscopic cannula(s) used for the specific procedure – and can only be removed through a cannula larger than that used for the specific procedure or through a separate incision or through a portal that has been enlarged to allow removal of the loose or foreign body(ies).
To properly report the procedure, it is essential to document the details of the work performed to remove the loose/foreign body based upon these guidelines.
Excision and Repair Sizes
Finally, we find that reviewing the rules concerning documenting excision and repair sizes is always worthwhile, as documenting these sizes is often essential to getting paid and avoiding denials.
Numerous procedures require documentation of size. They include the following:
In the integumentary system:
The size of any lesion excision must include the size of the lesion.
The size of any repair, adjacent tissue transfer, flap, or graft must be documented.
In the musculoskeletal system:
The size of any tumor excised, as well as the deepest tissue dissected for the tumor (e.g. subcutaneous, subfascial, intramuscular) must be documented.
In the urinary system:
The size of tumors excised or fulgurated must be documented.
In cystourethroscopy with litholapaxy, the size of the bladder calculus must be documented.

City says roundabouts offer safer alternative to four way intersections
3 years 1 month 4 days ago Monday, June 13 2016 Jun 13, 2016 Monday, June 13, 2016 9:43:00 PM CDT June 13, 2016 in News
By: Jasmine Lee, KOMU 8 Reporter
COLUMBIA - Roundabouts offer a safer alternative, with fewer accidents than a traditional four way intersection, according to Columbia city traffic engineers.
The Federal Highway Patrol estimates 2.5 million intersection accidents happen every year in the nation.
Richard Stone, the engineering manager for Columbia Public Works, said accidents happen at traditional four way intersections more often because there are more conflict points.
"Anytime where basically either a vehicle or pedestrian will cross the path of another vehicle or pedestrian, that's a potential location where a collision is going to occur," Stone said.
Roundabouts have fewer conflict points than the standard "t-type", "cross-type" intersections, he said.
"This reduces the number of accidents because people are usually going at a slower speed and it provides a cushion for error," Stone said.
He said designing intersections is based on an engineering formula consisting of budget, traffic patterns and what will be needed in the future.
"Volume is an important issue," Stone said. "Typically, if there is an issue with collisions, it's handled separately, but safety is a problem we address greatly."
Stone said, if a particular intersection in Columbia is the site of numerous collisions, Stone and his team looks at the intersection's engineering formula again.
These intersections in Columbia see the most accidents, according to Curtis Perkins, a Columbia police sergeant:
Stadium and Worley
Rangeline at I-70
Bernadette and Stadium
U.S. 63 and I-70 connector
These are the five busiest intersections in Columbia, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation:
Stadium and Providence
Providence and Nifong
Route PP (Clark) and U.S. 63
Stadium and Broadway
Stadium and Bernadette
Leah Livingtston, who lives in Columbia, has been in accidents at intersections. However, she thinks the intersections are not to blame for the accidents.
"A lot of the problem may just be distracted driving and not the engineering there," Livingston said.
She said she likes roundabouts because she thinks the traffic flows better and quicker.

         UNION ALL
        SELECT DISTINCT Country, Region, City
          FROM Employees) AS D
GROUP BY D.Country, D.Region, D.City
HAVING COUNT(*) = 2;

So can we say that any record which exists in the result of this query also exists in the Intersect set between "Customers & Employees" tables AND any record that exists in Intersect set between "Customers & Employees" tables will be in the result of this query too?

A:
So is it right to say any record in result of this query is in
  "Intersect" set between "Customers & Employees" "AND" any record that
  exist in "Intersect" set between "Customers & Employees" is in result
  of this query too?

YES.
... Yes, but it won't be as efficient because you are filtering out duplicates three times instead of once. In your query you're

*

*Using DISTINCT to pull unique records from employees

*Using DISTINCT to pull unique records from customers

*Combining both queries using UNION ALL

*Using GROUP BY in your outer query to to filter the records you retrieved in steps 1,2 and 3.

Using INTERSECT will return identical results but more efficiently. To see for yourself you can create the sample data below and run both queries:
use tempdb
go
if object_id('dbo.customers') is not null drop table dbo.customers;
if object_id('dbo.employees') is not null drop table dbo.employees;

create table dbo.customers
(
  customerId int identity,
  country    varchar(50),
  region     varchar(50),
  city       varchar(100)
);

create table dbo.employees
(
  employeeId int identity,
  country    varchar(50),
  region     varchar(50),
  city       varchar(100)
);

insert dbo.customers(country, region, city)
values ('us', 'N/E', 'New York'), ('us', 'N/W', 'Seattle'),('us', 'Midwest', 'Chicago');
insert dbo.employees
values ('us', 'S/E', 'Miami'), ('us', 'N/W', 'Portland'),('us', 'Midwest', 'Chicago');

Run these queries:
SELECT D.Country, D.Region, D.City
FROM
(
  SELECT DISTINCT Country, Region, City
  FROM Customers
  UNION ALL
  SELECT DISTINCT Country, Region, City
  FROM Employees
) AS D
GROUP BY D.Country, D.Region, D.City
HAVING COUNT(*) = 2;

SELECT Country, Region, City
FROM dbo.customers
INTERSECT
SELECT Country, Region, City
FROM dbo.employees;

Results:
Country     Region     City
----------- ---------- ----------
us          Midwest    Chicago

Country     Region     City
----------- ---------- ----------
us          Midwest    Chicago

If using INTERSECT is not an option OR you want a faster query you could improve the query you posted a couple different ways, such as:
Option 1: let GROUP BY handle ALL the de-duplication like this:
This is the same as what you posted but without the DISTINCTS
SELECT D.Country, D.Region, D.City
FROM
(
  SELECT Country, Region, City
  FROM Customers
  UNION ALL
  SELECT Country, Region, City
  FROM Employees
) AS D
GROUP BY D.Country, D.Region, D.City
HAVING COUNT(*) = 2;

Option 2: Use ROW_NUMBER
This would be my preference and will likely be most efficient
SELECT Country, Region, City
FROM
(
  SELECT
    rn = row_number() over (partition by D.Country, D.Region, D.City order by (SELECT null)),
    D.Country, D.Region, D.City
  FROM
  (
    SELECT Country, Region, City
    FROM Customers
    UNION ALL
    SELECT Country, Region, City
    FROM Employees
  ) AS D
) uniquify
WHERE rn = 2;


The article deals with the problem-based learning (PBL) that combines theoretical knowledge and practice in educational process. PBL is an effective learning method through which the students become responsible and initiative. PBL main goals, principles and steps of implementation are observed in the article. PBL is a constructive, self-directed, collaborative and contextual process and has the potential to prepare students more effectively for future learning and profession. The main objectives of PBL are described in the article: constructing an extensive and flexible knowledge base; developing effective problem-solving abilities; becoming effective collaborators; being motivated to learn, work and research. It is cleared up that PBL focuses on practical learning where students solve real life badly structured problems. It is shown that the educational process is organized around the interdisciplinary problems and it can help students to learn integrally. The participants of problem-based learning process have to plan, monitor and evaluate the learning processactively, interprite personally their previous knowledge and experience and after their self-study and mutual interaction within the group, they are able to construct and reconstruct their knowledge networks. The author states that implementation of PBL in educational process gives students a sense of ownership over their learning and empowers participants with valuable skills that motivate students to learn and ability to achieve good results.The main ways of imlementation of PBL in Ukrainian heigher educational institutions and some recommendations are given in the article.

1, 2, 3 - Sing With Me!
by Mary Lee Sunseri
Winner of the Parent's Place Favorite Songs, this recording offers 37 classic children's songs for your little one to laugh, sing, and play along with. The songs come across very authentic and unassuming through Mary Lee's beautiful voice. Her instruments include a guitar, recorder, and tambourine. This music is perfect for play time, whether at home, day care, or the car. If your little one can sing and clap their hands, they will have loads of fun!
Age: 2 Year-olds | Title: 1, 2, 3 - Sing With Me! | Artist: Mary Lee Sunseri | Label: Mary Lee Music
Why we chose this music
Mary Lee's voice is absolutely endearing and welcoming, and you can hear her having fun with each song and even lightly laughing while singing on some tracks. She sings softy when singing about the Itsy Bitsy Spider, then asserts herself louder when singing about the 'big strong spider' climbing the water spout. Using a similar tactic, she slows down the tempo for a yellow light in I Have a Little Bicycle, and stops the song for the red light. She also slows the tempo down in the final verse of the a capella song Hurry Hurry in order to match the words, "Slowly slowly, drive to the station now that fire is out." Boogy Woogy Piggy is sung with sass, and Mary Lee actually 'rrrrrroar's with the veggie-eating dinosaurs in Five Dinosaurs! Row Your Boat and You Are Special are both sung in rounds, while You Are Special can easily be adapted to include your little one's name. Oh Mr. Sun is the only song with backup singers, who really bring it to life. Mary Lee's voice is usually accented by her clever guitar playing and occasional use of the tambourine and recorder.
This collection of classic children's songs lends itself to interaction and stimulation. You can teach your little one to mime the motions in Brush Your Teeth, create new ways to show that 'you're happy and you know it', find your head, shoulders, knees and toes in English and Spanish in Head & Shoulders, sing about all the colors of the rainbow in Red and Yellow, or add in the animal sounds in Barnyard Son; "I'm a cow, you're a cow, we are cows all, and if you don't believe us, we'll give our cow a call." Listeners also get to be a cat, donkey, duck, and sheep. Your child may marvel at the new sounds of a foreign language and soothing beat in the Bengali Infant Massage Chant. Your child may ask what they are saying, but you can help them expand their thinking by responding with, "When you don't understand the words, ask yourself what the music makes you feel." This helps your little one make sensory connections, associating music with emotions. One emotion sure to be engaged in the CD at some point is humor; for instance, In I'm Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee a child goes from being excited to bring home a bee, to getting stung and deciding to squish it instead!
My two-year-old friend, Kyle, enjoyed singing and humming along to most of this CD, since he already knew almost all of the songs. Kyle's favorite song was If All the Raindrops... because he likes to sing the "ah ah ah" part at the top of his lungs with his head thrown back, tongue hanging out as far as it goes, and mouth wide open; "If all the sunbeams were jelly beans and ice cream, oh what a sun that would be, I'd stand outside with my mouth open wide, ah ah ah ah ah." He always tries to get me to do this with him, but the one time I gave in, his mom came in the room and almost fell over laughing. I have not been able to live it down since. I will have to let Kyle lead all mouth-agape sounds from now on.
