Tajik Security Chief Visits Afghanistan To Discuss Regional Issues
By RFE/RL's Tajik Service
The head of Afghanistan's High Council for National Reconciliation, Abdullah Abdullah (right), meets with Saimumin Yatimov, the head of Tajikistan's State Committee for National Security, in Kabul.
The head of Tajikistan's State Committee for National Security, Saimumin Yatimov, has discussed regional issues and bilateral cooperation with his Afghan counterpart in Kabul.
The head of Afghanistan's High Council for National Reconciliation, Abdullah Abdullah, wrote on Facebook on February 14 that he met with Yatimov and discussed ongoing intra-Afghan peace talks in Qatar's capital, Doha, bilateral security cooperation, and the situation along the Afghan-Tajik border.
Abdullah's aide, Mujibrahman Rahimi, wrote on Facebook that during the Abdullah-Yatimov talks, the two sides discussed the regional implications of the situation in Afghanistan and joint efforts against terrorism and extremism.
"Authorities in Central Asia, including Tajikistan, are concerned about the unclarity in the ongoing Afghan peace talks, the continuation of violence in Afghanistan, the activation of terrorist groups in Afghanistan's north, and the growing illegal drugs smuggling via the Afghan-Tajik border," Rahimi wrote.

Numerous clashes between Tajik border guards and Afghan drug traffickers have been reported by the media in both countries in recent years.
This is Yatimov's second trip to Kabul since early September. Yatimov visited Kabul on September 9-11 last year.
On the eve of Yatimov's visit to Kabul, Tajik President Emomali Rahmon and his Afghan counterpart, Ashraf Ghani, discussed regional issues and bilateral ties by telephone, the Tajik president's press service said on February 15.
The Tajik-Afghan border is more than 1,340 kilometers long. Illegal drugs, mainly opium, transit from Afghanistan to Russia and further to Europe via Tajikistan and other Central Asian countries.

Home Research & Investigation Terrorism Linda Sarsour: An Enemy Within
Linda Sarsour: An Enemy Within
I have repeatedly said in the past that being a Muslim and being American are incompatible. A Muslim is an Ummah-ist. His/her loyalty, first and above all, is to Islamic world rule and not to the country where he/she resides. By allowing Muslims to immigrate to the West, we are literary inviting the biggest enemy of mankind into our homes. Because, Muslims do not assimilate, they come here to make Islam the law of the land.
Attention seeker and jihadist Linda Sarsour, an American-born Arab native, is calling to wage Jihad, a terrorist threat against the President of the United States and the White House staff. In reality, Sarsour has declared jihad (holy war) on the United States Government and its people.
Question…Where is the Secret Service? Where is the FBI? Why is this radical Muslim woman still free to walk? Why isn't she under investigation? This woman is dangerous and has an ulterior motive.
In her latest speech, she said the "number 1, top priority" was to "protect and defend" the Muslim community and suggested assimilation should not be a goal.
"It is not to assimilate and to please any other people or authority," Sarsour said. "Our obligation is to our young people, and to our women, and to make sure our women are protected in our community and our top priority, even higher than those priorities is to please Allah and only Allah."
Well folks-Christians and Jews-the overwhelming majority of the people in the United States, you need to relax about Islam. Muslims are family. They are your kindred through your shared progenitor, Abraham, so they claim.
Having Abraham as an ancestor would demand that the "children" be loving siblings. That's the message the American Muslims try to convey. And that's the way they aim to keep us in the deadly slumber of complacency and the delusion of multiculturalism.
For one, multiculturalism and multi-religionism are not interchangeable and are not one and the same. Muslims and their frequently well-paid apologists use the multiculturalism umbrella only in non-Islamic lands to shield themselves from the torrent of legitimate criticisms that those who know Islam better shower on this cult of violence peddled as the religion of peace.
Don't listen to me and don't listen to these conniving dissimulators. Find out for yourself. See if the euphemism of multiculturalism is ever even mentioned by any Islamic leader, ever printed in the Islamic press, or ever appears in any form anywhere in Muslim countries. This multiculturalism gambit is Islam manufactured wool to pull over the eyes of the non-Muslims while the Muslims carry on with their unrelenting campaign of eradicating anything or anyone non-Islamic anywhere in the world.
Those of us, through reason and a tremendous act of will, who have freed ourselves from the enslaving yoke of Islam placed around our necks from birth, know about all the heinous inside dirt of this plague on humanity.
We have experienced Islam first-hand and up close from the inside. We have studied the Quran, the Hadith, and the Sunna. We have seen Islam in action where it holds sway. Some of us have even tried desperately to cling to this security blanket that was wrapped around us from birth. Yet, the more we studied and the more we experienced Islam, the more our effort to remain in the fold became untenable.
We broke away from Islamic slavery and found it to be our solemn duty to expose this fraud of a religion, help other Muslims to free themselves from it, and warn good-hearted and gullible non-Muslims against falling prey to it.
Muslim organizations in America, generously financed by the oil-rich Muslim government and sheikhs, are directed to sell Islam Lite for long enough until the cult runs deep roots and Real Islam is introduced. One can see how the scheme played out in Europe. Much of Europe is already past the stage of Islam Lite and knee deep into the quagmire of Real Islam. And that's exactly where things are headed in America.
It is said that truthfulness is the foundation of all virtues. Islam not only condones, it encourages, lying and dissimulation-Taqiyya – in dealing with non-Muslims. Linda Sarsour's message is little more than packs of crafty propaganda, distortions and outright lies.
Fellow Americans: Linda Sarsour, the darling of the left, may well be an American, but she remains an enemy from within and must be treated as such, a traitor.

The stock market is going all Valeant on Mylan . That's a buying opportunity for value investors. Look for Mylan shares to rebound more than 30% over the next year.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (ticker: VRX), down 73% over the past nine months, has drawn public scorn for its history of buying drugs and quickly raising prices. That doesn't exactly describe Mylan (MYL), which last year collected 87% of its revenue and 79% of its operating profit from generics. But there are awkward similarities.
Sharp price increases have driven revenue for Mylan's EpiPen—but that now worries some investors. Courtesy of Mylan N.V.
Mylan, with a stock market value of $22 billion and about $6 billion in net debt, has done more than $26 billion in deals over the past nine years. Its smaller specialty-medicines division, which brings in the rest of revenue and operating profit, consists mostly of EpiPen, whose price has multiplied from around $76 per package in 2001 to more than $500, according to Wells Fargo analyst David Maris. The concern isn't that Mylan is a predatory pricer, but rather that EpiPen price hikes have bolstered recent growth and won't last forever.
EpiPen is an adrenaline injector used for life-threatening allergic reactions, and because those aren't predictable, it's bought far more often than it's used. Mylan has made a successful legislative push to get EpiPens in schools. Now it's working on all public spaces, such as restaurants.
Barron's Bounce: Martin Marietta Materials, Mylan, and BMC Stock Holdings are rising after positive articles in the magazine, while Deutsche Bank is slipping after a skeptical article.
Two companies have tried and failed so far to bring to market EpiPen competitors. Sanofi (SNY) issued a recall in October, and that same month Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (TEVA) said its long-awaited injector won't be ready until next year. That's lucky for Mylan—or rather, it's a foreseeable outcome of the company targeting difficult-to-manufacture drugs, including inhalers, injectors, and patches.
The larger problem for Mylan is that it rebuffed an $82-a-share buyout offer from Teva last year and last month announced a $7.2 billion purchase of Swedish drugmaker Meda (MEDAA.Sweden), which investors viewed as pricey judging by the stock's decline on the announcement. Mylan shares recently fetched $45, down from a peak of $76 last April.
In a situation like this, a company can either take a conciliatory tone, vow to take a break from deal making, and look for ways to win back investor favor, or double down and insist the Street has got it wrong and will eventually come around. We'd prefer the former, but Mylan CEO Heather Bresch seems to be leaning toward the latter.
The Meda deal, she explains to Barron's, could help Mylan reach $6 a share in earnings as soon as 2017, a year ahead of its previously stated goal. Teva's offer, she says, was simply too low compared with that kind of earnings potential. "When the noise subsides around companies like Valeant, we'll rise to the top," she says.
To her point, Mylan has done a good job of folding in past acquisitions, according to Deutsche Bank analyst Gregg Gilbert, who is bullish with a $66 price target. The Meda deal will diversify earnings and looks likely to add to them. The consensus estimate has 2017 earnings per share growing 12% to $5.54; shares trade at just eight times that figure. The Standard & Poor's 500 index, with much slower earnings growth, trades at close to twice that multiple.
The individual estimates for Mylan's 2017 earnings per share range from $5.08 to $6.20, suggesting $6 is at least possible. Mylan is working on a generic version of the blockbuster asthma drug Advair, which it hopes to begin selling next year. It has been delayed in launching a generic version of another top seller, Copaxone, for multiple sclerosis, but that one could be approved as soon as this year. And Mylan has a promising pipeline of other generics, particularly for respiratory drugs.
YET THE BACKDROP ISN'T as favorable as it once was for generic drug makers. Last year, drugs with combined sales of $27.7 billion faced patent expirations. That will fall to $18.9 billion this year and $11.1 billion next year, according to Wells Fargo's Maris. And generic drugmakers are no longer the darlings of U.S. politicians looking to contain health-care costs. Seven years ago, six of the top 10 generic makers were U.S.-based. By 2014, thanks to tax inversions and other deal making, none of them were. Mylan operates largely out of Pennsylvania, but last year redomiciled in the Netherlands. All of this stems from high U.S. corporate tax rates that make it hard for U.S.-domiciled companies to compete in the global economy. Further complicating the picture, U.S. lawmakers could retaliate, pressuring tax refugees on the prices for their generic drugs.
That said, the current stock valuation seems to price in many more ailments than the company actually has. Teva won't likely come calling again, as it has since bought a big generics division from Allergan (AGN). And its experience could dissuade others from bidding. Mylan also scores poorly on corporate governance, according to Institutional Shareholder Services, for which it deserves a discount. But the Street's average price target for the stock—$60, up 33% from here—seems plenty feasible if earnings can indeed approach $6 a share in a year.
The stock market is going all Valeant on Mylan.

Q: Cyclic faithfully flat modules I am looking for an example of a cyclic faithfully flat $R$-module that is not projective. Could someone help me?

A: Over a von Neumann regular ring, every (left or right) module is flat.  Furthermore, a finitely generated projective module is necessarily finitely presented.
Using these two facts, I claim that it suffices to produce a von Neumann regular ring $R$ with a left ideal $I$ such that:

*

*$I$ is not finitely generated, and

*$R/I$ contains a submodule isomorphic to $R$.

Indeed, condition 1 (along with Schanuel's Lemma) implies that $R/I$ is not finitely presented.  And the flat module $R/I$ will be faithfully flat thanks to condition 2 because the inclusion $R \hookrightarrow R/I$ remains injective after tensoring with an arbitrary right $R$-module $M$ (by flatness of $M$), so that $M \cong M \otimes_R R \hookrightarrow M \otimes_R (R/I)$ as abelian groups.
To produce an example of such $R$ and $I$ above, we can use one of the more famous pathological examples of a von Neumann regular ring: the ring $R = \operatorname{End}_k(V)$ of all linear endomorphisms of an infinite-dimensional $k$-vector $V$ space over your favorite field $k$.  It's well known that $R$ fails to have the property of invariant basis number because $R \cong R \oplus R$ as left $R$-modules.  Using this, we may inductively write left module decompositions $$R = R_0 \oplus S_1 = R_0 \oplus R_1 \oplus S_1 = R_0 \oplus R_1 \oplus R_2 \oplus S_2 = \cdots$$ where each $R_i$ and $S_i$ is isomorphic to $R$.
In this way we obtain an infinite direct sum $I = \bigoplus_{i=1}^\infty R_i \subseteq R$ that is clearly an infinitely generated left ideal. And because $R_0 \oplus I \subseteq R$, we obtain $R \cong R_0 \hookrightarrow R/I$ as left $R$-modules. Thus conditions 1 and 2 are satisfied.

Wulfens Primel (Primula wulfeniana) ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Gattung der Primeln (Primula) innerhalb der Familie Primelgewächse (Primulaceae). Die beiden Unterarten gedeihen in den Südwestalpen und in den Karpaten.

Beschreibung

Vegetative Merkmale
Wulfens Primel ist eine mehrjährige krautige Pflanze und erreicht Wuchshöhen von 2 bis 10 Zentimetern. Die meisten Pflanzenteile sind  kahl.

Die Laubblätter sind in einer grundständigen Rosette angeordnet. Die einfache Blattspreite ist bei einer Länge von 2 bis 4 Zentimetern sowie einer Breite von 0,5 bis zu 1,2 Zentimeter eilanzettlich oder verkehrt-lanzettlich bis verkehrt-eiförmig mit zugespitztem oberen Ende. Die ledrige Blattspreite ist dunkelgrün, glänzend, steif, nicht klebrig und ihr Blattrand ist ungezähnt, mit breitem Knorpelrand, jung eingerollt und dicht mit bei einer Länge bis zu 0,1 Millimetern sehr kurzen, hellen Drüsenhaaren bedeckt.

Generative Merkmale
Die Blütezeit reicht von Mai bis Juli. Der kahle Blütenstandsschaft überragt bei einer Länge von 0,5 bis 7 Zentimetern die Laubblätter und auf ihm befinden sich in einem doldigen Blütenstand ein bis drei Blüten. Der Blütenstiel ist 2 bis 8 Millimeter lang. Die rötlichen Hüllblätter sind bei einer Länge von 3 bis 15 Millimetern dreieckig-lanzettlich bis linealisch und meistens länger als die Blütenstiele, reichen aber höchstens bis zur Mitte des Kelches.

Die zwittrige Blüte ist radiärsymmetrisch und fünfzählig mit doppelter Blütenhülle. Die fünf rötlichen, 6 bis 12 Millimeter langen Kelchblätter sind mindestens die Hälfte ihrer Länge röhrig verwachsen und dicht mit sehr kurzen Drüsen bedeckt. Die relativ kurzen Kelchzähne enden stumpf. Die hellrote bis lilafarbene Krone ist 25 bis 30 Millimeter breit und die Kronlippen sind ausgefranst. Die Kronröhre ist innen und der Kronschlund sind weiß.

Die Chromosomenzahl beträgt 2n = 66.

Systematik und Verbreitung
Die Erstbeschreibung von Primula wulfeniana erfolgte 1852 durch in Wilde Blendlinge Österr. Primeln, 17. Das Artepitheton wulfeniana ehrt den österreichischen Naturwissenschaftler und Jesuiten Franz Xaver Freiherr von Wulfen (1728–1805), der die Flora der Alpenländer erforscht hat.

Das Verbreitungsgebiet der beiden Unterarten umfasst die Südostalpen und die Balkanhalbinsel.

Je nach Autor gibt es von Primula wulfeniana etwa zwei Unterarten:
 Primula wulfeniana  subsp. wulfeniana (Syn.: Primula baumgarteniana ): Es gibt Fundortangaben für Österreich nur im Bundesland Kärnten, in Liechtenstein, in Italien nur in Venetien sowie Friaul, in Slowenien und Kroatien. Sie gedeiht in den subalpinen bis alpinen Höhenstufen in Höhenlagen von 1200 bis 2200 Metern über Kalkstein in steinigen Rasen, auf Schutt und auf Felsen vor.
 Primula wulfeniana subsp. baumgarteniana : Sie kommt nur in den Karpaten in Rumänien vor. Sie gilt auch bei manchen Autoren als Synonym.

In 2017, the team at Creative Market set out to build Creative Market Pro, a design asset subscription for professional designers. Over the course of three months, I worked closely with Positioning, Market Research and Product teams to design a brand system for Creative Market Pro. The goal for this 'Minimum Viable Brand' was to differentiate the new product as a curated, subscription-based tool for professional-level design teams.
The icon for Creative Market Pro represents the idea of a special collection, incorporating the spangle as a nod to the spark of inspiration behind every asset on the site.
The illustration system stemmed from these abstract avatar explorations. Swatches of abstract patterning lent an energetic, inspiring feel to contrast with our bold headline typeface, and they helped define the way we use color and shape in illustrations.
After launching Creative Market Pro, I worked closely with our Growth & Marketing team to art direct and produce ad creative. The series of ads highlighted the versatility of the assets on Creative Market Pro, and the ways that the new product could allow teams to produce great design work swiftly. These ads were surfaced on Google Display Network, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Soaking in the Grand Celebration of Life at Hanoi, Vietnam's Capital City!
I stayed in Hanoi for 4 days. I stayed in the old quarter of Hanoi. You already know about that. I took a few days' retreats to Sa Pa and Ninh Binh from the bustling city but came back to the calmness of Hoan Kiem Lake again, for the city is blissfully beautiful. Here are few snapshots from Hanoi which will (hopefully) inspire you to take a take there and soak in the glory of days of yore.
The President's palace at Hanoi. Note the distinctive yellow hue on the wall. Note the hammer and shackle of Communist regime in Vietnam.

The nation-state law
Aug 30,2018 - Last updated at Aug 30,2018
The Knesset's endorsement of the so-called "nation-state law" lately, a law which establishes the concept of a "Jewish state" and consolidates, among other things, the notion of apartheid (a system of institutionalised racial segregation) in the occupied Palestinian territories, palpably violating international law, as well as international resolutions and conventions pertinent to this complex-in-demands, generation-old issue in modern human history.
"The state law" in question will not only obstruct all possible future options of a fair, just and comprehensive peace in the region, but it may as well lead to further violence and extremism, simply because it denies the Palestinian people (living under occupation) the right of existence in their homeland.
For that, I think, the international community has to shoulder legal, political and moral responsibilities and take insistent action to address this law and all its misfortunate, hapless, miserable, pathetic and piteous consequences.
The right of return and compensation for Palestinian refugees all over the world has to be stressed and bluntly raised in any peace settlement if any kind of dialog, whether political, cultural, or academic, is meant to materialise at the end of the day in accordance with the international law and the resolutions of international legitimacy thereafter, the most important of which is UN Resolution 194.
The only way to resolve the decades-old Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the two-state solution, which guarantees the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital, within the June 4, 1967 accords, based on the relevant international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiatives, should there be a real will to reach a fair solution that renders dialog on the go.
A law such as this obviously denotes racism and a state based on apartheid, defining the country as the nation state of the Jewish people. Arabic, previously considered an official language, is now considered, under the new law, as a language that carries a special status! The legislation, adopted after an unrestrained Knesset session, makes Hebrew the country's national language and defines the establishment of Jewish communities as being in the best national interest.
The establishment of an apartheid state brings to mind white-ruled South Africa and the segregation of blacks and whites in a country that used to be torn by racism, eventually to legally erase the Palestinian history, culture, values, not to say the people themselves from their own occupied homeland.
Occupation of the land is what makes any dialogue unrealistic and non-factual, if not absurd. A political solution to the question of Palestine would definitely allow more room for tolerance. A sound "political" compromise would essentially aid in effecting human harmony in the entire region.
Nations should build bridges instead of walls of apartheid and racial, political, socio-cultural and linguistic segregation. For, to be sure, nations' differences are not cultural, nor are they religious. They are political, and the political issues are at the core of the matter that at once needs to be instantly investigated and eventually reconsider the ways in which our humanity would prohibit, rather than support, the creation of any kind of segregation, it is to be sincerely hoped!
As a final word, however, it is about time our nations overcome the always rising hindrances and upheavals in the region and rebuild trust instead of apartheid, to progress with a two-state resolution and a balanced political dialog leading to an independent, secure, and recognised Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital, should it be wanted to make people in the four corners of the earth believe in a cultural, political dialog.

This week's guest post is from Cindy M. Knapp, MS, LMFT, RPT-S. We hope that you find it useful and look forward to future posts from Cindy.
A new year often suggests that we take note of where our lives are at. I wondered what parents had to say about resolutions they were making for themselves and their families for the coming year. I looked at a number of popular websites and read some other blogs. I found that there were common thoughts everywhere.
Most parents seem to feel pressured to DO more, or somehow to BE more. There's a lot of unnecessary guilt because of expectations parents place on themselves. However, the theme that showed up most in my research is that most parents are longing to feel more connected to their partners and their children; to be closer.
1. HAVE MORE FUN TOGETHER.
Take a few minutes after dinner one night a week and write down one idea from each family member of some enjoyable, small activity that she/he would like to do with the family in the coming week. Put the idea on the family calendar, no matter how silly it might seem. Then, make sure that you consider it as important as other things on the calendar (like doctor's appointments) and have fun!
Start "Single Kid Night" (or call it whatever you'd like.) If you have more than one child, you might rarely spend one-on-one time with them. Pick one night a week and set a time limit. An important part of this routine is that the child gets to pick what activity she or he wants the parent to do. You can set limits on options that are available. The family establishes that this time is not to be interrupted. This is easy to pull off if the other children understand that their time with the parent won't be interrupted, either. If there's more than one parent in the home, schedule "Single Kid Night" in a way that works best for you, but includes both parents spending time with each child.
2. ENCOURAGE FAMILY TOGETHERNESS THROUGH CONTRIBUTION.
Cut down on chaos by establishing routines in which everyone works together to take care of the home. Okay, I know, "yawn." Probably, no one is going to be excited to work with you on this one. However, children feel good when they make a contribution to the family. Keep it simple. For example, when parents are cleaning up after dinner, have the children help with a specific assigned activity. Use encouraging language to show that you value the child's contribution. Here's another idea: when you get out of the car, have all the children look around and pick up some things that need to be taken out. Yes, training the children to participate takes time, but it will help you feel less stressed and more connected if everyone is allowed to help.
Look for opportunities to prompt siblings to do things for each other. Think of small things and encourage this often. Remember to include the younger child(ren) in doing things for the older ones. Teach the concept of how we need each other. Some examples: "I see your brother is struggling to do _____; I bet he could use your help." "You are really good at ____ and your sister is trying to learn. Teach her, please." Note that these are not in the form of questions. Your child can refuse, but the words suggest that we need each other.
3. TAKE SOME TIME OUT TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR PARTNER.
Make it a priority to sit down and face each other, and check in about your day. If you don't PLAN to do this and make it a daily ritual, it's unlikely to happen. When you as parents work on your connection to each other, your children will see this and benefit from it. How you treat each other and the ways in which you make one another feel important and valued sets the tone for how your children act.
Be your partner's best friend. According to marital researcher John Gottman, committed couples who treat their partners like good friends have a stronger bond. In addition, you show your children behaviors you want them to learn.

Press Release -- September 11th, 2013

Frost & Sullivan Honors HUAWEI SmartCare® CEM Solution with its 2013 Global Telecom Solutions Providers' CEM Solution Strategy Leadership Award
[Shenzhen, China, September 12, 2013]: Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, today announced its HUAWEI SmartCare® customer experience management (CEM) solution won the "Global Telecom Solutions Providers' CEM Solution Strategy Leadership Award" at the Frost & Sullivan Growth, Innovation & Leadership (GIL) Congress in California.
Voted on by Frost & Sullivan analysts, together with consultants in the global ICT industry, the award is designed to recognize innovation and excellence in global performance management practitioners, and celebrates Huawei's significant achievements in the CEM solution market. A range of factors were considered in the selection process, including technical, economic, and market.
The increasing penetration of smart mobile terminals combined with the surge in various kinds of services and apps has created a sophisticated customer experience, making CEM a major focus for Communication Service Providers (CSPs). Huawei holds a leading position in supporting CSPs as they evolve to provide the next generation of service and customer experience management by addressing closing loop network and service quality issues, service and user centric operations transformation, and multi-channel journey experience assurance.
Comparing Huawei's CEM solutions to those of competitors, Frost & Sullivan analyst, Narla Ramaiah, said, "While many vendors still depend on OSS products, such as network probes that restrict their focus to network-centric data, Huawei considers a vastly expanded set of touch points encompassing services, users, IT, and business systems. In addition to expanded coverage, Huawei's CEM approach is to collect and analyze more granular data of the service and the user. Specifically, Huawei proposes to move from a per-service-only measurement (or even the per-network or per-device orientation that some vendors still promote) to a per-service, per-user (PSPU) measurement. Recently, Huawei's success in winning large CSP accounts in Asia, such as PCCW in Hong Kong, and XL in Indonesia with whom it is partnering to deliver a Service Operations Centre (SOC) to support 46 million users, is mounting evidence of its successful strategy, enabling the transformation towards service and user centricity."
Huawei currently positions its CEM solutions, HUAWEI SmartCare®, within its "Services" portfolio and avoids any product-orientated references. Huawei's CEM strategy leverages strong collaboration between the company's vast pool of technical staff together and its wide portfolio of product solutions, such as telecom and IT network hardware, end user devices, chipsets, and software.
Dee Alipanah, Vice President of Huawei Global Technical Service, said, "To better manage the customer experience, CSPs need to break up the silos inside the organization. To address this, Huawei developed the Inter-Departmental Experience Associated Lifecycle (IDEAL) Management Model to facilitate cross-department collaboration. We are now collaborating in-depth with the TM Forum to lead the customer experience collaboration project which is dedicated to the development of Customer Experience (CE) metric along with customer journey. CEM is a key strategic investment for Huawei, and we will continue to invest in this field."

Up to 40,000 people have joined a so-called "Anti-Maidan" demo to mark the first anniversary of the bloody events during the Ukrainian coup on Kiev's Independence Square, Russian police reported on Saturday.
The 40,000-strong march against violence and revolutions, organized by the "Anti-Maidan" movement in the center of the Russian capital has been approved by local authorities, Moscow police said in a statement.
"The number of participants was declared as not exceeding 10,000 people, but currently it is already far higher than stated before," said Aleksey Mayorov, the head of the city's police department, according to RIA-Novosti.
The march had a slogan: "A year since Maidan. We won't forget, we won't forgive!" The banners people were carrying read: "No to Maidan – no to war", "Russia against Maidan", "Maidan is deceit". According to its organizers, the rally numbered 50,000 people.
Aleksandr Zaldostanov, the leader of Russian motorcycle club "The Night Wolves", said: "When the mobilization of Russia's enemies takes place, I call to rally round Russia's president," TASS reported.
The "Anti-Maidan" movement was founded this January in Moscow by a group of social activists to counter what they believe could pose a threat to Russia. Its main goal is to prevent so-called "color revolutions" in the country.
Events led to then-President Viktor Yanukovich fleeing the country and the opposition forming a new government. In April, the new Kiev authorities started an anti-terrorist operation against breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine, who didn't recognize the coup-imposed authorities in Ukraine. According to the latest UN estimates, the resulting civil war has claimed the lives of at least 5,600 people.

Q: API Blueprint resource definition not working correctly This blueprint resource is giving me problems.
#Group Data Ingress

## Inbound SMS [/api/v1/inboundSMS{?number,message,key}]

### Receive [GET]

+ Response 200 (text/plain)

    + Body

            OK

As you can see its a simple get request, ie http://my-host.com/api/v1/inboundSMS?number=123&message=hello%20world&key=SECRETKEY
But, I am geting an error from apiary.io
Line: 543 (The request line) Empty request message-body.
Line: 545 (The parameters line) Ignoring unrecognized block.

As it's a GET request there is no message body so I don't know why its complaining about it being missing.

A: This error is because you have defined a "Request" with no headers or body. The Parameters section belongs outside of the "Request".
You can remove the Request section and add the Parameters section in the outer level as follows to remove this error:
## Inbound SMS [/api/v1/inboundSMS{?number,message,key}]

    + Body

            OKAY

You can also move the Parameters section to the resource instead of placing it in the action. So it will be shared across all actions inside the resource.

The Tieton River draining the east slopes of the Cascades some 25 miles northwest of Yakima is outside of the normal drive-to area we cover at the WenatcheeOutdoors website. But the Tieton is unusual: In September, a dam release from the Rimrock Reservoir (to benefit salmon runs) raises the river to exciting paddling levels. By this time of year, it's the closest place we paddlers from Central Washington can find whitewater. So we've included paddling information for both the Upper (class 3+) and Lower (class 2+) Tieton because many of our local paddlers will want to make the migration to Yakima for a whitewater fix.
For many paddlers this run is less about communing with nature and more about the non-stop paddling action. One local paddler I recently asked to join me on the sojourn to the Tieton considered it a rather soulless river (the unfortunate aftermath of building Highway 12) that had virtually no eddies and very few play spots. Once you were on the river, you were washed downstream through a channelized sluice at mach speeds. He said doing the river once was enough.
While there's truth to this assessment, boaters who want an adrenaline rush will find this river pretty darn fun. Furthermore, the scenery — in those few moments when you peel your eyes from the oncoming waves or sweepers — is pretty darn pretty. Many beautiful walls (some with long basalt columns, others with columns that have been uplifted, twisted, and then shaved at odd angles) flank the canyon. At water level oaks, poplars, alders, cottonwoods, ponderosa pines, Douglas firs, and even a few crabapple trees create a green ribbon that contrasts dramatically with the rust-colored walls and yellow-grass hills of the desert. I found the river more scenic than my friend had cast it.
Each year around September 1 the Bureau of Reclamation begins its the annual "flip-flop" operation in the Yakima Basin by reducing flows in the upper arm of the Yakima River and increasing flows in the Naches River with increased water releases from Rimrock Reservoir. The purpose of the flip-flop is to encourage spring Chinook salmon to spawn at relatively low flows so that less water is required during the winter to keep the egg nests, also known as redds, covered. This water operation also reduces impacts on irrigation water supply during the next season.
Flows from the Cle Elum Reservoir are gradually decreased from over 2,500 cubic-feet-per-second (cfs) down to 200 or 250 cfs by about the middle of September. Meanwhile, flows from Rimrock Reservoir are increased from a trickle to about 2,000 cfs by mid-September. Sometimes, depending on irrigation demands and weather factors, flows reach 2,200 to 2,400 cfs.
Sometime in mid-September, the flow on the Tieton reaches its maximum and then the flow starts getting squeezed by around 100 to 200 cfs a day. The boating season is typically over by late September.
Difficulty of Lower Tieton: 3 to 2+ (depending on put-in). The Tieton is not the typical river most of us boat. The rapids on the Lower Tieton, rated singly, are mainly class 2 with a few class 2+ or 3- drops thrown in if you use our higher put-in. If you tip, don't have a bombproof roll, and swim, you're quickly in trouble. Between the lack of eddies and the abundance of brush, branches, and logs flanking the river, there is plenty of danger. If you swim there's a high likelihood you'll need to abandon your boat and simply take care of yourself. All of this means that a good roll is imperative. The ability to read the river on the fly is also important. Because standard difficulty ratings are somewhat misrepresentative of the consequences of swimming, you should be a solid Class 3 boater to run the Lower Tieton.
Take-Out: Mile 185.2 at bridge by the confluence of Tieton and Naches rivers.
River Flow Info. Flows of 1000cfs are generally considered to be the minimal flow needed to raft the river. Kayakers can probably squeak by with a little less water. Generally flows in the 1,700 to 2,000 cfs range are preferred. For river flow info, check the prerecorded info from the Bureau of Reclamation: 509-575-5854. Or use these links: 1) http://www.usbr.gov/pn/hydromet/yakima/index.html (then click on 'Current Data' and then on 'Rimrock Lake.' 2) Go directly to this river gauge.
Usage. The river gets heavy use on September weekends–it's more of a circus than a church. Weekdays in September are relatively quiet and those disliking 'scenes' should use a mental health day to enjoy the river.
Access. From I-82 on the north end of Yakima, follow Highway 12 west toward Naches. In 17 miles, branch left on Highway 12 at the junction of Highway 410 and Highway 12. From this junction, it is about 12 miles to the higher put-in for this stretch of river, about 8 miles to the lower put-in.
Mileages. The Tieton follows Highway 12 quite closely (it's a channelized river now). We've used highway milepost figures as a way to identify landmarks, rapids, camping spots etc. Use the drive to the put-in to scope out the river.
Mile 173.5 Primitive camping area and location of Waffle Wall Rapid, so named for the waffle-shaped retaining devices stabilizing the right bank of the river. There are holes on both side of the river upstream of the waffles. Enter the rapid more toward the right but with a left-facing angle to paddle away from the wall. The river mellows out a bit below Waffle Wall (a few 2+ rapids before Windy Point Campground), so this is also a good place to start a river run of the Lower Tieton. There's a good entry point (a touch brushy but still easily accessed) across from Waffle Wall but immediately downstream of the whitewater action. There are several excellent primitive camping sites here as well.
Mile 174.5 An exciting, 2+ rapid that will grab the attention of paddlers doing the Lower Tieton.
Mile 175.6 Primitive camping on right of road (as you're headed down canyon).
Mile 176.3 Primitive camping on left of road (as you're headed down canyon).
Mile 176.5 Primitive camping just before the first of two bridges the highway (and river) cross in quick succession. Popular spot with Honey Buckets.
Mile 177.1 Second bridge. Excellent place to enter the river immediately downstream of bridge on river left.
Mile 177.3 Windy Point Campground (fee area). A popular take-out for the Upper Tieton and put-in for the Lower Tieton.
Mile 179 Oak Tree Wildlife Area buildings.
Mile 180.7 Primitive camping left and right of road.
Mile 183.3 Footbridge across river accessing popular climbing cliffs.
184.25 Tim's Pond. Picnic area with outhouses.
185.2 Highway 12 bridge across Naches River. Good kayaking take-out for Lower Tieton. Exit the Tieton on river left by pulling into the slack water of the Naches at the confluence. Paddle 75 yards upstream to the bridge. Exit on river right (your left as you paddle upstream). Lots of undeveloped land here for paddlers who want to hide a bike for a bike shuttle. The highway has a decent shoulder making this an easy bike shuttle (8 miles back to Windy Point Campground and 12 miles back to Waffle Wall).
Land Managers. The land flanking much of the Tieton River is managed by the Wenatchee National Forest. Some of the lands are also part of the Oak Tree Wildlife Area.
Camping. There are several Forest Service fee campsites with flush toilets and running water along the Tieton and these include Windy Point, Willows, and Hause Creek campgrounds. In September, most of the weekend spaces at these campgrounds will need to be reserved in advance. There are also many no-fee primitive camping areas along the river and a few of these are noted in our mileage figures. Some of the primitive areas have Honey Buckets to handle human waste, most don't. Bring your own 'groover' (portable toilet). If you don't have a portable toilet yet, you should — especially for camping in high traffic areas like the Tieton. Read our article 'Going in the Woods' to get yourself properly outfitted. Also, bring water for primitive camping and be aware that fires are prohibited at all the primitive camping sites.
Permits. No permits are needed to run the river but some campgrounds require fees to park and launch.


The chamber music repertoire for the bass oboe is still rather limited. This explains why, when selecting pieces for the instruments featured on this CD, we considered compositions that were written for an older relative of the bass oboe. Indeed one reason for developing this rival in the field of sound concepts, the heckelphone, was the wish to expand the low oboe register. The bass oboe built by the brothers Mönnig (Markneukirchen) has developed this concept further, opening up new ways of tonal realization and performing techniques. Thus it no longer serves merely as an alternative to the heckelphone. The compilation of pieces presented on this CD demonstrates how this still rather small line of repertoire can be spelt out anew by using the bass oboe. In this respect Hindemith's heckelphone trio has to be considered a pioneering achievement of great significance.


Since our son was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (half a heart) in 2003 we have vowed that for Danny, half a heart will never mean half a life. We do everything we can to ensure that Danny lives as full a life as possible. As he grows older and more independent it's clear that we're not going to be by his side all of the time. In an emergency we may not be there to let the medics know of his medical condition when he is unable to. Thankfully he's usually out and about with his good friends who know all about his medical needs. To cover all eventualities in case of an emergency occurring while he is alone Danny wears a medical alert bracelet.
We have been introduced to many medical ID bracelets over the years at Little Heart Matter Open Days and charity events. They all have the same basic purpose – to give vital information about your medical condition when you are unable to speak for yourself. Over the years we have realised how important is to find a medical bracelet that you love, or in our case that Danny loves. If you don't love the bracelet, you're not going to wear it and if you're not wearing it then it can't do it's job (which ultimately could be to save your life). Therefore the most important thing is to find a medical bracelet that Danny loves and will wear every day.
Butler & Grace have a range of fashionable custom medical alert bracelets which you can use to inform others of your medical condition, allergy or ICE (In Case of Emergency) contact. They come in a range of materials, colours and styles and all at an affordable price. The fashion conscious could buy in a number of styles to ensure each bracelet matches their outfit, or perhaps you could choose an everyday bracelet and one for special occasions.
Danny chose the Ammo Grey Hematite Bracelet (£22.95).
The front of the charm features the Caduceus symbol of emergency medicine so a professional can quickly see that he has a medical condition that they need to be aware of.
I love the style of this Ammo bracelet, it perfectly suits Danny's style.
We could personalise the back of the charm with up to three lines of text, each up to 11 characters/spaces. This meant we could fit the full name of Danny's medical condition, Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome.
Before ordering Danny's medical alert bracelet we measured his left wrist (always measure the arm on which the bracelet will be worn). We then added an inch so he could wear it in a loose style (add half an inch for a tighter style).
One consequence of Danny's heart condition is that he will be on anticoagulants for life, in his case he is on Warfarin. If Danny had an accident or hurts himself he can bleed or bruise more easily. If he has a head injury it's vital that we're informed (cue lots of trips to school during Danny's more boisterous junior school years). As a result of the medical implications of anti-coagulants Danny also wears an "On Warfarin Wristband" (£2.49).
These bands are a simple and effective way to communicate your medical condition or medication that you are taking. They are latex free, practical and affordable.
Butler & Grace Custom Medical Bracelets are not a medical membership service. They feel that the most important information in an emergency are the details that are on the charm or tag of your bracelet and necklace. This means that there are no monthly fees – just a one off cost for your new medical bracelet.
If you are part of a membership service that requires an online log in or telephone number and a membership number, just include these details when you design the message for your disc. Or choose a design that you can engrave your own personal QR code on.
Personally, we feel reassured that medics will be able to find out the most important medical details about Danny immediately by looking at his bracelets. We also ensure he keeps his ICE contact up to date on his mobile phone too.
One lucky reader will win a piece of jewellery from Butler & Grace (worth up to £30). You could pick a custom medical alert bracelet or a piece of personalised jewellery. To enter this competition enter the Rafflecopter below. Remember to read the terms and conditions. Good luck!
Danny was gifted a Custom Medical Alert Bracelet from Butler & Grace for the purposes of this review.
I'd choose the Aqua Geo Longitude Latitude bracelet.

Q:Goods10: Steve, Thank you for the awesome news you have just given us! It made my stomach turn upside down a few times when I read it. Question....what is your opinion on the level of confidence, based on the mood of your contacts, that this vote will in fact take place on Monday (Iraq Monday) assuming nothing crazy happens between now and then.
Again, thank you for the information you provide us. I can't speak for everyone here but I know for myself I would be a lost, deflated, individual in this ride if it wasn't for you and what you provide to us here! I probably wouldn't be in this investment at this point if I only had the "guru's" to listen to! I started out rough on this site with you and a few others but I have learned my place and I appreciate you not getting rid of me.
Steve1: Question....what is your opinion on the level of confidence, based on the mood of your contacts, that this vote will in fact take place on Monday (Iraq Monday) assuming nothing crazy happens between now and then.
Answer...Our contacts are saying 100%, but they told me that last time and then the unexpected happened at the last minute between Maliki and the Kurds. That shocked many people.
[hunter35] Blessingsabundant I agree with you!
[rotormech35] Blessingsabundant so its all fixed now? Your source has high confidence???
[sandytob] I was just wondering if you knew what had stopped it.
[Blessingsabundant] sandytob I know what my source said, but cannot say here.

Q: Fade Out 2 elements on click with jQuery I am trying to fade out both a full screen overlay and an info box div when pressing the close button, for some reason the code below isn't working. Thanks in advance for your help, I am a noob when it comes to JQuery!

HTML:

jQuery:
$( document ).ready(function() {
    $("#close_box").click(function(){
    $("#full_page_overlay").fadeOut();
    $("#cart_over").fadeOut();
})
});

A: $( document ).ready(function() {
    $("#close_box").click(function(){
    $(".full_page_overlay").fadeOut();
    $(".cart_over").fadeOut();
})
});

It's because you were using hash tags to refer to the elements - hash tags # look for elements by their ID's, dots . look for elements by their class name.
Try jQuery is a very nice and free resource that will help you learn the basics. It's free and only thing you need is your browser.

A: Those are classes  not Ids
# -->  selects Id's
. --> select classe's

Hospitals with neurology residency programs more likely to administer life-saving clot-busting drugs - 11/06/2013
Hospitals with neurology residency programs more likely to administer life-saving clot-busting drugs
tPA found underused; getting it depends on where patients are treated
Stroke patients treated at hospitals with neurology residency programs are significantly more likely to get life-saving clot-busting drugs than those seen at other teaching or non-teaching hospitals, new Johns Hopkins-led research suggests.
The findings, described online last week in the journal Neurology, suggest that patients at academic medical centers with neurology residency programs likely benefit from having stroke specialists on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These physicians have more experience with the use of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and are likely more confident in using the stroke treatment, which can be deadly if used in the wrong situations, the researchers say.
"The use of tPA within three hours of stroke symptom onset increases the chances of a better outcome by 30 percent and has revolutionized stroke treatment," says study leader Yogesh Moradiya, M.D., a neuro-critical care fellow in the Department of Neurology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "But the data show there is a massive underutilization of this drug, which is considered the gold standard of treatment for patients with the most common type of stroke. And our research finds that where you are treated seems to determine whether or not you receive it."
Moradiya conducted the research with colleagues at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., when he was a neurology resident there.
The drug tPA is used only for patients with ischemic stroke, the most common type of stroke, which occurs as a result of an obstruction in a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain. It should not be used in cases of hemorrhagic stroke, marked by bleeding in the brain as the result of a broken blood vessel. Roughly 700,000 Americans each year suffer strokes, which may cause death or serious disability in the form of weakness, loss of sensation, and difficulty with speaking, seeing, or walking.
Nationwide, Moradiya says, approximately 5 percent of ischemic stroke patients receive tPA, which is injected into a vein only after a CT scan is quickly done to rule out hemorrhagic stroke. Researchers believe that approximately 15 percent of ischemic stroke patients could benefit from tPA. The decision to give the clot-busting drug comes after physicians also consider a variety of factors that could increase the risk of deadly bleeding, including size of the stroke, the patient's other illnesses and age.
In the new study, Moradiya and his colleagues analyzed 11 years of data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' National Inpatient Sample, looking at more than 700,000 cases of ischemic stroke. Over the study period, they found that more than 71,000 stroke patients were treated at hospitals with neurology residency programs (10 percent), 207,208 were treated at other teaching hospitals (29 percent), and the rest were treated at non-teaching
(community) hospitals. The rate of tPAuse ranged from .96 percent of stroke patients at the 140 hospitals with neurology residency programs in 2000 to 6.25 percent in 2010, from .82 percent in other teaching hospitals to 4.86 percent over the time period, and from .82 percent to 3.83 percent at non-teaching hospitals.
When tPA was first widely adopted, Moradiya says, physicians felt that very old patients, those 80 and older, should not be treated with tPA. Later research, however, found that these elderly patients did just as well as younger ones, so many hospitals have routinely given them the clot-buster since. The new study found that this population routinely gets tPA at the same rate as younger patients at neurology residency program hospitals, but at much lower rates at other hospitals.
"As patients get older, the rates of tPA utilization at hospitals without neurology residency programs go down in a straight line with advancing age," Moradiya says.
He says the reluctance to give tPA at those hospitals could be related to the dangers associated with the drugs. In 6 percent of cases, he says, the drug can cause severe bleeding, but those risks must be weighed against the harm of doing nothing. He says physicians who don't give tPA often may be less up-to-date with recommendations for its proper use, and therefore fearful of administering it, especially to older, sicker patients.
Given his findings, Moradiya says he believes it would be valuable for physicians in hospitals without neurology residency programs to receive continuing education on the current research on tPA in an attempt to get the life-saving medication to appropriate patients more often.
People having strokes typically don't have an option of where to be taken for treatment, as many emergency medical services deliver them to the nearest hospital with a stroke unit (if there is one nearby). Moradiya says it would be premature to suggest that patients try to be seen at hospitals with neurology residency programs if they are, say, 30 minutes further away. The trade-off in wasted time could be the difference in outcome in an instance where every minute counts.
But if future research confirms his results, he says he could see a value in transporting stroke victims to a hospital where it is much more likely they will receive tPA.
The research was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (U10NS077378, R25NS79211 and U10NS080377) and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (R01HL096944) to Steven R Levine of SUNY Downstate Medical Center, the supervising researcher of the study.

Bisphosphonates for Paget's disease of bone in adults
Review question
We wanted to find out if using bisphosphonate treatment was better or worse than dummy treatment (placebo) to relieve bone pain in people with Paget's disease of bone and determine if treatment could prevent complications. We also wanted to discover which bisphosphonates were better.
What is Paget's disease of bone and what are bisphosphonates?
Paget's disease of bone is a chronic problem which usually affects one or a few bones. Paget's disease causes bone renewal and repair to become abnormal; bones become weak enlarged and misshapen, leading to pain, fractures and arthritis in joints close to affected bones.
Bisphosphonates are medications that slow down the bone remodelling process.
Search date
Study characteristics
We included 20 studies that involved 3168 people. Of these, 10 studies (801 people) compared bisphosphonates with placebo. Studies included elderly people; slightly more participants were men; and nearly all had raised blood serum markers of bone turnover. Fourteen studies recruited participants from hospitals, outpatient and general practitioner clinics. Studies were performed in USA, Canada, UK, Europe; Australia, New Zealand and Argentina.
What are the effects of bisphosphonates in people with Paget's disease of bone?
Bisphosphonates probably help to relieve bone pain. We are uncertain which bisphosphonate is better. Results were similar across studies.
We are uncertain if bisphosphonates can prevent bone fractures.
Effects on quality of life, need for orthopaedic surgery and hearing loss prevention were not reported in studies that compared bisphosphonates with placebo.
What are the side effects of bisphosphonates in people with Paget's disease of bone?
Most studies did not report details about drug-related side effects and complications. Bisphosphonates may make little or no difference in side effects except for temporary fever or tiredness with intravenous treatments and mild gastrointestinal side effects with oral medications. Severe side effects causing treatment discontinuation were rare.
What happens to people with Paget's disease of bone treated with bisphosphonates?
We found that of 100 adults with Paget's disease of bone, 31 would experience complete pain relief if they took bisphosphonates for six months compared with 9 people not taking bisphosphonates.
We found that of 100 adults with Paget's disease of bone, 64 would experience side effects if they took bisphosphonates for six months compared with 48 not taking bisphosphonates.
The number of people who stopped treatment due to side effects was the same for the bisphosphonate and placebo groups (4 out of 100).
Quality of evidence
Pain relief data provided moderate-quality evidence, but data on fractures was assessed as providing very low-quality evidence. Data on side effects provided low-quality evidence; treatment discontinuation data provided moderate-quality evidence. Evidence was downgraded mainly due to limited data and concerns about study design.
Study funding sources
Eleven studies were funded by drug manufacturers. Four studies were funded by government agencies or charities. Data on funding sources were not provided or unclear in five studies.
We found moderate-quality evidence that bisphosphonates improved pain in people with Paget's disease of bone when compared with placebo. We are uncertain about the results of head-to-head studies investigating bisphosphonates. We found insufficient evidence of benefit in terms of pain or quality of life from intensive treatment. Information about adverse effects was limited, but serious side effects were rare, and rate of withdrawals due to side effects was low.
Bisphosphonates are considered to be the treatment of choice for people with Paget's disease of bone. However, the effects of bisphosphonates on patient-centred outcomes have not been extensively studied. There are insufficient data to determine whether reducing and maintaining biochemical markers of bone turnover to within the normal range improves quality of life and reduces the risk of complications.
To assess the benefits and harms of bisphosphonates for adult patients with Paget's disease of bone.
We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, Embase, ISI Web of Knowledge and trials registers up to March 2017. We searched regulatory agency published information for rare adverse events.
Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of bisphosphonates as treatment for Paget's disease in adults.
Two review authors independently screened search results, extracted data and assessed studies for risk of bias. We used standard methodological procedures expected by The Cochrane Collaboration.
We included 20 trials (25 reports, 3168 participants). Of these, 10 trials (801 participants) compared bisphosphonates (etidronate, tiludronate, ibandronate, pamidronate, olpadronate, alendronate, risedronate, zoledronate) versus placebo, seven compared two bisphosphonates (992 participants), one trial compared a bisphosphonates with a bisphosphonate plus calcitonin (44 participants), and two studies, the largest trial (1331 participants) and its interventional extension study (502 participants), compared symptomatic treatment and intensive treatment where the goal was to normalise alkaline phosphatase.
Most studies were assessed at low or unclear risk of bias. Six of 10 studies comparing bisphosphonates versus placebo were assessed at high risk of bias, mainly around incomplete outcome data and selective outcome reporting.
Participant populations were reasonably homogeneous in terms of age (mean age 66 to 74 years) and sex (51% to 74% male). Most studies included participants who had elevated alkaline phosphatase levels whether or not bone pain was present. Mean follow-up was six months.
Bisphosphonates versus placebo
Bisphosphonates tripled the proportion (31% versus 9%) of participants whose bone pain disappeared (RR 3.42, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.31 to 8.90; 2 studies, 205 participants; NNT 5, 95% CI 1 to 31; moderate-quality evidence). This result is clinically important. Data were consistent when pain change was measured as any reduction (RR 1.97, 95% CI 1.29 to 3.01; 7 studies, 481 participants).
There was uncertainty about differences in incident fractures: 1.4% fractures occurred in the bisphosphonates group and none in the placebo group (RR 0.89, 95% CI 0.18 to 4.31; 4 studies, 356 participants; very low-quality evidence).
None of the studies reported data on orthopaedic surgery, quality of life or hearing thresholds.
Results regarding adverse effects and treatment discontinuation were uncertain. There was a 64% risk of mild gastrointestinal adverse events in intervention group participants and 48% in the control group (RR 1.32, 95% CI 0.91 to 1.92; 6 studies, 376 participants; low-quality evidence). The likelihood of study participants discontinuing due to adverse effects was slightly higher in intervention group participants (4.4%) than the control group (4.1%) (RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.41 to 2.52; 6 studies, 517 participants; low-quality evidence). Zoledronate was associated with an increased risk of transient fever or fatigue (RR 2.57, 95% CI 1.21 to 5.44; 1 study, 176 participants; moderate-quality evidence).
Bisphosphonates versus active comparator
More participants reported pain relief with zoledronate than pamidronate (RR 1.30, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.53; 1 study, 89 participants; NNT 5, 95% CI 3 to 11) or risedronate (RR 1.36, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.74; 1 study, 347 participants; NNT 7, 95% CI 4 to 24; very low quality evidence). This result is clinically important.
There was insufficient evidence to confirm or exclude differences in adverse effects of bisphosphonates (RR 1.05, 95% CI 0.95 to 1.76; 2 studies, 437 participants; low-quality evidence) and treatment discontinuation (2 studies, 437 participants) (RR 2.04, 95% CI 0.43 to 9.59; 2 studies, 437 participants; very low-quality evidence).
Intensive versus symptomatic treatment
There was no consistent evidence of difference to response in bone pain, bodily pain or quality of life in participants who received intensive versus symptomatic treatment.
Inconclusive results were observed regarding fractures and orthopaedic procedures for intensive versus symptomatic treatment (intensive treatment for fracture: RR 1.84, 95% CI 0.76 to 4.44; absolute risk 8.1% versus 5.2%; orthopaedic procedures: RR 1.58, 95% CI 0.80 to 3.11; absolute risk 5.6% versus 3.0%; 1 study, 502 participants; low-quality evidence).
There was insufficient evidence to confirm or exclude an important difference in adverse effects between intensive and symptomatic treatment (RR 1.05, 95% CI 0.79 to 1.41; low-quality evidence).
There was insufficient evidence to confirm or exclude an important difference of risk of rare adverse events (including osteonecrosis of the jaw) from the regulatory agencies databases.

The 2019 NFL regular season is in the books and preparation for the postseason has begun for 12 teams qualifying for a run at the Super Bowl. Before the playoffs kick off with Wildcard Weekend, top handicappers look back at the best and worst NFL bets and why those teams either cashed in or crapped out.
Best Pointspread Bet: New Orleans Saints 11-5 ATS
The Saints' 2019 season was split into two: with Drew Brees and without. But both sections of the schedule were equally as profitable. New Orleans started the season by splitting the first two games and lost Brees to a thumb injury in Week 2, turning the team over to backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.
With books discounting the Saints' spreads with a No. 2 under center, Bridgewater became a model game manager and led New Orleans to five straight wins with a perfect 5-0 mark against the spread. Then Brees returned in late October and the team continued to cash in, finishing the season with a 7-2 SU record, going 6-3 ATS in those final nine games including three straight winners to wrap the regular season.
Worst Pointspread Bet: Chicago Bears 4-12 ATS
A year removed from a 12-5 ATS record in 2018 – best in the NFL last season – the Bears struggled mightily on offense, managing only 17.5 points per game. That wouldn't be enough to top those raised expectations in 2019, with Chicago set as a pointspread favorite in 10 of its 16 games this year.
The defense remained the strong point for the Bears, who limited the opposition to just under 19 points per game. But as the scoring attack came up short and ranked 25th in third-down conversions, the Chicago stop unit found itself on the field more than it would like. The Bears defense also lacked the disruptive nature of last season, recording only 19 takeaways and 32 sacks in their 16 games.
Best Over Bet: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 12-4 Over/Under
A glance at Jameis Winston's historically strange season says it all for total betting in Tampa Bay this season. Winston became the first NFL quarterback to throw 30 or more touchdowns as well as 30 or more interceptions. In a sense, he was generating points with both actions with many of those interceptions going back to the end zone for six points.
The Buccaneers defense was actually a solid unit when you peel back all those extra possessions given away by Winston. Tampa Bay was No. 1 versus the run but allowed bigger gains through the air, with 57 passing plays of 20 or more yards and 14 passes of 40+. In the end, it all equalled up to an average of 56.7 total points on the scoreboard per game.
Best Under Bet: Buffalo Bills 4-12 Over/Under
The Bills sat tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the best Under bet in the NFL but at least with Buffalo it was by design. Unlike the Steelers, who went three quarterbacks deep into their depth chart, the Bills built their road to the postseason on grind-it-out low-scoring football, anchored by one of the best defenses in the league: allowing only 16.2 points per game.
Offensively, Buffalo was built for Unders. The team ran the football on almost 46% of its snaps and finished eighth in terms of rushing yards per game. The passing attack was relatively subdued, with quarterback Josh Allen passing only 32 times per game and averaging 6.3 yards per attempt. That left scoreboard operators bored in Buffalo, with Bills games posting a combined 35.8 points per Sunday.

As the demand for small millets is on the rise, farmers in the district were asked to cultivate the crops and get benefited.
During the monthly agricultural grievance day meeting held at Collectorate here on Friday, Deputy Director of Agriculture (Agribusiness) D. Bharani said that more companies are coming out with healthy grain biscuits and related products.
The requirement for Kambu, Ragi, Cholam, Thinai, Varagu, Panivaragu is on the rise where as the demand is less.
These crops require less water and can be grown even if it rains once. Hence farmers instead of keeping their land idle, should cultivate these small millets, she added.
Since farmers are preparing for samba cultivation, R. Jegadambal, Scientist, Seed Science and Technology, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Sandhiyur, asked them to go for CO (R) 48,49,50 varieties so that productivity could be 10 percent higher.
She also gave details about various new crops and asked farmers to contact the KVK for samples.
A few farmers said that the district needs more check dams and storage points, so that surplus water from Mettur Dam can be stored and used for agricultural purposes.
They also called for deepening and desilting of lakes and wells so that rain water is stored and ground water level gets improved.
A short film on millet promotion was screened for farmers.
Farmers were also informed that a State Level stake holder's consultative meeting on banana is to be held in Erode on August 26 and interested farmers can attend it.
Collector K. Maharabushanam chaired the meeting. Officials from various departments participated.
