Transparency creates the illusion, because the outer and interior space have no limits. If in case you have a small space to work with, there are a number of ways to present the illusion of a bigger house. Give your chairs cloth coated cushions in stunning colours, and use a fairly potted plant or flower as a focal level for the table. To create a more glamorous dining space, I'd use an elongated chandelier, lots of glass, and painted furniture embellished with gold. The current pattern that will solely develop in popularity is the return to a scaled-back, more simplified way of life. The way the room and furniture is positioned is essential to its appeal. If you have any questions concerning the place and how to use Helper, you can contact us at our web-page. It's important to not only have carefully positioned down-lights to bathe the partitions in mild but also items like antique chandeliers or fiber optics set into the glass surface of the table.
A few of my favorite seems to be and items for a dining space embody; a stone flooring, steel banded chairs, a glass top desk, a fashionable metal gentle fixture, and granite layering the curved buffet. A console or buffet used for storage of crockery and utensils should be on the southern or western wall. Ideally, the room itself can be within the western corner of the home as morning sunshine is good for your health. This is not going to shrink or crowd the room visually, and but it's going to make the kitchen more homey and private. So, the room which once felt cramped, now feels more spacious. Adding glass doorways to the entrance approach can permit for a bigger, extra open really feel as properly. Store heavy issues in a approach that may enable you entry to them with out hurting your again. A pleasant, delicate flower arrangement will full the look. Then I measure the room to see what size furniture will match comfortably.
It's a room that is all the time evolving to maintain the pace with changing lifestyles. A effectively decorated dining room can really impress company at a dinner social gathering. For an interesting divider, in a room that's massive sufficient, a water wall fountain can be utilized. A mirror adds a pleasant contact and opens the room up. The background ought to match the rest of the house, in order that it creates a nice move and consistency. A plain glass desk with white leather-based chairs creates a captivating room. For lighting, I would use ceiling down lights so that it focuses on the table. I'd use a impartial shade of paint in a smaller room, too. Must you decide to position a refrigerator in the room, it should be facing southeast. For a fashionable dining room, I find that a simple metallic desk with black chairs works wonderfully. Again, I would counsel using ceiling down lighting to deal with the table and soften the encircling areas.
Don't overdo the lighting because it may possibly harm the eyes. Lighting is essential in a dining space. A dining space shouldn't be adjacent to a bathroom. I at all times start the decorating of a dining room with painting the partitions and skirting boards the identical coloration. Large home windows and doorways enable a variety of sunlight, making a brighter room. All of the varying textures create a memorable room. This means, for example, that you must design your kitchen with lovely home windows that look out at a wonderful view. When picking out furnishings, I at all times advise individuals to go together with something that is timeless trying. Also earlier than adding furniture, the coloration scheme must be taken into consideration. The demand for smaller scale furnishings is on the rise pushed by youthful customers, baby boomers and second dwelling homeowners. Your kitchen is the middle of hearth and home.

Hurry up and Wait? The recent fuss about CAR-Ts
What are CAR-T cells?
CAR (chimeric antigen receptor) T cells (CAR-T) are genetically engineered T cells that express receptors which recognize cancer antigens and attack the cells that express them. Therefore, they are a new cell-based immunotherapy for oncology indications. The results for leukemia and lymphoma patients receiving CD19-specific CAR-T cells have been extremely promising so far.
CAR-T currently come in two main flavors: autologous or allogeneic. In order to prevent an allogeneic response against foreign T cells, CAR T cells are generated from the patient's own T cells. T cells are taken from the patient and genetically engineered to express the receptor that recognizes the cancer antigen by infecting them with a virus encoding the receptor. The receptor consists of an extracellular domain that binds the antigen and an intracellular domain that contains signaling subunits of the CD3z chain and a co-stimulatory molecule, such as CD28 or 4-1BB and have gone through multiple rounds of modifications refinement (Mol Ther Oncolytics. 2016 May 18;3:16014.) Cells expressing the receptor are then selected, expanded, and infused back into the patient. Other groups have taken the "off the shelf" approach in using allogeneic T cells that have gene editing to suppress certain protein targets involved in allogeneic rejection. Interestingly, if this approach is successful, it could potentially allow for standardization of this therapy for both manufacturing and treatment for future patients.
How effective is CAR-T cell therapy?
Like mentioned above, initial results for leukemia and lymphoma patients receiving CD19-specific CAR-T cells have been quite promising. In an ongoing study from the University of Pennsylvania and Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania, a 90% response rate was observed in B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) patients that received CD19-targetted CAR T cells. Similarly, an overall complete response rate of 91% was seen in B-ALL patients that received a similar therapy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Another study at the National Cancer Institute yielded a 70% complete response rate in their own study with B-ALL patients. Finally, a 90% complete response rate was observed at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center when patients received CAR-T cells generated from subsets of CD4 and CD8 central memory T cells. While all these studies are still in early stages with less than 50 patients each at the time of this writing, these response rates are unprecedented.
Unfortunately, 3 recent patient deaths, all of which were attributed to cerebral edema, have put a damper on the excitement of CAR-T cell therapy. Juno Therapeutics, the biotech that developed the therapeutic, attributes the deaths to co-administration of fludarabine, which wipes out the existing immune system, with the CAR-T cells. The trial was temporarily halted, but has now restarted after the protocol was modified to remove fludarabine.
What are the side effects of CAR-T cell therapy?
Without fludarabine, administration of CAR T cell therapy also has life threatening side effects on its own. In addition to neurological toxicity, anaphylaxis, off-tumor recognition, and graft versus host disease, cytokine release syndrome (CRS) has been observed in all of the studies mentioned above. CRS is the result of an overabundance of pro-inflammatory cytokines, also known as a cytokine storm, in the patient after the T cells become activated. This typically occurs day 1-10 for patients due to the rapid T cell expansion during that time. This massive release of pro-inflammatory cytokines results in debilitating symptoms, severe multi-organ failure, and the need for advanced medical care. There have been great efforts to define the diagnostic criteria for CAR-T cells (Sci Transl Med. 2014 Feb 19;6(224):224ra25), including more recent clinical management considerations that involve the usage of anti-IL-6. For more information regarding CRS, please see our previous blog on Cytokine release assays (CRA).
Because CRS has been observed as a side effect in all current trials with CAR-T cells, it is recommended that CAR-T cells be tested for its level of cytokine production in vitro. This measurement can be performed with CRAs, where multiple cytokines can be measured from the supernatant of in vitro activated T cells. CROs that specialize in immune assays, such as iQ Biosciences, can help define the parameters for testing cytokine production from activated CAR-T cells. The resulting levels can be compared to other therapies that give rise to CRS, such as monoclonal antibodies, systemic IL-2, and bi-specific antibodies to assess the potential threat and severity of CRS. In addition to measuring the cytokine release activities in-vitro, iQ Biosciences has also noticed more early stage programs incorporating cytotoxicity reactivity assessment against a panel of normal human cell types, presumably due to recent FDA pre-IND comments for their respective programs.
Given the unprecedented response rate of CAR-T cells, it is an exciting and promising immunotherapeutic that tips the balance toward an amped up immune system to destroy tumor cells. However, the immune system is exquisitely modulated and any tip of the balance too far one way will result in deadly side effects, such as CRS. Thus, it is imperative to perform preclinical studies that will assess the threat level for these types of side effects. iQ Biosciences, with their immunology expertise, will work with clients to design experiments that will help assess these threat levels to help advance their CAR-T cell programs.

The universe we live in might be a hologram
Alec Checkerfield Uncategorized fact, holographic principle, joseph stromberg, physics, science, science fact, tu wien, vox
(TU Wien)
Over at VOX, Joseph Stromberg explains how the universe we live in might be a hologram.
Some physicists actually believe that the universe we live in might be a hologram.
The idea isn't that the universe is some sort of fake simulation out of THE MATRIX, but rather that even though we appear to live in a three-dimensional universe, it might only have two dimensions. It's called the holographic principle.
The thinking goes like this: Some distant two-dimensional surface contains all the data needed to fully describe our world — and much like in a hologram, this data is projected to appear in three dimensions. Like the characters on a TV screen, we live on a flat surface that happens to look like it has depth.
It might sound absurd. But if when physicists assume it's true in their calculations, all sorts of big physics problems — such as the nature of black holes and the reconciling of gravity and quantum mechanics — become much simpler to solve. In short, the laws of physics seem to make more sense when written in two dimensions than in three.

The Otovent autoinflation device is the only clinically effective, drug-free and non-surgical treatment for glue ear or Otitis Media with Effusion. Using the same autoinflation technology as our original Otovent device, the Otovent adult pack contains 10 balloons as opposed to 5.
Reduces the symptoms of glue ear by opening the eustachian tubes allowing the fluid associated with glue ear to safely drain from the middle ear.
Improves patient's quality of life.
Reduces the need for grommet surgery or hearing aids.
Helps prevent hearing impairment and communication difficulties caused by glue ear.
Natural, non-surgical treatment which helps to treat the symptoms of glue ear and Eustachian tube dysfunction.
This device is the same as the original Otovent device but with five extra balloons. Extensive studies on Otovent as a glue ear treatment have been carried out on child patients and are available to access from our Clinical Data page. In summarising these child patient clinical trials, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) have recommended the Otovent treatment be used during the active observation period (also known as "watchful waiting").
Some people may suffer from frequent episodes of anterior nosebleeds. The condition is a nuisance but harmless, any manipulation of the nose may provoke an episode (nose-picking, nose-blowing or balloon inflation). Usually the condition can be easily cured after a visit to the ENT doctor.

Could a Simple Pill Beat COVID-19? Pfizer May Have a "Cure" by the End of the Year
TOPICS:COVID-19Infectious DiseasesPharmaceuticalsPopularPublic HealthVirology
By Peter Wark, University of Newcastle June 5, 2021
While the focus has been largely on vaccines, you might have also heard Pfizer is trialing a pill to treat COVID-19.
It almost sounds too good to be true. Indeed, the results are very preliminary — but it's a promising approach.
Where most antiviral agents we've tried to treat COVID-19 target the inflammatory and immune response resulting from infection, Pfizer's pill directly targets SARS-CoV-2 — the virus itself.
Mounting our defense against the virus
Much of the illness associated with COVID-19 is due to the intense inflammatory and immune response that can occur with an infection. The most successful treatments so far have targeted this overzealous immune response.
Taken early in the disease, the inhaled corticosteroid budesonide has been shown to reduce the development of more severe disease.
In people hospitalised with COVID-19 requiring oxygen, the oral corticosteroid dexamethasone reduces the likelihood of death.
In the most severe cases — COVID patients admitted to ICU — the anti-inflammatory tocilizumab administered intravenously gives a person a better chance of survival.
But these treatments don't target SARS-CoV-2 itself; just the consequences of infection. Directly targeting the virus has proven to be more difficult.
Targeting SARS-CoV-2
A virus like SARS-CoV-2 must enter a host cell to reproduce. It does this using its spike protein (a protein on the virus' surface) to attach to the cell, and then it uses the cell's own proteins to gain entry.
Once inside the cell, SARS-CoV-2 removes its outer coat and releases its viral RNA (ribonucleic acid, a type of genetic material). This acts as a template, allowing the virus to replicate, and then infect other cells. At any point of this life cycle the virus could be vulnerable to an intervention.
SARS-CoV-2 carries an enzyme, 3C-like protease (3CLpro), which plays a crucial role in the replication process. This protease is almost identical to the protease used by the SARS-CoV-1 (SARS) virus, and similar to the protease used by the Middle Eastern Respiratory Virus (MERS).
So a drug that could effectively target 3CLpro and prevent virus replication could be beneficial against multiple known coronaviruses, and possibly any that emerge in the future.
SARS-CoV-2 uses its spike protein to attatch to a host cell.
Protease inhibitors have been successfully used to treat other viral infections, especially chronic infections such as HIV and hepatitis C.
They were put forward early in the pandemic as a possible treatment for COVID-19. But the HIV drug lopinavir-ritonavir was shown in two clinical trials to be ineffective, with drug levels probably too low to work against SARS-CoV-2. While a higher dose might be effective, it would also likely produce more side effects.
Scientists also proposed a repurposed antiviral drug, remdesevir, originally developed to treat Ebola. Remdesivir delays the ability of the virus to replicate its RNA.
Initial case reports appeared promising and saw the US Food and Drugs Administration approve the drug for emergency use. But the results of randomized controlled trials in hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19 were disappointing.
Although there was a reduction in the duration of illness for patients who survived, it didn't significantly reduce a person's chance of dying.
Of course, neither of these agents were designed specifically to target SARS-CoV-2. But in 2020, Pfizer/BioNtech identified a small molecule — PF-00835231 — that blocks the SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro protease. It was originally designed against SARS-CoV-1, but the enzyme in the two viruses is almost identical.
PF-00835231, both alone and in conjunction with remdesevir, appears to reduce the replication of a range of coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2 in cells in the lab. It also reduced viral replication in a number of animal models, with no adverse safety signals. But it's important to note this research hasn't yet been peer reviewed.
Pfizer/BioNtech are taking two drugs to clinical trials for COVID-19: PF-07304814, an intravenous injection for use in patients hospitalised with severe COVID-19 and PF-07321332, an oral agent, or pill, that could potentially be used earlier in the disease. Both are formulations of a 3CLpro inhibitor.
These phase 1 trials, which began in March, represent the earliest stage of drug development. These trials select healthy volunteers and use different doses of the drugs to establish their safety. They also look at whether the drugs elicit sufficient responses in the body to indicate they could be effective against SARS-CoV-2.
The next step would be phase 2 or 3 trials to see if they improve outcomes in COVID-19. Usually this process takes years, but as the pandemic continues to rage globally, Pfizer says it will do this in a matter of months, if phase 1 trials are successful.
The application of antiviral agents in acute COVID-19 has been difficult and unrewarding. Though results are at this stage preliminary, these agents by Pfizer/BioNtech are promising. They could be used early in disease, especially in people poorly protected by vaccination or in those who haven't been vaccinated.
They could also be used as a means of prevention, to contain outbreaks in exposed people. They should be effective against all the SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, as well as against other known and possibly emergent coronaviruses.
The Pfizer CEO's recent suggestion the pill could be available by the end of the year is probably a long shot. But the pandemic has shown us what's possible in the realm of swift scientific advances, and we'll watch this space with interest.

Don't forget, you have an immune system that has evolved over the last 100k years to protect homo-sapiens. It is more effective at preventing death than any of the current vaccines or drugs. That is precisely the reason we are all still here.

The relationship and tensions between creative disciplines has preoccupied Allen's research for more than a decade. In receiving financial support, Allen worked with four internationally recognised higher educational institutions on a collaborative Erasmus Intensive Project. 'Spor Los' brought together eight fine art students from the University of Glamorgan in Wales, four ceramicists and four actors from Volda University in Norway, eight dancers from the Latvian Culture Academy in Riga and eight film-makers from Annadolu University in Turkey. Students participated in a series of workshops over a two-week period before producing a body of work for a major performance and exhibition on Bojcaada Island, Turkey.
Research analysed the relationship between the body and the creative act, and dealt with notions of trace. The articulation of presence and absence was explored through the archiving of performance without the use of the lens. In doing so, similarities between the creative disciplines were established and analysed and a body of work that acknowledged and bridged the divisions was produced.

The Gold Standard vertical tank installations were completed at McNeilus' Chicago branch where certified technicians added 20 percent more fuel capacity for vehicles traveling to and from St. Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland and other locations in the Midwest. By integrating vertically mounted fuel tanks, the tractor-trailers are able to maintain the required swing clearance needed for operation.
McNeilus has more than 5,000 NGEN CNG vehicles on the road from coast to coast. NGEN CNG systems are installed on heavy-duty vehicles through the company's national network of installation centers.


A creamy chocolate cheesecake served on a crisp Oreo crust and topped off with dark chocolate ganache and homemade whipped cream. No water bath required!
Is there a better kind of cheesecake than chocolate cheesecake?
How about one that's served on an Oreo cookie crust, smothered with dark chocolate ganache, and decorated with homemade whipped cream?
If you saw Friday's recipe, you hopefully caught the sneak peek for today's recipe and knew that this was coming. It's not exactly a chocolate pie as some of you guessed (I already have one of those on the blog, though it's a close call to say which I like better), it's a creamy, easy chocolate cheesecake.
Now let's go over a few things to make sure your chocolate cheesecake comes out perfectly, every time.
Room temperature ingredients are key for making a perfect chocolate cheesecake.
You want your eggs room temperature and cream cheese softened to room temperature as well, using room temperature ingredients allows them to combine thoroughly and evenly.
It's also important that your cream cheese be softened because if it is too cold it may leave lumps in your cheesecake, or when you add your melted chocolate it can cause the chocolate to harden, leaving chunks of hard chocolate in your cheesecake. Admittedly, the latter isn't the worst thing that could possibly happen, but we want a smooth cheesecake, so let that cream cheese soften!
I never use water baths with my cheesecakes, it's always just been too much of a hassle and not enough success to warrant using one, and so you may have noticed that none of my cheesecake recipes use water baths. No exception here, but no cracks, either!
How do I keep my cheesecake from cracking without a water bath?
Don't over-beat the eggs when you add them. Stir on low-speed just until combined after each egg, and make sure to pause after each addition to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Over-beating the eggs can actually ruin the texture of your cheesecake and can cause cheesecake to crack.
I know how tempting it is to want to check on your cheesecake before it's finished baking, but opening the oven door can drastically reduce the temperature of your oven, slowing the baking process and causing your cheesecake to sink.
Once your cheesecake is done baking, run a knife around the inside of the springform pan to loosen it from the sides. Otherwise, as the cheesecake cools and contracts, it will stick to the sides and the tension may cause cracks.
I always let my cheesecake come to room temperature on top of the oven before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill and set completely.
Can I also mention here that even if your cheesecake totally does crack in the middle, it hardly even matters because we're going to be covering it with a thick, dreamy layer of chocolate ganache?
How do I know if my cheesecake is finished baking?
Touch and jiggle! Look for edges that are set (they may even be beginning to turn a golden brown) with a center that still slightly jiggles but bounces back to the touch.
Once your cheesecake is finished baking and chilled, I really recommend topping it off with whipped cream. This is completely optional and may seem like overkill when you already have these three rich chocolate pieces (Oreo crust, chocolate cheesecake, chocolate ganache), but the airiness of the whipped cream almost seems to lighten up the chocolate decadence.
For this recipe I used a half batch of my favorite homemade whipped cream.
An easy chocolate cheesecake, no water bath required!
Preheat oven to 350F and wrap the outside of a 9" springform pan with foil (this is to prevent any leaks). Prepare Oreo crust according to recipe instructions and set aside.
Chop your chocolate bars into small pieces (if using chocolate chips, you do not need to chop) and place in a medium-sized bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir well. Microwave again for 15 seconds and stir again, repeat until chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
In a stand mixer (or in a large bowl with a hand-mixer), beat together softened cream cheese and sugar, scraping down the sides with a spatula occasionally to ensure ingredients are mixed well. (beat on medium-speed about 1-2 minutes, scraping down side occasionally).
Stir in melted chocolate until completely combined.
Spread cheesecake batter evenly over prepared cookie crust.
Bake on 350F (175C) for 40-45 minutes or until cheesecake is set in the center and springs back to the touch.
Allow cheesecake to cool to room temperature, and then transfer to refrigerator and chill at least 6 hours before covering with ganache.
I have prepared the recipe, baked and cooled overnight. I am doing a peanut 🥜 butter topping. I have never baked a Cheesecake…so I am eager to bite into this home baked one!
I did also flavor with Peanut 🥜 Butter chips.
I really enjoy reading your post and baking trials. I too am an accomplished baker. Have been selling my baked goods for years. I think it is so nice of you to publish your recipes for others to use. I especially liked your Chocolate cheesecake recipe. I have one really close to yours but yet different. So always of interest to see if I can improve mine. I have made yours and am taking it as a requested dessert for a covered dish tonight. Will be interesting to see if they notice a difference. From one who lives to bake keep up the good job. Almost everything can be solved over a good dinner and dessert made for the occasion.


The inimitable Ethan Marcotte recently wrote an article about the dangers of advising people to pursue certain actions/techniques even if they don't have permission from their bosses or stakeholders.
We should be careful not to talk about our own experiences as if they're gospel. We need to be mindful that the things we promote — especially those things we are personally super duper excited about! — may not work for everyone. "I'm excited about [thing], therefore everyone should just use [thing]." is a tale as old as time.
We should recognize the real risks and challenges people face. To proclaim "just do [thing]" callously brushes aside the complexity of people's often-thorny situations and downplays the level of effort to achieve whatever the person is promoting. Chris Coyier reminds us that "it's impossible to know from the outside what's going on in the inside of other people's websites" in his fantastic article "Just Use [insert CMS here]! Or, Why I Still Love WordPress".
We should be careful when doling out advice that might get folks into hot water at work. Actions have consequences, and promoting potentially subversive behavior shouldn't be taken lightly.
On all those points I wholeheartedly agree. That said, I'm someone who is a big fan of asking forgiveness rather than permission. And I think it's important to encourage teams to find strategic, creative, tactful ways to best serve their users and businesses, even if they don't have express permission to do so.
We'd all be living in a hellscape of terrible web experiences if everyone waited for their CEO to get on board with a concept after reading some watered-down Forbes article about accessibility/performance/UX/responsive design/design systems/etc. Teams have to do what they can to create great experiences, and sometimes that means taking a calculated risk to move forward with a plan that isn't officially sanctioned.
Of course it's far preferable to to go through official channels and have your boss's and stakeholders' full support. However, selling certain strategies, best practices, or technologies may fall on deaf ears. "We've been trying to convince our stakeholders for years to do it this way! The whole team is on board but we haven't been able to secure funding/resources/time to do it." In those instances, rather than throwing their hands up and resigning themselves to a future of sub-par work, I think it's important to find creative ways to make great work happen.
There's a difference between a boss expressly saying "no" to something then doing it anyways, and pursuing a (not expressly approved) course of action as part of practicing your craft. The former is a jerk move that puts the project and team in jeopardy (see also, Leeeeeeeroy Jenkiiins). The latter is, in my view, sometimes a necessity in order to set a project up for success.
And I also there's a difference between something that has obvious, visible consequences for the user experience (such as responsive design) and things that are procedural in nature (such as making a pattern library).
In my advocacy for creating design systems, I argue that creating a pattern library is more a mental shift in how the team works rather than a separate thing that has big ramifications on scope and budget.
You have a decision to make: focus solely on creating the whole while ignoring the parts, or spend some time organizing the parts to help you more efficiently create the whole.
When offering advice, be careful how it's offered.
I absolutely agree that the delivery of advice like this is crucial to how it's interpreted. I obviously think it's a bad idea to advise people to recklessly defy their boss, go rogue, and damn the consequences. A lifetime's worth of Catholic guilt weighing down on me makes me super uneasy about breaking or even bending the rules.
I also feel we have a responsibility to move things forward. I feel a certain duty to help empower teams to strategically move forward, even in the face of some pretty serious risk aversion. I personally love helping teams cut through red tape, circumvent bureaucracy, and take lemons and make some serious lemonade. So no, I don't think we should refrain from advising people to pursue industry best practices even when their bosses aren't on board. The trick is do so in a thoughtful, strategic, and responsible way.

Apollo Hospitals Group readies higher dose of telemedicine
Set for launch next month, the platform will enable a user (a patient) to consult with the hospital's panel of doctors anytime and anywhere in the world over video conferencing. A user needs to log on to the portal, upload the clinical test reports and chose the doctor of his/her choice to seek advice.
"We are one of the pioneers on the telemedicine technology, when we launched this way back in 2000. Now, we are taking to its next phase, when we don't need to set up physical telemedicine stations. It is a cloud-based system which will provide virtual doctors anytime, who would consult the patients over video conferencing system embedded in it," said Sangita Reddy, executive director of the Group.
A 'virtual' team of doctors and nurses would be based at the medical call centre attached to any of its chain of hospitals. They will be backed by executives of a decision support group (DSS). The moment a patient logs on, DSS executives will engage with them to understand the concern areas and brief the doctors so that they will be able to ask the right question to the patients. The DSS team will also advise the patients if they are required to consult a specialist or to visit the hospitals in person. And, since it is a web-based application, the specialist doctors can log on from anywhere, using the password given to them.

Suur Munamägi's spruce-fir forest disappearing due to beetle infestation

The bark beetle infestation has severely damaged the century-old spruce-fir stand of Suur Munamägi, the highest point in Estonia and the Baltic states, which is located in the southeast corner of Estonia. There is no alternative but awaiting the natural regeneration of the forest.
Suur Munamägi is Estonians' pride, offering breathtaking views even on cloudy days. However, this beauty is now severely damaged by the bark beetle, which destroys and thins the forest.
Kaili Viilma, head of the Nature Management Department at the Environment Board, confirmed that the Suur Munamägi spruce-fir forest is rapidly dying.
"It is a mature spruce that is nearing the end of its biological life cycle, located on warm soil and exposed to the sun; all of this makes it an easy target for woodworms [bark beetle]. Due to the damage, these spruces are now rapidly dying. We will no longer be able to intervene in this process or take action," Viilma said.
Ivar Sibula, forestry specialist at the Estonian University of Life Sciences (EMU), said that the most routine course of action is to cut down withered spruce trees.

"Insects that are beneficial to the forest and are the spruce beetle's adversaries inhabit these dead trees. And if we remove the trees from the forest now, we will further reduce the population of these insects, allowing the spruce beetle to cause even greater damage to the forest," Sibul said.
Viilma said that a decision on how to support the park when it begins to regenerate will be made in the coming weeks.
"We are considering, for example, the harvesting of trees, how much and by what means to dispose of dead wood, and whether we could help this natural regeneration, perhaps by active maintenance techniques, etc.," Viilma said.
Looking ahead, one of the solutions to the problem, Sibula said, is to plant mixed forests.
"This gives chances for other forest species and habitats, and as we know, the spruce beetle's natural enemies, whether predatory insects or parasitic organisms, keep the spruce beetle population in the wild under control," Sibul said.

\section{Introduction}
\par\noindent In it\rq s most generic form, the persistence problem is concerned
 with the fraction of space
which persists in its initial $(t=0)$ state up to some later time
$t$. It is a classic problem which falls into the general class of
so-called \lq first passage\rq\ problems [1] and has been
extensively studied over the past decade or so for model spin
systems by physicists [2-6]. Persistence has been investigated at both
zero [2-5] and non-zero [6] temperatures.
\par\noindent Typically, in the non-equilibrium dynamics of spin systems
 at zero-temperature [2-5],
 the system is prepared initially in a random state and the fraction of
spins, $P(t)$, that persists in the same state as at $t=0$ up to
some later time $t$ is monitored. At a finite temperature, on the
other hand, one is interested in the global persistence behaviour
and one monitors the change in the sign of the magnetization in a
collection of non-interacting systems [6]. It is now well established
that the persistence probability decays algebraically [2-6]
$$ P(t)\sim t^{-\theta (d,q)},\eqno(1)$$
where $\theta (d,q)$ is the non-trivial persistence exponent.
Note that the value of $\theta$ depends not only on the spatial [4]
($d$) and the spin [7] ($q$) dimensionalities, but also on whether the
temperature, $T$, is zero or finite. It is only for $T=0$ and $d=1$
that $\theta (1,q)$ is known exactly [5]; see Ray [8] for a recent review.
We merely mention here that at criticality, $T=T_c$, [6], $\theta (2,2)\sim 0.5 $ for the
pure two-dimensional Ising model.
\par\noindent More recently it has been discovered that disorder [9-11] also alters the
persistence behaviour. A key finding [9-10, 12] is the appearance of \lq
blocking\rq\ in systems containing disorder. \lq Blocked\rq\ spins
are effectively isolated from the behaviour of the rest of the
system in the sense that they {\it never} flip. As a result,
$P(\infty)>0$. \par The persistence exponent has also been obtained
from a wide range of experimental systems and the values range from
0.19 - 1.02, depending on the system [13-15]. A considerable amount of
time and effort has been taken up in trying to obtain estimates of
$\theta (d,q)$ for different models and systems.
\par\noindent In this work, we present one of the first estimates of the
persistence exponent from financial data from the Japanese market.
The main motivation behind the present study is to compare and
contrast the behaviour of the Japanese and UK markets. It was
recently [16] found that the persistence behaviour of the London
market displays an interesting double power law behaviour. As we
shall see, we find very similar features in the Japanese market.
\par\noindent In the next section we give a brief outline of the methodology
used. Section III presents our results and we finish with a brief
conclusion in Section IV.
\section{Methodology}
Financial markets contain many of the features found in model
systems that have been studied over the past 50 years or so in
statistical physics. For example, share values of most banks would
tend to move in the same direction if the central bank rate is
raised or reduced. This behaviour is analagous to the tendency of
spins connected by a ferromagnetic coupling to align themselves at
low temperature. Market behaviour analagous to antiferromagnetic
coupling is also seen in real markets. For example, the above news
regarding the central bank rate would have the opposite effect on
the values of shares in manufacturing companies. Furthermore,
interactions between different companies exist and are highly
non-trivial to model. In our data analysis we make no
attempt to model these interactions. We simply work with historical
data from the Nikkei Index from 2002. \par\noindent The pre-processed financial datatset
was kindly supplied to us by T. Kaizoji and L. Pichl (International Christian
University, Tokyo, Japan). For the purposes of this study we
extracted end-of-day (EOD) data from the database to enable a direct
comparison with the earlier study made with the data from the London
FTSE100 market [16].
\par As mentioned, we work with EOD share prices quoted in Japanese
yens. We follow the earlier work on the London market and map the
share values onto Ising spins. The dataset for 2002 was first
partitioned into quarterly data (Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep,
Oct-Dec). In figure 1 we display the behaviour of the share values
of 3 typical companies over a randomly chosen quarter. The share values are in Japanese
Yen. The dashed lines indicate the respective share values at $t=0$. In this work we restrict ourselves to the first passage time, that is the first time a given share value crosses it\rq s
value at $t=0$.
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics{timeseries.eps}
\caption{The time series of the share values of 3 typical companies making up the Nikkei Index. The
three dashed horizontal lines indicate the respective share values at $t=0$.
The top plot (a) indicates that the share value remains below the \lq base\rq\ price for the duration
of the quarter considered. In the middle plot (b) the time at which the share value returns to the base price for the first time is
indicated by the first arrow. Similarly, the arrows in the bottom plot (c) indicate the first 4 times at which the share value returns to the price at $t=0$.}
\end{figure}
\par The start of each quarter is designated as \lq Day 0\rq\ and
the share values take on their \lq Base values\rq\ . The share
values at the end of trading on the next day (\lq Day 1\rq\ ) are
compared with the corresponding base values. A spin $S_i(t)$ is
associated with each share value $i$. We allocate the values as
follows
$$S_i(t)=\left\{
                \begin{array}{ll}
                  +1, & \hbox{if Base price $\le$ EOD price on day 1 ;} \\
                  -1, & \hbox{if Base price $>$ EOD price on day 1 .}
                \end{array}
              \right.\eqno(2)$$
Table 1 shows a typical mapping.
\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
  \hline

  {Day} & {$t$} & {EOD value} & {$S_i(t)$} \\ \hline
   0 & - & 257 & Base price  \\ \hline
   1 & 0 & 239 & -1\\ \hline
   2 & 1 & 228 & -1\\ \hline
   3 & 2 & 235 & -1 \\ \hline
   4 & 3 & 245 & +1 \\
  \hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{A typical example of the mapping used. Note that the value of $S_i(t)$
is determined with reference to the price at $t=0$.}
\label{spinvalues}
\end{table}
\par
It should be emphasised
that the value of the spin is always with reference to the
share value at $t=0$ and {\it not} the EOD price at the previous day.
Consequently, in this work we disregard all fluctuations which take
place during the day. In our example in Table 1, the spin has \lq
flipped\rq\ at $t=3$. The values of $\{S_i(t=0); 1\le i\le 225\}$
form the initial configuration for our spin system. Each 3-monthly
dataset is converted into possible values of Ising spins, $S_i(t)$
with the share values at $t=0$ as the reference prices. This allows us to
track the share values relative to their prices at $t=0$. In figure 1 the
first passage time is indicated by the first arrow for any given share. Subsequent
arrows indicate the second (and later) passage times.

\par To complete the analogy with the persistence problem as studied
in statistical physics, we look for the {\it first time} $S_i(t)\ne
S_i(t=0)$ as this corresponds to the underlying share value either
going above (if $S_i(t)=+1$) or below (if $S_i(t)=-1$) the
price at $t=0$ , also for the first time. For an anlysis of the first passage properties, all subsequent values of $S_i(t)$
are disregarded.
\par At each time
step, we count the number of spins that still remain in their
initial $(t=0)$ state and the total number of spins, $n(t)$, which
have never flipped until time $t$ is given by [12]
$$n(t) =\sum_i (S_i(t)S_i(0)+1)/2.\eqno(3)$$
The density of non-flipping spins, $R(t)$, is the key measure of
interest here, namely
$$ R(t) = n(t)/N,\eqno(4)$$
where $N=225$, the number of companies appearing in the Nikkei
Index. [In the actual analysis discussed in this paper, we had to work with $N=224$ as the
share values of one of the constituent companies of the Nikkei Index were not quoted due to some financial irregularity.]
\section{Results}
We now discuss our main results. Figure 2 shows a log-log plot of
the density of non-flipping spins against time. The data has been
averaged over all of the samples.
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics{persistence-3.eps}
\caption{A log-log plot of $R(t)$ against $t$ for the Japanese data. We can clearly see the appearance of a double power law with the
presence of a distinctive \lq shoulder\rq\ . The inset shows the corresponding plot for the data from the London market [16]. The line with slope
$-1.5$ is for reference purposes only and is the exact result in $1$ dimension for a symmetric random walk.}
\end{figure}
\par We can clearly see the presence of a double
power law with a distinctive \lq shoulder\rq\ . Whereas for short times we estimate the slope to be $-0.29(8)$, for longer times we find $-0.47(6)$. For information we also display the corresponding plot [16] from the London FTSE100 data as an inset in figure 2. In the earlier analysis of the London data [16] it was found that the short-time (typically up to about a week) persistence exponent is $\sim 0.36(4)$ and for longer times it\rq s $\sim
0.49(1)$. Note that as here we are averaging over only 4 samples with the Nikkei data, the error-bars are much bigger than those obtained for the London data which was averaged over 25 samples. Nevertheless, the plot confirms that the behaviour of the Japanese data is consistent with that seen on the London FTSE100
market. A financial market contains different types of traders. There are usually both short-term (speculative) and long-term traders. Clearly, those traders
speculating on the market are likely to react over a much shorter time scale than those trading for the long-haul. The double power law discovered in our analysis could be a signature of the presence of both types of traders. Of course, in addition, there are intraday traders hoping to make a profit by trading at even higher frequency (eg hourly). As we work with EOD data, we do not expect to see the behaviour of such traders in our data. Both the Japanese Nikkei and the London FTSE100 markets are well developed and yield very similar features.
\par We note that the corresponding global persistence exponent for
a one-dimensional symmetric random walk is given from [1]
$$R(t)=\left\{
                \begin{array}{lll}
                  t^{d/2-2}, & d < 2 \\
                  {1\over {t\ln^2t}}, & d=2 \\
                  t^{-d/2}. & d > 2
                \end{array}
              \right.\eqno(5)$$
\par\noindent For reference, the value of the exponent for the $1d$ case is shown in figure 2. Clearly, from our data we can exclude such a model.
\section{Conclusion}
To conclude we have used a novel mapping to map EOD share values on
the Nikkei Index onto Ising spins. The mapping can be re-interpreted in term of the first passage crossing time. We find clear
evidence for a double power law decay with different exponents for
short and long time behaviour. Our observation is consistent with
the recent findings on the London FTSE100 market. We suggest that the double-power is the signature of the presence of different types of traders
in the market. Namely, traders speculating on a daily basis and those taking a long-term view. It would be interesting to see whether the presence of really \lq high frequency\rq\ intraday traders can be deduced from minute-by-minute tick data.

"I found a beautiful Siberian Husky online. The lady said $800.00 For the puppy, and $200.00 For shipping, I sent a total $1100, then I received a email from Express Expedia, asking for $2500 For insurance on puppy, I told the woman I don't have any more money, but I would just drive to Ohio and pick up the puppy. She said she would take care of it, and I will need to send her the refund back when puppy is delivered. But no puppy came. Then she said she only sent $1500 but the puppy is at my airport and I have to send the remaining $1000 to get him delivered. There is no puppy, I just got scammed."
"I found a picture of a Husky puppy for sale on craigslist and I emailed the seller. He said there were 2 more puppies. He would sell one for $150.00. After a week of emailing back and forth I decided to buy the female puppy. He asked me to send money Western Union and he gave me the information. After I sent the money he called and told me the puppy would be delivered to my home at 7:00 in the morning. I was so excited that night and let my kids know. We could not sleep. Right before 7:00am he called and said he needed $1,200.00 for insurance and it was refundable when the puppy was delivered. I was not told about the insurance from the beginning and I knew something was up. I emailed him and told him that I knew he was scamming me and I couldn't understand how he could make a living playing with good people's emotions. I am so embarrassed. I feel so stupid."

I shopped on line for over 2 weeks. found add for $600.00 The sweetest brown & white puppy. I knew this was the puppy for me. He emailed me back that Ela was a available. Instructed me how to pay. I wired the money thru money gram at walmarts He said he had started the paper work. would have puppy ready for shipping when I mailed the receipt.(I Did so)this was 9:30 AM at 1:40 Pm said dropped off to carriers (Spring Water International Pet Couriers) At 5:30 Pm I called him said I did not hear from anyone for shipping. I than received E mail that the shipping create was not OK for cold weather, that I would have to buy a create for $690,00- to $940.00. I called him said I couldn't pay any more money. He ask if I could pay half. I told him "you said free shipping" I know now that there was no dog and the shipping was a scam. I believed-- I fell in love with a picture and lost $600.00. I have since looked up scams. This was red flags all the way. Please look at all the negative reviews before sending $"
"This is about a cat, but I also found the person trying to sell huskies as well. They posted on craigslist Atlanta for British shorthair lilac kittens, which are rare and expensive. They gave a text number to contact, 281-783-4127. They said that they had relocated to another state because of a terminal illness (aaaannk buzzer warnin) but would be willing to ship the kitten. The telephone number was not from the state that they said they left in, either. Upon further digging I asked for more pictures, i was given pictures of a litter born across the Atlantic Ocean in another country when I did a reverse search. They also wanted a deposit to be sent money gram and refused to do PayPal goods and services or a credit card at this point I knew it was a scam and reported to craigslist, but just be aware this person is probably still out there. They were trying to sell husky pups about eight months earlier same phone number same sob story. They also insisted upon knowing our home address and a whole lot of information that was a relevant at that point, which I did not give. Beware!"
"My husband and I found finest tea cup Shih Tzu puppies in Plano, Texas. They wanted 500.00 wired through Western Union which is a red flag my husband picked up on. We wired the money. They said pups were half price because they were going on a RELIGIOUS MISSION in England in 2 months. They made me take pics of the receipts. They said the puppy would fly out the next day. Sunday. Few weeks ago. On the Pilots Cabin! Well, bamm. federal regulations as we On the USA know that can't happen. Doors locked no one allowed. Hello?! We then contacted the airport which only serves direct flights from west jet air on Sundays. There were no flights. I checked out BBB in Plano, Texas. Another man fell prey to same scam only the West jet air contacted them wanting 1910.00 dollars to fly the pup when I was all inclusive as we see told. We contacted Western Union and were told by our tracking number they didn't pick up the money So she stopped it and were given a refund number up the street we went and got our money. I then spent the weekend filing fraud reports. We didn't lose our money. The other man did not pay 1910.00 but lost the 550.00. Extra 50 for puppy delivery My husband then played a trick on them from his email. That he wanted 2 pups as their were 10 and he lived in Dallas 35 min away and worked as a Correctional Officer. We said that because they wanted to know initially what our jobs were. We picked a good one. We could pick up pups next day, never heard back. We proceeded to email telling them we really wanted our pups. They emailed back that they were going to a SEMINAR for a few days and for him to STAY PUT. Lesson learned. PayPal is the way most reputable breeders go. Pups don't fly with the crew or pilots. Paperwork needs to be processed to fly a puppy and that takes a bit of time. Luckily we got our money. The police in Plano, Texas that I filed an online report with never returned my call. My husband thinks they're located possibly out of the country due to Western Union and the way the scam played out was bogus. Someone picks the money up anywhere in the world. Nigerians use Western Union because it can't be tracked as long as they have ID. They get their money anywhere. I suggest using AKC website and PayPal. I am saying BEWARE. People can post cute little puppys from anywhere. So you work to become a detective. I looked up the address in Plano, Texas and MacDonalds popped up. Now I wait for a pup in my state found on AKC site. BUYER BEWARE FINEST TEA CUP SHIH TZU PUPPYS. PLANO TEXAS. REMEMBER THE TEST AMINIALS WRITTEN CAN BE WRITTEN BY ANYONE. We now wait for our pup to be born from a breeder in our state."


In the last time I had a little problem on my laptop with VMware Workstation 9 which cooperates with Windows 7 Professional. As I use Acronis True Image for backup and the instant system restore, I decided to turn off the event log service. I really don't need this service now, because each problem is solved by my backup, which is much more effective than looking for an issue in a logfile. Moreover I have a SSD drive and I want to reduce I/O operations as well.
However I had problem with my vmnet network in my virtual machines. I have a NAT virtual network in my Workstation for my VMs. When I used two VMs at the same time, these VMs had problems with their network. The network didn't work because the routing wasn't working and VMs didn't have an access to the gateway interface. Sometimes the problem occurred after a hibernation process, sometimes after turn on a secondary VM when a primary was turned on already or vice versa. It was the very random problem as you can see.
I thought the problem was in VMware Workstation – I changed a virtual network configuration many times but it didn't help me finally.

07 February 2023 In Drinking Patterns
BACKGROUND: Most of the available epidemiological evidence on alcohol and chronic disease agrees on recommending alcohol abstention to young people, but some controversy exists about the most appropriate recommendation for alcohol abstention for people of older ages. A growing body of evidence suggests that the pattern of alcohol consumption is likely to be a strong effect modifier. The Mediterranean Alcohol Drinking Pattern (MADP) represents a score integrating several dimensions of drinking patterns (moderation, preference for red wine, drinking with meals, and avoiding binge drinking). Our aim was to clarify this issue and provide more precise recommendations on alcohol consumption.
METHODS: We prospectively followed-up 2226 participants (men older than 50 years and women older than 55 years at baseline) in the Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra (SUN) cohort. We classified participants into three categories of adherence to the MADP score (low, moderate, and high), and we added a fourth category for abstainers. Cox regression models estimated multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HR) of all-cause death and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using low MADP adherence as the reference category. RESULTS: The strongest reduction in risk of mortality was observed for those with high adherence to the MADP, with an HR of 0.54 (95% CI: 0.37-0.80). The moderate adherence group (HR = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.44-0.96) and the abstention group (HR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.36-0.98) also exhibited lower risks of mortality than the low MADP adherence group.
CONCLUSIONS: based on the available evidence, a public health message can be provided to people older than 50 years as follows: among those who drink alcohol, high adherence to the MADP score could substantially reduce their risk of all-cause mortality.
07 February 2023 In General Health
BACKGROUND: Gut microbiota profiles are closely related to cardiovascular diseases through mechanisms that include the reported deleterious effects of metabolites, such as trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), which have been studied as diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Moderate red wine (RW) consumption is reportedly cardioprotective, possibly by affecting the gut microbiota.
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of RW consumption on the gut microbiota, plasma TMAO, and the plasma metabolome in men with documented coronary artery disease (CAD) using a multiomics assessment in a crossover trial. METHODS: We conducted a randomized, crossover, controlled trial involving 42 men (average age, 60 y) with documented CAD comparing 3-wk RW consumption (250 mL/d, 5 d/wk) with an equal period of alcohol abstention, both preceded by a 2-wk washout period. The gut microbiota was analyzed via 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing. Plasma TMAO was evaluated by LC-MS/MS. The plasma metabolome of 20 randomly selected participants was evaluated by ultra-high-performance LC-MS/MS.
The effect of RW consumption was assessed by individual comparisons using paired tests during the abstention and RW periods. RESULTS: Plasma TMAO did not differ between RW intervention and alcohol abstention, and TMAO concentrations showed low intraindividual concordance over time, with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.049 during the control period.
After RW consumption, there was significant remodeling of the gut microbiota, with a difference in beta diversity and predominance of Parasutterella, Ruminococcaceae, several Bacteroides species, and Prevotella. Plasma metabolomic analysis revealed significant changes in metabolites after RW consumption, consistent with improved redox homeostasis. CONCLUSIONS: Modulation of the gut microbiota may contribute to the putative cardiovascular benefits of moderate RW consumption. The low intraindividual concordance of TMAO presents challenges regarding its role as a cardiovascular risk biomarker at the individual level. This study was registered at clinical trials.gov as NCT03232099.
1-2 Drinks Per Day Affect Lipoprotein Composition after 3 Weeks-Results from a Cross-Over Pilot Intervention Trial in Healthy Adults Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance-Measured Lipoproteins and Apolipoproteins
07 February 2023 In Cardiovascular System
Alcohol consumption ranging from 1-2 drinks/day associates with a lower risk of coronary heart disease in some studies.
The underlying mechanisms are unclear. The Metabolic Imprints of Alcoholic Beverages (MetAl) trial aimed to explore the short-term effects of moderate alcohol consumption on cardiovascular biomarkers. A 2 x 3-week cross-over single-blinded intervention trial investigating the effect of 1-2 drinks/day (~12-24 g) compared with abstention on (1)H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance-measured main lipoproteins and subfractions was performed in 26 healthy adults.
Volunteers were classified as occasional or habitual drinkers based on their habitual alcohol intakes (/=2 drinks/week).
Compared with abstention, 1-2 drinks/day increased HDL(2a)-C (p = 0.004), HDL(3)-C (p = 0.008), and HDL non-significantly (p = 0.19).
Total apoA1 and apoA1 in HDL and its subfractions increased (p < 0.05). Novel findings were a decreased apoB/apoA1 ratio (p = 0.02), and increased HDL(2a) phospholipid content (p = 0.04). In women alone, the results were similar but attenuated, and LDL-P decreased. Thus, changes in apoA1- and HDL-related biomarkers occur within weeks in moderate drinkers. Compared with abstention, 1-2 drinks/day increased total apoA1 more strongly than HDL-C and increased the cholesterol, apoA1, and phospholipid content of several HDL subfractions.
Whether this provides a cardiovascular benefit requires further study. Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT03384147.
Alcohol Intake as a Risk Factor for Acute Stroke: The INTERSTROKE Study
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: There is uncertainty about the association between alcohol consumption and stroke, particularly for low-moderate intake. We explored these associations in a large international study. METHODS: INTERSTROKE, a case-control study, is the largest international study of risk factors for acute stroke. Alcohol consumption was self-reported and categorized by drinks/week as low (1-7), moderate (7-14 for females and 7-21 for males), or high (>14 for females and >21 for males).
Heavy episodic drinking (HED) was defined as >5 drinks on >/=1 day per month. Multivariable conditional logistic regression was used to determine associations. RESULTS: We included 12,913 cases and 12,935 controls; 25.0% (n = 6,449) were current drinkers, 16.7% (n = 4,318) former drinkers, and 58.3% (n = 15,076) never drinkers. Current drinkers were younger, male, smokers, active, and with higher-paid occupations. Current drinking was associated with all stroke (OR 1.14; 95% CI 1.04-1.26) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.21-1.84) but not ischemic stroke (OR 1.06; 95% CI 0.95-1.19).
HED pattern was associated with all stroke (OR 1.39; 95% CI 1.21-1.59), ischemic stroke (OR 1.29; 95% CI 1.10-1.51), and ICH (OR 1.76; 95% CI 1.31-2.36). High level of alcohol intake was consistently associated with all stroke, ischemic stroke, and ICH. Moderate intake was associated with all stroke and ICH but not ischemic stroke. Low alcohol intake was not associated with stroke overall, but there were regional differences; low intake was associated with reduced odds of stroke in Western Europe/North America (OR 0.66; 95% CI 0.45-0.96) and increased odds in India (OR 2.18; 95% CI 1.42-3.36) (p-interaction 0.037). Wine consumption was associated with reduced odds of all stroke and ischemic stroke but not ICH. The magnitudes of association were greatest in those without hypertension and current smokers.
DISCUSSION: High and moderate intake were associated with increased odds of stroke, whereas low intake was not associated with stroke. However, there were important regional variations, which may relate to differences in population characteristics of alcohol consumers, types or patterns of consumption.


The VB Blues' usual starting prop had limited game time in 2016, but James Tamou put his best foot forward no matter where he played.
Tamou, who had started nine of his 11 Origins to date in the front row, played just one there this year, with coach Laurie Daley mixing up his role in creating the team's go-forward. Following some solid club form and an outstanding performance for the Kangaroos in the trans-Tasman Test, the 27-year-old was named on the bench for the first Origin encounter, before a last-minute switch with Greg Bird saw him start at lock. Tamou didn't set the world on fire in this position, but his 81 metres and 23 tackles from 31 minutes were solid nonetheless.
The North Queensland Cowboy returned to his more familiar role in the second game, but managed just 34 metres from two short stints in the front row. Moved back to the bench for the VB Blues' victorious Game III, Tamou had his best performance yet, with 10 runs in just 26 minutes amounting to 85 metres.
A move to the Penrith Panthers for the 2017 season will be vital to Tamou's Origin chances, where he will line up against fellow NSW hopefuls Trent Merrin, Bryce Cartwright and backs Matt Moylan and Josh Mansour. He might not have had his best season in 2016, but expect a change of scenery to reinvigorate the big prop as he looks to perform for his new club.

What would Keith Richards wear to a wedding?
The boys come by their influences honestly: Head designer Sammy Fayed, along with his brothers Liam and James, who also work on the label, grew up working at Turnbull & Asser, the 125-year-old British shirtmaker that their dad acquired when the boys were young tots. These days, the fellas live a decidedly rock 'n' roll lifestyle; they even met their Bespoken partners (Carlos and Paul Goncalves, also brothers) through a Craigslist ad looking for bandmates. What's more, the invitation to the Bespoken presentation arrived on a 7-inch record, featuring tracks from Sammy's band, Bigsby Knowles. Because, as the boys know, rock 'n' roll will never die – and neither will the fine art of British tailoring.

The 60s in Brazil. The Tropicalia movement developed around the highly conceptual art of Lygia Clark and Helio Oiticica and incorporated music (Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil), film (Glauber Rocha), and poetry (Augusto + Haroldo de Campos). Though the movement did not explicitly fall into line with the orthodox Left, its energy and vitality, the pleasure in shrill spectacles, and the increasing emphasis on participatory art were mainly directed against the oppressive years of Brazil's military regime. The exhibition presents a historical cross-section of the variety of works brought forth in that short summer of anarchy in the arts and reveals the creative impulse prompted by Tropicalia in the production of contemporary Brazilian artists such as Rivane Neuenschwander or Ernesto Neto.
Curated by Thomas Miessgang
What is new today may be dead tomorrow. Down with prejudice. Art and culture are a totality. A new aesthetics. A new morality. Communicate by polemics. We have left the Stone Age behind. We have entered the Age of Throwing Stones.
From the article "Marginalia" in the magazine "O Cruzeiro," 1968
The present moment, the now, is the only tangible reality that still communicates something today.
Tropicália was born from the spirit of the Manifesto Antropófago (Cannibal Manifesto) written by the modernist poet Oswald de Andrade in the 1920s: it dealt with the devouring of foreign cultures, the critical appropriation of art, music and fashion trends from the "First" World, and a concept of hybridity which forged a specific aesthetical meta Brazilianism from particles and fragments of cultural artifacts. "Cannibalism is the only thing that joins us. Socially. Economically. Philosophically," wrote de Andrade. Tropicália was a new critical language (of art) which intervened on the level of everyday communication and used the possibilities of modern mass communication. Television allowed singers like Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, who considered themselves part of the movement, to become mouthpieces of an artistic attitude rejecting the "import of a prepacked and ready for use consciousness" (de Andrade).
"The myth of Tropicalism is much more than just parrots and banana trees," says Hélio Oiticica, the epoch's leading Brazilian artist, in one of his numerous programmatic texts. For the people living in precarious situations, the energy and vitality, the pleasure in shrill spectacle, and the opening of the field of cultural activity were – without being explicitly political – mainly directed against the oppressive years of the Brazilian military regime which had made an end to comparatively democratic conditions with a coup in 1964. The cultural activists countered the dictatorship's monotony and monochromy with the country's rich cultural diversity, which was reassessed aesthetically in a manifold, often ambiguous manner. The aim was to fight "the silly dream and myth of a second hand technocracy" with creativity, as the important theater director José Celso Martinez de Corrêa put it.
This anything but pleased the orthodox Left, which saw its wooden world view threatened and rejected Tropicalism as a reactionary, regressive form of art: the artists, musicians, filmmakers, theater people, and poets who identified with the idea, however, did not offer simple ideological solutions, but rather strove to undermine the official version of Brazilian culture, which maintained a unity in diversity that had never existed that way. Haroldo de Campos, a key figure of concrete poetry in Brazil, alleged that Tropicalism was about a "dialogical and dialectical connection with the universal."
Operating across boundaries of genre and style, Tropicalism relied on allegorical impulses, contradictions, and paradoxical juxtapositions that defied a one dimensional understanding. "I was never interested in drawing after nature," said Antonio Dias, who also numbered among those who were crucial in making Tropicália what it was, "I was always concerned with the inner being, the psyche, with man's political nature." It was above all Hélio Oiticica who proved an important conceptualist and practitioner of an aesthetics directed toward overcoming the separation of art and life. After the formal rigorism of concrete and neo concrete art prevailing in Brazil in the 1950s, the Tropicalistas established an "anti art" which was not focused on representation and the object but on creating situations and contexts for collective behavioral experiments.
Art was to be an experimental exercise toward freedom and to transform the individual's perception through sensory practices. "The avant garde phenomenon in Brazil is no longer the affair of an isolated elite, but a wide cultural subject with social effects aimed at collective solutions. " (Hélio Oiticica) With key works such as Hélio Oiticica's Tropicália or Glauber Rocha's film Terra em Transe as well as important workgroups by Nelson Leirner, Rubens Gerchman, Antonio Dias, Anna Maria Maiolino, and Lygia Pape, the exhibition presents a historical cross section of the variety brought forth in that short summer of anarchy in the arts. The show also documents how the creative impulse of Tropicália has continued to exercise its impact on the work of (exiled) Brazilian artists like Ernesto Neto, Rivane Neuenschwander, or Cao Guimarães until today.
