Q: jquery animate left percentage off I am trying to move an image (its a picture of a map) inside its container so a specific part of the image(a city) is in the center of its container when a div is clicked.  I have this working but the percentage that the image moves to the left is less than what I specify while top works fine.
map is the image container and map-img is the image, bad names I am sorry.

Mepkin Plantation

Biggins Church

JQUERY
$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".tooltipper").click(function(){
        if ($(this).attr('id')==='mepkin'){
            $("#map-img").animate({top: '-47.8%', left: '-10.8%'});
        }else if ($(this).attr('id')==='biggins'){
            $("#map-img").animate({top: '3.07%', left: '3.70%'});

    });
    $("#getalertbutton").click(function(){
        var position = $('#map-img').position();
        var percentLeft = position.left/$(window).width() * 100;
        var percentTop = position.top/$(window).height() *100;
        alert("top: "+percentTop+"   "+"left: "+percentLeft);
    }
});

When I use the alert to get the percentage that map-img has moved it returns:
Mepkin
top: -47.79
left: -7.88
Biggins
top:-3.069
left:2.69
Since 73% of 10.8 is 7.88 I know that the percentage of the  #map container is the culprit, but I do not know what to do to fix this problem.

A: Work out the percentage? e.g.
 $("#map-img").animate({top: '-47.8%', left: '-'+Math.round((10.8/73)*100)+'%'});


Fully concur darlojim. Cant have him on anything.
We entered Might Bite for the Betfair Chase at Haydock on Saturday and hope that Nico De Boinville will be fit to ride, but in the event that he is not passed fit by the doctor, we have taken the provisional measure and booked Noel Fehily to take the reins if necessary.
I've never seen him jump so well and, barring mishap, the intention is very much to run.
A better jockey regardless, much as I like Nico.
Be interesting to see how Politologue gets on over 3m1f in the Betfair Chase this weekend. I wouldn't go near him at 33's with the bookies for this but if he stays the trip then the 180's currently available on the exchange would make for a decent enough back to lay play.
It would but he dosent run ?? Goes to ascot.??

Is it possible to set a schedule for the relay expansion? I set up my onion with a usb web cam and a relay to control a light in my chicken coop and would like to schedule the light.
@Jason-Hamlett Not sure whether or not I understand you right, but my suggestion would be to set up a command (e.g. shell script etc.) of what you want to run on a scheduled basis. Then use crontab to schedule the running of this command according to your required schedule.
See https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/cron and other references therein for documentation on use of crontab and cron files for running scheduled jobs.
@Jason-Hamlett Hi, given that you have code to toggle the light on and off, it should be relatively straightforward to set crontab entry/entries to toggle on and off according to your schedule. Let me know if you want any detailed advice on using crontab - I have used it regularly in the past.


A limited partner of the soon-to-be-extinct Miami Matadors minor-league hockey team accused the team's general partners of fraud after losing $500,000 in his investment in the club, according to a lawsuit filed Friday.
Robert Alterman, who had a 20 percent stake in the Matadors, alleges that Bob Snyder of Weston and Robert Davis of Dunwoody, Ga., are selling the team for "well below what Davis and Snyder represented to Alterman was the value of the team," the suit says.
Davis and Snyder are selling the team for $1.2million, the suit says. Alterman argues in his lawsuit that Davis and Snyder informed him that no team could be sold for less than $2million.
"If the sale is consummated, Davis and Snyder will lose little, if anything, and since they have been collecting salaries from the partnership they may actually come out ahead. Alterman will lose his entire investment of over $500,000," the lawsuit says.
Davis and Snyder also did not contribute $875,000 to the partnership as they said they did, according to the suit.
Snyder would not respond directly to the allegations. He said, "We recognize we have a disgruntled investor. We feel badly for Bob and hope he can get on with his life. It's always sad to see situations like this. But they eventually resolve themselves."
Snyder said he is selling the team to a Boston group, which plans to wait at least one season before resuming play in the East Coast Hockey League.
The Matadors play their final game Sunday in Naples.

Resetting the table
NJ rabbis lead a debate on kashrut and Reform Judaism
By Special to NJJN December 22, 2010, 12:00 am Edit
The Sacred Table: Creating a Jewish Food Ethic
SAN FRANCISCO — Kosher: It's the first word in the book. And tackling the "k" word head-on is part of what makes the first Reform guide to Jewish dietary practice so significant.
The Sacred Table: Creating a Jewish Food Ethic, to be published in December, uses an array of essays by Reform rabbis and activists to challenge Reform Jews to develop a conscious dietary practice grounded in Jewish values. Rabbi Mary Zamore, associate rabbi of Temple B'nai Or in Morristown, is the book's editor.
The Sacred Table is not shy about suggesting kashrut, both traditional and re-imagined.
"No longer an oxymoron, 'Reform kashrut' has entered the Jewish lexicon, although there is no consensus on what this means exactly," Rabbi Carole Balin, a Jewish history professor at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, writes in the book, which is being published by Central Conference of American Rabbis Press.
For a movement whose founding Pittsburgh Platform of 1885 rejected kosher laws along with other traditional Jewish rituals of dress and body as "entirely foreign" to modern sensibilities, the book represents a significant milestone in the development of Reform spirituality and practice.
It also illustrates the increased attention focused on kashrut across the denominational spectrum since the 2008 Agriprocessors scandal, which shuttered the nation's largest kosher slaughterhouse and spurred a rash of "ethical kosher" initiatives — from small, humane kosher meat operations to the Conservative movement's Magen Tzedek project, which certifies kosher food products that meet certain ethical standards.
'Continuing evolution'
In Reform circles over the past two years, conversation about kashrut and Jewish values has come from the grass roots, youth groups, and the pulpit. It's part of the movement's new readiness to examine once-discarded Jewish rituals for their spiritual potential, and the focus on kashrut comes within the context of heightened interest among Americans generally in the politics and morality of food production and distribution.
Some Reform leaders, including Zamore, want to play down the trendiness aspect.
"This is part of a continuum within Reform Judaism. It's not liberal Judaism becoming something different; it's that we continue to evolve," said Zamore, who pushed the project along for 13 years. "Here is a topic which for many Reform Jews was taboo or a non-starter. Now everywhere I go, people are talking about these topics as Reform Jews."
The Sacred Table opens with a discussion of the historical Reform approach to kashrut and includes an overview of traditional kosher laws, a first for an official Reform publication, according to Zamore.
It also includes chapters on each of the Jewish values that proponents of ethical kashrut embrace as they seek to broaden the traditional definition of the Jewish diet, from the ban on "tza'ar ba'alei hayim," or cruelty to animals, to preventing "oshek," or oppression of workers. It includes the results of a 2005 survey that showed increasing numbers of Reform synagogues, clergy, and lay leaders are keeping kosher, partially or entirely. And it ends with a guide that Reform congregations can use to develop their own communal dietary practice, which may or may not include kashrut.
Westfield resident Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president of the Union for Reform Judaism and a longtime advocate of bringing more Jewish ritual into Reform practice, said he was pleasantly surprised to see the book's forthright approach.
In the summer of 2009, while putting together his keynote speech for the movement's biennial conference, Yoffie said, he planned to suggest kashrut as a model for Reform dietary practice. But after running his speech by key Reform lay leaders, he heard so much pushback that he dropped the "k" word from the final initiative.
Called "Just Table, Green Table," the Reform platform for developing consciously Jewish food choices "is not about kashrut," Yoffie told biennial delegates as he unveiled the project last December.
He said he "wanted people to be open to the idea of Jewish sacred eating, and didn't want to touch an emotional chord that would prevent them from hearing that message."
Now, a year later, he says he finds it "fascinating" that the Reform rabbinical leadership has seized the reins.
"Our rabbinical body is coming out and unabashedly embracing the word kashrut, saying this is how we're framing the discussion, and we want people to struggle with it," Yoffie said.
The thrust of the book clearly favors broadening the definition of kashrut to include related Jewish ethical values, in keeping with longstanding Reform history.
"That is essential," Yoffie said. "There are those in our movement who will accept kashrut in the traditional sense, but the great majority will take elements of kashrut in a broader sense. They want to relate it to issues of ethics, community, and identity."
Still, the book does offer kashrut itself as a recommended practice, however adapted. That does not sit well with some Reform leaders, whose voices also appear in the book, however briefly.
One is Rabbi Joel Abraham of Temple Sholom in Scotch Plains, NJ, who writes that he does not keep kosher, opposing its power to separate Jews from non-Jews. He explains his position as a "moral choice based on my definition of Reform Judaism," and says he feels marginalized at Reform events that serve only kosher food. They may think they're being inclusive, Abraham writes, but in fact such meals exclude him and his beliefs.
Jewish ethical values about treating workers and animals well, and respecting the environment and one's own body, are all important to Reform as well as other Jews, he says.
"But we don't need to graft them onto kashrut," he said, acknowledging however that he is in a shrinking minority among Reform rabbis.
Rabbi Joshua Goldstein, who has led Temple Sha'arey Shalom in Springfield for nearly three decades, told NJJN that he doesn't see an increasing interest in kashrut among young families at his synagogue. Although he doesn't oppose kashrut per se, he was left scratching his head over the idea that it should become a central issue for the movement.
"I applaud my Reform brothers and sisters who are taking kashrut more seriously — sometimes for social justice reasons and not necessarily halachic reasons. But that does not necessarily resonate with some of my generation of Reform rabbis. People like me think our focus should be on Jewish learning, Jewish literacy, Israel, Zionism, and anti-Semitism in Iran. But we should not necessarily make healthy eating our raison d'etre."
But Rabbi Randi Musnitsky of Congregation Har Shalom in Warren was surprised at the backlash coming from some rabbis. She called the publication of the book "exciting" and said, "For me, kashrut has always been a part of being a Reform Jew. There are many Reform congregations and rabbis living by kashrut, as I have since before ordination. It's always been a part of Reform teaching."
Well, it hasn't always been. But the 1999 Pittsburgh Principles, drafted by Rabbi Richard Levy, then CCAR president, opened the door to kashrut in a new way. That publication for the first time suggested that ethical commands were no longer privileged over ritual commands.
The Sacred Table also contains essays by two other NJ rabbis, Douglas Sagal of Temple Emanu-El in Westfield and Joe Skloot, a resident of Westfield.
NJJN staff writer Johanna Ginsberg contributed to this article.

Brexit, Information Security and the European GDPR
Author: Dr Steven Winstanley, Security Consultant, Sapphire
The status quo means that the Data Protection Act 1998 remains in force and that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is still on track to be adopted in May 2018. Assuming GDPR fails to be implemented before a Brexit cut-off date, the UK government has the option to adopt the legislation or not. This adoption only means the protection of natural persons in the UK will be aligned with the principles of the European Union; and that this could demonstrate "adequate protection" to EEA (European Economic Area) citizens' data. The UK government could adopt a modified GDPR to remove some undesirable "anti-business" clauses, but this would then effect "adequate protection" of EEA citizens' data.
Adopting the GDPR does not mean that the free movement of such data will be automatically granted to the UK. With regards to the free movement of data between EU countries it would depend if the UK was a member of the EEA e.g. similar to Norway; or considered a "safe third country" providing adequate protection of EEA citizens' rights e.g. similar to Canada. If we fail both, then organisations would have to adopt "contract-based EU model clauses" or "binding corporate rules", (the latter being unlikely) e.g. similar to organisations in countries like India.
UK organisations operating in the EU will need to review their internal data transfers, terms of business, online operations and the territorial application of privacy laws.
EU/US Privacy Shield agreed last week will apply to EEA countries, but not to countries outside this zone. If the UK resides outside the EEA, then an EU/UK Privacy Shield could be created, but in the short-term it is more likely the UK would be considered a "safe third country".
In simple terms, how should an organisation form a strategy for information security with regards to the new GDPR regulation when considering Brexit? Under The GDPR Chapter 1) Article 3) Territorial Scope, it describes:
This Regulation applies to all organisations in the EEA, even if they are processing the data outside the EEA.
This Regulation applies to all organisations outside the EEA if they are offering any goods or services to persons in the EEA, or monitoring person's behaviour within the EEA
This means that IF you are handling EEA personal data AND doing EEA business; then you will be regulated under GDPR by a "supervisory authority" in the EEA. This would be on top of any data protection laws in the UK.
In summary, it is prudent for organisations to plan for the adoption of tighter privacy laws across all options; this being equivalent to GDPR compliance in May 2018. Organisations should review & update current administrative and technical controls. Most importantly under GDPR's accountability heading, organisations need to demonstrate information security compliance; and under GDPR's mandatory breach reporting requirement, solid detective controls need to be implemented.

New Jersey's tolerant tradition on corruption
By wallye • 07/12/07 9:03am
New Jerseyans are, for the most part, a tolerant people. After a federal jury found U.S. Senator Harrison Williams guilty on bribery and conspiracy charges in May 1981, the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University conducted a poll asking New Jerseyans whether Wiliams should resign. Nearly a third of the voters didn't seem to feel Williams' criminal conviction merited his removal from the United States Senate: 20% said he should not resign, and another 11% had no opinion at all. Williams remained in the Senate until March 1982, just before his colleagues were about to vote to expel him.

Lauren Jordan
Products Used: Clayton Custom Guitar Picks
"The quality I love most about Steve Clayton products is all the choices. When I really fell in love was when I started looking for a customizable option. As a style-obsessed musician, I was thrilled knowing I could FULLY customize my pick instead of being subjected to cheap lettering and tired clip art choices. I wanted a pick that not only gave me the sound and grip that I wanted, but was also a reflection of my personality. The black design on the white pearl creates an awesome 3-dimensional effect while the full-bleed allowance makes it look SO posh! I have clear vision of what I'm trying to achieve and Steve Clayton brings that into reality."
Based in Atlanta, Lauren's first gig, while still only a teenager, was at her church when they decided to offer a contemporary service. It didn't take long before the service grew to over a thousand people a week. Soon after, LJ started playing small gigs around town while attending university for Media Production. Eventually, the rehearsal schedule for the church became to large a commitment, so she started playing full time and never looked back! Finding inspiration in Stevie Nicks, Lzzy Hale, and Grace Potter, Lauren has gone on to open for Colin Hay and Pat Dinizio, and has played major events such as the Florida Music Festival and SXSW. LJ is currently performing around the Southeast (both as a solo artist and with her band, LJ3) while producing the video for her first single, "Shadow of a Stranger."

Free credit reports may reveal surprises
Sylvia Gallow-Vazquez was shocked earlier this year when she applied for a Discover credit card and was denied because of poor credit history. Her credit had been impeccable. She had never been denied a loan before. And she had never even been late on her bills, as far as she could remember.
Nov. 30, 2004, 11:11 PM UTC
By Bob Sullivan
The Tempe, Ariz. resident was hoping to use the card, which promised zero percent interest for 6 months, to pay for night school. But the denial put a hitch in her plans, and launched her into the maddening world of identity theft and credit reporting.
That kind of surprise credit denial is precisely the motivation for Congressionally-mandated free credit reports, which become available to some consumers beginning Wednesday at AnnualCreditReport.com. Federal law signed by President Bush last December required the nation's three credit bureaus to give consumers free access once a year to their credit report, an essential history of personal loans and other economic activity that's used by banks and other institutions to make lending decisions. Consumers are entitled to a free report once a year from each of three main agencies: Equifax, Experian and Trans Union.
Gallow-Vazquez's rejection notice from Discover was vague, indicating there were problems on her credit report. When she called Discover, she was told to contact credit reporting agencies and get a copy of her credit report.
When she did, she found herself stuck in the middle of an all-too-typical American consumer nightmare. The report was pock-marked with unpaid utility bills and loans, all taken out in Gallow-Vazquez's name by an imposter. There were even repeated attempts to buys cars and houses in her name. For almost two years, someone had been signing up for telephone, Internet, and electricity services, using her personal information. And now, she was left to clean up the mess. Without checking her credit report, she would never have known there was a problem.
"You still feel so vulnerable and so unprotected," Gallow-Vazquez, a Mexican immigrant who moved to Tempe 15 years ago, said. "It was a terrible feeling."
Important new consumer right
According to the Federal Trade Commission, 27 million Americans have been victims of identity theft in the past 5 years. Advocacy groups say it takes an average of one year before a victim discovers the problem. And almost always, the problem is revealed when consumers order a copy of the credit report -- usually after a surprising credit denial. The swelling crisis led to a slate of new consumer rights passed into law last December, included in the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act. The launch of AnnualCreditReport.com is the most obvious new consumer right included in the law. It entitles every American consumer -- about 200 million people -- to a free copy of their credit report each year.
Any consumers who believe they are a victim of identity theft, or have been turned down after applying for credit, is already entitled to a free copy of the report.
"We always encourageed consumers to regularly look at their credit report," said Coleen Martin, a spokeswoman for Trans Union. She said it might be wise for some consumers to wait until later this year, when they are about to make a big purchase, before taking advantage of their single free copy. "I would encourage consumers to use it when it most the makes sense for them."
Consumer advocates are watching closely. Several studies have shown that credit bureau data is riddled with errors. A study published in October by the National Association of State Public Interest Research Groups indicated four in five credit reports contain errors. Mistakes can be as simple as a mistyped address, or as complicated as a list of defaulted loans, taken out by an identity thief in the victim's name and never repaid. Privacy advocate Rob Douglas urged consumers to quickly take advantage of the Web site, and be prepared for some unhappy surprises.
"I think there will be a more than a substantial number of people who will discover there are errors on their credit report," he said.
Not all consumers can get their credit reports beginning in December. Earlier this year, the FTC issued guidelines that allows the bureaus to roll out the new feature in stages, to avoid overwhelming the new system. Only residents in the Western part of the United States will be able to access the reports on Dec. 1.
The region includes Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The Midwest gets added to the system in March, the South in June. Residents in Eastern states will have to wait until September. The staged rollout was designed to help the credit bureaus deal with what may be a deluge of traffic, said Peggy Twohig, assistant director in the Federal Trade Commission's division of financial practices.
"There are about 200 million people who could take advantage of this, so, because it's brand new, the commission thought it was important to have it roll out so the bureaus can adjust and build up to nationwide demand," Twohig said. "No one knows how many consumers are going to jump online."
The toll free number consumers can call is 877-322-8228. Written requests can be sent to Annual Credit Report Request Service, P. O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281.
Like an annual checkup
Looking at a credit report is a fact of life in the world of free-flowing credit. Some studies suggest as many as 1 in 15 Americans have been a victim of some kind of identity theft, and many still may not know it.
Consumers should make a habit of checking their credit reports, said Beth Givens, director of the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse.
"If you are a victim of identity theft, the earlier you find out the easier it is to clean up the mess," Givens said. "Credit reports are notorious for being inaccurate. It's important to detect and correct any inaccuracies in credit reports."
When consumers visit AnnualCreditReport.com, they will be asked a number of personal questions to determine their identity. Typical multiple-choice questions include: What company holds your mortgage? What is your monthly payment? Who holds your auto loan? The questions required "out-of-wallet" answers, to prevent an imposter from looking up the report details. The bureaus will also be marketing additional services to consumers who use the Free site. Experian, for example, offers to sell consumers a peek at their credit score, and a service to prevent identity theft.
"I am sorry marketing is allowed," Givens said. "It alters the spirit of the law."
Gallow-Vazquez's tale follows a typical storyline. She spent months trying to get police in Tempe, and in Englewood, Calif., where her imposter lived, to pay attention to her story. She sent reams of certified letters to the credit bureaus to clean up her credit. She even drove to California, out of frustration, in an attempt to get one of the departments to file a police report about the incident.
"I was really freaked out. I had to actually beg the police officer to do file a report," she said. "It didn't matter where I tried to look, it was always a dead end. It was a horrible experience."
Credit reports now widely used
An accurate credit report is more important than many consumers realize, Givens said, because the financial history is now used for more than just determining a consumer's creditworthiness. Prospective employers check job applicants' financial backgrounds. Insurance companies use credit reports to determine rates -- a low credit score means high auto insurance rates, for example.
As recently as September, Gallow-Vasquez's imposter attempted to take out another loan in her name. The attempt shows up in the inquiries section of the report, which indicates all companies that have pulled a consumer's credit report in the past two years. Failed attempts by imposters at gaining credit would show up in this section.
As a result, Gallow-Vasquez purchased additional credit reports, about one each month she said, to keep track of her imposter's movements.
That can be pricey -- about $30 each time, she said. Givens recommended consumers stagger their free credit report requests at AnnualCreditReport.com throughout the year to give them a fairly constant idea of what's going on with their financial history. For example, a consumer might pull their report from Experian in December, then Equifax in April, and Trans Union in August. The three reports are not exactly the same, but they are similar, and a major identity theft incident would probably reveal itself on any one of the reports.
Consumers can dispute errors by following the instructions listed on the credit reports they receive. Procedures may differ slightly among companies.
Disputing errors is the hard part
The FTC's Twohig acknowledged the possibility that many consumers will find, and then dispute, errors on their reports. In the past, the bureaus have frequently been criticized for not clearing up errors fast enough.
"We already know dispute handling is far from effective," Givens said.
Martin anticipates many questions since many consumers will be examing their credit report for the first time.
"At Trans Union, there will be a button you push (on their Web site) with instructions on what to do to send us your questions," she said.
The last time federal law required credit bureaus to help consumers fix mistakes in their credit reports, there were many snags. Eventually, in 2000, the three credit bureaus were fined $2.5 million by the FTC for not answering calls to toll-free numbers set up so consumers could dispute inaccuracies. The system was overwhelmed by complaints, and not enough employees were hired to handle the call volume, the FTC alleged. Last year, Equifax was fined again for the same problem.
"The bureaus are aware that's a likely result," Twohig said. "The whole idea of rollout is so they can see how it goes and increase staff, so they can adjust as the nation comes online."

Q: Can I use "war event" in this context? I'm writing a text about children who have experienced war in some form. In my own language, we have an umbrella term for any situation involving war in some sense, and when I look it up in a dictionary, I get the translation "war event", but when I google "war event", it seems to appear more or less exclusively in a gaming context. So, now I'm wondering whether I can nevertheless use this in "my" context, or whether there's another word or phrase I should use.

A: It may be wise to define it upfront, but I don't think you're going to find a better term.
Possibly "war experience"?

A: "War event" is valid English, but it is not a particularly usual or familiar phrase in general English. If you use it in the way you describe, you may well want to define or explain your usage at or ner the start of your text.
Other phrases you might want to consider:

*

*experience of war

*war experiences

*encounter with war

*experience of combat

*affected by war

None of these is a set phrase, as it seems the phrase in your native language is, and you may be able to come up with a better choice.

A: I'd suggest "Wartime events/incidents" as a generic translation. I think that "war events" sounds like "events that are wars" more than "events during wars".  Using "wartime" avoids this sense.
Your google isn't my google. When I google "war events" I get links to "Cold war events" or "Korean war events".
In your particular context, a different translation may be appropriate.  It may well be better to rephrase as, for example:

Children witness many terrible things that happen during wars.

Instead of

Children witness many terrible war events.

The Padirac Chasm (Cave) is one of the most impressive natural wonders of France and although it is widely visited by the French themselves, it remains little known outside of the country. Also known as the Gouffre de Padirac, it is located near the town of Gramat in the southern region of France and a little over 100 miles north of the Pyrenees Mountains that form the border with Spain. A spectacular sinkhole entrance leads to an underground wonderland of subterranean rivers, lakes and ornate chambers.
The mouth of Padirac Chasm (Cave) is roughly 99 m (325 ft) around its rim with a diameter of approximately 35 meters (115 ft). The sinkhole, which formed when the roof of a gigantic cavern collapsed, reaches a depth of around 100 meters where visitors will discover a beautiful and mysterious underground river that can be explored by boat.
The mouth of the sinkhole seems enormous when viewed from the top of the stairs, but becomes no more than a small skylight of blue when seen from below. A raised walkway goes above the huge piles of rocks that were scattered by the collapse of the ceiling and the leads down to the entrance of the cave galleries.
Padirac cave was first explored by Edouard-Alfred Martell on the 9th of July 1889. He was entranced by what he discovered and marveled that he was one of the first humans to see caverns that rivalled the finest cathedrals of Europe. He became determined to share this wonderful discovery and together with George Beamish, heir to the Irish brewing dynasty, he set about establishing one of the most important destinations in France. It first opened in April 1899 and today the cave system attracts around 400,000 visitors every year.
Strange legends have always been associated with the chasm of Padirac which must have seemed even more mysterious before geologists explained how the cave had been formed and tourism was encouraged in the area.
One of the key legends is that of Saint Martin. The devil apparently formed the chasm with his heel and challenged Saint Martin to leap the impossible. He agreed that if Saint Martin succeeded then the souls of the peasants he was about to take would all be saved. Saint Martin pushed his mule and miraculously jumped the gap. Where his astounding mule landed the hoof marks can still be seen even today!
There is a local legend that during the 100 years' war, English soldiers had been fighting and looting at Rocamadour where they had burnt the preserved body of St. Rocamadour (possibly Zacchaeus himself). Burdened with treasures but desperate to keep moving, they are said to have marched on to Alvignac and then Padirac where they hid the treasure somewhere in the chasm. Another version of the story claims that the English were fleeing towards the coast and hid the treasure before going on to Rocamadour.
Another fable claims that from time-to-time ghostly blue flames could be seen coming out of the sinkhole. Strangely, there may be some truth in this story. The origins of this tale probably date back to the 15th and 16th centuries during which time Potassium nitrate (Saltpeter) was mined in the area. This was an essential ingredient of gunpowder and other explosives. When burnt, Potassium nitrate turns flames a brilliant but ghostly violet colour.

SUMMARY AT A GLANCE
Background and objective: Exacerbations of COPD are often characterized by increased mucus production that is difficult to treat and worsens patients' outcome. This study evaluated the efficacy of a chest physiotherapy technique (expiration with the glottis open in the lateral posture, ELTGOL) during acute exacerbations of COPD using as outcome measures sputum volume, length of hospitalization, reduction in dyspnoea (Borg score), improvement in quality of life (assessed by the St George Respiratory Questionnaire) and incidence of COPD exacerbations during follow up. Methods: The study recruited 59 patients hospitalized for the treatment of acute exacerbation of COPD, who were randomly assigned to a control group and an intervention group. The control group was treated with standard medical therapy while the intervention group was treated with ELTGOL plus medical therapy. A subgroup of patients was followed for 6 months to verify the effects on COPD exacerbations and need for hospitalizations. Results: At the time of hospital discharge there was no significant difference between the two groups in the outcome measures, with the exception of the Borg score, which was significantly improved in the ELTGOL group (4.3 ⫾ 1.5 in the control group vs 3.0 ⫾ 1.8 in the ELTGOL group, P = 0.004). After 6 months there was no significant difference in the other measured parameters between a subset of the groups available for follow up. During follow up, the ELTGOL group had numerically fewer exacerbations and less need for hospitalization though differences were not statistically significant. Conclusions: Chest physiotherapy using the ELTGOL technique has a limited role in patients with mild exacerbation of moderate to severe COPD
A chest physiotherapy technique (expiration with the glottis open in the lateral posture, ELTGOL) plus medical treatment was compared with medical treatment alone in the care of patients hospitalized with an acute exacerbation of COPD. Based on various parameters there was no significant improvement in recovery from the use of ELTGOL. with a tendency towards fewer exacerbations and hospitalizations. Key words: COPD, drainage technique, ELTGOL, exacerbation, respiratory physiotherapy, secretion.

COPD is characterized by cough and sputum production. Exacerbations of the disease1 may lead to long-term hospitalizations and high costs. Factors influencing outcomes include the presence of bronchial secretions that limit respiratory function and, in many severe cases, the use of non-invasive mechanical ventilation. Medical therapies alone (systemic steroids, bronchodilators, antibiotics and mucolytics) often do not result in rapid improvement in symptoms. Chest physiotherapy2 is an integral part of pulmonary rehabilitation programmes and includes several techniques of secretion clearance. These techniques are often used in intensive care unit settings,3 for patients affected by acute atelectasis due to mucus plugging. The potential benefit of chest physiotherapy for patients with COPD has been well documented; these studies, however, were performed in patients who were clinically stable.4 The current literature does not contain reports of studies examining the efficacy of these techniques in patients hospitalized with COPD exacerbations.5–6 The aim of this randomized controlled study was to evaluate whether the routine use of a particular drainage technique, namely expiration with the glottis

open in the lateral posture (ELTGOL),7 may benefit patients affected by COPD exacerbation.
METHODS Patients The study recruited 59 COPD patients (41 men and 18 women, aged 70.2 ⫾ 8.4 years), hospitalized with an acute exacerbation between March and September 2002. Informed consent was given by each patient according to the policy of the local Ethics Committee. The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) criteria were used to define COPD.8 Acute exacerbation of COPD was defined on the basis of the clinical history, physical examination and CXR and the severity score according to the Anthonisen Criteria.9 Throughout the study, medical treatment was standardized in all patients according to GOLD guidelines.8 Treatment included nebulized salbutamol (5 mg every 4 h), nebulized ipratropium bromide (500 mg every 6 h), intravenous methylprednisolone (40 mg every day) and antibiotic coverage. Patients were discharged after the resolution of the exacerbation. Patient exclusion criteria were: positive bronchodilator reversibility test or any other chest disease likely to bias results.
Study design The study was a randomized controlled trial. After giving informed consent, patients were randomly assigned to two groups. Group A, the control group, was treated with standard medical therapy alone (steroids, bronchodilators and antibiotics) according to the GOLD guidelines;8 group B (ELTGOL-study group) was given standard medical therapy and chest physiotherapy (ELTGOL). After 7 days of treatment, patients in the ELTGOL group were continued on standard medical treatment alone until hospital discharge. No patient in either group was enrolled in educational and home programmes as they are not routinely performed in our practice.
Chest physiotherapy Chest physiotherapy was performed by a trained specialist respiratory therapist, twice daily for seven consecutive days. It was administered for 30 min at the same time each day, after inhaled medications. Patients were positioned on their side and performed ELTGOL. This is an active assisted technique to mobilize bronchial secretions in the lateral decubitus position on both right and left sides by dependent ventilation, with the peripheral airways clearance facilitated by slow expiratory manoeuvres. The first step of this technique involves the patient learning to relax. The patient then breathes from FRC to RV.

and counterbraces at the level of the supra-lateral costal wall with the other hand, to obtain the most complete infra-lateral lung deflation. The expiratory flow rate is controlled to avoid airways collapse. The total time spent by therapists per patient was the same (30–40 min for each session). The arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) was monitored during treatment with a pulse oximeter (MiniOx V, MSA, Owings Mills, MD, USA). Sputum was collected for one hour after the end of the physiotherapy session. Total sputum volume, including salivary content, was recorded with a graded glass to measure the exact amount during a 24-h period.
Measurements Patients had the following tests performed at hospital admission and discharge: (i) spirometry: flows and dynamic volumes were evaluated by simple spirometry (SensorMedics 6200, Autobox DL; SensorMedics Corp., Yorba Linda, CA, USA), and FEV1 and FEV1/FVC were evaluated; (ii) arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) was monitored with a pulse oximeter (MiniOx V, MSA); (iii) arterial blood gases (ABG): samples were collected by radial puncture while patients were breathing room air and analysed by haemogasanalyser (Chiron 845); and (iv) dyspnoea measurements: MRC scale (5 steps) for chronic dyspnoea and the Borg scale (10 steps) during exercise were used. No specific exercise was considered or exercise programmes scheduled; patients were permitted to freely move and simple activities were encouraged. Health measurements: quality of life (QoL) was assessed by St George Respiratory Questionnaire10 at admission, at discharge and 1 month after discharge; A subgroup of patients was followed for 6 months in order to assess acute exacerbations of COPD and hospitalizations. The flow diagram of the study is represented in Figure 1.
End-points and statistics The primary end-point to determine the efficacy of ELTGOL, compared with standard treatment, was sputum volume. Secondary end-points were: (i) length of hospitalization, (ii) incidence of COPD exacerbation during follow up, (iii) dyspnoea reduction, and (iv) QoL improvement. Values are presented as mean ⫾ SD. Normal distribution was assessed by means of the Kolmogorov– Smirnov test. Normally distributed data were analysed with the paired t-test. Non-normally distributed data were analysed by means of Wilcoxon signed ranks test. Comparisons between the two groups were performed using the unpaired t-test for normally distributed data and the Mann–Whitney test for nonnormally distributed data. A post hoc analysis was performed, comparing patients whose daily sputum production was more than 25 mL. Categorical data were analysed by the chi-square test. A Bonferroni correction was applied and the adjusted significance level was estimated to be 0.007. A survival curve Respirology (2009) 14, 424–428

(time-to-event) analysis for exacerbation and hospitalization was performed for all the patients initially enrolled in the study and the log-rank test was used to asses the differences between curves. A P-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Statistical analysis was performed using Statview (Version 5.0.1., SAS Institute Inc., SAS Campus Drive, Cary, NC 27513, USA) and MedCalc (Version 7.2.1.0, MedCalc Software, Mariakerke, Belgium).
RESULTS The 59 eligible patients were randomly assigned to a control group (Group A, n = 29) and a study group (Group B, n = 30) and the respiratory parameters of each group at admission and discharge are shown in Table 1. Other relevant data at admission, for the ELTGOL group and control group, respectively, are: gender ratio, (M/F) 20/10 vs 21/8; age, 71.3 ⫾ 8.4 vs 69.1 ⫾ 8.3 years; BMI, 24.6 ⫾ 4.8 vs 26.0 ⫾ 5.4 kg; paO2, 60.1 ⫾ 11.4 vs 61.5 ⫾ 11.6 mm Hg; and paCO2, 44.1 ⫾ 8.9 vs 44.6 ⫾ 12.4 mm Hg.

ELTGOL was well tolerated by the study group. No complications occurred. The amount of sputum produced in 24 h decreased significantly in both groups but no significant difference between the groups was recorded at discharge (Table 1). Among the 21 patients producing more than 25 mL of sputum per day at admission (ELTGOL group n = 10, control group n = 11), a larger reduction in sputum volume was seen in the study group by the time of discharge, although the difference between the groups was not statistically significant (17.0 ⫾ 6.4 mL in the ELTGOL group vs 10.2 ⫾ 9.7 mL in the control group, P = 0.076). The length of hospitalization of each group was similar (9.5 ⫾ 3.2 days in the ELTGOL group, 10.0 ⫾ 2.4 in the control group, P = 0.530). At discharge, the two groups showed a similar degree of improvement, although there was a reduction in dyspnoea as measured by the Borg score in the ELTGOL group (Fig. 2, P = 0.004); differences were small.

Results of long-term follow up The study population at follow up is described in Figure 1. Eleven patients from each group were available for analysis 6 months post hospital discharge. Patients lost to follow up were contacted where possible. Reasons for non-attendance included: transport limitations (cost or no car), lack of subjective improvement and no active physiotherapy treatment (the control group mentioned this more frequently). At 6 months post hospital discharge, COPD exacerbations were similar (2.8 ⫾ 3.0 vs 3.4 ⫾ 1.7, P = 0.414), and the number of hospitalizations did not differ between the two groups (1.9 ⫾ 2.5 vs 1.5 ⫾ 1.6, respectively, P = 0.945) The time to event curve shows a non-significant reduction in both the number of exacerbations in the ELTGOL group (95% CI: 0.55–10.12; P = 0.2444) and

DISCUSSION The present study failed to show a clear advantage of chest physiotherapy using ELTGOL in patients with an acute exacerbation of moderate to severe COPD. Although limited by the small sample size, this study appears to be one of only few randomized studies comparing ELTGOL, as adjuvant treatment in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD, to conventional treatment. ELTGOL is an easily performed technique which is well tolerated by patients. It is known to help mucus clearance. Nevertheless, its definitive role in COPD exacerbations is not proven, perhaps due to the considerable variability of sputum produced by these patients. In patients characterized by sputum hyperproduction (more than 25 mL/day), there was no statistically significant evidence of benefit after the period of treatment, although a reduction in sputum volume was evident. At present, there is no preferred airway clearance technique for different groups of patients; however, it has been suggested that airway clearance techniques should be applied to patients who expectorate more than 25–30 mL daily or, if they cannot expectorate, who have clear signs of mucus retention.11,12 In this study, patients treated with ELTGOL experienced substantial symptomatic relief with reduced perception of dyspnoea after the treatment. On the other hand, more specific parameters of well-being, like health-related questionnaires, did not show greater benefit in patients treated with ELTGOL; so it may be that the reduction in dyspnoea reflected in the Borg score was not associated with the amount of sputum and could not be explained by specific questions addressed in the questionnaires about QoL. It may also be argued that the lack of evidence

428 of improvement was attributable to the relatively mild degree of exacerbation, even in quite severe COPD; patients had moderate hypoxaemia without hypercarbia. The small number of patients followed to 6 months limits the long-term assessment of exacerbations and hospitalization rate. The population which returned for follow up may not be representative of the initial study population. In addition, the small number of patients may have resulted in a type 2 error and may thus underestimate the benefits of physiotherapy. COPD is characterized by recurrent exacerbations that lead to progressive worsening of symptoms and have a variable, but considerable impact on a patient's QoL,13,14 as well as an important social and economic burden. Rehabilitation is mostly performed during the stable phase of COPD and is mainly targeted at muscle retraining and clearance of secretions; in particular, bronchial drainage is aimed at reducing bronchial obstruction, improving ventilation of pulmonary zones affected by microatelectasis and preventing infections. Meta-analyses, reviews and studies have been undertaken on airway clearance techniques,5–10,15 but the lack of standardization and vague definitions make comparisons very complicated and sometimes misleading, thus failing to demonstrate their benefit. The American Thoracic Society guidelines for the treatment of COPD in 1995 recommended the use of respiratory physiotherapy in hypersecretive patients.14 However, the subsequent guidelines (GOLD 2001) did not confirm such recommendations.8 Thus, due to a lack of studies supporting the use of respiratory physiotherapy in COPD, its use depends on the preference of each centre. Concerns have been raised about inappropriate indications for physiotherapy, resulting in an increase of health-related costs without providing any advantages, such as reduction of the length of hospitalization and mortality.15 In conclusion, chest physiotherapy using the ELTGOL technique appears to have a limited role in patients with exacerbation of moderate to severe COPD.

Q: Almacenar contenido de un vector dada una condición (Búsqueda por rango) Java primer post en esta página, quisiera saber ¿cómo debería estructurar esta subrutina de tal manera que al cumplirse la condición que coloco en el if se almacenen en un vector auxiliar para luego imprimir ese vector hasta "cont" (que vendría a ser el número de veces que se cumplió esa condición).
PD: Este método trata de buscar por rango dentro de un vector.
public static void printRange(BigInteger arr[], BigInteger lb, BigInteger ub) {
    int n = arr.length;
    BigInteger aux[] = new BigInteger[n];
    int cont = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
        int arrchl = arr[i].compareTo(lb);
        int arrchu = arr[i].compareTo(ub);
        if (arrchl == 1 && arrchu == -1) {
            cont++;
        }
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < cont; i++) {
        System.out.print("[" + aux[i] + "]");
        System.out.print("");
    }

}

Output:
El tamaño del vector generado es de 5 casillas
El vector random creado es:
[33][102][16][90][66]
Rango del nuevo vector está entre 0 y 100
[null][null][null][null]
Y el resultado debería ser en este caso:
[33][16][90][66]

A: Dentro del ifdebes guardar el valor comparado en tu array aux, ya que cumple con la condición establecida:
...
if (arrchl == 1 && arrchu == -1) {
            aux[cont] = arr[i];  //<----
            cont++;
        }

No traffic deaths during Christmas period in Mississippi
JACKSON – The Mississippi Highway Patrol ended the 2014 Christmas enforcement period Dec. 25 at midnight without reporting a roadway fatality.
The patrol counts holiday traffic deaths on state highways and interstates. The agency did not include the death of a Belhaven University football student who was struck while riding his bicycle on U.S. 49 in Richland on Christmas Eve.
Patrol spokesman Lt. Johnny Poulos says in a news release that 1,500 citations were issued, including 22 DUI arrests and 30 seat belt violations, during the enforcement period that began at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
Poulos says the Highway Patrol attributes the low statistics to responsible decisions made by motorists, public notification by the media and the high visibility of law enforcement through the period.
