Samsung Releases Source Code for Eye Controlled Mouse Pointer
February 23, 2012 / Klint Finley
The Verge on the eyeWriter inspired EyeCan from Samsung:
While controlling a mouse pointer with your eye isn't brand-new technology, Samsung's taking steps to get it in the hands of as many people as possible by open-sourcing its eyeCan technology. EyeCan was developed by five members of Samsung's Creativity Lab, and was built with the purpose of helping those who are paralyzed from a disease like ALS control a computer through eye tracking. They've been testing it and posting videos of it in use on YouTube over the last few months (not surprisingly, one of those videos showed off a game of Angry Birds) and now the team is ready to release the software and documentation behind it for anyone to develop their own solution.

Third World solutions to First World problems
April 14, 2010 / Klint Finley
I'm not sure if this is a joke or not, but it is a good idea:
Our fellows in the first world often come to visit and give us their well intentioned but often very problematic "solutions". We thought, why don't we pay back?
Dx1W is a competition for designers, artists, scientists, makers and thinkers in developing countries to provide solutions for First World problems. […]
The activities carried out under the International Year focus on:
*Reducing obesity.
*Addressing aging population and low birth rate.
*Reducing consumption rate of mass produced goods.
*Integrating the immigrant population.
The Dx1W competition is addressed to the developing countries of the world: All creative solutions depend on having a powerful idea. Whether it's great resources, military, politics or government, power and size are not enough without having a powerful vision. The First World needs our ideas to solve their problems. First World problems demand Simple Third World solutions. From today on The Third World will bring ideas to redesign the future of the First World.

EyeWriter: Open source technology for people suffering from ALS
March 26, 2010 / Klint Finley
The EyeWriter project is an ongoing collaborative research effort to empower people who are suffering from ALS with creative technologies.
It is a low-cost eye-tracking apparatus & custom software that allows graffiti writers and artists with paralysis resulting from Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to draw using only their eyes.
Members of Free Art and Technology (FAT), OpenFrameworks, the Graffiti Research Lab, and The Ebeling Group communities have teamed-up with a legendary LA graffiti writer, publisher and activist, named Tony Quan, aka TEMPTONE. Tony was diagnosed with ALS in 2003, a disease which has left him almost completely physically paralyzed… except for his eyes. This international team is working together to create a low-cost, open source eye-tracking system that will allow ALS patients to draw using just their eyes. The long-term goal is to create a professional/social network of software developers, hardware hackers, urban projection artists and ALS patients from around the world who are using local materials and open source research to creatively connect and make eye art.

Cooking With Sound: Bio-Mass Burning Stove Also Converts Heat Into Sound Then Electricity
A low-cost generator with the potential to transform lives in the world's poorest communities is now being tested across the UK and in Nepal. The Score project, led by The University of Nottingham, is developing a bio-mass burning cooking stove which also converts heat into acoustic energy and then into electricity, all in one unit.
The £2 million Score project (Stove for Cooking, Refrigeration and Electricity) brings together experts from across the world to develop the biomass-powered generator. By developing an affordable, versatile domestic appliance Score aims to address the energy needs of rural communities in Africa and Asia, where access to power is extremely limited.

Apple and Control Machines
In the days before the new Apple tablet was announced the anti-DRM group Defective by Design dubbed Apple's announcement event the "Come see our latest restriction" event. Since then, there's been a lot of chatter about the various limitations of the device – DRM, or otherwise.
I think some of these limitations could be important for the future of computing and media.
Limitations could be a feature – keeping people focused on reading. Perhaps we shouldn't be thinking of this as a laptop or netbook alternative at all, but as an text reader and video player. Having a limited multitasking abilities and a lack of Flash might be a means to limit our level of distraction from e-mail and instant messaging. Stan Schroeder wrote for Mashable:
Then, there's multi-tasking. Nearly everyone I've talked to thinks this is a huge deal-breaker, but I think it makes sense. Although Steve Jobs was trying hard to prove to us that the iPad is a computer, it isn't. Just like the iPod and the iPhone, its main purpose is to give the users an easy way to consume certain types of digital content. After music (iPod) and mobile applications (iPhone) comes iPad with video, photos, e-books, e-magazines, games. Apple doesn't really want you to do complex photo editing on the iPad; you've got your Mac or PC for that. Apple wants you to touch a button, and start consuming content (preferably paying a couple of dollars for it).
Finally, the camera. Yes, it would be nice to have video chat. But once again, Apple wants you to do that on a Mac. If you want to snap photos, you should do it on the iPhone — you're carrying it with you all the time, anyway. Once again, it becomes clear that Apple doesn't want to sell devices that can do everything; they want to find the best form factor to consume some types of digital content, and then focus on them. If you look at it, you can do pretty much everything on your personal computer; by that philosophy, you don't need anything else besides a laptop. And yet, you've now got smartphones and e-readers selling very well. Could it be that one powerful device is not as good as several less powerful, but more focused ones?
If that's the case, and the iPad is just another consumer device and a paradigm, then it's no big deal.
But if they're letting users instal everything from the iPhone app store, then are they really designing useful limitations to keep the device focused? You can install apps that do just about anything, not just consume media. And the keyboard extension explicitly allows two-way media interaction.
Ultimately the lack of Flash or multitasking or a web cam seem trivial to me. They're just features that may or may not be able to make or break the latest in consumer technology. And that's just not important. But there's a scarier possibility – that Apple is slowing easing its customers into an app-store centric world, where every app that runs on their platform on a "legitimate" (non-"jailbroken") device has to pass their gates. It may sound conspiratorial, but I worry that Apple is trying to migrate their closed device paradigm from the mobile world (where that sort of thing is already pretty common) to the desktop world (where that's unheard of). It's strange that years after Trusted Computing became an information liberty concern, it's been Apple, not Microsoft, leading the way to a more restrictive computing environment.
Peter Kirn at Create Digital Music has an extensive post considering the potential problems of the "closed Apple" world:
Apple already has a dangerously dominant position in the consumption of music and mobile software, and their iTunes-device link ensures that content goes through their store, their conduit, and ultimately their control. This means that developers are limited in what they can create for the device when it comes to media – a streaming Last.fm app is okay, but an independent music store (like Amazon MP3 on Android) is not. Now, you can add to that Apple dominating book distribution. At a time when we have an opportunity to promote independent e-book publishing, the iPad is accompanied by launch deals from major traditional publishers. What does that mean for independent writers and content? […]
Apple threatens to split computing into two markets, one for "traditional," "real" computers, and another for passive consumption devices that try to play games without physical controls and let you read books, watch movies, play music, and run apps so long as you're willing to go through the conduit of a single company.
And, of course, this wouldn't be worth my breath if not for my real concern: what if Apple actually succeeds? What if competitors follow this broken path, or fail to offer strong alternatives? The iPad today is a heck of a lot slicker than alternatives. It's bad news for Linux, Windows, and Android, none of which have really workable competitors yet. It's especially bad for Linux, in fact, which had a real chance to make its mark on mobile devices.
Timothy Blee makes the case that restricted computing will lose out in the market. I'm not so optimistic.
On not-so-dark note, I was disappointed at how uninnovative the iPad is. It's just a big iPod touch, or a really crippled tablet pc. It seems like it could be an interesting musical insturment (a nice platform for RJDJ, for instance) It doesn't seem like as much of a game changer as something like this:
It's unusual for Microsoft to out innovate Apple (or rather, to beat them to stealing good ideas), but their Courier seems to do just that. Of course, it's vaporware right now, and could continue to be so, just like its abandoned predecessor the OLPC2:
Rwanda mobile phone revenue could reach US$1 billion by 2012
Sub-Saharan Africa is not famous for technological innovation but a report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology indicates that mobile telephone use has grown twice as quickly there as anywhere else in the world. Even in tiny Rwanda, the government estimates that revenue from mobile phones will reach US$1 billion by 2012.

Low Hanging Fruit
You know what I would love to do? I'd love to start an effort devoted entirely to solving the easy problems in the world. Not a new NGO; you know how I feel about that, but a division within a major existing group. It would be funded by donations, not government grants, and focus on the low-hanging fruit in relief and development. Heck, we could call it Low Hanging Fruit, and live with the inevitable LHF acronym. We wouldn't worry about sustainability, but we'd have a big focus on local involvement.
There are a million little ideas we all run into, that don't fit with any expressed donor priorities, but would so obviously make a useful different in the world. LHF would work on those. We'd document everything to pieces, so it would also serve as research on what works. Every community we worked in would have a paired control community with similar demographics, and as soon as we could demonstrate an intervention was working, we'd extend it into the control group so they could benefit too.

Alfred Sirleaf is an analog blogger. He take runs the "Daily News", a news hut by the side of a major road in the middle of Monrovia. He started it a number of years ago, stating that he wanted to get news into the hands of those who couldn't afford newspapers, in the language that they could understand.
Alfred serves as a reminder to the rest of us, that simple is often better, just because it works. The lack of electricity never throws him off. The lack of funding means he's creative in ways that he recruits people from around the city and country to report news to him.

Fifty lucky members attended another Saskatoon Quilters' Guild retreat at Living Skies on April 6, 7 and 8. It was a grand time.
Gillian McDougald. Thank you to Norma Sparrow for donating pens and notebooks, Dorothy Boran for her generous contributions to the great prizes, and Diane Leontowicz for masterminding our game the first evening. Next year's Retreat is already booked at Living Skies for April 5, 6 and 7.
HUMBOLDT BRONCOS QUILTING VIGIL – A heartfelt thanks goes out to the members of the SQG for the amazing response to the call for help to assemble quilts to provide comfort for the Humboldt Broncos team members, their families, emergency responders, billet families and other members of the community affected by the devastating bus crash on April 6. We had sewers stay between the guild afternoon and evening meetings on April 23. Others took fabric and blocks home to assemble tops. In the end we finished 30 quilt tops, using the blocks from Humboldt's Haus of Stitches and additional blocks made from fabric donated by a group of ladies at a retreat in Rosthern and Dalmeny. Thanks again for everyone's help in making our sewing afternoon such a big success!
A few "Guilder Goodies" classes, taught by marvelous members of the guild before the afternoon meetings, had members learning to make adjustable casserole carriers. Another class, machine applique/enhancing and embellishing, allowed participants to play with Inktense pencils.
learning to make a variety of flowers in a group setting. Spring bouquets were made using buttons and fabric leftovers. The year-end Windup Potluck was held June 11. This potluck featured a lighter fare of appetizers, salads and desserts. The Christmas Challenge pieces were displayed and members voted for their favourite. The evening also included a presentation about the theme and categories for the 2019 Quilt Show, 'Reflections in Colour'.
And finally we wonder, what does it cost to make a quilt?
Many of us have been asked this question and often find it a difficult one to answer. SQG member Cheryl Bock decided to conduct a survey to see if there is a straightforward answer. She provided the following report.
QUILT COST SURVEY – Cheryl Bock, April 2018.
Web-surfing guild members had found estimates for the cost of making a quilt. These were often in American dollars without source references. Following up on this information, I realized that costs could be surprisingly low, amazingly high and everything in-between. So, what DOES it cost you to make a quilt? What price would you ask if you were selling a quilt? How do you value your time? I developed a survey, and polled retreat attendees and guild members. I learned that some of my questions were open to interpretation, and open-ended questions were difficult to analyze, but I hope you'll enjoy seeing the responses from the 24 participants. Please note that this survey was done in a spirit of participation and enjoyment for our guild and should be interpreted as such. No claims are made as to the robustness of the data and the results presented.
Assume that you have made a quilt that is 100 x 100 inches and that the quilt is pieced at an average skill level. What would the cost be of your quilt top fabric?
Average cost was $240. Lowest cost was $50 and highest was $1200.
What type of batting would you use?
77% chose wool, 8% chose other and 4% chose bamboo.
What would be the cost of your batting?
Average batting cost was $45. Lowest cost was $20 and highest was $80.
What would be the total cost of materials in your finished quilt including supplies such as thread, binding, pattern? Note: This is a question that lacked clarity as some replies apparently included the quilt top and batting in their response.
The average cost of additional supplies (not including the quilt top and batting) is $30.
Who would do the quilting?
54% of survey participants would do the quilting themselves; 38% would do some quilting themselves and have some done by others. What would the cost of the quilting be?
Average quilting cost was $230. Lowest cost was $100 and highest was $750. Thread cost was estimated at $12.
If you were to sell the quilt, will you add the cost of your time/labour?
78% of respondents add their labour cost while 22% do not.
What would the labour cost be?
Average labour cost was $450. Lowest cost was $50 and highest was $2980. Labour costs per hour ranged from $10 to $20, with an average of $16. Average labour time was estimated at 20 hours.
If you were to sell the quilt, what would the selling price be?
Average selling price was $900. Lowest price was $300 and highest was $4500.
My labour charge is double the supply cost. My selling price is double the supply cost but also depends upon the complexity of the quilt and its appearance. My batting choice is influenced by the purpose of the quilt, for example, a baby quilt will be repeatedly laundered.
My selling price is based on material cost. Hours are based on the complexity of the pattern and whether it is custom quilting or a pantograph. I would sell a quilt at a price to recover the cost of materials. The addition of a 40% consignment fee might be added and was included in my calculated selling price. I quilt for enjoyment, so selling the quilt for the cost of materials would allow me to buy more fabric. I have donated several quilted items to silent auctions, and I am usually disappointed to see that they don't sell for close to their worth.
CONCLUSIONS: Some of us sew as an expression of loving and caring, as was recently shown by the #quiltsforbroncos sewing day. We are reluctant to put a price on our quilts, as love is priceless. This also holds true for the quilted gifts we share with family and friends. For some, even when selling quilts, they want only to recover the cost of materials so that more fabric can be purchased and they can continue to enjoy their hobby and indulge their passions for colour, texture and creativity. For others, quilting has become their profession; a way to express themselves through an art that has components of both beauty and utility. What DOES it cost to make a quilt? The final answer lies with the quilt-maker within each of us.


At the moment, West Ham United lack the faith and the hope that they could survive in the top division. With Slaven Bilic sacked, there is instability in the club which Moyes needs to rectify immediately. He needs to give the fans reasons to believe that the club can change things around. At Sunderland, Moyes made the mistake to admit that Sunderland had a bleak chance of surviving which resulted in a loss of confidence in both the players and fans. He surely should not do that at West Ham right now.
West Ham United have some good players at the back who have proved themselves effective in the Premier League. Jose Fonte was once one of the most wanted defenders in England. Winston Reid has always done well with the Hammers. Zabaleta and Joe Hart have already proven themselves at City and the potential of Aaron Cresswell isn't a secret. But what has lacked under Slaven Bilic was defensive organization. The Hammers have leaked 23 goals this season, the most by any club in the league which certainly is an issue Moyes has to resolve.
Bilic won the heart of the fans most when the Hammers beat the bigger teams in the league. While the chances of that happening right now are slim, Moyes needs to take this into account. He has Watford, Leicester and Everton next to face. These are teams with vulnerabilities and this is the perfect chance to exploit that and get a good phase started for the Hammers. Each point against any of these teams will be of utmost importance at the end of the season.
The West Ham United fans immensely supported Slaven Bilic, even when things didn't look great for him. Some even question his sacking but the point is, they have backed their manager time and again. If Moyes is to be successful with the Hammers, he has to win the support of the fans. It can only be done by playing some free flowing football and making sure that their game style ends in a productive way, resulting in points on the table.
Arguably, Manuel Lanzini is West Ham United's best chance to get goals upfront. Obviously, there is Javier Hernandez but he needs to be supplied well and that is where Lanzini comes in. Under Bilic, Lanzini's game was restricted in some ways and we could not see him exploit the opposite defence but Moyes can change that and allow Lanzini to make the difference on the pitch and help the Hammers survive relegation eventually.


summary : While Netflix gives viewers the opportunity to watch an entire series in just one sitting, the problem is that waiting for next season is very tiresome. For those who already finished all episodes of Luke Cage Season 1, it could be more than a year before the bulletproof hero comes back. Luke Cage Season 2 could become available on 2019.
summary : Director James Gunn, the man behind 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' has spoken up about the controversy sparked by media reports in relation to actress Zendaya Coleman joining the 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' Cast.

Project Valentine Assist
by Daniel L. Haulman
Operation Name: Project Valentine Assist
Location: Marshall Islands
Date: December 2–28, 1979
Emergency: A typhoon in the Marshall Islands brought 15- to 20-foot waves to Majuro Atoll, which had a maximum elevation of 6 feet above sea level.
Organizations: Twenty-second Air Force and 60th, 62d, and 63d Military Airlift Wings
Airlifted: 650 tons of food, water purification equipment, an Army field kitchen, Red Cross supplies, communications and power generation equipment, trucks, and other relief cargo; and 250 support personnel.
Aircraft Used: C–141 (35) and C–130 (five)
In late November, Typhoon Abby approached Majuro Atoll, a coral reef island in the Marshall Islands, a trust territory of the United States. High winds drove 15- to 20-foot waves over the small coral reef island, which had a maximum elevation of only 6 feet above sea level. Flooding destroyed homes, contaminated food and water supplies, and disrupted communications and power generation. On December 1, President Carter declared the atoll a major disaster area and ordered MAC to undertake a relief airlift.
Between December 2 and 28, the Twenty-second Air Force flew 40 cargo planes to Marshall Islands International Airport on Majuro Atoll in an emergency airlift called Project Valentine Assist. They transported 650 tons of relief equipment and supplies from Hickam AFB, Hawaii; Andersen AFB, Guam; Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio; and other locations in the continental United States. The cargo included food, water purification equipment, an Army field kitchen, medical supplies, communications and power generation equipment, 20 trucks, a forklift, cots, tents, blankets, cooking and eating utensils, lumber, and tools. The planes also carried 250 support personnel to help rebuild the island's infrastructure, most from the 25th U.S. Infantry Division, stationed in Hawaii.
The air fleet included 35 C–141s and five C–130s from the 60th, 62d, and 63d Military Airlift Wings, based in California and Washington. Many crews were diverted from regularly scheduled Pacific flights to assist in the emergency operation, which helped the people of the Marshall Islands reconstruct their capital.

I participated in Operation Valentine Assist and we were from the 25th Infantry Division. Not the 125th Infantry Division. That entry in your report is inaccurate and should be corrected please.
It was a pleasure to serve the People of Majuro after that natural disaster. I have really nice memories of those days there! I was the Division Mailclerk there and driver for the CO. I remember Chaplain NJUS(hope I spelled that right) pronounced NEUS.
Please correct the Division to accurately represent the 25th Infantry Division and a part of its history.
Thank you so much for memorializing this event!

Severe congenital lead poisoning in a preterm infant due to a herbal remedy
Paul A Tait, Amish Vora, Simon James, D James Fitzgerald and Beverly A Pester
Chronic lead poisoning may manifest clinically as abdominal pain, constipation, proteinuria, haematuria, peripheral neuropathy and muscle weakness.1 With more significant lead poisoning, encephalopathy may occur.2 Sustained blood lead levels of over 0.5 μmol/L in early childhood are likely to be associated with intellectual underperformance.3 However, congenital lead poisoning and its subsequent management has rarely been reported in preterm infants.
Treatment is with chelating agents, which reduce lead concentrations in the blood and tissues by forming water-soluble complexes that are cleared by the kidneys.4
We report a case in which the neonatal blood lead level was the highest recorded for a surviving infant.
Clinical record
A 24-year-old pregnant woman, who had recently emigrated from India, was found to have a haemoglobin level of 70 g/L at 24 weeks' gestation. At that time it was noted that she was a vegan and had a normal blood film and iron studies. At 30 weeks' gestation, she presented with abdominal pain and a progressive confusional state culminating in seizures. The blood film now showed basophilic stippling, a typical sign of lead poisoning (Box 1), and subsequent testing showed she had a blood lead concentration of 5.2 μmol/L (the National Health and Medical Research Council's public health goal is a level of ≤ 0.48 μmol/L).3
Chelating therapy was initiated with intramuscular dimercaprol and intravenous calcium disodium edetate (CaNa2EDTA).5 Thirty-six hours later the woman had an antepartum haemorrhage, and, after induction of labour, she gave birth to a 1.6 kg (75th percentile) female baby by vaginal delivery. Apgar scores were 4 and 6. The infant was flaccid and areflexic and did not move in response to noxious stimuli, although spontaneous ocular movements were present. As she had emerging alveolar hypoventilation and no gag reflex, she was intubated and ventilated. The clinical suspicion of bilateral diaphragmatic palsy was later confirmed by fluoroscopy.
Basophilic stippling was not seen on the infant's blood films, although Heinz bodies were present. Lead concentration in the cord blood was 7.6 μmol/L (12 hours before birth, maternal blood lead concentration had been 2.3 μmol/L). The concentration of erythrocyte porphyrins was 20.3 μmol/L (normal range, 0.4–1.7 μmol/L), and radiographs of the long bones showed an increase in the bone density adjacent to the metaphyses (both signs of lead poisoning).
Within 24 hours of birth, the infant was commenced on chelation therapy (intramuscular dimercaprol 4 mg/kg/dose every four hours and intravenous CaNa2EDTA 50 mg/kg/day, given after the second dose of dimercaprol). The blood lead concentration initially rose to 11.8 μmol/L within the first 48 hours of therapy, then fell rapidly over the next few days. The high urinary lead concentration of 52 μmol/L on Day 3 was an indicator that lead was being excreted. The time course of blood and urinary lead concentrations for the first 14 weeks post partum is shown in Box 2. On Day 7, it was judged appropriate to cease intravenous chelating therapy. Succimer (an oral chelating agent) 30 mg/kg/day5 was commenced three days later. At that time, the urinary lead concentration had fallen to 4.2 μmol/L. Over the three-week course of succimer, urinary lead concentrations fell further, while blood lead concentrations remained relatively constant. As the succimer appeared to be having little effect, it was discontinued on Day 31, and intravenous CaNa2EDTA was recommenced 48 hours later. A rise in urinary lead excretion was observed after this course and subsequent courses of parenteral therapy.
By Day 42, facial, bulbar, proximal-limb and diaphragmatic muscle activity had improved sufficiently to allow successful extubation. By Day 53, the blood lead concentration appeared to have fallen to a satisfactory level, and an attempt at maintenance therapy using oral succimer at the higher dose of 60 mg/kg/day was commenced.6,7 However, the blood lead concentration increased during the second course of succimer, with a corresponding decrease in the urinary lead concentration. Intravenous CaNa2EDTA was recommenced. When chelation therapy was subsequently discontinued for two weeks, the blood lead concentration again rose, and a fifth course of CaNa2EDTA was initiated.
Progress of infant after first 14 weeks. By three months' corrected age (ie, about 5 months after birth) the infant was able to fully feed by sucking, although there was significant gastroesophageal reflux. Her peripheral weakness had almost resolved, but bilateral wrist drop and poor head control persisted. Blood lead concentration had fallen to 1.8 μmol/L. It was decided to reintroduce oral succimer at 60 mg/kg/day. This appeared to be effective, as the lead levels not only fell in the blood but increased in the urine.
A brainstem auditory response at four months' corrected age showed right sensorineural deafness. (A magnetic resonance image of the brain at three weeks of age had been normal.) Throughout the hospital stay her serum calcium, zinc, iron, renal and liver function tests were normal.
The infant was discharged home, on succimer, at five months' corrected age with a blood lead concentration of 0.95 μmol/L. A neurodevelopmental examination at the time revealed a two-month delay. Her two siblings, aged two and four years, were found to have blood lead concentrations of 0.6 and 0.3 μmol/L, respectively.
Lead source identification. An environmental audit of the home and the local Sikh community kitchen revealed no obvious source of lead. Interviews conducted with the mother established that she had been taking several tablets, prescribed by an Ayurvedic doctor in India for treatment of a gastrointestinal complaint, periodically over the course of the past nine years. Analytical results for the various tablets are presented in Box 3, the most notable being the high lead content of two of the tablet types (4.5%–8.9% lead). The mother's tablet use in the nine months before the child's birth represented a lead intake of at least 50 times the average weekly lead intake of Western populations.2,8
Correspondence with the Ayurvedic doctor in India, who prescribed the brown ("HSY-15") tablets in this case, has not yet provided any clues as to the origin of the lead in these tablets.
The diagnosis of intrauterine lead intoxication was made on the basis of a maternal encephalopathy with a high blood lead concentration, maternal anaemia with basophilic stippling, and a high cord-blood lead concentration. Infant blood lead levels of a third to a half the peak level reported here are usually associated with severe cerebral oedema and death.2 In this instance, the infant was encephalopathic and profoundly weak and had diaphragmatic palsy at birth. The limb weakness clinically appeared to be predominantly neuropathic. Several electrophysiological attempts to clarify the presence of either a neuropathy or a myopathy failed owing to technical and interpretive difficulties. Although lead-induced peripheral neuropathy is well described,9 diaphragmatic palsy is unreported. There was no evidence of renal involvement or proteinuria, possibly due to the infant's renal immaturity. There was no basophilic stippling in any neonatal blood film. This relative paradox — the absence of basophilic stippling despite lead intoxication — has been noted previously.10 The unilateral sensorineural deafness is likely to be due to lead toxicity.11
Previous reports of congenital lead intoxication indicate that maternal and cord blood lead levels correlate.12 The marked discrepancy in this case (2.3 μmol/L [mother] v 7.6 μmol/L [cord]) could be due to the possibility that at high maternal blood lead concentrations the lead-binding capacity of the erythrocytes becomes saturated13 and more lead is available for transfer to the fetus. Alternatively, the discrepancy could be due to in-utero mobilisation of lead from fetal tissues without adequate maternal clearance. This latter consideration indicates a potential detrimental effect on the fetus of chelation therapy in pregnancy.
As chelating agents bind lead into complexes that are cleared by the kidneys, an increase in urinary lead concentration was expected after administration of each of the chelating agents. This phenomenon was consistently observed after courses of dimercaprol and CaNa2EDTA. However, variable doses of oral succimer during the preterm period did not lead to corresponding increases in urinary lead concentration, despite raising the dose to a level higher than those recommended in the literature.5-7 Only when oral succimer was recommenced at three months' corrected age did the predicted response occur. This apparent early ineffectiveness of succimer could be due to absorptive failure from the infant's immature gut. Furthermore, succimer is a prodrug that requires cysteine for activation.2 It is unclear whether or not this enzymatic activation process is mature in the premature infant.
Public health considerations
While lead was the principal concern in this case, mercury was also detected in some of the tablets (Box 3). Weekly ingestion of one of the tablets containing 400 μg would exceed the Australian average weekly mercury intake by at least fourfold.8 Mercury poisoning was of secondary concern in the current circumstance, and chelation therapy was expected to remove the mercury along with the lead. This does, however, illustrate that herbal medicines may contain more than one potentially toxic component.
In many countries, including Australia, it is legal to import herbal remedies for personal use, although some restrictions apply.14 In addition, testing programs for contaminants in herbal remedies are virtually non-existent. Acute lead poisoning has been reported from traditional and herbal medicines and cosmetics obtained from India,15-17 the Middle East,18-19 Mexico20 and Asia.20-21 This should be a matter of grave concern to patients who take such remedies, and to health professionals and health authorities in these countries and in Australia.

The Reality of Rotating Forces
Sept. 17, 2014 | By Amy Hudson
When US Air Forces in Europe-Air Forces Africa supported the "noncombatant evacuation" of US personnel in Libya this summer, the command sent five tankers, three F-16s, C-130s, and a C-17, said USAFE-AFAFRICA Commander Gen. Frank Gorenc on Monday. During that mission alone, the F-16 pilots logged 12.5 hours in the air, he said at AFA's Air & Space Conference in National Harbor, Md. "What if we had to do that mission with rotating forces?" he questioned, alluding to the continue call from Congress to cut US force structure and manpower in Europe in lieu of instituting another round of stateside base closures. "We certainly couldn't be as responsive. It would cost roughly three-to-one on the force structure. That's the reality of it. That's the decision we have to make," he said.

'The Shadow of a Gunman,' The Sean O'Casey Season at the Irish Repertory Theatre
Posted by caroleditosti
(L to R): Una Clancy, Robert Langdon Lloyd, Ed Malone, James Russell, Meg Hennessy in the Irish Rep production of Sean O'Casey's 'The Shadow of a Gunman' directed by Ciarán O'Reilly (Carole Rosegg)
Sean O'Casey's compelling The Shadow of a Gunman (1923), the first play of his Dublin Trilogy, has been selected by the Irish Repertory Theatre as the "send off" to introduce their Sean O'Casey Season which has been running from January 30 and will continue through May 25,2019. The first play of the O'Casey Cycle is presented in repertory along with O'Casey's Juno and the Paycock and The Plough and the Stars on the Irish Rep's main stage (132 West 22nd Street).
The plays of the trilogy take place during three pivotal and violent confrontations between Ireland and the United Kingdom: The Irish War of Independence (January 21, 1919-July 11, 1921); The Irish Civil War (June 1922-May 1923) and The Easter Rising (April 24-29, 1916). These wars led to the Republic of Ireland achieving independence from the United Kingdom. However the tribal wounds and ferocious heartbreak and resentments incurred centuries ago that exploded into these wars and ended in an uncertain peace, still abide to this day.
(L to R): James Russell, Michael Mellamphy in Irish Repertory Theatre's production of Sean O'Casey's 'The Shadow of a Gunman,'directed by Ciarán O'Reilly (Carol Rosegg)
The Irish Rep has chosen to celebrate its 30th anniversary by featuring O'Casey's trilogy which chronicles the impact of dire events on the impoverished tenement dwellers of Dublin who were often the casualties of war. Revisiting the plays remains important for our time because as O'Casey highlights the effects of division and internecine hatreds, he raises questions about the nature of freedom, sacrifice, art, nationalism, Republicanism and more. Always in the background is the price average individuals are "willing" to pay to achieve self-governance and negotiate the political power plays of forces, organizations and governments not readily understandable nor controllable.
The Shadow of a Gunman ably and concisely directed by Ciarán O'Reilly to achieve O'Casey's maximum intended effect has as its setting Dublin during the Irish War of Independence (see dates above). The largely guerilla warfare campaigns encompassed brutal clashes between the IRA (referred to as the Old IRA today) appointed as the enforcers of Irish Independence, and many former British WWI veterans known as the "Black and Tans." These British military units were "volunteered" by England to safeguard Ireland as part of the United Kingdom. However, their undisciplined and harsh tactics exacerbated the conflicts so that repeated incidents of bloodshed and devastation were wrecked upon Dublin society by the IRA and the British military.
Meg Hennessy and James Russell in the Irish Rep's production of Sean O'Casey's 'The Shadow of a Gunman,' directed by Ciarán O'Reilly
How the innocent tenement dwellers of Dublin suffer for the price of a freedom and economic independence that largely remains beyond them is brilliantly chronicled by O'Casey. And indeed, through the excellent work of the ensemble and shepherding of the fine performances by Ciarán O'Reilly, we experience the ironic tragicomedy of happenstance and the true terror of being caught between two ranging enemies who do not care who is swept up in the brutality or destroyed.
The comedy resides largely in the human interactions of the residents of a rooming house and how they present themselves as they negotiate their own political positions and participation or lack of interest in effecting a free Ireland. One central irony is that they underestimate the danger of the warfare that surrounds them until it is too late. In their naivete they assume that struggling writer and poet Donal Davoren (James Russell in a sensitive, angst-ridden and nuanced portrayal) is a member of the IRA and the titular "gunman" of the play.
Davoren, who has newly arrived to the boarding house and is the roommate of Seumus Shields (the humorous, hapless and unwitting Michael Mellamphy whose cowardice is recognizable and empathetic) is treated with dignity and great respect by the other residents. Minnie Powell (Meg Hennessy renders a feisty, sweet and charming portrait of innocence and bravery) especially finds Donal irresistible for she is enamored of the romantic notions of heroism and courage that gunman fighting for a free Ireland display. Of course, the irony O'Casey delivers in blow after blow by the end of the play dispels everyone's romantic notions of freedom fighters. And we are reminded that dying for freedom and liberty are propaganda, especially when there is a shortage of brave and courageous souls who are willing to take risks facing off against a loaded gun.
Terry Donnelly in the Irish Rep production of Sean O'Casey's 'The Shadow of a Gunman,' directed by Ciarán O'Reilly (Carol Rosegg)
O'Casey presents the issues and themes immediately. He introduces the Everyman's perspective which many of the renters embrace, particularly Mellamphy's Shields. And the playwright fronts that view against the poet/philosopher's pacifist view of Donal Davoren whom the renters believe to be with the IRA. The irony, if followed to its absurd conclusion in O'Casey's plot, rings with horrific truth, considering the results and follow-through of their beliefs about him.
Meanwhile, discounting their attitudes about, yet slyly thinking to capture Minnie's heart by saying little, to Shields Donal beats his breast and cries of the miseries and pains of being a poet. He rails against the commoners for whom he creates his art to little effect. Through him O'Casey reveals an ironic addendum. For all the angst and pain artists go through to create the beauties of art and literature, the works may or may not assert a place of importance in the hearts of citizens in a time of war. (Is O'Casey perhaps being sardonic about the importance of his own work through this character's mewlings?)
Director O'Reilly gives attention to each of these characters. In his rendition of Casey's work, we understand that they represent symbolic types in the human panoply of characters that manifest the cowardice and hypocrisy of those who inhabit every society in the throes of violent revolutionary change.
All of them reveal in one way or another the flaws that contribute to the tragedy that occurs by the play's end. For example the kowtowing, gossiping Tommy Owens (Ed Malone in a humorous turn) exemplifies the toady and hypocrite who brings on the trouble. The alcoholic and abusive husband Mr. Grigson screams out his position as an "Orangeman" sympathetic to the opposite side. John Keating manages to be sincere in his drunkenness and hysterical to boot. However, we note another side of him when Mr. Grigson and Shields swap stories of their bravery in the face of the British, who in actuality frighten them out of their wits. Only Donal remains silent and renders himself invisible in the face of terror. Though the lying bravado is typically understandable, it is also cringe-worthy. For men should be stronger, should they not? O'Casey smashes this notion by the play's end with a resounding exclamation point which this production succeeds in spearing through our hearts and minds.
(L to R): John Keating, Terry Donnelly, Michael Mellamphy in the Irish Reps production of Sean O'Casey's 'The Shadow of a Gunman,' directed by Ciarán O'Reilly Carol Rosegg)
Terry Donnelly as the long-suffering Mrs. Grigson delivers a superbly heartfelt, broken and poignant portrayal that takes us into a tragedy that we will remember long after the lights come up. Most importantly, the second act thrums with rapid pacing, suspense and "edge-of-your-seat" fear. We empathize with the Dubliners throughout the experience O'Reilly and the company put us through as they moment-to-moment envelop us with the emotion and horror of unfolding events in real time.
This immediacy is a vital element of O'Casey's work and the ensemble and the production team render it superbly. For it is the terrifying experience that delivers our epiphany of what the historic Dubliners went through and what occupying troops in Syria and Yemen put innocents through today. The civilians are gun fodder for wars they have not willingly signed on for. Surely, they do not anticipate their lives threatened and lifestyles destroyed by both sides of the warring factions on streets and in homes where children once played and all was safe and secure. Surely, they do not choose between the Scylla and Charybdis of becoming an escaping refugee or staying to be numbered among the dead or disappeared. It was so in Ireland, then, it is so in wars that dot our planet and fuel defense manufacturers' profits today.
As O'Casey reveals most acutely in the action conveyed by the actors, designers and director of this production, this is THE TERROR. And as the characters experience the horror, uncertainty and helplessness in the face of the oppression and tyranny from both sides, we experience it as well. The tragedy becomes that all who are present as witnesses become the accountable participants and they must live with the regrets imprinted on their souls until they are washed away, if ever.
Kudos to all in the acting ensemble who contribute to making this a soul-sonorous production. Kudos to the design team: Charlie Corcoran (scenic), Linda Fisher & David Toser (costume) Michael Gottlieb (lighting) Ryan Rumery & M. Florian Staab (sound) Ryan Rumery (original music).
This is a must-see, especially if you are unfamiliar with Shadow of a Gunman which runs with one intermission. The production is a wonderful introduction to Sean O'Casey and if you have been a forever fan, you will be very pleased. Additionally, the Irish Rep in celebration of the playwright is conducting free readings, symposiums, lectures, film screenings and music exhibitions.

Wimbledon still looking to strengthen ahead of the trip to Bantams
Assistant Manager Neil Cox with the latest from the training ground
Apologies, this video is unvailable.
Sign in to iFollow Dons
By Rob Cornell
Neal Ardley is aiming to make another addition to the Dons squad, while his side prepare for this Saturday's tough away trip to Bradford City.
"We're still working hard," said assistant manager Neil Cox in an update from the training ground with our iFollow Dons premium channel. "The gaffer has been on the phone this morning and Simon Bassey has been looking at a couple of games and we've been looking at other people.
"If we can get another signing over the line, as soon as possible, that is what we are trying to do. It's not easy, as clubs don't want to let players go on the cheap and we want to keep all of ours.
"We need one or two youngsters to go out on loan, just so that they learn their trade and play Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday for a first-team, wherever we can get them a game - that will be beneficial for all," added Neil.
The coaching staff continue to be impressed with their latest addition from Maidstone United in the January transfer window. Striker Joe Pigott has been working hard on his return to league football, after his goal-scoring debut as a substitute in the victory over Blackpool.
"The process of getting Joe Pigott into the team continues to be excellent. He's trained really hard and obviously he's coming into full-time training again. He's been out of it for a while, but he's done his little bit of extra work and finishing and he looks like he's a really good all-round player.
"He's coming up to speed with regular first-team football again and he's hungry to play games."
The weather has again disrupted preparations this week, with a League Cup match for the development squad at Merstham postponed and training switched to Carshalton Athletic today.
"It hasn't been easy, but I don't think we're the only club in the lower leagues that are struggling with pitches and the weather. Thank goodness we've been able to get some training and the boys have come through it.
"It's disappointing we didn't have a development game as two or three players need to get some minutes under their belt. Paul Robinson needs to play some games, it has been difficult, but the boys have worked really hard – as much as you can do on the 4G surface.
"We're travelling up in the morning and managing to train at Sheffield United and we're thankful to them for letting us train at their facilities. We've done a lot of organisational work ahead of tomorrow.
"Dean Parrett is struggling for match fitness and he will probably have to miss out again this week. Will Nightingale has got a sore knee, but it's not too bad. He's just twisted it on the ball. Everybody else is in contention."
Bradford last won on New Year's Day at Fleetwood. Since then, they've missed out on an FA Cup date with Manchester United as they went out to Yeovil. They've also lost their last three league games. However, they are fifth in the table and Neil knows Wimbledon face a stern test as they look to complete the double over the Bantams for this season.
"It's not going to be an easy match going there. I know they've had a few defeats, but they are a good side. They'll be strong, fit and organised and Stuart McCall will get them going and we're expecting a really tough game there."
The full five-minute update from the training ground with assistant manager Neil Cox is available to subscribers of iFollow Dons.

A Soul as Cold as Frost (Paperback)
By Jennifer Kropf
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good fright..."
The Quarrel of Sword and Bone was a death sentence for anyone who stepped into the arena with the deranged Queen, whose soul had crisped to frost in an age long since past.
What if St. Nicholas was really a young, mad trickster and you had the one thing he wanted? What if the only person who agreed to protect you from him had a dark past of letting those he's meant to protect die? What if one day you're walking in the city and suddenly you can see a whole other world tucked into the cracks of your own?
Sixteen-year-old Helen Bell understood tragedy better than most kids growing up. She knew what it was like to wear clothes from donation bins and be mocked in school. She thought those brutal experiences made her ready for anything, but when an encounter leaves her able to see a species of invisible people walking among us, and a young, handsome Winter guardian appears to aid her in a crisis, all the holiday legends she heard as a child begin to haunt her. After magical happenings infiltrate her daily life, and a train horn begins calling to her from across the city, she finds herself in the middle of a war of good versus evil.
A Soul as Cold as Frost is Jennifer Kropf's debut novel, ideal for fans of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling, and The Nutcracker and the Four Realms by Meredith Rusu and Ashleigh Powell.
"Wow, I loved this book I've not read anything quite like it before, and the author pulls it off wonderfully. This book was a magical twist between Narnia, Alice in Wonderland, and Spirited Away, yet somehow read as effortlessly original. The descriptions are vivid and really make you feel like you're freezing, trudging through snow, or drinking the best hot chocolate of your life. It was gripping, fast paced and full of action, yet not lacking in heart. Highly recommended for young YA readers upwards."

Community detection is a widely discussed topic in network science which allows us to discover detailed information about the connections between members of a given group. Communities play a critical role in the spreading of viruses or the diffusion of information. In ,  Kempe et al. proposed the Independent Cascade Model, defining a simple set of rules that describe how information spreads in an arbitrary network. In the same paper the influence maximization problem is defined. In this problem we are looking for the initial vertex set which maximizes the expected number of the infected vertices. The main objective of this paper is to further improve the efficiency of influence maximization by incorporating information on the community structure of the network into the optimization process. We present different community-based improvements for the infection maximization problem, and compare the results by running the greedy maximization method.

Q: Android Facebook SDK : "(# 404) Keyhash XXXXXX does not match any stored key hashes" I am trying Android Facebook integration for an app. I am new to this.
I have got the Facebook SDK & I am trying to run a few samples from there. When I run the samples I get this error " (# 404) Keyhash XXXXXX does not match any stored key hashes ".
The XXXXXX is probably my keyhash, I did some basic search about what it is. I read this and I compared the XXXXXX value with the Java Keytool.exe from my machine. There was a match with these numbers.
I have to get this working - I feel I have to add this somewhere on Facebook developer site. Can someone tell me if thats correct & also how to do it. OR my approach may be wrong too, if you can guide me to the correct approach. That will be helpful.
Thanks!

A: After spending few hours and referring few answers here. finally its worked for me. few observations:

*

*hashcode generated by Keytool is not same as hashcode showing in exception. Use the later one.

*For Facebook Sample apps we need to add the hash for SampleApp.Here if we entered the hash and click on SaveChanges its clearing and not saved.So before clicking the SaveChanges need to hit the enter key and make sure its not clearing.

*need to append = at the end of hashkey shown in exception.

A: Assuming that you know how to create a hash key, I suggest you to follow the below steps to add a hash key in FaceBook developer console of your app,
1. After creating a app, click on settings from the left side panel.
2. Select add platform.
3. From the pop up, select Android as your platform.
4. There you will find fields to enter Package Name, Class Name, and hash Keys.
5. Fill up the respective fields.You can enter many hash keys as well.
Note : If you enter wrong hash key, then it will show you the same error again.
hope it helps.

A: While generating release Hash key, Note this
Windows:
When generating the hash key for production you need to use openssl-0.9.8e_X64.zip on windows, you cannot use openssl-0.9.8k_X64.zip
The versions produce different hash keys, for some reason 9.8k does not work correctly... 9.8e does.
OR
Use this below flow
This is how I solved this problem
Download your APK to your PC in java jdk\bin folder
in my case C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_121\bin
go to java jdk\bin folder and run cmd then
copy the following command in your cmd
keytool -list -printcert -jarfile yourapkname.apk
Copy the SHA1 value to your clip board
like this CD:A1:EA:A3:5C:5C:68:FB:FA:0A:6B:E5:5A:72:64:DD:26:8D:44:84
and open Hex To Base 64 to convert your SHA1 value to base64.
For MAC
Step 1:
Generate SHA1 key by using below command
keytool -list -v -keystore
Enter Keystore password.
Copy SHA1 Key.
Step 2:
Open this link - Hex To Base 64
Paste the SHA1 Key in Hex String
Click convert button
Get the Release Keyhash in Output value

A: In addition to being aware of hash issues, you also need to make sure that the Facebook account on the device is an admin account, develop account or an account that has permission to participate in the test.
