Die Internationale Sechstagefahrt oder Six Days (International Six Days Enduro – ISDE, bis 1980 International Six Days Trial – ISDT) ist die wichtigste Motorsportveranstaltung im Endurosport. Der Wettkampf war die erste vom internationalen Motorradverband Fédération Internationale des Clubs Motocyclistes, einem Vorläufer der FIM, ausgeschriebene Veranstaltung. Die Internationale Sechstagefahrt ist ein Mannschaftswettbewerb und seit 1970 offiziell die Enduro-Weltmeisterschaft für Nationalmannschaften. Neben den Nationalmannschaften nehmen auch Club- und Werksmannschaften teil und werden separat gewertet.

Die Entwicklung der Six Days ist bestimmend für die ganze Entwicklung des Endurosportes. Regeländerungen wurden vielfach zuerst bei dieser Veranstaltung eingeführt und haben dann die anderen Veranstaltungen geprägt.

Geschichte

Entwicklung der Veranstaltung
Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts gab es im Vereinigten Königreich von Großbritannien und Nordirland die ersten Zuverlässigkeitsfahrten für Motorräder. So wurde ab 1903 das Six Days' Reliability Trial durchgeführt. Der 1904 gegründete internationale Motorradverband Fédération Internationale des Clubs Motocyclistes (FICM) war bestrebt, eine eigene Veranstaltung auszuschreiben. Da sich das Reglement der britischen Veranstaltung bewährt hatte, beschloss der Verband 1912 unter der Bezeichnung International Six Days of Regularity, für das folgende Jahr seine erste eigene Motorradsportveranstaltung auszuschreiben.

Die erste internationale Sechstagefahrt wurde vom 19. bis zum 23. August 1913 im englischen Carlisle als "First International Touring Trial" ausgetragen. Ziel des Wettkampfes war es laut Ausschreibung, "Zuverlässigkeit der Motorräder und das Können der Fahrer" zu ermitteln. Es traten zwei Nationalmannschaften (Frankreich und Großbritannien) sowie 155 britische Einzelfahrer an. Da das französische Team frühzeitig aufgab, siegte die britische Mannschaft.

Die Sieger erhielten einen vom britischen Motorsportverband gestifteten Wanderpreis (Trophy). – Daher wird der Sieg bei der Sechstagefahrt Trophy-Sieg genannt. Er verschwand 1939 nach der Veranstaltung in Salzburg und wurde 1949 durch einen Silberpokal aus der Zeit des englischen Königs Georg III. ersetzt.

Der Erste Weltkrieg unterbrach die Fortsetzung der Veranstaltung im folgenden Jahr. Erst 1920 konnten die nächste Sechstagefahrt in Frankreich durchgeführt werden. Seit dieser Zeit hatte auch die Siegernation das Recht, die Trophäe im eigenen Land zu verteidigen.
Da um die Trophy-Wertung nur Mannschaften mit im eigenen Land hergestellten Motorrädern fahren konnten, kam 1924 auf Anregung des holländischen Motorradverbandes der Wettbewerb um die Internationale Silbervase dazu, wo diese Pflicht nicht mehr bestand. Auch dieser Pokal wurde 1949 wegen des Verlustes durch einen Silberpokal aus der Zeit von Georg II. ersetzt. Bis einschließlich 1927 war es Fahrern möglich mehreren Nationalmannschaften anzugehören.

Ab 1939 durfte eine Sechstagefahrt nicht zweimal hintereinander im selben Land stattfinden. – Seit 1970 werden diese Regelungen nicht mehr angewandt. 1939 fand die Sechstagefahrt in Salzburg statt. Wegen der angespannten Lage reiste das britische Team am fünften Wertungstag ab, die FIM annullierte die Wertung der Veranstaltung nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg.

Nach acht Jahren Unterbrechung durch den Zweiten Weltkrieg fand 1947 die Sechstagefahrt wieder und zum ersten Mal in der Tschechoslowakei statt.
Bis zur Sechstagefahrt 1956 waren Gespanne und Dreiradfahrzeuge zugelassen.

In Erfurt fuhr 1964 zum ersten Mal ein US-amerikanisches Team bei den Six Days mit. Dies war gleichzeitig das erste Mal, dass ein US-Team in einem Staat des damaligen Ostblocks an einer Motorsportveranstaltung teilnahmen. Prominentestes Teammitglied war der Schauspieler und Hobbymotorsportler Steve McQueen.

Die Fahrer und die Motorräder mussten seit der ersten Austragung aus derselben Nation kommen. Mit dem Niedergang der Motorradherstellung in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren musste diese Regelung 1970 aufgegeben werden. Ab 1975 durfte nur noch eine Mannschaft je Nation in der Wertung um die Silbervase starten.
Um wieder eine Unterscheidung der Silbervase zur World Trophy zu schaffen, wird dieser Pokal seit 1985 als Junioren-Weltmeisterschaft gewertet und es wurde ein Alterslimit von 23 Jahren eingeführt.

1980 erfolgte die Umbenennung von International Six Days Trial (ISDT) in International Six Days Enduro (ISDE), um eine Verwechslung mit dem Trialsport zu vermeiden.

Die 95. Internationale Sechstagefahrt sollte ursprünglich zwischen dem 31. August und 5. September 2020 ausgetragen werden, wurde jedoch aufgrund der massiven Auswirkungen der COVID-19-Pandemie in Italien am 28. März 2020 abgesagt und vom Motorradweltverband FIM in Abstimmung mit der Federazione Motociclistica Italiana (FMI) auf das folgende Jahr verschoben.

Entwicklung ausgewählter Regularien
Wichtigste Punkte des Reglements waren und sind, dass fremde Hilfe streng verboten war und Reparaturen am Motorrad durch den Fahrer selbst erledigt werden mussten. Das Reglement wurde vielfach geändert um den sportlichen Anforderungen und den Wünschen der Verbände und der Industrie gerecht zu werden.

Ab 1980 wurden nur noch die besten fünf Fahrer der Trophy-Mannschaft und die besten drei Fahrer der Junior Trophy-Mannschaft gewertet, um beim Ausfall eines Fahrers nicht alle Siegchancen zu verlieren.

Bis 1994 wurden die gefahrenen Zeiten in Punkte umgerechnet. Ab 1995 traten weitere grundlegendere Änderungen im Reglement in Kraft, insbesondere wurde nunmehr eine Zeitwertung statt einer Punktewertung eingeführt.

2007 wurde die Women's World Trophy für die beste Frauenmannschaft eingeführt. 2016 wurde die bisherige Renn-Jury abgeschafft. Für jede Sechstagefahrt gibt es jetzt eine "Race Direction", die aus dem jeweiligen Fahrtleiter, dem FIM-Renndirektor und dem FIM-Streckeninspektor besteht. Einsprüche gegen Entscheidungen der Race Direction werden durch ein Gremium aus zwei FIM-Stewards und einem nationalen Steward behandelt. Letztes Entscheidungsgremium ist die FIM.

Technisches Regelwerk und Ablauf

Die Motorräder werden, wie bei den Motorrad-Meisterschaften üblich, vor dem Start einer technischen Kontrolle unterzogen. Dabei werden Teile, die nicht getauscht werden dürfen, mit einem Farbpunkt versehen. Folgende Bauteile werden markiert: Rahmen, Radnaben, Motorgehäuse und der Schalldämpfer. Eine fehlende Markierung führt zur Disqualifizierung des Fahrers und des Teams.

Bis auf wenige Ausnahmen ist es nur dem Fahrer gestattet, Reparaturen und Service-Arbeiten am Motorrad durchzuführen. Der Fahrer kann jederzeit während des Wettkampfes unmarkierte Teile am Motorrad wechseln. Die entsprechenden Ersatzteile sowie das Werkzeug kann er jedoch nur in den vorgeschriebenen Service-Zonen erhalten. Beim Wechsel von Motor- und Getriebeöl sowie der Luftfilter ist die Hilfe von Service-Personal gestattet. Die Nutzung von elektrischen und pneumatischen Werkzeugen ist verboten.

Nach der technischen Abnahme der Motorräder sowie zwischen den einzelnen Tagen müssen die Motorräder im Parc fermé abgestellt werden. Der Parc fermé muss sich immer unter freiem Himmel befinden. Dieser darf erst 15 Minuten vor dem Start von den Fahrern betreten werden. Arbeiten am Motorrad sind im Parc fermé verboten.

Zwischen dem Parc Fermé und der Startzone befindet sich ein Arbeitsbereich. In dieser Zone können die Fahrer vor dem Start notwendige Arbeiten am Motorrad durchführen. Ein Starten des Motorrades in diesem Bereich ist verboten und wird mit 5 Minuten Strafzeit geahndet. Die Fahrer können zehn Minuten vor ihrer Startzeit den Arbeitsbereich betreten.

Beim Start sollen in der Regel drei Fahrer pro Minute gleichzeitig starten. Es ist vom Veranstalter sicherzustellen, dass Start und Ziel nicht in der Dunkelheit erfolgen. Die Fahrer haben ab Beginn der Startzeit eine Minute Zeit eine 20 Meter nach der Startlinie angebrachte zweite Linie mit laufendem Motor fahrend zu überqueren. Das Motorrad darf nur mittels Kickstarter oder einer anderen bordeigenen Startvorrichtung gestartet werden. Sollte ein Fahrer diese Vorgaben überschreiten erhält er entsprechende Strafzeiten. Ein Fahrer hat maximal 15 Minuten Zeit, um zu starten, ansonsten wird er disqualifiziert.

Getankt werden darf während der Reparaturzeit in der Vorstartphase und während des Wettkampfes an vorgeschriebenen Tankpunkten.

Reifenwechsel sind nur in der Servicezone an der letzten Zeitkontrolle und bei der morgendlichen Servicezeit gestattet. Schläuche und Druckluft sind nur in den Service-Zonen erhältlich.

Die Motorräder müssen den in den jeweiligen Ländern geltenden Regeln für den allgemeinen Straßenverkehr entsprechen. Im Veranstaltungsland sind die vorhandenen Straßenverkehrsregeln beim Befahren von öffentlichen Straßen zu beachten.

Die Fahrer müssen während der Veranstaltung die Strecke in einer vorgegebenen Zeit bewältigen. Zur Kontrolle werden entsprechende Zeitkontrollen durchgeführt. Zeitkontrollen befinden sich am Start und am Ziel jeder Tagesetappe. Dazu kommen weitere Kontrollen im Abstand zwischen fünf und 35 Kilometer. Die notwendige Zeit zwischen zwei Zeitkontrollen muss so gewählt werden, dass die Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit nicht höher als 50 km/h liegt. Die Motorräder werden mit einem Transponder für die Zeitauswertung ausgestattet. Zusätzlich erhalten die Fahrer eine Wertungskarte in die die jeweiligen Zeiten an den Kontrollpunkten eingetragen werden. Verfehlt ein Fahrer eine Zeitkontrolle oder kommt er 60 Minuten zu spät wird er vom Wettkampf ausgeschlossen. Ist ein Fahrer eine Minute zu spät oder zu früh an der Zeitkontrolle erhält er eine Zeitstrafe von einer Minute.
Weiterhin werden Durchfahrtskontrollen durchgeführt, bei denen die Wertungskarte der Fahrer abgestempelt wird. Verfehlt ein Fahrer die Kontrolle oder stoppt nicht, wird er disqualifiziert.

An den ersten fünf Wettkampftagen sind dazu noch mindestens fünf Tests (Sonderprüfungen) pro Tag auszuweisen. Der Test muss eine Mindestlänge von drei Kilometer haben. Die Tests dürfen vorher nicht befahren werden. Eine Besichtigung zu Fuß ist erlaubt. Die Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit im Test darf 50 km/h nicht überschreiten.

Bis einschließlich des fünften Fahrtags befindet sich am Ziel vor der Einfahrt ins Parc Fermé die letzte Zeitkontrolle. Davor ist eine Service-Zone mit einer Vorziel-Zeitkontrolle angeordnet. Zwischen diesen zwei Zeitkontrollen hat der Fahrer 15 Minuten Wartungszeit, bevor er sein Motorrad im Parc Fermé abstellen muss.

Am letzten Tag muss ein Final Test durchgeführt werden. Der letzte Wertungstag kann auch aus nur diesem Test bestehen. Der Test soll in Form eines Motocross-Test durchgeführt werden. Es ist auch möglich, diesen Test als Straßenrennen, Rennen auf einer Rennstrecke oder als Supermoto zu veranstalten. Die Strecke muss ein Rundkurs sein, der fünf- bis zehnmal zu befahren ist. Die Gesamtlänge muss zwischen 10 und 18 Kilometern betragen.

Bei diesem Test starten alle Fahrer einer Wertungs- und Motorradklasse gleichzeitig.

Strolling further along the Moll de la fusta (timber dock), you'll come across this congruent couple by Chilean artist Lautaro Díaz Silva, another photo favourite for those interested in the free sculpture which Barcelona beaches have to offer.
Slightly abstracted yet perfectly conveying that intense intimacy born of long trust, these figures in bronze, finished in a greenish patina, depict a couple, possibly lovers, observing the sea. An interesting detail is the man's feet, which almost resemble a fish's tail. Is he a merman who has come up out of the waves to woo his earthbound lover, or are they both mer-folk, who have come ashore to watch the sunrise together? Díaz's decision not to raise the pair onto a pedestal works well to bring them closer to their public.
The artist's passionate expressionism is equally as deft and sculptural in the way he applies paint to his very tactile canvases. His figurative work is similarly pensive. The motif of a male and female couple is recurrent, whether convulsive and passionate, or in repose. In his abstracted works and videos, he makes vibrant use of colour and iconic forms that recur in an almost ritualistic manner while the basic elements of water, air, fire and earth are always in close proximity.
Now resident in Germany, Lautaro Díaz Silva focuses more on oils and video, exhibiting regularly in Berlin and Barcelona among other cities. Other Barcelona works include a homage to Salvador Allende, installed in plaça Salvador Allende, on 11 September 1997—to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the coup d'état that replaced Allende's government with Pinochet's bloody dictatorship. You can see an identical version of it—Allende's head mounted on the wall—in the camp de Mart, in Tarragona. Another installation, To Victor Jara, is located in Barcelona's Plaça Karl Marx.
A beautiful poem, Brigette. This is one of my favourite spots in Barcelona, especially in the evening when the crowds have died down a little.

For all the changes in how Ohioans vote, one problem that has remained untouched is provisional balloting. The state relies heavily on provisional ballots, even as experts point to the potential for lawsuits in a close election.
Provisional ballots are used when questions arise on Election Day, voters then casting a ballot that is set aside and counted after it can be checked. But not all provisional ballots are counted. In Ohio, thousands routinely are tossed aside � enough to mean the difference in a close race.
In 2008, some 40,000 out of 207,000 provisional ballots were tossed. Particularly troublesome were 14,000 rejected because they were cast in the wrong precinct, even though voters managed to find the right polling location. Thousands of Ohio voters who had done everything else right on Election Day were disenfranchised for going to the wrong table in a church hall, school gym or other voting location with multiple precincts, a problem most likely in urban areas.
On Monday, U.S. District Court Judge Algenon Marbley sought to correct the situation, ordering Jon Husted, the secretary of state, to tell elections boards to count all provisional ballots cast in the wrong precinct due to poll worker error. Marbley ruled in a suit brought by civil rights groups, the Service Employees International Union and others. The ruling also orders provisional ballots to be counted if rejected on purely technical grounds, such as not completely filling out information on the ballot envelope.
Husted is expected to appeal, arguing the wrong-precinct rule is not an undue burden and applies uniformly to all voters. Marbley correctly sees the larger picture, the state�s rule violating equal protection provisions in the Constitution.
In other words, disenfranchising thousands of voters due to what amounts to a clerical error is an unfair restriction. What�s more, given the state�s history of close elections, provisional ballots could be decisive, with lingering disputes over them further eroding voters� confidence in the idea that the elections system works for all.

Josh finally got his transfer cable and battery for his camera in the mail. Since my camera was broken when he came home for R&R we used his to take pictures and he brought the camera back with him. He left the cable at home and lost the battery who knows where. SOOOOO I am finally going to get to see the R&R pics... our anniversary :) This was back in April. He's sent me a few already, but when he gets home he's going to send me the rest.
This is a pic of Noah and I talking to Josh on the webcam.
Yes they are 8x10's... is there a problem with that?!
I thought I would share my picture walls with everyone. Though, you really cannot see every picture you CAN see that I have a bit of an obsession. I love my family and we're all so darn good-looking. Much more attractive than paint, anyway. I think it makes my house interesting, makes it feel more like a home.
I also have random pictures in every other room of the house. I try to change them up every once in awhile. Someone will send me a new one and I'll replace the old one I had up. I feel bad for the guys who have to pack this stuff up.
This child loves to get his picture taken. As soon as he sees the camera he starts posing haha.
We had a great weekend. All my friends came over for a BBQ and Noah was a little angel. Then he was an even bigger angel on Father's Day (aka my birthday) and he was helping me out around the house and giving me lots of kisses and hugs. We got to talk to Josh on the webcam and Noah kept waving and smiling and laughing. He tried to sign "I love you" (which I'm glad Josh got to see because it's hilarious) and he blew daddy kisses and said "BYE" about a million times. I'm pretty sure we gave Josh a good Father's Day. As good as we could!
I gave Noah a haircut today so he looks all old again. He loves it though because he thinks he's older than he actually is. Which is fine because that's how I treat him. Anyway I just thought I'd share my happiness and cuteness with everyone now that I finally have a camera again!!! :D Happy Birthday to meeeeeeee.
Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I live a pretty busy life, yet somehow it manages to not seem blog-worthy. My mom just came to visit me for my birthday (early... it's not until June 18th). We hadn't seen each other for over a year. TOO LONG! I was so glad she came to visit. We had a few late night conversations about our favorite topic: religion. She's pretty much the only person who I get that deep with on the topic. She understand me, I understand her... we're both really spiritual, but not religious. I really missed those conversations. When she left I felt like I had nothing to worry about. The things I had been worrying about were so trivial and pointless... politics and whatnot. I mean, what time do I really have to worry about that?! Granted, I will always have an opinion and I'll be an activist. But, I really would rather not worry about the state of the nation as much as I have been. I will worry about what I can control.

This has since proven to be one of the most notable initiatives in the history of the tour, as East Asia is becoming almost its second home. Shortly afterwards the tour also made its debut in the former Soviet Bloc at the Czech Open , but much less has come of this development as participation in golf in the former Soviet region remains low and sponsors there are unable to compete financially with their Western European rivals for the limited number of slots available on the main tour each summer.
The latter point is illustrated by developments in and In , Karlsson dropped out of the top 10 and Stenson remained.
It can be argued that since PGA Tour members have had far more wins and top 10 finishes in the seven co-sanctioned events in recent years, the 50 percent figure is a better reflection of the actual financial resources of the European Tour relative to its rival.

Nonetheless, in , an increasing amount of media attention was given to the perceived failure of the European Tour to attract as many leading players to its events as in the recent past.

Most were in the United Kingdom, but there were also several "national opens" in various countries of Continental Europe. However, for many decades it remained difficult if not impossible for golfers to earn a living from prize money alone.
By the post- World War II period prize money was becoming more significant, encouraged by the introduction of television coverage.
The European Tour is very self-conscious about its position relative to the PGA Tour, but the two have also steadily formed a partnership. In , the European Tour added the three U.

HARUD: The Foreboding Of Autumn
Oct 2, 2013 | Pratirodh Bureau
harud
Director: Aamir Bashir
Cast: Reza Naji, Shanawaz Bhat, Shamim Basharat, Salma Ashai
If you work with silence as your frame, every sound gets registered. If you work with scarcity as your chosen form, every little detail is capable of a surplus. Aamir Bashir takes this formal technique and builds from it his film Harud that matches, shot by shot, the gravitas of its subject, carefully 'seeking dignity,' as he puts it, 'in a violent place'.
Harud is set in Srinagar. It is about a Kashmiri Muslim family coming to terms with the disappearance of their son Tauqir. The film takes place in that breach which refuses to close when someone in the family is enforcedly disappeared by a power that is almost beyond redressal. In each shot, Tauqir's younger brother Rafiq and his parents Fatima and Yusuf are seen attempting to adequately mourn a loss that they do not know the final shape of, that they necessarily cannot know the final shape of. When someone dies, you mourn their death. The certainty of their going away is the vehicle of the mourning. When someone disappears, even that certainty is withheld from you. You live a kind of daily life in which no hope remains uncontaminated with despair, where the object of your loss is both perpetually retrievable and permanently lost at the same time. In such an anchorless world, we see Rafiq and his family trying to find directions, but as if with a compass that is missing the lodestone.
When he was asked to give a brief synopsis of the film to an interviewer in 2010, the year this film released, Bashir summarized that Harud, or Autumn, 'is about decay, it's about psychological decay, and you see this…through the family, primarily through the protagonist…Rafiq'. The film could not have released in any other year. 2010 was its necessary place in time. It was in the summer of that year when this decay, so acutely shared among so many in the valley, transformed and erupted from the hands of thousands of Kashmiri boys on the streets of Srinagar, most as young as Rafiq, who picked up stones and hurled them at police and paramilitary forces on whose shoulders the Indian occupation in Kashmir rests. The film begins with this real time footage of stone-throwing. These young men on the streets provide the film its epigraph.
2010 was also when the actual story of the disappearance of the Nadihal men – a story more terrible because it mirrored many more like it – had broken out. A Special Police Officer had offered army jobs to three young men in the Nadihal village. Mohammad, 19, an apple farmer, Riyaz, 20, a herder and Shahzad, 27, a laborer were given a paltry sum of money and were taken to a remote army camp in Machil where nine soldiers shot them down. This was done to claim the reward money that the Indian state offers for the killing of 'militants'. In the script that the army wrote for its press release shortly after the massacre, this herder, laborer and apple farmer were found in the possession of three AK-47s, one Pakistani pistol, ammunition, cigarettes, chocolates, dates, two water bottles, a Kenwood radio and 1,000 Pakistani rupees. In the last quarter of a century in Kashmir, if a young man goes missing, you shudder to imagine the possible consequences he or his body has met, what official script he or it has been instrumentalized towards. The endless speculation makes you fall apart, the cost of conflict comes home with every living second without him who has vanished.
This is why Harud patiently bears out its each second. The film makes of allocating screen time to objects, scenes and characters an art, marking affiliation with how time looks like when in grief. The camera focuses long on the face, particularly the scorching eyes of Rafiq, played by Shanawaz Bhat. It rests gently and with an always uneasy calm on landscapes. It saddles together the unmatched beauty of the valley with its fragility, with the constant fear that attends the streets of downtown Srinagar and their inhabitants. This constancy of fear hangs like a fog which obscures the legendary beauty of the valley. In fact, the film, as Bashir claims, is about the exact opposite of beauty, it is 'about decay', that particular passage of time when beauty disappears slowly. Autumn for Bashir is both a season and a metaphor for this decay that takes its toll almost silently. No matter how beautiful that time of the year is, 'in Kashmir,' Bashir says, autumn 'is also a precursor to dark winters', one has to prepare for them, one has to be ready to cope with them. In one of the recurring sequences of the film wherein the camera follows Rafiq closely as he vends newspapers at dawn in Srinagar, he cycles past a shop of wrist-watches that has not yet opened. 'Timex,' the shop front reads, 'Life is Ticking.' Bashir keeps his screen time patiently ticking, every moment pregnant with apprehension, till it explodes in the last shot.
But the opposite of fear also stalks the valley, that is, the real antonym of fear, not tranquility, but courage. In 1991, Parveena Ahangar's son, like Tauqir, had also disappeared. He was at his uncle's home where he had been studying when he was picked up by the Indian security forces during a search and cordon exercise and was taken away in a van. Javaid Ahangar was nineteen then and Parveena never heard of him again. Through these years the grief has remained as raw as the day she lost him. She went from every police station she could find, every interrogation centre, hospital and camp looking for him. During these searches, she met those who were her exact mirror images, scores of parents and relatives of men and boys who had been enforcedly disappeared in Kashmir. She invited them to make this search for their loved ones a collective one and in 1994 the Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP) was formed. Soon, those who joined APDP found that disappearances were not the crimes of a few aberrant officers of the police or the army, but that they were systemic and were implicit in the way an occupation structures itself on the land it arrogates. Families after families filed habeas corpus, literally 'produce the bodies', writs in the Srinagar high court most to no avail. In HarudTauqir's mother Fatima goes regularly for the sit-ins and protests of the APDP holding a portrait of her son. She is accompanied by many like her who face the sorrow of possibly outliving their own children, each holding on to the portraits. Rafiq accompanies her.
If time begins to loom large when someone goes missing, that which is the visual becomes more defined. It becomes subject to an alertness that is pervasive and almost instinctive in the way that people see things around them in Kashmir. In fact, an alertness to all that is visible is the strategy of the DOP of the film, Shanker Raman, who is also one of the writers of its screenplay. A kind of alertness that people always have in zones of conflict, where every surface is capable of shock, where what you will see next cannot be predicted. As Raman shoots the calm surfaces of the valley, as he distills them into mind-bogglingly beautiful frames, the story he tells, keeps scratching these surfaces, his plot keeps exploring the crises into which these scenes plunge very often. In fact, the central conceit of Harud is also something which rests on the visual, on how we look, and how we strive to capture that which we look at – the camera. As a tangible object, it dominates screen time. As a plot device, it marks a watershed moment in the trajectory of Rafiq's character. As a tool, it is how he engages with the world decaying around him.
Rafiq is part of an entire generation in Kashmir that has picked up the camera (or the microphone, or the pen). It is a generation of young film-makers, photographers, journalists, rappers and writers that have started telling the stories of Kashmir in the 90s, the decade they gave their childhood to. These stories and images were previously untold and unseen; they do not match the versions that circulate in Delhi's big press circles or its parliament. These young men and women, based both in Kashmir and outside, have taken it upon themselves to distribute in any which way – whether leaking, publishing, uploading or shouting out – the stories of Kashmir's autumn, that is, the stories of disappearances, of unidentified mass graves, of illegal encounters and of police violence on protests in the streets of Srinagar and in the snowed hinterlands of their valley. They give utterance to the word, one which remains graffitied on the walls of Srinagar (Rafiq cycles past it), azadi, and explore all that it could mean.
The camera that Rafiq stumbles upon in Harud was his brother Tauqir's who had been a tourist photographer before he disappeared. In the two years after 2010, much noise has been made about the return of the tourists to the valley and their presence has been taken to mean that peace has come to roost here and that Kashmir has finally agreed to sign, no questions asked, on the covenant of perpetual belonging with India. Rafiq's generation has made it amply clear that this calm is enforced and superficial, that this surface if stretched will not hold. It has not been easy for them to do this. The State government has attempted to censor online communication, has cracked down on facebook and twitter and has tarnished wikileaks, the nationalist media has ignored searing content that merits to be breaking news, dissenting individuals have been disallowed entry into J&K and several of the young, of the really young, have been put in jails on unfound charges. When Rafiq picks up the camera, he picks up that which photojournalists on the streets of Kashmir have been beaten up for picking, for stealing an image that does not fit into the narrative of peace that is being sold en masse to the rest of the world.
The tourist can never see what the Kashmiri sees. The tourists' gaze is circular, he looks at that which others exactly like him also look at, so he only sees Dal Lake or its shikaras, in soft light and sanitized proportions, and he goes back to the hotel room at night. Above all, he leaves soon, and even when he comes to Srinagar, he comes mainly in spring or summer, not in winter or harud. Rafiq and his generation's penetrating gaze cuts through the circularity of this gaze of the tourist. It does not look at the same places in Kashmir and when it does it does not look in the same, hurried way. They persevere with what they look at. They persist without hurry letting the places yield all their significances. When Rafiq photographs Dal Lake, as he does in an extended and central sequence in the film, he photographs a shikara with the paramilitary jawans sitting in it, each of their postures alert, each of their guns ready, and Dal's silver waters extend for miles behind them. When you choose stillness as your frame, as Bashir and his protagonist do, you notice all the incongruities, that constant admixture of beauty and fear that becomes inevitable if you live in Kashmir. The images that Tauqir clicked – of Indian tourists in Kashmiri costumes – shied away from this admixture in selecting only the beautiful because the tourist desired only the beautiful. When asked why he chose a muted background score for his film, Aamir Bashir reasoned that he was 'very conscious of the fact that' he does not 'hear any music in Kashmir [he meant Kashmir does not lend itself to an undemanding sort of music] because it is not that kind of a place anymore, in my eyes,' he said, 'it is not pretty anymore, there is so much mistrust in the air, it is such a dark place'. Does the tourist ever see the dark place in the place that he sees?
Other than the stone-throwers of 2010, one other man givesHarud its epigraph. The last couplet of the Kashmiri-American poet Agha Shahid Ali's Tonight is the first thing we see – 'And I, Shahid, only am escaped to tell thee – God sobs in my arms. Call me Ishmael tonight.' Earlier this year, when I met a close friend of Shahid's in Srinagar, he spoke of everything about Shahid and Kashmir other than how the police and army squashed the militancy through the 90s and later, this he could not speak about, how the police and army did this was the point at which words left him, he said, I will begin to cry if I speak of it now, not here, we were sitting in a public café off M.A. Road, and he left those stories at that, at that brink of speaking. These are stories beyond all accounting which are now coming so searingly into light. These are stories that defy reason and the basic measures of compassion that we expect even from the worst, let alone the one's (allegedly) own government. These are stories like that of enforced disappearances. Like how so many of the 2010 children went – even official records say that more than a hundred perished that year – of them, there were the stone throwers who met bullets as a reply for their stones, but of them were also the boys playing carom, boys returning from their tuitions, boys looking at the protests from a distance. 'A brigadier,' Agha Shahid Ali also wrote, 'says, the boys of Kashmir break so quickly, we make their bodies sing, on the rack, till no song is left to sing.' When you reside in Kashmir, you do not have to do a lot to be in the line of a bullet. Sometimes, you have to do nothing at all.Harud takes off from here and tells us that, going like this, a harsher winter awaits us in Kashmir.

Family Menus
Who decides what goes into school lunches?
by Debra Ronca
Lunch trays aren't always a healthy or delicious sight. See more school lunch pictures.
C Squared Studios/Getty Images
School lunches suffer from an image problem. Mystery meat, artery-clogging French fries and soggy vegetables are the stereotype, and plenty of controversy swarms the lunch tray. Is the food healthy enough? Are children getting the nutrients they need? Everyone seems to have an opinion. But have you ever wondered exactly who decides what kids eat at school?
The National School Lunch Program
The majority of America's schools participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), which provides low-cost or free lunches to more than 30 million kids a day. Signed into law in 1946 by President Harry S. Truman, the government originally implemented the program to absorb farm surpluses, while simultaneously providing meals to school age children.
Any school district or independent nonprofit school participating in the NSLP receives cash subsidies and food from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). In turn, the school's meals must meet federal nutrition requirements. These nutrition requirements are as follows:
No more than 30 percent of the meal's calories may come from fat.
Less than 10 percent of the meal's calories may come from saturated fat.
Meals must provide one-third of the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) of protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iron, calcium and calories.
It's worth noting that many experts feel these federal nutrition guidelines are out of date and that the food distributed by the NSLP isn't much healthier than some fast food. President Obama's White House chef, for example, states the NSLP meals are high in fat, preservatives and high fructose corn syrup. Critics of the NSLP also believe that agricultural lobbyists influence the food and commodities donated to the schools through the program [source: Parker-Pope]. Parents and nutrition experts alike are calling for a complete overhaul of the program [source: Waters, Heron].
Meeting the Requirements
Schools meet the program requirements for school lunches in any way they choose -- as long as nutrition satisfies the federal guidelines. The NSLP is implemented on a national level and administered on a state level. Local school authorities make decisions on the specific foods and meals prepared and served. The USDA provides food service staff with guidelines on preparing nutritious meals, through a program called Team Nutrition. These resources offer tips to make cafeteria food healthier, with strategies on reducing fat, sodium and retaining the most nutrients possible.
Budget Challenges
Providing healthy school lunches within a limited budget is a challenge. Most schools today don't even have full kitchens due to school lunch budget slashes. Food is instead prepared off-site and simply heated up and served at the school. Moreover, here's a little-known fact about the NSLP: The reimbursement money given to schools must also cover everything from janitorial services to heating the cafeteria. Typically, schools receive about $2.50 for each meal they serve.
School Lunch Alternatives
Some school districts may find the NSLP unsatisfactory and choose to implement alternatives or supplement the NSLP. For example, the Farm-to-School Program aims to connect schools with local farms. Students learn about the journey of their food "from farm to fork," and local produce appears in school meals. School gardens also provide opportunities for nutrition education, as well as produce to round out cafeteria offerings. Of course, these programs require money and resources, and it's up to the school district to figure out how to get them.
The National School Lunch Act was a direct response to the fact that many potential World War II soldiers were ineligible to fight due to malnutrition stemming from the Great Depression.

Japanese Game Industry Needs to Understand the West
By crazymoviefan Leave a Comment
Categories: Uncategorized and Video Game
Tags: hideo kojima, Japan, video games
At least that is the opinion of Hideo Kojima, one of the most famous Japanese game developpers, creator of the Metal Gear series.
http://www.1up.com/news/hideo-kojima-japanese-obsession-overseas
It's been a frequent chorus in Japanese mags and online sites for a couple of years now. There's a gap in development skill between Japanese and Western developers; the US and Europe aren't interested in Japanese games the way they used to be; something needs to be done about this. Hideo Kojima, mastermind of the Metal Gearseries, isn't so sure about that any longer."Do we really need to succeed worldwide?" he asked Famitsu magazine in an interview published in this week's issue. "That's what I'm really wondering about. Everyone talks about overseas, overseas, but nobody's really thinking about what needs to be done if we want to succeed. We get obsessed with thinking about worldwide because we've had previous success with games and anime worldwide, but none of those successes matter nowadays. When you're making a game, it doesn't matter what nationality the team is — I think there was a lack of understanding among Japanese developers on that issue. It all comes down to the team you have. Even if I brought in the best developer in the world, it won't result in anything if nobody around him understands what he says."
It may sound a bit like Kojima, whose flagship series has always sold better overseas than in Japan, is hoisting up the white flag. However, he sees it more as simply accepting reality. "It's hard to feel this when you're in Japan, but there is a gap opening between the West in terms of pure quality," he said. "If you're trying to break out overseas, then I think the only way is to divide your development teams between the Japanese and global markets. It's impossible to encompass it in a single group — everything needs to be separate, down to the office and pay structure. There are loads of talented developers overseas, but you can't get them unless you spend the money. If you base your calculations off the standard Japanese salary structure, nobody's going to come to you. It's the difference between what you pay a Hollywood star versus a Japanese film star."
So it's a money issue, but Kojima also noted that it's a case of Japanese developers wanting their cake and eating it too — in other words, striving for acceptance (and sales) in the US, but not really making the changes required to make that happen. "To put it in an extreme fashion, Americans like games where you have a gun and you're shooting at space aliens," he said. "If you don't understand why that's fun, then you shouldn't be making games for the world market; you don't need to. I mean, Japanese people might say 'Why space aliens?', but Americans will counter with 'What's with these games featuring these feminine-looking boys fighting in Japan with these huge swords?' It's no wonder the target audience for a lot of games is getting so compartmentalized."
Diverging genres of gaming — and, in fact, the blurring of genres across the industry — also play a role. "In the 8-bit days," Kojima noted, "you had to symbolize a lot of things and make gamers follow certain rules. In the West, that did a complete 180 starting with the PS2. It's no longer the game designer's job to think up the rules; his job is to dissect gamers' preferences and build a world they can get addicted to. That's why having FPSes dominate the US market into the future is absolutely fine by me."
So where does the answer lie in Kojima's mind? To him it's simple: make useful changes. That was somewhat symbolized with Kojima's reveal of the Fox Engine before E3. "Once that's complete, we'll be able to develop games more intuitively as well as far more efficiently," he told Famitsu "That's the way games are normally developed overseas, but we just didn't have that."
Archer: The Return of the Adult Cartoons
By crazymoviefan 3 Comments

Ever since Family Guy and Futurama, there weren't many succesful cartoons for the adult audience in America. Surely, there were some shows like American Dad or Bob's Burgers which had their 15 minutes of fame and then quited down. Yet, it wasn't anything spectacular and the American cartton industry started falli apart.
But eveerything is not over. With Archer, FX strike and strike hard.
The plot consists basically of the secret agent Archer, who works for his horny mother's spy agency. Accompanied by his hot ex, his ex's new boyfriend and other losers, Archer does funny shit and has a lot of sex.
This show is literally amazing, full with a lot of tits and incredible jokes.It is like watching James Bond written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. In its third season, this show is definitely promising and, hopefully, will stay awesome for a long, long time.
#9 Telephone – Lady Gaga ft. Beyoncé (Top 10 Worst Songs of 2010)
Categories: Fun, Lady Gaga, Music, Random, Soundtrack, Top 10, Uncategorized, Video and Worse
It's hard to believe, but there are actually two women in this picture. Can you find them?
I like Telephone. The beat is good and I can see myself dancing to it. The music video on the other side is complete crap, thus making the song worth to be amongst the worst of 2010.
First, let's take a look at the lyrics. It's about a woman, I guess, who is constantly being called while being on a party. This problem can be easily solved and we could have been avoided 3:41 minutes of annoying sounds only if Gaga had turned her cellphone off. Also, is it really a subject worth singing for? I mean who cares that someone won't stop calling you? Just don't pick up the damn phone! And comparing it to "a disaster" is a bit over-exaggerated.
Lady Gaga, why you no turn phone off???
Now, here comes the music video. A little less than 50% is the actual song. Most of it is a poor attempt for a movie.
Female prisons are part of every male sexual fantasy. The one from Telephone is an exception. Why? Because it has Lady Gaga. I cannot imagine the idiot who had the idea to do this? WE DON'T WANT TO SEE LADY GAGA NAKED!!! If possible, I'd not like to see her at all, but that's life.
The intro is too long. You have to wait until 2:54 to actually hear some music. Until, then you get to watch Lady Gaga being weird.
I like it how in the beginning the "female" guard explains that Lady Gaga lacks male genitalia. It is as if they are trying to convince us that she is actually a woman.
At this point, I'd like to introduce to you a new segment called: "The WTF Lady Gaga moment". It's time devoted to admiring the fashion taste of Lady Gaga and questioning on her sex.
WTF Lady Gaga Moment 1
One of the main reasons why female prisons are a male fetish is the possibility of lesbians engaging in diverse sexual activities. I highly doubt that any man had ever imagined something similar to this video.
Not your average lesbian fantasy
Oh and at this point, I believe it's worth mentioning who has sponsored this piece of shit.
Virgin mobile - you don't need to be a virgin to use us
I bet Virgin Mobile regret this right now.
The next scene we see a girl fight. It's at this point that you might ask yourself: "Don't they wear uniforms in prisons?" If you do have such questions, leave them away. There are too many other things which make no sense. It's no time to be picky now.
So, as I said, this is the scene when the song actually starts. We are almost at the three minutes mark. Oh, and of course, how can we forget another WTF moment.
Afterward, we are awarded by a lingerie dance scene. This would have been hot if not for the boner-breaker Lady Gaga.
Lady Gaga leaves the prison and this makes us very happy because we will not see her naked anymore.
This moment of joy is brought to you by Virgin Mobile
So now, we have Beyoncé and Lady Gaga together in the car. Would this mean an interesting sex scene? Or probably a twist in the glorious plot of this video? No. But we do have another WTF moment.
I can never really understand the meaning of the car scene. I guess that Lady Gaga and Beyoncé are some sort of girlfriends. Nevertheless, this does not explain the nonsensical clichés. Let's observe for a moment the wisdom leaking out of Lady Gaga's mouth.
Lady Gaga: You sure you want to do this, honey bee?
Beyoncé: What do you mean am I sure?
Lady Gaga: You know what they say: "Once you kill a cow, you gotta make a burger."
Who says that, Gaga? Who? I have worked at Burger King and McDonald's. No one has EVER said something that stupid! NO ONE!!!
So, the following scene, we have Lady Gaga and Beyoncé killing, for God knows what reason- it's not important, all the customers in a restaurant. Their plan is ingenious: Gaga, dressed as a waitress, poisons the food of everybody. The average listener might ask himself or herself: "Who would engage Lady Gaga as a waitress? How can she poison the entire kitchen?" Well, as previously mentioned, such questions are futile. Why? Because we have another WTF moment.
This WTF moment was brought to you by Miracle Whip!
Miracle Whip - yeah, we regret it.
It is hard to say, but the video actually made sense until now. From now on, it went fully into an orgy of idiocracy.
Beyoncé is asking herself when did her career go so wrong
It is seriously series of spasms, repeated lyrics and absurd dances. And of course, we have:
So, this is it. Still, I feel that something is missing. Yes, yes, something essential. What could it be?
Oh yes, Beyoncé was not featured in any of the WTF Lady Gaga moments. No worries, it's easily fixed:
Now, the song is okay, but the video is extremely annoying. The thing I hated the most was the featuring of the Pussy Wagon. Why did Tarantino let this be in it? Is he so desperate for money?
I'd sell my mother to have more money!!!
The good news is that it's over. After 9 minutes and 31 seconds of torture, Telephone is over. No more. None.
#10 Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby) – Jedward (Top 10 Worst Songs of 2010)

Jedward - The Shame of Ireland
When I began researching to find the worst songs of 2010, I unfortunately fell over this one. It had so far miraculously escaped from my shit-detecting radar. This is sadly not the case anymore.
While I was watching this masterpiece of turd, I had several observations:
Who the fuck are these fagots?
White people can't rap.
Britain should consider death penalty for these two.
All those who voted for them are bloody morons.
Identical twins are creepier than gingers.
Gingers, you've got some tough competition
Seriously, who is Jedward? They are apparently some British pop stars who became very famous in the reality show called The X Factor. Which lead me to the reflection that British people are complete morons. Why would anyone vote for them? Dear Britain, you need to get hold of yourself. If you go on like this, Canada might just consider separating.
Observing these fagots is like watching Robert Patterson and his clone singing Christmas carols. But enough with their appearance. What about the music?
The man behind Jedward
I must include first that I am a huge fan of David Bowie and Queen. Moreover, Under Pressure is one of my all-time favorite songs. Furthermore, I consider Ice Ice Baby as a listenable song.
Now this said, WHY WOULD ANYONE COMBINE THESE TWO? WHY???????
I KNOW WHAT THIS IS. SATAN HIMSELF HAS CHOSEN TWO OF HIS BEST SERVANTS AND HAS SENT THEM TO EARTH TO FEED ON OUR SOULS.
I have uncovered your plans!!!!!
In few words, this song is junk. And the fact that it's only on tenth place means that we have a long way until the top.
Also, Jedward consider representing Ireland in 2011 for Eurovision. If they are chosen, someone needs to nuke that country.

Thanks for commenting. I look forward to Jeff Dye's critique.
I prefer the b&w version... the b&w treatment seems to isolate Liz in the picture and one doesn't really notice, for example, her reflection in the mirror. Her extended arm pose works to lead the viewer through the image with, as with the b&w format, the catch lights serve to bring the young lady to life before my eyes.

Q: Loose class coupling and data access I am trying to implement a complicated class whose construction requires the specification of a condition that allows the constructor to determine when the object has been constructed. Consider, for instance:
class RigidBody
{
    private:
        std::vector<double> trajectory_;
        // Other stuff...
    public:
        RigidBody(std::unique_ptr<TerminateCondition>, std::vector<double> const &);
        // Other stuff...
};

Here is what the constructor might look like:
RigidBody::RigidBody(std::unique_ptr<TerminateCondition> condition, std::vector<double> const &p)
{
    int n = 0;
    while(!condition->Done( /* Signature */))
    { n++;
      /* Do other stuff... */
      // such as, trajectory_.push_back(sin(n * dt));
    }
}

I imagine TerminateCondition to be an abstract class.
Demand 1: Access to RigidBody members
I would like class TerminateConditionAtRest: public TerminateCondition to be able to use trajectory_, so that I could terminate on conditions such as std::abs(trajectory.back() - trajectory_[0]) < epsilon. Would I need to force Done(...) to take a vector const & as an input argument and pass trajectory_ to it?
Demand 2: Flexibility with signature of Done(...)
I might want class TerminateConditionNumSteps: public TerminateCondition to flag Done when n > 1000 or something similar. Basically, I could use some flexibility with the /* Signature */ in there.
How do I achieve such a setup, wherein TerminateCondition->Done can make use of as diverse a set of variables available in the scope of the RigidBody constructor, such as private members like trajectory_ or locals like n?
I'm just looking for ultimate flexibility in modeling the loop termination condition. It doesn't seem like an abstract class allows one to be flexible with input argument signature. On the other hand, an abstract class seems like the only thing that would allow me to specify the condition at run-time.
Thanks.

A: It is just my thought. Maybe you wanna use something like that?:
class TrajectoryCreator
{
public:
   virtual vector<float> create(const vector<float>& path) = 0;
}

Then you can create specific trajectory you want:
RigidBody( TrajectoryCreator& t, const vector<float> &p)
  : trajectory_(t.create(p))
{}

Main idea of this solution is move logic of creation of trajectory in separate class

Georgia Pastor Sees Holy Spirit Demolish Demonic Spirit of Abandonment
⇑ back to "A Pastor's Heart"
2:00PM EDT 5/20/2021 Shawn A. Akers
Pastors Cary and Janet Swanson (MYCRCC YouTube channel)
Pastor Janet Swanson knows what it's like to face severe spiritual warfare. At one point, her marriage began to fall apart, her son became sick, her church suffered a split and the family's finances came under attack.
The enemy continued to speak lies to her, and discouragement became a regular part of her life.
"Everything in our life, it seems, was attacked at one time. We were in it, and everything seemed like it was falling apart," Swanson told Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network. "In my head, and then in my spirit, the enemy kept telling me things like, 'Your husband doesn't love you. He's going to leave you.' The church is like, 'You're worthless. Nobody wants you. Nobody cares about you.'
But deep in her heart, Swanson knew because of His promises in the Bible God would never abandon her. On a drive home to Statesboro, Georgia, from visiting a friend in Atlanta, God spoke the truth she needed to hear.
Her spirit began to heal, and she went through the Healing Streams program. She arose from the pit and regained her confidence. She is now impacting the kingdom again through her preaching and through media, including her podcast One Voice on the Charisma Podcast Network.
"When we were going through this transition, the Lord was causing these things to surface," she said. "And I heard the voice of the enemy speak these things to me. I knew it was a demonic spirit. I just said, 'You know what? I'm just going to get up.'
"On the way home from Atlanta, the Lord spoke to me and said, 'I'm going to heal your marriage. The enemy is a liar. When I got home, the Holy Spirit entered our room and began to heal us both at that moment. It was powerful. The voice of the enemy was silenced immediately. Our marriage, our hearts, turned back to each other again and we began to gradually come out of that dark pit. The Lord was bringing us out and bringing us through. He was a faithful God to do that. I'm just so grateful.
"God brought us through that time and He walked me through the issues that I was going through, the issues of abandonment, the issues that I thought I wasn't a good enough pastor and other things. He's a healer. He knows how to do it."
For the rest of Pastor Janet Swanson's incredible story, listen to the entire episode of Greenelines on the Charisma Podcast Network. And tune into One Voice to hear more on how the Lord is working through Pastor Janet's ministry.

What specific conditions are typically managed by a Neuro-ophthalmologist?
Double Vision from "muscle imbalance"
If the human eye works like a camera, we can imagine that the "processing of the film" into what we see as visual images is transmitted by the optic nerves from the globe of the eye, to their visual pathways in the brain and finally towards the visual processing centers at the back part of the brain. This is the realm of a Neuro-ophthalmologist, i.e., an eye specialist with special interest in the eye manifestations of diseases or injuries of the optic nerves and visual pathways (everything behind the eye involved in the visual process). Included in this field are brain pathways and processes involved in the control of eye movements. Several neuro-ophthalmic symptoms are also manifestations of systemic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, stroke, cardiovascular diseases, multiple sclerosis, brain tumor, and many others.
Some common neuro-ophthalmic conditions affecting vision include optic neuritis and toxic optic neuropathy (from intake of anti-TB medications); while examples of those affecting eye movements are cranial nerve strokes and thyroid disease. Patients with eye problems secondary to brain tumors or strokes, as well as migraines are also commonly seen in the neuro-ophthalmologist's clinic.
Optic neuritis is an inflammatory condition of one or both optic nerves causing decreased vision, accompanied by changes in color perception and contrast sensitivity. These symptoms are usually rapid and progress in days, ranging from mild to severe, and usually accompanied by eye pain or pain on eye movement. In temperate countries, optic neuritis is commonly associated with a neurologic condition called multiple sclerosis. In the Philippines, a vast majority of cases have no identifiable cause (presumed to be secondary to occult infections). On a case-to-case basis, intravenous steroid therapy may be beneficial in some patients.
Tuberculosis is still a major problem in a developing country like the Philippines. Especially in rural areas, triple or quadruple anti-tuberculosis medications are rampantly prescribed, with poor compliance in many cases leading to over or under-medication. Unfortunately, some of these drugs, most notably Ethambutol and Isoniazid have a propensity for causing toxicity to the optic nerves. As with many optic nerve conditions, damage caused by these drugs may be irreversible and some permanent loss of vision or color perception persists despite discontinuation of medication intake. This does not suggest that patients stay away from these drugs at all. The systemic benefits of these drugs in patients with tuberculosis outweigh the small risk of toxicity. Ideally however, patients who are about to start anti-TB medications should visit an ophthalmologist who will take baseline measurements of visual function. These tests are repeated every 1-2 months to watch out for the earliest signs of toxicity so that the prescribing internist may be advised accordingly.
One or more muscles controlling eye movements may occasionally be weakened by an infarction of their corresponding nerve supply. The resulting muscle imbalance may lead to symptoms like double vision and drooping of the eyelid. Many cases are benign and are caused by systemic conditions like diabetes and hypertension. They usually resolve spontaneously in 3-12 months without any treatment. Some may be caused by more innocuous conditions (see below).
Thyroid disease can manifest in the eye with or without the clinical presence of hyperthyroidism. Symptoms include proptosis ("eyeballs seem to pop out of their sockets"), double vision, eyelid retraction ("frightened appearance"), red/congested eyes, and blurred vision. Depending on the severity of symptoms, a wide range of treatment options is available and can range from plain medical therapy to surgical procedures.
As vast areas of the brain are involved in the overall function of the visual system, injuries from strokes or brain tumors affect vision and eye movements in various ways depending on the extent and location of the lesion. These include loss of vision (often described as loss of a particular field of vision, say, peripheral areas or one-half of the visual field), and "muscle imbalance" with inability to move the eye to a particular position, leading to double vision. Several post-stroke patients may also have visual perception difficulties, meaning the visual pathway may be intact, but the processing of the information is affected (the patient may not "understand' what he sees). Occasionally, patients with neuro-ophthalmic signs and symptoms from brain tumors are initially seen by the ophthalmologist, who then makes the crucial primary diagnosis and subsequent referral to a neurosurgeon. Ideally, the neuro-ophthalmologist, neurologist, and neurosurgeon should all be involved in the long term management and care of these patients (as well as in many other neuro-ophthalmic conditions).

dc.description.abstract Objective: To report care pathways of tuberculosis (TB) patients under the integrated model, where TB clinical service is provided by a general hospital instead of the TB dispensary, with the aim of providing policy recommendations for TB care reforms in China. Methods: Six counties implementing the integrated model were randomly selected, and 50 TB patients in each county participated in a questionnaire survey. Results: Of the 301 participants, 82 visited only the TB designated hospital. A patient visited a median of two health providers in total. The median external provider delay and internal provider delay were 1 and 0 day, respectively. The median out-of-pocket medical costs were US$379 in total; US$293 in the TB units and US$0 in other health units in the TB designated hospital. Logistic regression analyses suggested that patients who visited the primary care facilities first tended to have longer external delays (OR = 5.71) than patients who visited the other hospitals (OR = 10.16). Conclusion: The integrated model is promising as it reported relatively fewer patient pathways and shorter delays than the dispensary model. However, the integrated model did not reduce patient out-of-pocket costs. 2013 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
