Background: The patient's perspective of their facial scar after skin cancer surgery influences perception of care and quality of life (QoL). Appearance satisfaction after surgery is also an important but often overlooked treatment outcome.
Objectives: To report the psychometric validation of the FACE-Q Skin Cancer Module consisting of five scales, measuring appearance satisfaction (Satisfaction with Facial Appearance, Appraisal of Scars), QoL (Cancer Worry, Appearance-related Psychosocial Distress) and the patient experience (Satisfaction with Information: Appearance).
Methods: Participants underwent Mohs surgery for facial basal or squamous cell carcinoma or excision of early facial melanoma. Cohort 1 received a set of scales before and after surgery. Cohort 2 received the scales on two occasions in the postoperative period for test-retest reliability. Rasch measurement theory was used to select (item-reduce) the most clinically meaningful items for the scales. Reliability, validity, floor and ceiling effects and responsiveness were also analysed.
Results: Of 334 patients, 209 (response rate 62·6%) were included. Rasch analysis reduced the total scale items from 77 to 41. All items had ordered thresholds and good psychometric fit. Reliability was high (Person separation index and Cronbach's α ≥ 0·90) and scales measuring similar constructs were correlated. High floor and ceiling effects were seen for the scales. The Cancer Worry scale demonstrated responsiveness (P = 0·004).
Conclusions: The FACE-Q Skin Cancer Module meet the requirements of the Rasch model providing linearized measurement. Discriminating between patients with minimal appearance or worry impairment may be a limitation. The scales can be used for larger validation studies, clinical practice and research.

Jessica & the Fletchers nace en los últimas días de 2012 como el proyecto de dos compañeros de piso que deciden llamar a una amiga para formar un grupo de c86/twee un poco porque si y en las primeras semanas de 2013 dan por terminada "Jessica (Predispuesta a Amar)" su primera demo de 17 temas que van editando poco a poco en un formato casero de CD-R. Después de no pocas aventuras el grupo se disuelve y se re-forma bajo el nombre de Amelia & the Fletchers que solo les durará un concierto, para volver a ser en Marzo de 2014 lo que ya se puede llamar Jessica & the Fletchers. En verano entran en estudio para grabar sus dos primeras referencias, el cassette compartido con The Prams (Tigre Discs) y el 7″ compartido con No Fucks (Discos Walden). Durante 2015 mientras van preparando su primer disco (Connecting People , Discos de Kirlian) actuan en NYC Popfest y Primavera Sound. Actualmente preparan nuevas canciones para futuras referencias en discográficas internacionales habiendo consolidado su formación de cuarteto (Aitor Bigas, Jane Wilson, Sonia Montoya , Toni Ponix).
Jessica & the Fletchers were born in the last days of 2012, as a band formed by to roommates, who agree to call in a friend to perform in a C86/twee pop band, just for the sake of having fun. In the first weeks of 2013 they give birth to "Jessica (predispuesta a amar)", their first 17-track demo, that is later released in homemade CD-R format. After some time, the band decides to split and gets back together again under a different name: Amelia & the Fletchers. This name will only last one gig before recovering the original name in March 2014. In summer, the get into the studio to record their two first official releases: a split cassette with The Prams (Tigre Discs) and a 7" split with No Fucks (Discos Walden). During 2015, in the preparation of their first full-length (Connecting People, Discos de Kirlian) they are invited to play NYC Popfest and Primavera Sound Festival (Barcelona). They are currently working on new songs for future internacional release with their now stable line-up (Aitor Bigas, Jane Wilson, Sonia Montoya , Toni Ponix).

Q: (WPF) UI best practices we are curring analyzing whether to implement a solution for a software application by using either WPF or WinForms.
Apart from that decision, I just wanted to ask whether someone of you has good resources in terms of UI design (i.e. layout) (papers, case studies, links, books...), preferably targeted to WPF. I do not necessarily intend usability rules in general (like accessibility etc..), but more specifically on how to organize the UI.
Like this: http://healthcare.codeplex.com/
The application is a business application, not an ERP system but it goes in that direction.
Thx a lot
Juri

A: For UI design check out Quince from Infragistics. It´ s a user interface pattern browser with many useful patterns, descriptions, examples and so on.
NOTE: Quince is shutting down services on Saturday, October 31, 2015.

A: As well as looking into MVVM, you may want to take a look at Josh Smith's excellent Podcatcher series on Code Project. These articles talk about how to create an application, and then to apply a top-notch UI on top of it using something that Josh calls structural skinning.

Loanwords: Definition and Examples
An Introduction to Punctuation
Humanities › English
Alexander Spatari / Getty Images
by Richard Nordquist
Richard Nordquist is a freelance writer and former professor of English and Rhetoric who wrote college-level Grammar and Composition textbooks.
In lexicology, a loanword (also spelled loan word) is a word (or lexeme) imported into one language from another language. These words are also called a borrowed word or a borrowing. The term loanword, from the German Lehnwort, is an example of a calque or loan translation. The terms loanword and borrowing are, at best, imprecise. As countless linguists have pointed out, it's extremely unlikely that a borrowed word will ever be returned to the donor language.
Over the past 1,500 years, English has adopted words from more than 300 other languages. "Loanwords make up a huge proportion of the words in any large dictionary of English," notes Philip Durkin in Borrowed Words: A History of Loanwords in English. "They also figure largely in the language of everyday communication and some are found even among the most basic vocabulary of English."
Examples and Observations
Geoffrey Hughes
"A threefold distinction derived from German is applied by scholars to loan words on the basis of their degree of assimilation in the new host language. A Gastwort ('guest word') retains its original pronunciation, spelling, and meaning. Examples are passé from French, diva from Italian, and leitmotiv from German. A Fremdwort ('foreign word') has undergone partial assimilation, as have French garage and hotel. Garage has developed a secondary, Anglicized pronunciation ('garrij') and can be used as a verb; hotel, originally pronounced with a silent 'h,' as the older formulation an hotel shows, has for some time been pronounced like an English word, with the 'h' being sounded. Finally, a Lehnwort ('loan word') has become a virtual native in the new language with no distinguishing characteristics. Loan word is thus an example of itself."
Lyle Campbell
"[One] reason why words are taken over from another language is for prestige, because the foreign term for some reason is highly esteemed. Borrowings for prestige are sometimes called 'luxury' loans. For example, English could have done perfectly well with only native terms for 'pig flesh/pig meat' and 'cow flesh/cow meat,' but for reasons of prestige, pork (from French porc) and beef (from French boeuf) were borrowed, as well as many other terms of 'cuisine' from French—cuisine itself is from French cuisine 'kitchen'—because French had more social status and was considered more prestigious than English during the period of Norman French dominance in England (1066-1300)."
Philip Durkin
"Among Spanish loanwords that are likely to be used by most speakers of contemporary English without particular consciousness of their Spanish origin, and certainly not with reference only to Spanish-speaking cultures, are: machete (1575), mosquito (1572), tobacco (1577), anchovy (1582), plantain 'type of banana' (1582; 1555 as platano), alligator (1591); earlier lagarto)..., (probably) cockroach (1624), guitar (a. 1637, perhaps via French), castanet (1647; perhaps via French), cargo (1657), plaza (1673), jerk 'to cure (meat)' (1707), flotilla (1711), demarcation (1728; perhaps via French), aficionado (1802), dengue (1828; the ulterior etymology is uncertain), canyon (1837), bonanza (1844), tuna (1881), oregano (1889)."
"Today English borrows words from other languages with a truly global reach. Some examples that the Oxford English Dictionary suggests entered English during the past 30 years include tarka dal, a creamy Indian lentil dish (1984, from Hindi), quinzhee, a type of snow shelter (1984, from Slave or another language of the Pacific Coast of North America), popiah, a type of Singaporean or Malaysian spring roll (1986, from Malay), izakaya, a type of Japanese bar serving food (1987), affogato, an Italian dessert made of ice cream and coffee (1992)...
"Some words slowly build up in frequency. For instance, the word sushi [from Japanese] is first recorded in English in the 1890s, but the earliest examples in print all feel the need to explain what sushi is, and it is only in recent decades that it has become ubiquitous, as sushi has spread along the high street and into supermarket chiller cabinets in most corners of the English-speaking world. But, commonplace though sushi may be today, it hasn't made its way into the inner core of English in the same way as words like peace, war, just, or very (from French) or leg, sky, take, or they (from Scandinavian languages)."
Francis Katamba
"By using a particular language, bilingual speakers may be saying something about how they perceive themselves and how they wish to relate to their interlocutor. For instance, if a patient initiates an exchange with a doctor in the doctor's surgery in Yiddish, that may be a signal of solidarity, saying: you and I are members of the same sub-group. Alternatively, rather than choosing between languages, these two people may prefer code-switching. They may produce sentences which are partly in English and partly in Yiddish. If foreign words are used habitually in code-switching, they may pass from one language into another and eventually become fully integrated and cease being regarded as foreign. That is probably how words like chutzpah (brazen impudence), schlemiel (a very clumsy, bungling idiot who is always a victim), schmaltz (cloying, banal sentimentality) and goyim (gentile) passed from Yiddish into (American) English. The fact that there is no elegant English equivalent to these Yiddish words was no doubt also a factor in their adoption."
Kerry Maxwell
"A tongue-in-cheek alternative to ringxiety is 'fauxcellarm,' an ingenious blend of the French loan word faux, meaning 'false,' cell, from cellphone, and alarm, which when spoken out loud sounds similar to 'false alarm.'"

Planning Affordable Hip Replacement Surgery in India is an easy process.
The surgical procedure that involves the replacement of diseased cartilage and bone of the hip with artificial materials is known as a total hip replacement surgery. The material used for artificial components of the hip includes chromium, titanium, cobalt and ceramic. Hip Replacement Surgery in India is also called as Hip Arthroplasty, Hip Hemiarthroplasty and Total Hip Replacement. In this surgical procedure, orthopedic surgeon removes the damaged femur and replaces the ball-and-socket component of hip with artificial implants. Hip replacement surgery enables the patient to perform daily activities with ease by relieving the pain and improving the mobility.
Such a joint replacement orthopaedic surgery generally is conducted to relieve arthritis pain or fix severe physical joint damage as part of hip fracture treatment. A total hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty) consists of replacing both the acetabulum and the femoral head while hemiarthroplasty generally only replaces the femoral head. Hip replacement is currently the most common orthopaedic operation, though patient satisfaction short and long term varies widely.
A total hip replacement surgery in India is a surgical procedure that replaces the painful hip joint with an artificial hip joint. In a hip replacement, the head of the femur (the bone that extends from the hip to the knee) is removed along with the surface layer of the socket in which it rests (called the acetabulum).
The head of the femur, which is situated within the pelvis socket, is replaced with a metal ball and stem. This stem fits into the shaft of the femur.
The socket is replaced with a plastic or a metal and plastic cup.
Recently there has been a return to the earlier version of the operation when the hip was 'resurfaced'. Rather than remove the head of the femur it is covered by a metal cover. The socket is replaced with a metal socket.
For nearly a century, doctors have been putting various materials into diseased and painful hip joints to relieve pain. Up until the 1960s, outcomes had been unreliable. At that time, the metal ball and plastic socket for the replacement of the hip joint was introduced. Today, the artificial components used in a hip replacement are stronger and more designs are available.
There are many different shapes, sizes, and designs of artificial components of the hip joint. For the most part these are composed of chrome, cobalt, titanium, or ceramic materials. Some surgeons are also using custom-made components to improve the fit in the femur.
What are the benefits of Total Hip Replacement Surgery?
If the patients who have hip damage, but no relief after using anti inflammatory medicines and physiotherapy, hip replacement is the only option to eliminate hip pain. Hip replacement surgery restores normal hip function of the patient and improves physical functioning like walking and other movements.
Overall, a hip replacement surgery can give freedom from pain and fatigue. The benefits also include Cheapest Price of Hip Replacement Surgery in India, almost zero wait list for patients at Top Affordable Hip Replacement Surgery Hospital India.
Osteoarthritis of the hip most commonly affects people who are middle-aged and older. Symptoms range from mild discomfort to severe pain and immobility. Treatment for osteoarthritis of the hip focuses on decreasing pain and improving joint movement. When conservative methods of treatment fail to provide adequate relief, hip replacement may be considered.
An orthopaedic surgeon, who specializes in treating problems of the bones and joints, will evaluate if you are a candidate for a hip replacement. The surgeon will discuss your medical history, measure the range of motion and muscle strength of your hips, and observe how you sit, bend, and move. In addition, x-rays will be taken to determine the extent of damage to your hip joints. If the x-ray shows severe joint damage and no other means of treatment have provided relief, the orthopaedic surgeon may suggest hip replacement surgery.
Who Should Have a Total Hip Replacement Surgery?
In the past, doctors reserved hip replacement surgery primarily for people over 60 years of age. The thinking was that older people typically are less active and put less stress on the artificial hip than do younger people. In more recent years, however, doctors have found that hip replacement surgery can be very successful in younger people as well.
New technology has improved the artificial parts, allowing them to withstand more stress and strain and last longer.
Today, a person's overall health and activity level are more important than age in predicting a hip replacement's success. Hip replacement may be problematic for people with some health problems, regardless of their age. For example, people who have chronic disorders such as Parkinson's disease, or conditions that result in severe muscle weakness, are more likely than people without chronic diseases to damage or dislocate an artificial hip. People who are at high risk for infections or in poor health are less likely to recover successfully. Therefore, they may not be good candidates for this surgery. Recent studies also suggest that people who elect to have surgery before advanced joint deterioration occur tend to recover more easily and have better outcomes.
Hip arthritis typically causes pain that is dull and aching. The pain may be constant or it may come and go. Pain may be felt in the groin, thigh and buttock with possible referred pain to the knee. Walking long distances can also cause severe pain resulting in the patient limping. Some patients may need a cane, crutch, or walker to help them get around. Pain usually starts slowly and worsens with time and higher activity levels.
Patients with a bad hip joint can have difficulty in certain normal activities like climbing stairs, wearing trousers, tying shoes and clipping toenails.
A complete history and physical examination allow the physician to determine any correlation between symptoms of pain with past history and demands that have been placed upon the hips. The physician will inquire about experiencing episodes of trauma or instability, and examine the ligaments and hip alignment.
X-rays are used to determine the extent of degeneration to the cartilage or bone and may suggest a cause for the degeneration of the hip joint. Blood tests and joint aspiration (removing a small amount of fluid from the affected hip joint) may be required to rule out systemic arthritis (such as Rheumatoid Arthritis) or infection in the hip if there is reason to believe that other conditions are contributing to the degenerative process.
What Are The Treatment Options For Hip Joint Damage?
Several hip replacement procedures are performed to replace the head of the femur with new, artificial parts. They include Total Hip Replacement, Hip Resurfacing, Proxima Hip Replacement procedure, Computer Assisted Surgery, Revision Hip Replacement treatment and Bilateral Hip Replacement. Since, hip replacement is a major operation, depending on the damage and necessity, the surgeon will decide the treatment option.
People from all over the world visit abroad for their medical and surgical needs. India has become a favorable destination for medical tourists because of its infrastructure and technology that are on par with those in western countries.
For hip arthritis, the first treatment a doctor may recommend is over-the-counter, anti-inflammatory medications. Certain nutritional supplements including glucosamine could provide some relief. Short-term physical therapy may help improve strength and reduce pain. Transferring of weight to a walker helps relieve pain and walking ability.
General anesthesia is most used for joint replacement surgeries, but sometimes regional anesthesia is also used. This depends on your doctor, on your overall health and personal preference.
The damaged cartilage and bone is first removed. To remove the worn out ball of the ball-and-socket hip joint, the bone is cut to remove the femoral head. In order to insert a new joint, the damaged bone and cartilage must first be removed. Once the arthritic ball is removed, the worn out socket can be addressed. Unlike the ball, this bone cannot be cut off — the socket of the hip joint is part of the pelvis bone.
A reamer is used to scrape away the damaged cartilage and bone and a smooth, perfectly rounded surface are got which accepts the new hip implant. Once the damaged bone has been removed, the new socket of the hip replacement can be inserted. The socket of the pelvis is called the acetabulum and the part of the hip replacement inserted into the socket is called the acetabular component. The acetabular component is held tightly in the pelvis by making the socket slightly smaller than the acetabular component and wedging the implant into the bone. The implant has a rough surface to allow bone to grow into the surface of the implant over time.
Now that the socket has been addressed, attention can turn to the ball of the ball-and-socket hip joint. The ball is supported with an implant inserted down the hollow center of the thigh bone (femur). This implant is called the femoral stem.
For the femoral stem to be held tightly in the bone special tools are used to shape the center of the thigh bone to accommodate the femoral stem. With the bone prepared, the femoral stem is inserted and held in the bone with or without cement.
If bone cement is used, the cement is inserted in a liquid form and the stem is then placed. The cement permanently hardens within a few minutes to hold the implant fixed within the bone. When no cement is used, the implant is called "press-fit." This means that the implant is wedged tightly into the bone. A rough surface covering the implant allows bone to grow into the implant over time.
With the stem inserted down the center of the thigh bone, the ball of the ball-and-socket hip joint can be inserted on top of the stem. A metal ball tightly fits onto the top of the stem.
Consider autologous blood donation –To avoid using donor blood, patients may donate their own blood ahead of time. While some total joint procedures do not require blood transfusion, it is possible that a patient may need blood during or after surgery.
Begin exercising under a physician's supervision-It is important to be in the best possible overall health to help promote the best possible surgical experience. Increasing upper body strength is important because of the need to use a walker or crutches after hip or knee replacement. Strengthening the lower body is also key because increasing leg strength before surgery can reduce recovery time.
Have a general physical examination-Patients who are considering total joint replacement should be evaluated by their primary care physician to assess overall health and identify any medical conditions that could interfere with surgery or recovery.
Have a dental examination-Although infections after joint replacement are not common, an infection can occur if bacteria enter the bloodstream. Therefore, dental procedures such as extractions and periodontal work should be completed before joint replacement surgery.
Stop taking certain medications-Your orthopaedic surgeon can advise you which over-the-counter and prescription medications should not be taken before surgery.
Stop smoking-A good idea at any time, but particularly before major surgery in order to help reduce the risk of post-operative lung problems and improve healing.
Lose weight-In patients who are obese, losing weight will help reduce stress on the new joint.
Arrange a pre-op visit-An important opportunity to meet with healthcare professionals at the hospital to discuss your personal hospital care plan, including anesthesia, preventing complications, pain control, and diet.
Have routine laboratory tests-Blood tests, urine tests, an ECG or cardiogram, and chest X-ray may be prescribed to confirm that you are fit for surgery.
Evaluate post-surgical needs for at-home care –Every patient who undergoes total joint replacement will need help at home for the first few weeks, including assistance with preparing meals and transportation.
Pain medication will be given depending on the severity of the pain. Anticoagulants may be prescribed for several weeks following surgery.
On a cemented joint, mobilization can be done and partial weight loading is done within 24 hrs. On an un-cemented hip for weight bearing is not permitted for about 6 weeks. With a cemented or hybrid (one piece cemented and one piece un-cemented) hip, you can usually put some weight on your leg right away, but you'll still need a walker, a cane, or crutches for several weeks.
In general, most people get out of bed with help on the day after surgery. A walker or crutches will be used during the initial phase. A physiotherapist and sometimes an occupational therapist will guide you on basic movements and exercises.

Who Are The Top Listed Surgeons For Hip Replacement Surgery In India?
Are you looking for affordable cost of Hip Replacement Surgery in Top Hospitals of India?
If you are really seeking for Total Hip Replacement Surgery, kindly fill up the form for a free consultation with our surgeons. You will be provided with thorough analysis and suggestions regarding the Total Hip Replacement Surgery you are seeking.
What is the major cause of hip pain?
Arthritis is the major cause of the hip pain.
How should I prepare for my hip replacement?
Low impact cardio exercises are a good way to prepare for hip replacement surgery. Consider using an exercise bike, doing water aerobics or swimming. Not only are these exercises helpful in your surgery preparation, it can also improve the symptoms of your arthritis.
Should I add or subtract any foods from my diet?
I really like it when patients have enough calcium in their diet. I ask patients to take 400 mg of calcium with each meal and 1000 IU of Vitamin D each day. The extra vitamins will help your body grow into your hip components and make it stronger.
How old are your hip replacement patients?
I have had patients in their 30s, which is rare, 40s, which is not quite as rare, 50s, 60s and 70s are the most common ages. That being said I have had patients in their 80s and even in their 90s.
Why did the 30-year-old need a hip replacement?
They had a condition where the hip bone died and it could not be replaced.
When should I expect to feel relief from my hip pain after my hip replacement?
Total hip replacements are really fun because it is no exaggeration that patients will tell me they feel better the day-after-surgery than they did the day-before-surgery.
What should I expect to be the hardest part of my recovery following my hip replacement surgery?
The hardest part will probably be gaining physical capabilities you haven't had in years. Many people are just happy to get their hip replaced and be able to do the things they used to do immediately before the replacement but now can do it without pain. Our goal is for the patient to think back years ago, before they had pain and regain that level of fitness. The reason it is hard is because a lot of people don't ever think they will get back to that activity level. It just takes time. How far were you hiking? Or dancing? Or golfing? Were you riding your bike further? Were you doing other things? You can regain a higher level of fitness you haven't had in years.
Will I have to stay in the hospital after my hip replacement surgery?
Yes, the surgery is an inpatient procedure; however, most patients leave two days after surgery.
Will I be on bed rest for those two days following my hip replacement surgery?
No, if we do the surgery in the morning you will be out of bed by the end of the day. If we do the surgery later in the day, you will be out of bed the following morning.
What will I do "out of bed"?
You will be weight bearing as tolerated. The hospital staff will teach you how to get in and out of bed safely. Before you go home, they will make sure you are able to go up and down stairs.
Will you prescribe physical therapy? How long will therapy last?
We always prescribe physical therapy. It usually starts in your house and progresses to an outpatient facility. The sooner we can get you to a physical therapy clinic the better because the therapy center has more equipment and is more conducive to recovering from a hip replacement surgery.
Can I replace both of my hips in the same year?
You can easily replace both hips in the same year. The real go-getters will have their surgeries within six weeks of each other. More commonly people will have the hip replacement surgeries, three months apart.
When can I return to work after my hip replacement?
Someone with a desk job might return to work in 3-6 weeks. For someone in construction it will be closer to 8-12 weeks.
Will I have any limitations in regard to physical activities after I fully recover from my hip replacement surgery?
There are dislocation precautions that are theoretically in place your whole life. Practically speaking, no one ever feels restricted after their hip replacement. They don't feel like they can't do things. The hip dislocation precautions are just part of your life. They are not that restrictive, but they are onerous.
What approach do you use when performing a total hip replacement?
Usually, our orthopaedic surgeon's use the posterior lateral approach which is the traditional/standard approach. There was a time that the surgeons did the anterior lateral approach too. We have such great results with the standard posterior approach – the patients are walking within two days and some take very few pain pills.
How large will my scar be following my hip replacement?
The shortest scars are less than four inches and it is unusual that I would go more than six inches.
I've heard you send your patients to the dentist before a total hip replacement, is this true?
Yes, I have all my patients see the dentist before I replace their hips to make sure their mouth is healthy. If you have any source of infection in your mouth it needs to be treated as best as possible so there is no risk of infection from your mouth to your new hip. After the replacement, we want you to see a dentist 2 times per year. Good dental hygiene is very important.
Do I need to take an allergy test?
Your allergic response at the skin level is much different than that at the bone level. I have never had to take out a hip or knee because of allergies.
Will I need a walker?
Yes, most people want a walker right after surgery; however, most people are done using their walker by the time they get to the ten day post-operative follow-up in my office.
Is there anything else I should pre-plan for?
Pre-planning is important. It is helpful to have people at home to help.
Is there anything else that people ask that I have forgotten?
It's much easier to recover from a hip replacement verses a knee replacement. Most people don't need a blood transfusion.

Q: Detecting a loop in a linked list - When would the pointers meet? How is the head of the loop found by intersection? This question is related to:
How to detect a loop in a linked list?
I have understood the solution but I didn't understand two statements I read in some book-

*

*If L is the length of the loop, n is the number of nodes,the slow and fast pointers will meet at n x L length - Is this correct? If not, when would they meet? Can someone please explain it in simple terms.

*To find the head of the loop, after the slow pointer and fast pointer meet, we move the slow pointer to the head and move both the pointers by 1 node until they intersect at the head of the loop - How does moving the slow pointer to the head and then moving both pointers by 1 node make them meet at the starting of the loop?

A: Before you reach the loop from the start you will need to traverse N - L nodes. (Where N is the total number of nodes except the initial node)
Let S and F be the number of nodes the slow and fast pointers traversed respectively.
For the two nodes to meet, 2 * S = F = S + x * L where x is an integer. Thus S would be L * ceiling( N / L ).
From the end if you move N - L nodes you will reach the start of the loop.


"(Wendy) Davis is running (for governor) against Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, who is heavily favored to win in a state that remains strongly Republican."
Katie Glueck, in "Wendy Davis and the ever-longer odds," Politico, Oct. 19.
Yes, yes, lady, fine; you got it. But this is barely to scratch the surface of the thing.
Why does Texas, a pulsating, change-oriented state, full of young people, full of minorities, full of those women the Republicans are alleged (by Democrats) to be running a "war" against—how come Texas "remains strongly Republican"? Which it does and probably will for a while longer, barring divine intervention.
I would love to ascribe the reason to good ol' frontier values as buckskinned and lively now as in the days when John Wayne and such like went around saving us from enemies foreign and domestic. In fact, the frontier disappeared decades ago, along with appurtenances such as carbines and 10-gallon hats. An exceedingly large proportions of today's Texans lived Up North prior to the 1940s; check the newspaper obits to get the feel for how many people, in post-World War II America, saw Texas as the land of opportunity.
The Indians in Texas these days are the kind Columbus wrongly believed himself to have found in the West Indies; the Vietnamese and Chinese are here as well. Then there are the Mexicans, Texas' perpetual next-door neighbors, drawing equal in number with the so-called Anglos.
If the Yankee media or the foreign press, or both, believe drawling yokels and Baptist preachers keep the state hitched to the Republican chariot, that is, um, a fallacious assumption.
What, then? How come the Abbott-Davis Race never got anything like close?
There are of course the usual political reasons—Abbott's long tenure in politics, framed against Davis' relative inexperience. More to the point is Texas' undoubted "conservative" streak. It is not the streak the media take vast joy in promoting: backwards, narrow, resentful. It is of another order entirely—frank, breezy, independent; the feeling is of open-shirted, muscle-flexing latitude to do and to be, and to will and to want. The feeling is a good thing. Conservatives know better than to go messing around with a good thing. Their calling in life is to keep and improve it.
The party of Wendy Davis—not necessarily Wendy herself, but the bunch she hangs out with—is the party of interference unlimited. Her Democrats want to tell everybody else what to do and how to do it. Phooey on fossil fuels! No school choice or charter schools! Raise the minimum wage! Stub out that cigarette; drop that Coke can!
Bossy, fussy, imperious, unwilling ever to leave well enough alone, the party of Wendy Davis, and of course Barack Obama, bestrides the nation. Or would if it weren't for a few stubborn patches of ground like Texas, where independence of action and absence of thought control are prized attributes—to new and old Texans alike.
I would not overstate. Texans there are who think the federal government has their best interests at heart and accordingly should be encouraged and strengthened by the election of people such as, well, Wendy Davis. At the moment these Texans' numbers are smaller than the number of those who tend to equate the way things get done in Texas with the way things got done in a more fruitful, more serious America, when it was more than OK to set your own compass, take pride in your own efforts and dreams and works.
That sense of possibilities, of freedoms worth having and handling, is what I see the majority of Texans as continuing, for now, to favor amid liberal shot and shell. We shall see how well Gov.-to-be Greg Abbott feeds this spirit with words, counsel and as few government actions as seem consistent with the duty to conserve that which works.
You sort of feel sorry, meanwhile, for Wendy Davis, smiling exuberant agent of the government-dependence movement in Texas. She might have ended up Queen of California.
William Murchison's latest book is The Cost of Liberty: The Life of John Dickinson. To find out more about William Murchison, and to see features by other Creators Syndicate writers and cartoonists,visit the Creators Syndicate website a www.Creators.com.
No need to despair Wendy never thought she had a chance. Rather she is enjoying living large at the expense of wealthy out of state donors. She is living proof Ivy League Colleges are over rated and that she is dumb as a pasture fence post is not lost on Texans. She has character issues that cannot be glossed over. Quite simply she is simply a bad candidate. As for Abbot I fear he is cut from the same cloth as the false Texan, G.W. Bush. Texans wrongly are about to elect other Bush to state office. Stand by they are not going away.
Bryan, Not going away indeed! No matter who 'wins' the race, it will only prove that Texans are just as dumb as Americans.
I agree with Mr. Fox that Davis surely knew (or ought to have known) that she could never win. It is true that Texas, like most conservative states, does not have a perfect record and has elected pro-choicers to high office in the past. But a hard-core fanatic whose rise to prominence was based entirely on her love of abortion? She never had a chance.
Good post, Mr. Murchison. I always enjoy what you have to say as well as, usually, agree with you. That said, I must admit I couldn't care less about who "wins" the governorship of Texas, historically a very great state cursed with exceedingly puny "rulers".
Mr Olson-Naturally you don't care who is Governor of Texas, you don't live here. But you should given the nefarious men who have used Texas as a National spring board.

After I bought my Taurus Millennium Pro PT-111 9mm pistol I went about looking on the web for information on how to care for and clean a pistol. It seems that how to clean a gun is the best kept secret there is. I could not find a single site that really went into detail. My "aim" is to fix that.
If you find something here that could be done better or is just plain WRONG please so #1, I can fix this page and #2, I can start caring for my pistol better. But, if you are where I was, I hope this helps. This page goes into great detail on how to assemble and dis assemble my PT-111. If you have a different pistol, yours may/will differ.
These pictures were all taken after I fired 200 rounds of CCI Blazer FMJ 115 Grain rounds.
Have the supplies you need and a place to work.
BE SURE YOUR WEAPON IS UNLOADED!!! You could shoot yourself or someone else and we really don't want that. Remove the MAGAZINE by pressing the MAGAZINE RELEASE BUTTON. BE SURE that the chamber is EMPTY by pulling back on the slide. Lock the slide open by pushing the slide catch lever up with the slide back. Look in the chamber (from the side not down the barrel) and make sure there is no bullet there.
With the slide locked open twist the slide disassembly latch down (clockwise) until it stops.
Completely remove the slide disassembly latch from the frame.
On a Tarus PT-111 PRO third generation model, in order to get the dissassembly latch out, after I switch it to the down position, I have to pull back the slide and while holding it let it move forward slowly and the dissassembly latch will click and pop out a litle then I have to pullback on the slide and relock the slide manually.
Carefully release the slide catch, and with the slide under FULL control, pull the slide forward off of the frame. - If the slide sticks on the frame, be sure the chamber is empty (YOU DID DO THAT, RIGHT???) and firmly pull the trigger fully to the rear while pulling the slide forward off the frame. - If the slide does not move because the barrel remains to the rear and tilted upward, be sure the chamber is empty and push the muzzle against the palm of your hand while pushing the slide forward with the other.
Take out the spring. Note: this is a spring. Be careful.
Take out the barrel and that's as apart as this gun ever needs to get without a gunsmith.
Use a wire brush to get all the really tough stuff out of the barrel. You should only push the brush in the direction that the bullet would travel. Do this a few times.
You don't need to remove the bore brush to pull it back through the barrel as the cleaning rod rotates provided that you grip it from the handle. Still always push the brush and the patch through the bore from the breech end of the barrel only, never from the muzzle end.
Wet a patch with solvent and run it through the bore a few times, then set the barrel aside and leave it wet with solvent. Go clean the frame/slide. By leaving the barrel to soak you allow the solvent to soften and losen any hard caked on fouling.
Now you come back to the barrel. Get several patches ready. Wet the bore brush with solvent and grip the cleaning rod at the base just above the handle and rotate the brush in the chamber first, this scrubs the chamber and headspace area. Next grip the t-handle of the rod and push all the way through the bore back and forth several times, allowing the rod to rotate in the bore as the brush contacts with the lands and grooves. Make sure the brush is screwed on tight and does not come loose from the rod when pulling it back through the bore, sometimes they tend to come loose making them ineffective on the pull through. Next attach your slotted jag and take a wetted patch and run it back and forth a few times through the bore. Make sure these patches fit reasonably snug in the bore. I like to to rotate them in the chamber first to allow the patch to swirl around the jag for better surface contact once in the bore. Repeat with a new wet patch a few more times and keep changing them until one comes out clean. When you are satisfied take a snug fitting dry clean patch and dry the bore. Hold your barrel up to a light and inspect it, or use a light. Is it clean? Any area where the is still fouling? If so, then repeat the barrel cleaning prosess until you are satisfied. About every 5000 rounds or so use a copper solvent to remove copper fouling from your bore. Just to keep it in check, copper fouling really isn't that detrimental to pistols as it is to accuracy in precision rifles. When using a copper solvent for copper removal make sure to use only a steel or aluminum rod and plastic bore brush and plastic slotted jag, no brass or bronze.
Put the cleaning rod through the barrel. Put a large patch (square piece of cloth) on the end of the cleaning rod, dip the patch in solvent and pull it through the barrel. Pull the patch through in the same direction as the bullet would travel. Repeat with a new patch until the patches comes out clean. You can then wipe the outside of the barrel with a patch and solvent.
Slide/Frame: Get some clean cotton cloths (old laundered T-shirts work well) cut to about 7X7 inches or so. You will need at least 4 of these per cleaning. Get several Q-tips. Get a wooden chopstick and whittle the end to a chisel tip. Pipe cleaners also come in handy. Wet one of the cloths with solvent and wipe the inside of the frame and slide. Pay special attention to the breech face and extractor area. Use solvent wet Q-tips and a wet patch with the chopstick to get crud out of the rail and rail grooves, fouling out if the breech face and extractor claw. Pay attention to the locking lugs too. Use as many q-tips, cloths, and patches as you need for this. When satisfied, take your last clean dry cotton cloth and wipe dry all the solvent and crud from your slide/frame.
Look at all the metal flakes inside the slide.
Clean out the slide with a patch and some solvent. I also used the soft bristle brush.
Do the same with the handle full of metal flakes.
Put the barrel and spring back together the same way they came apart just in reverse order.
and another few drops here along the spring and wipe dry.
Before re-assemebly make sure all the solvent is wiped dry. I find that compressed canned air works well for blowing out any residual solvent still hiding in hard to reach places. Inspect all the parts for wear, cracks, or breakage. Make sure to never over oil your gun. The better method for oiling any firearm is to use only a very very slightly dampened patch and wipe oil residue on the rails, lugs, and outside of the barrel before assembeling. All you need is a very slight and very thin film of oil on guns, you should barely be able to see it with you eyes. Remember that if you see any oil running or oosing out any time, you've got way too much oil. Once in a while disassemble your magazines and clean them with solvent then wipe dry.
Put the slide back on the same way it came off. Pull it all the way back and lock it open with the slide catch lever.
Put the slide disassembly latch back in. UPDATE: Be sure that the barrel is all the way forward before attempting to replace the slide disassembly latch - Thanks to Bill Ellett for this tip.
See that spring? You will learn to hate that spring. It makes insertion of the slide disassembly latch VERY difficult. (NOTE: Good news, it loosens up after a while) Orient the slide disassembly latch with the tab facing the rear of the pistol and push it in. It will be hard.
These are Winchester 9mm Luger 115Gr JHP.

Q: Set VNImageOptionCameraIntrinsics from ARCamera I am building an application which combines ARKit with CoreML. I am passing frames to the VNImageRequestHandler using the following lines:
// the frame of the current Scene
CVPixelBufferRef pixelBuffer = _cameraPreview.session.currentFrame.capturedImage;

NSMutableDictionary<VNImageOption, id> *requestOptions = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
VNImageRequestHandler *handler = [[VNImageRequestHandler alloc] initWithCVPixelBuffer:pixelBuffer options:requestOptions];

Note the requestOptions. It should contain the VNImageOptionCameraIntrinsics field which passes the camera intrinsics to CoreML.
Before using ARKit I was using a CMSampleBufferRef to get images from the camera. The instrinsics could be retrieved and set using the following:
CFTypeRef cameraIntrinsicData = CMGetAttachment(sampleBuffer, kCMSampleBufferAttachmentKey_CameraIntrinsicMatrix, nil);
requestOptions[VNImageOptionCameraIntrinsics] = (__bridge id)(cameraIntrinsicData);

However, I am using an ARFrame now, but I still want to set the correct intrinsics since the pixelBuffer is rotated.
Looking at the docs:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/vision/vnimageoption?language=objc
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/arcamera/2875730-intrinsics?language=objc
We can see that ARCamera provides intrinsics as well, however, how do I set this value in the requestOptions properly?
So far it should be something like this:
ARCamera *camera = _cameraPreview.session.currentFrame.camera;
NSMutableDictionary<VNImageOption, id> *requestOptions = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
// How to put camera.intrinsics here?
requestOptions[VNImageOptionCameraIntrinsics] = camera.intrinsics;

A: As Giovanni mentioned in the comments, converting UIDeviceOrientation to CGImagePropertyOrientation avoids the need to use VNImageOptionCameraIntrinsics:
Utils.m
+(CGImagePropertyOrientation) getOrientation {
    CGImagePropertyOrientation orientation;
    UIDeviceOrientation deviceOrientation = [[UIDevice currentDevice] orientation];
    switch (deviceOrientation) {
        case UIDeviceOrientationPortrait:
            orientation = kCGImagePropertyOrientationRight;
            break;
        case UIDeviceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown:
            orientation = kCGImagePropertyOrientationLeft;
            break;
        case UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft:
            orientation = kCGImagePropertyOrientationUp;
            break;
        case UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight:
            orientation = kCGImagePropertyOrientationDown;
            break;
        default:
            orientation = kCGImagePropertyOrientationRight;
            break;
    }
    return orientation;
}

ViewController.mm
- (void)captureOutput {
    ARFrame *frame = self.cameraPreview.session.currentFrame;
    CVPixelBufferRef pixelBuffer = frame.capturedImage;

    CGImagePropertyOrientation deviceOrientation = [Utils getOrientation];
    NSMutableDictionary<VNImageOption, id> *requestOptions = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];

    VNImageRequestHandler *handler = [[VNImageRequestHandler alloc] initWithCVPixelBuffer:pixelBuffer orientation:deviceOrientation options:requestOptions];

    [handler performRequests:@[[self request]] error:nil];

Q: Appeding summary row of each factor level using dplyr in R This is is a follow up of this question. I'm not able to get the desired output.
Reg  <- rep(LETTERS[1:5],  c(4, 6, 4, 4, 6))
City <- rep(letters[1:12], each = 2)
Res  <- rep(c("Urban", "Rural"), times = length(Reg)/2)
set.seed(12345)
Pop  <- rpois(n = length(Reg), lambda = 500000)
Pop1 <- rpois(n = length(Reg), lambda = 500)
df   <- data.frame(Reg, City, Res, Pop, Pop1)

df3 <-
 df %>%
   group_by(Reg) %>%
   summarise(Pop = sum(Pop), Pop1 = sum(Pop1),  Res = 'Total') %>%
   bind_rows(df) %>%
   arrange(Reg) %>%
   select(Reg, Res, Pop, Pop1) %>%
   distinct()
 df3

# A tibble: 29 x 4
      Reg   Res     Pop  Pop1
   <fctr> <chr>   <int> <int>
 1      A Total 2000853  2135
 2      A Urban  500414   549
 3      A Rural  500501   545
 4      A Urban  499922   536
 5      A Rural  500016   505
 6      B Total 3000844  2938
 7      B Urban  501638   510
 8      B Rural  499274   492
 9      B Urban  499804   506
10      B Rural  499825   508
# ... with 19 more rows

Then the following code is required to find Rural and Urban sums within each Reg
df3 %>% group_by(Reg, Res) %>% summarise(sum(Pop), sum(Pop1))

# A tibble: 15 x 4
# Groups:   Reg [?]
      Reg   Res `sum(Pop)` `sum(Pop1)`
   <fctr> <chr>      <int>       <int>
 1      A Rural    1000517        1050
 2      A Total    2000853        2135
 3      A Urban    1000336        1085
 4      B Rural    1499485        1446
 5      B Total    3000844        2938
 6      B Urban    1501359        1492

 8      C Total    1997259        2007
 9      C Urban     998025        1020
10      D Rural     998760        1058
11      D Total    2000712        2052
12      D Urban    1001952         994
13      E Rural    1501848        1547
14      E Total    2999304        3050
15      E Urban    1497456        1503

Which also has different order for Res column.
However, I would like to do all computations in more efficient and compact way.
Desired output
  Reg   Res     Pop  Pop1
 1      A Total 2000853  2135
 2      A Urban 1000336  1085
 3      A Rural 1000517  1050

 4      B Total 3000844  2938
 5      B Urban 1501359  1492
 6      B Rural 1499485  1446

A: Not sure it's more compact, but by reversing the order of the two group by processes, you can eliminate several lines of code:
df %>%
    group_by(Reg, Res) %>%           # group by Reg and Res first
    summarise(Pop = sum(Pop), Pop1 = sum(Pop1)) %>%
    bind_rows(
        group_by(., Reg) %>%         # now group by Reg and bind_rows with previous result
            summarise(Pop = sum(Pop), Pop1 = sum(Pop1), Res = 'Total'),
        .       # <<<<<<               bind total above other Res by passing previous
                                     # result as second argument in the bind_rows
    ) %>% arrange(Reg)

# A tibble: 15 x 4

I need to finish getting ready and head off to work but I just thought I'd update here first.
Last night I finished a proposal for a new client. I want to double check it at some point today to check any errors and then send it off. I'm really excited about the job.
I'm a bit worried about my Modern Textiles midterm. I'm researching early textiles of William Morris to see if I can find my piece. No luck so far.


... all of a sudden, it's December and I have an almost-7-month-old! Here she is, because I know you're more interested in seeing her than reading what I have to write :) In fact ... she's doing so many new things now that I'll just post some pictures and let you see what we've been up to over the last three months.
Getting to meet Great-Grandma in September was so much fun!
Our good friend Nicole (Anna's godmother) was admitted to the hospital with pre-term labour (she is back home now and has made it to 37 weeks, praise God!), so we spent a lot of time at Hillcrest hanging out with her.
Just before Anna turned five months old, she got to see Uncle Matt (for the first time!!) and Auntie Peck! Steph and Matt spent nearly two weeks with us, which was wonderful.
What a wonderful way to spend ten days ... we're so thankful that they got to come!
We celebrated Halloween by dressing up as Alice in Wonderland, the Mad Hatter and the Caterpillar, and hung out with Luke & Tiff and Kris & Nicole for the evening. Kris and Nicole got to dress up as people who didn't have to stay in the hospital any more!
We went to our first pumpkin patch with Anna's friends Esther and Eden (and their mom Josephine, whose husband works at In His Image with Mark), and picked out a pumpkin to make pie with :) That one little pumpkin provided us with pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, and pumpkin puree for Anna!
And speaking of pumpkins ... Tiff took fall pictures of Clover and Anna, which we thought was significantly more fun than the two babies did!! She got some really good pictures, though.
Then Anna turned six months old (six months!! How is that possible?!), we moved house, Mark had a glorious week off in November which we spent doing a little road trip to see our friends the Geidls and enjoying Thanksiving. Anna sat up by herself on her 6-month birthday, what a big girl!
Soon to come - Christmas pictures, family pictures and - hopefully - pictures of our new baby godson (Kris & Nicole's son Riah) who could make an appearance any day now!

"The complete restoration, and perfect establishment of peace and tranquility, within the State, leaves me but little to offer, except my most cordial congratulations on these interesting and important events...
It is with pleasure that I find so large a part of the domestick debt of these United States in a way to be discharged by the sale of the Federal lands… I should be happy, Gentleman, if some system could be adapted to place the remaining part of our State debt on such funds as could prevent the extreme fluctuation in its value, which is in my opinion as injurious to the government, as it is mortifying, and destructive to the public creditor. I shall only remark that the necessity of such measures, is increased by the prospect of the new federal Constitution being adopted. As in consequence of this important event, the resources which have been hitherto applied to the purposes of this government in particular, will probably be appropriated to federal objects – should this event take place, the securities of this State would sustain a sudden and rapid depreciation unless prevented. – It becomes our duty therefore on every principle of prudence and justice, to guard against such a public misfortune, and I hope it may be done without the addition of another tax… [p2 c1]
[Describing a meeting at Faneuil Hall]
At the head of the Hall, we're seven PILLARS of wreaths... emblematic of the seven states which have adopted the federal Constitution – on the key-stones of the arches of which were painted in large characters, the names of the states: and behind them were six figures, almost as large as life, of their Excellencies the President of the Federal, and Massachusetts Conventions… After dinner the following toasts were drank:
1. The governor and Commonwealth.
2. The United States.
3. The states which have adopted the Constitution
4. Speedy completion of the Federal Edifice.
5. Louis XVI, our illustrious ally, and the friendly powers of Europe
6. The day.
7. General Washington
8. The Militia of Massachusetts
9. May our citizens prize the honor of being soldiers, and our soldiers never forget that they are citizens
12. The president, and University of Cambridge. [Harvard]
13. Freedom and peace to all mankind.
When the 7th toast was drank, Mr. Rae, sung "God save great Washington," in his usual style of excellence...
In his second, non-sequential term as Massachusetts Governor, John Hancock addresses his state's legislature upon re-election to another annual term. The bulk of his message concerns the impending ratification of the federal Constitution (New Hampshire's approval just over two weeks later would complete the passage with the required nine states) and the causes that necessitated its creation. The return to "peace and tranquility" referenced not only the fight for ratification, but also Shays's Rebellion, an early tax revolt in western Massachusetts that demonstrated the weakness of government under the Articles of Confederation. Shays's Rebellion made clear the need to reform the central government and form a constitutional union, which in turn led to a blistering debate in Hancock's state. Massachusetts finally ratified the Constitution in February 1788 after Hancock and fellow patriot Samuel Adams endorsed it, along with the scheme to service the public debt through sale of federal lands that was crucial to the Constitution's success.
Also includes reports of ratification disputes in North Carolina, the South Carolina Ratifying Convention, the election of officers to the Massachusetts Ancient Artillery Company at their dinner, including a list of toasts, and a resolution returning two Revolutionary War cannon to Massachusetts, among the usual period advertisements.

Yoenis Cespedes sits, further depleting Mets outfield

By Marc Carig marc.carig@newsday.com July 4, 2017 6:11 PM
WASHINGTON — It had been mere hours since Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes limped off the field. The night before, he was hobbled by a cramp that seized his right hamstring as he slid for a game-saving catch, an attempt that was ultimately unsuccessful.
Yet, Cespedes insisted upon starting Tuesday's 11-4 loss to the Nationals, a request that was denied. So went what has been an awkward dance between the Mets and their highest-paid star player.
"He's not happy about it and I like that," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "I like the fact that he wants to play. But we've got to be smart about today."
At one point this season, Collins had too many outfielders to juggle. Now, he barely has any left.
Though Cespedes is expected to play in Wednesday's series finale, he did not appear in Tuesday's loss. Curtis Granderson was relegated to pinch-hitting duty, a late scratch because he's still bothered by a sore right hip that has kept him from starting since Saturday.
When he tried warming up before the game, Granderson felt lingering stiffness, leaving doubt about whether he could chase down drives into the gap. He decided against pressing the issue.
Said Granderson: "There was more risk rather than reward to do that."

In the seventh inning, fill-in leftfielder T.J. Rivera left in the middle of the seventh inning with cramps in both of his legs. For now, he expects to be available on Wednesday.
"I thought it would go away," said Rivera, who felt the cramps in the outfield before dealing with them again when running to first base.
By first pitch on Tuesday, Jay Bruce was the Mets' only healthy regular outfielder, with both Michael Conforto and Juan Lagares already on the disabled list.
Said Collins: "Hopefully, we'll get back to full strength here."
It begins with Cespedes, who Collins said is expected to return two days after feeling a cramp while trying to make a sliding catch on Ryan Raburn's game-winning hit in the bottom of the ninth on Monday.
For Collins, Cespedes' history of leg injuries made it easy to stick with his original intent to rest Cespedes on Tuesday especially with more heat and humidity in the forecast.
"I talked to Yo this morning," Collins said. "He wanted to play. I get it. I think it's great. But the fact that he cramped up last night, the dehydration is just an issue. We cannot afford to have him blow out that hammy again and miss him for two months."
Cespedes has already missed 37 games on the disabled list, first with a left hamstring strain, and then with a right quad injury that slowed down his minor-league rehab.
Since going 3-for-5 with a double and a homer against the Giants on June 23, Cespedes has hit the skids. In the eight games since that outburst, he's hitting .152 (5-for-33) with no extra base hits.
"It tells you how hard the game is," Collins said. "The best of the best slump. He'll get it going."

A TERRIFIED mum claims she has caught the "Black Monk of Pontefract" on camera chillingly whispering her name.
Spooked Rebecca Palmer, 34, was visiting one of the UK's most haunted houses with husband Sean Reynolds, 34, when she captured the eerie footage.
The house, 30 East Drive in West Yorkshire, is where the Pritchard family were terrorised by the Black Monk in the 1960s.
Paranormal investigators Rebecca and Sean and their cameraman Paul Jowett filmed the ghostly apparition appearing to say the name "Bex".
Chillingly, a ghoulish growl can then be heard as a door suddenly swings open - causing petrified Rebecca to scream out.
The mum-of-three was initially sceptical about visiting the house but has since admitted she "feared for my life".
Rebecca, of Liverpool, said: "I didn't think the energy of the poltergeist would still be there after so long.
"But as soon as I walked in the house I could feel a presence – this pressure on my head like someone or something was trying to push me out of the house.
"When we were upstairs Sean and I kept hearing lots of taps, bangs and knocks and they would get louder when we called out to 'Fred' which is what the family nicknamed the poltergeist.
"It's the first time in ages I have been genuinely frightened. It was terrifying, the energy in there was really dark. I kept saying to Sean, 'I want to get out'. That's all I could think about.
"I decided to try to tough it out and we went downstairs to join Paul but Fred must have known how much he was scaring me because the next thing we knew our equipment had picked up my name.
"It was absolutely spine-chilling. I've never had such clear and intelligent communication from a paranormal entity before.
"And the noise he let out after, that demonic scream was horrifying. I've never heard anything like it. There is no denying it was of another world, it was just this really gruesome growling."
The unassuming house on the Chequerfields Estate became known as the scene of the "most violent poltergeist haunting in the UK" in the 1960s.
Jean and Joe Pritchard moved in with their son Phillip, 15, and daughter Diane, 12, in 1966 but were disturbed by paranormal activity happening in their home.
Sean and Rebecca were filming for the latest series of the TV show Ghost Dimension.
Seasoned ghost hunter Sean said he was excited to take a peek inside 30 East Drive but found himself questioning his and Rebecca's safety.
He added: "When we arrived at the house I had been so excited to finally be filming at 30 East Drive. I had heard so many stories about what went on here through the 60s and seen so many photos of monk-like figures.
"But when we were in the midst of it all I was frightened for myself and for Bex. We had never experienced so many paranormal happenings going in one place and in such quick succession."

Francesca Woodman Photographs
View Discussion
Will Gresson – 20 October, 2014
What stands out here in many ways is the controlled abstraction of Woodman's lines and zigzags, evident throughout the exhibition. These images may seem random, or at times to reflect a sense of the mundane or even coincidental, yet a deeper look reveals an incredibly sharp eye for compositional detail.
VICTORIA MIRO MAYFAIR
9 September - 4 October 2014
At Victoria Miro Mayfair, a new exhibition by the late Francesca Woodman entitled Zigzag examines abstract lines and zigzags within the artist's work, while reflecting many of the familiar idiosyncrasies of Woodman's wider practice, such as her treatment of the body and her use of light, shadow and motion. Significantly, this exhibition includes ten images newly released from the estate of the artist, managed by her parents since her tragic suicide in 1981 at the age of just 22, thus creating not only a new angle to her previously exhibited works, but also a closer glimpse at the wealth of images still yet to see release.
The majority of the images on show are small, most just 20.3 x 25.4 cm, installed in a tight line around the main gallery space. They act almost like small vignettes, tiny moments captured on film where the subjects within the image appear to line up, if only for moment, to reveal these elusive shapes. Certain motifs or elements appear in several of the images, including the way the human body is framed. This can be seen either through the pose or by the juxtaposition of other elements like a black pelt hung up on a hook like a coat, or tree bark wrapped around the model's wrists to blur the lines between her arms and the trees directly behind. Obscuring certain features like the face or torso by turning away from the camera, quick motion or the cropping out entirely parts of the body are also common features, creating an engaging sense of play between the photographer and her subject, where the shape or line itself is the subject and the rest mere context.
The two major exceptions to these smaller black and white works are the works inside the smaller gallery space, entitled Zig Zig Study (1980) and the diptych Zig Zag (1980). The first is a line of several prints, some connected by black pen line, which speak to Woodman's focus on the zigzag as a symbol of continuity. In a letter written to a friend in 1980 (and quoted as part of the accompanying press release) Woodman talks about creating "a long string of images held together by a long compositional zig zag." The study contains many of the elements found in other works within the collection, like body parts which feel abstracted and dehumanised, the use of fabric and also movement (such as the scissor-kicking legs hanging mid air in one image, the top half of the body cropped out).
Frustratingly, two of the larger and more complex images, Untitled (from Swan Song series) (1978) and Small sketch for a piece about bridges and tiaras (1980) are both seemingly relegated to the window spaces facing out on St. George Street. Between the fence at street level and the walls themselves being set back behind the glass of the gallery front, they are both difficult to make out clearly from outside, which makes them feel more like poorly conceived advertisements for the show as opposed to important images within the exhibition as a whole.
What stands out here in many ways is the controlled abstraction of Woodman's lines and zigzags, evident throughout the exhibition. These images may seem random, or at times to reflect a sense of the mundane or even coincidental, yet a deeper look reveals an incredibly sharp eye for compositional precision. There are also other moments which come into play beyond the wider curatorial arc of the exhibition, like Woodman's ability to capture movement and light, which reinforce this sense of crafted, carefully directed moments. It's difficult to escape a sense of melancholy which comes through as well, no doubt in light of the artist's own tragic death. But beyond that, it's a sense of sometimes playful suggestion and consideration that hovers through the images on show that begs further reflection from the viewer, commanding new attention to momentary detail.

The R310 is a Regional Route in South Africa that connects Muizenberg to the south-west with the R45 between Paarl and Franschhoek to the north-east, via Stellenbosch and Hellshoogte Pass. The section between Muizenberg and Stellenbosch is called Baden Powell Drive.

Route
The R310 begins in Muizenberg at an intersection with the M4 (Main Road) . It runs east, hugging the coast (False Bay), bypassing Mitchell's Plain and Khayelitsha. It then veers inland, heading north-east and meets the N2 highway at an off-ramp skirting Eersterivier to the east to reach Stellenbosch. Here, it is cosigned with the R44 to the north, before again heading north-east, through the Hellshoogte Pass. On the other side, it passes through Pniel to end at an intersection with the R45.
