Since Early 2000s, Overdose Death Rates Are Highest in U.S.
Drug-Related Suicide Attempts Skyrocket
Since the early 2000s, the United States has had the highest drug overdose death rates among its peer countries.
HealthDay News — Since the early 2000s, the United States has had the highest drug overdose death rates among its peer countries, according to a study published online Feb. 21 in the Population and Development Review.
Jessica Y. Ho, Ph.D., from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, used data from the Human Mortality Database and the World Health Organization Mortality Database for 18 countries to produce country-, year-, sex-, and age-specific drug overdose death rates between 1994 and 2015.
Ho found that the United States was not an outlier in terms of drug overdose mortality before the early 2000s. However, in each year since 2002 for men and since 2005 for women, the United States has posted the highest drug overdose death rates among the set of countries examined. Based on the two most recent years for which data are available, drug overdose mortality seems to be trending upward for men in 11 out of 18 countries and trending downward for women. The drug overdose mortality was 3.5 times higher on average in the United States than its peer countries (range, 1.6 to 28 times higher).
"One of the most surprising findings from this study is that while Americans now have the highest drug overdose death rates, this hasn't always been the case," Ho said in a statement. "We've seen huge shifts in drug overdose, and we need to pay attention to the factors that contribute to the development and continued persistence of this epidemic."

World Register of Peace Makers: Local Authorities
CODE OF ETHICS AND DECLARATION OF INTENT
The commitment entered into by the signatories of this Code, which is open to all Local and Regional Authorities seeking to act in the spirit of basic human and civil rights, is that of being peace makers. To be a peace maker is the commitment made by Local and Regional Authorities; those authorities are understood not only as being emanations of the State with varying types of local powers, but a direct democratic expression of the communities which place great stress on the local area itself; they are not merely bureaucratic and administrative structures but the very place where citizens' participation and their will are exercised and implemented; at the same time they are the place that provides those citizens with a number of essential services. From that standpoint, the Local and Regional authorities signing this Code acknowledge the importance of:
• paying special attention when interpreting the mood of citizens, when calling upon them to be public spirited and to be aware of local, national and international (continental and worldwide) citizenship and when referring to the great values which must be the foundation of society's strength;
• broadening the proper distribution of information to foster the development of a common awareness of being an interdependent part and having shared responsibility not only in local and national issues, but also in continental and international-global issues in a world which has now become a 'global village' in which everything and everyone is affected, whether directly or indirectly;
• supporting the development of knowledge and fostering behaviour and initiatives for encouraging compliance with basic rights, civil society and therefore peace with a view to building a new humanism;
• fostering all forms of civic and intercultural education and in particular education in basic human and civil rights and responsibilities. The signatories to this Code, aware of the importance of the foregoing and of the great effort needed to build peace using peaceful means in accordance with the law, consider greater cooperation between Local and Regional authorities to be crucial to being able freely to express their own expectations, formulate their own requests and make their own contributions both to the cause of the processes for continent-wide unification and to the establishment, through an appropriate restructuring of the UN, of a new internationalism based on the rule of law so as to promote and protect effectively basic human and civil rights throughout the world and therefore peace. They therefore consider participation in the "United Peacers – The world Community for a New Humanism" to be of particular relevance.
In relation to this Code of Ethics the undersigned_________________________________________________ representing_________________________________________________________________(Local authority) declares: – that its statute and/or regulations already contain an explicit reference to its commitment to peace and compliance with basic human and civil rights or there is a commitment to insert such a reference into its statute and/or regulations; – that it undertakes to hold at least one event a year for peace and basic human and civil rights possibly linking it to a specific training course; − that it will play an active role in the work of the "United Peacers – The World Community for a New Humanism" by undertaking to publicize and encourage participation in it by its own citizens through at least one specific event a year; − that it will cooperate on publicity to increase awareness of information and guidance given each year by the Forum and the World Register of Peace Makers.

A modern set of Timber Sliding Doors can transform your home significantly. Sliding doors create space to make the best use of your living, dining or office area. By opening up the area, your doors can maximize the functionality of the area and are perfect for creating an open-plan, contemporary feel to the space. Many of our clients love the practicality of the space provided by our timber sliding doors – without swinging/folding doors, space can be utilized to position sofas, tables, desks or other furniture.
A common discussion that we have with our clients is the pro's and con's of both Timber sliding doors and Bi-fold doors. While Bi-fold doors fold to open up the entire opening, Sliding doors stack together onto the 1st door. However, many of our clients find this practical when opening out from a living area for example, where the stacked doors essentially create an extension of the wall – great for positioning a sofa or table. Of course, there's also the solution of having your timber Sliding doors stack into a cavity recessed into your wall, or extending the framework and having your doors slide externally to stack over the exterior wall space.
Our timber sliding doors are available in a variety of configurations, with some doors 'fixed' (referred to as 'X') and some doors 'sliding' (referred to as 'O'). Below we have featured some images to display a few examples of common configurations. There are also many other configurations available, including those which feature a larger number of doors. To discuss your project and any custom specifications, contact our friendly experienced joinery estimating team via our Contact page.

Medal of Honor Monday: Navy Chief Petty Officer William Badders
May 13, 2019 | BY Katie Lange
Master divers have one of the most coveted titles in the U.S. Navy. They're technical experts who can journey to dark depths of the world's oceans to accomplish things few others can with little to no margin for error.
Navy Chief Petty Officer William Badders, a machinist's mate, had that coveted role in the 1930's. He and three of his colleagues took part in one of the greatest undersea rescues of all time and it earned them all the Medal of Honor.

VIRIN: 400119-N-ZZ999-153
Badders was born in Harrisburg, Illinois, at the turn of the century and entered the Navy Reserve in August 1918, just shy of his 17th birthday. He transferred to the active-duty Navy in December 1919 and eventually became a diver.
The next two decades came with several accolades for Badders:
In 1926, he earned the Navy Cross during the salvage of USS S-51, a submarine that sank after colliding with a merchant steamer.
In 1931, he earned the designation of master diver.
He received commendations for his work during the 1928 salvage of USS S-4, a sunken submarine, and the 1932 salvage of the Japanese steamship Kaku Maru.
In 1933, he received commendations for clearing the propeller of the minesweeper USS Bittern while at sea.
It was in 1939 that he earned the nation's highest award for valor.
USS Falcon crewmen help Navy divers suit up during the rescue operation following the sinking of the USS Squalus, May 24, 1939.
The Sinking of the USS Squalus
The USS Squalus was a diesel-electric submarine that sank three months after its commissioning. On the morning of May 23, 1939, the Squalus was off the coast of Maine practicing submerging at high speeds when it suffered a catastrophic valve failure. The sub quickly took on water and sank 240 feet to the bottom of the ocean.
Divers and salvage ships came quickly to try to save the men stuck in the vessel; however, it took a full day to get the dangerous rescue mission in place. Shortly before noon on May 24, the USS Falcon lowered a newly developed rescue chamber into the water. It had only been used in training up until that day.
Badders was operating the chamber. According to the Naval Institute archives, the plan was to lower the chamber via cables to the sub's deck and seal it to one of its hatches. The rescuers would then blow the water out of the sub's chamber, open both hatches and then pull out the trapped crewmen.

It worked. Thirty-three submariners who survived the sinking were divided into four groups and rescued over the next 13 hours.
The last perilous journey to the surface was made by Badders and his assistant, Petty Officer First Class John Mihalowski, a torpedoman. Several strands of the cable that was lifting the chamber had been severed during the previous lift. Badders and Mihalowski knew that if either of them became incapacitated, there was no way they would be rescued. But after four hours and a lot of ingenuity on their part, they were able to successfully get the remaining survivors to the top.
Chamber Rescue

For his efforts in such a harrowing situation, Badders received the Medal of Honor on Jan. 19, 1940. Mihalowski and two other master divers, Orson Crandall and James Harper McDonald, also received the medal.
Medal Presentation

The men earned the honor for heroism during rescue and salvage operations following the accidental sinking of USS Squalus on May 23, 1939.
VIRIN: 400119-N-ZZ999-604A
While 33 men were saved from the Squalus, 26 others stationed in the rear of the vessel did not make it out alive. All but one of their bodies were found after the sub was raised on Sept. 13, 1939. Badders helped with the salvage mission.
According to the Naval Institute archives, a Navy court determined a mechanical malfunction caused the disaster. As a result, submarine hull valves were converted to quick-closing flapper valves to prevent future tragedies.
The Squalus was decommissioned in November 1939, renamed Sailfish and recommissioned on May 15, 1940. It was decommissioned again after World War II. Its conning tower was cut away and can now be found in a park at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, where memorial ceremonies are held every year in May.
Meanwhile, Badders transferred to the Fleet Reserve in March 1940. He lived a long life with his wife, Lavinia, and two children. He died in November 1986 at age 85 and was buried in San Francisco National Cemetery.
This article is part of a weekly series called "Medal of Honor Monday," in which we highlight one of the more than 3,500 Medal of Honor recipients who have earned the U.S. military's highest medal for valor.

2015-06-24 : I've got the Gated AutoEncoder (3way) script currently running on their example data. (http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~rfm/code/rae/index.html) I need to get familiar with this code.
2015-06-21 : 22:49 hrs : I found a java package from Brown called BURLAP that will work with my current setup (i.e. the RL-Glue arrangement). It has Fitted Value Iteration as well as Least Squares Policy Iteration. LSPI was used by Ammar in his research on learning an autonomous intertask mapping function using a Three-way RBM. This paper is foundationally a jump off point. My research will partly be in the use 3-way Denoising Autoencoder to build a common feature subspace between two tasks. This will play a major role as a shared feature node in a hierarchical structure.
I also have found a 3-way denoising auto-encoder Python script. It was used to work with two images,.
2015-05-24 : 21:52 hrs : I was able to get the Sarsa(lambda) w/ Fourier series up and running. It appears to solve the Mountain Car task within a few episodes. This is consistent with the graph on the wiki page for the agent.
2015-05-24 : 21:30 hrs : Using code from RL Library / RL Glue, I'm able to successfully capture any number of <s,a,s',r> quartuples from the Mountain Car and Cart Pole environments.
Investigate BURLAP and implement a LSPI learning agent.
Need to be able to save an agent after it has learned a good policy (or save the policy) so that I can retrieve samples on that policy.
Get a learning agent to learn in the MC and CP tasks to some threshold.
Implement a relational auto-encoder and train on samples from MC and CP tasks.
My ultimate goal is to create a working transfer learning framework between RL in one modality to RL in another. I have some ideas about what modality means, and that will necessarily direct the tasks involved in testing. But, I haven't solidified the formality of modality, yet.
Ultimately, I want to build an autonomous Cross-modal Reinforcement Transfer Learning agent.
I've been working on getting code setup for doing reinforcement transfer learning. I last worked on being able to retrieve random samples from a task. It could be any task, but the one's I've selected are standard tasks.
These are the Mountain Car and Cart Pole or Inverted Pendulum tasks.
These are mainly for me so I don't lose my way.
Code for MountainCar can be found my Dropbox under Code/dissertation/MountainCar. It will output the <s,a,s',r> quartuple.
Code for the SimpleExperiment can be found under Code/dissertation/SimpleExperiment. This is responsible for running the experiment. For random sampling, we tell the other components to initialize and run one episode.
Code for the RandomAgent can be found under Code/dissertation/RandomAgent. As the name suggests, the agent simply picks a random action and returns it.

Yahya Al-Btoush, the Grand Mufti of the Jordanian Armed Forces, left, and Father Nabil Haddad of the Greek Melkite Catholic Church in Amman, Jordan, and the founder and CEO of the Jordanian Interfaith Coexistence Research Center, visit Wednesday outside the LDS Church's Temple Square after having participated in BYU's 22nd annual International Law and Religion Symposium.
PROVO, Utah — A Muslim and a Christian got on a plane together in the Middle East and traveled the 7,000 miles to Utah to deliver a message of peace this week to leaders from around the world.
Before their presentation, the two good-humored friends first visited a mosque in West Valley City, celebrated a Catholic Mass and attended the Sunday morning session of the worldwide LDS general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The actions of the grand mufti and the Melkite Catholic priest matched their message, delivered Tuesday to representatives of 40 nations at Brigham Young University's 22nd annual International Law and Religion Symposium: That the true nature of Islam calls for tolerance, moderation and the rejection of extremism and terrorism and provides a basis for interfaith unity and peaceful coexistence.
"Our message is that if we as Muslims and Christians in Jordan are able to live amicably and in fraternity, why can't others do that where they are?" said Father Nabil Haddad, dean of the Saints Peter and Paul Old Cathedral in Amman, Jordan.
The fraternity exhibited by Father Haddad and Maj. Gen. Yahya Al-Btoush, the grand mufti of the Jordanian Armed Forces, is formalized in the Amman Message, a pluralistic 2004 statement by Jordan's King Abdullah that has become a consensus, landmark document that seeks to counter the roots of terrorism and guide interfaith relations.
The two friends travel internationally to share the message.
"Jordan is a small country with a loud voice in the Middle East," Al-Btoush said. "Jordan is trying to be a light by calling for reason in the area. There is a lot of darkness around it. We are working diligently to keep the candle lighted. Even though the neighboring countries try to put it out, we know we'll be able to keep it lighted."
This week, they carried the Amman Message to Utah and BYU and made new friends with Latter-day Saint leaders, meeting Wednesday with President Henry B. Eyring and President Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the First Presidency as well as members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
"I believe we did not come to visit," Father Haddad said. "I believe we made a pilgrimage. A pilgrimage is a visit to do something sacred. I believe when we set out from Amman, we started that pilgrimage as brothers and neighbors and we have been touched by the spirit of fraternity and friendliness here."
"I admire the smiling faces in Utah. I admire the sacredness of the family in (LDS) life. I always love Sundays, but now I'm learning from you to respect Mondays."
For 100 years, Mormons have traditionally reserved Mondays for family home evenings. Al-Btoush said he will start holding family nights with his family.
"I learned during this pilgrimage," said Father Haddad, founder and CEO of the Jordanian Interfaith Coexistence Research Center, "that this institution (BYU), with its renowned reputation, could be a tool to build understanding. I saw this. It was very evident that the devotion for service and love of all is here. We are your partners, we are your friends and we are part of one human family. We'd be more than happy to work with you."
Jordan is under pressure because of the rise of the Islamic State even as King Abdullah has made the Amman Message part of Jordanian diplomacy. The country is taking in refugees from countries throughout the region.
The grand mufti (or great expounder) spreads the message in his work as a chaplain.
"We're making sure that the imams and chaplains in Jordan are spreading the same vision among all the ranks, so that we can be united," he said. "Because of that, our army is a moderate army."
BYU's symposium brings together scholars and civic and religious leaders to discuss multiple topics surrounding law and religion.
"I very much appreciate the interfaith and interreligious component of the symposium," said Elizabeta Kitanovic, executive secretary of the Conference of European Churches. "Usually religions gather after a conflict situation. They don't sit together in times of peace to try to improve relations. I appreciate gathering here in a time of peace."

GCC, December 2016: Fitness First, the region's leading fitness brands, has announced the launch of a new group training program, 6D, launching across all UAE clubs starting 1st January, and across all other Middle East clubs on 1st January 2017. The 6D program is an entirely new fitness concept adding to the already extensive list of Fitness First group exercise classes.
6D is a results driven 30 minute HIIT program, created based on 6 dimensions of fitness: MOVE, LIFT, CORE, BURN, FUNCTION & RECOVER. 6D brings a brand-new fitness concept to members who want to increase their endurance and see results fast. The high-octane nature of the classes are ideally suited for shedding pounds and sculpting bodies. The concept will feature six different stations all focusing on particular movements intended to drive the heart-rate up and target specific muscle groups. Members will work for 45 seconds and rest for 15 seconds as they rotate from station to station over the course of each class which will be approximately 30 minutes long and can burn up to 600 calories per class.
To keep members engaged and motivated, the 6D program will be refreshed and varied with a brand-new program with different movements every 2 weeks, keeping the workout game strong and targeting the entire body to generate fast and efficient results. Members from any fitness level can join and work at their own intensity, making the training concept available to all. The program is also linked to the Fitness First MYZONE too, which is an application that gives live feedback to members who are registered throughout their workouts allowing members to track their progress in terms of effort exerted, duration of workout, calories burned and heart rate monitoring.
Each of the six dimensions has a specific movement pattern, which will hit more than one muscle group at a time to optimize fat burning, increase strength, co-ordination and maximize workout efficiency. The classes will be led by qualified 6D coaches whom have also completed thorough 6D training, including specific courses on the individual fitness tools which are used within the 6D program. Each class can accommodate a maximum of 12 members which ensures a singular focus from the coach on each and every member to ensure proper form and safety. It is a gym floor based class which allows increased development in fitness due to its supportive group atmosphere.
Alan Holl, Head of Fitness & Business Development says, 'Here at Fitness First we are constantly looking for innovation and cutting edge programming to inspire our members to reach all of their fitness goals.
6D, led by our expert staff will ensure members receive an outstanding experience in our clubs that can be seamlessly tracked with MYZONE technology.
A new training concept to be added to the extensive timetable available at Fitness First locations, continuously striving and leading the way as a full service 360 degree fitness solution.

Canine distemper is a highly contagious and often fatal disease that can affect dogs. It is an airborne virus that is also spread through contact with items like clothing, dog brushes, shared food, shared water bowls or other utensils. It can also be passed on via fresh urine or blood. There is no known cure for distemper and young puppies that have not been vaccinated or older dogs who are unvaccinated are more susceptible to contracting the disease. Other animals like foxes, wolves and ferrets are also affected by this disease.
Feline distemper is also referred to as Feline Panleukopenia virus (FPV). It is a highly contagious and life threatening disease. It affects the intestinal tract and bone marrow and leads to an anaemic condition that leaves the cat susceptible to other illnesses. Feline distemper is also spread through infected blood, faeces, urine or by fleas that are passed on from infected cats. It can also be spread through water bowls, bedding and food bowls. Feline distemper can also be spread by humans handling infected cats.
There is no risk of cross contamination between dogs and cats in relation to the different strains of distemper, but animals and humans can carry the disease on their bodies and spread it that way.
Symptoms in dogs include a high fever, lack of appetite and lack of energy. The dog may lose weight and become dehydrated. The disease also affects the respiratory and gastrointestinal organs and the result is diarrhoea and vomiting. The dog may also be coughing and sneezing with mucous coming from their nose and eyes.
The later stages of this disease affects the dog's nervous system resulting in convulsions and seizures.
Symptoms in cats include vomiting, dehydration, weight loss, high fever and diarrhoea.
Canine distemper is diagnosed with biochemical tests and urine analysis, which may also reveal a reduced number of lymphocytes, the white blood cells that function in the immune system in the initial stages of the disease (lymphopenia). A serology test may identify positive antibodies, but this test cannot distinguish between vaccination antibodies and an exposure to a virulent virus. Viral antigens may be detected in urine sediment or vaginal imprints. Haired skin, nasal mucous, and the footpad epithelium may be tested for antibodies as well. Radiographs can only be used to determine whether an infected animal has contracted pneumonia. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans can be used to examine the brain for any lesions that may have developed.
There are a number of ways that a vet may diagnose feline distemper these include a physical examination, blood tests and a urine analysis. A fecal example may also be collected so that the cat can be tested for distemper.
TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT
There are no viral drugs that will treat the effects of canine distemper and even when treated distemper may be fatal. Symptoms including dehydration may be treated by the introduction of fluids, medication and antibiotics may also treat other symptoms. The earlier this disease is treated the more effective it will be and once this disease impacts the nervous system unfortunately there is no treatment at all.
Catw can also be treated to ensure that their symptoms are alleviated. That includes fluids for dehydration, medications to stop vomiting and antibiotics to help the cat in relation to protecting them from developing bacterial infections.
Distemper vaccinations have been available since the 1950s and today the illness has been somewhat contained due to the vaccination programs.
The distemper vaccination is usually given to dogs from when they are puppies and then every one to three years.
Vaccinations against FPV in cats are also a must. Kittens should be vaccinated for distemper as per veterinary advice and then every one to three years after that.

Vaccinations are essential to protect your pet from Distemper. Our Routine Care cover option helps covering costs for vaccinations and health checks. To cover your pet with pet insurance and our Routine Care cover option, call us on 1800 668 502, or get an online quote now.
COMMONLY AFFECTED BREEDS
All dog breeds will be affected but it is related to those dogs that have not been vaccinated against the disease. For example, young and unvaccinated puppies or puppies that are not fully vaccinated are vulnerable. Older dogs that have not been vaccinated can also catch distemper if they come into contact with another dog with the disease or through the environment.
All breeds of cats are also vulnerable to infection if they have not been vaccinated against FPV.
INTERESTING DISTEMPER FACTS
Canine distemper is resistant to any weather conditions which means it can affect animals all year round.
Prior to canine parvovirus canine distemper was the most feared disease for dogs.
If a dog is infected and survives distemper owners should wait one month before introducing any new pets to the household.
Distemper has been recognised as a growing threat to Siberian (Amur) tigers.

In October 1995, Congress adopted the Jerusalem Embassy Relocation Act, noting that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and that the U.S. Embassy should be moved there from Tel Aviv no later than May 31, 1999.
The Act also included a stipulation allowing the President to issue a waiver every six months to keep the embassy in Tel Aviv if he determines such is necessary to protect the national security interests of the United States.
Since 1999, each President - Clinton, Bush and Obama - has used the waiver to suspend the relocation of the Embassy at six month intervals, a copy of which is presented below. President Obama renewed the waiver most recently, on June 1, 2016.
Pursuant to the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including section 7(a) of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-45)(the "Act"), I hereby determine that it is necessary, in order to protect the national security interests of the United States, to suspend for a period of 6 months the limitations set forth in sections 3(b) and 7(b) of the Act.
This suspension shall take effect after the transmission of this determination and report to the Congress.


Who can help me prequalify?
Prequalifying shows you how much you can afford to spend on a home based on where you stand financially, taking into account your income, debt and savings, among other factors. Lenders also consider current interest rates.
A loan officer or home-purchase education counselor can help you prequalify.
Prequalifying is not a commitment on your part to work with a particular lender or real estate agent, and it doesn't guarantee you a loan on the lender's part – that all happens during the actual loan application process. But prequalifying can help you narrow your house hunt and avoid potential disappointment.

US-Led Forces Resume Normal Patrols in Syria
A US-led coalition fighting jihadists resumed regular patrols in Kurdish-held areas of northeast Syria on Friday after earlier Turkish air strikes, an AFP correspondent and a Kurdish military source said.
Patrols were reduced following the Turkish strikes that began on November 20 in Kurdish-controlled areas of Syria and Iraq, in response to a deadly Istanbul bombing that Ankara blamed on Kurdish groups.
The Kurds denied responsibility.
Hundreds of American troops are in Syria as part of the fight against remnants of the Islamic State group jihadists.
Two four-vehicle patrols bearing US flags set off separately from a base in Rmeilan in Hasakeh province, the AFP correspondent said.
A vehicle belonging to the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) accompanied each convoy, which traveled in different directions towards Syria's borders.
"The international coalition in cooperation with the Syrian Democratic Forces resumed its usual patrols in northeast Syria following a reduction due to Turkish strikes in the area," a Kurdish military source told AFP.
The source requested anonymity as he was not authorized to speak on the matter.
The usual 20 weekly patrols had dropped to around five or six following the Turkish strikes, which Ankara said it carried out with aircraft and drones.
The US supports the SDF, which is the Kurds' de facto army in the area and led the battle that dislodged IS from the last scraps of their Syrian territory in 2019.
Turkey said it struck targets of the Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), which dominate the SDF but which Ankara sees as an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
Turkey and its Western allies designate the PKK as a terrorist group.
The SDF "needs to focus on repelling the Turkish threats and protecting its areas," the Kurdish military source said.
See also Why Are We Failing Veterans Who Bravely Served Our Country?
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor with a vast network of sources on the ground, said patrols were also seen Friday in Deir Ezzor province further south.
Turkey has also threatened a ground operation in the semi-autonomous Syrian Kurdish zones, something which US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin on Wednesday expressed "strong opposition" to.
The SDF has warned that a Turkish incursion would jeopardize the fight against IS.

Q: Regex returning null while searching for a string I am wroking on a ASP.NET console application using C# that is trying to read some files from a website by logging in and then writing the files on local drive.
I have following Regex which searches for some string in a text file -
var fileNames = (from Match m in Regex.Matches(pageSource, @"[0-9]+_+[A-Za-z]+_+[0-9]+-+[0-9]+-+[0-9]+(_+[0-9]+)?\.+(acc|zip|app|xml|def|enr|exm|fpr|pnd|trm)")
                        select new { m.Value }).ToList();

This code was working perfectly with my web application doing the same task. But when I m using it in my console application, the filenames.count is 0.
What possibly could be the problem while this code still works with my web application?
Thanks in advance :)

A: var fileNames = (from Match m in Regex.Matches(pageSource, @"[0-9]+_+[A-Za-z]+_+[0-9]+-+[0-9]+-+[0-9]+(_+[0-9]+)?\.+(acc|zip|app|xml|def|enr|exm|fpr|pnd|trm)")                         select m.Value).ToList();

That worked for me...
I removed

select  new { m.Value  }).ToList();

Thanks for replying and helping guys :)

La torta in faccia è un gesto che consiste nel colpire qualcuno sul viso con una torta per scherzo, derisione, e/o protesta. Al fine di non ledere la vittima, le torte destinate al "lancio" sono soffici (vengono spesso preparate usando creme o panna montata, sono prive di uno strato di crosta superiore) e non vengono riscaldate. In alcuni casi, le torte usate per colpire qualcuno possono essere sostituite da semplici teglie di alluminio cosparse di panna montata o schiuma da barba.

Storia
La pratica di schiacciare delle torte in faccia ha origine nei numeri di varietà di Fred Karno e nelle commedie slapstick del primo Novecento. Il primo film in cui capita ciò è Mr. Flip, realizzato nel 1909 dalla Essanay. Nel corso della pellicola, Ben Turpin, che interpreta il protagonista, viene colpito da una torta in faccia dopo aver tentato di corteggiare una donna. Il regista di corti comici Mack Sennett iniziò a girare film con torte in faccia dal 1913, anno in cui uscirono That Ragtime Band e A Noise from the Deep. Stando alle parole di Sennett, "una madre non può mai essere colpita da una torta alla crema, ma le suocere sì".

Il primo film dove compare una vera e propria battaglia con lanci di torte è Charlot macchinista, diretto da Charlie Chaplin nel 1916. Ne La battaglia del secolo del 1927, il duo Stanlio e Ollio prende parte a una sorta di "guerra" ove vengono lanciate tremila torte. La tradizione delle torte in faccia nel cinema hollywoodiano venne consolidata ulteriormente grazie ai film Shivering Shakespeare (1930), Keystone Hotel (1941) e In the Sweet Pie and Pie (1941).

Diversi corti animati dei Looney Tunes usciti tra gli anni quaranta e sessanta presentano scene in cui i vari personaggi vengono colpiti da torte in faccia.

La canzone Make 'Em Laugh (1952), che venne usata nel film Cantando sotto la pioggia, si conclude con la frase and then you get a great big custard pie in the face! ("e alla fine ti prendi una grossa torta in faccia!")

Una delle più famose sequenze con torte in faccia della storia del cinema è quella de La grande corsa del 1965, nel corso della quale vengono lanciati quattromila dolci e utilizzata una torta di più grandi dimensioni. La scena venne girata in cinque giorni e costò 200.000 dollari.

I primissimi casi in cui delle persone vennero colpite da torte in faccia per protesta e/o attivismo risalgono a cavallo tra gli anni sessanta e settanta. Il 14 ottobre del 1969, l'editore e ghostwriter Jim Retherford lanciò una torta in faccia al presidente dell'Università della California, Berkeley, Clark Kerr, mentre si trovava a Bloomington. L'anno seguente il sociologo e presidente della President's Commission on Obscenity and Pornography Otto Larsen venne colpito da una torta lanciatagli da Tom Forçade, yippie e fondatore della rivista High Times. Un altro yippie di nome Aron Kay colpì con delle torte William F. Buckley, Phyllis Schlafly, G. Gordon Liddy, E. Howard Hunt e Andy Warhol. Thom Higgins, un discepolo di Kay, fece lo stesso con la controversa attivista Anita Bryant.

Fece scalpore il caso di Bill Gates che, nel 1998, venne colpito da una torta alla panna mentre era in visita a Bruxelles per incontrare i funzionari dell'Unione Europea. L'autore del fatto, un anarchico umorista di nome Noël Godin, fece gesti analoghi con altri noti personaggi, come Jean-Luc Godard e Bernard-Henri Lévy.

Nel corso del 2014 alcuni proposero una variante del fenomeno virale Ice Bucket Challenge, intitolata Pie In The Eye Challenge, in cui il protagonista del video viene colpito da una torta in faccia.

Writing memoir is your opportunity to capture your life—or more likely a partof your life—on the page. In this daylong workshop, we'll explore craft techniques such as characterization, setting, scene, dialogue, and reflectionto make you—your memoir's main character—come alive on the page. The classwill include discussion of sample writings, in-class exercises and prompts, and a toolbox of resources to help you on this writing journey.
Participants in this workshop will also have the opportunity to read in the evening with Iris at The Writers' Workshoppe/Imprint Books. The reading will be from 7:00-8:00pm and each reader will have 4 minutes to read. Bring your family and friends because it will be a wonderful evening.

Have you always wanted to write poetry, but you have felt too intimated? Did someone lie to you and tell you poetry must rhyme, or have big words in it, or be packed with complicated metaphors? Davis will go over the basics of a poem and then provide writing prompts so you can walk away with your own first drafts. No one will be required to read their work out loud. Come and experiment!
Do you have a draft of a poem that you just can't quite get right? What needs attention: the syntax, the title, the beginning, the end? Is your poem too fluffy? Too skeletal? We'll explore the basics of editing, as well as a couple of experimental techniques.
Please bring a minimum of one draft of a poem with you.
You've written something that you love. But what if there is more to discover about it? Can you let go and break your poem? Through a series of deconstructing exercises, we will dismantle our darling drafts to see if there is anything else they want to tell us.
Lauren Davis is the author of Each Wild Thing's Consent, available from Poetry Wolf Press. She holds an MFA from the Bennington College Writing Seminars.

This class is open to writers of all levels. Please come to class with 13 copies of a document that has a 2-3 paragraph description of your book, followed by the book's opening 2 pages (note: the sample is optional, but please come with the synopsis).
Every year, thousands of first-time authors are paid in advance for their debut books. In this one-day intensive we'll focus on the complex work of preparing your book for submission, including sourcing the best literary agents, building a platform, and the fine art of query letter writing. Students will come away with sample queries and handouts on publishing resources.
In the morning you'll have Gary, and in the afternoon you'll have Claudia!
Doesn't a poet always have something to say? Isn't that the prerequisite for writing? Yes, they do, and yes it is. Should all poems be read aloud? Yes, indeed. Creating that credible voice, a poem that comes alive on the page as well from the mouth, the spoken poem is the goal of this workshop. We will close-read works from selected poets and use innovative prompts to create poems that reflect the music, the language and rhythms, and concerns, of a current American life. Think of the modern sonnet, the prose poem, personas, and the dramatic monologue as structures to deliver the word. Writing in the now, we will shape creative pieces which will ring truths on the page and in the ear.

Poems are great ways to explore memory's terrain - revisiting and writing about pleasant happenings in our lives is a way of capturing the joy and gratitude we may experienced in in the past, but poems can also help us grapple, even exorcise difficult memories. We will look at various ways in which poets have tackled memories in their poems and draft several poems of our own.

Q: Coefficients of series Suppose that i have a function $f(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{\infty}a_ix^i$ with radius of convergence $r_f>0$ and that i want to write $f$ in a form $f(x)={e^{g(x)}}$ where $e$ is natural logarithm base and $g(x)=\sum_{i=0}^{\infty}b_ix^i$.
Also, suppose that inside the domain of convergence of $f$ there exists open set $D$ such that on $D$ we have $f(x\in D)>0$ (we need this for $g$ to exist because $e^x>0, \forall x \in\mathbb R$).
Now, i want to express coefficients $b_i$ as a function of the coefficients $a_0,a_1,...,a_n,...$ or, in other direction, to express $a_i$ as a function of $b_0,b_1,...,b_n,...$ when these are known and this pisses me off because i cannot find a way to do that, is there someone who know how to solve this problem(even if it boils down to a system of infinite number of equations with infinite number of unknowns, at least something is known about such systems)?

A: Let $\alpha_k = a_k/a_0$ for $k \ge 1$, we have
$$b_0 + \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}b_k x^k = g(x) = \log f(x) = \log a_0 + \log\left(1 + \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \alpha_k x^k \right)$$
It is clear $b_0 = \log a_0$. Now differential with $x$ on both sides, we get:
$$\sum_{k=1}k b_k x^{k-1} = \frac{\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} k \alpha_k x^{k-1}}{1 + \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \alpha_k x^k}
\;\;\iff\;\;\left(\sum_{k=1}k b_k x^{k-1}\right)\left(1 + \sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \alpha_k x^k\right) =
\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} k \alpha_k x^{k-1}$$
Comparing coefficients of $x^{n-1}$, we obtain a recurrence relation of $b_n$ for $n \ge 1$.
$$n b_n + (n-1)b_{n-1}\alpha_1 + (n-2)b_{n-2}\alpha_2 +\cdots+ b_1 \alpha_{n-1} = n \alpha_n$$
One can use these two equivalent set of relations to compute $\alpha_k$ from $b_k$ or
$b_k$ from $\alpha_k$:
$$
     \alpha_n = b_n + \frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^{n-1} k b_k \alpha_{n-k}
\quad\iff\quad b_n = \alpha_n - \frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^{n-1} k b_k \alpha_{n-k}$$
When one expand these out, one can express $\alpha_n$ as a sum of products of $b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_n$ over the set of representation of $n$ as a sum of positive integers $\le n$. Similarly, we can expand $b_n$ as a sum of products of $\alpha_1, \alpha_2, \ldots, \alpha_n$.
What this mean is foreach n-tuple $(e_1,e_2,\ldots,e_n) \in \mathbb{N}^n$ such that $\sum_{k=1}^n k e_k = n$, one can assign two numbers $\lambda_{e_1e_2\ldots e_n}$
and $\mu_{e_1e_2\ldots e_n}$independent of choice of $\alpha_k$ and $b_n$ such that:
$$
\alpha_n = \sum_{\sum_{k=1}^{n} ke_k = n } \lambda_{e_1e_2\ldots e_n} \prod_{k=1}^n b_k^{e_k}\quad\text{ and }\quad
b_n = \sum_{\sum_{k=1}^{n} ke_k = n } \mu_{e_1e_2\ldots e_n} \prod_{k=1}^n \alpha_k^{e_k}
$$
If I'm not mistaken,
$$\begin{align}
\lambda_{e_1e_2\ldots e_n} = \frac{1}{\prod_{k=1}^n e_k!}
\quad & \implies\quad
\alpha_n = \sum_{\sum_{k=1}^{n} ke_k = n }\left( \prod_{k=1}^n \frac{b_k^{e_k}}{e_k!}\right)\\
\\
\mu_{e_1e_2\ldots e_n} = \frac{(-1)^{m-1} (m-1)!}{\prod_{k=1}^n e_k!}
\quad & \implies\quad
b_n    = \sum_{\sum_{k=1}^{n} ke_k = n}
\left(
(-1)^{m-1}(m-1)!
\prod_{k=1}^n \frac{\alpha_k^{e_k}}{e_k!}\right)
\end{align}$$
where $m$ is the short hand for $\sum_{k=1}^n e_k$.

I don't see any general formula for expressing $b_i$ through $a_i$ (in your notation).

Whether or not you plan to attend the fall Met HD broadcast performances, join Instructor James Sokol for interesting insights into Cilea's lush and tragic Adriana Lecouvreur (1/10), Bizet's exciting and sensuous Carmen (1/31) & Donizetti's delightful and comic La Fille du Regiment (2/28).
Video clips bring the excitement and beauty of opera into the discussion. Our classes are perfect for the opera newcomer and the long-time devotee.
The title role of the real-life French actress who dazzled 18th-century audiences with her on-and offstage passion has been sung by the superstar ranks of Renata Tebaldi, Montserrat Caballé, and Renata Scotto. Following the rivalry between Adriana and the Princesse de Bouillon as they fight for Maurizio's love while, off stage and on the sidelines, poor Michonnet, the stage manager at the Comédie-Française is also in love with Adriana. Cilea's enchanting score includes stunning arias for each of the principal characters.
Novelist Prosper Merimee's iconic gypsy – a woman desired by every man but determined to remain true to herself – is the title role and compelling force in this exciting masterpiece. Don José is the soldier who falls under her spell and sacrifices everything for her love, only to be cast aside when the toreador Escamillo piques Carmen's interest. This thrilling tale comes to life, from its lighthearted beginning to its inevitably tragic climax, heightened by Bizet's melodious and compelling score!
Experience a feast of bel canto fireworks, including a show-stopping tenor aria with its nine high Cs (Yes, nine of them!). This frothy comedy mixes humor with a rush of buoyant melody and notorious vocal challenges. The story of a young orphan girl raised by an army regiment as their mascot begins at the moment of her first stirrings of love. Complications (and comedy) ensue when her true identity is discovered. The action is startlingly simple and unencumbered by intricate subplots, allowing the full charm of the characters and their virtuosic music to come across in an uninhibited way.

Initial Coin Offerings – the hot new trend
On September 20, 2017 September 20, 2017 By mehranmuslimiblogIn Digital Innovation, Initial Coin Offerings, Innovation
Everybody is talking about Initial Coin Offerings or ICOs. Whether it is the expert analysts or the mainstream newspapers, there is a buzz around issuing new digital coins. And no wonder – startups around the world are raising hundreds of millions of dollars through ICOs.
Richard Kastelstein, a partner at Cryptoassets Design group, which helps companies launch ICOs, told Business Insider in July 2017 that half a billion dollars had been raised since the start of the year. It's a sensational sum of money, given that ICOs didn't even exist five years ago.
Raising millions in minutes
And, get this, Gnosis, a prediction market for digital currency Ethereum raised $12 million in 10 minutes in April this year. Brave, a new web browser started by the founder of Mozilla, raised $35 million in 30 seconds by selling 'Basic Attention Tokens'.
April 2017 is being cited as the month that ICOs really caught fire and financial experts believe they will get bigger and bigger. So, how do you set up an ICO?
Setting up an ICO
It's quite simple really. To raise money through an ICO, a company issues a new digital currency that can either be spent within its ecosystem, a bit like Disneyland dollars, or used to power part of the business, like the fuel you put in your car. And as one ICO expert pointed out: "With tokens/digital coins you can get thousands of engaged supporters who are extremely motivated to see your company succeed."
Foe example, Jan Isakovic, CEO of ICO platform Cofound.it has a token that is used on its platform by all the startups applying to join the platform. He raised $14.8 million in June this year through an ICO and this is funding the construction of a platform to connect ICO-funded companies with experts who can help grow their business.
Better than venture capital
Isakovic prefers ICOs because of poor experiences with the more traditional ways of raising funds, such as venture capital. As he says, this method is slow and startups don't always get the support they need, but with an ICO, the funding comes in fast and all the people who put their money into it are engaged and energised to make it work.
Setting up an ICO is relatively simple, and most companies use the Ethereum blockchain network that allows people to write 'smart contracts.' Isakovic explains: "A smart contract is effectively a piece of software, a piece of code. In our smart contract, it says we are selling 125 million tokens, our cap is at 56,000 Ether or something. The ICO lasts until the cap is reached or until four weeks is done. Calculate the contribution and then send tokens. It's two or three pages of programme and Ethereum does everything else."
ICO exchanges
And there is another advantage: unlike buying shares in an early stage company, investors in ICOs can trade the coins almost immediately on a number of exchanges, rather than waiting for a company to list on a stock market. This attracts investors looking to make money, and this is pushing up valuations.
When you look at kript.io, a decentralised mobile app and social network for investing and trading in ICOs, you realise the phenomenal array of investment opportunities that are available, the simplicity of the concept and its security, because the Ethereum platform used for ICOs has proved itself to be bomb proof.
A booming market
The market capitalisation for cryptocurrencies has been steadily growing since the beginning of 2017; in fact it has multiplied by 1.5 times. Without doubt blockchain technology is going to be the future of the financial market and ICOs are going to play a massive role in fund raising. ICOs really are the trend to watch.

See Log Levels in the Monitoring chapter for a detailed description of the different levels.
If you specify --log.file-mode octalvalue then any newly created log file will use "octalvalue" as file mode. Please note that the umask value will be applied as well.
If you specify --log.file-group name then any newly created log file will try to use "name" as group name. Please note that you have to be a member of that group. Otherwise the group ownership will not be changed. Please note that this option is only available under Linux and Mac. It is not available under Windows.
This option toggles the escaping of log output.
If the option is set to false, no characters are escaped. Characters with an ordinal value less than hex 20 will not be printed in this mode but will be replaced with a space character (hex 20).
A side effect of turning off the escaping is that it will reduce the CPU overhead for the logging. However, this will only be noticeable when logging is set to a very verbose level (e.g. debug or trace).
The default value for this option is true.

A root canal is the naturally taking place structural room within the origin of a tooth. It consists of the pulp chamber (within the coronal component of the tooth), the major canal(s), and more elaborate anatomical branches that might attach the root canals to each various other or to the surface area of the origin.
At the facility of every tooth is a hollow area that houses soft tissues, such as the nerve, capillary, and connective tissue. This hollow location consists of a reasonably vast area in the coronal portion of the tooth called the pulp chamber. These canals go through the facility of the origins, comparable to the means pencil lead goes through a pencil. The pulp gets nutrition via the capillary, as well as sensory nerves lug signals back to the mind. A tooth can be spared pain if there is permanent damage to the pulp, by means of root canal treatment.
Root canal makeup contains the pulp chamber as well as root canals. Both include the dental pulp. The smaller branches, referred to as accessory canals, are most regularly discovered near the root end (apex) however might be experienced anywhere along the origin length. The total number of origin canals per tooth depends upon the variety of tooth origins ranging from one to 4, 5 or more sometimes. Sometimes there is greater than one root canal per root. Some teeth have a more variable interior composition than others. An unusual root canal shape, complicated branching (specifically the presence of straight branches), and also several origin canals are considered as the primary reasons of root canal therapy failures. (e.g. If an additional root canal goes undetected by the dentist and also is not cleansed as well as sealed, it will stay infected, triggering the root canal therapy to stop working).
The details attributes as well as intricacy of the interior anatomy of the teeth have been thoroughly studied. Using a reproduction technique on hundreds of teeth, Hess made clear as very early as 1917 that the internal area of dental roots is typically a complex system composed of a main location (root canals with round, oval or irregular cross-sectional form) and also side parts (fins, anastomoses, and accessory canals). Actually, this lateral element may represent a reasonably large volume, which challenges the cleansing phase of the instrumentation procedure in that cells residues of the important or lethal pulp in addition to infectious components are not easily removed in these areas. Therefore, the picture of root canals having a smooth, cone-shaped shape is typically as well radical and ignores the reach of root canal instrumentation.
The room inside the origin canals is full of a highly vascularized, loosened connective tissue, called dental pulp. The dental pulp is the cells of which the dentin part of the tooth is composed. The dental pulp aids the full development of the secondary teeth (grown-up teeth) one to two years after eruption right into the mouth. The dental pulp likewise nourishes and also moistens the tooth structure, making the tooth much more resilient, less weak as well as much less vulnerable to fracture from chewing hard foods. Furthermore, the dental pulp provides a cold and hot sensory function.
Origin canals presenting an oblong cross-section are discovered in 50– 70% of origin canals. On top of that, canals with a "tear-shaped" sample are common when a solitary origin contains 2 canals (as occurs, for example, with the additional mesial root seen with the lower molars), subtleties that can be a lot more challenging to value on timeless radiographs. Current research studies have actually shown that use of cone-down CT can detect accessory canals that would have been missed in 23% of instances, which can, in turn, result in apical periodontitis. The upper molars, particularly, are predisposed to have an occult device canal in nearly fifty percent of clients.
Root canal is likewise a colloquial term for a dental procedure, endodontic treatment, where the pulp is cleaned, the area decontaminated and after that filled.
When rotary nickel-titanium (NiTi) files are utilized in canals with flat-oval or tear-shaped random sample, a round birthed is created due to the rotational activity of the steel. Likewise, little tooth cavities within the canal such as the buccal or lingual recesses may not be instrumented within the tooth, potentially leaving residual disease during sanitation.
Tissue or biofilm remnants along such un-instrumented recesses may lead to failure due to both inadequate sanitation and the lack of ability to properly obturate the root-canal space. Consequently, the biofilm must be gotten rid of with a disinfectant throughout root canal treatment.
A dental implant (additionally called an endosseous implant or component) is a surgical part that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or head to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis or to function as an orthodontic anchor. The basis for contemporary dental implants is a biologic procedure called osseointegration, in which products such as titanium create an intimate bond to bone. The implant fixture is very first positioned to make sure that it is most likely to osseointegrate, after that a dental prosthetic is included. A variable quantity of healing time is needed for osseointegration prior to either the dental prosthetic (a tooth, bridge or denture) is connected to the implant or a joint is put which will certainly hold a dental prosthetic.

Back From South Dakota!
By: Kraig Becker
As you can probably tell by the resumption of updates here at The Adventure Blog today that I have returned from my trip to South Dakota. It was a brief visit, but a very good one, as the state is filled with the kind of natural resources that outdoor loves enjoy so much. Case in point, we were told that there are more than 400 miles (643 km) of single track mountain biking trails within a half-hour drive of Rapid City alone. That's an impressive number when you think about how hard it can be to find a good trail sometimes.
Of course, while there I paid a visit to the amazing Badlands National Park, and dropped by Mt. Rushmore to pay homage to the four presidents on display there. We also traveled to Custer State Park as well, a place that is so strikingly beautiful that it could easily be a national park itself. We even spent one morning hiking to the summit of Harney Peak, South Dakota's high point at 7242 feet (2207 meters).
This was not my first visit to South Dakota, so I had a bit of an idea of what to expect for arrived. But the state always finds ways to surprise you, and this time it was with its diversity of wildlife. Over the course of the five days I was there we came across bison, elk, deer, mountain goats, marmots, rabbits, prairie dogs, countless wild turkeys, and a variety of other creatures. The rugged forests and mountains of the western part of the state make a perfect home for these animals, and it was a lot of fun to see them while hiking or driving through the region.
One thing that did not surprise me was the warm welcome that visitors receive while in South Dakota. The people that live in the state are incredibly friendly and accommodating, often greeting travelers with a smile and a greeting. Everyone I met along the way was happy to talk about the wonderful opportunities their state affords to visitors, and offer suggestions of more things to see and do while there.
You'll hear a lot more about this trip in the days ahead. For now, I'm happy to be home, even if it is for a short while. In two days I'll depart on my honeymoon in Bora Bora, so updates will be interrupted once again. That will be an adventure of a completely different kind of course, but one that I am looking forward to greatly.

Vascular dementia affects 150,000 people in the UK, making it the second most prevalent type of dementia.
Earlier this year researchers revealed a strong link between the condition and surviving a stroke.
They found that one in three stroke sufferers will develop dementia within five years, while one in ten will experience brain decline within 12 months.
Now the British Heart Foundation, Alzheimer's Society and Stroke Association are investing £2.2million into investigating vascular dementia.
But what is the condition?
Vascular dementia is the second most common type of dementia after Alzheimer's disease.
It can cause memory loss and difficulties with thinking and language. The disease occurs when the brain is damaged because of problems with the supply of blood to the brain.
Symptoms occur when the brain is damaged because of problems with blood supply.
They are triggered by the narrowing of the blood vessels inside the brain - a stroke - which causes the blood supply to the brain to be cut off, usually as a result of a blood clot.
The most frequent cognitive symptoms in the early stages are problems with planning or organising, making decisions or solving problems, difficulties following a series of steps, slower speed of thought, problems concentrating or periods of sudden confusion.
A person may also have difficulties with memory, language and the ability to perceive objects properly.
Mood changes can also be a key symptoms of the condition. Some people experience mood swings - rapidly becoming unhappy or tearful, and it is not uncommon for some to experience depression or anxiety as a result of the illness.
However, symptoms can change depending on which part of the brain is affected.
This can result in difficulty speaking, weakness or inability to move limbs or vision. Loss of bladder control can also occur.
While not everyone who has a stroke will develop vascular dementia, the Alzheimer's Society said one in five people who have a stroke will develop post-stroke dementia within the following six months.
The condition can be caused by a series of mini strokes which cause damage to the brain. These can often be symptomless or cause temporary symptoms. To function properly, brain cells need a constant supply of blood.
But if the vascular system is affected - the way in which blood is delivered to the brain - brain cells can be damaged and they will eventually die.
The Alzheimer's Society said age is the strongest risk factor for vascular dementia.
It stated: "A person's risk of developing the condition doubles approximately every five years over the age of 65.
"Vascular dementia under the age of 65 is uncommon and affects 8,000 people in the UK.
Researchers also believe there are genetic factors behind vascular dementia.
Lifestyle changes, such as maintaining health blood pressure through diet and exercise, could reduce your risk.
If you are concerned you - or a loved one - might have vascular dementia, contact a GP.


According to Forrester Research, ebusiness and channel professionals' top investment priorities this year include the ecommerce platform and Web Content Management (WCM), as many ecommerce sites, CPG brands and manufacturers selling directly to business and consumers seek to replace existing systems with best-of-breed tools to deliver the ultimate digital customer experience whilst freeing marketing and merchandising teams from reliance on IT.
Organizations looking to build best-of-breed solutions need to decide whether to invest in WCM, ecommerce, or both—and which platform should drive which piece of the experience. And similar to a build vs. buy decision when considering an ecommerce platform or re-platform project, determining whether to run your digital commerce experience through WCM, ecommerce or both requires an understanding of your business' characteristics and needs.

NZ sets wrong precedent of unilateral decision to end tour: Wasim Khan
Published On 19 September,2021 05:14 pm
We visited New Zealand despite the mosque attack, says the PCB CEO
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Wasim Khan has said that New Zealand has set a wrong precedent of unilateral decision to end the tour.
In a statement about the return of the New Zealand team, Wasim Khan said that this decision will affect the relations between the two boards.
"I wanted to bring some facts to light as 48 hours were very difficult for us. ESI Security Services Head Rig Dixon telephoned us on Friday and said that there is a risk of an attack on the New Zealand team. Neither we nor our security agencies have been notified of the threat," the PCB chief executive officer mentioned.
Wasim Khan also maintained that when he contacted the security agencies, it became clear that there was no threat. "We quarantined him for 14 days in New Zealand. We went despite the mosque attack. Canceling the New Zealand series was a unilateral decision. The matter will be taken up with the ICC," he added.
