Besides having great features, goal of reitit is to be really, really fast. The routing was originally exported from Pedestal, but since rewritten.
Based on the perf tests, the first (static path) lookup is 300-500x faster and the second (wildcard path) lookup is 6-40x faster that the other tested routing libs (Ataraxy, Bidi, Compojure and Pedestal).
Thanks to the snappy SegmentTrie (a modification of Radix Tree), reitit-ring is fastest here. Calfpath and Pedestal are also quite fast.
A quick poke to routers in Go indicates that the reitit is only few times slower than the fastest routers in Go. Which is kinda awesome.

Black Sea shipping rates rise as reinsurers cut cover
By Jonathan Saul
Reinsurers added exclusions from Jan. 1
Ships have not lost cover, but costs will rise
Black Sea crucial for grain, oil and oil products
LONDON, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Costs for hiring ships to transport commodities from the Black Sea have risen by more than a fifth since the start of the year, reflecting higher war risk insurance rates, industry sources said.
The Black Sea is crucial for the shipment of grain, oil and oil products. Its waters are shared by Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania and Turkey, as well as Russia and Ukraine.
Since Jan. 1, when policies are renewed, reinsurers that provide financial protection for insurance companies have added exclusions for ships and planes for Belarus, Russia and Ukraine.
Six insurance sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said an exodus of reinsurers from the market had added to unease over the risk of ship seizures by Russia and liabilities related to the war in Ukraine, including floating mines or vessels getting stuck in ports for long periods.
Since the introduction of exclusions this year, insurers who provide cover will not have the cushion of reinsurance in the event of big claims.
The sources said no vessels had lost their insurance provision, but they expected higher rates that would vary depending on specific circumstances, and that war risk premiums had so far risen by more than 20%.
That could add to inflationary pressures, which last year reached multi-decade highs after the Ukraine war drove some commodity prices to record levels.
"The effect of (the exit of reinsurers) is reducing (underwriting) capacity in the market for war risk and will mean people will pay more this year," one marine insurance source involved said.
Ships typically have protection and indemnity insurance, which covers third-party liability claims including environmental damage and injury. Separate hull and machinery policies cover vessels against physical damage. In addition, vessels typically have annual war insurance policies.
UNTO THE BREACH EVERY SEVEN DAYS
Last year, the Lloyd's of London market declared the Black Sea and Sea of Azov waters a high risk zone before Russia's invasion of Ukraine began on Feb. 24, meaning even ships entering areas not close to Ukraine required an additional war policy.
Known as breach cover, the policy has to be renewed every seven days.
Industry sources say breach war policies for hull insurance are up by 20%-25% since the end of last year, which translates into additional costs of tens of thousands of dollars a day for a single voyage, and they are expected to rise further.
"For shipments going in and out of Russia you will find premiums going up. It could easily rise by 50% (from the end of last year) to reflect the cost of capital from not being reinsured," another marine insurance source said.
The rates are calculated as a percentage of the value of a ship. Ships values vary from around $20 million for older vessels to over $100 to $250 million for ultra modern tankers and liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels.
The cost of transporting crude oil from non-Russian Black Sea ports is estimated at $80,000 a day for the smaller aframax tankers, slightly firmer from the end of last year.
Average tanker freight costs for aframaxes from Russian ports are quoted at $180,000 to $200,000 a day. The freight rates exclude the additional war risk premiums plus other expenses such as fuel.
Rises in separate cargo war insurance are also set to hit traders.
Around 90% of the war risk market for marine and aviation is insured in Lloyd's and the wider London commercial insurance market, industry sources say. (Reporting by Jonathan Saul and Carolyn Cohn; editing by Barbara Lewis)

On 6 June at 2305 an explosion from Colima produced an ash plume to a height of ~8.5 km (27,900 ft) a.s.l. The ash plume traveled SW at a speed of ~70 km/hour, and ash fell in and around the cities of Colima (~30 km away) and Villa de Alvarez. On 11 June Universidad de Colima reported that a small lava dome was visible in Colima's crater. According to news articles, nearly 50 people who were evacuated from near the volcano during the previous week returned to their homes on 13 June.


Completing activities of daily living, such as bathing and dressing, are essential to independence, which is why Ameribest Home Care offers comprehensive occupational therapy. Philadelphia residents have been turning to the expertise and compassion of our therapy team for years! We staff our company with the best and brightest occupational therapy professionals Philadelphia has to offer.
Therapy plays an essential role in helping you or your loved one maintain their independence and quality of life. Our occupational therapy services in Philadelphia are administered by licensed and thoroughly background checked professionals. We hire therapists who are not only knowledgeable and the best in their field, but also friendly and compassionate. At Ameribest Home Care, we have only one goal: to help you live your best life with our occupational therapy in Philadelphia!
How Do We Approach Occupational Therapy in Philadelphia?
Your occupational therapy begins with an initial meeting with an Occupational Therapist (OT). OTs are highly educated and specialized health professionals who work with you and your loved ones to enhance your quality of life by helping you complete daily tasks. Occupational therapy in Philadelphia will help you improve your functionality in everyday life situations.
For example, with occupational therapy Philadelphia residents can receive help in overcoming developmental, social, emotional, or physical challenges that make it difficult for them to function. OTs may instruct patients on techniques that help them eat, cook, clean, dress, or bathe.
Occupational therapy in Philadelphia also teaches patients how to effectively manage their conditions so they can live their best lives. After a thorough initial evaluation, we'll develop a plan of care for occupational therapy. Philadelphia patients will be able to complete their activities of daily living and experience a healthier life after attending sessions.
OTs also take a preventive approach to occupational therapy, as Philadelphia patients will develop coping strategies to deal with emotional or social changes in a healthy way. At Ameribest Home Care, we believe patients will be able to live happier lives with an emphasis on a healthy and active lifestyle.
Our occupational therapy services in Philadelphia begin with a comprehensive evaluation, and your therapist will develop a plan of care in accordance with your physician's recommendations. A plan of care uses evidence-based medicine to restore you to your highest possible level of functioning.
How Can Occupational Therapy in Philadelphia Help?
Rehabilitative exercises using specialized equipment. Occupational therapy in Philadelphia differs from physical therapy in that it focuses on activities such as bathing and dressing, which require fine motor coordination.
Feeding therapy. Certain developmental and medical conditions prevent some patients from chewing or enjoying a variety of foods. Our occupational therapy in Philadelphia helps patients overcome sensory and neurological hurdles in feeding therapy.
Effective coping strategies for sensory integration, emotional, or social issues.
Providing advice and supervision to friends and family with regard to occupational therapy treatment. Philadelphia area family members will benefit from observing how we treat their loved ones, so they can reinforce it at home.
In order to achieve the best outcomes in occupational therapy, Philadelphia family members must be involved in the process of rehabilitation. At Ameribest Home Care, we know that our patients have the best chance of living their most functional life when loved ones and caregivers can reinforce our exercises at home. That's why we familiarize friends and family with our rehabilitative procedures. You're an integral part of the recovery process, so feel free to ask us questions!
Flexible scheduling options. The best occupational therapy in Philadelphia works with your schedule, so you don't have to miss sessions.

The federal government will be reopened for at least three weeks, with President Donald Trump saying Friday afternoon that he'll sign a bill funding the government through Feb. 15.
As I have said all along, the obvious, necessary resolution is a compromise that improves border security – including physical barriers where they make sense – and delivers on some Democrat priorities, too.
The fact that it took this long is a recognition of President Trump's failed leadership.
Deeply relieved this shutdown will finally be over but this all could have been avoided - the damage to our economy, the severe anxiety of 100s of thousands of families and public servants & the danger we put our country in - by signing this funding 35 days ago.
"Today brings good news for America: after thirty-five days, our federal government will reopen.
"Over the last five weeks, America has undergone an entirely unnecessary trauma. Federal employees – including the people who protect us – have worked without pay. Essential federal services have been unavailable. Agencies that protect our financial security, airline safety – even our food and water – have been offline.
"After passing several House bills to reopen the government, I am relieved that the President has decided to end his shutdown and the suffering it has caused for our federal workers and their families.
"Now that this has come to an end, I am determined to ensure that it does not happen again. And I look forward to focusing on the many important issues that Americans sent us here to address.
I'm relieved that @POTUS has finally agreed to @HouseDemocrats' original proposal to reopen the government and negotiate. For 35 days, hardworking Americans suffered, not knowing when their next check would come. I am determined that they will not be hurt like this again.
"This is a positive thing. This is a win for the workers. It should NOT have taken 35 days and there should NOT be another shutdown. My understanding is the federal workers will get their back pay quickly, after the bill is signed into law.
"I'm fine with debating the most effective methods of border security AFTER the government is reopened. I would also note that there are other pressing issues besides border security and immigration reform, such as gun violence, health care, reducing poverty, and fixing our schools and other infrastructure.
Grateful to our federal employees who worked without pay throughout the #TrumpShutdown. Policy differences shouldn't be a reason to shut the government down - and this should never happen again. Now let's get back to our important work on behalf of the American people.
I commend the President for moving negotiations forward. Today's gesture will ensure federal workers can be paid while Congress continues to negotiate border protection and reforms to our immigration system.

Pogba determined to turn racist jeers into smiles of joy
Paul Pogba believes it is better to tackle racists by performing on the field. (Anthony Devlin/PA)
Paul Pogba believes the best way to combat racial abuse during games is to play well and smile.
The Manchester United and France midfielder has revealed he was abused by a supporter during his time playing in Italy with Juventus.
Racism has been high on the agenda in recent months with incidents involving the England national team, Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang among a number of high-profile instances.

There have been suggestions players should walk off the field in such circumstances but Pogba does not believe that is the best solution.
Speaking to LifeTimes, a new podcast series produced by The Times, the 26-year-old said: "It is really sad to see that on the football pitch.
"To do something like that is really low in 2019. You try to speak about it but it just carries on.
"If they're racist or ignorant, I don't know, or they just don't want you to perform well. I hear a lot of things but I don't react, I smile.
"You won't leave the pitch if you want to play. You play and try to score for your team, try to win and that's it. And life goes on and at the end, they will come after the game and they will ask for your picture."
Reflecting on his own experience with a fan in a game against Fiorentina, Pogba said: "He made some sound like, maybe, a monkey. I said, 'Why?' I just gave him my shirt and they were really happy, and then at the end they just applauded.
"I'm sad, not angry because I am happy with myself. I enjoy playing football, I enjoy giving smiles to people and that's it.
"That's all I need in life – be happy in yourself, be loved by people and don't think about people who hate, or people who are racist or ignorant, because they just want to pull you back."
Happy with another win, go team @ManUtd #mufc pic.twitter.com/TNEsOMJlC0
— Paul Pogba (@paulpogba) February 9, 2019
In an in-depth interview, Pogba also admitted it took him time to readjust to expectations of him following his then world-record £89million move back to United in 2016. Pogba had been an inexperienced youngster when he left United for Juve four years previously.
He said: "Because it was the biggest transfer in history at the time, you get judged differently. We expect more from you, I guess. You expect more because of the price tag.
"I think a good game will be (seen as) a normal game, a top game will be a good game."
Pogba insists he will not change his natural demeanour. (Martin Rickett/PA)
Pogba's on-field body language has been criticised during his time at United but he insists an apparent languid look is simply his style.
He said: "I always play like that. Thank God, I won trophies like that. I won the World Cup like that.
"Body language, haircut – all these things are just to speak because since I was a kid, I always play like this and it's not a problem.
"It's never a problem when we win. It's always a problem when we don't win, or we lose, or if I have a bad performance.
"When I win, when I score, make an assist, have good games, it is not a problem."

You are here: Home / Latest Updates / Puerto Rican governor and GOP members agree on statehood vote
Puerto Rican governor and GOP members agree on statehood vote
November 28, 2018 By Latinovations Staff
The Republican leaders of the House Natural Resources Committee yesterday called on Puerto Rico to hold a new vote on statehood.
Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló (D) tweeted a letter dated Monday, signed by four top Republicans on the House panel, which oversees territorial affairs. "We are ready for a binding process, endorsed by the federal government, that puts an end to more than 100 years of colonial status through a yes/no statehood vote," said Rosselló.
The letter recognizes the validity of two previous statehood plebiscites, in 2012 and 2017, and blames the Department of Justice (DOJ) for the nonbinding effects of the 2017 process. "The inability of the DOJ to provide a timely blessing of the 2017 vote has allowed its opponents to contest its results," wrote the Republicans, led by Natural Resources Committee Chairman Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah).
Bishop was joined by fellow Republicans Rep. Don Young (Alaska), the chairman emeritus of the panel; Doug LaMalfa (Calif.), head of the Indian, Insular and Alaska Native Affairs Subcommittee; and Puerto Rico Resident Commissioner Jenniffer González-Colón. The letter represents the most explicit acceptance of the 2017 plebiscite's results, where 97 percent of voters picked statehood.
The plebiscite was considered nonbinding, as the Department of Justice requested changes to the ballots initially presented by Rosselló. Rosselló's administration made changes suggested by the DOJ, but refused to change the date of the plebiscite to allow the feds time to review the new ballot.
That ballot included a three-part question, meant to level the playing field between statehood, independence or maintaining Puerto Rico's status as a free-associated state. Although Rosselló and other pro-statehood Puerto Rican officials have based their claim on statehood on the 2017 plebiscite, the governor seemed open to the suggestion in the letter, advanced by his ally in the statehood fight, González-Colón.
"We will do our part and the federal government must do its part. Our priority is to end the colony, fulfilling the wish of a people who has chosen statehood on two occasions in the last seven years," Rossello tweeted in Spanish.

London cheese, check out Wilde's Urban Cheese http://wildescheese.co.uk/. Will have a nosey at your event and be in touch. p.s If it's secret how do I know you won't kill me?

Thanks for stopping by, Emma, and glad you like it here:) I have heard good things of Cartmel Cheeses. And I know what you mean about having the credit cards confiscated; I went to Borough Market and Neal's Yard Dairy last week but only allowed myself a set sum! Thanks for the recommendations. I've tried Ogleshield in a fondue! It has the perfect consistency – the producer makes raclettes with it. Have also tried Coolea – so sweet, a really easy-eating cheese and, yes, I agree it would be good in a fondue. I've heard of Little Anne but haven't tried it yet (I've tracked down a local supplier though!) Was it good? Do stop by again, I always love a cheesy chat and especially a recommendation.
Gosh, thank you, that is very kind. It's always lovely to know someone out there's reading!
Wow, it seems to me that you are already both a connoisseur and a "fancier." Looking forward to following your blog!
I am really onto cheese! My friend (Baldwynn) told me about it 7 years ago and ever since then I have come to love it all the more. My 3 favourites are Chedar, Emmentall, Mozeralla and Brie. What I like the most are the different textures and tastes that can be had through the cheeses that I buy. Often the ones that are in prepacked slices are not as good as that whole ones. I ALWAYS buy the most expensive that I can (Asda or Tesco) and I try to have them with a toast and sometimes jam with honey after work. Can I buy some of them of you as they look SO GOOD.! You're photos and words are brilliant and I would love to take some that good as you sometime. Can I please send you some of my first trys with my old favourite cheeses? I write some of the newsletter at work and everyone says that its their best bit! Anyway hope to hear soon…..
Hi Terry, Always good to hear from other cheese lovers. You can buy some interesting cheeses in supermarkets these days – especially if you go to the deli counter (and then you can buy as little or as much as you want too!) Happy to hear about the cheeses you like.

My mrs only likes me to have spam but I have put my foot down and i give her the name of the cheese i want on saturday before she goes to lidls so she can get me it.

Thanks for keeping the cheesey flame burning bright.
Hi Eveyone. Terry here. I have been busy eating all the cheese that I can recently. There was a little festival in Blackwood in ASDA car park where the manager put out a table with 8 cheese on and people tried them! It was very sucessfull but it was raining really hard (surprise)! so it wasnt very busy. anyway the manager decided to get them to pack it up early and as i had been there for 3 hours in the rain he said that i could take the leftovers home as they wouldnt be able to sell them now! wow! So in my frid I have a big plate with whats left of my 8 cheeses. The best two are a very salty stillton and a edam but the manager said that it was 'old' but i think that either it was supposed to be or it was just a bit old but it is orange and crunchy (is that ok)? I dont have much left now after as the festival was three weeks ago now but there is a bit of canadian chedder which has been in many of my lunches while ive been helping at the old peoples home. The manager said that I should try other foods too but at the moment i have just beenbuying breads and more cheese. I watched a programme ages ago where someone only ate cheese and onion crisps for EVER and they looked pretty good so it cant be that bad!!!
I've just discovered your blog thanks to Mrs. Portly's Kitchen. I might share you with a few friends in France who cling to the belief that we only do cheddar, preferably orange and shrink-wrapped, here in the UK.
And can you Please tell me where to buy philadelphia cream cheese in swansea as i am going there soon. or I could take my own. All i have eaten all week is cream cheese (is it actually cheese?)!
GR8! Getting on the bus in in one hour. maybenext time i will take a bus to philadelphia in america!!


Corruption Watch, in response to the news today that Brian Molefe will be reinstated as CEO of Eskom from Monday 15 May, has expressed outrage at his return to his former position from which he resigned in November 2016.
In spite of attempts to now position his departure as early retirement, at no point at that time was it stated that Molefe was retiring from his post, but that he was resigning in the interests of "good governance", in the wake of the findings of the Public Protector's State of Capture report.
Corruption Watch has written to the chairperson of the Eskom Board, Ben Ngubane, and copied the minister of public enterprises Lynne Brown, condemning this decision and demanding copies of correspondence between Ngubane, Molefe and Minister Brown that pertains to this decision. We are considering our legal options in relation to the board's decision.
Following the evidence contained in the Public Protector's State of Capture report, Corruption Watch has been actively considering an application to have all the members of the Eskom board, including both Ngubane and Molefe, who were in place at the time of the controversial coal contract with Tegeta Resources, declared delinquent and barred from serving on company boards. It was the conduct of Molefe and the board in relation to this contract that formed the basis of the Public Protector's finding that a judicial commission of enquiry be appointed. A recent report by auditors, PwC, has found that the board and the executive management flouted procurement rules and the Public Finance Management Act in order to favour the Gupta-owned Tegeta Resources.

Would you quit your current position at your place of work to venture out on your own? If so, would you consider yourself to have acquired all the skills and expertise necessary to be successful? According to Samuel, a champion farmer of the Trees for Food Security (T4FS) Project, it was about time he developed his own tree nursery. Having worked as a casual for the Elgon Trust Women Group under T4FS, Samuel used to pot seedlings, maintain the tree nursery as well as collect tree seeds. The returns were however not as good compared to the benefits enjoyed by his employers.
Samuel therefore resolved to quit his job and start his own nursery, banking on the knowledge and skills he acquired over the years. One main hurdle however, potting tubes, stood in his way as they are quite expensive. This however did not deter him from making the bold move. Instead, Samuel would set out on specific days, go around restaurants and bars in the area, to collect milk and beer sachets, which he would use as potting materials. With this innovation and the support of his wife, Samuel was off to a good start on his own.
Acquiring tree seeds was not a big challenge as Samuel had already spotted mature trees in the area. Through past experiences working for the group, Samuel was able to monitor seed maturity period and this would help him plan as to when and how he would collect the seeds. He would therefore move around the community, climb the trees and harvest the seeds.
In order to improve and increase the survival rates of his Eucalyptus seedlings, Samuel introduced a technique where he would place dry banana leaves over a nursery soil mixture and burn to provide a covering for the nursery beds. This innovation greatly improves the germination and performance of his seedlings. The Trees for Food Security Project has also built my capacity in tree seed collection and maintaining nursery records.
In a year, Samuel highlighted that he makes between UGX 500,000 (USD 152) and UGX 1 million (USD 303), depending on the season and orders he receives from projects and local organizations. Pests have however been a challenge as this affects the number of seedlings ready for sale.
Noting his efforts and interests, the Trees for Food Security Project came in to support Samuel by providing the polythene tubes. "I have four children whom I enrolled in a private school which is way more expensive than public schools and I haven't lacked fees to support them. I also use the proceeds from to purchase household items and sustain my family's needs. I owe my success to knowledge and skills got from the Elgon Trust Women Group and additional skills and support from the Trees for Food Security Project," stated Samuel.

It's always interesting following an intense weekend of hockey to take a look at some of the metrics and other factors that had an effect of the weekends results.
The Huskies have two players who are natives of Grand Forks, North Dakota. Junior defenseman Jon Lizotte and junior forward Jacob Benson both grew up with the Fighting Hawks the prominent sports team in the area. Austin Poganski, a senior forward and captain of the North Dakota squad grew up watching the Huskies and played his high school hockey at St. Cloud Cathedral. They had mixed results during this past weekend. Poganski was kept off the score sheet both nights although he captured a turnover and rang one off the post on Friday. Jon Lizotte had a productive night on Saturday picking up two assists for the Huskies. Jacob Benson also hit the score sheet Saturday threading a pass to Mikey Eyssimont who dangled an NHL style goal for one of his two goals in the 3-1 Saturday victory.
We heard a lot from the North Dakota media prior to the series about the prominence of the North Dakota faceoff statistics. Entering the series the Fighting Hawks were 57% on faceoffs – apparently the best mark since College Hockey Inc has been keeping the stat. Forward Johnny Simonson led the squad with a 62.2 winning percentage on faceoffs and Nick Jones was close behind at 61.6%. The Huskies, not too shabby in their own right entered the series with a 55.3 percentage in the faceoff circle. It turns out the Huskies won the battle of faceoffs over the series winning 58 of 114 or nearly 51%. Simonson had a particularly tough weekend in the faceoff circle winning only 9 of 25 for a 36% success rate. Nick Jones fared much better winning 19 of 36 faceoffs for a 52.7% success ratio. The Huskies Blake Lizotte had an outstanding weekend on the draw winning 10 of 12 on Friday and 5 of 9 on Saturday for a weekend percentage of 71.4%.
It appeared the Huskies spent a lot of time in the North Dakota zone in the first period of Saturday's game. I therefore went back and calculated they had nearly nine minutes of O-Zone time in the first period. Not knowing if statistics are even kept for that type of thing I can't tell you how typical that is. However considering it was nearly half the first period I'd think it's a substantial metric. Things were not quite as successful the final two periods with offensive zone possession about five minutes in period two and again about five minutes in period three. Obviously a good offensive push is a good defensive strategy.
The Fighting Hawks had 84 total shot attempts on Saturday vs the Huskies 41. It obviously required the Huskies to get in front of a lot of those shot attempts and they did just that blocking a total of 30 shots on Saturday. Certainly it paid a big role in shutting down Grade A opportunities for North Dakota and ultimately helping David Hrenak limit UND to one goal on the evening.
Speaking of shots on goal, Easton Brodzinski had 11 total shot attempts on Friday followed by Jimmy Schuldt with 8 and UND's Rhett Gardner with 7.
What we saw from North Dakota this past weekend was a different sort of team. In the past several years the program had elite scorers such as Brock Boesser, Tyson Jost and Drake Caggiula to rely on for the bulk of their offense. This years squad still has a potent scorer in Shane Gersich but is definitely a much more defensive oriented, gritty team deriving success from strong goaltending, a stifling defense and strong penalty killing. It certainly allowed them to escape with an extra league point on Friday shutting down the Huskies potent power play on all six opportunities. The roles are reversed this season with the Huskies the more skilled and offensive oriented team of the two. It'll be interesting to see the matchup in March in Grand Forks and to see how both teams progress to that last regular season series of the season.
First-year goaltender David Hrenak is making it very difficult to keep him out of the lineup. He's allowed one goal in his last two outings and has stopped 74 of 75 shots on goal. It's improved his goaltending statistics to a 1.82 GAA and a .947 SV% – simply outstanding numbers.
The Huskies return to action on December 29 and 30th as they travel to Princeton NJ to face Princeton University in a non-conference series. Their next home game is on January 6 vs he University of Minnesota. They finish calendar year 2017 in first place in the NCHC, #1 in the USCHO rankings and #1 in both the PAIRWISE and KRACH rankings with the second toughest schedule in college hockey. You could not have expected a better result.


The quality of the air we breathe and our health do have a definite relationship. Naturally, breathing dangerous or contaminated air increases our chances of getting ill. Luckily speaking, the indoor air quality can easily be maintained and optimized with the help of a few simple steps and using our service in one such solution.
Many of our clients are surprised at the kind of debris that can be found in their ventilation system. Heating and a/c systems are excellent of course for keeping our homes cool or warm, and we do have enough sophisticated equipment available these days to achieve this with high efficiency. However, the inside health and hygiene of an HVAC system`s air transporting pathways remain a huge question. We just cannot access such confined areas. But the small and fine dust particles enters these ducts quickly along with the air. Some of this dust remains settled inside the vents. Thus, with as time goes by and the addition of moisture; a solid scale starts building. Apart from this, there is something even more dangerous. The continuous rotation of dust and recirculation of dust and micro size impurities is not good for us. Our lungs won't like this stuff at all. So, we have to be very careful about the quality of air circulating within our indoors.
What's the perfect solution? Give us a call! Let us speak something about the therapeutic options. The service Ducts r Us offers is one of the simplest yet the most effective method when it comes to the indoor air quality management. We are a well-known air duct & vent cleaning firm. We are available in Evanston and dozens of other cities. We do have state of the art equipment available that is suitable for handling almost every kind of impurity and buildups inside your air ducts.

Jijé (pseudonym för Joseph Gillain), född 13 januari 1914 i Gedinne i Belgien, död 20 juni 1980 i Versailles i Frankrike, var en belgisk serieskapare. Han var en av de stora pionjärerna inom den fransk-belgiska tecknade serietraditionen. Mest känd är han kanske för sin tid på serierna Spirou (1940-1946) och Jaktfalkarna (1968-1980) samt de egna skapelserna äventyrsserien Valhardi och westernserien Jerry Spring.

Under 1940-talet, när importen av amerikanska serier till Belgien var marginaliserad på grund av andra världskriget, etablerades Jijé som en av de främsta inhemska serieskaparna. Som mentor för de något yngre Franquin, Morris, och Will producerade han basen för serieutbudet i den ledande serietidningen Spirou. De fyra arbetade tillsammans i Jijés studio och kom att gå under beteckningen "La bande à 4" ("De fyras gäng"). Tillsammans gav de upphov till "Marcinelleskolan", som, jämte Hergés "Bryssel-skola", är den serietecknartradition som huvudsakligen präglat de franskbelgiska seriernas 1900-tal.

1975 tilldelades Jijé Belgiens stora seriepris Grand Prix Saint-Michel. Detta följdes av Nederländernas Stripschapprijs 1976 och det franska Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoulême 1977.

Jijé på svenska
Jijé är ganska styvmoderligt behandlad i Sverige, men Jerry Spring trycktes i svart-vitt i Western-Serier, flera av hans tidiga Spirou-serier finns översatta i samlingsalbumet "Spirou 1938-1946", och det gavs i övrigt ut ett album med "Jaktfalkarna" från hans penna.

Grå tofsmes (Lophophanes dichrous) är en fågel i familjen mesar inom ordningen tättingar, en asiatisk systerart till den europeiska tofsmesen.

Utseende
Grå tofsmes är en 12 centimeter lång fågel. Den har grå tofs och grå ovansida, ett vitaktigt halsband och orangebeige undersida.

Utbredning och systematik
Grå tofsmes förekommer från Kashmir till södra Kina och delas upp i fyra underarter med följande utbredning:
 Lophophanes dichrous kangrae – förekommer i barrskogar från Kashmir till norra Indien (Uttar Pradesh)
 Lophophanes dichrous dichrous – barrskogar från västra Nepal till Arunachal Pradesh och södra Tibet
 Lophophanes dichrous dichroides – nordöstra Tibet till sydvästra Kina (norra Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu och Shaanxi)
 Lophophanes dichrous wellsi – nordöstra Myanmar och södra Kina (västra Sichuan och nordvästra Yunnan)

Vissa erkänner även underarten izzardi med utbredning från östra Nepal till sydvästra Kina (sydöstra Xizang).

Släktestillhörighet
Tofsmesarna placerades tidigare i släktet Parus, men detta har delats upp i ett antal mindre släkten efter genetiska studier.

Levnadssätt
Grå tofsmes förekommer i löv- och blandskog mellan 2000 och 4240 meters höjd, i Himalaya med ek och rhododendron. Den livnär sig mest av ryggradslösa djur och larver. Fågeln är rätt skygg och diskret, och ses i par eller små grupper. Den häckar från april till åtminstone juni och bygger ett bo av mossa, djurhår och fjädrar tre till sju meter ovan mark i ett trädhål. Arten är stannfågel eller kortflyttare i höjdled.

Status och hot
Arten har ett stort utbredningsområde med stabil populationsutveckling. Utifrån dessa kriterier kategoriserar IUCN arten som livskraftig (LC). Världspopulationen är inte uppskattad men rapporteras vara vanlig i östra Himalaya, ovanlig i västra Himalaya, sydöstra Tibet och sydvästra Kina men väldigt talrik i norra Sichuan.

A joint survey conducted in 2016, by American Telemedicine Association (ATA) and WEGO Health, to understand patient's perspective on the use of video telemedicine, revealed that consumers are more interested in using telehealth as a replacement or complement technique for in-person patient care. Video conferencing in healthcare reduces re-hospitalization by extending care at home, delivers video-audio consultation, provides easy-to-use interface and reduce travel time and associated costs. In addition, video telemedicine improves efficiency by clear content sharing and facilitating more participant to engage into discussion.
Video telemedicine for treating patients is important aspects of telemedicine facility, which facilitates reliable quality and clinical efficiency to in-home care, acute care and ambulatory care. Telehealth continue to gain importance in healthcare industry. Patients are realizing the value of virtual care options and substituting it for in-patient care option. Telemedicine extends the healthcare solutions to the rural patients and to the patients living in the remote location areas, which increases accessibility to care at lower costs. Healthcare professionals and independent physicians increasingly use telemedicine application and software services to video conference with patients, when they lack infrastructure for in-house patient care. The 2017 U.S. Telemedicine Industry Benchmark Survey conducted by REACH Health, among physicians, healthcare executives, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in the U.S. found that telemedicine continues to evolve from specialty service to mainstream service. Also, 94% of participants choose video conferencing feature (integrated audio and video for live patient engagement) and found it the most valuable tool in telemedicine platform service.
More than half of patients surveyed by the Health Industry Distributors Association (HIDA), in 2016, were more satisfied receiving telehealth service, and 54% said that the experience was better than traditional physician clinic visit. Moreover, more than half of the survey respondents learned about telehealth from their physicians rather than telemedicine service provider. Moreover, the physician and consulting healthcare professionals are an important link to provide telemedicine services to the patients, thereby to increase growth of the video telemedicine market in near future.
An increasing need for delivering healthcare services to rising geriatric population, growing dearth of physicians and increasing chronic disease incidence facilitates the growth of video telemedicine market. Moreover, increasing adaptation of mobile, smartphone and tablet into healthcare IT segment facilitating technology penetration and incorporation of big data to allow more efficient, more effective and improved operational efficiency in telemedicine services, further helps to boost the video telemedicine market, in near future.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 17.7 million people died from cardiovascular diseases in 2015, representing 31% of all global deaths. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease, accounting for 3 million deaths in 2015, according to the same source. The 2016 Physician Supply and Demand Report, released by Association of American Medical College (AAMC), projects the significant physician shortfall, in the U.S. between 2014 and 2025, which is ranges between 61,700 and 94,700.
However, to generate good future prospects for video telemedicine market, robust network, need of technological expert and necessary communication infrastructure is a critical requirement, and act as restraints in the growth of video telemedicine market, especially in underdeveloped economies. Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) made request in 2017 U.S. Congressional Asks, to pass the Creating Opportunities Now for Necessary and Effective Care Technologies (CONNECT) for Health Act. The act is intended to significantly remove hurdles to telemedicine expansion in Medicare, by allowing more telehealth experiments using alternate payment models and incentive programs. The HIMSS aims to increase funding for broadband expansion in rural areas through this step.
According to the study published in Neurology Journal, in April 2017, video telemedicine is expected to become a new tool to improve care for people suffering from Parkinson's disease and essentially for those patients who do not have easy access to a neurologist. Moreover, the study finding shows that video telemedicine for chronic disease such as Parkinson's disease is more effective than in-patient care. In addition, the broader adaptation of technology has a potential to expand the access to patient-centered care facilities.
Some of the key players operating in the video telemedicine market are Huawei technologies Co. Ltd., Polycom Inc., Vidyo Inc., Adobe Systems Incorporated, Cisco Systems, Inc., Avaya Inc., ZTE Corporation, West Corporation and Microsoft Corporation.

Legendary Sogdiana (Sogdia) was a historical region in the middle section of the Zeravshan River valley, which is currently occupied by two countries - Tajikistan (present-day Sughd Region) and Uzbekistan (most of Samarkand Region). Sogdia was known from a very ancient past, and the earliest written source it is mentioned in is the Avesta, the holy book of the Zoroastrians.
