Immunopathophysiology
English Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a T-cell mediated, inflammatory liver disease affecting all ages and characterized by female preponderance, elevated serum transaminase and immunoglobulin G levels, positive circulating autoantibodies, and presence of interface hepatitis at liver histology. AIH type 1, affecting both adults and children, is defined by positive anti- nuclear and/or antismooth muscle antibodies, while type 2 AIH, affecting mostly children, is defined by positive anti-liver- kidney microsomal type 1 and/or anti-liver cytosol type 1 antibody. While the autoantigens of type 2 AIH are well defined, being the cytochrome P4502D6 (CYP2D6) and the formiminotransferase cyclodeaminase (FTCD), in type 1 AIH they remain to be identified. AIH-1 predisposition is conferred by possession of the MHC class II HLA DRB1*03 at all ages, while DRB1*04 predisposes to late onset disease; AIH-2 is associated with possession of DRB1*07 and DRB1*03. The majority of patients responds well to standard immunosuppressive treatment, based on steroid and azathioprine; second- and third-line drugs should be considered in case of intolerance or insufficient response. This review offers a comprehensive overview of pathophysiological and clinical aspects of AIH.

Q: What is the solution to $n_{i}=(e^{-x})\frac{dn_{i-1}}{dx}$ for i=0,1,2,...? Given the recursion relationship $n_{i+1}=(e^{-x})\frac{dn_{i}}{dx}$ for $i=0,1,2,\ldots,$ where $n_{0}$ is a known function of $x$, what is the solution to $n_{k}$ in terms of $x$ and the derivatives of $n_{0}$, where $k$ is any positive integer?
Re what I've tried, things simplify a bit if I express $n_0$ as $n_0=e^{y}$ and look for the solution in terms of the derivatives of $y$ (which may be expressed in terms of $x$, $n_0$, and the derivatives of $n_0$ as required by the question). We have then,
$n_1=e^{y-x}\frac{dy}{dx}$
$n_{2}=e^{y-2x}\left(  \frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}+\left(  \frac{dy}{dx}\right)^{2}-\frac{dy}{dx}\right)$
$n_{3}=e^{y-3x}\left(  \frac{d^{3}y}{dx^{3}}+3\frac{dy}{dx}\frac{d^{2}%
y}{dx^{2}}+\left(  \frac{dy}{dx}\right)  ^{3}-3\left(  \frac{dy}{dx}\right)
^{2}-3\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}+2\frac{dy}{dx}\right)  $
This gives a feel for where things are headed. The solution comes down to figuring out the integer coefficients of all the resultant derivatives and products of derivatives.

A: I will solve the slightly more general recurrence problem
$$n_k=e^{\lambda x}\frac{d}{dx}n_{k-1}$$
Denote $f(x):=e^{\lambda x}, D:=d/dx$ for brevity. Clearly,  $Df=\lambda f$ for exponentials are eigenfunctions of the derivative operator. By induction, it can be easily shown that the solution to the recurrence takes the form
$$n_k(x)=f^k(x)\lambda^k~ \left[\Omega_k \left(\frac{D}{\lambda}\right)\right]n_0(x)$$
where $\Omega_k$ are polynomials of degree $k$. The quantity in brackets is a finite sum of powers of the derivative operator, and hence well defined. To generate a recurrence for these polynomials, act with $fD$ on both sides of the equation and reuse it for the $k+1$-th term of the recurrence to obtain the very simple formula
$$\Omega_{k+1}(x)=(x+k)\Omega_k(x)$$
which is solved by the family of polynomials given by the rising factorial:
$$\Omega_k(x)=x^{(k)}=\prod_{m=1}^{k-1}(x+m)=\sum_{m=0}^k(-1)^{k-m}s(k,m)x^m$$
where $s(k,m)$ denote the Stirling numbers of the first kind. The coefficients in your expansion are proportional to them. More precisely, for $\lambda=-1$, it is seen that
$$n_k(x)=e^{-kx}\sum_{m=0}^k s(k,m)\frac{d^m}{dx^m}n_0(x)$$
and this concludes the analysis.

Police are investigating a physical altercation between a cyclist and the driver of a red SUV that occured Thursday evening at the intersection of South Bellefield and Fifth avenues.
A video filmed at the scene by a man identified as Matt Hajduk, 26, shows the SUV driver, having already exited his vehicle, throwing the cyclist in the adjoining lane to the ground. The cyclist then stands up and the two men begin shouting at each other.
The SUV driver then picks up the cyclist's bike and throws it at him, striking him with it. Before and during this action, Hajduk filmed the SUV's license plate number and repeated it out loud twice.
The video goes dark for a few seconds but then shows that the cyclist got back on his bike. It ends with Hajduk calling the cyclist over and confirming that the man is alright, and then asking what he wants Hajduk to do with the video. The cyclist's face is not filmed.
No one involved filed a report, but Pittsburgh Police are investigating the incident, according to a press release.

The Picture of Calgary: "LOCAL"
Submitted by patti on Sat, 11/02/2013 - 11:57
"Local: characterized by or relating to position in space."
"Locale: the place where something happens, the place where a story happens."
I've been thinking about the words "local" and "locale" lately because our host for The Picture of Happiness shows in Calgary was Mariette Sluyter, actor and community activist for responsible leadership not only in her own city but as a TED-Talks speaker across Canada.
In addition to Brad's family, and Brad's and Rae's old friends from school days in Calgary, at each of our four shows we found ourselves surrounded by the people whom Mariette and her husband - the wise and wonderful Brian Padlewski - have attracted to their lives. The Padlewski-Sluyter home is a place "where stories happen".
So what makes this couple - and their "locale", that is, the place they call "home" - so magical?
From my spot on the piano bench, listening to Brad tell his extraordinary story of family and secrets, I could see and hear actors, directors, UofC theatre department faculty and Leadership Calgary contacts laughing, gasping, encouraging, whispering "can you pass me that box of Kleenex" … all of them there because Mariette and Brian had said, "Come, this story is important". Most of the people in the room were there based solely on a Sluyter/Padlewski endorsement; they knew if they had received the invitation for The Picture of Happiness (essentially "pop-up theatre") from Mariette and Brian, that the evening would challenge and entertain them.
Grant Reddick, Rae Ellen Bodie and Patricia Benedict
From my spot on the back deck, watching Brian prepare a Hutterite-bred brisket for a 16-hour slow cook on the grill (a.k.a. "The Avocado of Awesomeness"), I could hear the wind in the few leaves that were still clinging to the trees. The leaves of an aspen tree make a very specific sound, it's a different "aural landscape" from that of my oak-treed backyard in Toronto. When I remarked on the rustling of the leaves, Brian told me that the Latin name for the aspens that grow in Calgary is 'Populus tremuloides', literally 'Trembling Aspen'.
Brian Padlewski prepares the barbecue, a.k.a. "The Avacado of Awesomeness", for a 16 hour slow-cooked, organic brisket grill.
From my spot on a stool at the island in the kitchen, watching while Mariette pulled home-canned beets and applesauce from her well-stocked pantry, I learned about the efforts and rewards in growing and sourcing produce and meat locally from growers who have integrity. It's not enough just to buy the goods, it's important to know "the how" and "the why" of a locavore lifestyle. Mariette knows the farmers at the markets we visited; she knows how they have raised their beef, where they have grown the apples and potatoes, where the restaurants that claim to be "locavores" and "organic" have sourced their ingredients.
Rae Ellen Bodie, Patti, Mariette Sluyter, Diane Wallis (Brad's mum), and Brad, at "Farm Restaurant".
From my spot on the couch – espresso in hand in the morning, Shiraz in hand after our shows – I learned about Mariette's work, locally with Leadership Calgary, and nationally with Michaelle Jean's Power of the Arts National Forum. The concept of "advancing social change" can be esoteric, daunting - scary even - but Mariette is passionate, not just in the theatre environment but also in her own city, and in our nation.
As Calgarians, Edmontonians, Winnipeggers, Torontonians, we have geographically specific "locales".
But as humans who share this planet, we have a larger "position in space".
I think Mariette says it best:
"After having many people in my home, some old friends, some new friends, I am reminded of the idea that we are all braver because of each other. I may only be brave in some areas, others have strengths that I could never fathom and that is what is important about us each stepping up when called. BUT we can only step up if we prepare ourselves to be brave every day. My bravery often stems from knowing there is no other option in order for us to collectively move forward.
We are stronger together."
So, there you have it. No magic necessary: Mariette and Brian's "locale" is a place where strong stories happen. I was honoured to share their place, their space, and their time with them.
Mariette and me - and our Smarty Girl glasses.

A month ago, I started this crazy adventure and in that month, I've made 15 cupcakes and 6 cakes. Seems like a good start to me! Then again, didn't we just ring in the new year last week? Sometimes I find it hard to believe how quickly time goes by.
Last weekend, I delivered a cake to a friend of mine whose husband was turning 40 and it made me think : I have a friend whose husband is 40 years old. Earlier that week, a co-worker and good friend of mine turned 42 years old. I have friends who are in their forties. What does that tell you about me? I'm almost forty. Ok, so not quite, but still…it's closer than I'd like to admit.
I remember panicking a little when I turned 35 years old. I shouldn't have been surprised since it had happened to me with all of my other milestone birthdays. But this time, I was having a hard time figuring out exactly what was bothering me. So many thoughts and questions were humming through my head, the biggest one being "Am I where I thought I'd be at this point in my life?" And the answer was…."I have no idea!" At that moment, Karmic Sweets wasn't even in my realm of possibilities. I was on a quest that I'd felt had begun when I'd turned 33 years old. I felt like I was at a fork in the road, but I didn't know which road to choose since I didn't know where each road ended. I felt lost and confused. Even though I knew something big was coming, I had no idea what it was.
Over that period of time, I read countless books, blogs and articles on finding your life purpose. I meditated, took up yoga, watched as many travel shows, home improvement shows and movies that I could thinking that it would help guide me. I talked to friends, colleagues and even a medium. I tried acupuncture and even started running again even though I had vowed the previous summer to never run again, but still no answers.
I kept reading all of these articles where everyone had figured out their life purpose and even created their dream jobs, but no one could tell me exactly how to do it. I was getting frustrated. I even had a deck of inspirational cards with positive thoughts on them that I used every day. Essentially, you choose one card a day from the deck and the card's purpose is to help guide you. Even though there are 64 cards in the deck, I'd get the same one at least twice a week : "The perfect job is looking for me and we are being brought together now". Really universe? Really?
Then one day, it hit me. Why do I trust the universe with so many little things, but not the big things? I have said many times how I believe everything happens for a reason and have been proven this time and time again, so why couldn't I just let go and let the universe take care of all of it for me? I blame the aforementioned milestone birthday. Those always have a way of putting pressure on you without even realising it.
So after coming to this realisation, I chose to take a breath. I went for a two hour walk on a nature trail near my house and vowed to empty my head. No music either. Just me and nature. And by the time I got home, I felt amazing. I'd love to tell you that I had an epiphany on the trail or that something amazing happened, but apparently, all I needed was to clear my head of all those thoughts. After all, age is just a number right?
Slowly, I discovered baking blogs and baking shows and I started experimenting with my mother and grandmother's recipes. I fell in love with being in the kitchen again, a feeling that I hadn't felt in a long time. I love baking and I've realised today that I love trying to create my own recipes even more (stay tuned for a crazy banana bread recipe coming soon..I hope! It's in the oven right now!) I'm still not sure where this road will lead me, but I know that I'm on the right one.
You never know where life will take you and isn't it exciting? On my 35th birthday, I was able to put things into perspective by realising that I was still 5 years away from 40 and that in 5 years, there was a lot that I could accomplish. Two years later, my brain is constantly flooded with thoughts and ideas of cakes and cupcakes. I literally dream of cake! How lucky am I? I had no idea this is where life would lead me and it took awhile to get here, but it's wonderful.
I've always loved celebrating my birthday and I always will. I truly hope that I will never again let my age define what I should be doing or where I should be in my life. I tend to go bigger on milestone birthdays, but all other birthdays are just as important. For example, we've already planned what we'll be doing on my husband's fortieth (which is sooner than mine!) and I can't wait : Disney World, here we come! You see, growing older is inevitable. Growing up is optional.

Led by utility veterans, 20-year-old Fuel Tech has spent years carving a niche in the multi-billion-dollar market for clean-air technologies The company has installed its systems on more than 450 units worldwide.
During the second quarter conference call, Fuel Tech's Chief Executive John Norris promised an "exceptional" fourth quarter. This will no doubt be helped by more stringent air-pollution regulations, which are expected to spur power plants and utilities to turn to companies such as Fuel Tech to help cut noxious emissions beginning next year.

So a while ago I posted about some gingerbread book characters I made and posted on a window in my library and called Ginger-Who? Well, I decided to do that again…only I wanted to do snowmen characters. And this time I did this game in the children's area.
First I came up with a list of characters I thought would be fun to make into snowmen (or women or pigeons or cats or caterpillars, you know what I mean).
Then I made the fun characters. Here they are.
Cat in the Hat Snow-Cat.
Little Red Riding Hood Snowwoman.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar Snow-Caterpillar.
The Wicked Witch of the West Snowwoman.
Seriously, did I tell you all how cool my job is? Because I get to do fun things like this! Happy Day!


OK, with 200gr xtp's I started at 27grs w296 I have progressed to 29grs, I still cannot get the bolt to lock back on a empty mag. Accuracy is great, some old data that I have found shows 30-32grs of w296 to be OK for the AMP, the data is from Jurras/Nonte articles, the major manuf. load manuals show 27grs to be max. So I want to make sure that 30-32grs is OK to go with. It's not like I don't trust the data I just want to make sure there are no editorial typos, and I don't want to damage the gun needlessly.
Go to Ian's AMY webiste, he has posted some reloading data from old Horandy and Sierra manuals.
For what it's worth, mine works fine in the range you are using : WW296 26-28 grs.
My Pasadena doesn't stop hiccupping until @ 30g-31g H110(296),Starline brass,200g XTP,CCI 350. Work up slowly, stiff-arm that bad boy and let her rip.
Good enuf, I ain't skeered. Just don't want to break my new toy.
Bump up to 29.5 and 30grs and let'er buck. Accuracy has been everything I've heard and read about.
Quite a few years ago I had one of my mags (original stainless) TIG welded I believe. If they are stainless they might be able to be repaired. I can't recall(CRS) at the moment who I had do the work, but they did a decent job without warping anything. I'll dig around in my stuff to see if I still have a receipt. I'll get back to you.
AMY is a typo, he ment Ian's AMT page.
I'm finally getting back to you on your cracked magazines. I had my mag. repaired in 2003 by "Cylinder-Slide.com". The person I communicated with was Ralph. The charge for repairing one magazine (mine,floorplate broke off the body) was around $20.00 + shipping with a 2 week turnaround. I hope this helps you & whoever else might need repairs to 44amp. magazines.
That was the exact problem I had with my first AM. It would not cycle reliably and I tried a bunch or loads (different bullets and powders and loads) and got no where as I did not know the gun was actually broken.
The top "ear" was broken on the rear of the bolt and the piece was floating in the cocking piece and probably jamming the action.
Heed LEJ's words of wisdom, he speaks volumes about such matters. Not sure I agree with his guidance on adult beverages, but I'm willing to buy a couple bottles and discuss the matter during a "sampling" session.

Q: How to map NHibernate bag with a case-insensitive key When I attempt to load an entity that has a child entity mapped as a bag, and the key between the child entity and the parent is a string, the resulting bag will not be populated if the key's case does not match the parent's ID property.
If Office.ID == "MyOffice" and PromotionalContent.ContextKey == "myoffice", the collection does NOT load the promotions, even though NHProfiler shows that it was returned by the database.
If Office.ID == "MyOffice" and *PromotionalContent.ContextKey == "MyOffice", the collection DOES load.
    <class name="Office" table="Office" lazy="true">
        <id name="ID" column="OfficeNum">
            <generator class="assigned" />
        </id>
      <property name="Name" column="OfficeName" />
      <property name="PhoneNumber" column="PhoneNum" />
      <bag name="Promotions" lazy="true" where="ContextType='Office'"  >
        <key column="ContextKey"/>
        <one-to-many  class="PromotionalContent"/>
      </bag>...

This is NHibernate version 4.0.3.
How can I map it, or fix it so that it always loads regardless of case?

A: After a few days trying to solve the problem using event listeners, debugging , turns out there is a bug in NHibernate.
I was able to solve the problem by changing the actual NHibernate source, rebuilding and relinking.
The technique I used leaves the actually entity keys untouched, which therefore preserves the case as it was when it came from or went into the database.
When NHibernate loads an entity, a "key" is created that is basically just a marker that is stored and tested in an IDictionary<> that represents the session or a cache of entities and their related, dependent collections. This "key" was not smart enough to do a case-insensitive comparison. In order to do that, I had to modify the hashcode and tweak the Equals() to do case-insensitive comparison so that it always gets a hit if the case within the key is different from the test value.
If you are comfortable building NHibernate and owning the tech debt until it is fixed, here is my patch:
Modify EntityKey.cs, CollectionKey.cs, and CacheKey.cs

*

*GetHashCode() - needs to return a consistent hash code regardless of the case of the key. Otherwise, Equals() will NEVER get called when the case is different.

*Equals() - needs to return true regardless of the case. Otherwise, your entity and/or it's child collections will get missed.

I cheated by simply using upper case for comparison, rather than doing the case insensitive compare.
Sample Code:
EntityKey.cs
    public override bool Equals(object other)
    {
        var otherKey = other as EntityKey;
        if(otherKey==null) return false;

        if (Identifier is string && otherKey.Identifier is string)
        {
            object thiskeySanitized = ((string)Identifier).ToUpper();
            object thatkeySanitized = ((string)otherKey.Identifier).ToUpper();
            return otherKey.rootEntityName.Equals(rootEntityName) && identifierType.IsEqual(thatkeySanitized, thiskeySanitized, entityMode, factory);
        }
        return
            otherKey.rootEntityName.Equals(rootEntityName)
            && identifierType.IsEqual(otherKey.Identifier, Identifier, entityMode, factory);
    }

    private int GenerateHashCode()
    {
        int result = 17;
        object sanitizedIdentifier = (identifier is string) ? ((string) identifier).ToUpper() : identifier;
        unchecked
        {
            result = 37 * result + rootEntityName.GetHashCode();
            result = 37 * result + identifierType.GetHashCode(sanitizedIdentifier, entityMode, factory);
        }
        return result;
    }

CollectionKey.cs
    public override bool Equals(object obj)
    {
        CollectionKey that = (CollectionKey)obj;
        if (this.key is string && that.key is string)
        {
            object thiskeySanitized = ((string)this.key).ToUpper();
            object thatkeySanitized = ((string)that.key).ToUpper();
            return that.role.Equals(role) && keyType.IsEqual(thatkeySanitized, thiskeySanitized, entityMode, factory);
        }
        return that.role.Equals(role) && keyType.IsEqual(that.key, key, entityMode, factory);
    }

    private int GenerateHashCode()
    {
        int result = 17;
        unchecked
        {
            result = 37 * result + role.GetHashCode();
            object sanitizedIdentifier = (key is string) ? ((string)key).ToUpper() : key;
            result = 37 * result + keyType.GetHashCode(sanitizedIdentifier, entityMode, factory);
        }
        return result;

Homeland Security head Janet Napolitano told reporters last week that we all need to be aware and on the lookout for terrorists on the prowl, and that means calling in photographers "continually taking photographs of a piece of critical infrastructure that doesn't seem to make any sense." Jeesh, way to set us back, oh, about eight years, Janet. I feel like I'm having flashbacks to a different administration.
thats crazy. I officially stopped replying to the FBI's rounds of questions after an officer would take my info, I routinley would get an FBI call about 3 weeks later. EVERY time.
I just told them to stop calling. I mean look at my website for petes sake… night photography and industrial night scenes are all I shoot….
we are turning into Russia. Come and talk to us, ask some questions, fiddle our names through your computers, fine. Just dont break our rights to photograph what we can see from public ground.

Sing No More The Mumbai Malhar
Once a city of pulsing vigour and life, India's showpiece city is in steep decline—physically, intellectually and in terms of its inclusive spirit
Smruti Koppikar	09 July 2012
Reuters (From Outlook, July 09, 2012)
Smruti Koppikar	July 09, 2012 00:00 IST Sing No More The Mumbai Malhar
At the southernmost tip of Mumbai, the Nariman Point precinct has for decades been India's symbol of corporate power. A large but nondescript building, also in the area, is the seat of government of Maharashtra. The top three floors of this secured building, the Mantralaya, were gutted in an inferno last week; the blaze claimed five lives, turned thousands of precious documents to ashes and rendered unusable half-a-dozen offices, including those of the chief minister and his deputy. A precious half hour passed before the first fire engine reached the spot; it was another 15-20 minutes before a fire engine with a snorkel arrived.
"The city is not dead yet, but it's a few steps from the ICU. It doesn't build on its residents' vibrancy."
Sudhir Badami, Transport analyst, development expert
It's a telling story of the crumbling state of affairs in the metropolis that aspires to be India's—and Asia's—financial hub, a city that's often tallied with global cities such as New York, Paris and Tokyo. Hundreds of thousands of buildings in the city do not even have a provision for access by a fire engine. There are other depressing parameters. Mumbai now ranks below a few other Indian cities in both economic growth as well as livability or quality of life index. Consider these: its economic growth of an encouraging seven per cent per annum in the mid-'90s slumped to barely 2.5 per cent per annum last decade and settled somewhere in between in the last few years; affordable housing is a joke, middle-class apartments are not available for less than Rs 1 crore, slum tenements command anywhere from Rs 20-50 lakh a room; commutes from suburbs to business districts take close to two hours one way, the city still largely moves on its traditional north-south axis on public transport systems that were put in place over 150 years ago; its open spaces, forest cover and protective mangroves are being devoured by the land lobby at an alarming rate; its streets are littered with either potholes or garbage; its premier academic/cultural institutions are the same that were there in the '70s-80s or even earlier, that nothing of note has been added lately speaks of a loss of vitality. Terrorists can wreak havoc at will. But an overstretched police spends more energy curbing the city's night life.
Two stories The Mumbai cityscape is a cliche of contrasts
Mumbai should not have been on the brink of a collapse, considering its future has occupied the time and energies of successive state and central governments for over two decades. Yet, it is. It's a mess of unplanned, haphazard, real estate-led growth, its physical infrastructure at variance with the dynamism, innovations and entrepreneurship of Mumbaikars.
"The city has been disturbingly fragmented into pieces with exclusive and competing spaces."
P.K. Das, Architect, activist
You could say Mumbai is booming as easily as Mumbai is coming apart; the city is caught in a schizophrenic growth-and-decline character. "I have no doubt that we are looking at the decline of a great city; Mumbai has largely lost its clout," remarks Darryl D'Monte, former editor and author of The Decline of Mumbai and its Mills. Census 2011 showed a reversal of the ratio of migrants to the natural population, and that's a sure sign of deceleration, he says. It still remains the densest city in the country, with 21,880 persons to a sq km. Sudhir Badami, an IITian, transport analyst and member of several state government initiatives, says, "The city is not dead yet, but it's a few steps away from being in the icu. There's vibrancy in its people and their enterprise but the city does not enable it or build upon it."
These sentiments were empirically confirmed in a report prepared for Bombay First—a corporate initiative responsible for the Vision Mumbai document which laid the foundation for several infrastructure investments. The report spoke of "visible evidence of poor quality of life, both in absolute terms and in comparison with other cities" and "transactional experiences" of its citizens and administrators. The Vision Mumbai document, prepared by McKinsey, was rightly rubbished for its elitist approach to the city's growth but it had spoken of Mumbai's possible collapse if certain steps were not taken in the decade ending 2013. Union cabinet minister Sharad Pawar too referred to such a "collapse" last month but quite opportunistically, blamed it all on Congress ministers in the alliance government.
From a diligently planned city during the British era, Mumbai's growth in the last decade and half has been rather accidental and ad hoc; it happened despite, rather than because of, planning authorities. The municipal corporation's planning department was rendered useless as the state government—under its urban development department—set up semi-autonomous institutions that concentrated on project-planning instead of holistic city-planning.
"The need of the hour is to view real estate and infrastructure cohesively, not in isolation."
Subhankar Mitra, Head (Strategic Consulting), Jones Lang LaSalle
Here are three: the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation gave Mumbai its network of 40-odd flyovers in the 1990s but was not responsible for the road network. The Maharashtra Housing Area Development Corporation (MHADA) constructs only a few thousand low-cost houses every year, its mandate nixed by ad-hoc clearances that incentivise private builders to create high-end housing. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) built the tony Bandra-Kurla complex but did not factor in transport connections. Planning, when it happened, was piecemeal, sectoral and driven by vested interests.
"The city has been, disturbingly, fragmented into pieces with exclusive and competing spaces," says P.K. Das, well-known architect and prime mover behind the city's open space conservation. "Mumbai is an expanding city with diminishing space. In spite of 'growth', democratic space has declined and it's manifested in the adverse effect on our lives, experiences and relationships." Housing activists like Simpreet Singh are more acerbic: "There is indeed a plan: it's to drive away the middle and poor classes outside the city. The government-babu-builder nexus has determined how this city would look and who it's meant for."

It's not that investments haven't been made into Mumbai, but there has been an unhealthy division of labour: mostly private money goes into developing land, while spending on infrastructure is largely from the government or public-private partnerships. The results have been predictably lopsided. With billions chasing scarce land, private investors and real estate lobby have made a killing while funding for infrastructure has been tardy and inconsistent. "The need of the hour is to view real estate and infrastructure development cohesively, not as isolated phenomena," noted Subhankar Mitra, head (strategic consulting), Jones Lang LaSalle, in his recent paper, The Anatomy of Urban Investments in Mumbai.
Besides, 'infrastructure' has so far meant physical infrastructure—roads, metros, sealinks—and attention has been lavished on these. Other factors that go into the making of a city—open spaces, healthcare/emergency services, a variety of commons—have been ignored. So too cultural and academic institutions, which act as a city's internal source of self-directing life-energy by studying and understanding it along social/human parameters, auditing urban development on these bases, and crucially, generating ideas. "I've no hesitation in saying we live in a de-intellectualised Bombay," remarks Dr Aroon Tikekar, president of The Asiatic Society and historian-author. "This de-intellectualisation is across media, academia, literature, culture; not a single institute of repute has been set up here for liberal arts, nor a credible think-tank, it has hardly any scholars. All that's now in Delhi".
"I have no hesitation in saying that we live in a de-intellectualised Bombay."
Dr Arun Tikekar, President, The Asiatic Society
Mumbai can still be saved if all stakeholders are serious about ensuring an equitable growth, a reasonable quality of life. It can't simply aim to be another Singapore or Shanghai. Ajit Ranade, chief economist at Aditya Birla Group, says, "Globally and historically, there are no role models of how to plan and run large cities with 20 million people. Some five Asian cities will have about 40 million people; they'll have to work their own models." Also, global cities, irrespective of models, have a well-entrenched public housing system in place, point out urban planners; a key factor lacking in Mumbai plans. "It's the elephant in the room," says Ranade. "Public housing sounds socialist, yet there's no getting away from it. Singapore has 60 per cent people in public housing, Chinese cities all have it, our authorities allowed speculation and profits to overwhelm this."
There are parallels for transport; multi-crore, long-gestation transport projects—delayed by years—cater to private transport while the average Mumbaikar still struggles with overcrowded local trains and buses. "It's shameful that nearly 4,000 people lose their lives every year simply travelling by local trains, this isn't how global cities manage transport," argues Badami. "We need investment into low-cost options such as pavements, cycling tracks, Bus Rapid Transit System."
Besides, any planning for Mumbai will have to place the city in the larger context of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) which includes Thane, Navi Mumbai and far-flung suburbs; a region that's ten times the size of Mumbai and among the fastest growing urban agglomerations in the world.
"Public housing sounds socialist, yet Singapore has 60 per cent people in public housing."
Ajit Ranade, Chief economist, Aditya Birla Group
It's the political class that must lead the new thought, new approach, to forestalling "the icu moment" for Mumbai. Politicians respond to where the votes are; Mumbai and other urban centres in Maharashtra for the first time constitute nearly 100 of the 288 assembly seats. "Also, there's a need to urgently implement the Nagar Raj provisions because citizens get empowered," remarks Ranade. Adds D'Monte, "The political class should lead new and inclusive initiatives with citizen bodies pushing and goading it; corporates should not be at this table."
Sadly, the political class offers little hope: it's either the Congress or the NCP back-biting and blaming each other for the mess that's Mumbai, or it's Uddhav and Raj Thackeray playing out family politics in the guise of their parties, the Shiv Sena and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena. In fact, Uddhav believes his party, which has been in control of the municipal corporation for nearly 20 years, has done "a good job" and Mumbai's crises are the handiwork of "a corrupt Congress-NCP government". Such belief is a refusal to accept the city's downslide.
Perhaps the city requires, as Tikekar suggests, a minister in the Maharashtra cabinet. It's a politically volatile idea but it may just help the city pull back from the brink.

ADD and ADHD medications requiring a prescription are on the increase amongst the Irish student population, and this includes Modafinil. But this is not because the frequency of ADD and ADHD are increasing amongst the Irish student population. This specific group of people wants this specific type of drug because it enables them to increase their productivity levels and increase the efficiency of which they are able to study.
Certain medications such as Modafinil were created with the intention to improve the concentration abilities of people suffering from ADD and ADHD, who struggle to keep focused on a particular task. However, students taking the referred to medication have seen remarkable improvements to their marks and grades when taking medication such as Modafinil, despite not suffering from ADD or ADHD.
But is it legal for Modafinil to be used in Ireland? And if so, where can Modafinil be sourced?
Modafinil has been created through the use of a unique molecule which enables it to give comparable benefits to the users to that of an amphetamine such as Adderall. The main difference between Modafinil and Adderall is that there are far fewer side effects when Modafinil is used.
The original innovation of Modafinil was to help in the treatment of attention deficit disorders and narcolepsy.
The concept behind Modafinil is to promote wakefulness within busy professionals and students revising for long hours throughout the night. There have even been times where the US Military's Special Forces and fighter pilots have been known to use Modafinil to aid them in keeping awake so that they can complete challenging overnight missions.
Modafinil stimulates certain areas of the brain which are in charge of the sleep/wake cycle. This is the cycle used by the body to determine alertness in the day and to induce the feeling of sleep at night. This cycle usually follows a pattern associated with the rising and setting of the sun.
There are many scenarios where it is important that we are able to overcome this cycle though, for example, if a task needs to be finished and to do so takes us late into the night, to help us recover from jetlag after long travel, chronic fatigue recovery, and shift work alternation.
The most common reason for people to use Modafinil is that they require a productivity boost. Modafinil is able to aid this process by increasing the dopamine level in the brain.
For people suffering from ADD or ADHD, Modafinil has been proven as effective for increasing their concentration levels because this group of people naturally have much lower dopamine levels and Modafinil can act as a regulator for this.
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter and is a very important part of the brain because it acts as the reward center. When we do something advantageous to ourselves, this dopamine creates an oxytocin surge which, in turn, gives us a good feeling. This is how people maintain their focus and motivation when working on a particular task for long periods of time.
The brain craves the good feeling if the levels of dopamine within the brain are low. This is what is responsible for a lack of concentration and the reason we become restless because the brain tries to find excitement somewhere else as it is not being sufficiently stimulated by the task at hand.
This behavior can be changed by heightening the amount of dopamine in the brain so that attention and focus are increased dramatically, and the reward system function of the brain becomes a much healthier attribute.
In Summary, the best online seller of Modafinil that we have found is that of BuyModa.com.
The internet, in general, is full of the best and the worst of the Modafinil world, not to mention the scams as well. Make sure that you have done a substantial amount of research so that you obtain the best Modafinil you can.
To avoid bad Modafinil and to avoid being scammed, try following these points to assess how reputable the seller is and the quality of the Modafinil.
1. Can you use the website easily?
We live in an age where we want to utilize time to the best of our ability. If a website is not easy to use, doesn't respond quickly and we sense something doesn't add up, then the chances are that the website is not as legit as it wants you to believe. Trust your instincts if you get an inkling that something is not right. If you didn't trust a shopkeeper in the flesh, you wouldn't buy their products in person so why would you do so online where you have no human contact with the seller at all.
Without wanting to overgeneralize, there are things to look out for when it comes to websites. If the site is difficult or confusing to use, is badly edited, seems outdated and dysfunctional, then these are often signs that you should avoid it.
2. Is Free Shipping Offered?
When ordering legit Modafinil, it comes as standard almost always that free shipping is included. This is definitely the case if you decide to order your Modafinil from specific places such as India and China because their Irish export rates are so low. Free shipping gives the company a better incentive to package orders well so that they are able to get past screening at the Irish border without being seized.
Free shipping benefits the buyer and the seller.
3. Is Guaranteed Delivery an Option?
When ordering Modafinil to any country, the risk of it being screened, found and seized is always risked. The same applies to ordering it to Ireland. Yes, there are ways in which you are able to decrease the chance of confiscation occurring, but you will always be gambling to some degree.
It can never be guaranteed that every Modafinil package will arrive at its designated address, so make sure that you protect yourself against losing out financially. Don't waste your hard-earned cash by ordering your Modafinil from a company that does not guarantee delivery.
The advertising of guaranteed delivery is another way in which you are able to tell a legit Modafinil company, the majority of which offer this service as standard. You are generally given the option if your Modafinil does go astray, as to whether you would like another replicate Modafinil parcel to be dispatched or whether you would like a full refund instead.
You must make sure that you have the option of doing this should the situation occur before you complete your original purchase online.
4. Are multiple payment methods given as an option?
It is unusual for sellers of Modafinil to accept credit cards as a payment method because pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies are considered much too high a risk by the credit card companies. This means that many of the common methods for online sales such as Stripe, Square, and Paypal are unavailable to pharmaceutical companies.
Scammers do not like to use the larger credit card companies either but for different reasons. This is because all transactions are verified and the scammers are much more likely to get caught out as their background checks often do not check out.
Due to this, if you are offered the option to pay using a credit card, you can almost certainly be sure that you are not going to get scammed if the use of a credit card is a payment option. They have been screened and pay the high online pharmaceutical rates which makes them legal online retailers. This is the best indication you can look for as to how reputable a Modafinil seller is.
The majority of Modafinil sellers use direct bank transfers, cryptocurrency, and Bitcoin as their preferred methods of payment. Discounts are often offered to compensate for the fact that the seller is not paying for credit card transactions to be processed. A prime example of this can be seen in BuyModa, who accept credit cards but also offer a 20% discount for buyers who choose to pay with Bitcoin, compensating them for the money they save by not processing a credit card payment.
If you would like an additional 10% discount from BuyModa, use MOD10 at the checkout.
5. Have you read the Reddit reviews?
If you are ever in doubt about a seller and want to check how reputable they are, the chances are there is a discussion about them on Reddit. With thousands of nootropics users reviewing and sharing their opinions regarding Modafinil online sellers, there's a huge amount to be learned. You can learn almost anything about almost any seller on the web.
There are potential side effects when any medication is used, and Modafinil is no exception.
There have been cases where Steven Johnson Syndrome has been a side effect of using Modafinil. This is an incredibly severe allergic reaction, but it is a very rare side effect.
The majority of people who take Modafinil will encounter headaches and insomnia, though there are ways to reduce the amount and severity of these.
By drinking increased amounts of water throughout the day, headaches can be reduced.
By making sure that Modafinil is taken pre-11am, insomnia can be decreased. It is also advised that every week one day is a completely Modafinil free day if it is to be used long term, to help insomnia further.

Modafinil was originally created by Laboratoire Lafon. This French research company found that there was a particular compound, known as adrafinil, which was able to replicate the effects that amphetamines gave. Amphetamines were popular during this time of research, but they discovered that Modafinil had many fewer side effects.
Once this information began to be made public, a big American pharmaceutical company called Cephalon Inc. bought out Laboratoire Lafon for an estimated USD 450 million. They did this because they knew that adrafinil was going to be the best drug for ADHD sufferers on the market, and how right they were.
To make adrafinil safe for human use, tests and clinical trials were undertaken to ensure its safety and fully validate it to prove that it could treat narcolepsy and ADHD as well as it was originally thought. Through these tests and trials, it was found that adrafinil metabolized into two separate compounds known as Modafinilic Acid and Modafinil. They then required that the drug was increased in its potency to treat ADHD and narcolepsy more effectively.
After all tests and trials of Modafinil were completed, it was passed successfully, patented and was then available for public consumption.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers were able to create their own generic versions of Modafinil when the patent of Modafinil ran out. They just had to make sure that the dosage remained the same, as did the active ingredients within the medication. This is why there are now over 20 varieties of Modafinil available for Irish residents to purchase, and, indeed, worldwide.
Today there are over 20 brands of Modafinil on sale, but not all of them can be supplied to Ireland.
It is only legal to use Modafinil in Ireland when you obtain it via a prescription. To gain Modafinil from a pharmacy in Ireland, you cannot do so without a valid prescription being presented.
The maximum number of tablets allowed for purchase at anyone one time on prescription are three months' worth.
Gaining a prescription from your doctor is the most traditional approach to getting hold of Modafinil. Then taking this prescription to your local pharmacy is the easiest way to be in receipt of the Modafinil you require and fast.
But as simple as that seems it isn't always that simple to get your doctor to write a prescription for Modafinil. They only prescribe it to people who suffer from very specific medical conditions like narcolepsy, ADD and ADHD. It is extremely difficult to fake these illnesses to entice your doctor into writing a prescription, as multiple rounds of tests are usually required before these medical conditions are officially diagnosed.
There are however times where doctors will recommend that Modafinil is used by people struggling with sleep problems, usually due to them working shifts. Proof that you do actually work shifts is required, you cannot lie and expect to get a prescription for Modafinil – it will not wash with your doctor.
Gaining a prescription through your doctor isn't easy, and it can be expensive, but it is the legal way to obtain Modafinil. The general public has greater faith in doctors than they do on the internet. There is also the added bonus of not having to worry about your online ordered Modafinil being seized at border customs.
A more recent and increasingly popular option, buying Modafinil online is often considered as being much less hassle than having to do so through your doctor.
The majority of online vendors export Modafinil from India because their sale and pharmaceutical laws are much more lenient.
With or without a prescription, it is preferred by many to buy Modafinil online because it is so much cheaper as it is sold as the generic medication and you would not be paying for the patented Modafinil. Generic medications such as Modalert and Modvigil are practically identical to Modafinil itself.
The most expensive brands are Alertec, Modavigil, Nuvigil ®, and Provigil®, and are to be avoided if you want to keep the cost low.
For a generic drug to be accepted by the Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) prior to their sale, they must be almost exactly the same as the drug they are trying to replicate. The dosage and concentration must be kept the same.
Purchasing Modafinil in Ireland can be challenging though not impossible.
To do so legally, your doctor can prescribe it and do so most commonly for people suffering from narcolepsy, ADD and ADHD.
An alternative way to purchase Modafinil is to source it from an online seller where no prescription is necessary. There is always a risk here that your Modafinil could be seized at customs, but this is a rarity.
Be sure to do plenty of research on sellers of Modafinil before you purchase anything, looking for things like discreet shipping, guaranteed delivery and the allowance for the credit card used for the purchase.

Advanced cancer was the last thing on Rob Winter's mind he was diagnosed three years ago with stage 4B colorectal cancer metastasized to his liver and lungs. The 43-year-old Longmont resident is a husband and father of three, an avid cyclist, and also happens to serve as director of information security at Boulder Community Health.
Since diagnosis, Winter has been through an astounding 72 rounds of chemotherapy—while logging a perhaps more astounding 16,000-plus miles on his bike—and continues to maintain a positive outlook.
"I couldn't have done it without the amazing care I receive at the BCH Center of Integrative Care (CIC)," he recently said. "Utilizing their massage and acupuncture services during my journey with cancer, my body has remained strong." In fact, `strong' a bit of an understatement: Winters admits he even placed 7th out of 17 in an age-group bike race.

Original and only owner. Adult-ridden. Garage kept for its entire life. Wiped down, detailed, and cleaned after every ride. OUTSTANDING CONDITION! Making room in the garage for other hobbies.
All service completed on manufacturer schedule by Yamaha dealer, with records maintained. Clean title. VIN, vehicle history reports available upon request. Registered through 9/2019.
Bike is in excellent condition and is an absolute blast to ride. Flickable upright riding position inspires confidence but begs to be pushed down into the corners. OEM Bridgestone Battlax's have performed excellently in all weather conditions, though the bike has seen very little humidity or rain in Southern CA.
Some nice less-advertised features I really enjoyed were the included 12V plug (see dash photo, bottom left) and cruise control, which works in 4+ gear and 30+ mph. Display is functional and easy to see, even in direct sunlight. Two keys and owner's manual included with the service log.
Bike is ready to move! Please PM or email me for details.
Another good wish for a quick sale. And for you or future owner: I have the same radiator grilles (Amazon), which I like a lot, but you need to spend some time to install the upper radiator one properly. At least on my bike, it was touching the finned area almost everywhere. I had to re-bend it into shape, and then make sure it wasn't touching anywhere once tighten into place. That also required some adjusting, but you start by pulling it out at opposite corners all the way (small free play), then adjust the other 2 until nothing touches. I have about 2mm of clearance all over. Checked it when hot and nothing changed, but make sure to check it again, just to make sure. And with every oil change too. Good luck.

Background: Communication is a multi-dimensional, multi-factorial phenomenon and a dynamic, complex process, closely related to the environment in a hospital or related places. Nurses in the hospital need to enhance their skill in communication to improve patient satisfaction. This study conducted a systematic review to describe the communication barrier between nurse and patient at the hospital.
Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review conducted by searching databases from EBSCO e-journals, Elsevier Science Direct, CINAHL Complete, and Google Scholar, published from 2012 to 2017. The literature was analyzed using the critical appraisal tool.
Results: Communication barriers included job dissatisfaction due to workload, uncontrolled patient family presence, distrust of nurse competency, gender incompatibility, nurse lack of attention, delay and carelessness in providing information, lack of nurse responsibility, difference in language, over workload, patient family disorder, nurse reluctance to communicate, patient physical discomfort, physical and psychological complaint, language difficulty, limited nurse communication skill, insufficient time, busy environment, and noise. Communication barriers between nurse and patient affected the quality of health service.
Conclusion: Communication barriers between nurse and patient affect the quality of health service.

Šajkaška
Šajkaška (Шајкашка) is a historical region in northern Serbia. It is southeastern part of Bačka, located in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. Territory of Šajkaška is divided among four municipalities: Titel, Žabalj, Novi Sad, and Srbobran. Historical center of Šajkaška is Titel.
Шајкашка
Geographic region of Serbia
Map of Šajkaška
NameEdit
Name Šajkaška means "land of šajkaši". Šajkaši were a specific kind of Austrian army, which moved in narrow, long boats, known as "šajka". These military units have operated on the Danube, Tisa, Sava and Moriš rivers. In Hungarian, the region is known as Sajkásvidék and in German as Schajkaschka.
After 1400, the majority of the people in Šajkaška were Serbs who had settled the area before or after the Ottoman conquered the Balkan lands to the south . Moving further north, they had become established at csepel Island where they founded Srpski Kovin (Raczkeve). After 1526 and the Battle of Mohacs, they moved to the northern Danube and to the city of Komarno which, for a long time, was the administrative headquarters of the Šajkaš forces.
After the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699, the region was part of the Habsburg Monarchy. Most of Šajkaška was included into Habsburg Military Frontier (its Danube and Tisa sections), while one part of the region was included into Bodrog County. When these parts of Military Frontier were abolished (in 1750), Šajkaška was included into Theiss District, which was part of the Batsch-Bodrog County within the Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary. In 1763, Šajkaška was excluded from Theiss District and was again placed under military administration. Šajkaš Battalion, as part of Military Frontier, was founded in this area. In the beginning of the Habsburg administration, the population of the region was composed entirely of Serbs, which were brave and skillful warriors. Serb Šajkaši have participated in many battles against Ottoman Empire.
By 1739 and the Peace of Belgrade, the border between Austria and Turkey was moved to the Sava and Danube rivers, and at that time, the idea was proposed to move the Šajkaši down from the north. That was done in 1763-1764.
Location of the Šajkaš Battalion, 18th-19th century
In 1848-1849, region was part of autonomous Serbian Vojvodina, but was again included into Military Frontier in 1849. In 1852, Šajkaš battalion was transformed into Titel infantry battalion. This military unit was abolished in 1873, and region was again incorporated into Bács-Bodrog County. Administratively, territory of Šajkaška was organized into municipality of Titel and separate municipality of Žabalj was also later established. In 1910, ethnic Serbs formed an absolute majority in both municipalities.
