Extraordinary Student Organizes Drive-By Birthday Parade for Friend During Covid
Samantha Deras
During this tumultuous year, many felt depressed and useless while being stuck indoors with nothing to do. With the sudden and rapid halt to our everyday lives we have missed out on important events, fun gatherings, and big milestones. Despite these unfortunate circumstances, many compassionate individuals still strived to bring joy to others.
With the inability to plan big gatherings, many birthdays were spent at home with family, and even some cake for those who were lucky. However, South Windsor High School junior Zoë Clayton made it her mission to make her friend Sarita Scully's 16th birthday a little special.
With the help of Scully's mother, Zoë was able to plan a big driveby birthday parade for Scully, equipped with music, decorations, gifts, and all her friends that she has been missing since the pandemic began. "It was important to me because I was planning it for her mother. I think I made her birthday extra special by inviting all different types of friends. I loved her reaction." Clayton said.
The unique setting of this unprecedented year has definitely made these driveby birthday parades more popular and frequent, and an easy way to remind those who are celebrating another year on this planet that they are still loved and appreciated, even during a time where it feels like the world is crumbling.
"It made my birthday extra special because I normally don't like celebrating my birthday, but this time it was completely different," Scully shared. "It was definitely memorable because it was my 16th, so it's supposed to be a special birthday, but obviously with the pandemic you can't celebrate the normal way so I'll definitely remember the car parade forever."
It's a sigh of relief to see so many teenagers and young adults celebrating each other and serves as a reminder that there is still infinite kindness in this world. "It reminded me that there are people who care about me, which was a reminder that I needed because it gets lonely in quarantine and you forget what it's like to be around your friends," Scully said.
As we say goodbye to 2020 and hello to 2021, and as the COVID vaccine is seeing serious progression, we hope for a brighter future where we can finally embrace one another in person and celebrate birthdays by all singing happy birthday together.

Gundam Build Fighters Try: Island Wars to be streamed via Gundam.info, original Gundam movies also streamed
Live-action Pokemon movie will be written by Guardians of the Galaxy's writer and Gravity Falls creator
Posted on Aug 17th, 2016
It seems that Legendary Pictures is serious about adapting Pokemon's Detective Pikachu game into a live-action movie, and they have called on some pretty big guns to write the movie's script.
Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor screenwriter, Nicole Perlman, has been tagged in writing the Detective Pikachu movie's script, alongside Alex Hirsch, who is the creator of the popular Cartoon Network series, Gravity Falls. Aside from writing the script for Detective Pikachu, Perlman will also be working on the script for the upcoming Captain Marvel movie, as well as writing her own comic book starring Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy.
The inclusion of two big-name writers for the project is proving that Legendary Pictures does not want a failure like Dragon Ball Evolution in their hands, and that they are actually putting on some effort in making the movie good. Hopefully, this one will end up like Edge of Tomorrow, which was adapted from a Japanese novel and manga, and starred Tom Cruise.
After some speculations, Legendary Pictures has won the rights in doing a live-action Pokemon movie, however, it won't be based on the anime or the main games, but in a spin-off game called Great Detective Pikachu. It is revealed that filming will begin in 2017, with Universal Pictures distributing the movie outside of Japan. TOHO, which is a long-time collaborative partner for the Pokemon Company, will be distributing the film in Japan.

Stolta stad! er et af den svenske digter Carl Michael Bellmans kendeste værker fra nr. 33 i samlingen fra 1790 Fredmans Epistler. Epistlen kombinerer talte indslag – fx 'Was ist das?' og vendinger eller ord på tysk, svensk og fransk – med indslag af sang på svensk. Den er beskrevet som svensk litteraturs mest kongeniale skildring af hovedstaden.

Til titlen er føjet en forklarende undertekst om indholdet:
"1:o Om Fader Movitz's öfverfart til Djurgården,
 och 2:o om den dygdiga Susanna."

Baggrund

Carl Michael Bellman er en central figur i svensk sang- eller visetradition, kendt for Fredmans Epistler fra 1790 og Fredmans Sange fra 1791. Han spillede cister, ledsagende sig selv når han udførte sine sange ved hoffet.

Jean Fredman er en fiktiv karakter og den formodede fortæller i Bellmans epistler og sange baseret på en urmager i Stockholm på Bellmans tid. Epistlerne tegner et billede af byens demimonde liv i 1700-tallet, hvor stærke drikke og smukke "nymfer" som Ulla Winblad skaber et rokokobillede af livet ved at blande klassisk allusion og pastoral beskrivelse med tidens barske virkelighed.

Epistlen
Epistlen begynder med en lang talt del, imiterende en overfyldt båd med folk, der spiller kort og andre der forsøger at bevæge sig omkring. Noget er på tysk og fransk – og en stump på dansk).
Sangen har fire strofer med to yderligere talte afsnit. Hver strofe har tolv linjer, med rimmønsteret AABBCCDDDEEE. Af disse begynder linjerne AA begge med 'Corno' (horn), og alle linjerne CDD og EEE slutter med 'Corno'.

Sangen er i 4/4 og markeret 'Marche'. Epistlen er dateret 16. oktober 1771. Tre af de talte afsnit slutter med en meddelelse om at en 'nymfe', Susanna, skal synge. Kun denne epistel og epistel nr. 67 (Fader Movitz, Bror) kræver en kvindestemme, men identifikationen af "Susanna" er ikke kendt. Melodien hævdes af Nils Afzelius at komme fra arien "Regardez ces traits" fra Monsignys opera Le cadi dupé, men det bestrides af musikologen James Massengale.

Udpluk fra epistlen
Epistlen begynder på tysk og fortsætter med udbrud og tilråb på flere sprog til dem der er opholder sig på Skeppsbron da selskabet belaver sig på at blive roet over til Djurgården:
 : "Was ist das? Ge rum vid Roddar-trappan. (Hvad er det? Giv plads ved ro-trappen - dvs. trappen ned til kajen)
 : Undan Birfilare, Skoputsare, Tullsnokar och Matroser! (Til side fiolspillere, skopudsere, toldkontrollører og matroser!)
 : ..."
... og efter mange lignende udråb kommer første sungne strofe, hvor (Corno) markerer hornet der gjalder.

Reception

Epistlen er indspilet af Fred Åkerström og Sven-Bertil Taube, og fremført i kostume af Thord Lindé.
Citerende epistlen bemærker Anita Ankarcrona, at Bellman var 'den første, og måske den største, af alle der har skildret Stockholm' ("... Men, Carl Michael Bellman var den förste, och kanske den störste, av alla Stockholmsskildrare. ...")

Det svenske Bellmanssällskapet bemærker, at Sveriges hovedstad aldrig er portrætteret med mægtigere trompetfanfarer eller med større behændighed end i denne epistel: "svensk litteraturs mest kongeniale portræt af Stockholm". Værket er hverken digt eller sang, men et sangdrama af den art, der er skabt af Bellman selv af en kakofoni af stemmer og Skeppsbrons kollektive musik.
Lydcollagen bliver som "et landskabsmaleri, et forbløffende smukt billede af en gruppe stockholmere i 1770'erne".

I Haga-Brunnsviken Nytt bemærker Gunnel Bergström, at i strofe tre stiger Ulla Winblad ombord, og Movitz bliver kåd og lidenskabelig.

Et rejseselskab, der viser folk rundt i Bellmans Stockholm, kalder sig "Stolta Stad".

Q: JQuery. Facing problems with click events I was writing code for image flip game in jquery but I am facing some problems with the click events on image in the beginning. The problems are when I click one image and click again the same image it works fine but if I click one image, the image src attribute is added to the img tag and then if I click any other image the src attribute is not added to that one for the first click because the clickCounter has the value 1 then. I employed my own logic (clickCounter). I am new to jquery. You may suggest a better way to do this. Thanks in advance.
Here is my code.

    <button id="add">Add</button>

JSFiddle

A: The problem is the shared variable clickCounter which is shared between all the elements.
In this case since you have dynamic elements, you could use event delegation and then use the current src value of the img to set the new one like
$('#add').click(function () {
    addElements(44);
    $('#add').prop('disabled', true);
});

$('#main').on('click', '.myimg', function () {
    $(this).attr('src', function (i, src) {
        return src == 'back.png' ? '' : 'back.png';
    }).height(100).width(100);
})

function addElements(times) {
    var $main = $('#main');
    for (j = 1; j <= times; j++) {
        $('', {
            'class': 'myimg'
        }).appendTo($main)
    }
}

Demo: Fiddle

A: Instead of counter, check for 'src' attribute as shown below,

        $('#add').click(function(){
            addElements(44);
            $('#add').attr('disabled', 'true');
        });
        function addElements(times){
            var main = $('#main');
            for(j = 1; j <= times; j++){
                var i = document.createElement('img');
                var img = $(i);
                img.click(function(){
                    // $(this).css('background', 'url(back.png)');
                    var myImage = $(this);
                  var attr = $(this).attr('src');
                    if(typeof attr == typeof undefined){
                        myImage.attr('src', 'back.png');
                        myImage.attr('width', '100');
                        myImage.attr('height', '100');
                    }else{
                        myImage.removeAttr('src');

                    }
                    //alert(clickCounter);
                });
                img.addClass('myimg');
                main.append(img);
            }
        }
#main{
            height: 500px;
            border: 1px solid blue;
            margin: auto;
        }
        .myimg{
            width: 100px;
            height: 100px;

Home / Nootropics / CoQ10
CoEnzyme Q10 helps generate energy in our cells. It is beneficial in various ways, especially for different disorders related to cellular energy production, metabolism, and oxidative injury. Research reveals CoQ10 to be most promising to neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease.
Overview of CoEnzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 (2,3 dimethoxy-5 methyl-6-decaprenyl benzoquinone) is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like quinone commonly known as ubiquinone, CoQ, and vitamin Q10. It is available in more than 100 single-ingredient and combination-ingredient products, and in 2002 it accounted for more than $200 million in sales in the United States. [1]
CoQ10 was first isolated in 1957 in beef mitochondria and is found in the highest concentrations in tissues with high energy turnover such as the heart, brain, liver, and kidney.
It is a ubiquitous compound vital to several activities related to energy metabolism.
Because dysfunctional energy metabolism has been cited as a contributing factor for several conditions, Coenzyme Q10 has been indicated in the treatment of cardiac, neurologic, oncologic, and immunologic disorders.
Although the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 does not allow claims for treatment of specific diseases in the United States, Coenzyme Q10 has been cleared for treatment indications in other countries, such as congestive heart failure (CHF) in Japan since 1974.
This fat-soluble substance, which resembles a vitamin, is present in all respiring eukaryotic cells, primarily in the mitochondria. It is a component of the electron transport chain. It participates in aerobic cellular respiration, which generates energy in ATP.
Ninety-five percent of the human body's energy is caused this way. Therefore, those organs with the highest energy requirements, such as the heart, liver, and kidney, have the highest CoQ10 concentrations.
There are three redox states of CoQ10: fully oxidized (ubiquinone), semiquinone (ubisemiquinone), and fully reduced (ubiquinol).
The capacity of this molecule to act as a two-electron carrier (moving between the quinone and quinol form) and a one-electron carrier (moving between the semiquinone and one of these other forms) is central to its role in the electron transport chain due to the iron–sulfur clusters that can only accept one electron at a time, and as a free-radical–scavenging antioxidant." Wikipedia
According to Nootropics Depot:
Coenzyme Q10 (also known as CoQ10) is, as the name suggests, a coenzyme. CoQ10, via its action as a coenzyme, can drive many cellular processes throughout our bodies. Although not classified as a vitamin, CoQ10 closely resembles the structure of vitamin K and it appears that CoQ10 benefits resemble vitamin-like effects. This also hints at an important aspect of CoQ10: it is essential for overall human health. Without CoQ10, many bodily functions would may not work properly. Luckily our bodies are fairly good at preserving CoQ10, and CoQ10 deficiencies are rare. That said, taking a CoQ10 supplement still may have some remarkable effects on overall health.
Supplementing with extra CoEnzyme Q10, alongside a healthy diet, can benefit all the following:
Support cardiovascular health
Support metabolic function
Improve cognitive function
Support brain health (being a neuroprotectant)
Many of CoQ10 benefits are attributed to its help in producing ATP energy. This essential molecule drives most biological processes. CoQ10 is also known as a redox molecule, which allows it to transfer between fully oxidized and fully reduced states.
Through its redox actions, CoQ10 can help power our cells while also helping protect them from oxidative stress. This all sounds great on paper, right?
However, CoQ10, in its crystalline form, is faced with some significant issues and may not be able to produce all of the CoQ10 benefits mentioned above.
CoQ10 Benefits
Enhances and Sharpens Mental Capabilities
Boosts Energy and Reduces Fatigue
Boosts Mitochondrial Health & Function
Reduces Stress and Free Radicals Damage
Supports Fertility
Combats Statin Drug Side Effects
Cancer Prevention Potential
Powerful Antioxidant & Neuroprotectant
Protects Blood Vessels and Enhances Blood Flow
Coenzyme Q10 may also present significant benefits to your cognition. Studies found that individuals with higher levels of CoQ10 showed greater mental sharpness, increased mental energy, and greater performance on a variety of mental tests.
In contrast, those with lower levels of Coenzyme Q10 had greater difficulty concentrating, experienced brain fog, were slower in their mental processing, and showed general cognitive decline.
Some researchers suggest that taking Coenzyme Q10 early enough may decrease your chances of suffering memory loss as a result of aging.
Some studies also show that Coenzyme Q10 may help to reduce physical fatigue, increase energy, improve exercise capacity, and expedite recovery from exercise.
In studies of eight to 44 patients, Coenzyme Q10 demonstrated positive trends in reducing symptoms associated with selected mitochondrial abnormalities including the mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome, Kearns-Sayre syndrome, and the myoclonus epilepsy with ragged-red fibers (MERRhF) syndrome. [R]
Oxidative damage (or free radical damage) of cell structures plays an important role in the functional declines that accompany aging and cause disease.
As both a water- and fat-soluble antioxidant, CoQ10 has been found to inhibit lipid peroxidation, which occurs when cell membranes and low-density lipoproteins are exposed to oxidizing conditions that enter from outside the body. [R]
The antioxidant properties of CoQ10 could help improve sperm quality and reduce the decline in the number and quality of eggs in women.
Supplementing with CoQ10 seems to help and may even reverse this age-related decline in egg quality and quantity.
Female fertility decreases with age due to a decline in the number and quality of available eggs. CoQ10 is directly involved in this process.
As you age, CoQ10 production slows, making the body less effective at protecting the eggs from oxidative damage. [R]
Statins are drugs that help lower cholesterol but often come along with a host of side effects.
Patients suffering from statin-related muscle pain, muscle strength degradation, and decreased aerobic activity can increase performance through daily intake of CoQ10 without other symptoms.
"Statin drugs can induce rhabdomyolysis (muscle death) which release rhabdomyosarcoma cells into the bloodstream, degrading other tissues.
Human rhabdomyosarcoma cells treated with a CoQ10 supplement alongside simvastatin reversed muscle death and killed off remaining sarcoma cells." [R]
Low levels of CoQ10 have been associated with up to a 53.3% higher risk of cancer and indicate a poor prognosis for various types of cancer [R]
CoQ10 plays a critical role in the protection of cell DNA and cell survival, both of which are strongly linked to cancer prevention and recurrence.
Antioxidants are necessary for neutralizing harmful compounds known as free radicals, which are created when cells undergo oxidation. Free radicals can promote cell death, mutate DNA, and damage cell membranes.
CoQ10 may help to eliminate free radicals and prevent the damage they can cause. Some studies even suggest that CoQ10 may recharge other antioxidant compounds and nutrients.
Within mitochondria, coenzyme Q10 has been found to protect membrane proteins and DNA from the oxidative damage that accompanies lipid peroxidation and neutralize free radicals directly that contribute to nearly all age-related diseases (heart disease, cancer, diabetes, neurological disease, etc.). [R]
According to Nootropics Depot, one of the most popular companies that manufactures nootropics, CoQ10 can protect your blood vessels and enhance your blood flow.
This is partly caused by preservation of nitric oxide, a signaling molecule that relaxes the arteries. This may improve overall circulation and cardiovascular health.
COQ10 can reduce the damage oxidized Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL) can do to blood vessels, as well as reduce plaque buildup in the arteries.
CoQ10 Mechanism of Action
Coenzyme Q10 is vital for the proper transfer of electrons within the mitochondrial oxidative respiratory chain, whose main function is adenosine triphosphate production. Coenzyme Q10 also appears to increase adenosine triphosphate levels by preventing the loss of the adenine nucleotide pool from cardiac cells.
Additionally, coenzyme Q10 has demonstrated activity in preventing lipid peroxidation as an antioxidant scavenger and an indirect stabilizer of calcium channels to decrease calcium overload.
Much of the basic research in support of coenzyme Q10 supplementation has focused on the CHF model. The myocardium of patients with CHF demonstrates increased oxidative stress as well as decreased concentrations of coenzyme Q10 as confirmed by tissue assays.
These levels appear to correlate with CHF severity in the animal and human model, with coenzyme Q10 supplementation protecting against ischemia and reperfusion injury in animal studies.
Ubiquinol vs. Ubiquinone
Coenzyme Q10 can occur in multiple different forms in the body, and the two most abundant forms are oxidized CoQ10 (ubiquinone) and reduced CoQ10 (ubiquinol). Many people tend to prefer ubiquinol, due to its oxidation reducing effects in the body.
However, due to this, the lesser desired ubiquinone often times gets overlooked. This is a shame because it actually has some very unique effects!
Ubiquinone plays a major role in the electron transport chain, acting as a shuttle for cellular energy. Due to the fact that ubiquinone CoQ10 is hydrophobic and lipophilic, it can freely move between hydrophobic regions in the inner membranes of mitochondrion.
It moves by way of passive diffusion, so no energy is needed to move CoQ10 around in the mitochondrion.
Ubiquinone stores energy temporarily, and is able to move it through the electron transport chain. It does this by attaching an electron to its benzoquinone head. It can accept electrons from various different systems, such as NADH-Q reductase.
Ubiquinone transports these electrons from complex I and complex II of the electron transport chain, to complex III of the electron transport chain. While it does this, it also transports protons, which generates a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
As these protons flow back across the inner mitochondrial membrane, it directly helps form adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This is in addition to ubiquinone already enhancing ATP synthesis by transporting electrons throughout the electron transport chain.
CoQ10 Dosage
The standard dose for CoQ10 is generally 90mg for a low dose and 200mg for the higher dose, taken once daily with a meal due to its reliance on food for absorption.
There generally isn't too much of a therapeutic effect of CoQ10 supplementation (mostly taken with the 'just in case' mentality that pervades multivitamin supplementation), although for people who have previously experience a heart attack or damage to cardiac tissue as well as for people on statin therapy supplementation becomes much more important.
CoQ10 supplements can be either the oxidized form (ubiquinone) or reduced form (ubiquinol) as both forms seem pretty equally potent in increasing circulating levels of total CoQ10 in the body. 'Total CoQ10′ refers to the sum of both forms, since CoQ10 can readily swap between forms as it acts in the body. – Examine.com
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a natural antioxidant synthesized by the body, found in many foods, and available as a supplement.
It comes in two forms: ubiquinol, the active antioxidant form, and ubiquinone, the oxidized form, which the body partially converts to ubiquinol. Many multi-ingredient supplements contain both forms of CoQ10.
In general, coenzymes support enzymes in their various biochemical functions. CoQ10 is a vital participant in the chain of metabolic chemical reactions that generate energy within cells. It is found in every cell of the body (the name ubiquinone stems from its ubiquity), but is present in higher concentrations in organs with higher energy requirements such as the kidneys, liver, and heart.
Many medical studies demonstrate CoQ10 benefits when taken as a supplement, most of which stem from its vital role in oxygen utilization and energy production, particularly in heart muscle cells.
Why is CoQ10 necessary?
Coenzyme Q10 is beneficial for heart health in many ways. It assists in maintaining the normal oxidative state of LDL cholesterol, helps assure circulatory health, and supports optimal functioning of the heart muscle.
CoQ10 may also help support the health of vessel walls. In addition, Coenzyme Q10 may play a role in reducing the number and severity of migraine headaches, and improving sperm motility in men.
Some research has indicated therapeutic value in high doses to slow the progression of Parkinson's disease, but a 2011 study by the National Institute for Neurological Disease and Stroke found no benefit in slowing symptoms or neural degeneration.
A few small clinical trials have indicated CoQ10 supplementation may help prevent and treat inflamed gums, a condition known as gingivitis.
What are the signs of a Coenzyme Q10 deficiency?
Studies in both animals and humans have associated significantly decreased levels of CoQ10 with a wide variety of diseases.
Since this enzyme is found in high concentration in heart muscle cells, deficiency has been associated with cardiovascular problems including angina, arrhythmia, heart failure and high blood pressure. Problems with blood sugar regulation, gingival (gum) health, and stomach ulcers have also been associated with CoQ10 deficiency.
Those who are taking statins to lower cholesterol are at particular risk for deficiency, because not only do statins reduce cholesterol levels, but they also block CoQ10 synthesis in the body.
Low CoQ10 levels in patients on statins can contribute to the common side effects of statin therapy such as fatigue and aching joints and muscles.
How much, and what kind of Coenzyme Q10, does an adult need?
There is no official Daily Value recommendation, but its suggested at least 90 to 120 mg of supplemental CoQ10 for any adult taking statin medications and for those with a family history of heart problems, or who is at increased risk for cardiovascular disease.
This dosage is also appropriate for otherwise healthy men and women as a preventive measure and to help maintain a healthy cardiovascular system. CoQ10 is fat-soluble, so take the supplement with a meal containing fat.
Seek out the soft-gel ubiquinol form when taking CoQ10 as a standalone supplement, as this has greater antioxidant efficiency than the ubiquinone form.
Is COQ10 harmful?
Of course not! The coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is vital for human metabolism, and is best known for its roles in glucose and fatty acid conversion to ATP, the form of energy used to power most body functions and as a powerful antioxidant in cells, inhibiting lipid peroxidation in cell membranes, DNA and low-density lipoproteins (LDL).
Studies show that when taken daily, CoQ10 supplements are capable of significantly reducing oxidative damage. Also note that CoQ10's levels in skin decline with age, which may also make your skin more susceptible to oxidative damage.
The key thing that impacts the effectiveness of CoQ10 supplements is that many of them have relatively poor bioavailability due to limited solubility.
Thus, it is helpful to go for solubilized forms of CoQ10 which allow for 90-100 percent of dissolution, and which have been improved absorption.

Textile town Stroud, Gloucestershire, 'wowed' by Palestinian History Tapestry
Between 17 and 23 February 2020 the Lansdown Hall and Gallery in the textile town of Stroud in Gloucestershire, UK, hosted an exhibition of 40 panels from the Palestinian History Tapestry (PHT) grouped by themes – history, women, life, home, food, art and religion. The exhibition was visited by over 500 people, some from as far afield as France, London, Totnes, Derby, Edinburgh and Manchester.
The conceptualisation, promotion and realisation of the exhibition was the brainchild of Robin Layfield, webmaster of the PHT Project's website.
Another Stroud resident, Mark Epton designed the printed promotional material for the Project.
Robin Layfield introduced the speakers at the opening event on 17 February. Stroud's deputy mayor, Margaret Poulton, welcomed and formally opened the exhibition. Jan Chalmers, co-chair of the PHT Project, went on to give an account of the PHT Project's development since its initiation in 2012, inspired initially by other examples of histories illustrated with stitch, such as the Bayeux and Keiskamma tapestries.
The Tapestry is currently composed of nearly 100 panels, which, together, measure nearly 80 metres. Jan drew attention to Stroud's longstanding production of red and blue fabric for the British army and navy with Gaza's production of fabric for Palestinian dresses (thobes) and carpets. Jan showed contemporary examples of embroidered cushion covers made in Stroud and Gaza and the dramatic contrast between the rural panorama of Stroud and the devastation of Gaza resulting from repeated military assaults and the siege implemented by Israel and Egypt since 2006.
The family of the second speaker, Haya Awad Abdalhadi, has been in Gaza since the 1948 Nakba (catastrophe). Her grandmother was forced to leave her village (Al Khisas) in Northern Palestine, and eventually ended up in Gaza where she met and married Haya's grandfather.
Haya is a 26-year-old English Language and Literature graduate who has been working in the humanitarian field, initially as a volunteer with Première Urgence Internationale, then, after graduation, with Médecins du Monde–France, International Medical Corps, and Aisha Association for Woman and Child Protection. She has experienced at first hand the drastic effects on daily life caused by the siege of Gaza, and she witnessed the results of the devastating assaults on the Gaza Strip in 2008/9, 2012, and 2014. She is currently studying for a Master's degree in Development and Emergency Practice at Oxford Brookes University.
Gill Yudkin, one of the Patrons of the PHT Project, was the last speaker at the Stroud Exhibition's opening event. She is a retired general practitioner, who worked in inner London before retirement. Her work in the charitable sector began in Tanzania in the 1960s and continued after she retired from general practice. A visit to Israel/Palestine in 2008 under the aegis of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions confirmed Gill's determination to support Palestinian people "living under the yoke of the Israeli occupation". She joined a small, secular Jewish grant-giving charity – the British Shalom-Salaam Trust (BSST – www.bsst.org.uk), which she has chaired since 2009.
BSST makes small grants to grassroots projects that that challenge oppression and disadvantage within Israel and Palestine – for example, the Palestine Trauma Centre in Gaza , and the Arteam Garden Library, South Tel Aviv's only community centre for asylum-seeking and migrant workers' children and their parents (see illustration).
The opening event of the Stroud exhibition concluded with a session for questions and a stream of appreciative comments. This augured well for the six following days of the exhibition, which made clear that the hard, preparatory work had achieved more than anyone had dared hope for.

5 Seconds of Summer, "Wildflower"
Watch 5 Seconds of Summer's Psychedelic New 'Wildflower' Video
5 Seconds of Summer unveiled their dreamy new video for "Wildflower" on Thursday (April 16), and it's a colorful fantasy land that matches perfectly with the song's happy, falling in love theme.
The colorful Andy DeLuca and Sarah Eiseman-directedvisual came to life after the band's original shoot was cancelled amid the coronavirus crisis. Instead, the boys shot "Wildflower" individually on a green screen at each band member's doorway.
The result is a kaleidoscopic fantasy world that sees the band giddily singing among animated flowers and tie-dyed backgrounds. "You're the only one who makes me / Every time we / I'll tell you what I like / My wildflower," they sing in the chorus.
"Wildflower was the wildcard of the album. A song that has opened new avenues for this band to explore," Calum Hood said in a press statement. "Most importantly it just feels good to listen to and disconnect for a minute. We really feel this video reflects that too and hope you all enjoy!"
"Wildflower" is featured on 5SOS' latest album, Calm. Watch the video below.

The contents of the panel nonewithstanding, but am I the only one who thinks using a 360° "VR" camera to film a panel at a convention is the most counterproductive use of technology ever?
It's a panel. I don't want to watch the people in the audience. Or the floor. Or the ceiling. Or the door where people come in. I want to see the panelists. That are now blurry and awkwardly projected, and so small you can't actually observe their facial expressions when they speak.
And there are slides in the video! Great! Only that they're too small and blurry to read.

I agree with this. It's a pity, because it seems like a really interesting idea. In addition, my computer, which is a MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM that's only 1 year old and plays PoE quite playably for the most part, doesn't really play this video acceptably.
I was starting to accept the subpar framerate I got at just 1080P, but then starting just before 6 min, big portions of the audio started to drop out, making it impossible to keep following what was being said. IDK if this is just my computer's issue, or if it's a fault of the video itself.

yeah, interesting, but sound was bad, and couldn't see the slides ... Good idea to work on an area in public

Humans Leave a Telltale Residue on Earth
Scientists find a layer of plastics, radiation and soot embedded in the planet's surface, defining a new Anthropocene epoch
By David Biello on January 7, 2016
Evidence for a new geologic epoch continues to accumulate, like layers of sediment that over time harden into strata. Although those who study the branch of geology known as stratigraphy—the study of those strata and their resolution into Earth's vast geologic time scale—will continue to debate the idea of the Anthropocene for what may seem like eons, the record in the rock continues to pile up.
"This Anthropocene signal is global, it is sharp and all the signs are big," argues geologist Jan Zalasiewicz of Leicester University, chair of the group tasked with making a formal recommendation on the potential for a human-made, future-looking epoch. Twenty-four members of that working group, including Zalasiewicz, have just published their compilation of the gathering evidence in the January 8 Science. "A real geological phenomenon is taking place, it is still going on. In many respects, it's accelerating even as we speak."
The present geologic epoch is known as the Holocene, or "entirely recent," stretching back 11,700 years before 1950 to when the last ice age began to melt and raised sea levels by roughly 120 meters over a few millennia. During that transition, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere increased by roughly one part per million per century. More recently, however, CO2 levels have been increasing by two ppm per year, and rather than slowly returning to an ice age the world has become ever warmer, melting more ice. The rapid increase in excess CO2 comes from the fossil fuel burning and land use of one species that first appeared approximately 200,000 years ago: Homo sapiens.
In fact, rapid development of technology, swelling population and growing consumption of resources from crops to metals have expanded humanity's impacts, particularly after 1950 or so, an inflection point some have dubbed the "Great Acceleration." People have created long-lasting new materials, ranging from copper alloys to plastics that will form long-lived, so-called "technofossils." Enough concrete has been made by now to cover every square meter of the world in a kilogram of the building material. Sufficient plastic is currently manufactured each year to weigh as much as all seven billion–plus humans on the planet. People move nearly three times as much rock and dirt via mining than the amount that travels with water through all the world's rivers. Modern chemistry has even liberated civilization from the natural nitrogen cycle that has prevailed for the last 2.5 billion years. And tiny soot particles left over after burning coal, oil and natural gas now can be found in sediments from tropical lakes to the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a permanent smudge on the geologic record.
As a result, the study authors argue, Earth has entered a new epoch that is "functionally and stratigraphically distinct from the Holocene," in the words of the paper laying out the case. Humanity has even reconfigured the course of future evolution by shifting plants and animals around the globe or eliminating certain species—the same biological markers known as index fossils and used to define most of the time intervals that divide the last 540 million years, an eon known as the Phanerozoic.
Key questions remain, however, such as when specifically this new epoch began—whether it is old and pegged to the advent of farming or widespread burning of landscapes by ancient ancestors or is very new. In fact, some, including Zalasiewicz, have proposed a very precise start date for the Anthropocene: July 16, 1945, the date of the first test of an atomic bomb at Alamogordo, N.M., and the beginning of the spread of rare radioactive elements like plutonium around the globe. The roots of the Anthropocene may reach back into the Pleistocene but the most evident signs point to a new epoch that began around 1950 when human population and many other signals like bomb testing really took off, leaving manufactured radionuclides that will be detectable for at least 100,000 years.
The real hard work of Anthropocene stratigraphy has yet to be conducted or even attempted. For example, examining the strata forming off the California coast to look for plutonium and soot. "That is science that will need some organization and some money," Zalasiewicz notes, adding that one could also look for the shells of microscopic animals waxing and waning in the most recent strata or when rat teeth begin to appear on different islands. "Yes, the signal is pretty big but correlating Anthropocene deposits between Florida and Pennsylvania, let alone the coast of Papua New Guinea and Patagonia, using fossils requires detailed successions," he adds. "Generations of geologists sweated over that for Jurassic ammonites and Silurian graptolites."
And there is not even agreement within the working group itself on whether to propose formalizing the epoch, let alone its beginning, several participants note. "Many find it difficult to accept that an epoch that is so short in duration can be adequately recognized in geological successions, let alone the utility of it being formalized," says stratigrapher Colin Waters of the British Geological Survey, lead author of the new analysis.
The Anthropocene may be a new name but it is not a new idea, and has been called everything from the upper Holocene to the Poubellian (from the French for garbage can). Not everyone in the geologic community or the wider world is convinced the new epoch is a good idea. Some note hubris or a tendency to overestimate human influence, others think the big changes like mass extinctions or climate change have yet to happen, still others wonder whether geologists should learn more from archaeologists to determine whether the Anthropocene might supersede much of the Holocene, given large-scale human impacts that stretch back thousands of years.
At base, however, the core argument is whether and how the historical and geologic records might merge. At some point in time, whether it is the beginning of the Anthropocene, the end of the Holocene or some other arbitrary date, the record in the rock and in human history match up. To record geologic events going forward it seems sensible to switch over to the human timescale tied to some crossover point that can be found in recent rocks of "radical change to the entire Earth system," in Waters's words. On the other hand, the Anthropocene may exist, but what is it good for in terms of geology?
"The Anthropocene is a young science and we are working on this like a cottage industry, in bits of time in the evening," Zalasiewicz adds. "We are putting together ideas and then hoping to gather responses from people who can give us some sensible feedback from which we can eventually develop our formal recommendation."

Juhi Chawla goes down the memory lane
With Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga hitting the silver-screen next week, Juhi Chawla who is also a part of the movie goes down the memory lane of the 90s when 1942: A Love Story released and the song upon which the title is based became a rage.
"I had already started in films when the song Ek Ladki Ko Dekha was released. Even though the film 1942: A Love Story hadn't released yet, the song had become a rage in those days," recalls Juhi and adds, "Back then, most filmmakers would love to shoot in scenic foreign locations. While I was shooting in those locations, the entire team would be listening to the song throughout our journey. We heard it so many times."
Juhi admitted that Manisha had become a sensation after the movie released. "She looked so beautiful that we all started feeling that competition has arrived (smiles). Not only was the song beautiful but also Manisha's beauty which was very appealing," says Juhi.
Interestingly, the producer behind 1942: A Love Story and upcoming film Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga is the same. "It's really wonderful that this film is being produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra who was also the producer as well as director of 1942: A Love Story. To add a cherry to it is the father-daughter duo Anil Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor who are working in this film together. It is really wonderful to see all this," she concludes.

Minister of Finance and Planning, Dr. the Hon Peter Phillips (second right), speaking at the opening of the 2014/15 Budget Debate in the House of Representatives on Thursday, April 17. Listening (from left) are: Minister with responsibility for the Public Service, Hon. Horace Dalley; Minister with responsibility for Housing, Hon. Dr. Morais Guy; Minister of Youth and Culture, Hon. Lisa Hanna and Prime Minister the Most Hon. Portia Simpson Miller.
A sum of $2 billion has been earmarked in the Budget to bolster the Students Loan Bureau's (SLB) ability to lend to tertiary students.
The allocation will allow the lending agency to meet the anticipated demand at the same level, as was satisfied last fiscal year.
The Minister informed that the Board of the SLB has approved a number of policy changes, which are expected to make it easier for students to qualify for loans.
Minister of Finance and Planning, Dr. the Hon. Peter Phillips, informed that the allocation will allow the lending agency to meet the anticipated demand at the same level, as was satisfied last fiscal year.
"There is a provision of $2 billion, which when added to the expected collections and funds in hand, will meet the demand projected to be approximately $4.8 billion," he stated, while opening the 2014/14 Budget Debate in the House of Representatives on April 17.
In the meantime, the Minister informed that the Board of the SLB has approved a number of policy changes, which are expected to make it easier for students to qualify for loans and reduce the overall delinquency rate.
Among the proposed changes is the decision to extend the moratorium period for particular target groups of beneficiaries. These include nurses, pharmacists, and mechanical engineers.
"Whereas now there is a fixed moratorium period for all SLB beneficiaries, which ends on December 31 of the year in which their course ended, the moratorium period will be extended for these groups to include the time before they are licensed to practise their profession, instead of the December when their courses are finished," Dr. Phillips explained.
He said this will ensure that the beneficiaries have a capacity to earn before they are required to start repaying their loans.
The SLB will also be implementing a two-tiered system of interest rates. This, he said, will ensure that the interest rates during the moratorium period will be lower than the interest charged during the payment period. This is expected to reduce the monthly payments for the beneficiaries.
Requirements pertaining to guarantors have also changed. Among the changes is the requisite age range for sponsors. Dr. Phillips noted that whereas guarantors previously could not be older than 60 years old, this rule is now being relaxed, so that guarantors may be accepted beyond the age of 60. This will be done on a case by case basis, depending on their financial capabilities and providing they fulfil the other stated requirements.
The SLB is also relaxing the rule whereby one guarantor could only provide a guarantee for one student. "Now an individual with the financial means will be able to provide guarantees for up to a maximum of three students, provided that he/she proves to be financially capable," the Minister informed.
It is also proposed that the interest due on outstanding loans to the SLB will not be calculated any longer in the current 'add on' basis, but on the reducing balance, thus reducing the monthly payment for beneficiaries who pay.
These changes and others should go a far way toward making student loans more accessible and more affordable to potential beneficiaries, the Finance Minister said.

A couple more photos from the allotment. We managed to get out in the sunshine again and pull out some more weeds. They just never stop. It's fun though and we have a good time. Well, I have a good time, directing my Unterstift* while he does all the work. No, I do actually get my hands dirty too.
It's just all so green and lush right now.
*Unterstift I think this is a Swiss word. The boys use/d it to mean someone who is in the same apprenticeship as they are but in a lower year. A person a year above them would be an Oberstift, a person on the same level as them would be a Mitstift.

How I Made It: A Dominican Doula in a Not so Diverse Profession
By Maya Cueva May 16, 2018
Elizabeth Pérez is a Dominican-American doula who works to empower young expectant mothers of color living in New York City. Born and raised in New York City, Pérez got her start in doula work after her sister encouraged her to do the training. Now, she assists women before and after they give birth. She found a balance by having a private practice and working with an organization called By My Side through Healthy Start Brooklyn, which provides free doula support that includes prenatal and postpartum services for low-income women.
But the doula profession hasn't always been the most diverse in terms of both the clientele and those within the doula community.
In this segment of "How I Made It," Pérez, who identifies as Black and Latina, shares what it's like to be breaking out in a profession that is largely dominated by white women and about wanting to provide doula support for low-income women of color.

Q: Format Datatable once all the data has been loaded I am trying out datatables. That is the example I am looking at, when I try it when I refresh the page I get ALL the items showing, not just the first 10 and pagination.
However when I do a filter/search, then the table works i.e its re-formatted showing 10 items and pagination. I have placed the following script to "force" the limit of 10 items and pagination but it doesn't work.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.2/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css"></style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.datatables.net/1.10.2/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>

...

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('#example').dataTable( {
      "paging": true,
      "pageLength": 10,
      "lengthMenu": [10,15],
      "displayLength": 10
    } )

});
</script>

It seems that the script is not executed until I try to filter the table or change the items displayed. The default behaviour seems to be show everything.
How can I change it so the default behaviour is show 10 items and set the pagination up. I'm using firefox and chrome, as well as the latest bootstrap

***************Found it*************

Sorry the error was that I was using an older version of jquery, at least that what it seems
I've changed
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

to
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

and simplified the script to
        <script>

        $(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').DataTable( {
        "lengthMenu": [[10, 25, 50, -1], [10, 25, 50, "All"]],

    } );
} );
        </script>

And it's worked fine


The sheriff receives a minimum statutory compensation amount according to county population class. T.C.A. § 8-24-102. Pursuant to T.C.A. § 8-24-102(g), compensation for the sheriff must be at least 10 percent higher than the salary paid to the general officers of the county. However, the county legislative body may increase the compensation of the sheriff above the minimum amount required by the state law. T.C.A. §§ 8-24-103 and 8-24-111.
At their first session in each and every year, the county legislative body is required to make an allowance that they in their discretion think sufficient to compensate the sheriff for ex officio services. T.C.A. §§ 5-9-101(6), 8-24-111. The county legislative body is authorized to pay the sheriff an amount, in addition to the salary allowed by T.C.A. § 8-24-102, for ex officio services as the superintendent of the workhouse if the workhouse is combined with the jail as provided for by Title 41, Chapter 2.

Q: SAS: How SAS handles color assignment when color not specified in SYMBOL statement Question: What line of reasoning leads SAS to plot the MaxHR using squares despite triangles having been specified in the SYMBOL2 statement?
Using SAS 9.4:
symbol1 interpol=spline value=square;
symbol2 interpol=spline value=triangle;
proc gplot data=sasuser.stresstest;
   plot  RestHR*Date
         MaxHR*date
           /overlay;
run;
quit;

Enter Gumshoe Mode
tl;dr: How do SYMBOL statements operate?
The only explanation I have been able to find is that the SAS/GRAPH software cycles each SYMBOL statement through the current list of colors before moving on to the next SYMBOL statement.  Since the first two colors in the the list are blue and red, the SYMBOL2 statement isn't needed and so isn't used.
The documentation for "How SYMBOL Definitions are Generated" echoes much of this, as well as the "Controlling Consecutive SYMBOL Statements".
It appears that the behavior of SYMBOL statements is controlled primarily by color designations.  There exists a mysterious default color list directing the compilers actions and it is only when that list has been exhausted that, in the absence of explicit color declarations within each SYMBOL statement, a subsequent SYMBOL statement will be processed.
As global options, SYMBOL statements seem like they should operate similar to ODS listing or LIBNAME declarations in that
1) the documentation literally calls them

TYPE: Global

and
2) the documentation states

SYMBOL definitions can be defined anywhere in your SAS program. They are global and remain in effect until canceled or until you end your SAS session.

By the Global Statements by Category documentation, SYMBOL statements appear to fall within the "Data Access" category.  Yet, as evidenced by the example I have provided, they don't behave that way.  Each subsequent ODS output or LIBNAME statement is evaluated whereas each subsequent SYMBOL statement may or may not be.
So, how do SYMBOL statements operate?

A: Ugh - after a bit of testing it seems that unless you specify the color option on the symbol statement it just ignores symbol statements (other than the first).
Code showing problem:
goptions reset=all border;

symbol1 interpol=spline value=triangle;
symbol2 interpol=spline value=circle  ;
symbol3 interpol=spline value=square  ;

proc gplot data=sashelp.stocks;
   plot open*date=stock / hminor=0;;
run;
quit;

Fix:
Simply add the color to the end of the symbol statements:
symbol1 interpol=spline value=triangle c=steelblue;
symbol2 interpol=spline value=circle   c=indigo   ;
symbol3 interpol=spline value=square   c=orchid   ;

Original Image:

Fixed Image:

EDIT: I definitely agree with Reeza - start switching to proc sgrender which has much better documentation and support and produces better looking charts.  Not only that but proc gplot is now basically a legacy proc.

A: This is expected behavior. If you do not specify a COLOR on the SYMBOL statement then SAS/GRAPH will repeat the SYMBOL statement until it has used up the list of colors you have set.
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/graphref/67881/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n0c0j84n1e2jz9n1bhkn41o3v0d6.htm

Each time a default definition is required, SAS/GRAPH takes the first
  default plot symbol or line type and uses it with the first color in
  the color list. If more than one definition is required, it uses the
  same plot symbol or line type with the next color in the color list.
  It continues until all the colors have been used once. If more
  definitions are needed, SAS/GRAPH selects the second default plot
  symbol or line type and rotates it through the color list. It
  continues in this fashion, selecting default plot symbols or line
  types and cycling them through the color list until all the required
  definitions are generated.

You can prevent this by setting a COLOR on the SYMBOL statement. Or

A color can be specified with the CSYMBOL= option in the GOPTIONS
  statement. In this case, each default plot symbol or line type is used
  once with the specified color, and the colors in the color list are
  ignored

These seven interaction sins capture some of the common missteps that can trip up leaders—at all levels—when it comes to conducting effective conversations.
LEADERS SPEND A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THEIR TIME engaged in interactions.
These interactions consist of countless conversations leaders have every day with their colleagues, customers, and clients. According to Development Dimensions International's new research, "Driving Workplace Performance through High-Quality Conversations: What leaders must do every day to be effective" (http://www.ddiworld.com/productivity/overview), the ability to effectively manage and carry out impactful conversations is at the heart of successful leadership and is critical at every level.
For front-line leaders, conversations are part of launching new products, facilitating customer interactions, or coaching team members. Even making good decisions largely can depend on how input from others is sought out. We often assume that interaction skills are mastered as leaders move up the ladder since they have been at it longer, but nothing is further from the truth. The importance of interaction skills is even greater at higher leadership levels.
Straight to fixing the problem: Leaders recognized for getting things done jump straight to the solution before they understand the situation.
One size fits all: A developed, preferred style can make leaders oblivious to the impact they are or are not having on situations or individuals.
Avoiding the tough issues: Often leaders lack the skills and insights to diffuse situations or tackle areas perceived as sensitive and may leave them unresolved.
Inconsistent application across different contexts: Skills readily deployed in one situation may not be applied in another and should be.
Influencing through the facts only: Leaders need to spend more time understanding others' perspectives and not solely rely on logic and rationale.
Spotting opportunities for change but forgetting to engage others: While leaders often recognize needs for change, they don't proactively encourage others to develop ideas, they oversimplify, or show little appreciation for the impact of change.
Not coaching in the moment. Generally effective in clarifying required performance, dialoguing, and offering support, leaders often neglect to coach through a process.

Victoza: New Treatment Option for Youth with Type 2 Diabetes
What Is the Best Milk for People with Diabetes?
Home » Live Well » Diabetes Management
FDA OK's liraglutide (Victoza) injections for pediatric patients 10 years and older.
Written by Kathleen Doheny

A new treatment option is now available for children 10 years and older with type 2 diabetes, thanks to the FDA's OK of liraglutide (Victoza). Already approved and used by adults, Victoza is the first non-insulin drug approved to treat type 2 diabetes in pediatric patients since 2000, when metformin was OK'd.1
The new option, an injection, is both welcome and overdue, doctors who treat children with type 2 diabetes told OnTrackDiabetes. "We are excited because there haven't been other options for children that are FDA-approved except metformin and insulin," says Griselda ("Gia") Alvarez, MD, a pediatric endocrinologist at UCLA Health and a health sciences clinical assistant professor of pediatrics at UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine.
Jane Lynch, MD, chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics' Section on Endocrinology, and professor of pediatrics at the University of Texas Health San Antonio, agrees. "Insulin and metformin are inadequate for managing type 2 diabetes in many children," she says. While adults with type 2 diabetes have many options, she says, children do not. She was an investigator on a study that assessed liraglutide in pediatric patients.

5 Ways to Prevent Prediabetes from Becoming Diabetes
While type 2 diabetes mainly occurs in adults over the age of 45, it is becoming more common in younger patients during the last couple of decades, the FDA says. Every year in the US about 5,000 new cases of type 2 diabetes are diagnosed among US youth younger than age 20.2
Since the drug is already on the market and used by adults, health care providers can begin writing prescriptions for Victoza for children immediately if they feel it is an appropriate treatment, says Michael Bachner, a spokesperson for Novo Nordisk, the drug maker. (Some doctors, in fact, were prescribing the drug off-label in their young patients, a practice that is acceptable and legal if the health care provider feels the drug will benefit the patient.)
Now that the drug is approved for pediatric patients, ''insurance coverage will vary, depending on the individual plan," Bachner says.
How Victoza Works
The drug helps improve blood sugar levels by creating the same effects in the body as a protein known as the glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) receptor protein in the pancreas. In those with type 2 diabetes, levels of this protein are often too low.
The drug mimics what the protein does—slows digestion, prevents the liver from making too much glucose and helps the pancreas make more insulin when needed.
What the Research Shows in Children
The FDA approved the drug in children based on several studies done in adults and one study that compared Victoza with a placebo ("dummy") in pediatric patients for more than 26 weeks.3
In that study, known as the Ellipse Trial, researchers randomly assigned 134 children, ages 10 years to less than 17 years, to take either liraglutide, up to 1.8 milligrams a day, or placebo. (*Note: In the study both liraglutide and the placebo were visually-identical prefilled pen injectors.)
To be eligible for the study, the youth needed to have a body mass index more than the 85th percentile. If they had been treated with diet and exercise alone, their A1C for inclusion had to be between 7-11%. If they were treated with metformin, with or without insulin, their A1Cs were between 6.5-11% if they were included.3
The A1C test, a blood test, assesses average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months; an A1C of 5.7% is the beginning of prediabetes; when it reaches 6.5%, it is termed diabetes.
During the study, both groups were also given metformin.
The researchers looked at the change in A1C over the 26 weeks of the study. The average A1C decreased by .64 points with the drug and increased by .42 with the placebo. About 64% of the youth on the drug had a decline in their A1C below 7% while on the drug, but only 37% of those in the placebo group did, the FDA says. Adverse events were similar in the groups—most commonly nausea, vomiting, appetite decline, indigestion and constipation.
The results held in those who also took insulin, as well as in those who did not.
The pediatric patients who took Victoza had a higher risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) regardless of whether they also took other therapies for the diabetes, the FDA says.
There is also an increased risk of thyroid C-cell tumors with Victoza, as a boxed warning cautions So anyone who has a family history or personal history of medullary thyroid cancer, or MTC, should not use the drug. It's also not to be used in those who have an endocrine condition called MEN 2 (multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2).
What Else to Know
The new approval, and with it, insurance coverage for those who have insurance plans, will potentially mean more children may benefit, Dr. Lynch says. She recalls instances where families whose children could benefit from liraglutide did not get it, as the price without insurance coverage was out of reach.
In her experience, Dr. Alvarez finds that some children have trouble initially injecting themselves. "Most children do get used to it pretty fast," she says. And, she adds, it is just a once-a-day injection, not multiple.
Even with the new approval, Dr. Alvarez say she will continue to recommend diet and exercise and metformin initially and move on to liraglutide when those measures don't work well enough to manage blood sugar.
Dr. Alvarez has no disclosures; Dr. Lynch was a coinvestigator on the Ellipse study. She is on the Novo Nordisk global expert committee for type 2 diabetes in youth, a non-paid position.

Song Shiqiang accepts exclusive interview with Shenzhen satellite TV
At 8:30 p.m. on August 23, 2016, the financial life channel of Shenzhen satellite TV broadcast an exclusive interview with song Shiqiang, general manager of golden beacon. In response to an exclusive interview with Zhai Cuomo and Li Wensi of Shenzhen satellite TV's financial life channel, Mr. Song Shiqiang expressed his views on the development and transformation of Huaqiangbei small and medium-sized enterprises.
Based on the development of alloy navigation mark company in the past two years, song Shiqiang said that Shenzhen Golden navigation mark Electronics Co., Ltd. is a national high-tech enterprise and double soft enterprise growing up in Huaqiangbei. With the efforts of our colleagues, we have developed from an ordinary trader to the best agent and application solution in the Beidou industry. In terms of Beidou intelligent hardware and smart city, the "kingelm" series products developed and produced by the company have a very high market share and good reputation. The company's long-term plan is to lock in the field of new energy, successfully take shares in South Korea Sacco microelectronics company, which has mastered the core technology of silicon carbide SiC, and cut into the core value end of the new energy electronics industry. Sacco micro's silicon carbide power device is a world leader in the key points of epitaxial wafer culture, processing and production process. Jinhangbiao and South Korea Sacco micro established Shenzhen Sacco Micro Technology Co., Ltd. in Shenzhen, which is responsible for the promotion, channel construction and product sales of Sacco micro "slkor" brand in Greater China, and has made significant progress.
When the macro-economy continues to decline and the traditional model of Huaqiangbei is facing a crisis, where will Huaqiangbei, who once led the trend, go? Will it sink from then on, or will it make good use of the original advantages of Huaqiangbei and combine the characteristics of the new era to create brilliance? General manager song Shiqiang talked about some practical ideas from the rapid development ideas of golden beacon company in the past two years, combined with the current situation and development logic of Huaqiangbei's enterprises. Huaqiangbei's enterprises should make fundamental efforts to break through the encirclement and develop, get rid of the previous low-end homogeneous competition, and abandon counterfeiting. We should rely on new materials, new technologies, new products, new markets, new equipment and new models. The core is technological innovation, integrated innovation and model innovation. Only then can Huaqiangbei continue to lead the trend, bravely stand at the head of the tide and sing the wind.
Finally, Mr. Song Shiqiang said that as a member of Huaqiangbei, he has very deep feelings for Huaqiangbei and must work hard and offer suggestions for the development of Huaqiangbei. Huaqiangbei people, Huaqiangbei business district and Huaqiangbei spirit are magic weapons in North China. With the support of the media and the guidance of the government, Huaqiangbei must have a very bright future!
