GW pilot study finds collagen to be effective in wound closure
WASHINGTON (July 8, 2019) -- Collagen powder is just as effective in managing skin biopsy wounds as primary closure with non-absorbable sutures, according to a first-of-its-kind study published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology by a team of physician researchers at the George Washington University.
The team investigated the efficacy of topical collagen powder compared to primary closure on the rate and quality of full-thickness wound healing through histopathological analysis of healing and comparison of symptoms and early cosmetic outcomes.
Collagen is best known as an essential structural component of several organs, importantly the skin, but it also plays a pivotal role as a signaling molecule in the regulation of all phases of wound healing. Therefore, externally applied, collagen powder has significant potential for wound healing and care due to its ability to stop bleeding, to recruit immune and skin cells central to wound healing, as well as stimulate new blood vessel formation, and can be left in wounds without causing irritation or facilitating bacterial growth.
"During normal wound healing, collagen acts as a scaffold for cellular entry and growth in the wound bed and encourages the deposition of new collagen," said Adam Friedman, MD, interim chair of the Department of Dermatology at the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences and an author on the study. "While collagen has been used as a wound healing adjuvant, a good comparison to the standard of wound care has been lacking."
Friedman's team administered two punch biopsies to eight volunteers and treated one wound with a daily topical collagen powder and the other with primary closure. Wounds were biopsied at four weeks for analysis and subjects were asked to rate the itch, pain, and treatment preferences throughout the process.
The researchers found that six out of eight collagen-treated wounds were completely healed after four weeks after initial wounding and all wounds were completely healed eight weeks after the second biopsy. Patients reported similar pain and itch for both primary closure and collagen, with most attributing the itch to the adhesive dressings rather than the wound itself. The team concluded that based on these findings, wounds treated with collagen powder healed at least as well as those treated with primary closure and that the powder can be applied safely for at least four weeks.
"Given the cost and time to place and remove sutures and the potential reimbursement for collagen, using topical collagen powder for punch biopsy wounds may be easier on the patient, not requiring an additional visit for suture removal and yielding an equivalent or possibly better wound healing outcome," Friedman said. "Moving forward we need to further examine the parameters of collagen use on wounds, including duration of therapy and wound sizes."
The study, titled "A Head-to-Head Comparison of Topical Collagen Powder to Primary Closure for Acute Full-Thickness Punch Biopsy-Induced Human Wounds: An Internally Controlled Pilot Study," is published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology.

Book Corner: Emeritus professor chronicles his quest for a black swan
Oct 3, 2013 9:00 am by Liz Ahlberg | Physical Sciences Editor | 217-333-1085Campus LifePhysical Sciences
"Life at the Center of the Energy Crisis: A Technologist's Search for a Black Swan," published by World Scientific, was written by George H. Miley, a professor emeritus of nuclear, plasma and radiological engineering. Click photo to enlarge
The history of nuclear energy research from the height of the Cold War into space colonization of the future is detailed through one man's career in the new book "Life at the Center of the Energy Crisis: A Technologist's Search for a Black Swan," published by World Scientific.
A memoir of nuclear, plasma and radiological engineering professor emeritus George H. Miley, the book chronicles the 79-year-old Miley's careerlong quest for something new and paradigm-altering in the burgeoning energy industry.
"Simply put, a Black Swan is an unexpected event which has immense direction-changing implications," Miley writes in the book's preface. "That is, most of my research has been aimed at finding new phenomena which would have a dramatic impact on new energy sources and their applications."
The narrative begins as a young Miley, bright-eyed and eager, sets off to study chemical engineering and physics at Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon University), and follows him through adventures with nuclear submarines, lasers, nuclear fusion, hydrogen fuel cells, nuclear batteries, power plant safety, teaching, starting a company and more.
"As an individual researcher I saw the immediate problem, for example, high gas process, but I chose topics to work on that often were aimed at long-term improvements to energy sources," Miley wrote.
While somewhat chronologically organized, Miley divides his chapters into areas of research rather than historical eras. A timeline in the book's appendix helps the reader see when in the course of Miley's career, and more broadly in the history of energy development, certain technologies or branches of research came into play.
Miley's storytelling gives a sense of sitting in his office listening to his account of the people and events that shaped the energy landscape, or of being a student in his classroom as he explains the principles of fusion and fission or the structure of fuel cells. Miley includes pictures and graphics to set the historical tone and illustrate scientific concepts, both of which add to his colorful narrative.
Readers with an interest in the principles or the history of nuclear energy, or of its future in a post-Cold War era - could space colonization be made possible by fusion-propelled spacecraft? - will find much to interest them in this book. Alumni and students of the Illinois NPRE program would especially appreciate the insights and reminisces of the man who spent 50 years in the department and served as program chair, helping to develop the program and hiring many of the faculty members in the department today.
While Miley has yet to find his elusive black swan, his work has furthered energy research on a number of fronts. And though now retired from full-time work, he is determined to continue his quest. As he says in the book's optimistic final pages, "Much of the fun comes with the search."

The History of the T-Shirt
Above: A rare framework knitter still in use late in the nineteenth century, via
The t-shirt contains multitudes. It can be disheveled or neat, cheap or dear, masculine or feminine. But, unquestionably, it is an icon.
The specific beginnings of the t-shirt are hard to pinpoint. Most historians locate the birth of the tee in the U.S. armed forces, either in the late 1800s or early 1900s, probably in the navy.(1) The tee's origins are hard to pin down in part because the definition t-shirt is imprecise. The word does not enter the language, according to the Oxford English Dictionary until around 1920, despite existing in some form for nearly a decade or more before then. (The earliest quoted use in the OED is from F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel This Side of Paradise.) It is clear, however, that the t-shirt began as an undergarment. The French mariniere, which has more clear origins in the French navy in the mid-nineteenth century, shares some overlapping history with the t-shirt–naval origins, adoption by the young and hip in the mid-twentieth century–but the mariniere began as a sweater–outerwear rather than underwear. (It merits a post of its own.)
Above: Before knit undershirts came into favor, knit union suits (known alternatively as combination suits or long-handle underwear) were popular as a result of Victorian dress reform, via
The knitting frame or framework knitter was invented in England in the sixteenth century, and machine knitted stockings became commonplace soon after. Legend holds that Queen Elizabeth I refused a patent to the inventor William Lee because she feared the effects on the hosiery industry, or, more likely, backlash from the hosiers' guild saying. The framework knitter allowed the advent of ready-made stockings, some of the first ready-made garments to become available. Knit woolen undergarments became commonplace after improvements to knitting technology like water power, made production exponentially more efficient during the Industrial Revolution. Increased interest in hygiene in addition to ever-lowering prices made knit woolen undergarments must-haves across social classes.
Union Suits: The Grandfather of Onesies | For Women, For Men
For some time combinations or union suits were more popular than separates for men's knit underwear, but frame-knit undershirts were not uncommon by the mid-1800s. Union suits were an innovation of Victorian "dress reform," a proto-feminist movement to make women's clothing more comfortable, practical, sanitary, and all-around sensible. The union suit, a simple one piece garment made of knit cotton or wool, could replace the bulky and constricting corset and petticoats in fashion at the time. (This is also the era that gave us bloomers.) They soon became at least as popular among men as among women.
Above: Via
The precise moment at which the union suit began, as it were, to be cut in two to make an undershirt and underdrawers has never been precisely pinpointed. But union suits remained popular well into the twentieth century. A variety of undershirts, both with and without sleeves came and went around the turn of the century. At some point, probably around WWI, the U.S. military issued the first shirts that resemble the modern white cotton tee, and they began to be sold commercially by the early 30s. According to popular myth, college t-shirts were born soon after when the University of Southern California athletic department began printing "Property of USC" on their undershirts, and students were quickly clamoring to purchase their own. But the t-shirt did not reach iconic status until WWII, when images of soldiers and sailors stripped to their t-shirts began to pervade popular U.S. media. The t-shirt became a symbol for the youthful spirit of the boys overseas.
Above: The tank top or singlet, a close cousin off the t-shirt, came of age along with the tee. It was favored by artists who appreciated the freedom it offered. Shown here is Japanese-French artist Léonard Tsugouharu Foujita, c. 1920. via
From glamorizing the military in the 40s to lusting after working-class heroes (and villains let's be honest) like Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire and James Dean in the 50s, the t-shirt continued to gain momentum in the mid-twentieth century. A Life feature on the t-shirt from 1951, subtitled "Dad Won't Recognize His Old Undershirt–It's Got Glamour Now," calls the tee a "venerable American institution," that now "sometimes resembles a man's skivvy shirt in name only." The clothes in the accompanying images of young women would hardly pass as t-shirts now. Rather, I'd call them knit blouses. But the magazine's impulse to call anything knit and vaguely t-shaped a t-shirt shows the growing cultural weight of this once lowly garment.
Above: In the 1940s, images of sailors stripped to their undershirts became iconic, via
Since the 1950s, the t-shirt has found a home in nearly every cultural movement–its dominance as the generic torso covering of the second half of the twentieth century can hardly be challenged. T-shirts have been equally at home on hippies, punks, rappers, and boring people alike. Today, some devotees find something transcendent in the simplicity of the tee and spend considerable time and money to find that perfect fit, hand, and drape.

We'll probably never settle the whole Melbourne vs Sydney debate. (They have a Bridge, we have class. Let's just leave it at that.) But new information has come to light that is both disturbing and deeply, deeply unfair.
Queue-dodging app Skip just crunched the numbers on 150,000 coffee orders and found that Melburnians are paying 9% more for a large coffee than our harbour-loving cousins. Not only that, but it's getting worse.
The median price of a large coffee in Melbourne has now risen to $4.50. We don't know how many of you remember Year 7 stats, but that means there are coffees out there (probably in South Yarra, let's face it) that cost MORE than $4.50. What kind of sick capitalist system have we created here, people? Meanwhile Sydneysiders are laughing into their stupid, reasonably priced cappuccinos (the study also found Sydney people like cappuccinos—not surprising).
In other news, Tasmanians were found to skull the strongest coffee (tough nuts), while Melbourne is the only place in the country where 'Magic' is still a thing. Magic coffee, FYI, is a double ristretto topped with milk and served in a 150ml tulip cup, and only a 150ml tulip cup.


Varun Dhawan – Shraddha Kapoor's dance film with Remo D'Souza has been titled Street Dancer!
We were the first ones to reveal to you that Varun Dhawan – Shraddha Kapoor's dance film has been titled Street Dancer. Though the official confirmation had not come, our sources confirmed to us about the title. And we were bang on! The makers finally revealed to us today that the Remo D'Souza directorial will be called Street Dancer! Varun Dhawan tweeted a video revealing the logo and we have to say it is fabulous! We see Street Dancer written in a very modern, graffiti kind of font. We see 3 in the background too, clearly hinting at the fact that it is third part of the hit ABCD franchise. Though they have not said it officially, we hear it is the case!
Varun Dhawan even showed off his first look with the Street Dancer teaser poster that he launched today (February 04). The look is super hot and we are sure he will set the silver screen on fire! In fact, he even showed off his six pack abs, while also revealing the release date of the movie (November 08). In the meantime, stay tuned to Cine Blitz!

Cal Kestis est un personnage fictif de l'univers étendu de Star Wars, apparaissant pour la première fois dans le jeu vidéo Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order de Respawn Entertainment. Son histoire se déroule  après les évènements narrés dans Star Wars, épisode III : La Revanche des Sith.

Histoire

Résumé
L'histoire de Cal Kestis s'insère chronologiquement au sein de l'univers Star Wars entre l'épisode III et l'épisode IV, cinq ans après les événements relatés dans La Revanche des Sith.

Cal Kestis est un ancien padawan qui vit désormais dans la clandestinité, après avoir survécu à l'Ordre 66 décrété par l'empereur Palpatine et la grande purge de l'ordre Jedi qui s'est ensuivi. Désormais reconverti en ferrailleur sur la planète Bracca, son existence finit toutefois par être de nouveau bouleversée lorsque les Inquisiteurs impériaux, chargés de traquer et d'éradiquer les derniers Jedi, finissent par retrouver sa trace.

Pendant la guerre des clones
Cal Kestis était un padawan durant la guerre des clones, suivant l'apprentissage du maitre jedi  Jaro Tapal. L'élève et son maître faisaient alors partie du treizième bataillon de l'armée clone.

C'est après une mission victorieuse sur la planète Bracca que Palpatine ordonne aux troupes de Tapal d'exécuter l'ordre 66. Le maitre Jedi est alors capable de sentir des perturbations dans la Force et parvient à empêcher une première tentative d'assassinat. Il parvient un moment à retenir ses troupes, à saboter son vaisseau et à fuir avec son apprenti à bord d'une capsule de sauvetage, tandis que tous les soldats dont il avait le commandement périssent dans l'explosion du vaisseau. Mortellement blessé, il succombe dans les bras de son élève, après lui avoir transmis son sabre laser.

Après la Grande purge Jedi

Cinq ans après l'exécution de l'Ordre 66 et le début de la Grande purge Jedi, l'ancien padawan Cal Kestis se cache du nouvellement créé Empire galactique. Sur la planète Bracca, où il travaille comme ferrailleur sur des carcasses de vaisseaux de la guerre des clones, Cal utilise la Force pour sauver son ami Prauf d'une chute mortelle. L'incident est enregistré par un droïde sonde impérial, qui relaie l'information à l'Empire. Celui-ci envoie deux inquisiteurs — les Deuxième et Neuvième Sœurs, dont la mission est de traquer les survivants de l'ordre Jedi — pour poursuivre Cal. Ce dernier parvient à s'échapper, tandis que Prauf y laisse la vie, engageant brièvement la Deuxième Sœur en combat avant d'être secouru par une ancienne Jedi, Cere Junda, et son partenaire pilote Greez Dritus dans leur navire, le Stinger Mantis.

Cere emmène Cal sur la planète Bogano, en espérant qu'il puisse accéder à un ancien sanctuaire sans lui en expliquer clairement les raisons. En chemin, Cal se lie d'amitié avec un petit droïde nommé BD-1, qui lui montre un message d'un ancien maître Jedi nommé Eno Cordova. Le message révèle que le sanctuaire a été construit par une civilisation ancienne, les Zeffo, et qu'un holocron Jedi contenant une liste d'enfants sensibles à la Force a été caché à l'intérieur par Cordova. Cere pense que cette liste pourrait aider à reconstruire l'Ordre Jedi, mais le seul moyen d'y accéder est de suivre les traces de Cordova. Cal se dirige ainsi vers le monde natal de Zeffo et explore un ancien temple. Là, il trouve un indice pointant vers un ami de Cordova, le chef des Wookiees, Tarfful, sur la planète Kashyyyk.

Sur Kashyyyk, Cal détourne un AT-AT impérial et se dirige vers les forêts, rencontrant en chemin le célèbre insurgé Saw Gerrera. Cal fait équipe avec les rebelles pour vaincre les forces impériales et libérer leurs travailleurs esclaves Wookiees. Incapable de trouver Tarfful, Cal retourne sur Zeffo pour trouver plus d'indices concernant le coffre où est caché l'holocron. Là, il est pris en embuscade par la Deuxième Sœur, qui se révèle être l'ancienne Padawan de Cere, Trilla Suduri, qui avait été capturée par l'Empire après que Cere ait révélé, sous la torture, où elle se cachait. De nouveau, Cal parvient à lui échapper ; Trilla parvient toutefois à l'avertir que Cere le trahira inévitablement, tôt ou tard.

Cal apprend qu'il doit trouver un artefact Zeffo appelé l'Astrium pour déverrouiller le coffre, mais est ensuite capturé avec BD-1 par un chasseur de primes de la Nuée d'Haxion. Il est forcé de combattre différents ennemis dans une arène de gladiateurs appartenant à Sorc Tormo, le patron d'Haxion qui lui apprend que Greez a d'énormes dettes de paris. Cal et BD-1 sont secourus par Cere et Greez, puis reçoit une communication de Tarfful, qui est prêt à le rencontrer. De retour sur Kashyyyk, Tarfful demande à Cal de chercher des réponses en haut de l'Arbre des Origines. Lors de son ascension, il est attaqué par la Neuvième Sœur, dont le vaisseau est abattu par une grande créature ailée. Cal trouve la créature blessée par l'attaque et la soigne, lui permettant d'accéder au sommet de l'Arbre des Origines par la voie des airs. Il trouve un enregistrement de Cordova lui disant qu'un Astrium peut être trouvé dans une tombe Zeffo sur Dathomir. Cal est de nouveau attaquée par la Neuvième Sœur et la vainc.

Sur Dathomir, la progression de Cal est entravée par Merrin, une sœur de la nuit qui blâme les Jedi pour le massacre de son peuple pendant la guerre des clones, causé par le Général Grievous, et tente de l'éloigner en invoquant une armée de revenants. Cal a par la suite une vision de son ancien maître, Jaro Tapal, se sacrifiant pour le protéger pendant l'Ordre 66, puis est attaqué par l'esprit de Jaro, entraînant la destruction du cristal de son sabre laser. Cal rencontre ensuite l'ancien Jedi Taron Malicos, qui s'est écrasé sur Dathomir pendant la Purge et cherche à apprendre la magie des sœurs de la nuit. Malicos propose d'enseigner à Cal comment gérer ce pouvoir sombre, mais il refuse et s'enfuit après que Merrin les a attaqués tous les deux avec une armée de mortes-vivantes.

À bord du Mantis, Cere admet que lorsqu'elle a appris que Trilla est devenue une Inquisitrice, elle est brièvement tombée du côté obscur, c'est pourquoi elle a choisi de se couper de la Force. Après avoir voyagé sur Ilum pour reconstruire son sabre laser, Cal retourne sur Dathomir, où il récupère l'Astrium et surmonte sa culpabilité pour sa part de responsabilité dans la mort de Jaro. Malicos essaie à nouveau de tenter Cal vers le côté obscur, mais Cal le combat et est capable de le vaincre avec l'aide de Merrin, qui enterre Malicos vivant sur Dathomir. Merrin accepte alors de rejoindre l'équipage du Mantis.

L'équipage revient sur Bogano, où Cal utilise l'Astrium pour déverrouiller le coffre-fort du sanctuaire et s'emparer de l'holocron, mais il est à nouveau attaqué par Trilla, qui le lui vole et parvient à s'échapper après que Cal l'ait vaincue. De retour sur le Mantis, Cere choisit de renouer avec son statut de Maître Jedi et accorde à Cal le rang de Chevalier. Ensemble, ils attaquent le quartier général de l'Inquisition Impériale, une station sous-marine cachée dans les eaux de la planète Nur. Cal atteint la chambre d'interrogatoire où il affronte de nouveau Trilla, la vainc et récupère l'holocron.

Cere intervient alors, faisant amende honorable auprès de Trilla pour la ramener du côté obscur. Mais alors que Trilla semble sauvée, Dark Vador surgit et la tue pour son échec. Incapable de vaincre Vador, Cal et Cere échappent à grand peine à son emprise avec l'aide de BD-1 et Merrin. De retour sur le Mantis, Cal — ayant réalisé que trouver et rassembler les enfants listés sur l'holocron en ferait des cibles faciles pour l'Empire — choisit de détruire l'holocron, estimant qu'il était préférable pour ces enfants de découvrir leur propre destin, sans interférence extérieure...

Cal Kestis est un combattant talentueux. Bien que sensible à la force, il n'est pas un jedi lors des évènements narrés dans Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. S'il reçoit auprès de Jaro Tapal une formation de jedi, il interrompt cette dernière lors de la mort de son maître et ne devient chevalier jedi que lors des évènements narrés dans Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, alors qu'il a dix-sept ans.

Il rejoint alors la liste des quelques Jedi, parmi lesquels se trouvent Anakin Skywalker ayant atteint le rang de chevalier Jedi avant l'âge de vingt ans.

Nick Calandra critique le caractère froid et insensible du personnage : il ne montre que peu de réactions lors de la mort de son ami Prauf et ne semble regretter que la mort de son maître.

Apparence et voix
Sa voix et sa capture de mouvement sont interprétées par Cameron Monaghan.

Stig Asmussen, réalisateur de Fallen Order, explique le choix de prendre un homme comme protagoniste du jeu par la volonté de proposer un pendant à Rey, personnage principal de la dernière trilogie.

One of the goals I had for the visit to the recent Creativefuture 2010 conference was a "conversation" with the outstanding new Wacom Cintiq pad. Each professional is very careful about his working tools, therefore I went straight to the Wacom's stand. There was a thick crowd of curious people and I had very limited time for the test drive – others were lining up behind me. I waited diligently in the line and started the "tasting" process.
Nearly every computer in our company has a graphics tablet connected to it. This fact is easy to explain, since we are all designers. Today yet another "pet" was adopted by our office: Wacom Bamboo Fun M Pen&Touch. I want to take this chance to share my personal impressions on this tablet.

010-150 dumps He stood there for a long time. Tami Joan and John desperately retreated until they reached the other Testprepwell side of the door, Learnguidepdf holding two sweaty bodies tightly together. The drivers hand bent into the shape of a cup, blocking the lights shone on 010-150 dumps the street light, 300-208 Dumps Exam looked at 300-208 Dumps Exam them CISA Dumps Study Guide more carefully. Suddenly, a loud noise echoed in the air. Tameron could not help but constricted a while, and John made a short, screaming scream. Behind the driver, the air in the distance was filled with bright red and blue flame stripes instantly. Then again is a few roar and Prepexamwell scream. The driver turns and looks Learnguidepdf up, just to see a huge, orange-red CISA Dumps Study Guide cobweb over Testprepwell the city. It was a fireworks, and Tamie remembered the news read in the newspaper. It is a gift Testprepwell from the host and the Secretary-General of the United Nations to Testprepwell the delegates attending the conference and welcomes them to this great city on Earth. The driver turned toward the taxi again. Pat soon, he opened the door lock, slowly opened the door. 2 As usual, the informant did not leave a name. Learnguidepdf Therefore, there is CISA Dumps Study Guide no other way to pour back into the past to understand Learnguidepdf what the reporter 010-150 dumps said is a piece of open space. The headquarters radio said He said it was on the Learnguidepdf 37th Street near Eleventh Street. Those at the Notification Center never figured out where the exact location of the murder was. Although it is nine oclock in the morning, it has made people sweat more than hot. Emilia Shakes lay aside a tall grass thatch. She is conducting a search of light – a jargon of crime scene investigators – searching for CISA Dumps Study Guide suspicious objects with an S-shaped route. Nothing at all She looked down at the intercom on 300-208 Dumps Exam the dark blue uniform shirt. Patrolman 5885 calls headquarters without any notice. Do you have any further news The dispatcher replied in a bumpy noise 5885, there is no more information about the scene of the crime at the moment, but one thing The informant Testprepwell said he hoped 010-150 dumps the victim was dead. Please say it again, headquarters. The complainant said he hoped the victim was already dead. He said it would be best if so. Finished. Hopefully the victim Dead Shakes struggled across Learnguidepdf a broken barbed wire and began 300-208 Dumps Exam searching for another piece of Prepexamwell open space. Still not found. She wants to leave. Just call 10-90, report that without any discovery, you 010-150 dumps can return Testprepwell to the Si Si area, it is her Prepexamwell daily patrol area. Her knees hurt and she felt as if she had been roasted on a terrible August day. She just wanted to slip to the Port Authority and get stuck with the Learnguidepdf Little Furrier there and come Prepexamwell back to a large can of Arizona iced tea. Then, at eleven thirty – just two hours now – she was able to clear the drawers in the south section 300-208 Dumps Exam of Midtown and go to the lower town for training. But she finally did not do CISA Dumps Study Guide this. She Testprepwell can not leave Learnguidepdf this briefing without answering the phone call. As she continued to move Testprepwell on, she walked along the hot sidewalk through the path between the two 300-208 Dumps Exam abandoned apartments and into another covered, planted area. She slid 010-150 dumps her slender forefinger down 010-150 dumps into her flat-top hat Testprepwell and scratched it with irresistible restraints through layers of long, red hair on her head. In Prepexamwell order to scratch more scalp, she simply faded her Prepexamwell cap side, while crazy scratch. Sweat streaming down her forehead, itchy, so she fiercely blew a few brows.
She was thinking Only the last two hours of patrolling in the street were available, 300-208 Dumps Exam and I could survive. Shakes continued. The first time she felt uneasy this morning as she walked into a bush. Someone is watching me. The hot wind blew through the dry bushes and made the rustling sound. A car truck ran full steam ahead of the 300-208 Dumps Exam Lincoln Tunnel. She remembered one thing Prepexamwell the patrolmen would often think of the 300-208 Dumps Exam Testprepwell city was so noisy that I could not detect if someone came back to me behind me and walked Learnguidepdf to lift me up with a knife. Learnguidepdf Or take my back as a target She turned quickly. Nothing except leaves, rusty machines and rubbish. When CISA Dumps Study Guide climbing a pile of stones, the knee pain so she could not help but shrink body. Emily Shakes, 31, is afflicted with joint inflammation – Testprepwell Prepexamwell her mother often says youre 31 Testprepwell It is inherited from her grandfather, just as she inherited her mothers good figure, her fathers good looks and occupation as long as the red 010-150 dumps hair no one can say it. 010-150 dumps She slowly passed CISA Dumps Study Guide through a cluster 010-150 dumps of Prepexamwell dead shrubs, a sharp pain on her knees. Thanks to her prompt closing, she did not drop a Prepexamwell steep 30-foot 300-208 Dumps Exam deep slope. Below her was a gloomy gorge 010-150 dumps that cut Prepexamwell deeply through the bottom of the West End. The railroad tracks of the U.S. Railroad Passenger Transport Company run through the canyon and the train goes to the north. She narrowed her eyes Testprepwell and looked to the bottom of the canyon not far from the tracks. what is that Prepexamwell Is inserted in a circle of soil has been turned over the twigs It looks like Europe, CISA Dumps Study Guide my god The sight of her made her shiver. Nausea suddenly rose, burning like a flame burning her skin. For a moment she really wanted to turn around and escape, pretended nothing was seen. But she tried hard to suppress the idea in my heart. He hopes the victim is 300-208 Dumps Exam dead. This is the best. She runs 300-208 Dumps Exam to an iron staircase that leads from the sidewalk to the canyon. She stopped in time as she grabbed the balustrade of the iron staircase. 010-150 dumps bad The murderer has escaped in all likelihood, and 300-208 Dumps Exam is likely to have left the ladder. If she touches the Prepexamwell 010-150 dumps railings, she CISA Dumps Study Guide may undermine the mark he left behind when he ran away. Okay, then well waste something. She took Testprepwell a deep breath and held back the pain of the knee joint. She inserted the deliberately Learnguidepdf polished CISA Dumps Study Guide bright boot into the crevice of the stone CISA Dumps Study Guide on the first day of her new job and began to climb down the rock wall. She was still four feet off the ground and jumped straight to the place where it was buried. My God It is not 300-208 Dumps Exam a branch that extends from under the ground it is a Prepexamwell CISA Dumps Study Guide mans Learnguidepdf hand. The body of this man was buried vertically in the earth, leaving only the arm, wrist and palm left outside. She stared at the ring finger of the hand all the muscles had been cut off, the red of CISA Dumps Study Guide the bones of the fingers, set with a huge female diamond ring. Shakes knelt on the 300-208 Dumps Exam ground, began digging down. The 010-150 dumps soil fluttered under her hands as a dog. She found that those fingers that had not been cut were wide open, pointing in the direction that their fingers would not normally bend. This shows that the 010-150 dumps victim was still alive when the last shovel of mud buried his face. Maybe its still alive 010-150 dumps now. Shakes desperately dug soft soil, her hands were shattered by pieces of glass, dark red Learnguidepdf blood and Testprepwell dark red soil mixed together. This persons hair is exposed, followed by a bluish, gray forehead due to lack CISA Dumps Study Guide of oxygen. She continued digging until she saw the dull eyes Prepexamwell and CISA Dumps Study Guide mouth of the man. The mans mouth twisted into horrible curvature, indicating that in the last few seconds of life the victim struggled to keep his mouth through the rising black soil. This is not a woman. Despite the finger on the set of a diamond ring. He was a big man in his fifties and was as angry as the soil surrounding him. She took a few steps back, her gaze never 300-208 Dumps Exam leaving that person, almost tripped over by the CISA Dumps Study Guide Testprepwell tracks behind her. For a while, her mind Prepexamwell was empty and could not think of anything, only knowing that a man was buried to die like this. Then she reminded herself Be strong, baby. In Learnguidepdf front of you is the scene of a homicide together, Learnguidepdf and you are the first police officer present. You know what to do ADAPT, adapt. A is the current arrest of Arrest. D is a major eyewitness and suspect to Detain. A is Assess murder scene. P is P what Learnguidepdf is it She bowed her head towards the walkie-talkie Patrolman 5885 calls headquarters.
Afghanistan continues to face extraordinary challenges after almost 40 years of continuous armed conflict. Despite these difficulties, many Afghans have been working tirelessly to protect, rebuild, develop and maintain their national institutions. One such effort was the 2009 National Strategy for a Mentally Healthy Afghanistan which recognised the impact of conflict on mental health and psychosocial well-being.
However, there was no university-level programme to educate Afghan counsellors. This meant the country has been incapable to respond to the large number of Afghans who come to mental health clinics in need of psychosocial support. Two years ago USAID contacted Hunter College City University of New York to partner with Kabul University and Herat University to create strong, effective, 21st-century counselling departments. During the courses faculty members soon discovered there was a shortage of texts on the state of mental health and ways to providing psychosocial support in the specific Afghan culture and its historic backgrounds.
To develop and support higher education in Afghanistan and prepare the next generation of mental health professionals, Intervention decided to dedicate this special issue to mental health in Afghanistan. Both to provide these texts and to provide a platform for the new graduates of both universities.

Q: How to call Make from Meson? I'm using meson to build a project.
The project now needs a dependency to another library, which is easily built using Make, just by issuing the make command.
I would like to add this as a subproject dependency in Meson. Is it possible to call Make from Meson's meson.build file? How is it done?

Femzine
(1) A Fanzine by Marion Cox
A fanzine edited/published by Marion Cox in the 1950s which specialized in material by women.
Other SF fans who were involved in the zine were Juanita Coulson, Honey Wood, and Noreen Falasca.
(2) A Fanzine by Juanita Coulson and Lee Ann Tremper.
Probably published in the late 1950s. In April, 1960, Tremper mentions this as a fanzine that "I have published", i.e. previous to 1960. In her (apparently) chronological list of her previous fanzines, she lists it as coming after one she published in 1954-55, but the last one before her 1960 "Space Cage".
{Were these two separate fanzines?}

Trimble and Bentley Form Strategic Alliance for Infrastructure Project Sites
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 5, 2012 - Bentley Systems, Inc., and Trimble have formed a strategic alliance to further the connection between the virtual and physical environments for infrastructure projects. This alliance will establish a new benchmark for construction and operations quality, efficiency, and safety. Working smarter, together, and employing advanced information mobility innovations, the exchange of physical and virtual data can now be more easily leveraged by engineers and contractors to reduce project risk while increasing overall productivity.
The announcement was made at Trimble Dimensions 2012.
In the resulting immersive environment, physical and virtual information can be used to improve and validate on-site construction processes. The seamless exchange of information between the virtual and physical can be achieved by utilizing a selection of Trimble's field positioning technologies, such as robotic total stations, 3D laser scanners, and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning solutions, and Bentley's information modeling software-with work sharing and dynamic feedback being securely managed in ProjectWise.
Trimble CEO Steve Berglund said, "Trimble's goal is to provide our users with world-class integrated positioning solutions that allow them to collect, manage, and analyze complex information faster and easier. Our collaboration with Bentley will provide engineers and contractors with greater insight into construction problems and enhanced positioning solutions. It will also enhance the application of the constructible model to bringing engineering and construction data to the field and back."
Bentley Systems CEO Greg Bentley said, "In working with Trimble, whose leading-edge technologies many of our major project delivery user organizations already rely upon, we together realized there's a combination of our offerings that can uniquely provide benefits to construction processes that neither could independently. In particular, through the intrinsic 'geo-coordination' in Bentley's applications and ProjectWise geospatial services, almost every project's information modeling content is virtually positioned with engineering precision in the 'project space.'
"Intelligent positioning now enables these engineering models to be real-time and real-place referenced, from and into mobile devices in the field, through immersive environments from both Bentley and Trimble. Users piloting the integration of physical positioning from Trimble with virtual positioning from Bentley, facilitated by information mobility innovations, have identified significant savings of time and money, and continue to uncover new benefit cases."

EJ OBIENA EYES A HECTIC 2022 SEASON AFTER A SUCCESSFUL KNEE SURGERY
Filipino pole vaulter EJ Obiena announced that he had a successful knee operation and is now ready for the 2022 season.
NICOLE RILE / 14 January 2022
The 26-year-old Obiena had to undergo an operation in Germany where his left meniscus was repaired and a screw from his ACL reconstruction in 2017 was removed
"Surgery was successful," he wrote on his official Facebook page. "They have cleaned the meniscus and have removed the screw on my knee from the ACL reconstruction back in 2017 as the bone graft has fully solidified."
With the said development, Obiena is all set up for his first tournament this year for Init Indoor Meeting in Karlsruhe, Germany on January 28.
Other major tournaments lined up for the world rank no. 6 Obiena are the 2022 IAAF World Indoor Championships on March 18 in Belgrade Serbia; the Vietnam SEA Games in May; the World Athletics Championships from July 15 to 24 in Oregon, USA; and the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China in September.
Obeina assured a well-delivered performance even though there are only two weeks remaining before his first stint.
"It shouldn't affect my recovery and we're still on and aiming for the 28th of January competition," he wrote in the post.
Despite the ongoing two-month conflict between Obiena and Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association (PATAFA), Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) never failed to assist Obiena, especially with his surgery expenses.
"Thank you very much for everyone who helped and supported me to make this surgery possible as early as yesterday," he wrote.
"I am also thankful for Chairman Butch Ramirez announcing yesterday that funds for my surgery are available," he said. "I may be able to use this money once available to me to reimburse the advances of good samaritans.
Ramirez stated during a guest appearance on the Philippine Sportswriters Association Forum webcast on Tuesday, the PSC is prepared to support Obiena with all of his 2022 endeavors, despite the fact that he has yet to finish his liquidation report.
"My most immediate task is to get healthy and get back on track so that I can compete again for the country. Everything else is priority number 2. Time for work to be done!!!"
