The past few years haven't been great when we've played Barnsley, home or away.
Becchio on the 90th minute.
this was closely followed by a shot that missed just right of the goal by Jacob Mellis.
I think Deadman was keen on the sound of his own whistle because some of them were questionable to say the least, but, not entirely blaming him, we were playing pretty rubbish.
It took until the 26th minute for us to put some decent pressure on The Tykes and get a proper shot on goal away, El-Hadji Diouf crossing the ball in for a waiting Luciano Becchio who headed it over the crossbar. We began to play football and Rodolph Austin made Ben Alnwick work on the 27th minute after producing a shot on goal and again two minutes later but it just went over the crossbar.
A corner taken by Diouf on the 36th minute was saved by Barnsley keeper Alnwick. A minute later, Craig Davies put his foot through the ball from outside the penalty area which Tom Lees blocked, Marlon Harewood just missed left of the goal seconds later.
On the 41st minute of play, Stephen Foster brought down Lee Peltier in the area with a crunching challenge.
Luciano Becchio stepped up to the mark and sent the keeper the wrong way to chip in his 9th goal in all competitions this season.
Deadman brought the half to an end, we had to improve for the second half. It felt like one mistake and we'd soon find ourselves on the back foot.
Barnsley made a change after the break, bringing on Bobby Hassell for injured Stephen Foster.
The first 5/6 minutes were un-eventful, both teams struggling to get to grips with the game.
Michael Tonge went down on the 53rd minute clutching his shoulder, Neil Warnock made the decision to bring on David Norris in his place as Tonge went off for treatment.
Rodolph Austin attempted to double the lead a minute later when he shot with power from around 25 yards out but it was straight at the keeper and Alnwick had it covered.
distance, the shot was blocked however by Norris.
the odds, another corner came in but this time Becchio was there to clear it away from any potential danger.
66 minutes and two minutes later, changed Cywka for Kelvin Etuhu.
Warnock decided to change things too, bringing off Luciano Becchio on the 71st minute for Andy Gray.
defending so deep it didn't even look like we had a midfield!! It just looked like we had a back line!!
this would probably be a very different report!!
should/shouldn't have been given and here is my honest answer, it was JUST outside of the area.
'the gaffer would have killed him if he'd have missed that' ha ha!!!!
Kenny made some pretty important saves and I think played really well.
season and the matches keep on coming thick and fast, not to mention cup games too!!
Sorry for the lack of pictures the sun was making it hard for me to take any as it was right in our eyes!!


The City of Racine is announcing the creation a new loan program to support and expand small business development.
The Microenterprise Revolving Loan Fund is being established to provide low interest loans up to $15,000 to early stage, owner-operated businesses based in Racine.
Fund. Eligible businesses must have 5 or fewer employees, including the owners, and be in operation between 6 months and 3 years. The Micro Fund has fewer federal regulations than other City of Racine Small Business loan programs, and supports the City's 5 year Comprehensive Plan for economic development.
"This program provides much needed capital to under-represented, Racine businesses, and helps them move to the next level. I have heard from many local businesses about their struggles to secure credit in the early development stages, and the Micro Fund works to do just that," says Mayor Mason.
"The microenterprise loan program will help small businesses overcome stumbling blocks to larger opportunities," said Community Development Committee member Victor Frasher, who is also the Director of Community Engagement at Educators Credit Union.

Touring the Galactic 'Zoo' This Spring, Using Mobile Apps
By Chris Vaughan 2018-04-10T18:08:18Z Skywatching
The region of the sky between Virgo and Leo contains an unusually high number of galaxies, known as the Virgo Cluster. This image by Massimo Tosca of Italy shows Markarian's Chain (the curved string of galaxies toward the upper right of the image) and Messier 87, the enormous elliptical galaxy at the lower left. Dozens of other tiny smudges are galaxies, too. From left to right, the image spans an angle of about 100 arc minutes, or more than three times the width of a full moon.

Every spring in the Northern Hemisphere, the obscuring stars, gas and dust of our own Milky Way galaxy vacate the night sky, leaving a window of opportunity for skywatchers to peer at distant galaxies. This week's new moon will provide us with especially dark skies for hunting these faint but majestic objects.
A galaxy is a massive collection of stars, gas and dust arranged into a 3D structure that is governed by gravity and the laws of physics. Most galaxies have a central bulge of stars surrounded by a thin disk consisting of a ring or spiral arms. Others are formless ovals, or weird funhouse-mirror versions of regular galaxies. The shape and structure depends on how long ago the galaxy formed, how it has evolved since then, and whether it has been altered through interactions with another galaxy.
The orientation of galaxies in the universe is mostly random, which affects their appearance when viewed from Earth. For example, a spiral galaxy can appear large and round when oriented face-on to Earth, as well as dim because its light is spread over a large patch of the sky. But if the same type of galaxy is oriented edge-on to Earth, we see a pencil-thin slash of light, with tapered ends — and it appears much brighter because all of its stars' light is concentrated into a small cross-sectional area. [Gallery: 65 All-Time Great Galaxy Hits]
Astronomers classify galaxies based upon their appearance, dividing them into classes, families and varieties much like we do for animals. In this edition of Mobile Astronomy, we'll examine how galaxies are classified and how your mobile astronomy app can help you see these denizens of the galactic zoo through your telescope, or simply enjoy their diverse beauty through pictures in your app.
Galaxy season has arrived!
Our Milky Way galaxy consists of a large central bulge of densely packed stars surrounded by a flattened disk of encircling spiral arms. The disk is about 100,000 light-years across, but only 2,000 light-years thick. Our sun is an average-size star located in a spiral arm about halfway out to the edge of the disk — in what could be called the galactic suburbs. When we gaze into a clear night sky, every star we see is another resident of our home galaxy.
Our position inside the disk's thickness causes us to see stars in every direction. There are fewer when we look up and down away from the disk, and many more when we look parallel to the disk. In fact, the broad band of stars we call the Milky Way represents the plane of our galaxy projected onto the night sky. It is visibly thickest toward the core, thinnest in the opposite direction, and tapering off in between.
Meanwhile, between our galaxy's stars are cold, dark clouds of gas and dust and occasional glowing star-forming nebulas. This material obscures much of the visible starlight emanating from the core of the galaxy, so it's not as bright as it should be. If you've viewed the Milky Way from a dark site, you may have noticed those dark dust lanes running through it. To look at the billions of other galaxies in the universe, we have to be able to peer past the intervening material. Fortunately, spring is a perfect time to do this for skywatchers in the Northern Hemisphere.
Our Milky Way galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy consisting of an elongated central core surrounded by a thin disk with spiral arms. The disk is approximately 100,000 light-years across but only 5,000 light-years thick. Our solar system is located in the Orion arm. If we peer into space in directions parallel to the plane of the drawing, we see mostly the material in our galaxy. But if we look in directions perpendicular to the drawing, we can see other distant galaxies without obstruction.

Our solar system is tilted with respect to the galactic plane, so the Milky Way's position in the sky varies according to the time of year. In the Northern Hemisphere, it arcs across the summer and winter night skies from south to north — filling the summer constellations of Sagittarius, Scutum, Aquila and Cygnus, and the winter constellations of Canis Major, Orion, Monoceros and Auriga, with rich star fields.
But every year during April and May, the Milky Way moves to a position roughly parallel to the horizon, so the overhead night sky is pointed at right angles from the galactic disk and into deep space. With very little material to block our view, a multitude of galaxies can be observed and studied.
On spring evenings in the Northern Hemisphere, the Milky Way hugs the horizon, leaving the sky directly overhead free of any obscuring gas and dust — perfect for seeing the myriad other galaxies in the universe. Here, the sky is shown at midnight on April 14 (the next new moon). The location marked "NGP" (the north galactic pole) is at right angles to the plane of our galaxy. The sky near the constellation Coma Berenices and the region around it (especially Virgo, Leo and Ursa Major) contains a high concentration of observable galaxies.

Pull out your astronomy app and locate the constellation of Coma Berenices, or "Bernice's Hair." This patch of sky contains the north galactic pole and therefore far fewer stars than the rest of the sky. It's more or less overhead in April and May — perfect for viewing distant galaxies through the least amount of Earth's distorting atmosphere. Coma Berenices and the constellations around it — Virgo, Leo, Ursa Major (the Big Dipper's home) and Canes Venatici — all host a great many galaxies. Before we hunt some of them down with your mobile device, let's look at how astronomers classify the galactic menagerie.
How galaxies are classified
In the early 1920s, at the Palomar Observatory in California, American astronomer Edwin Hubble used a special type of star known as a Cepheid variable to determine distances to objects in our galaxy. These stars' brightness is directly related to the period of their variability. Comparing how bright they appear with how bright they should look tells astronomers how far away they must be. Hubble discovered extremely faint Cepheid variables within the myriad fuzzy patches of light he was finding on photographic plates. He soon realized that those patches, which he had considered "nebulas," must be completely different galaxies situated millions of light-years away from the sun. The universe suddenly became much bigger!
Starting in 1926, Hubble developed a system for classifying the new galaxies. First, he divided them into four classes — elliptical, lenticular, spiral and irregular — assigning them the letter codes E, SO, S, and I, respectively. Elliptical galaxies are relatively featureless balls of stars that range from round to elongated. Hubble assigned numerals to indicate the degree of elongation, ranging from E0 for round and E7 for highly stretched.
A sampling of galaxy forms. Clockwise from upper left: Messier 87 "Virgo A" (elliptical), Messier 102 "Spindle" (lenticular), NGC 1365 (barred spiral), NGC 4656 "the Crowbar" (irregular) and Messier 81 "Bode's Nebula" (spiral). All except NGC 1365 are visible on spring evenings from midnorthern latitudes.

Spiral galaxies have a central bulge encircled by a disk made up of two or more spiral arms. We commonly see dark lanes of dust and gas wrapped around them, too, which helps reveal their structure. Lenticular galaxies also have disks surrounding a bulge, but no spiral arms, gas or dust. Irregular galaxies are the "leftovers." They don't fit into any of the other three categories, but many are probably spiral galaxies that have been disrupted by a gravitational interaction with another passing galaxy. Irregular galaxies tend to have high rates of star formation triggered when shock waves during the interaction caused their gas clouds to collapse.
Hubble further divided the spiral and lenticular galaxies into the families "ordinary" and "barred," using the codes "A" and "B," respectively. Ordinary galaxies have a round central bulge, while barred galaxies have a bulge that is stretched into an oval or a stubby bar. He designated the ordinary spiral galaxies as SA, and the barred spiral galaxies as SB. The lenticulars became SOA and SOB, respectively, while the irregulars were classed as I and IB. [Hubble Views Grand Star-Forming Region]
Hubble also subdivided the spiral galaxies by how tightly the arms wrap around the bulge (and therefore whether the arms are the largest or smallest feature of the galaxy). He used a lower case "a" for tightly wound, smooth arms around a bright central bulge; a "b" for less tightly wound arms around a somewhat fainter bulge; and a "c" for loosely wound arms that exhibit clumping of stars and nebulas, all surrounding a fainter, smaller bulge.
Hubble's system is commonly illustrated in a tuning fork diagram, where the ellipticals plot as the handle and the spirals plot as two tines of a fork — ordinary galaxies in the upper fork and barred galaxies in the lower fork. The lenticular galaxies fall where the tines meet. The irregular galaxies are plotted separately, off to the right.
Years later, as more and better images were acquired, Hubble's system was improved. French astronomer Gérard de Vaucouleurs and American Allan Sandage refined the system starting in 1959. They observed that some spiral galaxies exhibited ring-like structures instead of arms, and added a third tine to Hubble's fork diagram, using the code "SAB." They also added a "d" classification for all tines, covering spirals that have very loosely wound arms around a very faint bulge, and an "m" class for irregular spirals without an obvious bulge. [Galactic Evolution: How Galaxies are Classified by Type (Infographic)]
In the 1920s, American astronomer Edwin Hubble created the system for classifying galaxies based on their visual appearance. The system was presented in an arrangement resembling a tuning fork. Later, astronomers Gérard de Vaucouleurs and Allan Sandage expanded the classes and added a third fork made up of intermediate spiral galaxies.

Can the classification system help us understand the physics of galaxies? Current science suggests that most galaxies form as spirals. Over time, they exhaust their gas and cease star formation to become lenticular. Finally, very old galaxies experience mergers that have removed any former structure to create a featureless elliptical shape. Many of the latter are enormous.
Galaxy classification is not cut and dried. In edge-on orientations, it's sometimes hard to definitely say which type a galaxy might be. Many galaxies get reassigned to different categories based upon new and better images, or the opinions of researchers. Galaxies imaged using ultraviolet or infrared wavelengths of light can change their appearance, too.
Next, we'll highlight the easiest to observe examples of each major type of galaxy visible in the spring night sky from mid-northern latitudes.
Touring the galactic zoo
Below, I have prepared a table with a representative for each main class of galaxy. Although not necessarily the best and brightest example in each case, I have ensured that the galaxies are observable from mid-northern latitudes in the spring evening sky.
It's essential that you seek out a dark sky for viewing the galactic zoo. For best results, choose any clear, moonless night between the last quarter and a day after the new moon. Many of the brighter galaxies can be seen in binoculars under a very dark sky away from urban-light pollution, but a telescope will be needed to see the shape and structures that define each class of galaxy.
In your astronomy app, the brightness of the galaxies will be expressed by their visual-magnitude value; the lower the number, the brighter the object. Amateur-grade telescopes in the 4- to 8-inch aperture range will be able to show you galaxies with visual magnitudes of around 8 to 10. Note that telescopes of that size will not collect enough light for you to see the fainter portions of the galaxies, nor trigger the color receptors in your eye. Watch for astronomy clubs who might be holding dark-sky observing parties in your area. There will likely be some much larger aperture telescopes at those events.
The SkySafari app allows you to create an object list and then highlight the items on the sky (blue circles). This chart for the eastern sky on April 14 at 10 p.m. local time shows the spring galaxies in the accompanying table. When the galaxies are near the zenith (directly overhead), they will look their best.
The following table provides an example of each main type of galaxy. To find one using your app, search using the New General Catalog (NGCnnnn) designation or the Messier Catalog number (Mnnn), when given. I have also provided common names, the abbreviation of the home constellation's name, the visual magnitude (remember — a lower value means it is brighter), the dimensions expressed in arc-minutes, and the distance from the sun in millions of light-years. Note that a full moon is 30 arc-minutes across, so a galaxy with the dimensions of M81 is nearly as wide as the moon!
If you are using the SkySafari 6 app, enter the galaxy's designation into the search bar and then tap the Center icon. Referencing the app's display, you can try to navigate to the galaxy by hopping from nearby visible stars, or enable the compass mode in the app and hold your device up to the sky.
For the objects you can't manage to glimpse, tap the Info icon in the app to see high-resolution color images of the galaxies and read about their physical characteristics, such as their supermassive black- hole centers. In the SkySafari app, if an object's information screen doesn't include an image, tap the More icon and select Show DSS Image. The app will retrieve a black-and-white image from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.

These represent just a fraction of the galaxies you can hunt down with your app. You'll have better luck with the brightest ones. However, if you have access to a large telescope and a dark-sky site, sweep the sky in the region between the Leo's tail, marked by the star, Denebola, and the next major star below it, Vindemiatrix in Virgo. This region is home to the Virgo Supercluster of galaxies. There are countless galaxies here. Switch your astronomy app to the Red Night Mode (to save your dark adaptation), and use it at the eyepiece to see if you can identify individual galaxies. It's a challenge. The Virgo cluster extends north (toward the Big Dipper) into Coma Berenices.
Astronomers think the spiral galaxy that most closely resembles our own Milky Way is this one, NGC 6744. While the structure is the same, it is estimated to be twice as massive. The pink and purple knots show where new stars are being created. The galaxy's light has taken 29.8 million years to reach Earth. Unfortunately for Northern Hemisphere skywatchers, it is visible only from the Southern Hemisphere.

Going beyond
The Southern Hemisphere skies host some of the most exotic denizens of the galactic zoo. Using your app, search for NGC 1365 and look at the picture. This SBb-class galaxy is in Fornax, which means "the Furnace" in Latin, and is 61.6 million light-years from the sun. It has a pronounced bar and two very prominent arms. And don't forget to check out the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. These two satellite galaxies of our Milky Way are only 163,000 and 61,000 light-years away, respectively. They are both classed as intermediate spiral galaxies with irregularities.
Astronomers believe that NGC6744, a galaxy visible only from the Southern Hemisphere, most closely resembles our Milky Way. Situated in the constellation of Pavo, which means "the Peacock," Pavo is an SABb- or SABc-class galaxy featuring a stubby bar-shaped core surrounded by a faint ring and then beautiful, loosely wound arms that are loaded with clumps and knots of star-forming regions. The galaxy is oriented almost face-on to Earth, giving it an oval shape measuring 20 by 13 arc-minutes. It is estimated to be about twice as massive as the Milky Way. And, at 29.8 million light-years away from the sun, if there are any spring galaxy-hunters looking back at us, they are seeing our galaxy in the distant past. Although you can't observe NGC6744 from the Northern Hemisphere, you can still search for it in SkySafari 6 and view a picture of our bigger twin sister!
In upcoming editions of Mobile Astronomy, we'll look at spring binocular stargazing, how we measure the distances to stars, how their gradual drift in position will one day change our familiar constellations, and more. In the meantime, keep looking up!

Fox Restaurant Concepts, the group responsible for Flower Child and North Italia, have brought another one of its concepts to Uptown. Blanco Tacos & Tequila, located at 5115 Westheimer Road, is a Tex-Mex (sort of ... it originated in Arizona) restaurant that doesn't take itself too seriously.
For one, the menu plays with convention and offers things you may not typically see in a Houston Tex-Mex restaurant. It's a tall order for an established chain to bring tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas into Houston, but Blanco might be able to fit here.
Take, for example, the tomato cheese crisp, a curious pizza-like item that recalls Oaxacan tlayudas. But it was nothing too wild and was rightly cheesy and crispy. The Famous Guacamole had cotija cheese, which added a nice texture, while grilled Mexican street corn—covered in ancho chile, lime, mayo, cilantro and cotija cheese—was as authentic as any street corn you'd get from a vendor in Mexico.
Looking for a standout entrée? The meat in the Snake River Farms wagyu carne asada tacos was so tender that it just melted, with the corn tortilla accenting with a bright, sweet flavor. With sides, try the Spanish quinoa rice and black beans.
And dessert? The caramel flan that was pretty sweet, but strawberries and blueberries topping the dish lended tartness. The Mexican chocolate tiramisu with Gamesa Marias Cookies had a creamy smoothness.
Blanco goes for a sophisticated, old-world feel to the dining area, with overhead lights looking like early 20th century candles. There's a bar between the main dining room and patio, and the kitchen is visible from your table.
Houston is a big town with plenty of Tex-Mex and Mexican options, but Blanco isn't shying away. It should add some variety to a well-beloved cuisine.

When the issue is resolved and event-id 202 is logged in the Event-Log in the the client. The generated Alert in System Center Operations Manager is Automaticaly closed.
In this blog post i 'am going to take you true the steps that are needed for changing the retention time of the databases that are used in System Center Operations Manager.
The Operational Database is a SQL Server Database that contains all configuration data for the management group and stores all monitoring data that is collected and processed for the management group. The Operational database retains short-term data, by default 7 day's.
The Operations Database needs 50% free space at all time. This for growth, and for re-indexing operations to complete successful. When the free space in the Operations Database is going below 40 % System Center Operations Manager will generate a Alert.
In the "Operations Manager Console" click "Administration"
In the "Settings" pane, right click "Database Grooming" and the click "Properties"
In the "Global Management Group Setting – Database Grooming" dialog box, select "Performance Data", and click "Edit"
Repeat step 5 and 6 for the "Event Data"
In the "Global Management Group Setting – Database Grooming" dialog box, click "Apply" and click "Ok"
Know that we have changed the database grooming for the OperationsManager database time check if the grooming is working correct.
The data warehouse database is a SQL Server database that stores monitoring and alerting data for historical purposes. Data that is written to the Operations Manager database is also written to the data warehouse database, so reports always contain current data. The data warehouse retains long-term data.
The most common datasets that we will aggregate are the Performance data set, State data set and Client monitoring data set. We have raw, hourly and daily aggregations.
When installing ACS into your environment you during the installation process you can set the "Number of days an event is retained in database". The default configuration is 14 days.
This update includes a fix to prevent resynchronization of all managed entities from the Operations Manager to the Operations Manager Data Warehouse (OMDW) database and to prevent the failure to sync that this causes because of duplicate entries.

In this CritCases blog – a collaboration between STARS Air Ambulance Service, Mike Betzner, ORNGE Air Ambulance and EM Cases – we present a case of a 30 week gestational age pregnant woman with high blood pressure, headache, blurry vision and pelvic cramping. We discuss the management challenges of transporting a patient with severe pre-eclampsia and preterm labor, with special attention to dosing of magnesium, antihypertensive agents choice, and indications for steroids, tocolytics and antibiotics.
A 35-year old G1P0 woman presents to a small rural ED complaining of 10 hrs of 4/10 regular period-like pelvic cramping radiating into her lower back as well as gradual onset 8/10 diffuse "throbbing" headache accompanied by blurring vision. She denies vaginal bleeding, urinary symptoms, GI symptoms, fever or chills. She denies neck pain or stiffness, limb weakness or numbness or speech difficulty. Her Group B Strep status is unknown. According to her LMP she is approximately 30 weeks gestation. She has had no prenatal care to date.
Her past medical history is unremarkable and she does not take any medication.
Her vital signs in the ED reveal a BP of 175/115, heart rate of 95, respiratory rate of 17 and temperature of 36.5.
Her GCS is 15, PERL, gait normal, no pronator drift, but her extremity deep tendon reflexes are hyper-reflexic. Her chest is clear. Her lower abdomen is tender with no periotneal signs and no organomegaly. Her cervix is 2 cm dilated and soft. There is some greenish discharge per os.
A urine dip shows 3+ protein and 2+ blood. Routine blood work is sent, but no results are available at this time.
The time to arrange for and complete a transfer to the closest tertiary obstetric center is approximately 4 hours.
What is your initial impression and what are your treatment priorities?
This patient may be in early preterm labor and should be presumed to be suffering from severe pre-eclampsia which both need to be addressed immediately. She will need to be transferred to a tertiary care center where there is a neonatal team capable of caring for a 30-week neonate and a mother with pre-eclampsia / eclampsia. It is essential to consult early and develop a shared care plan with a high-risk obstetrician as soon as possible.
While the urine dip is suggestive of pre-eclampsia, lab tests should be sent to confirm the diagnosis, rule out HELLP and help prognosticate. CBC, electrolytes, LFTs, and urinalysis should be sent off. While arranging transport of this patient, consideration should be given to time sensitive treatments including blood pressure reduction and seizure prevention, optimizing the fetal conditions for delivery (antibiotics and steroids) and arranging for the possibility of delivering as soon as the patient arrives at the tertiary care center.
Pre-eclampsia is surprisingly common in Canada, developing in approximately 1 out of every 100 pregnancies and eclampsia in 1 of every 1000 pregnancies. It is the second most common cause of maternal death after postpartum hemorrhage (1). As pre-eclampsia is relatively common, every perinatal unit should have a protocol for treatment of severe hypertension.
What are your initial treatment priorities for pre-eclampsia and preterm labor?
Lower dose magnesium: The guidelines for MgSo4 doses vary significantly in various study protocols, textbooks, and online clinical resources. The Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Canada (SOGC) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) both recommend starting at lower dose MgSo4 which is thought to result in fewer side effects (2,3,4). However there is evidence to suggest that the rate of side effects is low with traditional high dosing. For example a systematic review looking at side effects of MgSO4 for pre-eclampsia amog 9556 women in 24 studies utilizing a range of dosing regimens found that the rate of absent patellar reflex was 1.6% and the rate of respiratory depression was 1.3%. There was only one maternal death attributed to the use of magnesium sulfate (5).
Use a 50 ml syringe and draw up 4 g (8 ml) MgSO4 and then add 22 ml 2⁄3/1⁄3 to make a total volume of 30 ml. Administer over 30 minutes at an infusion rate of 60 ml/hour, using a volumetric infusion pump.
Draw up 20 g (40 ml) MgSO4 and add to 960 ml 2⁄3/1⁄3 (1,000 ml total). Infuse at 1 g/hr (50 ml/hr) using a volumetric infusion pump.
MgSO4 4 g IV over 20 minutes then 1 g/hour for 24 hours is now the most commonly cited initial MgSO4 dose and is classified as Level 1-A evidence in the most recent guidelines from the SOGC (3).
Patients on Mg infusions should to have respirations monitored, have their deep tendon reflexes checked regularly and have 10 cc of 10% calcium gluconate on hand in case of overdose. Administration of calcium is rarely required, but should be immediately available, especially in transport situations.
After speaking with the obstetrician you administer MgSO4 4g IV over 20-30 mins. As the loading dose is finishing the patient starts to seize.
Will you give an additional magnesium bolus or infusion now that the patient is seizing after your initial dosing?
Further Seizures should be treated with an additional bolus of Magnesium 2 g IV.
It is recommended that an additional 2 g is given over 5 minutes followed by an infusion of 1.5 g/hour. It is essential to monitor very closely for respiratory depression and speak to the receiving obstetrician for guidance. If two such boluses do not terminate the seizure, a second line agent such midazolam 5 mg IV should be considered.
How will you treat the hypertension?
There is some variability in the recommendations of dosing and administration of antihypertensive agents. Intravenous labetolol and hydralazine have been long-standing first-line agents for the treatment of severe hypertension, but recently, oral nifedipine has also been recommend as a first line treatment, particularly when IV access is not available. Some expert opinion has suggested that hydralazine is associated with a higher rate of side effects such as maternal hypotension and fetal distress, and so may be reserved for second-line use or when labetolol is contraindicated (eg. maternal asthma or CHF) (6). A Cochrane Review in 2013 suggests that nifedipine is associated with less persistent hypertension than hydralazine and possibly less side effects compared to labetalol (7).
Labetolol 20 mg IV then 20-80mg q20-30 mins to a maximum dose of 300mg or constant infusion 1-2mg/min IV to a target BP <160/110.
Nifedipine 10-20mg orally, repeat in 30 mins prn; then 10-20mg q2-6h.
Will you administer steroids and antibiotics prior to transfer?
Corticosteroids are indicated to improve fetal lung maturity for preterm labor between 24 and 34 weeks gestational age when delivery is not an immediate possibility. The most recent Cochrane review in 2017 on antenatal corticosteroids for women at risk for preterm birth included 30 studies of 7774 women and showed that treatment with antenatal steroids compared with placebo or no treatment was associated with a reduction in perinatal death, neonatal death, respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, need for mechanical ventilation and systemic infections in the first 48 hrs of life (8). Any patient with severe pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, or HELLP syndrome needs to be delivered as soon as possible. This case is very challenging as there is no option for a safe delivery in this community and there will be a delay. The use of steroid in this patient could potentially be useful.
The SOGC clinical practice guidelines on the prevention of early onset neonatal Group B Streptococcal Disease recommends that all women who are < 37 weeks gestation and in labor or with rupture of membranes with intravenous group B streptococcus antibiotic prophylaxis for a minimum of 48 hours, unless there has been a negative vaginal/rectal swab culture or rapid nucleic acid-based test within the previous 5 weeks (9).
Antibiotics: Ampicillin 2 g IV or Penicillin G 5 million units IV for unknown Group B Strep status is routinely given. If the patient's GBS status is known to be negative, then this would not be necessary.
Will you administer a tocolytic?
This is her first pregnancy and she has not progressed far. Given that she will likely be delivered upon arrival at the receiving hospital as definitive treatment for the pre-eclampsia, a tocolytic would not be recommended in her case. Tocolytics can be effective in rapid inhibition of premature uterine contractions and are generally considered safe in the transport environment (10). As delivery in an aircraft or ambulance could be disastrous, it would be prudent to discuss options with the receiving obstetrician if the transport times or delays would prevent her from getting to definitive care over the next few hours. If the consulting obstetrician felt a tocoloytic was indicated, nifedipine might be the best choice as it could be used to positively impact on both BP control and possible tocolytic effects if used in lieu of labetalol. The optimal dosing is not clear and should be discussed with the receiving obstetrician. Indomethacin would be a poor choice, as it has been implicated in exacerbating or triggering pre-eclampsia (11).
In the setting of oliguria, will you administer fluids to improve urine output?
Fluid administration should be judicious and fluid balance should be monitored very carefully. Detailed input and output recordings should be charted (i.e., q1h). Careful fluid balance is aimed at avoiding fluid overload. The total IV rate should be limited to 80 ml/hour (approximately 1 ml/kg/hr, using current weight). Even in the setting of oliguria and severe pre-eclampsia, guidelines recommend not to give fluid boluses (3, 12).
During transport you get a call from the base hospital that the platelet count is 45 x 10^9/L with evidence of hemolytic anemia.
Will you transfuse this patient with platelets on arrival at the hospital?
I would not give platelets unless there are signs of catastrophic bleeding such as confirmed ICH with severe thrombocytopenia, again, in consultation with the receiving OB.
HELLP syndrome is thought to be a form of severe pre-eclampsia characterized by hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets. It is characterized by significant mortality related to disseminated intravascular coagulation, pulmonary edema, liver infarction or hemorrhage and placental abruption. Principles of management again include blood pressure management, seizure prophylaxis and expedited fetal delivery. For a platelet count <20 x 10^9/L and HELLP syndrome, platelet transfusion is recommend regardless of mode of delivery. SOGC recommends transfusing platelets for C-section deliveries when platelets are <50 x 10^9 / L and for vaginal delivery when platelets are <20 x 10^9 / L and also for excessive active bleeding, known platelet dysfunction, those where platelet count is rapidly falling, and for those with known coagulopathy (3). Remember that platelet transfusions carry a significant complication rate and as such should be used with caution. Many smaller hospitals do not stock platelets and this might not be an option. In order to streamline care, speaking to the high-risk obstetrician and possibly the anesthetist for guidance regarding blood product administration would be helpful early in the transfer process.
Ultimately, this patient with severe pre-eclampsia was transferred to a tertiary care center and was delivered by c-section with a good neonatal outcome. During the transfer, she remained on MgSO4 1 g/hour and a labetalol infusion at 1 mg/min. She received 1 pool of platelets on arrival to the tertiary care center. She had subsequent resolution of hypertension and did not develop any further sequelae.

Thankfully, the seizing parturient is a sight that most obstetricians in Canada will only witness once or twice per career. When we do see it, it is often in the context of a patient with minimal antenatal care because so much of modern obstetrical practice is geared toward screening for pre-eclampsia and intervening early to prevent this complication.
Interestingly, preterm labor and severe pre-eclampsia often travel together. I like to say that the body is smarter than we are and knows very well that delivery is the best cure for pre-eclampsia.
The top considerations for transport in my mind are preventing seizure in mom and optimizing the fetal lungs in anticipation of premature delivery. To this end, a loading dose of 4g of magnesium sulfate followed by an infusion of 1g/hr is appropriate. However, I cannot stress enough that accidental overdose of magnesium sulfate is a significant risk, and the transporting physician needs to be hypervigilant regarding the rate of infusion and the potential for crossing of IV tubing and bags during transfer. In cases where patients are transferred without the ability to closely monitor the infusion pump, I would suggest IM injection of the magnesium sulphate (Two deep intramuscular injections of 4 to 5 g magnesium sulfate 50% solution into each buttock; the total dose of up to 10 g injected into one site is highly irritating). This IM regimen follows the routine 4g IV bolus and can be repeated every 4 hours, as needed for transfer. As indicated, another benefit of magnesium is for fetal neuroprotection. For fetal lung maturation, 12g of betamethasone IM or 6g of dexamethasone IM are recommended as soon as possible. This will have a secondary effect of decreasing the inflammation associated with pre-eclampsia and may temporarily improve the liver enzymes.
Regarding the use of tocolytics, their use in modern obstetrics (since they don't really work very well) is restricted to transfer situations and in order buy time to get steroids on board. Maximal effect on fetal lung maturity is at 48 hours after the first dose, so we will sometimes use tocolytics in order to achieve this. In this case, the magnesium sulfate itself is a reasonable tocolytic and I would not recommend adding anything else. Furthermore, the patient should be examined immediately prior to transfer and if there is any doubt that she will make it to the receiving hospital, she should not be moved and a neonatal transport team mobilized instead.
The body is smarter than we are and knows very well that delivery is the best cure for pre-eclampsia.

Kumme war eine Stadt im nördlichen Mesopotamien, sie lag vermutlich im heutigen irakischen Gouvernement Dahuk oder in der türkischen Provinz Şırnak. Der Stadtgott Teššub war besonders in der späten Bronzezeit von überregionaler Bedeutung.

Lage

Einigkeit herrscht bei der Lokalisierung Kummes nur insoweit, als dass eine Lage im nordöstlichen Mesopotamien bzw. nördlich von Assyrien angenommen wird. Für diese Region (das irakisch-türkische Grenzgebiet) stehen jedoch kaum archäologische Daten zu Verfügung, daher beruhen die folgenden Lokalisierungsvorschläge entweder auf der Etymologie von Ortsnamen (Komane) oder auf der geographischen Auswertung antiker Texte.

Einen ersten Vorschlag unterbreitete Forrer 1932: Kumme "liegt zwischen dem oberen Zab und dem Tigris, und zwar bezeichnet m. E. der jetzige Ort Komane (Kwane, Kuani), 9 km im SO von Amadia die ursprüngliche Hauptstadt der Landschaft Kumanî". Dieser Vorschlag wurde nochmals von Lanfranchi und Parpola 1990 aufgegriffen, bleibt seitdem jedoch ohne Beachtung.

Einen neuen Versuch einer genauen Lokalisierung unternahm Postgate 1973 in seiner Untersuchung der Inschrift von Mila Mergi. Er will Kumme mit dem heutigen Zaxo bzw. seiner Umgebung, am Oberlauf des Habur gleichsetzen. Dies beruht auf der Lokalisation der Region Ulluba und der Provinz des masennu durch den Standort der Inschrift. Als natürliche Grenze der Provinz des masennu könnten die Berge südlich von Zaxo gelten; nördlich daran anschließend wären dann die Länder Ukku und Kumme zu vermuten. Auf diesen Vorschlag nehmen auch aktuelle Werke Bezug.

Der letzte Ansatz einer Lokalisierung erfolgte 1990 durch Roaf, welcher Kumme unter 37,34° N; 42,58° O verortet. Für diese These gibt er allerdings keine Quellen oder weiterführende Informationen an, trotzdem hat sich Roafs Lokalisierung in den letzten Jahren durchgesetzt. So wird Kumme nach den Koordinaten Roafs auch im Helsinki Atlas of the Near East in the Neo-Assyrian Period und in neueren Publikationen der Reihe SAAS geführt bzw. eingetragen.

Alle Vorschläge weisen somit in das Gebiet der Flüsse Hezil und Habur bzw. deren nähere Umgebung. Eine Identifikation mit einem Tell steht jedoch noch aus und wird wohl erst nach Grabungen in diesem Gebiet möglich sein.

Geschichte

Es scheint zu Assyrien weitgehend freundliche Beziehungen unterhalten zu haben. Wie wir von der Bankett-Stele von Aššur-nasir-apli II. wissen, waren Botschafter von Kumme, zusammen mit Abgesandten aus Hubuschkia, Gilzanu und Musaṣir bei seiner Krönung in Kalhu anwesend. Während der Regierungszeit Sargons wurde die Stadt von Arije regiert. Dieser wurde von dem assyrischen Beamten (qēpu) Aššur-rēṣūwa kontrolliert.

Religion

In hurritischen Texten aus Mari wird Kumme als ein Zentrum der Verehrung des Wettergottes Teššub erwähnt (Te-šu-ba-am Ku-um-me-né-en), auch andere Texte aus dieser Stadt verweisen auf jenen Gott.

Herrscher
 Arije, Ende 8. Jh.
 Ariazâ, möglicherweise Sohn und Koregent Arijes, Ende 8. Jh.

Sprache
Zadok hält es für wahrscheinlich, dass in Kumme ein urarto-hurritischer Dialekt gesprochen wurde. Hier finden sich auch urarto-hurritische Toponyme.

Lithuania seeks to preserve UK ties against Russia
By Georgi Gotev | EURACTIV.com
Linas Linkevičius [European Council]
Lithuania, which looked to Britain to help toughen the EU line on Russia, said yesterday (27 June) it wanted the European Union to preserve all that it could of its ties with London after the Brexit vote.
"We would like to preserve what is not yet destroyed, what is possible to preserve," Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevičius told reporters at the United Nations.
Will Brexit make the EU more pro-Russian?
Asked if Brexit will make the EU more pro-Russian, international experts with different backgrounds approached by EURACTIV were not unanimous in their assessment. However all said that without the UK, the EU will be weaker internationally.
The foreign minister said while there was a need for "clarity" after Britain's vote to leave, Lithuania, for one, was not "rushing to expel Britain."
France and Italy, but also the European Commission, have urged Britain to move quickly to exit, while Germany and others have taken a more cautious stance.
Juncker: I am not a fan of referendums but 'out is out'
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has admitted he is "basically not a fan of referendums", and ruled out further EU-UK negotiations, the day before Britons vote on whether to remain in or leave the bloc.
Lubomír Zaorálek, the Czech foreign minister, has asked Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker to resign, as in his words, someone in the EU institutions should take "responsibility" for last week's vote by British citizens to leave the European Union.
EU's Juncker under pressure to resign after Brexit vote
Pressure is building on Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker to resign following the UK referendum, but also over the need to "change the habits" of his way to run the EU executive over the last two years.
Linkevičius expressed worries that "the voices of the more principled positions will be weaker" within the EU when it comes to dealing with Russia.
His remarks came ahead of an EU meeting this week that is expected to roll over economic sanctions that were imposed against Russia after Moscow annexed Crimea and sent troops to back separatists in eastern Ukraine.
Moscow denies it is supporting the separatists.
France and Germany have called for a shift in the approach to sanctions toward Russia, but Britain has maintained a hard line, saying there should be no let-up without progress on ending the conflict in Ukraine.
Germany, Austria favour gradual phasing out of Russia sanctions
The German and Austrian foreign ministers said that EU sanctions on Russia should be gradually phased out as the peace process progresses, abandoning previous positions that sanctions could be lifted only if the Minsk peace plan is fully implemented.
Linkevičius criticized EU states who advocate a "more pragmatic and flexible" approach to sanctions against Russia as "very counter-productive" and said the response to ineffective sanctions should be "more sanctions".
France wants EU summit to discuss Russia sanctions
France on Monday (20 June) called for EU leaders to have a full discussion on the future of economic sanctions imposed on Russia over Ukraine, even though they are expected to be rolled over shortly.
The foreign minister said he had discussed Britain's vote to leave the European Union with his counterparts from the Baltics and Scandinavia, who all agreed that there should be a "civilized process" for new relations.
He described Britain as a "strategic ally" to advance security, human rights and democracy in Europe.
Rght-wing Polish politician Jarosław Kaczyński earlier Monday said he would like to see Britain hold a second referendum on EU membership.

The microwave is a very common, and often used, kitchen appliance. It's a great tool for heating up last night's dinner or a quick "2 minute meal". However, the microwave ovens we know today, the same that cook the food we eat, are descended from the radar boxes of the Second World War.
Invented by Percy L. Spencer, who was a radar technician during the war, microwave ovens use electromagnetic energy that is very similar to radio waves. Due to this heating method, microwaves emit non-ionizing radiation, which studies show can affect our blood and heart. The effects of this radiation can lead to certain types of intestinal and stomach cancers.
That being said, there is no need to fear. Microwaves today go through many extensive tests and safety procedures to make sure they are safe to use. But while we are safe standing next to them, what happens to the food we heat inside of them? Here are 5 things you should never put in the microwave as it will damage the food, and maybe also the people who'll eat it.
Breast milk is essential in providing a newborn with powerful bacteria-fighting and nutritious materials. Heating breast milk in the microwave, on either high or low temperatures, has been found to destroy those beneficial substances, and worse. In the same tests, made by The "Journal of Pediatrics", it was found that the heated milk also has greater E-coli growth, a harmful bacteria for humans and babies in particular.
Considered a very healthy vegetable, broccoli has been found to lose up to 97% of its beneficial antioxidants during microwave cooking. While it's true that all forms of cooking destroy some nutrients in the food we eat, this is truly an extreme example.
Researchers found that meat cooked for over 6 minutes in a microwave loses half of its vitamin B-12 content. Another big danger is that parts of the meat that have been defrosted, but are still in the microwave as it works, are a bacteria heaven. Since defrosting meat can take quite a long time there is a very real danger of either overcooked meat, or under-cooked meat full of bacteria. You are much better off defrosting meat in the fridge overnight and cooking it in some other way.
While buying frozen foods and fruits is not a bad idea, defrosting those frozen fruits in the microwave is a very bad one. Studies from the late 70′s showed that defrosting frozen fruit in a microwave, is converting beneficial glucoside and galactaside (types of sugar) in the fruit to carcinogenic substances. On a simpler note, microwaved fruits tend to shrink, wrinkle and lose their delicious texture. Frozen fruit are instead best thawed in the fridge or simply at room temperature.
Heating food in plastic containers or covered by plastic wrap can release many harmful toxins and chemicals directly into your food. The dangers include toluene, a substance (a little like paint thinner) that inhaling it has potential to cause severe neurological harm. Benzene, which increases the risk of cancer and many many more chemicals. While many containers today are "microwave safe", it's still a good idea to avoid using them.

Lara Dutta hopes for bumper Diwali with 'Blue'
New Delhi, Sep 23 (IANS) Lara Dutta, who has been creating waves with her svelte figure and bold avatar in the promos of "Blue", hopes the film turns out to be a hit and makes her Diwali really special.
"Blue", also starring Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt and Zayed Khan is centered on an underwater treasure guarded by sharks and is slated to release Oct 16, just a day before Diwali.
"My next film after 'Do Knot Disturb', 'Blue' is releasing just a day before Diwali, so I'm hoping that it does well and my Diwali becomes a bumper Diwali," Lara, who was wearing a pink satin dress, told reporters here.
The former beauty queen-turned-actress was in the capital to attend the 25th edition of MMTC's Festival of Gold.
Asked how she planned to celebrate the festival of lights, Lara said Diwali would be a family affair for her this year, unlike last time.
"Diwali is a festival meant to be celebrated with family, but last year I was shooting in Singapore for 'Do Knot Disturb'. So this year I'll be spending time with my close ones," Lara said.

Evelyn: I think everyone should see themselves doing it and their friends should see it too.
This film was absolutely not what I expected it to be. In the first half an hour, I even got a little bored, because it seemed like the story was going nowhere. Fortunately, I got my happy ending - no, not at all a film with a happy ending, just an ending that makes the film precious! It really makes you stare at the black screen, with the cast moving in front, and think about what you've seen over and over again. Of course, the brilliant play of Rachel Weisz cannot be left unmentioned, but I think that the others did a great job as well. "The Shape of things" is a film with actually just four actors and one great idea, and trust me, it is worth seeing. I am just wondering how would I feel the second time I watch it!

Tag: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
YouTuber Sues Google, Viacom Over Content ID Takedowns
While in previous years people were simply grateful to have somewhere to host their own vides, these days a growing number of YouTube users rely on the site to generate extra cash.
Earning money with YouTube is now easier than ever, with some 'YouTubers' even making enough to invest in a mansion.
For others, however, the environment created by the Google-owned video platform is far from perfect, with complaints over the company's Content ID anti-piracy system regularly making the news. Now YouTuber Benjamin Ligeri is adding his name to the disgruntled list.
In a lawsuit filed at the US District Court for the District of Rhode Island which lists Google, Viacom, Lionsgate and another YouTuber as defendants, Ligeri bemoans a restrictive YouTube user contract and a system that unfairly handles copyright complaints.
Ligeri says that he has uploaded content to YouTube under the name BetterStream for purposes including "criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and/or research," but never in breach of copyright. Nevertheless, he claims to have fallen foul of YouTube's automated anti-piracy systems.
One complaint details a video uploaded by Ligeri which he says was a parody of the film The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. It was present on YouTube for a year before a complaint was filed against it by a YouTube user called Egeda Pirateria.
"Defendant Pirateria is not the rightful owner of the rights to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, nor did the Plaintiff's critique of it amount to copying or distribution of the movie," Ligeri writes.
However, much to his disappointment, YouTube issued a copyright "strike" against Ligeri's account and refused to remove the warning, even on appeal.
Posted on May 15, 2015 Categories Censorship, CopyrightTags Benjamin Ligeri, BetterStream, ContentID, DMCA, Egeda Pirateria, Fair Use, Google, Lionsgate, Nickelodeon, Paramount Pictures, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, USA, Viacom, YoutubeLeave a comment on YouTuber Sues Google, Viacom Over Content ID Takedowns


"I understand why Europeans like it so much, why they've been so fond of the course and talk so highly about it. So why is he so driven to be part of next month's U.S. Ryder Cup side?
"It's stressful", he said. I'm trending. So that's all I'm going to say.
"I played in a lot of final groups and I haven't played well enough when it's counted". You're trying to figure out how No. 9, 10, and 11 played.
That's why he sent a text to Schauffele, the PGA Tour rookie of the year last season who contended deep into the British Open on Sunday until a bogey on the 17th hole left him two shots behind.
"I was trading some information with Xander".
"Just the fact I'm playing the tour again, just for me to be able to have this opportunity again, is a dream come true". "So I think he's an easy pick from that regard and the way he's been playing, if I was on the other side, I wouldn't want him picked, so that's another good reason".
Thomas secured his place Sunday by winning the WGC Bridgestone Invitational, joining world number one Dustin Johnson, reigning Masters champion Patrick Reed and two-time US Open victor Brooks Koepka. They are followed by Bubba Watson, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler and Webb Simpson, who has a narrow lead over Bryson DeChambeau. Phil Mickelson is 10th. Mickelson has never had to rely on being a captain's pick, dating to his first team he made in 1995.
"It's unbelievable to be in that group, to make it that far", said Love, whose first major was the 1986 PGA. He chose to not to.
"It's not like there's any groundbreaking stuff I learned", Thomas said. He and Furyk share the same management company, which has provided Furyk a window into an intelligent young player who turns 25 next month.
Then there is the question of Tiger Woods, who lies 20th in the standings but on current form and career reputation looks increasingly unlikely to be ignored for a wildcard pick.
Among those in the top 50, Furyk also played once with Patrick Cantlay, Andrew Landry, Charles Howell III, Brandt Snedeker and James Hahn. The 12th and final spot will be finalized after the following week's BMW Championship. Everyone down to Chris Stroud at No. 85 in the standings has a mathematical chance by winning - maybe further down if the PGA raises its purse. This week's PGA champion will earn two points for every $1,000 earned and other competitors will receive 1.5 times the money they earn in points.
Furyk was in that spot two years ago - under consideration for a pick who was involved as a vice captain in deciding.
Woods will be in Paris one way or another.
"What goes on at a Ryder Cup, it's like basically a football game breaks out in the middle of a golf tournament", said Furyk. "Good iron players and good putters will be very successful".
That's because the tournament at Bellerive is the last points-paying event for the USA team for the Ryder Cup, and a crucial opportunity for European players to impress captain Thomas Bjorn.
"There are going to be six or seven names that really deserve a lot of thought", Bjorn said.
Woods, coming off spinal fusion surgery after missing most of the past two years with back pain, would need to win this week's PGA Championship to claim an automatic berth on points. "That's all my focus is on". He has been in the top 3 five times this year, including three runner-up finishes.


You may have heard in the last year or two that you should consider making your website "mobile-ready" or responsive. Something about a "mobile revolution." The truth is, the need for mobile websites isn't coming. It's already here. It's been here.
"The mobile revolution is complete. Smartphones account for more than half of searches in 10 countries""including the U.S. and Japan""according to Google, which didn't release exact percentages or a full list of countries." – See the full article on AdWeek.
"As of Tuesday, April 21, 2015, Google has made a massive change to the way it ranks websites. How massive? This change outranks both Panda and Penguin in terms of its scale of impact on search results, according to Google's Webmaster Trends analyst Zineb Ait Bahajji." – See the full article on HubSpot.
"For the first time in March, the number of mobile-only adult internet users exceeded the number of desktop-only internet users." – See the full article on ComScore.
The need for #mobile websites isn't coming. The truth is… it's already here. It's been here.
Mobile isn't going anywhere. It's only going to grow. Companies like Google and Apple are creating smart watch products that allow content to be consumed on screens smaller than 2″.
When considering your lead generation strategies in 2015 and onward, mobile support must be accounted for when building your website, landing pages, consumable content, emails, ads, etc. Some of our clients' avatars (ie – audience, ideal client) are so ingrained in their mobile devices, we can generate new leads at a fraction of the cost of ads on desktop networks.
If you're looking for a sustainable, long-term lead generation strategy… be sure to include mobile.

Q: How can I solve for the points of an arbitrary trapezoid inscribed inside of a triangle? Given the following coordinate points:

Write an algorithm (in pseudocode) to solve for x1, x2, x3, and x4.
This is what I have so far:
 var y1, y2, y3, y4 = 50, 50, 75, 75;

 var offset1 = tan(60) * y1;

 var offset2 = tan(60) * (y2 - y1);

 var x1 = 200 + offset1;

 var x3 = 200 + offset1 + offset2;

A: You know the equations of all the three lines (sides) of the triangle. (You can derive it by the vertex points)
Just plug in the values of y and get the x coordinates.
EDIT: If you know two points on a line (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), then the equation of the line is:
y2-y1   y - y1
----- = ------
x2-x1   x - x1

A: Consider the right triangle { (200,0) (350,300) (350,0) } (see the illustration below).
Since the big and the small triangles sharing the (Xb, Yb) corner are similar, the ratio of the length of the red side (X,Y)-(Xb,Y) to the length of (Xb,Y)-(Xb,Yb) is the same as the ratio of (Xa,Ya)-(Xb,Ya) to (Xb,Ya)-(Xb,Yb).

Since (X,Y)-(Xb,Y) is your only unknown, you could figure out the answer by solving the equation
Xb-X   Xb-Xa
---- = -----
Yb-Y   Yb-Ya

Therefore,
         (Xb-Xa)*(Yb-Y)
X = Xb - --------------
              Yb-Ya

'More People May Die': Biden Urges Trump to Commence Transition as Covid Cases Surge
Home Latest
Reading Time: 2min
US President-elect Joe Biden warned of dire consequences if President Donald Trump and his administration continue to refuse to coordinate with his transition team on the coronavirus pandemic and block briefings on national security, policy issues and vaccine plans.
The remarks marked Biden's toughest statement to date on Trump's failure to acknowledge his election loss and cooperate with the incoming administration for a peaceful transfer of power.
"More people may die if we don't coordinate," Biden told reporters during a news conference in Wilmington, Delaware.
https://www.arise.tv/batman/2020/11/Biden.mp4
Biden and his aides — and a small but growing group of Republicans — have emphasized the importance of being briefed on White House efforts to control the pandemic and distribute prospective vaccines.
The Trump administration is working on its own distribution plan, while Biden's chief of staff indicated his transition team will proceed with their own planning separately because of the obstruction.
The outgoing president has refused so far to bend to pressure from Democrats or Republicans as he continues to dispute his loss to Biden, who has surpassed the 270 electoral vote threshold to become president and is leading Trump by more than 5.5 million votes nationally.
Cooperation between the outgoing and incoming administrations, traditionally a key component to the peaceful transfer of power in the United States, takes on heightened significance this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, which is escalating dramatically heading into the holiday season.
Biden called the vaccine distribution a "huge, huge undertaking," and said that if his team has to wait until he takes office to dig into the government's distribution plan, they'll be "behind, over a month, month and a half."


BATON ROUGE – The Friends of LSU Hilltop Arboretum group will hold its annual symposium, titled "Louisiana Garden Heritage: A Lavish Hodgepodge of Design and Plants on Saturday" on Saturday, Jan. 24, 2015, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the LSU Design Building Auditorium.
The inspiration for the symposium is Chene Vert, an early 19th century-style garden restored by Wayne and Cheryl Stromeyer on historic Highland Road that will be featured on a Hilltop Garden Tour on the afternoon of April 12, 2015. Components of the garden that inspired the selection of the symposium speakers and topics are based on an historic circa-1845 French Quarter garden design, ancient camellias, antique roses, perennial flower borders, native meadows and natural ecosystems.
• Lake Douglas, associate professor of landscape architecture at LSU's Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture and associate dean of research & development for the LSU College of Art & Design, will talk about 19th-century garden design in New Orleans, including the plants, garden furnishings, garden workers and horticultural commerce that defined 19th-century gardens and open spaces in the Crescent City. Using material from two recent books, "Public Spaces, Private Gardens: A History of Designed Landscapes in New Orleans" (LSU Press, 2011) and "Steward of the Land: Selected Writings of Nineteenth-Century Horticulturist Thomas Affleck" (LSU Press, 2014), his talk will focus on how research into unconventional sources has generated new evidence about the 19th-century landscapes of New Orleans. Included will be images from the Plan Book Records of the Notarial Archives, from which a mid-1840s French Quarter garden and residence inspired the design for the Stromeyer's Chene Vert in Baton Rouge.
• Lifelong horticulturalist Tom Johnson will talk about the historical significance of the Magnolia Plantation in Charleston, S.C., in introducing more than 150 cultivars of Japonica to America from the 1840s to 1940, and its efforts to organize and implement a worldwide search for pre-1900 Ancient Camellias, which are in threat of extinction. Johnson will discuss how to grow and care for camellias and present information about a select group of older, often difficult to find Camellias that will be available for sale the day of the symposium through the Baton Rouge Camellia Society.
• Florence Crowder, representing the Baton Rouge Camellia Society, will talk about a new pre-1900s camellia garden presently at the LSU AgCenter Botanic Gardens. It has been recognized as an International Camellia Society Garden of Excellence, consisting of plants grown from cuttings from established gardens throughout North America and Europe.
• G. Mike Shoup, owner of The Antique Rose Emporium, an eight-acre garden center in Brenham, Texas, will talk about the versatility of these antique roses for the home gardener. Old garden roses are time-tested survivors. Many have resided in old neighborhoods and cemeteries, happily growing with no care from human hands. Shoup will also talk about how rose varieties have various personalities or persona that can influence their garden usage, as well as addressing the practical nature of rose usefulness. These qualities are important for the gardener intent on providing the right rose for the right garden setting. His new book, "Empress of the Garden," delves into this nature and will be available for sale, along with a selection of antique roses from his garden center.
• Robbi Will, who earned a degree in horticulture from Texas A&M University and is currently the sales representative for The Antique Rose Emporium, has been playing in the dirt, smelling flowers and exploring the outdoors as long as she can remember. Will's presentation will cover pass-along and heirloom perennials that have shaped and contributed to the Southern gardening heritage and remain a time-tested palate of plants relevant for today's gardener.
Participants will also have the chance to shop the Hilltop Garden Book and Nature Shop and purchase plants during a hospitality break and brunch. Speakers from the symposium will be on hand for book signings.
Symposium tickets are available for immediate purchase for holiday gift-giving. Ticket prices are $50 for Friends of Hilltop members and $65 for non-members.
Registration is required for this event. Online registration is available by emailing hilltop@tigers.lsu.edu or visiting www.lsu.edu/hilltop. Phone registration can be made at 225-767-6916.


Proper skin care is much more important than you may think. The best thing about this is that it's easy to do. A bit of daily effort every day can leave you with beautiful skin. The information here will guide you to a great skin care regimen.
Spend as much time outside if you have acne. Try to spend some time outdoors for a while each day.The sun gives your skin vitamin D, which promotes healthy skin.
Exfoliate at least three times each week to maintain healthy skin. Try a scrub that's used solely for the face. Use an exfoliating product that is moisturizing exfoliant if you have sensitive skin.You are going to have radiant skin if you exfoliate.
Avoid alcohol if you want healthier skin.One drink daily is fine, but keep in mind that alcohol makes skin oily and enlarge your pores. This can get clogged more easily and dirty.
Tanning is a mistake if you long-term problems. Many people are under the assumption that a tan will make them look younger, even though it actually has the opposite effect. Tanning is nothing but skin damage and causes premature aging.
The following are some great ideas for alleviating the symptoms of eczema.Do not use any detergents or body lotions that contain a strong perfumed scent. Wearing only clothing made of natural plant fibers such as cotton is one more helpful tip. Wool or synthetic fabrics sometimes cause a bad reaction with eczema. Use make up that does not have any dyes or chemicals. By following these tips, you can dodge eczema flare-ups and protect your skin from irritation.
Wearing sunscreen is a simple way of taking good care of your skin.The sun is the greatest threats to skin. Using sunscreen is a lot of sun causes. You could also wear a moisturizer or foundation that includes sun-blocking ingredients.
If you find yourself constantly picking at hangnails, stop them from appearing in the first place by keeping your fingernails moisturized. The most beneficial products for this kind of skin contain shea butter. Picking at hangnails can cause infection and even painful infections.
Make sure you read the label on your favorite bottle of sunscreen. The ingredients included in sunscreen vary. The most effective sunscreens that protect your skin from harmful UV rays should contain at least one broad-spectrum ingredient, such as avobenzone, titanium dioxide, or zinc oxide. You should read labels to discover the label to identify any ingredients that could irritate your skin.
This article is designed specifically to help you achieve the skin you really want. Skin care is an often overlooked part of overall physical health, and hopefully this article set the record straight and you've started working towards your new skin. Great skin care does not take very much time, and a little bit of effort goes a long way.
