Antibody response to infection in multiple myeloma. Implications for vaccination
The American Journal of Medicine
C M NolanC E Frasch
We report the humoral immune response of a patient with multiple myeloma to rapidly successive episodes of meningococcal and pneumococcal meningitis. Specific antibody responses included a high bactericidal titer (1:640) against the infecting meningococcus and a sharp increase (from 198 to 8,097 ng/ml antibody nitrogen) in antibody to the type-specific capsular polysaccharide of the infecting pneumococcus. These data, showing the production of protective antibodies against the two pathogens, suggest that some patients with multiple myeloma might also respond to appropriately administered bacterial vaccines. This fact should be ascertained because vaccination could potentially reduce the high rate of bacterial infections associated with this disease.

This dissertation addresses timing and synchronization methodologies that are critical to the design, analysis and optimization of high-performance, integrated digital VLSI systems. As process sizes shrink and design complexities increase, achieving timing closure for digital VLSI circuits becomes a significant bottleneck in the integrated circuit design flow. Circuit designers are motivated to investigate and employ alternative methods to satisfy the timing and physical design performance targets. Such novel methods for the timing and synchronization of complex circuitry are developed in this dissertation and analyzed for performance and applicability.Mainstream integrated circuit design flow is normally tuned for zero clock skew, edge-triggered circuit design. Non-zero clock skew or multi-phase clock synchronization is seldom used because the lack of design automation tools increases the length and cost of the design cycle. For similar reasons, level-sensitive registers have not become an industry standard despite their superior size, speed and power consumption characteristics compared to conventional edge-triggered flip-flops.In this dissertation, novel design and analysis techniques that fully automate the design and analysis of non-zero clock skew circuits are presented. Clock skew scheduling of both edge-triggered and level-sensitive circuits are investigated in order to exploit maximum circuit performances. The effects of multi-phase clocking on non-zero clock skew, level-sensitive circuits are investigated leading to advanced synchronization methodologies. Improvements in the scalability of the computational timing analysis process with clock skew scheduling are explored through partitioning and parallelization.The integration of the proposed design and analysis methods to the physical design flow of integrated circuits synchronized with a next-generation clocking technology-resonant rotary clocking technology-is also presented. Based on the design and analysis methods presented in this dissertation, a computer-aided design tool for the design of rotary clock synchronized integrated circuits is developed.

Q: Xamarin: Block sleep mode while running a process Sometimes it is required to turn off sleep mode in the application while a lengthy process is running. When the process has done, sleep mode can be turned on again.
How to do that in Xamarin, for Android and iOS projects?

A: We'll make an interface and use DependencyService to run platform-specific implementation in the platform-agnostic project.
In the platform agnostic project create an interface:
namespace MyCompany.Services {
    public interface ISleepModeHandler
    {
        public void BlockSleepMode(bool blockSleepMode);
    }
}

In the Android project:

*

*In the AndroidManifest.xml file, add this permission:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

*Add Xamarin.Essentials dependency to the platform-agnostic and to the android project. And don't forget to initialize Xamarin.Essentials in the android project.

*Create the class:
using Android.Views;
using MyCompany.Android.Services;
using MyCompany.Services
using Xamarin.Essentials;
using Xamarin.Forms;

[assembly: Dependency(typeof(SleepModeHandlerForDroid))]
namespace MyCompany.Android.Services
{
    public class SleepModeHandlerForDroid : ISleepModeHandler
    {
        public void BlockSleepMode(bool blockSleepMode)
        {
            Xamarin.Forms.Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() =>
            {
                MainActivity activity = (MainActivity)Platform.CurrentActivity;

                if (blockSleepMode)
                {
                    activity.Window.AddFlags(WindowManagerFlags.KeepScreenOn);
                }
                else
                {
                    activity.Window.ClearFlags(WindowManagerFlags.KeepScreenOn);
                }
            });
        }
    }
}

*In iOS project create the class:

using MyCompany.Services;
using MyCompany.iOS.Services;
using UIKit;
using Xamarin.Forms;

[assembly: Dependency(typeof(SleepModeHandlerForiOS))]
namespace MyCompany.iOS.Services
{
    [Foundation.Preserve(AllMembers = true)]
    public class SleepModeHandlerForiOS : ISleepModeHandler
    {
        public void BlockSleepMode(bool blockSleepMode)
        {
            Xamarin.Forms.Device.BeginInvokeOnMainThread(() =>
            {
                UIApplication.SharedApplication.IdleTimerDisabled = blockSleepMode;
            });
        }
    }
}

That's it. Now, in platform agnostic module, when you want to block sleep mode while processing, and turn it on afterwards use the following approach:
ISleepModeHandler sleepModeHandler = DependencyService.Get<ISleepModeHandler>();
sleepModeHandler.BlockSleepMode(true); // blocking the sleep mode

// your process goes here

sleepModeHandler.BlockSleepMode(false); // allowing the sleep mode again

UK hotel industry on a roll, experts say
15 OCTOBER 2015 8:40 AM
Speakers during the Annual Hotel Conference painted a rosy picture of hotel performance both in London and the regions.
By Terence Baker
tbaker@hotelnewsnow.com
@terencebakerhnn
MANCHESTER, England—The United Kingdom hotel industry is on a roll in London and the regions. That much is evident not only in the smiles of those attending the Annual Hotel Conference in Manchester, but also in the number of attendees.
The conference's economic "State of the union" address was given by Trevor Williams, the chief economist at Lloyds Commercial Banking. He said "the global glut of oil will persist until the end of 2016 (even if) Saudi Arabia will start pumping a lot more oil soon."
The U.K., fortunately, boasts the supply-side economies to thwart any associated inflation growth. One caveat would certainly be if the United States raises interest rates, which murmurs suggest might happen next year.
But coming back to the U.K., things look good. Hoteliers need to leverage this position by communicating even more so with guests to not lose further ground to online travel agencies, said Kevin Roberts, executive chairman at advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi, during an opening keynote.
Bottom line: Do not slap yourselves on the back. Get out there, understand your guest, offer them what they want, and continuously see ways of adding value to their journey and to your assets.
Slide of the day
London will see significant pipeline activity in the next couple of years. It will temper performance even if the U.K. capital can cope with increased numbers. What is worrying some commentators, though, is that estimated 6% increase in 2016. (Source: CBRE Hotels/AM:PM 2015)
"There will be two speeds for 2016: Be a disruptor, or be disrupted."
—Kevin Roberts, executive chairman at advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi
"Hotels have given away pricing power. We cannot differentiate between those who go through an OTA channel and those who go direct, so pricing goes up for everyone."
—Apurva Pratap, VP of distribution and commercial marketing, Europe, InterContinental Hotels Group
The split-level conference hall for the 2015 Annual Hotel Conference being held on 14-15 October in Manchester, England, seems to work in perfect parallel with the joy being felt in the U.K.'s two markets, London and the provinces. (Photo: Terence Baker)
Interesting factoid of the day
David Bailey, senior director at business consultancy CBRE, said London will see a pipeline of 20,769 rooms in 2016, "which will come without the fillip of an Olympic Games. But if any market can, London can."
Third party websites are hurting brands by giving a warped image of their quality with misleading discount figures, says Apurva. #AHC2015
— The AHC (@AnnualHotelConf) October 14, 2015
Is it because the hotel industry is feeling happy with itself that a few more hoteliers are feeling bold enough to take pot shots at OTAs? Hoteliers quite often need OTAs, and the feeling at the conference was that hoteliers are way behind the eight ball. The clever chains are those that use OTAs as partners in an overall strategy.

Walker praises Guardiola influence
Pep Guardiola signed Kyle Walker from Tottenham four years ago
Manchester City full-back Kyle Walker says playing under Pep Guardiola has helped him to understand football better.
The 31-year-old has been a first-team regular under Guardiola since the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss signed him from Tottenham in 2017.
Speaking to BBC Radio 5, Walker praised his manager's influence on his career.
"He is the one who has made me understand football so much better," he said.
He added: "Do I think I could have played in a back three five years ago? Definitely not. I think my understanding of the game, my knowledge of the game - where the press is going to come from, learning to go into the midfield, to balance it off people, come in to receive the ball at the correct angle. So many little things you don't really hear of."
In a wide-ranging interview on the Friday Football Social, Walker covered many subjects - from his team-mates, the difference between Guardiola and England boss Gareth Southgate and how long he hopes to keep playing football.
Football Daily podcast: All About Kyle Walker
Champions League and Euro 2020 final defeats 'lowest of my career'England lost to Italy on penalties in the final of Euro 2020 this summer
During his time at Manchester City, Walker has won the Premier League three times, the League Cup four times and the FA Cup once.
He came close to adding Champions League and international success to that list this year, but City lost to Chelsea in the Champions League final in May before England were beaten by Italy on penalties in the Euro 2020 final.
"I had a tough six weeks," he said.
"I had just lost the Champions League final as well, it was a tough one to swallow and probably one of the lowest moments, definitely, of my career.
"We scored an early goal. I remember running with my arms out and I thought we are going to actually do this. I believed in us, I believed in the manager, the players around me on the field and the subs who could come on.
"You get to the end of it and it is the flip of a coin. Every one of the lads who came on and took a penalty I take my hat off to them, I don't think I could have done it. To let someone down is my biggest fear.
"It is football and it happens and we had to move on."
Walker wants Champions League and World Cup successManchester City have won three Premier League titles while Kyle Walker has been at the club
England have not won a major trophy since 1966 but do not have to wait long for another opportunity to win silverware with the World Cup taking place in Qatar next year.
Walker is hopeful he can go one better for club and country after they fell just short this year.
He added: "The owners have invested so much into the club, for them to win the Champions League would be massive and for us as players, I don't think anyone has done it. That says a lot. Now we have been to the final it is ticked off and next is to win it.
"It is the same same for England. We'd reached the final, now I want to go lift the trophy at the end, if it is the Champions League or the World Cup.
"I don't want to stop winning. Once you get the bug of walking up the steps to Wembley or lifting the Premier League trophy, it's addictive and I want to keep doing it for as long as I can."
'As long as I'm enjoying it I'll keep doing it'
Walker will be 32 by the time of the next World Cup but the former Sheffield United player says he has no intention of retiring from football anytime soon.
"I'll go until my legs don't want to go," he added. "Until they go I'll keep running.
"I made it very clear I want to go back and play for Sheffield United. I started there, played there from when I was six or seven years old.
"If I am dropping down and it is becoming a burden obviously not, but as long as I am still enjoying it I'll keep doing it. I love the banter with the lads. There is never one day I think I don't want to get out of the bed.
"As soon as that stops I will stop."

Toronto Baroque Ensemble performs inaugural concert in Old Ottawa South concert series.
The newly-refurbished Ottawa South Firehall Community Centre is about to become the venue to a new concert series in town. Beginning this Saturday, the 25th, Sirens of Firehall will have three concerts this season, each a month apart.
Toronto's Aradia Baroque Ensemble, directed by Kevin Mallon, will kick off the series with a program entitled Cappriccio Stavagante. The program will include the title work by Farina, as well as works by Strozzi, Vivaldi, Castello, and, notably, two commissioned works for period instruments by Rose Bolton and Chris Meyer.
Aradia, since its creation in 1996, has recorded 50 CDs under the Naxos label and performs regularly in Toronto. The period-instrument ensemble has toured both nationally and internationally and has a regular summer residency in Italy.
Mallon, also the new director of Ottawa's Thirteen Strings Chamber Orchestra, is "extremely interested in exploring the idea of Aradia having a series in Ottawa," and this concert looks to give him a good feel for things to come. Mallon says he's pleased with "having a relationship with a specific community like Old Ottawa South," as it would help develop a following for Aradia within the city.
Full details on the concert can be read here.
8pm, Saturday, February 25th, 2012, Ottawa South Firehall Community Centre, 260 Sunnyside Ave.
Tickets for this OSCA event ($25/15s&s) are available at the Firehall, www.oldottawasouth.ca, & at The Leading Note, 370 Elgin.

What was an excellent performance at Knox Presbyterian yesterday evening; Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas nonetheless contained one or two quirks throughout, in the spirit of the work's already peculiar characteristics.
The lofty acoustic was both a blessing and a curse for the seven-strong orchestra, with finite articulations easily lost, but the 'boom' from the stone-walled sanctuary giving the illusion of a much larger ensemble. Fortunately for the TEM choir, who sang frequently in the Opera as well as three other selections by Purcell and Tallis, the hall could only make their clear, almost angelic, voices and, consequently, the spirits of their audience; soar even higher.

Q: How to show or hide a button depending on the page in React I'm actually kinda new to React, and I'm still learning, so I cannot figure out how to display my button depending on which page I currently am on my app.
I'm using Router v6.
This is my Router with my components inside:
     <Router>
        <Navbar />
        <Routes>
          <Route
            path="/"
            element={<HomePage />} />
          <Route
            path="/CountryPage"
            element={<CountryPage />} />
        </Routes>
      </Router>

This is my navbar:
const Navbar = () => {
  return (

              <Link to="/" className="home"> <AiOutlineLeft /> </Link>

              Current Tab

              <BsFillGearFill className="settings" />

  );
};

So all I want is to display the button that is
 <Link to="/" className="home"> <AiOutlineLeft /> </Link>
 only if I am not in the HomePage So if I am in the Homepage I don't want to show anything.
Any idea?

A: window.location.href is a out-of-the-box JS method you should use if you don't have your routing managed by some better library (like react router). Also, here, instead of just the pathname, you actually have to check the entire URL.
So your corrected code for this method would be
{ window.location.href !=== "yoursubdomian.yourdomain.extension/" &&
 <Link to="/" className="home"> <AiOutlineLeft /> </Link>

My advice would be that try a systematic approach using the provisions React Router itself provides
Use the useLocation() hook to extract the pathname of the current route and check it for rendering the <Link/>
const Navbar = () => {
  const location = useLocation()

  return (

            {location.pathname !=="/" &&

                 <Link to="/" className="home"> <AiOutlineLeft /> </Link>

            }

              Current Tab

              <BsFillGearFill className="settings" />

  );
};

For a long time, the 2019 BMW X6 was the only one of its kind--and while it's lonely at the top, it found plenty of attention from South Carolina drivers who'd been begging for a crossover that truly stood out.
Over the years, the industry has presented a few challengers--other high-riding coupe crosses that tried to mimic the clean-and-classic look of the unique and charismatic BMW X6.
It is imperative to keep your vehicle's engine in good condition to maximize performance. When your vehicle's engine begins to overheat, it is recommended to get it inspected by a mechanic as soon as possible to prevent serious damage. Here are a few reasons your vehicle's engine may be overheating.
Low coolant levels is one of the most common reasons an engine will overheat. When the coolant is low, the cooling system is hindered.
While you have probably heard of automotive gaskets, you might be uncertain about what they are and what they do. We can gladly help.
Every auto features gaskets. These parts are vital to a car's proper operation. Under the hood, gaskets separate metal surfaces and keep gasses and liquids from mixing and causing costly problems. Manufacturers use rubber, layered metal or a combination of both to create automotive gaskets.
Some terms about vehicles get thrown around all of the time. The term "transmission" is one of those terms. At Rick Hendrick BMW Charleston in Charleston, SC, we want you to have as much knowledge as possible, so we're here to give you the scoop on this often-used term.
A transmission is the part of the vehicle that transfers power from the engine to the wheels, and without it, your car simply doesn't move.
If you get into your car and the engine won't turn over because of a dead battery, knowing how to jump start your car can save you from an expensive towing bill. By following these simple steps, you can easily get your dead battery started.
Connect the red jumper cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery and a working car's battery.
Do Your Windshield Wiper Blades Require Replacing?
You probably don't think much about your car's windshield wipers until the just don't work well on a rainy day. Ineffective windshield wipers can create a dangerous situation when the rain comes down because your visibility might end up greatly impaired. Worn out windshield wipers must be changed quickly.
Vehicles that are equipped with traditional or sporty engine hardware use gasoline to generate energy. Throughout this process, the fuel heats up as it travels to major engine components. When emissions are produced in an engine, the muffler and exhaust components strategically reduce the pollution that floats into the environment. If a muffler needs maintenance or repairs, an engine will generate loud sounds.
Before you try to tow any size vehicle, working through a safety checklist will ensure you get to where you are going without any trouble. Minimizing chances of an accident begin with these safety tips.
Check the hitch on your vehicle to see the rating. If it is not rated high enough for the load you will be towing, don't take a chance. The hitch should be able to handle more than the expected weight.
What is the Difference Between Temporary and Full-size Spare Tires?
Not every vehicle these days comes with a full-size spare tire that matches the size of the four tires on the axels. Some are sold with a compact temporary spare tire, sometimes known as a donut. A compact temporary spare has a number of limitations of which you should be aware if you have one riding in your trunk.
You may have heard the timing belt referred to as a timing chain. This may leave you wondering which is in your vehicle and how to take care of it. Let's clear up some of the confusion.
The timing belt is connected to the crankshaft and the camshaft. It helps keep the valves opening and closing at the proper time, which is essential to keeping the engine running.

Rival fronts bury differences, join hands against CAA
CM reiterates that State will not implement Act and NRC
December 17, 2019 12:39 am | Updated December 24, 2019 02:35 pm IST - THIRUVANANTHAPURAM
Agriculture Minister V.S.Sunil Kumar and Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan share a lighter moment with Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala during the inauguration of a convention in Thiruvananthapuram on Monday to discuss the impact of the RCEP trade treaty.
In a rare coming together of political forces against the Centre, the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government on Monday joined hands with the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) Opposition to protest against the enactment of the recently legislated Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA).
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Leader of the Opposition Ramesh Chennithala joined a galaxy of Ministers, political leaders and heads of social organisations to condemn the BJP-sponsored law as patently unconstitutional and discriminative against Muslim migrants aspiring for Indian citizenship.
'Religion as criterion'
Mr. Vijayan stood his ground on the State's refusal to implement the CAA and the National Register of Citizens (NRC). He alleged that the Centre aspired to lead the country through a descent into theocracy by fixing religion as the criterion for citizenship. None of the earlier amendments introduced to the Citizenship Act, 1955 had sought to differentiate the people on the basis of their faith.
He also questioned the rationale behind excluding suppressed minorities from Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and Nepal with which India shared land and maritime borders.
"While the legislation has included Afghanistan with which the country did not share a border, the Centre has deliberately refused to consider the long-standing demand of 73,000-odd Tamil refugees from Sri Lanka and the numerous Rohingya Muslims from Myanmar to grant them citizenship," he said.
'Pall of fear'
Mr. Chennithala said a pall of fear had descended over the country with the law upending the idea of a nation that was built on liberty and equality. While the Centre has used its enforcement agencies to intimidate its political detractors, it has also cowed the corporate media, writers and intellectuals into submission.
Pointing out that the legislation was the first one that differentiated citizens on the lines of religion, Mr. Chennithala also likened the scenario to the formation of Israel as a Jewish homeland which had been the long-standing goal of Zionist organisations.
Citing instances from the past, Law Minister A.K. Balan said the Centre cannot impose the legislation upon States in a unilateral manner.

Providing play-on music, plus play-off music if the award winner spoke beyond the time limit, the awards show included 50 awards and presentations in 78 minutes, an amazing feat for any awards type event. The music director, Connie Olivera, carefully selected songs to match the theme of the theatre in which the event took place. 50 different songs were used, matching the award itself, such as "Chameleon" for Best Adaption of a Play or Musical, "I'm Beginning to See the Light" for Best Lighting Design, or "Maiden Voyage" for Best Original New Play or Musical.


Amarone della Valpolicella is today unanimously recognized one of the most important of the Italian red wines. It is very appreciated by demanding consumers all over the world.
It originated as an evolution of Recioto, one of the most ancient wines in the history.
Amarone is produced in strict accordance with the rules and is patiently left maturating until it becomes unique in the world and incomparable with its vivid bright colour, intense cherry, currant, chocolate, spices hints.
Rich in substance, well-structured, full but at the same time soft, elegant perfectly balanced; very pleasant, soft, long-lasting to the palate.

It's FREE to build your app. Pay when you publish. All packages are fully loaded.
Mobile SDKs, Frameworks and tools for games and application development including everything you need to create amazing apps , embed ADs , monetisation and analytics components to make the best out of it.
BuildFire is one of the newer DIY app builders in the market today. Like most DIY builders out there, it's primarily drag and drop with built in themes and features, which allow pretty much anyone to build a 'mobile' app in a few minutes.
But what sets this platform apart from all the other app builders is the developer account, which allows the app developers to build apps using BuildFire and customize the app or create plugins using BuildFire's SDK. BuildFire is also actively marketing its While Label packages to encourage companies and individual developers to actively use and promote their system.
Let's dig deeper into what BuildFire can do and whether it can really deliver on its promise of creating custom native apps in minutes.
Let's first look at BuildFire as a DIY app creation software before we delve deeper into the developer platform. Like most commercial app builders in the market, all you need to do is sign up for an account to start building your app. And like most app builders, they also offer a free trial that allows you to use the features and create your own app, but you need to subscribe to paid services in order to publish.
The actual app creation involves a 3-step process. First, you need to select a template based on your needs or industry. Next, you design, define and preview your application using the design options, by selecting plugins, or by creating your plugins and modifying the templates through the BuildFireJS framework. Last is when you finally publish your app and market it on Google Play or iTunes.
Compared to most DIY app builders, BuildFire offers more customizable design options by providing more themes, layout options, fonts and icon styles. It doesn't really allow a lot of flexibility, but it's just enough so that users can brand and personalize their own BuildFire app so it doesn't look like it was created completely from a template.
Each theme comes with built-in plugins that users can modify by changing the labels, introducing content or providing links. Additional plugins can also be installed by simply selecting the plugin you want from the plugin page, or by entering the license key of the plugin you want to install. Some of the plugins available include multimedia, social media, loyalty programs, chat, Google apps, Dropbox, OpenTable, and online e-commerce options, such as Shopify and WooCommerce. For premium accounts, you can include more plugins like in-app browser or Bluetooth and the push notification is activated.
Throughout the entire process, a preview is generated for both Android and iOS so you can see the user interface at every step of the way.
Other BuildFire features that make it attractive as a development platform are the built-in analytics and publishing capabilities. This means you can submit your app directly to the iOS and Android store and keep track of how well your app is selling. BuildFire even offers the option of creating an iOS or Android account for you, which is included in the subscription, so you can build and publish your app all within a single account.
What are the advantages of using BuildFire?
The most obvious advantage of using BuildFire is that it's easy to use. The basic user interface is intuitive and it also comes with an extensive library that provides examples and tutorials for non-developers.
Even on the developer side, ample documentation is provided with numerous resources to make it easy even for newbie developers to get started. All the plugins in the GitHub are open source so you can fork over most standard plugins, modify and resell for your own use. You save tons of time and money not having to code standard features, and just focus on your client's business specific needs.
Design-wise, apps created using BuildFire look more professional. And with customization, it can even have that native look and feel. Compared to other DIY app builders, BuildFire comes with more business friendly plugins and supports more types of media. The emulator, test app and debugger gives developers a lot of room to perfect the app and minimize errors before publishing on Android and iOS app stores. As an added bonus, BuildFire promises to take care of OS compatibility issues when you create apps using their platform. So no need to worry the next time iOS updates.
What are the disadvantages of using BuildFire?
One big disadvantage of BuildFire is that you can't submit your app to the Windows Store. So BuildFire really can't claim to be a fully cross platform development tool. And lately there have been numerous complaints online of the lack of customer support, especially for resellers who have been lead to believe that these apps are native.

This year's Interihotel trade fair, one of the leading European fairs in the industry of interior architecture for hotels, will take place in the Barcelona Convention Centre from the 25th to the 27th of October.
As was to be expected, Saxun will attend the InteriHotel fair for the first time to present our latest updates in solar protection systems to the heads of major hotel chains, as well as to demonstrate our wide range of roller blinds. During the three-day fair, around 1,200 hotel projects, from restorations to new constructions, will pass by our firm's stand with the aim of finding the most comfortable, efficient and aesthetically pleasing solutions.
At this year's fair, the organisation hopes to exceed the figures of the previous year, when more than 200 stands welcomed 4,000 professionals looking to find out the latest trends in a market that is becoming more and more demanding.

What Are the Imaging Findings of Male Breast Disease?
by admin August 11, 2022 December 19, 2022 027
If you are a man, you may want to know more about the differences between male and female breast diseases. A male breast is susceptible to the same pathological processes as a female breast. Thankfully, these conditions have imaging findings that help distinguish between clearly benign and malignant diseases. Among the most common male breast abnormalities, gynecomastia, a number of imaging features differentiate it from a malignant mass. For a clinically suspicious group, mammography is often used as the initial imaging modality. The biopsy is usually performed under US guidance.
Fibrocystic breast disease
Sclerosing adenosis
Fibroadenomas
Fat necrosis
While the condition is commonly known as lumpy breasts, several other names include mammary dysplasia, diffuse cystic mastopathy, and chronic cystic mastitis. The most common symptoms of fibrocystic breast disease are lumpy breasts that are often mobile and may feel like tiny beads. This breast disorder is usually caused by monthly hormonal changes that a woman goes through as she prepares for pregnancy. These hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, cause the cells to multiply and grow.
A doctor may order an ultrasound to determine the cause of the lump. These tests may help distinguish a chunk from normal breast tissue, or they may request a biopsy to confirm fibrocystic breast disease. A biopsy involves removing a sample of tissue or fluid from the lump. However, most women with fibrocystic breast disease will not need further medical intervention, as the condition is usually benign and does not require surgery. Instead, home treatments for fibrocystic breast disease can relieve the pain and discomfort associated with this condition.
Sclerosing adenosis of the breast is a benign abnormality that occurs most commonly in women aged 30 to 45. It accounts for 12% of breast biopsy specimens and has no direct link to breast cancer. It does not represent a precancerous lesion, although sometimes malignant lesions develop within the lesions. Despite its benign nature, sclerosing adenosis is associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer by two to fourfold.
Sclerosing adenosis may be asymptomatic or difficult to detect during a clinical breast exam. It is often diagnosed during a mammogram or after tests for another breast problem. Some women may also notice a small lump or pain in their breasts, but these symptoms rarely occur. In some women, the pain worsens before their period. Core biopsy is another test used to diagnose sclerosing adenosis. This involves inserting a hollow needle into the breast and removing a tissue sample. Several samples may be taken to ensure that there are no abnormalities.
While fibroadenomas are not cancerous, they may cause concern for women. Most are not painful and range in size from a marble to a golf ball. They usually come and go in their own time. Still, some can be difficult to detect during a self-breast examination. They feel like marbles and are firm or rubbery in texture. If you notice a lump in your breast, you should schedule a doctor's appointment immediately.

When performed in young women, most fibroadenomas are identified on incidental breast exams. However, avoiding assuming that all firm, rubbery lesions are benign without a biopsy is vital. Because they may be malignant, healthcare providers should refer the patient to a radiologist or breast surgeon to perform further testing. Even if a fibroadenoma is benign, missed diagnosis can lead to poor patient outcomes.
A superficial breast mass can be due to fat necrosis, a type of cell death. Fat cells die due to a lack of oxygenated blood. When the dead cells die, enzyme action breaks up the fat into smaller molecules, which are absorbed by the bloodstream. The calcium deposits result. This is why a breast mass with this characteristic appearance is often suspicious of cancer. If your doctor suspects fat necrosis, you should have a mammogram as soon as possible.
The first sign of fat necrosis is bleeding in the fat layer. As the fat layer continues to die, it becomes firmer and indurated. Fat necrosis may also develop into a cyst containing oily fluid. The cyst walls can also be calcified. Multinucleated giant cells and histiocytes may also be present. Eventually, the lesion will undergo fibrosis and calcification.
Women often develop cysts in their breasts during their middle to late thirties. Still, some young women also develop this condition. Cysts tend to be round and movable under the skin and can cause pain, tenderness, and lumpiness in the breast. They may also increase during a woman's menstrual cycle. Cysts are usually benign but may require surgery if they become more extensive or complex.
Because of their size and location, breast cysts fall into two categories: micro and macrocysts. Microcysts are too small to feel but may be visible on imaging tests. Macrocysts are more noticeable and can measure up to one to two inches in diameter. Large cysts can cause pain and discomfort as they press on the adjacent breast tissue.

A pre-amp can be useful to bring a passive bass up to the level of active ones.
But basically the point of a pre-amp - whether outboard or onboard is that with passive amplification you cannot actually boost frequences only cut them.
A pre-amp allows you to shape the tone to suit what you want and the environment - room etc.
Most combos and amp heads will have a pre-amp built in, as will active basses - so I doubt you have never used one.
But I presume you mean you have never used a "separate" pre-amp.
Bruce, you are correct. I should have clarified what I meant. I was talking about a seperate pre-amp. I knew there were pre-amps built into certain amplifiers and heads but was just curiouis about the seperate ones. You answered my question. Thank you.
A separate preamp offers more flexibility. You can pair it with any poweramp you like. They're also usually designed for more flexibility than internal preamps.
Tech21 Bass Driver Di is a separate preamp ?
YOu DO need and use a preamp whatever happens, somewhere in your chain.
In a rack setup, usually the preamp shapes the sound, and the power amp makes that sound louder.
I use a Mesa Basstriaxis (hence the name), and a Mesa Coliseum 300 power amp. I like having my pre and power separate because it gives me more options for power matching, patching options, and makes repair situations easier. If my pre goes out, that's what goes to the shop, not the whole rig. Nice!
There are some great examples in the "Show us your amps" thread (mine is especially great ).
Toronto ON - Beauty, eh?
modular setups almost always sound better than an integrated head, simply because you're likely to have a poweramp with more output (more headroom, better tone) than the alternative. having said that, i'd like to state that i would trade in my rack setup anyday for an eden valvetech series head.


So a couple of exciting things are happening tomorrow. Number 1 on my personal list is the release of the Obsidian trailer. It's going to be epic, I've been reading Onyx and I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to wait for Opal to be released.
Get the details on Jennifer Armentrout's site. I highly anticipate fainting.....trust me they are just as beautiful in person as on the screen.


Can anyone recommend a dog barrier that will fit in a Honda CR-V 2017? I have a Great Dane/Black Lab rescue and need to find a safe way to travel with him. Also, any recommendations for a safety clip so he doesn't jump out the back with the back door/trunk goes up? Thank you!
I have a siberian husky and have been using this one for quite some time in my CR-V. No problems at all.
I just use a cheap black cargo net with 4 strap fasteners I got on Amazon. I clip it to the bars on both seats and to the panic handles near the ceiling. My dog can still stick his head around it on the passenger side but it keeps him from flying into the front seats on a sharp brake. He could easily get into the front if he really wanted to, but he minds. I think Wreckenmall's idea is better if your dog is more active.

An Unexpected Journey
I DO, I DO! Even her upcoming nuptials couldn't keep young dressage pro Christine Landry from making the trip to the Finals with her horse, Santino
By Jennifer M. Keeler
Photographs By SusanJStickle.com
For young dressage professional Christine Landry, of East Dennis, MA, competing at the US Dressage Finals wasn't even a pipe dream. But when a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity presents itself from the most unlikely of circumstances, as Landry put it, "You have to make it happen."
A lifelong dressage enthusiast, Landry, now 26, got her big break after graduating from high school, when she became a working student for "the Bills" William Warren and Bill McMullin. She worked at Warren-
McMullin Dressage in Stoughton, MA, for three years while earning a business degree from Framingham (MA) State University.
Then another door opened: "I got a job working for Steffen and Shannon Peters in San Diego from 2011 to 2012," Landry said. "It was incredible; the amount of knowledge I gained was amazing."
During her stint, Landry accompanied Lientje Schueler, then assistant trainer at Team Peters, on a trip to Germany. "While we were there I saw Santino, who was a three-year-old, and it was love at first sight," Landry recalled. But even as she took the leap to purchase the young Hanoverian, more changes were in the air. "At the same time, I was invited to stay and train [in Germany]. So I went home for the summer, finished my job in San Diego, and went back to Germany, where I was reunited with Santino. I eventually brought him home the following year, and we started doing the Four-Year-Old classes. He was always super-talented."
But before long, the honeymoon was over. "When he turned five, everything changed. All of a sudden he became a real handful—just so unhappy and naughty to work with. No one could figure out what was happening or why, and it just went on and on with no answer in sight. It felt like a dead end, and I was devastated for both of us," said Landry. "Finally, out of desperation, we did a nuclear scan, and everything lit up. The vet was like, 'Huh, maybe we should have checked for Lyme disease earlier.' But who would have thought it?"
After a lengthy course of treatment, Santino slowly reverted to the horse Landry had fallen in love with. "It turned out that all the bad behavior was result of the physical symptoms he was experiencing from Lyme, but we didn't know it. All of a sudden, his great attitude was back. He seemed to say, 'OK, I can do this,' and he was my teammate again."
Having lost nearly a year, the young pair cautiously returned to showing in the spring of 2015. They started out at First Level and immediately qualified for the Great American/USDF Region 8 Championship. So "We went ahead and tried Second Level, and he just got better and better and suddenly we were qualified for that too," said Landry. "We went to Regionals, and he won! The Finals weren't ever on my radar because I was just so grateful to have my horse back. Then we received the Finals invitation, and I couldn't believe it. It was surreal to even think that we could have made it after what we'd been through."
Although the invitation was tempting, Landry had concerns about attending the Finals. She was working full-time for Massachusetts-based Grand Prix-level rider and trainer Cindi Rose Wylie. Money was tight, and the prospect of making the thousand-mile trip to Kentucky was daunting. What's more, Landry had her mind on something even more important: her upcoming wedding.
As it has for several other Finals competitors, crowdfunding saved the day. Explained Landry: "I set up a GoFundMe account, and a lot of friends really helped out with donations. My fiancé, Chris, and I packed our truck and drove ourselves down, trying to make things as affordable as possible. The weekend before we left for the Finals was like a whirlwind with trying to get wedding stuff done, cake tastings and all that; thank goodness I have my mom to help me! To have all of this happen all at once is just crazy."
The craziness paid off. Landry and the horse she refused to give up on competed in both the First and Second Level divisions at the US Dressage Finals, placing fifth in the hard-fought First Level Open Championship.
"If you want it badly enough, you have to make it happen one way or another," Landry said. "You hope and you pray and you find the money. It's an opportunity that can't be passed up. Now I'll go home and can't wait to wear that wedding dress, but I sure hope to be back."

Why study the 'bad guys'?
To understand violence we must speak to those who commit violence. Conducting research in conflict zones is challenging, and to do it well we must challenge the dictums found in methods handbooks.

More and more researchers are increasingly involved in research projects studying the 'bad guys' and people who perpetuate violence and social injustice. Yet the methodological and ethical challenges in such research are rarely discussed. Why should we study 'bad guys' and what challenges are included?
Researchers have historically avoided getting up close and personal with 'bad guys' such as warlords or criminals. This aversion is not particularly surprising. Fieldwork in difficult and dangerous locations is challenging from both methodological and ethical perspectives. Yet face-to-face research with 'bad guys' is important if we want to understand the root causes of major social and political problems. In order to understand how injustice is produced and experienced by individuals, we have to take seriously the perpetrators of violence from a methodological standpoint.
In this piece I draw on my experiences researching armed groups and patterns of violence in the eastern Congo (DRC) in order to think through the ethical and methodological limitations and difficulties associated with fieldwork focusing on perpetrators of violence. While eastern Congo has its own idiosyncrasies and distinctive characteristics, insights from this case also have broader applications for thinking about how we might go about studying 'traffickers', 'enslavers' and others who perpetuate injustice.
Research challenges
Conflict areas are defined by violence and atrocity, unpredictability, political instability, and widespread poverty and corruption. This generates pervasive fear, insecurity and low levels of trust amongst inhabitants, along with the trauma and suffering associated with the loss of family members, livelihoods and homes. Since conflict areas are also difficult for outsiders to access, there tends to be a shortage of reliable information, and what limited information is available can often be simplistic and sensationalist. Researchers entering such spaces face any number of challenges, especially when the research involves focusing upon groups and individuals who have already committed violence or war crimes. Most obviously, it may be difficult to gain access to field sites, since many perpetrators and armed groups are suspicious and reluctant to speak to 'outsiders', especially when it comes to questions about past atrocities.
There are also challenges regarding the 'knowledge' you can produce from this kind of research. For example, how can we trust analysis and interpretation that may be 'tainted' by crisis and insecurity? Are researchers even coping with the existential crises that may affect their theory building? What of the dangers of 'humanising the inhumane' or the analytical problems that may arise if researchers begin to empathise with perpetrators and thereby lose critical detachment? There is also the further danger that researchers can end up empowering violent perpetrators by giving them attention, or reproducing their ideologies and perspectives by writing about them. All of these ethical and methodological factors need to be taken into account as part of efforts to better understand how violence is motivated, produced and acted out.
Research ethics are an integral part of any study involving human beings. Most academic ethical guidelines state that researchers must protect the names and identities of informants, ensure confidentiality, avoid harm or misuse of information, and protect the safety, dignity, and the privacy of informants. While these guidelines are motivated by good intentions, many ethics codes simply don't stack up to the reality of research in conflict zones.

For example, my research on one rebel group operating in eastern Congo, whose members are accused of numerous war crimes, comprised much sensitive data on political opinions, controversies surrounding genocide, ethnicity, political affiliations, names of enemy groups, or narratives given by individuals who have participated in brutal violence. I tried my best to make sure that I did not reveal the identity of informants. I changed names and used coded language when I dealt with data that included names of places or groups.
But was this enough? Some of my younger informants may not even have been fully aware of how the information they gave me could compromise their security, and so may have revealed secret information that could have been used against them had it ended up in the wrong hands. What to do with these data? Similarly, what to do with data that contain the identity of informants guilty of war crimes? Why protect them? How to write objectively about the seemingly never-ending conflict they are involved in? How to deal with neutrality in a context where neutrality does not exist?
Few method books will provide answers to the questions outlined above. In my research I had to be flexible in terms of ethics and methodology. For example, I found that I had to take responsibility over my informant's security by not including certain data in publications and by making sure that the data were safely stored. I also found that it was more important to highlight my informant's views and standpoints while clearly pointing out that I do not necessarily share the same view as a researcher.
In other cases I have made choices to include personal reflections into the ethnography in order to problematise positionality, objectivity, and neutrality. Even if I strongly disagree with my informants' political views and argue that the violence they have committed can never be justified, I nevertheless believe that, as researchers, our goal is not to judge people's behaviours but to understand their acts as social practice.
Research is never a neutral exercise. This is perhaps even truer when conducting fieldwork in conflict areas and among people who are actively pursuing violence. Regardless of ethical and moral challenges, however, I believe that it is essential to engage with individuals who carry out violence or perpetuate social injustice in order to understand the fuller picture of violence and conflict.
Against the background described above, why should we study perpetrators? Despite many challenges inherent in research in difficult settings I believe it is important to engage with those actors who carry out violence. If social scientists choose not to engage with hostile or war-making individuals, we will never be able to understand the world-views of the actors or the root causes of the conflict, or be able to construct a coherent understanding of why people carry out violence.
In order to understand the lifeworlds, experiences, and ideologies that motivate violence we have to talk to and engage with those who carry out violence. As researchers we should be more flexible in our attitudes towards methods and ethics then strict rules and guidelines often permit. Without challenging methodologies we can never advance theoretically on the structural roots of conflict and domination, and in doing so truly understand conditions and circumstances under which people carry out violence.
Even though research in conflict areas is challenging, and often full of contradictions, in most instances I found that informants made choices to talk to me and about what to say, and that they were the best assessors of the risk of interacting with a foreign researcher. Furthermore, giving voice to marginalised populations, including individuals who are caught up in conflicts as victims or perpetrators, or as enslavers or traffickers, is a core anthropological virtue. The task is to balance this requirement with the obvious ethical and methodological challenges at stake.

You don't need to look very far to see the some compelling evidence for Goal 1 of the capital campaign: dingy walls, unglazed window panes, an awkward chancel configuration which makes performances challenging, a cantankerous sound system, and carpet in a worn-out martini olive pattern.
We can get behind the idea of a new entrance that enhances our welcoming presence and dealing with deferred maintenance is obvious—you need only look at the windowsills of the Fox Building for evidence of that.
No, I'm thinking if there's something you wonder about the capital campaign, it's Goal 2, "Exploring Options for Outreach Ministries." I have been involved in Old First's Outreach Ministries for almost 30 years, initially as an infant volunteer (ok, college-aged, whatever) and later director of Outreach Programs, and always as an enthusiastic supporter of these ministries.
I am acutely aware that my work with Old First's outreach programs made an enormous difference in my life and shaped the person I am today, from my choice of cities in which to live to my career path. It's also why I am a member of Old First today, why my kids are being raised in this congregation, why my parents are here. In fact, I sometimes think that my parents relocation here from Ohio had more to do with Old First than with my family living here!
I am pretty sure there are lots of similar stories from past volunteers, whether long-term volunteers or weekend service camp participants, and from the thousands of folks we have served in our shelter, food and clothing cupboard, and summer and after school programs… stories about how Old First's outreach programs have made a difference in people's lives.
But you shouldn't support the capital campaign's second goal because Outreach Programs have been so important to me and all those other people in the past. You should support it because in many ways, we are doing lots of the same work we were doing 30 years ago, and the underlying issues we have been addressing have only intensified.
Just as Old First led the way as the first church in the city to open its doors to Bethesda Program's emergency winter shelter program, we need to lead the way in addressing current issues in homelessness, poverty, and education in our city.
We have always been a congregation that takes risks, and our Outreach Ministries are poised to take the next steps in faith.
I'm not talking about just tinkering around the edges of what we already do. I'm talking about committing, the kind of commitment that required when you "put your money where your mouth is."
I can tell you that it's really hard to think outside the box when you are working every day like crazy just to keep the box from collapsing. We work really hard to maintain our current programs. We have incredibly committed volunteers and staff. We have programs that are making a tangible difference in our city.
To be able to figure out where we go from here, we must have the funds to explore the possibilities, the support we need to think outside the box.
That's why I am putting my hand and heart into this capital campaign—and I hope you will too.

Костоправ Георгій Антонович (, Малоянісоль — 14 лютого 1938) — румей, поет і письменник, засновник румейської літератури, національної літератури греків України, редактор маріупольської грецької газети «Колехтивістис», радник ЦК КПУ з питань нацменшин. Писав румейською, українською та російською мовами. .

Життєпис
Народився в сім'ї волосного писаря. З 1910 року навчався у дворічній школі, потім у маріупольському реальному училищі. Перші вірші почав писати ще в першому класі російською мовою. За оцінкою самого автора в «Автобіографії» в 1915–1921 роках він писав дуже багато, але навесні 1921 року знищив всі вірші (до 20 зошитів) і щоденник за 1915–1918 роки.

У 1926 році покликаний до Червоної Армії, після демобілізації залишається в Маріуполі. З грудня 1927 року працює секретарем відділу кадрів на металургійному заводі ім. Ілліча.

З 1931 року Георгій Костоправ починає писати румейською мовою. 7 листопада 1931 року вперше мовою греків Приазов'я була опублікована в газеті «Колехтивістис» присвячена громадянській війні поема Костоправа «Ламбос» — етапна публікація, з якої бере свій початок грецька література нового часу.

У червні 1932 року стає співробітником літературної газети «Колехтивістис», випускає альманах «Неотита». Пізніше створює і очолює два літературних об'єднання поетів-початківців, які також пишуть румейською мовою. Серед його учнів Василь Галла, Антон Шапурма, Леонтій Кир'яков. Поступово у нього зав'язуються творчі контакти з Максимом Горьким, Максимом Рильським, Павлом Тичиною, Дем'яном Бєдним.

На Першому Всесоюзному з'їзді радянських письменників 1934 року Костоправа приймають до Спілки письменників СРСР. Членський квиток № 152 йому підписував особисто Максим Горький, який очолював СП.

З липня по листопад 1934 року працює над своєю другою поемою «Леонтій Хонагбей». В цій поемі використані історичні та легендарні матеріали з життя грецького народного поета-бідняка. Цього ж року поема друкується окремою книжкою.

У 1934 та 1935 роках бере участь у конференціях радянських письменників, які пишуть грецькою мовою, у Ростові-на-Дону.

Свою третю і останню поетичну збірку «Калімера, зісімо!» Костоправ видає 1937 року. До цієї збірки увійшли як авторські твори (ліричні твори, вірші на політичні теми), так і переклади творів М. Горького, О. Пушкіна, В. Маяковського, Т. Шевченка, М. Рильського та П. Тичини. 1963 року збірка виходить російською мовою. Вперше переклав «Заповіт» Тараса Шевченка румейською мовою.

У 1936 році одружується на Ользі Євгенівні Маслаковій.

Арештований в ніч з 23 на 24 грудня 1937 року в ході так званої «грецької операції». Розстріляний 14 лютого 1938 року. Реабілітований 1957 року.
