Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair Offers New Hope in Heart Failure
Over six million Americans are living with heart failure and about half of them will die within five years of being diagnosed.[1]Heart failure causes changes to the heart's structure and, as a result, some patients develop problems with the function of their valves, specifically the mitral valve. When the heart muscle is weakened, as is the case with most heart failure patients, the structure supporting the mitral valve becomes dilated. This prevents the valve from closing properly, resulting in mitral regurgitation (MR) where blood leaks backward through the mitral valve each time the heart contracts. When MR is caused by a secondary factor such as changes in the valve structure, it is called secondary MR. Primary MR is caused by a defect of the valve leaflets themselves.
Patients who experience MR against a background of existing heart failure are extremely ill because one condition exacerbates the other. The heart's weak and inefficient squeezing action cannot adequately circulate blood and can lead to multi-system organ failure. Both primary and secondary MR can also have potentially life-threatening, direct cardiac effects including atrial fibrillation and pulmonary hypertension. Unfortunately, recent studies find that the incidence of secondary MR is increasing in the developed world.[2]
While patients with heart failure who develop secondary MR can be treated with medication, they have few options if medical therapy fails. Suzanne Richardson, MSN, RN, Clinical Program Manager for the Structural Heart and Valve Center at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) explains, "In years past, if the patient was too high risk for surgery there was no other option and they entered a downward spiral leading to multi-organ dysfunction. Their quality of life declined and they tended to have more frequent hospitalizations for acute heart failure exacerbations. If they were not a candidate for advanced heart failure therapy such as transplant or LVAD, they could face a long slow decline." This underscores the importance of the recent FDA approval of the MitraClip®for percutaneous therapy in heart failure patients with secondary MR. "It's an option for people who had no option before," says Richardson.
The MUSC Structural Heart and Valve Center has participated in clinical trials of the MitraClip®since 2009. A previous trial (EVEREST II) led to a 2013 FDA approval for patients with primary MR. The next step was to prove the MitraClip®procedure was safe and effective for patients with secondary mitral regurgitation. "This study (COAPT) enrolled folks with heart failure who had maxed out on their medical options, but were too high risk for surgical mitral repair or replacement. The outcomes were very impressive! It really did help those patients," says Richardson.
Results from the COAPT study showed that patients who received the MitraClip®procedure had significantly lower hospitalizations for heart failure within two years compared to those who received standard care (35.8% vs. 67.9%; p<0.001).[3]In addition, all cause mortality within two years of the procedure was also significantly lower in the MitraClip®group (29.1% vs 46.1% (p<0.001). Finally, the study found that 96.6% of patients who received the MitraClip®were free of device-related complications in the first year after the procedure.[4]
MUSC was one of 100 centers recruiting patients for COAPT and enrollment topped out at 614 patients – not a very large recruitment goal for a national trial. However, the process of conducting the study was a slow endeavor and took more time to complete than other trials. "It was extremely hard to get patients enrolled. We needed to find high surgical risk patients with heart failure who still had significant MR after trying all the medical options and there's extensive medical therapy available to reduce regurgitation. We would spend months making adjustments to optimize patients' medications before we could even look at whether they might be a candidate for the trial," explains Richardson.
Transcatheter valve therapies have revolutionized the landscape of treatment options for patients with valvular heart disease. "It took us a long time to get to a transcatheter option for secondary MR. The mitral apparatus is an anatomical puzzle that's influenced by a multitude of factors," says Richardson. The COAPT trial was designed to eliminate as many of those factors as possible by requiring patients achieve guideline directed medical therapy before they could be considered for the transcatheter repair. "This meant heart failure specialists, interventional cardiologists, and cardiac surgeons worked closely together to optimize each patient's care," Richardson explains. "Not only did we need a good percutaneous device, but we needed physicians with mitral valve experience who could implant it. Fifteen years ago there were no percutaneous valve options and our interventional cardiologists had never worked on valve structures. Now we have experienced implant teams where cardiac surgeons partner with interventional cardiologists to provide the full spectrum of available therapies."
The COAPT study marked an important leap forward in treating these very sick patients. It confirmed the safety and efficacy of a transcatheter valve repair that is shown to reduce morbidity, decrease mortality, and improve quality of life. "This is just the beginning," says Richardson, "It might have taken us a while to get across the starting line, but the next five years will see huge progress in transcathether valve interventions. The number of therapies and the types of patients we can treat without surgery or in conjunction with surgery is just going to keep growing."

Abstract: Lamotrigine (LTG), a broad-spectrum anti-epileptic drug widely used in treatment for seizures, shows potential efficacy in Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapy. Chronic LTG treatment rescues the suppressed long-term potentiation, loss of spines and cognitive deficits in AβPP/PS1 mice, known to overexpress a chimeric mouse/human mutant amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) and a mutant human presenilin 1 (PS1). These changes are accompanied by reduction of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques density and of levels of β-C-terminal fragment of AβPP (β-CTF), a fragment of AβPP cleaved by β-secretase. These results suggest LTG treatment reduces Aβ production, possibly through modulation of cleavage of AβPP by β-secretase. However, the underlying mechanisms still remain unclear. In this study, decreased protein levels, but not mRNA levels of β-site AβPP-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1), were observed in cultured HEK293 cells and the brains of AβPP/PS1 transgenic mice upon LTG treatment. Moreover, LTG treatment suppressed mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, while enhancing activation of cAMP response element binding protein (CREB), two signaling pathways essential for autophagy induction. LTG treatment increased the numbers of LC3-GFP + puncta and LC3-II levels in HEK293 cells, indicating an induction of autophagy. The downregulation of BACE1 by LTG treatment was prevented by the autophagy inhibitor 3-Methyladenine. Therefore, this study shows that LTG treatment reduces the protein levels of BACE1 through activation of autophagy, possibly via inhibition of mTOR signaling and activation of CREB.

Gylon (), also known as Gylon of Cerameis, was a Greek military official and the maternal grandfather of Demosthenes. He is known for his role in the capture and ultimately turning over of Nymphaeum to the Bosporans, for which he was punished.

Nymphaeum fell under Athenian rule when Gylon captured the city and established a garrison there, along the strategically important grain route. Until that time, the city was influenced by the Scythians. He was said to have lived in Ancient Crimea (Bosporan Kingdom). Gylon is said to have betrayed Nymphaeum to "the enemy" when in 405 BC, he handed it to the Bosporan King Satyros in exchange for needed grain. One theory is that it was no longer feasible for the Athenians to maintain the outpost. but Glyon was punished for his role in letting go of Nyphaeum. He was first sentenced to death, but the punishment was later changed to a fine that Demosthenes paid off.

Gylon married a woman of nobility from Scythia. They had a daughter, Cleobule (), who married Demosthenes Senior and they had a son Demosthenes.

Hi, I'm Gina. Like so many people, I wear many hats. I am a Child of God and a mom first and foremost. I'm also an entrepreneur, a website designer/developer, a writer, a "teacher," a friend, a sister, a daughter and I'm sure a whole lot of other things. OH! and a Wildcat ~ go K-State!
When I started blogging back in 2007, it was my 'ministry,' if you will. At the time, my then husband and I were hosting/teaching a small group (at-home Bible study). I loved teaching, sharing and learning from others!
MySpace was a big hit back then, and I had a lot of people telling me that I needed to get on it. When I realized that I could blog, sharing Christian philosophies and learning about others types of beliefs, I decided it couldn't be all bad. It was such an amazing time of writing, sharing, learning and developing friendships.
Eventually, MySpace changed their platform and, at the same time, I was going through a lot of personal growth/'evolution.' I still wrote from time to time, but not often. Honestly, the inspiration dried up for quite some time while my focus turned deeper inward.
Finally, at the beginning of this year, I wrote down a goal to finish a book I had started, move my blogs into a new site and start writing again.
WELCOME to the accomplishment of that goal!

Taylor Mill Hopes to Be More Competitive in First Responder Hiring & Other Notes
Fri, 03/11/2016 - 09:21 RCN Newsdesk
Taylor Mill Mayor Daniel Bell announced Wednesday night that the city will be taking a serious look at its pay scale, particularly for Fire/EMS due to the fact that administrators are going to be interviewing for three new full-time positions starting next week.
"We have got to stay more competitive," said Mayor Bell, making a comment about a revolving door. "We will reevaluate the pay scale so that we can retain good people."
The police department also filled a position, and Michael Welch will begin next week. Commissioners gave their OK for the position.
City Engineer Mark Bruggemann gave a report on the lighting on Pride Parkway, saying there has been progress, and he is beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. He said the Federal Aviation Administration has given approval for the height of the poles, and now the city seems to have all the necessary approvals, but Brueggeman stopped short of giving an estimated time frame for the project.
Bruggemann also said that the project of basically reconstructing the edges of Russ Road due to erosion by Holdsbranch Creek should be going out to bid soon, and the bids will be opened on April 7, with the commission set to approve the recommended bid at the April 13 meeting. The street has about 7 to 8 houses on it and the road is residents' only way in or out.
The Church Street repaving project has been put on hold because Sanitation District #1 has not determined when it is going to do its work on the street which has to be done before the city's work.
The city received $240,000 from the Ohio Kentucky Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI) to put sidewalks in from the current Taylor Mill Road to Pride Park, and to the Districts of Taylor Mill, which left the city with $60,000 to complete the project. Bruggemann reported that the next phase is the acquiring of easements, and the city is hoping for construction in the summer.
Commissioner Ed Kuehne thanked Mother Nature for a mild winter, saying that last year the city spent $45,000 on salt and sand and that this year the city has spent somewhere in the mid-$20,000 range. He went on to say thanks to maintenance director Marc Roden's crew for picking up 16 bags of garbage around Pride Park, and to the families who regularly help pick up garbage. Kuehne also asked for the community's help in reporting problem potholes or fallen trees.
Commissioner Debby Kreimborg announced that the annual Easter Egg hunt will be this Saturday at 1 p.m., and people who want to participate should plan on arriving a little early because of parking. There will be four categories for children from babies to age 10, and if the hunt is rained out Saturday, the rain date is March 19. She also announced that the city will host the Vietnam Veteran's Moving Wall the week of July 28 to August 1, and Mayor Bell said he wishes everyone would plan on coming to see the wall.
Mayor Bell and City Administrator Jill Bailey read proclamations declaring April as Child Abuse Prevention Month, and Autism Awareness Month. It was also announced that Taylor Mill will sign the necessary papers to participate in the Northern Kentucky Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Though the official participation is routine, Commissioners still had to vote on the resolution, and Mayor Bell said that the city can be reimbursed if they help with the crises.

The beauty industry is shaped by the ever changing customer demands. Along with the ubiquitousness of social media, beauty users now can pick up popular trends from anywhere across the world and follow it. With this increasing demand to stay updated, it is imperative for companies to provide innovative products that satisfy such customers. Skincare is the biggest segment in the beauty industry with its global sales expected to cross $130 billion by 2019. Hence, it becomes important to know the trends that will drive forth the skincare segment in this year and also beyond.
Face masks have always been an important product for the skincare segment. Currently there are different variations in this category, including masks made of clay, tea, charcoal, caffeine, and even dry sheet masks, and instantly revitalizing face masks. The trend of beauty companies launching innovative products in the mask category is expected to continue this year, as well.
Beauty companies are coming up with devices that can provide the salon level beauty treatments in the comfort of one's home. Tools using laser or light technology to clean the face are being increasingly available in handheld devices.
These two ingredients are taking the skincare industry by the storm because of their powerful anti-aging properties. These help in treating issues such as wrinkles, scars, acne, and sun damage and are very popular in the cosmeceuticals markets, as well.
In 2016, the market saw numerous launches of skincare products having probiotic ingredients. The probiotic bacteria that benefit the skin include lactobacillus and bifidobacterium. There can be more innovative product launches with such ingredients in 2017, too.
Skincare preparation containing herbal or natural ingredients are already quite popular. The trend of including more and more kitchen products into the beauty concoctions might keep growing with the inclusion of substances like kale and moringa.
Along with the inclusion of kitchen ingredients in the skincare products, the trend of actually ingesting skincare products is also on the rise. Consumers are becoming more aware of the effect of their choice of food and drinks on their skin. Hence, along with a healthy diet and good hydration, consumers are including skincare products like Fountain The Glow Molecule and Moon Juice Beauty Dust into their diets.
With the growing importance of Korean beauty trends throughout the globe, the year 2017 might see the popularity of skincare products with varying textures. Other than the beneficial element, these products also enhance the entire experience of someone undergoing a skincare ritual. For example, currently there are cleansing balls in Korea that melt into a liquid form as soon as it touches the skin.
Dry brushing of the face in order to improve its texture, remove the appearance of lines and cellulites, and gently exfoliating the face is an important trend in Asia that can become popular across the globe in this year, too.

Centre lauds AGF Malami's reforms in war against corruption, tracking of loots globally
The Centre for Social Justice, Equity and Transparency (CESJET) has applauded the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice for introducing institutional reforms in the war against corruption and recovery of loots.
The centre, which made this known today at a press conference in Abuja, said in the last six years, the AGF has embarked on several initiatives to ensure the smooth functioning of government.
In his address, Executive Director, Comrade Isaac Ikpa, said the ministry, under Malami, has successfully tracked all assets recovered on behalf of the Federal Government by various law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies while developing the Whistle-Blowers' Policy.
Through a trilateral agreement with foreign countries, Comrade Ikpa said looted funds have been recovered and returned back to Nigeria.
According to Ikpa, with the concerted effort of the Federal Ministry of Justice, public perceptions of the Muhammadu Buhari administration's fight against corruption have improved tremendously.
The centre also said the Minister of Justice has consistently adhered to the rule of law, with transparency and accountability the hallmark of his ministry.
The Centre for Social Justice, Equity and Transparency, therefore, passed a vote of confidence on Malami, recommending a national honour for the country's AGF.
Read full statement below:
The leadership of the Centre for Social Justice, Equity and Transparency holds this press conference to laud the efforts of the Honorable Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, in institutionalizing reforms in the Federal Ministry of Justice.
We are delighted to mention that the Federal Ministry of Justice has embarked on several initiatives to ensure the smooth functioning of government through the effective discharge of its core functions in the last six years.
The Federal Ministry of Justice has ensured access to justice for all persons and the observance of the rule of law and due process by all MDAs. Prosecuting crimes against the State and defending civil cases on behalf of the Government was also given top consideration.
Ensuring close collaboration with stakeholders, government agencies, civil society and the international community to improve on justice delivery, and advising the government on its treaty obligations, in addition to other sundry services to the legal profession, were the hallmark of the Federal Ministry of Justice in the past six years.
We are aware that the Federal Ministry of Justice has been providing guidelines on international and local asset recovery regime, tracking of all assets recovered on behalf of the federal government by various law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies, and assisting the Federal Ministry of Finance in developing the Whistle-Blowers' Policy.
It is indeed instructive to state that the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has displayed uncommon courage since he assumed leadership of the Federal Ministry of Justice.
The whistle-blowing policy of the federal government provides us with such instances of how effective the Federal Ministry of Justice had been in the war against corruption. We also wish to state that following the launch of the Whistle-Blowing Policy, recovery of the looted fund increased with the personnel of Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), Independent Corrupt Practices (ICPC) and Other Related Offence Commission, Department of State Security, and other security agencies, on alert with available information.
As early as 2017, the whistle-blowing policy had yielded $151million and N8 billion in looted funds through the efforts of the Federal Ministry of Justice. This is indeed commendable and further emphasizes the disposition of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, in ensuring that the Federal Ministry of Justice provides guidelines on international and local asset recovery regime.
We also wish to state that the outstanding successes recorded by President Muhammadu Buhari in international asset recovery could be a template for other African countries in the fight against corruption.
The various steps taken by the Federal Ministry of Justice in terms of legislative frameworks, the establishment of institutions and policy measures targeted at combatting corruption, Regional Corporation and ensuring good governance for the benefit of citizens are laudable.
In 2017, the signing of a trilateral agreement with Switzerland and the World Bank enabled the recovery of $322.515million. In 2020, a total sum of $311.7million was returned to Nigeria after signing another trilateral agreement with the USA and Bailiwick of Jersey.
Also, in 2020, 5.4million Euros was recovered in March, emanating from an agreement signed with Northern Ireland. The Federal Government was able to recover from the UK the sum of €4,214,017.66 connected to the family of James Ibori.
Under the guidance of the Federal Ministry of Justice, the Federal Government had developed the National Anti-Corruption Strategy and a guideline for smooth implementation of the strategy, which has five pillars; prevention of corruption, public engagement, ethical re-orientation, enforcement and sanction, and recovery and management of proceeds of crime.
Consequently, we are not surprised that Nigeria's stand in the anti-corruption struggle has been adjudged to be recording tremendous success; a fact was confirmed by credible International organizations, including the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crimes (UNODC).
We reiterate once again that through the concerted effort of the Federal Ministry of Justice, public perceptions of the Muhammadu Buhari administration's fight against corruption have improved dramatically, and this is a strong indication that the nation's orientation towards understanding the challenges of fighting and addressing corrupt practices is changing for the better.
The Federal Ministry of Justice has also ensured the speedy dispensation of justice. This is also another commendable feat that must not go unnoticed. That the common man and woman on the street can get justice indicates that a lot has happened in the application of the criminal justice system in the country. This is also noteworthy that even with the coronavirus pandemic, notable reforms were introduced to ensure that the judicial system does not experience setbacks.
The Center for Social Justice, Equity and Transparency leadership indeed lauds these reforms in the Federal Ministry of Justice, which has been institutionalized through transparency and accountability, which is essentially the hallmark of the Federal Ministry of Justice under Abubakar Malami, SAN.
The adherence to the Rule of Law is also another area worthy of mention in the sense that the Federal Ministry of Justice. On record, the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has lived up to his billing as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria by advancing sound legal opinions and interpretations in the judicial landscape. This, much in our considered opinion, has assisted the federal government in adherence to the rule of law at all times.
We also wish to state in unequivocal terms that under the jurisdiction of Abubakar Malami, the transparency in the recovery of assets has been outstanding given the collaboration with various jurisdictions in its efforts to recover stolen assets stashed abroad. Through this means, the country has continued to make significant progress in preventing and combating corruption, blocking leakages and recovering our stolen assets.
We are also aware that under Abubakar Malami, Nigeria is implementing the Justice Sector Reform Strategy covering issues such as International Cooperation Mechanisms, Mutual Legal Assistance and reform of the Criminal Justice System.
The Centre for Social Justice, Equity and Transparency wishes to state that the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has displayed an unwavering commitment in the war against corruption in Nigeria through the instrument of his office.
The various indices in this regard speak positively on the institutional reforms introduced in the Federal Ministry of Justice.
In the light of the above, we recommend the Attorney General of the Federation for the conferment of national honours in reward for his efforts in the war against corruption, strengthening the mechanism for the speedy dispensation of justice across the country.
We also recommend that it won't be out of place if the Attorney General of the Federation is considered for a Nobel Peace Prize for Transparency and Accountability and an unalloyed commitment to the war against corruption in Nigeria.

And I was glad that we met.
The only one that I can find.
Causing a flicker of the flame of hope.
For signs of your return.
For that is all I have now.
If life could only allow.
At the place where you promised we'd meet.
My heart now skips a beat.
thanks for sharing good article, i love the way you written good article and described them wonderfully with own words. Thanks once again for beautiful post.
Many mixed emotions here. A sailor lost at sea? A jilted lover? This could be so many things.
Poignant. Something like a heartbreak with no answers as to why.
Yes, sometimes the why haunts us forever!
So beautifully rhymed and written!
I always forget about this. But, from this month on, I'll do it for one Wednesday a month as I can't do it every Wednesday due to pre-planned posts.
Thank you Soumya 🙂 Yes, please do when you can 🙂 Also, you dont have to post on a Wednesday. The linky is open till the following Sunday.
Hmmm. So many possibilities about what happened to him… but can feel her anxiety and eagerness as she continues to wait! Beautiful.

Smoke (or Vapor) Gets in Your Eyes: Part One
We all know the ocular and systemic harms of cigarettes, but what about cigars, pipes, e-cigarettes and other tobacco delivery methods?
By Carlo J. Pelino, OD, and Joseph J. Pizzimenti, OD
Clinicians and scientists have long noted a strong correlation between cigarette smoke and myriad health concerns, including cancer, respiratory disease and cardiovascular disease. Tobacco use is projected to kill a billion people during the 21st century.1,2
Cigarette smoke contains toxic chemicals such as nicotine, cyanide, benzene, formaldehyde, methanol, acetylene and ammonia, not to mention tar, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide.1 Nicotine in particular can have many different effects on the body, including:3
Decreases appetite; fear of weight gain makes some people unwilling to stop smoking
Boosts mood, giving people a sense of well-being
Increases intestinal activity
Creates more saliva and phlegm
Increases heart rate by about 10 to 20 beats per minute
Increases blood pressure by 5mm Hg to 10mm Hg
Stimulates memory and alertness; people who use tobacco often depend on it to help them accomplish certain tasks and perform well
Beyond Cigarettes
Cigarettes are not the only delivery method for tobacco—there are many non-cigarette forms of tobacco and nicotine, and their use varies regionally and globally. Smoked forms of tobacco such as cigars, traditional pipes and water pipes are highly popular and are often perceived as significantly less hazardous than cigarettes. Novel nicotine delivery systems not directly reliant on tobacco, such as electronic cigarettes, are becoming increasingly popular, and their emergence presents challenges and opportunities for public health.

Research suggests that some tobacco and nicotine products may pose less of a health hazard than cigarette smoking, potentially playing a role in reducing morbidity and mortality due to smoking.4 However, evidence also suggests the public broadly misperceives the relative risks of smoking, tobacco use and nicotine, erroneously thinking smoked tobacco products other than cigarettes, such as cigars and pipes, are harmless.5
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cigar consumption more than doubled in the United States from 2000 to 2011, from slightly less than 6.2 billion in 2000 to more than 13.7 billion in 2011.6 Unlike nearly all cigarette smokers, most cigar smokers do not inhale. However, even if a cigar smoker doesn't intentionally inhale, potentially harmful amounts of nicotine can be absorbed through the lining of the mouth.11 For some, switching from cigarettes to cigars can be particularly harmful because they might inhale cigar smoke the way they inhaled cigarette smoke.11
Although cigar smokers have lower rates of lung cancer, coronary heart disease and lung disease than cigarette smokers, they do have higher rates of these diseases than those who do not smoke cigars.6,7
Cigar smoke contains many of the same toxic constituents as cigarette smoke, and research shows cigar smoke has higher levels of tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) than cigarette smoke, due to cigar tobacco's curing and fermentation process.7 Many of these TSNAs, such as N-nitrosonornicotine and nicotine-derived nitrosamine ketone, are known carcinogens.7 Investigators have also found that cigar smoke has higher levels of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide than cigarette smoke.7 The International Agency of Research on Cancer found that cigar smoking, pipe smoking or both is causally connected to cancers of the pancreas, stomach, urinary tract and bladder, lung and upper digestive tract, including the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx and esophagus.8,9
More specifically, a systematic review of published studies on current cigar smoking and all-cause and cause-specific mortality risks found that primary cigar smoking (i .e.,current, exclusive cigar smoking with no history of previous cigarette or pipe smoking) was associated with all cause-mortality; oral, esophageal, pancreatic, laryngeal and lung cancers; coronary heart disease and aortic aneurysm.10
The researchers also noticed strong dose trends by cigars per day and inhalation level for primary cigar smoking for oral, esophageal, laryngeal and lung cancers. Among primary cigar smokers reporting no inhalation, relative mortality risk was still elevated for oral, esophageal and laryngeal cancers.10
Ocular Conditions Directly or Indirectly Related to Smoking11
Ocular ischemic syndrome
Retinal vascular occlusions
Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy
Thyroid eye disease
Metastatic carcinoma to the uvea
Although mortality risks from cigar smoking vary by level of exposure (cigars per day) and inhalation level, evidence suggests cigar smoking carries many of the same health risks as cigarette smoking.10 Future studies will hopefully collect detailed information on cigar type, exposure level and biomarkers of exposure and potential harm.10
Ocular Considerations
Repeated exposure to tobacco smoke accelerates the body's aging process, including that of ocular tissues (Table 1).12 The chemicals in cigarette smoke reduce the body's ability to protect itself by concurrently increasing the levels of oxidants and decreasing the levels of antioxidants.1 Smoking causes blood vessels throughout the body to narrow and stiffen, known as arteriolar sclerosis. It also reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood, thus reducing the amount of oxygen reaching the retina. Research suggests that cigarette smoke-related tar triggers the formation of drusen.11
Inhaling these toxic chemicals, even briefly, significantly increases the risk for cataract, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and ocular ramifications of cardiovascular disease—and the more a person smokes, the higher the risks. Added to that, tobacco smoke, including second-hand smoke, is an irritant that worsens dry eye disease.1,2
For patients diagnosed with AMD and diabetic retinopathy, smoking increases their risk of serious vision loss.12,13 Patients with Graves' disease who smoke have a fourfold increased risk of developing ocular complications compared with non-smokers.13
Fortunately, after people quit smoking, their risk for these ocular diseases becomes almost as low as for people who never smoked.1,2,3

Introduction to protection of copyright in India
Protection for literary, artistic, dramatic, cinematographic works, and sound recordings are possible by registration with the Copyright Office in India by filing an application online or with the Copyright Office in Delhi. Although protection for any of the copyright protected works exist from the moment it is created, registration of copyrights provides prima facie evidence as to ownership of the work.
Being a signatory of multiple conventions like the Berne Convention, the Universal Copyright Convention, the Rome Convention and the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), India recognizes the rights of copyright protected works from any of the convention countries.
A work that is applied for registration can be published or unpublished. Published work refers to works that is made available to the public by any means while unpublished work refers to the work that is not been open to the public for use.
The Copyright Act specifically states that if a copyright which is capable of being registered as a design is not registered, the copyright in it ceases after more than 50 products are made by an industrial process.
Once an application for the registration of copyrights is made, a 30 day period is given for third parties to raise objection to the application made. If no such objections are received, the Copyright Office will examine the application to ensure that all procedural requirements are met. If there are any objections, once they are complied with or argued against, a registration certificate will be issued.
Copyright protection for an artistic work, dramatic work, literary and musical works subsists during the lifetime of the author plus a period of 60 years from the beginning of the calendar year next following the year in which the author dies. Copyright protection for a cinematograph film, sound recording, photograph and Government Work subsists for 60 years from the beginning of the calendar year next following the year in which it was first published.
Legal action can be initiated before the District Courts or High Court of India.

While the PA claims that Israel violates the Arabs' human rights, a new video shows who really does so: their Arab cousins.
Who abuses Arabs' human rights?
The Palestinian Authority often accuses of Israel of mistreating its citizens and abusing their human rights.
A new video created by the FreeMiddleEast.com organization shows that the rights of PA Arabs are indeed being violated…by their Arab cousins in other countries, that is.
PA leaders have demanded the 'Right of Return - that as part of a future peace agreement Israel allow millions of Arabs descended from those who fled during the 1948 War of Independence to "return" to the cities in which their grandparents and great-grandparents once lived.
As this video suggests, however, perhaps the 'right of return' should be these descendants returning to be treated as human beings by their Arab cousins.

Home News Amazon removes 'eco' badge from flushable wipes and Donald Trump toilet paper
Amazon removes 'eco' badge from flushable wipes and Donald Trump toilet paper
Disposable nappies, cotton buds , pet food and novelty Donald Trump toilet paper were among the products on sale on Amazon's new eco-friendly section of its website, prompting concerns about the sustainability of some of the products on offer.
The world's biggest online retailer launched the new section of the website on Tuesday in the UK and Europe with more than 40,000 items on the new platform chosen for their sustainability credentials.
But environmental campaigners have raised concerns about some of the products that carry the new Climate Pledge Friendly badge alongside items such as plastic-free solid shampoo bars and organic children's clothing.
In a search through the site by the Guardian, dog food containing turkey and chicken, flushable wipes, cotton buds and novelty Donald Trump toilet paper were all found to carry the new sustainability badge on Amazon's platform.
Campaigners said some of the products were "environmentally unsound" and a Green party spokesperson said the initiative appeared to be "greenwashing".
The company has since removed sustainability badges from flushable wipes and the Donald Trump toilet paper after they were contacted by the Guardian and said it was a mistake.
Products listed under the Climate Pledge Friendly initiative have been chosen to help customers to discover and shop for more sustainable products, carrying a certificate from schemes such as Fairtrade International, the Carbon Trust and Compact by Design, Amazon's own certification.
A company spokesperson said the new scheme was not a green guarantee and would highlight products with more trusted sustainability certifications, reducing plastic waste and greenhouse gas emissions through changes in packaging.
Experts said the company should be more discerning with its product choices, thinking of the bigger impact they have, rather than picking items that attempt to be greener through packaging.
Trewin Restorick, chief executive of the environmental charity Hubbub, said: "The eco-friendly options shouldn't be a sideshow but integrated into their core offer and be integral to their search process.
"Their new Compact by Design self-certification is flawed as it is awarded to products which have more efficient design elements rather than fundamentally questioning the environmental credentials of the product in the first instance. This is why the site contains products which have dubious environmental credentials ."
Amazon has previously faced criticism for its use of excessive cardboard and other packing materials, and last year came under fire for introducing new-style packaging that could not be recycled.
A Green party spokesperson said: "In theory it's great to see big businesses taking steps in the right direction on climate – but this looks more like green washing than an actual commitment to promote sustainability."
An Amazon spokesperson said: "Climate Pledge Friendly helps make it easier for customers to discover and shop for products that have one or more trusted sustainability certifications including Rainforest Alliance, Forest Stewardship Council, Fairtrade International and EU Ecolabel.
This is just the beginning. We hope this program encourages more manufacturers to make more sustainable products, and will continue adding more certifications and working with brands and manufacturers to certify more products over time."

Climate|A Victory for Coral: Unesco Removes Belize Reef From Its Endangered List
A Victory for Coral: Unesco Removes Belize Reef From Its Endangered List
By Tryggvi Adalbjornsson

It was a drop of good news about the world's oceans: The Belize Barrier Reef, the largest barrier reef system in the Northern Hemisphere, has been removed from the United Nations list of endangered world heritage sites.
Unesco, the world body's educational, scientific and cultural agency, said its heritage committee voted Tuesday to remove the reef from its list of threatened sites because it no longer faced immediate danger from development.
"In the last two years, especially in the last year, the government of Belize really has made a transformational shift," said Fanny Douvere, the coordinator of the marine program at Unesco's World Heritage Centre.
United Nations officials initially cited "mangrove cutting and excessive development" as the main concern when the reef was added to the List of World Heritage in Danger in 2009. They have also expressed concern about oil exploration. Since then, the Belize government has imposed a moratorium on oil exploration around the reef and implemented protections for coastal mangrove forests.
Experts cautioned, though, that the long-term danger to the world's reefs from climate change remains real.
"The primary threats are all still there," said John Bruno, a marine ecologist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "The big one, of course, is ocean warming."
The world's largest coral ecosystem, the Great Barrier Reef, has been hit hard by rising temperatures in recent years. An underwater heat wave in Australian waters two years ago spurred a die-off of coral so severe that scientists say that reef will never look the same again.
Scientists say they have observed signs of coral bleaching on the Belize reef. Bleaching occurs when unusually warm water causes the corals to lose plantlike organisms that help keep them alive. In 2015 and 2016, almost a quarter of the corals off the Belizean coast were affected by bleaching, according to a report by the Healthy Reefs for Healthy People Initiative, an organization that monitors reefs.
If most of the world's coral reefs die, as scientists fear is increasingly likely, some of the richest and most colorful life in the ocean could be lost, along with income from reef tourism. In poorer countries, lives are at stake: Hundreds of millions of people get their protein primarily from reef fish, and a reduction of that food supply could become a humanitarian crisis.
Australia successfully demanded that a chapter detailing damage to the Great Barrier Reef be cut from a 2016 Unesco report on threatened heritage sites so that it would not affect tourism.
The Belize Barrier Reef system, which extends roughly 200 miles, was designated a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1996. The system is made up of a series of coral reefs, cays and islands, many of which are covered with mangroves.
Despite covering less than a thousandth of the ocean floor, coral reefs are home to more than a quarter of marine fish species. The state of reefs is considered an important indicator of the overall health of the seas.

CHARITIES, businesses and local organisations are working together in East Cambridgeshire to improve the health of residents.
Under an initiative funded with lottery money, the groups are supporting a whole host of projects which address a range of health and social issues.
The Healthy Living - East Cambridgeshire project was launched in 2002 with cash from the Big Lottery Fund and will last for five years.
It has two main partners, East Cambridgeshire District Council and development, families, children and young people, older and isolated people and information outreach - designed to address specific areas of need.
Fitness and food is associated with maintaining a healthy lifestyle through exercise and diet.
There is an exercise referral scheme which involves partnership between doctors, patients and local sports centres where doctors refer patients to undergo fitness assessments and the centres develop tailored exercise programmes.
Community development has been set up to improve people's skills, knowledge and experience to allow them to have an active involvement in issues that affect their lives. There are confidence building and community skills courses.
The families, children and young people projects are designed for people dealing with everyday issues affecting their lives, such as childhood behavioural problems or teenage worries.
For older and isolated people there is information and guidance through a range of activities including a Good Neighbour scheme organised by volunteers.
They offer practical support, such as a lift to the doctor, or just a friendly face calling in to check on a neighbour.
Projects aimed at providing information through various different mediums are offered under information and outreach. It could be information on childcare, local services, general health matters or organising access to a computer.
Project Development Manager, Cathy Howlett, said: "We are very proud of our achievements and we are confident there has been overall improvement in the health and well-being of the people living in East Cambridgeshire as a result of the Healthy Living - East Cambridgeshire initiative.
"As well as having a positive impact on the health and well-being of the population of East Cambridgeshire, we have been successful in working in partnership with the NHS, local authorities and the private, voluntary and independent sector. We are enormously grateful to all our partners who have supported us and worked with us over the last four years."

Yoga Borgo is historically known as Borgo I Frati, the hamlet of the Friars. Borgo literally means 'little village'. It was originally built in the 4th Century as a "convento" or religious community and thus received its name. In those times a "convento" was inclusive and included both men and women. The Borgo was built on an old pilgrim path coming over the Apennine mountain pass called Bocca Trabaria. The area continues to be cherished as a sacred place of great natural beauty, and today is still protected as a Nature Reserve. Over time the community grew and became known as "Passano" which means the place of safe passage and was a major resting place for pilgrims traveling to Rome. Borgo I Frati, was the hub of for the surrounding mountain area for school, community and church. For centuries it was famous as a place of joy, music and celebration. In the 7th Century, its famous Longobard Tower was built to safely watch over the Tiber Valley below. The Tower (La Torre) stands as an integral part of the Borgo today with beautiful rooms and meditative yoga studio.
