I sometimes think about alternatives. What is it that makes one conversation interesting and another one not so much? Why is it that one minute I am happy and another minute, sad? Why are lions not tame and puppies wild? Why is dessert last and veggies first? Why am I so consumed with alternatives and not with other more reflective topics? Topics like… planning our Labour Day camping trip?
Alternatives are to me by definition, opposites. They are that which is and that which is not. For instance, I am a teacher by trade, but I often wonder what it would be like to be a full-time writer instead. The alternative is this: live in the tried and true, the steady source of income; or take a leap of faith and plunge into the unknown world of self-employment. Quite an alternative of choice in that last sentence.
I think of alternatives with even greater stakes, those which change the course of a life. And these alternatives are the hardest ones to ponder. But what has got me really thinking in the last little while is what the alternative would be for me if my life was more dramatic. Flashy. Fascinating. More content driven. I am after all, a writer; and writers want to gain readership. But how? Would it make for better writing material if my life were more tragic? More interesting story lines if I was funnier? A greater demand from my readership if I had a more sensational life story?
I was reading about a writer today who deals with addictions. As a result of telling her story, hundreds and thousands of people have reacted to her experience and shared their own tale of woe and heartache. There are many, many people out there with painful life stories. Many who suffer addictions. Many who are depressed and suicidal. Many who are desperate for answers to life's dilemmas. Desperate for hope. And it got me thinking this thought. Unless your life is lived on the brink of disaster, there is seemingly so little to share, to relate to the greater world out there. For what people want to read about are life experiences that mirror their own, or on the contrary which provide worthwhile reading material to keep them from living that kind of life. What people don't want to read about are ordinary lives lived in predictable ways. Because who really wants to read about someone's tough day as a mom when they are just about to pop a pill to end their life? Or who really needs to hear another rant about someone's bad day when their own alternative life is too horrific to even contemplate? And far worse are those of us whose lives seem to be peaches and roses…who wants to read about that?
I think people want sensational storylines because it is not only more interesting to read, it opens the reader up to raw, edgy and honest material that challenges and moves people to different levels of understanding. Sensational reading material is vulnerable and transparent. Sensational seems more real because it bares all. And it holds back nothing. It is tragic, poetic, mystic and dramatic in one messy package. While ordinary, as the alternative, is quite the opposite. It is boring, uninteresting, un-provocative. Predictable.
Same old, same old. Ho hum. Why do I care, you ask? Because I am this: boring.
However, is it worth it to be the alternative? To live life in that larger than life place, just so one can be read and thus validated? Is it worth it to live a shattered life so as to have a story to tell? Is it worth it to be turned inside out so as to compel people, and thus draw them in? Is it worth it? Is the greater trade off, that of trading in a perfectly good, perfectly normal existence for a more dramatic life that is noteworthy, worth it in the end?
Hard call. I know that some would say it is worth it. Particularly celebrities who have cashed in on fame with the cost of their privacy. Even ordinary people would say they would not change a thing about their lives when tragedy or fortune comes calling. How can we say what is best for our lives when we know no other life than the one we are living?
I digress. What I am really analyzing here is what makes great reading material, and the alternative, what does not. At the end of the day, people want to read the words of someone they feel a connection with. And when the connections are made, readers are able to feel empathy and understanding from those writers who KNOW HOW IT IS from personal experience.
It is so validating for both the reader and the writers when the written word strikes a chord. Ordinary folk who live lives that command little attention from the outside world can still make an impact. The ripple effect is not as wide but it is no less real. These writers and players are quietly going about their business, raising families, holding down jobs, paying off mortgages, solidifying relationships and trying to be decent citizens of the world. No one notices if they drop off the social scene because they are not limelight seekers. Neither do they demand that people notice. They have nothing to prove to anyone other than their closest circle of family and friends.
This group of people is the largest sector out there. It is thus worthwhile to know the hearts and minds of these ordinary folk particularly when they are the status quo. It is important to find out how ordinary people live out their ordinary lives when the majority of us in this big old world are likewise ordinary people living out ordinary lives.
There is strength in the status quo. Everyday people are where it's at.
Because even ordinary people can have extra-ordinary stories tucked away inside. I'm all for talking to everyone regardless of stereotype, age, social class or distinction. People are people are people. So whether people suffer addiction or depression or the baby blues, people are struggling to make it through the best way they know how. And sometimes the world needs to hear from people whose lives are larger than our own. And other times it just needs to hear from the regular folk who are plugging away on the periphery. Either way, there are truths to be heard and understood. From the mouths of those who are the greatest of us to those who are the very least.
At the end of the day, it is not the story that has the greatest importance but the storyteller. And regardless of whether the package is covered with delicate tissue or a brown paper bag, inside is a gift that is worth unwrapping. The gift. A life story unique and unparalled. Like no other, and never to be replicated. And truly, how extraordinary and rare is that?

Q: How to apply a mouse event on padding whitespace caused by Uniform settings? I'm wondering about the padding white space caused by the Uniform setting.
I want to apply a mouse event on fill blank caused by Uniform setting.
How to do it? Thanks for any help.
Xaml:
<StackPanel>
    <StackPanel.Background>
          <ImageBrush x:Name="CurrentPageImage" Stretch="Uniform" ImageSource="{Binding CurrentTextBook}" />
    </StackPanel.Background>
</StackPanel>

Codebehind:
public MainWindow()
    {
      InitializeComponent();
      DataContext = this;

      CurrentTextBook = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"C:\...\11.png"));
    }

    public ImageSource CurrentTextBook { get; set; }

    public ImageBrush MyBrush
    {
      get
      {
        ImageBrush brush = new ImageBrush();
        brush.ImageSource = CurrentTextBook;
        return brush;
      }
    }

A: I don't think you're going to be able to do this while rendering the image in an ImageBrush. If you need that top control to have StackPanel functionality then use an ItemsControl instead; it uses StackPanel internally, and thus will layout any children the same, but it will allow you to template it out:
<ItemsControl Template="{DynamicResource ItemsControlTemplate1}"
    ... etc ... // no need to set Background property

Then, inside the template itself, you simply place a grid and an image behind the StackPanel items to effectively do what the ImageBrush was doing:
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ItemsControlTemplate1" TargetType="{x:Type ItemsControl}">
    <Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" Padding="{TemplateBinding Padding}" SnapsToDevicePixels="true">
        <Grid MouseDown="Grid_MouseDown" Background="Transparent">
            <Image Stretch="Uniform" Source="{Binding CurrentTextBook}" MouseDown="Image_MouseDown" />
            <ItemsPresenter SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding SnapsToDevicePixels}"/>
        </Grid>
    </Border>
</ControlTemplate>

Note that setting the Grid background to Transparent is important, you won't get any MouseDown events firing if you don't.
As for the two MouseDown handlers, the one for the image should block the click  from bubbling up the visual tree. Thus, if the one for the Grid is fired, you know the user has clicked inside the ItemsControl/StackPanel but outside the image:
private void Image_MouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    // prevent the message from bubbling back up to the parent grid
    e.Handled = true;
}

private void Grid_MouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
    // mouse was clicked outside the image area
}

A: If I understand your issue correctly, you could just wrap the StackPanel in another painted Panel and handle the mouse event of this one:
<Grid Background="Transparent" MouseLeftButtonDown="Grid_MouseLeftButtonDown">
    <StackPanel>
        <StackPanel.Background>
            <ImageBrush x:Name="CurrentPageImage" Stretch="Uniform" ImageSource="{Binding CurrentTextBook}" />
        </StackPanel.Background>
    </StackPanel>
</Grid>

The biological immune system is a robust, complex, adaptive system that defends the body from foreign pathogens. It is able to categorize all cells (or molecules) within the body as self or nonself substances. It does this with the help of a distributed task force that has the intelligence to take action from a local and also a global perspective using its network of chemical messengers for communication. There are two major branches of the immune system. The innate immune system is an unchanging mechanism that detects and destroys certain invading organisms, whilst the adaptive immune system responds to previously unknown foreign cells and builds a response to them that can remain in the body over a long period of time. This remarkable information processing biological system has caught the attention of computer science in recent years.

Reasons to Oppose Geoengineering
Here are some of the key reasons to oppose geoengineering, which will be discussed in more depth below:
It doesn't work: None of the technologies have a track record, all of them come with major risks and unknowns, and in some cases the effects would be obviously catastrophic.
Weaponization: Computer models show that geoengineering interventions can have regional winners and losers; to the extent that geoengineering successfully changes climate patterns in a predictable way, it will inevitably be weaponized.
Detracts from real solutions: By promising a quick fix, geoengineering threatens to delay the implementation of a transition away from fossil fuels, and could redirect funding and investments away from real climate solutions. Some geoengineering proposals require vast amounts of energy, which means less climate-friendly energy for everyone else.
Human rights and biodiversity: Many geoengineering proposals require the intensive exploitation of vast amounts of land (in the case of BECCS, twice the size of India!). Those projects would inevitably displace millions of people and potentially wipe out entire ecosystems.
The bottom line: geoengineering techniques do nothing to address the root causes of climate change, and evidence points to a high likelihood that rather than improving the climate, they would make things worse—potentially in catastrophic fashion.
Negative Impacts & Magical Claims
Ocean fertilization involves dumping thousands of tonnes of iron into the sea to stimulate plankton growth.
There have not been many real-world geoengineering experiments, becauseof the problem with scale. Testing on small scales does not necessarily reflect what will happen if done on a much larger scale. Testing on large scale is de facto geoengineering.
However, many researchers have attempted to model the potential effects these proposed measures could have on the weather, biodiversity, farms and ecosystems.
In some cases, like Solar Radiation Management (SRM), blocking sunlight by spraying chemicals like sulphur dioxide into the upper atmosphere or launching giant reflective parasols into orbit, could have a cooling effect. However, models show that such manipulations come with high-stakes risks: entire regions could face drought, and if SRM was started and then abandoned, global temperatures could rise very rapidly.
Ocean fertilization consists of dumping tonnes of iron-rich dust into the ocean to stimulate plankton growth in the hopes that it will absorb carbon and then sink to the bottom of the sea. Studies based on computer models suggest that it probably will not have the desired effect, and could create "dead zones" by removing oxygen from the water.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is considered a climate geoengineering technology in some cases. Its proponents claim that we can continue to burn fossil fuels if we just suck the carbon out of the air before it leaves the smokestack. CCS is extremely expensive and it's not clear how well it actually works. If CCS becomes implemented at a large scale, where will the billions of tonnes of carbon be stored? Which communities and ecosystems will be put at risk of being poisoned when and if carbon dioxide, which can be lethal when concentrated, leaks? Furthermore, much of the current push to develop CCS is based on a desire to use captured CO2 for "enhanced oil recovery".
So-called Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs) like Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) claim that we can increase energy production while decreasing emissions. These plans are based on growing and burning massive, country-sized quantities of biomass and they ignore the carbon emissions and ecological impacts caused by tearing up millions of hectares of land over and over again to create these plantations.
Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is based on the false claim that burning biomass is "carbon neutral". Proponents claim that capturing and burying carbon from such a "neutral" process will make it carbon "negative". This faulty logic ignores a growing literature showing that CO2 emissions from most bioenergy processes are large – even larger than for fossil fuels when the impacts on ecosystems and soils are taken into account. Millions of hectares of land would have to be converted to growing trees and crops for bioenergy to implement large-scale BECCS.
So-called Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs) are based on the wishful thinking that we can increase energy production while decreasing emissions. A wide range of technologies are being touted using this "win-win" rhetoric, including biofuels that result in biochar byproducts, using CO2 emissions to grow algae and various other processes. Some of these technologies have garnered much hype, but they are virtually nonexistant in reality.
The Technofix Approach vs. Addressing Root Causes
The mindset that embraces Technofixes assumes that solutions are somehow possible without addressing root causes. Each time we are threatened by a disaster that is caused by structural inequalities and abuse of concentrated power, those who are invested in and profit from those same structures say "we can fix it!" If we believe them, we can be temporarily fooled into taking a path that doesn't address root causes and therefore only delays real solutions. Most of the time, technofixes don't actually work; their real role is to be an effective, temporary distraction.
Geoengineering presents politicians and leaders with vested interests with an option to avoid making difficult choices. Rather than putting an end to combustion of fossil fuels, destructive industrial agriculture, and the pursuit of endless economic growth, they can take the less politically contentious path of offering support for a technofix.
But it is clear that climate change stems from multiple sources embedded in an economic system based on constant growth and ever-increasing consumption; it cannot be addressed by a "magic bullet" technofix.
Trillions of dollars in profit and infrastructure investments by oil companies could be devalued if emissions are regulated. Because of the vast profits and investments that could be lost if we truly address the root causes of climate change, geoengineering represents a dangerous moral hazard. If oil companies see geoengineering as a possibility, they can back a technofix and present it as a solution instead of powering down their operations.
That's precisely what the fossil fuel industry is doing – quietly and behind the scenes, but with a lot of money.
The Geoengineering Clique
Newt Gingrich is a recent geoengineering advocate.
A number of commentators have pointed to the existence of a "geoengineering clique" that is promoting the technofix approach. The prominent voices on geoengineering that reappear again and again are actually a very small group of people. Most of them appear to be white men from rich countries, especially Europe and North America. Some of them have direct connections to the fossil fuel industry and many appear to have military connections. For example David Keith, one of the most prominent geoengineering proponents, has a private company funded by tar sands money. While the "geoengineering clique" project the image of reluctant advocates exploring geoengineering only as a "plan B" to reducing emissions, there are a range of motivations driving interest in geoengineering, including commercial and military interests.
In fact, some of the heavyweight backers of climate geoengineering were climate deniers or downplayers not so long ago. Some call this odd switch the "Lomborg Maneuver," after the pro-corporate environmentalist Bjorn Lomborg, who poo-pooed the effects of climate change until he became a geoengineering proponent. Right-wing groups like the Heartland Institute and the American Enterprise Institute and politicians like Newt Gingrich have joined the geoengineering bandwagon as well.
Part of the threat of commercialization of geoengineering techniques is that it could create a much larger group of people with a vested interest in pursuing a technofix approach. If the geoengineering clique becomes several times larger, it will become even harder to make rational decisions about the climate.
Solutions to Climate Change Already Exist
Agroecology practices are one of the most effective ways to reduce climate change. Photo: Andrea Nguyen
Real, fundamental, low- to no-risk, beneficial, long-term solutions to climate change are already available. They include agroecology, reducing emissions and resource consumption, implementing hard emissions limits, investing in public transportation and liveable and workable communities, and stopping deforestation, among many many others. The problem is not that these solutions don't work, it's that they are incompatible with any goal or mandate for an ever-expanding economy based on the exploitation of finite natural resources. Reducing emissions provokes opposition from big oil; public transportation is curbed by car manufacturers; large-scale expansion of agroecology raises the ire of industrial agribusiness conglomerates.
For real solutions to work, the power of small farmers, communities and workers must increase in relation to that of investors and industry. The main barriers to their implementation are the polluting industries and their investors. A quick way to check the credibility and goodwill of any geoengineering proponent is to examine how much real effort they have put into advocating for real solutions to climate change – and to look at where their money is coming from.
Governance and Weaponization
One of the major problems with geoengineering is that large-scale projects can create winners and losers. If geoengineering schemes were implemented, some regions of the globe might see improved conditions, while other regions would see disastrous changes in rainfall or see their rivers dry up. Who decides what scheme is used and how it is implemented?
Certain geoengineering enthusiasts have hinted that geoengineering schemes could move forward with only a few superpowers on board, and that a global consensus would not be necessary. Will powerful countries attempt to ensure that the ill effects of geoengineering fall overseas? Anticipating the difficulty of a global decision on geoengineering governance, geoengineers have already said they do not need the consent of every country that will be affected.
Concern about unequal impacts raises a larger question: what's to stop those who control geoengineering schemes from using them as a means of geopolitical manipulation and control –in other words, climate warfare? This is not without precedent: The United States has used cloud seeding as a weapon. Its government tried to extend the monsoon season in North Vietnam from 1967-72, and attempted to dry up Cuba's sugar crop in 1969. What would stop this from happening again, on much larger scale?

Writer and archaeologist
Jacquetta Hawkes (5 August 1910 – 18 March 1996) was a British archaeologist and writer.
Born Jessie Jacquetta Hopkins, the daughter of Nobel Prize-winning scientist, Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins, she married first Christopher Hawkes, then an Assistant Keeper at the British Museum, in 1933. From 1953, she was married to J. B. Priestley. She is perhaps best known generally for her book A Land (1951). She was a prolific writer on subjects quite removed from her principal field. She was above all interested in discovering the lives of the peoples revealed by scientific excavations. With her first husband, Christopher Hawkes, she co-authored Prehistoric Britain (1943) and with J. B. Priestley she wrote Dragon's Mouth (1952) and Journey Down a Rainbow (1955). Her other works include The World of the Past (1963), "Prehistory (History of Mankind: Cultural and Scientific Development, Volume 1 Part 1)" (1963) prepared under the auspices of UNESCO, The Atlas of Early Man (1976) and The Shell Guide to British Archaeology (1986).
Personal life 1
Research into Minoan civilization 2
Archaeological excavations and papers 3
Hawkes was the first woman to study archaeology and anthropology at Newnham College Cambridge where she graduated with first class honours. See met Christopher Hawkes, her senior, on a dig during her studies, and married him when she was 22. Their only son, Nicholas, was born in 1937.
A wartime affair with the poet Walter Turner was followed by a passionate and intensely physical post war romance with J.B.Priestley who she married in 1953 after both had messy divorces. Hawkes and Priestley remained physically, emotionally and intellectually close until their deaths. However some early letters to Priestley and a provocative essay towards the end of her life revealed that she had also felt attracted to certain women though it is unclear if any physical relationships took place.[1]
Research into Minoan civilization
In her general work on the Minoans (Dawn of the Gods, 1968), Hawkes was one of the first archaeologists to suggest that the ancient Minoans might have been ruled by women; the idea had been discussed long before by historians of culture and religion (for instance Joseph Campbell), and outside of the academic community, sometimes by feminists. Hawkes noted that very little if any evidence of a Minoan male ruler exists, whereas abundant evidence of such rulers existed among the Egyptians, Hittites, Assyrians and other Minoan contemporaries. Furthermore, images of strong and powerful women abound in Minoan art, where both men and women are shown provocatively and elegantly dressed and in some pictures seem to move on equal terms; whereas in Egyptian, Assyrian and classical Greek art, human women (as distinct from goddesses) are never shown as the equals of males. Hawkes stated that "the absence of these manifestations of the all-powerful male ruler that are so widespread at this time and in this stage of cultural development as to be almost universal, is one of the reasons for supposing that the occupants of Minoan thrones may have been queens" (Dawn of the Gods, page 76).
She also noted the evident love of nature, both wild and cultivated, in Minoan art and architecture, the lack of a striving for monumentality in the palaces and the absence of war and motives dramatizing a sense of destiny, guilt and brooding in Minoan art, as opposed to the heavy, foreboding and warlike architecture of Mycenae and the strong presence of themes of fate, martial heroism and moral guilt in later Greek mythology, some of the stories of which must, in an early form, already have existed at Mycenae (as well as similar motives in Babylonian literature, e.g. in the Gilgamesh epic). Although we do not know anything of the specific content of Minoan myth and folklore, themes of the kind mentioned - war, destiny, guilt, curses - do not even seem to be alluded to in the art of the period, as also noted by Hawkes. This perspective on the differences between Crete and Mycenaean Greece has remained controversial but has also spurred discussion about Minoan Crete, its religion, the nature of its monarchy and the wider set of relations between Minoan, Mycenaean and later Greek cultures.

Ring in the New Year With Some of Onit's Favorite Blogs From 2017!
A lot has happened in the life of Onit during the past year. We hit our strategic milestone objectives, put even more incredible success stories under our belt, hired a lot of new talent, and continued our thought leadership role in this field. To ring in 2018, we'd like to offer a compilation of some of our favorite solution-related blogs from the past year.
Here they are, starting with most recent:
Listen to Onit's Podcast on Contract Lifecycle Management
Onit is excited to announce the premiere of episode 2 of our new podcast series! In this episode, Reagan Haisler discusses Onit's Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) solution. Starting with the unveiling of Onit's new CLM solution at the ACC Annual Meeting in October, Reagan goes on to offer an overview of CLM. He also talks about what sets Onit apart from other CLM providers, as well as why automation is necessary to an organization. With the assurance that automation shouldn't be a "scary" proposition at all, Reagan also reveals how a cutting-edge CLM solution allows knowledge workers to get about the business of doing what they do best – the "real" knowledge work.
Six Features of the Best Contract Management Solutions
Contract management. If there are two words that can make you cringe, it has to be those two. But contract management is part of life, and it's crucial that organizations have better visibility into where a contract is, how long it's been there, and when it's expected to be completed. That's especially true now that financial reporting is required to improve contract compliance and enhance operational efficiency. Businesses that implement a transparent contract management process compress their time to revenue; mitigate risks by having fewer contractual exceptions, and increase customer satisfaction.
Six Features of the Top Enterprise Legal Management Solutions
When shopping for an enterprise legal management (ELM) solution, you need to ensure that it can be built around the way your teams work. After all, you're trying to streamline your operations and avoid the old standards of relying on email and spreadsheets to get the job done. In today's fast-paced legal settings, lawyers need to be able to work faster, smarter and more efficiently, and the best way to do it is by automating law department processes.
Five Must-Have Features of a Contract Lifecycle Management Solution
Contracts directly impact your ability to meet sales goals and execute on corporate initiatives. But managing the lifecycle of a contract — from review to approval to execution to renewal — involves a lot of departments, and those departments often don't have access to the same systems. Businesses that implement a transparent contract management process compress their time to revenue; mitigate risks by having fewer contractual exceptions, and increase customer satisfaction.
Five Must-Have Features of an Evolving Business Process Platform
Every organization needs a business process platform that can grow beyond the legal department and automate all of your enterprise process needs. While it's okay to acquire traditional, individual enterprise process solutions as you need them, there is much to be said for platforms that are built with change in mind and designed to evolve your processes.
Paradigm Shifts Shouldn't Be Ignored: The Case for ELM
For quite a few years, enterprise legal management (ELM) has focused on matter management and spend management. It's fair to say that effective ELM platforms were, and still are, good at what they do best – only matter and spend management. But many of these platforms were designed solely for storage and access of data; not a whole lot more than that. This is the problem, and these systems need to be laid to rest.
Six Features of Focused Contract Management Solutions
Traditional "all-in-one" contract management (CM) software solutions can be astonishingly expensive, cumbersome, and don't always work well in legal departments. User experience can be sub-par, and such a system is hard to change when it needs to support a new business initiative. CM should be visible to many areas of an organization, and that data should be both easy to find and logically stored. Legal needs to be able to work together with procurement, sales and others to function at full capacity. Additionally, the contract review process needs structure to avoid miscommunication and missed opportunities. Is your organization lacking in one of these areas?
The New Generation of Process Automation: Collaborative Capability Fuels Success
Business process automation has been around for decades and is now considered old news. Someone pushes a button and the automated "system of record" process starts. But nowadays more is needed than simply tracking the data. Daily interactions that occur between groups and departments require tools that clearly define, track, and report on who is responsible at each step and who is taking over. In short, built-in, collaborative processes are desperately needed.
Game Changing Features of Leading ELM Solutions
There have been some pretty momentous game changers in the world of enterprise legal management (ELM) solutions in recent years. I'll take it a step further and tell you there has also been an evolutionary paradigm shift in ELM (but we'll save that for another story).
Avoid the Black Hole at all Costs: Revive Your Ailing Contract Management Process
Contracts are the lifeblood of all business agreements — whether it's buying or selling products, services or consulting agreements. As part of this process, someone must create a contract, negotiate the terms and ultimately store it where it can be accessed by other team members.

Syndrom hydroperikardu a hepatitidy u brojlerů (angl. hydropericardium-hepatitis syndrome, HHS, nebo Angara disease),  je akutní onemocnění kura domácího charakterizované vysokou morbiditou a mortalitou, hydroperikardem a nekrotickou hepatitidou. První výskyt syndromu byl zaznamenán v Pákistánu v roce 1987 pod názvem "Angara disease."  Výskyt HHS je pravděpodobně celosvětový.

Za původce syndromu jsou považovány konvenční ptačí adenoviry sérotypů FAV-4 a FAV-8. K přenosu infekce dochází vertikálně i horizontálně, z organismu se virus vylučuje trusem. Konkurentní infekce zhoršují průběh nemoci a zvyšují ztráty. Predispozicí k onemocnění je imunosuprese vyvolávaná faktory infekční i neinfekční povahy.

Nejčastěji onemocní výkrmová kuřata ve věku 3-5 týdnů; popsán byl ale také výskyt u kuřat z rozmnožovacího chovu masného typu (RCHM) a u kuřat nosného typu. Trvání nemoci je asi 9-14 dní, morbidita se pohybuje mezi 10-30 % a denní mortalita může dosahovat až 3-5 %. Od inkluzní hepatitidy drůbeže se liší vyšší mortalitou a častějším výskytem hydroperikardu.

Klinické příznaky nejsou specifické. Pozoruje se náhle zvýšená mortalita, netečnost zvířat a jejich shlukování, načepýřené peří a nažloutlé hlenovité výkaly. Charakteristickým pitevním nálezem je hydroperikard, nekrózy v myokardu, játra zvětšená, křehká, světlé barvy s nekrotickými ložisky a překrvení a edém plic.

Diagnostika, terapie a prevence jsou stejné jako u ostatních adenovirových infekcí ptáků.

Alcohol abuse doesn't just happen out of the blue. There are situations that an individual may encounter throughout their life that can have a huge impact on whether or not they drink, and to what extent.
A person's family life, school, peers, and work can all have a significant influence on their drinking habits. Today, we're discussing the social determinants of alcohol abuse—the risk factors that lead to addiction.
How big of an impact does social influence have on drinking habits?
Scientists have been trying to determine for years if there is an "alcoholic gene" or another marker that would make someone more likely to become dependent on alcohol. The current understanding is that genes influence about half of one's likelihood to abuse alcohol. The other half comes from the environment that the individual lives in.
A person's home life plays a huge role in whether or not they'll struggle with alcoholism.
Parents and older siblings who drink can set the stage for the drinking habits of the children, whether they intend to or not.
On the other hand, parents can decrease a child's risk of alcoholism by warning them about the dangers of drinking early on. Studies have also shown that children with parental support and a close relationship with their parents are less likely to abuse alcohol.
The school that a student attends can be instrumental in whether or not they begin using drugs or alcohol. And it's not just at parties. Students who drink may encourage their friends to join in, sometimes even on school grounds. And students with poor social or coping skills may be more at risk for drinking as a way to deal with stress or to fit in.
Traumatic experiences should never be underestimated for victims of any age. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, adolescents receiving alcohol abuse treatment report higher rates of physical and sexual abuse than others. In most of the reported cases, the alcoholism developed after the abuse.
When you're not making enough to make ends meet, things can feel hopeless. You might start to look for relief with alcohol. One of the groups with the highest frequency of alcoholism is unemployed adults between the ages of 26 and 34.
Alternatively, many people drink as a way to wind down after a stressful work day. Work-related stress has a significant correlation with alcohol abuse. Some 6.6% of Americans in full-time jobs report heavy drinking patterns.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, roughly one-third of individuals with a mental illness experience substance abuse. This percentage goes up for those with more several mental illnesses.
While not an obvious social factor, mental health can heavily influence how an individual interacts with the people around them, and how well they can manage in their environment.
When substance abuse disorder occurs in addition to a mental health disorder, it's called a "co-occurring disorder" or "dual diagnosis." It's very common, but many recovery centers are not properly equipped to treat both disorders in an individualized program. At The Recovery Village, we offer dual diagnosis treatment to make sure patients with multiple disorders are given the customized care they need.
How can alcohol abuse be prevented?
Alcoholism is a disease that takes on a life of its own. As it develops, it impairs the individual's ability to make sound decisions and exert self-control.
That said, the initial decision to drink is usually voluntary. And there are specific factors that can help an individual make the healthy choice.
When does casual drinking become problem drinking? Identifying a problem with alcohol in yourself or a loved one can be difficult. Take this short quiz to know for sure.

The Global Taiwan Institute is pleased to present the film "After Spring: the Tamaki Family…" in our ongoing series of social and cultural programs in Washington, DC.
Doors open at 6:00 and the film will begin at 6:30. Light snacks will be provided. Please contact GTI Program Associate Jonathan Lin if you have questions or concerns. Kindly RSVP by March 22.
We will be showing the film After Spring: the Tamaki Family, by Taiwanese director Huang Yin-Yu (黃胤毓).
During Taiwan's period of Japanese rule in the 1930s, a group of pineapple farmers sailed to the Yaeyama Islands in Okinawa to start a new life. Over time, they became naturalized Japanese and thrived. Grandma Tamayo Tamaki was among the first generation of these immigrants. In 2015, the Tamaki family reunited to celebrate her 88th birthday, taking her back to Taiwan to revisit her family, and reigniting memories of her quest for a better life.
From the basis of the Tamaki family's history, Huang undertook extensive fieldwork to represent the forgotten history of these island immigrants. Having experienced and observed many historical events such as Japanese rule, WWII and Taiwan's retrocession, their identity as a Taiwanese faded with time. But by returning to Taiwan, questions of identity resurface. Like Shinsuke Ogawa, Huang fully immerses himself in his subjects' lives and environment enabling him to establish an intimate rapport with his subjects, while ample archive materials give depth to the story's historical context.
Following the film, we will have a discussion with the film director, Huang Yin-Yu (黃胤毓), and the deputy director of the Okinawa Prefecture Washington D.C. Office, Takao Aharen.
Huang Yin-Yu was born in Taitung, Taiwan, and currently resides in Okinawa. He graduated from National Chengchi University with a BA in Radio and Television, and has an MA in Film from Japan's Tokyo Zokei University. He has been an active writer during his college career in Taiwan, mainly participating as a film critic for journals such as "Youth Literary", and "Film Appreciation".
Director Huang Yin-Yu has focused his works on documentaries, and has directed a total of four documentaries with the first debut, "Wuguwang N. St. to Taipei" in 2010. His newest documentary, "After Spring: the Tamaki Family… " released in 2016, has won a Special Screening in the 2017 Osaka Asian Film Festival.
Takao Aharen, currently serving as the Deputy Director of the Okinawa Prefectural Government Washington, D.C. Office has been in the U.S. for two years now, and their main mission is to inform American federal staff, Congress, and the American people of what is happening regarding the relationship between Okinawan people and the U.S. military bases on Okinawa. He was previously assigned to promote Okinawa's tourism and investment.

Az I típusú német tengeralattjárók voltak az első német tengeralattjárók, melyeket az első világháború után építettek. A Kriegsmarine-nak szüksége volt olyan tengeralattjárókra, melyek képesek ellátni feladataikat az óceánon is. Mindössze két darab IA típusú U-boot készült el, de a további gyártást politikai okokból állították le, nem pedig a konstrukció hibái miatt. Bár komolyabb tervezési hibájuk nem volt ezeknek a tengeralattjáróknak, kezelésük nehézkes volt lassú merülésük és alacsony stabilitásuk miatt. Az I típust az Ingenieurskantoor voor Scheepsbouw (hajótervező mérnökiroda) tervei alapján készítették, csakúgy mint a szovjet S osztályú tengeralattjárókat. Később az I típus szolgált többek közt a VII és az IX típusú U-bootok alapjául.

Az első I típusú tengeralattjárót a AG Weser brémai hajógyárában építették, majd 1936. február 14-én bocsátották vízre. A két legyártott U-boot, az U-25 és az U-26, főként csak kiképzőhajóként és a náci propaganda eszközeként szolgált. 1940-ben a tengeralattjárókat hadrafogták, a rendelkezésre álló tengeralattjárók szűkössége miatt. Mindkét U-boot rövid de sikeres pályafutást futott be. Az U-25 öt őrjáraton vett részt, melyek során nyolc ellenséges hajót süllyesztett el. 1940. augusztus 3-án, egy norvégiai, aknatelepítő küldetés során aknának ütközött, majd a legénység minden tagjával a tenger fenekére süllyedt.

Az U-26 nyolc őrjáraton vett részt. Már első, aknatelepítő küldetésén három szállítóhajót elsüllyesztett, valamint egy brit hadhajót megrongált. Második háborús őrjáratán, az U-26 vált az első német tengeralattjáróvá, amely behajózott a Földközi-tengerre. Ezt követően három újabb őrjáraton is részt vett, melyek során négy további hajót elpusztított. Nyolcadik őrjáratán, az U-26-nak, újabb három kereskedelmi hajót sikerült elsüllyesztenie, és egyet megrongálnia. Az utolsó hajó megtámadását követően két brit hadihajó mélységi bombákkal támadta a német tengeralattjárót. Az U-26 képtelen volt lemerülni, ezért fel kellett jönnie a felszínre, ahol egy Short Sunderland típusú repülőgép bombázni kezdte a tengeralattjárót. Az U-boot legénysége elsüllyesztette a tengeralattjárót, majd a szövetségesek hadihajói felvették őket.

Q: Add attributes to matched parsed json-to-xml map prior to flatten data I am looking for a way to match each highest level of data, and add specific attributes for that level.
Since the attributes will be different and specific to that highest level of data I assume the need of using template. When the attributes has been applied, the data can be flattened.
Note! The high level keys from JSON data is not needed in the produced XML, they are only needed to understand that each high level key group should have specific set of attributes.
To clarify, the current difference between "result" and "wanted result", is that "result" adds the attribute "period0" on all given high-level keys, meanwhile "wanted result" is that each high-level key (e.g. "general", etc) has it's own way of defining it's attributes, prior to being flattened. Added some comments in the "wanted result" for further clarification of origin.

In my mother's vegetarian kitchen, eggs were the only non-vegetarian treat we were allowed to make. Of course, there was the no non-veg rule on Tuesdays and Fridays and mom fasted on Mondays and Thursdays. Somehow, some auspicious day or the other always fell on the intervening Wednesday. Invariably, then, the only days of the week we were actually allowed to make eggs were the weekends. Hence, our Sunday evening dinners would end up being masala omelettes.
I still remember how much we'd look forward to these Sunday dinners. My mom absolutely refused to have anything to do with cooking eggs. So, dad would man the stove and make the omelettes. It was our family's version of the barbecue grill. My granny would chop up onions, green chillies and corriander. I got to help break the eggs. It was very satisfying to take a spoon or a fork and crack at the egg gently till it opened up and then whisk the yellow and white together till they became one yellow batter. Being able to help in my way in making our Sunday treat made me feel all grown up.
We always ate the masala omelette with bread or pav and ketchup. My father and brother liked to put ketchup on one side of the pav or on one bread and make a sandwich out of it. I liked to make bite sized pieces of the bread, break a bite of the omelette with it and dip it in ketchup and eat it. You can also eat it rolled up in a paratha or roti. Any way you eat it, this little treat will not fail to satisfy your tastebuds!
In a large bowl, crack open the eggs.
Add in the salt and garam masala and mix till it forms a uniform mixture. Use a fork and whisk vigorously to remove any lumps the masala might make.
To this add the chopped onions, chillies and corriander. Mix well.
Heat oil on a shallow frying pan.
Pour about 1/4th of the egg mixture and spread till it forms a thin layer. Cook till golden brown on one side. It will easily come off the pan when you put in the spatula if it's done.
Serve hot with bread/ pav and ketchup.

Könneritz (auch Konneritz, Konritz) ist der Name eines alten thüringisch-meißnischen Adelsgeschlechts.

Geschichte
Die Familie wurde erstmals 1191 urkundlich erwähnt. Namentlich trat Theodericus de Konricz, begütert zu Biesern, Dölitz, Geithain, Greifenhain, Kohren, Teusdorf, Salis und Seitenhain 1348/49 urkundlich auf. Könderitz, das Stammhaus der Familie, liegt bei Zeitz. Weitere Familiensitze waren in Aschersleben, Bösau, Dessau, Eisleben, Frauendorf, Gettewitz, Groß Dölzig, Hedersleben, Heerde, Lossa, Lobstädt, Nöthnitz, Mäussdorf oder Menssdorff, Weißenfels, Wiederau, Zossen.

Heinrich von Könneritz (um 1483–1551), Herr auf Lobstädt, war Berghauptmann zu Joachimsthal und Münzmeister. Sein Sohn Asmus (Erasmus) (1515–1563), ebenfalls Herr auf Lobschwitz, war 1545 Amtmann in Schneeberg, 1547 Kreishauptmann des Leipziger oder osterländischen Kreises, 1548 sächsischer Oberamtmann und Rat zu Leipzig, 1557 Oberhofrichter in Leipzig und Ratgeber des Kurfürsten Moritz von Sachsen. Er war entscheidend am Zustandekommen des Augsburger Reichs- und Religionsfriedens beteiligt. Sein Epitaph befindet sich im Vorraum der Lobstädter Kirche.

1609 wurde die österreichische Linie in den Freiherrenstand und 1852 die deutsche Familie in den sächsischen Freiherrenstand, 1864 in den sächsischen Grafenstand erhoben.

Max Muscle's contribution to the growing choice of Phosphatidic acid-based supplements is MaxxTOR, developed to increase the signalling of the mTOR protein in the user. Studies suggest that this leads to an increased rate of protein synthesis, and subsequent muscle growth and strength gains.
The formula contains other components known for their interaction in the mTOR pathway, making it one of the current leading products of its type.
The mammalian target of rapamycin – mTOR – is a fundamental protein which handles many upstream pathways related to insulin, growth factors (IGF-1 and IGF-2) and amino acids and integrates them into different mechanisms; protein synthesis being the important one where muscle mass increase is concerned.
The ingredients which make up the formula for MaxxTOR have all been included for there ability to increase the signaling of the protein mTOR, which catalyzes the formation of two distinct structures called complexes.
The mTORC1 complex is the one mainly of interest to supplement manufacturers using Phosphatidic acid because it is stimulated by the ingredient, and oxidative stress (resistance weight training) amongst other things. Leucine, which is another ingredient of MaxxTOR, is also a trigger, as are both insulin and insulin-like growth factors.
It has been demonstrated that the mechanical action of lifting weight forces the release of phosphatidic acid, which in turn acts as one of the several triggers of the mTORC1 complex, and thus muscle growth from increased protein synthesis. By supplementing additional phosphatidic acid with MaxxTOR, the idea is that the natural release will be augmented and increase the beneficial anabolic response.
Are There Any Side Effects or Negatives?
The clinical trial which demonstrates the effectiveness of the main ingredient is still fresh. There is yet to be some research done into the advantages and disadvantages of stimulating the mTOR pathway in general. Some evidence suggests that the inhibition of mTOR may actually increase life expectancy and reduce the risk of certain cancers.
It is not the objective of this article to assess the full scope of the cellular activity related to mTOR signaling, and the supplemental stimulation thereof. If a potential consumer is unsure about any supplement, they should consult a medical professional. The same advice goes for people currently using medication, suffering from a medical condition, pregnant or nursing/breastfeeding.
Max Muscle's website advertises MaxxTOR for $79.99 for 21 days worth of pills, which makes it about the same price as one of its leading competitors, Phospha Build [link]. However, with Phospha Build you will get 30 days usage.
From the current selection of products similar to MaxxTOR it looks to be one of the strongest available. Certainly the addition of Leucine and its metabolite HMB makes it as much an mTOR stimulator as possible with the volume of space available inside capsules.
If you are definitely going to choose a supplement of this type, the companies that make it recommend you do not settle for anything but the patent-pending Mediator variant of phosphatidic acid. There are other types, the validity of which could in theory be questioned, but in time, the quality supplements in this class will shine.
Want something that gives you a little more bang for your buck?
There are several other supplements that we have reviewed, each of which already have a large customer base and are very popular. If you would like to learn more about them, please follow the link below.
Many of these products are available at special prices and rates which the ones on the shelves of supplement stores cannot compete with due the overheads and profit margins the stores apply.
