PAD is a common circulation problem in which the arteries that carry blood to the legs or arms become narrowed or clogged. Pain and restricted activity is the result. Learn how to be active again by treating Peripheral Arterial Disease PAD.
Osteoporosis is the result of low bone mass and can steal the independence away from otherwise healthy adults. There are exciting new treatments that can help patients who suffer from compression fractures in the spine caused by osteoporosis. Learn more how kyphoplasty can help correct your osteoporosis.
Radiofrequency ablation kills tumor cells with heat, while sparing healthy tissue. This treatment is patient friendly and more effective than systemic therapy. Learn more about radiofrequency RF ablation as a cancer therapy.
Veins that have lost their ability to return blood efficiently, become elongated, rope-like, bulged, and thickened. Through a minimally invasive procedure, these unsightly veins can be a thing of the past. Learn more about spider and varicose veins.
Healthy veins are important to your overall health. If you have leg pain or are finding that your leg veins are more noticeable, you may have Deep Vein Thrombosis. Learn more about deep vein thrombosis.
PAD results from a build-up of plaque and scar tissue inside the arterial walls, restricting blood flow. This can cause pain, cramping, and tiredness in the legs or arms. Left untreated, symptoms will worsen and possibly lead to more serious problems. When lifestyle modifications and medications are not enough to resolve PAD symptoms, Dr. Shelley uses noninvasive ultrasound to locate the arterial blockage and remove it using a minimally invasive technique in the interventional suite at Bingham Memorial Hospital. The high-tech, image-guided instrumentation in this dedicated suite is used to deliver the most advanced and effective solutions. The suite's boutique setting is welcoming, comfortable, and designed to reduce patient anxiety.
Interventional options include balloon angioplasty to compress the plaque, arterial stenting to widen and support the blood vessel from within, and catheter atherectomy that grabs and withdraws the plaque from within the vessel. Following treatment, patients usually return to normal activities within 24 hours.
Leg swelling, discoloration, pain, fatigue, heaviness—all are common signs of venous insufficiency (varicose veins). Left untreated, risks include a worsening of the problem, breakdown of the skin, and the development of non-healing skin ulcers. Seeking treatment early results in the best outcome.
On February 21, 2013, Dr. Shelley was a guest on KISU 91.1 FM's radio show House Call with Dr. Rahim in which he discussed varicose veins and restless leg syndrome. Listen to the show by clicking HERE.

Le Second Empire d'Haïti () est une ancienne monarchie située dans les Caraïbes et qui fut en place de 1849 à 1859.

L'Empire est créé par le président de l'époque, l'ancien lieutenant général et commandant suprême des gardes présidentielles sous le président Jean-Baptiste Riché, Faustin Soulouque, qui, inspiré par Napoléon , s'est proclamé empereur d'Haïti sous le nom de Faustin  le . Couronné à la cathédrale Notre-Dame de l'Assomption de Port-au-Prince, son règne est marqué par plusieurs guerres livrées contre la République dominicaine voisine dans le but de la reconquérir, et par l'autoritarisme du pouvoir impérial.

Toutefois, les tentatives infructueuses de l'empereur pour reconquérir la République dominicaine minèrent son pouvoir et une conspiration menée par le général Fabre Nicolas Geffrard amena à une révolution, ce qui le contraignit à l'abdication en 1859.

Fin de la République

Le  mars 1847, le général Faustin Soulouque est élu président de la République par le Sénat et succède au président Riché, décédé en fonctions. Pendant son mandat, ce dernier avait agi comme un homme de paille de la classe dirigeante boyériste, qui se mit tout de suite en quête d'un remplaçant. Son attention se concentra vite sur Faustin Soulouque, dans lequel la plupart voyaient quelqu'un d'un peu effacé et un ignorant. Âgé de 65 ans, il paraissait un candidat malléable et fut donc incité à accepter le rôle qu'on lui offrait. Il prêta le serment d'entrée dans les fonctions présidentielles le .

Au début Faustin parut remplir convenablement son rôle de marionnette. Il conserva à leurs postes les ministres de l'ancien président et continua le programme de son prédécesseur. Il fallut peu de temps cependant pour qu'il se débarrassât de ses partisans et se fît le maître absolu de l'État haïtien. Selon le livre de Mark Kurlansky A Continent Of Islands: Searching For The Caribbean Destiny « il organisa une milice privée, les Zinglins, et fit arrêter et massacrer, tous ceux qui s'opposaient à lui, en particulier les mulâtres, consolidant par là son pouvoir sur le gouvernement ». , culmina au Sénat et à la Chambre des Députés où il se fit proclamer empereur d'Haïti le .

Soulouque invita également les Louisianais noirs à émigrer à Haïti. Un afro-créole originaire de la Nouvelle-Orléans et qui avait été élevé à Haïti, Emile Desdunes, travailla comme agent de Soulouque et, en 1859, organisa le transport gratuit à Haïti d'au moins 350 personnes désespérées. Un grand nombre de ces réfugiés devaient rentrer plus tard en Louisiane.

Le règne de Soulouque fut marqué par une violente répression contre l'opposition et par de nombreux meurtres. Le fait que Soulouque était ouvertement un adepte de la religion africaine Vaudou contribua à sa réputation de violence. Au cours de son règne Soulouque fut agi par les préjugés, la haine et la discrimination à l'égard des créoles (les mêmes sentiments existant évidemment en miroir).

L'Empire

Couronnement

Le 25 août 1849, Soulouque se fait proclamer empereur par le Parlement sous le nom de Faustin . Son sacre a lieu le 18 avril 1852, dans un faste ruineux pour les finances de ce pays, et le paiement de la dette doit être interrompu. Soulouque a payé 2 000 £ pour sa couronne et 30 000 £ pour le reste des accessoires (selon Sir Spenser St John, chargé d'affaires britannique en Haïti dans les années 1860, sur son compte: "Hayti ou La République noire", pp. 95–96).

Gustave d'Alaux décrit cet événement dans son livre, Soulouque et son empire: « Sa majesté impériale fit appeler un matin le principal marchand de Port-au-Prince et lui ordonna de commander immédiatement à Paris un costume, identique à celui du sacre de Napoléon. Faustin  a d'ailleurs commandé pour lui-même une couronne, une pour l'impératrice, un sceptre, un globe terrestre, une main de justice, un trône et tous les autres accessoires, comme tous ceux utilisés lors du couronnement de Napoléon. »

En , Faustin épousa sa compagne de longue date, Adélina Lévêque. Le , à la capitale, Port-au-Prince, l'empereur et l'impératrice sont couronnés lors d'une immense et somptueuse cérémonie, à l'instar du couronnement de l'empereur des français.

L'empereur prononce son discours et conclut par : « Vive la liberté, vive l'amour ! »(Gustave d'Alaux). Le couronnement est illustré dans « l'Album Impériale d'Haïti », gravé par Severyn, publié à New York, 1852 (disponible à la British Library).

Politique
Pour affirmé sa légitimité, Faustin fait revenir les enfants du premier empereur, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, leur redonne le titre de « prince » et « princesse » et offre une pension à l'ancienne impératrice Marie-Claire Bonheur.

Par la suite, il organise une répression violente contre les mulâtres et rétablit l'absolutisme sur l'île. La constitution impériale, qu'il a lui-même rédigé, proclame l'empire héréditaire. L'unique fils de l'empereur étant mort en 1849, la succession passa donc au prince Mainville-Joseph, fils du grand-duc Jean-Joseph, lui-même frère de l'empereur. Afin d'avoir des descendants sur le trône, Faustin organisa le mariage de sa fille aînée, la princesse Olive Soulouque, avec son cousin le prince Mainville-Joseph. Le couple donnera trois enfants à la Couronne.

La politique étrangère de l'empereur était centrée sur la prévention de l'intrusion étrangère dans la politique et la souveraineté haïtienne. L'indépendance de la République dominicaine (alors appelée Saint-Domingue), constituait, selon lui, une menace directe pour Haïti.

En 1849, Soulouque entreprit sa première invasion de la République dominicaine, mais son armée prit la fuite après la défaite à la bataille d'Ocoa. Une deuxième invasion s'ensuivit en 1850, où Haïti fut soutenu par la France, le Royaume-Uni et des États-Unis. Lors de la troisième et dernière invasion en 1855, Soulouque entra en République dominicaine à la tête d'une armée de 30 000 hommes qui dut battre en retraite. Durant ses trois expéditions, il dut faire face au général Pedro Santana qui dirigeait alors la République dominicaine.

Noblesse

L'empereur a tenté de créer un gouvernement centralisé fort qui, tout en conservant un caractère profondément haïtien, s'inspirait énormément des traditions européennes, en particulier de l'Empire napoléonien. Un de ses premiers actes après avoir été déclaré empereur fut d'établir une nouvelle noblesse. La Constitution du  accorde à l'empereur le droit de créer des titres héréditaires et de conférer d'autres honneurs à ses sujets. Les volumes 5 et 6 du magazine The National de John Saunders and Westland Marston (publié en 1859) expliquaient que l'Empire était composé de 59 ducs, 90 comtes, 30 chevaliers et 250 barons. Cette nouvelle noblesse comprenait également l'ancienne noblesse du Premier Empire et du Royaume du Nord. Les premières lettres patentes ont été émises par Soulouque le . D'autres sources ajoutent "trent cent Chevaliers" et "quatre cents nobles" à cette liste.

Chute de l'Empire

Révolution
En 1858, une révolution commença, dirigée par le général Fabre Geffrard, duc de Tabara et ancien fidèle de l'empereur. En décembre de la même année, Geffrard défit l'armée impériale et s'empara du contrôle de la plus grande partie du pays. Dans la nuit du , Geffrard quitte Port-au-Prince dans un petit bateau, accompagné de son fils et de deux fidèles disciples, Ernest Roumain et Jean-Bart. Le , il est arrivé aux Gonaïves, où l'insurrection a éclaté. La République a été acclamée et la Constitution de 1846 a été adoptée.

Le , le comité départemental des Gonaïves, qui avait été organisé, a décrété l'abolition de l'Empire et l'arrestation de plusieurs membres de la famille impériale. Cap-Haïtien et tout le département de l'Artibonite se sont associés à la restauration de la République. Les journées de  et de janvier 1859 affaiblissent considérablement le pays. Les troupes impériales pourtant épuisées et vaincues à plusieurs reprises par les révolutionnaires continuent à se battre contre l'insurrection. Les révolutionnaires prennent alors le nom de "geffrardistes" et réclament l'arrestation et le procès de l'empereur.

Abdication et exil
Le , le palais impérial est attaqué, l'empereur est contraint d'abdiquer le jour même. Il fut exilé avec sa famille à bord d'un navire de guerre britannique le . Le général Geffrard se fit alors élire président de la République. Peu de temps après, l'empereur et sa famille arrivèrent à Kingston, en Jamaïque. Autorisé à retourner en Haïti par le gouvernement de Sylvain Salnave, Faustin mourut à Petit-Goâve le  et fut enterré à Fort Soulouque.

Jan, Gauhar
Amelia Dutta
(b Allahabad, 1870; d Mysore, 1930). North Indian vocalist of Armenian Jewish descent. Her mother Malka Jan took her in 1881 to Benares (now Varanasi), where they embraced Islam. Influenced by Malka Jan's benefactor, mother and daughter began to train in music and dance under the Lucknow kathak dancer Ali Bux. Gauhar Jan later received training from Ustad Nazir Khan of Rampur, Pyare Saheb of Calcutta and Maharaj Bindadin of Lucknow.
Her first public appearance was in 1887 for the Maharaja of Darbhanga, Bihar, who appointed her as court musician-dancer. She soon became one of the most sought-after vocalists in India, performing in concerts at conferences in Lucknow, Allahabad and Calcutta. At the peak of her career, she lived in an ostentatious residence in Calcutta and commanded fees of Rs 1000 per peformance. Some of the earliest Indian records were Gauhar Jan's. She was one of the most celebrated and flamboyant courtesan singers of the early 20th century, having sung in 20 languages and made some 600 78 r.p.m. recordings. She and Janaki Bai, another courtesan singer, were paid Rs 3000 per recording session. She was popular in both North and South India and is said to have been equally competent in both Hindustani and Karnatak styles. She is also said to have sung ...

Q: How do I fix this code to create an array of strings? I want to create an array of strings. Here is the code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){
  char str1[] = {'f','i'};
  char str2[] = {'s','e'};
  char str3[] = {'t','h'};
  char arry_of_string[] = {str1,str2,str3};
  printf("%s\n",arry_of_string[1]);
  return 0;
}

This is the line that doesn't work:
char arry_of_string[] = {str1,str2,str3};

How do I correct it?

A: If you would like to create an array of strings, you are missing an asterisk, and terminating zeros:
char str1[] = {'f','i','\0'};
char str2[] = {'s','e','\0'};
char str3[] = {'t','h','\0'};
char *arry_of_string[] = {str1,str2,str3};

There is an easier way of doing the individual strings, too:
char str1[] = "fi";
char str2[] = "se";
char str3[] = "th";
char *arry_of_string[] = {str1,str2,str3};

When you use the char x[] = "..." construct, the content of your string literal (which includes a terminating zero) is copied into memory that you are allowed to write, producing the same effect as char x[] = {'.', '.', ... '\0'} construct.

A: you can use it like this:(notice that if you want to print an array of char, u must have it termitated by '\0')
int main()
{
    char str1[] = {'f','i','\0'};
    char str2[] = {'s','e','\0'};
    char str3[] = {'t','h','\0'};
    char* arry_of_string[] = {str1,str2,str3};

    for (int i=0;i<3;i++)
    {
        printf("%s\n",arry_of_string[i]);

    }
    return 0;

}

A: You are probably looking for a pointer here rather than a direct array.
char *arry_of_string[] = {str1,str2,str3};

An array is a collection of values, a pointer is a list of addresses containing values, so a char pointer is a pointer to the address of the arrays containing your strings (character arrays). and breathe

A: you could just use:
const char *array_of_string[] = {"fi", "se", "th"};

int i;
for (i=0;i<3;i++) {
    printf("%s\n", array_of_string[i]);
}

if you want to be concise...

A: When you specify the string as
char* myString = "abcd";

It creates a pointer of type array and points to the base address or the 0th element of the character array. So myString points to a.
Using a char* is useful because c provides a good way of printing out the entire array using
printf("%s",myString);

Also pointer is useful to use when you dont know or dont want to specify the length of the char array.
Your question should be solved if you do this
  char *str1 = "fi";
  char *str2 = "se";
  char *str3 = "th";
  char* arry_of_string[] = {str1,str2,str3};
  int i;

  for (i=0;i<3;i++)
  {
    printf("%s\n",arry_of_string[i]);
  }
  return 0;

Feel free to mark the question answered if you are satisfied.

Where do I pick up my job?
If you are printing to a self-service printer, you will find your job at the printer. If you are printing to one of the printers or plotters in the VCC machine room, output is brought upstairs about once an hour to the racks along side VCC South.
Remember to allow an extra two to four hours for a glossy plot, and an extra three to six hours for clear film after your plot has finished. The plot needs plenty of time to dry before it is rolled up and placed in the racks! Please allow this extra time and be patient.
If you want to print on paper larger than 8 ½ x 11, be sure to follow these instructions. You must change the paper size in the printer properties before printing.

Why Economic Developers Should Care About Their Startup Ecosystems
At a fireside chat with Cintrifuse's Wendy Lea, cofounder of America Online (AOL) and billionaire venture capitalist Steve Case had some bold words to share:
"Disruption is going to hit [big companies] in the face."
Case is making a point to invest in communities like Greater Cincinnati because he believes the next age of innovation will emerge from revitalized industrial centers. And, we agree.
Technology innovation ushers in an age of disruption
In what Case dubbed the "third wave of the Internet," technology is touching every aspect of our lives. With technology that allows consumers to order food on the go, power autonomous vehicles and even receive eye examinations through their phones, companies across all industries face the possibility that their core practices will be revolutionized.
Case said the food industry is one that is often taken for granted, despite being worth more than $1 trillion.
"The fast-casual segment is disrupting the fast food segment, and the technology aspect is really accelerating this disruption," said Case. Consumers at fast-casual restaurants can use mobile phone apps to receive a more personalized experience at every stage of the ordering process.
"It's much more convenient for the consumer, and even though it's the food industry, technology is a key aspect to it," said Case.
We believe that for big companies to prosper in an age of accelerating change, they need access to and the support of a strong entrepreneurial base. Here's why REDI Cincinnati values the region's startup community:
Nearly all net job creation comes from young companies. Case cites research from the Kauffman Foundation. It's true, small businesses and big companies create a large number of jobs – but the turnover in both those segments means job creation balances out in the long run. Young, high-growth companies, on the other hand, account for almost all net new job creation. In real terms, startups created approximately 30 million new jobs in the last decade.
Innovation sustains the business cycle. As economic developers, we must prove that a company that locates in our region can find the tech and innovation that can take it from persevering through disruption to prospering in it. A healthy startup community can generate solutions to rejuvenate a stale product, service or process. Last year, REDI Cincinnati and Cintrifuse partnered on an initiative to help the region's big companies source breakthrough technologies from Israel, a country renowned globally for its innovation and technology advancements.
Competition is good. Innovation introduces competition into markets where big businesses may have absorbed their competitors. Furthermore, startups are required to develop products quicker, more efficiently and at lower costs. Not only does this revitalize the regional economy, it can improve the region's standard of living as consumers have access to more choices at lower cost.
Startups help retain and attract high-quality talent to the region. Young, innovative companies are talent-attraction engines – so much so, we're devoting a separate blog post to it. But we'd be remiss to leave it off this list. Follow us on social media to receive updates from our blog.
Why do you think economic developers should value their startup ecosystem? Share your thoughts with us on Facebook or Twitter.

Festive decorations are an amazing opportunity to make use of pre-loved materials in order to up-cycle them into something beautiful. Not only does recycling items help the planet, it's also a chance for everyone in the family to get together and be creative. The eco-wreath ideas we've collected here at Saltrock are simple enough for children to make, with a little assistance, or can be turned into adult projects which yield spectacular results.
It is possible to make a perfectly respectable wreath base to decorate from a wire coat hanger and some strips of old rags: simply bend the coat hanger into an approximation of a circle, then wind the rags around tightly until a suitable thickness has been obtained. The rag strips can be fasted using a hot glue gun, or stitched if you prefer. Particularly if you pick festive colours, this can work really well. Another form of wreath base can be made by cutting out two circles of thick card to the desired dimensions, then cutting a smaller circle inside the first to create a wreath shape. Again, you may well need padding beneath to give the right effect.
There are also a wide variety of pre-formed wreaths which can be bought quite reasonably. These form an excellent base for your project. It also means you can select one made of the material most suitable for what you have in mind.
Spray painting. Buy a twig or rattan wreath (or fashion one yourself from willow branches, discreetly secured with cable ties or string), then add cones, twigs, baubles, holly, leaves and similar – a hot glue gun is a fast, easy way of ensuring a secure fix, but clearly isn't suitable for use by younger children. Use a gold, silver or bronze paint spray to complete cover the wreath. The effect is stunning!
A rag wreath – cut strips of brightly coloured rag and fasten them around the wreath, using a simple tie knot. Cover the wreath completely to give an amazingly effective result that is incredibly easy to do.
A green wreath. You will need moss, assorted evergreen leaves (holly, privet, yew, ivy, euonymus,or eucalyptus, for example), some thin wire and a base wreath. Begin by wrapping strips of moss around the wreath base, securing it in place with wire. Poke small bunches of leaves into the wreath, through the moss. Further ornamentation can be added with holly berries, cinnamon sticks, cones or ribbon bows if required.
A fragrant wreath. This may be as simple as attaching cinnamon sticks or dried slices of citrus fruit (you can buy pre-dried citrus slices, or make your own by cleaning lemons, oranges or limes, cutting them into slices and baking slowly on a cooling rack over a baking tray at around 120 degrees (gas mark ½) for 3-4 hours, turning every half-an-hour or so) to any of the above wreath ideas. Alternatively, why not add a few drops of essential oil to your wreath? Pine, cinnamon, peppermint, frankincense, clove and sweet orange are all firm, festive favourites.
Once the festive period is over, the wreaths made from natural materials (so willow branches, cones, leaves and berries) can be composted or put in garden waste. Fabric wreaths can be recycled at a rag bank (make sure to separate the material from a synthetic base, if you have opted for one. Don't forget that wreaths can also make beautiful all-year-round decorations: just vary the colour scheme, greenery and/or adornments as the seasons change.


The purpose of this document is to provide standards, policies and protocols that should be adhered to and act as a point of reference.
Over the past 18 months a number of issues have arisen and national standards set, and these are collected and summarised here. I would like to thank all of those who have provided suggestions and articles for this.
Please note that this document is constantly evolving and this latest version has yet to be ratified or agreed in the department, although the intention is that these standards will be adopted.

Once again, Rabbi Meir is at the head of the pack with Rabbi Yehudah behind him, with a lot of appearances! Yes, Rabbi Yehudah is the most frequently-appearing sage in the whole סדר, while Rabbi Meir is the fourth, although it is interesting to note that the חכמים are the second most frequently-appearing (curiously enough, Rabbi Eliezer is the tenth most frequently-appearing). Of the appearances of the חכמים speaking against various sages, Rabbi Meir appears in 39.7% of them, Rabbi Yehudah appears in 22.1% of them, Rabbi Eliezer appears in 10.3% of them, and Rabbi Akiva appears in 7.4% of them. These four sages account for three-quarters of all of the appearances of the חכמים arguing against sages.
Just to show how much of Rabbi Meir's statements have the חכמים appearing to argue on him, the frequency is 40.3%, meaning roughly two out of every five statements of his are challenged by this group! We can contrast that with the next three: Rabbi Eliezer = 20.6%, Rabbi Akiva = 12.8%, and Rabbi Yehudah = 10.1%. We can contrast this with Rabbi Yose (2.9%) or Rabbi Shim'on (1.6%), who are Rabbi Yehudah's and Rabbi Meir's contemporaries, and get very different frequencies.
It is very curious as to why Rabbi Meir gets a very high amount of response from the חכמים….

ARC REVIEW: Riven – by Belina Crawford
Title: Riven
(The Hero Rebellion #2)
Author: Belinda Crawford
Genre: YA, Science Fiction, Fantasy
First published: October 4th 2016
Publisher: Odyssey Books
Finished reading: April 29th 2017
"Instead, she reached out to touch her mum's mind. And ran smack-bang into a mawberry-flavoured wall. She glared at Fink.
He twitched an ear. Manners, he thought to her."
*** A copy of this book was kindly provided to me by the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! ***
Riven is the second book of The Hero Rebellion series I started reading last year. It's also probably one of the few YA sci-fi/fantasy series out there that is 100% romance free thanks to the fact that the author Belinda Crawford probably dislikes cheesy romance as much as I do. I enjoy reading the genre and tend to tolerate the romance since it seems to go with it, so not having to deal with it in The Hero Rebellion is definitely a rare treat. This story focuses on the worldbuilding of Jørn instead and is stuffed to its limit with action and more action. As soon as you start reading, you find yourself right in the middle of the action and that won't stop until you reach the last page. The worldbuilding is interesting and I love the idea behind it; the Jørn creatures and the many street races are probably my favorite part of this series. The main character Hero's powers and colorful 'thought'-speaking can get a bit confusing if you are not used to it (it took me a bit longer to get used to this time), but there is no doubt it is one of the most original features of this sci-fi world. Riven ends with a cliffhanger that definitely makes me want to find out what happens next… Because there is still much to learn about Jørn and the main characters. I did feel the plot wasn't as interesting as in book one, but that just might be because part of it was a preparation of what is still to come. If you enjoy the genre and like me are allergic to romance, this one is just for you!
WARNING: Possible spoilers! Please don't read this summary if you haven't read the first book yet. I'll keep the summary super short but it's impossible to keep it completely spoiler-free…
Hero Regan is a telepath and the first of a new subspecies of human; an experiment to try and find a way for the human race to survive on Jørn. But something seems to be wrong after all that happened lately. Her brain is acting up, and that might just be directly related to the 'bad thing'. Her genetically engineered companion Fink is acting up as well… And even though she already has too many things to deal with, the Librarian once again needs her help to save the world and it doesn't seem like she has a choice in the matter. Will Hero be able to deal with all of this?
Riven is without doubt an action-packed and entertaining sci-fi read and the best part is that it's 100% romance free. I struggled a bit more to get used to the whole 'thought-talking' and 'colored/scented thoughts' thing, but it is without doubt a very original concept. The plot itself wasn't as strong as in Hero, but it did sound promising for the things that are still to come. I will be looking forward to book three!
