Zika Virus News You Can Use
Posted January 30, 2016 in Breast Augmentation, Home, Mommy Makeover, Patient Safety, Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
Updated: 15 March, 2016 – new evidence of link between Zika virus and microcephaly and the sexual transmission of virus.
Updated: 28 March, 2016 – new recommendations for couples trying to conceive who have potentially be exposed to the Zika virus.
Updated: 09 April, 2016 – transmission rate estimates from mother to infant.
Updated: 07 May, 2016 – 80% of those infected with the Zika virus have no symptoms.
It's no secret that most Plastic Surgery Patients are women. While most Plastic Surgery Procedures are for age management, a significant number of Cosmetic Surgeries are performed to repair the ravages of pregnancy. In fact, surgery to repair the changes after pregnancy is common enough to have it own name: Mommy Makeover. The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures that provides Breast Enhancement and Abdominal Sculpting, the most common combination being Breast Augmentation with a Tummy Tuck.
Pregnancy and the Zika Virus
Since many of my patients are of child bearing age, and since the Zika virus has been in the news, this week's post is a PSA with the latest information and links to more information about the Zika Virus.
If you've seen the evening news lately, then you know the Zika virus is associated with severe birth defects when it infects a pregnant woman. To date, there have been no cases of direct transmission between people (except sexually), so how is it transmitted and what exactly does it do?
How the Zika Virus Spreads
In almost every documented case, the Zika virus needs a vector to spread. In the case of the Zika virus, the vector is the Aedes mosquito, the same mosquito that spreads dengue and chikungunya. If a mosquito bites a person infected with the Zika virus, it can then spread the virus to the people it bites subsequently.

The virus can also be transmitted through a blood transfusion of infected blood, and cases of suspected sexual transmission have now been confirmed. In terms of the numbers of people infected, these are extremely rare means of transmission. If you are pregnant, or trying to get pregnant; however, prevention is the best medicine. For most people infected by the virus the symptoms are mild, but for pregnant women there is substantial new clinical and epidemiological research, which strengthens the association between Zika infection and the occurrence of fetal malformations and neurological disorders. One particularly devastating disorder is microcephaly. Microcephaly is a severe birth defect resulting from decreased brain size, and it seems to be more likely to occur with Zika virus infection.
Zika research is still in its early stages. Despite what you may have heard on the evening news, information on transmission from mothers to babies during pregnancy or childbirth is currently very limited. Current estimates are that one infant in one-hundred is affected. Perinatal transmission has been reported with other mosquito-borne viruses such as dengue and chikungunya, so transmission of the Zika virus seems likely. Research is currently under way on possible mother-to-child transmission of the virus and its effects on babies. Pregnant women in general, and particularly those who develop symptoms of Zika virus infection, should be closely monitored by health providers.
On November 28, 2015, Brazil's Ministry of Health established a relationship between an increase in cases of microcephaly in newborns and Zika virus infections in the country's northeast. According to a preliminary analysis of research carried out by Brazilian authorities, the greatest risk of microcephaly and malformations appears to be associated with infection during the first trimester of pregnancy. How often Zika virus infection leads to microcephaly has yet to be determined. Precise numbers will be hard to determine, especially since the virus can infect without symptoms. Only a small fraction of infections seem to lead to birth defects; however, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recently strengthened there warning to pregnant women. The WHO 's original recommendation urged pregnant women to avoid bites from the mosquitos that carry the virus. Now the WHO is advising them to avoid travel to areas where the transmission of the virus is widespread. Next may be advice to avoid having sexual relations with anyone recently traveling to areas where Zika virus exposure is on going.
How Long To Wait Before Conception If Exposed to the Zika Virus
On March 25, 2016, the CDC updated the guidelines for reproductive-age women and their partners who have been exposed, or potentially exposed, to the Zika virus. Women who have been diagnosed with acute Zika virus disease should wait at least 8 weeks from symptom onset to attempted conception. Zika-diagnosed men should wait at least 6 months. Both men and women who may have been exposed to Zika virus should wait at least 8 weeks from possible exposure to time of attempted conception. Possible exposure events include travel to or residence in a Zika-endemic area or unprotected sexual intercourse with a man who has traveled to or resided in a Zika-endemic area up 6 months after his latest potential exposure.
The History of the Zika Virus
The Zika Virus was discovered in 1947 in the Zika forest of Uganda. For much of its history, it remained in Africa, with small sporadic outbreaks in Asia. In 2007, the first major Zika virus epidemic occurred on the Micronesian island of Yap. Nearly 75% of the population was infected.
In 2014, a case of Zika virus transmission on Easter Island was reported by Chile. The virus was detectable from March until June, 2014.
Human Cases of Zika virus for 2015-2016 from the Pan American Health Organization.
In May of 2015, Brazil confirmed an outbreak of Zika virus in its northeast quadrant. According to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), in 2015 and 2016, the virus has spread to most of northern South America, Central America, the Caribbean and Mexico.
Since the Zika virus is not currently being spread by mosquitos in the US, it has become the hot spot for research on alternate means of spread, especially sexual transmission. While cases have been identified, it is still not clear how easily the virus spreads with this methods of transmission.
Symptoms of the Zika Virus
Zika virus infections can be without symptoms; however, symptoms usually begin 2-7 days after the bite of an infected mosquito. It commonly presents as mild fever with a skin rash (exanthema), often with eye irritation (conjunctivitis), muscle and joint pain, and general malaise. There is no association between the Zika virus and death. An increase in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) has been observed in areas where a Zika virus epidemic has been documented (e.g., in French Polynesia and Brazil).
Zika Virus Treatment
Blood tests can help to confirm the diagnosis. Some (virological PCR tests) are useful in the first 3-5 days after the onset of symptoms, while others (serological tests) detect the presence of antibodies but are useful only after five days.
Like most viral infections, there is no vaccine or specific treatment for Zika virus infection. Therefore, treatment for everyone, including pregnant women, is directed at alleviating symptoms such as fever and body aches. To prevent dehydration, it is recommended to control the fever, rest, and drink plenty of water.
Prevention is the best treatment available. Avoiding travel to regions with ongoing transmission is the best prevention, especially if you are pregnant. When this is not an option, precautions should be taken to avoid mosquito bites.
Since mosquitos spread the virus, prevention is directed toward control of the vector and prevention of mosquito bites. The Aedes mosquito bites mostly during the day. Long sleeves, mosquito nets and repellents can help, but repellents should not be used on children younger than two years of age. A more complete list of preventive measures is available on the CDC website.

That's the new CM changed. What does everyone think?
I didn't read anything about the new player loan system? More flexible loans should be possible with buy options etc as I heard?
Btw isn't anybody tempted to play and test the Chinese league in CM? I think about doing a fun CM within the Chinese league for myself. They've got huge transfer budgets and if they really implemented the new negotiations systems well it should be fun negotiating with big players. Money vs. fame..
That is all super encouraging. Like I've said before, I don't need a ton of new changes to career mode every year but they needed to fix and improve on things they have in place already and this all sounds like they addressed a ton of the ones I hated about 18.
I like the changes. I've always been a huge FIFA fan, even with its flaws. I never expect a perfect game but have always wanted better tactics and better transfers so these changes are perfect.
MLS is still underdeveloped in this game but it's still better represented than it ever has been.
The team at EA that does all the art deserves a lot of credit because they've singlehandedly sold the game to me. Probably wouldn't enjoy CM as much if it didnt look so good.
Some good improvements by the sound of it.
Do you know if FIFA 19 fixed the MLS playoff bracket back to 12 teams instead of 10? Thinking of skipping this version except the addition of LAFC has got me reconsidering, and if they fixed the playoff bracket.
According to this thread it has been fixed.
It sounds like as long as you promote to the PL you get the badge. So I would guess you'd be fine.
Maybe test it by moving a foreign club to the PL.
@Chris YES. The sleeves, like kit numbers and kit names are now instantly changeable. Depending on which league you play, the badges change accordingly (not just England, by the way).
An Asian CM could be an interesting option this year now there is an Asian CL.
Played a few hours today and loving the mechanics of the new game. Ball seems a bit heavy at times, but much more realistic than the last few years. Not sure how long it will last, as pace abusers and ping pong passers are going to HATE this current game.
On another note, I'm debating if I should start my story or wait for the full release. I've seen quite a few people say that notall the transfers have been correctly moved yet. Maybe I'll just use this for a test run and start with the full release next week.
The squad file came out last night UK time so if you use latest squads now it'll be fine.
Thanks, it would appear you are correct. Too bad they didn't add a quasi-champions league like they did for Asia or add some sort of MLS/Liga MX tournament to make playing MLS or Liga MX careers more interesting.
So I told a few of you I'd been working on something over the summer. Here it is. Still hoping to add some more Game Changers to the second post.
Cool to see MGH post on there, (Has over 750k subscribers I believe) he needs to push for improvements as he's one of the biggest Youtube career mode guys out there I think, hopefully EA guys look at that thread though.
Yeah, he's been really supportive of the idea. I've had emails/Twitter DMs with a few Game Changers and they have all been quite supportive. This is a key year for the mode so a single community wishlist with lots of responses could carry a lot of power. Hopefully that thread will be shared on Twitter/mentione din a few videos in the coming days.
If you think I missed any big names let me know and I'll get in contact (there are a few I'm waiting for a reply from but have tried to contact).
I've been thinking about this a bit the last few days and thought I'd get your guys input. I remember reading an article last year or the year before. It was a fifa designer talking about how they are actually working on fifas 2-3 years down the road already.
I watched extended highlights of the PSV-Ajax (3-0). I guess it's not enuogh to know what happened to Ajax, but I was surprised by the result.
I had the chance to watch PSV against Barcelona and I thought they are a very good team. The 4-0 at the UCL was excessive, in my opinion. I don't think they are a joy to watch, but their tactical work is very good for the style they play. In any case, opposed to Ajax, they've never been recognizible for "nice football". I still remember how they won their first and only European Cup with draws.
PSV have tactically good players at midfield and fast and efficent in the wings. Bergwijn and Lozano are fast and skillful... and Angeliño's runs from the back are to watch, I especially liked him.
De Jong is a fine striker, hard worker... as Barcelona takes the defensive line far from the goalkeeper, he struggled to do what he knows best, but if he's able to take down the ball, he gives air to the rest of the team.
The game was 1-0 until the 75'... and it was because Messi is a beast in free kicks. In the last minutes, they looked extremely tired, but Barcelona had around a 70% of ball possession and I guess that you can't be running behind the goal all the time.
As I said, despite the result, I thought they are a serious team and I think it won't be easy at their stadium.
Yesterday, watching the extended highlights, I confirmed some of these initial thoughts. They're vertical and they're in the good way, they don't need much to harm the rival. I must also say that Ajax looked extremely weak in defense... In their 2nd goal, De Jong was terrible.
I thought that the result could have even been worse for Ajax... except for Ziyech, who seem the only threat in attack, I saw practically nothing from Ajax in attack. A long distance shot at the first half and a clumsy situation in the 2nd.
Anyone has a bad day, but PSV seemed miles ahead Ajax... at least at this point of the season.
I watched extended highlights of the PSV-Ajax (3-0). I guess it's not enough to know what happened to Ajax, but I was surprised by the result.
Ajax was too slow and not daring enough, simple as that.
Plus PSV had 100% conversion: 3 targeted shots, 3 goals.
I guess tactically Erik ten Hag made some errors. A more flexible striker would have been useful, maybe as a false 9 - so Tadic instead of Huntelaar and maybe Labyad on the flank. And Frenkie de Jong as defender is okay against a weaker opponent, but here it would have been better to fit in Max Wöber or Perr Schuurs.
Ajax biggest flaw surfaced again: when plan A doesn't work well, there is no alternative. All substitutes were 1-on-1, not a shift in tactics or approach.
Ziyech was okay, as was Carel Eiting: not bad for a rookie. But Frenkie de Jong, Tagliafico, Schøne and Huntelaar all had a bad day.
It is something Luuk de Jong (PSV) said afterwards: "They (Ajax) have slightly better players, but we have a better gelled team". I guess that hits the nail on the head and not just last game; for quite a while now.
Anyhow, the season's most difficult game has been, we're five points down (again) but this time we have 28 games to make it up, instead of four. So we've taken a hit and now we punch back.


Today was a full driving day. We dropped by sister off at the airport and continued west on I90. We stopped in the Badlands and then also at Mount Rushmore. We stopped at a small gas station and then diner/grill in Chamberlain, South Dakota on our way. The drive through the Black Hills near the end of the day was one of the coolest drives of the trip.


This is a very well made shedding comb that works fantastic on my miniature pony. They have very dense thick fur (unlike a regular horse) and it works better than anything I have ever used. My pony loves it as well. It should be part of your grooming kit in the spring. Your pony will thank you.
This pulls the under coat out with ease. I like the fact that the hair falls off this comb vs you having to manually clean the hair out of it. Easy to use!!

Q: How to get timeseries from Django model by date and by foreign key? I have the following two models:
class Station(models.Model):
   # fields of station

class StationReading(models.Model):
   station = models.ForeignKey(Station)
   speed = models.FloatField()
   time = models.DateTimeField()

I want to build a timeseries dataset that each row is a unique time field, each column is an existing Station (by id) and the values are speed. My expected output:
|       Date      | Station_1 | Station_2 | etc...
|-----------------|-----------|-----------|
| < some date 1>  | <speed of |<speed of  |
|                 | station 1>| station 2>|
|-----------------|-----------|-----------|
| < some date 2>  | <speed of |<speed of  |
|                 | station 1>| station 2>|

Performance is important here, as I have millions of StationReading objects. Is this possible solely using Django queries?

In this contribution, we present our recent study on the electroweak response functions with realistic nuclear forces and discuss their relation to tensor correlations. The observed resonance energies and widths of the negative-parity levels are all in fair agreement with those calculated from both the spin-dipole and electric-dipole strength functions. Spin-dipole sum rules are discussed in relation to tensor correlations in the ground state of 4He. Possible observables are suggested to probe the tensor correlations.

Empire State University (also known as ESU) is a fictional university in the Marvel Comics Universe. It is located somewhere in New York City, in Greenwich Village near the site of New York University.[1] Many Marvel Comics characters, especially those associated with Spider-Man, have either attended or worked at the university. It first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #31 (December 1965).[2]

Fictional location[edit]
Depictions of the university's location have been vague, although maps published in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe depict the university as being near Washington Square Park, on or near the site of New York University. In the 2002 Chamber miniseries, the main character dorms in Empire State's Brittany Hall, the name of a real dorm at NYU.[1]
The novel The Venom Factor, by Diane Duane,[3] places the university in Greenwich Village, where NYU is located.
Notable fictional students[edit]
Empire State University has had so many superhumans associated with it that Tony Stark endowed a scholarship for "aliens, dimensional travelers, clones, independent machine intelligences and other students outside the norm".[4]
Peter Parker, also known as Spider-Man, studied physics at Empire State University after graduating high school.
Victor von Doom was invited to come from Latveria to study at Empire State, where he met Reed Richards. He was expelled after the accidental explosion that scarred his face.
Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, attended Empire State University. He was expelled and then sued after he accidentally burned part of a building down[5] while engaged in a battle with supervillains.
A young Emma Frost also attended ESU in her late teens.[6] She was there when an anti-mutant strike broke out.
Later, X-Man Chamber enrolled briefly at ESU in order to investigate a bombing that killed six people. Chamber's findings resulted in ESU closing their main mutant program, and creating a new human/mutant student exchange program with the Xavier Institute. The first participants of this program were Walter—Chamber's paraplegic, human dorm-mate—and Amber, a reptilian mutant student who assisted Chamber in his investigation.[7]
Eddie Brock, AKA Venom, attends Empire State University in the Ultimate Spider-Man series.
Flash Thompson, AKA Agent Venom in The Amazing Spider-Man series.

In other media[edit]
In Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, the university is sometimes shown as Empire State University and sometimes shown as Eastern State University.
In Spider-Man, Peter Parker is a college student and attends Empire State University, as does Debra Whitman and Michael Morbius. Also, Dr. Curt Connors is a professor there.
In Spider-Man: The New Animated Series, Peter Parker, Harry Osborn, and Mary Jane Watson are college students at Empire State University.

In Season 2, Miles Warren joins the scientific staff and becomes a professor just like in the comics.
Films[edit]
In the film Spider-Man 2, Peter Parker attends Columbia University and not ESU, but in Spider-Man: The New Animated Series, which is set in between the first two Spider-Man movies, he, Mary Jane and Harry attend ESU.
In Spider-Man 3, Robbie Robertson announces the Empire State Photographic Department had confirmed Eddie Brock's picture of Spider-Man assisting in a bank robbery while wearing the black suit was a forgery, after which Brock is fired on the spot.
Director Louis Leterrier wanted Bruce Banner to meet Samuel Sterns at Empire State University in The Incredible Hulk, but in the finished film, Sterns' place of teaching is named as Grayburn College in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database since Columbia Pictures, who owned the name as part of their rights to film Spider-Man, refused.[53] Grayburn College is also used in the 2010 show The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes as the college where Henry Pym, or Ant-Man, does his research. It is named in the first-season episode "The Ultron Imperative".
In the short film Item 47 on the Blu-ray bonus features of The Avengers, an Empire State University shirt can be seen worn by one of the characters.
In a deleted scene of The Amazing Spider-Man, Dr. Connors states that he has a doctorate from Empire State University.
In the film Spider-Man: Far From Home, Brad Davis is portrayed by Remy Hii as a classmate of Peter Parker.

In the Ultimate Spider-Man game university can be visited.
In The Incredible Hulk (2008), the subplot with Samuel Sterns at ESU is adapted from the film that the game is based on. Empire State University is also a marked location on the game's map screen, one of many that the player must destroy to earn certain collectible items.
Empire State University appears in Marvel: Avengers Alliance.
Empire State University appears in Marvel's Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

'We have a feeling of complete denial of justice': Family of Sophie Toscan du Plantier to continue fight for Ian Bailey extradition

THE family of Sophie Toscan du Plantier are pledging to carry their fight for the extradition of Ian Bailey to France to European courts.
Her brother Bertrand Bouniol and uncle Jean Pierre Gazeau were speaking to The Echo after it emerged in the High Court that the Irish State did not appeal the High Court decision not to surrender him to France, on October 12.
France had sought his extradition after he was found guilty, in his absence, of the murder of Ms du Plantier in west Cork in 1996.
Mr Gazeau said: "We cannot accept this, that Ian Bailey is being protected by a state of the EU. Ireland is part of the EU and there are very strong agreements in place in terms of judicial cooperation."
He welcomed the decision by the High Court to allow the family of Ms du Plantier access to the judgement made on October 12.
He added: "The son of Sophie is very disturbed by this news - we have a feeling of complete denial of justice".
He said the family and its legal team will now be considering their options regarding taking their fight to the European courts.
An angry Mr Bouniol said: "The Paris Court declared him (Mr Bailey) guilty of the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier and sentenced him to 25 years of criminal imprisonment. That the Irish justice refuses his extradition for the third time does not surprise us: the Irish judges do not want to back down and Ireland has no interest in a new trial being held in Paris in the presence of the convict."
He added: "The criminal court indeed has established the guilt of Ian Bailey while highlighting the shortcomings of an Irish investigation then overwhelmed by the horror of the crime committed."
He continued: "We take note that Ireland refuses to turn with dignity this sad page of its legal history, but our family no longer needs it to do so: our family has been recognized as a victim of the murder committed by Ian Bailey by the French court after an irreproachable trial. And the extradition of Ian Bailey does not affect the recognition that we have been waiting for decades."
Mr Bailey has always denied any involvement in the murder. He was arrested twice as part of the Garda investigation but was never charged.
The trial in Paris followed a probe by French investigators, who travelled to Ireland to interview witnesses who had been previously interviewed as part of the garda investigation into the killing.
Two previous attempts by the French to have Mr Bailey extradited were rejected by the Irish courts. Those attempts were prior to the French trial held in May 2019.

Just where did they get all those great ideas from? Take a dive into anime and learn the shocking conceptual origins of some of America's biggest and most striking feature films.
I didn't dislike Inception, but I'd take Lego Inception over regular ol' Inception any day of the week.
This mash-up of Return of the Jedi, Clone Wars, some of the music from Inception and Charlie Chaplin's end speech from The Great Dictator will blow your damn mind.
Behold, the fan-made trailer for "The Batman Complex," which posits Batman is a figment of a very thin and oddly Welsh Bruce Wayne's imagination.
Clearly, Ghostbusters would be a very different movie if it had the Inception soundtrack.
A lot of words about Inception and Chris Nolan, but at least there's a sale on the Tron: Legacy soundtrack.
God help me but this l want to see this movie about a billion times more than either Inception or Toy Story 3.
A new trailer for Chris Nolan's sci-fi movie Inception came out with Iron Man 2 this weekend, and… uh… here it is.
And please note that the movie is called Inception in America, and Incursion in France. This is not some conspiracy, and it's neither important nor interesting.

The sun was out and bright this morning so, of course, I didn't take photos of my layouts, I stayed inside painting the kitchen… now, when I'm taking a break, the sun's gone away again! So, sorry, bad photos coming up!
I love these sparkly gold Thickers, snaffled from Mum's stash (for some reason she wasn't that keen on them…) and I thought they'd give this layout about my cereal-stealing Austin a bit of extra glam.
Austin is the snuggliest cat, we spend a lot of time cuddled up together on the couch, so I asked Aaron to take a photo for me to scrapbook… so of course he took a photo of the two of us looking ridiculous! But, I figure, that's who we are, so I'll go with it!
As soon as I saw this paper I knew I had to scrap this photo with it, such a perfect colour match for my little lion cat!
