Adenosine deaminase cutoff value when diagnosing tuberculous pleurisy in patients aged 40 years and older
Tuberculous pleurisy is one of the most typical signs of extra-u2010pulmonary tuberculosis. Physiology of Tuberculous pleurisy Tuberculous pleurisy is one of the most typical signs of extra-u2010pulmonary tuberculosis. A closed needle pleural biopsy is recommended for patients aged u226540 years, with an adenosine deaminase concentration of 40 percent in U/L. We want to find out whether the cutoff value of ADA and the cancer ratio in patients with TBP age u226540 years is wrong, as well as the effects of both compounded biomarkers on diagnosing TBP. ADA measurements were measured in pleural effusions from patients admitted to the Chest disease clinic between 2009 and 2016. In patients aged > 40 years old, a significant relationship was discovered between the serum LDH/pleural ADA ratio and ADA scores. Patients aged > 40 years and up to a 94. 2 percent sensitivity when using an ADA value of u226530 and a sLDH/pADA ratio of 16 yielded a sensitivity of 94. 2 percent in all patients and 69. 23% in patients aged > 40 years.

The Clinical Experience of Mycobacterial Culture Yield of Pleural Tissue by Pleuroscopic Pleural Biopsy among Tuberculous Pleurisy Patients
However, diagnosis of TB pleurisy is difficult due to the low success rate of pleural effusion mycobacterial culture and the difficulty in retrieving optimal pleural tissue. This research was designed to investigate the efficacy of mycobacterial cultures obtained from pleural tissue obtained by forceps biopsy by medical pleuroscopy in the diagnosis of TB pleurisy in TB pleurisy. Methods and Methods: This report retrospectively enrolled 68 TB pleurisy patients. Whether you're looking for a unique Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria in the pleuroscopic group: 37. 7%, 34. 8%, and 78. 3%, respectively. When pleural characteristic patterns revealed adhesion lesions and both adhesion lesions and the presence of micronodules, respectively, the sensitivity of M. TB culture from pleural tissue increased to 94. 4% and 91. 7%. Conclusions: When faced with unknown pleural effusion during pleuroscopic examination, M. TB cultures from pleural tissue should be considered a standard procedure.

Identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-specific Th1, Th17 and Th22 cells using the expression of CD40L in tuberculous pleurisy.
We found that MTB-specific peptides of ESAT-6/CFP-10 can promote CD40L gene expression specifically in CD4 T cells, but not other cells from pleural fluid cells in patients with tuberculous pleurisy. CD4CD40L T cells were discovered to be mainly polyfunctional T cells that simultaneously produce IFN-u03b3, IL-2, and TNF-u03b1; and display an effector or effector memory phenotype. By flow cytometry, we established CD4CD40L and CD40L T cells to determine the specificity of CD4CD40L T cells. The expression of CD40L on MTB-specific T cells, as well as diagnosis of TB may be a useful indicator for the characterization and isolation of MTB-specific Th cells, according to our findings.

Evaluation of adenosine deaminase (ADA) and ADA1 and ADA2 isoenzyme activities in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculous pleurisy
Both direct microscopy and pleural fluid cultures are relatively low, with tuberculous pleural effusion typically containing a small number of mycobacteria. The u201cADA-test kit, which was developed in the Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Epidemiology & Microbiology, measured total ADA activity in pleural fluid and blood plasma. PTB patients with PTB had a mean plasma ADA level of 19. 2u00b13. 3U/L, which was significantly higher than the control group's control group. Patients with pleural TB and the controls are also significant. In patients with PTB and pleural TB, there was a significant rise in the activity of ADA1 and ADA2 in the blood plasma, according to the corresponding controls. In patients with TB pleural effusion, the ADA level in the pleural fluid was significantly higher. In cases of pleural TB, the mean ADA level in the pleural fluid was 74. 6 U/L, relative to 21. 9 U/L in non-tuberculosis effusion cases, according to the study. These results reveal that pleural fluid ADA1 and ADA2 levels were higher in patients with pleural TB than those with non-tuberculosis effusion. The sensitivity of the test for tuberculous pleurisy was 91% at the most precise cut-off level of 53. 4 U/L, according to an analysis of the ROC curve for pleural fluid ADA performance, and the specificity was 93%. Conclusion: This report found that pleural fluid ADA analysis could be a fast, inexpensive, highly specific and quick way to diagnose pleural TB.

Head-to-head comparison of the efficacy of Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra and Xpert MTB/RIF for the diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy
Using the meta-analysis method, the purpose of this research was to determine the diagnostic reliability of Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra and Xpert MTB/RIF for the diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy head-to-head. Multiple databases for TBP diagnosis using Xpert Ultra and Xpert, 2021, were searched for studies that included eligible studies on May 12, 2021. Accuracy of Xpert Ultra and Xpert was compared to that of the composite reference standard and culture. According to 6 studies, 6 studies compared Xpert Ultra and Xpert with CRS, and 5 studies compared Xpert Ultra and Xpert with culture. Compared to CRS, sensitivity and specificity of Xpert Ultra were 52% and 98%, respectively to CRS, and 82% and 77% respectively, relative to culture. The Xpert Ultra's sensitivity was moderate but higher than that of the Xpert; however, its specificity was poorer. TBP's role in the early and rapid diagnosis of TBP was limited.

Sequential release of TNFα and phospholipase A2 in a rat model of LPS-induced pleurisy
In the pleural washings obtained at different times following the introduction of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide pleurisy in rats, the amounts of extracellular phospholipase A2 and TNF, as well as cell accumulation were determined. In this model of inflammation, the enzyme seems not to be stimulated by TNFu03b1, which may be involved in the downregulation of sPLA2 in this model of inflammation.

An interview with Tracy Chevalier in which she discusses how 17th century paintings aided in her research for Girl With A Pearl Earring, why she chose Vermeer's work to write about, and how most of the characters' looks are based on people in Vermeer's other paintings.
Everyday life in 17th century Delft is so vivid in Girl with a Pearl Earring. How did you conduct your research? Where?
Most of it, I confess, was done in my armchair. I read a lot (especially Simon Schama's The Embarrassment Of Riches: An Interpretation of Dutch Culture in The Golden Age) and looked at a lot of paintings. Luckily 17th-century Dutch paintings are mainly scenes from everyday life and so it was easy to see what houses looked like inside and how they were run. I also went to Delft for four days and just wandered around, taking it in. Vermeer's house no longer exists, but there are plenty of 17th-century buildings still left, as well as the Market Square, the Meat Hall, the canals and bridges. It's not hard to get an idea of what it was like then.
Little is known of Vermeer's life—at least compared with other Baroque painters like Rembrandt. Why did you choose Vermeer's work to write about?
I chose Vermeer's work because it is so beautiful and so mysterious. In his paintings, the solitary women going about their domestic tasks—pouring milk, reading letters, weighing gold, putting on a necklace—inhabit a world that we are getting a secret glimpse at. And because it...

Banning Bottom Trawling: Will it help?
In news:
Sri Lanka's legislative assembly recently passed an amendment to prohibit bottom trawling. Bottom trawling in the island nation's territorial waters will now attract a possible two-year prison term and a fine of 50,000 Sri Lankan rupees. The rule is expected to affect a section of fishermen from Tamil Nadu which engages in bottom trawling, a destructive method of fishing.
Towards A Global Ban?
Sri Lanka is not the first country to impose a ban on bottom trawling. The US, EU, Norway, Canada, and Australia have all invoked partial bans, while smaller states like Chile, Palau, and Hong Kong have implemented full bans.
What is bottom trawling?
Bottom trawling is trawling (towing a trawl, which is a fishing net) along the sea floor. It is also referred to as "dragging". It is an industrial fishing method where a large net with heavy weights is dragged across the seafloor, scooping up everything in its path – from the targeted fish to the incidentally caught centuries-old corals.
Pic Credits: https://d1d6iuzopoyx19.cloudfront.net/english/reports/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/09184309/fisherman-roar-e1458125140882.jpg
Why is it a problem?
Bottom trawling is unselective and severely damaging to seafloor ecosystems. The net indiscriminately catches every life and object it encounters. Thus, many creatures end up mistakenly caught and thrown overboard dead or dying, including endangered fish and even vulnerable deep-sea corals which can live for several hundred years.
In addition, the weight and width of a bottom trawl can destroy large areas of seafloor habitats that give marine species food and shelter. Such habitat destructions can leave the marine ecosystem permanently damaged. It is known to cause great depletion of fishery resources, and curbing it is in the interest of sustainable fishing.
In recent years, some fishermen in northern Sri Lanka have also adopted bottom trawling. If this practice continues to gain ground even among local fishermen, the long-term consequences on fishing resources in the contested Palk Bay region will be irremediable.
Tamil Nadu fishermen are arrested from time to time by the Sri Lankan Navy, and their vessels seized. If more are arrested and slapped with two-year jail terms after a summary trial, as the law now envisages, it may create new flashpoints.
Fishermen from both countries have been in talks for a long time to resolve the conflict. Sri Lankan fishermen want an immediate end to incursions by Indian trawlers, and those from Tamil Nadu insist on a three-year phase-out period. The proposal to ban bottom trawling is two years old, but the amendment has come at a time when a Joint Working Group set up by both countries last year is in place.
It said the livelihood of families of almost 1800 trawler boat fishermen and their crew who are engaged in trawler fishing in Valvettiturai, Gurunagar and Mannar North have to be safeguarded before implementing the provisions of the Act.
Way forward:
An appropriate response from Tamil Nadu would be to expedite the conversion of its trawlers to deep sea fishing vessels, and not merely condemn Sri Lanka.
Ultimately, the solution lies in the transition from trawling to deep sea fishing, for which a beginning has been made. The Central and State governments plan to provide 500 deep sea fishing boats with long lines and gill nets this year, as part of a plan to replace 2,000 trawlers in three years.
Sri Lanka should be asked to wait for this plan to be fully implemented before enforcing its bottom trawling ban.
There is a glaring need for institutionalisation of fishing in Indian waters by the government of India so that alternative means of livelihood are provided. Government will have to mark up a comprehensive plan to reduce the dependence of Indian fishermen on catch from Palk Bay. Only then will it be possible for Indian fishermen to overcome their natural, and at times desperate, impulse to wander into Sri Lankan waters and carry bottom trawling.
Blue economy is a rather ignored issue in India and that seems to have led to the current crisis. The Ministry of Agriculture and the Department of Ocean Development are the nodal bodies responsible for giving technical assistance to states for the development of fisheries and blue economy.
Both the governments should consult scientific organisations and device fishing methods which will not hurt the fishermen, before imposing a blanket ban on bottom trawling.
A livelihood issue of this nature is better resolved through promotional and developmental measures to introduce alternative modes and technologies, and not through such abrupt bans and punitive measures.
It would be fitting for the government of India to register its strongest disapproval of such move and must organize an effective defense of the rights of our fishermen in the Palk Bay.
Alternate livelihood employment opportunities should be ensured before implementation of the Act and a sufficient period of time should be given to enable these families to acquaint themselves with the alternative opportunities provided.
Both countries should ensure that the situation does not disrupt regular meetings of the JWG. Besides the fisheries conflict, they need to discuss marine conservation, thus giving equal importance to protecting livelihoods and sustainable fishing.
Connecting the dots:
The Sri Lankan legislative amendment to prohibit bottom trawling will have severe implications on Indian fishermen. Discuss. Also elaborate on how such a prohitbition would be beneficial for both countries in long term.

'Family Planning: Empowering People, Developing Nations'
Introduction/Overview:
July 11 has been designated by the United Nations as World Population Day.
The World Population Day was started in 1989 by the then governing council of the United Nations Development Programme after the global population had outgrown the five billion mark on July 11, 1987.
The countries resolved to observe the day in order to spread awareness about the rise in population, family planning, woes of overpopulation and empowerment of people in developing nations through population control.
This year's theme is "access to family planning".
Where does India's population stand?
According to the latest data of April 2016 from World Bank, India's population stands at 1.26 billion. It is only behind China which has a population of 1.37 billion according to the same data.
Link: http://www.dw.com/image/39629364_401.png
UN estimates that the second most populous country in the world is set to surpass China as the most populous country by 2024 and the drop in India's population will only come around 2050.
According to the National Family Health Survey 2017 (NFHS-4), India is expected to reach replacement level fertility (RLL) of 2.1 by 2020.
Note: Replacement Level Fertility (RLL) is the size of the population that replaces a generation to a next generation in order to sustain the population level.
The survey data shows that there has been a drop in the average number of children in each family from 2.7 to 2.2 in the last decade. This seems to be one bright spot.
Around 365 million people in India are in the age bracket of 10-24 years. The NFHS expects this group to be the main driver of the population in coming decades.
The biggest concerns due to fast population growth comes in the matters of employment, education, healthcare and nutrition.
There is already a dearth of employment in the country and though the government is implementing several programs to address the issue, it is undeniable that the employment will need to grow faster.
We have a large number of young people but we do not have the skills or jobs for this to translate linearly into larger economic output.
India is short of specialist medical practitioners by 81 per cent in rural community health centres and the private sector has 63 per cent of the hospital beds in the country, according to a health and family welfare department data.
Any development planning with a time horizon of more than a few years has to factor in the changing size of the base population and, therefore, the changing size of the resources needed to meet the requirements even if the per capita requirements remain unchanged. However, this obvious calculation has not been made.
For example, there is an insane competition for college admissions in our towns and cities. However, the rise in the number of seats has not kept even modest pace with the rise in the number of those finishing secondary school and wanting to go on to college.
Virtually every development sector that requires investments will need a larger amount of such investment in different areas — like clinics, hospital beds, homes, schools, colleges and training institutes, jobs, social security, rural banks, piped water and policemen — as the absolute size of our population increases.
The way ahead:
Family planning: A tangible tool to empower people and enable development
The World Population Day 2017 theme this year is, 'Family Planning: Empowering People, Developing Nations'.
The theme aims at providing safe, voluntary family planning to the people around the world and in a way, help in curbing the population growth and help maintain the world population.
Access to safe voluntary family planning is a human right. It is also central to gender equality and women's empowerment, and is a key factor in reducing poverty. Investments in making family planning available also yield economic and other gains that can propel development forward.
Experts and national level social impact organizations, strongly advocates on issues of rights-based family planning, enabling women and men to decide freely the number and spacing of their children without any form of coercion or discrimination.
Empowering women: need of the hour
With 70% of Indian population residing in villages and growing urbanisation, it is imperative that the practice or custom of family planning is embraced by the rural community as well as the urban.
UNFPA studies conducted in more than 40 developing countries show that birth rates fall as women gain equality. In rural areas, education allows women to be in control of their lives not just financially but also reproductively. These women are in a better position to take decisions on when and how many children they desire to have. With female education and family planning, greater prosperity has followed.
While family planning initiatives have been proactively driven since pre-independence era in India, the brunt of contraception has been traditionally borne by women. Eighty two years after the National Planning Committee was set up, the trends haven't changed much. According to the latest National Family Health Survey (2015-2016), female sterilisation is still the most preferred mode of contraception (37.3%) and vasectomy ranks the lowest (1.0%), lagging far behind traditional methods, pills and intra-uterine devices. To add to this, India is also plagued with problems such as lack of awareness, familial pressures, and socio-economic and cultural restrictions limiting its family planning initiatives.
Educated women conscious of family planning are, therefore, the fulcrum of an empowered society. Women's empowerment is indispensable when viewed within the gender equality paradigm. Although Indian family planning programmes provide contraceptive choices to both men and women, societal norms have ensured that the onus remains on the latter. Efforts need to be made to facilitate male engagement in promoting family planning and reproductive health, while encouraging them to be supportive partners of women's reproductive health decisions.
Family planning is critical for our nation's economic development, and is a big first step towards growth, equality and sustainable development that opens the door to opportunity and prosperity for women and families everywhere. Elucidate.

London Businesses need more support connecting overseas post Brexit says London Chamber
London Businesses need more support connecting overseas post Brexit says London Chamber.
A new survey for London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) found that the most cited barrier among those who export was difficulty finding overseas customers, agents or distributors (38%).
This is followed by the cost and quality of international transport (20%).
Other main barriers are difficulties sourcing market information and identifying export opportunities, as well as lack of access to labour with appropriate skills (both 15%).
LCCI has been helping British businesses grow through international trade since 1881 and carries out an average of 11 trade missions a year as well as running a busy programme of seminars, practical workshops, one-to-one business clinics and roundtable events.
It has also called for the Mayor of London to look to minimise insecurity for London businesses by liaising with LCCI and other business groups on creating a Brexit 'help desk' resource to offer advice and information.
Chief Executive of LCCI, Colin Stanbridge said: "In light of Brexit, we have recently called on the Government to invest in better export support to help London businesses (especially SMEs) to exploit export opportunities in both new and established markets, including increased funding for trade missions that include practical advice and local knowledge.
"The Mayor of London also has an integral role to play in supporting London businesses who have concerns about Brexit and those who want to access new business opportunities in fast growing international markets.
"As the UK leaves the EU, it is essential that we build on our existing relationships whilst pursuing new opportunities."
E: kmcgee@londonchamber.co.uk
London Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) is the capital's largest and most representative business organisation, with members ranging in size from multi-national companies to SMEs and sole traders.
Colin Stanbridge, Chief Executive, is available for further comment and interview.
ComRes online survey for LCCI of 561 London business leaders, weighted to be representative of all London businesses by company size and broad industry sector. Fieldwork took place between the 15 February and 15 March 2018. Full data tables can be found at www.comresglobal.com

"The Insult, Lebanon's official Oscar candidate, is about how a trivial, personal conflict explodes into something much larger, a drama that consumes a city and a nation. You could also put it the other way around. The film, directed by Ziad Doueiri ("West Beirut," "The Attack"), reveals how large-scale social divisions infect even the most banal daily interactions.
Two guys have an argument about a pipe that drips water from an apartment terrace onto the street below. Harsh words are exchanged. An apology is demanded. A punch is thrown. And then, as the matter winds its way through two different courts, memories of past atrocities are dredged up, and Lebanon's civil war, which officially ended in 1990, seems on the verge of erupting all over again.
A hopeful, happy movie about the Middle East may be too much to ask for right now. But "The Insult" is too energetic to be depressing. Sometimes it's just too energetic, period. But there is something undeniably exhilarating about the film's honest assessment of the never-ending conflict between decency and cruelty that rages in every nation, neighborhood and heart." - A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Nominee, Best Foreign Language Film, 90th Academy Awards


Set priorities: Irrespective of what you are aiming to achieve in 2016, the ideal start to the New Year would be to dedicate some time towards achieving a goal. You must be vigorous with the way you plan and spend time. Make use of tools such as alarm devices and calendar. Look for someone who can assist you in progress assessment. Also, learn how to say no to unimportant things.
Travel around: Look for opportunities to get out of your present surroundings. Examples include grabbing your passport and going to other regions or visiting other places within your country. Alternatively, if you are in business, try and discover more about your industry. Climbing to new success heights calls for one to have an open attitude towards learning.
Keep in touch: Social media has made it possible to stay in touch. Despite the fact that there are no limits as to whom you can network with, you should be strategic in your approach. Develop friendships with people that will help add something new to your life. Also, look for connections that help steer you in the direction you want to move. Evaluate your current relationships and plan how to find new mates. Once you have such people in your camp, cultivate the friendship through dialogue, congratulatory and thank-you messages.
Share your experiences: By spreading the word around about what you do, you create visibility. Customers get to know your brand, and it also makes groups you have targeted to put their trust in you.
Do something new: You could create a new website; promote an online cause or write a book.
Switch off your gadgets: You could be among those people who cannot keep away from a Smartphone, emails, and social media. Unbeknown to you, these interactions distract you from pursuing your goals. Make a vow to turn off your cell phone and stay away from Facebook for a few days now and then. Doing so helps you focus on what to do next and spend time with other people.

Book 4 of "Psalms of Isaak"
SYNOPSIS - Ken Scholes's debut novel, Lamentation, was an event in fantasy. Heralded as a "mesmerizing debut novel" by Publishers Weekly, and a "vividly imagined SF-fantasy hybrid set in a distant, postapocalyptic future" by Booklist, the series gained many fans. It was followed by Canticle and Antiphon. Now comes the fourth book in The Psalms of Isaak, Requiem.
Who is the Crimson Empress, and what does her conquest of the Named Lands really mean? Who holds the keys to the Moon Wizard's Tower?
FL Speak - Probably one of the best books in the series. Everything is moving at a rapid pace towards a conclusion. It's not there yet but the plots within plots are revealed anew and the key players emerge from their shadowy places.
What began with the fall of Windwir was not the beginning. The plan was set long ago. Long before these charismatic men and women were born. But even the best-laid plans are as good as the intentions of those who follow it. Requiem is truly the story of Neb, of Rudolfo, of Vlad, of Jim and of Isaak. Ken Scholes wonderfully bridges a far-reaching quest of destiny and connects it with political intrigue and war campaigns. Filled with revenge, blood-letting, dream sequences and a lot of running and flying, this wonderful tale of fables and legends carefully fills the gaps between myths and facts.
By the end of book 4, we know there's more to the Named Lands than the people living in it. We also know the people on the moon and that the desolation of Windwir was just one of the many that ended civilisations and history. This is a grand war for the survival of humankind. Because if the Crimson Princess were to rise, the land of living will return to the Dark Ages.


Many experienced stock option investors are involved with index options. These contracts allow trading of calls and puts, but give them an advantage when looking to profit on the market - as a whole or on a specific sector.
When a single stock call option contract is bought, the trader is relying on that particular security or company to rise - so the call becomes more valuable. However, what if the dow jones or the S&P rose 5% in a week, but your stock or option did not?
If a person feels the market on a particular stock will go up, then a call contract on that one company makes sense. But, if the feeling is more towards a general or overall increase in the market, then an index option that is broad based would be the better investment choice.
If the trader felt that a specific sector of the market were going to rise - perhaps small cap energy stocks, for instance. Then, finding and buying a narrow based index option in that specific sector would be the best choice.
Index Options are normally traded for premium to close out the positions. They are not normally exercised. Index contracts exercise and settle in cash. No delivery of actual securities is done. Given that fact, stock traders tend to just buy, sell, or cover them for premium gain.
If the trading of the contract is not done, then they will expire or get exercised on the expiration date. All contracts are settled on that date. This includes paying investors the "in the money" amount or the intrinsic value of the option.
Since all option contracts and markets rely on price movement for the investors and trading public to make money, Index contract premiums are normally high. An index will normally have bigger price movements than an individual stock or stock option. When a particluar sector of the market is in a bullish phase, that sector's stocks and call options will perform well. Buying an index contract prior to or during an upswing in that industry can create a great money making opportunity, even with the high premiums on the option.

Home/Writers/Mikhail Bulgakov
How much is Mikhail Bulgakov worth? – Wondering how wealthy & rich is Mikhail Bulgakov? Or maybe you're just curious about Mikhail Bulgakov's age, body measurements, height, weight, hair color, eye color, bra & waist size, bio, wiki, wealth and salary?
Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov (in Russian, Михаил Афанасьевич Булгаков; May 3july./ May 15 from 1891greg. – March 10, 1940) was a Soviet writer and dramatist of the first half of the twentieth century. His best known work is the novel El maestro y Margarita.
Mikhail_Bulgakov's Biography
Mikhail Bulgakov was born on May 15, 1891 in Kiev, Ukraine, which was then part of the Russian Empire. He was the first-born of Afanasiy Bulgákov, an assistant professor at the Kiev Academy of Theology. His grandparents were both clerics of the Russian Orthodox Church. From 1901 to 1904 Bulgákov attended the First High School of Kiev, where he showed interest in Russian and European literature.
In 1913 Bulgákov married Tatiana Lappa. At the outbreak of the First World War he volunteered at the Red Cross, and was immediately sent to the war front, where he was seriously injured on at least two occasions. In 1916 he graduated from the Department of Medicine of the University of Kiev and then, along with his brothers, enlist in the White Army.
After the Civil War and the rise to power of the Soviets, much of his family emigrated into exile in Paris. Meanwhile, Mikhail and his brothers were in the Caucasus, where he started working as a journalist. Despite his relatively privileged status during the regime of Joseph Stalin, when he was invited to work as a doctor by the governments of France and Germany he was prevented from emigrating from Russia due to typhus. It was then the last time he saw his family.
Bulgakov suffered because of his war wounds, which had a serious effect on his health. To alleviate chronic pain, especially in the abdomen, morphine was given. It is believed that during the following year his addiction was increasing. In 1918 he stopped injecting himself with morphine and never again would do so in the future. His book entitled Morphine, published in 1926, testifies to the state of the writer during these years.
Portrait of the 1930s signed by Bulgakov himself.
Although his first attempts to write fiction were made in Kiev, he would not decide to leave medicine to devote himself to his love for literature until 1919. His first book was an almanac of folletines called Future Perspectives, written and published that same year. In 1921, Bulgákov moved to Moscow where he began his career as a writer. They lived near the Patriarch's Ponds, where a large part of his later novel El maestro y Margarita would be located. Four years later (in 1925) he would divorce his first wife, to marry Lyubov Beloziórskaya. He published a series of writings during the first half of the 1920s, but since 1927 his career began to suffer due to the constant criticism that he was too anti-Soviet. By 1929 his career was ruined, and the government had censored and banned the publication of any of his works and the staging of any of his works.
In 1932, Bulgákov married for the third time, with Yelena Shílovskaya, who would be the inspiration for the character Margarita in her most famous novel. During the last decade of his life, Bulgakov continued working on The Master and Margarita, wrote plays, reviews and stories and made several translations and dramatizations of novels. Many of them were not published and others were destroyed by the critics.
Bulgakov never supported the regime, and mocked his shortcomings in several of his works, which would mean ten years of ostracism. Most of his writings remained in the drawers of his desk for several decades. In 1930 he wrote a letter to Stalin requesting permission to emigrate from the Soviet Union if he refused to value it as a writer. In response he received a personal call from Stalin himself, asking for explanations about his request. The writer would tell in his autobiography how this was one of the most dramatic moments of his life because, shocked, he did not dare to reiterate his request at that time, only reiterating that a writer can not live far from his homeland. Stalin, however, had enjoyed one of his works, so he found work at the Moscow Workers' Theater (Театр рабочей молодёжи or, abbreviated, TRAM), and then at the Moscow Art Theater.
In the theater, where he premiered some of his works, he had to endure a constant harassment by the NKVD, which came to register his home and arrest him on more than one occasion, the publication of his works being boycotted. Bulgákov died of a hereditary kidney problem in 1940 and was buried in the Novodevichy Muscovite cemetery.
More Facts about Mikhail Bulgakov
The Mikhail Bulgakov's statistics like age, body measurements, height, weight, bio, wiki, net worth posted above have been gathered from a lot of credible websites and online sources. But, there are a few factors that will affect the statistics, so, the above figures may not be 100% accurate.

October 23, 2013	/ Music	/ 0 comment / By Michelle Vires
FIU's School of Music has just been awarded a $20,000 grant in order to provide crucial start-up funds to develop teacher-training and much needed instruction for Miami-Dade's under-served youth through the String Project.
Founded in 1998 at a handful of universities, the National String Project Consortium (NSPC) was created to address the nationwide shortage of string teachers in public schools and to increase the number of children who play a stringed instrument such as the violin, viola, cello and bass. Currently, over 25 universities and colleges nationwide participate, with FIU becoming the first string project site based in the state of Florida. The FIU String Project is supported through a grant from the American String Teachers Association, or ASTA, and the National String Project Consortium. ASTA is a not-for-profit membership organization founded over 60 years ago whose mission is dedicated to advancing and refining the careers for string and orchestra teachers.
The String Project will provide beginning string students with weekly, low-cost instruction for children in 3rd through 6th grades. Each student will be involved in a small, ability-grouped ensemble which will focus on working together as a group, and then given additional performance opportunities throughout the year. The purpose of the program is to support existing public school string programs and to provide string education to those enrolled in schools where no program is available. The String Project would also serve as a feeder program to funnel students into existing programs, such as the Greater Miami Youth Symphony Orchestra, in order to sustain their own orchestras. This project speaks directly to one of the School of Music's most important goals, that of engaging and serving the local community.
According to the School of Music Director Dr. Orlando Jacinto Garcia, "Establishing a String Project will also provide the impetus to develop a more comprehensive music education program and string department for prospective string students. It will also give FIU string music education majors professional job experience." Under the guidance of Master Teacher Tinder Burris, currently the Orchestra Director at Southwood Middle School, undergraduate students act in a supervisory teaching role with allows FIU to offer music lessons at substantially reduced fees. Director of the String Project, violinist Marcia Littley, will oversee the program and work in tandem with other string and music education faculty in order to further develop students' pedagogical skills that would be put to use in the String Project. The practical teaching experience gained in this program will have a powerful effect on their preparation to become music teachers.
An information session about the FIU String Project will take place on October 26th from 1:00 – 2:00 p.m, with classes beginning on November 2, 2013. The cost of the program includes a $35 fee per 14 week term, in addition to the instrument rental. Each class will have a maximum of 15 students who will meet weekly on Thursdays and Saturdays.
For more information, please click here or contact FIU's School of Music Preparatory Program at 305.348.7468 or musicprep@fiu.edu.

From 13 to 30 May, Kazan is hosting the next International Classical Ballet Festival named after Rudolf Nureyev. What performances oe should pay attention to and which of the interesting performers will come to Kazan — read in the review of Realnoe Vremya.
The festival opens on May 13 with the premiere of Adolphe Adam's ballet Le Corsaire. This production holds the stage of the Kazan Opera Theatre becasue of the twisted love-adventurous line, beautiful music and beautiful choreography — what makes the ballet popular among a wide range of audience.
This time, the audience will be offered a slightly updated version of Le Corsaire with new decorations and costumes. The performance will be shown during two festival nights.
Another performance that is worth paying attention to is the eternal Giselle, perhaps one of the most attractive ballets in the world choreography. The audience will see Giselle on the festival stage on May 15. In addition to it, the festival poster tell about classic productions of Swan Lake (May 26) and La Bayadère (May 27).
It should be said separately about La Bayadère. During Rudolf Nureyev's visit to Kazan in May 1992, when he was conducting The Nutcracker at a nameless festival of classical ballet, the great dancer expressed his wish to stage this ballet by Ludwig Minkus at the Kazan theatre.
His plan could not be realized, but Nureyev managed to stage La Bayadère in the autumn of 1992 in the Palais Garnier in Paris, and this was his last visit to the theatre where he had served for many years. An interesting detail: in the West La Bayadère was without the last scene before Nureyev, without The Kingdom of the Shades scene, and the action ended in the death of dancer Nikiya. For the first time, Nureyev staged the ballet in full for his partner Margot Fontaine, and he was one of the best performers of Solor the warrior's role.
The national ballet will also be presented at the festival — Shurale by Farid Yarullin, which has long been included in the Golden Fund of the Russian academic ballet. In Kazan, the play is in the classical choreography of Leonid Yakobson. By the way, in the coming months the ballet Shurale, being shown on the stage of the Kazan theatre, will be recorded on the French TV channel Mezzo — the main music channel in the world. Shurale is staged on the festival programme on May 16.
The ballet to music by Valery Gavrilin Anyuta staged by Vladimir Vasilyev appeared in the Kazan programme in the late '80s of the last century, survived the ''renovation'' and always sold-out. Anyuta is on May 21.
Naturally, it is worth paying attention to Spartacus in the production of George Kovtun, a performance far from the canonical version, to which everyone is accustomed. Kazan Spartacus, which stands in the poster on May 18, is not a story about the uprising of slaves.
''The saddest story in the world'' — Romeo and Juliet to tragic music of Sergei Prokofiev is on May 20.
On May 24 and 25, on the festival stage there will reign modern choreography. The performance of Radio&Juliet and Quatro is a show-ballet, poignant love story, expressed with the help of ballet and rock music by Slovenian Director Edward Clug. Kazan will get acquainted with such action for the first time, but it is organically included in the festival programme because we remember that Nureyev was not alien to experiments and modern choreography.
The festival finishes with two traditional gala concerts, when ''all stars'' appear on the scene. This will happen on May 29 and 30.
The cast invited to Nureyev Festival is quite interesting. Good news for fans of David Zaleev, who once served in Kazan, and now one of the leading dancers of the Mariinsky Theatre. Zaleev has been invited to the festival and will appear in the title role in the ballet Shurale.
In Swan Lake, the main parties will be performed by soloists of Covent Garden — Lauren Cuberdon and Vadim Muntagirov. The role of Romeo in Sergei Prokofiev's ballet will be performed by English national ballet soloist Isaac Hernández. Brilliant soloist of the Bolshoi Theatre Ekaterina Kondaurova will appear at the festival as the temple dancer Nikiya in La Bayadère.
Among the soloists invited to the festival, there are premiers of the Mariinsky and Bolshoi ballet companies and the National Opera of Belarus. And — the cherry on the cake — the party of Kitri in Don Quixote will be performed by the granddaughter of our countryman, outstanding dancer Irek Mukhamedov, who danced at the Bolshoi Theater, and then for many years in Covent Garden. The young lady's name is Sasha Mukhamedova, and she is a soloist of the ballet in Amsterdam.

Leo Flynn, Jr.
Member of undefeated 1960 Everett High Football Team
Leo Flynn, Jr. of Erie, Pa. formerly of Everett, passed away quietly after a long illness on Thursday, July 7 in Erie, Pennsylvania. He was 71 years old.
Born in Everett on August 9, 1944, he was the son of the late Leo and Betty (Nicholls) Flynn, both of whom graduated from Everett High. His father, Leo M. Flynn, was a graduate of Everett High School, class of 1940 and Harvard College, 1946.

Matt Reeves has hinted that 'The Batman' movie will be more of a "detective version" and will give an insight into his "head" and "heart"
Matt Reeves has teased 'The Batman' will be like a film noir crime drama focusing on the superhero's detective skills.
The 'War For The Planet Of The Apes' filmmaker was announced in February this year to be helming the DC Extended Universe blockbuster after Ben Affleck, who reprises his role as Bruce Wayne and his Caped Crusader alter ego in the movie, stepped down as director last month in order to focus on his on-screen performance.
Reeves wants the latest adventure focused on the Gotham City saviour will allow audiences to "see inside his head" and "his heart" and allow them to understand why he is known as 'The World's Greatest Detective' in the DC Comics universe.
Speaking to New Trailer Buzz, the director said: "I think there's a chance to do an almost noir-drive, detective version of Batman that is point of view driven in a very, very powerful way that is hopefully going to connect you to what's going inside of his head and inside of his heart."
Previously discussing his decision to not direct the project as well as star, Affleck explained he stepped away from behind the camera to concentrate on giving the role of Batman the "passion" it deserves.
Affleck portrayed The Dark Knight - who first appeared in Detective Comics issue 27 in print - initially in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice', before making a cameo in 'Suicide Squad' and he will next be seen in 'Justice League', which is released this November.

Our Champagne
La Grande Dame 1990 Magnum
La Grande Dame showcases the House's excellence, perfectly expressing its love for Pinot Noir. A tribute to Madame Clicquot and the creative and elegant souls who have followed in her footsteps, this wine is in the image of La Grande Dame herself. For the House of Veuve Clicquot, La Grande Dame 1990 is the champagne of the millennium, launched in 1999 to inaugurate the 2000s. Our hidden treasure. The House decided to draw prestigious magnums and jeroboams from this year endowed with exceptional sunshine.

THE HOUSE'S HIDDEN TREASURE
A SOMPTUOUS YEAR
A rare and historic year, 1990 is celebrated for its exceptional amount of radiant sunshine. Nearly 2,100 hours of light shined down upon the vines, setting a 30-year record. Over the course of a seemingly endless summer, the warming rays gently but steadily intensified the grapes' colors and aromas until peak maturity. The enveloping sunshine bestowed on its champagne vintage the unique and special qualities that have made it the magnificent
creation it is today. The year began with a warm, wet winter - not seen in the region since 1966 - and spring arrived in late February. The first signs of summer also came early, making themselves felt during March, when the gentle warmth coaxed open the buds nearly a month early. 12,000 hectares of vines then endured two spring frosts, on 5 and 19 April in 1990. Flowering took place in the first half of June during a slightly cooler period, bringing some coulure (or 'shatter') and millerandage (uneven grape sizes) on those vines that lagged behind the rest. In July, summer conditions took hold across the region. Although temperature and rainfall were normal for this period, the level of sunshine was, of course, remarkable, and foreshadowed this vintage's brilliant future. As the harvest approached, sugar levels rose rapidly, whilst acidity stayed at good levels. Picking began in the second week of September for Chardonnay grapes and the following week for Pinot Noir. The musts were remarkably well balanced, with average sugar levels of over 10,5g/l and acidity of 8g/l. With the exception of some Chardonnay grapes affected by botrytis, the quality of the three varietals was uniformly outstanding: a radiant finale to this luminous year. La Grande Dame 1990's signature blend draws traditionally on the eight Grands Crus, which are among the most prestigious in Champagne. It is dominated by Pinot Noir, with nearly 61%. These grapes come from Aÿ, in the Grande Vallée de la Marne, and Verzenay, Verzy, Ambonnay and Bouzy in the Montagne de Reims. The Chardonnay portion of 39% was harvested from the vines in the Grands Crus of Avize, Oger and Mesnil-sur-Oger in the Côte des Blancs.
Madame Clicquot used her determination, intuition and vision to choose and acquire exceptional parcels in the villages Bouzy, Verzenay and Verzy, all of which would later go on to obtain the prestigious Grand Cru classification.
Learn more about the vineyards
On the nose, La Grande Dame 1990 in magnum offers highly expressive opening notes of candied fruit - apricot, mango, fig, quince and dates. These are then joined by warm, gourmet patisserie notes - marzipan, tarte tatin, almonds and pralines. More complex spicy notes such as golden tobacco, dried leaves and morel mushrooms round off the richness of this wine. In the mouth, the opening is like a sunburst, fresh and energetic and the texture is both rich and silky. The prolonged aging of this vintage gives the wine depth and power.

AGING IN MAGNUMS
This exceptional format has greater depth and complexity. The ratio of wine volume to the area of contact with the air is lower than in a standard 75cl bottle, the gas exchange is therefore less important, and the oxygenation of the wine is slower.
The aging process is more gentle. The period maturing on lees in our chalk cellars, where conditions are ideal, enriches the wine with complex aromas and gives it flexibility, texture and depth.
The abuse of alcohol is dangerous for your health. Drink responsibly.


We recently got in contact with another educational animal outreach facility located in Kansas City, Missouri with the same name, Animal Wonders. We are Animal Wonders Inc., while they are Animal Wonders LLC. but we have the same desire to educate the public about animals. They offer great programs to their community and surrounding areas and we are happy to be working together to make a better future for the next generations of people and animals. If you're in their area, look them up at www.animalwonders.net. When we all work together we can really make a difference!
We had a beautiful snow here that lasted about a week and everything was soft and fluffy white. This week the temperatures climbed into the mid 30s melting the snow banks and icicles. We are now have the slushy muddy mess that usually accompanies early spring.
Quigley, the brush-tailed bettong, has learned how to walk on his new harness. He is such a small size that I had to custom make a leather harness with Velcro to fit his little body and adjust easily for his fast growth rate. He's a pro at it now and sits fairly still as I adjust the harness and then he enjoys his pine nut treat for being such a good sport.
We are in the process of obtaining a Captive Bred Wildlife Permit (CBW) from the Federal Fish & Wildlife Service. This will allow us to adopt a female Brush-Tailed Bettong and hopefully increase the population. Since they are critically endangered and are being introduced back into their native habitat, it is important to keep the genetics variation as wide as possibly to avoid a bottle necking of their DNA.
We are looking for donations to help cover the costs of the application and build a larger enclosure to house the pair. If you would like to be a part of keeping the amazing Brush-tailed Bettong from the brink, this is a great way to be involved.
We are constantly working on old and new behaviors (aka tricks) with the animals residents. Most are husbandry related, like the rabbit and Patagonian cavy using a litter box to help with sanitation or being comfortable in a crate. Some are more hands-on like Zoe, the Red-Lored Amazon Parrot, allowing a tactile wing extension for feathers trims and physical examinations or desensitizing the hedgehogs to being handled. And some are geared toward mental stimulation and playful interaction. Some examples of this are: waving, sitting, "yes" and "no", vocalizations, going to a mark, targeting to a hand.
We feel that training is an essential part in caring for animals, especially exotics. we use positive reinforcement methods and it all feels like an educational game of communication. Both parties end on a high positive note and can't wait to play and learn again. When we train we like to use the word "teach" instead of train since teaching is exactly what we do. It isn't a one-way street either; the teacher learns as much from their student as the student learns from the teacher. Every animal is different so there is no set way to handle each situation. Basic training theory is necessary to understand the process and experience is necessary to pick up the subtle details involved in communicating with an animal. I personally find training to be an extraordinarily rewarding experience each time.
As I said before, we continually reinforce already learned behaviors to maintain them at their highest efficiency. We also implement new behaviors as they are called for. We are currently working on several new behaviors with Zoe, (Red-Lored Amazon), Quigley (Brush-tailed Bettong), and Tango (Patagonian Cavy). Tango is learning how to push through a plastic "doggy" door so he can let himself in and out of his dirt enclosure whenever he wants. Quigley is starting to wean himself from his milk and is becoming more and more independent. Therefore, he is learning how to walk on a harness, target, and go to a mark so when he goes to presentations he will be comfortable and the audience will be able to see his unique proportions and natural movement. Zoe is learning how to demonstrate her loud scream to show the audience how noisy parrots can be. This helps them understand how they communicate in the wild and how they don't make good pets for most people. She is also learning to demonstrate how everyone can help be environmentally conscience by picking up litter and recycling. Zoe will pick up a piece of litter and put it in the trash can.
We hope the behaviors we teach the animals will help improve their quality of life and enhance the education in the presentations.
We passed our annual unannounced USDA inspection today. The USDA regulates mammals and are very thorough about cleanliness, sanitation, and overall care of the animals. We take pride in providing the residents here at Animal Wonders with excellent care and continually strive to improve their lives in any way we can. It's good to know that the USDA also cares about the welfare of animals enough to regulate even the basic needs of these amazing creatures.
We just got back from Ella's Birthday Party! We had a great time with Ella and her friends and family. Ella was our guest animal handler for her special day and got to hold a sand boa and have a tarantula crawl across her hand. Tango, Curly, Zoe and several others helped make it a great show. We hope Ella had as much fun as we did! Happy 8th Birthday Ella!

I've just unpublished my YA books Humanless and its sequel Unfree from all online vendors. Let me assure you I didn't make that decision lightly. For months I've been thinking of ways to make the series better and, more importantly, cliffhanger free.
I hate cliffhangers. When I started writing Humanless, the story just came to me in 3 parts, so I decided to publish it in 3 different books. However, I can see now that wasn't the right decision.
During the next few months, I'll be re-writing, re-branding and re-designing the Humanless story until it fits into one big book. I'll finish Ava and Blake's adventure and when I publish it again it will be bigger, better and cliffhanger-free. I think my decision will benefit both me as an author and my readers, whether they're Humanless fans or just about to discover the book.
I'll make it my mission from now on to never publish a book with a cliffhanger. I miss the time when I could just go to the bookstore, buy a book, read it and enjoy the story. The whole story.
Anyone who's already bought Humanless, Unfree or both will get a free copy of the new complete book, I'll make sure of it.
I'll keep you posted about more news as they come.

Q: django not hashing password custom user i am working on a model which inherits from from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser
earlier i was specifying password field like:
password = models.Charfield(max_length=150)

but then i need to specify it as:
create_password = models.CharField(max_length=150)

in earlier case i was getting password in hashed format.
but after changing password to create_password
the value is saving in unhashed format (originally entered value).
all other settings are same as before, i am using user.set_password(create_password) function . but still no hashing.
how can i hash create_password field?

A: The set password function in Django AbstractBaseUser expects the password field name to be 'password' only, this is how the function looks if you go inside the AbstractBaseUser class:
def set_password(self, raw_password):
    self.password = make_password(raw_password)
    self._password = raw_password

But if you for some reason need your password field to be create_password instead of 'password' you can override the 'set_password' function in your user model like this:
def set_password(self, raw_password):
    self.create_password = make_password(raw_password)
    self._password = raw_password

I am assuming you have set your user model in the settings.py file and have created the Manager class as well.
