Transient Global Amnesia is a topic covered in the 5-Minute Clinical Consult.
Transient global amnesia (TGA), first described in 1956, is a clinical syndrome characterized by sudden onset of marked reduction of anterograde and milder reduction of retrograde episodic long-term memory that lasts up to 24 hours (1).
Patient may have persistent vegetative symptoms (such as headaches, nausea, dizziness) and subclinical neuropsychological deficit lasting for days. Patient presents along with reduced executive functions.
Common risk factors that may have confounding effect like cardiovascular risk factors, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension (HTN), atrial fibrillation has been studied and ruled out permitting to properly differentiated from transient ischemic attacks (TIAs).
TGA is not a rare entity as its incidence ranges from 10 to 32/100,000 per year among the age group 50 to 70 years (3).
In an observational study, it occurred more in men than in women with a potential precipitating cause found in 50% of the cases.
Regarding neuroanatomy: There are two areas of focus regarding memory and memory-guided behaviors which are hippocampal region and cortical hippocampal circuits (represented by posterior medial region network in temporal cortex and anterior temporal network).
It has been proposed that fragility and vulnerability of neurons located in cornu ammonis (CA1) area to metabolic stress (due to cytotoxic glutaminergic uptake or release) represents main landmark in pathophysiology leading to hippocampal function impairment (1). This largely represents watershed area in the brain (2).
Prior CVA has been associated in 11% of cases in retrospective studies.

San Diego State University is now offering an advanced certificate program in Web and Mobile Application Development which prepares students for success in this exciting and ever-changing industry. This program, currently available as a blend of classroom and online instruction, will be launched as a completely online certificate beginning in fall, 2011.
"The key strengths for this course were the first hand experiences gained through projects."
With over 5 billion cell phones in use today, the web and mobile technologies that run these phones has given rise to exploding employment opportunities in a new career field that didn't even exist just a few years ago. This wide spread cell phone industry not only creates jobs and enhanced communication; but it can also be used to save lives through such applications as emergency notifications broadcast to cell phones and emergency callers pinpointed through GPS.
This dynamic, high-demand industry has led to the creation of a new San Diego State University advanced certificate program in Web and Mobile Application Development. SDSU's Department of Computer Science, in partnership with the College of Extended Studies, teamed up to offer this program, which prepares students for success in this exciting and ever-changing industry. This program, currently available as a blend of classroom and online instruction, will be launched as a completely online certificate beginning in fall, 2011.
According to the current edition of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook, computer software engineers "are among the occupations projected to grow the fastest and add the most new jobs…with more than 295,000 anticipated jobs to be created between 2008-18." This translates to a 34 percent increase in computer software engineers in the next decade.
Mobile applications developers are in such high demand that employers have contacted SDSU's faculty directly about students who recently completed the program, or are about to graduate. "Employers are calling to ask about our program's students … one was even waiting outside the classroom to offer my students jobs," said Roger Whitney, an associate professor who teaches courses in Mobile Applications Development and Emerging Web and Mobile Technologies.
In the SDSU program, students study and gain experience with the languages and frameworks that are most commonly used in developing web and mobile applications with the design of user interfaces and software systems, as well as associated topics such as networking, hosting infrastructure, and security. They also learn the fundamental principles on which these topics are based, so that they will be prepared for the new technologies that are constantly being developed.
Students develop fully functional online stores in the course Advanced Web Application Development, and create iPhone or iPad applications in the course Mobile Application Development. Student projects in these courses emphasize real-world skills development valued in today's job market. One such project created as an iPhone application focused on giving mothers the ability to track their baby's weight, height, immunizations, and other medical information.
"The key strengths for this course were the first hand experiences gained through projects," said Christopher Scott Rice, about the Intro to Web Application Development class. Discussion boards, chats, blogs, and other interactive online technologies will allow online students to engage with the program's instructors and other students.
The Advanced Certificate in Web and Mobile Application Development is an advanced academic certificate at the post-baccalaureate level, and admission requirements include a Bachelor's degree in computer science or a closely related field. Students with an equivalent knowledge of the background materials acquired through work or self-study may be accepted into this program based on a review by the program director.
Three courses will be offered each fall and spring semester, so the certificate can be completed in as little as two semesters.

July 2019 Wrap Up
An abbreviated wrap up this month my friends – I am just about to disappear on holiday for a couple of weeks so am madly packing and making sure we have everything. I'll share some of our adventures during my August wrap up or follow me on Instagram to see what I'm up to!
Bookish Events
I went to Brighton Waterstones earlier this month to listen to local author Dorothy Koomson speak about her latest book Tell Me Your Secret and Louise Candlish talk about her book Those People. I've read a lot of Dorothy's books so I was a little bit star struck to meet her. And I met Louise once before at the Guildford Book Festival (she remembered the unusual way I spell my name!) Both books sounded excellent so of course I bought them both!
I managed 9 books in July – more than I thought before I just added them up. It hasn't been a particularly busy month but work is always hectic before a holiday. I have enjoyed a few reading sessions (and naps) in the sun though! Favourites were Sweet Sorrow by David Nicholls, The Girl He Used to Know by Tracey Garvis Graves and Looker by Laura Sims.
The To-Do List and Other Debacles by Amy Jones
How not to be good? Let me list the ways…
Are you a woman? Do you make to-do lists to stop you losing your mind? Have you ever cried in the toilets at work, had a meltdown in the supermarket, or gone off the rails at a hen party?
And have you ever been saved from any of the above by your truly brilliant friends?
If you've answered 'yes' to any of these questions, then this is the book for you. A moving, funny and brutally honest memoir of one woman's millennial misadventures, The To-Do List and Other Debacles follows Amy Jones on her journeys through friendship, marriage and mental health disasters in a story that's as relatable as it is riotous.

The Last Stage by Louise Voss
A violent and horrific incident forces a young woman to go into hiding, at the peak of her career as lead singer of an indie pop band. Years later, strange things start to happen and it becomes clear that some know who she is…
At the peak of her career as lead singer of a legendary 1980s indie band, Meredith Vincent was driven off the international stage by a horrific incident. Now living a quiet existence in a cottage on the grounds of an old stately home, she has put her past behind her and come to terms with her new life.
When a body is found in the manicured gardens of her home, and a series of inexplicable and unsettling events begins to occur, it becomes clear that someone is watching, someone who knows who she is … Someone who wants vengeance.
And this is only the beginning…
A dark, riveting and chilling psychological thriller, The Last Stage is also a study of secrets and obsessions, where innocent acts can have the most terrifying consequences.

The Perfect Mother by Aimee Molloy
They call themselves the May Mothers—a collection of new moms who gave birth in the same month. Twice a week, with strollers in tow, they get together in Prospect Park, seeking refuge from the isolation of new motherhood; sharing the fears, joys, and anxieties of their new child-centred lives.
When the group's members agree to meet for drinks at a hip local bar, they have in mind a casual evening of fun, a brief break from their daily routine. But on this sultry Fourth of July night during the hottest summer in Brooklyn's history, something goes terrifyingly wrong: one of the babies is abducted from his crib. Winnie, a single mom, was reluctant to leave six-week-old Midas with a babysitter, but the May Mothers insisted that everything would be fine. Now Midas is missing, the police are asking disturbing questions, and Winnie's very private life has become fodder for a ravenous media.
Though none of the other members in the group are close to the reserved Winnie, three of them will go to increasingly risky lengths to help her find her son. And as the police bungle the investigation and the media begin to scrutinize the mothers in the days that follow, damaging secrets are exposed, marriages are tested, and friendships are formed and fractured.

Five Steps to Happy by Ella Dove
When struggling actress Heidi has a life-changing accident aged 32, her world falls apart. Stuck in hospital and unable to walk, her only companion is Maud, the elderly lady in the bed next to hers. Heidi misses her flatmate, her life, her freedom – surely 32 is too young to be an amputee?
But when Maud's aloof but attractive grandson Jack pays a visit to the ward, Heidi realises that her life isn't over just because it's different. It might not look like the life she dreamed of, but it's the one she's got – and there's a lot she still wants to tick off her bucket list. With Jack at her side, will Heidi take the first step back to happiness? Or is there one more surprise still in store…?

Looker by Laura Sims
In this taut and thrilling debut, an unravelling woman, unhappily childless and recently separated, becomes fixated on her neighbour—the actress. The unnamed narrator can't help noticing with wry irony that, though she and the actress live just a few doors apart, a chasm of professional success and personal fulfilment lies between them. The actress, a celebrity with her face on the side of every bus, shares a gleaming brownstone with her handsome husband and their three adorable children, while the narrator, working in a dead-end job, lives in a run-down, three-story walk-up with her ex-husband's cat.
When an interaction with the actress at the annual block party takes a disastrous turn, what began as an innocent preoccupation spirals quickly, and lethally, into a frightening and irretrievable madness. Searing and darkly witty, Looker is enormously entertaining—at once a propulsive Hitchcockian thriller and a fearlessly original portrait of the perils of envy.

Sweet Sorrow by David Nicholls
One life-changing summer
Charlie meets Fran…
In 1997, Charlie Lewis is the kind of boy you don't remember in the school photograph. His exams have not gone well. At home he is looking after his father, when surely it should be the other way round, and if he thinks about the future at all, it is with a kind of dread.
Then Fran Fisher bursts into his life and despite himself, Charlie begins to hope.
But if Charlie wants to be with Fran, he must take on a challenge that could lose him the respect of his friends and require him to become a different person. He must join the Company. And if the Company sounds like a cult, the truth is even more appalling.
The price of hope, it seems, is Shakespeare.
Poignant, funny, enchanting, devastating, Sweet Sorrow is a tragicomedy about the rocky path to adulthood and the confusion of family life, a celebration of the reviving power of friendship and that brief, searing explosion of first love that can only be looked at directly after it has burned out.

Celestial Bodies by Jokha Alharthi
Celestial Bodies is set in the village of al-Awafi in Oman, where we encounter three sisters: Mayya, who marries Abdallah after a heartbreak; Asma, who marries from a sense of duty; and Khawla who rejects all offers while waiting for her beloved, who has emigrated to Canada. These three women and their families witness Oman evolve from a traditional, slave-owning society slowly redefining itself after the colonial era, to the crossroads of its complex present. Elegantly structured and taut, Celestial Bodies is a coiled spring of a novel, telling of Oman's coming-of-age through the prism of one family's losses and loves.

The Girl He Used to Know by Tracey Garvis Graves
Annika (rhymes with Monica) Rose is an English major at the University of Illinois. Anxious in social situations where she finds most people's behaviour confusing, she'd rather be surrounded by the order and discipline of books or the quiet solitude of playing chess.
Jonathan Hoffman joined the chess club and lost his first game–and his heart–to the shy and awkward, yet brilliant and beautiful Annika. He admires her ability to be true to herself, quirks and all, and accepts the challenges involved in pursuing a relationship with her. Jonathan and Annika bring out the best in each other, finding the confidence and courage within themselves to plan a future together. What follows is a tumultuous yet tender love affair that withstands everything except the unforeseen tragedy that forces them apart, shattering their connection and leaving them to navigate their lives alone.
Now, a decade later, fate reunites Annika and Jonathan in Chicago. She's living the life she wanted as a librarian. He's a Wall Street whiz, recovering from a divorce and seeking a fresh start. The attraction and strong feelings they once shared are instantly rekindled, but until they confront the fears and anxieties that drove them apart, their second chance will end before it truly begins.

Life Lessons From Remarkable Women – Various
Stylist magazine has asked that question of remarkable women from the worlds of entertainment, politics, sport and fashion. With honesty, wit and a serious no-BS attitude, their lessons address the challenges every woman faces today, from climbing the career ladder and finding inner fulfilment, to forging authentic relationships and overcoming life's setbacks.
Each of these impressive women, including actress Romola Garai and comedian Francesca Martinez, has a tale to tell and an experience to share. Empowering, engaging and unapologetically impassioned, their incisive observations will make you think, reflect – and kick serious ass. These are life lessons for women, by women.
How did I get it? I received a gifted copy from Penguin Life last year.
A pretty quiet month all in all. My oldest son did a week of work experience helping out speech therapists in different settings in the local area. It's not a field he is interested in especially (the school seemed to match kids with work experience randomly) but he did enjoy the variety. He is keen to study Psychology at university so we need to start looking into it as he could potentially be going this time next year!
My youngest son went on a residential with school where they camp and do lots of fun adventure activities. For the first time ever he came back from a trip in a good mood! We had a bit of scare with him a couple of weeks ago where he fell and hurt his arm – luckily it was just badly bruised and not broken as he would have missed out on the pool on our hols!
I love cooking programmes, especially MasterChef so when 2018 winner Kenny Tutt opened a restaurant near my home town, me and my best friend had to try it out. The restaurant is called Pitch and we had to wait several weeks for a table! After a few cocktails we ate some delicious food – I had the fish on a bed of warm tartare sauce followed by breakfast milk panna cotta.
I was so gushy that the staff let me hold the MasterChef trophy!
I really hope to go back one day soon!
Thanks for reading my ramblings! I'm expecting to be a little less active on social media for some of August so I hope you have a good month and I'll be back soon!

Invasive lionfish predators impact on coral reefs
New model predicts impact of invasive lionfish predators on coral reefs
Marine biologists uncover clues about what makes invasive lionfish such effective predators on reefs in the Atlantic and Caribbean.
By Katie Willis on June 6, 2019

A new model is providing insight into the impact of invasive lionfish on coral reefs in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea. The venomous predatory fish has invaded more than 7.3 million square kilometres in the Atlantic and Caribbean, wreaking havoc among native fish populations.
The method, developed and tested with coral reef fish in the Bahamas through an international collaboration of scientists in Canada, the United States, and United Kingdom, is based on the behaviours used by prey to avoid being eaten by predators that use different hunting tactics.
"Many scientists have speculated that invasive lionfish are so successful in the Atlantic because prey don't recognize them as a predator," explained Stephanie Green, assistant professor in the University of Alberta's Department of Biological Sciences and lead author.

"However, we found that reef fish enter the 'danger zone'—close enough to be eaten—around invasive lionfish at similar rates to native predators. But for those prey that stray too close to lionfish, they are up to twice as likely to be captured than by predators that are naturally found on Caribbean reefs."
The ranges of many predators are expected to grow, due to climate change and future invasions. The new method is designed to help both scientists and conservationists better understand how predators select their prey. In the case of lionfish, the scientists' hope the model can help them identify areas where native species are most vulnerable to the novel stalking hunting strategy of lionfish as the invasion spreads.
"As invasions take hold, scientists have few tools to help them predict what the effects will be,and as a result, we often don't understand how invasive predators have changed environments until it is too late," added Mark Hixon, professor at the University of Hawai'i and co-author of the study.
The authors hope their approach can be used by researchers in the Mediterranean who are keen to understand which kinds of fishes and fisheries there will be most affected by the recent invasion of lionfish in this region. Green is also adapting the model to examine predator-prey interactions for albacore tuna with respect to climate change. "We hope that using knowledge of species behaviours can help scientists and managers predict who will eat whom when predators and prey encounter one another in new settings," added Green, who is also a Sloan Research Fellow.
The paper, "Trait-mediated foraging drives patterns of selective predation by native and invasive coral-reef fishes," is published in Ecosphere (doi: 10.1002/ecs2.27520).

5,000 patients' medical records may have been accessed between April 2012 and April 2013.
Virginia's Bon Secours Hampton Roads Health System recently announced the firing of two nursing assistants for improperly accessing patients' medical records (h/t PHIprivacy.net).
According to a statement from the health system, the information improperly accessed included one or more of the following: names, birthdates, dates and times of service, provider and facility names, hospital medical record and account numbers (which may have included Social Security numbers), and treatment information.
The Daily Press' Prue Salasky reports that 5,000 patients' medical records may have been accessed between April 2012 and April 2013.
PHIprivacy.net notes that previous insider breaches at Bon Secours include three separate incidents of theft of patient information for use in fraud, which were disclosed in September 2008, February 2009 and October 2012.
All potentially affected patients are being offered free identity protection from Kroll Advisory Solutions, and advised to call (866) 599-7347 with any questions.

Q: Solving the inequalities $-3 \leq x^3 - 8x \leq 3$. Can someone give me a hint on how to find $x \in \mathbb{R}$ such that
$$-3 \leq x^3 - 8x \leq 3?$$
Thank you!

A: You could sketch the graph $y=x^3-8x = x(x^2-8)$ and look at values of $x$ such that the graph is between $y=-3$ and $y=3$.

A: Equality holds for $x=3$ and $x=-3$
Now the derivative of the function $x^3-8x$ is $3x^2-8$
Check when the derivative is positive and when it is negative(function increasing or decreasing) and draw the graph accordingly, you will get your solution!
Or you may basically solve two equations
$x^3-8x-3\leq0$ and $x^3-8x+3\geq0$
Also you know that $x-3$ is a factor of the first and $x+3$ is a factor of the second, so you are left with two quadratics and you can easily know when they are less than $0$ and when they are greater than $0$, so can you get the set of solutions for both the equations and take their intersection to get the final ans!!

Stendhal best buy?
Discussion in 'Euro Horror' started by domper9, Jul 11, 2001.
domper9 Guest
There has been some discussion on this forum some time ago about Dario Argento's Stendhal Syndrome.
The two decent versions out there seem to be the Troma release, which has a director's commentary and that's important to me, and a Dutch Filmworks release.
Somebody here preferred the second one and I wonder why. Apparantly, there's a version out there that has a documentary, "D.A.'s World of Horror" or something, on it. Does anybody own that DVD? Could you tell me what that documentary is about, how long it is and if you prefer it over director's commentary?
thx a bunch,
domper9, Jul 11, 2001
dotgain37 Guest
IIRC, there's no commentary by Argento on the Troma disc. One was planned, but never recorded. And the fact that it's a Troma release should be enough to scare any self respecting Argento fan (who's capable of playing R2-discs ) away...
I'd go for the DFW release any day. Quality wise it's fine, not great, but it serves it's purpose. The documentary on Argento (Dario Argento's World Of Horror, by Michele Soavi) is a real gem for the price of the disc (about $25). Synapse has released DA's WOH on a disc of it's own for about $30.
The 70 minute documentary features what you can expect (interviews, behind the scenes, etc.) and it's pretty fun to watch. On the down side: It was recorded back in '85, so it feels a bit dated and (obviously) none of Argento's later films are featured. It's presented in full frame and the A/V quality isn't very good. But since you get both a decent release of Stendhal and WOH for less than the Synapse disc, why complain?

I must have stumbled on a site that still listed the commentary as an extra. I just checked the Troma site and you're right, no Dario commentary. They got one from the FX guy Sergio Stivaletti instead. Thanks for saving me from a HUGE dissapointment.
(remembering Dario's english, maybe it's a good thing... )
I'll go for the DFW then.
I've only just begun collecting DVD's. Why would any "self respecting fan" not buy Troma discs? Notoriously bad quality or do you just hate the Troma merchandising on it?
Werner Von Wallenrod Guest
The Troma disc is pretty good... Uncut, widescreen (though not, I understand, matted 100% correctly) The Stivaletti bit is an interview, though, not an running commentary. There's also an Argento interview (and a second one, hidden as an easter egg), and, curiously, an interview with Ruggero Deodato about Cannibal Holocaust. ...Plus the usual Troma extras, which, like 'em or otherwise, can't be accused of detracting from the DVD. I don't think very many people watched the Julie Strain rap more than once, but what the hey.
World of Argento (aka Argento's World of Horror) is a good documentary that's been around a long time (there's a sequel, by Cozzi that updates it), but it's not such a great extra for many Argento fans, who've obviously already got it.
If you haven't got World of Argento (and don't want to spring for both the Troma disc AND the World of Argento disc), I think it's kind of a close call. I dunno. I can't play R2, so it was never an issue for me.

domper9,
I'm not exactly a fan of Troma. They've got a couple of not-so-bad DVD releases, where Stendhal is one of them. But most of their DVD's has a real quick-n-dirty feel to them. Don't get me started on their flicks. Just not my kind of humor...
I think it's kinda ironic that Argento, who's pretty much all about style, has a film released by a company like Troma. Lenzi's Nightmare City would have made a better match.
OTOH, I'd probably sit here with the Troma disc if I didn't have an R2 compatible player...

Best place to get the Dutch Filmworks version is Free Record Shop. They also have Italian Shock titles including New York Ripper shipped to the US for about US$14 (I started a thread in General forum a couple of days ago).
I have bought stuff from them several times, and had no problems. They do answer emails too.

After stepping to the plate for My Dinner With Andre, way back when, Troma has shown a pretty odd capacity for doing justice in the film world (even if the movies they make themselves are a different story). Argento's not much of a surprise after that.

Avoid the Troma disc at all costs - it has fake letterboxing to cheat you into thinking it is the right aspect size - it isnt - it is a fullscreen version with black bars put on top and bottom.
The discs to buy are either the french DVD - the best picture quality but unremovable french subtitles and no extras - or the dutch dvd with the documentary and removable subs but sligtly worse picture quality (but still very good)

DFW all the way. The troma disc is pretty bad and what makes it worse is the introduction by Kaufman, he really irks me.
Is that true about the crop boxing? That sucks; I didn't realize...
(You can skip the Kaufman intro, though, y'know)
kaufman was not even wearing a clean shirt(it looked like had trouble drinking some coffie or Dr. Pepper) in his so called one on one(from new york to rome) interview with argento if only i could burn over all the troma shit on the disc it would be all right for the 13.99 i paid for it( even the titties(in the trivia) don't make up for the other LAME troma shit,trailers,ect.its a damn shame.
Troma stuff
I don't see why it upsets you so much... It's not like you have to watch it.
Andrew Guest
Uh oh
Is the Troma disc that bad? I've never seen this movie and was planning on ordering it within the next few weeks. Should I save my $15?
Andrew, Jul 14, 2001
its a shame to have troma and argento on the same disc and dont forget about ron jeremy in one of the troma trailers( im sure every male over the age of 18 has ron jeremy in his "other" non cheesy ass troma films" talk about gore.


Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach, and you'll get where you want to go.
When I first thought of an outreach project to help the impoverished children of the Philippines it was nothing more than a lofty dream. Three months ago meeting my goal of raising $3,000 seemed like an impossibility. Tomorrow I am on my way to Philippines to personally distribute food, school supplies and basic neccessities to the children living there.
I am grateful for all of you who stepped up, supported and believed in this cause. To my friends, colleagues, acquaintances and everyone else, through all your collective energy we gathered clothing, school supplies and exceeded my monetary goal, raising over $4000 so far. Thank you all for your generosity, love, friendship and support. My adventures are your adventures. What we will accomplish on this trip will impact the lives of many children. The weakest and the most helpless in our world can only depend on your goodwill.
As the world becomes a smaller place with technological advances, we become more aware of the well-being of our neighbors around the world. It is up to us to decide whether we choose to try to help our neighbors. Human nature is not the problem; it's giving back to human nature that's the challenge.
Thank you for joining in my commitment to give these children a real shot of the future, a sense of pride, dignity and an opportunty for a better life one with love and education at the forefront so they don't have it so hard.

Just when Dolce & Gabbana looked like they were going down in history as the greatest embarrassment in the Italian fashion world, someone in the Gucci headquarters decided to top their effort. Between the end of 2018 and the early 2019, Italian fashion brands woke up to the uneasy realisation that they have a racism problem. How and when did this start? How did this issue manage to stay under the radar for so long, at a time when identity politics are centre-stage pretty much everywhere else? And, most importantly, what will the fashion industry do about it?
In case you have been lucky enough to live under a rock for the past year or so, here's a quick recap of the two racism scandals that have inflamed the Italian fashion industry over the past few months. In November 2018, Dolce & Gabbana released a commercial targeted on the Chinese market. The video was so eye-wateringly racist and sexist that we decided not to share it in this post. We are sharing instead the cringe-making apology video that the two Italian designers were forced to make after their sales dropped spectacularly on one of the largest and richest markets of the world.
As a result, the most predictable wave of outrage in fashion history ensued, the item was taken off the market before it had the time to become a signature garment of the alt-right, and the inevitable official apology followed. Gucci also announced they were going to make amends, by taking action against racism within the company, working with a team of experts on inclusion and diversity and composed by 90% people of color.
There is one aspect of this incredibly thorny and awkward situation that is often left out of the debate: the fundamental difference in the stage of the debate on race issues and identity politics in different Countries. While racism is a global problem, and it is equally devastating in all societies, its specific expressions vary, depending on each Country's history. The concept of blackface, for instance, is a hot issue in the United States, because of the history of this practice and the relevance it acquired in the current political debate (as Virginia Governor Ralph Northam knows all too well). American audiences, however, would be puzzled and probably horrified to learn that the term is mostly unheard of in Italian mainstream culture. The original practice trickled into the Italian media in the early days of television, as a watered down version of itself, to an audience that had virtually no experience of the kind of multi-ethnic society that had developed in the US. And while to a modern sensibility it is instinctively obvious that blackface is wrong, the more complex, historical details of the problem are lost on most non-American audiences, in the same way as specific national or regional issues with inclusion and diversity might be obscure and unintelligible for American ones.
Are we suggesting that the person who designed the turtleneck did not see it as racist? Absolutely not. Or rather, the process is so complex that we have no proof of the designer's intentions either way, but that is not the point. The point is that a whole team of executives thought it was a good idea to release that garment on the market. Gucci is not a family-led artisan workshop in a small town in Tuscany, it is a multinational brand with stores and headquarters all-over the world. It has no excuse for racism or cultural deafness. After the design was created, somewhere along the line, from production to marketing, from social media managers to executive assistants that caught a glimpse of it on someone's desk, someone should have spoken up. They didn't. Is it because they were all white? Is it because none of them was American and had any idea what blackface was in the first place? Or is it because the company is organised in a way that doesn't allow this kind of warning to be heard, even if it is issued? Only the Gucci management can answer that. So far, CEO Marco Bizzarri hasn't gone into the specific of how it happened, but he has committed to do better in the future and started working with designer Dapper Dan to make the brand more inclusive.
Gucci's first four initiatives in a long-term plan of actions designed to further embed cultural diversity and awareness in the company.


It's been a "nose in a book" week. Several weeks actually. Books on proper paper; not ebooks which can wait till Kingdom come or the next visit to the dentist. The pile of "yet to be finished" titles by the bed and on the table by the sofa was a reproach that had to be tackled: some had been started so long ago the beginning was forgotten. I never mastered speed reading, and am a slow reader, if not quite mouthing the words; and at 77 it takes considerably longer to finish a book, let alone retaining the contents. Oh if only I could remember everything I have ever read!
"What a fount of knowledge! How witty and clever she is," they would say admiringly. Exasperating to have forgotten so much.
The books lent by friends must be finished first and returned before you forget who lent them. Top of the pile, and one from which to wring every last drop, is A Late Beginner by Priscilla Napier (1966). This is an hilarious, wistful, insightful view of life in Cairo particularly, but also Home, before and during the first War. Nanny, dusting the French railway carriage before allowing her little charges to sit in it, is one of many unforgettable incidents even my crumpled brain will retain. Feel the heat, see the landscape and revel in the extended family – a rich assortment of aunts, uncles and numerous cousins.
We try not to buy books due to lack of space. One hard-liner I know gives a book away every time anybody gives her one, but I've broken this rule because A Late Beginner is a classic, will take years to appear as an ebook, and there are least six people I'd like to lend it to.
What's your policy on lending books, DVD's and the like? A Sultry Month by Alethea Hayter (1965) is a case in point. I have hunted it down and bought it at least three times. It's a book you lend with enthusiasm because you want people to share in it, and then find it goes walkabout. Subtitled Scenes of London Literary Life in 1846, the author spreads before the reader an absorbing and intimate glimpse into the lives of the likes of Keats, Carlyle and other literary lions, during one particular month. The background and central figure of the book is the tragic figure of the painter Benjamin Haydon.
A tear was shed over Groundsel and Necklaces by Cicely Mary Barker (1943) which has come home, as it were. A niece found it in my late sister's library. My round hand declares my name, address & telephone number, very formally, with the date 1948. Two pages are torn out in the middle — why I no longer remember, sheer naughtiness probably.
This little book with its gorgeous illustrations and wartime paper was given to me as a sop, I suspect, for having to live in beastly London after the freedom of the country.
Not wanting to be deliberately sanctimonious, Ginny, but I'm reading a corking book on St John of the Cross: Seasons of Prayer by Iain Matthew OCD. It's very short, and beautifully and imaginatively written. If I'm honest I don't completely understand it. But I'm completely gripped by it and can't stop thinking about it. I also have the feeling that, of all those giants, the Doctors of the Church, John would have been the easiest to get along with.
Enlightenment please, Virginia, for all your Yankee admirers: What is a "groundsel"?
Thank you for the book recommendations, Ginny. Now will go and look for "A Late Beginner" in an online store.

It took years of fierce debate to winnow the dozens of potential landing sites for NASA's Mars Curiosity rover down to just one. But although the US$2.5-biallion machine won't land in Gale Crater until August, Mars scientists are already thinking about where they want to go to next. On Wednesday, at a workshop held in Herndon, Virginia, 40 of them developed a list of ten high-priority sites that must be characterized in preparation for future missions.
Some would consider it premature to plan for a future rover, given that Curiosity could be the last in a long time. Just two weeks ago, NASA announced that it would be withdrawing from missions that it had been set to pursue with the European Space Agency (ESA) in 2016 and 2018. ESA says that it is working with Russia to fill the gaps left by the US withdrawal, but nothing has been decided.
Nevertheless, workshop organizers say that data must be gathered on the new sites as soon as possible. The urgency stems from worries about the longevity of the satellite that has done the bulk of the work so far: the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), which was launched in 2005. One of the 14 charge coupled device (CCD) detectors on its high-resolution camera no longer works, and one of the three cryogenic coolers used for its imaging spectrometer is now out of commission. There is nothing remotely similar planned to replace it.
Richard Zurek, project scientist for the MRO at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, says that researchers must wring as much science as possible from the orbiter while it is still functioning. "We've only seen a very small fraction of Mars with high resolution," he says. "Maybe the best site is still out there."
What would define the best site? Until NASA withdrew from the ESA projects, it was thought that the 2018 mission would be a rover that would cache rocks that later missions could return to Earth for analysis. In December 2011, a framework for prioritizing the science of such a sample-return mission was established, says Scott McLennan, a geochemist at Stony Brook University, New York, who co-chaired the international committee (see 'Seven target sites announced for Mars sample return').
The top priority would be gathering samples from a once-watery environment that might preserve evidence of ancient life. The second most important goal is to find igneous rocks that could be dated by radioisotope analysis to get a better idea of the ages of rocks on Mars. A report from McLennan's group offered up a list of seven possible sites, including Gusev Crater, where NASA's Spirit rover landed in 2004, and Mawrth Vallis, one of four sites that reached the shortlist for Curiosity.
The workshop on Wednesday was supposed to add to that list, and some of the proposed sites fell into familiar categories. Jack Mustard, a Mars scientist at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, says that tensions that played out in the debate over Curiosity's landing site are surfacing once more. "The debate hasn't moved," he says. "The positions have been established."
Some Mars scientists prefer sites that contain remnants of ancient lakes and river deltas, which could have concentrated and preserved signs of life. But these sites tend to lie in relatively young terrains, dating from a time when Mars was becoming drier and less hospitable. Another set of researchers tends to favour water-altered minerals from older sites, which may represent exposures of subterranean hydrothermal systems -- another possible niche for life.
John Grant, a Mars scientist at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC, and co-chairman of the landing site selection process, says that the MRO should gather fresh data for the high-priority sites within the next few months, and that a next workshop will be planned for a year from now.

In a move that takes open source to the next logical level, Red Hat today announced a suite of open source business process management (BPM) software based on the business rules that it developed to run on top of its JBoss middleware.
Phil Simpson, principal product marketing manager for Red Hat, says Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite 6 is intended to make it easier for organizations to affordably take advantage of BPM software that ultimately makes the organization more agile. Rather than relying on developers to make every change to a business process, BPM software allows users to take advantage of business rules and an event processing engine running on top of an application server to model, automate, simulate and monitor business processes.
At the core of Red Hat JBoss BPM are a business process modeler, a graphical data modeler and business activity monitors that are all integrated with version 6.0 of the Red Hat business rules management system.
Simpson says that underneath Red Hat JBoss BPM, Red Hat is taking advantage of a variety of application programming interfaces (APIs) to allow users of the company's BPM software to interact with a variety of data sources, including the distribution of Hadoop developed by Hortonworks.
In recent years, the use of BPM software has increased as organizations have sought to deploy frameworks that allow end users to directly manipulate data without the direct aid of developers. The goal is to allow end users to manipulate business processes on an end-to-end basis rather than being forced to try to manage a process within one specific ERP application. While this isn't a new concept, Red Hat clearly wants to lower the cost of acquiring BPM software as part of a bid to increase its usage well beyond the relatively small number of organizations that have thus far been able to afford to acquire and deploy it.

Home News Brief Guatemala Mayor's Brother Tied to Major El Salvador Cocaine Seizure
Guatemala Mayor's Brother Tied to Major El Salvador Cocaine Seizure
Parker Asmann
Elites and Organized Crime
Jorge Marroquín Fuentes (second from right) is the brother of the mayor of Moyuta in Guatemala
Authorities in El Salvador have intercepted a cocaine shipment with alleged ties to political elites in Guatemala, further indicating how corruption and political protection are helping to fuel drug trafficking operations in Central America.
Last week, Salvadoran authorities intercepted a fishing boat transporting 840 kilograms of cocaine worth more than $21 million, the largest seizure ever recorded by El Salvador's navy, Prensa Libre reported.
Among the ship's crew of four Guatemalans and one Ecuadorean was Jorge Marroquín Fuentes, the brother of the mayor of Moyuta, a town in Guatemala's Jutiapa department along the southern border with El Salvador.
Moyuta's mayor, Carlos Roberto Marroquín Flores, reportedly has had disputes with another Guatemalan elite turned criminal, Marixa Ethelinda Lemus Pérez, alias "La Patrona," who was recaptured by Salvadoran authorities on May 25 after escaping from a Guatemalan prison earlier that month.
Lemus Pérez is accused of heading a criminal network responsible for multiple kidnappings and murders during and after the time that her and her family exercised control over Moyuta while her brother, Magno Lemus, was mayor between 2008 and 2011.
SEE ALSO: Coverage of Elites and Organized Crime
Shortly after her escape, Carlos Marroquín stated that Lemus Pérez wanted to reestablish her criminal ties in Moyuta and that he feared for his life, Prensa Libre reported separately on May 16. Lemus Pérez reportedly blames Carlos Marroquín for her sister's death after she challenged him in Moyuta's 2011 general elections, Guatevisión reported in May.
This recent drug bust further emphasizes the role that corruption and political protection play in allowing criminal structures in Central America to move drug shipments throughout the region. The nearly one ton of cocaine that was seized is a significant amount for Central American players and demonstrates their capacity to traffic drugs in large quantities.
SEE ALSO: Coverage of Cocaine Production
Colombia is currently experiencing a surge in coca production, and this in turn is affecting the role of Central American countries in the international drug trade. As a result, the geography of Guatemala's municipality of Moyuta has turned local politics into a cutthroat business. After her sister was killed in 2011, Lemus Pérez told elPeriódico in 2015 that the bad blood between herself and Carlos Marroquín in part stems from his desire to "remove all the competition [in Motuya] in order to control the territory."
SEE ALSO: Guatemala News and Profiles
The dispute illustrates the importance drug traffickers place on controlling political levers of power in order to further their illicit activities. This dynamic is further highlighted by reports that Carlos Marroquín spent more than $100,000 of the municipality's money to armour his vehicle in addition to hiring more than 15 security guards to protect himself and his family from the danger he felt they were in, according to Prensa Libre.

Q: How to set the extent of a PostGIS geography table? I have multiple geography tables in PostGIS database. All of them have extents of (-180,-90;180,90), probably in their metadata, which makes editing difficult. I'd like to set the extent to exactly the bounding box of them, but I can't find any command to alter them.
Extents are viewed in QGIS by right clicking the layer and click Properties, then click Info tab.
How do I set the extents to exactly the bounding boxes of my geography tables?

Adam's story: 2,000 pills in 6 weeks
by Michael D · August 28, 2014
Dr. Julio Diaz awaiting sentencing on charges including illegal drug distribution
Adam Montgomery, 27, became addicted to prescription drugs and later died
DEA alleges Diaz prescribed him more than 2,000 pills in the six weeks before his death
Watch CNN's special series, "Deadly Fix," this week on CNN Newsroom at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. ET.
(CNN) — The modest clinic on Milpas Street in laid-back Santa Barbara, California, was well known to patients seeking powerful pain medication.
They went there to find the "Candy Man."
Dr. Julio Diaz earned that nickname because, according to court records, he was writing prescriptions for massive numbers of pills — hundreds, even thousands, at a time. He prescribed medications like oxycodone, a powerful opioid pain killer that is highly addictive.
At the nearby Cottage Hospital, emergency room doctors noticed a pattern and sensed a problem.
"We communicate first with our patients and then with the primary care providers. We then began to see that there was a pattern and that clearly by far Dr. Diaz's prescribing stood out above any of the other physicians in the computer," Dr. Chris Lambert said.
Lambert found that Cottage Health documented more than 400 emergency room visits from Diaz's patients, according to court documents. Some were clearly dependent on opiates, he said, and others were seeking more pain medication.
"And of course we saw the complications, too," Lambert noted. Those complications included symptoms of severe drug withdrawal and overdoses.
The Medical Board of California, and eventually the Drug Enforcement Administration, were called to investigate. That investigation resulted in a laundry list of charges against Diaz including the over-prescription of narcotics, prescribing narcotics when there was no medical need, and illegal distribution of a narcotic to a person under the age of 21.
According to the DEA, there were a dozen overdose deaths associated with Diaz. Twenty-seven-year-old Adam Montgomery was one of them.
Montgomery started seeing Diaz after he injured his back on a construction job. He was seeking pain medication. He got it, and soon he was hooked.
As the months went by, Montgomery's parents noticed a change.
"Well, at some point, he started spending a lot of time in bed. And just watching TV, never doing anything," Adam's father, Robert Montgomery said. "And that seemed to get worse and worse. And then I noticed the color change in his face, his attitude, his love toward his family …That all went away."
Montgomery slowly became aware that his son was addicted to oxycodone, and he called Diaz.
"I was seeing paperwork with hundreds of oxycodone pills," Montgomery told CNN. "I wanted to know why he was giving him so many." He says he never got an answer.
In an affidavit, the DEA alleges that in the six weeks before Adam Montgomery's death, Diaz prescribed him a total of 2,087 pills, an average of 63 pills a day.
On the day after Thanksgiving in 2011, Montgomery received the news that his son had died of a drug overdose. In Adam Montgomery's bedroom and car, investigators found bottles of multiple drugs, and some were empty. All were prescribed by Diaz.
The autopsy concluded that a cocktail of oxycodone, hydromorphone, alprazolam and methadone was the cause of death.
"Right now we have more people that are dying from prescription opioids than cocaine and heroin combined," said Robert Hill, a DEA special agent with years of experience on the front lines of the war on drugs.
Hill says that in 2011, the most recent year for which there are statistics, more than 22,000 people died from prescription drugs.
Late last year, Diaz signed a plea agreement, admitting to a reduced number of charges. Those charges include the illegal distribution of oxycodone, hydromorphone, alprazolam and fentanyl. The original charges against him carried a maximum sentence of 200 years in prison and up to $ 10 million in fines, but the plea bargain will likely reduce that sentence.
CNN contacted Diaz's attorney, but received no comment. Diaz awaits sentencing.
To this day, Montgomery's parents struggle with the what-ifs.
Had he known then what he knows now, "I might have been able to save him, but I was more disappointed in him — in making these bad decisions," Robert Montgomery said. "But it wasn't him, it was the drugs that changed him. So I just turned my back on him, and I wouldn't do that today."

Domestic violence is a pattern of psychological abuse, threats, intimidation, isolation or economic coercion used by one person to exert power and control over another person in the context of a dating, family or household relationship.
Domestic violence cuts across all racial, economic, social, educational and religious barriers. It causes psychological trauma and physical injury, including death. It crosses generations, creating an epidemic.
Eighty-five percent of all victims are women. One out of every four women is victimized during her life.
Although less than one in five victims of intimate partner violence seek medical treatment, the cost of related medical and mental health services exceeds $4.1 million a year. Victims lose 5.6 million days of household productivity because of violence.
WellSpring helps those who take the first step and seek help. We try to reach victims who don't seek help and educate the community about domestic violence through our community services.

Sean Longstaff
Sean Longstaff reveals how Newcastle team-mates reacted to away fans chanting 'If Longstaff scores'
Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff made his Premier League debut for the Magpies during Wednesday's 4-0 defeat at Anfield
Chris WaughNUFC Writer
Sean Longstaff admits his Premier League debut feels "bittersweet" right now - but the Newcastle United-supporting midfielder insists he will look back fondly on that moment in years to come.
The 21-year-old was introduced as a 73rd-minute substitute during the Magpies' 4-0 defeat against unbeaten league leaders Liverpool at Anfield.
And, though United conceded twice while Longstaff was on the field, the Magpies Academy graduate showed some decent touches, and even had an opportunity to score late on, showing composure in front of goal before he was thwarted by Reds stopper Alisson Becker.
Newcastle fans' amusing chants, Rafa's adoration, as Shearer and Keegan watch on: moments you missed
But, just like his first-team debut against Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup back in August - which ended in a 3-1 defeat for the Magpies at the City Ground - Longstaff's Premier League bow is tinged with disappointment, due to the final result.
Yet, despite that, given that Longstaff grew up supporting Newcastle as a child and has always dreamed of playing for the Magpies in England's top flight, he believes that when he eventually retires he will be able to look back on his Anfield debut with pride.
"It's a bittersweet day again, a bit like the Carabao Cup game," Longstaff said following his Premier League debut at Anfield
"Obviously, we've got to do a better job of sticking in games when it does go to 2-0, and do a better job of getting back in.
"We probably made it a bit too easy for them at that point, but for me to be able to come on play in one of the most iconic stadiums in the world - it's unbelievable.

"I'm a bit lost for words. I'm over the moon but, a bit like the cup game, it's a bittersweet day."
With Newcastle already 2-0 on Wednesday and Kenedy failing to impress in midfield, Benitez called Longstaff across to the technical area to tell the young midfielder he was about to come on.
The United manager then offered some words of advice to Longstaff, telling him to make sure he enjoyed it, and that there was no pressure on him to perform given the scoreline.
"I don't [know] to be honest - I can't remember - but I just know when the manager called me, your stomach drops a little bit. You get a few butterflies," Longstaff replied when he was asked what went through his head once he learned he was coming on.
"But, you know, coming on at 2-0 down, like the manager said to me, there's no pressure on me. You [only] get to make your debut once. He just said to go and enjoy it. I tried to do that, obviously.
How Newcastle's transfer woes, their Anfield misses and refereeing decisions all left Rafa seething
"It didn't help that they scored a couple more goals, but it's always going to be tough when they're on top. But it was a good day for me, and I'm over the moon for my family, who've helped me get here,, and coaches along the way."
When the debutant was introduced at Anfield, warm applause could be heard from the away end - as United fans also chanted: "Sean Longstaff, he's one of our own."
A few minutes later, the travelling Toon Army were then signing, "If Longstaff scores, we're on the pitch", something the midfielder insists he did not hear at the time - with the 21-year-old instead learning of the chants after the match when his team-mates informed him of them.

Longstaff added: "I heard it briefly when I came on. It wasn't until I was in the changing room after that the lads were saying they were chanting: 'If Longstaff scores, we're on the pitch.'
"The lads were saying: 'Imagine if that chance had went in.' Obviously, it is what it is, and for them to be signing about me - I've been there singing about other players.
"It's an unbelievable day, ruined a little bit by the scoreline. In 10 or 20 years' time when it's all done, no-one's going to remember that we got beat 4-0. I'll remember making my debut. It's a great day."
