To treat or not to treat? Navigating the gray area of Cushing syndrome
dvm360, dvm360 January 2022, Volume 12, Issue 52
A veterinarian shares her approach to diagnosing and treating this puzzling disease.
Diagnosing Cushing syndrome can be frustrating. Speaking at the Fetch dvm360® Conference in San Diego, California, Kelly Cairns, DVM, MS, DACVIM (SAIM), vice president of Medical Excellence and Education at Thrive Pet Healthcare, explained that clinicians rarely encounter a textbook case of Cushing syndrome. Rather, they are often stumped by what she terms "the elusive gray-zone dog," which is difficult to diagnose and plan treatment for.
Veterinary professionals are well versed in how to approach a dog showcasising typical signs of Cushing syndrome, but many struggle to determine the best course of action when endocrine diagnostic screening tests come back inconclusive or confusing. Cairns, who is based in Naperville, Illinois, reviewed diagnostic and treatment options for the clinician, as well as potential complications and the client education aspect of the condition, during the session.
Cairns said success in handling "borderline" Cushing syndrome cases comes down to 4 key areas: learning how to use and interpret the available diagnostic tests accurately and efficiently, understanding the complications of Cushing syndrome, creating action plans based on predetermined criteria, and implementing a comprehensive client education communication strategy to meet expectations. By analyzing a case through the lens of these 4 principles, clinicians can better determine a course of action when dealing with atypical or "gray area" signs of Cushing syndrome.1
The decision to treat or watch and wait
"It comes down to treat or not to treat," said Cairns. "Once you think you have a dog with Cushing [syndrome], that is the question."
Cairns recommended that when determining whether to begin treatment with traditional pharmacologic therapy with trilostane (Vetoryl; Dechra Veterinary Products) or mitotane (Lysodren; HRA Pharma Rare Diseases) for Cushing syndrome, clinicians should consider the following questions1:
Are there symptoms affecting the patient's quality of life?
Are there symptoms affecting the pet parent's quality of life?
Are there complications that are concerning to the clinician?
Will treatment improve quality of life for the patient and/or pet parent?
Will treatment decrease risk or severity of complications of the condition?
Cairns said that the decision to treat a patient with Cushing syndrome can vary on a case-by-case basis depending upon the above factors. She said that considering these factors are important in addition to diagnostics because often test results may only be clear cut for classic, textbook cases. With regard to reference ranges on diagnostics and the value of taking them in context with other information, Cairns said, "Those values were established 5000 years ago when we were only diagnosing dogs with Cushing [syndrome] that [look like the textbook presentation]."
Cairns spoke about what to do if a watch-and-wait approach is the best course of action for the patient. She advised, "At the very least, you want to address and treat any complications that currently exist, and you want to monitor for future complications that may arise."
Cairns also said that alternate therapy may be an option for those veterinarians and pet parents who are so inclined. The most common options for these therapies include melatonin (3-6 mg orally every 12 hours), HMR lignans (10-40 mg orally every 24 hours) and/or SDG lignans (flaxseed hull, 1-2 mg/lb orally every 24 hours).2
She said that although there are many acceptable approaches, she prefers to monitor and recheck these patients frequently.
"I like to see these patients every 3 to 6 months…and I'm paying particular attention to these things on a physical exam: muscle mass, tone, orthoneuro, skin. And it's my touch base with the client," Cairns said.
Client communication and education
"More than almost any other disease, [client education about Cushing syndrome] is key," Cairns said. "We're not trying to give them a PhD in biochemistry, but they need to understand it so that they can understand the 'why' behind your asks of them."
Client communication and education are crucial in achieving optimal outcomes for the patient while setting and meeting client expectations. This means starting with the basics and explaining what Cushing syndrome is, as well as teaching them the major effects of glucocorticoid hormones on the body. It also means making sure they're aware of the differences between annoying symptoms and serious complications so that they know when to seek help.
For pituitary-dependent Cushing [syndrome], Cairns had a stark recommendation: "I always say to the client, 'This means your dog has a brain tumor.' They need to hear that." This comment leads into a good news/bad news conversation with the patient.
"The good news is that most dogs don't die of Cushing [syndrome], studies show.…The bad news is that this is going to progress," Cairns said. "It's not goodbye, but the treatment is forever."
Cairns recommended considering handouts to support client education efforts. She also suggested have one or more technicians become the "Cushing Ambassador" for clients. These ambassadors can serve as the point person for conversations and client questions after the initial conversations with the veterinarian.
The key takeaway from Cairns' talk: There is no one-size-fits-all solution to diagnosing and treating Cushing syndrome. Multiple factors go into ensuring the case is a success from the standpoint of the patient's health as well as the client's expectations. When clinical diagnostic information doesn't provide a clear path forward, practitioners should be asking themselves these important questions to determine the best course of action for a particular case.

U.S.: In 2018 and 2017, the Company-operated margin percent decreased as the benefits of positive comparable sales and refranchising were more than offset by the impact of EOTF (primarily additional depreciation expense in 2017 and both labor productivity and depreciation expense in 2018), as well as higher labor and commodity costs.
International Lead Markets: In 2018 and 2017, the increases in the Company-operated margin percents were primarily due to positive comparable sales partly offset by higher labor, commodity and occupancy costs.
High Growth Markets: In 2018, the decrease in the Company-operated margin percent was primarily due to the impact of refranchising, mainly related to the sale of the Company's businesses in China and Hong Kong, and higher labor costs, partly offset by positive comparable sales performance. In 2017, the increase was primarily due to strong comparable sales and the benefit of lower depreciation in China and Hong Kong (due to held for sale accounting treatment). This increase was partly offset by negative comparable sales in South Korea and the impact of refranchising.
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 1% (2% in constant currencies) in 2018 and decreased 6% (7% in constant currencies) in 2017. The decreases in 2018 and 2017 were primarily due to lower employee-related costs, partly offset by investment in restaurant technology. Expenses in 2018 also reflected costs related to the 2018 Worldwide Owner/Operator Convention and sponsorship of the 2018 Winter Olympics.


Lakota Woman (1991) and Ohitika Woman (1994) are the consecutive life stories of Mary Brave Woman Olguin (also known as Mary Crow Dog and Mary Brave Bird). The books portray Mary's telling of her life and its connection with Lakota history and tradition. Non-Native artist and writer, Richard Erdoes, was involved in the co-authorship of both books and recent criticism often focuses upon Erdoes' involvement in the writing process. I suggest that a reading which emphasizes Erdoes' contribution only isolates the reader from the actual subject of Lakota Woman and Ohitika Woman: Mary Brave Woman Olguin's life and the traditional and contemporary Lakota elements which are evident in the books.
I uncover a number of patterns in Lakota Woman and Ohitika Woman which relate to naming and, through the use of ancillary material, I illustrate the ways in which the patterns call up Lakota naming practices. The honoring of names is integral to traditional Lakota culture and finds expression in Lakota Woman and Ohitika Woman through Mary's possibly intentional engagement of naming practices in the contemporary context of her life. Invoking a name is a way of honoring a person and their deeds. I illustrate some of the ways of honoring, such as the repeated invocation of names, the recognition of heroic deeds, and the specific practice of non-naming. I also investigate name-giving ceremonies through a discussion of Mary's personal names.
While naming refers to the Lakota naming practices which will be explored, I also use naming in the sense of identifying or indicating one's position or beliefs. Mary Brave Woman Olguin's understanding of who she is revealed through overt declarations as well as through the associations she draws to specific people who are connected with Native culture. Mary's naming of her gender, her cultural affiliations, and her relationships with others contribute to her self-identification within Lakota culture. I will explore the way in which Mary Brave Woman Olguin indicates, or names, her identity as a Lakota, specifically as a Lakota woman. I offer an exploration of Lakota naming practices and Mary's presentations of her identity. My investigation is informed by an understanding of the interpretation of traditional and contemporary Lakota culture and is achieved through a critical reading of Lakota Woman and Ohitika Woman as well as through information derived from extratextual sources by and about the Lakota people.

Red Wings Making the Grade
After 48 games, the Detroit Red Wings are in a good position to make it to the playoffs for the 24th consecutive season. They currently sit in first place in the Atlantic Division at 28-11-9 (65 points) and are riding a six-game winning streak after their 5-4 win over Florida on Tuesday night.
As was the case last year, the young guns in Detroit have led the way for a successful season so far. Let's take a look at how the position groups have fared and how they project going into the stretch run for the playoffs.
After playing in only 45 games last season due to injuries, Pavel Datsyuk is nearing his points total from a year ago with 35 points in 38 games. The 12-year vet from Russia has been incredibly consistent and is scoring on 15.8 percent of his shots so far this season — Datsyuk's highest shooting percentage since the 2010-11 season when he shot 16.8 percent.
The ex-Florida Panther Stephen Weiss has struggled with injuries for much of his time in Detroit and this year has been the same story for Weiss, who has appeared in only 25 games, recording six goals and 11 assists.
With both Datsyuk and Weiss missing time this season, third-year center, Gustav Nyquist, has made a huge impact for the Red Wings after bursting onto the NHL scene last season. The Swedish center has scored 19 goals and tallied 18 assists on the season.
It seems that Darren Helm has put his injuries behind him and is well on his way to a solid season. Helm, who had played in only 43 games the last two seasons, has played in all 48 games and recorded 20 points on the season.
Joakim Andersson, another young Swedish center, has played in 36 games with one goal and four assists.
The Grade: B+
Third-year forward, Tomas Tatar, is having a career season, with a team-leading 21 goals and 13 assists.
Although the young players have played a part in what could be a special season in Hockeytown, the experience of veterans has been invaluable. Veteran players such as Henrik Zetterberg, who is having a bounce-back season after an injury-plagued 2013 season where he only played 45 games. The 11-year veteran from Sweden has played all 48 games so far this season and leads the team in points with 45.
Justin Abdelkader, a Muskegon native and former Michigan State Spartan, is also having a solid season with 11 goals and 15 assists in 40 games. Abdelkader has seen time on the top line this season and his ability to score goals and create plays in front of the net has improved mightily. He also leads Detroit in the +/- category with a plus-nine on the season.
One player I expect to have a significant impact down the stretch for Detroit is Luke Glendening, a Grand Rapids native and former University of Michigan player. Glendening has totaled six goals and three assists on the season and has seen his ice time increase steadily over the last few weeks.
Johan Franzen is the one forward on the team that has not met expectations so far this season. "The Mule," who has become known for his scoring prowess in the past, is struggling to put pucks in the back of the net as evident by his seven goals in 33 games. Franzen is paid to score goals, and if he continues to struggle I would not be surprised to see his name turn up in trade talks.
The Grade: A
The Red Wings have allowed an average of 2.4 goals per game, good for seventh in the league. A big part of that has been the improved play of the defensemen. Niklas Kronwall has assumed the leadership role on this team following the retirement of the legendary Nicklas Lidstrom. Kronwall, who is known for his devastating hits and ability to score from the blue line, has become a more complete player. With five goals and 22 assists on the season, Kronwall should surpass his season totals from a year ago.
One of most highly debated players on the Red Wings is Jonathan Ericsson. The seventh-year Swedish defenseman has struggled to score, with only two goals, and for much of the season has had a negative +/- rating. It will be interesting to see how Ericsson responds in the latter half of the season.
Kyle Quincey has been a steady veteran presence in a locker room filled with many young players. The former Colorado Avalanche defenseman has scored three goals and tallied nine assists on the season.
One sore spot in Quincey's game has been the amount of time he has spent in the penalty box. With 39 penalty minutes this season, a team-high, it will be important for Quincy to be more disciplined.
Danny DeKeyser is another young player having an outstanding season for the Red Wings. The 2nd second-year defenseman out of Western Michigan University has recorded 19 points in 45 games and has a +/- rating of plus-five. Look for DeKeyser to continue his strong play into the later part of the season and possibly the playoffs.
For the Red Wings, the weakest link has been their suspect goaltending at times. Franchise goaltender, Jimmy Howard, who is 16-7-7 on the season, injured his groin in a January 10 game versus Washington and has been on injured reserve since. He is expected to miss at least the next few weeks. Howard was having a pretty good season with a 2.11 goals against average and .920 save percentage. He was also the only Red Wings player selected for the All-Star Game.
Petr Mrazek began the season in the AHL with the Grand Rapids Griffins, but has stepped up immensely in Howard's absence with a 9-3-1 record, including Detroit's only two shootout wins. The biggest question remains: When will Howard return?
The Grade: B
Overall Team
Forty-eight games into the season, the Detroit Red Wings have exceeded expectations and have the look of a team that could contend for a deep playoff run. A lethal power play unit has been key for Detroit this season. So far, the Red Wings are scoring at 25.4 percent, second in the NHL.
Their penalty kill unit has been almost just as good with an 84.6 percent kill rate, sixth in the league.
Detroit is a balanced team that is ranked in the top ten in both goals per game and goals allowed per game.
The Red Wings' schedule figures to get tougher with a majority of the remaining games on the road, including ten of the next 13 games. How they respond to this challenge will give us a great look at whether or not this team is ready to contend.

I was working on the Invaders tutorial. I just inserted the actors into the scene and when I went to test the program, it would not run. No error message appeared, just a message saying to copy my logs and them into the forum.

Q: html5 video tag: video.play() "undefined is not a function" I have a page with a video. The video is supposed to automatically pause when the user switches to another tab and restart as soon as the user comes back. We do this by using an eventListener on the "visibilitychange" event, but thats not my problem.
My problem is in fact, that we get tons of error logging when trying to start or restart the player:

TypeError: undefined is not a function (evaluating
  'theVideoTag.play()')

The code:
// Some time before get it via jQuery
var videoPlayer = $('video');
// And then later
var theVideoTag = videoPlayer.get(0);
log(theVideoTag.toString()) // <- Interesting thing, read further down
theVideoTag.play(); // <- This is where the error happens

I've logged extensively. When I try it in my own browsers, the log always say that "theVideoTag" is an "[object HTMLVideoElement]". Great, that's as it should be, and I never get that annoying failure in any of my testing browsers anyway.
But whenever the problem happens the log says that "theVideoTag" was actually an "[object HTMLUnknownElement]".
I would have guessed that these error messages came from some obscure browsers or bots, but no - according to the user agents they are recent Firefoxes, Chromes, IEs, the whole nine yards.
Does anyone have an idea under which circumstances an HTMLVideoElement is not identified as such and instead seen as an HTMLUnknownElement (which of course does not have a play function)? And how to get the video still to play in those circumstances?

View from our Albergue in Melida.
German ladies tut-tutting while I took the shot from the window
It had been a long night, but we woke to the sound of songbirds and gentle rain. All quite pleasant until you realised we were about to venture out into it. Greg got the gang roused by about 0550 and we started to gather our belongings in the dark with head lamps. It was to be a 25 km day, so that we would arrive in Santiago before the Pilgrim's mass.
The Frenchies continued to sleep almost oblivious of our movements. Probably their 28 km trek of the previous day knocked them out: note to self about our plans for an even longer Camino in a few year's time. Backpacks swung over our shoulders and down stairs to regroup. Greg's knee was OK but causing him some trouble. Of course the younger ones were completely fresh and raring to go. The rain was steady and cold for the first two hours walking when we decided it was time to stop. We had realised by now that one did not stop at the first Albergue/cafe in a village because that is where the crowd gathers. Notwithstanding our discomfort we decided to leave the crowd behind, continue walking and were rewarded with
Setting off early
One of us looking grizzled
a cute little place, half filled. Everything we were carrying was wet on the outside but not drenched. The spray covers on the new Berghaus backpacks were pretty good, but steady rain has a way of seeping into every little spot it can. Our basic Spanish only got us so far in communications for coffee and tortillas, but the Italians and Spaniards in the room seemed to have no problem with stories around the football finals for tonight. Lots of wine and beer drunk at 9am to enhance their conversations. We trudged on and the rain showers came and passed.
The terrain was still rolling hills and small lanes running around dairy paddocks and market gardens. The Camino mileage markers were still showing the way but for some reason most of the little metal distance plaques had been removed. Made it difficult to know exactly where we were - not that it was possible to get lost. The villages were between 2 and 5 kms apart so we were never too far away from civilisation. Most farms and villages houses had a full sized horreo, or at least a small model horreo that was the letter box / fresh
Rolling along through green countryside
bread box. The Camino at this stage also winds back and forth past the highways and intermediate roads. Probably no surprise since the Camino trail was probably the first trail that followed indigenous community tracks, and the roads were built around them. We thought about the story of the dimensions of the Space Shuttle ultimately being scaled by the width of a horse's bum - search for it on the net if you have not read it before.
We were now out of sequence with the bulk of the pilgrim walkers because we stopped at different places. Likewise this day, the guide books refer to completing the stretch from Arzua to Santiago de Compostela in one day: a distance of about 38km!! After a couple of day's walking and enduring a few minor ailments we realised that this distance would be unsustainable for us to say the least. We are comfortable at about 25km, so we tried to fit a stop in between the two towns. Our host at the Posto Albergue had said that there were relatively few Albergues in this last stretch and this turned out to be true. So we opted to stay in a Hotel
Quaint church and copper downpipes
in Armenal and this turned out to be a good choice. After lunch along the way, persistent rain, and some ailments, we were really pleased to see the Hotel sign appear around a corner. The country was now open and peri-urban. The fields were smaller and the patches of forest tiny. There were plenty of pilgrims gathered around the entrance of the Hotel Armenal. The host was English, we think, but he could not work out the difference between Gregory Harper as the person who was booked in, and MacGregor. The booking seemed to be for MacGregor, but this was immaterial. We checked in to this three star hotel and jettisoned the wet gear. Wet boots in particular. We enjoyed a restaurant style lunch and a fine local Rioja. Mostly resting during the afternoon, but Alex and Greg tried to go out for a walk around the village. Turned our Armenal was nothing more than this Hotel and some older broken down farmhouses. Later we played some five hundred and prepared for the evening meal. It is true that this trip was largely walking, talking, thinking and eating. In Greg's case the pork rib Churrasco was memorable. Given that we
Irises beside the path
had multiple i-machines available to us, we played GeoGuesser until ready to call it quits.

"The road less travelled - with a modern twist". Whatever the initial motivation to visit, a friend's comment, a magazine article, a novel, we enjoy a mix of cultural, historical, agricultural and culinary experiences on the road. Out-of-the-way places are hard to find, but these four aspects continue to enthrall us. Upcoming adventure: Christmas in New York City, and a stop-over in San Francisco.

Bluetooth is a technology for wireless communication. It is designed to replace cable connections.It uses serial communication to communicate with devices. It communicates with microcontroller using serial port (USART). Usually, it connects small devices like mobile phones, PDAs and TVs using a short-range wireless connection to exchange documents. It uses the 2.45GHz frequency band. The connection can be point-to-point or multi-point where the maximum range is 10 meters. The transfer rate of the data is 1Mbps.
HC-05 Bluetooth module provides switching mode between master and slave mode which means it able to use neither receiving nor transmitting data.
Comparing it to the HC-06 module, which can only be set as a Slave, the HC-05 can be set as Master as well which enables making a communication between two separate Arduino Boards.
You can use Bluetooth module simply for a serial port replacement to establish connection between MCU, PC to your embedded project and etc.
It is IEEE 802.15.1 standardized protocol, through which one can build wireless Personal Area Network (PAN). It uses frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) radio technology to send data over air.
Data mode: Exchange of data between devices. Baud rate is 9600bps in data mode.
Command mode: It uses AT commands which are used to change setting of HC-05. Baud rate is 38400bps in command mode.
2. VCC: Connect 5 V or 3.3 V to this Pin.
5. RXD: Connect with Microcontroller TXD pin of Microcontroller. Received data will be transmitted wirelessly by Bluetooth module.
6. State: It tells whether module is connected or not. It acts as a status indicator.
For HC-05 Bluetooth Hardware Package details you can refer the document which we have provided at the end of article.
Master role: have no function to remember the last paired salve device. It can be made paired to any slave device. Master role: have paired memory to remember last slave device and only make pair with that device unless KEY (PIN26) is triggered by high level. The default connected PIN26 is low level.
KEY: PIN34, for entering to the AT mode. KEY: PIN26, for master abandons memory.
4800-1.3M are settable. Default communication baud rate: 9600, 1200-1.3M are settable.
During the communication mode, by setting PIN34 to high the module can enter to the AT mode. During the communication mode, the module can't enter to the AT mode.
the slave device automatically. Pairing: Master device search and make pair with the slave device automatically.
Connect Power Supply(based on datasheet of modules) for Bluetooth and Microcontroller which you are using.
Connect TXD pin of HC-05 Bluetooth module to RXD pin of Microcontroller.
Connect RXD pin of HC-05 Bluetooth module to TXD pin of Microcontroller.
Common grounding should be needed for both modules.
Step 1: Input low level to PIN34.
Step 2: Supply power to the module.
Step 3: Input high level to the PIN34. Then the module will enter to AT mode. The baud rate is as same as the communication time, such as 9600 etc.
Step 1: Connect PIN34 to the power supply PIN.
Step 2: Supply power to module (the PIN34 is also supplied with high level since the PIN34 is connected with power supply PIN). Then the module will enter to AT module. But at this time, the baud rate is 38400. In this way, user should change the baud rate at the AT mode, if they forget the communication baud rate.
Step 2: Supply power to the module. Then the module will enter to communication mode. It can be used for pairing.
Step 1: Input high level to PIO11.
Step 2: Supply power to the module. And the module will enter to the order-response work mode.
Step 4: Sent the characters "AT+ROLE=1\r\n" through serial, then receive the characters "OK\r\n". Here, "\r\n" is the CRLF.
Step 5: Input low level to PIO, and supply power to the module again. Then this module will become master role and search the other module (slave role) automatically to build the connection.
HC-03 and HC-05's command should end up with "\r\n". It's different from HC-04 and HC-06 (They don't need terminator).
The most common commands for HC-03 and HC-05 are: AT+ROLE (set master –slave), AT+CMODE( set address pairing) , AT+PSWD (set password). If you want the master module has the function of remembering slave module, the most simply way is: First, set AT+CMODE=1. Make the master module pair with the slave module. Second, set AT+CMODE=0. Then the master module just can make pair with that specified slave module.
When PIN34 keeps high level, all commands can be used. Otherwise, only some of them can be used.

Sunlight is scorching hot, and you also feel as if you are on-display. A pergola is not in the budget, and a privacy fence that is conventional is not actually what you are after. Additionally, you are in need of a remedy fairly fast. Have you ever considered a repair as easy as bamboo?
Because bamboo is this type of fast growing plant, it's a renewable resource that is deemed green and eco friendly. Use it outside to produce fences, screens and ceilings. Below are samples of of the versatile stuff.
A bamboo roof is simply what this couch that is easygoing desired. The stuff and light and ethereal areas like this one effortlessly blend together, particularly since light can pass through.
There is no better stuff that may have been utilized for the ceiling of the outside room that is tropical. To put it simply, it really feels like heaven! I will consider a margarita on the rocks, please.
When selecting a material for the fencing, capable to resist high winds and powerful sun, bamboo cane is an excellent choice. It is also accessible varying heights, which comes in useful when you're choosing a barrier that is taller.
Bamboo functions well here due to the cohesive experience it it generates. Drawing in the colour family of the seats and rock fireplace, this area feels nicely planned and well-balanced.
Rolls of bamboo can be bought in equally gentle and darkish tones. This fencing was produced from the selection that was darker, though permits mild to filter through. In case you are trying to find something a tad bit more personal, bear this in your mind.
This creates a wonderful backdrop for the row of exuberant plants and gently coloured fence combines nicely with its environment.
A Japanese-inspired room in this way wouldn't be full without some sort of bamboo. The roof top is an excellent extension of the area interior and generates a sense of Zen and relaxation.
Hung these lengthy draping screens of bamboo, in the pergola make a personal gathering spot. Through using layering, the flower baskets that are big help total the appearance.
Used on the ceiling, bamboo meshes completely with all the heat of light and the furniture in this backyard retreat.
Demonstrating yet again that bamboo can match several fashions, the designer of the outside room that was modern-day utilized rolls of bamboo for the broad-crossing ceiling.
Maybe among my personal favorite outside rooms this appearance that was accumulated, to day is pulled together having a backcloth that is sheer enough to permit some filtered mild, however personal enough to develop an atmosphere of isolation.

Hasn't she learned enough? Oh, wait, it's all these idiots can do. Learn more! Smash the stigma! Take credit for lots of things professionals do and take away their resources! Yes, I really hate the bait and switch they pulled with HT.
At least it's two visits and not one half hour visit which is the norm here.
A large for your comments about HT.
Whenever I see "to find out more" or "to learn about", I think she could have done as much learning if they had sent her a detailed letter or their fund-raising brochure, and could have done that at home slouching around in her trackies. She wouldn't have had to buy a new coat-dress or have her hair and makeup done and her suede shoes brushed and go through all the hassle of having people organise a trip for her and engage all the security people and drivers, etc. the way they do when she makes one of these fact-finding visits. Finding out about what the organisations do is background research she - and all royals, I'm not just singling out Chutters here - should be doing BEFORE making the visits. The visits should be about supporting the charities' work and advancing it, not learning about it.
I disagree. IMHO the background information would have already been presented already to (insert name of royal). If I were to align myself with a patronage, then I want to be there to observe and watch even if this was a "dog and pony" show event. Of course I would make discreet and unannounced visits to gain more knowledge of what is happening could also be made at another time. I would want to see the methodology being used and see how the clients- kids/teens/adults are responding to it. TBH I would want to see a lesson or a meeting struggle and how the therapists/teachers/aides cope with the situation.
I don't read all the articles or see all the videos that are available but does she do/say anything at these visits beyond pretending to look interested when other people talk?
Like what type of questions does she ask? What type of comments does she make?
Also I believe she recently gave a speech, right? Was it any good delivery wise? She was kind of blah the last time I recall but then again she doesn't do it much at all so she barely has any chance to really improve.
• Her Royal Highness will first visit Lavender Primary School in support of Place2Be's Childrens Mental Health Week 2019.The theme of this year's Children's Mental Health Week is 'Healthy: Inside and Out', focusing on the connection between physical and mental health.
• The Duchess will then visit Alperton Community School to meet the UK's first winner of the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize, Andria Zafirakou, and find out more about the programmes the school runs to support both students and teachers with their mental wellbeing.
• The Duchess of Cambridge will attend The Royal Foundation's 'Mental Health in Education' conference.
Sorry, but she has always been blah. If she is really smart, that has still to be proven.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will travel to Blackpool on Wednesday 6th March, visiting a series of innovative projects that are focused on investment and regeneration, as well as learning how the resort is leading the way in tackling some of the social and mental health problems faced by people in Britain today.
Their Royal Highnesses will first visit the iconic Blackpool Tower. In the surroundings of one of the UK's most famous landmarks, The Duke and Duchess will join a roundtable briefing about the town's recent history, the challenges, and the investment and regeneration efforts that are currently underway.
As Their Royal Highnesses depart Blackpool Tower they will spend time on 'Comedy Carpet' on the promenade to meet with members of the public gathered outside.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will travel to Blackpool Central Library where they will join two separate discussions focussing on issues and initiatives of particular relevance to each of their ongoing charitable interests.
The Duchess will continue her work on early childhood and join people involved in Blackpool's 'A Better Start' programme, including health visitors, practitioners from the Family Nurse Partnership, and parents. The session, led by Merle Davies, the Director of Blackpool's Centre for Early Child Development, will discuss the impact of long-term investment in mothers, fathers and children in their early years.
The Duke will meet people affected by problems around mental health, including issues such as homelessness and addiction, and meet people making a difference through the innovative work locally. He will also meet representatives of the emergency services and first responder community to learn more about how they are helping people with complex mental health needs.
For the final stop of the day, Their Royal Highnesses will visit Revoe Park, a recently revamped community garden and park that has been transformed thanks to involvement from 'A Better Start'. The park had previously been a known location for drug use, in an area of significant deprivation, yet is now a great example of how a long-term community led initiative can transform lives and provide new opportunities. In particular the park is helping young children experience gardening and the outdoors, as well as providing space and activities that allow parents, particularly men, to talk about mental health.

Ten tips from student Ties
February 12, 2018	by Danielle B in Teach
Ties (14) is in vwo (grammar school) 3 of the Hyperion Lyceum. It's a school that teaches its students to think critically and rationally, while maintaining an eye for people and society. Ties really feels at home in this school, which means his teachers must be doing something right, right? Here are 10 tips for lessons that are good, and fun too, such as: "Don't plan the lesson completely full!"
1. Let the students decide whether to work online or with books
"In our school you can do everything digitally if you want to. We all have a Chromebook, Magister for homework and deadlines and Google Classroom with exercises for every subject. But you can also opt for books and paper. Personally, I prefer working online because you don't have to take so much stuff with you and it's easy to work together and share documents. That said, when it comes to a subject like maths, in which you have to do many exercises, working with books is really quite handy."
For example: Memrise
"Memrise is an online tool for learning words. We use it in Spanish lessons, for example. The teacher creates a group and you can sign in for it. We are given the time to use it during lessons, which I appreciate, and the teacher can keep track of what you've done. I find words difficult to learn, but Memrise makes it easier. However, students who prefer to learn words on paper can do that too."
2. Be flexible with the lesson content
"It's important to have cool teachers, you're more likely to do your best for them. The coolest teachers at my school make sure there's plenty of room for discussion in the classroom. They have ideas, of course, but they don't plan the lesson completely full, and sometimes they decide on the spur of the moment to do something else. Like if there's been a big story in the news, for example."
For example: debating about the US election
"On the day of the US election the teacher had something planned for us but we got to talking about Trump so the teacher decided to hold a debate about that instead."
3. Don't make explanations too long
"In subjects like science and maths the explanations are always long, which I suppose is important for the students who have difficulty understanding the subject matter. Having understood it you can do the exercises, but you have to sit through the whole explanation, which can really be drawn out."
For example: the V-route
"If you've mastered the subject matter and don't want to do many exercises, you can opt for the V-route in which you delve deeper into the subject. You'll then be given fewer basic-stuff exercises and can start with the more difficult ones. From the 4th class you can also do accelerated or fast-tracked exams.
4. Allow students to have a say in their education
"Obviously, teachers can give lessons as they like, but in our school they also appreciate that what students want is also important. We can tell our mentor that things must be done differently and the teachers are really open to this."
For example: the Student Panel
"In the Student Panel every class is represented by one student. You can apply to sit on the Panel and if you have an issue you can always flag it up with the Panel members. When something happens at school or if there is a new proposal, the school will consult the Student Panel to find out what they think about it. Such as a new way of teaching, for example."
5. Make sure there is correlation between the subjects
"It's nice to learn different things in the same project. At our school, for example, we can follow several subjects in a project simultaneously. Quite often, you can choose the subject yourself in the context of a particular theme."
For example: science in ancient times
"During every semester we carry out a project that we work on for nine weeks, following several subjects simultaneously. Like science and history, for example, when it was about science in ancient times."
6. Introduce some diversity in the lessons
"Sometimes you find yourself doing the same thing in several subjects on the same day. Like consecutive language lessons, for example, in which you have to learn lots of words. Or subjects that require lots of explanation, which means you have to listen all day long. Having a good variety in the lessons is important."
For example: Ties' perfect day
"To start with I'd prefer to begin a little later because I'm not at my sharpest at nine o'clock. If we start with maths, in which there'll be a lot of explanation accompanied by individual exercises, I'd prefer the next subject to be one in which you get to talk and discuss things with one another. Like the great philosophers or history, for example. And my preference for gym is at the end of the day."
7. Don't make a test at the end the default situation
"We have to do many tests at school, too many according to most students. There are also some teachers who are against overloading us with tests and they often think of something different to make sure we understand the subject matter. By having us write a play or a speech, for example, or make a presentation with a movie or a report."
For example: design your own selection system
"Our Logic & Argumentation teacher is not what you'd call a fan of tests. For the theme of Democracy we were asked to design a selection system, with it being entirely up to us how the end result was communicated. In this way we could demonstrate our knowledge of the subject and apply it in a cool assignment, as opposed to doing a boring test."
8. Give students a voice in determining the content of the lessons
"Obviously, it's important that the teacher decides what you must learn. You will, after all, be expected to get through your exams. But that's not to say that teachers shouldn't be open to hear what we students want to learn. Not only is that more fun, you also learn more."
For example: learning geography with Padlet
"During geography lessons we use Padlet to see what we want to learn about a subject. It's a kind of notice board where everyone can post text and images. One chapter, for example, is about multicultural America. We post all the concepts we know about this subject in the form of a word web and then add everything we want to learn about it, next to our names. Then, once we've learned it all, we remove it."
9. Create smaller classes
"Ours is quite a busy class, with about 30 students and one teacher. This translates to less attention per student, with the teacher being unable to answer all our questions. Many students are actively involved, but if you're stuck right at the back of the class with your laptop it's too tempting to do something else."
10. Give students freedom, but not too much
"I like the fact that we have so much choice, but we shouldn't be completely free. Given too much freedom, I fear that I wouldn't do as much."

Going to Greece for honeymoon had been my dream and thank you Aegean Dreams for making it come true. They responded quickly to all my enquiries. Joycelyn prepared everything for us and we just sat back and relax with no worries. The complimentary romantic dinner overlooking Santorini's seaview was superb. We also had honeymoon photoshoots and the make-up artist and photographer were very professional. I highly recommend them. It was a memorable trip and both my husband and I had a great time!

(AP) The Grand Forks Herald's editorial voice went from "shrill to sympathetic" after the 1997 Red River flood disaster, the newspaper's publisher and editor says.
"The culture of the newspaper has changed enormously," Mike Jacobs said. "We're much more community friendly now."
The Herald won the Pulitzer Prize for public service for its work in covering the flood and fire that devastated downtown Grand Forks, including the newspaper's offices, in April 1997.
Papers were dropped by plane or trucked to towns where displaced residents were refugees.
The Herald was published at temporary sites for more than a year after the ordeal, but it never missed an edition.
"I'm glad to have experienced it, I wouldn't want to repeat it and I wouldn't wish it on anybody," Jacobs said of the flood and fire. "You learn a lot from that kind of crisis."
The Herald ran the banner headline: "Come Hell and High Water" during the disaster. It has become the unofficial motto of the newspaper, which rebuilt its offices in downtown Grand Forks after the water receded.
The $13 million remodeling project was aimed at making a statement, Jacobs said.
"The city needed a business leader to carry the message that the city could - and would - be rebuilt," Jacobs said.
A 97-foot clock tower now tops the newspaper's offices downtown, reflecting the year of the disaster. A 54-foot tall entrance rotunda symbolizes the high-water mark of the flood, and 19-point sundial patterns on the floors signify April 19, 1997, the day much of the city was evacuated.
Many of the more than 50 newsroom employees, who suffered their own personal losses in the flood, grew closer as a result of the flood, said Kevin Grinde, the newspaper's managing editor.
"We were a tight-knit group at the time," he said.
The newspaper has a daily circulation of about 30,000, though the circulation has dropped slightly in the years after the flood, Jacobs said. The Herald also went through a round of job cuts and was put up for sale in 2006 when McClatchy Co. included it among a dozen former Knight Ridder Inc. newspapers to be sold because they were not considered to be in rapidly growing markets. The Herald was bought by Forum Communications Co., the owner of its competitor, The Forum in Fargo.
Since the flood, about half the newsroom staff have moved on, some able to parlay their participation in winning the Pulitzer Prize to jobs at larger newspapers, Grinde said.
The Herald, which celebrated its 125th birthday in 2004, now has about 200 employees, Jacobs said. The Pulitzer has helped lure applicants, Grinde said.
Grinde and sports editor Kevin Fee went to Biloxi, Miss., in 2005 to help the Sun Herald publish its daily paper in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Staff reporters also were sent to help publish newspapers for then owner-Knight Ridder during Hurricane Rita.
"We've all been there and done that, and since we had the experience, we were able to jump right in," Grinde said.
Fee said the news staff at the Sun Herald welcomed the help.
"It was a little easier to communicate with them because they knew you had been there before," Fee said.
"The Grand Forks people were just an asset that we could not have done without," said Kate Magandy, city editor for the Sun Herald. "They knew what it was like and what needed to be done."
"These folks came in and not only gave our staff some much-needed time to get their lives in order but also helped get the news out," Magandy said. "We couldn't have done it without them."

Fayemi Reinstates Five Retired Permanent Secretaries
by Alexander | Nov 21, 2018 | Ekiti | 0 comments
The Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has reinstated five permanent secretaries who were retired from the state civil service by the immediate past administration of Mr Ayodele Fayose.
Their reinstatement followed the hearing of their petitions by the National Human Rights Commission, which declared that they were unfairly treated.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Yinka Oyebode, listed the permanent secretaries as Mr Emmanuel Oso, Mr Alfred Ologuntoye, Mr Ayodeji Ajayi, Mrs Funke Falodun, Mr Ayoola Owolabi and Mr Babatunde Alokan.
Oyebode said their reinstatement was effective from November 19, 2018.
He said, "The five permanent secretaries were retired unlawfully in 2014 by the Fayose administration.
"The NHRC also agreed with the petitioners and the state government for their reinstatement and the settlement of all their outstanding salaries and allowances for the period of their illegal termination of appointments.
"Consequently, Governor Fayemi directed that they be reinstated accordingly."

Tracking NBAF: National Bio And Agro-Defense Facility Takes Shape In Kansas
In 2005, the Department of Homeland Security announced plans to replace the old Plum Island Animal Disease Center off Long Island with a facility on the U.S. mainland to study Foot and Mouth Disease and other dangerous pathogens. Kansas won the job in 2008, with a site on the campus of Kansas State University in Manhattan.But today, more than three years later, the proposed $1.14 billion National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility faces funding obstacles, safety questions, rising costs and political fallout. For Kansas and the Midwest, the stakes couldn't be higher.Here you'll find coverage and updates from Harvest Public Media, KCUR and Kansas Public Media.
Indictment Handed Down For Alleged Embezzlement At K-State
The former office manager for an animal disease research lab at Kansas State University faces a maximum of 10 years in jail and $750,000 in fines if convicted of embezzling federal funds.
Linda Kay Miller, 51, of Alma, Kan. has been indicted on charges of signing federal grant monies over to her own bank account. The funds were to go for research at the Biosecurity Research Center in Pat Roberts Hall at K-State.
U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said Miller allegedly made herself the payee of checks totaling about $13,000.
"The institute would receive grant money from federal programs that was supposed to be used to provide research into infectious disease, threats to livestock, human health, plants, things of that nature," said Grissom.
Miller managed the offices for a BRI research lab from 2007 until 2013, when the FBI began investigating financial irregularities.
The Biosecurity Research Center is a level 3 animal disease lab that has special capabilities that allow it to study large animals. The BRI is designed to work in tandem with the proposed billion dollar National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, up a small hill from the BRI.

Where can I get help with unity and c# problems, except for unity answers or brackeys forum. Because I have been asking the same question every day for three days and no one, no one has been responding or helping me.
Well, you can get help here, but you should first learn how to ask proper questions.
First make sure you format them correctly. You underlined a massive single-line text which turns that line into a header (html h1) which makes the question unreadable. One of your questions got already closed by a moderator for exactly that reason. The reason is stated at the top where it says "closed".
Don't post the same question multiple times. Especially when it's literally a copy&paste of the same post. You can edit your question at any time to improve your question if you have new information. Editing the question will automatically bump the question.
Don't use teasing / provoking titles like "If you call yourself a game developer. Help". Titles are ment to summarize your specific problem / question. A title like this adds no value to the question.
Questions should address a specific problem where you're stuck. Generic questions that basically ask for us to simply do the work for you don't belong here.
The more efford you put into your question and the more we can see you actually spends some time on solving your problem on your own, the more likely you get help.
Finally keep in mind that we (the community) are spread around the globe. When you ask a question it's possible that at that time nobody (who might be able to answer) has seen your question. There are far more people asking questions than answering them. Most of those who answer questions here do this in their free time without getting paid. UnityAnswer is not an official support site. Again i strongly recommend you read through the FAQs especially "What if I don't get a good answer?" and "Why did my question get closed or rejected?"
Thanks for your response but when you said "You underlined a massive single-line text which turns that line into a header (html h1) which makes the question unreadable. " what did you mean.
Ive answerd your question and left you a script, try it out!

Q: Writing text inside Venn Diagrams I found this question which is extremely cool and amazing
How to plot Venn diagrams with Mathematica?
which also helped me in plotting and creating Venn Diagrams.
But there is something that is missing, and it's: "How to write something inside the diagrams?"
For example, if I wanted to write a text inside the coloured zones in the figure below, how shall I do?
Mathematica code used: the one in the accepted answer given in the linked question.
Venn Diagram:
VennDiagram2[3,
Subscript[A, 1] && Subscript[A, 2] && Subscript[A, 3] ||
Subscript[A, 2]]

Let's for example insert RED in the bigger zone, and GREEN, VIOLET, BLUE, BLACK; WHITE and so on in the other ones..

A: For a fast way, just use the DRAWING TOOLS box.
Click with the right key (if you have a mouse) or double click in the Mac texpad, and open the drawing tools box.
Choose TEXT at the top right of the window and then choose the region of the diagram in which you want to write something.
Once you did it, go in the "TEXT" section (under the Arrowheads section) and choose for DIMENSION to enlarge, and remove the DRAW BACKGROUND by clicking on the small box of the option.
Here you are done :D

During my visit to Sendai (Japan) I also visited Tohoku University's Natural History museum. The structures developed during the evolution and formed in block copolymer systems bare sometimes a striking similarity. This is one of reasons why I find research of bio-inspired systems so fascinating. And to do that one needs Natural Philosophy or Physics. At the end of my stay in Sendai, Dr Takashi Honda visited Sendai as well, and we had a couple of days of discussions on the new MPI based version of SUSHI (OCTA) code and Physics we can study with it.

This documentary recounts filmmaker Pierre Sidaoui's immigration journey from the small Lebanese town of Abey to Montreal, the city he now calls home. Sidaoui had a carefree childhood, but civil war forced him and his family to flee Lebanon in 1982, the first in a series of moves that would ultimately separate him from his parents, brother and sisters. Two decades later, Sidaoui pauses to reflect. His precious family photos, carefully kept in a shoebox, bring forth a flood of memories - of family, landscapes, music and war. A touching meditation on the pursuit of happiness and the immigrant experience.
