Angiogenic factors and inflammation in steroid-refractory acute graft-vs-host disease
Shernan G. Holtan, Mukta Arora
Medicine - Hematology, Oncology, Transplant
Steroid-refractory acute graft-vs-host disease (aGVHD) remains a frequent and often fatal complication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Recent evidence suggests that angiogenic factors - growth factors that contribute to blood vessel development - may be involved in tissue healing and restitution after inflammatory insults such as aGVHD. However, some angiogenic factors may also be involved in inflammation and worsen clinical outcomes. In this review, we summarize the data relevant to angiogenic factors that may contribute to healing after aGVHD (epidermal growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor A) and angiogenic factors that may promote inflammation after aGVHD (placental growth factor and follistatin). It is currently unknown whether changes in these factors are a cause or a consequence of aGVHD. Mechanistic studies in the coming years will clarify their roles and identify new pathways for improving outcomes in steroid-refractory aGVHD.

I've been noticing some hotlinking to pics on my site, mostly from totally unrelated forums.
I read that .htaccess can slow things down when it is in the root since every file read has to check with .htaccess. I then looked into httpd.conf. I'm a bit fuzzy on the exact code to put in there.
1. Put the code you see above in access.conf.
2. Remove the # from the line in httpd.conf that references the access.conf file (I think that will 'unremark' the line to allow apache to see access.conf. let me know if I am wrong.
3. Went into the westhost control panel and restarted vps. From what I read the httpd.conf gets read at startup. Am I correct in assuming that this restarts the virtual server?
1. Does anyone have a sample of code to go into httpd.conf or access.conf to stop hotlinking?
2. I understand that you want to only block referrers other than your site and you want to allow blank referrers (i.e google.) Does anyone know if an httpd.conf file blocking will do this?
3. Where in the httpd.conf file do you put the anti hotlinking code?
I've been working on this for a couple of hours and I am at my wit's end.
I'd appreciate any thoughts or advice.
I have used the .htaccess file in my image directory in the past and it has worked fine. It was similiar to yours although I displayed an alternate image instead. You can see the example here http://wildjokerdesign.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=47 .
I have never tried adding it to the httpd.conf file. You are right that when you make changes to the httpd.conf file that you want to resart the VPS for the changes to take effect and doing so via the Site Manager should take care of that.
You can also turn on the RewriteLog if you want more information about what is happening.
I read that .htaccess can slow things down when it is in the root since every file read has to check with .htaccess.
This is true, but unless you are running a very high traffic site, it is probably not a great concern for you.
I then looked into httpd.conf. I'm a bit fuzzy on the exact code to put in there.
There is no point in doing this. I put my code in a file called 'myrules.conf' and then include that file from httpd.conf. If you use access.conf it may get overwritten if WH ever does an upgrade.
'access.conf' is an 'officially deprecated file' and not normally used. It is only there for backward compatibility.
I use essentially the same code as you do above. I first put the code into the directory I wanted protected and when I was happy it was all working correctly, then I moved it into httpd.conf.
Actually, I moved it into a file /etc/httpd/conf/myrules.conf and then included that file into the httpd.conf file, but its the same effect.
If you want to allow blank referrers then remove the line that checks for the emtpy referrer string.
I just have it at the end of the file. It can appear in different places depending on what effect you want it to have and to what directories/servers you want it to apply, but I think in your case it can just go at the end.

DENTON (UNT), Texas - Lindsay Jacques, a second-year student in the University of North Texas Master of Public Administration degree program, has received a $5,000 Lynn F. Anderson Fellowship in Government Finance from the Government Finance Officers Association of Texas.
Established in 1933, the association, or GFOAT, is an affiliate organization of the Texas Municipal League, which represents 98 percent of Texas' urban population through its 1,100 member cities and towns. GFOAT's mission is to enhance the quality of local government finance, to assist and support local government finance professionals in Texas and to promote the public service profession.
Jacques previously received her bachelor's degree in 2013 from UNT's College of Business, majoring in business integrated studies, economics and human resources.
"Being a public servant, specifically in finance, is of great interest to me. Financial officers are essential for helping to manage budgets for things that help cities operate, such as roads and trash service," she said. "This fellowship means that city finance managers see the potential in me to make my mark in the profession."
Jacques will be honored at GFOAT's annual conference and will be invited to meetings as a member. She is currently working in an internship with the City of SouthIake City Manager's Office and as a legal assistant in the Law Offices of John C. Rentz in Denton. In addition to the Lynn F. Anderson Fellowship, Jacques has received scholarships from Women in Public Finance Texas, the Hatton W. Sumner Foundation in Dallas and, most recently, the 2017 William J. Pitstick Scholarship from Urban Management Assistants of North Texas.
Jacques will receive her master of public administration degree in May 2018 and plans to eventually become a city manager.

04 Aug The Phyllis Shafer Experience
Posted at 21:43h in August | September 2013, Features | Richard Polsky 0 Comments
I USED TO THINK IF I SAW ONE MORE SOUTHWESTERN LANDSCAPE, I'd go crazy. Then I came across my first Phyllis Shafer painting.
Landscape painters strive to create a mood through a sense of place. Works can conjure awe, like viewing a majestic Albert Bierstadt painting of the Yosemite Valley or a Thomas Moran romantic sunset over the Hudson River. By contrast, Neil Welliver's impressions of Maine offer moments of quiet contemplation. What unites all of the great landscape artists is how they awaken long-dormant feelings in viewers. Phyllis Shafer's work makes me want to call my travel agent. In today's high-tech, social media-infatuated world, landscape painting seems antiquated, almost out of touch with the times. That's what makes Shafer's work so special. Most contemporary landscapes feel apologetic. It's as if the artist is saying, "I know I shouldn't being doing this, but I just can't help myself." With a fearless interpretation of the great outdoors, Shafer takes the opposite tack. Though highly personal, her imagery is universal enough to connect with the viewer.
Shafer funnels her paintings through a filter that distorts and bends the scenery to reflect how she experiences it. Like the hallucinatory water-
colors of Charles Burchfield, Shafer sends out undulating waves of color, which quickly imbed themselves in the viewer's psyche. Commenting on her work's affinities to Burchfield, Shafer admits, "I love his fanciful response to nature — you can hear the crickets and raindrops. For me, his paintings are about sound."
"I feel a strong connection to the American Modernist painters like Marsden Hartley, Arthur Dove and the lesser-known Canadian artist Emily Carr. But the greatest influence on my work has been plein air painting," she explains.
"Through direct observation, you understand the essence of a place. I begin all of my pictures outdoors and complete them in the studio. A finished work is concerned with how I feel about a landscape more than how it looks."
My own favorite Shafers are the Southwestern landscapes, such as Prickly Pear Evening, which reads like a compendium of Sonoran desert flora: saguaros, creosote trees, chollas, prickly pear cacti and ocotillo. These exotic succulents create a bond with anyone who has ever walked the land surrounding Tucson — and often with those who haven't. It's a little like having a déjà vu moment; you know you've been there before, whether in your dreams or in person.
Shafer's body of work can be split between realism and those paintings that cross over into stylized abstraction. Her most realistic pictures depict scenery she viewed for the very first time. When a spot proves particularly productive, she'll return and continue to mine it. With these repeated efforts, the imagery begins to weave back and forth between fantasy and reality. A good example is Upper Truckee Gambol, a panorama literally from the artist's own backyard. The stream's expanding bands of color have a psychedelic quality. Yet, the marbleized water is counterbalanced by a tightly rendered forest of conifers. It's this contrast between traditional land-scape painting and cutting-edge contemporary art that gives the work its creative tension.
Shafer has a mainstream art background. She did her undergraduate work at the State University of New York and received her master of fine arts degree from the University of California at Berkeley, where she studied under Bay Area painters Christopher Brown and Joan Brown (no relation). Upon graduation, Shafer was determined to support herself by teaching. She bounced around a bit, eventually finding a home at Lake Tahoe Community College. She currently teaches full-time and serves as the department chairwoman, yet somehow carves out enough space in her hectic schedule to paint.
Shafer has the enviable track record of selling everything she produces, and is effusive in her praise of Turkey Stremmel, her primary dealer, at the Stremmel Gallery in Reno. "She's been a great influence, liberating me to allow the work to go where it goes. Turkey made it clear to me that she'll stick with it." That's a bigger deal than it sounds. In these market-obsessed times, many dealers pressure their most established artists to keep producing what's been selling, rather than take risks that allow for growth. A long-term commitment from Stremmel has allowed Shafer to continue to expand her scope.
For Stremmel, that commitment and growth is rewarding for artist and viewer alike. "When you look at her paintings, you feel like you can walk through them. They take you on a mysterious journey. Every time you stand in front of one, you see something new." That, of course, is the key to art that survives the test of time.
As her career takes her across the country, and across the ocean, Shafer's work is continuing to evolve. "In some ways, I feel like I'm about to enter a transitional phase. Next year, I'll be taking a short sabbatical from teaching and plan to travel to Italy and paint. I also applied for an artist-in-residency program at Ucross in Wyoming. You may not know this, but our national parks also have residency programs. I'm looking into one at Joshua Tree National Park."
But will her travels bring wildlife or people into her land-scapes? "I'm open to including other 'participants' in the natural world. It just can't feel staged — it has to feel right. Basically, when I get out in nature I want to get away from people. The torqued perspective in my paintings evolved because I see things that way. It's largely due to being alone with the natural world."
In 2014, Phyllis Shafer will be honored with a mid-career retrospective at the Nevada Museum of Art. According to the curator of the exhibition, Ann Wolfe, "Shafer's paintings capture the sublimely beautiful spirit of the Western land-scape, reflecting a broad range of art, historical influences and inspirations." It will be a substantial exhibition that will occupy a 6,500-square-foot gallery. The show is designed to highlight the evolution of the work and will include a number of little-seen early paintings. Wolfe described these canvases as nature-based, but "inward looking."
With an upcoming museum show, solid gallery representation and a long list of collectors waiting for the next painting, Phyllis Shafer appears to have achieved everything an artist can want. But she doesn't plan to stand pat; there's still a hunger to gradually push the work in new directions.
Shafer's art reminds me of a fine bottle of red wine. The first sip is always good, but as the wine opens up, the next few tastes grow richer and deeper. I've enjoyed Shafer's work to date, but I have a feeling each new painting represents another sip of a great wine, with many more future pleasures remaining in the bottle.

This is a custom cast iron bistro table we reproduced off of a set of table we imported from France. We imported a set of 7 matching Art Nouveau bistro tables and they sold in a matter of days. The tables were so attractive we decided to reproduce them. We took more than 50 measurements in order to guarantee the accuracy to the originals and spent 6 months perfecting the mould. This new custom line is a Gatz exclusive. Table base is also shown with an optional honed Italian marble top (not included in the price of the base). The table base can be used in its raw iron finish or painted to whatever color you prefer. The table base itself measures 46" long x 19" wide x 28" tall.


About 9 years ago, I decided to become a vegan. I was 26 years old at the time and started feeling disgusted by meat. It really had not much to do with health, and more to do with realizing exactly how the animals I was eating were being cared for and slaughtered. The entire industry made me physically ill, and I had to stop all connection to it. I slowly, over a period of about a year, eliminated all animal products from my diet. All meat, all dairy and all the products that had animals ingredients hidden in them, like gelatin.
I lost weight and looked and felt better then I had ever in my entire life. Within the next few years, I also realized I had a gluten intolerance and eliminated all gluten from my diet. Then I became pregnant at 29 and started craving meat again. I allowed myself to eat organic grass fed meat during my pregnancy because I didn't know how else to receive the iron that I felt so in need of.
Then the slippery slope started to bring me down. After I gave birth I found myself reaching for acidic choices like meat and caffeine to keep me going. I originally wrote this article at that time, in March of 2012, as a guide to help me realize the acidic foods that I had started to rely on for energy and replace them with more alkaline foods. I suffered from a number of health problems after my pregnancy including chronic fatigue, anxiety and frequent cold like symptoms. I knew it was directly related to my diet.
WHAT IS AN ALKALINE DIET PLAN?
An alkaline diet plan is not about actually going on a 'diet', in the traditional way we think of a diet. It is more about integrating more alkaline foods into your diet. An alkaline food is a food that when digested, releases an alkaline base into your blood. Acidic foods do the opposite. Your body functions best when you are eating fruits and vegetables that are a balance between alkaline and acidic.
There are some more extreme Alkaline Diets that suggest you eliminate all acidic fruits and vegetables from your diet, or eat them sparingly. If you have a medical condition, or if you consume a diet of animal products and processed foods, then this type of diet may work for you. However, the advice here is meant to support you in creating a plan for integrating more alkaline foods into your diet. I also recommend detoxifying from animal and dairy products.
The traditional American, Canadian and European diets are very acidic. Processed foods, sugar, soda, meat, dairy, alcohol and caffeine are examples of acidic foods. These foods force your cells, organs and tissues to work harder. This is why you may be watching the fat, calories, carbohydrates and protein you bring into your body, but still feel low on energy.
Acidic foods can decrease your energy level and leave you feeling sluggish and foggy. Alkaline foods neutralize acid in your body. Both acid and alkaline compounds are produced simultaneously in your body. Your body functions better when it has more alkalinity than acidity. Nutritionists advocating an alkaline diet plan advise that you consume 75 percent of all of your food from alkaline sources such as fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, nuts and rice.
To keep my body going strong and flowing through my day, I begin with an alkaline Superfood Smoothie.
Fruit smoothies can be prepared ahead of time and are more satisfying to the cells of your body than juice.
You can also easily add green powdered algae products such as chlorella and spirulina or any leftover raw veggies in small amounts to fruit smoothies. Mixing veggies in with fruits is an excellent way to eat more vegetables and a great way to get kids to eat their greens.
Make a pledge to stop buying store-bought juice or tea, which is usually sweetened with processed sugar.
Make another pledge to eliminate processed sugar, which operates as an acidic force in your body.
Alkaline Diet Plan Stage 2: Veggies for Lunch!
I try to always have almonds, sunflower seeds, walnuts, and cashews on hand for snacking. Each of these is inexpensive and easy to find.
If you don't have any healthy nut recipes that you make, Make cashew butter. I have been making cashew butter, and it's pretty darn amazing and just makes everything more satisfying! Put it on top of pretty much anything: apples, celery, or chopped veggies rolled in seaweed, Yum!
Most traditional proteins, including meat, fish, shellfish, and eggs are acidic. It is possible to consume all the protein you need in a day without eating animal products or dairy. However, in order to do this you need to eat ALOT more greens. Leafy greens is where you will get the majority of your proteins. There are so many different green vegetables to eat, it takes some time to start to make more green dinners, but it is well worth the effort!
Stir fries are a simple way to incorporate veggies that you are unfamiliar with into your diet. Start with the freshest vegetables you can find at the market, chop them up and saute on low to medium heat in a large pan with high-quality extra virgin olive oil. Add quinoa for a quick meal.
Oils, cheese and meats are rich in flavor, but their acidic nature can be difficult on your digestive system. Spices, herbs and teas can provide you with the flavor your body needs and bring harmony back to your internal organs. Cinnamon, curry, ginger, mustard, chili pepper, sea salt, miso, tamari and all herbs are all alkaline. Fill your cupboards with these ingredients and challenge yourself to integrate them into your daily meals.
The easiest way to integrate new items into your diet is to buy them first and let their presence in your home inspire you! Making drinks ahead of time so that you are not drawn to packaged beverages is also a great way to keep your body aligned. Prepare green tea, herbal tea, dandelion tea, ginseng tea, banchi tea or Kombucha with lemon and honey to have on hand for sipping throughout your day and for keeping your energy high without coffee, which is acidic.
For example, when I instinctively want a coffee, I stop tune into my body and ask; what do I really want right now? The answer is always energy. So I can stop myself, make a cup of ginseng, or green tea with raw honey. This is an easier choice on my body and still gives me the energy that I was really looking for in the coffee.
The most important thing to remember when beginning an alkaline diet plan is that you don't have to eat 100% of your foods one way or another. This diet plan is simply a guide to help you make healthier choices in your diet. So have fun with it, buy some things you've never heard of, make some new recipes! I think the most fun is paying attention to how good your body feels when you feed it high energy foods! I would say this is what I notice the most after transitioning to an alkaline diet, I have a higher sustained energy throughout the day.
I would love to hear from you if you have adopted an alkaline diet plan to hear about any suggestions or great meal ideas you have! Leave a comment below to keep the conversation going!


I am enormously cynical when it comes to Ryanair. However, this has lightened somewhat in recent years, principally as Michael O'Leary seems to take less delight in irritating customers, seemingly for fun.
My general view is if they work for you – go for it. People taking a stance over "not giving that awful company their money" are only likely to miss out on cheaper flights, and probably need to have a good long hard look at a number of the other companies they do give their money to.
Anyway, if Ryanair offer me value, I will fly with them. So it was with this in mind that I noted with some interest the offer from Ryanair's hotel booking service, Ryanair Rooms, offering 10% of your hotel cost back in Ryanair flight credit.
It seems that this may, on occasion, offer pretty good value.
If, like me, you will take Ryanair flights, it can essentially be viewed as a cash rebate. You'll be spending money on Ryanair flights in the future, and this credit will just replace that.
So, Ryanair Rooms is one to factor in when comparing hotel prices. The 10% pseudo-cash rebate is a pretty hefty discount on your stay.
Clearly, you need to look at the options depending on your requirements, but the key message of this post is don't rule out Ryanair Rooms, if that Ryanair credit is valuable to you, like it is to me.
So, Ryanair Rooms will cost you £2.77 more, but you'll get a Ryanair travel credit of £61.07. You then need to factor in the loss of status benefits, Hilton Honors points etc, but the bottom line is that the hefty rebate offered by Ryanair Rooms may actually make it a compelling booking option.
This is, of course, just one of the millions of examples out there. I strongly recommend that when you're booking a hotel, you give at least a passing thought to Ryanair Rooms: it may just cover your next budget holiday.


Strictly speaking, a vote removing five members of the Potrero planning group for their support of a Blackwater Worldwide training camp means little.
Blackwater officials say they are undeterred by election results announced yesterday morning and still plan to seek county approval for their project. The planning group is only an advisory body, so a vote against the project by a newly reconstituted board of Blackwater opponents won't stop it.
The real decision, probably a year or so away, will come from the county Board of Supervisors. How they will be influenced by the vote this week recalling planning group members by a 2-to-1 margin remains to be seen. Supervisors are prohibited from discussing issues that will come before them.
Raymond Lutz, an El Cajon-area activist who opposes Blackwater, said the vote signifies a public uprising against the company that has come under scrutiny by the public and Congress for its role as a government contractor in Iraq.
Brian Bonfiglio, a Blackwater vice president, said the training camp proposal should be judged based on land-use questions only. He said negative feelings about Blackwater have overtaken the issue.
"I feel bad that people that I believe were serving the community were removed based on political influences," Bonfiglio said.
Blackwater wants to build a law enforcement and military training camp on an 824-acre former chicken ranch. The site would include shooting ranges, a driving track, an armory and a helipad. Many residents of Potrero, which has a population of about 800, say the project will bring noise and traffic to their quiet country town.
The planning group gave an early approval to the project last December. As residents learned of the plans, opposition grew and they started collecting signatures to recall the bulk of the planning group. Bonfiglio said an environmental report on the training camp proposal is expected in late January or February. After the report is released, Blackwater will hold a community forum to discuss the project. Blackwater founder and chairman Erik Prince or president Gary Jackson will lead the discussion, Bonfiglio said.
Emboldened by the vote, recall leader Carl Meyer began talking about the next steps opponents will take. He said approval of the project by supervisors would be "a slap in the face to the public" and suggested supervisors who vote in favor could also be recalled. Registrar of Voters Deborah Seiler officially certified the planning group election results yesterday afternoon. Out of 507 registered voters, 299 cast ballots, a 59 percent turnout.
Planning group chairman Gordon Hammers and members Jerry Johnson, his wife Mary Johnson, Thell Fowler and Janet Wright were removed by margins ranging from 63 to 71 percent.
The five will be replaced by Terry Stephens, Janet Goode, Carl Meyer, William Crawley IV and Tina Mc Cunney, all Blackwater opponents. The new members of the board will join Jan Hedlun, who took office in January and had been the only opponent of Blackwater on the planning group.
Three other planning group seats were vacated when officials determined those people had not been properly appointed. Their replacements will be selected by the planning group for appointment by county supervisors.

Foxhills to host PGA Cup
Surrey club to stage 28th edition of biennial matchplay event between
By ECG Newsdesk
Foxhills Club & Resort has been announced as the host venue for Great Britain & Ireland's eagerly anticipated PGA Cup clash with the United States in 2017.
The Surrey club will stage the 28th playing of the matches which will be contested over three days in a Ryder Cup-style format from September 15-17.
GB&I, under captain Albert MacKenzie, will be bidding to retain the Llandudno Trophy following their historic first triumph on US soil at CordeValle in 2015. Until that win, GB&I had won only once in 14 PGA Cups dating to 1986.
Foxhills, which features two championship courses - the Bernard Hunt and Longcross - is one of the leading resorts in the south of England and the long-standing venue for the Senior PGA Professional Championship.
PGA chief executive Sandy Jones commented: "Foxhills is a perfect venue for the PGA Cup with a great history and a fantastic course that will be ideal to showcase the talents of the leading PGA players from either side of the Atlantic.
"The victory in California last year has really whetted everyone's appetite for this next chapter in this great event.
"With GB&I also having tied at Slaley Hall in 2013, and grabbed victory on the last hole in 2015, it promises to be another equally close fought and exciting contest between the teams."
Marc Hayton, the managing director of Foxhills, added: "The PGA Cup is an excellent showcase of the world's best club professionals and we are delighted to host the 2017 event.
"The transatlantic competition will be hotly contested, and hopefully home advantage will help the GB&I team extend their winning streak!
"We look forward to working closely with the PGA team and making the contest a great success."

More families of Afghan war veterans lost to suicide will receive military honour
The Globe's ongoing investigation of military suicides has uncovered that more than 70 Canadian soldiers and veterans who served on the Afghanistan mission have taken their lives after returning home. Corporal Camilo Sanhueza-Martinez deployed to the Afghanistan war in 2010 and died by suicide in 2014. His family recently received Memorial honours.

Canada will honour more families who lost a loved one to suicide after deploying on the Afghanistan mission in the wake of a military and government review of 31 cases profiled by The Globe and Mail in the fall.
The Globe investigation revealed that only eight of the 31 families had received the Memorial Cross and Sacrifice Medal – created to commemorate soldiers whose deaths are attributable to military service and to pay homage to their families. In many other cases, a military board of inquiry or the Department of Veterans Affairs had determined that the suicides were service-related – in some instances several years ago – but the Afghanistan war veterans and their families had not been recognized.
Lieutenant-Colonel Carl Gauthier, head of honours and recognition for the Canadian Armed Forces, said the military and Veterans Affairs are working to rectify medal oversights and delays. Of the 23 suicides that were being examined as a result of the newspaper's inquiries, at least 10 more military members and their families will be honoured, and another four are likely as their case reviews near an end, he said.

Behind the story: How The Globe set out to commemorate Afghanistan war veterans lost to suicide
Nine remain under review, awaiting documentation or the completion of a military inquiry.
"We all acknowledge that what the family is going through is already very difficult, and when there's a delay, in some cases several years later, this does not help them in their grieving process. We're all conscious of that and we're trying to improve the situation so the family is treated fairly in a timely manner," Lt.-Col. Gauthier said.
Death by suicide is supposed to be treated no differently than a death in combat or training. If it's connected to military service, families are presented with the Memorial Cross and Sacrifice Medal, and their loved one's name is added to the Canadian Virtual War Memorial and inscribed in the Books of Remembrance, which lie in the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill.
But the circumstances surrounding a suicide take longer to probe. When soldiers die on overseas operations, the Memorial honours are presented to families before funeral services, because the deaths are clearly connected to military work, Lt.-Col. Gauthier said.
Some of the Afghanistan war veteran suicides chronicled in The Globe were not on the radar of staff working on medal recognition, Lt.-Col. Gauthier conceded. The fallen members were single and had no children, and thus no Veterans Affairs' review of service-relation for death benefits was triggered. This review is often used to determine whether medals should be awarded.
Lt.-Col. Gauthier said changes have been made to improve co-ordination and communication between the departments, and he hopes such omissions and delays no longer occur. He encouraged families to reach out to the Forces or Veterans Affairs if they believe Memorial honours have been forgotten.
"The people who have given their lives in the service of Canada, they have to be recognized. Their families who suffered a tragic loss have to be recognized for their sacrifice," Lt.-Col. Gauthier said.
The Globe's ongoing investigation of military suicides has uncovered that more than 70 Canadian soldiers and veterans who served on the Afghanistan mission have taken their lives after returning home. Many were struggling with mental illnesses, such as post-traumatic stress disorder and depression.
Families of two of the fallen recently received Memorial honours. Master Corporal Tyson Washburn and Corporal Camilo Sanhueza-Martinez deployed to the Afghanistan war in 2010. Both fathers, they died by suicide just two months apart in 2014.
"It was mixed feelings," MCpl. Washburn's father, David, said of receiving the honours last week. "They wouldn't acknowledge [Tyson's death by suicide]. Now they're giving us a medal."
A member of the 1st Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment based in Petawawa, Ont., MCpl. Washburn was a cook in Afghanistan. His father said he struggled with post-traumatic stress after his return.
Other families are waiting for commemoration, including those of Sergeant Paul Martin, Sergeant Doug McLoughlin and Captain Brad Elms. All three were long-time soldiers and had completed multiple overseas tours, including Afghanistan. They were coping with mental illnesses when they died by suicide – Sgt. Martin in 2011, Sgt. McLoughlin in 2013, and Capt. Elms in 2014. Their deaths have been ruled attributable to their military work.
On Tuesday, Canadian military members who died by suicide will be remembered in candlelight ceremonies in eight communities in five provinces, including in Victoria, Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City and Oromocto, N.B, near the Gagetown military base.
Started in 2013 by a small group called Honour our Canadian Soldiers, the Feb. 21 "Soldiers of Suicide" memorials have grown each year. Veterans Affairs Minister Kent Hehr attended last year's ceremony at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa.
"We want families to know they're not alone," group founder Lise Charron said.
With the permission of families, 22 names of military members who ended their lives will be read out at Tuesday's ceremonies. Remembering those lost to suicide shouldn't be taboo, Ms. Charron said. "It's letting everybody else know that finally we can talk about this."

Git Your Game On

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Gazler/githug.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/Gazler/githug) [![Code Climate](https://codeclimate.com/github/Gazler/githug.svg)](https://codeclimate.com/github/Gazler/githug)

## About
Githug is designed to give you a practical way of learning git.  It has a series of levels, each requiring you to use git commands to arrive at a correct answer.

## Playing Githug

Githug should work on Linux, OS X and Windows.

### Prerequisites

Githug requires Ruby 1.8.7 or higher.

You can check which version of Ruby is installed with the following command:

```
ruby --version
```

If ruby is not installed, follow the installation instructions on [ruby-lang.org](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/installation/).

### Installation

To install Githug, run

    gem install githug

If you get a complaint about permissions, you can rerun the command with `sudo`:

    sudo gem install githug

#### Usage with Docker

An unofficial _Docker_ image for this project by [@odiraneyya](https://github.com/odiraneyya) is available on ([Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/orwa84/githug)).

### Starting the Game

After the gem is installed change directory to the location where you want the game-related assets to be stored.
Then run `githug`:

    githug

You will be prompted to create a directory.

    No githug directory found, do you wish to create one? [yn]

Type `y` (yes) to continue, `n` (no) to cancel and quit Githug.

### Commands

Githug has 4 game commands:

 * play - The default command, checks your solution for the current level
 * hint - Gives you a hint (if available) for the current level
 * reset - Reset the current level or reset the level to a given name or path
 * levels - List all the levels

## Change Log

The change log is available on the wiki.  [Change log](https://github.com/Gazler/githug/wiki/Change-Log)

## Contributing

To suggest a level or create a level that has been suggested, check out [the wiki](https://github.com/Gazler/githug/wiki).

 Get yourself on the [contributors list](https://github.com/Gazler/githug/contributors) by doing the following:

 * Fork the repository
 * Make a level in the levels directory (covered below)
 * Add your level to the LEVELS array inside `lib/githug/level.rb` in a position that makes sense (the "commit" level after the "add" and "init" levels for example)
 * Make sure your level works (covered below)
 * Submit a pull request

## Todo List

 * A follow-up to the level, more information on a specific command, etc.
 * More levels!

## Writing Levels

Githug has a DSL for writing levels. Here is an example:

```ruby
difficulty 1
description "There is a file in your folder called README, you should add it to your staging area"

setup do
  repo.init
  FileUtils.touch("README")
end

solution do
  return false unless repo.status.files.keys.include?("README")
  return false if repo.status.files["README"].untracked

  true
end

hint do
  puts "You can type `git` in your shell to get a list of available git commands"
end
```

 `difficulty`, `description` and `solution` are required.

You can include multiple hints like this:

```ruby
hints [
  "You can type `git` in your shell to get a list of available git commands",
  "Check the man for `git add`"]
```

 By default, `setup` will remove all files from the game folder.  You do not need to include a setup method if you don't want an initial git repository (if you are testing `git init` or only checking an answer.)

 You can call `repo.init` to initialize an empty repository.

 All methods called on `repo` are sent to the [grit gem](https://github.com/mojombo/grit) if the method does not exist, and you can use that for most git related commands (`repo.add`, `repo.commit`, etc.).

Another method exists called `init_from_level` and it is used like so:

```ruby
setup do
  init_from_level
end
```

This will copy the contents of a repository specified in the levels folder for your level.  For example, if your level is called "merge" then it will copy the contents of the "merge" folder.  It is recommended that you perform the following steps:

 * mkdir "yourlevel"
 * cd "yourlevel"
 * git init
 * some git stuff
 * **important** rename ".git" to ".githug" so that it isn't treated as a submodule
 * cd "../"
 * git add "yourlevel"

After doing this, your level should be able to copy the contents from that git repository and use those for your level.  See the "blame" level for an example of this.

## Testing Levels

The easiest way to test a level is:

 * Change into your git_hug repository
 * Run `githug reset PATH_TO_YOUR_LEVEL`
 * Solve the level
 * Run `githug test PATH_TO_YOUR_LEVEL`

Please note that the `githug test` command can be run as `githug test --errors` to get an error stack trace from your solve method.

It would be ideal if you add an integration test for your level.  These tests live in `spec/githug_spec` and **must** be run in order.  If you add a level but do not add a test, please add a simple `skip_level` test case similar to the `contribute` level.
