1 INDICATIONS & USAGE
Nitroglycerin Lingual Spray is indicated for acute relief of an attack or prophylaxis of angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease.
2 DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION
Instruct the patient to administer one or two metered sprays (400 mcg of nitroglycerin per spray) at the onset of an attack onto or under the tongue. A spray may be repeated approximately every five minutes as needed. No more than three metered sprays are recommended within a 15-minute period. If the chest pain persists after a total of three sprays, advise prompt medical attention. Nitroglycerin Lingual Spray may be used prophylactically 5 to 10 minutes prior to engaging in activities that might precipitate an acute attack.
The pump must be primed prior to the first use. Each metered spray of Nitroglycerin Lingual Spray delivers 48 mg of solution containing 400 mcg of nitroglycerin after an initial priming of five sprays. It will remain adequately primed for 6 weeks. If the product is not used within 6 weeks it can be adequately re-primed with one spray. If the product is not used within 3 months it can be adequately re-primed with up to five sprays. There are 60 or 200 metered sprays per bottle. The total number of available doses is dependent, however, on the number of sprays per use (1 or 2 sprays), and the frequency of priming.
Instruct patients that during administration, the patient should rest, ideally in the sitting position. Hold the container vertically with the valve head uppermost and the spray orifice as close to the mouth as possible. Spray the dose preferably onto or under the tongue by pressing the grooved-button firmly and the mouth closed immediately after each dose. THE SPRAY SHOULD NOT BE INHALED. The medication should not be expectorated or the mouth rinsed for 5 to 10 minutes following administration. Instruct patients to familiarize themselves with the position of the spray orifice, which can be identified by the finger rest on top of the valve, in order to facilitate orientation for administration at night [see Patient Information (17)].
The amount of liquid remaining in the container should be checked periodically. The transparent container can be used for continuous monitoring of the consumption. With the container upright and level, check to be sure the end of the center tube extends below the level of the liquid. Once fluid falls below the level of the center tube, remaining sprays will not deliver intended dose.
3 DOSAGE FORMS & STRENGTHS
Lingual spray, 400 mcg per spray available in either 60 or 200 metered sprays per container.
Do not use Nitroglycerin Lingual Spray in patients who are taking PDE-5 inhibitors, such as avanafil, sildenafil, tadalafil, or vardenafil. Concomitant use can cause severe hypotension, syncope, or myocardial ischemia [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].
Do not use Nitroglycerin Lingual Spray in patients who are taking the soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator riociguat. Concomitant use can cause hypotension.
Nitroglycerin Lingual Spray is contraindicated in patients with severe anemia (large doses of nitroglycerin may cause oxidation of hemoglobin to methemoglobin and could exacerbate anemia).
Nitroglycerin Lingual Spray may precipitate or aggravate increased intracranial pressure and thus should not be used in patients with possible increased intracranial pressure (e. g. cerebral hemorrhage or traumatic brain injury).
Nitroglycerin Lingual Spray is contraindicated in patients who are allergic to nitroglycerin, other nitrates or nitrites or any excipient.
Nitroglycerin Lingual Spray is contraindicated in patients with acute circulatory failure or shock.
Excessive use may lead to the development of tolerance. Only the smallest number of doses required for effective relief of the acute angina attack should be used [see Dosage and Administration (2.1)].
Severe hypotension, particularly with upright posture, may occur even with small doses of nitroglycerin particularly in patients with constrictive pericarditis, aortic or mitral stenosis, patients who may be volume-depleted, or are already hypotensive. Hypotension induced by nitroglycerin may be accompanied by paradoxical bradycardia and increased angina pectoris. Symptoms of severe hypotension (nausea, vomiting, weakness, pallor, perspiration and collapse/syncope) may occur even with therapeutic doses.
Nitrate therapy may aggravate the angina caused by hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
Nitroglycerin produces dose-related headaches, especially at the start of nitroglycerin therapy, which may be severe and persistent but usually subside with continued use.
Adverse reactions occurring at a frequency greater than 2% and greater than placebo included: headache, dizziness, and paresthesia.
The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of nitroglycerin lingual spray and other nitroglycerin drugs. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to estimate their frequency reliably or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Neurologic: weakness, drowsiness
Dermatologic: cutaneous vasodilation, flushing, drug rash, exfoliative dermatitis
Gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting
Respiratory: transient hypoxemia
Cardiovascular: tachycardia
Nitroglycerin Lingual Spray is contraindicated in patients who are using a selective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). PDE5 inhibitors such as avanafil, sildenafil, vardenafil, and tadalafil have been shown to potentiate the hypotensive effects of organic nitrates.
The time course and dose dependence of these interactions have not been studied, and use within a few days of one another cannot be recommended. Appropriate supportive care for the severe hypotension has not been studied, but it seems reasonable to treat this as a nitrate overdose, with elevation of the extremities and with central volume expansion.
Patients receiving antihypertensive drugs, beta-adrenergic blockers, and nitrates should be observed for possible additive hypotensive effects. Marked orthostatic hypotension has been reported when calcium channel blockers and organic nitrates were used concomitantly.
Beta-adrenergic blockers blunt the reflex tachycardia produced by nitroglycerin without preventing its hypotensive effects. If beta-blockers are used with nitroglycerin in patients with angina pectoris, additional hypotensive effects may occur.
Oral administration of nitroglycerin markedly decreases the first-pass metabolism of dihydroergotamine and subsequently increases its oral bioavailability. Ergotamine is known to precipitate angina pectoris. Therefore, patients receiving sublingual nitroglycerin should avoid ergotamine and related drugs or be monitored for symptoms of ergotism if this is not possible.
Pregnancy Category C -
Animal teratology studies have not been conducted with nitroglycerin lingual spray. Teratology studies in rats and rabbits, however, were conducted with topically applied nitroglycerin ointment at doses up to 80 mg/kg/day and 240 mg/kg/day, respectively.
No toxic effects on dams or fetuses were seen at any dose tested. A teratogenicity study was conducted in the third mating of F0 generation female rats administered dietary nitroglycerin for gestation day 6 to day 15 at dose levels used in the 3-generation reproduction study. In offspring of the high-dose nitroglycerin group, increased incidence of diaphragmatic hernias and decreased hyoid bone ossification were seen. The latter finding probably reflects delayed development rather than a potential teratogenic effect, thus indicating no clear evidence of teratogenicity of nitroglycerin. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Nitroglycerin should be given to pregnant women only if clearly needed.
It is not known whether nitroglycerin is excreted in human milk.
Safety and effectiveness of nitroglycerin in pediatric patients have not been established.
Clinical studies did not include sufficient numbers of subjects aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger subjects. Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between elderly (greater than or equal to 65 years) and younger (less than 65 years) patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should start at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.
Nitrate overdosage may result in: severe hypotension, persistent throbbing headache, vertigo, palpitation, visual disturbance, flushing and perspiring skin (later becoming cold and cyanotic), nausea and vomiting (possibly with colic and even bloody diarrhea), syncope (especially in the upright posture), methemoglobinemia with cyanosis and anorexia, initial hyperpnea, dyspnea and slow breathing, slow pulse (dicrotic and intermittent), heart block, increased intracranial pressure with cerebral symptoms of confusion and moderate fever, paralysis and coma followed by clonic convulsions, and possibly death due to circulatory collapse.
Case reports of clinically significant methemoglobinemia are rare at conventional doses of organic nitrates. The formation of methemoglobin is dose-related and in the case of genetic abnormalities of hemoglobin that favor methemoglobin formation, even conventional doses of organic nitrates could produce harmful concentrations of methemoglobin.
As hypotension associated with nitroglycerin overdose is the result of venodilatation and arterial hypovolemia, prudent therapy in this situation should be directed toward increase in central fluid volume. No specific antagonist to the vasodilator effects of nitroglycerin is known. Keep the patient recumbent in a shock position and comfortably warm. Passive movement of the extremities may aid venous return. Intravenous infusion of normal saline or similar fluid may also be necessary. Administer oxygen and artificial ventilation, if necessary. If methemoglobinemia is present, administration of methylene blue (1% solution), 1-2 mg per kilogram of body weight intravenously, may be required unless the patient is known to have G-6-PD deficiency. If an excessive quantity of Nitroglycerin Lingual Spray has been recently swallowed gastric lavage may be of use.
As epinephrine is ineffective in reversing the severe hypotensive events associated with overdosage, it is not recommended for resuscitation.
Nitroglycerin, an organic nitrate, is a vasodilator which has effects on both arteries and veins. The chemical name for nitroglycerin is 1,2,3-propanetriol trinitrate (C3H5N3O9). The compound has a molecular weight of 227.09. The chemical structure is:
Nitroglycerin Lingual Spray (nitroglycerin lingual spray 400 mcg) is a metered dose spray containing nitroglycerin. This product delivers nitroglycerin (400 mcg per spray, 60 or 200 metered sprays) in the form of spray droplets onto or under the tongue. Inactive ingredients: medium-chain triglycerides, dehydrated alcohol, medium-chain partial glycerides, peppermint oil.
Nitroglycerin forms free radical nitric oxide (NO), which activates guanylate cyclase, resulting in an increase of guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic GMP) in smooth muscle and other tissues. This eventually leads to dephosphorylation of myosin light chains, which regulates the contractile state in smooth muscle and results in vasodilatation.
The principal pharmacological action of nitroglycerin is relaxation of vascular smooth muscle. Although venous effects predominate, nitroglycerin produces, in a dose-related manner, dilation of both arterial and venous beds. Dilation of the postcapillary vessels, including large veins, promotes peripheral pooling of blood, decreases venous return to the heart, and reduces left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (preload). Nitroglycerin also produces arteriolar relaxation, thereby reducing peripheral vascular resistance and arterial pressure (after load), and dilates large epicardial coronary arteries; however, the extent to which this latter effect contributes to the relief of exertional angina is unclear.
Therapeutic doses of nitroglycerin may reduce systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood pressure. Effective coronary perfusion pressure is usually maintained, but can be compromised if blood pressure falls excessively or increased heart rate decreases diastolic filling time.
Elevated central venous and pulmonary capillary wedge pressures, and pulmonary and systemic vascular resistance are also reduced by nitroglycerin therapy. Heart rate is usually slightly increased, presumably a reflex response to the fall in blood pressure. Cardiac index may be increased, decreased, or unchanged. Myocardial oxygen consumption or demand (as measured by the pressure-rate product, tension-time index, and stroke-work index) is decreased and a more favorable supply-demand ratio can be achieved. Patients with elevated left ventricular filling pressure and increased systemic vascular resistance in association with a depressed cardiac index are likely to experience an improvement in cardiac index. In contrast, when filling pressures and cardiac index are normal, cardiac index may be slightly reduced following nitroglycerin administration.
A liver reductase enzyme is of primary importance in the metabolism of nitroglycerin to glycerol di- and mononitrate metabolites and ultimately to glycerol and organic nitrate. Known sites of extrahepatic metabolism include red blood cells and vascular walls. In addition to nitroglycerin, 2 major metabolites, 1,2- and 1,3-dinitroglycerin are found in plasma. The mean elimination half-life of both 1,2- and 1,3-dinitroglycerin is about 40 minutes. The 1,2- and 1,3-dinitroglycerin metabolites have been reported to possess some pharmacological activity, whereas the glycerol mononitrate metabolites of nitroglycerin are essentially inactive. Higher plasma concentrations of the dinitro metabolites, with their nearly 8-fold longer elimination half-lives, may contribute significantly to the duration of pharmacologic effect.
In a pharmacokinetic study when a single 0.8 mg dose of nitroglycerin lingual spray was administered to healthy volunteers (n = 24), the mean Cmax and tmax were 1.041 pg/mL and 7.5 minutes, respectively. Additionally, in these subjects the mean area under the curve (AUC) was 12.769 pg/mL · min.
The volume of distribution of nitroglycerin following intravenous administration is 3.3 L/kg.
Aspirin: Coadministration of nitroglycerin with high dose aspirin (1000 mg) results in increased exposure to nitroglycerin. The vasodilatory and hemodynamic effects of nitroglycerin may be enhanced by concomitant administration of nitroglycerin with high dose aspirin.
Tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA): Concomitant administration of t-PA and intravenous nitroglycerin has been shown to reduce plasma levels of t-PA and its thrombolytic effect.
Animal carcinogenesis studies with sublingual nitroglycerin have not been performed.
Rats receiving up to 434 mg/kg/day of dietary nitroglycerin for 2 years developed dose-related fibrotic and neoplastic changes in liver, including carcinomas, and interstitial cell tumors in testes. At high dose, the incidences of hepatocellular carcinomas in both sexes were 52% vs. 0% in controls, and incidences of testicular tumors were 52% vs. 8% in controls.
Lifetime dietary administration of up to 1058 mg/kg/day of nitroglycerin was not tumorigenic in mice.
Nitroglycerin was weakly mutagenic in Ames tests performed in two different laboratories. There was no evidence of mutagenicity in an in vivo dominant lethal assay with male rats treated with doses up to about 363 mg/kg/day, p.o., or in in vitro cytogenic tests in rat and dog tissues and for chromosomal aberration in Chinese hamster ovary cells.
In a three-generation reproduction study, rats received dietary nitroglycerin at doses up to about 434 mg/kg/day for six months prior to mating of the F0 generation with treatment continuing through successive F1 and F2 generations. The high dose was associated with decreased feed intake and body weight gain in both sexes at all matings. No specific effect on the fertility of the F0 generation was seen. Infertility noted in subsequent generations, however, was attributed to increased interstitial cell tissue and aspermatogenesis in the high-dose males. In this three-generation study there was no clear evidence of teratogenicity.
In a randomized, double-blind single-dose, 5-period cross-over study in 51 patients with exertional angina pectoris significant dose-related increases in exercise tolerance, time to onset of angina and ST-segment depression were seen following doses of 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.6 mg of nitroglycerin delivered by metered pumpspray as compared to placebo.
The drug showed a profile of mild to moderate adverse events.

Eccles fell ill after being poisoned.
Coronation Street viewers said they would boycott the soap if dog Eccles was killed off.
The animal was left seriously ill after being poisoned during Wednesday night's instalment of the ITV soap.
Viewers were gripped as Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) found him lying on the ground in agony.
With his life hanging in the balance, Corrie fans started posted messages on Twitter urging soap bosses not to let him die.
"OMG NOPE CANT HANDLE THIS HELP ECCLES NOW DONT LET HIM DIE," said one.
"If Eccles the dog dies, I'm never watching #Corrie again :)," warned another viewer.
Many praised the dog's acting skills, saying he deserved some accolades for his powerful performance.
"Omg that dog can act!!!" said one person on Twitter.
Omg that dog can act!!!
"Eccles for a British Soap Award," tweeted another.
Luckily, as the soap came to a close, it appeared the dog was going to pull through.

The following tree is built from the keys A, M, E, R, I, C, A, N in that order:
[[File:bst-american.svg|200px]]
The ''root'' of the resulting tree is the node containing the key A. Our ACSL convention places duplicate keys into the tree as if they were less than their equal key. (In some textbooks and software libraries, duplicate keys may be considered larger than their equal key.) The tree has a ''depth'' (sometimes called height) of 3 because the deepest node is 3 nodes below the root. The root node has a depth of 0. Nodes with no children are called leaf nodes; there are four of them in the tree: A, C, I and N. Our ACSL convention is that an ''external node'' is the name given to a place where a new node could be attached to the tree. (In some textbooks, an external node is synonymous with a leaf node.) In the final tree above, there are 9 external nodes; these are not drawn. The tree has an ''internal path length'' of 15 which is the sum of the depths of all nodes. It has an ''external path length'' of 31 which is the sum of the depths of all external nodes. To insert the N (the last key inserted), 3 ''comparisons'' were needed against the root A (>), the M (>), and the R (≤).
These diagrams illustrate the algorithm using the tree above. At the left, we delete I (0 children); in the middle, we delete the R (1 child); and at the right, we delete the M (2 children).

There are also general trees that use the same terminology, but they have 0 or more ''subnodes'' which can be accessed with an array or linked list of pointers. ''Pre-order'' and ''post-order'' traversals are possible with these trees, but the other algorithms do not work in the same way. Applications of general trees include game theory, organizational charts, family trees, etc.
At the heart of virtually every computer program are its algorithms and its data structures. It is hard to separate these two items, for data structures are meaningless without algorithms to create and manipulate them, and algorithms are usually trivial unless there are data structures on which to operate. The bigger the data sets, the more important data structures are in various algorithms.
This category concentrates on four of the most basic structures: stacks, queues, binary search trees, and priority queues. Questions will cover these data structures and implicit algorithms, not specific to implementation language details.
A stack is usually used to save information that will need to be processed later. Items are processed in a "last-in, first-out" (LIFO) order. A queue is usually used to process items in the order in which requests are generated; a new item is not processed until all items currently on the queue are processed. This is also known as "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) order. A binary search tree is used when one is storing items and needs to be able to efficiently process the operations of insertion, deletion, and query (i.e. find out if a particular item is found in the list of items and if not, which item is close to the item in question). A priority queue is used like a binary search tree, except one cannot delete an arbitrary item, nor can one make an arbitrary query. One can only find out or delete the smallest element of the list.
There are many online resources covering these basic data structures; indeed there are many books and entire courses devoted to fundamental data structures. Implementation varies by computer language, but for our purposes, they can all be represented as a list of items that might contain duplicates. The rest of this page is an overview of these structures.
1 Stacks and Queues
2 Trees
3 Priority Queues
4 Sample Problems
4.1 Problem 1
5 Video Resources
5.1 ACSL Videos
5.2 Other Videos
A stack supports two operations: PUSH and POP. A command of the form PUSH("A") puts the key "A" at the top of the stack; the command "X = POP()" removes the top item from the stack and stores its value into variable X. If the stack was empty (because nothing had ever been pushed on it, or if all elements have been popped off of it), then X is given the special value of NIL. An analogy to this is a stack of books on a desk: a new book is placed on the top of the stack (pushed) and a book is removed from the top also (popped). Some textbooks call this data structure a "push-down stack" or a "LIFO stack".
Queues operate just like stacks, except items are removed from the bottom instead of the top. A command of the form PUSH("A") puts the key "A" at the top of the queue; the command "X = POP()" removes the item from the bottom of the queue and stores its value into variable X. If the queue was empty (because nothing had ever been pushed on it, or if all elements have been popped off of it), then X is given the special value of NIL. A good physical analogy of this is the way a train conductor or newspaper boy uses a coin machine to give change: new coins are added to the tops of the piles, and change is given from the bottom of each. Sometimes the top and bottom of a queue are referred to as the rear and the front respectively. Therefore, items are pushed/enqueued at the rear of the queue and popped/dequeued at the front of the queue. There is a similarity to the Britsh "queueing up". Some textbooks refer to this data structure as a "FIFO stack".
Consider the following sequence of 14 operations:
PUSH("A")
PUSH("M")
PUSH("E")
X = POP()
PUSH("R")
PUSH("I")
PUSH("C")
PUSH("N")
If these operations are applied to a stack, then the values of the pops are: E, R, I, M, A and NIL. After all of the operations, there are three items still on the stack: the N is at the top (it will be the next to be popped, if nothing else is pushed before the pop command), and C is at the bottom. If, instead of using a stack we used a queue, then the values popped would be: A, M, E, R, I and NIL. There would be three items still on the queue: N at the top and C on the bottom. Since items are removed from the bottom of a queue, C would be the next item to be popped regardless of any additional pushes.
Trees, in general, use the following terminology: the root is the top node in the tree; children are the nodes that are immediately below a parent node; leaves are the bottom-most nodes on every branch of the tree; and siblings are nodes that have the same immediate parent.
A binary search tree is composed of nodes having three parts: information (or a key), a pointer to a left child, and a pointer to a right child. It has the property that the key at every node is always greater than or equal to the key of its left child, and less than the key of its right child.
The root of the resulting tree is the node containing the key A. Our ACSL convention places duplicate keys into the tree as if they were less than their equal key. (In some textbooks and software libraries, duplicate keys may be considered larger than their equal key.) The tree has a depth (sometimes called height) of 3 because the deepest node is 3 nodes below the root. The root node has a depth of 0. Nodes with no children are called leaf nodes; there are four of them in the tree: A, C, I and N. Our ACSL convention is that an external node is the name given to a place where a new node could be attached to the tree. (In some textbooks, an external node is synonymous with a leaf node.) In the final tree above, there are 9 external nodes; these are not drawn. The tree has an internal path length of 15 which is the sum of the depths of all nodes. It has an external path length of 31 which is the sum of the depths of all external nodes. To insert the N (the last key inserted), 3 comparisons were needed against the root A (>), the M (>), and the R (≤).
To perform an inorder traversal of the tree, recursively traverse the tree by first visiting the left child, then the root, then the right child. In the tree above, the nodes are visited in the following order: A, A, C, E, I, M, N, and R. A preorder travel (root, left, right) visits in the following order: A, A, M, E, C, I, R, and N. A postorder traversal (left, right, root) is: A, C, I, E, N, R, M, A. Inorder traversals are typically used to list the contents of the tree in sorted order.
A binary search tree can support the operations insert, delete, and search. Moreover, it handles the operations efficiently for balanced trees. In a tree with 1 million items, one can search for a particular value in about log2 1,000,000 ≈ 20 steps. Items can be inserted or deleted in about as many steps, too. However, consider the binary search tree resulting from inserting the keys A, E, I, O, U, Y which places all of the other letters on the right side of the root "A". This is very unbalanced; therefore, sophisticated algorithms can be used to maintain balanced trees. Binary search trees are "dynamic" data structures that can support many operations in any order and introduces or removes nodes as needed.
To search for a node in a binary tree, the following algorithm (in pseudo-code) is used:
p = root
while (p ≠ NIL) and (not found)
if (x < p's key)
p = p's left child
else if (x > p's key)
p = p's right child
end while
Deleting from a binary search tree is a bit more complicated. The algorithm we'll use is as follows:
p = node to delete
f = father of p
if (p has no children)
delete p
else if (p has one child)
make p's child become f's child
else if (p has two children)
l = p's left child (it might also have children)
r = p's right child (it might also have children)
make l become f's child instead of p
stick r onto the l tree
There are also general trees that use the same terminology, but they have 0 or more subnodes which can be accessed with an array or linked list of pointers. Pre-order and post-order traversals are possible with these trees, but the other algorithms do not work in the same way. Applications of general trees include game theory, organizational charts, family trees, etc.
Balanced trees minimize searching time when every leaf node has a depth of within 1 of every other leaf node. Complete trees are filled in at every level and are always balanced. Strictly binary trees ensure that every node has either 0 or 2 subnodes. You may want to consider how there are exactly 5 strictly binary trees with 7 nodes.
Priority Queues
A priority queue is quite similar to a binary search tree, but one can only delete the smallest item and retrieve the smallest item only. These insert and delete operations can be done in a guaranteed time proportional to the log (base 2) of the number of items; the retrieve-the-smallest can be done in constant time.
The standard way to implement a priority queue is using a heap data structure. A heap uses a binary tree (that is, a tree with two children) and maintains the following two properties: every node is less than or equal to both of its two children (nothing is said about the relative magnitude of the two children), and the resulting tree contains no "holes". That is, all levels of the tree are completely filled, except the bottom level, which is filled in from the left to the right.
The algorithm for insertion is not too difficult: put the new node at the bottom of the tree and then go up the tree, making exchanges with its parent, until the tree is valid. The heap at the left was building from the letters A, M, E, R, I, C, A, N (in that order); the heap at the right is after a C has been added.
The smallest value is always the root. To delete it (and one can only delete the smallest value), one replaces it with the bottom-most and right-most element, and then walks down the tree making exchanges with the smaller child in order to ensure that the tree is valid. The following pseudo-code formalizes this notion:
b = bottom-most and right-most element
p = root of tree
p's key = b's key
delete b
while (p is larger than either child)
exchange p with smaller child
p = smaller child
When the smallest item is at the root of the heap, the heap is called a min-heap. Of course, A max-heap is also possible and is common in practice. An efficient implementation of a heap uses an array that can be understood conceptually by using a tree data structure.
Sample Problems
Consider an initially empty stack. What is the value of Z when these operations are performed:
PUSH(3)
Y = POP()
PUSH(X-Y)
Z = POP()
Solution: The first POP() stores 8 in Y. The POP() stores 6 in X. Then, 8-6=2 is pushed onto the stack. Finally, the last POP() removes the 2 and stores it in Z.
Create a min-heap with the letters in the word PROGRAMMING. What are the letters in the bottom-most row, from left to right?
Solution: The bottom row contains the letters RORN, from left-to-right. Here is the entire heap:
Create a binary search tree from the letters in the word PROGRAM. What is the internal path length?
Solution: When drawing the tree, P has a depth of 0, O and R have a depth of 1, G and R have a depth of 2, and A and M have a depth of 3. Therefore, the internal path length is 2*1 + 2*2 + 2*3 = 12. Here is the tree:

Mini Biography About Held,Al
Born in Brooklyn in 1928 to Polish immigrants, Al Held claims to have been expelled from high school in the Bronx in 1944. After serving in the U.S. Navy from 1945 to 1947, Held associated with members of the activist group Folksay who viewed art as a forceful medium for political and social protest. Held had also cultivated an interest in visual art, primarily through film, and enrolled in classes at the Arts Students League in 1948 on a stipend from the G.I. Bill. Held's radical convictions were nurtured by his father's Marxist beliefs and regular household political discussions. His earliest work was entirely figurative and shows the influence of Social Realism. Held had planned to study in Mexico with the renowned muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros, whose works' monumental scale and expressive political content inspired him, but was unable to attend after the school lost its G.I. accreditation. Held opted to study instead at the Académie de la grande chaumière in Paris. Before leaving for France, Held was impressed by Jackson Pollock's paintings in New York, but it was not until he arrived in Paris that he completely abandoned figuration.
In Paris Held took classes with the sculptor Ossip Zadkine at the academy and became part of the American expatriate circle that included artists Sam Francis, Ellsworth Kelly, Joan Mitchell, Haywood "Bill" Rivers, and George Sugarman, among others. Held received his first solo exhibition of small abstract works in Paris at the artist-run Galerie Huit in 1952. On his return to New York, Held quickly entered the orbit of Abstract Expressionist painters, particularly Franz Kline and Mark Rothko who mentored the younger Held. His post-Paris paintings of the 1950s were heavily impastoed, tactile canvases that retain the expressive gesture of Abstract Expressionism. He received his first New York solo exhibition at the Poindexter Gallery in 1959.
Held is considered a prominent figure among second-generation Abstract Expressionists, but his persistent exploration of illusionistic potential within abstraction and theoretical attitudes consistently defied many of the labels of post–Abstract Expressionist movements. In the early 1960s, Held's paintings moved toward a growing sense of overall clarity and concreteness. Because of their sharpened contours, increasingly geometric forms, and gradually enlarged scale, he was associated with practitioners of Hard-edge painting such as Kelly and Frank Stella. However, Held remained distinct for his bold rejection of critic Clement Greenberg's modernist doctrine, particularly its insistence on flatness. In 1967, Held became tired of the reductive geometric quality and flatness of his work and strove to incorporate space and volume into his canvases. His paintings of 1967–68 were exclusively black and white; after this point he began to explore the three dimensionality of the canvas by punching holes in it and structuring his compositions using vanishing points. After 1978, he began to experiment with vibrant colors in his illusionistic geometric compositions. Despite the shifts in Held's evolving logic to reconcile ordered abstraction and illusionism, the dimensions of his canvases remained a constant throughout his career. Held's persistent drive for architectural scale also found expression in several noteworthy murals, the first of which, I and We (1967), was commissioned for Walter Gropius's Tower East in Cleveland. In 2005 Held completed a mural for the New York City Subway system; he died later that year at his home in Todi, Italy.
Held was an associate professor of art, Yale University, New Haven, from 1962 to 1980. He received numerous awards and grants, including the Frank G. Logan Medal from the Art Institute of Chicago (1964), John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship in painting (1966), and a six-month residency at the American Academy in Rome (1981). In 1984 Held was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Although Held's committed search for an alternative to the reductivist logic that evolved out of Abstract Expressionism did not gain him immediate acceptance in the 1950s art world, his work was presented in many significant group exhibitions in the 1960s at the Guggenheim Museum (1961, 1966); Jewish Museum, New York (1963); Los Angeles County Museum of Art (1964); Museum of Modern Art, New York (1964); and Documenta, Kassel, West Germany (1968), among other venues. Notable solo exhibitions include those at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (1966); traveling exhibitions at the San Francisco Museum of Art (now San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) and the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. (1968) as well as at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, and Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston (1968); Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1974); Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (1978); FIAC Foire internationale d'art contemporain, Grand Palais, Paris, with André Emmerich Gallery (1981); and P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center (now MoMA PS1), New York (2002).

Preparing your farm for the future
By KRISS NELSON - Farm News news editor (editor@farm-news.com) , Farm News
By KRISS NELSON
editor@farm-news.com
AMES - An attorney and farm management specialist educated area women on the top 10 decisions to remember while making real estate plans for farms.
Melissa O'Rourke, Iowa State University Extension and Outreach farm management specialist, spoke during the 2018 Women in Ag Leadership Conference in Ames.
She offers workshops and estate and farm succession planning through ISU Extension and suggests utilizing the Extension's Ag Decision Maker in addition to other resources to help get the ball rolling for your farm's future.
Decision No. 1: Stop procrastinating
"The No. 1 thing I tell people is to stop procrastinating," O'Rourke said. "Many people say they are busy, but get things done the right way and stop putting it off."
According to O'Rourke, 89 percent of farmland owners do not have a succession or transfer plan, and 60 percent are without an estate plan.
"There is no perfect plan, but having your own plan is better than no plan," she said. "If you don't have a plan, the state has a plan for you and you may not like that plan."
Decision No. 2: Plan for if you don't die
O'Rourke asked, "What happens if you don't die?"
If something would hinder your health to where you become incapacitated and you are unable to speak for yourself and make you own decisions, O'Rourke said there needs to be a power of attorney (POA) or two to cover business and financial purposes and medical and health care purposes.
"Once you are 18 years old, you are an adult and you need to have those documents in place," she said. "If you think powers of attorney are only for old people, absolutely not. You never know, at any age, when you may become incapacitated."
When it comes to naming a POA, O'Rourke made these suggestions:
A living will should also be put into place.
According to O'Rourke, a living will is a declaration to use life-sustaining procedures and bring a purpose to what life sustaining procedures are desired and guides the person you have appointed to make those decisions.
Decision No. 3: Communicate with family
"Do not have any family secrets about the farm or your plans for the future," she said. "Everyone should know what is going on."
An outdated concept, O'Rourke said, is the gathering at the lawyer's office with the family for the reveal of the contents left in a will.
"There are people that still think that after somebody dies we go to some lawyer's office and have the reading of the will. This shouldn't happen. This is outdated," she said. "It should all be communicated. Anything that is in that will should be old news. Everybody should know what is going on."
In order to communicate wishes, O'Rourke suggests having family meetings.
"If there is a family farm, there are a lot of things to talk about at family meetings," she said, adding that holidays are not the time. "Businesses don't conduct meetings that way and your family shouldn't either."
Setting up times on a regular basis for family meetings, establishing agendas and possibly using a facilitator are some guidelines to follow.
"The benefits of family meetings and open communication create a trusting atmosphere," she said. "You can set goals, share dreams, discuss strategies, make decisions, delegate responsibilities, solve problems as they arise."
Whatever gets discussed, O'Rourke strongly advises keeping proper minutes or notes of the meetings to help ensure everyone remembers what was agreed upon.
It's also important to head off all conflict.
"Majority of farm families have conflict," she said. "You all may not agree, but it's better to share and explain rationale. These meetings provide opportunity to understand and respect your decisions. Communication allows hurt feelings to heal, jealousy to diminish and helps to avoid estrangement or court battles among heirs. Don't keep secrets. Don't let there be a surprise at the time of someone's death."
Decision No. 4: Stop trying to treat everyone equally, while failing to consider what's fair
O'Rourke suggests, when making your farm succession or estate plan, to make decisions about what is fair or equitable to all, even though it may not be equal. Treating everyone equally might be the most unfair thing you could do.
The University of Minnesota Extension has a series of articles on transferring the farm that provides discussion of gifting, treatment of heirs, valuing sweat equity and helps discuss protection of on-farm heirs and fairness of off-farm heirs.
"It talks about how we deal with what we call on-farm heirs and off-farm heirs," she said. "In another article, 'Putting a Value on Sweat Equity,' if you have somebody that has stayed and has helped build up the farm operation over the years, what's that worth? Because if somebody's been there working for 30 years, and there are four siblings, and Mom and Dad die and the idea is to let's just divide it up by fours, is that fair for the one that has been there building up that operation all of those years?"
Decision No. 5: Coordinate your plans with your
property ownership strategies
When it comes to property ownership, O'Rourke said how your property is owned is an important part for your future plans or farm succession strategies.
"There's different ways we own property and there are implications for how we own property," she said.
Real property is real estate land plus anything attached to it. O'Rourke said this can be buildings, fencing and subsurface tiling.
Then there is personal property. This means things you own that can be either tangible or intangible.
"Meaning you can touch it. Tables, chairs, equipment, livestock, jewelry, vehicles - that is all tangible," she said. "Intangible personal property, that's your bank accounts, investments, IRAs, CDs, stocks and bonds; it's intangible property that is useable value, even if you can't touch it."
O'Rourke said both real and personal property may be owned individually or jointly. Property co-ownership can be joint tenants with right of survivorship (JTWROS) or tenancy in common (TIC).
JTWROS is:
TIC is:
Decision No. 6: Plan
O'Rourke said it is important to plan, no matter of age or worth.
"Even though you may think 'we're not worth that much,'" she said.
Planning should include understanding Federal Estate Tax's (FET) impact on farms.
FET rules include:
"But, even if you're not worth that much, there are many reasons to plan," said O'Rourke.
Family harmony needs to be considered. She said you would not want your legacy to be family jealousy; a plan also provides a peace of mind for yourself, spouse and family and can also help provide for minor children.
Decision No. 7: Figure out how to maintain liquidity - death isn't cheap
"Consider the costs that arise at death," she said.
Some of these costs to consider include:
"Make those final disposition plans," she said. "I don't care how old you are, everybody should talk about this. Put those things in writing. You don't wait for someone to have a terminal illness or a tragic death to talk funeral plans."
Decision No. 8: Be organized, maintain good records
O'Rourke suggests making records that can be found and used by others at either incapacity or death.
"We all want to have things on a flash drive or stored on a cloud or CD," she said. "That's great for back up, but paper records that are not in a safe deposit box, because when it's in a box at the bank you don't look at it and review it. Have show and tell for people for the family so they know what's there and how it's organized. Give everybody copies."
Decision No. 9: Build your team of professionals
O'Rourke advises not to try a do-it-yourself approach when it comes to estate and farm succession planning.
Who should be on your team?
It could include a legal professional, tax and/or accounting professional, financial planning or banking professional and others including insurance, real estate agents and spiritual leaders.
"The time to find an attorney is not when you have a problem," she said. "You want to build that relationship and meet with them. Meet with that attorney at least once a year - whether you need it or not. Just like you would with a banker or a tax professional. You want them to know you, so when you have a problem, you can call them and they know you and know something about your family, your farm and they can help answer your questions and help you."
Decision No. 10: Maintain your plans and continue the conversation
"Have regular, annual reviews just like you would have an annual checkup," she said. "Review designations and retirement accounts. Check on those power of attorneys - make sure things say what you want them to say. They need to be updated."
Each year, O'Rourke said to consider life triggers.
"Have there been births, adoptions, deaths, changes in health or wealth?" she said. "All of those things - divorces, separations - those things can change what might happen with your plans," she said.

Many people have the idea and ambition to be successful in running their own business, but finding support and finance to suit their needs is often a hurdle that they can't overcome.
The New Entrepreneur Scholarships Programme was set up to help people that live in disadvantaged areas or have an unprivileged background.This scheme is funded by a number of bodies, including the Learning Skills Council, the Association of Business Schools, the Price's Trust, and is managed by the NFEA.
The main aim is to help individuals overcome personal difficulties by providing funding, mentoring and support to aid the start-up and continued growth of their business.As part of the scheme, you have access to a range of support that will enable you to develop the skills required to run a business.
And once you have completed the programme and finished your business plan, you are eligible to apply for funding of up to £1,500 to put towards any essential equipment or items you will need to get your business underway.
It is general practice for you to secure additional funding from another source, such as a bank, to also help start the business.
There are strict requirements when it comes to applying for the New Entrepreneur Scholarships Programme.Firstly, you must be able to show six months 'proof of residency' in one of 8121 of the most disadvantaged Super Output Areas (SOA) in England.
If this applies to you, then you must also have a business idea, but not yet be trading and you must be over the age of 18.It doesn't matter whether you are currently unemployed or working full time, as long as you plan to own the business, or act as the company director. It is also a requirement that you plan to run your business full time within the first few months that it begins trading.
The scholarship lasts for approximately 12 weeks, however, this can vary depending on which institution you apply to, and you must be available to attend all activities.
Hadston based Fern Wood has setup Wormcraft, a company and website to market her unique illustrations in the UK and abroad with orders coming from as far afield as Canada and Australia.Fern was born in Zambia and has travelled the world living in South Africa and Australia before settling in the North East.
Her work focuses upon the similarities between differing cultures and upon local, North East subjects. She had an arts degree from Falmouth University College & was always determined to make it as an artist and illustrator. A recent series of prints featuring The Angel of the North sold out within days and another series is planned. But with no business experience Fern was at a loss as to how to market her work.
In May 2006 Fern was accepted as an NES scholar and began an intensive five month programme learning about business planning, accountancy, marketing, business law and finance. A mentor was appointed who will continue to advise Fern as Wormcraft grows.
Today Fern exhibits her work at Happy Things children's centre in Alnwick and is shortly to take space in the Eye to Eye Gallery, part of The Art Works Galleries run by local artist Matt Forster at Stepney Bank.
Fern Wood says, "Like many artists I was shy about promoting my own work and NES has given me the confidence to try my art as a business. The programme was really well organised and I enjoyed the whole experience. I have bought a camper van to take my work to festivals throughout the UK. With my website and hopefully more opportunities to exhibit in the North East the future is looking bright."

Home / Year / 2013 / Eunice N. Sahle
Eunice N. Sahle
By Scott Ragland
A journey from Kenya to Canada to Carolina
Few people can point to the exact moment that changed their life, but Eunice Sahle can.
She was in fifth grade and had just raced home to show off the A she received on her English composition. That A, she told her mother, made her believe she just might be smart enough to become a teacher or a writer.
"It has already been done," said her mother, who proceeded to tell her about a brilliant girl from a respected Anglican family who had become the first African girl from Kenya to be admitted to the renowned Limuru Girls National School. The school was modeled after the elite public schools of Great Britain and for years had been a white-only institution.
"If you want to continue showing us how smart you are, you have to become like her," Sahle's mother said.
For years, the other girl, Micere Githae Mugo, came to live in Sahle's imagination – until 1991 when they finally met in Canada where Sahle was a student at the University of Toronto.
By then, Mugo was a renowned author, poet and university professor who was in Toronto to give a public lecture and to be a guest on a community call-in radio show. Sahle called in with a question, and later that day attended Mugo's lecture, then walked up afterward to meet her.
But it was as if they had already met, Sahle said. "She reached out to hug me and said, 'You are Eunice and you called in this morning.'"
Since that day 22 years ago, the two women have continued to reach out to each other. "I haven't made a major decision without first talking to her," Sahle said. "She is my inspiration and big sister."
Now associate professor and chair of Carolina's Department of African, African American and Diaspora Studies, Sahle did eventually become a teacher and a writer.
"In one of my books, I thank her for showing me the power of ideas and getting me to imagine – to actually dream – of a life of the mind," she said.
A passion for free inquiry
Sahle and Mugo had many things in common. They both came from similar traditions in central Kenya and had families who were passionate about education.
Sahle was born during a period of turmoil and transition in Kenya, near the end of what became known as the Mau Mau Rebellion, a bloody military conflict from 1952 to 1960 that effectively ended British rule (Kenya had been a British colonial protectorate from the 1800s and a British Crown colony from the 1920s).
Sahle's father worked for the government in the capital of Nairobi both before and after independence. While not wealthy, he and his wife had property and therefore had the means to send their six children to boarding schools.
Some of her most powerful childhood memories were the discussions her parents, grandparents and family friends had about what Kenya was like in the 1940s and 1950s and the country's struggle to win independence, which it finally gained in 1963.
As a teacher, Sahle tells her students that colonialism left an indelible mark and its effects continue to shape political and economic processes in Africa. The legacy of colonialism, which was complex and contradictory, still is debated around the world.
Following independence, Jomo Kenyatta became Kenya's first elected president, but within a few years he assumed dictatorial powers by exploiting a colonial constitution that had changed little during the transition to independence. After his death in 1978, Kenyatta was replaced by Daniel arap Moi, who ruled the same way until he was finally ousted in 2002.
For anyone who loved ideas, Kenya became a bleak landscape during those years, Sahle said. Leaders banned books they considered subversive. Some writers, professors and students were detained without trial and killed. Others, such as Mugo, were forced into exile.
"As they consolidated their power in the global context of the geopolitics of the Cold War, these dictators did whatever they could to control the flow of information and what could be taught in schools," Sahle said. "They tried to control what Kenyans were permitted to think. They tried to control even what we dreamt about."
Nonetheless, Kenyans did not give up on their dreams for democracy, Sahle said, and in 2010 Kenya ratified its first democratic constitution.
Coming from such a history, she said, "shaped my passion for free inquiry and my love of the university."
No simple truths
Sahle graduated with honors with a bachelor of arts in political science and international development, and stayed at the University of Toronto to earn her master's degree in political science. She went to Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, for her doctoral degree, with concentrations in comparative politics, international relations, political economy and women in politics.
She would go on to become a recognized expert on the political and economic development of Africa, but in her early years at Carolina, she felt lost and out of place – until a walk down Franklin Street made all the difference.
"I'm walking down the street and I see this church with windows of stained glass, and I realized it was an Anglican church. The chapel's architecture was so familiar and so immediate. From that moment on, Chapel Hill started feeling like home," she said.
Since that day, she has gone to the Chapel of the Cross almost daily to sit and meditate.
"The Anglican tradition, with its emphasis on reason and its architecture, means a great deal to me," Sahle said. "Maybe that is why on the days I miss, I feel as if something is not quite right."
At Carolina, she teaches about political-economic processes and human rights in Africa in the context of a globalizing world. Her students' endless curiosity and idealism keep her on her toes and are a major reason she has chosen to stay at Carolina, she said.
Sahle feels obligated to teach them to question and to distrust easy answers.
"Anyone who has come of age under an authoritarian regime learns to be very skeptical of any sort of simple truth out there," she said. "So if somebody comes to me and says that any dominant modern political 'ism,' as we call them in political science (liberalism, conservatism and Marxism being the dominant ones), is the only truth to solving world problems, I challenge them.
"Overall, I am wary of any ideology that represents itself as the only truth and that is not open to analytical interrogation. At heart, I am a social scientist. I deal with facts and I am interested in critical inquiry.
"If new facts and approaches emerge, I reevaluate my own thinking, and I want my students to be open enough and rigorous enough to do the same."
In fall 2011, when Sahle was first asked to serve as department chair, her impulse, she readily admits, was to run for the door.
After hesitating for weeks, she finally took the job beginning Jan. 1, 2012, because of her respect for her colleagues. "I admire them a lot – their sense of commitment to the institution and their commitment to the students," she said.
She also has been reluctant to accept credit for her steady leadership, which was noted in the citation for her 2013 C. Knox Massey Distinguished Service Award.
"One of the many lessons my colleagues and I have learned during this period is how strong we are," Sahle said. "Our goal has been to focus on our mission. No matter what is going on in a given day, our focus has been on showing up and doing our work.
"We have obligations to the students, and we have obligations to the University, and we have obligations to the citizens of this state who foot the bill. We have to be the best teachers we can. We have to conduct the best research we can and provide service to this state and other parts of the world, given the transnational nature of our teaching and research interests."
The faculty also have fulfilled another obligation: to take care of and support each other.
"I will always look at this period as, yes, a very tough time, but also a period of renewal and excitement because we are getting to re-imagine our department in a way that we have always wanted to do," Sahle said (see go.unc.edu/r4W7H).
"If I can be a part of that, that's enough for me."

Hi everyone, ive been lurking for a bit now and it appears like quite a bit of people, want to know how to get a good quality sound from their recordings. I thought I'd chime in with my opinion.
I have a live show and we recorded the show through Sam's broadcaster, I have to say this is the best overall bet for a pretty good recording of your show. Even if you are not doing a live show. It still has the ability to record. There is more to it, as there are a lot of options to play with. So get your hands on the program, when you can.
Welcome to the site ! thanks for this post. What is your current setup like?
I plan to upgrade that.
Annnd just realized the re20 needs repair.
Location Sound in Los Angles is about the cheapest repair resource I've found for an RE20.
Please direct all questions for me to the forum so that all can benefit.
Thank you just sent them an email.

Trump Expected to Shake Up NATO Summit
By Anne K. Walters, DPA
Full Text: DPA
US President Donald Trump made very clear his presidency marked a new era of "America First," but as the president prepares to head overseas for the first time, his administration is looking to clarify the US does not intend to go it alone.
"'America First' didn't mean 'America alone', ever," Trump's National Security Advisor HR McMaster said just days before Trump heads on a five-nation tour with stops in the Middle East and Europe.
"The president has done a great deal to strengthen our alliances. And 'America first' didn't mean 'America not leading….'"
Trump's presence is expected to shake up the May 25 NATO leaders summit even as the US leader has shifted course on the US-European military alliance, declaring last month that it was "no longer obsolete."
Trump has pushed US allies to do more to shoulder defense burdens and is expected to call on the members of the alliance to meet their goals of spending 2% of gross domestic product on defense and to focus on counter-terrorism efforts.
The military alliance is expected to decide before the summit whether or not to join a military coalition against the Islamic State terrorist group, even though all 28 members are already individually involved.
The leaders are not expected to make any major decisions at the summit itself, and for Trump the benefit may come largely in talking to a slew of leaders he has not yet met.
"It is an important meeting on the personal level, not the policy level," Jorge Benitez, who studies NATO at the Atlantic Council think tank, said.


Shkodër County is one of the 12 counties of Albania. It has the districts Malësi e Madhe, Pukë and Shkodër. The capital is the city of Shkodër.
In its southwest, Shkodër County has a small shoreline on the Adriatic Sea. The northern border is Montenegro.


Unless you have a tube-chassis-based ride, chances are your racecar started its life as a street machine with full emissions, convenience, and safety equipment. But as it begins to spend more of its life on the racetrack than the street, these pieces can outlive their usefulness and quickly find their way to the scrap pile in search of lower elapsed times and greater consisten- cy. Eventually ditching the OEM glass can become a tempting source of weight savings. Polycarbonate race windows are typically 50-75 percent lighter. But, to many, there are so many unknowns. Starting from the beginning, your OEM windows are made of strengthened safety glass.
The windshield is made of laminated glass, which will not shatter when it is broken. A sheet of polyvinyl butyral is sandwiched between two pieces of glass. The layered effect withstands heavy impacts. The polyvinyl butyral acts like tape to hold the glass together and prevents people from being ejected through it in a crash. Conversely, the side and rear window are made of tempered glass, which is a process of strengthening via heating and cooling to put the outer surfaces into compression and the inner surfaces into tension. As the result, when it does break, it crumbles into rounded chunks rather than dangerous shards. Should you drive into a lake or roll over, shattering any of these windows with a metal punch can save your life.


We had an early start and a quick breakfast but the car was packed and ready to go by 10am, which was the time we were supposed to be out of the cottage. But it was still 10:20am before we actually went. We had just one more drive over the tops to see the birds and the scenery, but it was pouring with rain, visibility was poor, and we were mindful of the cats in the car.
We came home via Hawes, Leyburn, Bedale and the A1(M), and it took us 2½ hours to get home – and we didn't even leave the county. The weather was much brighter and drier on our side of the hill, but while we were stocking up on provisions at our local supermarket, we had a cracking storm.
The animals were all happy to be home and the cats didn't stay out for long. We'd only had to stop once for Holly on the way home this time. And the usual post-holiday chores began – aka unpacking and washing.
We're looking forward to going back.


409. Cluny Bistro | LEFTBANKED.
Since I haven't updated my blog in so long here's my second post of the night! Yesterday my sister and I went for lunch at Cluny Bistro. It's a fairly new French restaurant in the Distillery District. Their interiors are beautiful! I love restaurants in this style. I had the Classic Croque Madame (with extremely skinny fries) and she had the Charred Marinated Tofu salad.
It was a Monday afternoon so it was pretty empty in there. Great atmosphere.
My portion was pretty large and very filling. My sister's was the opposite, so we ended up sharing mine. I really love the fries here. They're extra skinny and the seasoning was really good.
it is, I'm sure you'd love it there!
Very nice Bistro. Looks very authentic French. I will try it out soon.
Make Up For Ever "Artist Liner"


In Hearts and Minds, the player investigates the Donatu Prime Lunar Research Station and discovers the unethical research performed there by Doctor Sibak.
When the player enters the station the away team is attacked by an automated defense system, that the player needs to override. While investigating the base the player finds evidence of medical experimentation. Finally, the away team finds a laboratory filled with clones of Doctor Sibak, all but one in stasis.
When talking to the clone, he attacks the away team, trying to stop them from obstructing the research. Finally, the player finds another room filled with clones, who immediately attack. After sweeping the station, the away team finds no evidence that Sibak experimented on any other sentient life forms than his own clones.
I've lost contact with an old . . . colleague. Doctor Sibak was a Vulcan priest, but he worked with the Vulcan science academy studying psionic phenomena.
A few years ago he went into seclusion on a remote research station in the Donatu system. He hasn't been heard from in some time. I'd like someone to check up on him.
Don't worry, He's just a typical Vulcan by himself. You shouldn't have any problems.
Several years ago, a reclusive Vulcan scientist and mystic by the name of Sibak settled a research station on a moon of Donatu Prime. He was a psionic adept of considerable power, and having him on the Neutral Zone makes me wonder what sort of information the Federation might be uncovering through his telepathic skills.
Our traffic analysts have indicated that the station is no longer reporting. Now is the perfect time to find out what exactly has been going on there.
Go to the Donatu system in the Donatu sector, and investigate the research station.
Find Dr. Sibak's "Research Subjects"
According to a dev blog post, the mission is supposed to be available on each Friday the 13th from now on "and perhaps another sufficiently horrifying day that we might choose" It is also scheduled to be available around Halloween.
2012: from 6pm PDT on Thursday, July 12, until around 6am PDT on Saturday, July 14.
2012: from 8pm PDT on Tuesday, October 30, until 8am PDT on Thursday, November 1.
2013: from 6pm PDT on Thursday, September 12, until 8am PDT on Saturday, September 14.
2013: from 6pm PDT on Wednesday, October 30, until 6am PDT on Friday, November 1.
2013: from 12pm PDT on Friday, December 13, until 6am PDT on Saturday, December 14.
2014: from 12pm PDT on Friday, June 13, until 6am PDT on Saturday, June 14.
Wearing an Environmental Suit or a [Rebreather Device] from "The Best Defense" or "What's Left Behind" will protect the player from harm while solving the Isolinear Chip Alignment puzzle in the quarantine chamber, as will traits or other items which provide Toxic resistance.
Reportedly, Hearts and Minds was created by Jesse Heinig during off-work hours.
The [Special Duty Officer - Unknown] contains a rare Dr. Sibak (clone) Duty Officer.
Possibly related to its status as a Friday The 13th/Halloween special mission, the total number of enemies in the mission - two turrets, five Flea Spiders and six clones - comes to thirteen.
The reward "Emote Unlock: Zombie Dance" was added with the Halloween 2017 (October 31st) run of the event.
