Our exhibition at the Innovation Day of the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi) for SMEs on 7 June 2018 in Berlin generated good feedback and a great deal of interest.
Our research institute presented the INNO-KOM project "Wafer Level Packaged Pressure Sensor With Through Silicon Vias" for the first time at this exhibition and communication platform with its own booth. It shows WLP (Wafer-Level-Packaging)-based piezoresistive bulk micromechanical pressure sensors using silicon direct bond connections and vias with increased chemical resistance as well as improved contact and long-term stability. Examples from the field of biomedical development and production for in vivo vital parameter measurement as well as sensors for optical blood pressure measurement and for installation in biomedical devices for feedback systems for blood sugar stabilization were also clearly demonstrated.

Ever wonder the tell tale signs of Cancer? Ever wonder if a bumbling fool and cheesy film effects could show you what you could be missing? Want a fake doctor to tell you things you should already know? I'll bet you're wondering where you can find such a film. Well, in 1960, that edu-tainment film was produced and stars none other than Mr. Magoo. In this "Film for Men" you will see what seven signs you should be looking for if you think you may have Cancer. You see any of these signs on the side of the road or on your body, get to the doctor. Hopefully, not like the Doctor Mr. Magoo sees, otherwise you'll find yourself pantless and dancing. Enjoy my first VOD riff.

AFT-Maryland at Workers First Caravan
The challenges of COVID-19 have altered a number of normal routines and activities. The need to alter isn't the same as canceling however, and unions have demonstrated that better than perhaps anyone. Ordinarily, if there was important legislation that affected union households, union activists would flood Capitol Hill to agitate for their issues. The mandates for social distancing created by the ongoing global pandemic meant that labor had to be creative in how they lobbied; and creative labor was with a mass worker caravan circling through downtown Washington, DC and the U.S. Capitol complex.
Statement on the Deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd
The past week and a half has been perhaps the most challenging time for the United States in the 21st century. The high profile deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd (two of which we witnessed the heartbreaking video) has awakened a deep sense of unequal treatment of Black Americans by police and white vigilantes. This has led to protests and rebellions across the country where a number of police departments have responded brutally to journalists and protesters ironically protesting police brutality.
The wake of this has brought on rebellions and uprisings reminiscent of the long hot summer of 1968. Many historians direct our attention to the race riots of 1919 as a more apt comparison. Locally, we don't even have to go that far back. We vividly remember the 2015 uprisings in response to the death of Freddie Gray in police custody. Unequal treatment of Black people by law enforcement is abhorrent and must end if this nation is to live up to the full promise of its words. Dr. King reminds us that "a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear?"
AFT-Maryland Partners with National Federation for PPE
Public employees make up many of the essential workers throughout Maryland working on the front lines during this pandemic. They continue to show up and do their jobs to help cities, counties, and the state maintain some semblance of normalcy during this difficult and unusual time. Just because someone is a hero at work, doesn't mean they shouldn't be well protected.
Tell your Senators: Don't Forfeit Our Future
Across the state, Marylanders have made significant sacrifices in the face of the COVID-19 global pandemic. As public employees, health care professionals, and education professionals, you know how vital and essential the public sector is to Maryland.
AFT-Maryland List of Public Employee Needs for Maryland to Reopen
AFT-Maryland sent the attached letter to Governor Hogan, Baltimore City Mayor Bernard C. "Jack" Young, Baltimore County Executive John Olszeski Jr., and the Maryland General Assembly COVID-19 Workgroup, listing important needs for public worker safety as the state begins to reopen. Key points from the letter include:
Gov. Hogan's COVID-19 Recovery Team must include voices from state and local public health workers, public school teachers and paraprofessionals, and non-healthcare related essential public employees.
The state, counties, and local municipalities must incorporate more aggressive benchmarks for testing and contact tracing.
Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH) must establish enforceable temporary emergency workplace infectious disease standards.
Click here or on the image to the right for a copy of the letter.
AFT-Maryland is a state federation of public employee labor unions representing more than 15,000 workers across the state of Maryland in a number of professions. Our members include education professionals and health care professionals in addition to as a host of state employees and public employees in Baltimore city and county.
Maryland Unsung Heroes On The Front Line
Last week the nation celebrated public employees. Locally, AFT-Maryland is shining the spotlight on members just like yourself, that are making sacrifices to ensure everything from public health care, to education, to state services continue with some semblance of normalcy. Take a moment and learn about members from across the state federation.

Canada must respect the rights of the natives
Colonialism Réparation invites the Canadian Government to really pursue truth and reconciliation about the Indian residential schools, supports the demands of the association Idle no more and the of the Attawapiskat chief Theresa Spence and calls on the Canadian Government to immediately recognize the same status even to Métis and to the natives living outside the reserves.
The modern history of Canada began with a group of European colonies that gradually expanded using their deceipt and force to take possession of the vast territories of the natives. An example among the many is the territory on which today stands Toronto, for the ownership of which on October 29, 2010 the Federal government signed a settlement with the nation Mississaugas of New Credit, that provided for the payment of $145 million to compensate the totally inadequate purchase price paid by the Canadian government between 1797 and 1805.
The implementation of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement began on September 19, 2007 to close the painful chapter of the Indian residential schools, the most striking example of apartheid in the Canadian colonies developed by United Kingdom and after 1931 directly by the Federal government to assimilate the indigenous population into the dominant culture. Despite the apologies offered by the Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the average reparations to former students still alive was limited to about $20,000, the achievement of this settlement has resulted in the impossibility to act in court in cases of physical or sexual assault and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission made reference to court to obtain all the documents possessed by the Federal government.
During 2012, the federal government then renewed the attack on the rights of the natives with Bill C-38, that was approved by the Canadian Parliament on June 29, 2012, and with the Bill C-45, that was approved by the Canadian Parliament on December 14, 2012 which, in open violation of the treaties, facilitate the appropriation of the reserves' lands for the exploitation of the heavy oil resources with disastrous consequences from the environmental point of view. The natives protest has been increasing in the recent months and is now symbolized by the association Idle no more and by the Attawapiskat chief Theresa Spence to whom we are proud to express our solidarity.
On January 9, 2013 the Federal court finally recognized that even the Métis and the natives living outside the reserves have the same status as the natives who live inside the reserves, though the court let the Federal government define the rules.
Colonialism Reparation invites the Canadian government to really pursue truth and reconciliation about the Indian residential schools better reviewing the Settlement Agreement, supports the demands of the association Idle no more and of the Attawapiskat chief Theresa Spence to abolish all laws that violate the treaties and calls on the Canadian government to immediately provide also to the Métis and to the natives living outside the reserves the same status without appeal and as a matter of urgency.
"During its rational reign over the whole planet, the European civilization has not dissolved barbarity by conquering some distant steppes or some new deserts; it has incorporated it and it has succumbed to its own dissolution process, filling its internal deserts with its sand."
Jean-François Mattéi, La barbarie intérieure, 1999

Bob Woodward Asks: How Will Democracy's Final Exam Go?
By Richard Quinn | on October 29, 2017 | 0 Comment
ACEP17 Features
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Journalism icon Bob Woodward sees the tumult of President Donald Trump's first year in office and understands that people—on both sides of the political aisle—think they know how the "final exam of American democracy" will unfold. But Mr. Woodward, the ACEP17 keynote speaker Sunday, cautioned against judging too quickly, as he once did.
ACEP17 Opening Speaker Bob Woodward to Share Perspective on the American Presidency
Get Involved in Health Policy or Get Left Behind
Take Advantage of the NEMPAC Donor Lounge
ACEP17 Monday Daily News
The Washington Post associate editor, who helped report and investigate the Watergate scandal that pushed President Richard Nixon to resign in 1974, thought he knew the story of President Gerald Ford pardoning Nixon shortly thereafter.
"It's the final corruption of Watergate," Mr. Woodward told a crowded ballroom of emergency physicians. "There was an aroma of a deal between Nixon and Ford. Fordgets the presidency. Nixon resigns, but is pardoned."
But some 25 years later, Mr. Woodward spoke to Ford for the first time about why he pardoned Nixon. "Ford said, in this plaintive voice I will never forget, 'You know, I needed my own presidency,'" Mr. Woodward said. "'The country had to move on. I had to move on. The only way to get Nixon off the front page and into history was to pardon him. That was the national interest.'"
The pardon helped cost Ford the 1976 presidential election, but the lesson to Mr. Woodward was that "the lens of history" frames a different picture. It's a valuable perspective as President Trump's "energized" pace prompts the media to forecast the future and question his motives.
"I was so sure I knew in '74, not just what had happened, but what it meant," Mr. Woodward said, adding, "It is a lesson that will never leave me and it is a lesson that we sit in this moment in history, which is a really, really important moment, and I think the stakes could not be higher about what Trump's going to do, but we don't know."
Mr. Woodward said the media must be careful in its tone and coverage of President Trump, lest its credibility be further eroded. And it has to "entertain the possibility … that Trump is operating in good faith" to do the job of the president.
So how does Mr. Woodward, who has written books on eight presidents and is working on his ninth, define the job description for the world's most powerful man?
"To figure out what the next stage of good is for a majority of people in the country," he said, "A real majority. Not one party, not interest groups, not a series of interest groups. But really step back and say, 'What do we need?'"
And the answer to that question will truly determine how the "final exam of American democracy" goes.

Home Reviews Vype ePen 3 Review
Vype ePen 3 Review
Vaping360 Team
Size, weight, and feel
How does it hit?
Are the flavors any good?
Battery life and charging
The ePen 3 by Vype is a beginner-friendly button-operated vape that comes with prefilled pods. It is lightweight, easy to use, and comes at a very affordable price.
We recently reviewed the first installment in the ePen line, which was disappointing, both from a build quality and a performance standpoint. The ePen 2 remains a mystery as there is no information about it online—unless the name was given to the second, updated run of the original ePen. Regardless, the ePen 3 seems to be a better designed product than the original ePen. Keep reading to find out if that can be the vape to get you off the smokes.
Colors: Black, red, gold, blue, silver
Price: £9.99 for the starter kit (device & 2 pods), £5.99 for a pack of 2 pods
Battery capacity: 650 mAh
Pod capacity: 2 mL
1 x Vype ePen 3
2 x Vype ePen 3 pods
1 x Micro USB charging cable
1 x User guide - please read before use
The Vype ePen 3 is a very lightweight vape, weighing in at 39 grams with a full pod on. It is not that small though, especially considering it is a pod style vape. At 121 mm x 26 mm x 12 mm it is taller and thicker than your average pod vape, and thicker than most vape pens out there.
If you are wondering how a device that lightweight can be as large as the ePen 3, the answer is: build quality. The ePen 3 is made out of thin plastic, and feels flimsy and fragile. While it is much more modern in its looks, the build quality resembles that of the disappointing original Vype ePen.
The pods are dark tinted, which makes it hard to check for the levels of e-liquid. Holding them in front of a light source helps, but we wished they were a bit more transparent.
Build quality is important, but for a device that costs £9.99 with two pods included we didn't expect much more on that front.
The box includes the battery, two pods, a USB charging cable and a user manual. Depending on the starter kit you choose, the ePen 3 will be bundled with either regular nicotine pods, or the VPro pods that use nicotine salts. Nicotine salts generally provide a smoother hit and faster nicotine absorbance.
To start using the device, remove a pod from the plastic packaging, take the silicon covers off, and place it in the opening of the battery. The pods click in place and feel very secure—there's no way they are coming out of the device on their own. Turn the device on by clicking the button three times. If the LED that pulses is green, it means that the device is fully charged, and you can start vaping by pressing the button while inhaling on the mouthpiece.
To turn the device off click on the fire button three times. If you forget to turn it off, the device will automatically power off after 10 minutes of inactivity. The device will also shut down if the button is pressed for over eight seconds, which is a welcome safety feature.
The pods of the ePen 3 have a tight draw that resembles that of a cigarette. In vape terms, that's called a mouth to lung (MTL) draw. We found the throat hit very satisfying on the regular 18 mg pods, but the 12 mg ones received mixed opinions from the team. And as expected, the nicotine salts of the VPro line felt weaker than the regular nic pods; the throat hit of the 18 mg VPro pods was just a little bit less pronounced than the 12 mg regular nicotine pods.
Vapor production is good, and temperature is warm enough to give a satisfying hit. Both of these will slightly deteriorate throughout use though, as the device is providing direct voltage output.
We didn't notice any leaking out of the pods, and no spitting or popping outside of the first couple of hits of the day—which is perfectly normal for prefilled pods. Also, no dry or burnt hits even when taking many long drags in succession. All in all, we were satisfied by the hit of the Vype ePen 3, but for the best results we suggest using 18 mg pods.
The cartridges of the original ePen produced a very prominent plastic taste that interfered with our testing—we just couldn't empty the pods! We are happy to report that the ePen 3 pods give no off-taste at all.
There are currently 13 flavors available in the standard line, and four flavors in the VPro line. We tested three flavors from the original line and two of the VPro pods.
Note that nicotine strength options vary between flavors. All the flavors of the regular nicotine line are available in 6 and 12 mg, with some of them also being available in 0 and 18 mg strengths. The VPro line is available in 12 and 18 mg, with the exception of the Tropical Mango which is only available in 12 mg strength.
Blended Tobacco (regular nicotine, 18 mg/mL, included): It's probably a similar recipe to the tobaccos used in the rest of Vype's products, but it feels more intense in the ePen 3. That's not exactly positive, as the warmer vapor this device produces doesn't work to the flavor's advantage. This flavor was nobody's favorite, which is unfortunate as tobaccos are usually the ones that beginners are looking for when switching to vaping.
Crisp Mint (regular nicotine, 18 mg/mL, included): Not all of us like minty vapes, but those who do, really enjoyed this flavor. Unlike the Blended Tobacco flavor, this one seems to work better with the warmer vape that the ePen 3 produces. It is a refreshing mint that's not overly cool, and great for transitioning menthol smokers.
Strawberry Smash (regular nicotine, 12 mg/mL): The Strawberry Smash flavor lays somewhere in between a natural, juicy strawberry and a strawberry jam. It received positive reactions from the team, although some of us would have liked it to be a bit more complex.
Wild Berries (VPro, nicotine salt, 18 mg/mL): That flavor received the worst score from the team, which was a disappointment as it was probably the best one in the original ePen. It felt somewhat underflavored and too artificial. Out of the three fruity flavors that was the only one that none of us would order again.
Tropical Mango (VPro, nicotine salt, 12 mg/mL): This one got the best scores, and those of us who enjoy fruity vapes put at on the top of our lists. It is a very good representation of a realistic and juicy mango, with possibly some other fruits thrown in the recipe. We suggest ordering at least a pack of this flavor. The only drawback: it is currently only available in 12 mg.
The FDA announced Jan. 2 that it will begin enforcing all Deeming Rule requirements immediately for prefilled pod- and cartridge-based vaping products in flavors other than tobacco and menthol. Products sold after Feb. 2 are subject to enforcement if the FDA has not granted them marketing approval through a premarket tobacco application (PMTA). No PMTAs have been approved for vaping products yet. The FDA guidance only applies to products sold in the United States.
The device features a 650 mAh battery, which is larger than most pod systems out there. But we did feel that they could have squeezed and extra couple of hundred mAh in there, given the size of the device.
The LED functions as a battery indicator and lights up if you click on it. The color will be different depending on the remaining battery:
Green: 40-100%
Amber: 10-40%
Red: 10-0%
While charging, the LED will inform you of battery levels:
Green continuous: 100%
Green pulsing: 85-100%
Red continuous: 10-85%
Red pulsing: 0-10%
Expect to vape a bit over one pod before having to charge the device. Depending on how often you hit it, it may be good for a full day's vape or more.
The device charges through its mini USB port at up to a 0.5-amp rate, and needs approximately 75 minutes to fully charge. That's relatively slow by today's standards, but good news is that you can use it while it is charging.
Satisfying hit on the 18 mg pods
Produces warm vapor
Good vapor production
Very affordable
Comes with two 18 mg pods
Tropical Mango flavor is great
Crisp Mint flavor is good for menthol smokers
17 flavors to choose from
Low build quality
Large footprint for a pod vape
Dark tinted pods make it hard to check for e-liquid levels
Blended Tobacco flavor is not up to par with tobaccos of the competition
Takes 75 minutes to charge
So, is the Vype ePen 3 the vape to help you quit? That's a hard one to answer. Out of the Vype products we have tried up to now, it is easily the best performing one—especially when combined with the 18 mg regular nicotine pods. It is also super cheap and comes with a whopping 17 flavors to pick from. On the other hand, build quality leaves a lot to be desired, and flavors are hit or miss for the most part.
To put it simply: there are better beginner vapes out there, but for £9.99 with two pods included, we wouldn't blame you if you decided to give it a try. We just wished their Blended Tobacco was a bit better, as most beginners would appreciate a solid tobacco flavor. If we liked this flavor a little bit more, we would have given the ePen 3 a stronger recommendation.

Hello, this might not be the right thread to post my comment but since I am using this device… I have almost 2 weeks vaping 12mg nicotine menthol and tobacco flavor after 20 yrs of smoking regular camels. I haven't cough at all neither I have a dry throat. But after the 5th day I started having a constant throat tightness shortness of breath. Also a few days ago a persistent muscular back and neck pain. Very scary feeling, wondering if anybody else felt it. Are those symptoms temporary? Am I allergic to PG or VG? Would you recommend me… Read more »
Spyros Papamichail
Hi Marieta,
Shortness of breath can be due to a lot of things, including smoking cessation and even a sensitivity/allergy to PG or VG.
But both shortness of breath and muscular pain are symptoms that warrant a visit to the doctor.
Stay away from smoking, pay a visit to your doctor, and come back anytime to discuss what type of device is best for you.
rachel tomlinson
Hello I recently purchased some refills for the epen 3 but one the cartridges would not work , this is the third time this has happened. I don't think this is acceptable as they are expensive as they do not last longer than two days.

About the pods not lasting long it's all about how much you use the device if you vape more it will run out quickly if you find your self vaping lots try the Nic Salts with it you get the nicotine faster and the nicotine will stay in your system longer

2023: Peter Okoye reveals power behind Peter Obi's popularity
Saga Gist December 28, 2022
Peter Okoye of the P-Square music group has revealed that the pain of millions of Nigerians who are affected by the nation's economic reality, is the force behind the popularity of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
According to the singer who took to his Twitter handle on Tuesday to drum support for Obi, the Obidient movement is no longer about the former Anambra governor but about rescuing the country.
"The Power behind @PeterObi is the pains of millions of Nigerians who deserve a better life but were failed by the corrupt Politicians! This is no longer about @PeterObi
"This is about the millions of Frustrated Nigerians/Youths who wants to take their anger to the BALLOT BOX", he posted.
Peter Okoye and his brother Paul Okoye have been staunch supporters of Peter Obi, believing that the LP candidate possess the ability to rescue the nation from its woes.


Almost two weeks later and I am finally recovered from a week long trip to Sayulita, Mexico for one of my closest friends' wedding. A week full of sun, ocean, laughter and friends. I finally learned to surf.. much easier and enticing in warm waters.. especially waters full of gold glittering sand. Yes, a beach with gold sparkling sand! Still felt some residual neck pains from my November car accident but loved the experience and just being in warm waters! Below is a group photo that basically sums up a great week!

"The Hubsystems Podcast" Episode 35, has some very interesting talk about the Dindrenzi Saucer, the Sorylian Leviathan, other Sorylian Suits, the Relthoza Dragonfly, Drones and Power suits and more gems. Some solid talk about the look of FSA models too. Definitely worth a listen. Changes of some sort are to be expected, if I took over the game there would be changes/updates etc. Don't forget how many times Spartan changed the look of FSA models. we are assured the scale will be maintained and old models will be compatible which is awesome. If the new models are great I will buy and paint them.
If you listen to the Warcradle guys on their Podcast interviews, we can expect some significant model re-designs.
Very nice @Skyhawk i really like your Terran scheme. We will need another group shot once the Hercules is done.

While it is more expensive, it allows me to get some rest, have dinner at a nearby restaurant, review my paperwork and then get some sleep for the next day's appointment. If I didn't do that, I would be too exhausted for the appointment - which is certainly a bigger investment than any hotel expense.
If you have never been to the medical office before, you should check that out before going to the hotel. This way you will know exactly where it is located, as well as the parking situation and you will be ready for the next day.
When first making your appointment, ask the receptionist if you need to fill out any paperwork in advance. New patients usually have to fill out a patient questionnaire about their medical information (health, symptoms, pain levels, insurance information, etc.) Unless you can download it off their web site, have them mail it to you so you can fill it out at home. Not only will you have more time to complete the forms, but you also won't have to rush through it while sitting in the waiting room. If you have any questions, there will be more than enough time to call the doctor's office to ask them.
If I ran a medical office, I would make sure that patients are called 48 hours in advance to remind them of their appointment. Ask your receptionist to call you 48 hours in advance of your appointment - especially if you live out of town.
Always arrive at least 30 minutes early for your appointment. This way, you won't rush through traffic or frustrate yourself trying to find a parking space. What if the bus or other form of transportation is behind schedule? It will also allow you time to handle the items on the pre-appointment checklist that will be discussed below.
2. Cash, check or credit card to pay your co-payment.
3. (If you have an HMO) A Letter of Authorization from your insurance carrier. If this letter is not on file, you will most likely have to pay the consultation fee on the day of your appointment.
5. Any films (MRIs, CT scans, etc.) and reports related to your condition. When you have an MRI or another imaging test done, ask the radiology department to send you a copy of both the film and written report for your records. The films will be on a CD-ROM so they shouldn't take up very much space. This will also be helpful in case you need to see another doctor for an opinion. Ask the neurosurgeon's office if they would like you to send the film ahead of time. If yes, then call before your appointment to confirm that the CD-ROM and written report of that film has arrived. Or they may ask you to bring them with you to the appointment.
6. Xerox copies of medical records relating to your condition (consultations, as well as reports from any operations or radiology exams as mentioned above).
7. Learn as much as you can about Chiari. Spend time visiting the International Chiari Association (ICA) web site, as well as our Facebook page and YouTube Channel. The more you know, the more efficient and beneficial your appointment will be.
1. Have a list of your conditions and a list of your symptoms, writing both in the order of severity. Make sure to note any changes in your headaches, neck pain, vision, speech, hand coordination and walking ability.
2. A list of the medications you take, including herbs and supplements. Here is an example: Name of Medication, 10 mg, one per day. It is important that all of your doctors know all of the things that you take so they won't unintentionally prescribe a drug that can cause a serious reaction. Also, list all of the things that you are allergic to so they can include them in your records.
3. Is there something you do or take that helps your condition? Let your doctor know.
4. Also, let the doctor know if anybody in your family also has Chiari. Sometimes, it runs in families.
5. Have a list of questions for your doctor. A good tip is to buy a spiral notebook. List your questions on the left page and write the doctor's answers on the right page. Afterward, you can rip all of the pages out, staple and keep them in a folder for future reference.
Always bring at least two pens with you for your notes, just in case one runs out of ink.
a. What kind of tests do I need?
b. Do you recommend that I have surgery?
c. How many decompression surgeries for Chiari have you performed?
d. (If you don't recommend surgery) Will you be checking up on me to see if the severity of my Chiari gets worse?
e. (If you recommend surgery) How long will it take? How long will I be in the hospital and what are the plans for my recovery?
f. What are the risks of surgery?
g. While there is no cure for Chiari, what do you think are reasonable long-term goals for my health?
h. What will the surgery cost and will my insurance cover it?
i. Is there anything I can do right now that would help my health?
The doctor will ask you many questions and put you through a series of neurological tests. Here is something to remember: You know all the answers to their questions because nobody knows your health better than you do. While you may be tired of answering the same questions and going through the same exams, it is very important for you to hang in there and work with the doctor.
6. You should always have a "Current Health" folder with you at your appointments, which would contain copies of all the above information. Examples of other folders to keep at home, which should be separated by year, are the following: Medical Expenses, Explanation of Benefits (Insurance Information), Chiari malformation, Medical Tests (Written reports of lab work, MRIs, etc.), Film of MRIs, etc., Medical Records, Medication Information and Misc. Health.
It is important that you keep track of your expenses not only for your personal budget, but for your taxes as well. I've had several years where my itemized deduction was greater than my standardized deduction. Make sure to keep the receipts for your co-payment, any meals, parking, hotel, etc. - anything that is related to your health. Also keep track of your medical-related, round-trip miles for your taxes. This applies to the United States so please check your tax laws if you live in another country.
7. Have a list of all the doctors currently treating you, especially the one that referred you to the neurosurgeon. The list should also have their office address, as well as their office phone and fax numbers. If the doctor has a web site address, include that as well. This way, you'll have the information with you in case you or the medical office need it. It is also helpful, and I recommend this, for the doctor to send copies of his/her report to members of your medical team.
As prepared as you will be after reading this detailed article, another piece of advice is to bring along a friend or relative. Not only will this person keep you company, but he/she might remember something that you have forgotten. Another set of ears can be helpful and this person will also develop a better understanding of what you are going through, especially if they are able to provide assistance.
1. If you decide to have surgery, I suggest that you seek the opinions of at least two neurosurgeons (if possible) before making this important decision.
2. Bring a copy of the discharge report if you have recently been hospitalized.
3. If you have a heart problem, bring a copy of the most recent summary from your cardiologist.
4. Bring snacks with you if you have diabetes or hypoglycemia.
5. Always bring reading material because you never know if you'll like the magazines in the waiting room.
6. If you have to cancel or re-schedule your appointment, please call the doctor's office at least 24 hours in advance so you won't be charged for a late cancellation.
7. Don't expect your appointment to start on time, be patient, you might have to wait. It is easy for doctors of all specialties to fall behind schedule.
8. If you are nervous, and I know it is difficult not to be, try to relax. If you've done everything you can to prepare for this appointment, you should be able to go in with confidence. By following all these steps, you will always be prepared.
1. Ask if a follow-up appointment needs to be made. If it does, then repeat the steps again from the beginning of this article.
2. If you are being sent for tests, find out when you will receive the results. Request a written report and, if radiology is involved, a CD-ROM of the film.
(a) What is it supposed to do to improve my health?
(b) Is there a generic substitute (this will save you money)?
(c) When and how long am I supposed to take the medicine?
(d) What are the possible side effects?
In an introductory letter that I received from The Spine Clinic of Los Angeles, they mentioned the following that is worth repeating: "Patients who participate in their own health care decisions are far more likely to achieve an optimal level of healing and recovery."
While doctors are usually better educated and better paid than their patients, never be intimdated by them. Their job is to help you. Look at it as a partnership. If you can trust your doctor and feel comfortable working with him/her, you are probably on the right track.

Q: Closures, Loops, and Event Handlers I have a fundamental misunderstanding of closures and perhaps looping statements and event handlers. It stems from the following snippet of code which is often used to demonstrate a misuse of closures:
var myNodes = document.getElementsByTagName('li');
for (var i = 0; i < myNodes.length; i++) {
    myNodes[i].addEventListener('click', function(){ console.log(i); });
}

It's usually explained that this code doesn't work because each iteration of the loop creates a new event handler, and each new event handler is a closure. This is the part I don't understand. I don't see how this produces closures. A closure is defined by a function being declared within an outer function, and the outer function publicizing the inner function. Where is that pattern here?
Lastly, I don't even understand why the event handlers being closures is relevant. Why do these closures seem to wait until the loop is complete to capture the environment variables? Why not when the loop is first initiated? Why not capture them as expected, with each iteration of the loop?

A: Let's say we have 5 nodes.
And let's assume we'll click on any node after the loop finished.
If no closures were involved, when clicking on myNodes[3] you'd expect this code to write 3 to console.
But, that's not what it's going to print. It'll print the last value of i (4 in this case).
This is happening because when you declare function(){ console.log(i);, you capture the i variable from the outer block (your loop). In time of the declaration i will have the "expected" value identical to the value in the loop. But, when you actually click on the node, the code in the loop already ran. The value of i at this point is 4 and that's the  value inner function will print to log.

A: The issue is that a for loop doesn't create a separate closure with each loop through. Because of that, it's suggested to avoid declaring variables inline like that, since it's misleading.
The more accurate version of that loop is shown below.
The way around it is shown afterward; by passing the value of i to a separate function that assigns the click handler, you're creating a local scope inside of that function instance that preserves the value.

var myNodes = document.getElementsByTagName('li');
var i;

for (i = 0; i < myNodes.length; i++) {
  myNodes[i].addEventListener('click', function() {
    console.log('From First Loop', i);
  });
}
console.log('After loop, i =', i)

//Here's the way around it, creating a handler function
function bindClick(index){
  myNodes[index].addEventListener('click', function() {
    console.log('From Handler', index);
  });
}

for (i = 0; i < myNodes.length; i++) {
  bindClick(i);
}

A:
A closure is defined by a function being declared within an outer function, and the outer function publicizing the inner function. Where is that pattern here

"publicizing` is an alternative way of saying that a reference to a nested function is reachable in code after its outer function has returned. Variables of the outer function (and its outer functions if there are any) are within the scope chain of the inner function and not discarded after the outer function executes and returns. Notionally a "closure" is this variable space held in a scope chain which can not be accessed by code outside the function. The nested function is also sometimes referred to as a "closure" by association.
In the posted example, a new anonymous functions is passed to addEventListener each time it is called. Assuming the for loop is part of an initialization function, registering the functions as handlers effectively "publishes" them. Because references to the handler function objects are retained in browser DOM support code, their scope chain variables are prevented from being garbage collected and can be said to form closures.

Why do these closures seem to wait until the loop is complete to capture the environment variables?

Javascript is single threaded: executing script does not get interrupted by events which are queued for processing after the thread completes. This means the for loop completes execution, leaving i set to myNodes.length, before any event handling is processed by the browser. So each click handler, when executed, will access the same i variable in outer scope, and will log myNodes.length to the console.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. —
When it comes to first impressions, Tampa didn't exactly give the best of welcomes to one of its newest and most famous residents when NFL superstar Tom Brady was ejected from a downtown park while working out.
Mayor Jane Castor tried to make amends by issuing a letter of apology.
"Tom, my apologies for the miscommunication when you arrived -- not the best first impression," the mayor wrote in a letter she posted on social media on Saturday.
"But given my law enforcement background, I couldn't help but have someone investigate the sighting of a G.O.A.T running wild in one of our beautiful city parks."
The 42-year-old quarterback, widely known as "the greatest of all time," has six Super Bowl rings with the New England Patriots and recently joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
On Monday, Brady was working out at the park and spotted by staff patrol, who ordered the four-time Super Bowl MVP to leave because the park was closed to the public because of the coronavirus outbreak.
In her letter, the mayor thanked Brady "for being a good sport."
The mayor thanked Brady and his wife, Gisele Bundchen, for their recent donation of 750,000 meals to Feeding Tampa Bay.
The letter was also addressed to Rob Gronkowski, more simply known as "Gronk," who also bolted the Patriots to join the Tampa Bay roster.
With so many "wonderful activities," the mayor said, listing the area's long list of offerings, "you must be ready to pARRGHty...but not too hard (I'm talking to you Gronk)."
She was perhaps referring to Gronkowski's penchant for playing hard on and off the field.
Tampa hosts next year's Super Bowl and the city is looking to Brady and Gronkowski to help the Buccaneers be the first team to win an NFL championship in its own backyard.
With the coronavirus outbreak preventing large gatherings, the mayor said the welcome would have to be virtual for now, saying that a "proper Tampa welcome will have to wait for a while."


Amidst all the *sturm und drang that we in this nation have endured over the past months, it is good to remind ourselves of all that is good around us. Take the amazing sunsets; sometimes the edge of the sky is burning with wide bands of gold, fire-y pink and lavender blue. Other times I can catch the **alpenglow that brightens the horizon with rose-gold just before sunset.
Then there are the phases of the moon at night; anywhere from the sickle moon (what we always used to call 'God's thumbnail'), to the half-moon, the three-quarter moon, and finally—the splendor of the silvery coin of the full moon.
Not long ago, I heard on the news that a school in Baltimore, MD is teaching young children how to meditate. Evidently, when some of the kids get disruptive and noisy and wiggly as kids do, they are not sent to the principal's office. Instead, they go to the Quiet Room where an instructor shows them how to calm themselves; they are also taught basic meditation techniques (deep breathing, eyes closed, imagining being in a safe, calm place and so on). This is a lifelong skill that can absolutely change lives.
How wonderful to know that young kids are being taught how to control their emotions, runaway thoughts and nervous energy, simply by learning a few easy meditation skills. Just think of how life-changing this is! These children now know how to relax, take a breath, change their thinking, and learn that they actually have control over their feelings. I hope that this wonderful practice will spread throughout all schools.
Then there is the gratitude we feel in celebrating special days such as Veterans' Day. The freedoms we enjoy were bought by the sacrifice of all who fought to defend our country and our way of life. We must never take them lightly, nor forget all those who made it possible for us to live in freedom.
When you can, thank every vet you see for their service. It means everything—they have given everything to help keep us all free. My eternal thanks go to every single veteran.
These are just a few examples of the wonderful, amazing and miraculous good all around us each day. Let's try to take time, even if it is only for a minute or two—just to feel happy and grateful.
*From Webster's Dictionary: 1. a late 18th century German literary movement characterized by works containing rousing action and high emotionalism that often deal with the individual's revolt against society, and 2: turmoil.
**Definition of alpenglow: A rosy glow that suffuses snow-covered mountain peaks at dawn or dusk on a clear day. Origin of alpenglow: Partial translation of German Alpengl&udie;hen: Alpen, Alps + gl&udie;hen, to glow.

Dave Brown (geboren 4. Dezember 1957 in Barnehurst, London) ist ein britischer Karikaturist.

Leben
Dave Brown ist Sohn eines Lehrers. Er studierte von 1976 bis 1980 Malerei an der Leeds University und arbeitete nach der Graduierung bis 1983 als Kunstlehrer im Strathcona Social Education Centre in Wembley. In dieser Zeit veröffentlichte er erste Cartoons in einer lokalen Zeitschrift. Brown versuchte sich dann als freischaffender Maler. Im Jahr 1989 gewann er einen  Preis für politische Karikatur der Sunday Times und arbeitet seither als Karikaturist für die Presse.

Seit 1996 ist er mit einer Unterbrechung politischer Karikaturist für die Tageszeitung The Independent und veröffentlichte daneben auch Sportkarikaturen in Daily Express und Mail on Sunday, sowie Karikaturen zu verschiedenen Themen  in The Guardian, The Scotsman, New Statesman, Sunday Times, Prospect, Economist und  Financial Times.

Brown bezeichnet sich als einen "visuellen Journalisten" (visual journalist). Er arbeitet mit Feder und Tusche, manchmal auch mit Wasserfarben, auf Bristolpapier oder auch auf Papier. Als Karikaturist braucht er Gesichter mit auffälligen Eigenschaften. Sein historisches Vorbild ist James Gillray. Karikaturisten der Gegenwart, die er schätzt, sind der 2010 gestorbene Zeichner des Guardian Les Gibbard und Ralph Steadman.

Seine Beiträge lösen mitunter, auch in der eigenen Zeitungsredaktion, Kontroversen aus. Seine im Independent veröffentlichte Scharon-Karikatur wurde 2003 öffentlich scharf kritisiert und wurde vor die Press Complaints Commission (PCC) gebracht, die allerdings im Interesse der Pressefreiheit die Beschwerde zurückwies.

Brown setzt auf die aufklärerische Kraft seiner Karikaturen, indem er Kaiser nicht nur ohne Kleider, sondern auch mit einem kleinen Penis zeigt. Dem Gesundheitsstaatssekretär John Reid dichtete er immer wieder eine Zigarette an, nachdem sich dieser für eine Antiraucherkampagne eingesetzt hatte.

Brown wurde 2002 vom Cartoon Art Trust als Karikaturist des Jahres ausgezeichnet. 2003 erhielt seine Sharon-Karikatur die Auszeichnung Political Cartoon of the Year.

In 2017 Theresa was referred to New Ventures Maine by Fedcap Rehabilitation Services. Fedcap is an organization that helps those receiving TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) to find sustainable employment.
After going through a divorce, Theresa moved to Patten to be closer to family. Once her youngest child turned one year old, she knew she needed to seek employment. With three children of her own and a desire to help fill a need for childcare services in her region, Theresa began to entertain the idea of opening her own childcare business. With encouragement from Fedcap, she decided to move forward with this idea.
A Path Foward
To start, Theresa explored her idea through one-on-one services from NVME. Then, she enrolled in NVME's Venturing Forth class. "The class made me take things a little more seriously and it held me accountable," she shares. VF pushed her outside of her comfort zone and gave her confidence.

Africa Initiative for Rural Development (AIRD) was invited by Fahamu, an NGO focusing in social justice to speak during the reflection session of small scale organic farmers otherwise known as Tafakari.
We visited 2 places during the Tafakari sessions; Muvuti in Machakos at the end of April and Gatundu North in the beginning of May. AIRD's Sustainable Livelihood Advisor, Odin Olaya shared information and technical knowledge to the organic farmers particularly on Agroecology. Technical knowledge that were shared include soil profiling, addressing the correct and incorrect farming practice according to the type of soil in both Machakos and Gatundu. Odin used his farming experience in his native Philippines as reference.
The farmers learned something interesting which is farmers in the Philippines are very much appreciated so much so they have representatives in the Philippines' parliament, creating a movement of their own.
From the consumer's perspective, AIRD's Communications Strategy Advisor, Dinka Basuki elaborated on how growing crops can be marketable through culinary culture taking an example of different type of foods in Indonesia and how culinary culture also contributes to the country's GDP through tourism. Dinka also demonstrated to the organic farmers how to utilize their crops sustainably using local ingredients from the farmers' shamba that are still foreign to many, such as banana heart and sweet potato leaves through recipe and food tasting.
Both AIRD and Fahamu took the opportunity in advocating youth engagement in the agriculture sector because many of the farmers have expressed concern regarding lack of interest amongst Kenyan youth in the agriculture sector, that youth view farming as a form of punishment rather than something beneficial and that they'd rather be in a suit-and-tie job in Nairobi.
Hence during the Tafakari session in Gatundu North, one of the guest speakers was a youth urban farmer from Mathare named Ojiem who shared about his experience as an urban farmer along with other youths, and the crops they grow and sell which proved to be inspiring as there is hope for agriculture to be instilled in the mind of Kenyan youth, let alone youths from the city.
The objective of the Tafakari is for farmers to understand how to sustainably care for the crops and ensuring they are using the proper methods to farm. The facts that are found from the Tafakari sessions both in Machakos and Gatundu North is that organic farming is a choice, it is a lifestyle option and attitude change one needs to adapt and it is not just a matter of using zero fertilizers. Organic farming can take a lot of time and expenditures hence the best option is for each farmers to review their situation both financially and agriculturally to see whether or not they are prepared to practice organically.

Unsolicited Press Announces the Print Edition of DASH! by Irshad Abdal-Haqq
PORTLAND, OR; April 1, 2021--Unsolicited Press releases the print edition of DASH! after having immense success with the ebook release during the summer of 2020. Through this timely collection of short stories for older teens and adults, Irshad Abdal-Haqq unveils the legacy of oppression that countless generations of black Americans have endured. The first story, involving a girl and her tribe who are running for their lives from an evil army that forces female captives into sexual slavery, is reminiscent of a modern-day humanitarian refugee crisis in the Middle East, Africa, or South Asia. In a coming-of-age narrative, a teenaged boy defies law enforcement by fleeing from his rural home in the dark of night after his parents are lynched for seeking fair labor treatment. A third story is the tale of a multiethnic gang of teens who would rather live as a family of outlaws rather than endure the humiliation of racism and poverty. And in yet another, a long-time resident of a gentrifying neighborhood enlists the aid of a newcomer in her quest to fight off eviction for another month.
Action-packed and eloquently expressed, these mesmerizing stories of desperation, hope, and human frailty, will spark the imagination and touch the heart of readers of all backgrounds. And most importantly, they highlight the need for intercultural cooperation against systemic injustices that discount the value of black lives. Distinctive notes at the end of the book provide ample support for educational activities, reading group discussions, and academic study.
Irshad Abdal-Haqq writes and promotes fiction and nonfiction that highlight the links between past, present, and evolving intercultural relationships—especially those involving marginalized communities. He is the author of Brotherhood of the Gods, one of the first African American Muslim literary novels. His nonfiction has included scholarly articles and award-winning essays. Irshad's current literary plans include completion of a memoir, an intercultural dystopian novel, and a unique set of short stories about the African American Muslim experience. A former adjunct associate professor at the University of Virginia and George Mason University Law School, Irshad is a graduate of Amherst College (B.A. Black Studies), Georgetown University Law Center (J.D.), and Antioch School of Law (M.A.T. Clinical Legal Education). Though born in Newark and raised in the Greater New York City area, he now proudly calls Washington, DC home.
Dash! is available as a paperback and ebook directly from the publisher and all book retailers. The book is brought to the trade by Ingram. The author is open to media events. Contact Eric at marketing@unsolicitedpress.com

Corrello does it's best to work with the majority of Trello boards, however Trello is a very flexible tool and there is a lot of variety in how people use it. What we will give you here is a few pointers on how to best set up Trello to get the most out of Corrello. That's not to say this is the right way to set up your Trello boards but it does broadly follow what the majority of teams seem to do.
If you'd like to learn more about how others are setting up their boards you could read Scrum with Trello from InfoQ written based on what we saw from talking to hundreds of teams when originally building Corrello.
Corrello works best if you use the same board overtime for the same teams work. This allows it to best understand the history of the board. It also saves effort on your part modifying dashboards in Corrello each time a new board is created, means your team can open the same board each week to work on and you don't need to worry about copying over incomplete cards from one board to another when a new sprint starts.
The sprint board is the board the team opens each day to see what to work on. The simplest sprint board would have just three columns. Here we have a slightly more complicated one showing how you would map the lists into Corrello as backlog (todo), In Progress (Doing) and Completed (Done).
Where to store your backlog?
You can store your backlog on your main Sprint board, or on a separate 'product board'. Corrello allows you to include multiple boards in a single dashboard so it's really down to you and how large your backlog is. Obviously you could opt to store your backlog completely outside of Trello if you wished as well but that limits some of the benefits Corrello can give you such as monitoring the growth of your backlog and your progress towards completing it.
If you would like to track progress towards completion of an upcoming release or project with the release burnup chart in Corrello you should ideally set your Trello boards out something like this.
In this example, if we selected the v2.0 list for our release burnup Corrello would track all cards from that list as being part of the release burnup chart. Cards added to that list would result in the scope increasing, cards moved to the v2.1 list would see the scope drop. Cards taken from that list and completed would be burnt up on the chart.
Where the release burnup chart doesn't work is if you have a list which will never be completed. The lines will never meet and Corrello can't predict when you will be done, because you never will be!
Corrello treats archived cards differently depending on if they are completed or not. Completed cards still show up as compeleted if you archive them. It is the act of moving the card to the completed list which Corrello cares about, not that it is still in that list now. Cards Archived while in other lists are simply forgotten, it is assumed the card was deleted as it was no longer relevant.
For the most part it is preferable to archive cards and keep them on the same board, rather than move them to another board when you want to archive them. This is because of how Trello truncates the history of a card when it is moved from one board to another which makes it hard for Corrello to understand where it has been. You can still access your archived items from the menu on the right in Trello.
Rename lists? Or create new ones?
Corrello works from the list names in Trello, so if you select a list called 'Done' as your completed list, it will know to use any list with that name in any board included in your dashboard. If you change the name of that list in Trello, Corrello will not know to treat it as a completed list unless you re-select it. This is why we allow you to use a pattern to select the completed lists, as people often like to start a new done list for each week/sprint. For the most part it is best if you can avoid frequently renaming lists in Trello.
Corrello can count story points if you include them in the title of the card in ()'s. For example a card called 'Build the widget (3)' would count as 3 points. If you would also like to indicate a separate amount of points consumed after the card is completed but keep the original number you can but that in 's. Ie a card called 'Build the widget (3)' would be treated as 5 points after it was completed (ie when calculating velocity).

Pupils Learn About Physics Acting Out
Hannah Renshaw from the Institute of Physics (IoP) visited the Girls' Division to give a presentation entitled 'Physics Acting Out: Physicists get ready to rock' for the Years 9 and 10 Café Scientifique. Pupils from all year groups were invited to attend, and girls from Years 7, 8 and 11 also came along to find out more.
Hannah is the North West Regional Officer for the Institute of Physics. She opened her talk by explaining that she was the first person in her family to go to university and is the only scientist. She is now using outreach activities through the Institute of Physics to change people's perceptions of science, so that future generations of aspiring scientists will have a better chance of receiving help and support from their families in their pursuit of a career in science.
In particular, Hannah focused on the drama and music activities that are being used to connect people with physics ideas. She asked all of the pupils to stand and move around to fill the space, then instructed them to collect into groups of three, five and twelve, splitting up again and moving around in between each. As well as being a fun warm-up activity, this was also a good demonstration of how gas particles behave and was able to bring the physics concept to life.
Hannah went on to describe how, in a project with the Duke's Theatre, physics was used to generate content for drama and drama was used to explain a variety of physics concepts. This led to a performance piece. The Institute of Physics has also worked with the RNCM on a fascinating project about the perception of time. RNCM has done research into how audiences perceive the passage of time while listening to different types of music, and physicists also have worked on how the passage of time changes relative to speed. Hannah also showed a photograph of the Dark Matter Garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2015, which used poles to represent dark matter.
Finally, Hannah talked about some of the other outreach events that the Institute of Physics runs, including the use of Makey Makey kits to allow young people to create anything from a banana piano to a water-bucket DDR dance pad!
She explained that the idea behind these projects is not necessarily to inspire those involved to become scientists themselves, but to give them a greater understanding and appreciation for the world of science so that they can be supportive of their children when they bring home science homework in years to come.
Pupils asked a variety of questions and were particularly interested in how the Makey Makey kits worked and their wide variety of uses in science outreach.

By Bengali Movie / February 2, 2010
Feb 2, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Vikram Bhatt's ASA Productions has teamed up with Harbhajan Singh's Television Production Company TRP ('The Right Picture') to produce a dance reality show on television.
Vikram Bhatt would be producing the dance reality show 'Dance India Dance' season 2 on Zee TV along with Indian bowling ace Harbhajan Singh.
Vikram Bhatt, the man behind this colossal abode of ASA Productions, expressed his pleasure on producing the show and his association with the production house TRP.
"I am very happy with the new project. Dance India Dance is a great show and since I have worked with Mithun Chakraborty, Geeta Kapur, Remo D'souza and Terrence Lewis earlier, it feels great to be associated with the same people again. Dance India Dance is a great show and co-producing it with Bhajji would be a good experience, Vikram said.
Harbhajan Singh too expressed his contentment on the union. "I am very pleased with this association. The season one of the show was a huge success and we hope the same for the second season too. The participants on the show are too good and they have taken the show to a unique level".
