Q: Is It Impossible To Change SSDL Content In The Running Or The Compile Time (Visual Studio 2015 EntityFramework Database First With Oracle ) I do have a serious problem with SSDL content,is it impossible to change SSDL content because I have a lot of different DB locations like as following picture

so that when I use EntityFramework (Database First) with CRUD like as following code ,could I change it like from HTCE6 to TESTE6 etc..

by the way , I have traced the T-SQL script like as following code , I
  wish I can modify from "HTCE6"."PSI_QUOTE_DT" to other DB like
  "*****"."PSI_QUOTE_DT"

insert into "HTCE6"."PSI_QUOTE_DT"("COMP_COD", "ORDER_NOS", "ORDER_SER", "GOODS_COD", "TAX_TYP", "UNIT_AMT", "UNIT_TYP", "UNIT_NOS", "SALE_AMT", "ITEM_QNT", "DISC_RAT", "SORDER_AMT", "SORDER_TAX", "ORDER_RMK", "GIFT_FLAG", "REMAIN_QNT", "REG_AMT", "SUPLY_COD", "PURCH_AMT", "FLAG1_STA", "TRPRICE_COD", "TRANS_NOS", "TRANS_TYP", "WHOUSE_COD")

Gedeon Ngoga, Associate Director of NCDs at Inshuti Mu Buzima, PIH's sister site in Rwanda, gives a hospital tour to participants of the 2nd in-person Lancet NCDI Poverty Commission meeting in Butaro, Rwanda. Participants of this meeting represented a diverse set of countries, including Malawi, Ethiopia, Nepal, India, among others.
Promote knowledge sharing across countries regarding clinical innovations for NCDs and injuries, including integrated service delivery, clinical mentorship, and training.
Collaborate with public sector health leaders in national planning, monitoring, and priority-setting for NCDs and injuries in a way that is more reflective of their local burden.
Encourage the global NCD movement to adopt a focus more inclusive of those living in extreme poverty.
NCD Synergies works across the Partners In Health network to support NCD policy and integrated care delivery designed to reach our poorest patients. We collect, share, and advance essential NCD planning and implementation knowledge that is inclusive of those living in extreme poverty through face-to-face and virtual collaboration, including clinical mentorship and training, and development of publications, webinars, and conferences.
In one of the most exciting components of this effort, NCD Synergies has partnered with the Lancet Commission on Reframing NCDs and Injuries for the Poorest Billion (NCDI Poverty) and formalized partnerships with several ministries of health, collaborating with trusted partners on the ground to make more equitable NCD planning priorities achievable.
By providing technical support and capacity building toward national strategic planning and integrated NCD service expansion, the NCD Synergies community is a vehicle through which health leaders in low-income countries can collaborate to better serve their poorest constituents.
Working together is how change is possible. NCD Synergies amplifies the voices of people living with NCDs and injuries in settings of extreme poverty and connects the resources and tools available with leaders doing this work today, building a stronger community ready to bring care to the world's poorest.
Our approach is rooted in the design of integrated care teams. Initially, we have focused on teams that address severe, chronic NCDs such as type 1 diabetes and advanced rheumatic heart disease, as described in the Chronic Care Toolkit and The PIH Guide to Chronic Care Integration for Endemic NCDs.
NCD Synergies brings key national stakeholders together. Learn more about our participation in recent dialogues and stay in touch on upcoming events and knowledge exchanges.
The NCD Synergies project is hosted by Partners In Health, which is part of the Global Health Delivery Partnership and includes Harvard Medical School's Program in Global NCDs and Social Change, and Brigham and Women's Hospital's Division of Global Health Equity. We directly support country-level NCD programs within PIH as well as collaborate with national stakeholders across various countries.

JERSEY CITY -- A Jersey City man was arrested after allegedly beating his sister's boyfriend with a golf club as two others assaulted the victim with a pipe, authorities said.
The court document states that Santana's club swings were directed mainly to the man's left arm, which suffered injuries including a cut. He also unleashed a barrage of punches on the victim, the complaint says.
A 60-year-old Orange man has been charged with breaking a man's tooth during an attack with a wooden tire thumper in North Bergen yesterday.
Santana made his first appearance on the charges Thursday in Criminal Justice Reform Court in Jersey City via video link from Hudson County jail in Kearny. At the hearing, he was ordered released with conditions of supervision pending trial.

How artificial intelligence detects shoplifting
Updates Wednesday, May 11, 2022 –
The company Veesion has developed a software that detects theft after analyzing people's gestures and movements.
A supermarket security camera.Veesion
technology 'password' and '123456' are still among the most commonly used passwords
French company Veesion has managed to create artificial intelligence detect theft that are produced in stores. Your Country Manager in Spain, Paul WhiteIt ensures that "with a reliability of 100%".
This system works with security cameras What's in the Establishments? "It's a little box that connects to the store's internet router and the router is connected to security cameras Identify theft in real time"Seela.
To do this, a. use Algorithm which "analyzes customer gestures and movements, in addition to different body parts of people," explains Blanco.
The establishments which have the highest demand for this software are supermarketMainly big chains, "we already have 200 all over Spain".
But there are more customers with this system theft detection such as jewelry, cosmetic and electronics stores, "because of their products are small And it's easy for them to be stolen," says Pablo Blanco.
It also looks at more factors that indicate theft. "If you catch someone shelf products and puts it in his pocket, the security system orders a warningEither for store apps or mobile apps", he clarifies from Veesion.
novel algorithm
is a series of patterns Which make it more suspicious, like looking at security cameras, something that doesn't get reported but the system's algorithms make it more alert.
Another questionable feature is "Pick up multiple objects very fast". It also notifies that if consume the product Inside the store and if the item "An alert is attached and being removed".
An important aspect of this software is that it respects data security Because, "it doesn't identify the person, it doesn't recognize the face", highlights Blanco.
"This device has a more impact When it's implemented recently, because thieves don't know it and go to the store", he explains.
From Vessian he emphasizes that "the gestures and movements that this Algorithm already found out, they also work for security systems casinoEven for those in the subway if there is violent action like fighting."

The offer from Nasdaq and Borse Dubai for OMX is a positive development for the Nordic stock exchange operator, according to a report by the Financial Markets Advisory Committee.
"We believe that Nasdaq OMX will be better able to retain and improve liquidity, turnover, and placements in the Nordic region than OMX could achieve on its own, considering the stronger brand and increased capacity for innovation," said committee's chair Kerstin Hessius in a press release.
The Advisory Committee's final report, which was released on Friday, also found that Nasdaq OMX could better supply a modern marketplace than OMX could on its own.
If OMX continued independently, there was a risk that the exchange could lose turnover from larger companies to other larger exchanges.
"And it is the large cap stocks that generate profits," said Hessius.
The Financial Markets Advisory Committee was created in 2006 to advise the government on how to strengthen Stockholm's position as a financial center.
In the report, the committee also stated that the government ought to review current law to ensure that American regulations aren't applied to the Stockholm stock exchange as a result of the deal.
"We don't believe that it could happen in reality. However, the mere concern may cause companies to list elsewhere," added Hessius.
Hessius believes the deal will have a marginal impact on any specific company choosing to list on the Stockholm exchange.
Nor will the deal make it simpler to purchase American stocks simply because Nasdaq is taking over OMX.
In January, OMX's board approved the all-cash 265 kronor ($49.95) per share bid from Emirates-based Borse Dubai, and the subsequent planned acquisition by Nasdaq, following approval for the deal from U.S. regulators.


Looking through the photographs taken during the Boeber Run, and reflection thereof, I cannot help but think of the more than 50 victims of the massacre that took place in the New Zealand city of Christchurch during Friday Prayers. The harsh realities of a world filled with intolerance and hatred reared its ugly head again, and yet, they world can rally in support to the people of New Zealand.
I also cannot help but be reminded of how the homeless are treated, and feel a deep sense of sadness for the state of our humanity. All of a sudden, I cannot help but smile and feel hopeful for the future as I scroll through the images taken during the Wynberg Boeber Run.
Why smile, you ask, its simple – the number of children that have joined us, and eagerly offer a helping hand to those many often give a wide berth to by most. These kids were in the thick of it. Not just did they run, but they rolled up their sleeves and helped bring a little joy to our guests.
All of a sudden, there is hope for humanity, all of a sudden I am reminded that nobody is born with hatred in his or her heart, these are traits that are learned behaviours, taught by parents and role models. I am reminded that we, the "responsible adults" hold the future in our hands by the lessons we teach our children. It is not just about speaking of tolerance and love for your fellow man, rather, it is about showing tolerance and love for our fellow man. After all, our children learn from our example.

Medical emergencies such as cerebral malaria, diabetic coma, cardiogenic shock and many more require immediate treatment with parenteral drug administration. Intravenous (i.v.) infusion is one of the commonly preferred routes for this purpose. As one of the goals of undergraduate training is to train students in managing patients, it is mandatory that the students acquire a sound knowledge of certain basic steps of intravenous drug infusion. These include dose calculation ( viz., based on body weight and body surface area) and clinical skills ( viz. , proper collection of drugs from ampoule/vial, introduction of drug into suitable diluting fluid, i.v. drip setting, etc.). One of the ways to achieve such a goal is by including many exercises on calculation of infusion rates in the undergraduate pharmacology practicals curriculum.
Total dose: The infusion rate will not differ in case of total dose administration (e.g., infusion rate of quinine will remain the same for a 30, 50 or a 70 kg patient since it is given in the dose of 10 mg/kg in 500 ml of 10% dextrose solution which is to be administered over 4 h). In contrast to this, the infusion rate will differ when drugs are to be given at the specified rates (e.g., infusion rate of aminophylline will differ for a 30, 50 or a 70 kg patient since it is to be given in the dose of 1 mg/kg/hr in 500 ml of normal saline).
Weight (mg/kg): The weight-based dose calculation (mg/kg) is more popular despite certain disadvantages, viz., one needs to know the different doses according to body weight (mg/kg) as well as according to the age of the patient.
Body surface area: Body surface area (BSA) is another method which is considered as a more accurate basis for dose calculation since total body water, extracellular fluid volume and metabolic activity are better paralleled by it. The BSA of an individual can be calculated from the formula of Dubois [BSA (m 2) = Body weight (kg) 0.425 X Height (cm) 0.725 X 0.007184] or obtained from chart-form/slide-rule nomograms based on body weight and height. Dose recommendations in terms of BSA are available only for a limited number of drugs (e.g., anticancer drugs) as this method is more cumbersome in clinical practice.
Time: The dose of some drugs is calculated per minute and per hour (e.g., dopamine 5 mcg/kg/min and insulin 0.1 U/kg/h). The infusion rates differ for different time duration in case of anticancer drugs like paclitaxel (see below).
Average adult body weight: The dose can also be calculated by using the average adult body weight (60-70 kg) basis from the formula: [Individual dose = Body weight (kg)/70 × average adult dose].
Diluting fluid: Selection of a suitable diluting fluid is necessary for i.v., infusion. For example, 10% dextrose solution is being used for quinine infusion, which prevents hypoglycemia due to hyperinsulinemia caused by the powerful stimulatory effect of quinine on pancreatic beta cells, whereas dopamine infusion is given with 5% dextrose (acidic pH) solution for its compatibility and stability with the latter (i.e., 5% dextrose).
Some problems that may be encountered during dose calculation are listed below.
To calculate the rate of quinine infusion is simple since quinine is to be given in 500 ml of 10% dextrose solution, to be administered over 4 h (i.e., we have to administer 500 ml of 10% dextrose solution with the required dose of quinine over 4 h).
Thus, it is obvious that such an infusion rate for aminophylline (133-167 drops/min) is not practically feasible.
The correct calculation for the rate of aminophylline infusion is given below.
You have decided to give i.v. infusion of aminophylline for a child (10 years old, 30 kg) suffering from acute bronchial asthma (Dose: 1 mg/kg/hr). Set an i.v. drip for this patient.
C.	Aminophylline is available as 2.5% W/V in 10 ml ampoule, i.e. 250 mg/10 ml.
Introduce all 10 ml of Inj. aminophylline into 500 ml of normal saline solution.
Now we have 250 mg in 500 ml of normal saline solution, i.e. 30 mg will be present in 30/250 × 500 = 60 ml, which is to be administered in 1 h.
So, the rate of aminophylline administration will be 16-20 drops/min.
So, 1 ml will have 1/500 × 200 = 0.5 mg of aminophylline.
So, 30 mg will be present in 30/0.5 × 1 = 60 ml, which is to be administered in 1 h.
Calculate the required dose for aminophylline infusion for a child suffering from acute bronchial asthma (12 years old, 37 kg, BSA 1.25 m 2 Dose: 1 mg/kg/h).
This shows that there is no difference in doses calculated by mg/kg and average adult body weight-based rules, but there is a definite difference when both are compared with the BSA-based rule. The dose calculated by the Salisbury rule is closer to the BSA-based value.
Metabolism of theophylline (aminophylline) is often faster in children, after the first year of life,than in adults; and there is a marked interindividual variation in the rate of its elimination (average half-life is about 3.5 h in young children as compared to 8-9 h in adults)., Considering these pharmacokinetic parameters as well as the narrow safety margin of aminophylline, the more accurate BSA-based rule may be preferred for dose calculation, keeping in mind its limited application in a clinical set-up.
Paclitaxel (an anticancer drug) is to be given in different schedules [ Schedule 1: 175 mg/m 2 over 3 h (infusion rate: 58 mg/m 2 per hour, plasma clearance: 212 ml/min per m 2) and Schedule 2: 175 mg/m 2 over 24 hours (infusion rate: 7 mg/m 2 per hour, plasma clearance: 393 ml/min per m 2)]. A practical problem may arise if one calculates the dose of paclitaxel for schedule 2 from schedule 1. The dose and infusion rate will become 1400 mg/m 2 and 58 mg/m 2 respectively, which appear very different from the actual schedule 2 for 24 h. As clearance of paclitaxel is saturable and decreases with an increasing dose or dose rate, such probable mistakes will definitely affect the clinical response.
To conclude, during undergraduate pharmacology practicals, different aspects, such as total dose, weight (mg/kg and average adult body weight basis), BSA, time duration and diluting solution, as well as likely practical problems that may arise during dose calculation, should be highlighted by demonstrating different exercises on the calculation of infusion rates.

All by changing just one essential thing: The water they drink.
I promote the consumption of molecular hydrogen (H2)-rich, alkaline antioxidant water that is filtered 500x finer than a typical water filter, removing over 200 contaminants like volatile organic compounds, heavy metals, herbicides and pesticides. 1,000 peer-reviewed scientific papers and studies suggest that "H2 has therapeutic potential in 170 disease models, and in essentially every organ of the human body." H2 water therapy is an emerging medical science, with no adverse side effects. I sell these compact devices (vetted as medical devices in South Korea, where they are manufactured) at 30% below the company's MSRP, and sell the water for $3.00 per gallon – half may be applied toward a future machine sale. These units feature a lifetime, unlimited warranty, dual filters at kidney dialysis fineness (0.01 micron), and 11 titanium-platinum ionizing plates. Unlike a well-known Japanese brand, this company is NOT multi-level sales. No upline, no downline, no team calls – just better health for you and your family.
BizNet continues to be a reliable source of business referrals to me, and is an important forum for introducing new elements of my business. The opportunity to inform smart, well-connected professionals multiplies my efforts, as they each have a large "warm market" to further promote my message of better health.

Not just bad shoes and sore muscles – she had peripheral artery disease
By Suzanne Marta, American Heart Association News
Abigail Dudek celebrating her 40th birthday in Las Vegas. (Photo courtesy of Abigail Dudek)
Abigail Dudek celebrated her 40th birthday in Las Vegas a few months ago, grateful to go hiking and cycling without pain for the first time in more than two years.
The problem started in April 2018. As her county's 911 public educator, she spent most the day on her feet at a public event. Although she was accustomed to achy feet, this time it felt different.
"It was like a hard pea in between my toes on my right foot," she said. "It didn't come on gradually, it was just suddenly there."
A week later, she consulted with a podiatrist. He said Abigail likely had Morton's neuroma, a thickening of the tissue that surrounds a nerve leading to the toes. The treatment seemed simple: wear more supportive shoes.
Abigail did, but her symptoms only got worse.
An active cyclist and hiker, she felt her calf and shin throb during exercise, relenting only when she stopped. Her foot would go numb when she laid down.
Months later, Abigail saw an orthopedist. He suggested the problem could be very tight muscles. The new treatment involved six months of physical therapy.
Still, Abigail said, "nothing seemed to help."
By mid-2019, she was having trouble sleeping. Her right foot would get unusually cold and turn white when she laid down. No matter how warm it was, she needed thick winter socks to keep her feet warm.
"I would have to hang my leg off the bed to get any relief," she said.
The pain was too much for hiking, but Abigail continued cycling. It became an outlet for navigating the emotional toll of her frustration and the pain. She also realized another clue.
"My foot would go completely numb and I'd have sharp pain in my calf and upper thigh, but it would go away when I stopped and rested," she said.
Abigail's hunt for answers continued. A neurologist said she had something called complex regional pain syndrome. Medication for that didn't help.
In early 2020, she returned to the orthopedist, wondering if the problem stemmed from a pinched nerve in her back. The orthopedist ruled that out, but eventually referred her to a sports medicine specialist in Dallas, about an hour drive from her home in Fort Worth.
The new doctor felt her left leg. Then the right. Then he said, "I can feel a temperature difference. I think you need to see the vascular team."
Four weeks later, technicians measured the blood flow in each of her toes and legs. Even with no training in this, Abigail recognized a serious problem.
"When they did my left leg, I could hear the pulse and it sounded normal," she said, "but when they did my right leg, I couldn't hear anything."
Two days later – and more than two and a half years since the long day on her feet that started it all – Abigail got the correct diagnosis. A vascular surgeon told Abigail she had a blood clot in her leg. Formally, she had critical limb ischemia, a severe type of peripheral artery disease. PAD is a narrowing or blockage of vessels that carry blood from the heart to the legs.
"She told me it was so bad that it could have killed me, or I could have lost my leg," Abigail said.
Eleven days later, Abigail underwent a femoral to tibial artery bypass. The surgeon essentially rerouted the blood flow from her groin area to her lower right leg, leaving a scar from her inner thigh to nearly her ankle.

Abigail used a walker for the first couple weeks, rebuilding strength gradually. Within four weeks, she returned to her favorite 16-mile bike route.
PAD affects 6.5 million people ages 40 and above, and is primarily caused by atherosclerosis, or a buildup of fatty plaque in the arteries. Leg pain during exercise that gets better after rest, like Abigail experienced, is a classic symptom of PAD, although as many as 4 in 10 people with PAD don't experience it.
Doctors are still trying to figure out what caused Abigail to develop PAD. She doesn't have the common risk factors, which in addition to atherosclerosis include smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol and being over 60 years old.
Doctors also are monitoring her left leg, as she's showing early signs of it there, too. The pain is again manifesting in her foot.
The initial pain in her right foot was likely caused by a blood clot, her doctor said, adding that it could have caused a stroke had it reached her brain. Pre-surgery testing also revealed Abigail has a hole in her heart, a congenital heart defect that can also increase the risk of stroke. Sometimes these holes are closed via surgery, but Abigail's doctors said it wasn't necessary.
To lower her risks, Abigail follows a heart-healthy diet that's low in saturated fats and sodium. Her husband, Jeremiah Dudek, who does the couple's grocery shopping and meal prep, switched to whole-grain versions of bread and pastas, added more lean protein and looks for ways to reduce sodium in their diet.
"It's a lot of label-reading," he said. "We use a lot more lemon and spices to flavor things up instead of salt now."
Having seen how important physical activity was for Abigail, Jeremiah has gotten more serious about his own health.
"I make sure I make my step count every day now," he said. "Before I'd say, 'There's always tomorrow.' But tomorrow is no guarantee."

Abigail continues to stay active. Beyond the obvious health benefits, her doctor said her frequent cycling may have helped save her life by keeping blood pumping through her leg.
Abigail also has a better appreciation for the importance of advocating for yourself.
"You know your body best, if something feels wrong, keeping asking until you find an answer," she said. "If I can help save one life and one limb, it's worth it to me."

In this card we see a man lying on the ground with ten swords thrust into his chest. A pool of blood spills out onto the ground. A book lies open in the foreground. In the background we see hills.
I think it is interesting that Place calls this card 'The Victim'. It is a reminder that the card is a sword/air card and that mental energies/thoughts play a part.
Clearly in this card there is an ending, a tragedy, and as Place says the worst has happened and now we can heal. He also says that "negativity has focused on one person".
I guess bad things do happen and we can choose to take on the role of victim and lie there taking it and then identifying who we are with the pain we have experiences, or we can move on and learn from it (maybe represented by the book) and begin a new cycle.
A man stabbed with ten swords lies in a pool of blood. An open book lies in the foreground. Ten have come back to one; negativity has focussed on one person.
Tarot wisdom: The worst has happened. Killing criticism, words or even deeds have created physical or emotional pain, or both. The message also expresses the negativity of censorship, which is especially symbolized by the book. But focus on the bright side. The deed is done; now you can heal.
Ten Swords stab painfully down into the heart of the Victim. Ten swords seems like too many to do the job. Like it was done to make a statement. The swords point down indicating that there are negative thoughts. It could be the Victim's thoughts or thoughts about the victim, thoughts of rejection or injury. But in the foreground is an open book, symbol of available knowledge. The loss may be painful and seem a great injury, but it is a completion. It represents an ending of the suffering and a new beginning made better by the lessons of the past.

In today's competitive environment, it 's nearly impossible to license or go into the marketplace without patent protection on your product. Once you filed your patent application you might expose your idea, seek a licensing partner get noticed and be the application process.
Even after your device is issued a patent, is actually an always a chance that someone can design around your patent claims and produce a similar brand. This does happen often. Occasion called vehicles enterprise software. It is really system using a planet, so go in order for it!
After receiving utility patents, maintenance fees are needed to be paid in order to save your patent protection from expiring. Need to true if the utility patent was issued on or after December 12, 1980. Maintenance fees are due no later than the end of years 4, 8 and 12 from the date the patent was issued for the patent protection to relax in force. If for example the maintenance fee is not paid every it is due, the patent protection will lapse and won' longer stay in force. However, there can be a grace period after the due date in in which the maintenance fee can be paid, inside addition to other re-instatement fees, and also the patent protection will be reinstated.
So, in case you find your invention has been previously patented or you see something that looks interesting to you, and you have never witnessed it around market, contact the inventor and discover what is certainly on. Be matter of fact about it. Tell individual you always be interested in purchasing their patent and get out what it would take for them to assign it to your company. Make sure they are aware of you are a private individual and not a big providers. You may a little surprised as to how many patents hand calculators pick mass popularity. By the way, I recommend hiring your lawyer to explore the status of the patent, price reinstatement, maintenance and other fees, prepare all contracts and recommend any patents you are interested in generating. I'm not a legal professional and Practical goal giving you any legal or professional advice.
As I stated earlier, these are just a few possible techniques that you can utilize information from patent documents. You shouldn't be limited to be able to the ways that are presented here. Be creative. Find the gold everybody else is overlooking!

Bangladesh records lowest temperature in 30 years
Insider Desk

(3) A+ A-
According to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department, the temperature across the country on December 20 and 21 was much lower than the average for the same period of the last 30 years. During the last two days, the average temperature in different parts of the country was 9-15 degrees Celsius at night and 22-24 degrees Celsius during the day.
According to meteorologists, the temperature is 1-5 degrees lower than the national average for the last 30 years. That is why even though mild to moderate cold wave is prevailing in 10 districts of the country at the moment, lower than normal temperature is being felt all over the country.
Meteorologist MD Abul Kalam Mallick said that the feeling of winter is more this year. Temperatures across the country, especially in the northern and north-western districts, may remain below normal for the next few days.
The Meteorological Department says that according to the general temperature calculation of Bangladesh if the minimum temperature in a large area is between 8 to 10 degrees, it is called a mild cold wave. If the temperature is between 6 and 8 degrees then it is called moderate cold flow. But if the temperature drops below 6 degrees Celsius then it is considered severe cold.

Night temperature may rise slightly and day temperature may remain nearly unchanged across the country.
The low pressure area over southeast Bay and adjoining area persists. One of its associated trough extends up to northeast Bay.
UNB's Chuadanga correspondent reports that poor people, especially daily labourers, are the worst sufferers due to this cold spell. Many of them preferred to remain indoor due to the shivering weather.
Movement was also disrupted due to poor visibility caused by dense fog.
People are thronging the local markets to buy warm clothes.
Rakibul Hasan, in-charge of the Chuadanga Weather Observatory Centre, said, "The weather department has recorded a minimum temperature of 9.3 degree Celsius on Saturday which is the lowest temperature across the country this year. The mercury may fall in the coming days."
Meanwhile, the hospitals in the districts are overwhelmed with patients with cold-related diseases.
The UNB correspondent found that over 150 children and many adults are admitted at the outdoor facilities of hospitals.
Dr. Mahbubur Rahman Milon, a child specialist of Chuadanga Sadar Hospital, said, "As a mild cold wave is sweeping over the district, the number of patients with cold-related diseases are increasing day by day. All the physicians and staff are struggling to provide healthcare services to the patients."

Maritime ports asked to alert vessels of possible squall
The maritime ports of Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, Mongla and Payra have been asked to hoist at the mast local cautionary signal No 3 to alert vessels of a possible squall.
The weather office's advisory for cautionary signal No 3 -- which means a depression has formed and may affect the port later -- comes in the wake of the formation of a low-pressure area over the west-central Bay and the adjoining Northwest Bay.
It is likely to intensify further, the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) said in a special bulletin on Saturday morning.
Under its influence, a deep convection is taking place over the North Bay and adjoining areas.
Squally weather may affect the maritime ports, the North Bay and the adjoining coastal areas of Bangladesh.
All fishing boats and trawlers over the North Bay and deep sea have been advised to remain closer to the coast and proceed with caution till further notice, the bulletin said.
They have also been advised not to venture into the deep sea.

San Diego's Oldest Restaurant Has Closed
Yesterday was the last round of service for San Diego's oldest restaurant, Pekin Cafe Chop Suey, which has been a fixture on University Avenue in North Park for almost 90 years.
Founded by Chinese immigrant Leo Fong in 1931, Chop Suey Peking Restaurant is considered by many as San Diego's oldest operating restaurant, predating other historic San Diego eateries such as The Waterfront Bar (1933), Tobey's 19th Hole (1934), The Chicken Pie Shop (1938), and Hob Nob Hill (1944). Fong's daughters, Maria & Anna, currently operate the business and many employees have been there for decades, continuing the longstanding tradition of serving free black tea and Cantonese-style dishes from steel carts.
"Thank you San Diego and North Park for 88 wonderful years of beautiful memories," said restaurant staff on a post to the company's Facebook Page. "Peking Restaurant is officially closed. These last 3 months have been so incredibly heartwarming and heartbreaking as so many of you came in to share your stories and say your goodbyes. It has been an absolute pleasure knowing you all and serving you through the generations. We will miss you all. Thank you for welcoming us into your lives and making us a part of your tradition."
Peking Restaurant has closed on its own accord so older staff could retire and the younger generation, including the original founder's grandchildren, would be able to pursue other interests. There is no word on who will be taking over the space at 2877 University Avenue in San Diego's North Park community.
"Everyone is just ready to retire," said Stephanie Fong, the granddaughter of the original founder. We talked about it as a family and decided to let it go with the people who made it what it is all these years. While everyone is healthy and happy, we'll let them enjoy their lives and relax. It's bitter sweet for sure."

Individuals With A Common Gene Variant Appear More Likely To Have Blockages In Artery "Stents"
DALLAS, July 1 -- Doctors may have a way to identify people with heart disease whose coronary arteries will become obstructed again after they have been propped open with tiny metal tubes called stents. The clue may be found, French scientists say, not in the individuals' diseased blood vessel but in their genes, according to a report in today's American Heart Association journal Circulation.
Stents are implanted after balloon angioplasty, which is used to restore blood flow to the heart in people whose blood vessels have been blocked by cholesterol-laden plaque. Stents have reduced the number of relapses following angioplasty, but blockages still occur after up to 20 percent of implantations of the "Slinky"-type coils, researchers say. When relapses occur, coronary bypass or angioplasty may be needed to prevent heart attack and death.
The researchers found that patients with one readily identifiable variant of what's known as the "ACE gene" are up to four times more susceptible to the vessel-reclogging problem, called restenosis, after a stent installation, compared to other individuals having the least active form of the gene. An expert in genetics research calls the report a "remarkable account of gene-environment interaction." If confirmed, writes Klaus Lindpaintner, M.D., in a Circulation commentary, "These developments herald a new and coming era of disease management where drugs are custom-tailored to the genetic profile of individual patients, resulting in a higher rate of treatment success and a lower incidence of side effects.
"And the findings are likely to attain direct practical importance in clinical medicine by providing a tool for risk assessment and prognostication."
But these "intriguing" results first need to be validated in larger trials, cautions Lindpainter, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, and a geneticist and director of cardiovascular research at F. Hoffman-La Roche Pharmaceuticals in Basel, Switzerland.
The scientists, whose report appears in Circulation, are from the Institut Pasteur and Hôpital Cardiologique in Lille, France. They studied 146 consecutive individuals who had the flexible metal scaffolds placed in heart vessels after balloon angioplasty. In a six-month follow-up, 31 of the patients had recurring blockages, defined as obstruction of more than 50 percent of treated vessel's opening through which blood flows. Genetic testing showed that a disproportionately large number of the 31 carried the "DD" variant of the ACE gene, compared to the number with "ID" and "II" forms.
The investigators, led by Carole Amant and Michel E. Bertrand, M.D., say the relative risk of restenosis after stenting appears to be proportional to the number of D variants (one or two) carried by an individual. The researchers say their results show that the ACE gene pattern "is an independent predictor of the degree of late [vessel diameter] narrowing after coronary stenting."
Everyone has one of the ACE gene combinations -- DD, ID or II (pronounced "eye-eye") -- scientists explain. The gene encodes for angiotensin converting enzyme, or ACE.
The enzyme "turns on" angiotensin, a protein that in its activated state plays a role in the disease process such as high blood pressure and other disorders including heart and kidney failure. Drugs called ACE-inhibitors, which reduce the enzyme's activity, are effective in treating these disorders.
Earlier studies have shown that individuals with the DD form of the ACE gene have higher circulating levels of ACE. Amant, Bertrand and their co-workers speculate that increased activity of ACE may account for the higher degree of blood vessel wall thickening seen in those who have the DD variant.
But results of research testing this concept have been mixed, the French scientists and Lindpaintner agree. Animal studies that suggested ACE-inhibitors could control the frothy buildup of blockages after an artery is damaged by a balloon did not pan out in clinical trials in humans.
Investigators believe there may be a biological link between the specific type of cellular accumulation that clogs arteries following stent placement and the activity of angiotensin converting enzyme. This process of reacting to a "foreign body"-- the metal stent -- may differ, the scientists think, from the cellular changes in the artery wall (called "remodeling") that result in wall thickening and vessel narrowing after conventional balloon angioplasty, which doesn't include implanting a stent.
While many questions remain to be resolved by additional studies, advances in DNA analysis and gene-mapping make future developments in the field highly promising, Lindpaintner says. Techniques allowing direct testing of DNA have caused a "paradigm shift," he notes.
One result of the most recent research findings, Lindpaintner says, is that doctors may soon be able to identify individuals with the genetic tendency toward clotting inside coronary stents, then take additional preventive steps to help them remain free of blockages, such as through the use of "radioactive" stents. These experimental coils have been pre-treated with a low-grade radioactive material that in early tests has shown promise in keeping stents free of new blockages while remaining otherwise harmless.
Co-authors of the study with Amant and Bertrand are Christophe Bauters, M.D.; Jean-Christophe Bodart, M.D.; Jean-Marc Lablanche, M.D.; Gilles Grollier, M.D.; Nicolas Danchin, M.D.; Martial Hamon, M.D.; Florence Richard, M.D.; Nicole Helbecque, Ph.D.; Eugene P.

Broken Promises & Bald-Faced Lies: Clinton & Sanders Stumble Their Way Towards Support From HIV/AIDS Advocates
By Drew Gibson on May 15, 2016 • ( 0 )
Under most circumstances, it would have been hard to begrudge Hillary Clinton too much for saying a few nice things about Nancy Reagan at her funeral earlier this year. Regardless of your feelings towards either woman, it is usually considered good form to give at least tepid praise to the dead after they have passed and, as members of that elite cadre of extant First Ladies, they could relate to one another regarding the unique pressures of that position like only 4 other women in this country can. With that being said, there is a very definite line between praising the deceased and inverting history to make her look better, which is what Clinton did when she praised Nancy Reagan for helping start a national conversation on AIDS, a comment that makes about as much as lauding Marie Antoinette for her work to promote income equality.
After the inevitable uproar from the the HIV and LGBT communities, Clinton immediately walked back her remarks, giving a fairly soft apology and claiming that she "misspoke" when referring to Mrs. Reagan's record regarding AIDS. It's hard to see how a woman who lived through the unmitigated hell that was the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s and the Reagans' deliberate refusal to so much as acknowledge it could misspeak in such a manner, especially one who has, like Mrs. Clinton, been working with HIV and LGBT advocates for going on 25 years and who helped launch PEPFAR's Blueprint For An AIDS-Free Generation during her time as Secretary of State. The answer, I suspect, is as simple as it is unsatisfactory: she screwed up.
When Clinton made the remarks that she did about Nancy Reagan and HIV on MSNBC, she was in full-on pander mode. Knowing full well the reverence with which most conservatives hold the Reagans, she was probably trying her best to endear herself to many of the socially moderate, fiscally conservative Republicans and independents that she hopes to pick off in the general election and, due to some combination of word vomit and selective amnesia, she ended up praising Nancy Reagan for doing something she most certainly never did.

The apology that Clinton gave for her statements meant about as close to nothing as you can get without saying anything at all. A presidential candidate saying they misspoke about something after public outcry against them is the political equivalent of a child apologizing to his parents because he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. However, Mrs. Clinton does deserve credit for following through with her pledge to meet with HIV activists earlier this week in the wake of her Reagan snafu to hear their concerns and outline, in a non-specific manner, what she would do to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic as President. As she did in an op-ed that she published after her controversial comments, Clinton called for increasing access to PrEP, capping drug costs and out-of-pocket medical expenses and reform of punitive HIV criminalization laws. The general attitude of those asked for comment after the meeting seemed to be subdued, but encouraged.
By contrast, the whole Nancy Reagan snafu left Bernie Sanders in a rather politically enviable position. Unlike Mrs. Clinton, who has been very involved—for good or ill—with HIV/AIDS advocacy groups throughout her political career, Senator Sanders doesn't have much of a record to stand on when it comes to the issues related to HIV. This was a tremendous opportunity for Mr. Sanders to not just distinguish himself from the neoliberal policies of his rival in the Democratic Party, but, more importantly, to demonstrate to those people living with HIV that he truly cares about their unique struggles, that he is well versed in the specific issues being posed by the HIV epidemic today, and that he would continue to engage in healthy dialogue with them if he is elected President. Thus far, the Independent Senator from Vermont has not taken advantage of that opportunity.
Earlier this week, the Sanders campaign cancelled their meeting with HIV/AIDS activists that had been in the works since before the New York primary. No reason was given for the cancellation and the HIV/AIDS advocates who had been expecting to meet with Senator Sanders were left completely in the dark. On its own, this qualifies as an understandable, albeit unnerving, lack of follow-through on behalf of the Sanders campaign. However, this was in fact the 2nd time that that Bernie Sanders—or at least Sanders' handlers—had left these HIV/AIDS activists high and dry. Before the cancelled meeting this week there was another cancelled meeting that was scheduled for the first week of May. Another meeting has supposedly been set up between the activists and Senator Sanders on May 25th while the presidential candidate is in California.
Whether this meeting takes place or not remains to be seen, but, either way, the Sanders campaign has managed to pretty thoroughly drop the ball on this issue thus far, something they cannot afford to do if they still have designs on winning the Democratic nomination. Two of the demographics with which Hillary has the largest leads over Bernie thus far in the primaries—blacks and LGBT folks—are also the two demographics that are being hit hardest by the HIV epidemic. It's hard to imagine a rational or strategic reason why the Sanders campaign would repeatedly renege on meetings with HIV/AIDS activists, so the only reasonable explanation I can come up with is that Sanders' campaign staff is either too small or too unorganized to keep up with their candidate's schedule.
This is not say that the Hillary Clinton is necessarily a better candidate for HIV/AIDS advocates and people living with HIV than Bernie Sanders. Given the obscenely high prices of antiretroviral drugs, the byzantine nature of HIV service provision in today's post-Affordable Care Act landscape and the ways in which what state you live in can be the biggest determinant of the quality of HIV care a person receives, Sanders' proposed universal health care plan would be a boon to both people living with HIV as well as those who provide HIV treatment and prevention services and those who advocate for more robust HIV policies. Ask the thousands of HIV positive Kentuckians who don't know if they'll be able to keep their Medicaid in the years to come because of the election of one Tea Party Governor or the hundreds of thousands more HIV positive folks who live in parts of the country that are, not coincidentally, fighting Medicaid expansion and Obamacare tooth and nail and are the hardest hit by the HIV epidemic if the current healthcare system is working for them and I have a feeling most of them will say it isn't. With that being said, there is nothing in Bernie Sanders' history that shows me he has a commitment to advocating for the rights of HIV positive Americans in specific.
Senator Sanders speaking at a Senate subcommittee meeting on the Prize Fund for HIV/AIDS Act, which he sponsored in 2011
A perfect example of the reason I feel this way is the one piece of HIV/AIDS-related legislation that Bernie has put forth in the Senate. The legislation, the Prize Fund for HIV/AIDS Act, was proposed by Senator Sanders in 2011 to try and fundamentally shift the way in which we, as a society, incentivize the development of new HIV medications in a way that both encourages development and that reduces the cost of newly developed drugs. There is nothing wrong with this legislation in and of itself. Anyone who has even a passing understanding of the prices the pharmaceutical companies charge for brand name HIV medications and the shortages that have historically resulted from those inflated prices—Big Pharma executives and investors excluded—should agree that the development and patent process for HIV meds is fundamentally flawed and needs to be overhauled in a way that allows for universal access to those medications for people who need them. However, this bill was never really about people living with HIV so much as it was about the busting up of monopolies and the institution of sweeping patent reform in the United States.
If you doubt me, I encourage you to watch this video showing what Sanders and his staffers thought were the most prescient moments from the Senate subcommittee meeting on the Prize Fund for HIV/AIDS Act. Somehow, the Sanders folks managed to come up with a video about a Senate subcommittee on a piece of HIV/AIDS legislation that involves no other Senators, no witnesses with any experience working with HIV, and no mention of HIV/AIDS from the person who created the legislation. A look at the full 95 minute recording of the meeting doesn't instill much confidence in Senator Sanders' commitment to HIV advocacy considering that it took him a full 6 minutes to even mention HIV/AIDS during his address to the subcommittee and that, before doing so, he explicitly stated that the concepts he would talk about were applicable to all diseases and that he had submitted prize fund legislation for those as well.
Again, this is not to say that Bernie Sanders couldn't be an effective advocate for people living with HIV. The plan that the Sanders campaign put forth concerning the Senator's HIV policy was, while very focused on pharmaceutical reform and non-HIV specific reforms regarding universal health care and opposition to the Trans Pacific Partnership, clear on his intention to expand Ryan White, PEPFAR and HOPWA funding, which should provide some reassurance to HIV advocates as to the sorts of policies a Sanders administration might pursue. But, the bottom line is that actions speak significantly louder than words and, if Bernie either fails to meet with HIV/AIDS activists later in May or meets with them and doesn't display a firm commitment to fighting for the specific needs of people living with HIV, none of that's going to matter.

Pedestrian struck by vehicle in Massachusetts
On behalf of Dane Shulman Associates, LLC posted in Pedestrian Accidents on Thursday, June 12, 2014.
According to Natick police, a car hit a man loading landscaping equipment into his pickup truck's bed, leaving him with significant head injuries. The pedestrian accident occurred on Speen Street on June 7, reportedly.
The man was airlifted to the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in Worcester for treatment, police said. The head injury reportedly involved a 'lot of bleeding," but the extent of the man's injuries was not immediately clear in the aftermath of the incident. Police did indicate that the head injuries were significant.
Purportedly, there were two occupants inside the car that struck the man, and both suffered injuries in the crash. Reportedly, there were no skid marks left behind on the road where the collision occurred. Police commenced an investigation into the incident. Moreover, police expect to file charges against the driver of the car, authorities reported.
A head injury can result in memory loss, changes in personality, mobility impairment and several other issues. Individuals who suffer head injuries often require surgery, multiple hospital stays and long-term medical care. In addition, the injured individuals must take significant time off from work while they recover.
However, accident victims may seek financial compensation for all of these damages stemming from their head injuries in civil court. By retaining a personal injury lawyer and filing suit against the parties responsible for the accident, victims might be awarded restitution for hospital bills, the expenses associated with rehabilitation and therapy, prescription medicine costs and even lost wages.
To prevail in such a lawsuit, the accident victims must demonstrate to a civil court the specific damages they suffered as a result of the crash. The personal injury lawyer may advise them as to what materials to obtain or keep as evidence, such as medical records, hospital bills and witness statements.

Sales Analysis. AdCapital AG reported sales of 155.88 million Euro (US$175.34 million) for the year ending December of 2018. This represents a decrease of 2.3% versus 2017, when the company's sales were 159.51 million Euro.


The half production year 928 for 1986 has turned out to become one of the favorites among 928 enthusiasts. It combines the best of the later S4 mechanical developments with the lighter and more elegant/simpler design of the first generation. These cars received the 5.0L/32 valve motor like the later S4s as well as the larger Brembo brakes, ABS, S4 updated suspension package, and similar improved flow exhaust system. Basically, all the mechanicals of the S4 in a 200lb lighter body. Also, the transmission was refined and shifted quicker utilizing first gear. Only 2,000 of these unique models were delivered to North America.
The first owner was a local Orange County resident. He was a retired colonel in the US Air Force as well as a flight surgeon. Furthermore, he was twice elected mayor of a local Orange County city. As an avid collector, he had up to 200 cars at one time. He purchased this 928 new from the local Porsche dealer and used it lightly for the first decade. During that time, he kept his favorite cars of his collection in his home garage. This 928 lived most of its life there. He accrued about 11,000-miles while driving it. Then, in 1996, he decided to preserve the car and stored it. Most of the services were performed at the selling dealership and there are corresponding stamps in the original maintenance book. We also have a copy of the original title. Furthermore, this was the one year the state of California issued the "Golden State" license plates as standard issue and this 928 retains its original current registered plates from when sold new.
In total, this owner has invested over $27,000 preserving this 928 and keeping it in top running condition.
This Porsche is in excellent survivor and original condition. The paint looks fantastic with hardly any signs of use. It is all original paint and verified with a meter (see pics). There are a few very light scratches (see pics.) All the glass is original, including the windshield, and has no significant chips or cracks. All the correct factory stampings are visible. All the exterior lights work properly and all the lenses look great with no cracks or fading. The original factory wheels were chromed when new at the dealer and look great with no curb rashes. They are wearing near full tread BF Goodrich tires. All four wheel locks are in place with new plastic covers from Porsche. An extra pair of chrome wheels (see pic) are available for an additional fee. The front brakes are new and the rear brakes have over 75% life remaining.
The interior looks equally as nice and shows very little signs of wear. The interior is all original. The leather seats have no cracks or tears. The carpet has no stains. There are no unusual odors and it still smells like leather inside. The headliner has no tears and looks great. The door panels still look crisp with no sagging of the pockets. The dash is perfect with no cracks or warping. All the gauges work properly. The digital LCD clocks works with full display of digits. The original radio works but has been removed and safeguarded (see pic) while a modern Bluetooth unit has been installed. The factory amp that is hidden in the rocker under the carpet has stopped working and was replaced with a modern unit. All the buttons look great with no signs of wear. Everything electric works including the sunroof, windows, door locks, and mirrors. The A/C system blows ice cold. All the interior lights work. The interior looks brand new.
The trunk and engine compartments look just as you would expect a 15k-mile preserved example should look. There is hardly any signs of wear. The original space saver looks unused. The tool kit is complete. A battery tender has been hardwired to the battery. The hoses and plastic air intakes for the engine have no cracks. Even, the original hood sound pad is in place, although somewhat fragile.
This exceptional example of a 928 is not only a rare and desirable model year, but also in a great color combination with an excellent documented history. It could easily compete at a national concours level in preservation class or be used for vintage touring events. In fact, it won its class at our local PCA Zone 8 Concours. Unlike other low-mile examples, this one has been sorted and serviced. It is ready to be enjoyed.
Current California registration is good through November of 2018 and it has a current smog certificate.
This 928 comes with the original owner's manuals, all extra/original keys, 2-car covers, concours trophy, space saver spare, tool kit, jack, cargo cover, original radio, original amplifier, Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, extra set of floor mats, and battery tender.
