A QUANTUM LEAP FOR MOBILITY?
ca. 4 minutes
Digitalisation is one of the driving factors behind the transformation of individual mobility. The BMW Group is pressing ahead with systematic digitalisation across all areas of the company, continuously improving processes throughout the value chain.
Achieving the best results possible depends on having the right tools – and this includes highly-advanced computers. Both scientific organisations and corporations are now developing a new, considerably more powerful tool – the quantum computer.
We talked to Oliver Wick (on the right), a technology scout for the BMW Group's Research division, and Bernhard Pflugfelder (on the left), a specialist in artificial intelligence and machine learning, about what lies behind "quantum computing". Even today the BMW Group is already putting this new technology to work in order to drive progress within the mobility industry in the medium and long term.
Mr. Wick, Mr. Pflugfelder: How would you describe a quantum computer in layman's terms?
Wick: Classic computers – from laptops to smartphones – process information in a binary system that uses so-called bits – from 'binary digits'
– with a value expressed either as 0 or 1.
In quantum computers, the smallest unit of information is called a qubit – short for 'quantum bit'. These qubits can be much more than just 0 or 1. In quantum computing, quantum-mechanical phenomena, with names like 'tunnelling', 'quantum entanglement' and 'quantum interference', are used to speed up certain computing operations. This means a qubit can be put in a state that can also take on values between 0 and 1 – theoretically, an infinite number at the same time. This is referred to as a superposition state.
Pflugfelder: With quantum entanglement, it is theoretically possible to map a previously unthinkable amount of data and process it at high speed. In our research, for example, we considered a problem where there were theoretically 10107 possible solutions: calculating the optimal route for a robot that seals weld-seams on cars. This exercise would take current state-of-the-art computers several years. Quantum computers, on the other hand, can calculate all the possibilities within just a few seconds.
That sounds very promising. Is it already possible today?
Pflugfelder: These are highly complex machines and development is still in the early stages. We also have to translate use cases with a completely new kind of algorithm development so that they can be solved in a quantum system.
Wick: If we think back 80 years or so, the first computers initially relied on room-filling hardware with horrendous energy consumption. Many experts were sceptical about the new technology at the time. These systems have undergone tremendous development since then and modern computers have found their way into almost all areas of life, becoming indispensable in the process. A modern smartphone has more computing power than NASA had access to for the lunar landing programme at that time.
So, the quantum computer's hour of glory is still some way off?
Pflugfelder: Definitely. And quantum computers aren't necessarily right for every kind of task. They currently tend to be used for problems where our classic systems come up against an insurmountable barrier. In materials research, for example, quantum computers can simulate the behaviour of material combinations at an unprecedented level, e.g. for development of new kinds of batteries.
Another field of application for existing quantum systems is tasks involving optimisation – for example, with our painting robots. The aim is to find the optimal configuration of certain systems. Production lines and traffic control systems could be additional application areas.
A really fast-growing field of research is so-called quantum machine learning, where quantum computers are used to accelerate certain classic machine-learning processes. These new kinds of learning processes for artificial intelligence could be particularly useful in autonomous driving.
How did You approach this complex topic?
Wick: We have been studying quantum computing very closely since 2017. We looked at the potential impact of quantum computing on our processes, products and services and identified possible use cases. We explored three of them in a feasibility study on early quantum computers conducted by the BMW Startup Garage, together with the startup QC Ware.
The aim of these studies wasn't to derive a direct economic benefit from the findings, but to gain a better idea of the performance capabilities of current quantum computing technology and build up in-house expertise for future projects.
Pflugfelder: Another important aim of the feasibility study was to create awareness of the new technology in different areas of the company and establish a cross-divisional quantum computing community. As a result, we are now able to identify new use cases in different areas of the BMW Group more quickly and implement them in interdisciplinary working groups.
So, what comes next?
Pflugfelder: Hardware and software development is a tremendously dynamic field. To keep up with the latest developments, it is important to build a strong network with other companies and, particularly, research institutes.
We are currently compiling an extensive portfolio of use cases and prioritising them according to feasibility and possible impact on company processes. The most relevant cases will then be implemented by the end of the year.
Wick: Our approach involves using "quantum computing as a service": That means we don't need our own quantum computers. Instead, we will be working with partners who have access to quantum computers and concentrating on applications for the technology.
What do You predict: When will we see quantum computers used in real-life situations?
Pflugfelder: According to the experts, we can expect to have some initial success with relevant impact on processes and developments in the automotive industry within about five to ten years. We will probably see this first of all in areas such as optimisation of production lines, for example, as well as material simulation.

Matrimony Profile of VIS4730 - Hindu Tamil, Chettiar Bride/ Girl from Tamil Nadu, Chennai.
This profile is created on behalf of my daughter. My daughter is ambitious in her career. She is compassionate and adaptable. My daughter is more practical and frank and got interest in music.


:blink:i also downloaded the 3 cd version of lord of the rings two towers and the only problem i have is with the second cd, the other two play fine with windows media player in xp but try playing the second cd and you get a "format not supported" message. ive used the gspot program to see what codecs it uses and its not using any audio or video codecs at all. Ive tried all the codecs i can think of and still no luck. the funny thing about it is that i played the movie using the original divx player and the video plays fine but there is no audio, and if i use the newest version of the divx player i get video but very choppy audio. So even though gspot is saying that there is no audio or video codecs for this file certian versions of divx are able to render parts of the video and audio.....i dont know how to proceed....... im ready to scrap this unless someone out there has found an uncomplicated way of fixing this. Does any one out there have an audio stream saved for this second cd that you can post?????????

The Tour of Turkey peloton in action during stage 7.
The UCI today without fanfare published sweeping changes to its WorldTour regulations that roll back many of the reforms to the selection of the WorldTour teams and to the race calendar.
With the changes, the UCI created a catch 22 for new races on the WorldTour calendar. While the rules allow for the desired three-year licences that were part of the reforms, changes introduced today require events to maintain 10 WorldTour teams on the start line, despite the WorldTour team participation being entirely voluntary.
The UCI's new rules at the same time remove incentives for WorldTour teams to compete in the new races by basing the team rankings that are used to determine WorldTour registration for the next season only on events which were on the WorldTour in 2016.
The changes were introduced just weeks before the first new WorldTour event, the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race which, together with the Abu Dhabi Tour, Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, Strade Bianche, Dwars door Vlaanderen, the Tour of Turkey, Rund um den Finanzplatz Eschborn - Frankfurt, the Amgen Tour of California, Prudential RideLondon & Surrey Classic and the new Chinese race Gree – Tour of Guangxi make up the batch of new WorldTour races.
Keeping 10 WorldTour teams is less of a problem for long-standing events like Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Dwars door Vlaanderen, but will be a burden for far-flung events like Tour of Turkey which attracted just two WorldTour teams last year, and the newest race, the Tour of Guangxi.
The participation rules for the WorldTour were also amended to include invited Pro Continental teams and national team of the organising country, but with the caveat that the events allowing national teams would be determined by the Pro Cycling Council.
There has been no change allowing Continental teams to participate in WorldTour races, as was a major desire expressed by North American teams hoping to compete at the Tour of California.
The new regulations also put more of a burden on the WorldTour races to get the top teams to show up. All WorldTour teams are required to participate in the historic WorldTour races, but for the new events, racing is voluntary.
However, the races are required under the rules to invite all of the WorldTour teams, and only fill in the remaining spots after receiving responses from the WorldTour teams. If races cannot attract 10 WorldTour teams they risk losing their place in the calendar.
"Events registered on the UCI WorldTour calendar for the first time in 2017 and thereafter shall ensure the participation of a minimum of 10 UCI WorldTeams in their events," the rules now state. "In case of failure by one of these events to ensure the participation of 10 UCI WorldTeams during two consecutive editions, the registration of the said event shall be withdrawn from the UCI WorldTour calendar."
Added organisational standards to licence review including medical certificates for doctors and more.
PCC will decide how WT teams are chosen from 2019.
New WorldTour races must maintain at least 10 WT teams each year or risk being dropped from the calendar.
All WorldTour teams must be invited to all WT races, but aren't obliged to race new events.
The UCI was forced to come to an accord with the ASO after the Tour de France organisers threatened to withdraw their races from the World Tour, and has now changed its rules to allow for the reduction in the number of registered teams.
The latest batch of edits temporarily retreats from the three-year licences which were a cornerstone of the WorldTour reforms in order to reduce the total number of teams in the top tier.
Teams can take some comfort in the regulation that specifies "For the 2018 season, all UCI WorldTeams applying for UCI WorldTeam status shall be considered to have satisfied the sporting criterion" - meaning they will not have to duke it out in the team rankings, but their futures in the WorldTour will no longer be guaranteed beyond 2018.
WorldTour licences granted at the end of 2016 will only be valid for two years, and for those granted at the end of this season, they will last only through the end of 2018.
The UCI rules state that the lowest-ranked team applying for WorldTour status for the 2019 and subsequent seasons will not be considered to have met sporting criteria for the licence, unless there are only 16 teams applying.
The UCI WorldTour individual rankings will now only take into account events which were registered on the 2016 UCI WorldTour calendar, but will include points from riders signed from UCI Professional Continental Teams in those races.
The UCI made a major change late last year to the WorldTour team rankings, and now considers the points of all riders in the individual WorldTour rankings.
The change was meant to "encourage better performances from the whole team because results achieved by all a team's riders will be taken into account".
However, for any new teams applying for WorldTour status in 2018, only the top five riders in the individual rankings will be considered, making it far more difficult for any Pro Continental team to move up to the WorldTour.
In addition to changes to the rankings, the UCI also requires ethical, financial and administrative standards. For 2017 and beyond they have added a category of "organisational" criteria that include specifications similar to what the Astana team was required to meet under the ISSUL audit in 2015, and that were tested by several other teams in 2015.
Teams must now supply a full list of riders and other staff or doctors associated with the team, provide internal and medical rules, an organisational chart, methods for drawing up riders' training plans, communication procedures and a full CV, medical diploma and certificate of good standing for team doctors.
For the 2019 and beyond, the Professional Cycling Council will establish a system through which candidates for UCI WorldTeam status will be ranked.
As an exception, the duration of the licences issued at the end of the 2016 season shall be valid for two calendar years. In addition, any licence issued at the end of the 2017 season shall be valid for one calendar year only.

The Hub AU learner a shining star in the nursing community

Faculty of Graduate Studies / Faculty of Health Disciplines / Learners / Research
Athabasca University (AU) learner Melissa Stevenson was the October 2020 featured nurse of the Indigenous Nurses Association of Canada Nominate a Nurse or Midwife Campaign and is nearing completion of her Master of Nursing degree.
Melissa Stevenson
Her first spirit name is Bright Shining Star, which perfectly encompasses the impact she has on the nursing community and reclaiming her Indigenous identity.
Stevenson is a registered nurse and Waashkeshuyaan unit co-ordinator at Toronto's Anishnawbe Health—an Indigenous organization that uses Traditional Healing methods within a multi-disciplinary health-care model. She has worked in health care for over 16 years, the last 10 as a registered nurse in Treaty 13 lands.
Beginning her studies with AU in 2017, Melissa has been working towards earning her Master of Nursing (MN). She is nearing completion of her thesis entitled "Anishnaabek naanadagin: Examining the role of a traditional healer within an intradisciplinary model of diabetes care."
Stevenson explained that Anishnaabek naanadagin means "to help the people," which relates to how her thesis looks at how traditional healing can help the community with their on-going diabetes care. Working tirelessly to balance her family and work during a pandemic, she hopes to defend her thesis and earn her MN by the end of 2021.
"They always say, especially with a thesis, you want to find something that you want to ask a few more questions about. This was a great opportunity for me to meet with clients and ask them about what they thought their role was and also, for me to work with the traditional healers and ask them about their thoughts of how that all comes together."
– Melissa Stevenson, AU learner and registered nurse
Discovering her roots
A love mix of medicines Melissa uses within care.
Raised in Newfoundland, away from her family and her cultural roots in Manitoba, Stevenson has committed her career to being an advocate for Indigenous health.
"I reclaimed our teachings and integrate them back into health. About a year and a half into my program, I was gifted a sweat lodge ceremony. I started running sweat lodges for our community here at Anishnawbe Health. I was gifted a pipe and given an opportunity to pray with the community in that capacity," she said.
"In seven years of working on how to integrate traditional ways of knowing into my practice, I was gifted ceremony which gave me the opportunity to give back to my community. I was given the opportunity to reclaim parts of who we were always meant to be and re-integrate our teachings into our everyday life."
"I reclaimed our teachings and integrate them back into health. About a year and a half into my program, I was gifted a Sweat Lodge ceremony. I started running Sweat Lodges for our community here at Anishnawbe Health. "
– Melissa Stevenson
She has put considerable effort into learning about her Indigenous culture and has gone on a spiritual journey with Traditional Healers and into Sweat Lodges, which helped confirm her research and expanded her understanding of her people and history.
"A big part of my story is that I grew up off reserve my entire life, away from family and culture," Stevenson said. "I grew up in Newfoundland, but when I got older and moved out on my own, I moved to Toronto. I found this organization that served the Indigenous community and got to re-learn culture from Healers there. It was almost like I was given the opportunity to reclaim these teachings and my culture. And share it with my kids."
Finding a balance
When asked how she balances being a mother, a registered nurse and working on her master's degree, Stevenson had some wonderful insights.
"Three things: community, family and self. I'm a mother and mothers put ourselves last all the time. I don't know if I'd call it balance, but I get it done in the way that I get it done. It's really about navigating," she said.
"That's what I appreciate about AU, with it being an online school and being considerate about how different things can come up in life. Life is life and you can't change that. I want to do this and pursue this education and it's worked well to allow me to work and provide for my family, and balance family and schoolwork. I wouldn't have been able to do it any other way"
Understanding her spirit names
And, while Stevenson has proven to be a shining star in many facets of her life and career, she admits that she hasn't always understood why that spirit name was given to her. She didn't understand the connection to the name and her spirit.
"I remember I went to another healer and when he reaffirmed that my name was Bright Shining Star, I said that I don't get it. I don't understand this name. And so he told me there was second name for me: Red Thunderbird, which I understood," she said.
"My work at Athabasca University has helped me understand what that other name meant. The name Bright Shining Star, I get now."

Key Takeaways from USDA Final Interim Rules for Domestic Hemp Production
On Oct. 31, 2019, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) published its highly anticipated interim final rules, establishing the USDA Domestic Hemp Production Program to be administered by the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS).
Primarily, the rules serve to establish standards for plans submitted by states or tribal governments for USDA approval and a separate federal hemp plan under which producers in states or tribal lands that do not establish their own plan may be licensed. These interim rules will expire in 2021, to be followed by final rules. The 60-day public comment period, ending on Dec. 30, 2019, began upon publication. To ensure meaningful participation, industry stakeholders should pay close attention to the following key takeaways.
The 2018 Farm Bill established a system wherein farmers/individuals/entities could grow, process, and sell hemp if certain conditions were met. First, either the Department of Agriculture from a state or tribal government could promulgate a plan for approval by the USDA, or the USDA could establish a program under which individuals/entities in states without a plan could operate. Second, if an individual/entity is legally operating under either the state/tribal plan or the plan of the USDA, that individual or entity may engage in the hemp industry. The state/tribal plans may be more rigorous than the USDA interim rules but not less. States and tribes are allowed to submit plans for USDA approval immediately and will obtain approval or denial within 60 days. States and tribes are encouraged to seek technical assistance from the USDA as they develop their plans. Producers in states or tribes that do not submit a plan or whose plan is denied may apply for a USDA license beginning on Nov. 30, 2019.
State and Tribal Plans
State and tribal plans must require each producer to provide the relevant agency (state Department of Agriculture or Tribal Agency) and Farm Service Agency (FSA) with both a legal description and geospatial location for their production facilities.
Sampling and Testing
All state or tribal plans must provide the testing and sampling procedures the state or tribe intends to use to confirm the amount of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in a given sample does not exceed the 0.3 percent legal limit. The requirements of the procedures are as follows:
Sampling and testing procedures must ensure a representative sample is taken by a USDA-approved agent and completed by a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) laboratory approved through the AMS Lab Approval Service (LAS);
Samples must be taken within 15 days of anticipated harvests;
Testing must use the decarboxylated method to determine the combined THC and THCa content;
The test results must provide the "measurement[s] of uncertainty" in evaluating the accuracy of testing. Measurements of uncertainty are scientific calculations that make allowances for variation in sampling and testing.
A test result that exceeds the legal limit of 0.3 percent, but not more than 0.5 percent, will result in a violation under the relevant plan. Destruction of the non-compliant or "hot" plants will be required, but the violation will not give rise to either a negligent violation or a criminal charge where it is determined the producer used reasonable efforts to comply with relevant rules and regulations. However, if a producer has three such violations within a five-year period, the producer will lose eligibility to participate in the hemp program altogether.
Where violations are the result of negligence or a culpable mindset, the plan must require the state or tribal authorities to report a violation to the attorney general, USDA, and chief law enforcement officer for the state or tribal government.
According to the USDA, negligent violations are those that result from the following:
Failing to disclose the legal description of land on which hemp is produced;
Failing to obtain a license;
Producing plants with THC content exceeding 0.5 percent.
Where negligent violations are discovered, the USDA will require states and tribal agencies to impose a corrective action plan. Such plans must require producers to comply with specific reporting requirements for at least two years.
Disposal of Non-Compliant Plants
The USDA rules require states and tribes to submit plans that mandate the destruction of the hemp plants if sampling and testing reveal the hemp plants are "hot"(see above). The plans must require producers to coordinate with law enforcement in the destruction and documentation of the same. The procedure will also require the state Department of Agriculture or tribal equivalent to submit a report to the USDA once disposal is complete.
Considering the definition of hemp in the 2018 Farm Bill (see below), the sensitive nature of THC testing procedures, the impact of unpredictable weather patterns on this crop, and the significant financial and potentially criminal implications of a "hot" test result, industry leaders should be prepared to propose alternatives.
Alternative Testing Procedures
Hemp is defined in the 2018 Farm Bill as, "the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a [THC] concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis." Despite this definition, the USDA and many states have opted to use a testing method that includes a combined THC and THCa content in a plant to determine whether a plant qualifies. The question is whether determining a plant is hemp by its THC (or THC and THCa) content is scientifically sound. According to two studies reported by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) in March of 2019, "Hemp and marijuana are genetically distinct forms of cannabis that are distinguished by their use and chemical composition." The studies go on to suggest that while low THC content correlates with the genetic makeup of hemp, there is proof a single, conspicuous gene distinguishes the hemp and marijuana plant varieties. Therefore, the question is whether hemp should be defined by its genetics rather than its THC content. Nevertheless, the USDA has opted for testing solely based on THC content, a less reliable indicator.
It is likely the USDA has opted for a definition of hemp and subsequent testing procedures that only address THC content, not genetic makeup, due to public concern and social stigma surrounding the intoxicating effects of THC. However, the CRS study supports valid objections to rejecting genetic approaches to determining whether a plant is truly hemp. Industry stakeholders would be well-served by proposing Congress and the USDA embrace a more robust definition of hemp that encompasses genetic makeup and analogous testing. In doing so, they will assist in promoting a more sustainable industry unburdened by the prospect of excessive non-compliance and crop destruction.
Federal Plan
The interim rules also provide the framework for a potential federal plan, allowing producers to apply for a license directly with the USDA in states or tribes that do not establish their own programs. Echoing the 2018 Farm Bill, only individuals who have not been convicted of a felony related to a controlled substance in the past 10 years or were legally growing under the 2014 Farm Bill and whose conviction occurred before December of 2018 will be eligible for licensing. USDA licensees will be subject to random audits not to exceed one every three years, in light of available resources. In the event of alleged violations, growers will be offered corrective action plans and can even pay to have samples retested using the same testing standards and auditing procedures. However, the federal plan lacks any specificity or protections for processors or sellers of hemp products. This omission from the plan leaves processors and sellers subject to law enforcement actions without an administrative remedy.
Whether grown pursuant to a state or tribal plan approved by the USDA or a USDA-issued license, as soon as the state plans are approved and/or entities are licensed under the USDA program, legally grown domestic hemp may be transported and shipped freely through interstate commerce. In the wake of decisions by federal courts to abstain from forcing states to return otherwise legally grown hemp seized on account of conflicting state laws, this is great news. The other provisions of the USDA's interim rules on hemp production outlined above similarly signal a major step toward the creation of a fully functioning and highly profitable domestic hemp industry. The public comment period presents an opportunity for stakeholders to have their voices heard and influence the industry through strategic and ongoing communication.

Since research in the field of dynamic photoelasticity was initiated by Tuzi(1) in 1928, there has been a continuous development of new and improved high-speed photographic systems. With the development of new higher speed films, more intense light sources, ingenious camera designs, and reliable electronic circuitry, continuous improvement has been made in the quality of the photographs of dynamic events with objects or images propagating at high velocity. Three different photographic systems have been specially adapted for application involving dynamic photomechanics which provide whole field representation of the data. All three of these systems may be considered adequate for photographing high-density fringe patterns propagating at velocities as high as 100,000 in/sec (2540 m/sec), but each system exhibits advantages and disadvantages.


Tummy Tuck, or Abdominoplasty, may be your answer to achieving a flatter stomach. We all desire a flat tummy, but age, child bearing, lack of exercise and weight gain are the enemies in this battle. Men and Woman who have experienced dramatic weight loss, either through diet and exercise, or as a result of bariatric surgery, often have excess amount of skin around the abdomen. The procedure involves removing both fat and skin, tightening the abdominal wall and usually requires relocating the umbilicus. It is best suited for people with excess fat and skin.
Although abdominoplasty is a more popular procedure for women, Dr. Wolf has performed the surgery on men as well. This surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Since it is a more involved surgery, recuperation usually takes several weeks or months to see the final results. The length of time for recovery varies depending on the extent of the abdominoplasty and the general physical condition of the patient.
Most patients can return to work from three to four weeks after surgery. The results of a tummy tuck can remain for many years, if there is no significant weight gain or the patient does not become pregnant. Scars are mostly hidden within the bikini line or underwear and are usually inconspicuous.
Liposuction or Body Contouring can be used to reshape the abdomen, thighs or other parts of the body. Dramatic advances have been made in recent years with liposuction techniques that now often replace more extensive surgery to remove unwanted bulging fat. The increasing popularity of liposuction is due to the effectiveness of the technique and the fact that it leaves only tiny scars often less than one-half inch in length.
The success of liposuction is influenced by your age, your size, shape, or tone of the skin in the area(s) to be treated. Liposuction can slim and contour the body by suctioning out localized collections of fat with minimal scarring. A vacuum device is inserted through small incisions near the fatty areas.
It is important to understand that liposuction is not a substitute for diet and exercise, nor a cure for obesity. To get the most from this procedure, you should be of average weight with extra fat localized in specific areas. It is also important that you have healthy, elastic skin with the ability to shrink after surgery. Since liposuction removes only the fat it cannot eliminate dimpling or correct skin laxity.
Men and Women who have experienced dramatic weight loss, either through diet and exercise or as a result of bariatric surgery, often have excess amounts of skin around the abdomen. Women can also experience this condition as a result of pregnancy, making the abdomen soft and flabby. An abdominoplasty, or "tummy tuck", can remove excess folds of skin and tighten your abdominal muscles to create a lean, flat and more well-defined stomach. It can also diminish unsightly stretch marks. Because diet and exercise cannot remove excess skin, abdominoplasty is the perfect solution to tone and refine the abdomen. The effects of tummy tuck can be long lasting, provided you exercise regularly, eat a sensible diet, and maintain a suitable weight level.
Who is a best candidate for abdominoplasty?
Good candidate include men and women who are in relative good shape but have a large fat deposit in the abdominal wall or have loose abdominal skin. Abdominoplasty works best for people whose weight is stable. If you intend to lose more weight, you should consider postponing your tummy tuck until you've reached your target weight. A tummy tuck is not a weight loss procedure.
Should I have a full or mini tummy tuck ?
If your abdominal fullness and loose skin are confined to the area below the belly button, you may be a candidate for a mini abdominoplasty, which has a shorter incision and limits the tightening to the lower abdomen. If the fullness and skin laxity involve your entire abdomen, then a full abdominoplasty is most likely needed to help you achieve your desired results.
What are the risks of having abdominoplasty ?
Thousands of men and women undergo tummy tuck surgery successfully every year and are very satisfied with the outcome. However, any surgical procedure comes with inherent risks, such as the effects of anesthesia, infection, bleeding, blood clots, swelling and discomfort. These and other complications rarely occur and can usually be avoided. Dr. Wolf will discuss the risks with you thoroughly during your consultation and you should carefully follow his pre-operative and post-operative instructions.
The length of time it takes to recuperate after a tummy tuck may vary depending on your individual health. After the procedure, a compression garment or girdle may be worn for 4-6 weeks. Heavy lifting or any other vigorous activity which would strain the abdominal muscles may be restricted for 6-8 weeks. A light exercise program, like walking, will help you heal better and can help avoid medical complications such as swelling and blood clotting. As with any scar, it takes about a year or more for it to mature and form an inconspicuous and pale line.
If you have areas of excess fat deposits that won´t respond to diet and exercise, liposuction can be an ideal alternative to improve the contour of your body. As the most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in the country, liposuction can actually reduce and reshape the size of a particular area. Liposuction works because it not only removes unwanted fat, it also removes the cells that store fat. If you maintain your current weight and level of exercise, there is no reason to expect that you will regain fat in these troublesome areas. Some of the most frequent areas treated by liposuction for both men and women are the abdomen, love handles, hips, thighs, inner knee, back of arms and buttocks. Liposuction is not a weight reduction treatment, but a method of refreshing and contouring areas of the body that are disproportionate.
Liposuction is a safe procedure with a low complication rate. The procedure involves making small incisions to insert a hollow tube, called a cannula. Fluid will be added to reduce bleeding and discomfort. Excess fat is then removed through the tube using a back and forth motion into a suction container. Post-operative recovery is relatively quick, but bruising and swelling can remain for 4-12 weeks. If following surgery, you maintain a healthy lifestyle (including a sensible diet), perform moderate exercise and maintain your weight, longt-term results are likely.
Liposuction is a safe procedure as long as patients carefully select the operating facility. The facility must be clean and properly equipped, and the doctor must be adequately trained. All surgery does carry some degree of risk. Your doctor will go over all the possible risks and complications with you during your consultation.
After liposuction, a compression garment or girdle may be worn for 3-4 weeks to minimize swelling and to help your skin tighten around your new, slimmer figure. Healing is gradual, and you will begin to see a noticeable difference in your body shortly after surgery. How quickly you are able to resume normal activities will depend on the amount of liposuction that is performed, your individual body type and your current health.
Once the fat is removed, it should not come back. However, liposuction will not prevent you from gaining weight due to an unhealthy lifestyle. Make sure you eat healthy and exercize regularly to help avoid gaining unwanted fat.

Soundtrack review: Breathe (Nitin Sawhney – 2017)
Film scores perfect scores
Breathe is a 2017 biographical drama film directed by Andy Serkis, from a screenplay by William Nicholson. It stars Andrew Garfield, Claire Foy, Hugh Bonneville, Tom Hollander, Ed Speleers and Dean-Charles Chapman. Robin Cavendish, who after being given only three months to live after being paralysed from the neck down by polio at age 28, becomes a pioneering advocate for the disabled. He and his devoted wife, Diana, travel the world with the hopes of transforming the lives of others like him. Nitin Sawhney wrote the score.
Now I know Andy Serkis as the master genius of motion animation as he is the man behind the stunning portrayal of Cesar from the new "Planet of the apes" franchise, not to mention King Kong or Gollum of old. It was about time to see this artist get behind the camera. I am also an Andrew Garfield fan and I trust Serkis' vision and choice of composer as I was not familiar with Nitin Sawhney so far. It doesn't take more than a couple of minutes, that is, a couple of cues, to be charmed into a fairly tale world with sweeping orchestral celebrations, cues that make me think of ballrooms and joy, gorgeously optimistic piano motifs and small violin pieces to die for. I tell you the way this score starts I am in a state of delightful shock as I feel like the kids from the old Mary Poppins movie who found themselves entering the world of a street painting on a rainy day. I never imagined such sweeping orchestral cues could also work combined with a seductive trumpet motif and I feel like dancing, dreaming, I feel happy. I also feel as if this is the part of the rollercoaster where it rides up before a shocking and scary descent as the tragedy ruins this stunningly beautiful imagine once "Getting ill" begins. And if the music was so passionate and affecting when there were happy times, imagine what this composer can do with drama.
We are out of the colourful street painting and back in the rain as the string section gets more serious, more ample and the piano sometimes gets painfully quiet. When it finally plays again, it's in graver, more sparse tones as a cue like "Dreaming he is fine" simply breaks my heart. The tone changes again with "Buying the house" which plays hide and seek with the strings in a different kind of playfulness. This sections of the score, with "Moving the bad" and "Hospital escape" as well turns into a jazzy, big band musing that makes me think of a fantasy or dream in the movie. Nitin Sawhney does this perfectly as well as the variety of "Breathe" is charming and addictive. His music tells me that no matter how bad times get in the story the characters never give up on hope, on life, and I don't need to see the movie to understand that. More than half of this score is playful jazz that sends me back to my favourite 60s romantic movies, that carefree charm, those moments when reality faded away in song and dance.
"Breathe" is a delightful and meaningful story about love, hope and doing good. And I am talking about the score here; Nitin Sawhney's music left me gasping for air whether it was with amusement, delight or worry. Imagine having tears in your eyes and a smile on your face in the same time. With it's infectious optimism, subtle drama and charming playful jazz pieces this orchestral score is without a doubt one of my favourite of 2017 and I will be keeping my ears opened for this composer. He can do dramatic music, light music and emotional music with frightening ease and I am counting the days until Andy Serkis' "The jungle book" opens next year. Trust me, when one of the most exuberant and optimistic cues of the score is "Wheelchair parade", you have to hear it. Do not miss this lesson, both life and musical.

Tasks plugin
===

The tasks plugin provides a way to run background tasks in grails using [rabbitmq][rabbitmq] to queue them. Provides
a framework for adding tasks, deleting them, and aborting them. Provides the option to create tasks that take
a file as an input and that produce output files.
[rabbitmq]: http://www.rabbitmq.com/

Installation
---

To install this plugin, run the following:

		grails install-plugin tasks

You also need to install rabbitmq-server. To do that, follow the instructions on [rabbitmq.com](http://www.rabbitmq.com/).

Configuration
---

There is one configuration option that can be set to specify the directory for temporary output files:

		grails.tasks.task.temp.folder="/tmp"

Create a simple task with no input/output
---

To create a new task, you just need to extend the Task abstract class and provide an implementation for the ``executeTask()`` and ``isUnique()`` methods.

		class MyTask extends Task {

			void executeTask() {
				// code that runs the task
			}

			boolean isUnique() {
				// return true if there exists already a task
				// that will have the same effect as this one
				// otherwise return false
			}

		}

**The implementation should be in the package ``org.chai.task``**.

Once a task is succesfully created, it is persisted in the database, and automatically sent to rabbitmq if rabbitmq-server is running. Depending on rabbitmq configuration, the tasks are picked up by 1 or several workers and executed in the background.

If the server is stopped, tasks will be interrupted and restarted at startup. If rabbitmq is not running, a cron job will attend to send the tasks to the queue every 2 minutes.

Once you've added the code that runs the task, you can use actions of the ``TaskController`` to create and delete tasks. The controller provides the following action:

		def create = {
			// Creates a simple task:
			// - takes a 'class' parameter that specifies the
			// non-qualified name of the Task implementation class
			// - all other params will be bound to the Task
			// implementation class using bindParams(…)
		}

Thus, calling ``task/create?class=MyTask`` will create an instance of the ``MyTask`` class, and will send it to rabbitmq for processing. When the task is picked up from the queue, the ``executeTask`` method will be run.

You can add an arbitrary number of named parameters to your class and pass them as a request parameter to the ``create`` action. For instance, let's modify the class as follows:

		class MyTask extends Task {

			Integer param1

			...
		}

Calling ``task/create?class=MyTask&param1=10`` will bind 10 to the new instance ``param1`` field.

Create a task that takes a file as an input
---

To create a task that takes a file as an input, you need to implement the 2 extra methods ``getFormView()`` and ``getFormModel()``, that specify where to find the view and the model for the form that will upload the file.

		class MyTask extends Task {

			String getFormView() {
				// returns the name of the view that will display the form
			}

			Map getFormModel() {
				// returns the model that will be used to display the form
			}

			...
		}

The view might look something like this:

		<g:form url="[controller:'task', action:'createTaskWithFile']">
			<input type="hidden" name="class" value="MyTask"/>
			<input  type="file" name="file"
				value="${fieldValue(bean:task, field:'file')}"/>

			<button type="submit">Upload</button>
		</g:form>

Along with the following model:

		Map getFormModel() {
			return [task: this]
		}

The only restriction placed on the form view is that the form should contain an input field of type file named ``file``.

The ``TaskController`` provides two actions to display the upload form and to create the task.

		def taskForm = {
			// Displays the task creation form
			// - takes a 'class' parameter that specifies the
			// non-qualified name of the Task implementation class
		}

		def createTaskWithFile = {
			// Creates a task with a file from POSTing the
			// task creation form
			// - takes a 'class' parameter that specifies the
			// non-qualified name of the Task implementation class
			// - expects an input file named 'file' in the POST
			// - all other params are bound to the Task
			// implementation class using bindParams(…)
		}

Calling the ``task/taskForm?class=MyTask`` URL will simply display the specified form and model defined in the Task implementation. That form should POST to ``task/createTaskWithFile``. Submitting the form will then create an instance of the class and save the file in the temporary directory specified in the configuration (cf. Configuration above) and will send it to rabbitmq.

Create a task that produces an output file
---

The plugin provides a mechanism for creating output files. If the Task implementation class provides an implemenation for the ``getOutputFilename()`` method, it means the task produces an output file that can be retrieved under that name.

		String getOutputFilename() {
			// returns the name of a the output file
		}

It is the job of the task implementation to create the file and save the output to the file specified by the ``getOutputFilename()`` method. That file should be placed in the folder given by the Task abstract class ``getFolder()`` method. A Task that creates an output could look like this:

		def executeTask() {
			String outputContent = "this is the output"
			File outputFile = new File(getFolder(), getOutputFilename())
			outputFile.createNewFile()

			def fileWriter = new FileWriter(outputFile)
			IOUtils.write(errorOutput, fileWriter)
			fileWriter.flush()
			IOUtils.closeQuietly(fileWriter)
		}

The ``TaskController`` provides a method to download the output file, zipped.

		def downloadOutput = {
			// If the task creates an output file, this sends the
			// output as a zip file to the outputStream.
			// - takes a 'id' parameter that specify the task for which
			// the output should be downloaded
		}

Calling ``task/downloadOutput?id=<task_id>`` will download the file.

Task status and progress
---

At any time, the status of a task can be retrieved by calling ``task.status``. There are 4 possible statuses, ``NEW``, ``COMPLETED``, ``IN_PROGRESS`` or ``ABORTED``. When a task is first created, its status is set to ``NEW``. Once it's picked up by the rabbitmq worker, it's set to ``IN_PROGRESS``. Once a task is finished, its status is set to ``COMPLETED``. If the task ``abort()`` method is called, the status is set to ``ABORTED``.

Beside a status, the Task class provides the functionality to set and increment a progress while the task is running. The Task class provides the following 2 methods:

		void setMaximum(Long max) {
			// sets the maximum progress of this task to 'max'
		}

		void incrementProgress(Long increment = null) {
			// increment the progress of that task by 'increment', or
			// by 1, if 'increment' is null
		}

It is obviously the job of the implementation to set the maximum number of steps it will take to reach 100% completion, as well as to increment the progress. The ``TaskController`` provides an action to interrogate the progress of 1 or several tasks:

		def progress = {
			// Returns a JSON response with the progress
			// for the specified tasks. The response has the format
			// [
			//   {id: <task_id>, status: <task_status>, progress: <task_progress},
			//   {…}
			// ]
			// - takes a 'ids' parameter specifying a list of tasks
			// to query for progress
		}

Deleting tasks
---

Tasks that are not currently running (the status is not ``IN_PROGRESS``) can be deleted from the database using the ``TaskController`` delete action.

		def delete = {
			// Deletes the specified task
			// - takes a 'id' parameter that specify the task that should
			// be deleted
		}

Using this action, a task is removed from the database, but not from the rabbitmq queue. However, when the worker picks up the tasks, it will notice that the task has been deleted and will not execute it.

Another action allows one to delete all ``COMPLETED`` tasks from the database.

		def purge = {
			// Purges all COMPLETED tasks
		}

Security Provider
---

The Tasks plugin uses the [Platform Core] to store the user identity as the ``principal`` property on the Task created using the ``TaskController`` if a Security API implementation is provided.

An example of how to implement the Platform Core [SecurityBridge] interface for the [Shiro] plugin is provided in the plugin test file [ShiroSecurityBridge] for you to check out.

Субститу́ция (от позднелат. substitutio, от  — «ставлю, назначаю вместо») — завещательное распоряжение, по которому рядом с главным назначенным наследником устанавливается другой, его заместитель (субститут), на случай смерти, нежелания вступить в наследство, недействительности назначения, недостойности наследника и т. д.

В римском праве выделялись вульгарная субституция, при которой наследником мог быть кто угодно, пупилярная субституция, при которой отец, назначавший в завещании наследником своего сына, мог назначить субститута к сыну на случай его смерти, хотя и после завещателя, но до совершеннолетия, и квазипупилярная субституция, при которой восходящий родственник назначал субститута к своему нисходящему, получавшему обязательную часть наследства и впавшему в душевное расстройство, на случай, если он умрёт до излечения от болезни.

Существовала также фидеикомиссарная субституция — такое завещательное распоряжение, которым назначался последовательный ряд наследников, вступавших в наследство один после другого, то есть после смерти предыдущего или оставления им наследственного владения. Она сделалась очень распространенною, начиная с Средних веков, в Западной Европе, где ею стали пользоваться главным образом в интересах сохранения семейного имущества в роде из поколения в поколение; из неё возникли так называемые заповедные имения.

Действующий Гражданский кодекс Российской Федерации допускает субституцию. В соответствии со статьёй 1121 ГК РФ завещатель вправе указать в завещании, кроме основного, другого наследника (подназначить наследника) на случай если основной наследник умрёт до открытия наследства или одновременно с завещателем, или после открытия наследства, не успев его принять, если назначенный в завещании наследник или наследник завещателя по закону не примет наследство по другим причинам, если он откажется от наследства, если он не будет иметь право наследовать, если он будет отстранён от наследования как недостойный. Наследники, указанные в завещании первыми, являются основными, подназначенные наследники — дополнительными (запасными).

Q: Cox PH - R 'rms' package - Concordance (Train, CV & Test) Please could someone verify if my methodology for calculating these three versions of concordance are correct when using the rms package? I have really struggled to find many examples for performing cross-validation & test concordance, in particular.
I am working on a dataset of ~550k rows at work, but please see the reproducible example below:
library(rms)
library(caret)

set.seed(1)

index <- createDataPartition(veteran$status, p = 0.6, list = F)
veteran_train <- veteran[index, ] # 60%
veteran_test <- veteran[-index, ] # 40%

cox <- cph(Surv(time, status) ~ karno + celltype,
           data = veteran_train,
           x = T,
           y = T)

Using the relationship: $C = \frac{D_{xy} + 1}{2}$
'Train' Concordance:
train_C <- as.numeric((cox$stats[9] + 1)/2)
round(train_C, 4) # 0.7236

'Train' (10-fold CV) Concordance:
cv_version <- validate(cox, method = "crossvalidation", B = 10)
train_CV_C <- (cv_version[1, 3] + 1)/2
round(train_CV_C, 4) # 0.7167

'Test' Concordance:
actuals <- Surv(veteran_test$time, veteran_test$status)
estimates <- survest(cox, newdata = veteran_test, times = 1337)$surv # can pick an arbitrary time here, same results
test_C <- as.numeric(rcorr.cens(x = estimates, S = actuals)[1])
round(test_C, 4) # 0.6977

I investigated the rms package after attempting to find the test concordance through the survival package.
However I think (please confirm) survival::concordance() is bugged when specifying the newdata argument, only running if veteran_test has the exact same number of rows as veteran_train:
cox <- coxph(Surv(time, status) ~ karno + celltype, data = veteran_train)
# test_C_v2 <- survival::concordance(cox, newdata = veteran_test)$concordance

This returns: Error... x and y are not the same length.
If I then create a situation where veteran_train & veteran_test do have the same number of rows, I get different test concordance results to the rms package!:
veteran_train <- veteran_train[1:nrow(veteran_test), ]
nrow(veteran_train) == nrow(veteran_test) # 41

# 'rms' method:
cox_rms <- rms::cph(Surv(time, status) ~ karno + celltype,
           data = veteran_train,
           x = T,
           y = T)

actuals <- Surv(veteran_test$time, veteran_test$status)
estimates <- survest(cox_rms, newdata = veteran_test, times = 1337)$surv
test_C_v1 <- as.numeric(rcorr.cens(x = estimates, S = actuals)[1])
round(test_C_v1, 4) # 0.6977

# 'survival' method
cox_survival <- survival::coxph(Surv(time, status) ~ karno + celltype, data = veteran_train)

test_C_v2 <- survival::concordance(cox_survival, newdata = veteran_test)$concordance
round(test_C_v2, 4) # 0.4333

Is one of these approaches correct? When applying this methodology to my data, there was a common theme that the train/CV/test Concordance were all very close when using the rms package.
However, when using the survival package, the test concordance would see a significant drop (e.g. 0.7 train -> 0.55 test), which doesn't seem believable for a model with just one predictor and a large volume of data.

A: Your RMS method solution agrees with the solution that Frank Harrell approved in this answer. I've found survest to be extremely slow, particularly when running predictions for >10 bootstrap re-samples of test folds. But aside from code performance, the accuracy of the calculations should be more robust. HTH.
