Fayetteville will be the site of the world's biggest cyclocross event in a few years.
The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) today announced that the Cyclocross World Championships will be held at Millsaps Mountain in Fayetteville on Jan. 29-30, 2022.
It will be just the second time the United States has ever hosted the event, which was first held in 1950 in Paris, France. The announcement was made in Bogense, Denmark at the site of the 2019 world cyclocross championships.
Local organization BikeNWA will lead a coalition of community partners in organizing the event, which will be made possible by a grant from the Walton Family Foundation. It is expected to be the culmination of a four-year plan to bring world-class cyclocross racing to the Northwest Arkansas region.
Competitors from at least 30 nations are expected to travel to Fayetteville to compete at the event. Champions will be crowned in six categories during the two days of racing: Elite Men, Elite Women, Under-23 Men, Under-23 Women, Junior Men, and Junior Women.
For those unfamiliar, cyclocross is a unique type of competitive racing that combines the speed of road bike races with the terrain of mountain bike events, held on shorter, spectator-friendly courses. Cyclocross bikes resemble road bikes, but with slightly wider, knobby tires for traction on off-road surfaces. Racers typically hop off and carry their bikes up steep uphill sections and over various types of obstacles in races that last between 30 and 60 minutes.
Millsaps Mountain was purchased by the City of Fayetteville in 2018 with a grant and loan from the Walton Family Foundation as part of a plan to build a 228-acre bike park.
It was the site of Oz Cross, a two-day cyclocross event held in November as part of USA Cycling's American Cyclocross Calendar. It was also one of six local races included in the NWA CX Series, which ran from September through early December in cities across the region.
Co-managing the Fayetteville 2022 organization and serving as race director will be Brook Watts, a veteran race organizer familiar to cyclocross fans as the first to bring UCI World Cup cyclocross to the United States. Watts has a long history in the sport of cycling and cyclocross in particular.
The first and only other time the event has been held in the United States was in 2013 in Louisville, Kentucky.
Fayetteville Mayor Lioneld Jordan said he's excited to roll out the city's hospitality red carpet and share the city with visitors from across the globe.


The Blood Bank of Hawai'is is asking you give an hour of your time to save the life of a loved one. Take the time in February to donate blood — you never know whose life you could help save.
Listed below are the upcoming blood drives on Kaua'i this February. Note that drives are subject to change. To schedule an appointment or check on drive information, call 848-4770 or visit BBH.org.
 One in seven people entering the hospital in Hawai'i will need blood, but only about 2 percent actually donate.
 Two hundrede blood donations are needed every day in Hawai'i to maintain an adequate blood supply and fulfill Hawai'i's needs.
 One pint can save three lives. Because each pint of whole blood is separated into three components — platelets, plasma and red blood cells — one donation can help the lives of up to three people.
Kaua'i High School Library: Wednesday, Feb. 6 — 8:30 a.m.- 2:30 p.m.
Kaua'i Community College – Student Lounge – KCC Student Life Center: Thursday, Feb. 7 — 8 a.m.- 2:30 p.m.

Терс́ейра (, , Тирсейра, «Третій») — вулканічний острів у північній частині Атлантичного океану. Складова Азорського архіпелагу. Володіння Португалії, автономного регіону Азорські острови. Один із 9 заселених островів архіпелагу. Поділений між муніципалітетами Прая-да-Віторія та Ангра-ду-Ероїшму. Разом із островами Грасіоза, Піку, Сан-Жорже та Фаял належить до Центральної групи Азорських островів. Максимальна довжина — 29 км, ширина — 18 км, периметр — 90 км. Найвища точка — активний вулкан Санта-Барбара (1022 м), вершина однойменного гірського хребта (). Адміністративний центр — Ангра-ду-Ероїшму. Площа — 402,2 км². Населення — 55 833 осіб (2001). Також — Третій острів Господа Нашого Ісуса Христа.

Назва
 Терсейра (, «третій») — скорочена сучасна назва, пов'язана з тим що острів відкрили після двох островів  Східної групи Азорського архіпелагу: Санта-Марії та Сан-Мігела.
 Третій острів Господа Нашого Ісуса Христа () — повна офіційна назва острова в урядовій документації Португальського королівства XVI—XVII століть. Острів мав важливе стратегічне значення, був проміжним пунктом на шляху португальських морських експедицій до Америки.

Географія

Острів розташований на межі трьох літосферних плит: Євразійської, Африканської та Північноамериканської. Саме через цю геоморфологічну особливість острівний пейзаж є дуже різноманітним. Серед деревних порід у західній частині острова домінує криптомерія японська, особливо у високогірній зоні. Уздовж доріг можна побачити безліч гортензій. Є декілька гірських озер. Східна частина є більш рівнинною, де розташована міжнародний аеропорт і авіабаза «Лажеш», орендована ВПС США.

Економіка
Економіка острова представлена м'ясомолочною промисловістю. Сільськогосподарські угіддя займають значний відсоток території острова. Рибна ловля і туризм представлені також.

Муніципалітети
 Ангра-ду-Ероїшму —  найстарше місто архіпелагу.
 Прая-да-Віторія
Усього на острові мешкає трохи більше 55 тис. осіб (станом на 2001 рік).

Health alert – Japanese encephalitis virus detected in Victoria 11 March 2022
Health Alerts, Latest News
Date issued: 11 March 2022 (update to 4 March 2022)
Issued by: Associate Professor Deborah Friedman, Deputy Chief Health Officer (Communicable Disease)
Issued to: Health professionals, residents and visitors in Victorian-NSW border areas.
Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus can cause a rare but potentially serious infection of the brain and is spread to humans through mosquito bites.
JE virus has been detected in pigs in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia.
There are now 7 confirmed and 2 probable cases of Japanese encephalitis infection in Victoria.
Most JE virus infections are asymptomatic, however those with severe infection (less than one per cent) may experience headache, vomiting, disorientation, seizures, coma, and more rarely, permanent neurological complications or death.
Anyone experiencing these symptoms, particularly if they've visited northern and north-west Victoria or southern New South Wales, along the Murray River and its surrounds, or been in contact with pigs, should seek urgent medical attention.
Clinicians must consider and test for JE virus and other arboviruses in patients with unexplained encephalitis, after other common causes such as Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) and enteroviruses have been excluded.
Clinicians should notify the Department immediately of suspected cases by calling 1300 651 160 (24 hours).
Avoid mosquito bites by using mosquito repellent containing picaridin or DEET on all exposed skin. Wear long, loose fitting clothing when outside, and ensure accommodation, including tents, are properly fitted with mosquito nettings or screens.
For more information relating to this incident see the Japanese encephalitis in Victoria page.

New Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson refused to guarantee keeping Reds stars Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard at the club as he took over as manager on Thursday.
Hodgson hinted that he and the club would be doing their utmost to ensure that Gerrard and Torres would stay at the club amid rumours linking the pair with big-money exits from Anfield, but stopped short of promising the duo would stay.
I'm sure they won't move.


Davis Langdon has recruited two legal directors from Northcrofts Management Services: Chris Ennis and Richard Edwin.
Ennis, the managing director of Northcrofts, was retained as a quantum expert in the dispute between Multiplex and Cleveland Bridge over Wembley.
Edwin is a civil engineer who specialises in delay analysis.
They join Davis Langdon's 20-strong legal support team in London, which has worked on a number of high-profile disputes, including the Mirant vs Arup case.
Rob Smith, Davis Langdon senior partner, said the team was likely to have a £4m turnover in the current year. He said the aim was to more than double turnover by 2012, raising it to £8.5m.

Q: Neo4j: 3.0.0 Memory allocation 3.0.0 M05 beta on Windows 7 64 bit
I'm trying to load a CSV using PERIODIC COMMIT, and I'm getting a Java heap space error.
I've tried setting -Xmx512M or -Xmx3G and watching windows task manager, the memory allocation stays ~300M.
What setting do I need to change to allocate more memory to the server so I can get the db to use more memory?
(As a note, a stock out-of-the box 2.3.2 installation processes all these CSV files no problem...)
Update 1:
-Xmx512M and -Xmx3G were set in the "neo4j-community.vmoptions" file
Update 2: I found a log file:
neo4j.log:

Exception in thread "neo4j.PauseMonitor" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

Update 3:
There's no "neo4j-wrapper.conf" on my system nor is NEO4J_HOME set. Setting this env var and creating  neo4j-wrapper.conf doesn't change the behavior - the server maxes out around 300M and dies with a heap error when I try to do the load.

A: By default the Java heap size should be dynamically calculated based on system resources, but it sounds like that is not working properly here. Are you using milestone 5 version of 3.0 (most recent milestone release)?
In conf/neo4j-wrapper.conf config file there are two options for specifying initial and maximum memory for JVM heap size:
wrapper.java.initmemory
wrapper.java.maxmemory

How were you specifying -Xmx512M and -Xmx3G? In conf/neo4j-wrapper.conf using wrapper.java.additional?

The preparation of Sandostatin LAR® injections using a 2 ml ampoule of vehicle solution may be associated with some technical difficulties of administration, with adverse consequences for patients. The development of a 2.5 ml prefilled syringe may alleviate some of these problems. We have compared these two methods of Sandostatin LAR® administration in 17 patients with acromegaly and 5 patients with neuro-endocrine tumours, (6 drug naïve, 13 women, median age 55, range 26 to 83 years). All patients received Sandostatin LAR® by both methods in random allocation on two consecutive months by the same nurse, after which both patient and nurse completed a questionnaire assessing pain/discomfort and convenience of administration respectively. Pain was similar on a self-rating scale for both preparations for drug naïve patients, but was worse with the ampoule vehicle in some patients previously established on therapy, (3/22 reporting pain levels as more severe). Patient waiting time was generally shorter with the prefilled syringe, although difficult to record for all patients. Diluent preparation was generally easier and faster for nurses with the prefilled syringe, (6/22 recorded scores of quite easy with the 2.5 ml prefilled syringe vs. 3/22 with the ampoule, and 11/22 recorded scores of very easy with the prefilled syringe vs.1/22 with the ampoule (P=0.002). Reconstitution and drug administration were no different between preparations. Other clear advantages of the prefilled syringe include less wastage of diluent and less chance of contamination of diluent and scratches by broken glass. However clear volume markings on the prefilled syringe would be a major improvement. We conclude that the 2.5 ml prefilled syringe of Sandostatin LAR® has advantages over conventional diluent in the therapy of neuroendocrine tumours and acromegaly.


The changing process is really the center piece of the productivity saving. So, at the core of the return on investment for technology like cash recyclers in retail, is the ability to re-engineer processes. It's to take the number of human interventions, costly human interventions, out of the workflow. So, in as much as the TCR counts, sorts, and stores currency for you, you can begin to remove those areas of your current process, your set of best practices that require dual control access to cash, multiple people counting, sorting, and verifying funds, and the creation and aggregation deposits at the end of the day. So, without question, the ability to re-engineer a process, to streamline, to condense the amount of time taken around to counting cash and focus more on your core business is key.


You may have seen in the press that History Television is making a program about the Church of the Holy Cross (above), named by Heritage Canada as one of the ten most endangered places in the country.
The church is located at Skatin, formerly Skookumchuck, a First Nations community on the Lillooet River north of Harrison Lake. The community, which predates European contact, lies close to an important waterfall on the river, site of an abundant fishery. When gold was discovered on the Fraser River in the 1850s, miners built the first access road to the interior, the Douglas Trail, from the head of the lake through this spot. Eventually the trail became a wagon road and provided the principal route to the goldfields until the construction of the Cariboo Road in the mid-1860s.
The first church on the site was built in the 1860s when Oblate missionaries arrived in the area. Members of the community built the present church between 1895 and 1906 using local cedar and photographs of French gothic cathedrals as a guide. The stained glass windows were imported from Italy, paid for by the Skatin people who hand-carved much of the interior finishings.
Parks Canada declared the Church of the Holy Cross a national historic site in 1981 but the structure has been deteriorating despite the efforts of the local community to repair it.


Take out seeds of pumpkin and pare off the rind. Cut into small pieces, and put into a stew-pan with half a pint of water. Simmer slowly an hour and a half, then rub through a sieve and put back on the fire with boiling milk, butter, sugar, salt and pepper to taste, and stale bread, cut into small squares. Stir occasionally; and when it boils, serve.

Now the sun is shining on digital device stars like Samsung and Apple - but which industries are getting hung out in the sun?
Obviously "feature phones" are one of them. In Japan, Sony is adapting to the smart phone race, but others like NEC and Sharp are falling short.
Car navigation systems have been a mainstay Japanese industry, and not long ago they aspired to become the vehicle's "communication and entertainment hub". But now the smartphone or tablet looks like a better bet for the coming generation of drivers - see TIME article. The car navigation industry may find itself squeezed between big auto makers and big phone manufacturers.
Japan has long led the video game industry, and the market for gaming is certainly not going to shrink. But the future gaming device won't be a $350 box that just does games. It may be a stick connected to the TV, a tablet in the user's hands, an open-source device, a broadcast streamer. Companies like Nintendo have survived and thrived not because they make good consoles but because they understand people and gaming. They need to keep doing that, while also keeping an open mind.

Hello,
I want to rotate the zstack according to randomNumber value to match the letter number in array for example
if randomNumber = 30
closest number = 27
which is labeled B in the circle
I want to rotate the zstack so the letter B point to north but a little offset because the number is 30 not 27 exactly
The code above is example the calculation happens in loop function inside withAnimation brackets
Thank you

A: Here is a proposal for your loop, so the rotation picks the closest number in the array:
            randomNumber = .random(in: numbers.min()!...numbers.max()!)
            let differences = numbers.compactMap { abs($0 - randomNumber) }.sorted { $0 < $1 }
            let closest = randomNumber - (differences.first ?? 0)

            withAnimation {
            if numbers.contains(closest) {
                    rotation = closest
                } else {
                    rotation = randomNumber + (differences.first ?? 0)
                }
            }

Just remember to use the proper types (Int, CGFloat…).

Online PR News – 29-January-2015 – Austin, TX – B L U A N T Music Group's Derek Anthony takes his contemporary country music show to Grapevine, Tex., Feb. 27 for a concert to raise awareness of the battle to find a cure for ovarian cancer.
Derek Anthony, a regular at Billy Bob's and Gilley's, will perform at the Palace Theatre in Grapevine, Texas, Feb. 27 to aid ovarian cancer awareness.

New Spider-Man: Far From Home TV Spot Reveals A Way For Tony Stark To Return
Luke Parker Jun 4, 2019 5:07 pm 2019-06-04T19:14:14-05:00
Ever since Avengers: Endgame premiered in theaters, many fans have been hoping that Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios think of a way to bring Iron Man back. Like most controversial decisions mades these days within fandoms, a petition has surfaced to resurrect Tony Stark. And at the time of writing, it's gained over 18,500 signatures.
Though this online complaint will hardly have any bearing on the final decision, many are looking towards Spider-Man: Far From Home for a possible resurrection. One such person is Reddit user VirgelFromage, who thinks they may've spotted something that could give Tony a way back into the MCU. And apparently, it's a new piece of technology that's featured in the latest TV spot for the upcoming film.
In the 30-second clip, we see Peter Parker interacting with a gadget that looks straight out of the mind of Tony Stark himself. Except the voice isn't the same as the AI we've seen in the past, such as J.A.R.V.I.S., F.R.I.D.A.Y., or even Karen.
New Spider-Man: Far From Home Posters Have Hit The Web
This makes VirgelFromage think that the "oddly artificial…[and] digital voice" was manipulated for the trailer to hide the familiar one we'd actually hear in the film: Stark.
Seeing Robert Downey Jr. as an AI has become a popular theory following Endgame. And given that there've been a couple instances in the comics where Iron Man came back this way, most notably to help Riri Williams become Ironheart, it makes a bit of sense.
With that said, having Stark return to the MCU so soon may not be the best idea, given that a lot of momentum for a possible comeback would be taken away. The rumored Ironheart movie could be a better route to take.
But what do you think? Is VirgelFromage on the right page? Do you want to see Tony return already? Let us know in the comments section below, and be sure to see if this comes true once Spider-Man: Far From Home swings into theaters July 2nd.

The House and Senate conference committee members have been appointed, and are now in recess.
This is a very good time to intensify contacting Members of Congress, particularly the conferees listed below. When they come back to the table, it's important they support Farm Bill language that protects small farms and the integrity of the organic label.
After the Independence Day recess, the two farm bill drafts produced and passed in the House and Senate have gone to a conference committee. A conference committee, appointed by leadership, is a smaller group of Senators and Representatives charged with combining two separate bills into one. The House and Senate will each vote on the legislation that comes out of the committee.
It is important that members of the public continue to call their Senators and Representatives as the 2018 Farm Bill is debated in conference and eventually up to vote again. Supportive programs, mostly in the Senate version, for small organic farms, organic research programs, fraudulent organic imports tracking, and conservation programs could be on the chopping block as the conference tries to reach a compromise. Reciprocally, very damaging language in the House version that would undermine the authority of the National Organic Standards Board will be considered.
Members of the public have a chance to make a difference by staying on top of these issues and communicating their needs to their Congresspersons. The future of our agricultural system and particularly the administration of the organic label depends on support from the Farm Bill.
Keep the pressure on Representatives and Senators!
Call or email your Member(s) of Congress and tell them to support Farm Bill language that protects small farms and the integrity of the organic label. Click here to find your House and Senate Representatives.
Call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121, and ask for your Representative and/or Senator.
I support the improved tracking documentation, and other controls, for organic imports. This is an important step to protect American farms from the economic harm caused by fraudulent organic imports.
I oppose undermining a strong National Organic Standards Board. Clear administration of the National List is imperative to maintain a strong organic market and to prevent fraud.
I oppose undermining National List where materials are listed for a 5-year "term" and then automatically removed unless they receive a decisive 2/3 vote from the NOSB.
I support conservation programs that help farms protect biodiversity and ecosystem services on their land to benefit society as a whole.
I support increased funding organic research.

Initially attracted to the guitar as a teenager after being introduced to classic rock giants such as Led Zeppelin and The Beatles, Quinn's thirst for the unique and bizarre soon had him jamming along to the more radical and daring Mahavishnu Orchestra and the humorous, bass-laden noise of Primus. Playing virtually non-stop with countless musical projects afforded him ample opportunity to hone his chops. It wouldn't be long before the refining of his own artistic message coupled with a fresh, new outlook and a deeper musical/life philosophy opened up to him the world of jazz. Miles, Coltrane, Monk and Brubeck along with the more contemporary sounds of Bela Fleck, John Scofield, Ahmad Jamal, and Jaco Pastorius began heavily influencing his musical direction. Liberated by the idea of free improvisation, he was finally able to realize and focus his musical vision.
The Dirk Quinn Band released "Live at Home" in January of 2012. Featuring tracks recorded over 5 different shows in and around their hometown of Philadelphia, the new CD runs the gamut from beautiful and delicate movements to evil dissonance; from intricate and thought provoking melodies to hard driving funk and is a fantastic representation of the group's live show experience.


by: Oregonians and tourist predator wildlife watchers who seek to hear the howl of the wolf and find the shadow of the cougar.
PLEASE SIGN OUR PETITION IN SUPPORT OF "License To Protect" OREGON'S RETURNING WOLVES AND DWINDLING COUGAR POPULATION FROM BAD POLICY MAKING, HUNTING PROGRAMS, AND KILLING THEM SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY WERE SEEN!
There is a better plan to manage our wolves and cougar.
At the end of the day when all politics are done, Oregonians are the land ethic and moral responsibilities they choose to be to protect who we are and all that makes our State unique.
License To Protect would help revitalize rural Oregon economy and protect the Oregon we all love.
Representative Peter Buckley and Jayne Miller an Oregon cattle ranchers daughter who designed the Bill, were able to submit License To Protect at the State Legislative session last year. However the Agriculture Committee changed it so much that License To Protect was no longer recognizable as the original idea with unique benefits to Oregon.
From town hall meetings, to hunters, local ranchers, and urban Oregonians; the original concept of License To Protect has the promise of being very popular with Oregonians across the State. We are urging this Bill be reinstated in it's original format this upcoming Legislative session in February 2012.
License To Protect would create a new employer for Oregon Department Of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW) by way of the non-hunting Oregonian (or any Oregonian) buying a nonlethal license for cougar or wolves at the same cost as a killing license; thus reducing the numbers of wolves and cougar killed. ODFW, The Federal Government Wildlife Agency, Oregon's Agriculture Department and any other agency involved with the killing of cougar and wolves; would be required to hold to the letter of the law License To Protect and not increase kill quotas in other Bills or policies in order to offset the number of cougar and wolves saved from death that LTP would achieve. Currently, there are more cougar and wolf killing Bills, policies, and programs from the above organizations that were established without an environmental impact risk factor study done or unbiased outside peer review performed, before thrusting them upon Oregon ecosystems and wildlife. These various Bills and programs from these departments have insured that there is no true protection for either cougar or wolves at this time. There are only 13 States left with cougar, fewer with wolves. Here in Oregon we have far less cougar than we are told, and even less wolves.
ALL funding from License To Protect would be strictly monitored. The funds from this Bill would then be used to provide open wildlife corridors, non-lethal livestock protection programs, wildlife public safety education, compensate livestock owners any documented loss from cougar or wolves, develop eco-business, and as proven in other State's small rural towns that have wolves; would encourage a larger year-round income from tourist predator wildlife watching than hunting them ever brought in. As well as the tourist income this Bill would encourage, the statistics show there are currently more non-hunting Oregonians (approx 3.8 million) and more wildlife watchers ( 1.7 million) than there are hunters (282,000), so the funds used in License To Protect life giving programs could be substantial.
The logistics of presenting License To Protect to the public can be as simple as a check box on their tax documents - right next to the wildlife funds that ultimately support hunting. Cougar and wolves would not only be the keystone species for better wildlife, but also a keystone bridging the gap between rural needs and urban understanding of them.
License To Protect will generate money and a good reputation for Oregon, saving our small population of returning wolves and dwindling cougar numbers from sports hunting, poaching and killing them simply because they were seen.
But most of all License To Protect gives every Oregonian an opportunity to be an overseer to our great natural predators and connects every Oregonian to good land ethics. The cougar and wolves thank you and so do the ecosystems they sustain for us all.
Thank you for signing our petition requesting License To Protect become a Bill at the next Oregon State Legislative Session.
Visit www.OreCat.org to learn more about the background of License To Protect.
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION IN SUPPORT OF "License To Protect" OREGON'S RETURNING WOLVES AND DWINDLING COUGAR POPULATION FROM BAD POLICY MAKING, HUNTING PROGRAMS,AND KILLING THEM SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY WERE SEEN!
License To Protect builds a higher value for cougar and wolves and would help revitalize rural Oregon economy and protect the Oregon we all love.
License To Protect is not only supported by sound science, but by common sense. Only 13 States have cougar, less have wolves. Lets stop killing them now before they are all gone!

Causes of Aortic Aneurysm
Cardiovascular disease is one of the most important and most dangerous diseases that many people may suffer from, as many of these diseases may not show any symptoms to the patient, which may cause sudden death, and one of the most dangerous of these diseases is the dilation of the aorta.
What is the aorta?
The aorta is the largest and the most important blood vessel in the human body, which transfers oxygen-loaded blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
Aortic aneurysm:
Aortic dilation or aortic aneurysm is a condition in which the artery increases in size by one and a half times its normal size, which increases the risk of the artery rupture, which often leads to death.
Is an aortic aneurysm a rare disease?
Contrary to what many people think, this disease is common and affects about 5% of men over the age of 60, and some studies in Britain showed aortic aneurysm is the seventh cause of death in the United Kingdom.
Why is an aortic aneurysm considered the silent killer?
An aortic aneurysm is a very dangerous disease that may cause death, and the danger of this disease is that there are no symptoms in many cases, and most of the cases are diagnosed with an aneurysm too late after the rupture of the artery, The death rate that occurs as a result of aortic rupture is about 80% of the total cases, and the other 20% remains at risk of death if the case is neglected or is not treated correctly and quickly.
Causes of aortic dilatation:
Many causes and factors contribute to aneurysm, the most important of them are:
- Decreased levels of collagen in the vascular wall.
- Arteriosclerosis.
- Bacterial infections.
- Hypertension.
- Diabetes.
- Aging.
- Soft tissue diseases.
- Genetic causes.
Symptoms of aortic dilatation:
A patient with an aortic aneurysm may not show any symptoms, but symptoms often appear in the late stages in which the artery ruptures, the most important of these symptoms are:
- Feeling pain in the abdomen.
- Back pain.
- Suddenly low blood pressure.
- Increased heart rate.
Symptoms may differ if the expansion of the aorta is in the chest area, which makes the patient suffers from one of the following symptoms:
- Chest pain.
- Hoarseness or change in voice.
- Persistent cough.
- Shortness of breath.
There are many factors that increase the risk of an aortic aneurysm, such as:
- Smoking.
- People who drink alcohol.
- People with high blood pressure that are not treated well.
- People who are under severe stress.
- People over 60 years old.
Treatment of aortic dilatation:
Early detection and treatment of the causes of aortic expansion is the first stage of treatment that the doctor works on, in which the patient may take some medications to regulate pressure and blood glucose, but in some cases where it has been proven that there is an expansion and dilation in the artery may need to surgical intervention, and the most important of these surgeries are aortic stent placement. It is one of the most important and successful surgeries used to treat aortic dilatation, as this process creates a blood pathway within the dilated artery through the stent to decrease the risk of aortic rupture.
How is aortic stent placement performed?
The vascular surgeon chooses the appropriate stent according to each case, he takes the stent measurements very accurately to avoid any complications after the surgery. The patient is placed under general or partial anesthesia, and the stent is installed in the area of expansion through a catheter, and for this surgery, the width of the expansion is required to be larger than one and a half centimeters to install the stent and avoid any complications.
Post aortic stent placement:
The patient should follow the instructions prescribed by the vascular surgeon such as:
- After one month after the surgery, the patient should perform a CT scan.
- Regular check up by a CT scan every year.
These are done to make sure that the stent is centered inside the artery in its proper place, according to the measurements that were taken before the surgery.
Aortic aneurysm surgery:
The stent may not be suitable in some cases, so the vascular surgeon will replace the damaged part of the aorta with another artificial part.
Preventive principles to avoid aortic rupture:
- A periodic examination of the aorta for people over the age of 60 can be done by ultrasound or CT scans that accurately detect the presence of an aneurysm in the artery.
- Treatment of the causes of aortic dilation, and regulating blood glucose and cholesterol levels.
- Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol.

It is well known that, while discussing Manet's Olympia, with a friend of the Impressionists, Doctor Gachet, Cézanne declared, "I can also do something similar to Olympia." Gachet replied: "Well, do it." So his canvas could be perceived as a kind of parody of Manet's painting; there are many common components: the black-skinned servant as well as the flowers. It is, however, a protest aimed at the respected master; yet another of Cézanne's arguments in his constant battle against Impressionism and against Manet. In comparison to Manet's cold, elegant, model Victorine Meurent, Cézanne's Olympia, curled into a ball in a ray of dazzling light, embodies a bundle of passions and, very likely, his personal drama. And the artist himself, enveloped in the smoke of a water pipe, contemplates her, like a spectator would the actress on the stage. Nevertheless, it was through the scandal caused by A Modern Olympia during the first exhibition of the Impressionists that Cézanne first became famous.

He displayed there a number of canvases, but one of the most important critics of that time wrote that it was impossible to imagine a jury that would agree to accept Cézanne's works. A comparatively liberal female journalist, hiding behind the pseudonym Marc de Montifaud, called A Modern Olympia the work of a mad man suffering from delirium tremens; a picture in which "a nightmare is represented as a sensual vision." The opinions on Cézanne's painting did not seem so awful against the overall background of criticism. The exhibition brought gratification, too; the collector Count Doria bought a landscape entitled The House of the Hanged Man (p. 32), which was called an "appalling daub" in Leroy's celebrated article.
However, after all these insults and derision, Cézanne retreated to Aix leaving Hortense and her son, the young Paul, who was born in 1872, in Paris.

During the third exhibition of the Impressionists in 1877, Cézanne was honoured with special attention of the Charivari critic Louis Leroy, who singled him out as the target of his most subtle insults. Paul exhibited canvases typical of the genres he preferred at that time: landscapes, portraits, some still lifes and bathers. Toward the end of the 1870s, bathers became the symbol of his figurative compositions. Cézanne's work featured less and less narrative pictures, preferring more and more objects and motifs.
At the end of the 1870s and the beginning of the 1880s, Cézanne lived much of the time in Paris and worked in the area, in Melun or Médan-sur-Seine, at Zola's. Thus he sometimes painted the banks of the Oise, the Auvers or the Pontoise where Pissarro lived. He could be sometimes seen in Normandy. Needless to say Cézanne regularly returned to his native Provence, as he was too attached to his roots. His principal difficulty at this time was his relationship with his family and the need to hide from his father the existence of his son and Hortense whom he could not resolve to marry. Despite all his contrivances, his father eventually found out about the grandchild's existence.

The year 1886 was an extraordinary one in Cézanne's life. The publication of Zola's L'OEuvre was a shock to all the artists of the Impressionists' circle. The publication of L'OEuvre meant for Cézanne the end of a lifelong friendship with Zola.
The character of Claude Lantier in L'OEuvre a failure who did not succeed in realising his ambitions, deeply annoyed him. On April 4, 1886, Cézanne wrote to Zola to thank him for the book, which he had not yet had the time to read. This was the last letter they sent each other. Zola's novel was one of the reasons for Cézanne's fleeing Paris. He was afraid that all his acquaintances would see in him the hero of L'OEuvre.

On the other hand, the problems of Cézanne's family life solved themselves one after the other that year. In the spring of 1886, on the advice of his mother and sister Marie, Cézanne officially married Hortense at the Aix town hall. His son, Paul, was fourteen years old, and the matrimonial relations between him and Hortense were, in fact, dead. In October, at the age of eighty-eight, Louis-Auguste Cézanne died, and Paul inherited from him nearly 400,000 francs. The artist was thus able to settle all his debts and no longer needed to worry about his livelihood. Painting remained the only thing in his life.
Cézanne henceforth worked most of his time in Aix, rarely going to Paris. He refused to be exhibited, even with the Independents, where there was no jury. Gradually his circle of contacts became extremely narrow, the Paris of the arts almost forgot the strange Provençal.

Paul Cézanne, Lac d'Annecy, 1896. Oil on canvas, 65 x 81 cm. Samuel Courtauld Trust, Courtauld Institute of Art Gallery, London.
Cézanne demonstrated the conversion of Impressionism into "something solid and lasting" most of all in his landscapes. It seemed that he was not able to admire nature directly and could not experience the full vibration of colours. He had to organise it and construct his own landscape. He felt like an architect of nature. His affection for nature was completely natural and immutable. When he lived in Provence, he used the motif every day, like an obligation.
When he lived near the Mediterranean, he created yet another type of landscape. While working on a landscape at the seashore, in L'Estaque, he wrote Pissarro: "It is like a playing card. Red roofs on a blue sea… There are motifs which would require three or four months of work, could one find it, for there the vegetation never changes. There are olive trees and pines which never lose their leaves." The result is a canvas made up of several touches of well defined colours which represent the quintessence of the south: the blue sea, red roofs and the green trees.
He also often painted his favourite mountain, Mont Sainte-Victoire, from a high viewpoint. The valley spreads out at his feet, sprinkled with squares and circles representing houses and trees. The mountain's cone encloses the picture. He removed everything unnecessary from the landscape, using only clear geometric forms to compose it. Nevertheless nature does not lose its poetic aspect that Cézanne had already felt in his childhood.

Indonesian Employment Law Update: National Holidays, THR and Employees with Disabilities
By Indrawan D. Yuriutomo
There have been several Indonesian employment law developments since the beginning of the year. While these are not particularly big changes, it is important for businesses in Indonesia to stay on top of the latest employment rules.
National Holidays and Collective Leave in 2017
The Minister of Religious Affairs, Minister of Manpower and Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform have issued a joint decision on National Holidays and Collective Leave in 2017. The Joint Decree stipulates 14 public holidays in 2017, as follows:
New Year's Day - January 1
Chinese New Year - January 28
Hindu Day of Silence - March 28
Good Friday - April 14
Ascension Day of Prophet Muhammad - April 24
International Labor Day - May 1
Buddhist Waisak Day - May 11
Ascension Day of Jesus Christ - May 25
Idul Fitri - June 25 and 26
Independence Day - August 17
Idul Adha - September 1
Islamic New Year - September 21
Birth of Prophet Muhammad - December 1
Christmas Day - December 25
Separately, President Joko Widodo recently issued Presidential Decree No. 24 of 2016 to create a new national holiday, Pancasila Day, which will be marked on June 1 beginning in 2017.
The observation of holidays that fall on weekends is not moved to the nearest workday. However, the government may declare certain bridge holidays (referred to as collective leave) to extend holidays that fall on the weekend. There are two collective leave holidays in 2017:
Idul Fitri - June 23, 27 and 28
Christmas - December 26
Collective leave days are mandatory for civil servants. For civil servants, those forced leave days are deducted from the civil servants' available annual leave entitlements and are not treated as national holidays. Collective leave is not mandatory in the private sector. Some private sector companies encourage employees to voluntarily take collective leave days but cannot force employees to do so.
Religious Holiday Allowance
Minister of Manpower Regulation No. 6 of 2016 regarding Religious Holiday Allowance (THR) for Employees (MOM No. 6) requires all employers to provide THR to employees with at least one month of service, regardless of whether the worker is employed on a permanent or temporary basis. Previously, the obligation to provide THR only applied to workers with more than three months of service.
THR must be paid once a year, within a maximum of seven days of a given religious holiday, as follows:
Idul Fitri for Muslim employees
Christmas Day for Christian employees
Hindu Day of Silence for Hindu employees
Buddhist Waisak Day for Buddhist employees
Chinese New Year for Confucian employees
THR is equal to a minimum of one month's salary (basic salary plus any fixed cash monthly allowances) for workers with a minimum 12 months of service. Employees with more than one month but less than 12 months of service will receive THR on a pro rata basis.
Employers who do not meet their THR payment obligations in due time are subject to a fine amounting to 5% of the total THR amount payable, as well as administrative sanctions in accordance with the applicable employment laws and regulations.
Hiring People with Disabilities
The Government has issued a new law on persons with disabilities, Law No. 8 of 2016, which replaces a 1997 law. The new law provides protections and a guarantee of non-discrimination in the workplace for people with disabilities. Each private sector employer is required to ensure that at least 1% of its workforce is comprised of disabled persons. Law No. 8 also requires employers to accommodate and provide facilities to enable access by employees with disabilities. Employers who fail to provide such requirements face written warnings, cessation of operations, and suspension or revocation of their business license.

Q: php extra line breaks showing up I'm a total newbie with php. I'm returning some variables for an address and am checking to see if an address2 exists. If it's null, I want it to skip and not put an extra line in the formatting. But, it seems to be breaking the line anyway. I've experimented with break tags all over the place and not, but can't find where it's coming in.
echo "$comp_name
$comp_add1";
if (isset($comp_add2)) {
    echo "
$comp_add2"; }
echo "
$comp_city, $comp_state $comp_zip
$comp_url";

Take a look at this page: http://projects.ekcetera.com/people.php ... click on ABC Company, then check A Simplified Life, you'll see the extra line break in A Simplified Life.
What am I missing?

A: Your example page shows a fatal error, but I assume you have to use empty here, because the variable might be set, but only filled with an empty string.
So
if (isset($comp_add2)) {
    echo "
$comp_add2";
}

should be
if (!empty($comp_add2)) {
    echo "
$comp_add2";
}

Here is a good explanation regarding isset vs empty:
http://www.virendrachandak.com/techtalk/php-isset-vs-empty-vs-is_null/

A: in A Simplified Life your $comp_add2 is set , you must check is it null or not
echo "$comp_name
$comp_add1";
if (!empty($comp_add2)) {
    echo "
$comp_add2"; }
echo "
$comp_city, $comp_state $comp_zip
$comp_url";

I like to enter the 2 Things Challenge each week. This week is Empty and Full. I sure hope you like it! It took awhile to figure it out. I thought you might like to see last week's entries …. they are here. Anyone can join in, and I hope you give it a try!! We would love more people playing with us! Details are at this link above.
I asked this yesterday and got a few answers … and I thought I would ask again … even though I am beginning to form an opinion. There were so many words yesterday, it would have been easy to lose this. So, please feel free to share your opinion.
I know I mention my health a lot but don't say much. Given I am in business – an artist wanting to support myself from my artwork, I have been hesitant to say very much. But in comments and in other places I have said quite a bit at this point. I have decided that if you do want to know more, I will share it. So please let me know. Thank you!!
Yes! Please tell me more about yourself, Diane. I have not quizzed you about your illness, thinking that you did not want to share. I don't think an illness would cause anyone to think less of you or your abilities, but rather the opposite.
I can see through your bubbles, Diane!! Love your Empty/full entry.
the best to your day.
I agree, I would also like to know more about you, and also see a pic of you and see your long hair! Cool empty/full bubblescape (like the way you think here).
Diane: I have to say, I think this is my favorite challenge interpretation from you yet! Absolutely spectacular!
I love these colors! I have painted paintings with just these colors in mind. This piece is magical to look at. I see Empty/Full!
I'd love to see a photo of you, so I have a real picture to go along with the one I have created!
Diane the colors in this are vibrant and bright and wonderful. You can see the emptyness and the fullness.
Share only that what makes you comfortable but if there is a story of inspiration there I would love to hear it. Health is one of those universal concerns whether it is a large concern or a small one. Blessings to you.
Lovely image today, Diane. Very nice colors too.
Share what you are comfortable sharing. I, for one, would like to know all about you, but I also respect your wish for privacy, so it is up to you.
i know what she looks like! neener neener neener.
diane, it really is a personal matter. the question is, what do you want?
As for you sharing your health problems..I think that if it is important to you to share it then you should but if it's more impportant to keep these things seperate from your art then you shouldn't say more than you are comfortable with.
I think the blogging community can be a great source of friendship and encouragement be it artistcaly or personally….what ever you write we will respond too!


You're looking to scale your online business quickly and effectively. You want to take a load off of your plate, so you can focus on growing the business and not on the day-to-day operations. You want to move from a manager to an owner.
Scaling starts with the expansion of your team. Thanks to robust advancements in the hiring process, remote work, and scheduling processes, it's easier than ever to get more people onboard for various roles in your operations.
But how do you know what kind of team you want to grow?
Up until this point, your business may have just been you and your kids packing boxes in the garage. As you look to scale, you wonder what kind of employee will work for you. Many e-commerce companies function remotely, while others have physical space. Some have a lot of employees on the payroll, while others contract work out.
So what does "employee growth" actually look like for your business? Should you hire people in-house on your team, or should you consider outsourcing to freelancers?
Below we'll bring you through the process to determine if freelancers or in-house workers are best for your e-commerce business. Keep in mind that you might end up with a mixture of both, depending on your needs.
Who do you need to bring on your team in order to grow? Which roles are necessary to take your e-commerce store to the next level? Knowing who to bring on your team will help you determine whether their role is more effective in-house or freelance.
Once you have a list of necessary job openings, consider how they will ideally function within your company. Will you need a web developer just to create your initial website or to manage all of your web needs moving forward? If it's a short project, a freelancer might be enough. If you need a web developer to handle ongoing site crashes and improve coding, you might want to consider bringing someone in-house.
Start with one or two people per "department." If you want to grow, you can create a management position that will hold the responsibility of hiring their team as needed.
For example, you go from zero to 50 employees in one month. But the new employees are still getting acclimated and trained, so there isn't much impact on revenue yet. You suddenly have 50 new salaries to pay—with the same amount of sales you've had in months past. This could easily run your company into the ground in a few months, if not a few weeks.
When it comes to growth, slow and steady always wins the race. This helps you maintain control while meeting an increase in overhead, and building a strong culture from the ground up.
Pro-tip: Create a hiring schedule. Start with the most important roles for growth, like a marketing or operations manager. Then, consider how this will impact your numbers. Build a rough timeline for hiring that will allow you to get everyone on your team in a timely manner without stretching or drying out your resources.
It's becoming more common for online retailers to outsource entire departments and processes. The B2B (business to business) e-commerce sphere was already huge and grew even more as a trend in 2018. This means it's easier than ever to find software and online services to control your business processes for you.
For example, some online retailers will outsource their operations to third-party logistics businesses. This hands over the process to an expert team who can do it efficiently and effectively, saving you time, money, and energy.
You may also want to outsource your marketing processes. It's not uncommon for small businesses to lack the experience needed to market their business effectively. If you're ready to grow, it's time to consider outsourcing your marketing optimization to Seller's Choice. Our team members are proven, hands-on experts at building brands and advancing digital reach.
Is outsourcing right for you? Read What To Outsource And What To Keep In-House to make the decision.
Do You Have the Capital to Provide Benefits?
Most in-house employees expect a benefits package. This can include healthcare, workers' compensation, and even a 401(k). If you're bringing workers on in-house, especially full-time, you will need to offer a comprehensive benefits plan. This is both required legally, and your offerings can help in attracting the top talent.
Freelancers typically don't receive benefits, though. But that doesn't mean they don't get benefits from you, but their benefits aren't necessarily paid. You can provide benefits like the flexibility to choose their own hours, to work for bonuses or extra pay, and even to travel for your business if applicable.
Some companies do offer paid benefits to freelancers to create a more attractive package. This is something you can consider if you aren't attracting the types of contractors you're looking for, but you still want to keep top talent on a freelance basis.
Is the Infrastructure in Place?
Whether in-house or freelance, you'll need to consider how your employees will interact and work together. Do you have a physical office space for your in-house employees? If you have a remote team, which software and platforms are you going to use to centralize communications?
You want to set up the appropriate infrastructure to manage those employees. For example, if your entire team will be remote, you might want to consider freelancers who already know how to work independently. If your in-house team will be in an office, you will need to create a physical working space that takes overhead into account.
The team you have will determine the infrastructure you need and vice versa. Make sure you have the resources to build the appropriate infrastructure for your ideal team.
Whether you hire a freelancer or in-house employee, there's never been a better time to grow your team and scale up. With 2019 finally here, e-commerce is exploding, technology is advancing quickly, and your business is perfectly poised for profits.
Consult with Seller's Choice to get your team on the right track for marketing success this year.
