Q: How to extract and print, maintaining the order of appearance within the original input string, the substrings that match one of these RegEx patterns? I was having some trouble printing the desired elements from a string, since these desired elements respond to different patterns (in this case I simplified it to 3 regex patterns). The objective, as shown in the examples below, is to print what is stored in the substring_to_extract_1 or/and substring_to_extract_2 variable, and these information extractions must be printed in the console in the order in which they appear in the input string (what which is tricky since inside the read loop there are 3 patterns to check)
import re

input_text = "quizas seria mejor ir de 06 00 am a 11 59 ya que me gusta viajar a esas horas" #example 1

finding loop:

    continue_comparing = True

    # 1) The least restrictive RegEx, not too restrictive but must be extracted by 2 substrings
    #    examples: "entre las 19hs y las 20 30", "entre las 18 y las 20", "entre la 1 y las 15hs"
    regex_1 = "(?:apartir de |de|entre |desde )\s*(?:las|la )\s*" substring_to_extract_1 "\s*(?:de la tarde|de la noche|de la mañana|)\s*(?:y las |y la |hasta las |hasta la |hasta )\s*" substring_to_extract_2 "\s*(?:de la tarde|de la noche|de la mañana|)"
    if (regex_2 == True and continue_comparing == True):
        print(repr(substring_to_extract_1))
        print(repr(substring_to_extract_2))
        continue_comparing = False

    # 2) The intermediate restrictive RegEx, but it must be indicated if it is "am" or "pm"
    #    examples:  "las 18:00am", "las 1800pm", "las 1800 p.m.", "las 08 00 am", "la 01 00 a.m.", "las 19 15 pm", "las 23 pm"
    regex_2 = "(?:las|la )\s*" substring_to_extract_1 "\s*(?:a.m.|a.m|am.|am|a m|p.m.|p.m|pm.|pm|p m)\s*(?:de la tarde|de la noche|de la mañana|)"
    if (regex_1 == True and continue_comparing == True):
        print(repr(substring_to_extract_1))
        continue_comparing = False

    # 3) The last and the most restrictive RegEx, it should only extract a substring like the first regex, but this requires that this substring be preceded by more things
    #    examples: "a las 17", "a las 6 y 15", "desde las 15 hs", "a las 15 y 45 hs", "hasta las 17 00", "antes de las 16:06"
    regex_3 = "(?:a eso de |a esas de |despues de |antes de |hasta |tipo |desde |apartir de |de |a )\s*(?:las|la )\s*" substring_to_extract_1 "\s*(?:de la tarde|de la noche|de la mañana|)"
    if (regex_3 == True and continue_comparing == True):
        print(repr(substring_to_extract_1))
        continue_comparing = False

In the regex patterns I indicate as substring_to_extract_1 the location where the data will be extracted, but for example for the first regex, I think something like this r'(\d{1,2}\s*(?::| )\s*\d{1,2}\s*(?:am|pm))'  would work. I could then extract those matches using the function .groups()
For the other 2 regex I am not sure, since they will depend a lot on how the reading loop should be structured.

Some examples of possible input strings to parse:
Example 1:
input_text = "quizas seria mejor ir de 06 00 am a 11 59 ya que me gusta viajar a esas horas"

In this case you must extract the following substrings one by one and print them in order of appearance...
output that I need:
"de 06 00 am"   <--- was extracted by the second regex pattern
"a 11 59"       <--- was extracted by the third regex pattern

Example 2:
input_text = "a eso de las 6 de la tarde o las 19 15 pm deberiamos estar alli, no crees? recuerda que desde las 15 hs ya empieza el evento, pero podemos estar alli antes de las 14 30 hs, aunque eso depende porque el show recien empezara entre las 15 hs y las 18pm"

output that I need:
"de las 6 de la tarde"    <--- was extracted by the third regex pattern
"las 19 15 pm"            <--- was extracted by the second regex pattern
"desde las 15"            <--- was extracted by the third regex pattern
"de las 14 30"            <--- was extracted by the third regex pattern
"entre las 15"            <--- was extracted by the first regex pattern
"y las 18pm"              <--- was extracted by the first regex pattern

Example 3:
input_text = "Hay que estar presentes entre las 19hs y las 20 30 hs, y seguro salimos a las 23 pm"

output that I need:
"entre las 19"            <--- was extracted by the first regex pattern
"y las 20 30"             <--- was extracted by the first regex pattern
"a las 23 pm"             <--- was extracted by the second regex pattern

Example 4:
input_text = "A las 19 salimos!! es importante llegar alla antes de las 20 30 hs"

output that I need:
"A las 19"                <--- was extracted by the third regex pattern
"de las 20 30"            <--- was extracted by the third regex pattern

Example 5:
input_text = "A las 19:30 salimos!! es importante llegar alla antes de las 20 30 hs, ya que a las 21: pm cierran algunos negocios, sin embargo el cine esta abierto hasta las 23:30 pm de la noche"

output that I need:
"A las 19:30"                    <--- was extracted by the third regex pattern
"de las 20 30"                   <--- was extracted by the third regex pattern
"a las 21: pm"                   <--- was extracted by the second regex pattern
"hasta las 23:30 pm de la noche" <--- was extracted by the second regex pattern

How should I read the input string? And consequently, how should I structure the code block that allows us to evaluate the patterns in these cases?

A: Try (regex101):
import re

test_cases = [
    "a eso de las 6 de la tarde o las 19 15 pm deberiamos estar alli, no crees? recuerda que desde las 15 hs ya empieza el evento, pero podemos estar alli antes de las 14 30 hs, aunque eso depende porque el show recien empezara entre las 15 hs y las 18pm",
    "quizas seria mejor ir de 06 00 am a 11 59 ya que me gusta viajar a esas horas",
    "Hay que estar presentes entre las 19hs y las 20 30 hs, y seguro salimos a las 23 pm",
    "A las 19 salimos!! es importante llegar alla antes de las 20 30 hs",
]

pat = re.compile(
    r"\b(?:de las|entre las|desde las|y las|a las|las|de|a)\s+\d+(?:\s+\d+)?\s*(?:pm|am|de la tarde)?",
    flags=re.I,
)

for t in test_cases:
    x = pat.findall(t)
    print(t)
    print("-" * 80)
    print(*map(str.strip, x), sep="\n")
    print()

Prints:

On November 15, 1984, the Phoenix, Arizona Fire Department responded to a rescue call at a small petroleum bulk plant. A worker, involved in a toluene tank cleaning operation, was overcome in the tank. During rescue operations, that utilized a gasoline engine driven power saw, an explosion occurred resulting in the death of one fire fighter and injury to 16 other fire fighters. The worker died of asphyxiation and inhalation of toluene vapors.
This incident emphasizes the need for recognition of both the flammability and toxic properties of hazardous materials at fire and rescue scenes and the application of appropriate procedures.


The Schweizer SGS 1-34 is a United States Standard Class, single-seat, high-wing glider built by Schweizer Aircraft of Elmira, New York.
The 1-34 was designed over a number of years in the mid-1960s and first flew in 1969.
By the time the 1-34 was introduced it was no longer competitive in the Standard Class, but has proven very successful as a club aircraft.
The 1-34 was designed over several years to spread out the development costs. At the time the design work on the aircraft was started the Standard Class was new and described a very simple aircraft with terminal velocity dive brakes, fixed landing gear and no water ballast. By the time the 1-34 had flown in 1969 the Standard Class rules had changed to allow essentially unrestricted sailplanes with a 15-metre (49.2 feet) wingspan.
The SGS 1-34 is of all metal aluminum semi-monocoque construction. All surfaces are aluminum covered, with the exception of the rudder which is covered in aircraft fabric.
The 1-34 has the originally specified terminal velocity dive brakes, that limit the glider to below redline speeds in a vertical dive. Developing and testing these proved expensive and time-consuming and this also extended the aircraft's development time.
The 1-34 was the first Schweizer design to depart from using a NACA airfoil. The 1-34 has no wing washout and instead uses a Wortmann FX 61-163 airfoil at the wing root transitioning to a Wortmann FX 61-126 airfoil at the wing tip. The tip airfoil stalls at a higher angle of attack, ensuring that the wing root stalls first.
The one company concession to the changing Standard Class rules was the development of a retractable landing gear version of the 1-34, designated as the SGS 1-34R.
The 1-34 also features in-flight adjustable rudder pedals and a two-way adjustable seat to accommodate pilots of different heights.
The 1-34 was flown in Standard Class competitions, but was out-performed by the new fiberglass European gliders, such as the Glasflügel H-201 Standard Libelle.
During the protracted development process, Schweizer Aircraft was aware that the 1-34 would be overtaken by the changes in class rules and also by the performance of the newer European fiberglass sailplanes, but continued development of the SGS 1-34 anyway. The company identified that there was demand from private owners and especially clubs and commercial operations for a simple, rugged single seat glider with greater performance than the 1-26.
In service the 1-34 has proven to be a popular club aircraft and ideal for the completion of badge flights. If a greater number of 1-34s had been built, Schweizer indicated that it would have become another one-design class, similar to the 1-26.
The 1-34 type certificate is currently held by K & L Soaring of Cayuta, New York. K & L Soaring now provides all parts and support for the Schweizer line of sailplanes.
At least two 1-34s have been highly modified. Bob Park's 1-34R, registered N17974, was damaged when a hurricane passed through Georgia and resulted in a hangar collapse. The 1-34R was rebuilt with a V-tail and ballast tanks mounted in the wings that hold 230 lbs (105 kg) of water. The aircraft was subsequently registered in the experimental Racing - Exhibition category.
A modified SGS 1-34 airframe with tricycle landing gear and powered by a Lycoming TIO-360 piston engine was used as the basis for the pilotless Martin Marietta Model 845 prototype, an entry in the early 1970s USAF Compass Dwell endurance UAV program.
In May 2008 there were still 63 1-34s and six 1-34Rs registered in the USA and 5 SGS 1-34s in Canada.
The USAF designation for the SGS 1-34 is TG-6.
The original fixed landing gear 1-34 model was certified under type certificate G3EA on 16 October 1969.
The retractable gear 1-34R was added to type certificate G3EA on 15 June 1971.
After a hangar collapsed on Bob Park's 1-34R and destroyed the aft part of the aircraft he rebuilt it in the Experimental - Racing/Exhibition category with a V-tail and 230 lb (104 kg) of water ballast. The new tail allowed 18 lb (8 kg) of lead nose ballast to be removed. The aircraft flew three diamond goal and gold distance flights in August 1983.

Qualcomm Atheros has released the source code of firmware for two of its 802.11n wireless chips on GitHub.
"Finally I did it. I decided to point to an higher goal asking Dell to produce a free software laptop. I made a campaign in english and italian inviting all the people to ask Dell for a machine with coreboot, atheros wireless chipset and gnewsense preinstalled. Now I am asking your support..."
One of the most annoying experiences for any desktop Linux user is installing a Linux on a laptop, switching it on, and... discovering that the Wi-Fi chipset doesn't support Linux.
"Atheros Communications has announced the release of free software wireless drivers for ath9k. The ath9k driver requires no proprietary binary blobs and works on several chipsets and over a dozen wireless devices..."
The ath5k driver has been through more than the usual amount of legal trouble. This driver, for Atheros wireless chipsets, was originally reverse engineered and developed in the BSD community.
An investigation by the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) has determined that OpenHAL -- which facilitates Linux wireless connections for LAN cards using Atheros Communications technology -- does not incorporate any elements that might infringe on copyrights held by Atheros.


Rocking the mining sector – time for buyers to be a little boulder?
Over the last 12 months, an increasing number of mining services companies have approached us wondering where we are in the cycle, and when the right time is to start looking for a partner / exit. After riding the highs and lows of the last boom, owners are either exhausted and keen to get off the rollercoaster, or have weathered the storm and want to position early for the next uptick.
Looking at the stats, the "recovery" is far from conclusive. Commodity prices staged something of a comeback in 2018, but the outlook for the next 2 years is flat at best. Investment in mining operations seems to have stabilized, but again the outlook is "cautiously optimistic". However, according to the below ABS / BIS data, the real opportunity is in operating and maintaining the investment already made at the height of the boom.
Investors seem to be cottoning on to this. Over the last 18 months there have been a number of transactions in the mining services sector, as detailed in the table below. Most of these provide people, equipment, or maintenance services to mine owners as they ramp up production.
So, what advice can we give owners who are considering a transaction in the next few years?
Tailor your message. It's important to not just tell your story, but also consider why you might be attractive to particular buyers. How can you help a buyer take advantage of increased sector activity? What do you offer that they can't build organically – access to particular customers or projects, skillsets, or a team of people that's hard to replicate? What does your balance sheet look like – if you've got low debt, can this help the buyer improve their own leverage ratios?
Succession planning. You need to have an answer for why you are trying to exit, and what the business looks like without you. Who has the relationships with customers and suppliers? Is there a management team? What are the growth opportunities for the next owner?
Of course, if you need some help framing this story, you know where to come! InterFinancial has a long history working with mining services businesses, and we are in regular contact with investors in the sector. If you would like to discuss your growth or succession options, please contact Brad Shaw or Mark Steinhardt on 07 3218 9100.

Carlos A. Nevarez
Carlos is an Associate Attorney with both federal and state clerkship experience who supports the firm's work with general commercial litigation, white collar criminal defense, and bankruptcy litigation and other insolvency-related issues.
Carlos has experience as a judicial law clerk to federal and state judges, judges pro tempore, and staff attorneys on complex and high-stakes matters encompassing corporate and personal liquidations and reorganizations, contract disputes, personal injury, real property litigation, business torts, and administrative appeals.
While at BKLW, Carlos has worked on various bankruptcy, complex civil, and criminal cases. Among other things, he successfully obtained the dismissal of an adversary proceeding by one of the debtor's minority interest holders against several unsecured creditors in a chapter 11 case. In this heavily contested case, Carlos and the BKLW team additionally secured the allowance and payment of nearly $1 million in administrative expense claims owed to the largest unsecured creditor.
In addition, Carlos represented a businessman facing several tax-related felonies in federal court. He and his team persuaded the District Attorney's Office to accept a plea deal of one year probation, no restitution, and no prison time. Carlos also represented a professional licensee accused of aggravated insurance fraud in an information charging ten felonies. As the lead associate on the matter, he worked to secure his client a two-misdemeanor plea deal for unrelated offenses that resulted in 45 days of community service and no prison time. Carlos also defended a globally-renowned pharmaceutical company in a products liability action. After months of intense litigation, Carlos and another BKLW partner filed a comprehensive demurrer that resulted in the plaintiff summarily dropping all claims against the client. Most recently, Mr. Nevarez was a member of the BKLW trial team that secured a global misdemeanor settlement for his client and several other technology professionals charged in one of the first federal prosecutions under the CAN-SPAM Act.
Prior to joining BKLW, Carlos clerked for the Honorable Ernest M. Robles at the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California. There, he worked on issues concerning Section 727 non-dischargeability, Section 523 exception to discharge, relief from the automatic stay, plan confirmations, proof of claim objections, challenges to debtors' homestead exemptions, valuation disputes, and Section 363 asset sales. At the Superior Court of California, San Francisco County, Carlos was a law clerk to Presiding Judge Teri L. Jackson. There, he also served the entire civil bench, which included assignments for one of California's busiest real property tribunals.
Carlos is a graduate of Berkeley Law School at the University of California. While studying at Berkeley Law, he earned the "Prosser Prize" in Constitutional Law (second in class). After his first year of law school, Carlos externed for the Honorable John A. Mendez at the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. Additionally, he was Associate Editor for the Ecology Law Quarterly and Development Director for the La Raza Law Journal (LRLJ).
As an LRLJ and La Raza Law Students Association member, Carlos provided academic support and mentorship to first-generation, first-year law students as well as undergraduate and high school students. He continues such mentorship to this day, as he regularly speaks as a panelist to undergraduate and high school students about his law school and clerkship experiences, most recently at the Munger, Tolles & Olson Fellows Program workshop. At a CLE event organized by the James T. King Southern California Bankruptcy Inn of Court, he also presented on patient care ombudsman issues concerning debtors and creditors in liquidation and reorganization proceedings. Carlos obtained bachelor's degrees in philosophy and political science, summa cum laude, and earned the distinction of a Top Ten Senior from the University of Texas at El Paso.

This Wall Can Talk
Ethan Pack
Is the Israeli separation barrier an "apartheid wall," as its critics contend? I am not ignorant of the offenses that have given rise to such reactions, and yet I often find myself contending with that term based on my personal experience in the West Bank and the southern Galilee. My position can only be understood against a rough summary of relations between Israelis and Palestinians.
Before the first intifada in the 1980s, Israelis were largely ignorant of Palestinian national will, and therefore the necessity of granting Palestinian rights eluded them. But, after the chaos, when both public sentiment and the rise of Hamas made these national aspirations impossible to ignore, Israeli invited the return of the PLO, hoping it would evolve into a responsible and centralized Palestinian Authority. The second Middle East peace process was thus initiated, and the Israeli government hoped to remedy Israeli-Palestinian tension through a bilateral process of negotiation and concessions. Negotiations collapsed after Yasser Arafat unconditionally rejected Ehud Barak's 2000 unexpectedly generous final-status offer. A bilateral solution proved unachievable. Palestinian militancy, formerly expressed by political intransigence, now evolved into a second intifada. And finally, after years of frustrated military responses such as targeted assassinations, the Israeli government has formulated its own unilateral response: to establish a working border and to raise a fence along it that will repel Palestinian attacks and incursions.
The barrier in its most basic form shows that the Israelis have come to understand the unceasing efforts of militants to eliminate them, as well as the dual necessity to both secure their fellow citizens and recognize Palestinian national aspirations.
For me, the tendency to label the barrier as a monstrosity of oppression or obstacle to peace is too harsh. I'm conflicted; my instinctual self-criticism sears me for being an apologist, a blind supporter who casually dismisses the barrier's every negative effect. The barrier raises very serious questions, the most concrete and controversial being its route in the West Bank, and its physical composition.
It's hard to applaud the barrier's construction. Both far-right settlers and Palestinians are looking to the Supreme Court to curb the Likud government's route proposals, themselves antithetical to every Likud leadership before 2002, the second and bloodiest year of the recent intifada. Meanwhile, the defense establishment's role in the chain of command has been inverted, as it now takes orders based on disparate civilian interest rather than establishing the parameters for civic debate.
In articulating my response, both to my inner voice and to the barrier's detractors, I notice that the barrier's construction directly addresses the security concerns which motivated its construction. First of all, although photographs in the western media mainly feature a looming concrete wall, ninety-seven percent of the 450 mile barrier is in fact a ten foot chain-link fence. The sections made of concrete separate Israeli roads and houses from Palestinian neighborhoods that were used by gunmen as sniper posts to fire at apartment windows, passing cars, and even Israeli children playing soccer in parking lots. These walled strips have become pilgrimage points for protesters as well as lazy photographers with an eye for the symbolic, but they generally are only a few hundred yards long and traversable on either side. In a section east of Jerusalem that I visited, the wall was particularly imposing, reaching 12 meters above the ground it stood on. But I learned that it had been relocated from higher ground in order to avoid cutting through a residential area and razing illegally-built Palestinian houses. As a result, it had to be built taller than its originally-planned two meters.
The barrier's effectiveness reinforces the correspondence between its physical form and its political causes. I lived in Israel's north in 2003 for a four-month period, and during that time the region's towns were declared secure as the fence's northern portion was completed. In fact, after the first third of the barrier was constructed in the northern west bank, the rate of civilian deaths due to large-scale attacks dropped 84%. This drop comes from a failure of execution on the part of the terrorists, not a lack of trying. Unsuccessful attacks have averaged about 10 a day during the last two years, only slightly fewer than during the intifada as a whole. The barrier is the only conceivable explanation for their lack of success. Certainly, the lack of noticeable change in genocidal propaganda emanating from the Palestinian school system, media, and clergy have aggravated fears that, even after the barrier goes up, the population on the other side will be no more amenable to the two-state solution it imposes, having never been weaned off the milk of the militant celebritization of those "martyrs" who die fighting Israelis.
Still, nothing can obscure the clear humanitarian and political consequences of the barrier. It cuts off thousands of Palestinians from their fields, jobs, schools, and health clinics, forcing them to cross through a small number of tedious and humiliating checkpoints. In order to clear its path, the Israeli military has razed thousands of olive trees, and the task of monitoring it has increased Israeli military presence near the property of Palestinian towns and villages.
Aside from these particular problems, the barrier's route raises broader political questions. First of all, it strays from the Green Line, the 1949 ceasefire border between the then Jordanian-ruled West Bank and Israel. Israelis insist that the Green Line does not delineate a defensible border, and therefore cannot serve as the exclusive guideline for the path of a security barrier. Political analysts point to the three wars before 1967, when Arab armies invaded Israel, as evidence of these borders' real and perceived vulnerability. In some places, the Green Line sits ten yards from Israeli cities, a distance that would give security forces insufficient time to detect and react to terrorist intrusions. In other areas, the Green line sits on high ground nine miles from the Mediterranean coast, into which Hamas, and certain PA, officials swear they will push the Jews.
Nevertheless, factors other than pure geographic necessity have influenced the fence's construction. The Likud has attempted to use the fence as pretext for their expanionist vision of a final settlement. The Supreme Court has responded by halting construction at two different points in time, and in both cases it eventually ruled that equally strategic routes could cause less humanitarian harm and better preserve the contiguity of Palestinian land. And although it is understandable that the barrier's route snakes around settlement blocs, whose location were often chosen at points of previous vulnerability, certain elements on the right also aim to significantly inconvenience Palestinians from Jerusalem and Qalqilya and force them to vacate to the east. But having lived in East Jerusalem, straddling volatile Israeli Arab, Jewish, and Palestinian neighborhoods, it is obvious that attempts to alter demographics by the relocation of people is both reprehensible and counter-productive. The more settlers the fence tries to encompass, the more Palestinians it will leave on the Israeli side. As such, any attempt to include populated Palestinian areas within the fence's purview threatens the demographic constitution of Israel proper, and cuts into the land and people of what must be a Palestinian state-- the sooner the better.
Israeli, Jewish, and world critics of all stripes must ensure that no Israeli government uses the barrier to frustrate Palestinian national aspirations that concord with a mutually affirming two-state solution. But any critic must realize that no Israeli government will be able to remove a barrier that is the last line of defense against death. No one can deny the necessity of a militarized border. Any look into the Palestinian school system or media will tell you that their opposition to the fence, though valid for many reasons, does not stem from a desire for neighborliness. Nonetheless, those who only emphasize the collective Palestinian inconvenience the barrier has caused overlook the fact that for years Palestinian towns along the Green Line shelter snipers as well as suicide bombers en route. The barrier raises questions about collective punishment that cannot be ignored. But death, unlike detours, is an irreversible inconvenience.

Booktrib's Bookbites: Four Great Reads Tackle Variety Of Topics
(NAPSI)—From a fictional pandemic to disappearing jets, here are reviews of four different books that you might want to check out. They are available on different platforms.
"Viral" by Kevin E. Ready
A story of hope and the indomitable will of the human spirit. This is a popular fiction saga of a pandemic—written well before the COVID-19 virus was ever heard of—and the actions taken by people around the world to fight it. The story is told from the viewpoint of several key characters in various countries and walks of life. It includes realistic descriptions of the disease and heartfelt sub-stories of the characters as they deal with the pandemic.
A woman of science must step up and become a leader and, hopefully, a savior. A first responder finds himself fighting for the lives of thousands. Valiant medical workers face near-impossible tasks while risking their very lives. Sounds only too real. Purchase at https://amzn.to/2AieoiT.
"Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again" by Glenn Aparicio Parry
To recreate a whole and sacred America, it is important to piece together the forgotten fragments of history currently keeping the country divided. Just as a traditional Native American potter begins a new pot with shards of old pots, "Original Politics" re-constellates the nation as a whole out of the seemingly disparate shards from its origins.
Perhaps the most significant forgotten piece is the profound effect Native America had on the founding values of this nation. "Original Politics" demonstrates how the best aspects of America's founding vision were inspired from Native American cultures: natural rights, liberty, and egalitarian justice. Native America has inspired bringing all the world's peoples together on one soil in a harmonious cultural mosaic of unity and diversity. Purchase at https://amzn.to/3bgwsHe.
"Stitching a Life: An Immigration Story" by Mary Helen Fein
It's 1900, and 16-year-old Helen comes alone across the Atlantic from a village in Lithuania, fleeing terrible anti-Semitism and persecution. She arrives at Ellis Island, and settles on the Lower East Side. She finds a job and devotes herself to bringing the rest of her family to the New World.
A few at a time, Helen's family members arrive. Each goes to work and contributes to bringing over their remaining beloved ones. Helen meanwhile, falls in love with a man who introduces her to a different New York—of wonder, beauty and possibility. From She Writes Press, purchase at https://amzn.to/3cs356h.
"Final Flight" by Eric C. Anderson
On a clear, cold night high above East Asia, a China Air passenger jet disappears from radar with all aboard. It's an anomaly, a fluke. And then a couple of hours later, it happens again.
It's 2023. Former Air Force maintenance officer Jason Montgomery and Rob "Ski" Kalawski have just landed the gig of their lives. China Air's aging fleet of Boeing 777s desperately needs navigation hardware and software upgrades. It's a multimillion-dollar contract, and they're just the guys to do it. Right? Wrong. Jason's just the middleman, but he finds himself trapped between yakuza gangsters, a tattooed dragon-lady sales exec and murderous Russian mobsters. Purchase at https://amzn.to/3ba9Qbc.

While I'm alive, I'll make tiny changes to Earth
2008 in review: Films and TV
Early on this year I gave up on tracking films and books in my Quick Reviews list. I hope this is a temporary condition, because I've come to the end of the year and I'm struggling to remember what I have watched and read.
At least with films, I know for a fact that the list is very limited. I caught a few of the obvious ones (Iron Man, The Dark Knight, Quantum of Solace), but there there are many more I wanted to see, but missed: Hancock, The Incredible Hulk, Body Of Lies, etc. And nothing I saw has stuck in my mind as an all-time great.
The viewing experiences I enjoyed most in 2008 were TV shows, consumed in multi-episode nightly blocks, courtesy of DVD box sets. I love pouring myself a glass of single malt, curling up on the sofa, and settling in to watch a couple of episodes of something big – a story that is going to go on for hours and hours. Here's what I've been watching in 2008:
The Wire is one of the best TV shows ever made — believe everything you hear about it. Every character is nuanced, every piece of dialogue is textured, and every episode is a treat to savour. I caught up on seasons 3 and 4 this year, and it keeps getting better. I'm about to order season 5, and I can easily see myself going straight back to the first series to watch the whole thing all over again.
Richard is a big fan of The Shield, and it was on his recommendation that I started watching it. I was a bit apprehensive at first — The Wire sets a high bar for quality — but The Shield is a very different beast. It's fast-paced where The Wire takes its time. It runs on a constant knife-edge of conflict where The Wire exists in a flux of uneasy truces. When violence erupts, in The Shield it is ugly, brutal, and personal, whereas in The Wire it is more likely to be "just business." But in both cases, the characters are more than just the heroes and villains of the story, they are the story. I'm up to season 5 now, and about to order season 6.
Spooks had never really been on my radar when we were in the UK, which is odd, because I do like a good spy story. My brother bought me series 1 last Christmas, but I didn't watch it until June. After that I was hooked, though. The episodes are uneven, and sometimes it feels like the team just stumbles from one terrorist plot to another with nothing much inbetween. It really shines, though, when the characters' decisions matter, and affect their lives from that point forward. I'm three seasons in, and 4 is ready and waiting.
Criminal Minds is the odd one out here. The cast of characters is engaging and watchable, but although each episode takes the opportunity to reveal something more about each member of the BAU team, it has not irrevocably changed any of them — so far, at least*. I'm two episodes into season 2, and it's still the Serial-Killer-Of-The-Week club. That's not to say I don't like it — I do; it's well-written and very entertaining — but with the exception of a few episodes, it's popcorn crime compared to the The Wire and The Shield.
The only downside of watching TV series is that it's way too easy to say, "oh, I'll just watch one more episode," and before you know it it's gone midnight.
* Update: spoke too soon. I should have waited until episode 5+6 of season 2.

The father of Dylann Roof, the man accused of killing nine black people in a Charleston church, claims to have received threatening calls and to be in fear for his life.
Franklin Roof called police to his home in Columbia, South Carolina, according to police records obtained by the New York Daily News.
"The victim states that individuals claiming to be with the Black Panther Party have called several times and left messages stating, 'I'm coming to see you real soon, buddy boy,'" records say.
"The victim states that another individual claiming to be from the Nation of Islam called and stated that they wanted to interview him and make sure his whole family was there. The victim states he believes that these phone calls are implied threats."
On Friday, Franklin released a statement expressing "shock, grief, and disbelief" after his son was arrested for the attack at a bible study group in Emanuel AME Church in Charleston.
"The victim states that whenever his phone is turned on, that he is constantly receiving calls from restricted numbers that are making harassing comments with implied threats to harm, with the intent to intimidate him and his family," police records say.
"He has to keep his cellphone turned off in order to stop the calls from coming in. The victim is concerned for his safety as well as his family safety."
There is currently a police guard outside Franklin's property, reported the newspaper.
In court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, Franklin's ex-wife Paige Mann accused him of domestic violence.

Amritsar weather is very much like the other North Western cities of India. Amritsar has extreme climatic conditions with very hot summers and freezing cold winters. The summer season (April to August) is very hot and dry with the maximum temperature of about 43°C. During the winter months, from November to March, the temperature falls down to 0 °C and sometimes even below that.
Amritsar has a semi-arid climate, typical of northwestern India and experiences four primary seasons.There are on average 3,200 sunshine hours per year in Amritsar. Annual rainfall is about 681 millimeters.
In Amritsar, summer lasts from April to June when temperatures can reach from 45 degrees Celsius. At the end of March, temperatures rise steadily till June which is the hottest month with the average temperature at 25.2 degrees Celsius. There is intense heat during this season and the dusts are laden with hot dust.
Winter lasts from November to March with temperature ranges from 4 °C to about 19 °C. During this season, Amritsar is affected by cold waves and the minimum temperature drops down to a degree or two below the freezing point of water. Frosts are common during the cold season.
Relative humidity is usually high in the morning time crossing 70 percent except during the summer season when it is less than 50 percent. The skies are most of the time partly to heavily clouded and sometimes overcast during the monsoon. During the rest of the year, the skies are generally clear or lightly clouded.
Weather is affected by the western disturbances during the cold season, leading to widespread rain and gusty winds. Dust-storms and thunderstorms occur mostly in the summer season.
Amritsar is a holy city in the state of Punjab, India. It is now a major pilgrimage and tourism centre in India. The name of the city Amritsar means "holy pool of nectar" which is derived from the name of the pool around the Golden Temple. Amritsar is the spiritual and cultural center of the Sikh religion. The Sikhs are rightfully very proud of the city Amritsar where they have their beautiful and unique Gurdwara, the place of worship.
Amritsar's main attraction is the Golden Temple, initiated by Guru Ramdaas Ji, the fourth Sikh Guru and it is the most important religious place to the Sikhs. The Golden Temple is a spectacular complex, and it is always full of thousands of pilgrims from all over India. The excitement to be here is infectious, and many people will show you around the temple itself. You can visit the temple twice: once during the day, once at night, when the temple becomes beautifully lit up.
You can also visit the Jallianwala Bagh (Garden) which is a short 5-minute walk from the Golden Temple. Mata Temple is also an important temple where women wishing to become pregnant come and pray for baby. Apart from the old city, you will find internet cafés, nice hotels and eateries which will make your travel comfortable.
The best time to visit Amritsar is the monsoon season and the post- monsoon season which last from July to November. Amritsar weather during this period of the year becomes better than the extreme climates of the summer and winter months. This season also brings respite from the heat of the preceding months.

Many organisations depend on a strong cyber security system to protect their confidential data. However, cyber security alone isn't enough to keep your and your clients' data safe. Much more has to be done for data breach prevention. Not all security threats occur online. Here are three of the key vulnerable areas of any business that can be secured with the right physical security protocols in order to prevent data breaches.
When it comes to physical data such as documents, quotes, contracts and personal or client information, many organisations are aware of the confidential nature of the information yet implement insufficient safeguards for its disposal, thereby running the risk that it may be treated as regular rubbish. Of particular concern is that, once this data leaves the organisation's building, it is impossible to keep track of the documents to ensure that they have been properly disposed of. If the data falls into the wrong hands, the organisation has no way of knowing until it's too late. Besides security implications, companies also open themselves up to potential fines if personal or client information is disclosed to unauthorised parties.
A study found that most data breaches in 2016 could be traced back to some form of human error. In many cases, the employees did not intentionally leak data, but their negligence contributed to an accidental breach. Often this can be attributed to insufficient or infrequent training of staff on the latest security protocols. Not only do threats keep evolving, but employees tend to get complacent over time, especially if there are no new breaches. By conducting annual data handling training and refresher sessions with all staff accidental breaches caused by negligence can be minimised. Every employee plays an important role in the safekeeping of your organisation's data.
Training your employees will only get you so far. Security threats keep evolving and businesses need to keep abreast of the latest best practices. By implementing the right policies, employees will be armed with a proper system to follow in order to protect their organisation's and clients' data. For example, by implementing a Shred-it All policy, employees do not have to bear the burden of deciding which documents can be disposed of together with other waste materials and which should be shredded as they may contain confidential data. With policies such as this, the risk of a data breach is decreased.
By putting in place the right policies and ensuring that your staff is adequately trained on them, as well as being aware of how your data is processed and monitoring what happens to your physical data after it leaves your premises, you can protect your business and your clients from data breaches beyond the digital space. A good place to start is by implementing a Shred-it All Policy. Once documents are shredded, there is no worry about them ending up in the wrong hands. Consider shredding your documents as permanent physical encryption!


It is not hard to make the case that American healthcare is the best the world has ever seen. However, it is also easy to effectively argue that there is vast room for improvement. Paradoxically, the profession is falling significantly short of its theoretical potential. This does not negate the obvious advances made over the past century, but it is important to understand this reality because it is the source of much of the current criticism.
In 1977, Aaron Wildavsky, an American political scientist known for his work on public policy, published a book entitled "Doing Better and Feeling Worse: The Political Pathology of Health Policy." In the book, Wildavsky argued that the traditional belief that "medical care equals health"—the so called "Great Equation"—simply wasn't true. Most of the bad things that happen to people at present are beyond the reach of medicine. More available medical care does not equal better health.
One of the most-cited statistics in public health is the imbalance of social investments in medical care compared with prevention activities. Approximately 95 percent of the trillions of dollars we spend as a nation on health goes to direct medical care services, while just 5 percent is allocated to population-wide approaches to health improvement. However, some 40 percent of deaths are caused by behavior patterns that could be modified by preventive interventions as shown below. Genetics, social circumstances, and environmental exposure also contribute substantially to preventable illness. It appears, in fact, that a much smaller proportion of preventable mortality in the United States, perhaps 10 to 15 percent, could be avoided by better availability or quality of medical care. Thus, one could question a funding scheme that places so much emphasis on medical care rather than prevention.
use, diet, and exercise) and demonstrated that people who did well on all four compared to people who did poorly on all four accounted for a 14-year difference in life expectancy. Compare this to all of healthcare delivery accounting for approximately 3.5 to 7 years of additional life expectancy.
Doctors have little or no control over 90 percent of factors that determine health, from individual lifestyle (smoking, exercise, worry), to social conditions (income, eating habits, physiological inheritance), to physical environment (air and water quality). Most of the bad things that happen to people are at present beyond the reach of medicine.
Everyone knows that doctors do help patients. We can mend broken bones, cure most infections, and successfully operate on diseased organs. Inoculations, infections, and organ repairs are good reasons for having doctors, drugs, and hospitals available. More of the same, however, is likely counterproductive. Nobody needs unnecessary operations, and excessive use of drugs can create dependencies or adverse reactions resulting in patient harm.
More money for clinical care alone cannot advance health. In the absence of medical knowledge gained through new research, or of administrative and clinical knowledge to advance common practice into best practice, current medicine has gone as far as it can. It will not produce more if more money is applied, and one could argue that we should be advancing anyway, especially with the extensive expenditures that the U.S. already applies to clinical care and the well-defined levels of wasted resources that could be applied to advancing clinical care.
Spending on health is not necessarily bad. Would we rather spend our disposable income on a new car, a more powerful personal computer, or a TV instead? The problem is that healthcare spending as a percent of disposable income in the U.S. is growing much faster than disposable income itself is growing. This growth in healthcare spending is impacting other categories of spending — such as education and other socially beneficial programs. The argument is not that clinical care is bad, only that it is not good for everything. The marginal value of spending an additional dollar — or 1 billion dollars — on medical care is likely to be close to zero in terms of improving health.
A simple look at healthcare inflation demonstrates why this has caused policymakers to increasingly take a very hard look at healthcare costs in the United States. In 1960, per capita health costs in the U.S. were $146. In 2012, the per capita costs exceeded $8,000. While there has been a return on this societal investment, it has not been as great as one would want. In addition, as healthcare costs move beyond 20 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), it is becoming an increasing burden for both the public and private sector. The U.S. spends far more on health as a percent of GDP than other industrialized countries. This is making it hard for the U.S. to compete in an increasingly globalized economy.
First, we need to slow the rate of growth in spending on healthcare.
Second, we have to spend what we devote to healthcare more efficiently. That is, we need to realize greater value from the resources dedicated to clinical care.
Published studies indicate that the rate of waste in healthcare is somewhere between 30 and 50 percent. The causes of waste need to be eliminated. This is where aggressive, data-driven process improvement enters the picture. Experience at leading healthcare delivery organizations has clearly shown that clinician-driven performance improvement can improve outcomes, reduce harm, increase patient satisfaction, reduce waste, and save large sums of money. Such value-based performance improvement efforts can assure that waste is eliminated and health expenditures are more efficiently used.
In addition, new more efficient, patient-centric, and ambulatory based care delivery models need to be implemented. The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Medical Home is a clear example of this trend.
Technology and advanced data management will play a role in enabling these new care models. Several studies have shown that these technology enabled models of care can reduce the annual costs to manage some high-profile chronic diseases by up to 40 percent. Given that roughly two dozen chronic diseases account for almost 75 percent of U.S. health expenditures, these new models of care offer great potential to address healthcare inflation. They have also been shown to allow clinicians to manage more patients, which will help address a growing clinician shortage, especially of physicians and nurses.
It is time for a new equation. In a world of increasingly constrained resources, individual life cannot be the sole determination of how we allocate resources.

Infectious Diseases In The Female Patient PDF Download
Author: Rudolph P. Galask
In obstetrics and gynecology, as in other medical disciplines, great satisfaction comes from doing, but a greater satisfaction comes from knowing. The desire to know raises clinical practice to its highest level. This principle guided us in determining the objectives for this volume. Several standard textbooks of obstetrics and gynecology include information about infectious problems. Infectious Diseases in the Female Patient is unique in that it emphasizes primarily the basic science as pects of infections in obstetrics and gynecology. Although providing a practitioner's handbook was not our goal, the reader nevertheless will find discussions of the management of infections in the female pa tient. The continued growth of knowledge about infectious disease en countered in obstetrics and gynecology has come from many sources: bacteriology, virology, genetics, immunology, biochemistry, physiol ogy, and pharmacology. Insights from all these disciplines contribute to the conceptual framework of this volume. Many of the authors who contributed to this text are leaders in their respective areas of research and bring to the book a diversity of ex pertise and experience. Controversial issues are developed in a bal anced fashion, and, in most cases, opposing views are discussed. Since medical texts usually are read piece-meal rather than cover to cover, we have allowed some overlap between chapters. The slight degree of redundancy allows each chapter to stand on its own, so that the reader may obtain the necessary information from a single chapter.

The Role Of Viable But Non Infectious Developmental Forms In Chlamydial Biology PDF Download
Author: Robert V Schoborg
Publisher: Frontiers E-books
The chlamydiae are Gram-negative, obligate intracellular bacteria with a complex developmental cycle comprising a metabolically less-active, infectious stage, the elementary body (EB), and a metabolically more active stage, the reticulate body (RB). They are responsible for many acute and chronic diseases in humans and animals. In order to play a causative role in chronic diseases, chlamydiae would need to persist and to re-activate within infected cells/tissues for extended periods of time. Persistence in vitro is defined as viable but non-cultivable chlamydiae involving morphologically enlarged, aberrant, and nondividing RBs, termed aberrant bodies (AB). In vitro, alterations of the normal developmental cycle of chlamydiae can be induced by the addition of Interferon-? (IFN-?), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) and penicillin G exposure as well as amino acid or iron deprivation, monocyte infection and co-infection with viruses. In vivo, key questions include whether or not ABs occur in infected patients and animals and whether such ABs can contribute to prolonged, chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and scarring through continuing stimulation of the host immune system known from diseases such as trachoma, pelvic inflammatory disease, reactive arthritis and atherosclerosis. To date, the direct causal role in the pathogenesis of chlamydial infection and persistence in vivo has been questioned since there was no tractable animal model of chlamydial persistence so far. A very recent study was able to establish an experimental animal model of in vivo persistence, when C. muridarum vaginally-infected mice were gavaged with amoxicillin. Amoxicillin treatment induced C. muridarum to enter the persistent state in vivo. Recent in vivo data from patients indicate that viable but non-infectious developmental stages are present in the genital tract of chronically-infected women and that the gastrointestinal tract might be a reservoir for persistent chlamydial infections at other sites.
