Burza cytokin, hipercytokinemia, kaskady cytokin lub zespół wyrzutu cytokin (ang. cytokine storm, cytokine cascade, cytokine release syndrome) – potencjalnie śmiertelna, patologiczna reakcja immunologiczna związana z dodatnim sprzężeniem zwrotnym między cytokinami a komórkami odpornościowymi zawartymi we krwi prowadząca do niebezpiecznego podwyższenia poziomu innych cytokin, które z kolei  pobudzają pozostałą część układu odpornościowego do większego działania.

Objawy
Główne objawy burzy cytokin to: wysoka gorączka, obrzęk i zaczerwienienie, skrajne zmęczenie i nudności. W niektórych przypadkach reakcja immunologiczna może prowadzić do zgonu.

Etiopatogeneza
Gdy układ odpornościowy zwalcza patogeny, cytokiny sygnalizują i pobudzają komórki układu odpornościowego, takie jak limfocyty typu T i makrofagi do podróży do miejsca infekcji. Dodatkowo cytokiny znajdujące się w miejscu infekcji aktywują w komórkach mechanizm, pobudzający je do wytworzenia większej liczby cytokin. Normalnie organizm zachowuje tę pętlę sprzężenia zwrotnego w ryzach. Jednakże w niektórych przypadkach reakcja przebiega w niekontrolowany sposób poprzez aktywowanie innych komórek układu odpornościowego w jednym miejscu. Dokładna przyczyna nie jest w pełni zrozumiała, ale może być spowodowana przez przesadną reakcję, gdy układ odpornościowy napotyka nowego i wysoce patogennego najeźdźcę. Burze cytokin mogą prowadzić do znacznego uszkodzenia tkanek i narządów. Przykładowo w trakcie burzy cytokin w płucach mogą się gromadzić płyny wraz z komórkami układu odpornościowego takimi jak makrofagi. Taka sytuacja może doprowadzić do zablokowania dróg oddechowych, a w konsekwencji do śmierci.

Burza cytokin jest ogólnoustrojową odpowiedzią zdrowego układu odpornościowego prowadzącą do szybkiego uwalniania ponad 150 znanych mediatorów reakcji zapalnej (cytokiny, wolne rodniki tlenowe,  czynniki krzepnięcia). Cytokiny prozapalne (takie jak czynnik martwicy nowotworów alfa, interleukiny-1 i IL-6) i cytokiny przeciwzapalne (takie jak interleukina 10 i antagonisty receptora interleukiny 1) wykrywane są w podwyższonym poziomie w surowicy krwi u pacjentów z burzą cytokin.

Burza cytokin może wystąpić w przebiegu wielu chorobach zakaźnych i niezakaźnych. Na przykład:
 choroba przeszczep przeciw gospodarzowi (GVHD)
 zespół ostrej niewydolności oddechowej (ARDS)
 sepsa (posocznica)
 zespół hemofagocytowy
 zespół aktywacji makrofagów
 gorączka krwotoczna Ebola
 ptasia grypa
 ospę prawdziwą
 zespół ogólnoustrojowej reakcji zapalnej (SIRS)
 wyjątkowo po podaniu poniektórych leków (Lek eksperymentalny TGN1412 spowodował bardzo poważne objawy prawdopodobnie ze względu na burzę cytokin po podaniu go sześciu uczestnikom w I fazie prób klinicznych.)

Pierwsza wzmianka o wystąpieniu burzy cytokin została opublikowana w literaturze medycznej prawdopodobnie przez Ferrara et al. w 1993 roku.

Burza cytokin jako przyczyna zgonów w pandemiach
Uważa się, że burze cytokin były odpowiedzialne za dużą liczbę zgonów wśród chorych podczas pandemii grypy 1918, w której zmarło 50 do 100 milionów ludzi. Wstępne wyniki badań z Hongkongu wskazały to samo zjawisko jako prawdopodobną przyczynę wielu zgonów podczas epidemii SARS w 2003 roku. U ludzi śmiertelny przebieg choroby powodowanej przez wirusa ptasiej grypy H5N1 zazwyczaj również wiąże się z burzą cytokin.

Wysoka śmiertelność wśród chorych w epidemii grypy świń 2009 doprowadziło do spekulacji, iż burze cytokin mogą być odpowiedzialne za część tych zgonów, ponieważ świńska grypa pochodzi z tego samego szczepu grypy, który wywołał pandemię w 1918 roku. Jednakże, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) wykazało, że objawy chorobowe wywołane przez ten szczep są zbliżone do zwykłej sezonowej grypy, stwierdzając że "do tej pory nie ma wystarczających informacji  na temat powikłań klinicznych tego wariantu świńska-"origin" grypy A (H1N1) zakażenie wirusem", burze cytokin powiązano z hantawirusowym zespołem płucnym.

Leczenie

W leczeniu skutków, ograniczaniu i zapobieganiu burzom cytokin wykorzystywane są:

Only acadmic staff need the force review tool and not library/admin staff. Library staff edit numerous lists - we now have to start and complete reviews for our editing.
Default to preference when "create and add to list"
Lists are now presented in the order of the most recently worked on.
The "View Breakdown" figures should only cross-reference Books that appear on other lists.
It should not cross-reference resources that have been created as Chapters.
From an acquisitions perspective, books are treated very differently to chapters.
If only a chapter is needed, it can be scanned and the digitised reading provided to the students at a low cost.
If the entire book is needed, we will purchase the required number of copies.
The View Breakdown tool cross-references books that appear on other lists AND chapters (with the same 'parent' ISBN) – without making any visible distinction between the two. This means that the acquisitions team members are being prompted into buying additional copies of texts when they are not needed.
This diminishes the usefulness of the View Breakdown tool considerably.
If only cross-referencing Books is not technically possible, then the Material Type of the cross-referenced resource should be displayed in the View Breakdown figures.
The attached PDF shows examples of what I am talking about, and a suggested feature request for Reviews 2.
We have added Resource type(s) to the 'Student no.:' – 'View Breakdown' screen within Reviews as a consultancy request from London School of Economics. It was felt others may find this a useful addition so has been enabled for all tenancies.
At the moment, there is no distinction between editors and authors when you bookmark an item - both are labelled as "Author" in the initial metadata. If you edit the metadata to describe an editor as "Editor", that information no longer appears in the front screen list view. We would ideally like the bookmark button to be able to distinguish between the two when bookmarking (as MARC does with the 100/700 field distinction) and we would like Editors to appear in the front screen list view to improve the information available to students in support of good citation practices.
Editors now appear in the new list view when looking at an item and will display as 'Edited by' when they are present.
We'd like to be able to search by title in the Reports module, rather than having to export all to csv and search from there.
This would be particularly useful for us when ebook contracts end, so we can quickly and easily search which list(s) have those items.
We have introduced three new filters on the All List items report which should make it easier to search for and report on specific works, Title, ISBN-10 and ISBN-13.


One of the biggest struggles I here many talk about is maintaining the laundry. A family generates A LOT of laundry. It is actually kind of insane, but it is one of those things in life. After much research and trial of my own, I have collected several tips to help keep the laundry controlled (most days).
Laundry adds up fast. It can go from a load to a mountain in what seems like a matter of hours! Some days I truly swear it multiplies. When there is a problem, there is almost always a practical solution. So we begin to unfold our options…see what I did there. Unfold our options! A little laundry humor there.
Laundry Tip 1: Do a load every day to every other day depending on your laundry demands. It sounds like a lot, but it actually helps prevent that helpless, out of control, laundry mountain that takes a day or two to conquer. I recommend tossing in a load first thing in the morning, then switch after work or whenever makes sense in your day.
Laundry Tip 2: You really do not have to sort your laundry. I would sort if you have known laundry items that bleed or you have a new item. One option for this is to throw a Shout Color Catcher in the wash. Works like a charm!
Laundry Tip 3: Fold, hang, and put away right away. If you let it sit in the basket, likely it will continue to find friends, pile up, and add to certain anger in the morning when you cannot find underwear!
For some this becomes the stressor, the barrier to conquering your laundry. What are the solutions, so you make sure to execute this step every time?
You have a couple of solutions here. If you have capacity in your closets, I prefer to hang most of my clothes with exception of intimates, PJs, and athletic wear. If you do decide to go this route, you can keep a rack near the dryer. Make sure to have hangers waiting and ready on the rack for easy hanging. Hang all items and sort by individual. Easy way to grab and place in the closet. If you do not, it is still easily accessible.
As for the hangers, after you use a hanger, you can always place them in a small bin or basket in your closet. Grab these before you go down to switch around the laundry.
Another solution to laundry tip number 3 is to have separate baskets, labeled for each person. If you have the room invest in a small folding table with space for organization. If you happen to have or find a changing table, this is a great repurposed solution!
Each person can put away their belongings, depending on age. Young children like to help when they can. It makes them feel more independent and is great when training up your child to be a responsible adult.
You can easily label drawers or bins with words or pictures. This sets your children up for success.
Last option – fold, place in piles, and put away or have family members help.
Laundry Tip 4: Minimalize your wardrobe or towel collection. We have A LOT. Now, I do not follow the strict guidelines that some would use to describe minimalism. I would say that mine are more of being intentional about my purchases and what we own/need. If it does not fit in the drawers or closet, we need to pair down. If you bring something in, then something should go. Keeping a more minimal wardrobe can help reduce the amount of laundry to do.
Laundry Tip 5: If it is not dirty don't wash it. This sounds pretty obvious. BUT we wash a lot of things that may or may not actually need to be washed. So, let's discuss this a little bit.
Do you ever find that you change your PJs and your children's PJs every day? Are they really dirty? Decide if your family feels that you need or it is important to them, if a new set of PJs are needed. You can always wear a couple of nights in a row. Store PJs under your pillow for easy access the following night.
Towels. Does each person really need to wash each towel after every use? Could they be hung to dry for another use? If you have a large family or multiple family members using the same bathroom, try using hooks for each person. They can hang their towel on their hook for future uses!
Laundry should be a family project. Do not place it all on yourself. There are many tips and tricks to make the process easier. Remember for all changes you should expect about 21 to 30 days of consistent dedication to the new process to make the routine a habit. Once you do, you will find a little freedom from the helpless, mountain of out of control laundry!


Still not too many guests in hunting, mostly fishermen still(fishing has been excellent).
Morning temps have been cool, below freezing, and daytimes really warming up and quite sunny. We saw snow in the hills around the lake on Sat morning, but quickly burned off.
We've had guests harvest 6 mulie bucks this weekend, with a 4×3 being the largest one.


The new tram line will be the future infrastructure artery between the two cities of Oberhausen and Essen and will run through the area of former steel factory THYSSEN, now site of the future Science Park O'Vision.
The study proposes a partly elevated track providing access to the new development at different height levels. It will also go through the still existing building of the former steel production at 5 meter height level. By the design of track and stations the tram journey between the two cities will become a pleasant and unique experience.

Intel Outlook For Entire Year Clouded By Coronavirus Despite Increased Demand For Pcs In The Short Term
Citing the costs of development of a new PC chip, Intel Corp forecast that its second-quarter earnings will fall below the estimates of the Wall Street. The chip maker however said that it was not possible for it to make a forecast for the full year due to the huge uncertainties in the global economy because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The announcement cause Intel shares to drop by 6 per cent even as executives of the company tried to prepare investors about the potential of a short term gain resulting out of increased demand for chips and processes from cloud computing centers and increased demand for PCs as people stay back home amid the lockdowns could turn into a slump if there is a recession in the global economy as is being forecast by the likes of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
"It's really hard to think about the second half in terms of how demand is going to look compared to what we ultimately thought when we first gave guidance," Chief Financial Officer George Davis told investors on a conference call.
The semiconductor industry has been hit hard by the novel coronavirus pandemic because of disrupted operations due to lockdown orders in countries such as Malaysia which are important cogs in the global chip supply chain. Malaysia later allowed partial resumption of chip manufacturing but the industry there has also suffered supply chain disruptions.
Restrictions imposed by local governments in some cities and sites had forced the company to "temporarily pause" some projects, said Intel Chief Executive Bob Swan said, but also added that the production units of Intel have till now largely been able to meet demand.
There was higher demand for Intel's chips during the first quarter because of stay-at-home orders around the world, said Davis in an interview with Reuters. He also said that there was ab increase in demand for PCs.
He added that there was increased demand for data center chips "as people tried to make sure their infrastructure could match the requirements of having so many of their employees working remotely. And obviously with the cloud, there's much more activity on the cloud."
However, due to the costs of readying its "Tiger Lake" 10-nanonmeter processors for the PC market, Intel expects lower gross margins in the second quarter, Davis said. the company plans to start commercial sale of the chip by the third quarter of the current year. He said that this expected cost was instrumental in the company's profit forecast for the quarter going below of what the Wall Street was expecting.
Davis said that the margin for the full year will however not affected by the costs because the margins from the sale of the new chip will be high and the company will be able to make up some lost ground in the third quarter and because the cost of developing the chip has already been incurred by the company and been accounted for in the second quarter.
"Given the timing of when the product is releasing, it just has a very big impact in one quarter. That explains more than the difference with consensus on EPS," Davis said.
But Intel's ability to recoup the money it is investing in the Tiger Lake chips in the second quarter.

Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins dies at age 50 for unknown reasons. The band's statement read, "our hearts go out to his wife, children and family, and we ask that their privacy be treated with the utmost respect in this unimaginably difficult time." Friends, fans and colleagues remember and reflect on Hawkins's career.
The Foo Fighters drummer had THC, antidepressants, benzodiazepines and opioids in his system, according to Colombia officials who have not yet determined a cause of death.
Toxicological tests on the body of Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins preliminarily found 10 psychoactive substances and medicines, including marijuana and opioids, said the Colombia Prosecutor's Office. The statement did not provide a cause of death.
MRS. K Yeah but we should hold PHARMA more accountable to these death. You know, pressure our Congressman to penalize the pharmaceutical industry… More and more folks continue to die due to these opioid addictions and now their teenage sons are without a father.
Kat OM Life Let's be clear this is not a drug overdose where he was using to get high. This looks like someone trying to manage their anxiety, depression, and addiction. There are similarities but there are big differences too. May you be at peace now Taylor

Is the Southern Gas Corridor on Track?
By Jacob Keller
On September 21, 2016, the Global Energy Center hosted a panel on whether the Southern Gas Corridor is on track, as it is facing geopolitical and financial issues. Joe Murphy, Vice President of the Southern Corridor with BP, addressed that construction is underway in five countries and that the project is expected to be under-budget. Agnia Grigas, Nonresident Senior Fellow with the Atlantic Council's Dinu Patriciu Eurasia Center, highlighted the geopolitical threats, noting that Russia's planned Turkish Stream pipeline is competing against the Southern Corridor to deliver gas to southern Europe. Lastly, Daniel Stein, former Senior Advisor to the Special Envoy for Eurasian Energy and the Special Envoy and Coordinator for International Energy Affairs at the US Department of State, discussed the historical motivations of US and EU policy makers to diversify energy security in the region, citing that the Southern Corridor will finally diversify gas imports to south-eastern Europe. Richard Morningstar, Founding Director and Chairman of the Atlantic Council's Global Energy Center moderated the conversation, and the Global Energy Center's deputy director, Thomas Cunningham, made introductory remarks.

This project supports over 200 simulation tools deployed at nanoHUB.org. These tools are used for both education and research, and they enable simulations that can run in a few minutes or over several hours. The memory requirements can also vary widely, depending on the input parameters to the simulation.
While examining the BOINC job records we noticed that some jobs are failing with the exit code EXIT_ABORTED_VIA_GUI. If you have aborted a nanoHUB@Home job in your client, what was the reason?
In the same analysis we are working to improve the time and disk estimates for nanoHUB tools that produce WUs that fail often.
We are currently cleaning up a nanoHUB server (not the BOINC server) that was completely overwhelmed by the rate of WU consumption last week.


A user on the popular r/squaredcircle Reddit forum posted information about several new trademarks filed for a new promotion called All Elite Wrestling with its base address being the home of the NFL Jacksonville Jaguars.
There were a few rumors a month or so ago that the son of the owner of the Jaguars was going to launch a new promotion soon along with Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and would have the involvement of Chris Jericho and Jim Ross. Ross and Jericho immediately shot down the rumor once the original story, posted by SEScoops at the time, made it online.
Apart from All Elite Wrestling as a trademark, a bunch of others were filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office including All Out, Double or Nothing, Tuesday Night Dynamite, AEW, and several logos. All Out is obviously a take of All In and Double or Nothing is what the second All In show was suggested to be named.
All trademarks are currently live but pending since there is a lengthy process to assign a trademark. They were filed on November 5 by the law firm of Proskauer Rose LLP which is headquartered in New York. All trademarks filed refer to professional wrestling, live streaming, and merchandise.

West Ham's defensive restructure is set to continue and a significant departure is set to be approved at the end of the current season, according to Sport 24.
The Greek outlet states that Arthur Masuaku will be allowed to leave this summer after falling down the pecking order at the London Stadium, with Manuel Pellegrini keen on signing Olympiakos full-back Leonardo Koutris as his replacement.
West Ham were first linked with Koutris in November by The Daily Mirror, who suggested a £5m bid for the 24-year-old would be lodged in the mid-season window, but it now appears that Pellegrini has placed that move on the backburner for the time being.
Offloading Masuaku, who is on a reported £40k-a-week deal according to Spotrac, would raise funds for the Hammers to complete a move for Koutris, who was born in Brazil but made his international debut for Greece in November.
Masuaku has featured 15 times in the Premier League this season and is an important member of Pellegrini's squad but his defensive efforts have regularly been under scrutiny.

Tony Bennett at Seneca Niagara (2012)
There's something about watching 86-year-old Tony Bennett effortlessly croon his way through a career's worth of material that warms the cockles of the heart in a way that few entertainers can. He sashays across the stage flashing his million-dollar smile and forges an instantaneous connection with an audience seeking to recapture the magic of its youth.
The fact that he's duetted with everyone from Lady Gaga to Bono to the late Amy Winehouse is a testament to an endless supply of cool that enables him to stay relevant in an industry that prioritizes youth more and more every day. His onstage demeanor is one of a seasoned artist who has seen it all and outlasted whatever shifts in societal taste have threatened to put his style of music on the backburner.
When he walked out onto the stage inside the Seneca Niagara Events Center on Friday night, he was greeted by a standing ovation without even saying a word, which tells a great deal about the level of respect he's attained since scoring first hit song back in 1951.
Backed by a stellar jazz band, Bennett sang his ass off on one classic after another without displaying a hint of fatigue. "They All Laughed," "Sing You Sinners," and "Steppin' Out With My Baby" sizzled all the way out into the gaming area as Tony's voice appeared to get stronger as the evening went on.
He devoured the high notes on "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and "I Got Rhythm," while executing just the right touch of compassion on "The Way You Look Tonight" and "I Left My Heart in San Francisco."
I had many people questioning why I chose to review Tony Bennett as opposed to my usual rock fare, but the reasons were evident only to those able to see past the sea of gray hair and recognize greatness when it's in front of them. He's the epitome of professionalism, because he carries himself with an air of appreciation for everything that life has given him.
Sure, he's performed everywhere and with everyone, but listening to him talk about how Bob Hope gave him his name gives the impression that he's still the same hungry kid from Queens eager to give his best on a nightly basis.
In a world riddled with fakes, Tony Bennett earned his stripes the old-fashioned way by working his way up from the bottom and not settling for anything less than perfection. When you take into account that he also served on the front line during World War II and participated in the liberation of a Nazi concentration camp, his status as a living legend grows exponentially.
He wrapped up his set with "Who Cares," "Smile," and an encore of "When You're Smiling," which never ceases to get people up and clapping. Although he shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon, I consider myself fortunate to have caught him before the realities of aging come knocking.
I noticed some empty seats while scanning the room shortly after the show began, but, if word of mouth prevails, that shouldn't be a problem next time around.

A gorgeous display of creamy white and purple blooms.
Masses of cream and purple blooms for 5 months.
Attracts butterflies and other insects to your garden.
Easy to grow and maintain - no fiddly pruning.
Supplied as an established plant in a 7cm pot.
Clematis sieboldii 'Florida' will fill your garden with a riot of glorious double blooms from June to October - 5 months of fabulous flower power every year!
The large flowers are highlighted with a flush of minty green and carry a central cushion of fluffy petals, making them a really exotic addition to your garden.
A sun lover, this double-flowered beauty enjoys a sheltered spot in the garden and will be covered in creamy white blooms with a purple centre - sometimes reverting to the occasional all-cream flower so the plant looks even more striking.
Plus, as they're relatively compact, growing to just 6-8 ft, they're ideal for growing in a favourite container to make a stunning feature on your decking or patio.
Supplied as an established plant in a 7cm pot ready to be planted out or potted on.
Plant with the crown of the plant 5-8cm deep to encourage new shoots to grow from below ground level.Clematis like a cool 'root run' so try and plant so that the roots are shaded. If you are planting in a sunny position, place some pieces of slate or flat stones on the soil after planting or use groundcover plants to keep the roots cool.
Feed in spring with a general-purpose feed, avoiding the stems. Mulch immediately afterwards with organic matter such as well-rotted manure, leafmould or garden compost.
Pruning is a case of a simple tidy up - in late winter/early spring simply reduce all stems down to 6' (15cm) of soil level. However, please check the detailed advice on each variety as some differ slightly.

Jack Ashton Wiki: Age, Birthday, Height, Partner, Relationship, Family
Published On: 16 May, 2018
Girlfriend/Dating
Helen (Partner)
Wren (Daughter)
5 Feet 7 Inches (1.70 m)
Jack Ashton rose in the entertainment industry from TV series Silent Witness where he portrayed a role of James Fetherston. Jack, a British actor, is best known for his role as Rev. Tom Hereward in BBC TV series, Call The Midwife. The actor who is remembered for the TV-miniseries Four Seasons has played the role of Martin.
Jack With A New-Born Tad! Who Is He Dating?
Jack is in a relationship with his on-screen co-star and American actress Helen George. The duo who were in South Africa at their first meeting was on the shot of TV series Call the Midwife. They began to develop a romance after their confrontation, and in April 2016, they started dating.
Jack also enjoyed his romantic break with his partner, Helen while in South Africa. They went to Lion's Head, a mountain in Cape Town, South Africa and even visited Robben Island in Table Bay. The couple who fell in love in South Africa had a romantic bonding during their journey spending quality time together. Helen posted a series of snapshots on her social media Instagram.
After dating for a while in September 2017, his partner Helen surprised the media and her fans on TV Choice Awards when she revealed she was expecting a baby with Jack. Further, on 17 September 2017, she shared her pregnant photo on Instagram. Her followers congratulated both the couples for their kid and their commencement of a journey towards parenthood.
On 2 October 2017, Helen posted a series of the photo where the duo celebrated their baby shower inviting their close friends and family. Among those pictures, Jack was seen being emotional holding carefully their baby on his hands. For the lovebirds, Jack and Helen were visibly excited and happy on the baby shower.

The fans noticed Helen's diamond ring on her finger and were convinced that she was engaged to Jack. They praised the duo for their newborn tad, and few of them even asked if they were enjoying their espoused life. However, Helen's friend stepped up to Dailymail and denied the engagement and said that her diamond ring only fitted on her ring finger.
After five days of the celebration of their newborn daughter, Helen announced the name of the baby which she and Jack picked. She posted their cute little tad's photo and revealed the baby girl's name as Wren Ivy on 7 October 2017.

Dassault Systèmes, the 3DEXPERIENCE Company, world leader in 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, has announced the launch of the 3DVIA Make application to enable retailers to offer customer-personalised products without requiring a huge back-end inventory or a lengthy fulfillment process. Retailers can now capture mass personalization opportunities for consumer products with flexibility that benefits the customer, retailer and brand.
Using 3DVIA Make, products can be extensively personalized to the desire of each individual customer from within the retailers' or brands' website. Orders are then fulfilled on-demand by a 3D printing service or local bureau, reducing the need to stock a wide variety of products. For example, a customer can visit a retailer website or e-store and create a personalized product by selecting from a wide variety of materials, colors, shapes and designs. The customer can see the selected product from a 360-degree viewing angle before deciding to purchase. A personalized, one-of-a-kind product can then be printed using a 3D printer and sent to the consumer within a few days of the order.
Powered by Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform, the 3DVIA Make application's initial focus will be on jewelry, toys and accessories and the application is currently available to select vendors. The product has minimal upfront costs and is based on a revenue sharing model determined by transactions.

Bursting with special effects, the made-for-television film comes as the sequel to the hit 2003 TV miniseries 10.5. Also starring Kim Delaney and once again directed by John Lafia, 10.5 APOCALPSE begins with a 10.5-grade earthquake ripping apart the West Coast. But for a team of researchers, government officials, and scientists (played by an all-star cast that includes Beau Bridges, Dean Cain, and Frank Langella), the trouble is just beginning.


I had mixed feelings, on one hand I found the view beautiful but on the other hand I thought that I'd miss my traditional weekly long run session. After a breakfast (watching Lance Armstrong's interview with Oprah), I started thinking about whether or not I should do that run. I started searching on Twitter for the hashtag #courir (french word for running) and found lot of not so motivating tweet about people heading back to bed after seeing all that snow falling. Then I remembered that I had a half-marathon to run in no less than 41 days and figured I should give a try to running in the snow (yeah,call me noob if you want, I have never done that before).
Wonderfully! First of all, it wasn't possible to slip on the ground as the snow was still very solid at that time. Also, as you can see I was running at a very very slow pace (avg 65% of my maximum heat rate). Of course it was mostly voluntary as I planned to do a long slow distance run. But obviously, there was additional friction.
You have the freedom to run almost anywhere you want (less cars, almost no bicycles at all…).
Your legs work harder than usual so it helps strengthen your muscles more than usual.
It teaches you how to stabilize yourself when running.
Anyways, I now feel that nothing (not even snow) can get in the way of my half-marathon preparation, I am really committed to run it under 1h50 (which is quite challenging given my current level).
As a final note, I would like to thank each one of you who already donated to the charity I am supporting (a charity that fights against Lysosomal Storage Disease) which covers many rare genetic diseases), it really means a lot to me and it gives me the courage to step outside,whatever the climatic conditions are!
For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, the only way for me to run the half-marathon of Paris is to collect some amount of money for a charity. This page explains it all! If you are willing to donate to the charity, remember that if you live in France you can deduce 60% of that donation off your taxes. Otherwise, you can read more about Lysosomal Diseases and understand why it's important to donate even the smallest amount to the charity.
Although I didn't this last weekend (heel injury, jeopardizing the semi for me….) I love running in the snow. And running in the snow by a sunny day is even beter !
Definitely agree with you. Those who postpone their training because of the snow either don't know what they are talking about or they could be just looking for an excuse to stay home… Anyway, sorry to hear about your heel injury. If it happens to heal will you run it?
Ici au Québec, je cours dans la neige plusieurs mois par année pour la préparation de mon marathon annuel. J'apprécie toujours ces courses dans les rues enneigées. Dommage pour vous, que la neige fonde si rapidement la région de Paris ;).

Pregnancy After Rape: Myths Versus Facts
Maternal Health, Mental Health
Christopher Iliades 3 years ago No Comments
There is no doubt that some women become pregnant after being raped. After that fact, other facts become distorted by political motives, religious beliefs, and culture wars. How is rape defined? How common is pregnancy after rape? What choices do women make about the pregnancy? The answers are out there, and they may surprise you.
Myth: Pregnancy from a rape is very rare.
This myth is common among political and religious conservatives. Publications from the U.S. National Right to Life Committee have claimed that the act of rape causes changes in a woman's mental and hormonal system that miraculously rejects pregnancy. Therefore, they say we do not need rape exception clauses in abortion restriction laws. Politicians who want to restrict access to abortions have continued to use the argument that violent sexual intercourse is unlikely to result in pregnancy.
Here is the fact: For a woman who is fertile and not on some form of birth control, the chances of getting pregnant from rape are no different from any other act of sexual intercourse. According to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, a single act of rape carries a pregnancy risk of about 5 percent, which is about the same as an act of consensual sex. According to the CDC, more than 32,000 rapes in the U.S. result in pregnancy every year.
Myth: Women who are pregnant from a rape have to agonize over how the mental and physical health of their attacker might affect their baby.
One reason why a woman may want an abortion after rape is that the predator may have unknown health risks or mental health problems that may affect the baby. The fact is that less than 5 percent of rapes are committed by a stranger. Most rapists are someone the woman has had a relationship with or knows well. The highest rate of rape-related pregnancy is reported by women in abusive relationships.
Myth: Most women who are pregnant from rape choose to have an abortion.
The myth is that because rape is such a traumatic event, most women will reject their pregnancy and chose abortion. It is certainly true that the long-term social and psychological effects of rape are traumatic. They may include relationship problems, isolation from family and community, depression, anxiety, loss of self-esteem, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Despite the social and psychological trauma, and despite the facts that about 40 percent of women report being urged to have an abortion by health care providers or a family member, the fact is that most women choose not to have an abortion. Studies show that between 50 and 80 percent of women choose birth over abortion. About 6 percent of women who have the baby give it up for adoption.
Women may choose to have the baby because they believe that abortion is always wrong. They may feel that the baby is innocent and reject the belief that the baby is tainted in some way, especially if they were in a relationship with the father. Fewer than 1 percent of abortions in America are done because of rape or incest.
According to the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, a single act of rape carries a pregnancy risk of about 5 percent, which is about the same as an act of consensual sex. According to the CDC, more than 32,000 rapes in the U.S. result in pregnancy every year.
Myth: Women who are pregnant from rape can count on support from society.
Sadly, this is not always the case. If a woman on Medicaid wants to have an abortion, she may be blocked by her state legislature. In 1977, the Hyde Amendment was passed to forbid federal funds to pay for abortions, but they did put in an exception for rape. This exception has been under assault by conservative states. In 2018, 18 states no longer consider rape as an exception, and more states are trying to pass laws that limit a woman's access to abortion after rape.
In the 1970s, the term "rape culture" was first used to explain the tendency in America to trivialize rape and blame the victim. Rape culture may still be alive and well in some parts of America. In 2015, in response to the claim of Donald Trumps ex-wife that he emotionally raped her, Trump's attorney Michael Cohen said there was no such thing as a man raping his wife.
All you have to do is turn on the news to know that war against rape culture is not over. Despite the fact that the Supreme Court of California upheld that pregnancy from rape constitutes bodily injury, women are still being blamed and stigmatized for being victims of sexual abuse.
When the state legislature of Pennsylvania changed their law to say they would only cover abortion for rape if the rape were reported to law-enforcement authorities, the rate of publicly funded abortion dropped from 35 per month to 3. In America today, close to 70 percent of sexual assaults are never reported. The fact is, women in America can't rely on legal or social support if they become pregnant from rape.

India's Drone Rules 2021 set to help startups, innovation take flight, Amber Dubey, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Civil Aviation, tells YourStory
The Ministry of Civil Aviation approved the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for drones and drone components, allocating a sum of Rs 120 crores on September 30. Earlier, the ministry announced the Drone Rules 2021 on August 25, 2021.
In an exclusive interaction with YourStory Founder and CEO Shradha Sharma, Amber Dubey, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Civil Aviation, shares how this scheme will help Indian drone startups deal with the challenges in the sector across areas such as funding, clarity of vision, policies and regulations.
The ministry managed to get the PLI clearance within three weeks, setting a record of sorts, as typically a PLI scheme has to go through several rounds of consideration before it can be approved.
"Within three weeks, we managed to get the clearance for the PLI scheme, which itself is a record of some kind because normally most PLI schemes take eight to nine months as they go through several layers of approval. This also shows the importance that…

Q: R Leaflet Legend: colorBin- removing decimals in between breaks I am creating an interactive HTML map in R using the Leaflet library.
The legend employs the colorBin method for creating the 6 categories to break the data into.
Using the min(values) and max(values), I have defined the domain of the possible values a particular tract of Amercian Community Survey income data might fall into. However, the break points are not pleasing, as you can see from the attached image.
It looks like this
$8,8820.0- 17,708.5
$17,708.5- 26,535.0

instead of a sane version like this:
$8,8820 - 17,708
$17,809 - 26,536

or
$8,8820.00 - 17,708.00
$17,809.00 - 26,536.00

I would  accept it if there HAD to be .00 on each one, just not one decimal place for a dollar amount!
I cannot find a way to format the increments to do away with a silly single decimal...
Here is the code for the palette:
pal3<-colorBin(palette="YlOrBr", domain=c(min(plotMerge$incomePerCapita), max(plotMerge$incomePerCapita)), bins = 6, na.color = NULL, pretty=FALSE, alpha = TRUE)

And here is the function for the legend:
addLegend(pal = pal3,
        values  = plotMerge$incomePerCapita,
        position = "bottomright",
        title = "Income per Capita<br> in 2014 US Dollars ",
        labFormat = labelFormat(prefix="$"))

Just in case this is part of the problem, here is the attribute assigning color to the polygons based on income which applies the palette to the map itself.
fillColor = ~pal3(plotMerge$incomePerCapita),

as far as I can tell the tracts and related data are correct, so I am not particularly worried about the plotting of the map itself. But I want the Legend to look sane and not have one decimal place that overlaps.
I have SCOURED the R boards reading everything about leaflet in here and elsewhere. I cannot see what I need to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: You may be able use: labelFormat(prefix="$", digits=0)).
Here is the link to the GitHub code for leaftet: github.com/rstudio/leaflet/blob/master/R/legend.R.
Here is the function prototype with all of the possible options:
labelFormat = function(
      prefix = '', suffix = '', between = ' – ', digits = 3, big.mark = ',',
      transform = identity)

From this you should be able to tweak the format to your liking.

Brown Girl Dreaming pretty much cleaned up on awards this year, and for good reason. In addition to the Coretta Scott King Medal, it earned the National Book Award, a Newbery Honor Award, and a Sibert Honor Award. Read my review of this beautiful novel here.
Reynolds' lively and engaging portrayal of urban teenage boys is a compelling story about neighborhood, family, friendship, values and the acceptance of difference. Living in an underserved neighborhood in Brooklyn, Allen/Ali befriends Noodles and his brother Needles, who has Tourette Syndrome. In an authentic contemporary voice, Reynolds focuses on the importance of family, the acceptance of responsibility and the obligations of friendship and portrays a likeable teenager learning how to be a good man.

In this intricately plotted book, Fing's loving but fractious family moves into a new house outside of town and gradually discovers a "tragical tragedy" concerning the mysterious man living in the hedge.

Readers will be enchanted by the indelibly drawn characters, the rich language and the interwoven narrative.
I'm so excited to see My Grandfather's Coat win this medal! It was one of my favorite picture books published last year, and you can read why here.

It's our "Pihu" the "African Grey Parrot"who is with us since he was just a 3 month old baby 👶 bird only with his full feathers yet to come.
I was just interacting with another Grey Parrot owner here in "wordpress" and a beautiful emotional stuff came to my mind which I am sharing…..
I was leaving my home 🏡 for a short trip for four days only and as usual before i left for the airport i was telling Pihu all about my trip and i was sure he understood my plans as he bowed before me to make me scratch his head as i usually do when i reach home from office all the time.
I was so curious to know how Pihu was enjoying his new Travel cage and last night as i enquired from my wife about all this she told Pihu was shouting "Mitu"….."Mitu" (for him i am his Mitu) a lot of times during day but as wife responds him with "hi or hello" he was'nt giving his usual "kissing sound" in return which he gives me anytime i respond to his call "Mitu"…."Mitu".
Love returns with a word……. Mitu….
What a handsome fella he is.

Corruption Charges against Three South Florida Mayors Brings One Guilty Plea
November 13, 2013 | Michael B. Cohen, P.A.
According to the Department of Justice, Florida led the nation with a staggering 781 convictions of public officials between the years 2000 and 2010. In the second decade of this century, the trend continues. A current example shows that between September and October of this year, three more local politicians were added to the list of those willing to let down their constituents by breaking the law.
In late August, the mayor of Homestead was arrested and accused of using his elected office to secure a secret consulting job as well as accepting a bribe from Community Health Care of South Florida Inc. The health care company was looking to build a clinic in the area according to the state attorney's office for Miami-Dade. On Nov 1, further charges were filed against him when he was charged with seven election law violations. Former Mayor Steven Bateman, 58, was accused of misusing campaign funds according to state attorney spokesperson Terry Chavez. He pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released without bond.
Earlier that month, two other mayors of South Florida cities were charged by the government in ongoing corruption investigations. Florida Governor Rick Scott suspended all three of the mayors pending outcome of their criminal cases.
Michael A. Pizzi, 51, the mayor of Miami Lakes, and Manuel L. Maroño, 41, the mayor of Sweetwater and current president of the Florida League of Cities, were charged in two unrelated complaints concerning public corruption allegations along with two lobbyists of which one was connected to both of the mayors. The United States attorney's office has accused them of involvement in bribery and kickback schemes relating to federal grants. The two lobbyists, Jorge L. Forte, 41, and Richard F. Candia, 49 both of Miami were named in the Maroño case and Candia was also named as part of the complaint involving Pizzi.
Ironically, the Florida League of Cities displays a June 8, 2012 article on their website that leads to a story about a newly formed advocacy group called Integrity Florida; "a nonprofit, nonpartisan group" that released a report showing that Florida led the nation in federal public corruption convictions through the years referenced above.
Carla Miller, an ethics officer and a former federal prosecutor stated "We bought the trifecta… It's bad when three mayors get led out in handcuffs. What's left of the public trust gets ground into little pieces."
On November 13, former mayor Maroño and lobbyist Jorge L. Forte both pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud for their involvement in a plan to individually benefit through the use of the station of the mayor of Sweetwater which was held by Maroño. They were originally charged by way of Information with one count of conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud on October 17.
Forte and Maroño both face a maximum statutory sentence of 5-years of incarceration under the terms of the agreement. Sentencing is scheduled for January 23, 2014 and will be imposed by US District Judge William J. Zloch.
The guilty pleas were announced in a press release by Wifredo A. Ferrer, US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, and Michael B. Steinbach, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Miami Field Office Investigations.
In what may be the most interesting of the three cases, Michael Pizzi, the suspended Miami Lakes Mayor pleaded not guilty in late-October to the indictment that charged him with pursuing kickbacks that prosecutors' state was intended to enrich him in exchange for backing federal grant applications in the latest allegations against him.
South Miami-Dade lobbyist Michael Kesti first approached the FBI in 2011 informing them of his suspicions that Candia was in league with corrupt politicians in South Florida.
Before this latest indictment was filed, an undercover investigation was instituted by detectives of the Miami-Dade Police, established on purported threats that Pizzi expressed to a confidential informant working for that police agency.
In a conversation covertly recorded, Pizzi clearly stated that he wanted to "take out" a Miami Lakes town councilman who was apparently a rival, by the method of either rigging the brakes of his vehicle or planting cocaine in his car. The probe was dropped by police after a substantial amount of time had passed and no action was taken that supported the statements. The "then" mayor called his remarks in the recording as no more than "silly, ridiculous drinking talk."
The current indictment, filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared Dwyer, depicts Pizzi as a politician who had knowledge that the purported federal grant scheme was a "money grab."
In the latest criminal complaint, Pizzi was accused of an extortion plot along with lobbyist Richard Candia who was accused of the same offense, as mentioned above with Manny Maroño and lobbyist Jorge Forte.
They were accused of participating in what has been termed a "bogus" grant scheme planned to net the participants thousands of dollars, whereas their cities would receive nothing. Posing as businessmen from Chicago, an FBI anti-corruption team coordinated the sting. The agents stated that they would obtain the grant money with the intention of performing an economic development study. The proceeds would then be split between the four of them.
The indictment charges that Pizzi collected $6,000 in total cash, received in three payments. He also is alleged to have received an additional $750 paid by checks for his 2012 reelection campaign. These payments were allegedly in return for advocating resolutions that simplified the establishment for grant applications in Medley and Miami Lakes.
Pizzi has unequivocally denied accepting any cash as charged. Subsequent to his arrest, he said that he "accepted no money inappropriately or illegally from anyone, ever." in a prepared statement.

The term political corruption may be defined as elected officials accepting bribes, receiving kickbacks taking part in extortion, cronyism, nepotism, and conflicts of interest as well as other questionable behavior by those elected to office to serve the public. Corruption has troubled American politics since the time the country was settled by the Europeans. It's a threat to good government authority and democracy as a whole. Its effects undermine democratic values and its legitimacy. The issue of fighting political corruption was a major concern of the federal Constitution dating back to 1787.

You may recall that I've already reviewed Luke's Lobster (twice, to be exact). However, I didn't try the crab roll last time around. It is, in a word, outstanding.
My dining partner asked, "Which do you like better: lobster roll or crab roll?" "They're equally good," I replied. Next time you intend to go to Luke's, bring a friend and split a crab roll in addition to your lobster Schooner.
Must try the crab roll next time!!!
it is to die for! you won't be sorry. let's split one next time we go.

Мария Каролина Шарлота София фон Ингенхайм (; * 2 август 1704, Ванфрид; † 27 май 1749,Мюнхен) е фрайин (баронеса) от Ингенхайм, фаворитка, метреса на по-късния курфюрст и император Карл VII Баварски.

Живот
Дъщеря е на фрайхер Даниел фон Ингенхайм (* 28 март 1666, Мец; † 22 януари 1723,Ерфурт) и съпругата му ландграфиня Мария Анна Йохана Луиза фон Хесен-Рейнфелс-Ротенбург-Ванфрид (* 8 януари 1685, Ванфрид; † 11 юни 1764, Ерфурт), дъщеря на ландграф Карл фон Хесен-Ванфрид (1649 – 1711) и графиня Александрина Юлиана фон Лайнинген-Дагсбург-Фалкенбург-Хайдесхайм (1651 – 1703). Нейните чичовци по майчина линия са ландграф Христиан фон Хесен-Ванфрид-Рейнфелс, княз Доминик Марквард фон Льовенщайн-Вертхайм-Рошфор и княз Ференц II Ракоци.

Баща ѝ е хугенот от Мец, който бяга в Германия и става щалмайстер на ландграф Карл фон Хесен-Ванфрид. Издигнат е на фрайхер, става католик и се жени за неговата дъщеря (майка ѝ).

Мария Каролина Шарлота отива през 1719 г. като придворна дама в Мюнхен. Нейният брат Карл Вилхелм е още от 1717 г. паж в двора в Мюнхен. Там се запознава с младия наследствен принц на Бавария Карл VII Албрехт (1726 – 1745), който става курфюрст на Бавария и император на Свещената Римска империя (1742 – 1745). Тя става бързо негова фаворитка и през 1720 ражда дъщеря им Мария Йозефа Каролина. За техния син Франц Лудвиг курфюрстът и по-късен император купува на 13 януари 1735 г. палат Холнщайн в Мюнхен, днес архиепископски палат Мюнхен. Неговият син граф Максимилиан Йозеф (1760 – 1838), шатхалтер на Горен Пфалц, се жени през 1784 г. за Каролина фон Бретценхайм (1768 – 1786), незаконна дъщеря на курфюст Карл Теодор фон Пфалц и Бавария.

На 1 октомври 1723 г., със съгласието на Карл Албрехт, Мария Каролина Шарлота се омъжва за курфюрсткия камерхер и по-късен главен кухненски майстор и бъдещ фелдмаршал-лейтенант, италианския граф Хиронимус фон Шпрети (* 6 април 1695, Равена; † 25 април 1772, Мюнхен). След три дена се ражда нейния син Франц Лудвиг от Карл Албрехт. С граф Хиронимус фон Шпрети е омъжена 26 години и ражда 14 деца.

Мария Каролина Шарлота умира на 27 май 1749 г. на 44 години в Мюнхен. Тя и нейният съпруг Хиронимус фон Шпрети са погребани във францисканския манастир "Св. Антониус "в Мюнхен. Там днес се намира баварския национален театър.

След нейната ранна смърт Хиеронимус фон Шпрети се жени за вдовицата графиня Мария Анна фон Верита род. Бекария и 1759 г. за фрайин Антония фон Годер.

Деца
От Карл VII Баварски има две деца:

 Мария Йозефа Каролина (1720 – 1818), графиня фон Хоенфелс де Бавария (comtesse de Hochenfels de Bavière), омъжена 1736 г. за военачалника и полубрат на нейния баща, граф Емануел-Франсоа-Йозеф Баварски (1695 – 1747).
 Франц Лудвиг фон Холнщайн (* 4 октомври 1723; † 22 май 1780), издигнат на граф, основател на рода на Графовете фон Холнщайн от Бавария, женен 1757 г. в Бон за графиня Анна Мария фон Льовенфелд (+ 26 ноември 1783), незаконна дъщеря на кьолнския курфюрст-архиепископ Клеменс Август Баварски (1700 – 1761) и Мехтхилд Брион.

От Хиронимус фон Шпрети има 14 деца, от които порастват:

Мария Йозефа (1731 – 1778), монахиня в Айхщет
 Зигизмунд (1732 – 1809)

This monthly Iranian casualty figure during the Syrian conflict would actually be considered light when compared to American figures during the Iraq War, where American ground troops were actively engaged in counter-insurgency operations.
Not that I'm in any way minimizing casualties experienced by either American or Iranian military forces, nor am I in any way comparing the combat capabilities of the two respective armed forces. It's just that so much is being made of the Iranian casualty figures, particularly in the Western press, that a sense of perspective should be provided, IMO.
The Iranian military says it has only advisory role in Syria and it's not involved in combat mission. In October, the Iranian casualties spiked to 32, exponentially higher than its monthly casualties during its previous 4.5 years of military involvement in Syria. That's significant news.
Iraq War was a combat mission and not comparable to Iran's advisory role in Syria, that's why 32 Iranian KIAs in one month is so huge. You can of course argue that these high casualties are manifestation of a change in Iran's role from advisory to direct ground operation, which is also as newsworthy. That's the perspective that needs to be provided, IMO.
I don't know how big is a Iranian battalion but let's say it's 500 troops, 30 to 34 losses is 6 to 7%, that's not insignificant. If Iran sustains that level for a few months, you have a significant loss in leadership and probably start having a moral problem.
