'Anyone watch Red Dwarf?' Chris Barrie asked his polite St Albans audience. The reply - an affirmative whoop - was the most enthusiastic response he received all evening, thanks largely to his material, which scraped the comedy barrel with jokes aimed at David Beckham, the royal wedding and even - snore - Glen Hoddle.
Barrie and Lovett are best known for their roles in BBC's sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf. Like fellow Dwarf Craig Charles, the pair are touring on the back of the show's huge popularity Barrie hasn't done stand-up for five years, and it shows. He apologised for not knowing his material better. But it's the jokes that need excusing.
Squeezed in between variously crude, racist and sexist gags, Barrie, who once lent his voice to Spitting Image, displayed passable mimicry in what amounted to a gallery of impressions.
The Northern Ireland peace talks gave rise to a Mo Mowlam effort and a selection of Irish accents, and he had Roger Moore coaching Beckham in the art of enunciation. But the biggest laugh came when he turned his powers of imitation on his fellow comedian.
It was a relief to see the real Lovett amble on stage. A weathered stand-up, his bumbling stream of consciousness is the kind that made everyone fall in love with Eddie Izzard. 'Now the show really gets going,' Lovett quipped.
Much of his material was as fatuous as Barrie's, but his knowing delivery always guaranteed him a laugh. No subject's too small - a trapdoor on the stage proved profitable - or too obscure: he got a clap just from opening and shutting the stage curtains.
Lovett's someone you'd happily listen to in your local. Endearing and predictably funny, but not worth sitting through Barrie's clangers for.
Chris Barrie and Norman Lovett play Royton Hall, Oldham (0161-911 4072), tomorrow; Loughborough Town Hall (01509 231914) on Saturday; Bedford Corn Exchange (01234 269519) on Sunday.

Vandals at the Knob
Scutchamer's Knob, has always been a a glowing belisha beacon on the beautiful Berkshire downs for rave parties and illicit camping trips - especially during the early '90's. Largely helped by its ease of accessability but yet fairly remote location... continues...

I have a special place in my heart for scutchamer.. I join the ridgeway at east ilsley where it crosses the A34, so this is the first antiquity I reach. Only another 45 or so miles to Avebury!!
It's definitely a mysterious place, the first time I did the ridgeway there was a gigantic bonfire burning there. Shame about the rubbish though and as for those trees.. too many knobs at scutchamer I reckon!!

Just visited the 'Knob' this spring (2005) and have seen new changes. There is now a fence around the base of the knob and there has been some clearing of the scrub and trees on top. Guess I kind of liked it better before!

This is one of the saddest sites I have visited. Hidden in a small wooded area is the Knob, which I believe used to be a small artificial hill/chamber. This has collapsed in the middle and one edge has been worn away to leave a horseshoe shapped mound.
Sickeningly the remains of Scutchamer Knob have been used by off road motorcyclists for scrambling and the area is littered with plastic bags and bottles.

Just a quickie, I visit this place often and it is in a break of trees on the Ridgeway path. It is much worn down and used by trials bikes and mountain bikes for practice (shame!). There is a fair amount of rubbish at this site from campers who don't pick up the litter (shame again!).
The original shape has long gone and as the centre has collapsed, it resembles more of a dougnut with a hole in one side, than a conical mound (which it once was). All traces of the ditch which once must of surrounded it are also gone. It is still quite a height (20 feet or so tall) and offers a good view out on one side. Try to imagine the original construct and the fact that the trees would not have been there. It sits atop the crest of a hill and would have offered an excellent view of the surrounding countryside.
It is a very large mound, and although it resembles a large barrow (or a mini silbury hill depending on your presuasion), I have found no evdience to support its prehistoric antiquity. All references to Scutchamer Knob are in the early Anglo-Saxon period (400-600 AD).
A pleasant and historically important site (see the folklore), but also a very busy one as the Ridgeway is well used (especially at weekends) and adjacent to the site.

For the most part, this venerable way is deserted save for an occasional shepherd or a solitary farm labourer returning home from work. Silent and lonely, it pursues its course over height and into hollow: now stretching away in a generous curve sharply defined by a bank on either side, now scarcely to be distinguished from the surounding turf.
At intervals are earthworks that guard it and barrows that keep watch. Round one of the latter, familiarly called the "Knob," not a few curious legends have gathered. Some distance below the old road there runs, also from east to west, a military ditch and vallum, and the story goes that the devil, having a fancy to turn ploughman, cleft this mighty furrow along the hillside. When he arrived opposite the spot where the barrow now stands, his ploughshare became clogged; he halted to clean it, and the soil which he scraped off he tossed over the Ridgeway in a heap to be known henceforth as the Knob. There is a lavishness about this proceeding which can only be properly appreciated by those who have seen the mound and the Devil's Dyke. The tale was told to me by a native of the district who had heard it when a boy, from the older labourers working on his father's farm.
Local opinion however, differed on the subject. While some people believed the Knob was due to His Satanic Majesty's industry, others posessing more education, maintained it was a genuine tumulus raised above the body of Cwichelm, king of the West Saxons; and yet a third party claimed that it was composed of the bodies of this king's soldiers, slain hereabouts in some great battle. So prevalent was this last belief that the owner of the land, who was a thrifty soul, cut into the mound and drew off several hundred loads of soil under the impression that it contained valuable fertilising qualities.
The informant to whom I am indebted for the above traditions, well remembers seeing the farm carts coming and going on their foolish errand, and the sensation created in the neighbourhood by this wanton destruction of the barrow. Its poor remains can still be viewed - a monument no longer of a dead chieftain or his forgotten host, but of man's credulity and ignorance.
When I first knew the Knob, it was surmounted by an enormous scaffold of fir-poles - now fallen into decay - which I fondly believed had been erected in honour of the Wessex leader. It was really the work of the Ordnance Department, having been built for triangulation purposes, and the knowledge of this fact, that I learnt later, destroyed much of the mystery with which I had invested the spot.

There is a remarkable tradition amongst the peasantry, who state that this fosse*, from one end to the other, was dug by the Devil in a single night, and that retiring to the summit of the downs he there scraped his spade, the mould from which formed the well-known barrow, Cuckhamsley Hill! Others narrate that it is a furrow made by the Devil, who traversed these downs with his plough!
*ie the Devil's Dyke or Grim's Ditch.

extract from 'Berkshire' by Ian Yarrow
'There are various ways of spelling this name, of which Cwichelmeslaew, the burial-place of Cwichelm, is the most difficult to spell and pronounce. Scutchamer is believed by some to be a corruption of Scotchman's Knob, while others see in it a reference to Captain Scutchamer, a gentlemen killed in the Civil Wars. The "Knob" in its grove may have been a barrow, but nothing has been found inside it that will settle the matter, though some Iron Age pottery discovered in the surrounding ditch may indicate its age. Birinus, the missionary, preached from here in the seventh century, and shire moots sat on it.'
with the original name of the site being 'Cuckhamsley' (deriving from Cwichelmshlaew), where does the 'Scutch' come from? To Scutch is to separate fibres (i.e. flax) and I assume the same is true of wool. The Berkshire Downs were reknowned for sheep and sheep fairs (east ilsley), and I have read (but can't find it among the library - argh!) a reference to Scutchamers Knob being used as a meeting place for a sheep fair.
Given the distance from 'the Knob' to East Ilsley sheep fair, maybe it was a place the shepherds and flocks stayed at, the night before arrival at the fair?
A 'scotch' can be a tool for 'scutching', although the fact that the site is sometimes referred to as Scotsmans Knob (that's quite an unplesant thought if you're a sassenach) may also be because one of the tracks just before the knob goes north! (i.e. to Scotland).
Thats quite enough about knobs, i'm off to look at knockers (...no you idiot, there's somebody at the door)
Before you write an email signed 'Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells' just remember I only copied this information.
- On the edge of the Ridge Way, near West Ilsley, is Scutchamfly Barrow. The hill here is called Scotchman's Nob, also Scratch my Nob. I was told (June, 1901) that a battle was fought there with the Scotch, and that the barrow was the grave of those slain in the battle. An elderly woman told me that her father used to say that the battle was called the Battle of Anna.

from BERKSHIRE by F G Brabant (1911)
This entry is in an old book about Berkshire from 1911. It does mention the 'knob' as being a barrow, but I imagine every lump was termed a barrow in those days.
Scutchamore Knob is a remarkable barrow on the ridge of the downs, two and a half miles S. of East Hendred. It stands in the centre of a fine clump of beeches, and a large hole has been dug on its N. side. The name is a corruption of Cwichelm's hlaew (or hill), which has also been altered to Schoomchamfly. Cwichelm was a chieftan or prince in authority under the King of Wessex, and he may well have defended the line of the downs against the advance of the Mercians, as his son Cuthred did, somewhat later. In 871, the Danes, after leaving Reading, are said in the Saxon Chronicle to have 'turned along Ashdown to Cwichelm's hlaew' just before the battle of Ashdown. In 1006 the Danes, after burning Wallingford and Cholsey, turned again to Cwichelm's hlaew, and stayed there out of bravado, because it had often been said that if they came to Cwichelm's hlaew they would never go to the sea.
Scutchamer Knob was once a 'moot' or 'gemot' place in Anglo-Saxon times. This basically means a 'meeting place' and was used for the local Anglo-Saxon leaders as a sort of 'Berkshire Parliament'. (Originally it was in Berkshire but the boundaries between Berkshire and Oxfordshire changed in the mid 1970's).
Local law and justice would have been decided here. The tradition of meeting outdoors to deal with important matters, as opposed to indoors, has its roots in the Germanic (i.e. A-S).
It was at this place that criminals would be tried and sentenced (sometimes to death). See 'Kilman knoll' nearby on the OS map as a possible site for the hangings.
Originally named 'Cwicchelmeshlaew' (or variaitions on the spelling), the place literally meant 'the law of Cwichelm' and referred to one of the early Wessex Anglo-Saxon sub-kings (a long time before Alfred the Great). This gives a date of use in the early Anglo-Saxon period, early in the 600's AD.
The place became symbolic in the later viking invasions and expansion into the area. The Wessex Anglo-Saxons were some of the last to resist the mighty and all-conquering viking invasions. It was sad if the vikings ever reached as far as Scutchamer Knob, then they wouldn't escape alive. This was reached by the vikings and sort of came true. Alfred led the local Saxons to victory against the Danes in the Battle of Ashdown in the year 871 AD somewhere in the local area (there are various places suggested for this site). The invaders were beaten and retreated back to Reading. This was a pivotal point in Anglo-Saxon times as the vikings had never suffered such a defeat on a large scale before. Although Alfred the Great suffered further defeat at the hand of the viking hordes and ended up fleeing to the Somerset marshes later, it showed they could be beaten.
Scutchamer Knob has had an important place to play in the history of England. The Anglo-Saxons of the kingdom of Wessex came out stronger than the other A-S kingdoms of England at the time of the viking invasions and went to to form the country we now know as England. Out of Wessex, came England.
Add miscellaneous
Details of site on Pastscape
Scutchamer Knob (called Cwichelmeshlaew, in the Anglo Saxon Chronicle) is a large mound ten feet high, constructed of layers of turves, on the Downs just south of the Ridgeway on the boundary of the parishes of East and West Hendred. It is believed to be the site of an Iron Age primary inhumation in a barrow and later secondary Saxon inhumations before use as a beacon.
The site was excavated in 1844, which uncovered a range of finds including a stone bead, an iron buckle, horses' teeth and 'large bones' as well as a large oak stake believed to be the remains of a beacon mentioned in 1738. When re-excavated in 1934, the only significant finds were large quantities of Iron Age La Tene I period pottery, all disturbed by earlier excavations. The mound was surrounded by a ditch originally five feet deep, with no berm. The complete absence of La Tene II pottery is believed to indicate that the mound was erected between 300 and 200 B.C. It lies in a small reafforested copse and survives as an earthwork, crescentic in plan, with a deep hollow in the middle and no trace of a ditch. Its situation, high on the chalk downs, is ideal for a beacon.
[SU 45658503] Scutchamer Knob [T.I.] Tumulus [G.T.]. (1)
Cuckhamsley, Scutchemer or the Scotchman's Knob called Cwichelmeshlaew, in the Anglo Saxon Chronicle (5) is a large mound ten feet high, constructed of layers of turves, on the Downs just south of the Ridgeway on the boundary of the parishes of East and West Hendred.
It was excavated in 1844; the finds, scattered all over the site, consisted of a stone bead, an iron buckle, horses' teeth
and "large bones", a large oak stake was possibly a beacon post, mentioned in 1738.
When re-excavated in 1934, the only significant finds were large quantities of Iron Age A pottery sherds of La Tene I period all disturbed by earlier excavations. The mound was surrounded by a ditch originally five feet deep, with no berm.
The complete absence of La Tene II pottery seems to indicate that the mound was erected between 300 and 200 B.C., but its
purpose is not clear (2) Scheduled (3). (2-5)
Scutchamer Knob lies in a small reafforested copse. The mound is crescentic in plan with a deep hollow in the middle and no
trace of a ditch. Its situation, high on the chalk downs, is ideal for a beacon. Surveyed at 1/2500. (6)
Probable Iron Age primary inhumation in a barrow, and secondary Saxon inhumation. (7)
The secondary burials were found with a bead and bronze buckle and are thought to be Saxon in date. (8)

from 'Berkshire' by Ian Yarrow
'...Cwichelmeshlaew, once described as "the boast and glory of our downs", was for long thought to be a burial-place of Cwichelm, a saxon chief, but in 1934 Mr Harold Peake, after a thorough excavation, came to the conclusion that most probably this was not a burial-place at all and had been constructed for some purpose during the early iron age.'

« What to Say About Wives With Beehives?
My latest piece at The Atlantic looks at how the idea of crafty, home-based businesses (Etsy shops, artisan cupcake businesses, etc) is increasingly being sold as a solution for women's work-life balance woes. Spoiler: it doesn't work (at least not for the vast majority). The problem, IMHO, is that mainstream businesses do such a crap job of family friendliness that women are driven to find other solutions, and that the media is happy to sell women on Horatio Alger story of work-at-home businesses ("Learn how these moms are living the work-at-home dream by starting an organic baby food businesses!").
The piece is also generating a really interesting thread at Etsy, which has often been accused of selling women a "false feminist fantasy" of work-at-home riches.
That is very true. I know how to make a lot of stuff, stuff so popular (from bread to clothes) that people constantly suggest I make it a business. It does not work without rock-hard commitment and I don't have such. The reality of running a business is grim and dull compared with the joy of making a batch of this or that. In the end it is not worth the time. What is worth it however is stuff I do with my brain – blogging and I used to translate a bunch. That made a financial difference and the bookkeeping is minimal.


The classic lasagna made even easier!
1.	In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Sprinkle with salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; set aside.
2.	In a large bowl, combine the pasta, 3 cups mozzarella cheese, cottage cheese, eggs, Parmesan cheese, parsley and remaining pepper. Transfer to a greased shallow 3-qt. baking dish. Top with beef mixture and spaghetti sauce (dish will be full).
3.	Cover and bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake, uncovered, 15 minutes longer or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Freeze option: Sprinkle casserole with remaining mozzarella cheese. Cover and freeze unbaked casserole. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350°. Bake casserole as directed, increasing time as necessary to heat through and for a thermometer inserted in center to read 165°. Yield: 6-8 servings.


COOKEVILLE - An exhibit of tiny cars is expected to generate big excitement at the Cookeville History Museum.
The exhibit, part of a collection from Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, will feature six microcars. And, yes – all of them will fit inside the history museum.
The exhibit – "Lane Motor Museum Travels to Cookeville" – opens Jan. 26 and, weather permitting, will feature a Cars and Coffee car show from 9-11 a.m. in the parking lot at the corner of Broad and Fleming Streets, across from the Cookeville Fire Department.
Five of the six cars in the microcars exhibit are still drivable.
The smallest car to be displayed is a 1976 Willam Cyclo from France. Boxy and bright yellow, it measures six feet long by just under three feet wide. The largest is a 1957 BMW Isetta 300 from Germany, measuring seven and a half feet long by four and a half feet wide. Its single door opens from the front, allowing two passengers to step inside.
"We selected a few small cars with small engines made in Europe, plus one from the U.S., after World War II," said Bennett, who lives in Cookeville and also serves a Cookeville History Museum volunteer and Friends of the History Museum board member.
He noted that even Elvis Presley owned the famous Isetta, a microcar that helped BMW get back on its feet after World War II.
"With Europe's economy in shambles, auto manufacturers knew they needed to get people back on the road," Bennett said. "Fiberglass was a new and easy way to make car bodies, so many companies simply put small, scooter-like engines into these very tiny and inexpensive cars, and the microcar was born.
The exhibit's lone American microcar is a 1942 Carter Town Shopper, one of a few U.S. cars built during World War II. It was marketed mainly to women as a low-cost, two-seater errand runner – a car that could "ease the burden of home life while the husband was overseas," according to the Lane Motor Museum website.
"As we like to say at Lane Motor Museum, there are so many different ways to build a car, and microcars were a unique car built for a certain time and place," Bennett said.
The exhibit continues through March 23 at the Cookeville History Museum, 40 E. Broad St., Cookeville, TN. Admission is free and the museum is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10 am- 4 pm. For more information, call 931-520-5455.

Young family looks to put down roots in Madison, Georgia.
Sick of the cramped subdivision living that John's Creek has to offer, Don and Julie Parsons are motivated to trade in their hectic schedule for the laid back country living Madison has to offer. Along with their two young daughters, Maci and Izzie, the Parsons search for a farmhouse with plenty of space to able to raise horses and other farm animals. With the help of local realtor Ginny Van Oostrom, Don and Julie hope to find the picture perfect farmhouse.


Today was our last day!! We have loved our time at the GMHC. We served this morning in the women's center. Hal of us organized closets and the other half filed while learning some tricks and tips from the women of GMHC. After we were done we met with Seth Richardson our closed out our week. It has been awesome getting to see how the this non-profit was run! We learned so much about HIV and AIDS as well as the health care history of the infection. It is outrageous to us as health care providers to realize in the beginning of the AIDS epidemic some patients were denied based off their diagnosis and basically left to die. As we leave the GMHC, we will remember to take the lessons we learned into our future professional careers.
The afternoon we had off to explore more of NYC. We headed to the 9/11 memorial. Words cannot express the feeling of walking through that museum.


Yksit, mökkejä, asuntoja, houneita | This renovated holiday home has comfortable and modern furnishing. This home is situated on a farmhouse and is surrounded by meadows. This farm has well-tended horses. You can enjoy the large garden in this home. Various shops are located in Stenkyrka, a restaurant is available in Lickershamn and you can ride horses in Tingstäde. You can also visit the military museum in this area.


For starters, Lehigh Gorge State Park, the town of Jim Thorpe, and the surrounding areas are absolutely stunning. If you go to Glen Onoko, be sure to check all of the awesome attractions in the area. They call Jim Thorpe the Switzerland of America. I have never been to Switzerland, however, the feel of this town and area reminds me quite a bit of Durango, Colorado. They even have a vintage passenger train, the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railroad. Glen Onoko is a tremendously different waterfall from any other that I have seen in the state of Pennsylvania. It is a huge series of waterfalls and cascades, with at least ten documented falls and cascades. The largest of these falls reaches roughly 50 feet tall. The string of falls lasts for a distance of over a mile and has an elevation change of 874 feet down a giant cliff in Lehigh Gorge. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century a large resort was erected. One could take a three hour, 90 mile train ride from Philadelphia to Glen Onoko, or a four hour 120 mile train ride from New York. People would spend a week here, exploring the falls, which at the time were nearly as much of a draw as Niagara Falls. They also had amenities for outdoor recreation like Tennis, and people would go to Mauch Chunk (now Jim Thorpe) to ride the Switchback Railway, the gravity powered coal train that was ridden by passengers when it was not hauling coal.
This was considered to be the first roller coaster, setting off a building spree that continues to this day.
The falls are technically in State Game Lands, so if you go during hunting season, be sure to wear either orange or go on a Sunday. Because these falls are located in State Game Lands, the trail is not maintained. The trail is well worn, but expect to be gripping some rocks, roots, and branches to help your way up. When I ascended the gorge I zig-zagged a bit crossing some large rocks across the creek.
One of the railroad bridges has been reclaimed and turned into a vehicular and pedestrian bridge.
Here you can see the bridge piers from a removed railroad bridge. I will delve further into that in a later post.
The Lehigh River, and surrounding tributaries are all excellent trout fisheries. Lots of fisherman were out on this beautiful day.
The bridge that we just crossed has an identical twin next to it that is still utilized by rail traffic.
Now onto the Falls Trail. DO take heed of the following warning sign.
You are responsible for your safety means that you need to wear legitimate hiking boots. You need to be prepared. This is an undeveloped trail, hiking as it was meant to be done. While this was not the most difficult hike that I have ever done, this was definitely up there. You need to take notice of these things. On average, several people die a year climbing these falls. Even the naming of the falls is supposedly linked to the death of someone. The myth is that a Native American girl was being courted by a much older European settler, and that the girl's mother pushed the man off of the falls. The other legend says that the girl went to her mother and was told that she could not marry the man, and that she committed suicide. Gruesome legend, but the death is said to have happened at 9:15 AM, and it is said that the ghost of the girl "the spirit of the mist" appears at that time every day at the falls. Odd story, but the idea of death within the stories applies quite well to this set of falls and serves as a warning to be mindful of the terrain.
These falls are not for the faint of heart, and also not for the unprepared. I would also recommend some sort of a hiking stick in addition to decent hiking boots.
Now embarking on the hike. Here is the bottom of the old repurposed railroad bridge.
The trail starts off gentle enough. Not a super easy trail, but pretty manageable.
Wow! Now that I look at this after the fact, that is some serious hiking!
Now onto the first falls. There are more than a dozen documented waterfalls/cascades within the Glen Onoko Gorge: Entrance Cascade, Crystal Cascade, Pulpit Rock Cascade, Laurel Cascade, Fawns Leap, Spectre Cascade, Rainbow Cascades, Sunrise Point Cascade, Chameleon Falls, Onoko Falls, Terrace Cascade, Cave Falls, and Stairway Cascade. The further you progress up the gorge, the greater the elevation change and the larger the falls. We start off with these small cascades.
I believe that these are the first two cascades.
Working my way up. I have never seen a gorge quite like this.
There are occasional breaks within the creek where it flows normally, not many places like this though.
Climbing up the gorge after Fawns Leap. Don't worry, the trail was not as steep as that. This shows the serious elevation change on the trail.
The falls are so beautiful. I had to cut it short at this point because I was on a tight schedule, but I highly recommend checking this place out. Be sure that you are prepared for a hike like this. Follow the safety precautions laid out between that sign, my recommendations, and any other precautions that one should take when doing serious hiking. This is not to be taken likely, especially since there is not a developed trail and that it flows down an abrupt gorge.


Try easier levels of this lesson: Cockroach Milk - Level 4 or Cockroach Milk - Level 5.
It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but scientists say cockroach milk could become a new superfood. Insect dairy could be the next big thing on supermarket shelves and in our diets. Scientists say insect milk could be a perfect non-dairy alternative to cow's milk, no matter how hard it might be for people to accept milk from bugs. Scientists studied the nutritional value of the milk from the Pacific Beetle cockroach. They discovered that the milk was much richer in nutrients than dairy milk. Scientists said: "A single crystal [of cockroach milk] is estimated to contain more than three times the energy of an equivalent mass of dairy milk." The crystals were also full of amino acids and proteins.
Most cockroaches do not actually produce milk. The Pacific Beetle cockroach is the only one known to feed milk to its young. However, milking enough cockroaches to satisfy a growing human population clearly isn't as easy as milking cows. An alternative is to try and replicate the milk in a lab using stem cell technology, and then turn this technique into a large-scale industrial process. A South African company called Gourmet Grubb has already started selling insect-milk ice cream. It says the milk is, "a sustainable, nature-friendly, nutritious, lactose-free, delicious, guilt-free dairy alternative of the future". It won't be too long before other companies jump on the bug-milk bandwagon.

Adobe ColdFusion is a commercial rapid web application development platform created by JJ Allaire in 1995. ColdFusion ColdFusion was originally designed to make it easier. connect simple HTML pages to a database. By version 2 (1996), it became a full platform that included an IDE in addition to a full scripting language.
One of the distinguishing features of ColdFusion is its associated scripting language, ColdFusion Markup Language (CFML). CFML compares to the scripting components of ASP, JSP, and PHP, but its tag syntax more closely matches HTML, while its script syntax resumes JavaScript. ColdFusion is often used with CFML, but there are additional CFML application servers besides ColdFusion, and ColdFusion supports programming languages other than CFML, such as server-side Actionscript and embedded scripts that can be written in a JavaScript-like language known as CFScript. Originally a product of Allaire and released on July 2, 1995, ColdFusion was developed by Joseph J. Allaire and Jeremy Allaire. In 2001 Allaire was acquired by Macromedia, which in turn was acquired by Adobe Systems Inc in 2005. ColdFusion is most often used for data-driven websites or intranets, but can also be used to generate services such as REST services, websockets, SOAP web services, or Flash remoting. It is especially well-suited to the server-side technology to the client-side ajax. ColdFusion can also handle asynchronous events such as SMS and instant messaging via its gateway interface, available in ColdFusion MX 7 Enterprise Edition.
ColdFusion provides additional features out of the box. Main features include: The engine was written in C and featured, a built-in scripting language (CFScript), a plugin module written in Java, and a syntax very similar to HTML. The equivalent to an HTML element, a ColdFusion tag begins with the letters "CF" followed by a name that is indicative of what is the tag, in HTML. Eg <cfoutput> & gt; to begin the output of variables or other content. In addition to CFScript and plugins (as described), CFStudio provided a design platform with a WYSIWYG display. In addition to ColdFusion, CFStudio also supports syntax in other languages for backend programming, such as Perl. In addition to making a backend.
All versions of ColdFusion Prior to 6.0 were written using Microsoft Visual C ++. This meant that ColdFusion was largely limited to running on Microsoft Windows, but did not boot ColdFusion to Sun Solaris starting with version 3.1. The Allaire company was sold to Macromedia, then Macromedia was sold to Adobe. Earlier versions were not as robust as the versions available from version 4.0 forward. With the release of ColdFusion MX 6.0, the engine had been re-written in Java and supported by its own runtime environment, which was easily replaced by its configuration options with the runtime environment from Sun. Version 6.1 included the ability to code and debug Shockwave Flash.
Version 3.1 brought to the Sun Solaris operating system. Cold Fusion studio has a live preview page and HTML syntax checker.
"Cold Fusion" moniker renamed simply as "ColdFusion" – possibly to distinguish it from Cold fusion theory.
Version 4.5 brought the ability to natively invoke Java objects, execute system commands, and talk directly to a Java EE server.
First release from Macromedia after the Allaire Corporation acquisition. The last to be legacy coded for a specific platform. On January 16, 2001, Allaire announced a pending merger with Macromedia. Macromedia continued its development and released the product under the name ColdFusion 5.0. It retained the name "ColdFusion" through the remainder of version 5 releases.
Prior to 2000, Edwin Smith, Allaire Architect on JRun and later the Flash Player, initiated a project codenamed "Neo". This project was later revealed to ColdFusion Server re-written completely using Java. This makes it easier to provide a layer of security on the server, because it ran inside a Java Runtime Environment. In June 2002 Macromedia released the version 6.0 product under a slightly different name, ColdFusion MX, allowing the product to be associated with Macromedia brand and its original branding. ColdFusion MX was completely rebuilt from the ground up and was based on the Java EE platform. ColdFusion MX was designed with Macromedia Flash using Flash Remoting. With the release of ColdFusion MX, the CFML language API was released with an OOP interface.
With the release of ColdFusion 7.0 on February 7, 2005, the naming convention was amended, rendering the product name "Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7" (the codename for CFMX7 was "Blackstone"). CFMX 7 added Flash-based and XForms-based web forms, and a report builder that provides Adobe FlashPaper, RTF, and Excel. The Adobe PDF output is also available as a wrapper to any HTML page, converting that page to a printable document. The enterprise edition also added Gateways. These services, SMS, Directory Watchers, and an asynchronous execution. XML support has been boosted in this version to include native schema checking. ColdFusion MX 7.0.1 (codename "Merrimack") added support for Mac OS X, improvements to Flash forms, RTF support for CFReport, the new CFCPRoxy feature for Java / CFC integration, and more. ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 (codenamed "Mystic") included in the CF Report Builder.
On July 30, 2007, Adobe Systems released ColdFusion 8, dropping "MX" from its name. During beta testing the codename used was "Scorpio" (the eighth sign of the zodiac and the eighth of ColdFusion as a commercial product). More than 14,000 developers worldwide were active in the beta process – many more testers than the 5,000 Adobe Systems originally expected. The ColdFusion development team based on Newton / Boston, Massachusetts and offshore in Bangalore, India. Some of the new features are the CFPDFFORM tag, which enables integration with Adobe Acrobat forms, some image manipulation functions, Microsoft .NET integration, and the CFPRESENTATION tag, which allows the creation of dynamic presentations using Adobe Acrobat Connect, the Web-based collaboration solution formerly known as Macromedia Breeze. In addition, the ColdFusion Administrator for the Enterprise version ships with built-in server monitoring. ColdFusion 8 is available on several operating systems including Linux, Mac OS X and Windows Server 2003. Other additions to ColdFusion 8 are built-in Ajax widgets, file handling archive (CFZIP), Microsoft Exchange server integration (CFEXCHANGE), image manipulation including automatic CAPTCHA generation (CFIMAGE), multi-threading, per-application settings, Atom and RSS feeds, enhanced enhancements, enhanced encryption libraries, improved network and structure improvements debugging, embedded database support with Apache Derby, and a more ECMAScript compliant CFSCRIPT. For development of ColdFusion applications, several tools are available: mainly Adobe Dreamweaver CS4, Macromedia HomeSite 5.x, CFEclipse, Eclipse and others. "Tag updaters" are available for these applications to update their support for the new ColdFusion 8 features.
ColdFusion 9 (Codenamed: Centaur) was released on October 5, 2009. New features for CF9 include:
ColdFusion 10 (Codenamed: Zeus) was released on May 15, 2012. New and improved features (Standard, Enterprise, and Developer) include (but are not limited to): CF10 was originally referred to by the codename Zeus, After first being confirmed by Adobe at MAX 2010, and during much of its prerelease period. It was also commonly referred to as "ColdFusion next" and "ColdFusion X" in blogs, on Twitter, etc., before Adobe finally confirmed it would be "ColdFusion 10". For much of 2010, Adam Lehman's ColdFusion Product Manager toured the US setting up countless meetings with customers, developers, and user groups to formulate a master blueprint for the next feature set. In September 2010, he presented the plans to Adobe where they were given full support and approval by upper management. The first public beta of ColdFusion 10 was released via Adobe Labs on 17 February 2012.
ColdFusion 11 (Codenamed: Splendor) was released on April 29, 2014. Includes:
Adobe ColdFusion (2016 release), Codenamed: Raijin (and also knownly generically as ColdFusion) 2016) was released on February 16, 2016. Includes:
ColdFusion 13 is codenamed Aether. Aether is the Greek god of the upper atmosphere.
On August 13, 2012 Adobe announced the new Roadmap for ColdFusion including the code names, "Splendor", "Thunder" and "Dazzle", for the next two release versions. Adobe announced new features for ColdFusion including (but not limited to); Mobile – Streamlined Mobile Application Development, Revamped and new PDF functionalities, Enabling Enterprise to easily integrate with Social Media Streams, Enterprise mobility, Multi-content support for responsive, Digital Marketing-Web, Mobile & Social Analytics and Customizable Enterprise Video Portal. Adobe also announced in the same Roadmap upcoming cloud enhancements. The Roadmap ColdFusion projects development out to the year 2021.
ColdFusion can generate PDF documents using standard HTML (ie, no additional coding is needed to generate documents for print). CFML authors place HTML and CSS within a pair of cfdocument tags (or new in ColdFusion 11, cfhtmltopdf tags). The generated document can be saved to the client's browser. ColdFusion 8 also introduces the PDF document. These tags, but do not use Adobe's PDF engine, but do not use it. JPedal Java PDF library and the open source Java library iText, and cfhtmltopdf uses an embedded WebKit implementation.
ColdFusion was originally designed for PHP version 3 and below. ColdFusion falls into the category of OO languages that do not support multiple inheritance (along with Java, Smalltalk, etc.). With the MX release (6+), ColdFusion introduces basic OO functionalities with the component language that builds classes in OO languages. Each component may contain any number of properties and methods. One component may also extend another (Inheritance). Components only support single inheritance. Object handling feature set and performance enhancing has occurred with subsequent releases. With the release of ColdFusion 8, Java-style interfaces are supported. ColdFusion components use the file extension cfc to differentiate them from ColdFusion templates (.cfm).
Component methods can be made available with no additional coding and configuration. All that is required is for a method 's access to be declared' remote '. ColdFusion automatically generates a WSDL at the URL for this component: This will invoke the component's search function, passing "your query" and "strict" as arguments. This type of invocation is well-suited for Ajax-enabled applications. ColdFusion 8 introduced the ability to serialize ColdFusion data structures to JSON for consumption on the client. The ColdFusion server will automatically generate documentation for you. This is an application of component introspection, available to developers of ColdFusion components. Access to a component's documentation requires a password. ColdFusion server by browsing the ColdFusion URL. This interface resembles the Javadoc HTML documentation for Java classes.
ColdFusion provides several ways to implement custom tags, ie those not included ColdFusion language. These are especially useful for providing a familiar interface for web designers and content authors with HTML but not imperative programming. The traditional and most common way is using CFML. A standard CFML page can be interpreted as a tag, with the tag corresponding to the file name prefixed to "cf_". For example, the IMAP.cfm file can be used as the "cf_imap" tag. Attributes used within the ATTRIBUTES scope of the tag implementation page. CFML pages are accessible in the same directory as the calling page, via a special directory in the ColdFusion web application, or via a CFIMPORT tag in the calling page. The latter method does not require the "cf_" prefix for the tag name. A second way is the development of CFX tags using Java or C ++. CFX tags are prefixed with "cfx_", for example "cfx_imap". Tags are added to the ColdFusion runtime environment using the ColdFusion administrator, where JAR or DLL files are registered as custom tags. Finally, ColdFusion supports JSP tag libraries from the JSP 2.0 language specification. JSP tags are included in CFML pages using the CFIMPORT tag. Finally, ColdFusion supports JSP tag libraries from the JSP 2.0 language specification. JSP tags are included in CFML pages using the CFIMPORT tag. Finally, ColdFusion supports JSP tag libraries from the JSP 2.0 language specification. JSP tags are included in CFML pages using the CFIMPORT tag.
The ColdFusion standard installs the deployment of ColdFusion as a file, or as Macromedia JRun, and IBM WebSphere. Apache Tomcat and Mortbay Jetty, but because these platforms do not officially support ColdFusion, they leave many of its features inaccessible. As of ColdFusion 10 Macromedia JRun was replaced by Apache Tomcat. Because ColdFusion is a Java EE application, ColdFusion code can be mixed with Java classes to create a variety of applications and use existing Java libraries. ColdFusion has access to all of the Java classes, JSP custom tags, and can access JSP context contexts (GetPageContext). Prior to ColdFusion 7.0.1, ColdFusion components could only be used by Java or .NET by declaring them as web services. However, beginning in ColdFusion MX 7.0.1, ColdFusion components can be used directly within Java classes using the CFCProxy class. Jython, Groovy and JRuby. ColdFusion was one of the first scripting platforms to allow this style of Java development.
ColdFusion 8 natively supports .NET within the CFML syntax. ColdFusion developers can simply call any .NET assembly without needing to recompile or alter the assemblies in any way. Data types are automatically translated between ColdFusion and .NET (example: .NET DataTable → ColdFusion Query). A unique feature for a Java EE vendor, ColdFusion 8 offers the ability to access .NET Remotely Assemblies through Proxy (without the use of .NET Remoting). This allows ColdFusion users to leverage .NET without Windows operating system.
The acronym for the ColdFusion Markup Language is CFML. When ColdFusion templates are saved to disk, they are traditionally given the extension .cfm or .cfml. The .cfc extension is used for ColdFusion Components. The original extension was DBM or DBML, which stood for Database Markup Language. When talking about ColdFusion, most users use the acronym CF and this is used for numerous ColdFusion resources such as user groups (CFUGs) and sites. CFMX is the common abbreviation for ColdFusion versions 6 and 7 (aka ColdFusion MX).
ColdFusion originated as proprietary technology based on Web technology industry standards. However, it is becoming a closed technology through the availability of competing products. Such alternative products include (in alphabetical order):
In March 2013, ColdFusion 8, 9 and 10 left the National Vulnerability Database open to attack. The vulnerability had been identified and released by Adobe for CF9 and CF10 in January. In April 2013, ColdFusion vulnerability was blamed by Linode for an intrusion into the Linotype Manager control panel website. A security bulletin and hotfix for this had been issued by Adobe a week earlier. In May 2013, the latest version of ColdFusion on any servers, which has not been locked. The vulnerability allows unauthorized users to upload malicious scripts and possibly gain full control over the server. A security bulletin and hotfix for this issue 6 days later. This vulnerability is currently unknown for ColdFusion 9 and ColdFusion 10 (currently supported versions). In April 2015 there was reported a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Adobe ColdFusion 10 before Update 16, and in ColdFusion 11 before Update 5, which allows remote arbitrary arbitrary web script or HTML; however, it's exploitable only by users who have authenticated through the administration panel.

Wang Tao (; 10 November 1828 – 24 May 1897) was a Chinese translator, reformer, political columnist, newspaper publisher and fiction writer of the Qing dynasty. He was born Wang Libin in Puli Town in Suzhou prefecture.

Life

In 1848, Wang Tao went to Shanghai to visit his father. During his stay in Shanghai, Wang Tao visited the London Missionary Society Press. He was warmly greeted by Walter Henry Medhurst and his daughters Mary and Ellen. Wang Tao also met missionaries William Muirhead, Joseph Edkins, and William Charles Milne, all well versed in spoken and written Chinese language.

Work with the London Missionary Society
In 1849 Wang Tao's father died. Wang Tao was looking for a job to support his family. He was offered a job by Walter Henry Medhurst at the London Missionary Society Press in Shanghai assisting in his translation of the New Testament into Chinese. Wang Tao worked at the London Missionary Society Press for the next 13 years. In this period, he also translated many English books into Chinese in collaboration with missionaries Alexander Wylie and Joseph Edkins. These included Pictorial Optics, An Elementary Introduction to Mechanics, Concise History of Sino-British Trade, and A History of Astronomy of the Western Countries.

Refuge in Hong Kong

The middle of the 19th century was a period of turmoil in China. In 1860, the Taiping Rebellion had captured Suzhou, Changzhou, and was threatening Shanghai. During this period, Wang Tao was in contact with the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In 1862, he even wrote a letter under the pseudonym Wang Wan to a Taiping leader, proposing tactics against the Qing military and suggesting that westerners were not the enemy of Taiping. He stated that the real enemy was the Qing government; if the Taiping army could achieve victory over the Qing army led by Zeng Guofan, then the westerners might take side with the Taiping Kingdom.

When the Qing army captured Shanghai, this letter fell into the hands of the Qing government, and the Tongzhi Emperor ordered Wang Tao to be arrested. He took refuge in the British Consulate, remaining there for more than four months. In October 1862, a disguised Wang Tao, escorted by several people from the British Consulate, boarded a Jardine Matheson ship named Rona bound for Hong Kong. This is how he left his homeland to which he was not to return for twenty-two years. In Hong Kong, he changed his name from Wang Libin to Wang Tao.

In Hong Kong, James Legge, the principal of the Anglo-Chinese College invited Wang Tao to stay at the London Mission Society hostel and to assist him in the translation of The Thirteen Classics. By 1865, Legge and Wang had completed the translation of Shang Shu and The Bamboo Book Annals.

In this period, Wang Tao also took on the job of editor in chief of a Chinese newspaper Hua Zi News in Hong Kong, this was the beginning of his journalism career.

Move to Scotland

In 1867, James Legge returned to his native Scotland, settling in the small town of Dollar in Clackmannanshire. He wrote a letter to Wang Tao, inviting him to come to Scotland to continue assisting in the translation of more Chinese classics. Wang Tao boarded a ship and departed from Hong Kong. The ship stopped at Singapore, Ceylon, Penang, Aden, Messina, and Cairo before reaching Marseille. The voyage from Hong Kong to Marseille took more than forty days. Wang Tao took the opportunity of sightseeing in all the ports of call. From Marseille, he took a train to Lyon, then to Paris. He visited the Louvre, and also visited the sinologist Stanislas Julien at the Sorbonne. After a short stay of a little under two weeks, Wang Tao crossed the English Channel from Calais to Dover and took a train to London. After sightseeing in London (including the British Museum), he moved on to Scotland and settled down in Dollar.

During his journey Wang Tao jotted down his impressions of the places he visited. He later collected part of these material into his travel book, Jottings from Carefree Travel (1890), the first travel book about Europe by a Chinese scholar.

In 1867 Wang Tao was invited by the Chamberlain of Oxford University to deliver a speech in Chinese, the first speech delivered by a Chinese scholar in Oxford. He talked about the importance of cultural exchange between east and west, and claimed that the whole world was heading toward a common great unity ().

By the Spring of 1870 the translation of various classics such as The Book of Songs, I Ching, and The Book of Rites were completed.

During 1867–1870, Wang Tao travelled to many places, including Edinburgh, Aberdeen,
Huntly, Dundee and Glasgow, or took short trips to Rumbling Bridge Park, Castle Campbell, Tillicoultry, Alva and Stirling Castle; sometimes accompanied by James Legge and his third daughter Mary.

The travel notes about these places were also included in Jottings of Carefree Travel.

Return to Hong Kong
Having finished his part in the translation of the Chinese Classics, Wang Tao returned to Hong Kong in the winter of 1870. In Hong Kong, he wrote two influential books: A Brief Introduction to France and Report on the Franco-Prussian War. The latter was highly regarded by high mandarins of the Qing government, including Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, and paved the way for his final pardon by the Qing government later.

In 1872, Wang Tao bought the printing press of London Mission in Hong Kong and founded the Zhong Hua General Printing House.

On 5 February 1874 Wang Tao founded Tsun-wan yat-po (1874–1947,  Universal Circulating Herald), the first Chinese daily newspaper in history. Lin Yutang called Wang Tao the 'Father of the Chinese Newspaper'.

During his ten-year career as editor in chief of Universal Circulating Herald, Wang Tao penned close to a thousand editorials calling for the reform of the Chinese political system, by adopting a British style parliamentary monarchy. He also called for reform of the educational system by introducing western science to the curriculum; he called for the establishment of textile, railway, machinery and mining industries. His reformist editorial articles reached a wide audience.

He was the de facto forerunner of the reformist movement in China. Many of his reformist articles were later published as a volume: Collection of Essays from The Tao Garden.

Visit to Japan
In 1879, at the invitation of Japanese literati, including Nakamura Masanao. Wang Tao spent over four months in Japan. He visited many cities such as Nagasaki, Nagoya and Tokyo, and notes of this journey became one of his books: A Record of Travels in Japan (Fu-sang yu-chi).

In Japan, wherever he went, he was surrounded by literati, and sometimes rode in sedan chairs carried by eight men. As a scholar who had lived in Europe and who had an in-depth understanding of European politics and culture, he enjoyed very high esteem in Japan. His travel needs were taken care of by the Qing Embassy in Japan.
Wang Tao was apparently quite moved by his warm welcome in Japan; he wrote that when he left Japan, he was treated with a grand dinner party attended by more than one hundred celebrities, and that he never thought he could become so famous and important, because during his youth at Puli township, he was a nobody. "How lucky I am to get such welcome by foreign scholars several thousand miles away".

Wang expressed an admiration for Japan's modernisation through selective use of Western institutions and technology; however, later he became distrustful of Japan's foreign policy, especially after the annexation of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Return to Shanghai
The fame Wang Tao enjoyed overseas must have affected the Qing government. In 1884, the influential Li Hongzhang sent a letter to the governor of Shanghai, writing: "That gentleman from Kunshan is a rare genius with encyclopedic knowledge. It is a pity he took exile in Hong Kong, if it is possible to get his service for us, we don't mind a king's ransom".

In the spring of 1884, Wang Tao and his family returned to Shanghai and settled down in Wusong district, he also founded Tao Garden Publishing House. He nicknamed himself "The Recluse of Tao Garden".

In 1886, Wang Tao became the head of Gezhi College in Shanghai, where he promoted Western style education.

In 1890, Wang Tao published his travelog Jottings from Carefree Travels.
He also worked part-time for Shen Pao and International Tribune as special columnist; he wrote about two hundred short stories for Shen Pao, China's most important journal of the age.

Wang Tao died in Shanghai on 24 May 1897, at age 68.

Impact
Many Chinese literati before Wang Tao introduced western ideas and translated books into Chinese. Wang Tao was the first Chinese scholar who participated in two way cultural exchange; on the one hand, Wang Tao worked with W.A. Medhurst, A. Wylie and J. Edkins to translate western religion books and western sciences into China; on the other hand, he also played an important role in assisting James Legge in the translation of a large number of important ancient Chinese classics into English.

Wang Tao forged a bridge between China and the West.

Wang Tao Memorial Hall is located in a Qing style house at No 6. Zhongshi Street, Luzhi township, Suzhou.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is narrowing or blockage of arteries that results in poor blood flow to the arms and legs. When you walk or exercise your leg muscles don't get enough blood and you can get painful cramps, which tend to subside when stopping the activity.
Peripheral arterial disease, also known as peripheral vascular disease, occurs most commonly in the legs.
The most common cause is the buildup of plaque on the inside walls of arteries, resulting in narrowing or blockage of those vessels. Plaque is made of extra cholesterol, calcium and other material in the blood. Over time, plaque builds up in the walls of the arteries, including those that supply blood to your legs. High cholesterol, high blood pressure, and smoking all contribute to plaque buildup.
As plaque builds up in the arteries, there is less room for blood to flow, preventing oxygen-rich blood from being delivered to the leg muscles. Without adequate oxygen, the muscles ache and cramp. In severe cases, pain can occur at rest.
Many people who have PAD don't have any symptoms because plaque build up has not become significant to cause decreased blood flow.
Smokers and diabetics are at highest risk of developing PAD. Patients with these risk factors should have simple vascular screening to detect and prevent further plaque buildup.
Classic symptoms include a tight, aching or squeezing pain in the calf, thigh, or buttock after walking, running or exercising. The pain often subsides after stopping the activity and resting. This pain is referred to as intermittent claudication which usually happens after a person has walked a certain distance. For example, a patient's pain may always start after walking a few blocks or after a few minutes. The pain goes away with stopping and resting. As PAD gets worse, meaning the narrowing or blockage increases, pain may occur in the feet or toes without activity called rest pain. This is a severe form of PAD, and needs to be evaluated by a vascular specialist.
At DVVI, a full history and physical exam will be performed including a vascular health screening called an Ankle-Brachial Index or ABI. This non-invasive vascular exam will help predict the severity of disease. During the vascular exam, the pulses at the groin, behind the knee, and on the ankle and foot are palpated. The strength or weakness of a pulse determines the strength of blood flow. An absent or weak pulse indicates presence of PAD. Based on the initial evaluation, further testing may be ordered including arterial Doppler ultrasound, a non-invasive, highly specialized exam, designed to detect accurately areas of narrowing or blockage. Other diagnostic studies which may be ordered are computer tomography angiogram (CTA), magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) or a diagnostic angiogram.
At DVVI, we take a comprehensive approach to treatment of PAD which can range from an exercise and diet program to medical management and optimization of medications to endovascular repair such as angioplasty or atherectomy.
Manage symptoms, such as leg pain, so that physical activities can be resumed.
Stop the progression of atherosclerosis throughout the body to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
If lifestyle changes fail to relieve symptoms, medical management may include certain medications to improve circulation, slow down plaque formation, manage cholesterol or control blood pressure.
High blood pressure medications. The goal of this therapy is to reduce the systolic blood pressure to 140 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or lower and the diastolic blood pressure to 90 mm Hg or lower.
Medication to control blood sugar. With diabetes, optimizing blood sugar levels is important to prevent progression of PAD.
Cholesterol-lowering medications. Called a statin, helps to reduce risk of heart attack and stroke.
Medications to prevent blood clots. Daily aspirin therapy or another antiplatelet medication, such as clopidogrel (Plavix), may be prescribed if there is high risk of blood clot, heart disease or carotid disease.
Symptom-relief medications. Certain drugs which increase blood flow to the legs may help treat symptoms of claudication, such as leg pain.
In more severe cases, endovascular repair may be indicated. In some situations when endovascular repair is not feasible, bypass surgery may be necessary.
At Desert Endovascular Surgical Center, we offer cutting-edge technology to safely and effectively restore blood flow to the legs. We use a combination of various endovascular techniques including angioplasty, stent placement and atherectomy (de-bulking and removal of plaque) to restore blood flow.

""Mother pulled a bundle of rubles from her pocket and exposed it slightly to the officer. He reached for it and then said something to Mother, motioning with his head. Her hand flew up and ripped the amber pendant right from her neck and pressed it into the NKVD's hand. He didn't seem to be satisfied. Mother continued to speak in Russian and pulled a pocket watch from her coat. I knew that watch. It was her father's and had his name engraved in the soft gold on the back. The officer snatched the watch, let go of Jonas, and started yelling at the people next to us.
Have you ever wondered what a human life is worth? That morning, my brother's was worth a pocket watch" (Sepetys 26-27)."
I think this quote is really significant because it emphasizes how the NKVD do not see any value in the lives of their victims. They do not stop to consider that these people are mothers and fathers and children. They only are concerned with their own comfort.

Great reminder from Abraham ( Esther Hicks ) on the importance of taking time to just BE !
"The beasts that came before you, who banged around on this planet, denoted at cellular conscious and unconscious levels, their preferences. And that is how the atmosphere was prepared for you. They did not write one thing on their "things to do today" pads. They just be'd and perceived and concluded and asked vibrationally. And the Universe expanded as a result of their willingness to have exposure to the contrast.
"Today is tomorrow, and present is past.
Nothing exists and everything will last.
There is no beginning, there was no end.
No depth to fall, no height to ascend.
That illuminates nothing, but oh! So bright!
Consuming an eternity of a moment's grace.
For today is tomorrow and present and past.
"Remarkable set of beliefs from one of the 20th centuries great metaphysical teachers the often forgotten Ernest Holmes..
They were written sometime in the 1920s.
How close are they to yours ?
"I believe in the eternality, the immortality, and the continuity of the individual soul, forever and ever expanding.
I believe that the Kingdom of Heaven is within me and that I experience this Kingdom to the degree that I become conscious of it.
I believe the ultimate goal of life to be a complete emancipation from all discord of every nature, and that this goal is sure to be attained by all.
I believe in the unity of all life, and that the highest God and the innermost God is one God.
I believe that God is personal to all who feel this indwelling Presence.
I believe in the direct revelation of Truth through my intuitive and spiritual nature, and that anyone may become a revealer of Truth who lives in close contact with the Indwelling God.
I believe that the Universal Spirit which is God, operates through a Universal Mind, which is the Law of God; and that I am surrounded by this Creative Mind which receives the direct impress of my thought and acts upon it.
I believe in the healing of the sick through the power of the Mind.
I believe in the control of conditions through the power of the Mind.

Welcome to easy Summer Boredom Busters for kids! Today we're having fun with sponges!
I found this fun idea at Make and Takes today and wanted to give it a try!
Step 6: Bring your sponges to the pool with you this summer, or in the bathtub for some added water fun! You can also fill up some buckets of water and add the sponges. Have kids do a sponge toss, you can either have them try to toss the sponges into a bucket for points, or toss them to each other! Just be prepared to get a little wet! But who doesn't love a little water spritz on a hot summer day!
For some alternative sponge crafts, grab some tempera paint and create some cool art with your sponges, they make great texture. Might I suggest a Great Barrier Reef painting?
Enjoy your summer sponge fun!
Keri ~ A homeschooling mom of 2, loving that curriculum isn't just black and white!
What tape do you use for the pictures? How do you get it off without ripping or pulling off part of the paper? Thanks. My kids loe to draw and paint. This looks like a lot of fun.
masking tape is a really good tape to use, but also you cant use just regular paper. I would recommend watercolor paper (found at many art specific stores, also Michael's, ect.) hope this helps!
Oooh, I love it! Great idea to cut them up like that!
Very cute. Is that a pineapple under the sea?


A recent survey of more than 1,000 people in the UK aged 40+, commissioned by leading walking holiday specialist, Headwater has revealed that 7 out of 10 people believe walking to be more important today than it was 10 years ago.
The research, commissioned in celebration of National Walking Month, reveals that three quarters (76%) of people prefer to explore destinations on foot whilst on holiday, than any other mode of transport. With the NHS' recent statistics stating that 1 in 4 adults in England get less than 30 minutes of exercise a week, Headwater's new findings could suggest that more adults will begin to incorporate walking into their daily routines.
When asked which aspect of walking they most enjoy, 84% of respondants said the fresh air, followed by 69% who like the fact that walking keeps them fit.
– More than half of over-40s (54%) believe being around nature to be the most enjoyable thing about walking.
– Just over a fifth (22%) have been on a self-guided or guided walking holiday.
– Seeing a region in their own time is the favourite part of a walking holiday for more than half (57%) of those surveyed.
– Nearly two-thirds (65%) of over-40s love walking holidays because they get to enjoy the outdoors.
– 55% of over-40s think the local culture, food and wine is the best part of a walking holiday.
"Our research supports the recent NHS review of obesity, highlighting the importance of regular exercise for adults. Incorporating regular walking into your routine is easy and as it's not a strenuous form of exercise, it's actually quite enjoyable! On a walking holiday you can enjoy pleasures such as fine food and wine whilst burning off some of the calories when exploring a destination on foot.
35% of over-40s in North-East England have been on a walking holiday compared to just 17% in the North-West, and 14% in the West Midlands.
More than 91% of over-40s in the North-East get about by walking on holiday.
More than half of over-40s in the East of England (55%) and half of people in the South-East (50%) like walking holidays because they can meet new people in a slow paced, relaxed environment.

Q: Is it possible to use React Navigation with snack.expo.io? I like to use snack.expo.io because I'm new to programming and it makes it quick and easy to manage and access what I'm working on. However, I just tried to use React Navigation and can't get it to work. I keep getting "Unable to resolve module 'react-navigation.js'. I pulled up the React Navigation snacks at https://expo.io/snacks/@react-navigation and most of those have the same error. Am I missing something?

Perhaps my initial question should have asked if there is some initialization step I'm missing. I know I have to import it with something like
import { DrawerNavigator } from 'react-navigation';

But is there a dependency I have to manually add? I thought Expo took care of that sort of thing for you, but again, I'm not super experienced with all of this.

A: I don't know if this is the correct way, but I managed to get past the "unable to resolve" problem. I welcome a better solution from someone more knowledgeable than myself.
It did come down to a dependency issue. Again, in the past I'm pretty sure writing the import line resulted in Snack automatically handling the appropriate dependencies, but for some reason it did not here. So in order to get the React Navigation bottom tab navigator to show up I added
"@react-navigation/bottom-tabs": "latest",

to my package.json. My import line had to adjust to
import { createBottomTabNavigator } from '@react-navigation/bottom-tabs';

This came from me poking around the Tab navigation page on reactnavigation.org (https://reactnavigation.org/docs/tab-based-navigation/) Interestingly enough, that did result in Snack pulling in a couple of other dependencies on app reload. I have no clue what the @ in front of react-navigation does; it's the first time I've run into it.

A: Just set their dependencies in package.json and it should work fine:
{
  "dependencies": {
    "@expo/vector-icons": "^10.0.0",
    "@react-native-community/masked-view": "0.1.10",
    "@react-navigation/bottom-tabs": "^5.8.0",
    "@react-navigation/drawer": "^5.9.0",
    "@react-navigation/material-bottom-tabs": "^5.2.16",
    "@react-navigation/material-top-tabs": "^5.2.16",
    "@react-navigation/native": "^5.7.3",
    "@react-navigation/stack": "^5.9.0",
    "react-native-paper": "^4.0.1",
    "react-native-reanimated": "~1.13.0",
    "react-native-safe-area-context": "3.1.4",
    "react-native-gesture-handler": "~1.7.0",
    "react-native-screens": "~2.10.1",
    "react-native-tab-view": "^2.15.1"
  }
}

Q: How to plot LTP vs. time from data available in a matrix in the form of Date, time, LTP I have data in 3 columns:(as shown below

*

*Date        Time      LTP

*20180102    09:16     1800

*...         ...       ...
I wanna plot it in R so that I get time on the x-axis and LTP on the y-axis. Since there are around 360 rows every day (every minute LTP changes), the x variable shall be date:time
I am new to R and I need help in this. Thanks in anticipation

A: Try this:
library(zoo)
z <- read.zoo("myfile.dat", header = TRUE, index = 1:2, format = "%Y%m%d %H:%M", tz = "")

# classic graphics
plot(z)

# ggplot2 graphics
autoplot(z)

Note
To generate a file for the sample data provided in the question try this; however, with only one point you won't see anything on a line graph.
cat("Date Time LTP\n20180102 09:16 1800", file = "myfile.dat")

Pearls Before Swine was an American psychedelic folk band formed by Tom Rapp in 1965 in Eau Gallie, now part of Melbourne, Florida. They released six albums between 1967 and 1971, before Rapp launched a solo career. With high school friends Wayne Harley (banjo, mandolin), Lane Lederer (bass, guitar) and Roger Crissinger (piano, organ), Rapp wrote and recorded some songs which, inspired by the Fugs, they sent to the avant-garde ESP-Disk label in New York.
The Jeweller" opens the album with an exquisite tale that exemplifies Rapp's remarkable abilities to draw upon disparate metaphors such as shining coins and worshiping God, both involving the The Use of Ashes - hence the title. The rural mood created by the notable Music City USA stalwarts effortlessly fuses with David Briggs' baroque-flavored harpsichord on the delicate "From the Movie of the Same Name," featuring Rapp and spouse Elisabeth on non-verbal vocalizations as they "da-da-da" the melody
Easily the most impressive Pearls Before Swine album, 'The Use of Ashes' could be considered a solo Tom Rapp album were it not for the impressive cast of supporting studio musicians who make Rapp's poignant lyrics and arrangements really work. The rest of the band had departed following the band's third album, leaving only Rapp and his wife Elisabeth.

"If you follow accounts that are going to give you a more balanced view on life and appearance, then social media is a good tool.
"But if you're going to follow ones that leave you with low self-worth, then that can be very negative."
Body empowerment starts with being yourself and accepting who you are, says Katie Piper, author, speaker, TV presenter, charity founder, and former Strictly contestant. She admits that's not always easy in our frantic social media age, where people constantly compare their bodies to others' and have fixed ideas about perceptions of beauty.
"We share more and more on social media platforms these days," she says. "So we see more and more bodies — and Photoshopped ones, as well — so, sadly, I think comparison is a big issue. Sometimes, the things people are envious of don't exist anyway; often there's a lot of facade out there.


Volkswagen announced their sales goal of 800,000 vehicles in the US by 2018. That's a long ways off, but right now it looks like VW's product strategy is a long ways off as well. On one hand they're stripping cost out of their base model bread and butter cars, and arguably quality (DRUM BRAKES on the base model Jetta, guys? Hello...) . On the other hand they're offering this ridiculously expensive, out of touch with the market, Touareg Hybrid. Note that Volkswagen's acknowledged target, Toyota, offers the similarly sized Highlander Hybrid with a base price of $37,490, and an EPA estimated 28/28. And despite recent recall issues, Toyota STILL maintains a reputation for quality, while Volkswagen does not.
Volkswagen hasn't had a good read on the US market for years. Sure they've had a winner here and there, but overall their sales and US product have been mediocre at best since the early 1970's. Can Volkswagen pull it's head out of it's backside in time to produce cars that hit the mark here in the US and meet it's 2018 sales goals?
